Demon Progenitor Development Project

Chapter 140 Three Ghosts, Three Shows

Muzan, who is attempting to become independent, has already set off with his three subordinates.

Since the location was deep in the mountains, Nakime didn't have the coordinates to go there directly, so she had to take them to the nearest location, and they would have to walk the rest of the way on their own.

Physical strength is nothing to a demon.

Kokushibo wore a kimono with purple snakeskin and black spots, along with black hakama; Doma wore a red upper body and a black cloak, with a religious-looking hat on his head.

Akaza, no, I should call him Komaji. (If he has a love interest in snow, he's called Komaji; if he doesn't, he's called Akaza.)

In the past, Akaza didn't care what he wore at all; he just dressed casually, often wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts—clothes that allowed him to move around easily.

Now, Komaji, dressed in a black suit, is walking with some difficulty.

If it weren't for Renyuki saying that this suit was a popular style in recent years and that Komaji should wear it to keep up with the trend, instead of always wearing clothes that only immature teenagers wear, and that adults should wear formal attire to look mature and composed.

And it seems that Lianxue really likes him when he wears a suit.

Komaji, dressed in a black suit, has the look of a thug in a suit, and he's quite handsome.

This suit is clearly a torture device, a cage that confines him.

Komaji screamed inwardly. He continued walking at his original pace, only to hear a slight tearing sound, which startled him so much that he quickly stopped taking such large strides.

Komaji: Wearing this suit, I always feel like I've turned into a little girl. I even have to walk with a swaying gait, completely lacking the imposing aura of a man.

Oh, and those damn leather shoes.

These stiff shoes are not comfortable at all; they're not as good as his old straw sandals. Komaji complained about his various outfits, saying, "A wild boar can't eat fine chaff."

Akaza used to place the rosary beads that monks wore on their hands on their ankles as a form of mockery.

Both Lianxue and Master Qingzang are good people, so why don't good people get good rewards?

Buddha?

Those things are all fake.

With this mindset, Akaza has always held various religions in contempt, and whether Doma contributed to this is unknown.

Since Renyuki returned, Akaza has been too afraid to do it again.

Lianxue and Master Qingzang were deeply influenced by Buddhism and held the Buddha in high esteem.

Of the three demons, only Komaji barely resembled a normal person.

Kokushibo looks like a samurai from a previous era, a serious and dignified old man. If you ignore his six eyes, he's clearly a young and handsome guy.

Doma's red and black outfit, with its tight-fitting red top that accentuated his good figure, exuded sex appeal and a flamboyant air. He didn't look like a respectable person at all, but rather like a gigolo who sold his smiles.

Putting everything else aside, if you look closely, Komaji's suit is meticulously ironed, the cut is well maintained, and the edges and corners are quite smooth, while Kokushibo and Doma's clothes have more or less flaws.

The appearance of these three ghosts clearly shows the difference between having a wife and not having one.

However, the image of a yakuza in a suit, a six-eyed samurai from the Warring States period, and the leader of an X cult from the Edo period walking in a moonless night gives off a distinctly horror story vibe.

The three demons moved in a winding line. Komaji walked the fastest, his face tense, while Doma chased after him, complaining about why Komaji was walking so fast.

As for Kokushibo, just like his tone of voice, he walked at the very back at a leisurely pace.

As for where Muzan Kibutsuji is?

As the boss of this scumbag restaurant, he naturally hid at the very back, waiting for the three ghosts in front to scout ahead and discover the pitfalls.

Muzan never intended to bring Doma along at first.

However, when he went to find Akaza, that guy was there, so he shamelessly insisted on joining. Muzan, who had some ulterior motives and wanted to use Doma as a scout, agreed.

There was practically no human habitation in this area, and the forests were in a very primitive state; one could only barely follow the animal trails.

Komaji, frustrated, unleashed punch after punch, carving out a path through the air.

Meanwhile, Doma muttered to himself, completely oblivious to Komaji's chilling killing intent. He merely touched his hair, seemingly mistaking the killing intent for a cold breeze used to style his hair.

Suddenly, Doma said out of the blue, "I have a feeling that this mission was Muzan-sama's private operation."

Muzan, who was following behind: ...

Shugo-sama doesn't seem like the type to assign tasks to Muzan-sama at all; he seems to pamper Muzan-sama like a baby.

Doma swallowed the rest of his sentence with great stiffness.

So sometimes, Doma really deserves a beating. You might say he's naive, but he sees things very clearly, giving people the feeling that he's doing it on purpose.

Kokushibo's silence reflects typical samurai thinking.

Isn't this... a usurpation of power?

The rigid and rule-abiding Kokushibo vehemently opposed this kind of subversive behavior.

But Muzan-sama... doesn't seem to be simply descending.

They were demons transformed from Muzan, and should be considered Muzan's subordinates, but they usually obey Shugo's orders.

But... Kokushibo thought of Muzan's appearance when they first met.

It is only natural for a wife to depend on her husband.

Over the past five hundred years, Kokushibo has seen Muzan in various forms more than once.

So, is Muzan-sama male or female?

Kokushibo was conflicted.

If it's a man, then it's a rebellion against the Heavenly Generals, and it's Lord Hiiragi usurping power.

Should he then advise the emperor?

Kokushibo slowly turned his rusty brain, slowly recalling his responsibilities as a samurai.

As Kokushibo pondered, the background noises were those of Doma and Komaji.

Unable to stand Doma's incessant chatter, Komaji snapped, "Can't you get out of here, Doma?!"

Doma let out a rather aggrieved cry.

"Sigh, I'm just concerned about Lord Akaza's family life... Do you and Miss Koyuki want children...?"

"Ahhhh!"

Komaji is going crazy.

Before we even reached our destination, infighting had already broken out among our side.

Kokushibo stopped thinking, frowned, and looked at the two fools fighting amongst themselves on the battlefield. A fierce light flashed in his six big eyes, and he raised the Hollow Crying God in his hand.

"Land Form - Everlasting Night, Lonely Moon - Infinity!"

Doma: "Hey, hey, Lord Kokushibo went too far!"

I've run out of inspiration and keep missing the mark lately.

The names of Kokushibo's weapons are also full of hidden meanings.
