The Demon Slayer Corps was very curious about how to create an artificial sun to destroy demons.
Unfortunately, given their cultural level, understanding nuclear fusion was as difficult as Earthlings studying the Trisolaran water droplet.
Although Lu Chen had explained it to them in the most common language possible, everyone still looked confused and bewildered.
Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu especially found themselves scratching their heads.
Their heads itched so badly, they felt like they were growing brains.
Fortunately, they understood one simple fact:
It didn't matter whether the Demon Slayer Corps could beat Muzan, as long as Lu Chen and the Kanmusu could do it.
Their only responsibility was to find Muzan and the other Upper Moons, leaving the rest to the celestial soldiers.
From the way Richelieu had instantly killed Upper Moon Two, Douma, it was clear that none of the Upper Moons were a match for her.
“So, the question now is, how do we find the remaining Twelve Moons and Muzan?”
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Kibutsuji Muzan, the boss of the Demon Slayer world, had survived for over 1,000 years, not only because he was cruel and powerful.
More importantly, Muzan was cautious, or rather, cowardly.
He usually lurked in the shadows, commanding his demon underlings to do his bidding.
At the slightest hint of trouble, he would disappear without a trace.
During the Warring States period, after being severely beaten by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he had been hiding, only daring to reappear after Yoriichi Tsugikuni's confirmed death.
Lu Chen suspected that after learning of Douma's instant death, he would resort to his old tricks and disappear again.
If this guy really digs a hole and hides in the deep mountains and forests, it might take ten or eight years to find him.
He couldn't stay in the Demon Slayer world with him forever.
“Perhaps we could dispatch more Demon Slayers to hunt him down?”
Kanae suggested.
“As soon as they discover the whereabouts of the Twelve Moons or Muzan, they would immediately call for Lu-san and his people for support?”
“That's difficult.”
Akaza shook his head in refusal.
“Ordinary Demon Slayers wouldn't even have time to react when facing an Upper Moon, they would be killed instantly, they wouldn't even have a chance to call for reinforcements.”
“What if we provide the Demon Slayers with air support from the carriers? Destroy them on sight, those demons shouldn't be able to withstand aerial bombs, right?”
Kaga also came up with a suggestion.
There were three aircraft carriers with them, carrying hundreds of reconnaissance planes and bombers, with a strike range that could cover a vast area.
The Demon Slayers could track the demons on the ground, and as soon as they found anything, they could launch an air strike against them.
“Did you learn that from Essex? But that won't work either.”
Lu Chen shook his head.
“The Demon Slayer Corps has only a few people, searching for Muzan and the Twelve Moons in such a large place is like searching for a needle in a haystack.”
“……”
“Then what should we do?”
Everyone pondered for a while, unable to come up with a good solution.
“……”
Lu Chen rested his chin in his hand, quickly reviewing the original plot of Demon Slayer in his mind.
This arc… the Swordsmith Village… Infinity Castle…
He was trying to understand Muzan's purpose and thoughts.
“If it's hard for us to find demons, then let's change our thinking.”
“Let the demons come to us, won't they?”
“Huh?”
The Demon Slayer Corps was taken aback.
“Let the demons come to us? How?”
The Kocho sisters blinked and leaned forward.
“Do you know what Muzan wants most?”
Lu Chen held up two fingers.
“First, find the Blue Spider Lily, create a potion that allows demons to move in sunlight, become immortal, and achieve true eternal life.”
“Second, kill the Demon Slayer Corps and everyone who poses a threat to him, so he doesn't have to live in fear.”
“We can use these two points to lure him out.”
Demons, compared to humans, had faster reaction times, stronger bodies and recovery abilities, and various magic-like Blood Demon Arts.
But they also had a fatal flaw: they couldn't see sunlight.
Even the progenitor of demons could not escape this weakness. Muzan had survived for a thousand years just to solve this problem.
At the same time, his extreme fear of death prevented him from tolerating anyone who posed a threat to him.
After the death of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he killed all the swordsmen who used Sun Breathing, cutting off the lineage of Sun Breathing, to eliminate any future threats.
Cruel yet cowardly, tyrannical yet cunning, Kibutsuji Muzan was a contradictory being.
“Oh, we never thought about what Muzan wants to do…”
“Now that you mention it, it does make sense.”
Akaza and the other members nodded, feeling that Lu Chen had a deep understanding of this world.
He knew more about demons than the Demon Slayer Corps, who were experts in this field.
They really didn't know where he got all this information.
“So, according to your two points… to lure Muzan and the other Upper Moons to our doorstep, there are only two ways.”
Akaza pondered for a moment.
“First, find the Blue Spider Lily.”
“Second, use the Demon Slayer Corps as bait and expose themselves.”
“In this way, Muzan will surely come looking for us?”
“Smart!”
Lu Chen gave him a thumbs-up.
Akaza, though seemingly frail, had a sharp mind.
“Moreover, the best way is to combine these two plans.”
“Think about it, if there was a precious Blue Spider Lily in the Demon Slayer Corps' stronghold, a flower that could allow demons to overcome the sunlight, wouldn't that be very attractive to Muzan?”
Lu Chen waved his finger.
“He just needs to attack, he can kill the Demon Slayer Corps and get the treasure he wants, he has no reason to refuse, right?”
“At that time, he will definitely unleash his signature move, bring his entire family along, shout about how the fate of the empire rests on this battle, and charge at us to fight to the death…”
“……”
Not only the Demon Slayer Corps, even the Kanmusu standing nearby were stunned.
Commander, why do you know so much about Muzan?!
And what is this plan about?! It smells of danger and… something not quite right!
