#185 - Section 185
Just as he was thinking, Lu Li felt a pulling force.
The next moment, he appeared in a civilian house.
Inside the room, a young man was lying on the ground, blood flowing everywhere.
Judging by his clothes, they were clearly not modern attire, but a gray long衫 (a traditional Chinese robe), the fabric already washed white, but still considered neat.
However, now soaked in blood, large patches of the fabric had turned dark red.
Not far from the corpse, a bizarre humanoid creature was grabbing the young man's arm, tearing and gnawing at it, with bits of flesh and blood smeared around its mouth.
"How disgusting!" Lu Li frowned, and then saw the young man lying on the ground turn into a stream of light, merging into his incarnation. Instantly, he knew the identity of his counterpart in this life.
In this life, his counterpart's surname was Lu, given name Yu, and he was a student sent to Japan by the Qing Dynasty.
Since the Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty realized its backwardness and sent many students to study in Japan.
By 1906, the Qing Dynasty had as many as eight thousand students in Japan, which was quite a large number.
And Lu Yu was one of these students.
This life's counterpart, besides being slightly better at studying, was very ordinary in terms of family background and other aspects, and could be said to be quite unremarkable.
After arriving in Japan, Lu Yu had studied for several years, and the Japanese era name had also changed from Meiji to Taisho.
Originally, he had completed his studies and could return to serve the country, but—after celebrating with his classmates, he encountered a strange creature at home and was killed.
Lu Yu didn't know what this monster was, but Lu Li was very clear.
This was a man-eating demon!
This world was probably the world of Demon Slayer.
The Taisho period in Japan was actually the period from 1912-1926.
The martial power of this world was not high, whether it was the Demon Slayer Corps or the demons themselves.
"There's not much to gain in this world," Lu Li pondered, "I can only see if the Blue Spider Lily has any use!"
Of course, this use was only for ordinary people.
For Lu Li or his dependents, even if it could grant longevity, the Blue Spider Lily would be of little use.
With the Creation Authority and the Longevity Curse, his dependents could already be immortal.
Time flowed again, and the demon smelled the scent of a human and pounced towards Lu Li.
268. Weakening the Enemy, Blind Date with Kanroji Mitsuri (3/5, Seeking Subscriptions)
Lu Li reached out, and the demon in front of him shrank infinitely, falling into his hand and being sealed.
Originally, he wanted to destroy this demon, and even directly eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji.
However, he suddenly thought, what period was this? Soon after, the entire Sakura Country would invade his country.
Eliminating demons at this time, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?
"This life's counterpart is a student, and is responsible for strengthening the country and weakening the enemy. Since I have taken over this body, then I will do it," Lu Li smiled, thinking of a brilliant plan.
Following the demon's aura, he sensed a dark place.
The next moment, he had arrived in the Infinity Castle, appearing before Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Nakime, did you send someone here?" Muzan Kibutsuji was furious. Nakime dared to cause trouble without receiving orders, this was simply outrageous.
As for suspecting that the other party was a Demon Slayer, there was no need to doubt it at all.
The Demon Slayers only knew swordsmanship and breathing techniques, how could they suddenly appear in the Infinity Castle.
At least in the demon king Muzan's cognition, only a demon's Blood Demon Art could do this.
Nakime: "Lord, I definitely did not do such a thing, he appeared on his own."
Muzan Kibutsuji looked at Lu Li, his eyes cold.
Just as he was about to attack, he felt that he couldn't move.
"Alright, I don't want to listen to your nonsense." Lu Li kicked Muzan Kibutsuji away and sat on Muzan's seat, "I see that you still have some use, so I came."
Muzan Kibutsuji was extremely fawning: "Please instruct, Lord, I will definitely do my best."
It's no wonder he changed so quickly, he was really scared.
Even when facing Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he had never been so afraid.
The person in front of him was too terrifying, he didn't even move a hand, and he was completely unable to move. He wanted to split his body and escape, but he couldn't do it at all.
Lu Li chuckled: "No, what I want to use is your body, whether you agree or not doesn't matter."
If you want a chess piece to be agreeable, of course you have to shape it yourself.
Like Muzan, a coward, even if he was branded with a slavery mark, he might not do things to his liking.
With a wave of his hand, Muzan Kibutsuji began to change from soul to body. In just a moment, Muzan became a new demon king.
Of course, because Lu Li deliberately did it, the connection between the demon king Muzan and many demons was not broken. Other demons did not die because of Muzan's transformation. Instead, they were transformed by Lu Li along with Muzan's transformation, becoming loyal and not losing their minds.
From then on, from the demon king to the ordinary demons, all were under Lu Li's command.
"Muzan, divide a team of people to control the Eastern Capital's dignitaries. Also, divide dozens of teams to cause trouble in various countries around the world. Of course, except for China."
Muzan Kibutsuji respectfully replied: "Yes, my Lord."
With an order, all the demons began to act.
These demons no longer targeted civilians, but instead drilled into the homes of dignitaries.
The demons in the Demon Slayer world, apart from their immortality, were not too strong and could not directly contend with modern hot weapons.
The weapons of this era were already quite good, and the demons were definitely not opponents in a head-on confrontation.
But Lu Li did not let the demons confront modern technology head-on, but infiltrated quietly, so the process was quite easy.
As for infiltrating various countries around the world, Lu Li needed to personally take action and send the demons over through the Gate of Space.
Moreover, in order to conform to the legends of various countries, he thoughtfully transformed the demons, turning them into vampires.
The West has vampires, which is too consistent with their culture.
After doing this, Lu Li returned to his cottage and summoned Gaiael.
"Lu Li." Gaiael was puzzled, "Do you miss me?!"
Lu Li put his arm around the beauty and said, "It's not wrong to say that, but there is one more thing that needs Gaiael's help."
As he spoke, he told her the plan in his heart.
The general plan was actually very simple—evil rises, demons and vampires cause chaos—angels descend, eliminate demons and vampires—harvest faith, the world is peaceful.
In short, there is no faith without suffering.
Gaiael looked at Lu Li for a few seconds and sighed softly: "Okay, there's really no way to deal with God!"
After all, the Bible also wrote about the flood that destroyed the world.
It seems acceptable for Lu Li, this God, to do something.
"However, there is no need to be too early, wait until they mess up the world," Lu Li reminded, "First, it will be more convenient to collect faith, and second, it can also maximize the impact on various countries."
Lu Li naturally had no good feelings for the countries that had invaded his country.
Gaiael whispered: "I understand."
The two cuddled for a while, and it dawned.
"Oh, right, it seems that someone is introducing a girl to me today." Lu Li's eyes lit up, "I can go and see."
Gaiael was speechless: "God is sick again."
"There's no way, I have a disease." Lu Li chuckled, changed his clothes, and dressed himself very smartly.
As for the kind of robe from the Qing Dynasty, he didn't like it at all.
Walking out the door.
It was still early, but it was already noisy outside.
In any country, it is not easy for the bottom-level people to make a living, and getting up early and working late is the most common thing.
Following the memory of this life, Lu Li came to a tea room, ordered some pastries, ate for a while, and heard someone knocking on the door.
"Please come in."
The next moment, a man in a kimono led a very beautifully dressed woman in.
The girl was tall, with a curvaceous figure, cherry pink hair that was smooth and soft, but the ends turned into grass green, tied into three braids that draped over her heart, with a shy temperament and full of girlishness. She wore a pink kimono, which made people's eyes shine.
The girl's emerald green eyes also secretly looked at Lu Li, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to feel Lu Li's observation, her pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help but lower her head, shy and unbearable.
From the perspective of modern people, this girl's appearance is quite good, and there is no need to go on a blind date.
But it is different in the Eastern Capital of this era.
The girl is nearly 170cm tall, not to mention this era, but also a type that is difficult to marry in modern Eastern Capital.
If she is in school, she may even be ridiculed as the Tokyo Tower and bullied.
Too tall.
The average height of Eastern Capital men in this era is 162cm, and the vast majority are unlikely to marry a woman taller than themselves.
If so, where would they put their face?
269. Kanroji Mitsuri Returns, Meets Kocho Kanae (4/5, Seeking Subscriptions)
"Lu-san, thank you for waiting."
Seeing Lu Li, Mr. Kanroji was very satisfied, he was very tall and looked energetic.
More importantly, he also has a high level of education.
East Asian countries attach great importance to culture.
Even if the people have been complaining that righteousness is mostly from dog butchers, and ungratefulness is mostly from scholars, but when it comes to marrying, the first choice is still scholars.
"Mr. Kanroji is too polite." Lu Li smiled, "Please sit down."
He clapped his hands and ordered some more pastries and tea.
"Lu-san also likes sakura mochi?" Mr. Kanroji looked at the newly served pastries and smiled, "Then you must have many common topics with my daughter."
Lu Li looked at the girl and asked, "Does Miss Kanroji also like sakura mochi?"
"I like it very much." Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes were bright, and after speaking, she stopped shyly and lowered her head.
Lu Li smiled: "Then we will have a common language in the future."
Mr. Kanroji nodded secretly after hearing this and asked, "I heard from Mr. Fujino that Lu-san is about to return to his country after completing his studies?"
"That's right." Lu Li nodded, "The country is decadent, and we Chinese people should do our best to save it, so naturally we have to go back."
Mr. Kanroji frowned.
Parents already dislike marrying far away, let alone 063 international marriages?
Looking at his daughter, he saw that his daughter looked expectant, and obviously did not take the matter of the other party returning to his country seriously.
That's right, if his daughter is in the country, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet a good family.
"Lu-san, I have something to do, you can talk next." Mr. Kanroji got up and said goodbye, obviously wanting to leave the conversation opportunity to the young people.
Lu Li: "Take care."
The door closed.
"Miss Kanroji, please have some pastries, don't be too restrained." Lu Li pushed a plate of sakura mochi in front of Kanroji Mitsuri.
"Thank you." Kanroji Mitsuri nodded, took a piece of sakura mochi, and tasted it.
She ate very politely, and looked at Lu Li from time to time, obviously afraid of being disliked.
Lu Li also took a sakura mochi, ate it quite heartily, and asked, "What does Miss Kanroji think about my return to my country?"
"I think Lu Li is very good." Kanroji Mitsuri immediately stopped her movements and said very definitely, "The country is in trouble, Lu Li naturally has to go back. If, if..."
