Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 23
Five days later, vines struck the mountain.

"Yawn...is it already the fifth night?"

Xin Lailai stretched lazily, glanced at the darkening sky, slowly climbed up from the branch, and yawned.

"I wonder what's going on with Tanjiro?"

Xin Lailai stood on a branch, looking at the mist-filled mountains in front of her, thinking boredly.

This final selection was completely dispensable to him. If it weren't for completing the side mission, he wouldn't even bother coming here.

……

[Side Mission: Evil Ghost Crying]

Task Difficulty: LV.4
Mission Introduction: The final trial, but also the beginning!
Mission introduction: Kill 100 ghosts in the final assessment
Task duration: 7 days

Mission reward: Paradise points*3000, attribute point*1
Mission penalty: any three basic attributes are reduced by 1 point

*Tip: The current task completion degree is 86/100
……

There are about 800 ghosts in the entire Tengxi Mountain. The problem is that the examination room is too large. In addition, Xin Lailai has to avoid accidentally rescuing other candidates, which will cause the people who pass the examination to be inconsistent with the original work. Therefore, the efficiency of killing ghosts is also limited. Severely reduced.

--Wow!Wow!

The unpleasant cry of crows came from mid-air. Xin Lailai glanced at the crows circling in the sky and let out a light tut.

The Demon Slayer Corps used crows to monitor the entire assessment throughout the entire process. This is a detail not mentioned in the original work, but if it is related to the detail in the original work that the Demon Slayer Corps can allocate crows to all the candidates who passed the examination, If so, there are traces to follow.

But this is not the point. The point is that the existence of these crows forces Xin Lailai to carefully find suitable targets to hunt.

Otherwise, he only needs to kill ghosts and silence all the candidates except those who passed the test in the original work to ensure that it will not affect the plot.

As for whether it is unethical to do so?
Xin Lailai admitted that he did have a good impression of both Nintaki Sakonji and Tanjiro. After all, his experience in the past two years was real no matter what.

But Xin Lailai also knew very well that both Nintaki Sakonji and Tanjiro were just plot characters in the derivative world, and he was a contractor who came to complete the tasks assigned by the park.

In addition, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is just a first-order closed world. Once the world ends, it will be almost impossible for him to return here.

After all, he is just a passerby, not a person in this world.

Xin Lai Lai doesn't mind being biased towards the feelings of Nintaki Sakonji and Tanjiro in his actions, but this does not become a reason for him to constrain his actions according to the moral standards of this world.

The atmosphere on Samagiri Mountain temporarily made Xinlai forget some of his worries, but as soon as he left that atmosphere, Xinlai's reason immediately freed him from it.

"It's time to get to work. I hope to find a few more suitable prey today."

After Xin Lailai moved his joints, he looked at the sky that had completely dimmed. He jumped up and landed smoothly on the ground. The moment he landed, the fallen leaves under his feet suddenly collapsed.

trap!

The next second, a pungent fishy smell came from behind, and an earth-grey evil ghost rushed out from the ground, opening its bloody mouth and rushing toward Xin Lailai.

The cold sword light flashed away.

"Why…!"

The evil ghost's body was immediately split into two, and he looked at Xin Lailai standing in mid-air with an expression of disbelief.

Whoa!
Xin Lailai did not intend to give the evil ghost a chance to talk nonsense. After cutting off his head with a knife, he directly opened the treasure chest suspended on the opponent's body.

[Killed the rock ghost]

[Obtain treasure chest (white)]

[You have opened the treasure chest (white)*1]

[You get 643 park points]

……

"I was lucky. As soon as I started working, I met a prey who had mastered the vampire technique and came to my door."

Xin Lailai looked at the large pit at his feet, which was at least 20 meters deep. If he guessed correctly, the vampire skill of the ghost that just attacked him should be earth control or something like that.

"However, if you can control the soil, why do you have to wait for me to land? Why don't you just hollow out the entire nearby area?"

Xin Lailai shook her head helplessly.

Although even if the other party does that, it will be of no use to him, but in the past two years, he has been studying the basic theories related to various spells. Xin Lailai's thinking about skills has long changed into what a magician should look like, so after seeing When using this extremely unreasonable and inefficient way of using skills, I instinctively wanted to say something silly.

"Unfortunately, the ghosts that can be captured are basically those with poor strength. Although they can evolve by eating candidates, there are still very few ghosts who can possess vampire skills."

In addition, the treasure chests themselves still have a probability of being dropped, so until now, Xin Lailai has only obtained three white treasure chests.

And the items that were released were all paradise points, not even half of the props and equipment.

"Calculating the time, those passer-by candidates should be almost eliminated, and there should be no need to be so constrained anymore."

Xin Lailai took a look into the depths of the forest, held the standard Sun Blade in his hand, and strode forward.

……

three hours later
"Phew, in this case, there will only be one."

In a forest, Xin Lailai breathed a long sigh of relief as he looked at the corpse of the evil ghost that was gradually turning into ashes in front of him.

The members of Tanjiro's protagonist group are not vegetarians either. During the period when Xin Lai Lai was restrained, they also killed many of the evil spirits in the Vine Attack Mountain, which indirectly made it more difficult for Xin Lai Lai to complete his mission.

Fortunately, after spending a lot of effort, Xin Lailai succeeded in gathering the mission conditions.

[Completed the side mission: Evil Ghost Crying]

[Task reward: Paradise points*3000, attribute point*1]

After opening the mission interface and confirming it, Xin Lailai moved his gaze to the distance.

The final assessment range covers an entire mountain range, which is very wide, so until now he has never met Tanjiro and others once, and even passers-by candidates have actually only seen one body.Well, that's right, one.

In order to avoid accidentally saving the opponent, Xin Lailai even wandered in other directions for a while before rushing over to take away the evil spirit's head.

"Now that the mission has been completed, there is no need to waste time here. You can go meet Tanjiro."

Xin Lailai was thinking in her mind that not only Tanjiro, but also if she could meet Kanae or Zenitsu, she could try to increase her favorability in advance.

Although it may not be useful, if you can trigger one or two more branches, it will be a huge profit.

……

[Main Mission·Third Ring: Spider Destruction]

Task Difficulty: LV.6
Mission introduction: Twisted love and twisted emotions should be cut off with a sharp blade!
Mission introduction: Assist Kamado Tanjiro to kill the subordinate Wu Lei, and the overall contribution shall not be less than 40%.

Mission period: 36 days, 15 hours and 21 seconds

Mission reward: Return Qualification*1, Attribute Points*4, Paradise Points*7500.

Mission penalty: All basic physical attributes are reduced by 4 points.

Tip: The basic attributes of the body are strength, agility, physical strength, and intelligence.

……

Yes, Xin Lailai has advanced the main mission to the third ring.

As for why Xin Lailai was able to directly complete the second ring main mission that required joining the Demon Slayer Corps without even passing the final assessment?
The assessment of the Demon Slayer Corps was originally set up to select powerful demon-slaying swordsmen. In other words, if it can be proven that one's own strength has already reached the standard, there is no need to go through so many procedures.

Of course, if you really want to achieve that simple level, you must at least show standard column-level combat power, which Xin Lailai obviously cannot do.

Although his strength has far surpassed that of Tanjiro, who is the protagonist, he is at best on par with Yui Qisan, who is in the lower string team. This is based on the fact that he knows Yui's moves thoroughly.

And if it were the Hashira of this generation's Demon Slayer Squad, any one of them would be able to kill the entire group without any intelligence.

Therefore, Xin Lailai did not make an exception to join the Demon Slayer Corps simply by relying on his own strength. What really allowed the Demon Slayer Corps to directly open the back door to him was the healing technique he mastered.

More than a year ago, after Kintaki Sakonji discovered that he had the ability to heal other people's injuries, he immediately took him to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps without stopping.

There was no suspense about what happened after that. With the help of healing skills, Xin Lailai successfully improved the condition of the Demon Slayer Lord, and instantly became the benefactor of the entire Demon Slayer Corps.

With this kind of kindness, not to mention that Xin Lailai showed the strength of a senior demon-slaying swordsman, even if he was really an ordinary person with no strength, he could easily make an exception and join the Demon Slayer Corps as a doctor.

"After the final assessment is over, I will first get the Nichirin Sword forged by the Demon Slayer Team, and then before the plot of Natian Spider Mountain comes, I will slay more ghosts who master the vampire technique and save more rewards."

Xin Lailai was walking in the mountains and forests, thinking about his next plan in his heart.

It was not beyond Xin Lailai's expectation that he could return to the paradise after reaching the third stage of the main mission.

"As Brother Ritian said, although it is indeed much more difficult than the trial, relying on Brother Ritian's training results, this world is not particularly difficult for me."

If we really want to call it dangerous, the most dangerous thing is actually the first link of the main mission. Once the key is not discovered, it will be completely destroyed.

As for the second part of the main mission?
This is obviously the compensation for what 04296 calls the Sanctuary Paradise for his experience in the trial world.

One and a half years of training directly succeeded in transforming him from an ordinary person who was not even skilled in killing chickens into a standard contractor with certain combat experience, and his physical attributes were also greatly improved.

Although the main plot of the third ring is difficult, given his current strength, it may be a bit difficult to kill the lower team alone, but with Tanjiro's assistance, it is definitely not difficult to complete the task with 40% contribution.

Generally speaking, this derivative world is relatively easy for Xin Lailai.

Of course, such ease was purely based on his over-preparation.

You must know that he is now a LV.2 contractor. Under normal circumstances, ordinary LV.2 contractors like him are newcomers who have just completed the trial and entered the paradise for the first time. Let alone be fully prepared, stupid Some may even forget to strengthen attribute points.

A new contractor like Xin Lailai who could be guided by someone as soon as he entered the park and also arranged various targeted trainings was not to say unique, but he was definitely a rare exception.

"According to my brother, this situation means that I have become the key training target of the park. In terms of results, it seems to be pretty good?"

Because of the experience of entering the paradise and the trial world, according to 04296, as long as the difficulty of his first derivative world is higher than that of ordinary LV.2 contractors, it basically means that he has successfully entered the list of key training targets in the paradise. middle.

And now the difficulty of the third level of his main mission has reached LV.6. No matter how you look at it, it is definitely not the treatment that ordinary LV.2 contractors should receive.

Whoa-!
Suddenly, a large number of birds and beasts flew out of the woods in the distance. When Xin Lailai saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately ran in the direction of the movement.

The ghosts that dare to hunt and cause trouble at this time are most likely evil ghosts who master the vampire technique. If you are lucky enough, you might get another white treasure chest.

The howling evening wind passed by Xin Lailai. With a physical attribute of 11 points and the ability to breathe, his normal speed is already equivalent to the average speed of a real-life professional runner's [-]-meter dash. .

Tiny magic chips were generated under Xin Lailai's feet, and then quickly shattered after he stepped over, successfully allowing Xin Lailai to walk on flat ground in this forest with a leaf litter nearly three centimeters thick.

Arrived!

A pungent smell of blood suddenly reached Xin Lailai's nostrils. Xin Lailai's eyes narrowed and he stepped forward, carefully sensing the situation ahead. The magic shield condensed in front of him and he rushed out of the woods in an instant.

Almost the moment Xin Lai Lai rushed out of the woods, something hit him directly in the face. When Xin Lai Lai saw this, he immediately raised the standard sun blade in his hand and split the thing that hit him in two.

The strong smell of blood hit his face, and a large amount of blood hit the magic shield in front of Xin Lailai.

This brief pause allowed Xin Lailai to clearly see what was coming at him, and at the same time, his breath suddenly suffocated.

It was a human head.

In fact, Xin Lailai was not surprised by the death. After all, there were only a few people who passed the test in the original work.

The problem is that Xin Lailai is very familiar with the human head that was thrown over:
The girl's beautiful face no longer exists, and there is still a trace of confusion and despair in the empty pupils. The pink bow is split into two along with Xin Lailai's knife just now, along with the scattered red and white things. Smashed to the ground.

The girl who gave off an aesthetic sense of independence from the world when we first met her eventually became the wife of the protagonist Tanjiro Kamado in the original work. In a sense, she can be regarded as the heroine, Kurihana Rakana... …

--died!
