"In ancient times, there were many ways to escort people.

Pei Buelao took out a few more books and spread them out on the table.

"Huang Mao, I put a triangle ruler under these five books. Can you guess which book it is under?"

Li Shanyi looked at the books. Each book was larger than a set ruler and was covered so tightly that the position of the set ruler could not be seen at all.

Qin Shi on the side smiled and said nothing.

After a few seconds, Li Shanshan smiled bitterly.

"I can't see...oh! I see!"

"You mean that the teachers in our school are divided into many teams and carry out escort missions at the same time."

"But in fact... only one of the groups actually performs the escort mission."

Pei Bujue laughed.

"Huang Mao, aren't you stupid?"

"Then the strongest group must be escorted, such as Teacher Qingzhi or Teacher Chiquan."

"Not always."

Qin Shi, who had been smiling and silent, finally spoke.

When he first heard that the teachers were about to go out on an escort mission, he already understood that it was related to the death of the shadow demon seen in the city.

The person escorted by these teachers should be the girl who inherited the legacy of "Kamado Nezuko".

If the girl inherited by Nezuko is indeed so important to the Hyakuki Corps, then the Hyakuki Corps will definitely send out top ghosts in order to get her.

Even if you can't snatch it, you still have to kill this inherited girl.

"The purpose of multiple teams escorting at the same time is just to confuse the enemy, and the strongest team will also be the team that is most closely watched."

"If we are caught by surprise, choosing the weakest team to escort us might work wonders."

As he spoke, Qin Shi was suddenly startled.

He guessed some possibility.

"I hope...it won't be like what I think."

This time, unlike the previous Hidden Sword Villa mission, we would have direct contact with the Hundred Ghost Group, and the danger would be greatly increased.

Just when Qin Shi had a vague premonition, Teacher Wang, who was in charge of assigning tasks, suddenly came to the classroom and called the three of them out.

It was still a familiar training room, but there was already a girl standing in the training room.

This is a short man with long curly hair hanging down to his waist. He is wearing a pink sweater and a college uniform.

Qin Shi lost his composure after just one glance.

This appearance is like the appearance of Nezuko in the Demon Slayer anime in the modern world.

The only difference from Nezuko in the anime is that the girl does not have a piece of bamboo in her mouth.

"The tasks of other students are randomly selected, but your tasks are assigned by the principal."

Teacher Wang tilted his head, obviously a little confused himself.

"Your mission is to escort this girl to Huatuo College in Huangzhou."

"Pack your things and leave early tomorrow morning."

Huatuo College, Tiangong College, and Yaoshou College are all in Huangzhou of Kyushu Kingdom.

But they are located at the three corners of Huangzhou.

"Um?"

Pei Bujue said curiously.

"What a coincidence. The teachers are on an escort mission, and we are also on an escort mission."

"It's not high, but fortunately it's still in a deserted state. We don't have to cross the sea yet, so this mission isn't too difficult."

Teacher Wang nodded.

"Although I don't understand why the principal must arrange for you to go on this mission."

"But after all, there is still a bit of distance. The principal said that he has also arranged for his direct disciples to protect you, just like the last time you left the Hidden Sword Villa."

Hearing this, Pei Buhuang's eyes lit up.

"Is he the masked student? He is very strong. Although I have only met him once, I don't know why I always feel very friendly and reliable."

Qin Shi on the side rolled his eyes.

Nonsense, the principal is your roommate, isn't he very friendly?

But this time the enemies are the elite members of the Hundred Ghost Regiment, not the weak ghosts of Hidden Sword Villa who haven't even been able to get in line with the Xixiangui.

"Well, things took a turn for the worst."

Qin Shi frowned.

He did not refuse the task, but still planned to ask the principal tonight.

Li Shanyi looked at the girl and rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

...

In the evening, Qin Shi came to Principal Rock on time.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Principal Bai slowly came to the top of the rock with a wine bottle.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? I can't help it. I'm too busy. After all, there are so many teachers to arrange tasks."

"This kind of collective task usually only happens once every three years. It is considered a big event in the school."

Qin Shi was silent for a while, then slowly spoke.

"Is this your and Teacher Qingzhi's plan?"

Principal Bai said nothing and continued to wait for Qin Shi's questions.

"The inheritor of 'Kamado Nezuko' is extremely important to the Hyakuki Group, as it is related to whether they can get rid of their fatal weakness of fear of the sun."

"Even with the protection of the Demon Hunter Academy, they will still take risks to snatch it."

"But what I don't understand is..."

He sighed.

"Why do you have to escort that girl to another place? With the protection of Demon Hunter Academy, are you still afraid that the Hundred Ghosts will come to the school to rob someone?"

"Leave aside the protective formations of the academy, isn't the Demon Hunter Academy the safest place with you and all the teachers here?"

Principal Bai waited for Qin Shi to finish speaking, then turned the wine bottle in his hand.

"I knew you would have this problem."

"Actually, we made the same decision last night. Let the female classmate who inherited the legacy of 'Kamado Nezuko' stay in the academy. Those brats from the Hyakuki Corps wouldn't dare to break into the academy even if we gave them a hundred courages."

"But this morning, after communicating with the dean of Huatuo College, we got new information."

"They have a teacher over there, named Zhu Shi. He is the descendant of Zhu Shi in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba."

Tamashi, one of the characters in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, is a ghost, but he is against the ghost king Mukai.

In the anime, Zhuyo is one of the rare ghosts who does not eat humans. She uses special means to avoid the ghost king's perception, and has been studying ways to turn ghosts into humans again.

"In this world, although some people join the Hundred Ghost Group because they are greedy for longevity and strength, there are also some people who were forced to give blood by the Ghost King and his men, and turned into monsters that are neither human nor ghosts."

"They are unwilling to harm humans, but they desperately suppress themselves under the strong desire to eat humans, and they are always in extreme pain."

"Teacher Zhu Shi from Huatuo College, her research direction is also to turn ghosts into humans."

"After talking on the phone with the dean of Huatuo College, he was confident that he could work with Teacher Zhu Shi to develop a drug that can turn ghosts into humans by leveraging the special characteristics of the inheritance of 'Kamado Nezuko'."

After listening to the principal's explanation, Qin Shi finally understood.

The inheritor of "Kamado Nezuko" is not only important to the evil ghosts of the Hyakukidan, but also to the many poor humans who were forced to become ghosts.
