JOJO: A bizarre adventure that begins with Demon Slayer

Chapter 36 The evil ghost in the temple

Jotaro rested for two days in the northwest town, and then he got up and went with Butterfly Ninja to the headquarters of the Demon Slayers - the residence of product Shiki Yoshiya. He learned from Butterfly Ninja that this man was the [-]th generation leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, who was also their current lord.

He had originally intended to get news about Muzui Demon Slayer from within the Demon Slayer Corps. After Butterfly Ninja explained her intention, he did not refuse, but chose to go with her to meet the leader of the organization that has fought against ghosts for thousands of years.

"Jo Taro-san, when did you awaken the substitute ability you mentioned? Apart from you, is there anyone else in this world who has this ability?" Butterfly Ninja tilted her head and looked up at him. She is only 151cm tall. Centimeter, you have to do this every time you talk to him in order to see his expression clearly.

She said troubledly: "This is a force that cannot be underestimated. If ghosts can master this kind of power, it would be bad."

Jotaro doesn't know whether there are other substitute messengers in this world, and he has no way to answer this question.

Seeing that Jotaro was sullen and silent, Butterfly smiled and said, "Jo Taro-san, you will definitely get along well with Mizuho Tomioka Giyu-san."

She glanced at the temple in front of her, her eyes flashing with dim light, and she said faintly: "It seems we have arrived."

When they set off, the butterfly ninja's crow informed her that evil spirits were attacking travelers on the Lailai Mountain south of the northwest town, so the two of them rushed over, planning to deal with the evil spirits in this area first.

This is a dilapidated ancient temple, with ruins on the outside, overgrown weeds, and a tall Bodhi tree broken on the side. The mountains in this season should be filled with the chirping of insects and birds, but at this time it was unusually quiet. There was no other sound around, only the "ta-ta-ta" sound of Jotaro's black leather shoes on the dilapidated stone road.

His steps were heavy and powerful, as if there was a special magic that could soothe the throbbing heartbeat.

"Jotaro-san, it seems that the evil spirit is hiding in the temple in front." Butterfly Ninja said softly. Her sense of smell was more sensitive than Jotaro. From the moment she stepped into the temple, her nose was filled with A strong smell of blood. Her heart sank.

Although she was smiling, there was strong anger hidden under her smile.

Jotaro put his hands in his pockets, staring deeply at the swaying green lantern in front of him. Next to the green lantern was a half-broken arm, and blood dripped down the moldy wooden table to the ground.

There are many passers-by on this mountain. When they see that it is getting late, they will rest here. Although there is a hotel built on the mountain a few hundred meters further, not everyone can afford the modest accommodation fee.

Evil spirits lurk here just to attack passers-by who rest in the temple.

Jotaro walked slowly up the stairs, followed closely by Butterfly Ninja. She actually knew the location where the evil spirit was hiding, but she did not warn him.

She wanted to see clearly whether Jotaro's strength was worth the lord's effort.

Jotaro walked slowly, but each step was calm and powerful. His footsteps were the only sound in this space.

The evil ghost's heart beat unconsciously with his footsteps. He was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for someone to get close to him.

Jotaro's pace became slower and slower, and he finally stopped in front of the Buddha statue. This Buddha statue seemed to be old. There were cracks in the large Buddha body. Half of the Buddha's head was also missing, leaving only one piece. A mouth that smiles kindly.

Suddenly a bloody light flashed from behind the Buddha statue, extinguishing the green lamp on the old wooden table, and the interior of the narrow temple was immersed in darkness.

The evil spirit tore the Buddha statue in front of him into pieces and attacked Jotaro. He laughed and said, "I'm so lucky today. I didn't expect two more people to come to my door!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Jotaro lowered his black hat and calmly looked at the evil ghost close at hand.

"starplatinum!"

"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

Platinum Star waved his fist and hit the evil ghost mercilessly. In just a short moment, his body had numerous dents and became dripping with blood.

His happy smile turned into horror.

What kind of power is this? I can’t break free at all! hateful! Who is this guy!

"Oh!" A heavy punch hit his face, and his entire face was sunken. And the power of this punch knocked his entire body away, and the base of the Buddha statue was smashed into pieces.

After that, Jotaro stopped taking action. He didn't have the ability to kill evil spirits, so he just left it to the girl from the Demon Slayer Squad next to him.

The butterfly ninja looked sympathetically at the bloody face of the evil spirit in front of him, and said softly: "Are you okay, Mr. evil spirit?"

The evil ghost's facial features are already different, even more abstract than Picasso's paintings. Until now, she and Jotaro still didn't know what the evil ghost in front of them looked like.

"Help...save...me, save...save me." A weak voice sounded in the corner of the temple. Jotaro and Butterfly Ninja turned around suddenly, and a mutilated body shouted desperately in the dark corner.

Butterfly Ninja flashed and came to him in an instant.

This is a man in his thirties. His right hand was broken at the root by an evil spirit. He lost a lot of blood and had no strength to shout loudly. He could only murmur subconsciously in a voice that was smaller than a mosquito. His consciousness was about to fade away, but his strong desire to survive supported him and shouted out.

He has a frail old mother. Because of his poor family background, he can only go to the mountains to collect medicine by himself.

Usually he would come home on time so that his mother and wife would not worry. But when he was picking herbs today, he found a good place. The herbs in that place grew very juicy and were better than those sold in the drug store. When he was happy, he picked more.

Unexpectedly, by the time he picked it, the sky had already darkened. Walking on the mountain road at night is very dangerous, so he decided to rest for one night in the dilapidated temple on the mountain and go back home early the next morning.

But when he stepped into the temple, he saw that terrifying scene. A monster with fangs was eating a strong human being. The man's eyes were wide open, as if they were about to bulge out. He had never seen such a scene before, and his breathing became rapid. His limbs were also trembling.

He turned around quietly and rushed outside, constantly telling himself that this was just an illusion, and it must be because he was too tired during the day.

But when the evil spirit tore off his arm cruelly, he knew that all this was true. There really were man-eating evil spirits in the world!

Just when the evil spirit wanted to tear apart his other parts, heavy footsteps appeared outside the silent temple. To him the monotonous sound of footsteps was sweeter than any instrument he had ever heard. The evil ghost immediately stopped and hid behind the Buddha statue.

The blood loss from the broken arm gradually blurred his consciousness, but he struggled to ask for help from the two people in front of him. He knew that this was his only chance to survive. He doesn't care about his own life, but he cannot abandon the responsibility above life.

He couldn't imagine how his mother and wife would live after he died.

These two calls for help took all his strength, and after shouting, he completely fainted.

Butterfly Ninja saw that the person attacked by the evil spirit was not dead yet, so he did not hesitate and bandaged him immediately. She had used the crow to call the "hidden" nearby. Although her medicine had a strong hemostatic effect, the man had lost too much blood and it would be difficult to survive without timely blood transfusion.

The moment Butterfly Ninja and Jotaro diverted their attention, the evil spirit regained his ability to move. He jumped rapidly in the dark space and kicked the scattered pieces of the Buddha statue towards Butterfly Ninja's position.

Since the butterfly ninja was concentrating on taking care of the injured man, he could not free his hands to deal with the debris coming towards him.

Fortunately, there was a wall of copper and iron standing in front of her.

"starplatinum!"

"Oola olaola olaola!"

Although it was pitch black here, Platinum Star's eyes, which were more precise than a microscope, could distinguish these tiny fragments one by one. Not only that, the speed of his punches was faster than the flying fragments. In an instant, countless fragments were smashed into dust by him.

"Oh!" He grabbed a small fragment of the Buddha statue and threw it out with all his strength.

"Pfft!" The fragment accurately hit the evil ghost's leg in the dark space.

Seeing that he had no advantage in this situation, the evil spirit took a deep look at Jotaro, then broke the window next to him and fled into the dark night.
