After the name was spoken, there was a long silence.Tanshan Zhudou and the other four stared at Yunnai with surprised expressions, as if it was hard to believe that she did this suddenly.

After a while, my wife Shanyi suddenly covered her forehead and let out a painful scream: "No—why is that vicious uncle! He's so scary! Yunnai-chan, do you think life is too easy now?"

"...He's not scary, he's a good person." Yunnai tried hard to explain, "He hides his soft heart with a fierce appearance..."

"Don't—he obviously stabbed Nezuko, and he was very fierce to us—" My wife Shanyi seemed to have not heard Yunnagi's words at all, and was still crying wildly, "No, from now on we will Do I have to deal with that uncle if I find you? I will definitely be beaten!"

Yunnai was a little ashamed, and carefully recalled that Immortal Kawasami was so fierce to her own younger brother, let alone other people.

She had no choice but to continue: "You don't need to deal with him. Besides, he is only 21 years old, not an uncle...and if he wants to beat you, I will definitely jump out and stop him!"

My wife Shanyi howled loudly, while Unnagi desperately explained.The Zaomen brothers and sisters and Zuihei Inosuke stood aside and wanted to intervene but couldn't find a chance, holding their little hands and looking a little embarrassed.

Suddenly, my wife Shanyi stopped crying, changed her face in an instant, and slapped Yunnagi on the shoulder fiercely: "Why didn't you tell us about this earlier! Tanjiro asked you before! If you need someone If you want to help get engaged, you can ask anyone among us! We will all agree to you!"

"I... I did think so at the time, but I'm not embarrassed..."

Yun Nagi said hesitantly.At this time, she also began to imagine.If I had made it clear to my friends at the beginning, and then randomly asked someone to help... things would definitely be different from what they are now...

But things have become the way they are now, and there is nothing wrong with it.It's useless to think about these things, stoner!The most important thing is to try to walk out of a path so that the future self will not regret it!

"But if Unnagi feels happy..." Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help interjecting at this time, with a complicated expression on his face, "Although I didn't expect you to get engaged so early, but if you're happy, everything will be fine, right?"

"Idiot, Tanjirou! Tanjirou, idiot!" My wife Zenyi vigorously knocked on Tanjirou's iron head, "This is just a stopgap measure! It has nothing to do with happiness at all, as long as someone gets engaged to her!"

"But……"

Kamado Tanjiro wanted to say something, but suddenly Zuhira Inosuke took a deep breath, and let out a loud roar, interrupting everyone's words.

"It's so noisy!" Zhutou came over aggressively and asked loudly, "Yunnai, do you like Fengzhu? Do you want to be with him like a male and a female animal in the mountains?"

Zuihei Inosuke's question made Unnagi embarrassed.Is this what the hero's partner would ask?It's so vulgar!And how should she answer this?

However, as soon as this question came out, everyone and the puppets turned their heads to stare at her, as if waiting for her answer.Are these guys human (except Yuanyi Zero Shiki, who is not human in the first place).

Yunnai's expression gradually changed from embarrassment to dullness, and finally said with a dark face: "I don't understand what you mean."

Seeing the pig’s head, he wanted to continue talking, lest he said something worse that would cause this article to fail the review, the Stone Killer simply took out the cursed stone from his backpack, “To the foaming pig essence (LV74) challenged."

……

A few minutes later, the system prompts: [You defeated the unconscious pig essence (LV74), experience 0]

Every time you defeat Zuipira Inosuke, you will drop the loincloth.But the loincloth can't really start every time.Yun Nagi didn't bother to pick up the dropped items, so he rolled up the unconscious pig essence with a quilt and placed it by the door, then patted the dust in his hands.

Seeing her ferocious behavior, my wife Shanyi, who was still chirping just now, was completely silent.The Zaomen brothers and sisters involuntarily hugged each other tightly, standing aside trembling.

The silence lasted for a while, and finally Yuanyi Zeroshiki spoke: "Unnagi, what do you plan to do next?"

"...Let's just make do with it. There's nothing wrong with Fengzhu as an engagement partner." Yunnagi felt a headache and decided not to think about these issues, "If something happens, we'll talk about it at that time. In short, future problems, just Leave it to me in the future to solve it."

Speaking of this, she remembered the training of Kamado Tanjiro and the others, so she asked Enichi Zero Shiki: "How is your training going?"

Enichiro paused, and looked at Tanjiro Kamado.

"Most of Tanjirou's markings have appeared," he said.

"Huh?" Unnagi was taken aback, and hurried over, raised his hand and brushed the hair on Tanjiro's forehead for a closer look.Sure enough, after looking at it, she found that the original scalded marks had turned into a bright texture like a tattoo, and the color had gradually changed from the dark pink characteristic of scars to the dark red of charcoal fire.

Except for the different shape, the texture and color of the markings are almost exactly the same as the markings painted on Yuan Yi Zero's forehead.This also means that the markings of Kamado Tanjiro belong to the same origin as the markings of Tsuiguni Enichi during the Warring States Period.

And the moment Unnagi's fingers touched the spots on Kamado Tanjirou's forehead, the system caught off guard and sounded a burst of fast-paced reminder music, and then a line of reminders appeared in front of Yunnagi.

[Acquired [Clue of Zebra · 1]]

[Currently [Clues of Stripes] collection rate is 20%]

Hey, is there such a small collection task?

Unnagi stared at the system prompt in a daze, forgetting that his hand was still poking Kamado Tanjiro's forehead.The boy held back for a long time before opening his mouth cautiously: "Yunnai, you are still holding my head..."

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Yunnai came back to his senses at this moment, and quickly put down his hand.

Thinking of the title "Treasure Hunting Expert" that she got when digging up pirate treasures, which is helpful for collection, she immediately put the real title on the top, and then asked Yuanyi Zero Style: "What's the matter with the stripes?"

"The stripes are a unique symbol of the swordsmen who use the breath style. The appearance of the stripes means that the strength has reached a certain level. Ji Guoyuanyi is the first person to have the stripes."

Yuan Yi replied in zero style, and then slowly shook his head: "That's all I know. At that time, I was just a puppet who couldn't move freely, so it was difficult to hear more news. In Jiguoyuan Not long after that generation of swordsmen, the inheritance of stripes probably ended. Because after that, I never saw stripes appear on the swordsmen who came to me for training."

As soon as Yuan Yi Zero type finished speaking, the system popped up a prompt again.

[Acquired [Clue of Zebra · 3]]

[Currently [Clues of Stripes] collection rate is 40%]

Yun Nagi understood.She currently needs five fragments of information to piece together the whole picture of the streak clues.The information currently available is the first and third.What still needs to be collected are the second, fourth, and fifth items.

Remembering that he just saw the spots on Kamado Tanjirou's head and hadn't talked to him about it, Unnagi asked quickly, "Tanjirou, do you know how the spots on his head came about?"

"Eh?" Kamado Tanjiro began to think hard, "If I really want to say it, it should be when I was fighting Mr. Zero-style without sleep..."

"At that time, my body and mind were exhausted to the extreme, my heart beat faster, and my body temperature remained high for several days, just like having a high fever," the teenager recalled while describing, "The body functions have been squeezed to the limit. It was as if a fire was burning in my stomach, and my ears could only hear the sound of my own heartbeat. Then suddenly at a certain moment, my extremely heavy body suddenly became lighter, everything around me seemed to slow down, and my five senses instantly became More sensitive, the nose can pick up more subtle smells than in the past..."

"After that, Mr. Zero stopped fighting and told me that real spots had started to appear on my forehead." After Kamado Tanjiro finished speaking, he asked Unnagi with some puzzlement, "Why would Unnagi want to How about knowing this?"

[Acquired [Clue of Zebra · 2]]

[Currently [Clues of Stripes] collection rate is 60%]

Seeing the prompt, Yunnai was refreshed.That's three-fifths of the collection!At this time, she solemnly said to Kamado Tanjiro: "I want to know more information about Zebra. This may play a big role in the future. If Tanjiro has more news, be sure to tell me .”

"So that's how it is!" Kamado Tanjirou suddenly realized, and immediately nodded seriously, and soon became happy, "It's really great to be able to help Unnagi!"

Next, Unnagi tried to get to the bottom of things like Kamado Tanjiro, Enichiro Shiki, and even Tanzhudou who were present, asking about the details related to the markings, but no matter how hard they dig into their memories, they can only tell a few things. Paradoxically, "Tanjirou's voice is a little different", "At that moment, the king of Motoyama noticed that Gonhachiro seemed to have an explosive momentum, and then he immediately calmed down", "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Humph!" and so on, the system did not increase the collection progress by even 1%...

Seeing that there was no way to dig out more information from these people, Yunnai simply decided to search in the document library of the headquarters of the Ghost Killing Squad. Anyway, she now also has the authority to enter the warehouse of the headquarters.But before that, she still took out a handful of special products bought from Binbian Island from her backpack, such as dried squid, dried mussels, kelp seaweed, shell toys, etc., and gave them to everyone to gain a good impression.

After that, Yunnai headed straight to the document library of the Demon Slayer Squad headquarters with a clear goal, and began to search through a large pile of records on the bookshelf.The Demon Slayer Squad was established as early as the Heian Era shortly after the oni appeared, but the markings only appeared from the time when Ji Guoyuan joined the Demon Slayer Squad.So Unnagi skipped the records of the Heian period and started directly from the records of the Warring States period.

For some reason, the records of the Warring States Period are few and scattered.In connection with the fact that Ji Wuyuan had beaten Gui Wu Tsuji so badly for decades and did not dare to show up, and the situation that the striped swordsman gradually disappeared after Ji Guo Yuan died, it is not difficult to guess that Gui Wu Tsuji is definitely in Ji Guo After Yuanyi's death, he launched a massive retaliation against the Ghost Killing Squad.Perhaps the records of that period were also lost because of this, resulting in only a small part of the content remaining.

But in these contents, Yunnai still found the clues she needed.

In the records of Ji Guoyuan's era, there is a list of the pillars of the ghost killing team and the swordsmen of all levels at that time, and their entry time, retirement or sacrifice time are also recorded one by one.Of course, it also includes the time of markings.

The first person to have stripes appeared was Hizuki Tsukuni Enichi at that time, and his stripes seemed to be born with him.Followed by Yanzhu, Mingzhu, Shuizhu, Fengzhu and so on.Since Ji Guoyuanyi joined the Ghost Killing Team, in just a few months, all the members of that year's Pillars had stripes one after another.

However, almost none of the pillars with stripes was sacrificed on the battlefield, which also means that after awakening the stripes, the strength will indeed be greatly improved.But this is not the end.In the records, except for those who left the Ghost Killing Team due to accidents and did not continue to record, no one lived past the age of 25.All of them died of frail, exhausted bodies in their late twenties.

After looking through it, Yunnai found that she couldn't help but have two conjectures: first, maybe as long as the first person with stripes appears, the qualified people around her will get stripes one after another as if an accelerator is installed; second Second, getting stripes will overdraw your life, and people with stripes will not be able to live beyond the age of 25.

Just after realizing this, the system suddenly exploded a firework in front of Yunnai.

[Acquired [Clue of Zebra · 4]]

[Currently [Clues of Stripes] collection rate is 80%]

[Acquired [Clue of Zebra · 5]]

[Currently [Clues of Stripes] collection rate is 100%]

Afterwards, the system made another ding-ding-dong-dong noise, and a new line of prompts came out.

【You found a way to surpass the limit of LV99.Train hard to become stronger and get stripes! 】

...Damn it, this is it!Yun Nagi was taken aback.So if she wants to continue to strengthen her strength, she must have stripes, but is the person with stripes destined to not live past the age of 25?

At first she thought the stripes were a buff, but looking at it now, it must be a curse!

After hesitating for a while, Yunnai opened the system panel and glanced at his status bar.Looking at it, she immediately found that the clues of Zebra could be checked.Seeing it, she immediately opened it to confirm.

【Clues of stripes】

1. Appearance traits [picture]

2. Phenomena when the stripes are turned on: body temperature ≥ 39°, heart rate ≥ 200 per minute

3. Zebra is the key to breaking through the boundaries of LV99

4. Zebras will spread among eligible people in the form of resonance

5. Zebras belong to the cursed state.Those who get the stripes will die of rapid physical failure at the age of 25

LV99 is a hurdle.If you want to break through the limit and continue to upgrade after reaching LV99, you must enter the stripe state.

Stone Maniac is just 18 years old now, if he dies at 25 with Zebra, then he still has 7 years to break through the mainline.

Because Yunnagi is more stubborn, the time from Sawu Mountain Novice Village to the present killing of the four Kamizuru flowers is not very long, it took about half a year.However, if Oni Wu Tsuji repeats his tragic tricks and hides in the Infinite City like he avoided Ji Guoyuan during the Warring States Period, teleporting around every day but not coming out, then Unnagi may not be able to solve him before the age of 25.

You have to know that this guy hid from Ji Guoyuan back then, but he hid for decades...

For a while, Yunnai was in trouble.But soon, she suddenly slapped the table and had an idea.

If the stripes belong to the negative state, then isn't there a mermaid bone in her backpack that can remove all negative states!With the panacea, she is still afraid of a fart!

Unnagi, who wanted to understand everything, was very excited, and immediately made up her mind to activate the stripes and try to push the level above LV99.

Thinking this way, she just wanted to close the record book in her hand, but she saw some incredible words out of the corner of her eye, she was slightly taken aback, and immediately decided to continue reading.

The record book shows that Ji Guoyuan left home when he was a child, grew up with his childhood sweetheart girl, and the two got married.Unfortunately, his pregnant wife was killed by a ghost, so Ji Guoyuan joined the ghost killing team.

It's just that his elder brother Ji Guoyan Sheng was bewitched by Oni Wu Tsuji Musai not long after he got the stripes. After drinking the blood of the ghost, he became a ghost, and killed the leader of the ghost killing team at that time as a surrender to the ghost king.And Ji Guoyuan was also expelled from the ghost killing team because he failed to kill him in the tragic encounter with Oniwu Tsuji, and was implicated by his twin brother who made a big mistake...

It turned out to be like this.Yun Nagi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the past that Yuan Yi Zero Shiki had mentioned.

No wonder Yuan Yi Zero Style is just a puppet, and Ji Guo Yuan Yi couldn't restrain his desire to confide in him.In fact, at that time, Ji Guoyuan could not predict that the puppet in front of him would gain self-awareness in the future, so he didn't expect Yuanyi Zero to really do what he said.He said those words, probably just to express his inner regret.

Thinking of this, Yunnai sighed.However, just when she was sighing inwardly, a light spot the size of a snowflake suddenly appeared on the page of the book that recorded Ji Guoyuanyi, and after hovering in the air for a while, it suddenly hit her palm.

Huh, what is that?Did she unlock something after reading the records?

Yun Nagi's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly raised her hand to check her palm, only to find that there was nothing there.After opening the status bar, the level and experience value are still unchanged.

Strange, what is going on...

Yun Nagi held the record book in a bit of bewilderment, and checked the page of Ji Guo Yuan again and again several times, but in the end it was fruitless.There was no abnormality in her body, so she had no choice but to put the record book back and put this matter behind her for the time being.

——It’s better to tell Kamado Tanjiro what you found earlier.

***

It was late at night, and Tanjirou Kamado and his party had already returned to their room to rest.However, Yunnagi didn't care about that much, and ran to the door of their resting room with the record book in hand, only to be knocked by Aunt Xue: "Open the door, open the door, open the door, open the door! Tanjiro, Tanjiro, I know you are at home!"

After a commotion, the lights in the room came on.After a while, Zamon Tanjiro opened the door in a daze with his younger sister who had turned into Xiaodouding, and rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Unnagi? What's wrong? It's early morning..."

My wife Shanyi was lying on the bed, moaning half-deadly because her sleep was disturbed.Zuhira Inosuke was still wearing a pig's head when he slept, and was snoring at the moment.But Unnagi was unmoved, walked into the room as soon as he raised his legs, and sat down beside Kamado Tanjiro's bed.Feeling thirsty, she picked up the water bottle on the table, poured a glass of water, and drank it down.

"It's terrible, I have something important to tell you." After swallowing the water in his mouth, Unnagi took a deep breath, and said to Kamado Tanjiro very solemnly.

"Then wait a minute, I'll wake up Inosuke and the others."

Seeing Unnagi's serious expression, Kamado Tanjiro seemed to lose his drowsiness.He hurriedly pulled up my wife Zenyi who had a dead face and the pig who was drooling from sleep, and the group sat in a row, waiting for Yunagi's words.

"Actually, what I want to talk about is related to stripes."

Unnagi opened the record book, and told Kamado Tanjirou and the others the information he had just learned about Zebra.Finally, she said solemnly: "Tanjiro, the spots on your forehead have not yet fully formed. But once they are formed, you will face the same situation as the pillars in the Sengoku period. That is to die at the age of 25. Zenitsu, Inosuke, if the two of you continue to train with Tanjirou, there is a high possibility that you will also develop stripes."

This incident undoubtedly made everyone's hearts sink.For a moment, everyone couldn't help looking at Tanjirou Kamado.Zaomen Nezuko let out a "woo" and raised her hand to hug her brother's arm.

The silence lasted for a long time.Finally, Tanjiro Kamado's eyes trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath.

"Even if it becomes like this, I still have to finish the stripes." He said firmly.

"But Tanjiro——" my wife Zenitsu looked like she was about to cry, "In this case, your life expectancy will be less than ten years..."

"If I can defeat Wu Mi, then my efforts will be meaningful." Tanjiro Kamado said, staring down at his slightly trembling fingers.After a few seconds, he sighed, and in turn comforted the others: "Besides, we are the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad, and we are the ones who risk our lives in any battle. If Zebra can really Let my strength become stronger, it will make sure that the possibility of my death before the age of 25 will be reduced, won't it?"

"That's true...but I still want to continue to be friends with Tanjirou when I get old..."

My wife Shanyi cried and said.Tanjiro Kamado smiled a little reluctantly, and hugged his sister who was next to him tightly.

"In short, we must continue to work hard. We must turn Nezuko back into a human being as soon as possible." Kamado Tanjiro said in a low voice, "Otherwise, my brother will die in ten years, and in a few decades, all All of my friends are dead, and Nezuko, who was excluded from everyone's life journey, must be very lonely."

"..."

The pig's head suddenly let out a rough breath: "Since Quan Hachiro said so, I want Zebra too! Let's get stronger together and kill Wu Mi!"

"No, I still hope that Inosuke can live longer..."

Hearing that a group of people seemed to be parting for life and death, Yunnai finally couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that this is the time for the old lady to make her debut!

Waiting long enough for this scene to have enough drama.Without further ado, she suddenly grabbed a large pile of mermaid bones from her backpack, and laid them out with two "dongdong" sounds, which shocked several people.

"Since this is the case, I'll just say it straight!" Yunnai said confidently, "If you get the stripes and you can't defeat Wu Mi at the age of 25, then the person who got the stripes can still eat the mermaid bone to cancel the stripes. !"

"..."

There was a moment of silence, and everyone's eyes widened, looking at the Stone Killer with a very delicate look!

"What, what's the matter?" Yun Nagi was a little surprised by this reaction and couldn't help asking.

"Why didn't you say it earlier! We thought that the mermaid bone that the master ate was the only one!" My wife Zenitsu trembled violently, "It almost scared us to death—I thought Tanjiro would die at a young age. Dead early, hate-"

Not only is it not the only one, but you can also go to the crocodile to ask for more mermaid bones.Yunagi thought so.And if Mumi Onimai Tsuji can be defeated before everyone turns 25, the government at that time can restart the timeline.At that time, everyone can go back to the original point and start over again. There is no need to use mermaid bones at all, and there is no need to worry about the markings.

Ignoring everyone, Yunnai stuffed the poured mermaid bone back into his backpack.At this time, she also felt tired after working all day, so she pulled the quilt on the bed next to Kamado Tanjiro, got in and lay down.

The little friends who were still squeaking just now fell silent for a moment.Zamon Tanjirou stared blankly at Unnagi lying on the bed with a tired face, and asked after a while, "Unnagi, what are you doing? Is that Zenitsu's bed?"

"... Shanyi, lend me the bed." Yunnai lay on the bed and refused to move, "Isn't there an empty bed over there? You can sleep there."

"Hey, I'm glad Unnagi came to sleep on my bed..." My wife Shanyi blushed and pointed at the little finger, "but can I ask why?"

"Because I have to sleep next to Tanjirou." Unnagi said as a matter of course, "I want to have stripes too. From then on until the stripes appear, I will stay next to Tanjirou."

My wife, Zenitsu, was immediately disappointed, and muttered to herself, "Isn't it because of me? Is it because of Tanjirou?"However, Yunnai glanced at my wife Shanyi who was crying and walking towards the empty bed, and pretended that she didn't know anything.

After making a fuss, everyone finally turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed.In the darkness, Zaomen Nedozi rustled into Yunnai's bed, slipped her little head into her embrace, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

In the darkness, the side face of Tanjiro Kamado was faintly visible on the bed beside him.Even in sleep, the young man tried his best to maintain the breathing method of full concentration, which shows his strong will to kill ghosts.

Unnagi looked at Kamado Tanjirou silently, and then closed his eyes as well.

I hope that the stripes will appear on my body sooner, so I can break through LV99!With such good wishes, a night rabbit gradually fell asleep.
