Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 715 The Biggest Flaw

To Ichigo and the others' astonishment, the owner of that leg burst straight out of the wall.

The newcomer seemed to have not expected that there would be someone behind the wall. Unable to stop in time, he kicked Renji, who was leaning against the wall, and sent him crashing into the other side of the wall.

"What... Pfft~" Renji was kicked in the middle of his stomach by a flying kick, his eyes bulged out and his mouth was wide open.

"Renji!"

Was it an attacker?

Ichigo glanced at Renji instinctively, but quickly stopped himself and looked up at the newcomer.

The next moment, his eyes widened, his pupils trembled slightly, and he looked at the girl in front of him who was a little dirty and had some blood on her face, but had a determined look in her eyes. His brain instantly went blank.

"Dragon, the dragon is noble?"

Ichigo called out the other person's name almost instinctively, his voice filled with disbelief.

But the next second he covered his mouth and whispered, "Ishida, find a way to lure her out. Right now, she should only be able to see you..."

"What the hell!"

Renji suddenly kicked Ichigo from behind, sending him slamming against the wall. Ichigo then clutched his lower back, looking pained.

"That woman almost kicked me to death, how could I not see you!"

Ichigo lay on the ground, stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the scene when he first discovered Rukia.

So, Long Gui can see himself?

Wait, isn't the script wrong now?

I'm in Grim Reaper form! Ordinary people can't see Grim Reaper!

Ichigo scrambled to his feet, trying to fool the situation with his clumsy acting. "Um... Ryuki, can you see me? No, I mean, what are you doing at the museum so late?"

"Ishida and I just... Oh right! It's because my aunt was very dissatisfied with our summer homework and made us redo it, so Ishida and I came to the museum at this time."

Looking at Ryuki's current state, Ishida Uryu's lips twitched slightly: "Kurosaki, you really are incredibly stupid."

Ichigo flew into a rage upon hearing this: "What the hell are you talking about?!"

"Enough!" Long Gui said calmly, his eyes lowered.

"Huh?" Ichigo was stunned.

Long Gui stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Ichigo, and grabbed his collar, pulling the somewhat flustered face close to his own.

"That's enough, Ichigo!"

The girl's angry roar echoed in the narrow corridor, carrying long-suppressed emotions.

"How long are you going to keep making decisions on your own? There's a limit to how much you'll treat me like a fool!"

"Ryu, Ryuki..." Ichigo was intimidated by Ryuki's aura, his hands raised in mid-air, completely unable to resist.

“That strange outfit, that exaggerated knife, and…” Ryuki’s gaze swept over Renji and Ishida beside him, “and that red-haired uncle over there, and Ishida.”

"Red-haired old man?!" Renji's temples bulged with veins. "I'm not an old man! I'm still a young vice-captain, you know!"

Ryuki looked at Ichigo again, his eyes filled with utmost seriousness: "I saw it all very clearly. Hollows and Shinigami alike, I saw it all."

"So stop trying to push me away with that excuse of 'it's for your own good'."

"It's normal that you can see me," Ishida muttered to himself from the side.

"What? Who's Ryuki?" Soul frantically turned his head from behind Ishida. "What now?"

Looking into Ryuki's determined eyes, Ichigo's words of advice to leave stuck in his throat.

He knows Long Gui too well.

Once she gives that look, it means she will absolutely not turn back.

and……

Ichigo's gaze fell on Ryuki's slightly disheveled monastic robes and the dried bloodstain on his forehead, and his heart tightened suddenly.

"Long Gui, have you been attacked?"

Long Gui subconsciously touched his forehead and nodded slightly: "Yeah, I ran into a Xu on the way here."

"Fortunately, that guy wasn't very strong, so we could barely handle him."

Renji and Ishida narrowed their eyes slightly.

Ichigo opened his mouth, about to say something, but Renji and Ishida pulled him back two steps from either side.

Long Gui looked at their actions with a puzzled expression.

Ichigo was also completely confused: "Hey? What are you doing?"

"Think about it calmly. Even if Ryuki can see us, can an ordinary person really defeat a Hollow?" Ishida's expression was grave. "Do you remember the hallucinations we encountered before?"

Ichigo's pupils contracted slightly: "You mean, this guy is an imposter?"

Renji's expression was serious: "Of course, even for Shinigami stationed in the human world, dealing with Hollows is not an easy task."

"Many people have been killed by the virus, let alone an ordinary person."

"Even if one is born with powerful spiritual energy, it is impossible to transform it into real power without a dedicated guide."

Ishida adjusted his glasses. "The most important point, don't you find it strange?"

"She actually managed to find the real path through the wall... no, that should be the real path."

Renji added, "And don't forget, there's this guy who can transform into other people."

Upon hearing Renji and Ishida's analysis, Ichigo's mind was immediately filled with the various illusions he had seen in the labyrinth.

Indeed, how could Ryuki possibly possess the power to fight a Hollow, let alone find the true path?

If even the three of them are stuck here, how could Long Gui be completely unaffected?

“I see…” Ichigo’s eyes instantly turned cold, and he got into a fighting stance. “I almost got fooled by you.”

Do you know where your weakness lies?

Before Ryuki could respond, Ichigo confidently pointed a finger at Ryuki.

"Your biggest weakness is that you shouldn't have transformed into Long Gui's appearance! Long Gui could never be here, much less possess such power!"

"..." Ryuki was silent for a moment: "Didn't Ishida and this guy already talk about it?"

Ichigo interrupted her: "Enough, you imposter! Give Inoue and Chad back to me right now!"

Long Gui raised his head: "May I ask a question?"

"Ok?"

"Why can't I be here?"

Ichigo picked his nose: "Are you kidding me? How could a gorilla like Ryuki possibly appear in a museum?"

He pointed his finger, which had been used to pick his nose, at Long Gui.

"Show yourself! Imposter!"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Uryu Ishida pushed up his glasses and silently took two steps to the side, trying to distance himself from this idiot.

It's a very simple thing, but you have to act like an idiot.

Renji Abarai also thought it made sense, but seeing Tatsuki's increasingly gloomy face and the bulging veins on his forehead, his survival instinct as a man made him subconsciously shut his mouth.

What's going on? Something feels off.

"Gorilla?"

Long Gui lowered his head, his bangs covering his eyes, and his voice was so deep it seemed to come from the depths of hell.

"What? You've been exposed, so you have nothing to say?" Ichigo hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation, and had an expression that said, "I've already seen through you."

"I did come here with Orihime!"

With a roar, Ryuki reached into the bag on his back, untied it, and held a snow-white samurai sword in his hand. With the sword still in its sheath, he swung it like a baseball bat at Ichigo's cheek.

"You..." Long Gui suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with the anger of someone looking at an idiot, "You're a complete moron!!!"

Renji's eyes widened: "A Zanpakuto?"

Ishida noticed her movement, his eyes narrowing: "No, that knife is..."

"what?"

Ichigo's expression changed, and he quickly took half a step back. The scabbard grazed his cheek, and the blow slammed into the wall next to him, causing the wall to collapse with a roar and a cloud of dust.

Ichigo's expression turned horrified: "You're going to die! You bastard!"

He suddenly stopped. "You, you really are Long Gui?"

Long Gui retorted irritably, "Nonsense!"

Renji blinked, looking confused: "Why are you so sure after just one hit?"

Ichigo: I guess it's... that damned teamwork.

Ishida Uryu pointed to the knife in her hand: "Arisawa-kun, that knife is... Yuko-sensei's bone, right?"

"Bone?" Long Gui was stunned. "Is this really bone? Made of bone?"

“I see, you and Auntie…” Ichigo said with an expression of understanding. “If that knife was given to you by Auntie, then it must be true.”

“The blade must have been specially treated; it’s hard to sense any aura on it. But judging from its appearance, it looks very similar to the bone knife that Master used.” Ishida frowned slightly. “If it’s Master, then Tatsuki’s situation can also be explained.”

At the start of the new semester, Long Gui did indeed often carry a wooden sword bag on his back, but he didn't sense any spiritual energy in it, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

Looking back now, it seems that it was probably Ms. Yuko who taught Ryuki.

Although I couldn't sense any aura from that knife, its appearance did indeed resemble the knife the teacher had used.

Long Gui nodded slightly: "That's right, this Snow Fang was given to me by my teacher."

"Xueya?"

"The name of the knife."

Ichigo said dejectedly, "Your aunt asked you to come, you should have said so earlier!"

Long Gui's eyelids twitched, and he was about to explain when he heard Ichigo ask another question.

"By the way, Long Gui, where is Auntie?"

Long Gui frowned: "I don't know."

Ichigo quickly pressed, "How could you not know? Your aunt must have sent you, right?"

"No, I followed you after I saw you go into the museum."

Ichigo: "Damn it, where did Auntie go?"

Ishida was taken aback when he heard this, and only followed us after we entered the museum.

"Yuzawa-kun, are you with Xu..."

Ishida Uryu was speaking when the girl's voice came over the museum's loudspeaker again.

"Moshi Moshi, can you hear me?"

The three men's expressions instantly turned serious.

Seeing the three men's expressions change instantly, Long Gui asked in a low voice, "Whose voice is that?"

The three of them remained silent.

The girl's voice continued to come over the radio.

"Huh? How did the wall get damaged? Did the older boys break the rules?"

Before Ichigo and the others could speak, the girl's voice rang out again.

"Oh no! The older brothers not only damaged the wall, but they also brought in reinforcements. This is against the rules!"

"Since you're not following the rules, then accept the punishment game!"

As Lilyne finished speaking, the entire museum suddenly shook violently.

"Hey! What is it now?!" Renji steadied himself and looked around warily.

The dimly lit corridor suddenly turned a glaring scarlet red, and then, without anyone noticing, rows of display cases appeared all around.

The display cases contain ancient armor, dinosaur fossils, and wax figures.

Wow!

The sound of countless panes of glass shattering rang out simultaneously.

The previously static exhibits suddenly came to life.

Their eyes flashed red, and their joints made a sickening grinding sound as they surged toward the four like zombies.

"Are you kidding me! Night at the Museum?!" Ichigo couldn't help but retort, instinctively reaching for his sword, only to find it empty.

Long Gui tightened his grip on Xueya: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

She could hear clearly that the person broadcasting the outside help and the person who was breaking down the wall was her.

“Now is not the time to dwell on this,” Ishida Uryu analyzed. “These things are probably just illusions.”

"Should? Can't you be sure?"

"No gambling."

Renji said unhappily, "Tsk, then smash them all."

With a loud shout, he charged forward, fists waving.

Ichigo retorted, "If we get caught, we're doomed!"

Renji retorted, "Idiot, what are you afraid of? The security cameras can't see either of us."

"That's right! Watch me!"

Ichigo realized what was happening and caught up with Renji.

Only Ishida and Ryuki remained standing there, bewildered in the wind.

They are flesh and blood!

Just kidding, even if I squander all my savings now, I can't back out!

Ichigo smashed the head of a wax figure with a spinning kick, then turned to Ryuki, "Ryuki! Step back, leave this to us!"

"Don't look down on me, Ichigo!"

Long Gui took a deep breath, and the cold air instantly filled his lungs. That calm feeling that seemed to freeze away all distracting thoughts surged into his heart once again.

I can hardly feel the pain in my body anymore, and my strength is gradually returning.

"call……"

Long Gui exhaled a puff of white mist, and the world in his eyes became clear again.

That was the flow of spiritual energy.

Although the flow of spiritual energy in her eyes was still blurry compared to a true Grim Reaper, it was enough for these stiff puppets.

Long Gui was not a master swordsman; her moves were more based on karate footwork and power techniques. However, with Yu Zi's guidance and the support of this bone knife, dealing with these puppets was not a problem.

The white bone knife, carrying a faint chill, pierced through a dinosaur fossil in an instant.

Click!

The massive fossilized dinosaur instantly disintegrated and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Wow..." Renji raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You've got some skills."

Ichigo was also taken aback for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on his lips: "What? So you've become this strong too."

"Stop talking nonsense! Follow me!" Long Gui pointed Xueya to the end of the corridor. "I can feel the air moving over there. The exit is over there. Let's go in! The enemy is definitely still inside!"
