Chapter 2 Demon Slayer, Don't See You for the First Time
The gate of the Demon Slayer Division.
Jiang Nan got off the car.
No identification is required, no one in Kyoto doesn't know him.
Not just because of his identity,
Other than that, he's so handsome.
Her facial features are so natural that she is so handsome that it gives people an unreal feeling.
The girls waiting in the boudoir all looked fascinated when they saw Jiang Nan.
And those beautiful young women who are already married have their eyes shining brightly, and they are eager to commit themselves to each other, even if they are willing to do so.
It can be said that apart from his status as the prince, handsomeness is his greatest advantage.
Coupled with this gentle and elegant temperament, almost everyone in Kyoto recognizes you.
Standing at the door was a middle-aged man wearing a Demon Slayer uniform and a beard.
He has a resolute face, and there is an obvious scar on his forehead, which makes this face even more serious and majestic.
Before he could speak, an awe-inspiring aura hit his face.
Seeing Jiang Nan getting out of the car and arriving, the middle-aged man was slightly distracted when he saw this handsome and outrageous son of the Jiang family. Then he clasped his fists and said, "Shi Wenhao, the head of the Yellow Department, welcomes His Highness..."
The head of the Yellow Department of the Demon Slayer Division did not look down upon him because he was the demoted prince, and still followed the previous standards.
It doesn't matter if the demon saint is let go, she is just demoted.
Even he himself doesn't believe it if the emperor is not worried about the Jiang family's strength.
Besides, the person in front of me is no ordinary person.
His father is Prince Yong, and his grandfather is the General of Zhenbei. His status is transcendent, far superior to ordinary nobles, and even some princes are inferior to him.
Moreover, the incident of releasing the Holy Maiden from the Demon Realm is quite strange, and the authorities are still trying their best to investigate...
Of course, these have nothing to do with him.
The matter involved was not trivial, and it was not something that he, the head of the Huang Department of the Demon Slaying Department, could deal with.
All he had to do was to take this man in according to the rules.
"Master Shi, you're welcome. I'm no longer the Crown Prince, so I don't need to call you Your Highness anymore.
Besides, I am a torturer now and should be your subordinate, so just call me by my name."
Jiang Nan looked at the middle-aged man in uniform in front of him, felt the strong bloody aura on his body, endured the discomfort, and said with a smile.
Shi Wenhao is a master who has been dealing with demons all year round. His body is naturally stained with the smell of blood, and he also has a frightening evil spirit.
Even if I try hard to cover it up, I can't cover it up.
This is also because Jiang Nan's strength is too low.
Sixteen years old, just in the physical training state.
But the tempering of bones and fascia has also been completed, and the blood refining stage has entered.
As long as the blood refining is completed, you can enter the realm of Tongmai.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the crown prince of Prince Yong. His calm and calm demeanor is beyond the reach of ordinary people... Shi Wenhao secretly praised him in his heart.
"Well, that's fine... well, let's call you Mr. Jiang. What do you think?"
Shi Wenhao thought for a while and said.
"Can."
Jiang Nan nodded, "Also, don't use your honorific title again."
"Okay." Shi Wenhao nodded.
Since this man proposed it himself, he can just do it.
You must know that this man is still waiting for sin.
In this way, it also saves some trouble and avoids being talked about.
"Young Master Jiang, please come with me."
Shi Wenhao immediately turned around and led Jiang Nan into the Demon Slaying Department.
"You guys go back."
Jiang Nan turned to Li Ze and Zhou Qing and said.
This is the Demon Slayer Division, but not everyone can come in.
"Yes, Master. We will pick you up in the evening."
Li Ze said.
Jiang Nan nodded, then followed Shi Wenhao and walked in.
Li Ze and Zhou Qing watched Jiang Nan walk in, then turned back.
…
Putting on a torturer's uniform and hanging a waist tag, Jiang Nan became a demon-slaying torturer, affiliated with the Yellow Department.
Shi Wenhao started tapping his fingers while arranging people to enter the dungeon to work.
"Ding San, B number fifteen."
"Liu Qiao, number seven, number B."
"..."
"Lu Quan, No. 1 C."
"Han Er, number A, number six."
"Jiang Nan, number thirteen."
The monsters imprisoned in dungeons A, B, C and D are slightly different, with A being the strongest and T being the weakest.
Although they are all first-level monsters, at least equivalent to the human Kaiyuan realm, their strength also varies.
The stronger the strength, the stronger the evil spirit.
Killing them will cause them to be eroded by their powerful evil spirits, which over time will shorten people's life span drastically.
Jiang Nan is D-13, ranked last, and the monsters imprisoned are the weakest, which means that he is relatively the safest here.
Shi Wenhao placed Jiang Nan in the "T" position, obviously to take care of him.
Jiang Nan knew this, and so did the other torturers. Although it was uncomfortable, no one dared to say it.
Entering the Demon Slayer Division is equivalent to selling yourself, you will always be a member of the Demon Slayer Division.
From the moment they enter the Demon Slayer Division and become torturers, the lives of these people no longer belong to them, but only to the Demon Slayer Division.
The Demon Slayer Division is a special agency of the Ming Dynasty, directly under the emperor.
Unless they advance further in strength and enter the Tongmai realm before they die, they will be qualified to take the examination as a trainee demon hunter.
Otherwise, you will only be a torturer for the rest of your life and will never be able to leave the dungeon.
Shi Wenhao personally took Jiang Nan to the underground dungeon.
Under the dungeon, you are faced with a cold and evil atmosphere.
The deeper you go, the thicker the evil spirit and the colder it gets, and Jiang Nan feels that his muscles are a little stiff.
It was the beginning of summer outside at this time, but I still couldn't feel the slightest bit of temperature here, as if it was winter.
Jiang Nan felt awe-struck in her heart.
This is only the first level, what about the second and third levels?
It is conceivable that the evil spirit will become more intense.
After personal experience, Jiang Nan has a clearer definition of the living environment of torturers.
The torturer is responsible for killing monsters in the dungeon.
He looks like a member of the Demon Slayer Division, but he is the lowest and most humble position in the Demon Slayer Division.
Apart from some freedom, the living environment is no better than that of prisoners.
Only by becoming a demon hunter can one be qualified to leave this cold dungeon.
Above the torturers are the trainee demon hunters.
There are also Level 1 Demon Hunters, Level 2 Demon Hunters, and more powerful Level 3 Demon Hunters and Level 4 Demon Hunters.
To become a trainee demon hunter, you need to have at least a level of cultivation in the Tongmai realm.
The first-level demon hunter requires a minimum cultivation level of Kaiyuan Realm.
Level 2 Demon Envoy must be a strong person in the Shenzang Realm.
Shi Wenhao is a strong man in the Divine Treasure Realm, and he is also at the peak of the Divine Treasure Realm.
But these have nothing to do with Jiang Nan for the time being.
He is the torturer appointed by the emperor. Whether he can be "returned" to become a demon hunter in the future depends on the emperor's mood.
If he is in a bad mood, he will most likely have to stay in this dungeon for a long time, keeping company with bloody demons all day long.
Of course, this "long period of time" is not yet easy to define.
Maybe half a year, maybe a year.
Maybe five years, ten years.
Even for a lifetime.
No one can be sure.
Everything depends on the emperor.
As for whether he can survive in this dungeon for more than half a year, that is another matter.
"You have read the manual. Your task today is to kill the three monsters here.
Remember, don’t enter the inner room, the monster inside is not something you can stop with your current spirit.”
Shi Wenhao warned: "During this period, no matter what you see or hear, don't take it seriously."
As the person in charge, he was able to personally guide Jiang Nan in the dungeon, and he had done his utmost to be benevolent and righteous.
Next, how far Jiang Nan can achieve is his own business.
He is not anyone's nanny. As the head of the pornographic department, he has many more important things to do.
"Thank you, sir."
Jiang Nan cupped his fists.
Shi Wenhao nodded, then turned and left.
Although the dungeon was cold, it was not dark. There were oil lamps burning on the walls.
It is said that the lamp oil in these oil lamps is the oil of monsters and is very resistant to burning.
And there is no smoke.
Jiang Nan looked around.
Various butcher knives hang on the walls.
It's like a slaughterhouse here.
He needs to sort the killed meat, internal organs, bones, fur, etc. into categories and put them into various areas.
The first thing to be slaughtered was a donkey.
Different from ordinary donkeys.
This donkey has scales on its body, a mouth full of fangs, and its eyes are red and bloodthirsty.
If it hadn't been locked by the chain and its power restrained, it might have swallowed Jiang Nan in the first bite.
This is not the first time Jiang Nan has seen a monster.
The memory of my predecessor had the appearance of a monster. Although it was not a donkey, I had finally seen a monster.
But for Jiang Nan, who had traveled through time, this was definitely an unprecedented first time.
Shock, curiosity, fear, excitement, all kinds of emotions.
However, Jiang Nan did not forget what he was here for.
His job is to slaughter and kill monsters.
Not just kill it, but break it down.
All the materials on the demon are treasures.
Blood and internal organs can be used as medicine, meat can be eaten, teeth and bones can be used to refine weapons, fur can not only be used to make clothes, but can also be used as medicine, and used in some talismans, and scales can be made into armor.
In fact, the dungeon is actually a slaughtering and decomposition processing plant.
Not only can the Demon Slayer Division be self-sufficient in resources, but it can also sell some.
The precious meat on the tables of the Kyoto royal family and some noble families, as well as some medicinal liquids and elixirs, come from here.
Jiang Nan pulled the hanging donkey demon to the slaughter area.
Suddenly, a strong demonic aura hit his face.
Makes you feel chilly.
But as soon as the runes engraved on the black iron chain flashed, the evil spirit on the donkey demon was suppressed.
Jiang Nan took out a sharp knife from the wall.
Killing a demon is like killing a chicken, you must first bleed it.
The difference is that to kill a chicken, you only need to cut the neck, but to kill a monster, you need to stab the heart.
This not only kills the demon, but also allows the blood to flow out quickly.
The blood of monsters is also a treasure.
Jiang Nan looked at the donkey demon and took a look at the donkey whip under the donkey demon's crotch...well, it's quite long.
This thing is very valuable, and the princes and nobles in the imperial city are always keen on this kind of thing.
In the gilded building, it was stewed or boiled, or sliced and stir-fried over high heat with other side dishes. The adults were all in high spirits after eating, and then went to the Jiaofangsi to find the courtesans to show off their talents.
He retracted his gaze and made some gestures on the donkey demon's chest, trying to find the donkey demon's heart.
The first time he used the knife, he didn't know where the donkey demon's heart was.
The donkey demon was tied up and his mouth was also tied up. Seeing Jiang Nan take out the sharp knife, his eyes widened with fear and resentment.
Yes, didn't you just eat a dozen people? You people can eat us, and we can also eat people...
"Woooooooo..."
The donkey demon struggled desperately, but to no avail, the chains were tied tightly.
Jiang Nan glanced at it.
Unexpectedly, the donkey demon's eyes blinked, Jiang Nan's eyes blurred, and the donkey demon in front of him disappeared.
What appeared in front of him was a tied young woman.
Her long hair is hanging down, her red lips are flaming, her eyes are charming, and her long eyelashes are fluttering up and down.
She has a slender waist and plump hips, and her chest is tightened by a rope, so bulging that it seems like it's about to explode.
All of this seduce the primitive impulses in people's hearts.
Jiang Nan was stunned.
Shi Wenhao's words suddenly came to his mind: "During this period, no matter what you see or hear, don't take it seriously."
And when he thought of the black donkey whip he had just seen, his face suddenly darkened.
This damn donkey monster!
As soon as the thought came to my mind, all the illusions in front of me disappeared, and it was still the ugly donkey monster that was tied up and struggling.
After all, the donkey demon's moral behavior is still too poor to truly confuse Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan didn't care either, holding a sharp knife and gesturing at the donkey demon's chest.
This was a first for both him and his predecessor.
I never even killed a chicken in my previous life, but now I have to kill such a big guy. It’s impossible to say that I don’t feel a little bit panicked.
But no matter how panicked or resisted, he would still be killed.
The moment the emperor asked him to become a dungeon torturer, he could not control the scene before him.
kill!
As soon as Jiang Nan closed her eyes, the sharp knife stabbed in.
puff!
The sword specially made by the Demon Slayer Division is extremely sharp.
Moreover, the power of the body-forging realm is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Although the donkey demon's skin covered with fine scales was extremely hard, it penetrated without any hindrance.
"Woooo..."
The donkey demon stared and moved wildly.
Jiang Nan opened his eyes, but saw that the position where the sharp knife penetrated seemed to be wrong.
Although the blood was flowing, it didn't look like it was splattering. It was obviously a missed stab, and the knife did not penetrate the heart at all.
Jiang Nan blinked, turned the sharp knife in his hand, pulled it out and stabbed it a few more times.
He is looking for the location of his heart.
The donkey demon grimaced in pain, but his mouth was tied up, so he had no choice but to "whimper" and twist his body desperately.
The chains rattled and the runes flashed.
Jiang Nan frowned.
Obviously the sharp knife is very long, enough to pierce the heart.
But even after poking it several times, it didn't work.
Did something go wrong?
I was thinking in my mind, but my men didn't stop and kept poking.
Pull it out, poke it in, pull it out, poke it in...
He was stabbed more than a dozen times, with many holes in his muscles and lungs, and some places were damaged.
The donkey demon was so painful that his face was deformed.
It has already scolded Jiang Nan's eighteen generations of ancestors several times in its heart.
As Jiang Nan stabbed and dug into its body again with a sharp knife, searching for its heart, the donkey demon's dark face became pale and distorted.
If it was still thinking about living before, now it just wants to die.
It's so tortured.
Now it just wants Jiang Nan to be stabbed in the heart.
"A little further, a little further, on the left... oh, it's on the right... oh, do you really know how to poke it - damn it! It's off again!"
The donkey demon's eyes were filled with fear and anger.
I wanted to bite my tongue and kill myself, but its donkey mouth was tightly trapped, and it couldn't move at all. It could only stare and roar "wuwuwu".
Jiang Nan discovered that the position of the donkey demon's heart was actually different from what he imagined.
So much so that I stabbed him more than a dozen times in a panic and still couldn't find it.
Instead, he made the donkey demon feel worse than death.
"Ah, Brother Donkey, I'm sorry, it's my first time, please don't show me outside."
Jiang Nan said a little embarrassed.
But at the same time, he was secretly a little strange. It was his first time to kill a demon... and he was not afraid.
It seems... that's all.
Am I born to kill monsters? The emperor just happened to see it, so he sent me to the dungeon of the Demon Slayer Division?
Just as he was thinking about it, the sharp knife in his hand moved downwards an inch and stabbed in.
puff!
Blood splattered.
"Oh, it finally hit me!"
The donkey demon's body stiffened, his vitality disappeared sharply, and his face turned pale.
But it breathed a sigh of relief.
The originally fierce and angry eyes finally showed a look of relief, and the body gradually became soft from stiffness.
At this time, Jiang Nan was also stunned.
The moment the sharp knife pierced the donkey demon's heart, a breath entered his body, and then his eyes blurred and he entered a space.
