Victor's words made Shinobu the focus of everyone's attention.
But this was only temporary.
As Ubuyashiki Kagaya spoke again, everyone's eyes fell on Victor once more.
"Shinobu does have the strength now, but if she wants to solve the demon problem and completely eliminate Muzan, strength alone is not enough."
"What do you mean?"
Victor frowned.
"If you want to destroy Muzan, you must find him first."
"But Muzan is good at hiding. We still don't know where he is, and you..."
At this point, Ubuyashiki Kagaya paused for a moment before continuing: "According to what Shinobu told us, you know the future of our world. Perhaps you can help us find Muzan!"
Oh, right!
He had almost forgotten—this guy Muzan was really good at hiding!
Not only was he good at hiding, but he was also as slippery as a loach.
If anything went wrong, that guy would run away!
If Ubuyashiki Kagaya hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about this!
There was nothing he could do about it. After all, he had read the manga a long time ago, and he really couldn't remember some details.
Victor spread his hands, expressing his helplessness: "If you want to find Muzan, even I can't do anything about it."
Although he knew that Muzan often hid in the Infinity Castle, the original manga didn't specify where the Infinity Castle was located, so he naturally had no way of knowing.
If the plot had just begun, or was about to begin, there would be a way to find that guy.
He could definitely find him by going to Asakusa or Kamado Tanjiro's house.
But now it was four years before the story began, and this method obviously wouldn't work.
After these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"But then again, since we can't find that guy, I do have a way to make him show up!"
Victor changed the subject, which gave everyone hope again.
"May I ask what the solution is?"
Ubuyashiki Kagaya showed a rare excited expression.
"As far as I know, Muzan has been searching for a plant called the Blue Spider Lily for thousands of years."
"I heard that flower can help him overcome his fear of sunlight. If I let him know that I have the Blue Spider Lily, I think he will definitely come out to get it from me!"
Given Muzan's suspicious nature, if he knew that Victor had the Blue Spider Lily, he would definitely come over in person instead of asking his subordinates to retrieve it.
Because he would definitely be worried that his useless subordinates would take the Blue Spider Lily for themselves!
"Mr. Victor actually has that kind of magical flower?"
Ubuyashiki Kagaya was very surprised.
As the sworn enemy of Muzan, the Ubuyashiki family naturally knew that the demon had been looking for the Blue Spider Lily.
However, for thousands of years, not only had Muzan failed to find it, but even the Ubuyashiki family had never found it either, so he had always thought that the flower didn't exist at all.
Victor shook his head: "No, I don't have it either."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya: "Uh..."
Everyone: "..."
"But it's one thing that I don't have it, and it's another thing whether Muzan believes me or not." Victor continued: "You just need to spread the news that I have the Blue Spider Lily, and he will definitely come to find me."
Even if he knew it might be fake news, with Muzan's obsession with the Blue Spider Lily, he would definitely come knocking!
"I see."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya nodded: "I will have our hidden operatives spread the news as quickly as possible."
After leaving the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Victor and Shinobu returned to the Butterfly Mansion.
"Mr. Victor is going back?"
Upon learning that Victor was going back, Shinobu felt a little confused.
"Didn't you say you would stay at the Butterfly Mansion for a few days?"
Because they were responsible for luring Muzan, Victor and Shinobu had agreed beforehand that he would stay at the Butterfly Mansion for a few days.
Victor: "I'm just going back to make some preparations. I'll be back soon."
Hearing this, Shinobu nodded and said nothing more.
After crossing through the portal, Victor returned to his small rental house.
Then he went straight to the flower market and found a larger flower shop.
"Ma'am, do you have any Red Spider Lilies for sale?"
Red Spider Lilies were another name for the Lycoris radiata.
Because the name "Red Spider Lily" was somewhat unlucky, many flower shops used euphemistic names.
"Yes, how much do you need?"
When the shop owner saw a customer coming, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Victor thought for a moment and held up five fingers: "Give me five plants. Oh, and use plant pigments to paint the flowers blue for me."
"Uh... okay."
It was the first time she had seen a request to paint red spider lilies blue when buying them.
However, adhering to the principle that customers were always right, the shop owner didn't say much.
Soon, five 'Blue Spider Lilies' fell into Victor's hands.
"Sir, the total is ninety-eight yuan. Would you like to scan the code or pay in cash?"
"Scan the code."
Victor took out his phone and opened the payment app.
After paying the bill, he went straight back home, and then traveled to the Demon Slayer world again.
"Is this the Blue Spider Lily?"
When Shinobu saw the five flowers in Victor's hands, her eyes widened.
Didn't you say you didn't have any?
How did they appear just by going back?
And there were five of them!
One plant could drive Muzan crazy, and five plants might be enough to turn him into a black carp!
"Calm down, these are all fakes—just ordinary Red Spider Lilies painted with a layer of blue paint."
The reason for preparing these counterfeits was to implement the deception plan more effectively.
Anyway, Muzan had never seen what the real Blue Spider Lily looked like.
"I see."
It really took a lot of effort to get Muzan to take the bait.
He had even gone back to get some fake Blue Spider Lilies.
However, what Victor and Shinobu didn't know was that at this very moment, their trash boss was also holding a long-overdue staff meeting in the Infinity Castle.
The first to arrive were the Upper Rank 5.5 (Daki was the 0.5).
Everyone was stunned when they were suddenly summoned to the Infinity Castle.
But as the pressure from their blood connection descended, everyone knelt on one knee involuntarily.
The scumbag boss Muzan had appeared in front of them without them knowing when.
"Upper Rank Two is dead."
As soon as Muzan opened his mouth, Upper Rank 5.5 was greatly shocked.
Doma was dead?
How did he die?
"Lord Muzan, how did Doma die?"
In the end, it was Kokushibo who raised the question.
The other Upper Ranks were very afraid of that scumbag boss, except for Kokushibo.
Muzan said with a cold face: "That idiot committed suicide."
That's right, in the eyes of Muzan, Doma had committed suicide.
After reading the memories following Doma's death, he only saw that Doma was clearly preparing to escape, but in the end, he didn't know if he had suffered a mental breakdown, and had run back to catch the blade with his bare hands!
He could have just caught it and then run away quickly.
But he refused!
He was just kneeling there like an idiot, waiting to be decapitated!
If this wasn't suicide, what was it?
After reading Doma's memories, you couldn't imagine how angry Muzan was.
That was an Upper Rank!
Do you know how much effort it took for him to train an Upper Rank demon?
