Public Executions Start From King Arthur 72

Title: Crumbs of the World

Hokkaido, a seaside village.

As the representative region of Japan with a vast area and sparse population, the whole of Hokkaido only has a few million inhabitants, most of whom are concentrated in the Sapporo City area, forming a metropolitan area around it.

Therefore, Muzan, who had just become a Demon, resolutely chose to stay away from it and didn’t dare to be in a crowded area.

Because, after recovering from a serious illness and gaining a stronger body than before, Muzan craved a new life, and this fondness turned into a strong desire to survive.

This is so intense that he has to survive by any means.

Simply put, he is extremely afraid of death. He is very afraid that staying in the city will make him feel unsafe.

After all, despite having strong vitality and a strong body, humans are as fragile as ants that can be easily crushed to death.

However, Muzan knows very well what power humans have. As a modern human, he is very aware of the terror of modern thermal weapons.

If it were ancient times, Muzan could still live a very arrogant life without fear of humans, but in modern times, if he doesn’t have his own powerful weapons, even if he becomes a Demon, he still has to die.

Even though his body is so strong that it can be restored even if it’s torn apart or turned into thousands of pieces, he can still be killed.

Because he has a very obvious weakness, and it’s also something that all mysterious creatures fear – the sun!

Sunlight has the property of restraining Demons. He will even be burned to death if he is exposed to sunlight.

This was known to Muzan since he transformed into a Demon, because the great being who gave him a new life and turned him into a ‘Demon’ had told him this information.

With such a clear weakness, Muzan must of course be cautious and careful.

Therefore, he ran away with a bucket all night, far south, and ran to a small mountain village.

Naturally, he also saw the light screen in the sky.

To be honest, Muzan was a little scared, but not too scared.

After all, although the existence in the light screen is very powerful, it’s still difficult to completely kill him with the power he has shown so far, as long as he runs fast enough when facing that existence, no one can kill him.

If it’s just a desire to survive, Muzan said that he is the strongest.

What’s more, the light screen so far has only been a light screen. It’s reasonable that there are no transcendent beings in humans – after all, officials haven’t officially announced the existence of Artoria, and the two-day press conference will be officially announced.

Relying on his superior physical fitness as a Demon and without relying on modern equipment, Muzan ran more than a hundred kilometers in a short time and arrived at a village near the sea.

There are actually quite a few villages like this in Hokkaido, because the area is vast and the population is sparse. Most of the population is concentrated in Sapporo City, and the rest are small towns and villages.

In fact, there are many rural and mountainous villages in Hokkaido, many of which are isolated from the world. For Muzan, these places are the most suitable for him to go to, where he can grow and build his ethnic group and subordinates.

Muzan also wants to turn other humans into Demons.

First, to build his own strength so that he can have a sense of security and serve him. Second, when facing danger, he can also use his subordinates as bait so that he can escape.

Muzan has decided that he should not stay in one place for a long time, because the risk of exposure will be very high. He has to be careful. For him, chaotic places like Africa and South America are his ideal places.

However, he felt pressured and realized that he couldn’t leave because his ‘Master’ was somewhere in Japan. He is the ‘higher being’ created by the ‘master’ and has to obey and serve the ‘master’.

The ‘master’ didn’t arrange any specific tasks for him, letting him move freely and cause trouble, but he has to stay in Japan.

As long as he is in Japan, he can do whatever he wants.

Muzan had no choice but to commit crimes in rural areas far from the city.

So, he targeted a family of four.

They are a thirty-eight-year-old fisherman, his wife, his sixteen-year-old daughter, and his thirteen-year-old son.

The hungry Muzan attacked this family shortly after the light screen ended. He immediately broke the man’s arms and legs, pulled out his jaw, making him unable to speak, and then ate him in front of the other party’s wife.

At that time, the man was filled with despair, pain and anger, causing him to twist and writhe on the ground. Even if his arms and legs were removed, even though it was very painful, he was still writhing, staring at Muzan with a pair of eyes full of hatred.

Facing such a gaze, the full Muzan narrowed his eyes, then threw away his uneaten hand, looked at the man, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: “Good performance, full of love for me. I understand, you love your wife very much, right? You love this family very much, so you are full of negative emotions for destroying your home.”

Having just become a Demon, Muzan is still able to understand human emotions, and he has been full of negative emotions towards the world recently, so he can understand the man’s mood.

“So, I will give you a chance! Let you become a higher being like me! When you become a ‘Demon’ like me, you will understand that humans – even your blood relatives are just your food.”

When the man heard this, his eyes full of hatred and anger turned into fear, and he struggled even harder, because he had understood what Muzan meant. This man is like the legendary figure of a demon, a ‘Demon’!

Demons have a unique status in Japanese culture. Unlike the so-called Demons in China, Demons in Japan are more like monsters between demons and monsters in China.

There are legends of Demons all over Japan, but it’s just feudal superstition, but he didn’t expect it to appear directly today, and suddenly attack his home, and even want to turn him into a Demon.

What’s even more terrifying is that this monster also wants him to eat his own children.

Demon!

This is really a demon!

The man was terrified, desperate, and sad, even wanting to commit suicide immediately so as not to become a Demon and hurt his children.

However, with his arms and legs broken and his jaw removed, he could do nothing but watch Muzan walk towards him.

Muzan immediately squatted down, holding the man’s head with his left hand, then scratched his index finger with his thumb with his right hand, then cut the finger with his long, sharp nails.

Blood then dripped down and fell into the man’s mouth.

The Blood of the Demon Ancestor was immediately activated. As it entered the human body, the blood began to transform the human body in a very rough way.

His muscles bulged, his blood vessels swelled, and his blood flowed faster.

The man’s wounds also slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye during this transformation, and the removed chin also gradually recovered, which made Muzan watch with great interest.

After all, this is the first Demon and the first ethnic group he created. It has great commemorative significance and research value for him.

“AAHHHHH~”

The man finally regained the ability to speak, but all he uttered was a painful, crazy and meaningless scream, and his body began to expand very irregularly, and some blood vessels even burst, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Muzan frowned when he saw this, and muttered in a low voice: “So, not everyone can withstand my blood transformation, so if the body is not strong enough, it won’t be able to withstand the transformation. No, it shouldn’t be just the body, there’s also a lot of mental pain to endure, so do you have to be able to withstand the pain to complete the ‘upgrade’?”

“Right, I am a higher being created by a god. If anyone can accept this great gift, then the favor of the ‘Lord’ is meaningless.”

Then Muzan smiled again, because the man was able to withstand the transformation. As a fisherman, he must have a strong body, so this thirty-eight-year-old man was able to withstand it.

Finally, the unstable expansion quickly recovered, his body began to shrink, and the man gradually returned to his stable human form.

It’s just that the man who was only 1.7 meters tall suddenly grew to two meters tall, his muscles bulged, his skin turned slightly white, and horns grew on his forehead, his eyes turned pink, and his pupils were black and red.

His teeth and nails became sharp and long, and his image was ferocious and terrifying, very similar to the “Demon” in the traditional Japanese sense.

After the man completely transformed, he seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy. He lay on the ground gasping for breath, and his body also emitted a slightly foul odor.

Muzan frowned when he saw this: “How can it be so ugly? So it is, the second-generation Demons I transformed are always inferior products, and there is no way to compare them to me. Only I am special, because I am the only perfect work created by the great ‘Master’, so I am the Demon Ancestor.”

“Father? Mother? What happened to you…?”

At this time, a woman’s confused voice sounded. At the open door of the room, a girl in pajamas covered her mouth and stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes.

This is the reaction to extreme fear.

“Onee-chan, what’s wrong? Huh?”

Another voice sounded, this time belonging to a young man, also wearing pajamas, and also looking confused as he came.

It turned out that the two siblings had just fallen asleep and woke up after hearing their father’s screams as he turned into a demon. Then they immediately put on their clothes and came to check the situation.

Blood splattered everywhere in the room, the remains of their mother were thrown to the ground, and the sight of their father transformed into a Demon had scattered the minds of the two siblings.

The two children, who had never seen the world, were completely controlled by shock and fear at this time, and lost control of their bodies in a short time.

Watching this, Muzan smiled and looked at the man who had just transformed into a Demon. After the latter saw his children, he was stunned for a moment, then his saliva began to flow uncontrollably, his eyes widened, and his throat dried up, his stomach also began to tremble.

This is hunger, this is the desire to eat!

Demon instinct.

Seeing this, Muzan was very satisfied: “Okay, go ahead! Eat, and your own blood relatives will be your first food to become a Demon. Is there anything better than this?”

“Go! No need to suppress your nature, you have become a Demon, a higher species than humans, so eat as much as you like!”

The man’s body trembled, and two lines of tears fell from his wide eyes. However, his legs moved uncontrollably and he walked towards the two children.

Soon after, screams sounded, and screams of horror also emerged, followed by the sound of chewing meat and blood.

Muzan watched the whole process, his eyes remained happy and he maintained a research posture.

“So it is. Although I deliberately controlled this person’s mind during the transformation process and asked him to try to forget what happened before he became a Demon, the remaining will of a father is still there, and unconsciously he wants to refuse to take action against his children.”

“However, that Demon instinct cannot be defeated, and with the blessing of my order, he cannot violate my order, so he finally ‘eats’. In other words, if I wasn’t here, he still has a very small chance of not obeying my order. Is it possible to resist this ‘instinct’ and not attack his own blood relatives?”

“Tsk, it seems that in the future, transformation needs to strengthen the ideological control of the ethnic group. Well, it’s best to add a prohibition that prevents them from revealing my identity.”

With this muttering, Muzan further perfected his plan to develop his Demon tribe.

At the same time, the man also ate his two children with tears streaming down his face. Although his subconscious mind resisted, and his sadness could not be suppressed, his Demon instinct and Muzuji’s order could not be suppressed. Unable to disobey, he finally ate what he cherished most.

Nothing was left, even the last bone was eaten.

All that remained at the scene was bloodstains and debris.

This once happy family was completely destroyed.

At the same time, all the man’s memories of when he was still human disappeared. From now on, a fisherman who loved his family disappeared and was replaced by a man-eating Demon!

After that, Muzan left with his first demon subordinate who shed blood and tears. He thought that no one knew about his actions, and he thought that he could not be traced, so he was still very calm.

However, what the Demon King didn’t know was that eyes of a higher level had noticed this and were angered by his behavior.

Therefore, that being decided to use fantasy power to shape Muzan’s greatest nightmare.
