Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 137 Seizing Control of the Miserable Demon

In a lush bamboo forest, Li Lei stopped, dragging a demon with a mouthful of fangs, and prepared to begin his demonization experiment on the ground covered with bamboo leaves.

As is well known, the Demon King Muzan has absolute control over the life and death of the demons he creates, and can decide their life or death with a single thought.

The power of his control is so great that even the strongest of the Twelve Demon Moons cannot escape it, except for those demons who have broken free of his control. Demons who have broken free of his control are no longer under Muzan's control.

What Li Lei needs to do next is to conduct an experiment, which involves using his own parasitic flesh and blood to re-demonize the demons created by Muzan, so that they can break free from Muzan's control and become his subordinates.

Originally, Li Lei wanted to use Xiao Hei for experimental modification, but when he thought that he had never conducted such an experiment before, directly using Xiao Hei for a second ghost transformation experiment might harm it, and in severe cases, it might even kill Xiao Hei.

Li Lei didn't want his impulsive decision to cause Xiao Hei to be injured or even die. After all, Xiao Hei had been with him for many years, and even if it hadn't done anything particularly meritorious, it had certainly put in a lot of hard work. Li Lei couldn't let a whim experiment alienate his subordinate.

Therefore, Li Lei captured a demon and brought Xiao Hei and Xiao Wu to this bamboo forest to conduct a second demonization experiment. He wanted to see how the second demonization experiment went first. If it was successful, it wouldn't be too late to demonize Xiao Hei a second time.

Looking at the evil spirit in his hand that hadn't eaten many people, Li Lei felt it was the perfect tool for a second demonization experiment.

In fact, those who are weak and have little resistance are the best experimental subjects.

"Little Black, do you think Master's experiment will succeed?" Little Crow asked Little Black, whose hands and feet were tied beside him.

"Don't succeed, don't succeed, don't succeed, absolutely don't succeed..."

When asked, Xiao Hei didn't answer Xiao Wu's question. Instead, he lay on the ground and kept muttering, hoping that Li Lei's experimental modification would not succeed.

Xiao Wu: "..."

At this moment, Xiao Wu was speechless at Xiao Hei's behavior, but he also understood Xiao Hei's situation. After all, as long as the master's second ghost transformation experiment was successful, Xiao Hei would be the number one victim of the experiment.

But while Xiao Wu understood, he hoped that his master Li Lei could succeed. After all, he couldn't be the only victim with white skin; at least Xiao Hei should come and help him become white.

Li Lei has already begun the second experiment on the demon's transformation. Under Li Lei's parasitic flesh and blood modification, the demon's hair has turned white and its appearance has been improved to a certain extent.

The process went smoothly, and Li Lei successfully transformed the demon into a second demon, freeing it from Muzan's control and turning it into his subordinate.

However, there was one thing that Li Lei was not satisfied with: he needed to use five to ten times the power of Muzan's blood within the demon's body to succeed.

This method of stealing demons from Muzan's subordinates is not cost-effective at all. It would take him five to ten times the strength to get a demon from Muzan, and that's the simplest method if Muzan doesn't even notice.

If it were to seize one of Muzan's Twelve Demon Moons' subordinates, Li Lei would need to use nearly 50 to 100 times his strength to succeed. Li Lei thought for a moment; the method of secondary demon transformation was unnecessary for weak demons, and useless against powerful demons as strong as the Twelve Demon Moons.

To use nearly a hundred times the power to seize one of the Twelve Demon Moons felt like a terrible waste to Li Lei. Wouldn't it be better to keep that power with him? Why go through the agonizing process of stealing the Twelve Demon Moons?

Li Lei realized that his second transformation into a demon was a useful ability, but not a very useful one.

After the experiment was completed, Li Lei, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, raised his hand and sucked at the evil spirit. Instantly, the parasitic flesh inside the evil spirit exploded out and returned to Li Lei's body. The evil spirit died because of Li Lei's actions.

Little Black was stunned. Suddenly, it realized that its master was quite good to it, and it shouldn't talk back to its master.

Having recovered his power, Li Lei walked towards Xiao Hei and Xiao Wu. He prepared to perform a second demon transformation on Xiao Hei, since Xiao Hei was a demon he created using Muzan's blood, and the fundamental control remained with Muzan.

For his own safety, Li Lei planned to completely transform Xiao Hei into his subordinate to prevent Muzan from causing him any future harm.

"Little Black, are you ready? I'm about to begin your second demon transformation."

Li Lei came up to Xiao Hei and said.

"I...I'm ready, Master, please begin."

Looking at its master, Li Lei, Xiao Hei, already knowing it couldn't resist, resignedly replied.

Upon hearing Xiao Hei's reply, Li Lei calmly took out the parasitic flesh and began to perform a second demonic transformation on Xiao Hei.

As Li Lei's parasitic flesh flowed into Xiao Hei's body, strange things began to happen to Xiao Hei. First, all the black hair on his body turned white, and then his physical strength increased.

Soon, Xiao Hei completely changed its appearance, transforming into a white forest polar bear.

From a human perspective, Little Black is incredibly cute. However, Little Black doesn't see it that way. He believes he's become "unclean" like Little Crow, and has no face to face his own kind.

Xiao Wu, standing next to Xiao Hei, was quite pleased. It was finally his turn to laugh at Xiao Hei, and he was ready to get revenge for the joke he had just made.

"Haha, Little Black, you look so white now!"

Little Wu looked at Little Black with a mischievous grin, excitedly circling around him clockwise, all the while chuckling wickedly.

Faced with the strange behavior of his subordinates betraying each other, Li Lei sat elegantly on a sofa made of silk threads, drinking the diluted blood he had taken from another dimension and poured into a glass, watching the good show before him with pleasure.

The backstabbing between Xiao Wu and Xiao Hei looked like a pair of bickering lovers to Li Lei.
