Jotaro briefly and clearly explained what had happened that night. During the explanation, he also lit a cigarette and took a few puffs.
Shinobu waved away the smoke beside her and thoughtfully said, "No one in the Demon Slayer Corps has ever seen that guy Muzan. We don't know what he looks like or what his Blood Demon Art is."
"If the person Mr. Jotaro encountered was really Muzan, then that would be a big help to us."
"Extendable bones and spine… and even able to crack, these will be extremely useful information in our fight against Muzan."
Her beautiful eyes fell on Jotaro's side profile. Even under the sunlight, this face was like an iceberg that would never melt, cold and stern.
Everyone longs for beautiful things. His heroic and impressive face made her look twice without realizing.
"Cough… cough cough!"
So much so that she didn't even notice the thick smoke entering her nasal cavity. Shinobu began coughing violently.
"Yare yare." Jotaro extinguished the cigarette and said helplessly, "If you can't stand the smell of smoke, just stay away from me."
Shinobu caught her breath. Naturally, she noticed Jotaro putting out the cigarette, which warmed her heart a little.
She waved her hand and said, "It's fine, Mr. Jotaro. About Muzan's appearance, I hope you can describe it. We'll arrange for people to search for this person later."
Jotaro sat quietly in place and didn't reply. Muzan's appearance surfaced in his mind. Suddenly, a sketching pencil appeared in his hand, and in his other hand appeared a drawing board and paper.
Shinobu's eyes widened. Even though she had seen this kind of ability before, items appearing out of thin air still amazed her greatly.
Yet what happened next made her click her tongue in even more wonder.
She saw the pencil in Jotaro's hand float up on its own, hovering above the drawing board. The next second, the pencil began moving rapidly back and forth across the board.
In the blink of an eye, a vivid portrait had come to life on the paper.
'Kibutsuji Muzan!'
Star Platinum didn't miss a single detail. Muzan appeared at the Kamado residence just like this, and now, he appeared on the paper just the same.
"This is also the Stand's ability?" Shinobu murmured in awe. "This is the first time I've seen such a lifelike drawing."
Jotaro explained, "My Stand, Star Platinum, has extremely high precision, even the hairs on a fly's body can be reproduced without error."
Shocked, Shinobu took the portrait of Muzan from Jotaro's hands.
Jotaro reminded her, "Using a portrait to search for Muzan, I think, will only be a waste of effort."
Shinobu asked, "Why?"
Her light green pupils looked even more bright and deep under the sunlight. Jotaro said, "Muzan's control over his body has already surpassed human understanding. I believe he doesn't have just one appearance. With his ability, creating other faces isn't a difficult task."
Shinobu deeply agreed and smiled, "Indeed. After all, he's an old fox who has been hiding for nearly a thousand years."
To be honest, if Jotaro hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have thought of this point.
However, the Demon Slayer Corps already didn't have much information about the Demon King. Now there was at least a bit of progress, better than none.
Although appearances can be changed, many things about a person, like temperament, gaze, smell, and so on, are hard to change.
Star Platinum had recorded every detail of Muzan. To a certain extent, it was still a great help to the Demon Slayer Corps.
Shinobu carefully stored the drawing. As her eyes glanced to the side, she saw her Kasugai crow, Yen, flapping its wings, circling in the sky not far away.
She looked over curiously, and the Kasugai crow landed on her shoulder. After listening to the crow's message, her expression changed dramatically.
Seeing her anxious expression, Jotaro frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shinobu said, "Taking Nezuko in was a decision made privately by Tomioka-san and me. The Master doesn't know about it yet. I was planning to wait until Nezuko's condition stabilized before reporting it to him."
"But…" she sighed, "the Master wants to meet Tanjiro and the others. At this rate, the fact that Nezuko has turned into a demon can't be hidden anymore."
"Not just her, Tomioka-san and I will also be in trouble."
With her understanding of the Master, as long as the situation is explained, he might accept Nezuko. But the other Hashiras…
Most of the Hashira have deep grudges against demons. Back then, when she saw Nezuko, she too had immediately wanted to kill her without a second thought.
If things go on like this, Nezuko will definitely be in big trouble. After all, she's still in the Butterfly Mansion. Once her identity is exposed, countless swordsmen will instantly surround her.
The message came from Tomioka-san. The situation was very urgent. It's said the Wind Hashira was already on the way to the Butterfly Mansion.
Shinobu knew all too well what kind of person Sanemi Shinazugawa was. She had to hurry back immediately.
"Yare yare daze~"
Jotaro had originally planned to go search for Ken Takakura's research lab directly. He didn't expect this kind of accident to happen.
It was he who had sent Nezuko to the Butterfly Mansion. Of course, he couldn't ignore her safety.
Jotaro pushed open the door of the inner room, and the one locked inside was that female demon.
She curled up in the corner pitifully. Her body was tied up with thick steel bars by Jotaro and couldn't move.
"Please, let me go. I won't run."
Seeing this female demon, Shinobu's face immediately turned cold.
"Mr. Jotaro, do you need me to kill her?" Cold words came out of Shinobu's mouth.
The female demon trembled and shouted to Jotaro, "You promised me you wouldn't kill me! Only I know where that bastard's research lab is!"
"Shut up! Get lost!" Jotaro roared, and Star Platinum instantly moved, untying the steel bars on the female demon.
He said coldly, "If you dare go more than 10 meters away from me, I will kill you instantly."
As soon as his words fell, three horrifying bloody holes immediately appeared on the female demon's body. She had no idea when Jotaro had made his move. Her face turned pale in fear, and she quickly nodded.
With his time-stop ability, Jotaro could have let the demon stay even further away.
But the further the distance, the more blind spots in his field of vision. If she escaped while he wasn't paying attention, that would be a disaster.
Ten meters gave Jotaro enough reaction time.
