Chapter 21 - 21: Nezuko Is Still Alive Through the worsening of the wound, and those twisted veins, Jotaro made such a deduction. In fact, Muzan indeed did exactly that. His blood is like poison to humans. As long as his blood is injected, the human brain, body, all aspects, will be affected. Naturally, he did not want to turn Jotaro into the same kind, but injecting blood into Jotaro's body could influence his movements and increase the chance of killing him. So, the moment the blood-colored long whip touched the flesh, his blood spurted out from the tip of the whip. Unfortunately, he absolutely did not expect Nezuko to block that strike by standing in front of Jotaro at the critical moment. Otherwise, if it was Jotaro who got struck by the blood whip and the wound was tainted with Muzan's blood, the final battle might have been reversed by Muzan. "Nezuko has already been killed by him, why does he still have to use his filthy blood to defile Nezuko's body!" Tanjiro let out a low roar, his heart filled with hatred, sorrow, and guilt, all kinds of emotions intertwined, making it hard for him to bear. "Calm down!" As the eldest son of the family, he absolutely could not collapse at this moment, Jotaro shouted loudly. Although Jotaro's expression was stern, and his tone seemed a bit impatient, Tanjiro knew it was out of goodwill. Jotaro-san wanted to help him pull himself together. He wiped his tears, slowly lifted his head. Although he still looked a bit dispirited, Jotaro's words did have some effect. He had indeed calmed down a little. Jotaro glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Nezuko's condition is very bad, but she is not dead. Her body still has signs of life." Hearing this, Tanjiro immediately became excited. "Jotaro-san, is what you said true? Nezuko is still alive?" Jotaro nodded slightly and didn't say more. The Kamado family saw this and looked at each other, each one showing joy on their faces. "That's great! Big sister isn't dead!" Several of the younger children were already jumping with happiness at hearing this news. "Takeo! Quiet down!" Jotaro normally already disliked noisy sounds, let alone after a night of fierce battle, he was mentally exhausted. He furrowed his brows and shouted loudly. That aura made the children freeze and instantly quiet down. 'Jotaro-san is so scary.' Takeo and a few of the younger boys stood to the side, shivering. But Kamado Hanako had her soft fists placed on her chest. Her pink eyes, the same as Nezuko's, were staring blankly at Jotaro's stern face. 'Jotaro-san is so handsome, even when angry, he looks so cool...' Her cheeks flushed with a faint blush. Jotaro was definitely not an ordinary person. Facing such a powerful demon and still protecting their entire family had already proven that point. Kie's heart was full of hope. She asked the tall man in front of her, "Jotaro-san, can you save Nezuko? Using your..." That mysterious, ghost-like ability to conjure things from thin air, she really didn't know how to describe it. "You mean the Stand?" Jotaro looked at her and gave her a disappointing answer. "No." "How could that be..." Kie looked a bit disheartened. In her heart, unconsciously, Jotaro had already become an all-powerful figure. Not just her, the entire Kamado family felt that way. But no matter how powerful a Stand is, it's not omnipotent. Even Star Platinum has many things it cannot do. Jotaro explained, "The demon's blood has basically covered more than half of Nezuko's body. In this situation, even Star Platinum is powerless." Star Platinum had touched Nezuko's blood vessels. Her blood flow wasn't slowing, it was accelerating. This meant that after being attacked by the demon, Nezuko had indeed died, and her blood flow had stopped. But the demon's blood seemed to have merged with her body, gradually allowing her to regain some signs of life. Under the influence of demon blood, the various organs in her body began to resume functioning. Jotaro didn't know whether this was good news or bad news, but in any case, the girl's life had been preserved. As long as there was still a sliver of chance, he wouldn't give up on saving her. It's just that facing this kind of situation, he truly had no idea what to do. He had considered using Ripple, the kind of energy similar to the sun's that could kill demon cells. However, the demon's blood had already flowed through most of Nezuko's body and merged with her. Recklessly using Ripple might cause unimaginable harm inside Nezuko's body. It might even cause Nezuko to turn to ashes together with the demon cells. Besides, he only knew the Ripple technique's training method, he was not actually skilled in this demon-killing art. For various reasons, he couldn't take the risk. But at the moment, doing nothing was not an option. Based on Jotaro's thinking, the first thing that came to mind was the hospital. Nezuko should be taken to a hospital, have her body fully examined by professional doctors and receive test results. Moreover, her injuries also needed treatment with medical equipment. Of course, he himself needed that too. No matter how good his physique was, he still feared wound infection. Sutures were only an emergency fix, they couldn't stay in the body permanently. The body's rejection reaction is no joke. Jotaro didn't think much more and said, "Anyway, first take Nezuko to the hospital." "Tanjiro, bring the cart over." Jotaro was like the backbone of the Kamado family. Hearing his command, Tanjiro immediately took action. "What are you all still standing here for? Hurry and pack what you need to take." Jotaro looked at the dazed Kie and the several children beside her and spoke helplessly. Kie was stunned for a moment, nodded, and asked a bit embarrassedly, "But Jotaro-san, what are we supposed to pack? Honestly, it's my first time encountering something like this." "Tsk." 'This old hag!' After her husband died, Kie raised seven children on her own, she was an extremely strong woman. But in the end, she was just a housewife. In these matters, she was indeed not as reliable as Jotaro. And things like hospitals, based on their family's financial situation, they probably hadn't even been to one. For families like theirs, when someone got sick with a cold or fever, they just used some herbs and toughed it out. If it was something more serious, they would call a clinic doctor to come treat them at home. In this kind of remote mountain area, that's basically how it was. This woman was a bit like his own mother, both the kind that needed to be taken care of. "Yare yare..." Jotaro said patiently, "Take everything in the house that's valuable. From tomorrow, you'll be moving out of here." ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
