Chapter 90 - 90: Settling Down Star Platinum floated behind Jotaro's body, his hawk-like eyes scanning up and down over the ghoul's body. Since they had just happened to encounter a ghoul, for the sake of future missions, Jotaro naturally had to study it well. Star Platinum pressed close to the ghoul's wound, its eyes more precise than a microscope gradually focused. The tissue layers swept past his eyes, already penetrating down to the cellular level. The process of cell division was seen by him with complete clarity. "Ghouls possess faster self-healing abilities than humans. However, it seems that the speed of cellular regeneration is not as fast as demons." To avoid forgetting, Jotaro recorded the discovery in his notebook. Shinobu Kochou looked up and asked, "Is it possible that it's due to individual differences? After all, demons of different strengths don't have the same regenerative ability either." "Possibly." Jotaro stretched out his hand, and a tiny ripple emerged from his fingertip. The ripple entered the ghoul's body, but there was no special reaction. "The ripple didn't burn his body. It seems ghouls are a type of creature different from demons, which means they can also move around in daylight." Shinobu spoke the conclusion. Jotaro frowned, expression serious, and said, "Looking at it now, besides the eyes, ghouls have no distinguishing features from humans. And being able to move during the day, they can hide in human society more easily than demons." Shinobu nodded and said, "Demons that survive in human society must be few, only the strong demons have such qualifications." Closing the notebook, doubt flashed through Jotaro's eyes, and he remained silent. Shinobu noticed his oddness and asked, "Jotaro-san, what's wrong? Did you discover something else?" Jotaro glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "It's very strange." Shinobu furrowed her brows but didn't know what was strange. Grabbing the barely breathing ghoul, Jotaro said, "What is the upper limit of a ghoul's strength? I'm not sure. But just using this ghoul as an example, even ten adult men aren't his match." Shinobu smiled and said, "After all, he encountered you, so he was instantly defeated." "The strange part is exactly here." Jotaro said calmly, "Their strength surpasses that of ordinary humans, and their time and method of activity are not as limited as demons." "Being able to integrate into human society without being discovered, this means their intelligence is not below that of humans. To be honest, if he hadn't exposed himself, I wouldn't have known he was a ghoul." With one hand carrying the ghoul's body, the other hand in his pocket, Jotaro looked straight ahead, a gleam flashing in his eyes. "Yare yare, though the theory of evolution is cruel, it makes a lot of sense." "In this world, a species like ghouls could completely surpass humans and stand at the top of the food chain." "Why is it that humans are still the dominant force in the world now?" With Jotaro's explanation, Shinobu also realized this point. Compared to demons, ghouls seemed to have no flaws. If such a species gathered into groups, organized and disciplined, it would be an unimaginable disaster for human society. Shinobu's expression looked very surprised. "Then the form of this society is really strange." But what surprised her even more was Jotaro, his high intelligence, meticulous thinking, and quick reactions were simply astonishing. Just from some trivial details, he had already noticed the irrational aspects of this society. You had to know, only a few hours had passed since they entered this world. No wonder Muzan, who had troubled the Demon Slayer Corps for hundreds of years, was killed by him in such a short time. "Jotaro-san, how do you plan to deal with this ghoul?" Jotaro carried the ghoul and walked down the road, casually saying, "Contact the police. It seems this world has a special organization to eliminate ghouls." From the newspapers seen on the street and the news broadcast on the sky screens, a few words jumped out in his mind. "It seems to be called CCG..." "This species that creates a sense of dissonance in this world, and the organization that opposes it, this CCG is also very strange." Jotaro muttered. But he couldn't be bothered to think more about it. When the ship gets to the pier, it will naturally straighten itself. As things currently stood, this world was about the same as the Demon Slayer world, in terms of danger level, it was very low for him. As for whether ghouls or demons were stronger, he couldn't be bothered to investigate. Anyway, in front of Star Platinum, they were all like little kids, one punch each. Knowing that the next world would be extremely dangerous, his desire to achieve the final goal now was not strong. He planned to make more preparations and treat the ghoul world like a gym to improve his physique. Ghouls without much offensive capability could be pretty good sparring partners. The house address given by the ghoul was correct, and the key matched. That is to say, ghouls really did live in society like humans. Knowing this, Jotaro reminded Shinobu and the others to be extra careful when operating in this world. The place Jotaro rented was a small three-story villa, with a small yard and a garage. Aside from some car parts and repair tools, there wasn't much else in the garage. Jotaro locked the ghoul inside and didn't take any protective measures. With such injuries, there was absolutely no way for him to recover within a day. The villa was fully equipped. Television, air conditioning, washing machine, common household appliances were all present. A quiet environment, and also close to the subway station, Jotaro was very satisfied with it. The exquisite Western-style house and strange appliances made Shinobu and Nezuko feel a bit dizzy. After Jotaro taught them how to use the appliances, he said, "Before we search for information in this world, I'll first take you around to get familiar with the environment so you can integrate into it as soon as possible." "What plans you have afterward, that's up to you." Although they were in the same boat now, Jotaro didn't want to interfere too much in the two girls' lives. "Um..." Under the illumination of the fluorescent light, Shinobu's face turned a little red. She looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't. "What is it?" Jotaro looked at her sideways and asked. "No... nothing..." Shinobu didn't dare look at Jotaro and waved her hand. Jotaro frowned but didn't dig deeper, calmly saying, "Go rest early. Whatever it is, we'll talk tomorrow." As he watched the two walk away, Jotaro seemed to have thought of something and shouted, "Wait a minute!" With a thought, several sets of women's clothes appeared in his hand, there were plenty of such daily supplies in the system. Casually tossing them to Shinobu, Jotaro opened the door in front of him and reminded them, "Tomorrow you two should change into clothes of this era. That'll save you some unnecessary trouble." After saying this, Jotaro entered the room and closed the door. During his time in the Demon Slayer world, due to chasing after Muzan, he never had a proper rest. Even though he was extremely exhausted, he had always forced himself to endure. At the moment Muzan was defeated and his mood relaxed, the fatigue that had accumulated in his body was instantly released. The moment his head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep. If someone attacked him at this time, he definitely wouldn't be able to react. ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
