This was the highest point of the Butterfly Mansion, and also the highest point of this mountain. From here, he could survey all the nearby landmarks and terrain.
That's right, Su Chen didn't immediately rush down to compete with Shinazugawa and the others. Because that would be far too inefficient. How many people come to the Butterfly Mansion for treatment? How many could he possibly carry, even working himself to death?
What's more, his opponents were the Flame Hashira and the Wind Hashira! Winning against them in a direct competition was a whole other problem! How could he be so reckless as to run and compete in speed with two Hashira?
Although Su Chen felt he could probably keep up with his speed, it was simply unnecessary. Because that method was full of risks. Only Inosuke, that big smart-aleck, would try to snatch people from a Hashira.
But Su Chen, from the very beginning of the competition, stood high on the roof of the Butterfly Mansion. He had seen those two scenes of Inosuke being bullied just now. Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. It was a good thing he hadn't rashly gone down. While it wouldn't have been as miserable as Inosuke, it still would have been a tough situation for him. In this round, Su Chen had to rely on his intelligence to win.
The next moment, Su Chen closed his eyes. Bullet Domain activated!
His eyes immediately became clear. The surrounding scenery began to be constantly analyzed by him, and even Su Chen's vision seemed to be able to see further.
You gaze into the distance, your pupils dilate, the curvature of your lens decreases, your vision has improved!You observe the scenery of the entire Butterfly Mansion mountain.

Below the Butterfly Mansion. Kochou Shinobu, Kanao, and Kanzaki Aoi, the three girls, stared at each other, wide-eyed. They exchanged glances. Su Chen had rushed straight to the roof of the Butterfly Mansion at the start of the competition. To be honest, the girls didn't fully understand Su Chen's actions.
Almost everyone around the Butterfly Mansion had been snatched up by Shinazugawa and Kyoujurou. Wasn't Su Chen anxious? Kanzaki Aoi shook her head. Just now, Shinazugawa and Kyoujurou had each brought back two more patients. Their scores had simultaneously reached 3 points! But Su Chen and Inosuke were still at zero! Kanzaki Aoi really didn't know how Su Chen could turn the tables.
As for Kanao, she didn't think so much. Kanao rested her chin on her hand, gazing dazedly at Su Chen on the roof. Her eyes were full of pink bubbles. She sat quietly on the bench by the door. The golden sunlight reflected on her fair skin, bright and dazzling, making the young girl shine like a porcelain doll.
A moment later. She seemed to think of something. She picked up the paper and pen in her hand and drew a beautiful red heart in the blank space after Su Chen's name. She smiled slightly.
"Alright, Kanao, your drool is almost dripping down~" Kochou Shinobu's voice came from beside Kanao's ear. Kanao's face flushed, and she quickly hid the white paper behind her. But Kochou Shinobu was faster than her. The next moment, this paper filled with pink bubbles appeared in Kochou Shinobu's small hand.
Kochou Shinobu glanced at it, furrowed her delicate brows, and snorted. She immediately gave Kanao a new piece of paper. "Use this, Kanao. You're not allowed to help Su Chen cheat~" Kanao nodded her small head. But her small hands couldn't help but be eager to try anyway.
"Lady Shinobu, Su Chen is gone!" Kanzaki Aoi's words instantly got the two girls' attention. They instinctively looked up, and indeed, Su Chen's figure was nowhere to be seen on the roof. Kanao stood up first and asked, "Aoi, where did he go?" Kochou Shinobu also looked at Kanzaki Aoi. Kanzaki Aoi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Su Chen seemed to see something just now, and then he ran off with a smile."
Upon hearing this, the two girls immediately understood. Could it be that Su Chen already had a way to win? How would he defeat both the Wind Hashira and the Flame Hashira simultaneously?
While they were all speculating, Shinazugawa and Kyoujurou each returned with two more injured people. Kanzaki Aoi stepped forward to check. After confirming, she gave Kanao a gesture. Kanao reluctantly put a checkmark behind their names. This was already the fifth one.
Mr. Su Chen, what are you doing now? The girl rested her chin on her hand, her bright eyes quietly staring at the roof where Su Chen had been. Her thoughts drifted...
And at this moment, Su Chen had already formulated a plan in his mind. Standing on the roof of the Butterfly Mansion just now, Su Chen discovered several special buildings down the mountain. The distance was neither too close nor too far. Su Chen figured this must be where the residents at the foot of the mountain received treatment. Because around those buildings, there were medicinal herbs similar to those at the Butterfly Mansion. Su Chen recognized at a glance that these were medicinal materials used for healing.
Su Chen immediately came to this place. He opened the door, and inside were dense crowds of injured people. There were even several Demon Slayer Corps members mixed among them. Su Chen's eyes lit up.
He immediately found an old man at the door and asked, "Elder, why are there so many injured people here!" "I don't know! Don't ask me! I don't know! I've tried hard enough!" The old man looked startled and did not answer Su Chen's question. Instead, he repeatedly said things Su Chen didn't understand.
"Let me explain." At this moment, a Demon Slayer Corps member in the room stepped forward. Su Chen immediately looked at him. Short black hair with a middle part, a plain face, wearing the standard Demon Slayer Corps uniform. He seemed completely unremarkable. But Su Chen always felt he was inexplicably familiar.
Su Chen tentatively asked, "Murata?" Murata was visibly stunned: "You know me?" Su Chen nodded. He was right. The person in front of him was Murata, a Demon Slayer Corps member who joined at the same time as Giyu Tomioka. He was also the naked man rescued by Kochou Shinobu on Mt. Natagumo. When they fell from the Infinity Castle, Su Chen still remembered that Murata even had a special close-up shot. This was a member who was always on the front lines! It's just that his strength wasn't great, always in the background while the main characters fought.
Inside the room. Although Murata didn't know why Su Chen recognized him, since they both belonged to the Demon Slayer Corps, it was probably normal for him to have heard of him before. Murata glanced at Su Chen: "You must be from the Butterfly Mansion, right?" He could tell that the clothes Su Chen was wearing were the kind specifically worn by people from the Butterfly Mansion. Although he was a bit young, he had a surprisingly mature aura.
Su Chen did not deny Murata's question: "I'm from the Butterfly Mansion." "Brother Murata, what's going on here? Why are there so many injured people?" Su Chen asked, puzzled. Walking into the room, Su Chen saw that there were actually many more injured people inside than he had seen from the doorway. They almost filled the entire house! Combined with Murata and the others being here, the answer was almost obvious.
Murata sighed and said, "Last night, demons appeared here. They were all injured by demons."
