Chapter 26 Demons
He was by no means an ordinary person who could easily pass the intensive training at the column level, but he was currently in a sick bed and could not be summoned, so he had to call Mrs. Tianyin and ask her to meet Zhang Xie and find out about Zhang Xie's situation.

Zhang Xie has always been a Kwai-level little swordsman. It is found out from the files that he has not joined the Demon Slayer Squad for a long time, a batch earlier than Tanjiro and others, but he has not made any achievements. During the execution of missions, he was attacked by little ghosts many times Injury, so the class has never been promoted.

Such an inconspicuous little person suddenly burst into dazzling brilliance, which is really suspicious.

When Mrs. Tianyin found Zhang Xie, Zhang Xie was about to go to Tanjiro's ward, but was stopped by Mrs. Tianyin and led to the small pavilion.

It was the first time Zhang Xie saw Mrs. Tianyin, she was a very beautiful woman, exuding gentle soft light all over her body, dazzling, she behaved gracefully, walked lightly, and said softly: "Zhang Xie, you are very outstanding, I now give you special permission to ascend to the Xin rank."

Zhang Xie said without being humble or overbearing: "Thank you so much, Madam!"

Madam Tianyin was quite satisfied with Zhang Xie's performance, and nodded slightly.

Zhang Xie suddenly asked: "My lord, madam, how about the current situation of the haunted village?"

Madam Tianyin naturally knew what Zhang Xie was referring to, she thought for a moment and said, "That village is not haunted."

Zhang Xie said in shock: "Impossible! We obviously feel that there is a ghost!"

Mrs. Tianyin said: "We sent three C-level swordsmen to investigate. According to the investigation, the village is not haunted."

Zhang Xie wanted to say more, but Mrs. Tianyin interrupted him: "Don't worry, since you have passed the column-level intensive training, you can go out to perform the mission, and you can go to that village to check the situation."

This is exactly what Zhang Xie wants, even if he is a C-level swordsman, he can't be completely relieved, he really wants to fly over immediately.

Mrs. Tian Yin said seriously: "But you can't call Tanjiro and others away, they still need intensive training."

Zhang Xie nodded slightly, it seemed that he could only rely on himself.

Zhang Xie rushed to the village in a hurry. The village was no different from the last time he came. Zhang Xie knocked on the door of Huazi's house, and what came into view was a face like pear blossoms with rain. She looked at Zhang Xie pitifully. , said softly: "Zhang Xiejun, are you here?"

Without waiting for Zhang Xie to speak, she burst into tears, "Another person has disappeared in the village. Up to now, there are not many people left in the whole village."

Zhang Xie was very puzzled, Mrs. Tianyin concluded that there was no ghost in the village, and even a few C-level swordsmen returned without success, but why did some people go missing?The village seemed to be covered in a layer of fog and became confusing.

Zhang Xie quickly comforted Hanako, entered the room first, and only asked about the specific situation after Hanako stopped crying.

Hanako said: "The three big brothers came last time. I told them and took them to that room, but they didn't find anything. They said there are no ghosts here."

Hearing this, Zhang Xie frowned. Tanjiro and the others clearly sensed the existence of ghosts, so there should be nothing wrong with it, not to mention the fact that people in the village are constantly missing.He let Hanako relax first, and then decided to stay and investigate the matter carefully.

Zhang Xie set up a simple tent outside the house. Huazi invited Zhang Xie to sleep in the house many times, but he refused all of them.

For three days in a row, there was no incident, no one was heard of missing, and no movement was heard.

The morning sun evenly shone on Zhang Xie's tent. He got up and stretched, rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out. For three days, the evil spirit seemed to be completely silent, which made Zhang Xie very embarrassed.

Huazi makes delicious rice balls for Zhang Xie every day, and she gradually understands Zhang Xie's preferences, such as putting more meat and just the right amount of vegetables. The more Zhang Xie eats, the more he wants to eat. Every meal is a kind of enjoyment.

Eating rice balls made by Hanako, Zhang Xie sat outside the door and looked into the distance, thinking to himself, it seems that today is another day of peace and harmony.

In the dead of night, Zhang Xie blew out the lights and candles in the tent, and was about to sleep with his clothes on. Suddenly, he heard a slight noise not far away. His subconscious mind told him that this sound was abnormal. out of the tent.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees whirled like ghosts with teeth and claws. Zhang Xie pulled out the sun wheel knife and walked forward quietly.

The voice came from the low brick house in front. Zhang Xie remembered that when he came last time, there lived an old woman who was over half a century old, dry and thin. When she saw Zhang Xie, her eyes were full of hostility.

When approaching the brick building, even without a keen sense of smell, Zhang Xie could smell a strong smell of blood. His heart skipped a beat, and he sank to the bottom of the valley. It was an evil spirit. He rushed over immediately and slashed open the door bolt.

The door opened in response to the sound, revealing the scene inside, a dry and thin man with his back facing Zhang Xie, squatting on the stove, holding something in his hand, and sending it straight to his mouth, making the sound of creaking teeth.

Sensing the movement behind him, the figure suddenly turned around, which frightened Zhang Xie to stagger. It was completely different from the ghosts he had killed in the past. A half-eaten chicken.

Only then did Zhang Xie see clearly that the evil spirit was the old woman who opened the door. Zhang Xie remembered that when she opened the door, the old woman was exposed to direct sunlight, and she was not an evil spirit at that time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xie immediately understood that there was more than one evil spirit, and he was assimilating the villagers here. The old woman obviously had just become an evil spirit not long ago, and lost her mind after tasting the blood.

Zhang Xie raised the knife and fell, beheading the old woman's head, and the old woman disappeared quickly.

After getting rid of a little ghost, Zhang Xie felt very heavy. He didn't know how many innocent villagers would suffer. He immediately exited the door. Under the moonlight, he saw many villagers coming out of their houses and slowly walking towards the come along.

The villagers' faces were pale, their throats overflowed with low growls, their eyes looked fierce, and some even showed ghostly looks.

Damn, have they all been assimilated?Zhang Xie gripped the Rilun Saber tightly. These villagers who had just been assimilated were irrational and unable to resist, but they were all living human beings before. Zhang Xie's hand holding the saber was shaking slightly.

There were about a dozen people, except for Hanako, almost the entire village. Zhang Xie couldn't help but feel chilled when the evil spirit assimilated the entire village. In his memory, such a situation never existed in the manga of Demon Slayer: Blade.

Zhang Xie was a little at a loss, his heart fluttered, he closed his eyes, raised his knife, and quickly cut down a few evil spirits nearby. At this moment, Huazi opened the door, and she heard the movement outside the door, and wanted to come out to take a look. When she saw Zhang Xie surrounded by evil spirits, she burst into tears immediately.
