[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

==============================

No cuts, no blood, I'm alive, I'm awake.

His heart was beating wildly, and the severe pain of slashing his own knife in his dream still vaguely remained on his neck, even though his reason told him that it was not reality, Tanjiro couldn't help but rubbed his neck in confusion to confirm his heartbeat.

It's okay, I'm still alive...

He gasped in horror, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

At this moment, two cool hands gently pressed against his temples, and the power of peace and tranquility spread into his mind along with the fingertips.

"what?"

"Breath of water, focus on consciousness, then calm down and listen to me," a voice said calmly, with a reassuring calmness, "The situation is urgent, you go to the front compartment to find the ghost's body first, don't force it, I will It will pass soon."

Xuan Yin's internal energy circulated from Tanjirou's cranial breath to the ear door, just like combing the light in the tree gap in the morning, calming the messy thoughts.

Feeling the boy's heartbeat gradually calm down, Kuhara Hiiragi withdrew his hand.

"Thank you...but Mr. Hiiragi," Tanjiro looked at the young man with black jade green hair in front of him, although he had confirmed the other person's aura, he still couldn't help himself, "When did you come?"

"Just now."

"Huh? Hurry up to the moving train...?"

Ah, no, now is not the time to think about this!

Tanjiro shook his head, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked to the side, there was sitting there still sleeping Kyojuro Purgatory, and beyond that was the corridor of the train.

"Nezuko, are you okay!? I just smelled your blood!"

"call."

The wound on the girl's forehead had healed as before, not even a trace of blood remained, and she was standing in the corridor beside the seat worriedly and angrily.Behind her were Zenitsu and Inosuke who were still immersed in sleep. Although they didn't wake up, they didn't seem to be hurt.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry to make you worry..." The boy was completely relieved after comforting his angry sister.

Great that Nezuko wasn't attacked while he was asleep.

"Please go to the front compartment to check. There is a strong smell of ghosts here, but I can't find out the exact location." Kuhara Hiiragi said, looking in the direction of Inosuke with a somewhat complicated look, "And I still have something to solve .”

"Did Inosuke encounter any danger?" Tanjiro asked.

"No..." Kuhara Hiiragi said helplessly, "The one who is in danger is not him."

Tanjiro nodded half-understood, but he also knew that now was not the time to continue asking, so he picked up the Japanese sword under the seat and quickly left the carriage.

……

Although the blood ghost technique used by this ghost can be dispelled directly by calling the eyes, the human spirit is a fragile thing after all, and it will be damaged under the pulling of the eyes and the caster, so the best solution is to find blood ghosts. source of ghost magic and remove it.

During the time when Tanjiro left and asked Nezuko to burn the rope and search for the ticket, Kuhara Hiiragi had to protect the core of other people's unconscious space.

But even he didn't expect that Inosuke's unconscious space would look like this.

The dark and narrow tunnel twists and turns throughout the entire space, twisting and leading to all directions. A girl with a red hair band is crawling forward, struggling to escape the pig-headed monster that is chasing after her.

Not a hood, but a real boar's head.

"Why does this guy appear in the unconscious space!"

Not to mention destroying the core of the spirit, it is hard to protect yourself if you don't escape faster at this moment.Seeing that the screaming thing was about to bite her leg, the girl almost screamed.

What saved her was the black mist that suddenly blocked the two of them.

"Please throw away the awl that the ghost gave you," a voice sounded from the black mist, "otherwise I will let him come here."

"Ah, yes!"

Under extreme fear, the girl with the headband didn't care too much, and threw the awl aside as if she were throwing something hot.

Seeing her cooperate so much, Xiangshu, that is, Kuhara Hiiragi could hardly help sighing. He no longer paid attention to the girl who was the intruder, but looked at Inosuke who was afraid to go forward on the other side.

"Inosuke?"

The beast didn't answer, just opened its mouth and roared.

"..."

Is this what the self in the child's mind actually looks like?But the unconscious space is such a dark and small place, is it because there is no sense of security?

Kuhara Hiiragi was thinking this, when he suddenly saw Inosuke open his mouth, and bit down on the black mist.

"Wait... Inosuke!"

The black mist retreated suddenly, which made the girl who was in the cave on the other side scream in fright, curled up and dared not move.

Not being able to back down will affect the girl's spirit, and she can't stand the blow anymore.

"I promise I won't hurt you, so why don't you lean over?"

"Ooooooooooo!"

No, no communication at all.

After realizing the current situation, Kuhara Hiiragi thought about it. Although it is an unconscious space, as long as he does not touch the core, nothing will happen if he is attacked by the subconscious self...

So when the beast came with another bite, he just restrained the strength of Xiangshu so that it would not spread to other places, and he did not avoid it.

Then--

"Alas!"

"……call?"

Nezuko, who was burning the rope around Zenitsu's wrist, showed a puzzled look, turned her head to look at Kuhara Hiiragi who suddenly screamed, and then covered her mouth, while the latter just turned her head silently.

"...It doesn't matter to me, you burn the rope quickly."

"Yeah." Nezuko nodded, and continued to use the blood ghost technique to burn the rope, but she didn't know that the young man behind her was going through a terrible battle in the unconscious space.

"Relax!"

Black Mist struggled hard, but the beast didn't let him go at all.

"Inosuke! This is Xiangshu, it's a bad thing, don't eat it!"

Although he tried his best to maintain a calm and stern tone, Kuhara Hiiragi's scalp was actually tingling.

He didn't know that it would be so uncomfortable for Xiangshu to be bumped into when he was restraining his aggressiveness.But if you think about it carefully, the core of all living beings is itself a core, which is as fragile as the spiritual body.

The beast didn't let go, still biting the black mist, and shook its head as if biting its prey.

Is this kid crazy?

He didn't know, but his fragile spirit was being bitten like this, Jiuyuan Hiiragi felt that he was going crazy.

Fortunately, at this moment, Nezuko burned the rope on Inosuke's wrist, so Kuhara Hiiragi also instantly evacuated Xiangshu from Inosuke's mental space.

In fact, this period was only for a very short period of time, but he felt as if it had passed for a long time. At this moment, he was finally able to sit on the seat with a sigh of relief, and began to calm down the disordered internal breath with his head covered.

It's nothing.he thinks.

……

The vibration of the carriage came from below him, and his consciousness gradually returned.

Just now in the unconscious space of Purgatory Xing Shoulang, the girl surrounded by Xiangshu opened her eyes and saw the rope on her wrist that had been burned.

"you're awake?"

Hearing this voice, the girl suddenly showed a look of fear, but in the next second she gritted her teeth and looked at the young man in the haori that was sewn with charms.

"Don't get in the way of our dreams! You monster!"

She waved the sharp awl in her hand and stabbed Jiuyuan Hiiragi violently, and then her wrist hurt.

The awl made of ghost bones dropped from his hand, made a clang, and rolled under the seat.

"You, all of you hurry up to help! Otherwise, I will sue that person, so that you can't have a good dream!" She turned her head and shouted at the other people who woke up to assist the ghost, but there was no response.

"……what?"

She looked flustered and found that those people had all collapsed on their seats.

Are you all knocked out?when?

The girl clutched her wrist, and seemed to be a little confused about the situation, so she could only stand there in a daze.

"The ghost's words cannot be trusted. Even if he promises to give you a good dream, most of them are just lies." Jiuyuan Hiiragi said calmly, "A ghost who will do things to destroy the core of others is entirely possible to betray himself. If you pass, you will fall into a nightmare of no return."

"You should be very clear about that."

Just to hold on to the slim hope, to believe some unrealistic words, so as to do things that hurt others.

But even knowing it, it's not easy to truly accept it.

"Why... this is too unreasonable..."

The girl shook her head in disbelief.

"It's already such a life... Anyway, I will die in the end anyway, everyone will die in the end! Why do I have to suffer! The reality can't be changed, so can't I even have a happy dream at the end? !?"

There is no happiness at all, like a life that has fallen into the abyss, if only happiness can be found in a dream, is this an excessive request?

Hearing this, Kuhara Hiiragi could only stare at her silently.

He could feel the desperate and painful cores of these people, and he had obviously been in a state of extreme grief for a long time. He didn't even need the erosion of the cores, and he could do crazy things by himself.

"I don't have any way to relieve your pain, I can't save anyone, maybe it's too cruel for you to live like this... But no matter what, please don't forget—"

Before falling into darkness, the girl heard the man talking.

"You were born a human being, so you have to be a human being."

……

Burning the tickets was much easier than burning the ropes. In just a split second, those tickets that were used to trigger the remote vampirism were destroyed.

That way it should be fine.

Just thinking about it, Kuhara Hiiragi suddenly saw unusual lumps of meat wriggling around the carriage.

"This is……!"

"Mr. Hiiragi! Nezuko! Can you hear me!?" Tanjiro's eager voice came from not far from the carriage, "The whole train has merged with the ghost! Hurry up and protect the people in the train! "

the whole train?

Kuhara Hiiragi couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, but at the same time he understood.

No wonder he couldn't find out the specific location of the ghost. It turned out that the whole car was a ghost.Kuhara Hiiragi put on the palm gloves and was about to deal with the sarcoids that intended to get close to humans, when he heard Inosuke's voice next to him.

"...Kihara? Why are you here?"

Ah, the kid woke up.

Kuhara Hiiragi looked at him silently, and then punched him on the head with little force, but it still hurt a little.

"Why are you beating me!"

"...You know it in your heart." He replied with a frown.

What the hell?Inosuke thought angrily, but he really had no idea about it, and when he was about to fight back unconvinced, he heard a loud voice sounding beside him.

"The situation has become so serious while I was asleep!"

As the voice fell, the bright red Sun Wheel Saber came out of its sheath, and the firelight illuminated those eyes that were also as bright as the scorching sun.

"It's really worthy of the name of Nine Pillars! It really makes people want to find a crack in the ground to get in!"

Yanzhu, Purgatory Xingshoulang said so.

The author has something to say:

There is an important thing. This article will officially become updated every other day.

Calvin is the main reason. In addition, the new plot of Ghost Slayer is a bit explosive recently. I want to wait for it to update a few more chapters, and then the outline and many details will have to be changed.

Then I, a hard-working star in emotional drama, should also think about the issue of emotional drama, why am I so useless in this regard (falling into contemplation).
