[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

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

Kuhara Hiiragi stood on the roof of the pitch-black train, and heard the howling cold night wind and the thunderous attack in the carriage.

"Oh!"

There was a bump on the carriage, as if something was about to burst out of its shell.

"Nezuko, don't break the carriage." Seeing this, Kuhara Hiiragi raised his voice a little and said, "Once this ghost splits into two, you will be separated from Tanjiro at the front of the car."

"……Well!"

Hearing this, although it sounded a bit reluctant, Nezuko still relaxed his movements a little.

Under his feet was one of the three carriages in charge of Zenitsu and Nezuko, and further back, on the side with more noise, was Purgatory Kyojuro who was in charge of five carriages alone.

In a compartment just a few minutes ago.

The blade of the sun wheel rolled up the red flames, setting off a heat wave, and cut off all the limbs of those wriggling ghosts in an instant, leaving only a phantom like a rainbow in midair.

Before the ghost blood fell, the young man in the flame-patterned haori had already stood in the corridor again, looking at the ghost-slaying team members present.

"Assimilate to the train, then the purpose of this ghost is probably to eat the passengers directly after assimilating to the train!" After finishing his sentence, Kyojuro Purgatory assigned the tasks to be done in a few words, even Inosuke rarely said anything.

Even though he had just woken up from a dream, this person grasped the situation in an instant and chose a solution that could save everyone on the train based on his current combat power.

"As for Jiuyuan, I don't know about your combat ability, but according to the vampire technique you said at the meeting earlier, there is still something you need to do!"

Thinking back like this, he heard a soft voice from behind, which was so soft that it seemed to be whispering to himself, but it was very clear on the roaring train.

"I felt something troublesome ran into the car, it seems to be you."

Nightmare, who had already merged with the train, stretched out a piece of flesh with a head attached to it from the roof, looking at the young man standing quietly on the roof under the moonlight.

Kuhara Hiiragi didn't answer, but turned around silently, looking at the head of the demon with numbers engraved in its eyes.

"You didn't respond to me, didn't you even have the idea of ​​attacking? What an arrogant guy." Nightmare said with a bit of disappointment, "The power you use in the unconscious space is so convenient that it can make the human brain The ability to make people fall into despair is based on evil thoughts, but it is not used in the right place. It is really wasteful, and even I feel it is a pity."

"The right place?"

"Yeah, you don't even need to prepare for nightmares, they can directly erode people's hearts and see them struggling desperately." Nightmare narrowed his eyes as if thinking of something extremely interesting, "If you don't need it, just put this How about transferring the power to me?"

"If you can, you can try it."

"Speaking of dreams, it's my home game." The ghost smiled softly, "The boy in the car wearing a wild boar hood is your important person, so how about letting you dream about his corpse? Then How about I'll show you his real body when you wake up, isn't it interesting?"

"..."

"It's so cold, there's not even a little funny expression, do you think the dream doesn't matter anyway?"

Before he finished speaking, the word 'dream' appeared in his eyes, and the blood ghost technique to force sleep was activated, but the ghost with a calm face didn't even waver at all.

Sure enough, the blood ghost technique of falling into a dream doesn't work on this guy.Nightmare thought in her heart.But in this way, the opponent would have to use vampirism to resist, so he could leave this variable here for the time being. In order not to hurt those useless human beings, he had to restrain himself. It was really stupid.

Then he saw the young man suddenly raised his head, looked at the scenery beside the train, and said slowly, "I have a question for you."

"what?"

"Human desperation and pain, do you live on these things as food?"

Nightmare narrowed her eyes slightly: "How is it possible, what ghosts need is only human flesh and blood. Seeing human suffering is just a hobby... yes, it is my favorite thing."

"Really." Jiuyuan Hiiragi said calmly, "That's my judgment was wrong, you are completely different from me (Xianshu)."

"I don't intend to become the same kind of guy as you, who is in league with human beings," Nightmare said indifferently, "Then what do you want to ask these questions? It's useless to delay time, you should know , what is in front of you is only a small part of me, not the main body."

"Well, but that's enough," Kuhara Hiiragi said, walking towards the edge of the carriage, "And, I also confirmed one thing again."

In Nightmare's puzzled eyes, that figure lightly jumped towards the deep woods next to the road, before disappearing in the vast darkness.

"—ghosts are really empty and pathetic creatures."

Blood ghost art - suppressing evil spirits.

If the ghost was beheaded and died in a train accident, fell into a slope, or fell from a bridge into the water, then the lives of 200 people would really be irretrievable.So Purgatory Kyojuro asked Kuhara Hiiragi to find a way to stop the train in an open area.

Although the ghost was integrated into the train, it wasn't stupid enough to turn into the train completely. Instead, it buried all its limbs inside where the light could not be seen, otherwise he would have nowhere to hide at dawn.

Suppressing Prison Fuxie is only useful when facing life, so before waiting for a suitable parking place, Kuhara Hiiragi needs to ensure that he can directly witness Nightmare outside the car.

Even thought of this aspect.

Kuhara Hiiragi, who was standing on a tree trunk and desperately holding the train, sighed in his heart. Although he admired his comprehensiveness, but...

"What kind of creature is this? Its strength is...too great."

He was standing on a tree, with one hand almost pinched into the trunk with all his strength, the veins on his forehead were bulging, Xiangshu's eyes were trembling due to excessive use of strength, and he could only slow down the speed of the car little by little.

There was a harsh metallic sound, and sparks flickered where the wheels met the track.

What is even more dazzling than that is the red lotus fire that suddenly lit up from the front of the car.

……

After a mournful death cry, the lower string was finally beheaded, and the violent ghost flesh filled the whole train in an instant. Although it had stopped on the plain, it still shook and rolled over.

Fortunately, none of the 200 people in the car died.

After confirming that the train was under the car and could not move, Kuhara Hiiragi stopped the blood ghost technique and rushed to the front of the carriage.

"...Tanjirou?"

The clothes on the abdomen of the boy who fell on the ground were already soaked with blood, but his face looked calm. Seeing him coming, he showed a smile.

"Mr. Hiiragi! It's okay, the bleeding has stopped, thanks to Mr. Purgatory."

Kuhara Hiiragi breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Inosuke next to him who was rescued the wounded in the carriage, his eyes softened a little.

"I went to help too," he said to Purgatory Kyojuro, "Thank you for helping Inozu."

Not to mention anything else, just because he can make Inosuke act so quickly and accurately in a short period of time is enough to impress Kuhara Hiiragi.

"Hmm, don't be too polite, I will teach them unreservedly whether it is the responsibility of being a member of the ghost killing team or swordsmanship!" Purgatory Xingshourou nodded, "After all, the pig-headed boy, the yellow-haired boy and the stove-door boy , are already..."

"Please wait a moment! Mr. Purgatory!"

Tanjiro wanted to stop his voice, but the wound in his abdomen prevented him from speaking too loudly, so he could only watch the swordsman with bright eyes continue with a loud voice:

"He is my excellent stepson!"

"..."

The evening wind blew across the treetops, and there was only silence on the empty plain, only the sounds of a few passengers next to him being dragged by Inosuke.

Kamado Tanjiro lay on the ground with his brain empty, and in front of him was the starry night sky.He should have thought it would turn out like this, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to explain it clearly to Mr. Purgatory.

Inosuke is also like that, "Brother! ''Brother Purgatory! ' cried out.

"step son?"

"Hmm! Exactly!"

He folded his arms and answered without hesitation.

"Really, but maybe you don't know, he was already my disciple when he was seven years old."

Purgatory Kyojuro stared at him for a few seconds with golden red eyes, then nodded: "I understand, but I don't think this conflicts! Inosuke boy has something he wants to learn, even if you are his master now It should not be hindered! I look forward to the three of them being able to inherit my Nine Pillars position one day!"

What he said was very reasonable, so Kuhara Hiiragi was silent for a while, and didn't say any more.

"……makes sense."

In terms of swordsmanship and breathing, it would indeed be better for Inosuke to accept the guidance of Purgatory.

"Hey brother!" Inosuke yelled here, "The last two carriages have been emptied, but that guy Monichi is still sleeping..."

"Big brother?"

"Well! You can call me that if you want!"

The sassy Yan Zhu looked at Kuhara Hiiragi.

"No, I don't want to call you that."

As Kuhara Hiiragi said, he slashed open the flesh of the ghost that squeezed the passenger with his palm, blood dripped down his palm, and the scarlet color was reflected in those dark eyes.

Inosuke always only called him Kihara, but when facing Yan Zhu, whom he met for the first time, he actually called him Big Brother.

Thinking of this, he took the last crushed passenger out of the car, and then looked at Purgatory Xingjurou again with a serious expression.

Mmmmm... this is a bit difficult.

Purgatory Xingshourou thought in his heart, but his firm expression showed no sign of shrinking. In this slightly tense atmosphere, he still maintained a smile.

"What's wrong with them?" The boy wearing a wild boar hood couldn't bear to watch, and asked beside Tanjirou.

"I'm not very clear either," Tanjiro smiled wryly, "But thank you, Inosuke."

Inosuke felt baffled.

"Looks like it's already a state that can't be solved by words!" Purgatory Xingshourou clenched his fists and said, "Then let's go to the competition and eat sweet potatoes!"

"……what?"

Jiuyuan Hiiragi froze for a moment, he couldn't keep up with Yanzhu's brain circuit in front of him, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something, his face changed, he raised his head to look at the dark night sky, and opened his eyes suddenly The third eye on the forehead.

"what happened?"

"Something is coming..."

Kuhara Hiiragi frowned slightly, it was the first time Wen Esheng had captured such a huge target, and he was frantically sending out an alarm to his mind.

Unlike those ghosts whose breath became hazy to hide themselves, this ghost carried an undisguised, astonishing and pure killing intent.

But without a doubt.

"—it's winding."

The author has something to say:

come here come (rub hands)

It’s been really cold recently, so I just wrote Brother Purgatory to warm up (?)
