[Blade of Demon Slayer] Half-Ghost

When it came to the final selection site, there were many people inside.Not long after they arrived, before they had time to look around, a pair of twins said to them in unison: "Everyone..."

Rei Matsuma and Tanjiro looked over after hearing the sound, and the two said to them in unison: "Thank you for coming to participate, tonight's final selection for the Demon Slayer Team."

The white-haired girl said alone: ​​"In this mountain of vines, the ghosts captured alive by the swordsmen of the ghost killing team are imprisoned. The ghosts cannot leave here."

"Because the mountain is in full bloom all year round from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. The wisteria flowers that ghosts hate very much."

After the black-haired girl shut up, the white-haired girl I continued: "But, there will be no wisteria flowers from here up, and there will be ghosts."

The black-haired girl said again: "Survival in this mountain for seven days is the qualification for the final selection."

After she finished, someone bowed to them: "Good luck everyone."

Looking at the two people bowing, Ryo Matsuma said to Tanjiro: "Let's go, let's go."

"Okay!" Tanjiro replied seriously.

Soon after entering the venue, they solved many ghosts.Tanjiro's approach is very gentle, so he is not as decisive as Matsuma Ryo.

That's right, every time Matsuma Ling made a move, he didn't have the slightest scruples, and sent them to hell for atonement in the cleanest way.As a result, blood spattered everywhere she passed, and the screams of ghosts continued.

Tanjiro hesitated to speak, and finally he couldn't help but said: "Xiao Ling, why don't we take a rest first."

Hearing this, Ryo Matsuma wiped off the blood on the knife, and looked at Tanjirou quietly.After a long time, she sighed: "Okay."

They rested for a while, got up quickly and continued on their way.As she was walking forward, Tanjiro suddenly covered her mouth and nose, Matsuma Ryo was puzzled, she also smelled the pungent smell, so she frowned slightly.

Suddenly, a boy's terrified cry came from the side: "Wooah!!"

"Why such a huge monster appears, I have never heard of it!"

The boy with the knife staggered past them both.At this moment, his face turned pale with fear.

And behind him, the two looked in that direction, a pool of black was surging, dozens of twisted and disgusting limbs were stacked on top of each other.

This is the source of the stench they just smelled, a ghost as huge as a hill.

"What is that?" Tanjiro asked in shock, and Matsuma Ryo's slightly heavy voice came: "It's a ghost."

After the ghost took a few steps forward, it moved the person holding one of its hands towards its mouth, and finally raised its head to eat it.

Then his whole body gradually grew a little bigger, as if eating people could increase his strength.The boy who fell to the ground screaming before quickly got up and ran forward.

The ghost suddenly stretched out its arms, chased after the boy, and finally grabbed his ankle and pulled him up.

Seeing that the boy was about to be eaten, Matsuma Ling originally planned to make a move, but thinking of what the master said, she let go of the hand that was holding the knife handle tightly.

[You can't always be by his side.Tanjiro needs to grow up.Reality will teach him what to do. ]

Almost the moment he let go of the hilt, Tanjiro raised the sword and attacked the demon.He cut off the boy's hand, and both the boy and Tanjiro fell to the ground safely.

The ghost noticed the fox masks on the heads of Tanjirou and Matsuma Ryo, and said excitedly: "Here it is again, my cute little foxes, this time there are two, I'm so happy. "

Tanjiro asked suspiciously, "Again?"

The ghost didn't answer and asked instead: "Fox boy, how old is Meiji now?"

"It's the Taisho Era now." Tanjiro answered truthfully although he was puzzled.

"Dazheng?" Suddenly the ghost yelled, and ran away immediately: "The year name, the year name has changed." The fingers on its body started to grab itself unconsciously, drawing bloodstains.

"I've been imprisoned for such a long time, and the year name has changed again! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!" Suddenly, the name that they were very familiar with was spoken in its mouth, their master - Zuojiro Rinaki.

They also learned that the senior sisters and senior brothers before they came, including Xi Mianzhen, were all eaten by it here.

At this moment, Tanjiro's eyes lost their usual gentleness, and his brows were severely suppressed.His lips were tightly pressed at this moment, and the veins on both sides of his forehead were bulging.

Matsuma Ling was very sad and angry at the moment, but she still remained calm.She knew that the ghost was using aggressive tactics, if she was not careful, not only would she not be able to avenge her seniors, but the two of them would also risk their lives.

Even though the current ones are much stronger than their previous selves, they are still far behind.

Ryo Matsuma ran to Tanjiro quickly, and shouted to him: "Don't be disturbed by its words!" But she still took a step too late, Tanjirou's clothes slipped through her pinched fingertips, and he rushed towards the grinning of evil spirits.

Tanjiro, who had already come to the hand ghost, swung his sword at it uninterruptedly, including angry and fierce attacks, and cut off several of its arms.

But this level of damage is far from enough to kill the ghost.In the breath, those severed arms had recovered to their original state, and then they were knotted together and swung towards Tanjiro's defenseless gap!

Seeing this, Ryo Matsuma pushed his left foot hard, jumped up and reached out to grab Tanjiro's clothes.Push the other toe forward a little bit, and the two back together.

After jumping backwards for a long distance, it escaped the attack of that giant arm.The ghost, who had shot away, glared at them viciously, twisted and stretched its arms, and grabbed at the two of them again.

The two jumped up quickly, dodging the punch it threw.After the ghost's arm fell again, it grew angrier and swung at them again before they even landed.

Seeing that the fist was about to fall on them, Matsuma Ling seized the time to use the ghost's breath style to restrain the fist before escaping.

What is very strange is that this time the attack failed, the evil ghost did not become more angry because of it, but calmed down a lot, and said to them: "You really cunning little foxes..."

Its deformed eye rolled, and finally settled on Matsuma Ling, and then it smiled and said: "Then kill you first! The little fox that seems to be very strong, I don't know if your smell will Will it satisfy me?"

As soon as the last word was pronounced, it attacked Matsuma Ling.

It's a pity that Ling Matsuma won't let him catch it so easily, and it, which was originally calm, became irritable again.

Ling Matsuma didn't feel the life-threatening uneasiness on it, so he wasn't afraid.But it's really tricky, whether it's the quick recovery, or the mouth that likes to poke people's scars.

Although it was strong in both points, she discovered its fatal weakness during this short period of confrontation.Its mobility is very low, or even almost zero.

Her eyes pointed to Tanjiro, and Tanjiro, who had been with her for a long time, understood the meaning of her eyes.

Rei Matsuma cut off the approaching arm with her keen speed.After getting closer, she jumped up and chopped at the ghost's neck, but it didn't cut off as she expected.

The ghost thought he had won, and said to her: "It's a pity, you and your senior brother with the scar on his face made the same mistake. Just like your senior brother, I will crush your head and die!"

Ryo Matsuma continued the previous action, after chopping off his arm, he fell down by gravity, revealing Tanjiro who jumped up behind him with a knife raised.

The ghost hurriedly wanted to protect his neck, but his arms had already been cut off by Song Jianling, and it was too late to regenerate within a few seconds.

It could only watch helplessly as the young man in mid-air who was dressed in a water wave feather weave slashed at it.

[Water Breathing, One Shape, Slashing on the Water Surface. ]

For a moment, blood splashed everywhere, and the cold blade chopped off the evil spirit's head.

Suddenly, a memory that did not belong to her appeared in Ling Matsuma's mind.

After it finished playing, Matsuma Ling took a deep breath and looked at the disappearing ghost body.

She stepped forward together with Tanjiro, and put her hand on the hand that Shinshin had not had time to strike at them, which was now held high.

I saw that ghostly hand, unconsciously tightened, and returned to hold the hands of the two.

Matsuma Ling felt something cold across his cheek at that moment.

Tanjiro said at this time: "God, please bless him. Let him not become a ghost again when he is reincarnated as a human again."

The memory clip was shown again, showing a child running towards his elder brother, who grabbed his hand and held up a lantern, and the two walked towards home together.

She thought, that child should be the evil ghost just now.

After the ghost completely disappeared, Ling Matsuma opened his eyes.

【A very evil ghost was once a kind person.However, due to some reasons, they became like this, which they could not choose. 】

Afterwards, before they killed the ghost, they all asked how the ghost changed from a ghost to a human being, but none of them answered them.During this selection trip, they didn't ask for any useful information other than skill improvement.

The morning sun shone into the forest, and the two came to the previous intersection together.In the final selection this time, only seven people came out.

Regarding this result, although Ling Matsuma had expected it in his heart, he inevitably felt sad.

A low-level ghost requires the cooperation of several ordinary people to kill it.Moreover, human beings are injured and cannot recover immediately like ghosts.

If the ghost cannot be completely killed and let it escape, all the previous efforts of human beings will be in vain. Such reasons have created the current situation.

The twin children from before had already stood there, waiting for their arrival.

She was still the same as before, introducing each of them sentence by sentence, telling them that they had passed the selection.

Next, they will be measured for their size. On their team uniforms, there is only the level of the ghost killing team embroidered.Now they are all the lowest level Gui.

Immediately afterwards, a crow was arranged for each of them to communicate with each other and issue new tasks.

In addition to the person who was rescued by them, there were also a few people who survived by virtue of their own abilities.The silent girl, the boy with a unique hairstyle, and the fierce boy with a scar on his face.

The scarred boy roared: "I don't care about the broken crow!"

Immediately afterwards, he beat the white-haired girl's head hard, grabbed her hair, and lifted her up: "Knife, what I want is a knife, the "color-changing knife" of the Ghost Killing Squad, now give the knife to me immediately." I!"

Before he could utter the second sentence, Tanjiro grabbed his wrist, and Ryo Matsuma strangled the boy's neck fiercely with his right arm from behind.

"Let go of her." Tanjiro met his eyes with a serious expression, the scar boy felt the cold wind blowing from behind, Matsuma Ryo said lightly: "If you don't let go, I'll break your neck right now. "

Although the young man was afraid, he felt that the strength of the two was not much stronger than his own, so he said to them: "Then give it a try."

Seeing that he was stubborn, Ling Matsuma slowly tightened his right arm with a calm expression.Feeling that his life was in danger, the boy let go of the white-haired girl's hair and shook off Tanjirou's hand.

Seeing him let go, Song Jianling naturally backed away, and the man looked at Song Jianling with fear in his eyes.

The black-haired girl waited until the turmoil was over before she said lightly: "Have you finished speaking?"

Although the scarred boy was unwilling, he was afraid of Song Jianling from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't dare to make any more moves.

"Now that everyone is done chatting, please choose the steel used to make the saber." On the wooden table beside the two of them, there were more than a dozen pieces of jade steel of different sizes.

Matsuma Ling didn't care about this, he picked a piece of jade steel that was suitable for his eyes, and handed it to the black-haired girl.

After everyone had been selected, the two girls saluted them, indicating that the selection was over and everyone could go home, and the saber would be delivered in fifteen days.

After taking the team uniform, the two set foot on the way back.

"It's finally over." Matsuma Ling sighed.

"Yeah, I don't know if Nezuko has woken up." Tanjiro couldn't help worrying in his heart.

Rei Matsuma turned her head to look at Tanjiro, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Mame will wake up."

Tanjiro nodded heavily: "Yes! Nezuko will definitely wake up..." Before he finished speaking, his knees suddenly bent, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Matsuma Ling had quick eyes and quick hands, pulled him back, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"

"Suddenly I feel heavy..."

Because his nerves have been tense for the past few days, although he has rested, he hasn't slept well.

Thinking of this, Ryo Matsuma hugged Tanjiro directly, anyway, she still had enough strength: "Tanjiro, you can rest, I'm not tired yet."

Perhaps because of being too tired, Tanjiro didn't realize that he was being hugged by the princess right now.

"Thank you then, Xiaoling." Looking at the confused Tanjirou, Matsuma Ryo showed a kind smile on his face.

【Kawaii!I miss rua so much!no!I want to hold it, Tanjiro is the older brother. 】

In this way, Matsuma Ryo, with complicated feelings, and Tanjiro, who had entered his dream, headed for Master Rinaki's residence.
