As we all know, winding zero is a human being

When Zero arrived at the scene of the crime, the battle was over, or it could not be called a battle.

Can it be called a battle if there are back and forth? The one-sided situation in front of us is really unacceptable.

The only surviving preparatory swordsman Hirindao was thrown aside, he could only dodge the attack of the ghost in embarrassment, his face was so bad that it couldn't be worse. Like the joy of hunting, the arms stretched out from the mud-like body did not attack the vitals at all.

It's not that he's too good, but that this ghost really shouldn't be here.

"Water Breath · One Shape · Water Surface Slash."

People will always influence each other, just like Yoshiyuki Sato who learned something amazing from him, influenced by the atmosphere of Fujishiyama, Zero also called out the moves.

And the reason is not just that, if you make some noise, it can give the preparatory swordsman who is being hunted down a little bit of motivation to live.

"!"

The extremely smooth sharp edge cut off the hand that was about to grab the target, and Zero landed lightly on the ground, asking in a low voice without looking back: "Can you still run?"

There is not much time until sunrise, so they don't need to waste time tangling here.

The ghost in front of him doesn't seem to be at the level that should appear in the trial. The huge size makes Zero wonder where he can hide from the sun during the day, and the hands covering the vital parts of his neck are obviously a life-saving ghost. guy.

However, before the prepared swordsman who had just escaped from the danger answered his question in shock, the ghost in front of him laughed maniacally as if he had met his long-awaited target.

"Come, come, come, it's my cute little fox who came—"

Zero: "Who the hell is your little fox."

Disgusting redundancies.

The hand ghost who was interrupted and dismissed by him was not angry. Instead, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling like funny. jpg, and he didn't know whether his expression was more disgusting or the densely packed arms that could be big or small. People's san value dances wildly.

"No. 12, you're the one I'm about to eat, that bastard Rinaki's No. 12 little fox—"

Zero knew that he had found the culprit when the hand ghost said Mr. Rinaki's name.

His expression didn't change, and the arc of his mouth hidden under the mask was the same as usual.

Just without warning, the wind soon changed.

Zero's figure reappeared after the spikes along the straight line, like ripples on the water surface, flashed past. Facts have proved that the physical protection caused by the hand protecting the neck is quite effective.

The hand ghost didn't care about his arm that was poked out of the hole, and he recovered from the injury in the blink of an eye, still teasing unconsciously: "It's so dangerous, why is the little fox so impatient this time, and won't let me finish my sentence?" ?”

"It's nothing more than your recognition of the breathing method." Zero weighed the sun blade in his hand, watching the sky from the corner of his eye, "And I don't really want to hear about the grievances between you and Mr. Rinaki."

"Why, you don't call that bastard teacher?" Hand Ghost seemed to sense something was wrong, but he didn't pay attention to other emotions, "But it doesn't matter, if you want to hate in hell, you can hate that bastard, it's him I handed over this mask to you with my own hands."

"Disaster relief mask...hehehe..."

After knowing the cause and effect, Zero, who was still thinking of handing it over to Sato and Giyuu to settle this grievance with his own hands, was taken aback.

I couldn't see his expression, but I could see the knuckles of his hand holding the knife turned white, and the slight trembling made the hand ghost couldn't help but want to laugh.

"It's because of this mask that I recognize you all—eh?"

Under the bleak sky, the arms that surrounded the hand ghost and fell in response made a slight puffing sound, and then turned into fly ash.

With one foot on his shoulder, Zero looked down at him.

Only the exposed eyes are cold.

"Why, don't you start running?"

The smile on the mask replaced his expression, and he pointed to the brightly colored sky: "The sun is about to come out, so the identity should be reversed, right?"

The soft-spoken tune sounds like a reminder to the hand ghost, and the daylight that suddenly becomes more intense following Zero's words is about to come oncoming.

The hand ghost really wants to shout out: who the hell is the evil ghost? !

With a scream, he tightly wrapped his neck and his entire head with his reborn arms, and the too weird and fast moves had only now caused burning pain in the wound, but he could recognize it, that was indeed true. It is water breathing.

Not knowing whether it was out of fear of the young swordsman in front of him who had a completely different style from the Demon Slayer Squad or out of fear of the sun, the hand ghost turned around and ran away.

He didn't even dare to release his arms to attack again, for fear that if one was released, one would be missing.

Chasing after Hand Ghost unhurriedly, and occasionally throwing a knife, as if expelling a flock of grazing sheep, Zero stared at Hand Ghost like this without saying a word, until he hid in a deep cave and then stopped. .

The sound of dull footsteps echoed in the mountains.

The preparatory swordsman who was chased away by the hand ghost earlier also came after him. The young man took a deep breath and thanked him. After thanking him, he couldn't stop looking into the cave: "Did that ghost run away?"

"Well, it's a pity that he ran away."

Looking at the disgraced young man who was leaning on a knife and struggling to keep up, Zero came back to his senses.

Although he expected that the oni hiding in Fujishiyama might have some way to identify the disciple trained by Mr. Rinaki, but when the hand demon complacently and maliciously pointed at the disaster relief mask, he really couldn't help it.

That's not just something that entrusts the simplest wish of the trainer, who just wants the disciple to return safely.

There was a trace of regret in the eyes of the rescued boy. He was at a loss and remained silent for a while. After the previous panic passed, his expression gradually became resolute.

Seeing that he was fine, Zero nodded, and then slowly said as if he had thought of something: "Take time to rest for a while during the day, if you can't hold on anymore, it's not shameful to leave Fujishishan earlier thing."

It is also because this is the final selection of the last traditional form that he has such a caring sentence. The boys and girls who come here are all about the same age, and the young ones are fine.

It would be a pity to die here.

However, after hearing his words, the young man just paid attention to his savior with some hesitation: "...No, there was never a deserter in the final assessment of Teng Shishan."

Ling Yi was speechless for a while, because he was really tired about the disaster relief mask, and he forgot one thing for a while.

Even Sabito and Giyu, they came here with the belief that they would kill all the oni.

And this is actually the belief embraced by the vast majority of those who participated in the selection.

After finally calming down a little bit, he also apologized a little in his heart for his behavior, and he didn't know if Satogi Giyuu would be angry if he knew what he was thinking.

Hmm, let him rot in his stomach about this matter, no matter what, ghosts who have a grudge against Mr. Lin Taki should die at the hands of their seniors, that's what it means to have a beginning and an end.

Thinking of this, Zero heard the boy hesitantly say: "I heard, I heard the conversation between you and that ghost——"

Zero who thought he was talking about the fact that he deliberately released water: "..."

What, we can actually be friends without talking.

Maybe there is no coincidence in this world, just when he wanted to reason with the boy, the sound of steady footsteps gradually approached, and then a lock of pink hair appeared from behind the tree.

Sato was holding the knife, his face was a little tired but he still laughed: "I just said, I heard your voice from such a distance!"

Of course he was very happy to see him suddenly looking like he had killed several ghosts safely, even when he had just walked a few steps closer, he heard Sato ask the boy behind him: "So that ghost What did you tell him?"

Zero's eyes inevitably widened: "!"

He was really careless, he didn't expect that such a thick-eyed and big-eyed person would also learn to play around!

The boy rescued by Zero stared at Satoshi's disaster relief mask for a while, and then spoke with some sadness in his tone: "It's not your teacher's fault, nor, nor is it the fault of this mask."

This sentence was spoken without beginning or end, and subconsciously relieved that he could understand it, and then he understood the meaning behind the boy's clumsy sentence.

Although he didn't think so, and there was nothing to shake, but the feeling of being comforted was not bad.

Zero blinked in Satoshi's puzzled eyes and explained to him, while pointing to the masks they were wearing: "The ghost I met, he said that he has been hunting swordsmen wearing disaster relief masks , specifically why he did this..."

Seeing Satu's serious and gradually serious expression, Lingyi shrugged: "I'm not interested in this, I didn't finish listening to him."

Satoshi: "..."

After a perfect gasp, Zero looked at him and held back a smile, then said, "However, apart from Mr. Rinaki's capture of Fujishiyama, what kind of enmity can there be between them?"

Although Satoshi is already used to his character, he can't stand it anymore. Although the last half of the normal sentence brought the topic back, the boy with pink long hair thought about it, and he always felt that he heard something. What's going on with the overtones.

"In short, this is the most important thing that happened in the past two days?"

Fortunately, he was able to complete Mr. Rinaki's entrustment in only two-sevenths of the time. After they returned smoothly, his favor will be repaid!

Thinking of this trainer who always leaves a serious impression upon first contact but is actually gentle and tight, it is hard for Zero to say that this has nothing to do with him.

Mr. Rinaki is always quite hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and the food he cooks is really delicious.

The real face under the mask is very gentle.

Sato looked at Ling Fang for a long time without saying a word, thinking that this was normal for his little friend, so he had no choice but to ask: "Which direction did that ghost go?"

"Well... it's this cave, but if you chase it in, forget it."

There were questions and answers, and on this question, Zero even described the appearance of a hand ghost to him.

He has also learned a thing or two about Hand Ghost's strength, even if the other party still has secrets, he believes that it will not be Satu's opponent.

While talking, Zero took a step back and tilted his head to look at Satu, always feeling a sense of disobedience——

Oh, he seems to have discovered where the sense of disobedience has gone.

"Sakura, where did Giyong go?"
