The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

Originally after Zhushi died, Yushiro also wanted to leave with him.

But under Kamado Tanjiro's persuasion, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide, and together with Chacha Wan became the last ghost in the world.

After taking care of Zhu Shi's relics and funeral affairs, he began to learn painting.

Zhu Shi likes painting very much. No matter how dark the environment he lives in, there is always a landscape picture hanging in the room. It may be because he misses the days of enjoying the scenery in the sun, or he simply likes these delicate works.

So after losing his job as her assistant, Yushiro also began to try this art, and before he knew it, all the contents of his paintings became Miss Zhushi.

Time and time again, put the thoughts in my heart on the tip of the pen.

Zhu Shi didn't leave anything behind, except for the sorted medical notes, there was only a letter to Yushiro, expressing his deep gratitude to him and letting him take care of himself and so on.In addition, he didn't even say how to arrange the funeral, so Yushiro erected a monument for her near the cemetery of the ghost killing team members, in which Miss Zhushi's favorite kimono and favorite kimono were buried. of a painting.

The establishment of this tomb is not so much for Zhushi, but for Yushiro himself. Perhaps the cemetery has always been built for the living, because it needs a place to pay homage, otherwise the grief will not be put.

I still remember that it was a certain day a hundred years ago. After dark, he set off for the cemetery, deliberately staggered other people who came to worship, and stepped into it.

Then, while praying that Ms. Zhushi, who was once a ghost, would be forgiven by the gods, she silently put down a bouquet of flowers, just like the past few years.

But just this time, he sensed a strange force remaining nearby.

That feels a lot like vampirism, but how is it possible?After the tragic death of Oni Wu Tsuji, all the ghosts he created disappeared, except for himself and Chachawan, so the power definitely did not come from ghosts, but something else.

Relying on his keen senses as a ghost, Yushiro followed the power all the way out of the cemetery from the back door, and then walked into the deep forest under the moonlight, where he saw two people.

A man holding an oil-paper umbrella, and a dark... shadow-like child.

The moon was covered by dark clouds, and one could only vaguely see the child with a doll's head, wearing rough clothes, and his face was completely invisible. I don't know if it was because of the light, or there was only darkness there.

"...It's the best candidate for the human pillar." The man said unhurriedly, "Although there are not many left now, they can still become good material after they are reincarnated."

Before approaching them, Yushiro had already pasted a charm on his forehead that could hide his figure, and hid behind a bush, but the child still turned his head, probably looking at where he was.

"Brother?...or should I be called Uncle?" The voice was unrecognizable male and female, with a bit of blame in its innocence, "What are you doing here?"

Yushiro didn't make a sound, but the child continued: "Isn't it bad behavior to follow others secretly? Come on, don't hide, come out from there, and I will forgive you when you come out."

At this time, the man with the umbrella next to him also turned his head. He looked about 50 to [-] years old, with a fashionable mustache under his nose, a serious face, and a row of sutures on his forehead.

The moment he saw the man's face, Yushiro felt a chill.

Can't go wrong.

This guy is not human, and certainly not a ghost, but something even worse.

There was no point in continuing to hide himself, he took off the spell of invisibility, and approached the two vigilantly.

"Is it a ghost? I didn't expect there to be a surviving case, but it looks quite weak." The older man touched his chin, his eyes seemed to be looking at something, "Shouldn't it be necessary? What do you think?" ?”

"What are you guys doing in that cemetery?"

"Are you angry, Uncle Ghost?" The black child tilted his head, put his hands behind his back, and cleared his throat——

"With such a voice, will you still be angry?"

The moment he heard those words again, Yushirou's pupils, which were originally disguised as humans, suddenly stood up, and he stood there in a daze, his mind blank.

That is……

Is that Miss Zhu Shi's voice?

What did they do to Miss Zhu Shi?

No, why would they know...

After the initial bewilderment, a monstrous anger surged into his mind.

"If I'm not mistaken, have you heard the voice of your loved one?" When the child spoke, he returned to the unrecognizable voice of men and women before, "Hell most reflects the fear of the human heart, and what you fear most , is something I can do.”

Yushirou's throat was already filled with the smell of blood, but even so, he forced himself to calm down when he heard the last threat.

"Who the hell are you?"

"If I tell you, can you play with me?"

"Let me just remind you." The man stopped, "We have to prepare for the ceremony quickly, and don't forget about business."

"That is, you want to stop me?" The child still used an innocent tone.

"No, I just don't want to waste your time."

"Well... that's right."

Afterwards, the man holding the umbrella turned his head to look at Yushiro: "Then let's take our leave first, oh yes, my name is Kamo Xianren."

"...Why did you tell me?"

"Because if there are no accidents, you can also see the results." A smile suddenly appeared on that zombie-like lifeless face, "Please look forward to the day when the people you are familiar with are made into human pillars and the gate of the abyss is opened. "

As soon as the words fell, Yushiro felt a pain in the back of his head, and some kind of force he couldn't see or feel struck hard, knocking him unconscious.

In a daze of vision, he saw the man named Kamo Kenron take out an old flute that had been cut in two from his sleeve.

"This is a good thing. It can be used as the center of the ceremony. Go there quickly."

"What about this ghost?" the black child asked.

"If he can wake up and escape before the sun appears, then I have some expectations for his future..."

Afterwards, Yushiro's consciousness fell into darkness.

……

The happiness of the survivors is hard-won.

Even Yushiro, who blatantly dislikes human beings and lives in isolation, always keeps these words in his heart.

So for the next hundred years, he didn't tell anyone about this matter, not even Teriyaki Teriya who often came and went.It’s just that I investigated in private, and it took a long time. I found out the existence of the magic world, and it took a long time. I insisted on training the most basic perception of spells in the body of a ghost, and combined my blood ghost spell and spell power. Completed the most basic integration.

And not long ago, the key to victory was found.

Back to the present, in the turbulent hell car, Yushiro began to move towards the front of the car.

In any case, I can't end here, even if it's for Miss Zhu Shi who doesn't know if there is reincarnation at this time, even if it's for the ghosts of those ghost killers.

Soon, a second wedge was found in the corner of the ceiling of the first car, and Yushiro easily pulled it out, and then turned to investigate the others.

……

If it is said that after the first wedge was pulled out, the carriage began to become rusty and dilapidated, then after the second wedge was pulled out, there were more changes that were difficult to comprehend with common sense.

Kanae followed Chachawan's perspective and walked in the hell car. She saw that the handles on the top of the car's ring had turned into human hands, and there were holes in the car wall. It's frightening.

She has lived in an ordinary and happy family since she was a child. Although she has learned some knowledge about "that world" from Oribe Yasunaga, who joined the Folklore Research Institute at a young age, in the folklore society, but Essentially a common sense person.

So now it's weird.

Kanae put one hand on her heart, and found that there was no other reaction except for a slight acceleration.

These horrific sights seemed to be 'not the first contact'.

why do i feel this way

Before she could figure it out, she suddenly saw something outside the car coming in through the hole in the window. It was a gray human figure that looked like a child, with a mouth full of sharp teeth opened wide, her eyes were red, and her head was turned upside down towards Chacha. Maru's direction crawled over.

Oops.

Kanae became nervous and signaled Chachamaru to go back to Yushiro first. The cat obediently walked through the dilapidated carriage dexterously, running from the third carriage all the way to the front of the car.

And in the middle of passing by, it saw a woman with a single ponytail in a white cloak, who was standing intently in front of a box on the wall that was sealed with layers of charms, and seemed to be thinking about it. wearing something.

Chachawan glanced back, the silent evil spirit was chasing after him, his movements were as agile as some kind of spider that was good at bouncing.

Need to remind her.

Kanae panicked, and in desperation, she stopped to share the view with Chachawan, and looked out the window, only to see that there were many evil spirits lying on the outside of the parallel train, and just opposite her, she happened to be able to see the woman figure.

So familiar.

Do I know her?

Seeing the evil spirit pounced over, the long-haired female college student suddenly blurted out the name:

"Kanai! Be careful!"

Lihua Luoxiangnai seemed to have heard her call, and turned her head suddenly. At the same time, the saber at her waist was unsheathed, and it chopped off the attacker's head with a single blow. Those things wailed and quickly dissipated into smoke. , was probably sent back to the depths of hell.

Before Kanae had time to relax, she suddenly saw an evil spirit lying outside the car on the opposite side suddenly turned its head 180 degrees and looked at her.

"what!?"

"Idiot! Didn't I tell you to keep quiet!? These things will hear you!"

Yushiro also noticed the situation here, and deliberately amplified his voice to reprimand, but he was unable to attract the attention of the evil spirit.

It already realized that there were souls left behind on the car of the living, so it jumped lightly and climbed in through the gap in the window.

Cold sweat dripped from the corner of Kanae's forehead, and she didn't have time to think about what she might know about Lihualuo Kanaihu. She held her breath and retreated quietly step by step, avoiding the evil spirit that seemed human but not human.

If it weren't for the invisibility charm given to her by Yushiro on her forehead, she might have been caught long ago.

What the hell is this?

She covered her mouth and backed away, and at this moment, she stepped on an umbrella that someone dropped to the ground.

He almost exclaimed, but fortunately he stabilized his figure in time, and the umbrella rolled to the other side, merging with the sound of the train shaking.

Kanae breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to confirm the situation, but at that moment, almost at the place where her face was next to her, she saw the magnified face of another evil spirit.

Her scalp was numb as if it had exploded, and she suddenly fell back on the ground, blurting out an exclamation uncontrollably, and at this moment, a color like the scorching sun flashed in front of her.

"God of Fire Kagura—Waldancing Flash!"

The color was too dazzling in this dark and gloomy carriage, Kanae couldn't help but close her eyes, and then, she heard the sound of thunder tearing through the air one after another.

"Are you OK?"

When he opened his eyes again, a young man with a scar on his forehead was standing in front of him, with red eyes in black, and earrings in the style of flower buds on his ears.

"Thank you! I'm fine..."

Kanae stood up quickly. She looked around and found that the evil spirits nearby were all dealt with by the young man in an instant.

Seems like something similar happened 'once'.

Fear was suppressed by more and more doubts. She was thinking about it when she saw two other figures rushing over.

It was a young man with brown hair, and a boy who looked similar to the person who saved him.

"You are Ms. Kosaki Kanae, right?" the young man said to her, "Well, my name is Fangishi Haruaki, a friend of Oribe Yasunaga, here are Mr. Kamado Tanjiro and Kamado Tanhiko,

We're here to help resolve the situation. "
