I live longer than the incomparable
Chapter 52 Natural Disasters and Man-made Disasters
The biggest difference between natural disasters and man-made disasters is that the former cannot be avoided, while the latter can be controlled.
But what they encountered now was a real natural disaster.
Unable to control, unable to intervene, even unable to resist, can only bear its coming powerlessly.
Lingyun Pavilion collapsed much faster than expected, probably because of the height, and the movement of the collapse was better than any place in Asakusa—but the scope of this natural disaster spread was not limited to Asakusa.
The eight hundred bhikkhuni and Onimai Tsuji were on the highest floor, and the shock they felt was even stronger.When she was about to lose her footing, Babaichuni subconsciously looked at Guiwu Tsuji Wumi, but was unexpectedly embraced by the other party.
The Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni leaning on his arms saw his frowning tightly.
The top two floors of Lingyun Pavilion are made of wooden structures, and the wooden blocks that fell from the cracks have sharp thorns, but they were bounced off by invisible forces when they were about to touch Guiwu Tsuji and the others.
And the Eight Hundred Bhikkuni who was held in his arms completely avoided any harm.
In fact, they are not afraid of this level of harm. Neither Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi nor Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni will feel a sense of crisis due to this level of [natural disaster].
But in the next second, their location changed.
No matter from any point of view, Naruto is an excellent ghost-has a very practical blood ghost technique, can be on call when Kiwu Tsuji needs her, and most importantly... speaks very little.
So you don't have to be afraid of being dismembered by Ghost Dance Tsuji Wuyou if you are unhappy, and you don't have to worry about making the original ghost angry if you say something wrong.
After Lingyun Pavilion opened the interface to Infinity City, she didn't even let herself appear in front of Gui Wu Tsuji Wumi and Eight Hundred Bikuni - it can be said that the skill of observing words and emotions has reached the highest level.
The [Infinite City] created by Naruto's blood ghost technique is a space independent of any place in the true sense.
Surrounded by large and small wooden Japanese rooms, they exist in this space in a distorted and messy arrangement. Wooden stairs connect some rooms and floors, making this space even more unpredictable.
There was no sound around, it was too quiet.
Especially compared to the sound of the building collapsing and the ground cracking that was still lingering in my ears just now, the shouts of the crowd mixed in it made the silence at this moment even more abrupt.
After realizing that Onimai Tsuji had no intention of letting go of her, Bhikkhuni raised her eyelids and looked at him.
Then I saw the gloom on his face and the scarlet vertical pupils in his eyes.
Oni Wu Tsuji was in a very bad mood at this time—it could even be regarded as full of anger.
If he was offended by someone, he could still use the other person to vent his anger, but this time it was not a real person who angered him—it was a real natural disaster.
Its arrival completely disrupted Ghost Mai Tsuji's plan.
In fact, if he just wanted to take the Eight Hundred Bhikkuni to the twelfth floor of Asakusa to see the scenery, then even if such a natural disaster happened, it would at most just make Kimai Tsuji feel a little disappointed.
But his ideas don't stop there.
Guiwu Tsuji Wumi took her to Lingyun Pavilion, but he actually had other intentions.
That day, he pretended to be a woman, and when he wanted to do something with the eight hundred bhikkhuni, he suddenly met the eight hundred bhikkhuni's indifferent gaze. Realized something very important.
[What is the relationship between Oni Wu Tsuji and the eight hundred bhikunis? 】
He suddenly thought of this question.
Although he has always known that the eight hundred bhikkhuni has an unusual status in his mind, this is the first time that Gui Wu Tsuji has seriously thought about what the eight hundred bhikkhuni is.
He thought of an answer.
【wife. 】
It was just to hide among the crowd as a human being, but the fictitious relationship made at this moment made Onimai Tsuji want to turn it into reality.
And this is also the first time that Ghost Dance Tsuji Wucan really wants to recognize her status.
It is not a vague concept like "special person", but a real and specific identity that can be expressed by a certain title.
When thinking of this, Onimai Tsuji suddenly remembered that when he was running a trading company, he had also discussed business with many humans in a serious manner.
That's when he met a very special human being.
Different from those people in the past who wanted to invite him to dinner or have fun after negotiating the contract, trying to curry favor with him, the human being who had always been expressionless during the negotiation, heard that the secretary of Ghost Dance Tsuji Musai When she whispered to him, "Madam said that she will wait for you to have dinner together", he suddenly changed the indifference of the few polite words just now.
"Are you married?" the human asked him.
Oni Wu Tsuji was a little surprised by his superior hearing, squinted his eyes, and reluctantly replied: "Yes."
Hearing this, the human being smiled and touched his finger——on his ring finger, he was wearing a silver ring.
In fact, this is a custom passed down from the West. Couples will wear a pair of rings of the same style on their ring fingers to show outsiders the fact that they are married.Nowadays, the speed of Westernization in China is getting faster and faster, especially for people like them, who have undergone fundamental changes in their living habits.
"You must be a good husband." The human touched the ring on his hand and said to him suddenly.
Oni Wu Tsuji, who was evaluated as a "good husband" all of a sudden, raised his eyebrows, showing some interest in this human being.
"Why do you say that?" he asked the human.
The human being lowered his eyes, as if thinking of something, he said: "I have heard of you before, and the most common thing I hear is that you are young and promising but clean, whether you are invited to dinner or to play, No one has ever been successful."
He looked at Guiwu Tsuji: "Things like wine and sex are not attractive to you."
Although he has never put human beings in his eyes, and he did not agree to the invitations of those human beings just because he looked down on them, but it was the first time he heard someone make such an evaluation in front of him, and it was also a shame for Onimai Tsuji. Novel experience.
"Really?" Onimai Tsujimu responded dismally.
Hearing that the human's eyes fell on his hands, Gui Wu Tsuji's fingers were well-articulated, without any redundant parts, they were just right, as beautiful as finely carved handicrafts.
But there is nothing like that human being that can prove the fact that he is married.
"You must love her very much, right?" The human suddenly popped up such a question.
Hearing this, Onimai Tsuji Mucan only felt a little baffled.
"Even her existence must be carefully concealed, like a dragon hiding its beloved treasure."
Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou suddenly froze.
At that time, when he heard these remarks, he actually didn't have much emotion. It was like an ordinary episode, and he almost forgot it after listening to it.
But a few days ago, he suddenly remembered this matter again, and that question had been entrenched in his mind for a long time, so that Guiwu Tsuji couldn't even appear in front of Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis before he calmed down.
[You must love her very much, right? 】
It was such a question that lingered in Gui Wu Tsuji's mind.
Does he love Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni?Oni Wu Tsuji was also asking himself the same question.
Maybe it was indeed love—although it was not the same as that human's guess at the time.
At the beginning, it was not because he realized his [love] for her that he didn't let other humans know about her existence, but because he didn't care about and looked down on the lowly humans in his eyes, so he felt that there was no such thing. necessary.
But Guiwu Tsuji Wumi, who suddenly realized this, seemed to suddenly understand the reason why the eight hundred bhikkhunis were indifferent to him.
Just as the position of the Yabai bhikkuni in the mind of Oni Wu Tsuji is vague, he thought, in the mind of the Yabai bhikkhuni, the position of the ghost of Tsuji has probably always been in a state of ambiguity.
That's why Bhikkhuni Baba always treats him hot and cold, sometimes he seems to care, and sometimes he doesn't care.
Correspondingly, as long as the eight hundred bhikkuni know what she is in the mind of Gui Wu Tsuji, her attitude will definitely change accordingly.
Most of the time, Oni Wu Tsuji's ideas are actually very simple.
He has also always maintained such a simple idea-he wants the blue Bana flower, so he must find it no matter what, whether it is to win over eight hundred bhikkhuni or divide his own blood, and create a man who can find the blue Bhigan flower together with him. the ghost.
Realizing that Ji Guoyuan could threaten his life, he had to hide away until Ji Guoyuan died and then returned to the human world.
When he found out that Ji Guoyuanyi, who had been dead for many years, still handed down his own things, he would destroy that thing, as well as the person who brought it to him.
Then since he really regards the eight hundred bhikkhuni as his [wife], he should wear the same style of pair of rings on their ring fingers like those human beings.
Guiwu Tsuji was so unlucky that he had a bit of romantic thoughts. He originally planned to take the eight hundred bhikkhuni to Lingyun Pavilion first, where they could hardly be regarded as the first real [date], and put the ring on it. Wear it on her hand.
But... because of the natural disaster, his mind was completely lost.
Yabaichuni didn't know what Oni Wu Tsuji was thinking at this time, she only knew that the other party was silent for a long time, long enough to make her think of many things.
The prophecy, which has never been under her control, saw the tragic end of Gui Wu Tsuji.
Perhaps the collapse of Lingyun Pavilion triggered a similar future, and she saw the collapse of Infinite City.
In her foresight, the scene when the Infinite City collapsed was enough to move any human beings and evil spirits. She saw Naruto's death, and she also saw the tragic end of Kiwu Tsuji.
Humans die, and so do demons—without exceptions.
The only exception is the eight hundred bhikkhuni, she is a unique existence that seems to be favored by [life] and rejected by [death].
It's a pity that the [-]-year-old bhikkhuni has long been tired of living, and he is also tired of it... He Guiwu Tsuji Wumi continued this false [play house] game.
But Guiwu Tsuji Wucan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly made a move that surprised her deeply.
He let go of the eight hundred bhikkhuni, took out the small box from his pocket, put one of the rings on his ring finger, took her hand, and put the other ring on her hand superior.
Eight hundred bhikkhuni raised his eyes and looked at him: "What does this mean?"
Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou suddenly smiled, the gloom between her brows and eyes lessened, probably because her unresisting appearance slightly appeased his displeasure that his plan was disrupted.
Oni Wu Tsuji said to her: "I heard that human couples will wear a pair of rings with the same style on their fingers."
He just said that, and he took it for granted that Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni could understand what he meant.
There is an overinflated arrogance in Guiwu Tsuji Wumi, such arrogance makes him unable to see others clearly, and he cannot see himself clearly—he thinks that his actions at this time are enough to move eight hundred bhikkhunis.
But in fact, the eight hundred bhikkhunis regarded the pair of rings that he had carefully selected and specially ordered by others as the flowers and gifts that he had had on a whim in the past.
"Really." Eight Hundred Bhikkuni turned the ring on her finger and said softly, "It's pretty."
Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou lowered his head and gave her a kiss that he thought was gentle and without any warmth.
——*——
Nightmare, who got the blood from Onimai Tsuji Mumi, and after her strength increased, she also began to arrange a plan to kill the "little ghost wearing flower earrings" in the mouth of Oniwu Tsuji.
He can only succeed in this mission, not only for Lord Onimai Tsuji, but also for Lord Yabaichuni.
The conversation with the eight hundred bhikkhuni that night has always been engraved in Nightmare's heart. He often thinks of her face that is still young and beautiful after so many years, and her expressionless and indifferent appearance.
He suddenly wanted to enter her dream, and wanted to see what was hidden in the deepest part of her heart.
Before this dream can come true, he must first complete the task at this moment.
Reducing the scope of its hunt for humans, Nightmare confines its prey to the longest train—the Infinity Train.
He was standing on the roof at the front of the train, and the strong wind brought his hair and the hem of his clothes as the train moved.The black hem of the clothes draws irregular arcs in the same dark night, feeling the night breeze with a happy smile on his face.
He could already imagine how the human beings in the carriage would die tragically in a painful dream.
Never before had he seen any human being maintain peace of mind after the beautiful dream was shattered.
Just like what he showed in front of Babaichuni a few days ago, he mixed his own blood into ink, and then used that ink to make tickets, as long as he turned a few humans on the train into his own tool, then everything will run extraordinarily smoothly.
After all... No matter how hard the members of the Ghost Killing Squad try, they can't tell who is being lured/lured by the [ghost] just by smell.
Nightmare made a promise to the tools he selected, as long as they can enter the dreams of those ghost killers after they fall asleep, and then break the core of their dreams, let those ghost killers die in the dream, Then they can all get rewards from him.
The content of the [reward] is to let them live in a beautiful dream forever, and continue to live a happy life with the one they love and the family they have lost forever.
Human beings are too easy to deceive creatures most of the time. As the sleeping ghost who controls the dream, Nightmare knows this fact better than any ghost.
Abandoning reality for illusory dreams is nothing more than normal for these fragile human beings.
What's more, the dreams created by nightmares have always been difficult to distinguish between true and false.
He seemed to be able to see Master Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni fulfilling his promise and praising him after his success.
But his dream was burnt by the flaming knife.
The boy with the flower earrings with sun patterns on his ears stood in front of him with a knife raised.
"What do you think of human beings?" The boy clenched the Sun Wheel Knife tightly, and the voice of asking him was blown into his ears along the night wind.
Nightmare was surprised—it wasn't supposed to be like this.
His plan was already very careful and prudent, and even his own existence was not exposed to their eyes for the first time.But Kamado Tanjiro broke free from the dream.
"It's a tool." Nightmare was determined.
— or food.He added a little bit in his heart.
It is too difficult for a ghost who has no sympathy and compassion to understand how hard and strong human beings are.
But Tanjiro Kamado has been trying to understand everyone—even the oni.
In Kamado Tanjiro's view, all ghosts were once human beings.They used to live as humans, but in the end they lost human rationality and even memory, and became existences that even distorted themselves.
Ghosts are very poor creatures.
Tanjiro never denied this, and he never denied Oni's sorrow and pain.
However, this does not mean that because of their sorrow and pain, they can commit cruel acts to humans-the behavior of hurting others, whether it is a human being or a demon, cannot be forgiven.
So Kamado Tanjiro wanted to kill Nightmare here no matter what.
——but Nightmare escaped at the last moment.
Because no matter what, he wanted to return to the side of Eight Hundred Bhikkuni, because there was an existence that needed to be remembered, could exist in his heart, and would be remembered at the last moment—Nightmare left a way out for himself.
He once thought about merging himself with the entire Infinity Train, but before the idea could become a reality, he suddenly changed his mind.
He did fuse his body with the infinite train, but his real body remained in a hand that had been severed long ago. With that hand, he was able to escape from those ghost killers.
Oni Wu Tsuji had known about this failure as early as when he was escaping—he could know their thoughts and every move through the cells belonging to him left in the bodies of other ghosts.
Oni Wu Tsuji couldn't help being angry—especially when his behavior reminded him of himself when he ran away from Ji Guoyuan.
It was a cowardly act without any face left.
However, Gui Wu Tsuji did not immediately activate the restraint left in Nightmare's body to kill him, but stayed in the mansion in Kyoto and waited.
From the trajectory of Nightmare's actions that Guiwu Tsuji noticed, it is easy to judge where Nightmare wants to go at this moment.
——*——
The moonlight was as cool as water, and it fell on the empty courtyard—after the cherry blossoms were gone, the fun of the eight hundred bhikkhuni was limited to walking.
She stood under the lantern, raised her palm, and under the dim light, she could clearly see what she was wearing on her finger.
The silver ring is engraved with beautiful patterns, and those slender patterns are combined, and you can find it if you look closely - it is probably the pattern of the other shore flower.
The eight hundred bhikkhuni thought to himself that it was probably because of the pattern of the patterns that Gui Wu Tsuji had seen, that's why he wanted to buy this pair of rings.
His obsession with the cyan flower of the other side has not faded even after a thousand years.
At the moment when Babai Kuni was contemplating, someone came to her silently.
"Master Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni," although he tried his best to regain his human form on the way here, Nightmare's state at this time is worse than that of a low-level ghost.
He softly called the name of Eight Hundred Bhikkuni, obviously thinking a lot on the way, but when he saw her, he suddenly became unbelievably calm.
Eight hundred bhikkhuni looked at his face and suddenly understood something.
"You failed." She said lightly, with an affirmative tone.
"Ah..." Nightmare said, "You saw it."
He suddenly laughed again: "I'm still not strong enough..."
At the moment when his split body was beheaded, Nightmare suddenly remembered his identity—his identity as one of the lower strings.
He suddenly remembered what Master Kimai Tsuji said when he reprimanded them. He said: [After so many years, there has never been an oni who killed Zhuzhu in the winding down, and the one who can kill Zhu will always be the ghost in the winding . 】
It is for this reason that Lord Onimai Tsuji wants to disband the ghosts of the bow and take back the power given to them.
Although at that time, Master Kimai Tsuji kept him, and even gave him more blood, so that he could become the only ghost left, but...he still couldn't solve that pillar, and he couldn't solve it. Get rid of the little ghost that Ghost Mai Tsuji-sama said.
Only then did he suddenly understand that there was still such a huge gap between himself and the ghost of the string.
Eight hundred bhikkhuni saw Nightmare showing a normal expression, neither fascinated eyes nor flushed cheeks, and unexpectedly said a few more words to him.
She said: "Tong Mo also told me that he has become stronger."
Nightmare didn't know whether she was comforting or mocking, but no matter what kind of thinking she had, as long as she was willing to speak in front of him, it would be enough to make Nightmare feel that she came here for no reason.
But at the same time, he also realized that maybe in front of her, in her eyes... the appearance of those human beings in his eyes was not much different.
He suddenly wanted to ask her: "In your opinion..."
Before the words fell, something struck from the side, completely crushing the nightmare in the courtyard.
At the last moment, he saw the expression on Lord Eight Hundred Bikuni's face—it was still as calm and indifferent as usual.
Nightmare likes to see other people's despair, and likes to hear the wailing of human beings before they die. As a human being, he revealed these weirdnesses that are completely different from normal human beings and will not be accepted by normal human beings.
But when faced with his own death, Nightmare suddenly realized that... the despair that fell on him turned out to be this feeling.
He suddenly felt very satisfied again, without any regrets or nostalgia - the feeling of what he had been longing for all this time came to him, far better than any wailing he had heard in the past.
And the figure that caught his eyes at the last moment was also the person he wanted to see the most all along.
So that's the end of it, as far as Nightmare is concerned... no regrets.
——*——
The overly strong smell of blood permeated the entire courtyard in an instant, and even the eight hundred bhikkhuni who were some distance away from the nightmare could smell this overly strong smell.
She frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to go back to the room, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw a figure in front of her.
"Nightmare also failed." Onimai Tsujimu said dismally.
Eight hundred bhikkhuni didn't know the meaning of his words, raised his eyelids to look at him, and replied calmly: "Yes."
But Onimai Tsuji was not satisfied with this reaction.
He thought that he had given away the ring, and Bhikkhuni obediently put it on, which meant that she had accepted her status in his eyes, and it also meant that her attitude might change because of it.
But the reality proved that she didn't seem to have changed in any way.
Oni Wu Tsuji frowned, but he didn't know how to ask her. The strange silence lasted for a moment between them, and Oni Wu Tsuji Wu Mi still spoke.
"The ring...do you like it?"
Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni gave him a surprised look.
"like."
So the topic has reached an impasse.
Facts have proved that when one party does not want to continue a topic, no matter how hard the other party tries, it is just wishful thinking and self-righteousness.
But Ghost Dance Tsuji Mumi was obviously not the kind of existence who would greet him with a smile after being treated coldly—he would only frown even more uglyly.
Realizing that this topic is not suitable for the current situation, Ghost Mai Tsuji suddenly thought of another thing.
"Who do you think should be sent to solve this matter?"
He suddenly asked Eight Hundred Bhikkuni this question.
It has been a long time since Gui Wu Tsuji has not asked Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni about her foresight, nor has she asked her if she has seen anything recently, as if she had not placed any hope in her foresight ability for a long time.
Because of this, when Oni Wu Tsuji asked her this suddenly, her first reaction was that Oni Wu Tsuji was testing herself.
But in fact... Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi just changed the subject bluntly, without thinking too much at all.
Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni was silent for a moment: "Why do you have to kill him?"
Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou knew who the "he" was referring to.But the reason for it... Oni Wu Tsuji has always felt that the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni knows better than anyone else.
Because it was something that Ji Guoyuan once wore under his ear, that genius swordsman who seemed to be favored by a god, once wore such earrings to drive Kiwu Tsuji to a desperate situation.
Thinking of this kind of thing, Guiwu Tsuji felt very upset, and even began to feel that Babaichuni was secretly mocking him-she clearly knew the reason.
Oni Wu Tsuji narrowed his red plum-colored eyes, and the pupils that were slender and erect were as dangerous as beasts.The surrounding atmosphere began to solidify like jelly, but just as the heaviness began to spread, the sea level in the distance gradually became bright enough to smudge the entire sky.
The sun is about to rise.
Oni Wu Tsuji must return to a place where the sun cannot shine before the sun rises.
It was as if a boring drama came to an abrupt end, and Oni Wu Tsuji left too hastily. The eight hundred bhikkhuni stood in the verandah and watched his back as he walked into the mansion.
——*——
【Butterfly House】
Brilliant sunlight poured into the ward through the thin window paper, not only him but also Zenitsu and Inosuke were lying in the same room.When fighting against one of the lower strings on the infinite train, several of them were injured to varying degrees.
But when the Yan Zhu, Purgatory Xing Shoulang, was also awakened from his dream, the situation began to develop in their favor—provided that when they killed one of the lower ghosts, the other ghost of the upper string did not appear before them.
That's the real nightmare scenario.Even far more chilling than the dreams created by nightmares.
The ghost of the winding... is fundamentally different from the ghost of the winding.
——It is also fundamentally different from the [Pillar] of the Demon Slayer Squad.
The Zhu of the Ghost Killing Team has not been able to slay any ghosts of Shangxian for more than a hundred years. Not only that, they even often have members of the [Zhu] level who die in the hands of the ghosts of Shangxian.
Butterfly Ninja's sister Butterfly Kanae, when she went to a certain town to investigate the disappearance of villagers as the former Huazhu, she died in the hands of the ghost of the upper string. The supporting team also lost more than half.
So when Purgatory Xingshoulang saw the number in Shangxian Zhisan's eyes, he was ready to be buried in the ruins of the infinite train.
"Kaomen Boys," Purgatory Kyojuro stood in front of Kamado Tanjirou at that time, and said to them, "You have always done a good job, and you have always worked hard!"
He affirmed them loudly, and told the third of the string: "The three of them are my most proud and outstanding [stepchildren]!"
He promised to protect everyone and never let anyone die—the promise made by Purgatory Xingshourou in the name of [Flame Pillar] has indeed been fulfilled.
Nightmare couldn't eat anyone, and it couldn't kill anyone.
However, Yiwozuo, as the third of the top string, cannot be viewed in the same way as the first of the bottom string.
Purgatory Xingshourou rejected Yiwozao's affirmation, and rejected his invitation [Although it is the first time we met, but with Xingshourou's aptitude, if you become a ghost, you will definitely become an excellent winding ghost in time], chose to fight him.
But as a human being, even the 【Pillar】has its limit.
So if the fight continues like this, the final destination of Purgatory Xing Shoulang... I am afraid that he will only die in the hands of this winding ghost.
But at the critical juncture, other pillars rushed to their side.
【Insect Pillar】The feather weave of Butterfly Ninja shimmers in the night, and the purple butterfly wing pattern on it shines brightly under the moonlight.There was a warm smile on her face, but hatred could be heard in her calm voice.
"Hey," Die Die reluctantly opened his eyes, his dull pupils were filled with coldness: "For forcing Mr. Purgatory to such an extent, you really deserve to be a ghost who winds up."
"Wow!" Compared with the calm but dangerous voice of Butterfly Ninja, another female voice seemed a little bluffing.
[Love Pillar] Ganluji Mitsuri has a strange pink hair with green at the end, she looks nervously at Purgatory Kyojuro.
Seeing the embarrassment of Purgatory Xingshoulang and the others, Ganlusi Mili condemned Yiwozuo: "It's too much!"
"Hmm! Let Butterfly and Ganlu Temple see my embarrassed appearance, it really embarrasses Yan Zhu!" Even at this time, Lian Ji Xing Shou Lang, who was still full of energy, sighed.
Although Purgatory Kyojuro looked full of energy, Kamado Tanjiro almost had the urge to cry.
He can smell far more smells now than before, and he can smell it naturally. When Mr. Purgatory said that the three of them are his excellent stepson, there was a sense of determination in his bones.
Relating to the time at this time, at this time not far from the sun rising, Kamado Tanjiro immediately understood.
[Mr. Purgatory...maybe he wants to sacrifice himself to hold Yiwozuo, so as to protect the three of them and other ordinary humans who are still sleeping in the train. 】
He wants to do something, he wants to help Mr. Purgatory, and he wants to play his own role in the face of the third chapter.However, as lower-level ghost killers, they couldn't even participate in such a battle at all.
How powerful the [Pillar] is, Kamado Tanjiro already knew it when he was fighting Nightmare.
Inosuke and Shanyi could only guard two or three carriages together, but Yanzhu Purgatory Anjurou, with his strength alone, was enough to guard five carriages.
The difference can be seen at a glance.
But just when Mr. Purgatory decided to put all his eggs in one basket, and Tanjiro Kamado and the others were helpless, Miss Butterfly and Miss Ganroji arrived in time.
Although they are not top-notch existences among the [Pillars], the combined efforts of the three Pillars, even if they can't kill the top three, are enough to keep him in check for a long time, so that they won't fall into a short-term disadvantage.
What's more... After fighting Nightmare for a long time, the third of the first string appeared near the ruins of the train.
They just need to last until dawn—【Ghosts】would not allow themselves to move in the sun, foolishly let themselves be wiped out by the sun.
——*——
Sitting on the hospital bed in Butterfly House, recalling what happened last night, Kamado Tanjirou still felt as if he had gone through a weird dream. He encountered the first and third of the last string, and they all came back alive. Ghost Killing Squad...
It's really incredible.
"Stove boy?"
When he was in a trance, Kamodo Tanjiro suddenly heard someone calling himself, and he suddenly answered: "Yes!"
Purgatory Xingshourou who was also wearing a hospital gown stood in front of him, his hair that spread out like flames was eye-catching and flamboyant.His energetic appearance made Kamado Tanjiro straighten his body: "Mr. Purgatory...how is your injury?"
Zamon Tanjiro wanted to ask about his injuries, but got the other party: "It's nothing serious, thanks to Butterfly and Ganluji who arrived in time, otherwise I would really lose my face as a pillar there." Yes!" He replied with a laugh.
Tanjiro Kamado clenched his fists. After meeting the Oni Kamizuru, he realized how weak he was. He couldn't even fight back against the Oni Kamizuru. What about no misery?
But Kamado Tanjiro will not fall into depression because of this, just as Purgatory Kyojuro said, Kamado Tanjiro and the others have always worked hard, they have always been excellent children, and they can stick to their original Purpose.
They are all swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Team who are trying to kill the original Onimi Mai Tsuji Tsuji, so they have to work hard and constantly make themselves stronger.
Standing on an equal footing, Purgatory Kyojuro affirmed Kamado Tanjiro's idea of killing Onimai Tsuji, which seemed whimsical to others.
Purgatory Kyojuro saw the child's firm heart.
Talking about the timely arrival of Butterfly Shinobu and Amroji Mitsuri, Kamado Tanjirou has new doubts.
"Why did Miss Butterfly and Miss Ganlu Temple arrive at that time?"
It was clear that at the beginning, even they didn't know that there would be a winding ghost appearing there.
"Hum..." Purgatory Xingshoulang seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he quickly explained: "It was the lord who sent the crow to send the news."
He told Kamado Tanjiro: "The Kamado boy doesn't know, the lord's family, the Ubayashiki clan has always had the ability to prophesy, although they don't know
But what they encountered now was a real natural disaster.
Unable to control, unable to intervene, even unable to resist, can only bear its coming powerlessly.
Lingyun Pavilion collapsed much faster than expected, probably because of the height, and the movement of the collapse was better than any place in Asakusa—but the scope of this natural disaster spread was not limited to Asakusa.
The eight hundred bhikkhuni and Onimai Tsuji were on the highest floor, and the shock they felt was even stronger.When she was about to lose her footing, Babaichuni subconsciously looked at Guiwu Tsuji Wumi, but was unexpectedly embraced by the other party.
The Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni leaning on his arms saw his frowning tightly.
The top two floors of Lingyun Pavilion are made of wooden structures, and the wooden blocks that fell from the cracks have sharp thorns, but they were bounced off by invisible forces when they were about to touch Guiwu Tsuji and the others.
And the Eight Hundred Bhikkuni who was held in his arms completely avoided any harm.
In fact, they are not afraid of this level of harm. Neither Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi nor Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni will feel a sense of crisis due to this level of [natural disaster].
But in the next second, their location changed.
No matter from any point of view, Naruto is an excellent ghost-has a very practical blood ghost technique, can be on call when Kiwu Tsuji needs her, and most importantly... speaks very little.
So you don't have to be afraid of being dismembered by Ghost Dance Tsuji Wuyou if you are unhappy, and you don't have to worry about making the original ghost angry if you say something wrong.
After Lingyun Pavilion opened the interface to Infinity City, she didn't even let herself appear in front of Gui Wu Tsuji Wumi and Eight Hundred Bikuni - it can be said that the skill of observing words and emotions has reached the highest level.
The [Infinite City] created by Naruto's blood ghost technique is a space independent of any place in the true sense.
Surrounded by large and small wooden Japanese rooms, they exist in this space in a distorted and messy arrangement. Wooden stairs connect some rooms and floors, making this space even more unpredictable.
There was no sound around, it was too quiet.
Especially compared to the sound of the building collapsing and the ground cracking that was still lingering in my ears just now, the shouts of the crowd mixed in it made the silence at this moment even more abrupt.
After realizing that Onimai Tsuji had no intention of letting go of her, Bhikkhuni raised her eyelids and looked at him.
Then I saw the gloom on his face and the scarlet vertical pupils in his eyes.
Oni Wu Tsuji was in a very bad mood at this time—it could even be regarded as full of anger.
If he was offended by someone, he could still use the other person to vent his anger, but this time it was not a real person who angered him—it was a real natural disaster.
Its arrival completely disrupted Ghost Mai Tsuji's plan.
In fact, if he just wanted to take the Eight Hundred Bhikkuni to the twelfth floor of Asakusa to see the scenery, then even if such a natural disaster happened, it would at most just make Kimai Tsuji feel a little disappointed.
But his ideas don't stop there.
Guiwu Tsuji Wumi took her to Lingyun Pavilion, but he actually had other intentions.
That day, he pretended to be a woman, and when he wanted to do something with the eight hundred bhikkhuni, he suddenly met the eight hundred bhikkhuni's indifferent gaze. Realized something very important.
[What is the relationship between Oni Wu Tsuji and the eight hundred bhikunis? 】
He suddenly thought of this question.
Although he has always known that the eight hundred bhikkhuni has an unusual status in his mind, this is the first time that Gui Wu Tsuji has seriously thought about what the eight hundred bhikkhuni is.
He thought of an answer.
【wife. 】
It was just to hide among the crowd as a human being, but the fictitious relationship made at this moment made Onimai Tsuji want to turn it into reality.
And this is also the first time that Ghost Dance Tsuji Wucan really wants to recognize her status.
It is not a vague concept like "special person", but a real and specific identity that can be expressed by a certain title.
When thinking of this, Onimai Tsuji suddenly remembered that when he was running a trading company, he had also discussed business with many humans in a serious manner.
That's when he met a very special human being.
Different from those people in the past who wanted to invite him to dinner or have fun after negotiating the contract, trying to curry favor with him, the human being who had always been expressionless during the negotiation, heard that the secretary of Ghost Dance Tsuji Musai When she whispered to him, "Madam said that she will wait for you to have dinner together", he suddenly changed the indifference of the few polite words just now.
"Are you married?" the human asked him.
Oni Wu Tsuji was a little surprised by his superior hearing, squinted his eyes, and reluctantly replied: "Yes."
Hearing this, the human being smiled and touched his finger——on his ring finger, he was wearing a silver ring.
In fact, this is a custom passed down from the West. Couples will wear a pair of rings of the same style on their ring fingers to show outsiders the fact that they are married.Nowadays, the speed of Westernization in China is getting faster and faster, especially for people like them, who have undergone fundamental changes in their living habits.
"You must be a good husband." The human touched the ring on his hand and said to him suddenly.
Oni Wu Tsuji, who was evaluated as a "good husband" all of a sudden, raised his eyebrows, showing some interest in this human being.
"Why do you say that?" he asked the human.
The human being lowered his eyes, as if thinking of something, he said: "I have heard of you before, and the most common thing I hear is that you are young and promising but clean, whether you are invited to dinner or to play, No one has ever been successful."
He looked at Guiwu Tsuji: "Things like wine and sex are not attractive to you."
Although he has never put human beings in his eyes, and he did not agree to the invitations of those human beings just because he looked down on them, but it was the first time he heard someone make such an evaluation in front of him, and it was also a shame for Onimai Tsuji. Novel experience.
"Really?" Onimai Tsujimu responded dismally.
Hearing that the human's eyes fell on his hands, Gui Wu Tsuji's fingers were well-articulated, without any redundant parts, they were just right, as beautiful as finely carved handicrafts.
But there is nothing like that human being that can prove the fact that he is married.
"You must love her very much, right?" The human suddenly popped up such a question.
Hearing this, Onimai Tsuji Mucan only felt a little baffled.
"Even her existence must be carefully concealed, like a dragon hiding its beloved treasure."
Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou suddenly froze.
At that time, when he heard these remarks, he actually didn't have much emotion. It was like an ordinary episode, and he almost forgot it after listening to it.
But a few days ago, he suddenly remembered this matter again, and that question had been entrenched in his mind for a long time, so that Guiwu Tsuji couldn't even appear in front of Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis before he calmed down.
[You must love her very much, right? 】
It was such a question that lingered in Gui Wu Tsuji's mind.
Does he love Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni?Oni Wu Tsuji was also asking himself the same question.
Maybe it was indeed love—although it was not the same as that human's guess at the time.
At the beginning, it was not because he realized his [love] for her that he didn't let other humans know about her existence, but because he didn't care about and looked down on the lowly humans in his eyes, so he felt that there was no such thing. necessary.
But Guiwu Tsuji Wumi, who suddenly realized this, seemed to suddenly understand the reason why the eight hundred bhikkhunis were indifferent to him.
Just as the position of the Yabai bhikkuni in the mind of Oni Wu Tsuji is vague, he thought, in the mind of the Yabai bhikkhuni, the position of the ghost of Tsuji has probably always been in a state of ambiguity.
That's why Bhikkhuni Baba always treats him hot and cold, sometimes he seems to care, and sometimes he doesn't care.
Correspondingly, as long as the eight hundred bhikkuni know what she is in the mind of Gui Wu Tsuji, her attitude will definitely change accordingly.
Most of the time, Oni Wu Tsuji's ideas are actually very simple.
He has also always maintained such a simple idea-he wants the blue Bana flower, so he must find it no matter what, whether it is to win over eight hundred bhikkhuni or divide his own blood, and create a man who can find the blue Bhigan flower together with him. the ghost.
Realizing that Ji Guoyuan could threaten his life, he had to hide away until Ji Guoyuan died and then returned to the human world.
When he found out that Ji Guoyuanyi, who had been dead for many years, still handed down his own things, he would destroy that thing, as well as the person who brought it to him.
Then since he really regards the eight hundred bhikkhuni as his [wife], he should wear the same style of pair of rings on their ring fingers like those human beings.
Guiwu Tsuji was so unlucky that he had a bit of romantic thoughts. He originally planned to take the eight hundred bhikkhuni to Lingyun Pavilion first, where they could hardly be regarded as the first real [date], and put the ring on it. Wear it on her hand.
But... because of the natural disaster, his mind was completely lost.
Yabaichuni didn't know what Oni Wu Tsuji was thinking at this time, she only knew that the other party was silent for a long time, long enough to make her think of many things.
The prophecy, which has never been under her control, saw the tragic end of Gui Wu Tsuji.
Perhaps the collapse of Lingyun Pavilion triggered a similar future, and she saw the collapse of Infinite City.
In her foresight, the scene when the Infinite City collapsed was enough to move any human beings and evil spirits. She saw Naruto's death, and she also saw the tragic end of Kiwu Tsuji.
Humans die, and so do demons—without exceptions.
The only exception is the eight hundred bhikkhuni, she is a unique existence that seems to be favored by [life] and rejected by [death].
It's a pity that the [-]-year-old bhikkhuni has long been tired of living, and he is also tired of it... He Guiwu Tsuji Wumi continued this false [play house] game.
But Guiwu Tsuji Wucan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly made a move that surprised her deeply.
He let go of the eight hundred bhikkhuni, took out the small box from his pocket, put one of the rings on his ring finger, took her hand, and put the other ring on her hand superior.
Eight hundred bhikkhuni raised his eyes and looked at him: "What does this mean?"
Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou suddenly smiled, the gloom between her brows and eyes lessened, probably because her unresisting appearance slightly appeased his displeasure that his plan was disrupted.
Oni Wu Tsuji said to her: "I heard that human couples will wear a pair of rings with the same style on their fingers."
He just said that, and he took it for granted that Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni could understand what he meant.
There is an overinflated arrogance in Guiwu Tsuji Wumi, such arrogance makes him unable to see others clearly, and he cannot see himself clearly—he thinks that his actions at this time are enough to move eight hundred bhikkhunis.
But in fact, the eight hundred bhikkhunis regarded the pair of rings that he had carefully selected and specially ordered by others as the flowers and gifts that he had had on a whim in the past.
"Really." Eight Hundred Bhikkuni turned the ring on her finger and said softly, "It's pretty."
Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou lowered his head and gave her a kiss that he thought was gentle and without any warmth.
——*——
Nightmare, who got the blood from Onimai Tsuji Mumi, and after her strength increased, she also began to arrange a plan to kill the "little ghost wearing flower earrings" in the mouth of Oniwu Tsuji.
He can only succeed in this mission, not only for Lord Onimai Tsuji, but also for Lord Yabaichuni.
The conversation with the eight hundred bhikkhuni that night has always been engraved in Nightmare's heart. He often thinks of her face that is still young and beautiful after so many years, and her expressionless and indifferent appearance.
He suddenly wanted to enter her dream, and wanted to see what was hidden in the deepest part of her heart.
Before this dream can come true, he must first complete the task at this moment.
Reducing the scope of its hunt for humans, Nightmare confines its prey to the longest train—the Infinity Train.
He was standing on the roof at the front of the train, and the strong wind brought his hair and the hem of his clothes as the train moved.The black hem of the clothes draws irregular arcs in the same dark night, feeling the night breeze with a happy smile on his face.
He could already imagine how the human beings in the carriage would die tragically in a painful dream.
Never before had he seen any human being maintain peace of mind after the beautiful dream was shattered.
Just like what he showed in front of Babaichuni a few days ago, he mixed his own blood into ink, and then used that ink to make tickets, as long as he turned a few humans on the train into his own tool, then everything will run extraordinarily smoothly.
After all... No matter how hard the members of the Ghost Killing Squad try, they can't tell who is being lured/lured by the [ghost] just by smell.
Nightmare made a promise to the tools he selected, as long as they can enter the dreams of those ghost killers after they fall asleep, and then break the core of their dreams, let those ghost killers die in the dream, Then they can all get rewards from him.
The content of the [reward] is to let them live in a beautiful dream forever, and continue to live a happy life with the one they love and the family they have lost forever.
Human beings are too easy to deceive creatures most of the time. As the sleeping ghost who controls the dream, Nightmare knows this fact better than any ghost.
Abandoning reality for illusory dreams is nothing more than normal for these fragile human beings.
What's more, the dreams created by nightmares have always been difficult to distinguish between true and false.
He seemed to be able to see Master Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni fulfilling his promise and praising him after his success.
But his dream was burnt by the flaming knife.
The boy with the flower earrings with sun patterns on his ears stood in front of him with a knife raised.
"What do you think of human beings?" The boy clenched the Sun Wheel Knife tightly, and the voice of asking him was blown into his ears along the night wind.
Nightmare was surprised—it wasn't supposed to be like this.
His plan was already very careful and prudent, and even his own existence was not exposed to their eyes for the first time.But Kamado Tanjiro broke free from the dream.
"It's a tool." Nightmare was determined.
— or food.He added a little bit in his heart.
It is too difficult for a ghost who has no sympathy and compassion to understand how hard and strong human beings are.
But Tanjiro Kamado has been trying to understand everyone—even the oni.
In Kamado Tanjiro's view, all ghosts were once human beings.They used to live as humans, but in the end they lost human rationality and even memory, and became existences that even distorted themselves.
Ghosts are very poor creatures.
Tanjiro never denied this, and he never denied Oni's sorrow and pain.
However, this does not mean that because of their sorrow and pain, they can commit cruel acts to humans-the behavior of hurting others, whether it is a human being or a demon, cannot be forgiven.
So Kamado Tanjiro wanted to kill Nightmare here no matter what.
——but Nightmare escaped at the last moment.
Because no matter what, he wanted to return to the side of Eight Hundred Bhikkuni, because there was an existence that needed to be remembered, could exist in his heart, and would be remembered at the last moment—Nightmare left a way out for himself.
He once thought about merging himself with the entire Infinity Train, but before the idea could become a reality, he suddenly changed his mind.
He did fuse his body with the infinite train, but his real body remained in a hand that had been severed long ago. With that hand, he was able to escape from those ghost killers.
Oni Wu Tsuji had known about this failure as early as when he was escaping—he could know their thoughts and every move through the cells belonging to him left in the bodies of other ghosts.
Oni Wu Tsuji couldn't help being angry—especially when his behavior reminded him of himself when he ran away from Ji Guoyuan.
It was a cowardly act without any face left.
However, Gui Wu Tsuji did not immediately activate the restraint left in Nightmare's body to kill him, but stayed in the mansion in Kyoto and waited.
From the trajectory of Nightmare's actions that Guiwu Tsuji noticed, it is easy to judge where Nightmare wants to go at this moment.
——*——
The moonlight was as cool as water, and it fell on the empty courtyard—after the cherry blossoms were gone, the fun of the eight hundred bhikkhuni was limited to walking.
She stood under the lantern, raised her palm, and under the dim light, she could clearly see what she was wearing on her finger.
The silver ring is engraved with beautiful patterns, and those slender patterns are combined, and you can find it if you look closely - it is probably the pattern of the other shore flower.
The eight hundred bhikkhuni thought to himself that it was probably because of the pattern of the patterns that Gui Wu Tsuji had seen, that's why he wanted to buy this pair of rings.
His obsession with the cyan flower of the other side has not faded even after a thousand years.
At the moment when Babai Kuni was contemplating, someone came to her silently.
"Master Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni," although he tried his best to regain his human form on the way here, Nightmare's state at this time is worse than that of a low-level ghost.
He softly called the name of Eight Hundred Bhikkuni, obviously thinking a lot on the way, but when he saw her, he suddenly became unbelievably calm.
Eight hundred bhikkhuni looked at his face and suddenly understood something.
"You failed." She said lightly, with an affirmative tone.
"Ah..." Nightmare said, "You saw it."
He suddenly laughed again: "I'm still not strong enough..."
At the moment when his split body was beheaded, Nightmare suddenly remembered his identity—his identity as one of the lower strings.
He suddenly remembered what Master Kimai Tsuji said when he reprimanded them. He said: [After so many years, there has never been an oni who killed Zhuzhu in the winding down, and the one who can kill Zhu will always be the ghost in the winding . 】
It is for this reason that Lord Onimai Tsuji wants to disband the ghosts of the bow and take back the power given to them.
Although at that time, Master Kimai Tsuji kept him, and even gave him more blood, so that he could become the only ghost left, but...he still couldn't solve that pillar, and he couldn't solve it. Get rid of the little ghost that Ghost Mai Tsuji-sama said.
Only then did he suddenly understand that there was still such a huge gap between himself and the ghost of the string.
Eight hundred bhikkhuni saw Nightmare showing a normal expression, neither fascinated eyes nor flushed cheeks, and unexpectedly said a few more words to him.
She said: "Tong Mo also told me that he has become stronger."
Nightmare didn't know whether she was comforting or mocking, but no matter what kind of thinking she had, as long as she was willing to speak in front of him, it would be enough to make Nightmare feel that she came here for no reason.
But at the same time, he also realized that maybe in front of her, in her eyes... the appearance of those human beings in his eyes was not much different.
He suddenly wanted to ask her: "In your opinion..."
Before the words fell, something struck from the side, completely crushing the nightmare in the courtyard.
At the last moment, he saw the expression on Lord Eight Hundred Bikuni's face—it was still as calm and indifferent as usual.
Nightmare likes to see other people's despair, and likes to hear the wailing of human beings before they die. As a human being, he revealed these weirdnesses that are completely different from normal human beings and will not be accepted by normal human beings.
But when faced with his own death, Nightmare suddenly realized that... the despair that fell on him turned out to be this feeling.
He suddenly felt very satisfied again, without any regrets or nostalgia - the feeling of what he had been longing for all this time came to him, far better than any wailing he had heard in the past.
And the figure that caught his eyes at the last moment was also the person he wanted to see the most all along.
So that's the end of it, as far as Nightmare is concerned... no regrets.
——*——
The overly strong smell of blood permeated the entire courtyard in an instant, and even the eight hundred bhikkhuni who were some distance away from the nightmare could smell this overly strong smell.
She frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to go back to the room, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw a figure in front of her.
"Nightmare also failed." Onimai Tsujimu said dismally.
Eight hundred bhikkhuni didn't know the meaning of his words, raised his eyelids to look at him, and replied calmly: "Yes."
But Onimai Tsuji was not satisfied with this reaction.
He thought that he had given away the ring, and Bhikkhuni obediently put it on, which meant that she had accepted her status in his eyes, and it also meant that her attitude might change because of it.
But the reality proved that she didn't seem to have changed in any way.
Oni Wu Tsuji frowned, but he didn't know how to ask her. The strange silence lasted for a moment between them, and Oni Wu Tsuji Wu Mi still spoke.
"The ring...do you like it?"
Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni gave him a surprised look.
"like."
So the topic has reached an impasse.
Facts have proved that when one party does not want to continue a topic, no matter how hard the other party tries, it is just wishful thinking and self-righteousness.
But Ghost Dance Tsuji Mumi was obviously not the kind of existence who would greet him with a smile after being treated coldly—he would only frown even more uglyly.
Realizing that this topic is not suitable for the current situation, Ghost Mai Tsuji suddenly thought of another thing.
"Who do you think should be sent to solve this matter?"
He suddenly asked Eight Hundred Bhikkuni this question.
It has been a long time since Gui Wu Tsuji has not asked Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni about her foresight, nor has she asked her if she has seen anything recently, as if she had not placed any hope in her foresight ability for a long time.
Because of this, when Oni Wu Tsuji asked her this suddenly, her first reaction was that Oni Wu Tsuji was testing herself.
But in fact... Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi just changed the subject bluntly, without thinking too much at all.
Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni was silent for a moment: "Why do you have to kill him?"
Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou knew who the "he" was referring to.But the reason for it... Oni Wu Tsuji has always felt that the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni knows better than anyone else.
Because it was something that Ji Guoyuan once wore under his ear, that genius swordsman who seemed to be favored by a god, once wore such earrings to drive Kiwu Tsuji to a desperate situation.
Thinking of this kind of thing, Guiwu Tsuji felt very upset, and even began to feel that Babaichuni was secretly mocking him-she clearly knew the reason.
Oni Wu Tsuji narrowed his red plum-colored eyes, and the pupils that were slender and erect were as dangerous as beasts.The surrounding atmosphere began to solidify like jelly, but just as the heaviness began to spread, the sea level in the distance gradually became bright enough to smudge the entire sky.
The sun is about to rise.
Oni Wu Tsuji must return to a place where the sun cannot shine before the sun rises.
It was as if a boring drama came to an abrupt end, and Oni Wu Tsuji left too hastily. The eight hundred bhikkhuni stood in the verandah and watched his back as he walked into the mansion.
——*——
【Butterfly House】
Brilliant sunlight poured into the ward through the thin window paper, not only him but also Zenitsu and Inosuke were lying in the same room.When fighting against one of the lower strings on the infinite train, several of them were injured to varying degrees.
But when the Yan Zhu, Purgatory Xing Shoulang, was also awakened from his dream, the situation began to develop in their favor—provided that when they killed one of the lower ghosts, the other ghost of the upper string did not appear before them.
That's the real nightmare scenario.Even far more chilling than the dreams created by nightmares.
The ghost of the winding... is fundamentally different from the ghost of the winding.
——It is also fundamentally different from the [Pillar] of the Demon Slayer Squad.
The Zhu of the Ghost Killing Team has not been able to slay any ghosts of Shangxian for more than a hundred years. Not only that, they even often have members of the [Zhu] level who die in the hands of the ghosts of Shangxian.
Butterfly Ninja's sister Butterfly Kanae, when she went to a certain town to investigate the disappearance of villagers as the former Huazhu, she died in the hands of the ghost of the upper string. The supporting team also lost more than half.
So when Purgatory Xingshoulang saw the number in Shangxian Zhisan's eyes, he was ready to be buried in the ruins of the infinite train.
"Kaomen Boys," Purgatory Kyojuro stood in front of Kamado Tanjirou at that time, and said to them, "You have always done a good job, and you have always worked hard!"
He affirmed them loudly, and told the third of the string: "The three of them are my most proud and outstanding [stepchildren]!"
He promised to protect everyone and never let anyone die—the promise made by Purgatory Xingshourou in the name of [Flame Pillar] has indeed been fulfilled.
Nightmare couldn't eat anyone, and it couldn't kill anyone.
However, Yiwozuo, as the third of the top string, cannot be viewed in the same way as the first of the bottom string.
Purgatory Xingshourou rejected Yiwozao's affirmation, and rejected his invitation [Although it is the first time we met, but with Xingshourou's aptitude, if you become a ghost, you will definitely become an excellent winding ghost in time], chose to fight him.
But as a human being, even the 【Pillar】has its limit.
So if the fight continues like this, the final destination of Purgatory Xing Shoulang... I am afraid that he will only die in the hands of this winding ghost.
But at the critical juncture, other pillars rushed to their side.
【Insect Pillar】The feather weave of Butterfly Ninja shimmers in the night, and the purple butterfly wing pattern on it shines brightly under the moonlight.There was a warm smile on her face, but hatred could be heard in her calm voice.
"Hey," Die Die reluctantly opened his eyes, his dull pupils were filled with coldness: "For forcing Mr. Purgatory to such an extent, you really deserve to be a ghost who winds up."
"Wow!" Compared with the calm but dangerous voice of Butterfly Ninja, another female voice seemed a little bluffing.
[Love Pillar] Ganluji Mitsuri has a strange pink hair with green at the end, she looks nervously at Purgatory Kyojuro.
Seeing the embarrassment of Purgatory Xingshoulang and the others, Ganlusi Mili condemned Yiwozuo: "It's too much!"
"Hmm! Let Butterfly and Ganlu Temple see my embarrassed appearance, it really embarrasses Yan Zhu!" Even at this time, Lian Ji Xing Shou Lang, who was still full of energy, sighed.
Although Purgatory Kyojuro looked full of energy, Kamado Tanjiro almost had the urge to cry.
He can smell far more smells now than before, and he can smell it naturally. When Mr. Purgatory said that the three of them are his excellent stepson, there was a sense of determination in his bones.
Relating to the time at this time, at this time not far from the sun rising, Kamado Tanjiro immediately understood.
[Mr. Purgatory...maybe he wants to sacrifice himself to hold Yiwozuo, so as to protect the three of them and other ordinary humans who are still sleeping in the train. 】
He wants to do something, he wants to help Mr. Purgatory, and he wants to play his own role in the face of the third chapter.However, as lower-level ghost killers, they couldn't even participate in such a battle at all.
How powerful the [Pillar] is, Kamado Tanjiro already knew it when he was fighting Nightmare.
Inosuke and Shanyi could only guard two or three carriages together, but Yanzhu Purgatory Anjurou, with his strength alone, was enough to guard five carriages.
The difference can be seen at a glance.
But just when Mr. Purgatory decided to put all his eggs in one basket, and Tanjiro Kamado and the others were helpless, Miss Butterfly and Miss Ganroji arrived in time.
Although they are not top-notch existences among the [Pillars], the combined efforts of the three Pillars, even if they can't kill the top three, are enough to keep him in check for a long time, so that they won't fall into a short-term disadvantage.
What's more... After fighting Nightmare for a long time, the third of the first string appeared near the ruins of the train.
They just need to last until dawn—【Ghosts】would not allow themselves to move in the sun, foolishly let themselves be wiped out by the sun.
——*——
Sitting on the hospital bed in Butterfly House, recalling what happened last night, Kamado Tanjirou still felt as if he had gone through a weird dream. He encountered the first and third of the last string, and they all came back alive. Ghost Killing Squad...
It's really incredible.
"Stove boy?"
When he was in a trance, Kamodo Tanjiro suddenly heard someone calling himself, and he suddenly answered: "Yes!"
Purgatory Xingshourou who was also wearing a hospital gown stood in front of him, his hair that spread out like flames was eye-catching and flamboyant.His energetic appearance made Kamado Tanjiro straighten his body: "Mr. Purgatory...how is your injury?"
Zamon Tanjiro wanted to ask about his injuries, but got the other party: "It's nothing serious, thanks to Butterfly and Ganluji who arrived in time, otherwise I would really lose my face as a pillar there." Yes!" He replied with a laugh.
Tanjiro Kamado clenched his fists. After meeting the Oni Kamizuru, he realized how weak he was. He couldn't even fight back against the Oni Kamizuru. What about no misery?
But Kamado Tanjiro will not fall into depression because of this, just as Purgatory Kyojuro said, Kamado Tanjiro and the others have always worked hard, they have always been excellent children, and they can stick to their original Purpose.
They are all swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Team who are trying to kill the original Onimi Mai Tsuji Tsuji, so they have to work hard and constantly make themselves stronger.
Standing on an equal footing, Purgatory Kyojuro affirmed Kamado Tanjiro's idea of killing Onimai Tsuji, which seemed whimsical to others.
Purgatory Kyojuro saw the child's firm heart.
Talking about the timely arrival of Butterfly Shinobu and Amroji Mitsuri, Kamado Tanjirou has new doubts.
"Why did Miss Butterfly and Miss Ganlu Temple arrive at that time?"
It was clear that at the beginning, even they didn't know that there would be a winding ghost appearing there.
"Hum..." Purgatory Xingshoulang seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he quickly explained: "It was the lord who sent the crow to send the news."
He told Kamado Tanjiro: "The Kamado boy doesn't know, the lord's family, the Ubayashiki clan has always had the ability to prophesy, although they don't know
