Yu Xingyue Hunts the Evil Me

Osaka Castle, a city that originally belonged to humans, changed its owner eight years ago.

In the center of the city, in the city within the city that was built with countless labors, there is a powerful evil ghost living there - Yue Yue, who is the king of ghosts.

In addition to the Ghost King, there are other ghosts living in the inner city, most of whom are the descendants of the Ghost King Zhuoyue.

It is a world of ghosts. Humans can enter it, but most of them enter it as 'food'.

The outer city is still a human world, but compared to the prosperity, the atmosphere inside the city is extremely depressing.

Rather than being citizens, they are more like food kept by evil spirits.

People in the city draw dice as tribute to ghosts more frequently than those in the countryside.

Today, in an inconspicuous house somewhere in the outer city of Osaka, the girl is kneeling on the cold ground of the dojo. Next to her are items wrapped in white linen, with dark blood seeping out of the white linen.

The sack contains the ghost's head, which is also the certificate to truly join the Demon Slayer Corps.

The place where the girl is now is a stronghold of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The headquarters of the Demon Slayer Squad was wiped out by the current demons themselves, and the survivors were hiding everywhere.

After Wu Kai established the ghost order, he disbanded the human army, leaving only the police force for public security.

Members of the Demon Slayer Squad are also wanted and cannot even walk openly in human society.

Ghost hunters, the organization that once protected humans from being invaded by ghosts, has been reduced to an underground resistance organization.

But even so, over the past eight years, the Demon Slayer Corps has been silently licking its wounds and recovering its strength.

Fresh blood continues to pour in, and the members of the Demon Slayer Corps are basically people who have a deep hatred for ghosts. Most of them have relatives killed by ghosts.

But now, there are too many people who have their loved ones slaughtered by ghosts and long for revenge.

The girl also had this experience. She wanted to join the Demon Slayer Corps to gain the power to complete her revenge, but now she is a little uneasy.

This ghost's head was not hunted by her personally, but picked up from the legacy of others.

Four more days have passed since that night, but the girl still cannot forget what happened that night.

Fear and suspicion made her dare not hide the process of obtaining the head, and she truthfully reported it to the people of the Demon Slayer Team in this stronghold.

There were footsteps behind him, and someone entered the dojo. He was a young man in his twenties. The other party is also the person in charge of this stronghold, a member of the Demon Slayer Squad, and his apparent identity is a famous businessman in Osaka Castle. I even heard that he has a connection with the ghosts in the inner city, and seeks wealth and benefits for the ghosts in the inner city.

"Miss Yumei..."

The young man gently called the girl's name

"Master Qinglong."

Youmi said nervously to the young man:

"What about, can I really join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"Miss Youmei, the situation you reported is really special. Qinglong showed a wry smile:"To be honest, after what happened, I can no longer make a decision based on my authority.""

"Normally, this matter should be reported to the headquarters for judgment by several pillars and the lord."

"only..."

Qinglong paused, then changed the subject again.

"There is an adult who can make the decision, and as luck would have it, that adult wants to see you."

Qinglong's face became serious:

"The Lord's arrival here was originally a top secret, and I was the only one in Osaka City who knew about it. Now that you are the second one, you must swear that you will never leak this matter."

"I swear..."Yumei couldn't wait to stretch out her hand and swear

"Okay, come with me."

Qinglong took Yumi out of the dojo, left the house, shuttled around Osaka Castle, and finally came to an ordinary civilian courtyard.

Qinglong knocked on the door with a specific rhythm, and soon the door was opened.

Qinglong After walking in with Youmei, a young man was sitting with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.

Qinglong knelt down and saluted the young man respectfully.

Youmei followed suit, but couldn't help but look at the young man..

The young man has blond hair and an expression as cold as ice. He wears a feather with the same color as his hair and holds a sword across his knees.

It is obvious that he is a swordsman after the fall of the curtain. The original government issued a decree that no one except the police and soldiers was allowed to carry swords. However, after the ghosts and gods destroyed the human order, this ban was not lifted, but became more stringent, and even killed swordsmen on a large scale.

After becoming a formal member, the Demon Slayer Corps will prepare knives for the members. Having a knife also means that the opponent is a true swordsman. However

, Qinglong's respectful appearance clearly shows that the young man's status in the Demon Slayer Corps is unusual. Looking at each other, Youmei felt vaguely that the other person's face was familiar, as if she had seen it before somewhere.

During the period of random thoughts, Qinglong and the young man had completed a brief exchange, and the young man's eyes were on Youmei's body.

A kind of pressure, but the pressure brought by this sight disappeared immediately

"Miss Youmei, please tell me about your experience that night."

Youmi has narrated the events of that night to Qinglong many times, and this time he is familiar with it again.

The young man listened carefully and asked questions from time to time, and Youmi answered based on his memory.

Until Youmi finished speaking, the room fell into There was silence.

The young man lowered his head, seeming to be deep in thought, and then raised his head after a moment:

"Miss Youmei, what is your most intuitive feeling about the existence you met that night?"

Seeing Yumi's confused look, the young man spoke softly:

"When people judge things, they always have the most direct first impression, which is their most general evaluation of things. Although it may not be accurate, it can at least reflect an outline."

"Something to say..."Yumei said:"That person is very scary, and he is also incredibly strong. But that kind of scary and powerful seems to be different from that of a ghost.""

"Do you think the being that night was not a ghost?"

Youmi nodded.

The way ghosts look at humans is completely different from the way people look at their own kind.

Although the person that night was scary, he didn't look down on people like ghosts.

"OK, I understand."

The young man nodded:

"Your basic breathing techniques are very good....And he does have the courage to face life and death. The third generation of ghosts can be hunted alone according to your strength."

"You are now considered a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, but you still need to undergo further training at the headquarters."

"Someone will take you out of here tomorrow."

Youmi left the yard in a daze. As she walked on the street, she suddenly remembered the familiarity she felt in the young man.

She had seen his portrait on the wanted notice issued by the ghost..

One of the only four pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps today, Naruhashira—Zenitsu Gatsuma!
