After traveling through Demon Slayer, is it possible to survive?

Chapter 8: What a Troublemaker

I wiped my face with my hand and didn't feel anything stuck to it. I looked at Kokushibo again and saw that he had his head lowered.

"Mou, now it's time to work, can you do it?"

Kokushibo was stunned by my sudden question, and it took him a while to react.

"What...happened?"

He still didn't stop feeding the cat.

As I watched him feeding the cat seriously, I gave up the idea of ​​asking him to go find the two Busui brothers together. It turns out that it would be more exciting if I could handle the plot myself.

"Take care of your pet at home for three days~"

"Uh...yeah...ok."

Before he could react, I stood up, changed my gender to male, went into my room, packed up the necessary items and the Sun Blade, signaled to Mingnu to teleport me to a dark place, and left in an instant.

Kokushibo looked in the direction I teleported to, and a ray of light came out, but it returned to normal in an instant.

"It's been almost hundreds of years, and Master Muzan's temperament is still the same as before."

Although it was not yet dusk, I did not neglect it. All the demons except the Upper Ranks were searching for the boy with white hair in the civilian city.

I didn't have a very good impression of these ghosts in the first place. After all, most of them eat humans. I had issued an order before prohibiting eating humans at will, but many ghosts still did not comply.

So they only had one day to look for it. Since I had absolute control over these ghosts, they were very careful about their lives. One of them sent me a message late at night.

"Sir, the white-haired boy is in the house in front of us."

The ghost's voice sounded like someone was holding his throat. Facing me, his voice began to tremble and there was a sense of fear in his voice.

I waved my hand and the ghost immediately ran away. At the same time, I turned off the search command.

I immediately went to the room and saw the scene inside through the broken window. The room was full of blood. I clearly saw five people lying on the ground, and they seemed to have stopped breathing.

"I remember that the Fuzugawa family has 7 children. Now there should be Shimizu and Xuanmi, but where are they now?"

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly I heard the sounds of fighting not far away, and even some roars. After listening carefully, I quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

When I arrived, what caught my eye was a teenage boy fighting with the ghost of an adult woman. There was also an even younger child next to them, looking at everything in front of them in fear. Both of them had obvious scars on their faces.

"Fuck, has he lost his sanity after becoming a ghost? He's pretty ruthless."

When I was thinking about how to make my appearance, I saw that the ghost was about to hit the white-haired boy in front of me again. I had no choice but to immediately flash in front of her, draw out the Sun Blade in my hand, and cut off her arms.

"Who are you?! Get out of here!"

I was startled by Shiya's roar behind me.

[“As expected of you, you are one of the toughest men in Demon Slayer. I helped you, but you yelled at me. That’s a 6!”]

The moment I turned to look at Shimi, the ghost suddenly rushed into the house on the left. There was no one living in it, it was just an empty room.

Seeing her rush in, I didn't stay for long. I said something to her lightly and followed her in.

"Go check on the kid next to you. Even though he's not as badly injured as you, he's still pretty scared!"

Hearing this, Shimi also reacted and quickly ran towards his younger brother Xuanmi.

After I entered the house, I found that the ghost was running around like a headless fly, and the arm that I had cut off was slowly recovering.

When I was about to approach, she seemed to have discovered something at this moment, and rushed out of the house and appeared right behind the two brothers of the Undead River. When I came out, I found that the mad ghost rushed straight towards them.

"Get out of the way! That's a ghost!"

But at this moment I found that the ghost's movements slowed down, and its speed became slower and slower, and it was shaky. At the same time, I also found that the smell of blood in the air made the ghost feel like it had drunk something, which made me a little dizzy.

[“It’s rare blood!”]

(The blood is a rare type of rare blood, which can make ghosts who smell it drunk.)

Seeing that her movements slowed down, I shook my head to clear my mind, rushed forward quickly, and cut the ghost in half. The ghost screamed in pain, and the sound made the two brothers Shimi and Xuanmi feel a little panicked.

(Actually, I could chop off the ghost's head, but it's his mother after all. I have to let him see clearly that his mother has turned into a ghost before I can kill her.)

"That voice is... Mom?!"

The two of them wiped their eyes and looked at the ghost in front of them who was cut in half and still struggling on the ground. He looked exactly like their mother. At this moment, there was disbelief in their eyes.

"No... Impossible, how could it be..."

Xuan Mi couldn't accept everything that had happened in the past, so he broke down and cried. He held onto the corner of Shi Mi's clothes tightly and kept asking questions in a trembling voice.

"This is a dream, this is a dream, right, brother..."

And Shimizu hugged his brother tightly. I looked at the two of them who were in trouble, stretched out the Nichirin Sword and said.

"She's your mother, you... do it yourself, or should I?!"

"you..."

I interrupted him and looked into the distance. The sun was about to rise.

"If she turns into a ghost, either her head will be chopped off or she will be destroyed by the sun. If she is destroyed by the sun, she will suffer more."

Seeing that he still couldn't make up his mind, I took a deep breath and slowly clenched the Sun Blade in my hand.

"I don't know what kind of person your mother is. Is she good? Or bad? But I know that if she hadn't turned into a ghost, she would never have done anything to you."

"And now, she is sick and in great pain, but there is no medical treatment to cure her. All I can give her is relief."

.........

I put away the Sun Blade and leaned against the broken wall, watching the two of them bury their family members with their own hands. It made me feel a little sad.

The sun is about to shine here now, and there is no shade nearby. Looking at the dirty man who had just finished his work, the two brothers said.

"Hey, that white-haired prickly guy, is there any inn, hotel, or cave nearby?"

When Shimi, who had just finished his work, heard what I said, he instantly became angry and came to me and yelled at me.

"Your limbs are useless? If you want to go, go find it yourself!"

My originally touched mood instantly sank, I put my hand on his shoulder and said to him with a gloomy face.

"Honestly, if you didn't have a brother to take care of, you would probably be missing a leg now!"

Of course this is false. How could I, a good young man, be so cruel? Although I am the ghost king now, I still have a human heart! ヽ(?~?)?

[“Fortunately, I didn’t bring Kokushibo with me at that time. If I had come, I can imagine the miserable state that Shimizu is in now!]
