Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Second Sun after the Nation

"Is that so? Then I feel relieved. After all, if I hadn't been lurking back then, I don't think I would have been able to hide my abilities. I can only say that you underestimated the long-handled weapons, but I understand that."

Ji Zhuyu looked at Douma who had calmed down again and couldn't help but admire his strong mental quality. He raised the spear in his hand and attacked again, forcing Douma to a position far away from his arms and weapons.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere. The place where Ji Zhuyu and the other man were fighting was almost covered with blood and muscle tissue. The green bamboo shadows dissipated, leaving only pieces of frozen meat, blood that instantly turned dark purple, ice attached to the blood, and ice mist above the ice that covered most of the space, and countless little ice men jumping on the frozen lotus flowers to close the distance.

"How can a guy without emotions understand what is caution and what is fear? No, you should be able to understand fear, but that emotion does not come from you, but from Muzan, the dog who is still unwilling to come out."

When Ji Zhuyu saw this familiar and heartbreaking scene, he didn't know how many times he had cursed Douma in his heart, saying that he was not a human being. He was deeply traumatized. So a certain pufferfish decided that he couldn't be the only one who was hurt. After confirming that Douma had been placed in the position he imagined, he pretended that he had not finished the first half of his sentence, and showed a very arrogant expression on his face. He successfully completed his goal of scolding Douma while also scolding Muzan.

However, although Ji Zhuyu successfully scolded Douma, a certain pufferfish did not feel satisfied. However, the ice vine and the crystal man were too close to him, forcing him to temporarily stop his mouth cannon.

He did a light somersault backwards, dodging the vines that were about to wrap around his waist and ankles, and stopped accurately in front of a little ice man. With the remaining strength from the movement, he swung the spear fiercely, breaking it into pieces. Then he immediately jumped up, dodging the vines again, and pressed the spear down hard, cutting them off with force. At the same time, he turned around and chopped down to break two little ice men who were summoning other blood vampires, barely clearing a blank area for himself without much blood vampire magic.

As for the price of clearing out such an area, it was naturally the price of all the previous efforts. All the efforts were in vain. Douma walked out of that small corner intact, and the expression on his face eased a little, as if it was because a certain pufferfish had suffered a lot. More importantly, after a certain pufferfish was tied up, it would not explode his melons again.

"You are really pitiful. You can't understand something that ordinary people can understand so easily. Why don't you let me help you? Do you think you, who have no emotions, can understand hope in the face of the crisis of death? That is a very beautiful thing. Just think of it as a gift from a good friend, although it may take you to hell or the next life to understand it."

But unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Ji Zhuyu said that even a clay man still has some temper. You are chasing me and beating me like this, and you still want me to shut up. That is absolutely impossible. With the determination to kill me if you have the ability, and if you can't kill me, then I will double my ridicule, a certain pufferfish shook off the non-existent ice crystals on its spear, pointed the blade at Douma, made an extremely chic gesture, and spoke with sadness and sarcasm.

"It's really hurtful. You were so disgusted last time that you wanted to be beaten to death by me, but it was the sunshine that gave you hope of survival. So I don't understand why you are shouting in front of me? Is it because of the so-called self-confidence? Or is it the amber on your waist?"

Douma felt his face twitching, but unlike before, he could now clearly sense that there seemed to be a bulge on his forehead. He forced a smile and clapped his hands, but it did not express friendliness. Instead, it gave people the feeling that he wanted to slap someone to death. However, this feeling did not last long before he suppressed it again. It can be said that he had carried the word "forbearance" to the extreme.

"I know him. It seems like Muzan is not going to leave you all the information. I thought you were going to be abandoned by that scumbag boss. What a waste of joy."

Ji Zhuyu smiled and retracted his attacking movement a little. He stroked the amber hanging on his waist with one hand, took it off, looked in the direction of Douma, and said meaningfully. As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed that the owner no longer cared whether to hide it or not. The amber emitted layer after layer of light, purifying the body of a certain pufferfish, and clearing away the few remaining ice mist-type blood demon arts around him. Even the people like Kocho Kanae who were standing in the distance were taken care of and their injuries were all healed.

"Don't say that. Lord Muzan is still a good person. At least he is much better than a brat like you who just pokes others." Douma looked at his blood demon technique, which had completely dissipated and only a little bit was left around him. He didn't have any expression. He even thought that the lotus flowers were quite beautiful when they thawed, and he also picked up a little bit of joking thoughts, but not much.

"Yes, because he just wants to live a good life, so he will give cannon fodder like you a lot of benefits, but I don't want to live a good life, and I'm not afraid of death. Everyone has different wishes. You may not understand, but I still want to ask you."

After hearing that he was implied by Douma, Ji Zhuyu shrugged his shoulders like he did before, inserted his spear into the wooden bridge, leaned back and leaned on it, as if to say, since you want to chat, let's talk about who will break into the house first, and acted particularly relaxed.

In order to add a bit of suspense to his words, he even paused halfway through his words and waited for a minute. Seeing that Douma had no intention of asking any questions, although he felt a little unhappy in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, his expression gradually became serious. He stood up straight, held the weapon back in his hand, and asked in a low voice.

"For a guy like you who is born to see through everything, why do you choose to live? Don't you think this world is hypocritical and disgusting? Don't you think those people are pathetic? From my previous observations, you have a very thorough analysis of this world, right? Or have you already forgotten how you felt as a child?"
