[Demon Slayer: Blade] The fiancé is always incompetent and furious

There are still more than two hours until dawn.

Zhu Shi extracted the cells from the toxin and is doing research in the laboratory upstairs.Purgatory Xingshoulang held on to the knife for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't get over the torrential drowsiness. He still held on to the handle of the knife tightly when he was dreaming, as if he would jump up at any moment.

I sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the clock slowly swing.

Tick-tick-tick-the rain of time slowly meanders down.

The charcoal fire in the fireplace exudes a hazy fire light, delicate vases are placed on the thick wooden bookcases, the bordered oil paintings depict the spring scenery, and the cherry blossoms all over the mountains and plains are like clouds and mist.

The mansion hides three humans, two ghosts, and a three-coloured cat napping by the fireplace.

——What a wonderful combination.

I have observed this place for a long time, but I can't find any other adjectives except for the description of "home".

The clock ticked at four-fifteen in the morning.

I met Yushiro at the door.

What a surprise.

It was him who caught me.

When he saw me, he clicked his tongue very impolitely: "Where are you going?"

I continued what he hadn't finished saying: "Of course I'm going to die."

The boy was caught off guard and choked on me.

His delicate facial features wrinkled together, and he said viciously: "Are you going to let down Master Zhu Shi's good intentions?"

But his eyes were the same gentle and clear violet color as Zhu Shi's, even if he put on a fierce look, he didn't look really threatening.

"I should go." I said to him with a smile, "Neither Zhushi nor Yanzhu from the Demon Slayer Squad can be found by Onimai Tsuji at this time."

These people are the hope of defeating Onimai Tsuji, and they must not perish in the long night before dawn.

and I.

"I've lived 1000 years."

When I said these words, my heart was extremely peaceful.

Just like when people look up at the starry sky at night and realize the fact that they are small, they will not feel panic, but will gain great peace.

Even if I live for 1000 years, I am still just an ordinary person.

Whether it's medical skills or swordsmanship, I am inferior to others in every aspect-all I can do with my best is to prevent these hopes from disappearing because of me.

But that's enough.

As the dust that has rolled a little longer in the history of time, if it can do this, it is enough.

Yushiro opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"Do you like Zhu Shi?"

The boy's complexion changed drastically, and he turned red from head to toe in an instant, staring at me speechlessly.

"That's great." I laughed.

When the door was opened, the cold snow captivated the eyes, flying like white fireflies.

"Please tell Zhu Shi for me that I have received the kindness she repaid."

—I have been saved.

……

What is it like to go from old to young?

The old and heavy body became light again, and the legs that had been disabled for life also healed, and they were able to run freely in the fields again.

I, who died during the Warring States Period, returned to the human world when I opened my eyes.

I ran for a long time alone in the rolling fields.

The sound of the rising wind passed through my hair, and the scenery far away spread out as far as the eye could see.The golden sunlight fell into the pupils, such a dazzling color, so bright that it was almost hot.

I ran for a long time in that world alone.

As if without any restraint and without any purpose, I followed the green mountains and plains, chasing the setting sun until I was exhausted, until my sore limbs could no longer be lifted, and my shaky vision was covered with sweat Fuzzy, I finally fell headfirst into the green fields, and every breath of the air that entered my lungs was as sharp as a blade.

I grabbed the turf, my voice was rolling in my throat, and my beating heart was deafening.

The feeling of running is extremely exhilarating, and I should be happy.

I can measure any inch of land in this world with my own feet, whether it is over the mountains or across the long snowfields, I can go anywhere, because I am young again and healthy again.

How desirable is the power of youth.

I was free, I could run as much as I wanted again, and I didn't need support anymore.

How refreshing.

How lonely.

I later settled down in Edo, slowly aging in the same longhouse, dying, and repeating the cycle of life again.

I didn't change my name again.

"A Chao."

"Did you know how to climb trees before?" The girl raised by me laughed happily.

I sometimes see shadows of my past in her.Sometimes life isn't so boring as to be hopeless.

I couldn't help but slightly bent the corners of my lips.

Yes.

Yeah—but that was a long, long time ago.

……

The streets that had snowed all night were covered with a layer of silver.The exhaled breath turned into white mist in front of his eyes, like a short-lived flash in the pan, and the temperature was quickly taken away by the cold winter night.

The mansion with the warm fire burning in the fireplace was far behind me. I chose a direction in the bottomless night and ran for a long time with all my strength.

The snow is much smaller.

Fine white snowflakes fell from the night sky like fragments of feathers, and the white snowdrops fell silently in the field of vision. I finally felt that I had run far enough, and tore off the talisman paper that hid my figure.

I took a big breath.The thin piece of talisman paper was swept away by the night wind. The biting wind brought a biting chill, and every breath that was poured into the lungs brought a sharp pain.

In the silent night, no other sounds can be heard. A lonely street lamp stands in the vast snowy night, and the faint light reflects the shadow of flying snow.

I walked through the unfamiliar streets, only my heart was pounding in my chest, and my rapid breathing kept echoing in my ears.

——I have no intention of running away anymore.

If I stay there, Joo Se's stronghold will be exposed sooner or later.Even if I can reach Ubayashiki's mansion safely, so what?

I spend my whole life hiding in a place where Oni Wu Tsuji can't find, and I don't want that kind of life.

The night wind howled, and the cold snow fell on my cheeks, as if someone called my name softly.

Ah Chao.

When the wind blew by my side, someone gently held my wrist in a trance.

But when I turned around, only the empty streets sighed toward me.

That little bit of weak wind, like an illusion, dissipated without a trace.

I stood in the snowy night and looked up at the moonless sky.

"I found it." A grinning voice came, and those two figures suddenly appeared at the end of the street like night fog, one in front of the other, blocking all my escape routes.

The crisp sound of the bells colliding sounded, and the female ghost with bright yellow eyes clapped her handballs, with an eager look on her face, as if a child had found a favorite toy, but she always kept a close distance from me.

"Don't act rashly, Zhu Shawan." The other ghost who spoke closed his eyes, raised his hands slightly forward, and had arrow pattern eyeballs embedded in his palms.

"You are so talkative, Yawaha." The female ghost clapping the handball showed dissatisfaction, "Such a great achievement must be snatched away immediately."

I smell the stench of blood.

The smell that seemed to be rotting in the soil permeated the cold air.

I calmly interrupt the exchange between the two:

"Where is Ghost Dance Tsuji Mumi?"

That name still seems to be a taboo that cannot be mentioned.

"...You!" The frightened expression was fleeting, and the female ghost suddenly burst out a sharp murderous look at me, "You rude woman!"

"Wait cinnabar pill!!" The eyeball in the male ghost's palm vibrated violently.

But it's too late.

Viscous blood suddenly burst out, and before I could blink, the female ghost fell to her knees clutching her torn arm, wailing twisted and painful like a beast.

"It's too noisy." The man in a suit jacket glanced down casually with dark red eyes.

The painful wailing was cut off suddenly, the female ghost gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground shivering convulsively as if shivering from the cold, a large amount of blood dyed her body into a pool of blood.

"Please...please forgive me."

The male ghost named Yawaha prostrated himself on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground.

"Who told you to speak?" Wu Mi's voice was contemptuous and elegant, and his pale face was terribly cold.

The ghost immediately closed its mouth dripping with cold sweat, as if it would die at any moment, and froze in place motionless.

The empty and quiet streets are filled with winter mist, and on a moonless night, snowflakes are falling from the far end.

"Yoko..." I heard myself say, "please let her go."

Purgatory Xingshoulang survived the fight with Wu Mi. This was not due to strength or luck. It should be that something diverted Wu Mi's attention, or at that moment, he changed his strategy.

"You're taking too long to make a decision, Asahi."

The miserable expression told me that my guess was correct.

"She's just a normal person who doesn't know anything." I looked at him.

"So?" Wu miserable tilted his head, the smile on his lips was like a poppy blooming in the dark night, soaked in malicious venom, "If you beg me, I have to promise you?"

"I'll go with you."

He restrained his false smile, and the gentle fake smile peeled off his handsome and pale face like scales.

I step forward.

"I won't run away again."

Thin and dense cracks, like broken ice, centered on the slender pupil, spread in Wu Mi's eyes.

Plum red eyes stared at me like cold snakes.

He didn't look at the two ghosts lying on the ground.

"Go." With a cold and deep command, the two figures immediately disappeared without a trace.

I walked in front of him, and after hundreds of years, he still looks like a thousand years ago.Black curly hair, a face that was so pale that there was no blood in it, and the slightly drooping eyelids when looking at me, covering up the dark color that seemed to be surging in the eyes.

"come over."

When my ex-fiancé held out his hand to me, for a split second I felt as if he was trying to wring my head off.It seemed to be killing intent, but more viscous and suffocating than that, and it was almost breathless, wrapping me in brightly colored pupils.

"Miss Ah Zhao——!!" The howling cold wind swept up the ground, the sound of the blade being unsheathed, and the cry that broke the silence of the night, I almost turned my head back.

The Ghost Slayer Squad has arrived.

The ground beneath my feet flung open—no, a door did open.

At that moment, Wu Mi grabbed my hand that was stopped in mid-air, and pulled me directly into his arms. When I came back to my senses, I had already fallen down with Wu Mi.

"... Ah Chao!!!"

The sound of the wind was blowing, and the feeling of weightlessness pierced through the heart at that moment.Oni Wu Tsuji Wu tragically clung to my waist, I vaguely heard him laughing, the laughter was cruel and insolent, as if he was mocking the incompetence of the Ghost Slayer Squad, but it seemed to be more than that.

The world on the ground is far away, and the distant sky seems to reveal the precursor of darkness and rupture.

I did not see the light of dawn.

The door that was getting further and further away from me, slammed - completely closed.
