It is said that Sun Pillar-sama is the god of fire

Recently, for some unknown reason, a rumor began to spread.

It is said that there is a monster that only appears in the dark.

That kind of monster only feeds on humans.It has a power far beyond that of human beings, and even a powerful swordsman is vulnerable to this monster.

If you accidentally place an order at night, you will be led into the gloomy alley without a sound, and you will never be seen again.

When it was discovered many days later, it was already a thick skeleton.As if eaten by a wild dog, the dirty and smelly intestines rolled down along the almost rotten flesh and scattered all over the ground.

No one knows where this monster came from, let alone when this monster will appear.What ordinary people can do is to close the door tightly and pray for a peaceful night in the dark night.

In addition to looking at the wreckage that the family members couldn't even piece together in great grief, the innocent families who were killed silently complained about the injustice of fate, and mourned the monster's conscience.

They can't do anything except pray to the gods in front of their relatives' spirit tablets, praying that their relatives' souls can become Buddhas and leave.

And this prayer was clearly heard by the gods.

Kamado Tanjirou stood silently behind the woman who was crying bitterly because of the loss of his relatives, his crimson eyes were half closed, and the closed eyelids concealed the sorrow and guilt in the eyes.

Such a tragic situation, even as a god, he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

That is blasphemy against the dead.

Just seeing the miserable corpse for a second, Kamado Tanjiro was instantly frozen, and he froze on the spot, unable to move.

The sun is shining brightly tomorrow, and the ground is emitting a gentle warmth under the sunlight, but Vulcan is like falling into an ice cellar, a bone-piercing cold rushes straight down his back to his brain, almost freezing his soul .

You can't go wrong.Kamado Tanjiro covered his mouth, and took a few steps back uncontrollably, his usually soft crimson eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

There was still a faint stench in the air, and the smell in Vulcan's nose almost made him unsteady, leaning against the wall and retching.

how can that be possible.he thought.

Obviously, there are no ghosts in this world, right?

Vulcan desperately wanted to tell himself that this was just a mistake—after all, human life is so fragile, maybe it just died suddenly on the street and was discovered by hungry wild dogs?

Kamado Tanjirou tightly clutched the front of his shirt, the gorgeous black dress was torn out by him with ugly wrinkles, leaving it dry on Kagami's chest.

But how could he admit his mistake?

That was the tragedy he had hated himself countless times for being powerless, and only ghosts could cause it.

The faint stench still permeated the tip of his nose, Kamado Tanjiro suppressed retching, and tightly covered his mouth, almost suffocating.

What went wrong?He thought in a daze.

At what step did he go wrong, which caused this era to produce such a source of tragedy?

No, there is still time.

Kamado Tanjiro stumbled out of the door, and the vase he accidentally knocked down shattered on the ground, making a loud noise, and the relatives of the deceased screamed in horror, but Kagami still swayed outward as if he didn't hear it go.

You still have time.Kamado Tanjirou said this to himself.

Before more ghosts have been created, as long as he can be found and the root cause of all this can be stopped in time to prevent the spread of this tragedy.

As long as he can be found—Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi, everything can be redeemed.

Even if he is required to pay his own life, he will definitely wipe out the ghosts completely!

****

Closing the books he had read countless times, the black-haired young man sighed deeply, the flickering lights were reflected in those black eyes like ink, dyeing those cold eyes with a touch of warmth.

It's been a long time since Kamado Tanjiro has replaced him with a new book.

Holding his head bored, the black-haired young man casually fiddled with the wick in the candle, watching the faint flame swaying in front of his eyes, as if he would lightly blow it out in the next second.

Standing up in silence, Yue Yan picked up the medicine bowl that had been placed on the corner of the table that was already completely cold, and tilted his wrist slightly, watching the black sour and bitter medicine gradually seep into the soil in front of the window, and was covered by an unknown amount of weeds buried in the ground. The seeds are absorbed.

He pursed his lips. For some reason, his five senses, which had become quite sensitive, could still smell the bitter smell of medicine lingering around the window, overshadowing the extremely faint smell of blood on his body.

It was not the first day for Yue Yan to pour out this dark-looking, undrinkable medicine.

Anyway, this thing is no longer able to cure his illness.

Sitting at the table again, the black-haired young man was silent for a moment, and silently opened the storybook he had read countless times, laughing silently at the extremely absurd stories in the storybook.

It is just a human fantasy that a kind and simple scholar is favored by the gods because of his excellent qualities, so the gods turn into mortals and stay with the scholar for the rest of their lives.

Unless they have endless lives, human beings are just insignificant passers-by in the eyes of the gods, and will one day be completely forgotten in the long river of memory.

The black-haired young man is actually not quite able to know what Kamado Tanjirou has been doing recently.

The gods never take the initiative to tell him what the gods do, and he never has the position to ask.

However, he was certain of one thing, Vulcan didn't know what he was investigating recently, and was in an extremely depressed mood.

Tsukihiko once asked Kamado Tanjiro what happened, but Kagami just shook his head.

"It's nothing, Yue Yan. I will definitely kill all of this at the first sign." The Vulcan who said these words contained a sadness and firmness that the black-haired youth had never seen before.

"Even if it takes everything."

God swears so.

Perhaps Cao Cao Cao Cao's words are also applicable to the gods. Just thinking about Vulcan, the black-haired young man heard a harsh "squeak" from the old wooden door, and the tired Vulcan slowly pushed the door and entered .

Tanjiro Kamado is in terrible shape - at least in the eyes of the dark-haired youth.The unnatural folds on the front of the chest quite abruptly destroyed the beauty of the whole costume. Vulcan lowered his eyebrows and greeted the young man with a smile as if comforting him, his eyes could not conceal the fatigue.

"What's the matter?" Hastily walked to Kamado Tanjirou, the black-haired young man wanted to help Kagami to sit down, but was rejected by Kamado Tanjirou with a wave of his hand.

Vulcan often breathes a sigh of relief, as if to eliminate all the fatigue of the day.Kamado Tanjiro lowered his shoulders and leaned against the edge of the bed, the muscles that had been tense all day finally relaxed.

"It's nothing, I'm just investigating rumors." The god stretched out his hand, as if explaining to the black-haired youth.

"Have you heard of Yue Yan, the rumor about the monster?"

Hearing this sentence, the young man's expression was a little strange: "Ah... probably heard of it."

"Has Tanjiro been investigating this for the past few days?" He lowered his hands in silence, his half-closed eyes blocking the deep thinking in his eyes.

"Maybe it's just a story made up by people, those so-called victims..."

"it is true."

Before the black-haired youth could finish speaking, Kamado Tanjiro spoke affirmatively, interrupting Tsukihiko's conjecture straightforwardly.

"I know that monsters called 'ghosts' definitely exist."

"Only ghosts can cause such a tragedy." The flame god spoke earnestly and firmly, as if he believed in it deeply.

"I will definitely kill all the evil spirits in this world."

The book in Yueyan's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the young man froze on the spot, his deep and delicate facial features flickering under the faint light of the fire, and his dark and deep eyes were covered by shadows. Even with Vulcan's eyesight, he couldn't see clearly what kind of expression was in those eyes at the moment.

The black-haired young man pursed his lips and frowned. It took him a long time to finally notice the book that had fallen on the ground, and he bent over to pick it up stiffly.

There were faint veins popping out of the hand holding the book tightly, and the pages were ripped into ugly wrinkles.Tsukihiko stood up without saying a word, sat silently at the wooden table, silently turned his back to Vulcan.

"No matter what kind of ghost, Tanjirou, will you kill it..." After a long time, the black-haired young man's voice seemed to be forced out of his throat, and he gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice.

He seems to still have an inexplicable fluke mentality, full of anticipation, hoping to hear the answer he wants from the mouth of the god——

"Yes." Kamado Tanjiro replied firmly. "The crime of murder is unforgivable. No matter what kind of ghost it is, as long as it harms the world, I will kill it without hesitation."

Then, if the evil spirit sincerely repents before death, he will also wish these miserable souls to find peace.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Tsukihiko from the hands of evil spirits." Sensitive nose captured the complex emotions on the young man at this moment, Tanjiro Kamado walked silently behind the black-haired youth, and silently surrounded Tsukihiko's thin body spine.

"So, Yueyan." Lying next to Yueyan's ear, the young man's breath was clearly transmitted into Vulcan's nasal cavity without omission.

Vulcan froze slightly, then relaxed his muscles before the young man noticed the abnormality, and leaned against the young man's back as if nothing had happened, as if the momentary stiffness was just an illusion.

The god broke off the black-haired young man's head forcefully, and his crimson pupils faced those deep black pupils unobstructed, almost causing Yueyan to have the illusion that his own soul would be completely seen through in a trance.

"Don't lie to me." The god said in his ear.

His voice trembled slightly, as if he was afraid of some established fact. He had already noticed the clue, but he wanted to deceive himself and others, thinking it was just his own illusion.

"Yueyan, don't lie to me." The black-haired young man was slightly taken aback.Maybe he was really stunned, and maybe he could hear some kind of emotion called hope from the words of the gods.

"Hmm." He replied softly, turning his head to refuse to meet those crimson eyes.

"I will not lie to you."

Tsukihiko wasn't sure if Kagami heard his answer.The god just let go of his embrace silently, watching him quietly with an expression that he couldn't understand.

— cheating.

——You are clearly lying to me.
