Chapter 426 419. Backlash

This person should still be in a dream. How could he take the initiative to enter this field?

"How is it impossible?"

Xuan Hao had a gentle smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood. He was not angry because this certain ghost created such a dream without authorization or because someone broke into his dream without authorization.

"You...can you know what I'm thinking?"

The fear on the woman's face became more and more intense, and the hand holding the dagger couldn't help but tremble.

As long as the man in front of her is not a fool, she can tell that they should be enemies, but this man is still smiling and confident, which makes her even more nervous.

The most terrifying thing is that her inner thoughts seem to have been completely seen by the man in front of her!

"What you said is so funny."

Xuan Hao smiled softly and stared at the woman in front of him, "Didn't you take the initiative to enter my 'world'? In my 'world', I am naturally omnipotent. How could you escape from your inner thoughts?" Exceed my perception?”

"How...how is it possible?"

The woman looked at the man in front of her in horror. According to this man, didn't he already realize that this was a dream from the beginning? But if that's the case, why do you still get tricked? ?

"Nothing surprising."

The smile on Xuan Hao's face gradually turned cold.

The ghost on the train was well hidden, and he was too lazy to look for it everywhere, so he decided to just take advantage of it.

By the way, we can also know what tricks this ghost will do, but it seems quite disappointing so far.

"It's really sad."

He looked at the woman in front of him with cold eyes.

This woman is just an ordinary person, so she is also within the protection scope of the Demon Slayer Squad.

The swordsmen are already at a disadvantage in the cruel battlefield of fighting ghosts, and now they have to be stabbed in the back by the people they protect.

"No...no...you misunderstood!"

The woman was so frightened that she quickly threw away the dagger in her hand.

"I was forced! Yes! Forced..."

"Uh...cough cough cough..."

Suddenly I was speechless.

The woman covered her neck with both hands, as if something was strangling her throat. The feeling of suffocation made her even more frightened.

Only then did she realize that the flames burning in this space were getting stronger and stronger, and the thin air made her breathless.

This was anger, and she could clearly feel the anger of the person in front of her. Just like what this man said, this is his world, he is omnipotent, and can even change the environment of the world because of his mood.

But...how is this possible? The woman's eyes were full of disbelief. The ghost said that the human heart is as fragile as glass. How could someone be able to dominate their own 'spiritual space' by their own will?

"Do you think I will believe it? I told you this is my world, and no idea you have can escape my perception."

A cold voice asked.

"What you mean by being forced is to enter other people's dreams again and again, and then exchange their lives for your ridiculous dreams again and again?"

The woman in front of him seemed to have been stripped naked in front of Xuan Hao. Everything, including soul and memory, was displayed in front of him without reservation.

Before they boarded the Mugen Train, many Demon Slayer swordsmen who came to investigate the train were killed in this way by these people.

The 'spiritual core' was destroyed and then the body was eaten by the ghost hiding on this train.

"No... no... it's not like that..." The woman struggled to argue.

"indeed."

Xuan Hao sneered and looked down at the woman who was kneeling on the ground and holding her throat and struggling, "You always choose an easier target and use various reasons to comfort yourself."

"An old guy like me should have lived enough, why not fulfill your dream, right? Bully the old man? Is that okay?"

"..."

The previous few times had obviously gone smoothly, so why did she meet such a guy this time... The woman couldn't refute anymore, everything about her was invisible in the eyes of this man.

Even the imperceptible resentment flashing in his eyes could not escape Xuan Hao's eyes.

"well……"

With a sigh, Xuan Hao waved his hand gently, and the flames in the space instantly dissipated.

There is no point in getting angry at such a guy who has been completely controlled by his 'dream'.

If nothing else, Tanjiro and the others should be in the same situation as him. I don’t know if these guys can withstand it, so we’d better solve the problem quickly.

After all, with the kindness of these young men, even if they were stabbed in the back by these people, they wouldn't be able to commit murder, right?

"Ahem..."

The woman who was suddenly able to breathe breathed a sigh of relief, but a trace of doubt arose in her heart.

Is this person... going to let her go?

"How can it be?"

The cold answer made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"You are not very lucky. I am not as upright and kind as those boys."

As he spoke, the clear sound of snapping fingers sounded in the space.

Xuan Hao looked at the bewildered woman in front of him indifferently.

The soul began to collapse. This woman's soul was gradually falling apart. When the soul completely dissipated, it meant 'death'.

This is his spiritual space, and his current state is very special. The body is dispensable to him, and the spirit wrapped in the law of rotation is his origin.

No one can enter this space without his permission.

Once he comes in, everything is controlled by him.

This woman's life and death depended on his thoughts.

Sometimes it is not necessary to kill the body to kill people. It is the same to erase the soul. The same is true for ghosts.

A body without a soul is just an empty shell.

"Have you... seen enough?"

In the conscious space, Xuan Hao raised his head with a sneer. In reality, the entire train began to tremble uncontrollably, as if it was about to lose control.

"Don't leave in a hurry, you can't get out."

As he spoke, Xuanhao raised his hand and pressed it down hard.

A figure wearing a dark evening dress suddenly appeared in this space, and then fell from the sky, letting out a terrified scream.

"You invited me into your dream, but now you want to leave. Isn't it too rude?"

"Who...are you?"

Looking at the dissipating soul of the woman beside him, a trace of fear flashed in Nightmare's eyes.

Even if this is in this man's mental space... but directly erasing a person's consciousness, is this something that humans can do?

"You don't have to know."

As the cold and ruthless voice fell, Nightmare was horrified to find that his consciousness was gradually collapsing.

"how so!?"

He just felt that the speed of destroying the 'spiritual core' by those useless humans this time was too slow, so he wanted to check the situation, but who knew that he was forcibly pulled in as soon as he came into contact with this man's dream, and even There is no room for resistance!

"What will happen to me?"

Nightmare's eyes were full of incomprehensible fear, and even he himself had never imagined that he would encounter such a situation.

He himself is a ghost who manipulates dreams. Playing with people's consciousness is his specialty, but now he is being manipulated in the opposite direction.

Who is this person in front of me? He had never heard of any human being able to do such a thing.

"What should I do?" Nightmare was completely panicked.

If he continues like this, his consciousness will be wiped out, his soul will be damaged, and he will become an idiot or a living body.

"That's right! That adult!"

The nightmare seemed to grasp hope.

He was thinking that if he could take the initiative to contact that adult, that adult might be able to save him! ?

But the actual situation made him even more desperate.

From the moment his consciousness was pulled into this space, everything from the outside world has been completely cut off.

It was impossible for him to deliver even the slightest bit of news from here.

No one will know what happened here, and no one will know what happened to him. Even Wuhan will not be able to find any useful information from it. He will only wonder how this ghost suddenly became an idiot. Or descend into uncontrolled 'madness'.

"game over."

······

The entire train was trembling violently, as if it would run off the track at any time.

It was wrapped in strange, sarcoma-like flesh and blood, making it look uncomfortable.

In the train.

Xuanhao, who was sleeping, felt a touch of warmth.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings.

The entire train has changed greatly, both inside and outside.

There was strange flesh and blood everywhere.

He finally understood why he couldn't feel the specific location of the ghost, because the entire train had turned into the ghost's body.

But now, because of the pain of "tearing" the soul, this ghost began to run away according to instinct.

Next to her was Nezuko, whose forehead was red from being hit.

The warmth just now was due to the vampire technique 'Bloodshot' that Nezuko had mastered at some point.

The magnificent flames enveloped him and Tanjiro beside him, seemingly trying to wake them both up.

Xuanhao has destroyed the consciousness of the nightmare that broke into his dream, and then, Tanjiro and others with painful expressions also woke up in horror, except for Zenitsu.

"Ale? What happened while I was sleeping?"

Purgatory Anjuro released his right hand apologetically.

At this moment, his right hand was holding a girl's neck tightly.

The hemp rope on the girl's wrist was connected to him, as if she had entered his dream through some kind of magic, but was restrained by his body's instinct at the critical moment.

After observing some of the surroundings and feeling the violent shaking of the train, Xingshoulang looked at Xuanhao aside.

"Mr. Xuanhao, do you know what's going on?"

"The ghost in the second line," Xuan Hao stood up slowly, "His ability should be to kill people through dreams, but he is fine. This train is his body, and it is starting to get out of control."

"Although I don't quite understand, what we should do now is to control this train and protect the people in the carriage, right?"

Xingjulang seemed to understand but not quite.

But he knew very well that the few of them did not wake up through their own will. It was more like the spell was interrupted. It seemed that somewhere he didn't know, Mr. Xuanhao had already interacted with the ghost. The fight passed.

"As a pillar, I didn't notice it at all! I'm really unworthy of the name of Nine Pillars! I really want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in!"

As he spoke, he pulled out the Nichirin Sword from his waist.

"Tanjiro, Inosuke."

Xuan Hao looked at the two boys who were coming over and shouted.

"Find a way to find the location of this ghost's 'neck' and stop its rampage. Leave the rest to us."

He knew the abilities of these two boys. One had a sensitive nose and the other had a developed sense of touch. It was perfect to entrust them with this kind of task.

If possible, he would even want Zenitsu to come with him. This guy's hearing is also different from ordinary people, but now... he is not very obedient when he is asleep, and this guy has always been guarding Nezuko with a prepared look.

"Huh? Oh!"

Although Tanjiro didn't know what happened, he had no doubts about his teacher's words.

"Okay! After you finish this job, can you accept me as your disciple!?"

Inosuke on the side was a little excited, and he finally found a chance to perform.

This old man is ridiculously strong, and his training methods are unprecedentedly abnormal. If he wants to become stronger quickly, training with this old man is the best choice.

After Tanjiro and Inosuke left in the direction of the front of the car, only Xuanhao, Purgatory Anjuro, Nezuko and Zenitsu were left by Nezuko's side.

"Then let's take action!"

The expression on Anjuro's face became a little serious, "There are eight carriages in this train. Nezuko and Zenitsu will be in charge of this last one."

"Woo!"

Nezuko nodded obediently.

"Very good, Mr. Xuanhao, let's go too! Clean the limbs of these ghosts in the carriage so that Tanjiro and Inosuke can better find the ghost's vital points!"

Xingshoulang greeted Xuanhao.

"No. I have other things to do."

Xuan Hao shook his head slowly.

"You protect the passengers and leave the rest to me."

"The rest?" Xingjulang was a little confused.

Anything else? Why couldn't he feel it at all?

Xuanhao remained silent. This matter was not as simple as Xingshoulang imagined.

Anjuro couldn't feel normal because his range of perception was much wider than Anjuro's.

Near the woods not far ahead of the train's path, there were several disgusting smells waiting there.

"one two three……"

There were three breaths in total, the intensity of which was not much different. They were all probably at the level of the Ghost of Xixian. They seemed to have been premeditated.

Counting one of the last strings just now, there should be almost all the ghosts of the last string left in the 'Twelve Ghost Moons'. It seems that there is still one missing...

But no matter what, the answer is obvious. This is not a simple ghost attack on humans, but a general attack by evil ghosts!

Ghosts generally don’t act in groups, let alone those self-righteous ‘Twelve Ghost Moons’.

If Xuan Hao's guess is correct... this is probably because Gui Wu Tsuji Mumei sensed the potential threats and sent them to eliminate these threats.

Fortunately, he came with Tanjiro and the others. Otherwise, if he had faced the siege of five Shige no Oni at the same time, even Anjurou would not have been able to guarantee the safety of so many people at the same time.
