Demon Slayer: From the Upper Ranks of Muzan

The old man was so tired that he was lying on the ground.

"Ah...Ah...A-choo!"

Saburo sneezed and was still shaking.

He tightened the three quilts on his body and took the hot water that Tanjuro brought over.

"Anyway, I still have to thank you, Mr. Saburo. Thank you for saving our family at the risk of your life." Tanjuro said.

Saburo waved his hand: "Don't say it, I wanted to save you, but I didn't expect to be saved by you."

Tanjuro looked at Shinya basking in the sun in the snow, and his children who were full of curiosity beside him.

"Hmm... cough... cough... cough... cough..."

Suddenly, Shinya opened his eyes and coughed violently.

The severe pain coming from his body, including his lungs, made him cough to cover up his embarrassment.

Fire God Kagura is a simplified version of Sun Breathing, and it is not as powerful or difficult as the original Sun Breathing.

But even so, every time he breathes according to the rhythm of Fire God Kagura, Shinya feels that the cells of the ghost in his body are burning.

And the cells of the ghost are hidden deep in their own human cells during the day, so this burning sensation can also be felt by Shinya as a human.

Shinya speculates that if it is a real ghost, practicing Fire God Kagura is tantamount to suicide, and the characteristics of Sun Breathing will only ignite the cells of the ghost.

But Shinya is a special existence, because Shinya believes that Fire God Kagura will destroy the cells of the ghost in his body and retain the human body.

In other words, if he continues to practice Fire God Kagura, he may turn back to human.

It’s okay to turn back to human, but I’m afraid that after my cells are killed, the flow, Ling Yuzi, Fuuji and Kanae who accept my blood will undergo uncontrollable mutations.

Of course, the one who was most worried was Sosuke.

If his own demon cells were killed, Sosuke, who was already over 120 years old, would probably not survive.

"No, it seems that the blue Higanbana is the key." Shinya thought to himself.

"Hey, uncle evil demon!"

"Huh?"

Shinya looked in the direction of the voice and saw a child standing in front of him.

"Can I see your teeth?" the child said.

"Hey, Takeo, don't be rude." Tanjiro immediately scolded.

Takeo was full of dissatisfaction: "But, brother, you are also curious, right?"

Tanjiro: "I don't have it. Even if I do, I should be polite."

Takeo: "Then what should I do?"

Tanjiro: "Watch it!"

As he said that, Tanjiro walked in front of Shinya, quickly bent down, bowed 90 degrees, and said loudly: "Uncle evil ghost, my brother and I, can we see your evil ghost's teeth? Please!"

This scene scared Tanjiro so much that his face turned pale. Tanjiro felt that the life span he lost by forcing himself to dance the Kagura dance last night was not as much as the scene in front of him.

Not to mention Saburo, as a ghost hunter, he naturally knows what ghosts look like.

Although the ghost in front of him can survive under the sun for some reason and become no different from humans.

However, this does not mean that he is safe.

Saburo's heartbeat is accelerating now. If he is not too old, he probably will have a stripe.

He is now afraid that Shinya will suddenly jump up and swallow the two brothers in one gulp.

Shinya looked at the two children who were full of curiosity, and then looked at the sun hanging in the sky.

Then he covered his mouth with his hands, turned his back to the sun, and showed two sharp fangs.

"Ah!!! Ghost!"

The two brothers were so scared that they rolled and crawled into the house.

Shinya looked at the two brothers who were running away, and didn't say much.

He just touched the back of his neck, which was a little hot. He didn't control it well just now, so the evil ghost cells on the back of his neck appeared and were exposed to the sun a little.

After a while, the two brothers ran out again.

Tanjiro protected Takeo behind him and said, "Can you please show it again? We didn't see it clearly just now."

"Tanjiro... cough cough cough..." Tanjiro was almost out of breath. He was afraid that if Tanjiro did this, he would faint before being eaten by the ghost.

"Ah!!! Ghost!"

The two brothers ran back to the house again, shouting and shivering in the house.

After a while, Tanjiro ran out with Takeo again.

"Mr. Devil, please let us see it once more."

......

"Ah!!! Ghost!"

.......

"Please look again!"

....

"Help!

, there is a ghost!"

......

After repeating this many times, the two brothers were tired and stopped bothering Shinya.

Shinya was not angry, but thought it was fun to tease children like this.

"Uncle evil ghost! !"

At this time, Nezuko ran out of the mountain with her sister Hanako.

Aoi followed behind, holding her youngest son Rokuta in her arms, and Shigeru beside her.

Shinya looked at the group of children, and then looked at Tanjuro who looked weak.

He seemed to know something.

"Uncle evil ghost, we went up the mountain with mom and picked some wild vegetables we usually eat." Hanako put the bamboo basket in front of Shinya.

Shinya scratched his head and looked at the ordinary wild vegetables in front of him.

It's okay if they look ordinary, but there are blue ones here.

"The blue wild vegetables Uncle evil ghost mentioned haven't grown, and mom can rarely pick them. "Nezuko said, seeing Shinya's disappointed look.

"Really? That's fine." Shinya sighed.

I've been waiting for more than a hundred years, so a few years won't hurt.

If it doesn't work, I'll just be a little less of a human being, just wait for the plot to start, and then collect Nezuko's blood.

Although I feel a little guilty about this, it is indeed the safest way.

At this time, a black passage appeared at the door of Tanjuro's house.

Ryu walked out of it and said, "Sir Shinya, it's time to go back."

Shinya was stunned: "Is it time?"

Ryu said, "Yes, he is waiting for you."

Shinya stood up and said, "I know, let's go."

At this time, Saburo was already sweating profusely.

"Is that...Ryu? Banda's disciple? "Saburo looked at Ryu's appearance and was shocked.

Banda Sakonji was Saburo's friend of the same period.

Before he died, he asked me to take care of his only disciple, but what kind of place is the Hunter Corps?

Saburo couldn't take care of himself, how could he have the energy to take care of others?

Until one day, Ryu was declared missing by the organization.

Saburo thought he died in the battle, but he turned into a ghost.

Saburo, who originally felt guilty for not taking good care of his old friend and disciple, felt mixed emotions at this time.

He saw that Ryu didn't look at him more, and didn't dare to call him.

"Eh? Is the evil ghost uncle leaving?" Tanjiro and Takeo brothers were a little reluctant to let Shinya go.

Shinya smiled and said, "Don't worry Tanjiro, we will meet one day. But by that time, perhaps everything will change dramatically. "

After saying that, he led Liu into the passage.

As the passage closed, Shinya seemed to have never been here before.

The end of the passage connected to the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise Cult, where a familiar figure was waiting for him.

"So slow!"

"This doesn't sound like the attitude of asking for help, Akaza." Shinya responded with a smile.

Akaza said: "In recent years, I often dream."

Shinya asked with interest: "What do you dream about?"

Akaza said: "Fireworks, a snowflake hairpin, and..."

"Okay, since I asked you to come, I am sure I can help you regain your memory." Shinya said.

Akaza looked at Shinya and said meaningfully: "Shinya, although I don't know why, Lord Muzan has never doubted you in the past hundred years. But I can feel that you have always hated ghosts in your heart, hating all the ghosts in this world, including Lord Muzan. Of course, this also includes me, right? "

Shinya looked at Akaza and said slowly: "That's right."

"Can you tell me the reason?" Akaza asked.

Shinya said: "Because I am a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, I am the Sound Pillar. I am forced to become a demon like you."

Akaza was stunned: "Like me?"

Shinya looked into Akaza's eyes: "What's wrong? Have you not had the truth about that night in the dreams you have had in the past few years? Komaji. "
