Eighth Crown

"This is... my sister."

Tanjirou's face showed a moment of hesitation, but he still told Ryuxia the identity of the girl, "I told you before during the final selection, my family was killed by demons, only my sister was Survive."

When talking about this, Tanjirou's face was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Well!"

Seemingly aware of his mood, the girl beside him tilted her head, as if she was wondering why he was lost, and then hummed softly, trying her best to give him some comfort.

Tanjirou came back to his senses, smiled warmly at the girl, and the look on his face returned to optimism again.

"However, I didn't tell you at that time, my sister Nezuko, when my whole family was killed by ghosts, also became a ghost because of the blood of a ghost. The reason why I want to join the ghost killing Team, I just want to find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human through the Ghost Slayer Team."

Because Liu Xia's identity background is also that the whole family was killed by evil spirits, which is almost exactly the same as Tanjiro's experience, so Tanjiro has a sense of resonance with him.

People who have the same tragic experience are always easy to get close to each other.

In addition to the friendship formed during the final selection, the relationship between the two was actually quite good, so he didn't mind telling Liu Xia about it.

"My sister has become a ghost...that's what happened again."

Liu Xia glanced at the two brothers and sisters in front of her. She didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing for the second time in a short period of time.

In the village controlled by one of the ghosts, Liu Xia also met the Murakami brothers whose elder brother was still human, but his younger brother became an alien ghost.

However, compared with the Murakami brothers, the two kitchen door brothers and sisters in front of them are obviously different.

Murakami himself is extremely afraid of his younger brother who has turned into a ghost, but he uses brotherly love to hypnotize himself, making it seem like a deep relationship between their brothers, but in fact it is just a layer on top of the cruel reality. Beautiful canvas.

But the two brothers and sisters of the Zaomen family, just at first glance, give people a completely different feeling from the brothers of the Murakami family. The atmosphere of mutual trust, mutual comfort, and mutual care cannot be faked.

Looking at the brother and sister in front of him, a certain interest that disappeared because he saw through Murakami's true thoughts resurfaced in Liu Xia's heart.

"Aren't you afraid of being encountered by the swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Team, and are you planning to get rid of evil?"

Liu Xia looked directly at Tanjirou, and there was a rare look of interest in the amber pupils, "For the ghost killing team, ghosts never distinguish between good and evil, and they always kill things."

This is also helpless.

After becoming a ghost, the memory of the original human period will gradually disappear from the mind, forgetting his previous identity, forgetting his former family, and forgetting everything in the human period.

After becoming ghosts, the only desire they have is - cannibalism.

After a person becomes a ghost, it is probably because the energy consumption is too great. The newly born ghost often has an unbearable hunger and an unbearable desire to eat people.

At this time, any human that appears in their eyes is no different from their food. Like beasts who have been fasting for several days, they will jump up and eat each other raw.

In the records of the ghost killing team, not to mention neighbors or irrelevant passers-by, there are even many examples of cannibal evil ghosts who directly attacked their family members after turning into ghosts and devoured them all-because When they become ghosts, it is often their family who remain by their side.

As a result, there will be many tragedies that sound cruel, such as eating raw family members. Husbands, wives, sons, daughters... all the people who used to be very close to them will become food in their mouths.

And they will flee unconsciously, and then continue to prey on other humans, causing more tragedies and harming the world.

Therefore, when the ghost killing team faces ghosts, they will never be allowed to show any mercy. Any evil ghost who eats people must be beheaded mercilessly.

Even ghosts who haven't eaten people before, I'm afraid it will be no exception.

Because no one can guarantee that the ghosts who didn't eat people before will never eat people all their lives, even if the ghost only eats one person after that, and only causes the collapse of just one family, then it's all the ghost killing team's sin.

In order to prevent possible tragedies in the future, it is impossible for the ghost killing team to let go of any ghost.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the word jealousy to describe the ghost killing team.

The same goes for Tanjirou's younger sister, Nezuko Kamado.

As long as she is found to be a ghost, no matter whether she has eaten people before, most of them will face the fate of being killed.

This is also the reason why Tanjirou was hesitant when answering Ryuxia's question before - he was also worried that Ryuxia was the kind of character who showed no mercy to ghosts, so he turned his face and attacked Nezuko directly.

There is no way, Liu Xia's identity setting is that the whole family is killed by ghosts. Under this background, it is understandable that he will have the idea of ​​'killing all the evil ghosts'.

Moreover, just like Zenitsu has a hearing that is far beyond ordinary people and can hear the feelings in other people's words, Tanjiro also has a sense of smell far beyond ordinary people, and he can also smell other people's moods, and he can even smell other people's moves. The weak point is a very powerful and convenient ability.

Zenitsu couldn't hear the feelings in Liu Xia's words, Tanjirou couldn't smell Liu Xia's mood, and neither of them could tell the good and bad of Liu Xia.

The reason why I established a relationship with him was just out of the very simple idea of ​​'wanting to believe in him'. In other words, it was a simple and good character.

"Of course I'm afraid, but even then, I will definitely protect Nezuko!"

In Tanjirou's voice there was a firmness that made Ryukka look sideways, and there was a will that seemed to never waver in his eyes.

"...Do you have the determination to protect your sister even if you sacrifice your own life?"

Liu Xia looked at Tanjirou up and down, his eyes locked on him tightly, trying to find a trace of fear on his face.

But Lucia was disappointed.

"Of course... but, I also hope that such a scene will not come, haha!"

Tanjirou scratched his cheek, and a slightly embarrassed look appeared on his face.

The brothers and sisters of the Zaomen family are indeed different from the brothers of the Murakami family.

"interesting."

As if she saw what she wanted to see, a faint smile appeared on Liu Xia's mouth, "If that's the case, then don't expose your sister to the sight of the Ghost Killing Squad, or it will cause you The scene that I didn’t want to see came early.”

In Liu Xia's eyes, Tanjirou's actions of exposing his sister to his eyes so easily seemed too naive. If his Spiritual Base Ascension Mission I hadn't been completed, he probably wouldn't mind taking his sister to the top.

If you want to protect your sister, this kind of mentality is not enough.

After Liu Xia finished speaking, she ignored the two and turned around and walked towards the nearest ramen shop.

"... Liuxia sauce?"

"Let's have dinner first. If you don't mind, you can come together. I'll treat you."
