Chapter 1634 Infinite Train

Chapter 1634 Infinite Train (I can’t eat unfamiliar instant noodles)
“Bang…Bang…Bang…Bang…”

The sound of the railway echoed in his ears like a lullaby, and then Duanmu Huai had a dream.

In his dream, he saw a unique scene.

In a Japanese-style courtyard, there were several figures standing. They were all wearing ancient costumes. Duanmu Huai looked at them as if he was watching a scene from a costume drama.

"………The girl who killed the Twelve Demon Moons?"

"Yes, that child may look petite, but he is very powerful."

"Where did she get her Nichirin sword? Without it, there's no way she can kill the demons."

"According to my investigation, it seems that the swordsman who failed in his previous attempt to defeat the evil spirit left it there."

"She killed the lower moon of the Twelve Demon Moons in an instant with her own strength? If what you said is true, then this little girl really has a bright future."

"No, it's not an instant kill."

Duanmu Huai looked in the direction of the voice and saw one of them shaking her head. She had long black hair and butterfly hair accessories. He remembered that her name seemed to be... Butterfly Kanae?

"Ok?"

“It’s a massacre.”

"…………………"

"She was cruel and passionate about killing. She seemed to enjoy killing evil spirits. When she killed the Lower String Five, she not only easily blocked the opponent's strongest attack, but also cut it in half - vertically."

"Is that really human?"

"At least I didn't sense the breath of a ghost from her, but the murderous aura from her is far stronger than that of a ghost."

"Why didn't you bring her back?"

"Because the kid said she was just a traveler and had more important things to do."

"But if he's a dangerous guy, shouldn't he be brought back by force?"

"It's just my intuition..."

When Kocho Kanae said this, a helpless bitter smile appeared on her face.

"If I attack that kid, I'm afraid I'll be killed too."

Well, that's true.

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai nodded. Their primary goal at that time was to return to the modern era, so if this woman insisted on keeping them, then Duanmu Huai might kill them. Of course, Sakurajima Mai and Kurokawa Akane might not want to do this.

"What a pity! I hope we can meet her again one day. After hearing the rumors about her, I became very interested in that girl."

At this point, everyone stopped talking, as if the topic had come to an end. Then, they all looked in another direction at the same time.

"Well, let's move on to the second topic..."

The scenery in front of him gradually became blurred, and then—Duanmu Huai opened his eyes.

“Bang…Bang…Bang…Bang…”

The sound of the rails was the same as always, but what appeared before Duanmu Huai's eyes was no longer a white modern carriage, but a wooden carriage that looked very old under the dim light.

Crossed again?

Duanmu Huai was surprised and speechless when he saw this scene. There was no fog this time, and why did the train change?
"—————————!"

At this moment, Duanmu Huai felt the knife in the guitar case behind him tremble suddenly and emit a bloody smell.

"………………………"

Could it be that the reason for the travel through time was not the fog, but this knife?

Could it be that the first time I traveled through time, it was because the knife wanted someone to use it, so it summoned me and others to the past?

Thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem difficult to understand. After all, after returning to the modern era, the shrine had long been abandoned. If I and others hadn't gone there, the sword would have become scrap metal.

To be honest, Duanmu Huai still prefers the chainsword, but the Japanese sword... well, it can be used as a makeshift one.

Duanmu Huai opened the guitar case, took out the knife hidden inside, and stood up.

This place looks like a hard seat car on a train, with people sitting all around. Well, Duanmu Huai doesn't have any good memories of hard seat cars. He remembers that when he went back to his hometown, he once sat in a hard seat car on a green train during the National Day holiday.

What a nightmare.

Especially considering Duanmu Huai's size, there is nothing more nightmarish than this.

That was the first time he had the urge to climb onto the roof of the train.

The best thing about being reborn like this is that I don’t have to worry about occupying a seat when I take public transportation.

When taking a plane or high-speed train, Duanmu Huai has to buy seats for two people.

This is the only thing that's better than the original.

It was still night outside, and the passengers all seemed to be in deep sleep. Duanmu Huai glanced around and then walked towards the carriage in front.

Passing through carriage after carriage, all I saw were sleeping passengers. Although it was normal for passengers to sleep late at night, the situation of these passengers was different. They looked like they were forced into some kind of deep sleep that they could not wake up from. Even though Duanmu Huai walked around in front of them and even made some strange movements, they didn't care at all.

"Hmm... You won't wake up like this."

Duanmu Huai looked at the girl in kimono in front of him. Seeing that she had fallen asleep just now, he took this opportunity to study her carefully.

As a result, although the girl in kimono reacted, she showed no sign of waking up.

Well, this reminded Duanmu Huai of a comic he had read before, in which the protagonist woke up and found that everyone in the world was asleep, so he could do whatever he wanted. As a result, the protagonist later discovered that his OO could wake up those sleeping people...

It’s a pity that there are no tools in this world, otherwise he would really like to try it—ok, just kidding.

After all, now is not the time to do this kind of thing.

Duanmu Huai rubbed his hands, then walked into the next carriage, and then he saw two people standing there.

One of them was a prickly-haired boy who looked to be in his teens, with a large burn scar on his left forehead... Hmm, a boy with a scar on his forehead? Train?

Duanmu Huai turned his head silently and looked around.

Is this the Japanese version of Harry Potter?
"Ah, Miss Love!"

However, what surprised Duanmu Huai even more was that the other party actually called out his name, and then came to him with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect you to be on this train too! That's great! To be honest, I didn't know what to do just now..."

"Who are you……………"

Looking at the prickly young man in front of him, Duanmu Huai frowned. Although he was indeed quite famous as an artist, this world was in the past. Moreover, the other party's attitude towards him was obviously not just at the level of having heard of him. It seemed that he even knew him?
But the prickly boy didn't care. He just pointed at himself and smiled.

"It's me. I'm Tanjiro Kamado. Thanks to your help at Fujisaka Mountain, Shinko and Saneto have always wanted to thank you... But why did you disappear after the final test? Didn't you also join the Demon Slayer Corps?" "Oh..."

Although the specific situation was not clear, Duanmu Huai had traveled through time many times and was very experienced, so he immediately understood what the thorny boy meant. Whether traveling from the future or the past, time does not flow linearly, but is just connected together. And for Duanmu Huai, it was obvious that he went to the place called Tengxi Mountain again after this, and then rescued the thorny boy and others there.

In other words, there is also a ghost that Teng Xishan can kill?
I'll go back and take a look, but having said that...

"she is………?"

Duanmu Huai looked at the little girl who was holding Tanjiro's clothes. She seemed to be only four or five years old, and she was biting a bamboo tube in her mouth.

"She is my sister, Nezuko Kamado..."

"younger sister?"

"Yes………"

"But she's not human."

Duanmu Huai stared at the little girl and reached out his hand to place it on the hilt of the knife. Although it was very faint, he could feel the breath of the evil spirit emanating from the little girl.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Please, please listen to me!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai's actions, Tanjiro hurriedly stood in front of him.

"Nezuko is my sister. She was turned into an evil spirit by other demons! But I can guarantee that she has never eaten anyone! And I will never let her eat people!"

"How dare you bring her with you? You are a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, right? Isn't the Demon Slayer Corps an organization that exterminates evil spirits?"

"Yes...but the pillars have seen it. Even when faced with blood, Nezuko held back and didn't attack anyone! And the lord is willing to let us stay. I promise that I will never let Nezuko lose control. If Nezuko really does something irreversible..."

"Ok?"

"I will kill her myself, and then commit hara-kiri!"

“……………………”

I have to say, this Showa style left Duanmu Huai speechless.

What the hell, he just committed seppuku while talking?

And looking at this boy's expression, he seems to be serious?

Are you kidding me? What era is this? You are still committing seppuku—Oh, it seems like this is really the era of seppuku.

That's fine.

Duanmu Huai stared at Nezuko silently, and sighed after a moment.

It seems that the joke that the Inquisition is full of aliens will never be solved. Even the Demon Slayer Corps cannot escape this curse.

It is important to maintain the purity of the team... Although it is useless to say this now.

Forget it. The Demon Slayer Corps is not a subordinate organization of the Inquisition. It’s up to them to decide their life and death.

You have to pay for your own mistakes.

But don't let Duanmu Huai see this guy in modern times, otherwise he will take action on the spot.

"We'll talk about it later. Let's first tell you what's going on here... Is that your companion?"

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai nodded towards a chair not far away, where he saw a golden-haired creature lying in a mess, a man wearing a wild boar head mask, and two familiar figures.

Um, I remember her name was Butterfly Kanae? The other one was her sister?
"Ah, yes!"

Only when he saw Duanmu Huai's eyes move away from Nezuko did Tanjiro breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly explain.

"Lady Kanae heard that the number of missing persons on the Infinite Train had increased, so she brought us here to check out the situation and investigate the man-eating demons that haunted the train. But we didn't expect that we would be hit by the demon's blood demon technique as soon as we got on the train and fell into a deep sleep. If it weren't for Nezuko's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wake up until now."

"What's up with those little ghosts?"

Duanmu Huai raised his chin and pointed at the three children lying in the aisle.

"They were bewitched by evil spirits and tried to harm us while we were asleep..."

"You didn't kill them?"

"They are just children!"

Tanjiro was shocked to hear Duanmu Huai's question.

"And they were only coerced by the evil spirits. They didn't want to do this. If they didn't do it, they would be killed by the evil spirits..."

"Then go to hell. A scum who betrays humanity has no right to live in this world."

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

"Loyalty itself is a reward. To lose loyalty is to lose everything. Without loyalty to humanity, no matter what the reason, in the final analysis, you are nothing more than a traitor who needs to be eliminated. If loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal."

"But……………"

"I'm not here to argue with you about such nonsense."

Duanmu Huai obviously did not intend to let this prickly young man convince him with words, and simply waved his hand to interrupt his rebuttal.

"So, what's the problem now?"

"I can't wake up Lady Kanae and the others."

The resentful boy was wise enough not to dwell on this issue any further.

"I've tried calling them, but it's no use..."

"Um……………"

"Miss Little Love?"

"To put it simply, these people are dreaming, and what we need to do now is to wake them up from their dreams, right?"

"That's right..."

"I see."
