Chapter 59 I’ve been waiting for a long time
  "Is it too late to chase Kamado Tanjiro now?"

After letting Shadow Wolf brutally slaughter a litter of rats, [Hundred Rats Kill] Ke Ling thought about this possibility.

After all, Tanjiro Kamado is one of the few plot characters he knows in this world.

And Kamado Tanjiro brother and sister were recommended to find the old man named Nintaki Sakonji. This looks like a plot of apprenticeship.

The last time I didn't want to follow him, it was because I was worried that I was weak and had obvious weaknesses. Following the troubled protagonist would be a suicide. It would be better to stay in the mountains to fight monsters and level up.

But things are different now. Although he has not become the Shilipo Sword God, he wears a prosthetic skin and no longer has to worry about the sun. He is already qualified to have a career.

Although all the prosthetic skins are just cheap basic models, it’s a bit ridiculous to say that.

He is now not afraid of swords, guns, swords, cold, heat, water, fire, thunder and lightning, and can even become invisible.

"Let's take it one step at a time. It would be great if we could catch a ghost."

After thinking about it again and again, Ke Ling chose to walk in the direction of Zawu Mountain first, which was considered a destination.

Ke Ling wasn't sure whether this Misty Mountain was a good place to go. What if this was the place where the protagonist experienced a disaster in the early stage?

When the time comes, he dives in, and the protagonist takes advantage of the opportunity, pats his butt and leaves, and he, a stupid young man, might have to stay in it.

Now he just wants to find a ghost to supplement the company's basic training. He has to understand the concept of ghost first, and he can't just explore it all by himself.

"Where can ghosts appear?"

Ke Ling, as a ghost, has a say in this question. First of all, it must be a place with people. If it is too far away from the human world, does it mean that he wants to starve to death?
  "Thinking about it this way, I feel that there are probably ghosts hiding in the city, and there should be a lot of ghosts scattered on various rural roads, especially those that must be passed by pedestrians. If there is nothing wrong, you can catch pedestrians and eat them."

Ke Ling thought about it for a moment and thought it was reasonable.

Ghosts are actually quite tolerant. They roam around on country roads and occasionally catch a pedestrian to eat. This fills their stomachs and is not easily noticed.

If it were him, he would do this. It would be much safer than big cities. After all, those ghost hunters would definitely have a base in big cities, right?
  Although there is more food in big cities, the risk of exposure is also greater, which is suitable for strong ghosts.

Ke Ling didn't want to trouble the big ghost yet. He had to eat his food one bite at a time, so he asked the little ghost about the situation first.

Of course, if you want to find ghosts, you must look for them at night, because there will definitely be no ghosts looking for death during the day.

Ke Ling asked someone on the road for the direction of Shawu Mountain. It was not too far from here, so he walked quickly along a remote path.

In fact, Ke Ling is not suitable for walking on the road, because if he runs too fast, the optical camouflage on the corners of his head will become ineffective.

There is no way, cheap old models are like this, there will always be various problems.

It wasn't until night that Ke Ling stopped and ran for the entire day.

During this period, except for killing a few unlucky animals that bumped into him in the mountains and forests on the road, he basically never stopped.

It can be said that we are climbing over mountains and ridges along the way. Although it seems that it is not far away, just a few hills away, but when we really take action, we understand what it means to run to death while looking up the mountain.

Fortunately, Ke Ling is a ghost now, so he basically doesn't feel tired. Otherwise, this journey would really take a while.

“As night falls, I feel much safer.”

Ke Ling sighed with emotion. As the sun set and the sky turned completely dark, the feeling of facing death every moment finally disappeared.

At this time, it is naturally the carnival time when the ghosts come out to hunt.

This time Ke Ling didn't run through the mountains and forests again. He returned to the normal road, hoping to meet a ghost with no eyes to save him the trouble of looking for it.

Along the way, Ke Ling entered the mountain again and walked along the winding mountain road. This mountain road was full of dangers. He kept sniffing with his nose. Even though he was wearing a mask, it didn't stop him from smelling the aroma that belongs to humans.

"There are people walking in the mountains and forests at night. Isn't this just delivering food to ghosts?"

Ke Ling complained. It seems that people in this era have indeed gradually forgotten the legends about ghosts.

This is normal. When things have not happened to them, who would believe the outrageous legends passed down by the old people?
  Maybe before Kamado Tanjiro encountered these things, he actually didn't believe in the legends of these ghosts at all, right?
  "Sniff."

While walking and thinking, Ke Ling suddenly smelled a special smell.

It was a smell full of blood, pungent, and of the same kind.

"You think, isn't this a coincidence? I, a ghost hunter, have been waiting for you for a long time."

Ke Ling smiled, his prosthetic eyes shining in the night. He followed a group of pedestrians all the way, waiting for this moment.

There are indeed ghosts hiding in the mountains and forests, and they are specifically watching these pedestrians.

These pedestrians didn’t know what they were doing. They were carrying their luggage and were on their way in the middle of the night.

Even putting aside the issue of ghosts, this steep mountain road is not suitable for walking at night. It is easy to get injured or even die.

Maybe it's because they are running for a living. People sometimes cannot help themselves. Maybe they don't take these risks, and the whole family will not be able to eat.

But unfortunately, ghosts don't understand this, and their instinct to eat urges them to act.

In their eyes, people are just food. No matter how many stories there are, they will not add flavor to the food itself.

"Goo."

In the thick night, the sound of swallowing saliva was so harsh.

The pedestrians who were walking in silence naturally noticed something strange, but they only thought it was the sound coming from their companions.

"Are you hungry? Hold on, there is an ancestral hall in front of you, let's take a rest later."

There were five people in this group, and one of them, who was slightly older, was the leader. He smiled and joked.

"Can't wait! I'm so hungry!"

However, the person who responded to him was not his companions, but an evil ghost that suddenly jumped out from the forest.

The evil ghost has disheveled hair and a ferocious expression, like a wild beast. The muscles on its body are very strong and have strange lines on them.

The evil ghost stretched out his hands and pounced on the leading pedestrian. He couldn't stop drooling and his chest was wet.

"Pfft!"

Ke Ling, who had been preparing for a long time, saw the right opportunity, rushed in front of the pedestrian with a knife, and cut off the evil spirit's head with a single blow. The brand new knife was sharp and felt good when holding it.

"Ghost hunter?! No?! Not a Nichirin sword?!"

The evil ghost screamed, and its head and body were separated. The expression on its face was very frightened at first, but then turned into confusion.

Its mouth was still talking, but its body had already quickly taken action. It took a few steps back with its head in its hand, then put its head on its neck again and twisted it left and right.
