Start a core cabin

The third string did not hit the ground, because his body was completely destroyed by the rising sun before it hit the ground.

"Huh...comfortable."

Duanmuhuai raised his hands and stretched.

Sure enough, you still need to move your muscles from time to time to relieve stress.

Since his reincarnation, Duanmu Huai has not killed anyone in the past fifteen years, and he has accumulated a lot of pressure. After fighting with this guy who couldn't be beaten to death, I just felt refreshed.

Hmm... It seems that it is good to come here occasionally to relieve stress.

Duanmuhuai looked at the rising sun in front of him, yawned, then reached out and picked up the knife that was thrown aside. He could feel that the knife was absorbing the remaining ghost energy from the third string just now. At the same time, he could somewhat feel the "door".

This knife is like a key. As long as it absorbs enough ghost energy, it can open the "door" and travel through time and space.

Originally, Duanmuhuai could return to modern times as long as he chopped down such a good prey as Shangxian No. 3, but Duanmuhuai had a hand-to-hand fight with it, and the result was this key - well, he didn't absorb it at all. Enough energy.

It's really troublesome, it seems like I have to kill a few ghosts.

"She's not a ghost..."

Seeing Duanmu Huai stretching comfortably under the sunshine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If the girl in front of them was a ghost, then she would not stand here and bask in the sun leisurely.

"...Little Miss Ai."

Butterfly Kanae came over again and stared at Duanmuhuai.

"I invite you again to join the Demon Slayer Squad and fight with us."

"………………"

Duanmu Huai held the sword and turned his head to look at Butterfly Kanae.

"What is the purpose of your Demon Slayer Squad?"

"Destroy evil spirits and protect the people."

"So, let me ask you a question."

Hearing Butterfly Kanae's answer, Duanmu Huai showed a sinister smile.

"Suppose you have to fight an evil spirit that is almost as strong as that guy, and there are innocent villagers behind you who need to be protected. What would you do? If you are distracted from protecting him, then you will not be able to kill that evil spirit. Evil ghost. And if you give up protecting that villager, he will be caught and eaten by the evil ghost. So...what will you do in this situation?"

Hearing this, Tanjiro immediately clenched his fists.

"I will try my best to block that evil spirit and let the villagers escape!"

The other pig-headed man also raised his two swords high at this moment.

"I will defeat that evil spirit. As long as the pig advances suddenly, the evil spirit will not be able to attack other people!"

The others did not speak, but it seemed that they all agreed with these two opinions, while Duanmuhuai shrugged.

"This is indeed the correct answer. The correct answer cannot be more correct, but there is a third option."

"………………?"

"That is to kill the villager before the evil spirit does."

"…………Why, why?"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's unexpected answer, everyone was stunned, and Tanjiro couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple. Evil ghosts don't eat corpses, they only eat living people. Moreover, after eating people, the strength of evil ghosts will increase. In this case, as long as all the food around is eliminated, the evil ghosts can be prevented from coming through them. Gaining strength, isn’t it?”

"But it's wrong to kill those innocent people for this..."

"Of course it's wrong, from a moral perspective, but my goal is not to protect the villagers, but to destroy the evil ghost. If the evil ghost eats that villager, then it will become stronger, and then it will not only It will kill you and more people. Compared with those who will be killed by evil spirits in the future, sacrificing a few villagers is a very reasonable approach. "

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

"Miss Kanae, I think you should understand that your Demon Slayer Squad and I are not the same person. You are here to protect, and I am here to destroy... It is my duty and mission to destroy monsters that threaten mankind."

"but………"

"But we can work together."

Duanmu Huai thought for a while and realized that there was still some time before the summer vacation ended. Moreover, judging from his previous experience, time flowed in the past and modern times at different speeds. As long as the speed was fast enough, he should be able to return to the modern world before the summer vacation. . Moreover, the Demon Slayer Squad specializes in hunting ghosts, so finding the location of ghosts couldn't be easier.

"……………I see."

Butterfly Kanae was silent for a moment and nodded.

"But please come back with me, and I will report it to your lord."

"I hope you won't keep me waiting too long."

Being idle is also idle, just think of it as relaxing in ancient times.

Kanae was very fast. Not long after that, she took Duanmu Huai to a mansion in the mountains, and there, Duanmu Huai saw several strange guys with different appearances. Most of them were young, the oldest looked less than thirty years old, and they were basically all young people in their teens or 20s.

Duanmuhuai looked at them curiously, and those people also looked at Duanmuhuai doubtfully.

"Is this the girl who killed the third one with her bare hands?"

A boy with white hair and scars on his face sneered.

"It doesn't look like it."

"Ah, but she looks so cute. She's petite and cute. It's great."

Another girl with long pink hair tied into three braids looked at Duanmu Huai with glowing eyes and an extremely eager expression.

Duanmuhuai looked at these people speechlessly, and then turned to look at Kanae beside him.

"Miss Kanae."

"Um?"

"Are they skittles?"

"That's right."

"Didn't you tell me that Nine Pillars are the nine strongest people in the Demon Slayer Squad?"

"Yes, Hashira is the highest-ranking swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps and also the strongest swordsman."

".........just them?"

Duanmuhuai glanced at those people, and it was obvious in his eyes.

"I thought Miss Kanae was relatively weak, but I didn't expect the so-called Nine Pillars to be of this level? It's no wonder you haven't been able to eliminate evil spirits for so many years."

"What did you say!?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the expressions of everyone on the opposite side changed, while Duanmu Huai looked at them calmly. Duanmu Huai had seen before when he was fighting against the Three Stringers that Butterfly Kanae was no match for the Three Stringers. Let alone her, even if all the Demon Slayers present were there, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat the Three Stringers. Three free meals.

Later, Duanmuhuai learned that Butterfly Kanae was mainly responsible for medical logistics in the Demon Slayer Corps, and thought it was understandable. After all, she was in logistics, and her combat effectiveness was not too strong.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

When I got here, I saw that, good guys, the strength of these nine pillars is not much different. The blind monk seems to be somewhat stronger than the others, but his strength is limited.

It's okay for these people to deal with the kind of ghosts they encountered in the forest at the beginning, but facing an opponent like Shang Xian No. 3, this group of people will basically lose in a one-on-one duel.

You might win in a group fight, but only maybe.

There are too many differences between the two sides.

Duanmu Huai also heard the introduction from Butterfly Kanae, saying that there are twelve ghost moons on the evil ghost side, which are the so-called twelve generals. There are six people on the upper string and six people on the lower string.

As a result, there are only nine bosses in your Demon Slayer team, and even if they are held to death, they are still at the lowest level?

You're lucky if you're not killed by an evil spirit.

"What did you say? You brat!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the little brother with scars on his face and a very bad temper also walked over angrily, stretched out his hand and wanted to grab Duanmu Huai - but the next moment, he suddenly With a flash of his body, he quickly distanced himself from Duanmu Huai. At the same time, he lowered his waist, grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and stared at Duanmu Huai.

"Huh... only your intuition is still pretty sharp."

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

"If you dared to take a step forward just now, I would smash your head into pieces."

"you……………"

"If you're not afraid of death, come and give it a try. I promise to let you know how to write the word "death" - how about smearing it on the ground with your brains?"

Duanmu Huai hooked his fingers at the white-haired brother, who suddenly became furious.

"You're looking for————!"

"Quiet, your lord is here."

Just at the critical moment of the tense scene, a voice suddenly sounded. Upon hearing this voice, everyone else who was standing around quickly fell to their knees, even the white-haired guy who was trying to fight Duanmu Huai just now. Same. Only Duanmuhuai still stood there, staring at the main hall in front of him with his arms folded.

Soon, I saw a young man wearing a kimono and a kimono walking out from behind the paper door with a smile. Beside him were two doll-like girls.

With the support of the two girls, the man walked in front of everyone and said hello to them.

"Good morning everyone, and this traveler from afar."

The man's voice was very soft and gentle, and Duanmu Huai nodded in return.

"Hello."

"I've heard everything you've done from Kanoe."

The man stared at Duanmu Huai with his dull eyes.

"With overwhelming strength, you can subdue and destroy the third of the upper strings, plus one of the evil ghosts hidden on the Mugen Train that you destroyed before, as well as the group of evil ghosts that haunted the Asaun Shrine. , three people have died at your hands during the twelve ghost months."

"………………"

Hearing the man's words, the expressions of the other Nine Pillars changed one after another, and their eyes looking at Duanmu Huai were also full of shock. If they only killed the evil ghosts of Xixian, they would not be able to do it, but Duanmuhuai killed three in a short period of time, including one of them. More importantly, from the current point of view, he was not injured at all. !

What kind of power is this?

They simply can't imagine it.

"It's just fate."

Duanmuhuai didn't care about this.

"My goal is to protect mankind. Since these evil spirits threaten the survival of mankind, I will naturally eliminate them."

"But you won't join the Demon Slayer Corps, right?"

"Of course not."

After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, do you have to kneel down when you see this man? Duanmuhuai will not do it.

"I came here just hoping to establish a cooperative relationship with the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"It's simple."

Facing the man's question, Duanmuhuai chuckled.

"Just treat it as hiring. If you encounter a difficult ghost, you can hire me to eliminate it. Just pay me. How about that? I think this is a very good deal for you."

"…………………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the man pondered for a moment.

"In that case, I just have a job, and I hope you can help."

Then he spoke.
