I don't want to be an elf!

That's why Kamado Tanjiro didn't realize he was a ghost at first.

Although it is almost impossible for ghosts who don't need to eat human flesh to exist, but with the mentality of giving it a try, Wuhe Kotori still didn't let Kamado Tanjiro do it, but planned to talk to him first.

Unexpectedly, she didn't ask anything, but this guy directly asked them to kill him.

"A ghost who wants to die?" Wuhe Qinli looked at the man with interest, "You really want to die? Didn't you want to make us laugh?"

"Yes, I mean it."

The man raised his head, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth: "My life is full of shameful things, and there is nothing worth cherishing. Only death is my destination, and it can give me real peace."

"I didn't smell the lying question." Kamado Tanjiro said in a low voice, "He exudes a decadent and dead air, and it seems that he really thinks so. He probably wants to commit suicide by jumping into the river."

"interesting."

Itsuka Kotori nodded slightly, and motioned to Kamado Tanjiro to put away the Hirinkō.

Walking in front of the man, she crossed her arms and asked condescendingly, "What's your name?"

"Ah? Before killing ghosts, do you still need to ask for their names?"

"Do not talk nonsense."

Itsuka Kotori stamped her feet, showing an impatient expression.

Fearing that he would offend the other party and let the other party decide to save himself a way out, the man who wanted to die immediately answered this question.

"Dazai."

The man obediently said his name.

"My name is Osamu Dazai."

Chapter 26 Why is it you again?

The moment Wuhe Qinli heard the name, he was stunned.

Of course she knew who Osamu Dazai was.

In her original world, Osamu Dazai was the most famous Japanese writer, a rogue novelist, and one of the outstanding figures in the Taisho era when Japanese literature reached its peak.

Even in the first world she reached after crossing, she also met Osamu Dazai's other space body.

However, Osamu Dazai is obviously different in different worlds.

Compared with the frivolous guy who looked like a cowherd in Bungou Stray Dogs, the Dazai Osamu in front of him was obviously much more ordinary, with no similarity in appearance.

But the habit of liking suicide but not being able to die is exactly the same.

Osamu Dazai in Bungo Stray Dogs also committed suicide countless times, but each time he was lucky or unfortunately unsuccessful.

And in this world, Osamu Dazai, who has become a ghost, is even less likely to succeed in committing suicide.

"Okay, I believe you didn't lie to me." Wuhe Qinli rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "You decided to jump into the river today, is it really to commit suicide?"

"Cutting my wrists, lying on the rails, jumping off a building, taking medicine, and jumping into a river, I've tried them all." Osamu Dazai said with a wry smile, "But after becoming a ghost, no matter what I do, I can't commit suicide successfully."

"Then why don't you just walk into the sun?" Wuhe Qinli asked speechlessly, "Don't you know ghosts can't bask in the sun?"

"I still know this, I also tried to commit suicide by stepping into the sunlight." Osamu Dazai said shyly, "But as soon as I came into contact with the sunlight, the pain from the depths of my soul made me immediately give up this The method of suicide, because I am quite afraid of pain."

As he spoke, he looked expectantly at the saber on Kamado Tanjirou's waist.

Before he turned into a ghost, he thought about suicide many times.

But after becoming a ghost, all methods of suicide lose their effect.

Because ghosts are immortal.

Perhaps for a large number of people, this is a blessing from God.

But for Dazai Osamu, who already longs for death, immortality is a curse that he cannot escape.

It is precisely because of this that he hopes that Kamado Tanjiro, who is a demon slayer, can simply and neatly chop off his head with a Japanese sword.

"The Achilles' heel of ghosts is not only sunshine, but also wisteria flowers." Wuhe Kotori continued to ask, "Although powerful ghosts have strong resistance to wisteria flowers, you are obviously not one of them, so you never thought of using Suicide by taking wisteria flowers?"

"Wisteria?" Osamu Dazai blinked, "Are you sure?"

"This should be common sense to ghosts."

"Sorry, it's not long since I became a ghost." Dazai Osamu smiled slowly, "And I was forced to become a ghost. I don't know many things."

"Forced?"

Wuhe Qinli aroused a little interest, and continued to ask: "Yes, it is impossible for a guy like you to become a ghost voluntarily. Tell us about the opportunity for you to become a ghost."

Hearing Kotori's request, Osamu Dazai sighed deeply.

As if wanting some bad memories, his face was full of pain and entanglement.

After sorting out his thoughts, he spoke slowly about his experience.

"I'm a novelist. Osamu Dazai is actually not my real name, but my pseudonym. I'm not boasting. I'm quite famous in the literary world.

But my life is not happy, maybe it has something to do with my childhood, the more I grow up, the more I think, the more I write, the more I think life is meaningless, and only death is the most beautiful art, which can make me frustrated The soul finds a home.

So I chose suicide.

But unfortunately, my first suicide was not successful, but like today, I was rescued by kind people.

Then I was approached by a female reader who had learned that I had attempted suicide.

She said she loved my books and said many things that made me cherish my life.

I appreciate it, but I don't listen.

Then I tried to kill myself again, but still failed.

After being rescued again, that female reader found me again.

She was very angry, thinking that I had betrayed her and wanted me to pay the price.

She involuntarily stuffed a ball of black liquid into my mouth, causing my body to mutate.

After that, I became a ghost. "

After listening to his narration, whether it was Wuhe Kotori or Kamado Tanjiro, they all sympathized with this guy.

"After becoming a ghost, you should also feed on humans." Wuhe Qinli asked, "But why is there no smell of blood on your body?"

"Because after I became a ghost, I was imprisoned in the basement by the female reader and forced to write books all day long." Osamu Dazai said with a wry smile, "I can't even go out, let alone prey on humans. She brought all my food after processing it.”

It turned out to be taken care of.

Wuhe Qinli nodded clearly.

But soon, another question came to mind.

"Then why can you come out now?"

"Because that guy disappeared, probably killed by the Demon Slayer Squad." Osamu Dazai shrugged, "About half a month ago, I dug a hole myself and escaped from the basement."

"Did you kill anyone after escaping?"

"No, she still has some stored meat at home, and I have been living on it during this period." Osamu Dazai said helplessly, "If I save the meat reserves, I can probably eat it for a week. If I still eat it before that There is no way I can succeed in committing suicide, so I can only walk into the sunshine."

As he spoke, he sighed deeply again.

"My life has been miserable enough, and now I have even reduced myself to a monster that eats people to survive." Dazai Osamu closed his eyes in pain, "Although I am a coward who is afraid of pain, but if it really comes to the point where I have to kill myself to survive, At this point, it’s better to grit your teeth and endure the pain and commit suicide.”

"Commander." Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but said, "This gentleman was forced to become a ghost, and he has no life in his hands, and his nature is not bad. Let him join us."

"Well, in fact, I also think the same way." Wuhe Kotori nodded, "There are too few ghosts who can meet the conditions to join Ratatosk. It's rare to find one. Of course, you can't miss it."

"Hey, add... join?"

Osamu Dazai couldn't help sobbing just because he recalled his tragic experience during this period, his tears froze.

He put on a reluctant smile, and quickly waved his hand to refuse: "You don't need to join, and I don't want to eat people anymore, you just need to use the sun wheel knife to chop off my head."

"Don't worry, we have potions that allow you to survive without having to continue eating people."

"But I don't want to live anymore." Dazai Osamu said dumbfounded, "Can you do me a favor and do me this little favor?"

"We will help you with this, but first you have to do us a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"Join Ratatosk and assist us in our mission."

Wuhe Qinli helped him up, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile.

"After our mission is over, in exchange, I can give you a painless death."

Chapter 27 Demon Slayer’s Invitation [-]-in-[-]

By chance, Osamu Dazai became a member of Ratatosk.

However, not everyone is happy about this.

For example, Yushiro.

After knowing that Wuheqinli had recruited a new member, and that he and Zhushi were going to leave the burden to him, his handsome scholarly face turned black with anger.

But this is also something that can't be done.

Although she can use the self-healing flame to remove the curse in Dazai Osamu's body, allowing him to immediately get rid of Onimai Tsuji's control, but if she wants to improve his diet, it can only be done by Zhuse.

After Dazai was settled, Wuhe Kotori returned to the house of purgatory in the center of Tokyo.

Some time ago, in order to let the Demon Slayer Squad and the demons know about the existence of Ratatosk, she went out too frequently.

But now that Ratatosk's reputation has been established, she no longer needs to go out in person.

After handing over the task of killing ghosts to Kamado Tanjiro and Dazai Osamu, she returned to Purgatory.

Although in the mansion of the Purgatory family, the eldest brother Purgatory Kyojuro is not at home all year round, his father Purgatory Makijuro looks like he doesn't care about anything, and the youngest brother Purgatory Jurō doesn't care about anything, but if Wuhe Kotoli disappears one after another Ten days and a half months, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

So, for the next three weeks, Wuhe Qinli stayed in the mansion of the Purgatory family, acting as Bai Qinli for a while.

Until one day three weeks later, Zhu Shi's three-flowered cat, Chachawan, appeared in Wuheqinli's room and brought a letter.

There wasn't much information in the letter, just a short line.

【Ghost Killing Squad found us】

This line of handwriting is elegant and elegant, obviously written by Zhu Shi himself.

But compared with the previous handwriting, it is obvious that when she wrote this line, she was not in a calm mood.

"Found it? It's much faster than I expected."

Although the speed of the Demon Slayer Squad was unexpected, Wuhe Kotori was not panicked at all.

Because in the original book, Zhu Shi's mansion was also exposed under the full search of the ghost killing team.

It is precisely because the Ghost Killing Team found Zhu Shi that before the final decisive battle, Zhu Shi will appear as a reinforcement of the Ghost Killing Team.

In this world, the time for the Ghost Killing Squad to find her was obviously much earlier.

This is also of course.

After all, in this world, Zhushi and Yushiro joined Ratatosk, and Ratatosk had frequent contacts with the outside world, leaving not a few clues.

With the connections of the Ghost Killing Team, as long as they are willing to search with all their strength, they will definitely be able to find them.

And this is also part of the plan.

Lightly burning the letter to ashes, Wuhe Kotoli told his family members that he was going out, then summoned the Divine Might Spiritual Equipment, and hurried back to Zhushi's stronghold in Asakusa with Chachawan.

After driving at full speed, in less than an hour, she took Chacha Wan through the illusory wall and came to Zhu Shi's mansion in Asakusa.

"Commander, you are finally back!"

Seeing Kotori Wuhe's appearance, Tanjiro Kamado, who was full of anxiety, seemed to have found a backbone, and his expression eased up a bit.

"I thought the Ghost Killing Squad was coming directly."

Checking the surroundings, Wuhe Kotori took off his mask but found no sign of anyone.

"If the Demon Slayer Squad comes directly, there's no chance we can send you a message."

"It's also possible that the Ghost Killing Squad forced you to write it to attract me, isn't it?"
