After traveling through Demon Slayer, is it possible to survive?

I looked at the poisoned Xuantu lying on the bed and began to feel embarrassed. It was not that he could not be saved, but he had been poisoned by the ghost for too long. If I made an antidote on the spot, he would die before it was finished.

I reached out and gently placed my hand on the poisoned part of his body. I felt conflicted. I didn't have enough time, so I could only use the healing blood demon technique I used on Chanae, but...

My identity as a ghost will definitely be exposed in front of Giyu Tomioka. What will he think?

I turned to look at Yiyong who was anxious at the moment, and finally decided to use blood demon magic, after all, human life was at stake.

"Blood Demon Art·Red Sun·Healing!"

A red light appeared from my hand, and the breath of the ghost was released at this moment. The red light floated from my hand to the poisoned wound, and covered the body of Xuantu in a short while.

Tomioka Giyu was obviously stunned by this scene, and his hand unconsciously grasped the hilt of the Nichirin Sword, but he did not pull it out, and my voice also reached his ears at this moment.

"Don't worry, this is a healing blood vampire technique. His wound will heal after a while."

I withdrew my hand, and the red light still remained on Santu's body. His body was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. I asked Tamayo and Kotonoha to take care of Santu.

I pointed at the ceiling and told Yiyong, who was at a loss at the moment, to talk up there.

Giyu Tomioka followed the person he had wanted to see for the past three years, following closely behind him, and from time to time he would put his nose close to me to sniff me, and he realized that I was a ghost who had never eaten a human.

I picked up the hot tea and handed it to Yiyong. Looking at his stiff sitting posture and his eyes looking in an unknown direction, I raised my hand and gently tapped his forehead, smiling.

"Now that you know I'm a ghost, do you have any ideas?"

Hearing this, Yiyong's sparkling eyes stopped in front of me, and after a while he spoke.

"It's a ghost, but it's not an evil ghost that eats people. I... have no idea."

"You don't want to kill me?"

Hearing what I said, Yiyong suddenly panicked, put down his teacup, stood up, and waved his hands to deny it.

“No…no…”

Looking at the panicked Giyuu at this moment, I couldn't help but think of Fuzukawa Saneya and Fuzukawa. The questions they asked at that time were probably similar.

[“Same question, different answer…”]

"Really not?"

"Ah."

I looked at the man who had grown much taller than when I first met him, raised my hand to motion him to sit down, and spoke.

"If we count from the time when we first met, you should be 16-17 years old now, right?"

Yiyong also knew that his attitude at the moment seemed a little bad, so he lowered his head and sat down obediently.

"Yeah, 16, almost 17."

I picked up the hot tea, took a sip leisurely, then crossed my legs and started to get down to business.

"Is he your friend? What's his name?"

Although I know Xuantu's name, it would be better to ask first. If I say directly that I already know the name, it will make me seem like a pervert who is monitoring them.

"His name is Xuantu, he is my senior brother and one of the nine pillars, the 'Water Pillar'."

I was stunned by his words. At this moment, my brain seemed to be stuck and I recalled all the past events in an instant.

[“The Nine Pillars are here so soon? Although we know there is a Flower Pillar, shouldn’t there be a Muichiro as well?]

[“And the Insect Pillar couldn’t have appeared so quickly. Who was the extra one? And how could the Insect Pillar become a Pillar so quickly?”]

"........."

[“Fuck, I almost forgot that there are former and current pillars. The extra pillar should be the one who hasn’t retired yet.”]

Thinking of this, I was also full of curiosity. I wanted to know what kind of breathing method that pillar was. I looked at Giyuu in front of me and asked with an attitude of giving it a try.

"Can you tell me which pillars they are?"

Hearing this, Yiyong hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You can't do that. This is a secret of the Demon Slayer Corps, so I can't tell you..."

I already knew the answer. After all, who the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are is a secret no matter how you look at it. How could I tell it to irrelevant people casually?

What's more, I am a ghost, and the king of ghosts.

?????

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Do you have any other brothers besides this brother?"

Yiyong seemed to have thought of something at this moment. His sky-blue eyes suddenly drooped and his eyes were blurred, as if he had some kind of psychological struggle. After a while, he finally made up his mind and spoke slowly.

"There was another one. Her name was Makoto, but she's...dead."

Yiyong spoke the last two words in a very low voice, but I still heard them, and I was immediately confused. If Xuantu was alive, why did Zhengu die?

[“In the original novel, it seems that Zhengu is not from the same class as the other two. Has the plot been changed?”]

"What happened?"

"During the selection at Fujikiyama, Santo eliminated half of the demons, and the two of us encountered a very strong demon. Just when I was about to be killed by the demon..."

Yiyong suddenly stopped talking here, raised his head and looked at me. At this moment, I was listening to him carefully. He lowered his head and pursed his lips before speaking slowly.

"She stood in front of me and saved me. I survived and killed the ghost, but she died..."

At this moment, Yiyong's eyes were already filled with tears and he seemed to be in great pain. I reached out my hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and comforted him with a gentle voice.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked..."

Honestly, I don’t know what words to say to comfort someone. After saying the above two sentences, I was at a loss for words. After all, I have never comforted anyone before. Even when I was a doctor, I couldn’t even say a word or two, let alone comfort.

After a moment of silence, Yiyong suddenly stood up and shook his head, as if to shake off his sad emotions. But it turned out that this trick was quite useful. After a while, he returned to his original state.

I chose to end the topic. After all, I couldn't let him fall into a sad mood again. We started talking about the past, experiences, events we encountered, and various tasks.

After talking about all this, I began to understand that Giyuu was the stepson of Santo and a candidate for the Water Pillar. It was also at this moment that I learned that Giyuu had not changed from the original and was still not very popular, so I joked.

"Am I hated?" 乁( ˙ w˙乁)
