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

After saying that, I turned around and looked forward again. The kindness in my eyes gradually faded, replaced by a calm and unpredictable look.

[“Should we call Kokushibo over now? This time is different from the past. We need to bring him back to the Demon Slayer Corps after this plot!”]

I'm a little annoyed now. Tsugukuni Yoshiichi's original goal was to bring his brother back to the Demon Slayer Corps, in addition to killing me (Kibutsuji Muzan). Now that he's here, isn't this a buy 1 get 1 free deal?

[“Besides, even if we summon all the ghosts, they probably wouldn’t be enough to defeat him.”]

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at Yuichiro Tsugikoku again.

Feeling the gaze, Yuichi Tsugikoku stopped scanning the surroundings, leaned forward to make himself the same height as me, and spoke lightly.

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Hearing his voice and seeing his face, I don't know why, I felt more and more uncomfortable, and after a moment I spoke.

"When you kneel down, you have to hold up a 10-pound stone."

Tsugikoku Yoichi: "......"

.........

At this time, Giyu took out the medicine and bandages he was carrying and came to Tanjiro and Inosuke, squatting down to clean the more serious wounds.

He then came to Zenitsu and looked at his body with shock.

"Strange, that speed didn't cause any damage to the body! It's like something is protecting it."

Although the Lightning Breathing imitated thunder, the damage and speed it caused could not be compared with real lightning. Although Zenitsu's Thunderbolt Flash just now could not be compared with it, the speed was enough to cause serious damage to the legs.

Giyuu put away the medicine bandage, Zenitsu's condition didn't need it at all. By the way, Nezuko had returned to the wooden box without knowing when. Giyuu knew from her appearance that Nezuko was a ghost, and he didn't smell any evil in the air.

Suddenly, Yiyong's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at the path where Zenitsu flashed. He heard subtle footsteps in the distance, two people.

Giyuu placed his hand on the Sun Blade again, got into position, and was about to start practicing breathing techniques.

Suddenly, the two footsteps suddenly quickened, and in an instant, two figures appeared under the moonlight.

"Brother, brother!"

Giyuu said this with a trembling voice, looking at me, then quickly stepped forward and hugged me, putting his hands on my shoulders, without noticing Tsugaru Yoriichi behind me at all.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi: “!!”

I stroked Yiyong's head with my palm. I didn't feel disgusted by his behavior. Instead, I teased him with a smile on my face and in a soft voice.

"Hey, isn't this my little Yiyong who is not hated~"

As Ji Guoyuan heard the gentle tone, his eyes unconsciously stared at Yiyong. His originally idle hands were unconsciously clenched into fists, and there were clear blood vessels bulging on his hands.

After some understanding, the gentleness in my eyes disappeared, and I walked in front of Tanjiro and Inosuke with a serious expression.

[“One by one, they knew they couldn’t win but still went ahead anyway.”]

"Blood Demon Art: Healing." A red light emanated from my palms, enveloping Tanjiro and Inosuke. In less than a moment, their wounds had healed, but they still felt tired, and in less than a moment, sleepiness overwhelmed their eyelids.

"If you don't take care of your body from now on, you will really die."

After saying that, I stood up and put away the red light without waiting for their answer.

I glanced sideways at the place in the distance...that was where the tiredness disappeared.

As I approached, I placed the finger with red light over my left eye. After I opened my left eye, I did not find Lei's soul around, which showed that Lei had gone to hell to atone for his sins.

"This...is probably your best outcome."

Just as I was still sighing, I suddenly had a bad premonition. I closed my eyes, listened carefully for a while, then opened them with a playful expression on my face.

"It's coming really fast." I stretched my limbs on the spot, suddenly took a step back, looked back, looked around with a distracted gaze, and said.

"Right, Miss Shinobu Kocho."

The moment I finished speaking, a figure dressed like a human-shaped butterfly suddenly appeared in the sky. The figure rushed forward as fast as an arrow, but unfortunately it was missed by my previous step back.

puff!

Shinobu Kocho's Nichirin sword was stabbed into the tree, and I looked from her to the tree. I thought the tree would rot, but surprisingly it did not. It seemed that there was no poison on the sword.

When Shinobu Kocho saw me dodge her attack, she was inevitably a little surprised, but she calmed down and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

"Long time no see, Mr. Mo Yunchuan. Or, Mr. Fan Gong Qian Cheng!"

After hearing the last word of his words, my face instantly darkened, the playful expression disappeared, and I looked at Shinobu Kocho for a moment, then turned to look at Yoriichi Tsugikoku.

"Alpaca, you're a thief who leaked the information! (Mandarin Chinese)"

Hearing the foreign language, Tsugumi Yuichiro was stunned at first, as if he wanted to analyze the meaning of those ten sentences, but he still couldn't figure it out.

However, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi still understood something from the boy's eyes, the look that seemed like he wanted to beat someone up.

"..."

I sighed and thought to myself, forget it, after all, someone will know this name sooner or later. Fortunately, judging from the tone of Shinobu Kocho and Giyuu, Tsugikoku Yoriichi did not reveal my identity as the Demon King.

But I can't blame him entirely. Although I do hate tipping off people, even if he didn't pass the message to the Demon Slayer Corps, his crows and Tanjiro's crows would have reported it.

Even so, I still glared at Tsugikoku Yoriichi with a resentful look. Then I turned around and smiled at Shinobu Kocho who was still struggling to pull out the Nichirin Sword.

I don’t know what she was thinking. Since the tip of the knife wasn’t poisoned, the main reason was that she didn’t want to kill me.

If you didn't want to kill me, why did you use so much force? You knew I didn't have good wrist strength, but you still stabbed me so deep.

I used my absolute height to suppress her and bent down to look at Shinobu Kocho as if she were a child. I reached out my hand and patted her head as if to comfort a child, then spoke.

"Oh~ Miss Shinobu, you are 151cm tall, but you have so little strength?"

My words full of teasing and sarcasm instantly reached Shinobu Kocho's ears. She froze all over and then let her hand go away from the hilt of the sword.

Shinobu Kocho reached her hand into her haori, as if she was groping for something, and it made a sound like that of an iron object. When she took her hand out, there was something very familiar in her hand.

[Author: "I don't want to describe it, because I don't know either"]

Looking at the musket that Shinobu Kocho took out, Giyu's eyes flickered slightly, but there was no nervousness on his face. Instead, he looked at Shinobu Kocho with an expression as if he was watching a show.

Shinobu Kocho pulled out a musket and pointed it at me, gripping the gun handle tightly with both hands, and shouted angrily.

"Don't insult people!"

boom!

After a gunshot, Shinobu Kocho was knocked down by the recoil of the gun because she was too weak. Her head was hit by the uncontrolled gun, and a small bump swollen appeared. She felt dizzy. She was like being pounced on by someone. This scene was absolutely shocking.

[Author: “That scene is what I have always wanted to see.]

Shinobu Kocho slowly squatted up and touched her red head. This was her first time using a gun, and she didn't expect the recoil to be so strong.

Thinking of this, she was also curious about the effect of this shot. At least it could cause some damage, at least it should leave some blood.

But the result was the opposite of what I expected. Not only was nothing done to me, but I even felt that the speed of the bullet was a bit slow. There was not much gunpowder at the bottom of the bullet, and the propulsion force generated was not enough. Although I could hold the butterfly tightly, I couldn't hold it steadily.

[“Ancient pistols are really useless.”]

When she saw clearly, she found that there was a bullet between the fingers of my right hand, and the bullet looked like it had been squeezed into a piece.

She had asked for this gun from Xuanya, the Immortal River. Xuanya had already shown her the power of the gun, so Shinobu Kocho was very surprised.

"No...I don't think so." Shinobu Kocho was helped up by Giyuu who had just come to her side. He looked at the bullet in my hand, still a little bit unconvinced.

I released the bullet in my hand, reached out and easily pulled out the Nichirin Sword that Shinobu Kocho had inserted into the tree, handed the sword to her with my left hand, and stretched out my right hand to touch her forehead with my finger. A red light covered her forehead, and the redness and swelling slowly disappeared.

"Ms. Kocho Shinobu, poison is more suitable for you."

Just at this moment, Jiguo Yuanyi slowly came to my side, and then I heard a large number of extremely light footsteps and the sounds of crows coming from a distance.

[“It seems that the “Hidden” has arrived... Should I run?”]

Suddenly, two ravens came through the woods, circled over me, and descended in a slow circle, shouting.

"Gah! Lord, send a message! Gah! Headquarters send a message! Quickly invite Lord Bramiya and Tanjiro Kamado and his sister to the headquarters! And the team members who can attend the meeting!"

“After we have cleaned up the scene, we must set off immediately! Gah! We must reach the headquarters before the sun rises! Gah! We must not stop!!”

The moment the crow sounds stopped, a large number of members of the "hidden" force began to appear in sight.

At this point I had made up my mind. Although they didn't know my identity and Tsugikoku Yuichirō didn't reveal it, and I had never eaten anyone before, I couldn't guarantee that nothing would go wrong.

Nezuko really has never drunk any blood, and she only needs to sleep to replenish her energy, which is enough to ensure her survival. So Nezuko can be said to be just going through the motions.

But I am different. The risk is very high. Although I don't eat people, I drink blood. If I go there, I will rely on fate 70% and myself 30%.

"Chiyang..."

I was interrupted before I could finish my words. I don't know when Tsugikoku Yoshiichi came in front of me, grabbed my hand, and said softly with a pleading look in his eyes.

"...I will protect you, don't worry."

The moment Ji Guoyuan finished speaking, Yiyong also came in front of me, his eyes full of determination, as if he had made up his mind. A smile appeared on his face and he said softly.

"Brother, don't worry, I will protect you too."

"..."

[“You two really want me to die! No, what did they say? Protect me? Are you kidding? Forget about Giyuu, he doesn’t know my true identity. But you, Tsugumi Yuichi…”]

"What if I don't want to go?" I definitely don't want to go. For the first few days, it's okay, after all, the danger is not that great, but this time is different, we are going to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters!

Before they could answer, Shinobu Kocho, who was standing nearby, took out a small piece of paper from her haori and spoke.

"Just now, my sister's crow brought me a letter. The front content said that the lord just wanted to confirm a certain issue and had no intention of imprisoning you. Whether you have really killed or eaten people, the lord will ensure that your life will not be in danger." After saying that, she stretched out her hand and handed me the note, motioning me to read it.

I took the paper and read it word for word. I pondered for a while. I knew that if I refused now, it would be really embarrassing. Besides, what would happen if I went? Anyway, if you can answer, I will answer. If you don't answer, I won't answer. It's impossible to read the memory.

I pursed my lips, still a little hesitant, but finally under their gaze, I gave in.

"In that case, let's go."

Hearing this, the three people finally relaxed.

But at this moment I started to think again, that is to say, there is a nine out of ten chance of survival, but it is only nine out of ten, not ten, and there is still the one out of two, so we still have to make some guarantees.

After all, it's better to be safe than sorry.

"When we get to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, no matter what I do, you must not interfere unless it threatens someone's life!" I pointed at Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

"Okay." Yuichiro Tsugikoshi agreed without thinking too much.

After hearing his promise, I finally put my heart at ease. After all, as long as Ji Guoyuan didn't take action, there was a 90% chance that I could escape!

And even if all nine pillars with spotted patterns are attacked together, I am not afraid!

At this moment, Ji Guoyuan took out a box and opened it in front of me. He pressed the top of the box with his left hand, made a forward gesture with his right hand, and said softly.

"please."

Seeing this, I was stunned. I looked at him in shock. For some reason, I always felt that he was a little different today.

[“Has this guy had a fever these days? I remember that he used to threaten me every time he asked me to enter the box, but why did he ask me this time?”]

But now is not the time to think about these things. I can feel the sun is about to rise, and every inch of my body is beginning to feel a burning sensation.

I shrunk my body to the size of a 3-4 year old child and walked into the wooden box obediently. This time I only changed my body, and changing my clothes would take some energy, so I might as well save some energy for sleep.

After all, the next time I wake up, I will meet the Demon Slayer Corps lord, Ubuyashiki Yoya.

Seeing this scene, Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka were stunned. It was the first time they saw the boy change his appearance, and that appearance had been deeply engraved in their minds.

Shinobu Kocho: "So cute!?～"

Tomioka Giyu: "It's very cute!?～"

Jiguo Yuanyi gently closed the door of the wooden box, and at this moment the sunlight shone on him. His originally cold and arrogant eyes suddenly flashed, and his eyes became extremely rare gentle, with a smile at the corners of his mouth.

"I will protect you~"

Inside the box.

[“Why…why are you saying such disgusting things!?”] At this time, I was covering my face frantically in the box, and my whole body was shaking slightly. My face and ears were completely red.

The voice of Tsugikoku Yuichiro just now was very low, you could say he was muttering to himself, but as the Ghost King, I could hear even the smallest sound.

[“That, that must be an illusion. Yes, it must be an illusion.”] I patted my face to make myself return to normal. After a long sigh, I closed my eyes and let myself fall into a deep sleep.

.........

Let me tell you something here. If you read it from the beginning, you should be able to find that the writing style is different. I just found out that it is a little different, so I feel very uncomfortable writing it now. Maybe I have written too much emotional drama. I am a little confused now. So, the writing style of the next chapter will be changed.

Get out of here with all the warnings for breaking the rules! I can’t write a passionate comic about a long-lasting love story (even though it’s between two men)! If I’m going to write one, I’ll make it a cool story! It has to be passionate!! I’ll also have to change the character of the protagonist!

To be continued......
