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

sunrise.

Ji Guoyuan gently touched the sleeping boy and tapped him a few times but there was no response. Seeing this, Ji Guoyuan sighed lightly and spread out his bent fingers.

She pressed four fingers on the boy's soft cheek, using a little force, gently moving it up and down, left and right, and spoke softly.

"Yunchuan, wake up, I want to go to the back mountain."

At this moment, I also felt someone poking me in my sleep. I reluctantly said goodbye to the beautiful dream, and opened my eyes with difficulty with tears in the corners of my eyes.

Looking at Tsugikoku Yuichirō beside me in the darkness, my brain hadn't reacted yet, and I said vaguely, "Um... what do you want to do? If you feel something this morning, I can't help you, use your hands to solve it yourself... Well, don't disturb my sleep."

After saying that, he smacked his lips, stretched, yawned, closed his eyes again, pulled the quilt hard, turned over to the side and continued to sleep.

"Feeling?" Solve it with your hands?" Jiguo Yuanyi murmured to himself in confusion and fell into deep thought.

But when he saw the boy turned around, he stopped thinking, put his hand on the boy's quilt-wrapped shoulders, pushed a few times, and said.

"I'm going to the back mountain to look for the items the village chief mentioned. If you can't feel at ease without me, just shrink and sleep in the box." Ji Guoyuan's tone was soft and gentle, as if he was comforting me.

Hearing this, I twisted my body a few times. At this moment, I felt like my mother called me to go to school, but I just wanted to sleep and didn't want to go.

I buried my head in the quilt and said in a slightly impatient tone, "You are so annoying, I don't want to go, I want to sleep. It's been a long time since I last drank blood. Do you think you can avoid drinking blood just because you are a ghost king? Now I can only rely on sleeping to replenish my energy."

Ji Guoyuan withdrew his hand, held his chin and was silent for a moment. He suddenly stretched out his left hand in front of himself, and his right hand quickly crossed his left hand. Hot blood slowly flowed out from his wrist. He looked at his blood calmly.

[“The smell of blood?”!] I suddenly opened my eyes in the bed and immediately sat up and looked at the blood on Jiguoyuan’s wrist.

[sp: "To save numbers, let's remove this little plot."]

[sp: "Actually I'm just too lazy to write. I guess you guys don't like to read that kind of stuff either."]

Yoshiichi Tsugakuni came outside with a box on his back and found Tanjiro doing morning exercises outside. He was silent for a while, made up his mind, and slowly approached Tanjiro.

"Tanjiro." Yoshiichi Tsugakuni called out.

"Hmm?" Hearing the voice, Tanjiro turned his head and found that his master, Yoshitsugu Tsugaru, was standing behind him.

[“It’s like this again. I can’t smell Master Yunyi’s scent. It’s sometimes there and sometimes not. It’s so strange…”] Tanjiro thought to himself at this moment, but still forgot to greet him: “Good morning, Master Yunyi. What’s wrong?”

"Well, there is one thing..." Ji Guoyuan began to explain.

Originally, Yoshiichi Tsugumi didn't want to tell Tanjiro, but he always felt that this matter was not a trivial matter.

Moreover, during dinner, Mitsuri Kanroji mentioned something about the back mountain during casual conversation, and seemed to be saying that there was a secret weapon there that could make people stronger.

Jiguo Yuanyi recalled indifferently that time, Santu was not interested in that thing. This was understandable. After all, his strength... was even stronger than the Water Pillar of his generation.

And without the stripes...

The other child named Xuan Mi was even more strange. He did not say anything about the secret weapon that Mitsuri Kanroji mentioned, but his eyes showed that he was not interested.

And...his body is abnormally strong. He can't control his breathing, but has such a weird body. Is it the result of acquired training?

Not very practical...

Also, because only Tanjiro was interested and wanted to go to the back mountain to look for the secret weapon, and he happened to be going to the back mountain.

Traveling together is also a good choice.

Both of them carried a box and wandered together deep in the forest. They had nothing to say along the way. One wanted to find some topic to ease the awkwardness, while the other was wondering what the village chief was talking about.

The two walked for a long time, and when they arrived at a certain place, they saw more birds on the trees, as if they had made their home there, or as if something was attracting them?

"There is a human smell." Tanjiro sniffed carefully and said after confirming that there were indeed people living there.

Ji Guoyuan looked around and found that the surrounding trees and grass seemed to have been trimmed, and there were bluestone bricks under his feet.

He guessed that it must be a long time ago. It might be someone who lived in seclusion in the Sword Forging Village, or maybe someone from the Sword Forging Village lived in seclusion here, and their descendants did the same.

The two continued walking forward for a while, and found an open space in the distance, and heard the sound of hammers and chisels nailing and carving on wood.

Because he heard the sound, Tanjiro thought he had arrived, so he ran forward excitedly, found an open space, and smelled the scent of human beings just ahead.

Tanjiro looked carefully and saw a man wearing a mask who looked to be a child. He was holding a carving knife in one hand and a wooden board in the other. He seemed to be doing something.

Smelling the kid's seriousness, Tanjiro couldn't stop himself from wanting to beat Michio up, but he didn't want to disturb him.

Looking around, Tanjiro then discovered that there was a long box right in front of the child, and it was open.

Inside, there is a person...

"No, it's not a human, it's... a puppet?!" Looking at the puppet, his left face was broken, but... Tanjiro was very familiar with his appearance!

"That, that's Master Yunichirō!!" Tanjiro was so shocked that he even walked out unconsciously, which scared the child.

The child turned around and put down what he was holding. Although his face was covered by a mask, one could tell from his tone that he was extremely angry.

"Who are you! What are you doing here?!" The child unconsciously came to the doll and covered it with his hands, as if he didn't want the newcomer to get close to the doll.

Tanjiro realized that he had scared someone and reacted immediately. Feeling the child's anger, he quickly bowed and apologized.

"I'm so sorry! I scared you." Tanjiro bowed several times, his tone flustered but sincere.

The child looked at Tanjiro and didn't seem to think he was a bad guy, so his vigilance eased a little, but he still lay in front of the puppet.

Tanjiro felt a little embarrassed looking at the child. He scratched his head and glanced to the side. At this moment, he discovered that the plate that originally closed the long box was lying on the ground.

His eyes widened as he looked at the two lines of words engraved on it. His heart began beating violently unconsciously and he stared at the two lines of words in disbelief.
