Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Sensing danger, the ghost hunter turned around and faced the evil ghost that haunted the night.

Humans do react slower than ghosts. Akaza and he observed them in the tree for a long time, but it was not until Akaza appeared behind them that someone finally realized the danger in the darkness.

Lin Guang heard the surprise in the voice coming from Ye Feng about meeting an upper-rank monk.

"Hmm. As expected, if there are words in the eyes, they look much scarier than simply having pupils that look different from humans."

Ghost hunters have different attitudes when facing ghosts with words in their eyes and ordinary ghosts, because lower-rank ghosts are stronger than ordinary ghosts, and upper-rank ghosts are stronger than lower-rank ghosts.

Lin Guang did not understand the fear of humans. He simply thought that humans were disgusted by the unreasonable situation of words appearing in their eyes.

Just like it is difficult for humans to accept ghosts that have characteristics different from humans but actually originate from humans.

Watching the Akaza battle is a pleasure, a little more interesting than just looking at the scenery.

In fact, before Akaza, Rinkou had also encountered demon hunters, but Kokushibo's killing speed was too fast. Most of the time, he didn't even hear a few words of emotion before his head and body were already one apart. He had never been able to hear Akaza chatting with the demon hunters like he was doing now.

So Akaza is indeed a cat. Its eyes are golden, it's skilled in using its claws, it enjoys teasing its prey, and it may not eat it even after killing it.

The battle between the strong is not open to people of the same level. When Akaza fights, Rinko's biggest role is to hide and watch, rather than to hinder him.

In the same situation as him were the other three ghost hunters who followed him. Even though they wanted to join in and offer help, they were unable to do so.

The air-style blow knocked away the Sun Blade of the demon hunter who was about to join in. The long sword flew out of the battlefield and pierced the tree trunk squarely.

-

This is how the world is. The more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen, so it's not surprising.

The ghost swordsman came to retrieve his blade, as if it were fate. The moon was tilted, the wind blew past, the leaves rustled, and he was shrouded in shadow. The man looked up completely subconsciously. The moonlight shining through the branches was obscured by the child's figure, and the gray-blue eyes that stared at him were a pair of ghostly eyes.

Coincidences one after another lead to an ending that is not necessarily a happy one.

"There's another ghost here! Come and take care of this one first!"

There were no words in his eyes, he was hiding aside, and he looked like just a child, with almost no sense of oppression as a ghost.

Even though he was confused as to why there was a ghost of this age and why it was hiding here, for now, this ghost was obviously a more suitable hunting target than the one on the field, and the man was delighted with his discovery.

The ghost that became the prey blinked, as if still confused about why it was found.

The ghost swordsman raised his long sword, gathered strength, and then stabbed the younger ghost from bottom to top, trying to knock down the little ghost hiding among the branches. The child noticed his intention, flexibly leaned back and hung upside down on the tree, his eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find the next suitable foothold.

"Evil ghost! Don't even think about running away!"

There was someone staring below, and a shadow flew out from the branches next to it. After a brief surprise, the ghost looked around and without hesitation loosened his legs and fell from the tree. The moment he landed, he dived into the bushes in the blink of an eye.

In the next breath, the little ghost disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared. Just as they were about to chase after it, they heard a cold male voice from behind.

"If you want to fight, you have to find someone of equal strength. Bullying children is not a glorious thing."

The moment the last syllable fell, he could feel his body slipping out of control, and he flew sideways. The ghost hunter turned his head with difficulty to look at the battlefield before. The leader had fallen to the ground, and all he saw was blood.

They were clearly evenly matched just now, how come it suddenly became like this?

He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't think anymore. The last scene he saw was his teammate's head flying out of his sight.

"It's really frustrating... It's so rare to meet someone who can fight for a few moves. And yet they brought these scumbags with them."

Akaza's anger radiated from the inside out, veins popped out on his neck and forehead, and even his tone was gritting his teeth. He knew that Rinkou would hide well, so he went to fight the ghost hunter for the first time in a long time, to prove to Rinkou that he was never afraid of fighting.

He just casually chased away the annoying fly, but he didn't expect that the fly would bump into the place where Lingguang was hiding.

In the corner of my sight, I saw the three ghost hunters surrounding the tree, staring at it like jackals that had found their prey. Faced with such a weak child, three grown men surrounded and chased him?

However, the little guy's reaction was not bad. He did not give up his head just because he was surrounded by three people.

"Don't be angry, at least you know that although I'm not as powerful as you, I won't be beheaded so easily, right?"

The sound came from above his head. Akaza looked up and saw Rinkou squatting on a branch like a kitten, his eyes shining in the shadows.

It was incredible. He couldn't lock onto Rinko before she spoke. Until now, when their eyes met, Akaza stretched out his hand, and Rinko happily fell from the tree and landed right in his arms.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. But I don't think you'd believe a word I said."

Rinkou seized the opportunity to quickly apologize and explain before Akaza could say anything, but the next second after his feet touched the ground, he was hit on the head with such force that his waist was bent.

"Lord Akaza takes great pleasure in fighting, and I don't want to be a burden to him."

With a sincere tone, Lin Guang raised his head again despite the palm that was pressing his head down.

"It won't happen again."

Akaza sighed unhappily and finally raised his hand, but because of the kid's trick, he still grabbed Rinko's head and made it into a bird's nest.

----

A brave attempt gave Rinko a new entertainment activity, which made both Rinko and Akaza happy.

But Rinkou's happiness didn't last long, because for some reason, Akaza's ideas also fell on him.

"Do you want to fight?"

"Don't fight. There's no point in fighting."

Two ghosts, one big and one small, squatted on the eaves, watching the ghost swordsman patrolling in the distance and chatting leisurely.

Akaza is not interested in the weak, women, or children. Such standards undoubtedly filter out a large number of reserve contestants.

"But it should be suitable for you to practice with."

These words dimmed the light in Lin Guang's eyes.

"I have no interest in fighting, Lord Akaza, please don't make things difficult for me."

He tried to get a chance for himself.

"Try it."

However, the negotiation process with Akaza usually cannot affect the final outcome. Rinkou was picked up by the collar, thrown and dropped to the ground accurately.

This isn't the first time, and it certainly won't be the last.

Rinkou doesn't like fighting, but he has excellent reaction ability and prediction talent. All of this comes from the whole year of sparring with Kokushibo. It was developed under pressure, but Akaza doesn't care. He thinks that it is a waste for Rinkou to have this ability but not practice it.

That's why this scene happened, just like a lioness pushing her cub off a cliff. Akaza would throw Rinko in front of the not-so-strong Ghost Swordsman to train his abilities.

The two Demon Slayer Corps members were surprised at Rinkou's sudden appearance in front of them. They raised their blades warily, approached him carefully, and asked about his identity.

However, when Lin Guang turned around and looked at them with those eyes that belonged to a ghost, the questioning stopped. The stalemate and the fight started only in the moment of recognition.

There was nowhere to hide in the narrow alley, so Lin Guang stood right in the middle of the road, trying to spread out his palms to prove that he was not carrying any weapons and had no claws to attack.

"If I say I don't want to fight you, can you let me go?"

Lin Guang stood there and made an application to the two ghost hunters.

"Don't even think about it. Tonight is your death! Evil ghost! Don't think you'll be spared by pretending to be a child!"

The blade came towards him, and Rinko jumped back to dodge. The alley was not a place suitable for Rinko's talents, but it was not impossible to run.

It's just a chase. Who the cat is doesn't affect his performance. Anyway, they have all been caught by Kokushibo. It's impossible for these people to run faster than Kokushibo.

Lin Guang made up his mind and took a step forward in the next second. He was not planning to completely get rid of the two people. He just turned a few corners and pulled into a blind spot and immediately hid in someone's yard. Between the bushes, under the corridor, in an inconspicuous corner, any suitable place could become Lin Guang's new home.

Only after the ghost hunters returned empty-handed did Akaza reach out and pull Rinko out of the tank where he was hiding.

"In the end, all you can do is run."

And Lingguang dripped water, using silence as a silent protest.

He said, how could he possibly get along well with Akaza.
