Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

"How long are you going to stay up there?"

The tired voice came from below. Against the backdrop of the quiet night, such a gentle male voice also carried a sense of oppression.

What responded to him was not human words, but the whistling of the wind. He looked up and saw a boy swinging on a swing, but what he mistook for a swing was soft spider silk.

It was not made by him, but came from another family member. It was not as hard or tough as his, but it was soft enough, so the boy liked it very much.

"You just found it, but you haven't caught it yet."

Lin Guang's voice was more childish and gentle than his. It was swaying and the tone was a little off, but it did not affect the self-righteous tone.

The next second, Rui appeared in Lin Guang's sight. The swing was swinging due to inertia, and his legs were swinging high, blocking his sight. At a quick glance, Rui seemed to be standing in the air.

As his body leaned forward, the swung spider silk swayed backward, and Lei appeared in the center of his vision again. With the help of the moonlight, Lin Guang saw the mystery of Lei's levitation.

It was spider silk, extremely fine spider silk, so thin that it was difficult to detect, overlapping together to form a place to stand.

Lin Guang didn't even notice when the spider silk appeared. Or maybe they had already existed from the beginning.

"It's going to be daybreak."

Lei approached Lin Guang step by step. The 'prey' surrounded by the spider web seemed unaware of the predator's intention and continued to stroll leisurely.

But as he got closer, the amplitude of Lingguang's swing gradually decreased. Finally, they were only a few meters apart. Lingguang no longer swung, and his legs hung naturally. The boy leaned his head on his arm that was holding the spider silk.

"Does this mean you admit defeat?"

Rinko asked him.

Lei replied in the negative with a expression that didn't show any fluctuation on his face.

Lin Guang understood, he let go of his hands, leaned back, and fell from the sky due to inertia, ready to start a new round of pursuit.

"Rinko, it's almost dawn."

This wasn't an admission of defeat; it was forcing him to admit defeat, but Rinkou didn't want to lose to Rui, so he simply turned a deaf ear to him.

Unfortunately, his plan did not succeed, and his falling body did not touch the ground as expected.

The spider silk silently wrapped around his body. It was unnoticeable at first, but as it got closer to the ground, the feeling of being pulled became more and more obvious. By the time he realized the seriousness of the problem, he had missed the best chance to break free.

The ground was right in front of him, but the threads entangled his body, hindering his movements. He could still move his limbs, but the range of motion was very limited. The threads were clearly visible through his clothes. Rui didn't intend to kill him or sever any of his body parts; he was simply hanging there. His body was in the air, with no support, as if he was being lifted into the air by Kong Xi, but the hand was invisible, and he didn't even have a chance to kick him.

"That's a foul."

Lin Guang raised his head and condemned the culprit.

Under his gaze, Lei walked down from the height with ease, then slowly walked to his front. The silk thread was lowered a little, but it was still high enough for him to touch the ground.

Rinkou rarely has the opportunity to look down on others, and in fact he does not like this perspective, because this uncommon experience usually comes from the malice of those who should be in this perspective, such as Cola, Douma, and now Rui.

"You didn't say you couldn't use spider silk."

This is exploiting a loophole in the rules. Lin Guang did not mention that he could not use blood magic or props, but shouldn't this be the default rule of the game? Who would get into the cage when the cat is catching the mouse?

That's a foul. Being tired is just an excuse.

Rui didn't have the ability to read minds like Lin Guang, but he could still catch a clear message from the puffed cheeks, the glanced mouth and the frown.

Lin Guang was not convinced.

And this is not the first time.

----

"Hide and seek? With me?"

Lei was surprised by Lin Guang's proposal, not because of the game, but because of Lin Guang's bravery. This mountain belonged to his territory, and it was no exaggeration to say that the entire mountain was under his control.

And facing such a man, Lin Guang has the courage to engage in a cat-and-mouse game?

"Yes, let's try it."

"it is good."

I have no reason to refuse, and I don't feel the need to refuse.

This is an unfair game, Lei thinks so.

But when the game started, he realized the reason why Rinkou chose this game. He disappeared, completely disappeared in the mountains. What allowed Lei to find him was not his perception or eyes, but the touched silk thread. The pulling meant that a living creature passed by, and based on the amplitude and frequency of the trembling, he chased after it and found Rinkou bound by a spider web.

"That's not fair, you set a trap."

The boy was hanging in the air, with some marks left on his body by the spider silk. Because of his inappropriate struggle, the silk thread became tighter and tighter, and he stopped only when it was about to bleed.

"The trap was always there. You didn't pay attention to your surroundings and were only focused on escaping, so you ran into it headfirst, like a foolish moth."

Lin Guang didn't believe his explanation and didn't accept the result of the game. He firmly believed that he could defeat Rui as long as the opponent didn't use spider webs and silk threads, but Rui thought, why not?

----

"It is wise to use whatever means you can to achieve your goals, and it is foolish not to use your advantages."

He pointed his finger at his forehead again and again, trying to lecture Lin Guang, but the one being lectured seemed not to hear a single word he said.

"Children have their own rules. They don't need to be smart."

Lin Guang stubbornly retorted.

This is not a debate, it's a child's play of mischief, and even the tiredness can be seen.

Lin Guang just refused to admit defeat.

Each side has its own stance, just like Rinko and Gyokutsuchi cannot reach an agreement, Rinko and Rui also have their own views on the method of hide-and-seek. They follow the rules and rely on themselves, and the goal is to win, so all kinds of means can be used. Different opinions can never be reconciled, so every time the winner is clear, a small quarrel follows.

A harmless little quarrel.

For Rui, this was not enough to bother him, nor did it affect his mood, because the result was not important. Even if Lin Guang had the upper hand in words, it would not affect the boy being tied up into a small puppet in spider silk and taken home.

Since the ending will not change, there is no need to worry about the small problems in the process.

"Good morning."

After being brought home, Lin Guang skillfully crawled into the closet before the darkness completely disappeared, and fell into the pile of soft spider silk, with his small body sinking into it. He would spend the whole day like this.

"Good morning."

Lei watched Lin Guang close his eyes and closed the door expressionlessly.

The Rinko at night is very pleasing, but the daytime one is not so much.

The boy always slept during the day, perhaps because he didn't eat enough to keep himself energetic after a night of reveling and during the day when ghosts were not prevalent.

It's not uncommon for ghosts to sleep during the day, but it's rare for them to completely miss the sun like Rinko did.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Lin Guang's activeness at night makes the whole day seem empty without him.

"I wish he could stop sleeping during the day."

Tired of silent sighs.
