Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Time has not left any traces on the boy's body, not only his appearance has not changed, but also his character has not changed.

He is lively and naughty, and his words sometimes make people feel that he is not in his right mind.

But things did change after all.

The boy who was used to hiding behind Muzan has learned to stand in front of others.

Even Akaza was surprised when his vision was blocked. Although vision had limited effect on him during battle, if the opponent was someone like Rinkou who was difficult to detect and had no desire to fight, he would lose all trace of him if his vision was blocked.

"It's blood vampire magic. I studied it for a long time, and only mastered it completely not long ago."

The pitch-black vision returned to normal when he opened his eyes the next time. Lin Guang was standing in front of him, with his hand still in the falling position.

"One is to make yourself disappear, and the other is to block the other person's vision. That's quite your style."

"It's not about making yourself disappear, it's about making the hope disappear. If Akaza wishes, you can disappear without being noticed. However, if someone sees you, it will be ineffective. After all, no matter how cleverly you hide something, it can't cover up the fact that it objectively exists."

Akaza was surprised by Rinkou's mature choice of words, but seeing the other person's expression as he tried hard to recall, he guessed that these words probably didn't really come from Rinkou's mouth.

"That's what my Lordship said."

really.

"Does Rinko's blood demon art have a name?"

Akaza casually extended the topic.

"Yes. Yes. That gentleman got it for me not long ago."

"what is it call?"

"The moon is hidden and the stars are gone. Clouds and fog are shrouding the place."

It's an easy to understand naming method...

Akaza wanted to say something else, but an unexpected call in his head stopped him.

"My Lord, you have something to ask me."

It was a very sudden summons, directed only at him. Lingguang was right opposite him, but he didn't seem to have received the message.

"Well. See you next time."

Akaza wanted to ask Rinko to wait for him here, but before he could say anything, Rinko offered a more suitable solution. Oni weren't supposed to gather together, and Rinko had his privileges, but Muzan's orders to him were to interact with others, rather than just stay with one oni. Otherwise, Muzan would have simply left the boy to Rui instead of letting him explore on his own.

What’s funny is that the one who realized this first was not the older Akaza, but the younger Rinkou.

"Okay. See you next time."

Lin Guang smiled and waved at him, then turned and left, eventually disappearing from sight. He, on the other hand, also had his own destination to go to.

-

"Don't you like Akaza-dono very much? Why don't you just wait for him there? He would also want you to wait for him."

The small pot swayed on the string, and a familiar sound came from the mouth of the pot.

"Do you wish to remain in a state where it could be shattered at any moment?"

Rinkou answered questions with questions.

The boy was looking at the stars, counting upwards, but he didn't want to be disturbed and forgot where he was counting.

Yuhu was quiet, the answer was obvious.

Ghosts like Rinkou are rare exceptions. The relationship between Akaza and Douma is a more common situation among ghosts. They dislike each other and want to tear each other's heads off and then tear each other's bodies apart and swallow them into their stomachs.

The relationship between the upper zodiac signs is uniquely stable despite being unstable. Regardless of whether they are introverted or relatively extroverted, everyone maintains a delicate balance, a superficial calm.

But if possible, Yu Hu felt that he would not miss the opportunity to eat Bantian Gou.

"I like Akaza. I like Makijuro too. It's the same thing. But for Akaza, it's different. Liking and liking are different. Ghosts and humans are different. Humans will eventually become food or become corpses."

"Is not it?"

Yuhu asked him back, very frankly, very directly, and in a matter-of-fact tone.

This is the reality. The fate of humans in front of ghosts is nothing more than becoming corpses or food.

But what Lin Guang pursued was never a predetermined ending.

"Will you stop doing it just because the pot will eventually break?"

Lin Guang raised his wrist in front of him and shook the small pot.

"If you insist on thinking this way, your life will be very difficult."

It's not hard to hear the gloating emotion in his voice, and it seems he has no intention of hiding it. After all, Lingguang won't easily change his mind because of his teasing.

"Well then. Let's run away when we get into trouble. I'm pretty good at running away anyway, right?"

This was a very suitable excuse, and Yuhu did not ask about the topic that had already been ended without any tact.

"So where are you going to find a new friend next, little Lingguang?"

This stumped Lin Guang. He crossed his arms and thought for a while. Yu Hu got the answer in the dead silence. He hadn't thought it through.

In the end, Lin Guang chose the oldest method. He picked up a branch from the side of the tree, placed one end on the ground and the other end on his fingertips. As he moved his hand away, the branch fell in one direction.

"Let's go."

Lingguang happily decided on the direction to move forward, and Yuhu once again felt that leaving a pot to this child was an extremely correct decision. If such an unreliable little guy really encountered any danger, he would die without knowing how.

1.

"Will you stop doing it just because the pot will eventually break?"

In fact, it is to express that what Rinkou cares about is not the people who will die or be eaten, he just wants to make that pot, just wants to contact that person, and what is important is not the ending, but the process. This is Rinkou's own obsession.

Yuhu understood this metaphor. He had competed with Rinkou before, and he knew at that time that Rinkou had his own set of logic in his head. That logic could be considered to be justified. The recognition of Rinkou's "art" and the understanding of Rinkou left at that time made him more tolerant of Rinkou. This tolerance was different from Akaza's indulgence.

Akaza doesn't understand but doesn't care, Yuhu doesn't approve but understands. One side is indulgent, the other side is approving.

In Yuhu's eyes, Lingguang treated humans as cats and dogs on the roadside, and regarded such contact as a game and an interesting experience. After all, no ghost can be friends with humans.

Similarly, Yuhu believes that Rinkou is "looking for inspiration".

Sometimes I think the boy is mentally ill, but he rarely says it out loud, after all, he is not Douma.

Moon Hides Stars Disappear. (Used on one's own side, the main effect is hiding, which can block the opponent's sight and prevent them from noticing him. It can also hide others, but the fact that the object exists will not be changed. If it is seen, it will become ineffective, similar to the feeling of Schrödinger's cat. It feels inexplicably sharp.

It's easy to interpret: the moon hides, the stars vanish. It's an impossible situation in itself, but just as the faint flame of Rinkou can hide the bright moon, the impossible becomes reality. (Plus, Rinkou's name alludes to the night light, which is the moon and stars. Rinkou disappears, and so does the moon and stars.)

Clouds and fog. (Used on enemies, the main effect is to directly affect the opponent's vision, plunging them into darkness.

It is also easy to understand. The clouds cover the light and the thick fog blocks the view, so all that can be seen is endless darkness.

Xiao Linguang's skills are not very strong in themselves. They can only be said to be slightly novel in the ghost world, but they can be very useful if used well. For example, he can directly bring Muzan's heart to see the lord (I am just making this up as an example)
