It’s not too much for me, the slime, to capture Xiao Wu.

"It's you! Why are you here?"

Seeing Xiao Wu and Yan Lingji, Tanjiro widened his clear and puzzled eyes, and his face was full of surprise.

However, after communicating with Zhu Shi a few days ago, his hostility towards Lin Tian and others was reduced.

"We're here to catch ghosts, of course. You might not know this, but your whereabouts have been exposed. Two ghosts have followed you here. They're upper-rank ghosts."

Xiao Wu folded her hands over her chest, tilted her head slightly, and had a faint smile on her face.

"How can this be?"

Tanjiro's mouth opened in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.

His body trembled unconsciously, as if the news had hit the most vulnerable part of his heart.

"What's impossible? I'm not going to lie to you. Anyway, you'll know by night."

Xiao Wu snorted lightly and turned her head away from Tanjiro. Her pretty face was full of confidence at this moment. After she finished speaking, she hugged Lin Tian tightly and walked past Tanjiro with Yan Lingji.

Their skirts swayed gently with their steps, drawing graceful arcs in the moonlight.

"and many more!"

It took Tanjiro a while to recover from the news about the ghost.

When he turned around, he found that the two women had disappeared.

He stood there blankly, looking in the direction they left, his eyes full of confusion and worry.

So he stamped his feet, did not linger any longer, turned around and went to the yard where the village chief was.

But as soon as he entered the courtyard, he unexpectedly found that the Love Pillar Kanroji Miri and the Kasumi Pillar Tokito Muichiro were also there.

The village chief also learned about the ghost's arrival from Ganlu Temple Miri's reminder.

The village has been prepared and the Demon Slayer Corps has been notified.

But it was too late.

When night fell, Hantengu, the Upper Four, and Yuhu, the Upper Five, also arrived at the outskirts of the village.

A thin layer of mist surrounded the village, making the whole village look mysterious and eerie.

Seeing the village brightly lit and patrolled by Demon Slayer Corps members and villagers, the two frowned.

"Strange, have our whereabouts been exposed? Why is the village on alert so early? Why don't we go back?"

The dog spoke timidly for a long time, shrinking his head. His timid appearance looked particularly funny in the moonlight.

But Yuhu didn't care about it. After all, their purpose of coming here was to massacre the village, so he controlled the jar and rolled in.

"Even if they noticed, so what? It would be too easy to kill a bunch of powerless people."

Yu Hu's voice was sharp and piercing, a hideous smile appeared on his twisted face, and a cruel light flashed in his eyes.

As he spoke, he rolled into the village, then crawled out of the jar and conjured up a dozen jars, throwing them to other corners of the village.

The can rolled on the ground, making a dull sound, breaking the tranquility of the night.

But Bantiangou felt that this was too dangerous. Being timid by nature, he turned his eyes, found an empty corner, and quietly entered the swordsmith village.

At this time, many people including Lin Tian and Xiao Wu gathered in the hall of the courtyard where the village chief was.

What was unexpected was that the scene fell into a certain degree of chaos as a result.

Five or six hours had passed into the night.

It was almost 12 o'clock, and the ghost that Xiao Wu mentioned did not appear. Those who were called by the village chief began to complain.

"Village chief, it's almost 12 o'clock. Where's the ghost you were talking about? Why hasn't it appeared yet? Don't be fooled by some little girl who hasn't even grown all her hair yet. You've gathered everyone in the village to make a joke of it."

A burly villager named Cai shouted loudly, the flesh on his face trembling as he spoke, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and anger.

These suggestive words made Xiao Wu very unhappy. Just as she was about to retort, another masked villager spoke up.

"You're right. We've been working day and night to forge weapons. We finally have a chance to rest, but now we're stuck here trying to stop that ghost. This thankless task is torture!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, another villager stood up and said, "I agree with Xu's statement."

"I've lived here for decades, and I've never encountered a ghost. The entire village hasn't seen a ghost since it was built."

"Now that these two outsiders come, ghosts appear. I think they are the ones who brought the ghosts. I think it's better to lock them up."

An old man with wrinkles on his face spoke in a hoarse voice, suspicion and hostility flashing in his cloudy eyes.

"you!"

Xiao Wu was so angry that her face turned red. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be spewing fire and her hands were clenched into fists.

The surrounding villagers also nodded in agreement, agreeing with what the three said.

"What do you mean by 'you'? If it weren't for you, we would have gone back to sleep long ago. I think you are fooling us."

"Maybe there really is a ghost, but they attracted the ghost themselves, and are now crying thief."

Cai's voice became increasingly high-pitched, and he almost named Xiao Wu, saying that it was Xiao Wu who did it.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly chaotic, Mi Yaojie from Ganlu Temple wanted to speak up for help, but when he saw so many villagers, he backed off.

Her petite figure seemed somewhat helpless in the crowd, her lips trembled slightly, and in the end she remained silent.

Seeing this, Tanjiro stepped forward decisively.

"Everyone, don't say that. Whatever we do is for your own good. If there really is something fishy going on, taking precautions early can help reduce casualties, right?"

"Who knows? We'll have to wait until you guys go. We're going back to bed."

Under Cai's leadership, some villagers who were unwilling to wait chose to leave.

Seeing this, the village chief could only sigh helplessly and let them leave.

His weathered face was filled with helplessness and worry, and his eyes were filled with loss as he looked at the departing villagers.

Seeing this, Tanjiro immediately followed to try to persuade them, but unfortunately he couldn't persuade them at all, so he could only return to the hall in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xiaowu, I didn't expect them to say that." Tanjiro lowered his head and said with a guilty look on his face.

Xiao Wu snorted coldly, then turned and left the room. "Let them leave if they want. I'm not the one dying anyway."

On the other side, a group of craftsmen led by Cai Xukun and three others did not forget to curse after leaving the village chief's room.

But when everyone passed a corner, an object that looked like a chamber pot appeared in front of them, which made them frown.

"Who is it! Putting a urinal here in the middle of the night? Forget it, I just need to go to the bathroom!" As Kun finished speaking, the originally calm urinal suddenly trembled.

Then, as the three people looked on in horror, a ghost with a distorted face and several pairs of small hands crawled out from inside.

"You damn guys, how dare you call my artwork a urinal? I'll eat you." Yu Hu's voice seemed to come from hell, making people shudder.

“Ya…Ya…Yamiedie!!!”

Accompanied by three shrill screams that echoed throughout the village, Cai Xukun and the other two were swallowed directly into the jade pot.

Seeing this, the remaining villagers were so scared that they pissed and shit all over the place, and then ran around like crazy.

The miserable cries, accompanied by the stench of feces and urine, played a pleasant melody.
