"Ah~ What a kind-hearted woman."

"But don't worry, we are very strong."

However, Rust, who was also a woman, turned around and replied.

"Hey, did you hear that? They are going to the opposite village."

"Police from Tokyo Prefecture?"

"No, even the police should come from Osaka. Tokyo is too far away from us."

The villagers in the fields heard the conversation between Yin Lumi and the kimono girl Aika, and started talking again.

Late at night, 23:59.

In a village across the mountain, a group of people gathered in an uninhabited earthen house, waiting for the ghost to come.

However, they have been waiting in this village for six hours.

From six o'clock in the evening until now, the ghost still has not appeared.

"Click...click..."

Yin Lumi held a pocket watch in his hand. The moonlight shone on the pocket watch through the window, allowing him to see clearly the moving hour hand in the pocket watch.

"Click!"

The hour hand turned and it came to twelve o'clock in the night.

"No wait, let's go straight into the mountain."

Yin Lumi put away his pocket watch, stood up from the straw mat, walked out of the door, and the group walked in groups towards the ghost-infested mountain.

A group of people were walking on the streets of the village, and the moonlight poured on his face, illuminating the protruding blood vessels and a pair of scarlet erections on his face.

Since the time to transform into a human was only eight hours, Yin Lumi tried his best to spend his human time during the day and use his ghost body to move around at night.

When he gets tired from walking in a human body during the day, he can transform back into a ghost body at night. His strong recovery power allows him to eliminate fatigue in a matter of seconds.

However, because the recovery power of ghosts is so strong, Yin Lumi only needs to rest for three minutes to transform back into a human body again.

If his recovery power becomes stronger in the future, this cooldown time will be shortened until he can seamlessly switch between human and ghost bodies.

At this time, in the forest halfway up the mountain.

"clang!"

In the dark and gloomy forest, a spark suddenly lit up, and at the same time, the sound of metal collision echoed in the forest.

"Dang! Dang!"

A embarrassed figure held knives in both hands, and from time to time he faced an attack from the shadows.

"Tear!"

Suddenly, the man holding the knife was not paying attention, and a black shadow flashed past him, adding a wound to his back.

"Jahahahahaha, how about it?"

"Demon Slayer, how about my unparalleled speed?"

"Can't stand it?"

"Be afraid, cry, despair."

In the shadow, a black shadow jumped back and forth between the branches at an extremely fast speed.

This member of the Demon Slayer Corps couldn't keep up with the naked eye, so he could only rely on experience and intuition to parry.

"Damn, it's so fast."

"With my reflexes and eyesight, I couldn't have prevented it."

The embarrassed member of the Demon Slayer Corps gnashed his teeth and turned his body, with the black shadow in the shadow licking a wound on his body from time to time.

As time passed, his physical strength gradually declined.

"No, we have to retreat."

"If we don't retreat, I will die here."

"clang!"

While thinking about how to escape, he raised his knife to block the blow.

"Pfft!"

After missing a hit, he immediately returned to the shadows. With the help of the rebound from the tree trunk, he pounced forward again and cut a wound on the Demon Slayer member's right arm.

"Walk!"

The Demon Slayer member who was injured in his dominant arm and noticed that his physical strength was constantly draining, no longer hesitated, turned around and ran down the mountain.

"Hahahaha, finally started to run away~!?"

"The legendary Demon Slayer Squad is no different from ordinary people."

"Fragile~fragile~fragile~!"

The black shadow jumped quickly among the branches, calmly following the Demon Slayer members, taunting and laughing.

"Human beings are born to be food for ghosts!"

Suddenly, the members of the Demon Slayer Squad kicked a stone under their feet while running wildly, and their bodies stumbled, revealing a flaw.

"die!"

On a big tree on the left, a black shadow saw the right moment, bent its limbs and exerted force, and its muscles swelled. It sprinted out, grabbing the Nichirin sword with one hand, and stabbing the Demon Slayer member's throat with the other hand.

"Am I going to die?"

At this moment, the member of the Demon Slayer Corps seemed to see his own imminent death.

"blow!"

But at this moment, there was a sound in the forest below the mountain.

"Peng!"

A stone the size of a fist accurately hit the shadow's right elbow where it was stabbing at the throat.

"Kacha!"

There was a sound of bones shattering, and the black shadow's right elbow bent inward, and the white bones pierced the flesh and blood and were exposed to the air.

"Ah~!"

Immediately, the black shadow screamed in pain and collided with the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, causing the two of them to spin and fall towards the uneven ground.

When the Demon Slayer member fell to the ground, he raised his right leg and kicked the black shadow on the abdomen with a "bang", sending it flying away. He also took the opportunity to distance himself and retreated to the foot of a big tree.

.

"It hurts~!"

"Which guy who wants to die dares to attack me?"

The black shadow stood up from the ground, gritted his teeth and looked at the forest below the mountain.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps who had escaped with their lives also turned their heads to look in the direction from which the stone flew, with a look of hope in their eyes.

"Da... da..."

A figure stepped out of the shadows against the moonlight, carrying a knife at his waist and wearing black clothes. His face could not be seen clearly.

"As expected, he is a comrade of the Demon Slayer Squad!"

The member of the Demon Slayer Squad immediately showed a look of joy. He alone could not defeat this demon, but it was not certain that the two of them would die, at least they would not die.

"Damn it, is this another Demon Slayer here to die?"

The black shadow on the other side was lying on the ground, and his elbow, which was broken by the stone, was pressed by his hand, forced to take it back, and then recovered.

"Well, you're lucky."

"Not only did I meet a ghost, I also met a member of the Demon Slayer Squad."

The visitor spoke, and his calm, calm voice echoed in the forest, making the members of the Demon Slayer Squad feel certain.

The person coming must be a strong companion.

"Zheng!"
