Kamado Tanjiro looked at the familiar figure, a look of disbelief flashed across his face, and murmured, "How could it be possible? Mr. Ningtaki has obviously..."
As he spoke, a warm current emerged in Kamado Tanjiro's heart.
It's like a lonely and helpless child returning to the arms of his parents who can be relied upon and a haven.
My nose felt sore unconsciously, and my eyes gradually became blurred.
At this moment, Kamado Tanjiro had hundreds of thoughts in his heart, and there were countless things he wanted to say to the returning Nintaki Sakonji.
The butterfly ninja next to Kamado Tanjiro also had a look of disbelief on his face.
Because she saw the familiar figure that appeared in her dreams countless times and that she thought she would never see again in her life.
In her mouth, Butterfly Shinobu choked up and said, "Sister Kanae..."
Not only Kamado Tanjiro and Butterfly Ninja, but other Nine Pillars also saw figures that they were familiar with but should never see each other again.
Among them are their comrades, teachers, and their relatives.
Those people who should have passed away, those former ghost hunters, those former pillar-level swordsmen, all returned at this moment.
Such an incredible and shocking fact also pulled them back from the abyss.
Immediately, hope, fighting spirit, fighting spirit, courage... also gradually returned.
Unknowingly, those who had returned had arrived in front of Jiuzhu, Kamado Tanjiro and others.
During this time, Butterfly Ninja couldn't control his heart anymore after smelling the familiar fragrance, and couldn't help but throw himself into Butterfly Kanae and into his sister's arms.
I saw Butterfly Shinobu crying uncontrollably while feeling the familiar body temperature, as if he wanted to vent all his longing and grievances over the years.
At the same time, Kamado Tanjiro looked at the real Nedaki Sakonji who existed in front of him. Unexpectedly, his face was filled with tears and his mouth was opened, as if he wanted to say something, but the too complicated and ups and downs of emotions made him He couldn't form words.
This was the first time Ningtaki Sato saw this, and his originally gentle face became even more gentle and kind.
Without hesitation, he saw Nintaki Sakonji reaching out and gently stroking Kamado Tanjiro's head, and said, "Tanjiro, I have seen everything that happened during this period."
"You have done a great job, and you are worthy of being my disciple, Rin Taki Sakonji. I am proud of you!"
After hearing Nintaki Sakonji's words, Kamado Tanjiro couldn't help but burst into tears, and said with trembling words, "Mr. Nintaki, how could you... Didn't An Xia say that you have..."
Kamado Tanjiro's words were intermittent and incomplete, but Nintaki Sakonji knew what Kamado Tanjiro wanted to say.
Without hesitation, Nintaki Sakonji directly answered Kamado Tanjiro's question, "I have indeed died. The reason why I can come back to the world again is because some kind of existence summoned me in the form of a pseudo-heroic spirit, and them."
Kamado Tanjiro knew that the people Rintaki Sakonji was talking about were the people who should have passed away, but returned at this moment.
And Tanjiro Kamado also noticed the key point in Rintaki Sa's recent words, which was the 'pseudo heroic spirit'.
Kamado Tanjiro remembered that Oku Seiko once said that he was a heroic spirit. What is the difference between this heroic spirit and a pseudo-heroic spirit?
Because he was confused, Kamado Tanjiro directly asked his doubts.
The last time Nintaki Saru heard this, he explained, "Heroic spirits are beings transformed into heroes whose great deeds are left as legends after death and who have become objects of faith."
"And I am not good enough to become a heroic spirit. Just because of the needs of this battle, I was given the identity of a pseudo heroic spirit and returned briefly."
Not only Tanjiro Kamado, but also Kuzhu on the side heard what Nintaki Sakonji said, and his face couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise and shock.
Suddenly, a doubt in their minds was finally answered.
As for the shock, it was the first time that they felt that this world was so strange, and that there were such almost magical existences as heroic spirits.
In addition, they were also shocked that there were unknown existences that could summon these heroic spirits and make the dead return in another way.
They can't imagine and don't know how powerful the unknown existence that can do all this is.
'Perhaps, only the legendary gods can do all this...'
Similar thoughts appeared in their minds, causing their thoughts to become chaotic.
At this moment, Tomioka Giyu, the water column on the side, asked, "Teacher, why did you come back this time?"
This time, before Rintaki Sakonji could answer, Butterfly Kanae spoke first, "Our return this time is to defeat the beast of original sin and prevent the beast of original sin from burning the human system."
Butterfly Kanae's words caused confusion and confusion to appear on the faces of Kuzhu, Kamado Tanjiro and others.
Seeing this, Butterfly Kanae did not hesitate and told them briefly what the Beast of Original Sin was, what Humanity was, what the consequences of burning Humanity were, etc.
After hearing Butterfly Kanae's explanation, Jiuzhu, Kamado Tanjiro and others realized the seriousness of the matter for the first time.
They never imagined that this battle would be related to the survival of mankind.
Once this battle fails, humanity will be burned, human history will disappear, and the human species will also disappear from this world.
This fact was so terrifying that it was difficult for Nine Pillars, Kamado Tanjiro and others to digest and accept it for a while.
However, Sakonji Kintaki, Kanae Butterfly, and others who returned as pseudo-heroic spirits did not hesitate at all, and walked towards the Taotie that was still expanding and getting bigger with firm and determined faces.
They are people who have died once, and they know the mission and burden they shoulder, and they are willing to fight for humanity again.
This kind of perseverance, this kind of courage, this kind of determination, this kind of belief makes them not afraid of the horrible oppression and fear brought by Taotie, let alone... death!
At this moment, there seemed to be a bright light blooming on the bodies of the pseudo-heroic spirits such as Sakonji Nintaki and Kanae Butterfly.
From this bright light, Jiuzhu, Kamado Tanjiro and others seemed to see the entire history of mankind, and seemed to hear the hymn called mankind.
Without any further hesitation, Jiuzhu, Kamado Tanjiro and others silently picked up their Nichirin swords and followed the group of pseudo-heroic spirits towards Taotie, who had not yet fully evolved.
Maybe their power seems weak in front of Taotie, but they are strong among humans.
Therefore, for the continuation of human nature, the prosperity of human history, and the survival of mankind, they are willing to stand up, even if they pay for it with their own lives.
It's not how holy they are, but the awareness they already had the moment they decided to become ghost hunters.
And this is humanity, the hymn of humanity!
