…
at the same time.
Infinite city.
"Um……"
Da da da…
Wuhan looked anxious, sitting upright on the chair. He was wearing a suit lining, resting his elbows on the armrests, looking straight ahead with his scarlet eyes.
The sharp black nails kept tapping on the chair, making a dull clicking sound.
He shifted uneasily in his chair.
After sending Hanten Dog and Yuhu to the Knife Forging Village.
He never dared again...
clatter.
The sound of nails tapping suddenly stopped.
No, I didn't care.
He didn't care what any other ghosts thought.
He didn't want to face the situation like last time again.
But in this way, it is impossible to know how things will develop.
Wu Ke was very anxious inside.
What if, that guy didn't arrive at the Sword Forging Village...
In case, in fact, the blue Higan flower grows in Blacksmith Village...
The anxious and angry state continues to this day.
With great inner confusion.
Wumei closed his eyes, slowly opened them, glanced not far away, and spoke in a cold voice:
"Narume."
! !
Naru-nu, who was sitting not far away, immediately sat up straight, sweating suddenly, holding her lute in her arms and sitting upright:
"My subordinate is here, Master Wuhan."
Muzan thought for a moment, then raised his hand and ordered Naru:
"Call Yu Hu and Ban Tian Gou over."
"yes."
Naruto gently stroked the lute twice.
Bang!
next moment.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Naru's mouth. She hugged the lute in astonishment and looked at Wuhan in bewilderment.
If she wants to teleport the designated ghost, she must first obtain Wuhan's consent and obtain the specific location sensed by the blood connection.
Only then can it be transported to Infinite City.
But just now...
Naruting Girl did not sense the presence of Hantengu and Yuhu from Muzan's blood.
She straightened up again, her hand on the pipa trembling a little, and her huge single eye was full of panic.
--what do you mean?
——Lord Muzan...why didn't you tell me the location of those two people...?
She was extremely panicked, and she glanced timidly in the direction of Wu Mei, only to find that the other party didn't show any response.
"Gudu..." He swallowed back the blood that was about to spurt out.
The desire to survive caused thousands of thoughts to flash through my mind in an instant.
Finally, an idea stuck in my mind.
...are you testing me?
Naruto's eyes lit up.
No, that's right... I have been promoted to Shangxian. If my role is still the same as before, then what is the meaning of my existence as Shangxian?
This is a test, a test related to your own survival!
Thinking of this.
She held on to the blood rushing in her body due to chaos, held down her hand, and played the pipa again forcibly!
Bang!
"Pfft!" Another mouthful of blood sprayed out.
aside.
Seeing Naru's blood spurting out, Muzan immediately understood what was going on.
Slowly retract your legs, wrap your hands around your knees, and sit on the chair.
The body gradually shrank and turned into the appearance of a child.
His face was expressionless.
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
Just silently, he changed the number in Naru Nu's eyes from [Lu] to [四].
…
Shortly after.
"Ho...ahem!"
The wooden board in front of Naru Nu was already a bright red.
She raised her head in a daze, and the word in her eyes turned into a big "四".
She was shocked to find that the power in her body was soaring.
"??"
Naru Nu raised her head and looked blankly at where Muzan was sitting.
But there was no one there anymore.
…
…
the other side.
The main entrance of Butterfly House.
The moment Nintaki Sakonji and Tanjuro saw each other, they were both stunned.
Just for a moment.
——Didn’t notice it.
Sabotaki's muscles tensed subconsciously, and his attention had been focused on the Tokito brothers who were speaking.
And based on his breath alone, he was completely unable to detect the arrival of the person in front of him.
If you don't really see it and notice the moment of hostility on the other side.
He thought that what was in front of him was just a dead object.
At this time,
"Father!"
Tanjiro turned around and shouted in surprise, with a happy smile on his dirty little face:
"Is the knife ready?"
His son's voice rang in his ears, Tanjuro came back to his senses slightly, smiled at Tanjiro and shook his head:
"No, I just came back first."
Father?
Lintaki was slightly startled. He slowly put down his guard and observed Tanjuro in front of him again.
After seeing that the other person's face was similar to Tanjiro's, as well as the red scar on his forehead, he suddenly realized.
I see.
Although he didn't see the weakness that Tanjiro mentioned before, the two did look similar.
"...Your Excellency, are you Mr. Kamado?" His dull and hoarse voice came from under the mask, and the eyes of the red Tengu mask looked at Tanjuro.
Tanjuro smiled, put down his hand on the handle of the knife, and looked at the old man in front of him, who made him feel dazed for a moment:
"Well, it's our first time meeting you. I asked you to take care of me earlier, Mr. Lintaki."
Previously, Tanjuro used the name of Tomioka Giyu to let Aoieda and the others live in Lintaki's house.
I haven’t had time to say thank you yet.
Tanjuro suddenly remembered.
Oh—I also forgot to apologize to Giyong.
Nintaki Sakonji nodded. He also heard some news about the team and knew about the defeat of Kamiguruichi.
Just when I wanted to say something.
He looked around Tanjuro and saw the Tokito family behind him.
Shi Touxun looked curiously.
Among them, the young Muichiro was looking with his eyes wide open, looking here curiously, and pointed with his dirty and rough little finger:
"...Brother, look."
"...Weird people are everywhere, you're right!"
Linlong's ears twitched slightly, and his expression was startled.
This kid…
As if aware of Lintaki's gaze, Ichiro came to his senses, quickly covered his brother's mouth, and nodded to Lintaki apologetically.
"They are going to live in the Butterfly House temporarily."
Tanjuro followed Lintaki's gaze and turned his head to explain: "It's a family living near the Sword Forging Village."
At this time.
"Need to lead the way?"
Tanjiro had already walked up to the Tokito family. He asked enthusiastically and took the luggage from Yuirou's hand:
"It must be very hard, walking here."
"Just follow me. I know where there are spare rooms."
"Don't worry, everyone here is very gentle."
With that said, he picked up his luggage, turned around, smiled and motioned for the people behind him to follow.
When Yuirou looked at Tanjiro's smile, he was a little dazed, and then he realized that the luggage in his hand had been taken over:
"Ah...ah..."
——What a capable child.
Then he quickly took two steps forward, took the luggage from Tanjiro's hand, and said in a humble voice:
"Thank you, just let me carry my luggage..."
Tanjiro rejected him righteously:
"Don't worry." He noticed the damaged straw sandals on Weiyi Lang's feet stained with mud:
"I will deliver the luggage to the room in perfect condition!"
As he said that, he gave Yilang a trusting look.
Ichiro and Muichiro looked at each other.
The two of them coincidentally - they felt like a father from Tanjiro.
