After traveling through Demon Slayer, is it possible to survive?

Chapter 137 Everything Begins to Change - To be revised

Infinite city.

I opened my eyes, and in that space where a normal person couldn't see their hand in front of them, I could see everything clearly. At this moment, I was in a state of meditation and trance.

I frowned slightly, immediately stopped this "ridiculous" action, got off the bed, and whispered.

"A superstitious fellow..."

I walked out of the room, and the door broke into countless tiny particles the moment I approached it. After I walked out, it condensed into the shape of a door again.

The moment I walked out, the faint light of the red sun covered my eyes.

“Still as dirty as ever…”

I looked ahead, there was nothing in front of me, but in my eyes, there were countless empty objects filled with dead silence in front of me.

They were hideous and twisted, like the ghosts of the wronged. Endless hatred was conveyed from their eyeless eyes. They opened their mouths and kept approaching me, but they could not touch my body at all and passed through me.

This is the soul of someone I have killed...

No one can see your ways except me.

Because only I have the ability to see the soul.

I have forgotten how many I have killed...

I didn't take any action, just watched coldly, and then a faint aura of weak majesty appeared around me, and then it turned into a strong gale the next moment.

Those disgusting souls that were washed away...the entire Infinite City was also shaken by this and began to shake violently.

Mingnu, who sensed something was wrong from a distance, was obviously stunned, but she quickly reacted and used the blood demon art to change all aspects of the Infinite City, shifting the space and reducing vibrations.

After doing all this, Mingnu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that although the power of the vibration was not enough to destroy the Infinite City, such a shaking might scare the pets in the "zoo".

[“…So strange, there are more and more strange things happening…How about we go and ask…?”] Mingnu thought in her mind, but soon stopped.

"Forget it, just let it go...naturally." Mingnu now felt that it was better to have less trouble than more, and there was no need to add to her own troubles.

I watched the strong wind in front of me crush my soul, and I just watched calmly, with disgust in my eyes.

"Master Wuhan..."

A familiar voice came from behind me, but I didn't look back and still looked forward.

"Stand up." I said in a cold tone.

"Yes." Kokushibo replied immediately, but his movements were a little slow, and he stood up from kneeling on one knee.

"I still remember what I told you before. The reason why I have a close relationship with you among all the upper ranks and why I don't want you to be treated as a master or servant is not because you are so powerful..." I turned around slowly, without any emotion mixed with it: "It's because I simply like you. So what I need is a companion. Not a slave who only knows how to obey!"

At this moment, Kokushibo was like a child who had done something wrong, listening with a depressed expression. However, when he heard the first sentence I said after turning around, his depressed mood suddenly improved.

[“Is it because... you like me...?”] Kokushibo pondered this sentence secretly in his heart, and for some reason his heart beat faster, feeling happy and joyful.

"Yes, I turned you into a ghost because I loved you, and after you became a ghost, I no longer had any thoughts about the swordsman with the breathing technique turning into a ghost..." I read his thoughts and confirmed those words, and my eyes, which were free of any emotion, also gained a hint of seriousness.

"So you are unique in my heart, is that clear?"

Kokushibo was startled at first, because I didn’t use the ability to read minds often before.

So even though Kokushibo knew about this ability, he did not take it to heart.

"Your subordinate...I understand." Kokushibo said seriously, but did not use honorifics, because he had memorized those words deeply in his heart.

[“What is needed is not a slave, but a companion, one of a kind.”]

At this time, Kokushibo had confirmed my return, although I had changed a lot, from a child who had not grown up for hundreds of years to a real adult.

It's more realistic. However, there's no need for all your hair to turn white when you grow up... Although you have white hair and bloodshot eyes, the change is still a bit too big.

《Note: Mo Yunchuan in Kokushibo's memory still only has half of the memory.》

I nodded slightly, turned around again, and looked at the place where countless souls had originally stood. Those weird and ugly souls had disappeared, and now... there was still one standing in front of me.

The remaining soul twisted its body, and its limbs were not able to crawl forward in a coordinated manner like those souls. Its hands were twisted and its steps were disorderly.

But still moving towards me.

"Red Sun·Reverse..." I said softly, and then my hand was covered with a faint red sunlight. I raised my hand and reached out to that soul.

I didn't touch it and it stopped at the distance of a fist. But the soul seemed to be caught by me. A vortex formed in my palm and started to rotate in the opposite direction.

The soul suddenly began to shrink rapidly, and changed from the shape of an adult to that of a teenager or a child.

The soul struggled, flailing its limbs and torso frantically, opening its mouth and roaring silently, then it shrank rapidly and finally disappeared...

When the soul dies, there is no reincarnation.

"Keep up..." I retracted the red sun from my hands and eyes and said coldly.

Originally still wondering what I was doing, Black Mou immediately replied after hearing it: "Yes."

Mingnu, who was watching all this from a distance, couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"There haven't been many changes. Muzan-sama still hasn't noticed, and Kokushibo-sama hasn't expressed it clearly either. It may take a long time..."

Mingnu muttered softly, plucking the strings of the pipa to repair the damaged parts of the Infinite Castle.

The Demon Slayer Corps' secret headquarters.

Ubuyashiki Teriyachi inherited the position of the new lord, and his two elder sisters and younger sister assisted him. Although he took the position of lord at the age of only six, due to time constraints, they could no longer wait for him to grow up.

The previous lord and his wife were captured by the Demon King, and their life and death are unknown. This unprecedented crisis forces even Urokodaki Sanji, who lives deep in the mountains, to show up and help them overcome the difficulties.

Ubuyashiki Teriya took in Tamayo who came to leave the demon camp. Although the pillars tried to dissuade him, Ubuyashiki Teriya still insisted on taking her in.

Just because his father once said in front of him: "Ms. Tamayo is someone you can absolutely trust."

And left a letter asking Tamayo to come to the Demon Slayer Corps.

Then, they accepted Yoriichi Tsugakuni again. Surprisingly, no one stopped them this time. Perhaps the pillars still had a glimmer of hope.

After all, Tamayo knew that Tsugukuni Yoriichi was a close friend of the Demon King, and he had concealed a lot of things about the Demon King, so the current situation was undoubtedly a life-and-death situation.

But if we don't accept these two people, we may be doomed.

Let’s not talk about Tamayo for now. Her superb medical skills and the potion that can turn ghosts into humans are enough to make her be taken seriously.

As for Tsugumi Yoshiichi, there is no need to say more, because when Ubuyashiki Yoshiya recruited him into the Demon Slayer Corps, the person he tested his strength against was the Nine Pillars.

And win in no more than ten minutes, without any damage, and without the intention to kill, avoiding serious harm.

At that time, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's evaluation of him was just one sentence: "If Mr. Tsugukuni Yoichi had the intention to kill the nine pillars, he might have ended the battle in an instant."

After accepting the two major fighting forces, after a meeting of all the pillars, the proposal for enhanced training for the remaining Demon Slayer Corps began.

Oh, by the way, since the Forgedan Sword Village was destroyed, all the swordsmiths are temporarily living in this Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and forging Nichirin swords for the swordsmen.

Also, because Water Pillar Santo was injured too seriously and the poison had penetrated deep into his bones, requiring emergency surgery, he could no longer continue to serve as Water Pillar in the short term, so he gave his place to Giyu.

At Santu's insistence, Yiyong temporarily took on the title of Water Pillar.
