Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 323

Beside the mutilated male corpse, a young woman dressed in simple, blood-stained clothes, with long black hair tinged with red, was struggling to walk toward the little girl on the bed, letting out wild, bloodthirsty howls.

Not far from the young woman, a grotesque demon with long black hair trailing on the ground, a graceful upper body, and a muscular lower body with four legs, was watching with a sickly, excited, and expectant expression.

Every time the young woman got a little closer to the little girl on the bed, the sickly, excited, and expectant look on the alien ghost's face would intensify.

Strangely, the alien ghost didn't seem to notice Chen Anxia's arrival.

As the young woman approached, the little girl who had been crying on the wooden bed seemed to notice. She stood up, opened her arms to the young woman, and uttered in a childish, choked voice, "Mommy...hug..."

Chen Anxia, ​​who originally wanted to save the little girl, seemed to sense something at this moment. His body trembled slightly, and his hand holding the Nichirin Blade clenched tightly, with the veins on it bulging.

In Chen Anxia's eyes, the young woman, who had undoubtedly become a ghost, stopped moving after hearing the little girl's innocent words. Her body trembled as if she were struggling, and she let out a painful scream.

Chen Anxia clearly saw tears sliding down the young woman's cheeks, turning into glistening pearls under the moonlight.

Then, something even more insane happened.

The young woman, now a ghost, began frantically gnawing at her own hands and destroying her body.

He looked as if he wanted to kill himself.

Chen Anxia knew that it was the gradually obscured spiritual will of a mother within this body, which was doing its best to stop this body that wanted to kill its daughter in order to protect her.

This was the last thing she could do for her daughter.

But the little girl was too young to understand everything her mother had done for her. She just couldn't understand why her mother wouldn't hug her, and could only keep crying and asking her mother to hug her.

In response, the little girl was making her own efforts. Her tender body struggled to get out of bed, and with her small steps, she cried out as she resolutely walked towards her mother.

Seeing this, the monstrous creature's expression, previously one of sickly excitement and anticipation, gradually froze. Confusion and bewilderment filled its eyes as it muttered, "How could this be? This shouldn't be..."

As it spoke, the alien's expression gradually became violent and agitated, as if it had been provoked. Its long, trailing hair flew wildly, making it look like a madman, which was extremely terrifying.

As the little girl approached, the young woman who had become a ghost seemed unable to control her ghostly instincts any longer and reached out her hands towards the little girl once more.

Seeing this, the alien that was about to attack suppressed its urge and its face once again showed a sickly, excited, and expectant expression.

At the entrance of the wooden house, Chen Anxia's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this, but she made no move and simply watched silently.

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Anxia and the alien ghost, the young woman who had turned into a ghost reached out her trembling hands to the little girl's side.

But the young woman who had turned into a ghost did not harm the little girl. Instead, she gently embraced the little girl in her arms.

The little girl seemed to feel the warmth of her mother's embrace, and she stopped crying, falling asleep contentedly in the arms of the young woman who had become a ghost.

Not only the little girl, but the young woman who had been struggling and screaming in pain also quieted down, and a look of happiness appeared on her ferocious face.

Upon seeing this, the alien creature paused for a moment, then flew into a rage, its four thick legs slamming angrily into the ground with a deafening roar.

At the same time, her long, trailing hair flew through the air, transforming into countless black steel needles that relentlessly destroyed everything in the room, while she roared, "This is impossible! This is impossible..."

"Die! All of you, die!!"

As they spoke, the long hair that had been flying in the air inside the room all turned around and shot towards the mother and daughter who were embracing, as if they wanted to kill them on the spot.

At that very moment, the alien suddenly felt its vision spinning.

As its vision shifted, the alien ghost saw Chen Anxia, ​​who had appeared beside it at some point and was sheathing his sword.

At the same time, the alien demon also saw its own body turning into ashes.

At that moment, the alien creature realized the truth and muttered, "So, I'm going to die..."

As she spoke, memories of the past suddenly flooded her mind.

In that memory, the alien ghost saw itself as a human, and the happiness and joy it felt when it gave birth to its daughter.

Of course, it also saw itself as a ghost, uncontrollably devouring its daughter when she begged and cried for a hug from her mother.

In that scene, the helpless, painful, and confused cries of his daughter, and the horrific sight of her being devoured by him, kept echoing in the alien's mind.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

In its final moments, the alien creature couldn't help but gaze at the mother and daughter embracing each other, murmuring, "Ah, how I envy you..."

"How are you able to do that...?"

"Why would I eat my own daughter? Why would I make her suffer like that? She's the one I love most... Waaah..."

With its final cries, the alien creature turned to ashes and vanished into the world.

Chen Anxia saw and heard the alien's final outpouring of true feelings.

It was this final outpouring of genuine emotion that caused Chen Anxia to unconsciously clench her teeth and the veins on her forehead to throb.

At this moment, Chen Anxia felt the anger and sorrow in his heart spreading uncontrollably.

Finally, unable to contain his rage and grief, Chen Anxia suddenly slashed his sword to the side, roaring, "Kibutsuji Muzan, the source of this tragedy, I will... I will definitely kill you!!"

......

Chapter 487 A Special Ghost, Inheriting the Name of the Nation! (Please Subscribe!)

After slaying the alien demon, Chen Anxia turned his gaze to the mother and daughter embracing each other.

No, more accurately, they were looking at the ghost and the human child embracing each other.

The slight furrow in Chen Anxia's brow and the gentle trembling of the Nichirin Blade in her hand revealed the inner struggle within her.

Having read the original novel, Chen Anxia knew that the most correct choice at present was to kill the young woman who had become a ghost.

Because the young woman who turned into a ghost was no longer human, but a monster that fed on humans.

Although the young woman is now able to suppress her instincts and not harm her daughter when she was human.

But no one knows how long she can suppress it.

Perhaps in the next second, perhaps in the next moment, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps...

She could no longer suppress her demonic instincts and began to harm humans, even her own daughter when she was human.

However, the young woman's previous behavior, as well as the scene of mother and daughter embracing before her, made Chen Anxia hesitate.

The reason Chen Anxia hesitated was because, in the original work, the protagonist Tanjiro Kamado's sister Nezuko Kamado was able to suppress her demonic instincts with reason after becoming a demon, and fought alongside Tanjiro Kamado.

Even more surprisingly, Nezuko Kamado eventually turned back into a human.

However, Nezuko Kamado's situation is quite special; she was transformed into a cannibal by directly coming into contact with Muzan Kibutsuji's blood.

The blood of Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons, is naturally not comparable to that of the ordinary, four-legged, long-haired demon.

Thinking about it this way, it's quite incredible that the young woman was able to regain her maternal spirit and suppress her demonic instincts after being exposed to the blood of an ordinary alien demon.

It could be said that this young woman's situation was even more unique than that of Nezuko Kamado.

In the world of Demon Slayer, this is probably the only case so far.

So, what exactly is the reason?

Thinking about it, Chen Anxia couldn't help but activate his Analytical Eye (incomplete) and begin analyzing the data information of the young woman after she became a ghost.

Soon, the Eye of Analysis (not fully completed) returned the analyzed data to Chen Anxia.

Looking at the data information returned by the Eye of Analysis (incomplete), Chen Anxia's brows furrowed again.

Because the young woman's data was not much different from that of other ordinary cannibals, her overall physical qualities were only about twice that of an ordinary person.

At this moment, Chen Anxia sighed again, wishing the Eye of Analysis were the complete version.

Chen Anxia believed that if it were the complete version of the Eye of Analysis, it should be able to analyze more data and information, and obtain more insights from it.

Unable to figure it out, Chen Anxia didn't dwell on it and temporarily suppressed her doubts, intending to find the answer later.

With a soft sigh, Chen Anxia put away his Nichirin Blade.

Because of this young woman's unique circumstances, Chen Anxia was willing to give her a chance.

Of course, if Chen Anxia discovers in the future that this young woman has any intention of harming humans, he will not hesitate to kill her.

As for now...

Just as Chen Anxia made her decision, the first rays of dawn of the new day shone on the earth and shone into the dilapidated wooden house from all sides, also shining on the young woman who had become a ghost.

Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed urgently, "Oh no, I completely forgot the time..."

As he spoke, Chen Anxia wanted to use his full speed to take the young woman who had become a ghost to a place without the sun.

Chen Anxia could only pray that the young woman who had become a ghost could endure the sunlight for a few more seconds, otherwise...

Thinking this, Chen Anxia seemed to realize something, and his deep eyes stared intently at the young woman.

Immediately, Chen Anxia's pupils contracted sharply, and she trembled violently, exclaiming in disbelief, "How could this be? She's actually immune to sunlight?!"

In Chen Anxia's eyes, the sunlight had clearly shone on the young woman who had turned into a ghost, but she remained unmoved, quietly holding her daughter, her body showing no abnormality whatsoever.

This scene seemed utterly unbelievable to Chen Anxia, ​​who had read the original novel.

Chen Anxia knew that even Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons, was not immune to sunlight and would turn to ashes under direct sunlight.

Therefore, in order to eliminate his fear that sunlight might take his life, and in order to become the strongest monster who is immortal, Muzan Kibutsuji has been searching for the Blue Spider Lily, which can help him overcome his weakness to sunlight.

Suddenly, Chen Anxia remembered that in the later part of the original work, Nezuko Kamado, who had become a demon, also overcame her weakness to sunlight and became the only demon to overcome it.

Thinking it over, Chen Anxia took a deep look at the young woman bathed in sunlight, secretly wondering, 'Could it be that she and Nezuko Kamado share some kind of commonality...?'

Now that he knew the young woman who had become a ghost was immune to sunlight, Chen Anxia stopped taking action and simply stood there silently, closing his eyes to rest.

Because the future is unpredictable, Chen Anxia plans to give them more time to fully enjoy what may be their last embrace.

Of course, although Chen Anxia was resting with his eyes closed, his senses were perceiving everything around him through the Transparent World.

If Chen Anxia senses any unusual movement from the young woman who has become a ghost, he will not hesitate to cut off her head.

Chen Anxia has now begun to try to open up the transparent world at all times.

Because opening the Transparent World consumes a great deal of mental energy, even if Chen Anxia wanted to keep the Transparent World open at all times, it would not be an easy task.

The reason the alien ghost couldn't detect Chen Anxia when he arrived at the cabin yesterday was because Chen Anxia activated the Transparent World and eliminated his aura.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the little girl who had been sleeping in the arms of the young woman who had become a ghost slowly woke up.

Upon waking, the little girl looked at her mother with a very affectionate expression, babbling incoherently, "Hungry...Mommy...Hungry..."

Upon seeing this, the young woman who had become a ghost showed pain and struggle on her previously serene face, and the veins on her body bulged, as if a demon had been resurrected, with a look of savagery and bloodlust flashing in her eyes.

Through his super-sensory perception of the transparent world, Chen Anxia sensed this scene and quietly tightened his grip on the Nichirin Blade.
