Chapter 075
“Can the evil spirit be tracked based on its smell?”
Su Mu looked at Tanjiro and asked calmly
“able.”
Tanjiro touched his nose with his hand and spoke firmly. He had probably guessed what his uncle meant, and he felt excited.
Although there might be dangers, he was fearless.
“Okay, Tanjiro, let’s find that evil spirit.”
Su Mu patted his shoulders, raised his head, and looked at the gentle sunshine. Even the ghost Wu Tsuji Mumei couldn’t bathe in the sunshine, let alone an evil ghost who wasn’t even the Twelve Ghost Moon. As long as he could shine in the daytime Find the traces of evil spirits hiding there. There are many ways to deal with evil spirits.
“It’s all up to you, Tanjiro.”
Tanjiro took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt as if a lot of weight had suddenly fallen on his shoulders, heavy, but a passion that he had never experienced before emerged in his heart, and a powerful force lingered in his heart, making Tanjiro I felt that my whole body was full of strength.
I closed my eyes slightly.
In the past, Tanjiro relied on his sensitive nose to never get lost in the mountains.
His breath was slightly moving, and the surrounding smells lingered on the tip of his nose.
Human, animal, and plant…. Various smells were entangled, and what he had to do was to find the smell of the evil ghost.
Following the smell, he started to move. The boy was like a hound, jumping up the wall for a while, and then came to the road. A corner, or holding up a piece of soil on the ground and sniffing it at the tip of his nose.
Su Mu silently followed Tanjiro.
Soon, Tanjiro followed the smell and came to an abandoned courtyard.
Perhaps because it had been abandoned for too long, the courtyard It looked mottled, and there were lush weeds growing around it.
Su Mu was no stranger to this place. It was the place where he found traces of ghosts when he first came to this town. The cruel scene in the house at that time, even now , still can’t forget
“Uncle, the smell ends here.”
Tanjiro turned back and looked at the deserted courtyard in front of him.
Su Mu nodded, his eyes fell on the deserted courtyard, and he also pulled out the Nichirin sword. The bright blade reflected the cold light under the sunlight.
Su Mu held it tightly Holding the hilt of the knife, he walked towards the courtyard. Although it was impossible for evil spirits to appear during the day, he was still very cautious so that if anything happened, he could react immediately. Entering the courtyard, he could vaguely smell the mixture. There was a faint stench.
Su Mu led Tanjiro into the room cautiously and entered the place where he had been before.
A rotting corpse was still lying quietly on the bed, with the delicate flesh that had been peeled off from elsewhere sticking to the surface of the corpse. However, due to the lack of nourishment from the body, these skins as delicate as girls have begun to emit a putrid smell at this moment.
The room is covered with gnawed bones.
Even if I have seen it once, the cruel sight in front of me still makes me sad. A feeling of discomfort in the chest and abdomen
“The smell is completely gone by this point.”
Tanjiro pointed to the rotting corpse lying on the bed.
“Check around first.”
Su Mu whispered, and at the same time, he told:”During the inspection, do not stay in any place where the sun cannot shine.”
“clear.”
Tanjiro nodded.
The two began to search carefully, covering almost every corner.
But unfortunately, there were no secret passages or cellars in or around the courtyard. After searching for a long time, they could not find the evil ghost hiding at all. place
“Uncle, not found.”
Tanjiro told the results of the search, feeling slightly disappointed.
Su Mu was also silent. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the old man’s rotting corpse on the bed.
In the whole room, only the old man’s body was intact, and the others were intact. Almost all the dead bones had traces of being eaten.
Even the surface of the old man’s rotting corpse was covered with the delicate skin of the girl.
Before, neither he nor Imada Yuna, who had come here, paid much attention to these, and just put them All this is attributed to the cruelty of evil ghosts and their bloodthirsty hobbies.
But at this moment, Su Mu suddenly remembered that not all evil ghosts are evil ghosts at the beginning. He was once a human, but after becoming an evil ghost, his human memory began to become blurred. Coupled with the evil ghost’s instinctive desire for human flesh and blood, these evil ghosts began to feed on humans. However, even if they become evil ghosts, They have become inhuman creatures, but the traces of their former human status are not necessarily completely eliminated.
They will habitually retain the habits of their former human beings.
He thought of the owner of this room, a blind man who has disappeared. A blind old woman and a child with disabled legs.
Now, the person lying on the bed is most likely the blind old woman. If so, what about the child with disabled legs?
If it is the child with disabled legs When you become a ghost, will you still follow the habits you once had as a human? Are there things that you valued most as a human that you still value after becoming a ghost?
“The smell completely disappears here, right?”
Su Mu turned around, looked at Tanjiro again, and pointed at the rotting corpse on the bed.
“It’s here that the smell completely disappears.”
Tanjiro nodded.
After hearing Tanjiro’s confirmation, Su Mu also tightened his grip on the Nichirin sword and approached carefully.
When he reached the bed, resisting the stench from the corpse, he carefully used the Nichirin sword to kill the old woman. The body of the old woman was pushed away.
As the body of the old woman was pushed away, his eyes fell on the bed board.
It could be clearly seen that the dust on the bed board was obviously much less than that of the surroundings, and it was even very clean.
Obviously. , this is not very conventional. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Unless…
Without any hesitation, Su Mu immediately pushed away the rigid board, and a dark hole appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.
“The smell of evil spirits is in it. Tanjiro sniffed, his face looked happy, and he couldn’t help but move forward.
Su Mu pulled Tanjiro to prevent him from getting closer.
He glanced at the dark hole, raised his head, and looked above to block the sun. On the eaves of the house, his body suddenly jumped up, and the Nichirin sword in his hand slashed out, hitting the roof with one strike.
“boom……”
The roof shattered, warm sunlight also fell into the room, and large swaths of sunlight fell into the dark hole.
But the cave entrance is obviously very deep, and the sunlight cannot cover all the locations inside the cave entrance.
Su Mu held the knife and kept slashing around the entrance of the cave, constantly expanding the position of the entrance. As the entrance of the cave continued to expand, the area covered by the sunlight in the cave also continued to expand.
The only pity is that there is a corner at the entrance of the cave. No matter how we expand the entrance, we can’t let the sunlight fall there.
“You stay here, I’ll go down and take a look.”
Su Mu said to Tanjiro next to him
“Uncle, I’d better go down. Tanjiro said
“Need not.”
He waved his hand, and without waiting for what Tanjiro was saying, he immediately jumped down from the hole.
The hole was very deep, but he still landed quickly.
As soon as he fell to the ground, Su Mu held the Nichirin sword tightly and guarded the surroundings with the sword.
He raised it. Eyes, the surroundings were dark, and a creature with a thin outline was hidden deep in the darkness and pressed against the wall. What came into view was the bloodthirsty and cruel eyes. Suddenly being paired with such eyes,
Su Mu was also nervous.
But immediately, Thinking of something, he relaxed slightly.
He looked up.
The warm sunshine fell on him along the entrance of the cave.
“Roar……”
The evil spirit let out a low roar, seeming to intimidate the humans who barged in rashly.
Seeing this scene, Su Mu laughed silently.
The evil ghost in front of him clearly wanted to attack him. He even wanted to step forward immediately and tear his body apart.
But the body didn’t dare to come close at all.
No matter how powerful the evil ghost is, he is afraid of the sun.
As long as they are under the sun, evil spirits will not dare to act recklessly
