Chapter 088
Under the moonlit night, it was pitch black in Yamabuki Town.
Only the lights lit by some people in the town and the faint moonlight can provide some light.
Because the Ditang flower is common here, a yellow flower that symbolizes the arrival of spring and the vibrant scene~.
In this country, Ditang flower is called mountain blowing again.
Therefore, the town was named Yamabuki-jo.
Whenever spring comes, Ditang flowers bloom, and the whole town seems to be submerged in a golden ocean. The fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, attracting countless tourists to come and watch. Children play and play among the flowers, and adults take priority to stroll among them. , enjoy the rare tranquility and beauty.
Usually, Shanchui City is always very prosperous and lively at this time.
However, the recent frequent cases of missing adults and children have cast a shadow over this originally prosperous and lively town, making the residents of Shanchui City panic-stricken and no longer dare to go out at will at night.
When they arrived at Yamabuki City, Su Mu separated from Lintaki Sakon for the first time, agreeing to send a signal immediately if they found any trace of the evil ghost.
Naturally, Su Mu would not object, so he took Tanjiro around the town, looking for him.
The road at night is not easy to walk, and the streets are also quiet. There is almost no one in sight. The occasional barking of a dog quickly disappears into the night.
Most people would be scared out of their wits when walking in such a quiet night, but Su Mu had no expression on his face and held the handle of the knife tightly. The sun-wheel knife had already been unsheathed. Whenever there were evil spirits around, he would be able to kill them immediately. Ghost harm.
Tanjiro was also holding a Nichirin sword in his hand at this moment. This was the Nichirin sword that previously belonged to Imada Yuna. When they buried Imada Yuna’s body, this Nichirin sword was brought back by them.
Yamabuki Castle seemed very quiet today. When Su Mu was walking with Tanjiro, he rarely heard people talking.
While passing by a street corner, Su Mu suddenly stopped and vaguely heard some conversations.
Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and brought Tanjiro closer.
In a luxurious doorway, two people were standing under the gauze lamp in front of the door talking.
Logically speaking, the two people talking were not evil spirits, so he did not need to pay attention. The reason for this was that the child was mentioned in the conversation, which attracted his attention and made him decide to stop and observe.
“These people have become more and more careful recently. It is not easy to abduct children.”
“yes! And the government also started to investigate”
“Otherwise, let’s get close”
“If you are willing to give up, a child is worth a lot of money. Having one more child will keep us happy for a while.”
“I heard that many people have disappeared in this town recently. Some people say that it was caused by evil spirits.”
“Hey… there are no evil spirits in this world. Don’t scare yourself.”
…………
Su Mu eavesdropped for a while and roughly understood the situation. The two people in front of him should be human traffickers.
Moreover, the recent frequent disappearance of children in Yamabuki City is caused by these human traffickers.
In other words, the appearance of evil spirits in this town may be just an intelligence error.
“hateful……”
Next to him, Tanjiro gritted his teeth after roughly listening.
“who?”
Su Mu was thinking about whether there are evil spirits in this town. The two people discussing in front of the door turned their heads and stared in the direction where they were.
However, because Su Mu and Tanjiro were in the dark, With their backs against the wall again, the two of them did not notice their figures immediately.
It was probably just the slight movement of Tanjiro that aroused their alertness.
Both of them took out the knives from their waists and approached here.
Tanjiro Jiro held the handle of the knife tightly with his hand, raised his eyes and looked at his uncle
“Kill them.”
Su Mu said calmly
“But… they are human beings, not evil spirits.”
Tanjiro hesitated.
“Clang!”
There was a soft cry, and the snow-like blade was unsheathed. The two people who were walking over on guard felt their hearts tighten.
“Click!”
The next moment, there was the sound of the blade slicing the neck, and the blood sprayed from the lost head dyed the wall next to it blood red. After killing one person, Su Mu also turned around, and Tanjiro had already hit the knife in the other person’s hand. It stands to reason that Tanjiro has the ability to end the other person’s life at this moment.
But Tanjiro has never been able to make up his mind to actually end the other person’s life.
“Kill him.”
Su Mu stood aside with a low voice, not intending to intervene.
Tanjiro’s hand holding the knife had blue veins, but he was unable to make the last step.
“Go to hell……”
As if he could see the boy’s confusion, the man’s eyes showed a hint of viciousness. He suddenly moved forward and got close to Tanjiro. At the same time, he took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed Tanjiro in the chest.
“killed.”
A loud shout rang in Tanjiro’s ears.
Probably because of the habit he had developed by obeying his uncle’s orders in the past, Tanjiro originally slashed forward with the Nichirin Sword.
“Pfft.”
The sharp blade split the man’s head in half, and red blood and white brains spurted out, splashing onto Tanjiro’s face. The scarlet blood covered the dead man’s ferocious face, with an unwilling look in his eyes. Finally fell down slowly
“I…killed someone.”
Tanjiro looked at the man who died under his sword, his eyes dull.
“Why, soft-hearted.”(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Su Mu came over and wiped off the plasma on Tanjiro’s face with his hands
“I…I…I killed someone, uncle”
“Uncle, I will kill.”
Tanjiro raised his head and murmured to himself, as if he couldn’t accept it.
“so what?”
Su Mu replied calmly.
“Uncle, he…he is not a ghost, he is a human being. What I killed was a human being.”
Tanjiro said to himself. Obviously, killing someone for the first time was quite a shock to this young man. He even couldn’t get out of it at the first time.
“What about people?”
Su Mu replied calmly:
“Could it be that if you don’t kill him, he won’t kill you?”
“Is your life important or the lives of others?”
He patted Tanjiro on the shoulder:
“What’s more, how is such a scum different from a ghost?”
Tanjiro stood there blankly.
“Think about it.”
Su Mu patted Tanjiro hard on the shoulder, then turned around and walked into the luxurious room behind the two of them. Soon, screams came.
Tanjiro was startled and hurriedly followed.
Entering the door, What caught his eyes were the corpses of several men, all killed with one knife.
Obviously, they were all done by his uncle.
The blood stained the ground red. Tanjiro stepped on it, and his heart was shaking violently. The death of so many people, He didn’t die from evil spirits, but from humans.
The expressions of human death were frozen in the last moment, with horror, despair, and unwillingness…
At this moment, there was a feeling of vomiting in his chest and abdomen, but he held it back with force. Got it
“uncle……”
Tanjiro murmured in a low voice and walked a few steps quickly. Soon, he saw his uncle.
At this moment, Su Mu had just opened the key to a house door.
In the house, more than a dozen children were kept in a small cage like goods, and many of the children had marks of whip marks on their bodies.
These are the children who have gone missing in the town recently.
The missing children are not the work of evil spirits, but are from the same kind. These people are murdering fellow humans for their own personal gain.
This made Tanjiro clenched his fist slightly.
“Some people are more damned than ghosts.”
Su Mu turned around, his eyes met with Tanjiro’s, and he said calmly:
“Tanjiro, I don’t want you to be so indecisive next time”
