Chapter 55
"An unknown part of the world?"
Tanjiro muttered, with a little doubt in his eyes.
"Yes, what I'm going to tell you is the truth about the world."
Su Mu's tone gradually became heavy
"The world is not as stable as it seems, but there is a kind of 'ghost' creature, and whenever night falls, evil spirits will haunt and take people's lives."
"Ghost..."
Tanjiro exclaimed, in disbelief.
Although he had heard a lot of stories, and even in the depths of his memory, his grandmother had held him to tell him about ghosts, but from beginning to end, he did not believe that there was such a creature as evil ghosts in this world.
"Don't you want to believe it?"
Looking at Tanjiro's expression at the moment, Su Mu did continue to speak:
"While you may not be willing to believe it, ... Ghosts do exist, and when I left a few days ago, I went ghost hunting. "
Tanjiro raised his head and looked at his uncle, trying to see from his uncle's eyes that none of this was true.
All this is what his uncle is teasing him and scaring him.
But what I saw was Su Mu's serious expression.
It's not at all like a post-scare, teasing him.
"Are there really ghosts in this world?"
Tanjiro couldn't help but ask again, for Tanjiro, he had never seen such a creature as an oni, but just by the word 'oni', he could feel the horror of this creature.
"Yes, it's real, and, these days, I have also done some verification of your Stove Gate family, and found some clues about your Stove Gate family related to ghosts."
When Tanjiro heard this, he pricked up his ears even more.
"For example, the 'Fire God Kagura' dance that has been performed by the Kamado family for generations contains the practice of 'Breath of the Sun', and this breath comes from a person who even feels the fear of ghosts, and is taught to the ancestors of Kamato by a person called 'Jikokuenichi'..."
"It can be said that the Kamado family is the inheritor of the will of 'Jikokuenichi', especially the Nikula flower earrings worn by Tanjiro, which are left by Jikokuenichi'..."
..................
After listening to his uncle's explanation, Tanjiro showed a look of disbelief, he couldn't believe that the Zaomen family, who had been selling charcoal for generations and had been living a peaceful life in the mountains, would have such a history.
After a while, Tanjiro barely recovered from the shock, and he looked up and looked at his uncle: "Uncle, if we don't provoke those evil ghosts, perhaps, we will never encounter ghosts in our lifetime, just like the ancestors of the Kamato family for generations, they have been living an ordinary and peaceful life in the mountains. "
"Perhaps, it is possible that you will never encounter a ghost in your life, but what if you encounter it one day?"
"In case I come across ..."
Tanjiro was a little overwhelmed.
"In case an evil spirit, a man-eating evil ghost breaks into the house, at that time, what should you do, your gentle mother, lovely sister, and naughty brother will all be eaten by ghosts..."
"Never allowed."
Tanjiro clenched his fists, his face was already a little pale, for Tanjiro, his mother, brother, and sister were the most important people to him, and no matter what, he didn't want his family to be hurt.
Looking at Tanjiro, whose face was pale, Su Mu also continued: "This is also the reason why I have been working hard, I don't want that if one day, I encounter an evil ghost, I will be eaten without resistance." "
"That's why I work hard every day, not because I like it so much, but because I need to become stronger, and only when I become stronger, can I control the right to kill and kill."
At this moment, he also thought of the tragic ending of Tanjiro's family in the anime, and he couldn't help patting Tanjiro's shoulder with his hand: "You must not let others grasp the right to kill and kill, and when life and death are at stake, the weak who can't even grasp the dominance can only be slaughtered by others." "
Because, the weak, there is no choice at all.
There is only one destination
That's it
Trampled under the feet of the strong.
