At night, in a dark alley in a town somewhere.
There was a man in gorgeous clothes, trembling, panicking, kneeling there in fear, and he was still begging for mercy.
Who was he begging for mercy?
Hori Gaku stood in front of him about ten meters away, looking at the man with a cold face.
To be precise, he was looking at the woman next to the man.
The woman was also dressed gorgeously, but she was lying on the ground at this time, her neck was bloody and it seemed that she had been half eaten, deader than dead.
And the man who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy had blood all over his mouth.
What happened was self-evident.
The man knelt on the ground, begging for mercy to Hori Gaku in the distance, his voice miserable:
"I was wrong! I won't do it again! Please forgive me this time! Please!"
Horitake still had no expression on his face, just looking at him coldly.
""Spare me! Spare me! Please spare me! I will change! I will... kill you too!"
Suddenly, the man showed his vicious side, transformed into a demon, rushed towards Hori Gaku, and attacked him viciously, wanting to tear him into pieces!
With a light sigh, Hori Gaku took a step forward.
As he took a step forward, he stretched out the index finger of his right hand, with a purple arc flashing at the tip of his index finger, and gently drew it to the front and side! With this step, Hori Gaku stepped out and stood on the ground, and the purple arc between his index fingers disappeared.
Where is the demon just now?
The demon stopped to the side behind Hori Gaku, his whole body stiff, convulsing, staring at him with a pair of big eyes that were about to bulge out like light bulbs, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Suddenly, the demon's head just disappeared without any signs. The demon fell to the ground.
Because the fracture surface of the neck was extremely smooth, the head of this demon fell off naturally.
The demon's body and head were left with only the strength of a spasm, and soon he began to turn into ashes.
This shows that Hori Gaku's strength has grown to a new level.
Before, in order to kill these ordinary little demons, Hori Gaku had to smash their heads with a palm flashing with lightning, or he had to use the unsheathed Wei Guang to cut them off directly.
Now, he doesn't even need to use the Wei Guang on his waist. He can kill demons easily with just one finger and a flash of electricity.
After the demon was completely turned into ashes, Hori Gaku stood there and shook his head helplessly:
"It's true that a dog can't change its eating habits. It's better to expect me to change to a vegetarian diet than to expect you ghosts to stop eating people!
After all, the only ghosts in the world who really don't eat people are Nezuko and the other three.……"
At this moment, a raven flew over from the darkness, flapping its wings and shouting new intelligence instructions:
"Lord Horitake! Lord Horitake!
There is new information about ghosts! There is new information about ghosts!
Please go to the northern mountains! Please go to the northern mountains! According to the hunters in the northern mountains, man-eating bears have appeared in the mountains recently!"
Horitake stood where he was and looked at the sky calmly.
Because of the dark clouds, neither the moonlight nor the starlight could be seen, and the sky was just pitch black.
"How can we be sure that it is a ghost?
It is winter now, and wild animals cannot find food. When they encounter humans in the mountains, they are so hungry that they have no choice but to eat humans. This is also reasonable.
If I remember correctly, several people in Japan are eaten by bears every year."
The crow landed on the eaves next to him and explained to Horitake in a hoarse voice:
"According to hunters in the mountains, the man-eating bear has eaten more than a dozen people! And the number of casualties is still increasing! In this season, bears should go into hibernation after eating a few people, but they are still hurting people. Obviously, the situation is not normal.
Please ask Lord Horitake to go to the northern mountains to check."
Horitake nodded:
"Did he eat more than a dozen people?
That being said, it is indeed not normal.
Okay, I'll go to the Northern Mountains to take a look."
As he said that, Hori Gaku was about to set off.
Suddenly, Hori Gaku had an idea and felt that this mission was familiar.
Wait! This feeling of déjà vu... Could it be that I encountered the original plot?
That's not right. According to the time, Tanjiro should still be training in Kyogiri Mountain at this time. There is no plot at all, and it appears in this time period!
But there are man-eating bears in the Northern Mountains, which clearly give me an extremely similar feeling.
Never mind, let's rush to the Northern Mountains first. I believe everything will be clear when we get there. Hori
Gaku followed the instructions of the Crow and began to rush to the Northern Mountains.
The Northern Mountains, as the name suggests, is an endless mountain range in the north of Neon.
And because it is winter, the climate here is cold. It was cold, and the entire mountain range was covered with heavy snow.
It was snowy, it was in the north, and it was winter. It was still not certain whether this place was actually Hokkaido.
Horitake hurried on his way, and before setting foot on the snowy mountain, he deliberately changed into thicker clothes.
After preparing warm-keeping measures, Horitake climbed the snowy mountain directly and went into the dense forest of the bare snowfield without leaves. After walking for a long time during the day, moving forward in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Horitake could not help but observe the situation of the mountain range.
It was indeed very cold, and the snow was indeed not small.
In this environment, creatures like bears would most likely hibernate.
Occasionally they would wake up, come out hungry to look for food and hurt people, but not many people would be hurt. Normally speaking It is not possible to reach more than a dozen lives.
I heard from the crow before that the man-eating bear here has eaten more than a dozen people. It seems that it must be a ghost. After walking in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Horitake couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and no sunlight could penetrate. It seemed that it was going to snow again. In this kind of ghost weather, it would not be strange even if there were ghosts moving during the day, because there was no sunlight at all.
Wait a minute!
Horitake suddenly remembered something.
At the beginning of the story, Tanjiro came home from burning charcoal and found that his family had been killed and Nezuko had turned into a ghost.
That day, it seemed to be daytime, and it seemed to be covered with snow, and it seemed to be in the mountains!
Could it be...
Could it be that Tanjiro's home is in this northern mountain range!
This kind of thing It's not impossible!
After having this idea, many more thoughts came to Hori Gaku.
One of the most important thoughts was about the blue spider lily!
In his previous life, Hori Gaku had seen two theories about the blue spider lily on the Internet.
The first one was what Hori Gaku and Tanjiro's family had mentioned before. The blue spider lily came from Tanjiro's mother's hometown. Tanjiro's mother mixed it with wild vegetables, brought it home, and cooked it for her family to eat.
There is another theory, which is even more straightforward.
This theory shows that the blue spider lily simply grows near Tanjiro's home.
Tanjiro and Nezuko, the brother and sister, may have accidentally eaten the blue spider lily when they were playing near their home when they were young.
