Many things about my childhood have been forgotten.Not to mention every word my parents said, I can only remember the general meaning at most, and I probably know what I should say.But there is only one sentence that Oda Sakunosuke still remembers clearly.

Before her mother died, she once said to herself, "Xiaozuo, live well, even if you are alone, even if you are alone for a lifetime, if you live with integrity and kindness, the gods will definitely bless you."

Not so, if gods really protect kind people, then his parents would not die.

Oda once thought that if he really saw his parents, he would be very ashamed, he would not be able to hold his head up, and he would be disgusted.

Because he didn't live well, and because his hands were already stained with blood.

Parents will definitely not want to recognize him.

But it doesn't matter, as long as they can live, even if it is at the cost of his own life, he doesn't care.

Tired left very early and did not stay long.When the Demon Slayer Squad started to deploy at the foot of the mountain, he had already heard the wind, and before leaving, he said that he would not release the water, and told Oda to leave quickly.

(I see.)

"I get it" doesn't mean yes.

Oda will try his best to stop and minimize the damage.

When going down the mountain.Oda and the front-line swordsman converged. The highest level of the front-line swordsman was C-level. In my impression, it was because he didn't realize that the target of the siege was too powerful, so a large number of casualties were caused. Afterwards, the post was notified through the crow— ——Mizuzu Tomioka Yoshiyuki and Chongzhu Butterfly Shinobu, and then Oda, the captain of the hidden department, also received the news.

Oda usually keeps in touch with swordsmen above grade C.In addition, the higher the level, the fewer the number of swordsmen, so Oda basically remembered who all the swordsmen above the C level were.Of course, many people have seen Oda and remembered his identity.

Oda came to inform that there were Twelve Ghost Moons here, and asked Zhu and the others to guard first, but don't touch the youngest child.

Generally, the ghost killing team will not choose the daytime that is the most unfavorable to ghosts for their siege activities.

the reason is simple.

First, I don't want ordinary people to know about this, and I don't want to expose the fact of ghosts, and their weapons to kill ghosts are prohibited.In the ninth year of Meiji, the abolition of swords had been implemented. If swords were brought out in broad daylight, the ghost killing teams of non-government departments would definitely encounter trouble.The daytime is the busiest time for people to come and go, and there are many people.

Second, it is precisely because ghosts are afraid of the sun that they hide very deep during the day, and it is not so easy to lure them out, and the places they hide are either deep caves or caves, where there is no sunlight, so it is difficult to encircle and suppress them during the day very high.They are more active only at night.

Generally, a ghost does not eat much, and it usually suffices to eat two or three people a month.

According to Lei, although he didn't mention how many ghosts there are in Natian Spider Mountain, he also said that they don't go down the mountain often.It shows that there is no "big food" - a ghost that eats a lot.In this way, walking around the mountain for the past two days, Oda judged from various traces, including footprints and food remnants, that there were about five ghosts here. There were two female ghosts with different footprints, and one ghost. A huge ghost, a non-human animal, like a spider, but about the size of an adult, I don't know if it exists as a pet, or what.In addition, the smallest is tired.

Tired is the youngest, but he speaks clearly, logically, and possesses a certain amount of vampirism, so those who are older than him should be superior to him.

"Before Zhu comes, all of you should use the aroma of wisteria flowers to fumigate your body first."

When Oda went to the city, he didn't see the wisteria perfume, so he found time to tell the lord about it.

The C-level squad leader raised an objection: "In this case, those ghosts will run away immediately when they smell us. How do we strangle the ghosts?"

"Today's ghosts are not easy for you to deal with. Every one has blood ghost skills, but you are the only one above level C. It is too much trouble to go back and prepare, but I have a plan." Oda looked at the lush hills, Said, "Have you ever caught a bat?"

"???"

Not only the team leader was stunned, but also other people who heard it were also confused.

"Bats like to burrow into holes, throw a shoe in the night sky and they'll go in."

(So, so what?)

Everyone looked at Oda Sakunosuke, who was 1.7 meters tall, as if they were looking at the cliff soaring into the clouds, and they didn't know where the top was, with a dull expression on their faces.At this time, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly touched his pocket, and his expression changed instantly.The captain of the swordsman squad, who grasped this instantaneous change, immediately became nervous.

"what happened?"

Oda picked up his backpack and went out directly: "I forgot to bring the aromatherapy, let's leave first."

As soon as he moved, the others panicked too.

"Wait, wait, Captain Oda, you haven't mentioned any plans yet?"

Oda looked up and thought for a while: "There is still some time before night, where do you go to play first, relax, eat and drink enough, and do some warm-up exercises when it is approaching dusk."

"Come on, Captain Oda!"

You might as well let us run five laps around the foot of the mountain!

It's a bit of a joke, isn't it?

Oda didn't know why the swordsman captain was dissatisfied with this suggestion: "Then you want to run five laps at the foot of the mountain? Temporary exercise? But if you run at night, you don't even have the strength to hold a sword."

Everyone, including the swordsman captain, immediately responded: "No!"

Just kidding.Exercising is a matter of accumulated accumulation, how can you hold on to the Buddha's feet temporarily?I'm afraid I won't have the strength to kill ghosts at night.

"Come back early, we will wait for you at the foot of the mountain."

Oda didn't look back, and waved his hand to show he understood.

After watching Oda go away, the Demon Slayer Squad suddenly fell into a strange silence.A voice sounded. "Well, Captain Oda, isn't he "hidden"?Why did we all listen to him? "

(That’s right, Captain Oda isn’t Zhuru either…)

"..."

The swordsman captain also reacted.

"Are we still listening to him?"

The captain felt that Oda must have an idea.

"Listen, send the crow to deliver the letter first, and ask Zhu to help. Then we should eat and drink. If we meet Onizuki, I don't know if today's meal will be the last meal. Oda Perhaps the captain wanted to express this meaning, what we met was Twelve Ghost Moons!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

*****

Tired felt that his heart was firmly held in the hands like a baby bird, and the blood vessels in his body seemed to be connected to the tangled root system in the ground, but when the heart was lifted, the blood vessels were all kind of involved pain.

This is the warning of Master Wu Mi.

One of Lord Wu Mi's vampire techniques can also be called a curse.

When he gave his blood to other people, he also put a spell on their bodies.He can read their thoughts and know their location at any time.And ghosts who leak information about Wu Mi will be cursed to death.

Tired of recognizing my duty.

Because he was afraid that Wu Mi would read more thoughts, he decided to leave Oda.

His "big family" is still waiting for him to go back.

Sometimes, Tired feels like he is lying on a spider's web, not knowing whether he is the spider that is hunting or the prey that is bound tightly by the spider's silk.

When he was very young, when he was still a human, his body was very bad.

This is a discomfort that healthy people cannot experience. Even walking is painful and tormented as if you are fighting someone to the death, as if living is equivalent to struggling under the feet of the god of death.During these days, the only consolation he could get from suffering from illness was the love from his parents.Relying on their love and care, Lei worked hard to persevere.Perhaps because of illness and the necessity of this love, Tired likes to listen to stories about family love very much.

One of his favorite stories is that of a father who dies trying to save his son from drowning in a river.

He was shocked that love can reach such a level.

Day after day, his tired body did not recover until he met Master Wu Mi.

Master Wu Mi gave him blood, so that he no longer has to endure the pain of illness, he can stand up and run, he can help his parents with things, he can study, he can sing, he can play by himself like the children he saw before Taiga drama "Mito Yellow Gate".But the problem is that he can no longer appear in the sun, and the food he usually eats is not only unappealing, but also feels extremely disgusting if he barely eats it.

He began to find that people have a fatal attraction for him.

Seeing the blood dripping down, he felt his throat itching, and a cat scratching his heart.

He felt so hungry that he was so hungry that his head was dizzy and he was almost unconscious.When he came back to his senses, his hands and mouth were covered with bloody mutilated limbs.Even though he was still young, he knew that he had done something wrong and should not be known by his parents.At first I was able to hide it, but after all, children's lies were no match for adults' eyes, and they were quickly discovered.

At that time, I was tired and found that I had lost the love of my parents.

He was locked up and not allowed to go outside, but he was still able to kill the servants easily.

Tired still remembered that night, the weather was fine, Yueming Yunshu, he was lying under the quilt, his face was covered by the shadow of his father holding a knife.

My father shed a lot of tears, which fell on the clothes like broken beads.The mother tightly covered her mouth, not wanting her sobs to shake the father who raised the knife. The sleeping child just sat on one side and did not stop the father's actions at all.

But he woke up tired, and for a moment he thought about the stories about the loving father and mother.

Why are they unwilling to continue to protect themselves?

"Tired, we can no longer watch you continue to kill innocent people indiscriminately. After I kill you, I will be with your mother..." To accompany you.

Before my father finished speaking, he raised his tired hand.

He became so strong, so strong that his father's body was as fragile as thin paper to him, and could be broken with one blow.Her mother's screams exploded in her ears, and she rushed forward.

Tired parents were killed by him because his anger dominated his reason.He also didn't expect that his power would be so great, that a human life would be taken away as easily as an ant that would be trampled to death if not careful.My mother said something before she died, which Lei has remembered until now.

"I'm sorry, I'm tired, I didn't give you a strong body, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

That day I was tired and wanted to leave with my parents, and wanted to apologize with death.

But Master Wu Mi came to his side again and told him that it was not him who was wrong, but that his parents didn't trust him, they didn't fully tolerate him, and his strength itself was no longer suitable for such a native family.

Later, I was tired and went to Natian Spider Mountain to form a new family, and sealed that memory in the deepest part of my heart.

Tired always thought he had forgotten it, but after meeting Oda, he opened this taboo memory box again.

"He is so kind to himself, even if he is a ghost, he is willing to accept it."

This realization made Tired feel uncomfortable.

It's not that it is compared to his parents' past behavior, but it makes him miss his parents terribly and wants to say sorry to them.

……

"Father" found that the tired spirit was not in the state, and reminded: "Tired, what do you plan to do with the group of ghost killers? They are surrounded by the foot of the mountain." "I found it during the inspection. He was nimble and hid in a dark tree. He saw different people coming from different directions. The sun wheel knife wrapped tightly in the cloth exuded their disgust.

"Kill it."

A tired voice sounded, and he closed his eyes and said lightly.

As long as Oda sees himself killing people, he will leave in a good way.If you stay longer, Oda may be targeted by Mr. Wu Mi.His blood is thin blood, Lord Wu Mi will not let it go easily.This world is already very boring. Without him, I will be tired and uncomfortable, and living like this will be even more uncomfortable.

The other ghosts looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why Tired showed such an expression.

There was a little fragile look on his usually inhumane face.

Is it related to that human?

They start to associate more.

However, the tired voice didn't end: "If they didn't die, you would have to die here tonight."

A tired and stern voice sounded, and the ghost present couldn't help but tremble, and quickly agreed.

Night is the night when the wind howls.

"Father", "Mom", "Brother" and "Sister" were all scattered around to defend the corner of the mountain. I don't know how the battle is going, but in the end they "died". hand.

Tired and grown up.

He felt that he had grown up and didn't need his family anymore.

***

The ghosts of Natian Spider Mountain encountered an extremely strange situation.

They were blocked by the ghost killing team from Natian Spider Mountain. However, the ghost killing team did not take an offensive stance lightly, but kept moving forward inch by inch with their base as the center, as if to narrow their range of activities. into a mountain.Originally, "mother" could manipulate spiders, and "brother" could release venom at them, but the Ghost Slayer Squad has a strong and suffocating scent of wisteria flowers, and even the spiders on the ghosts are unwilling to climb on the Ghost Slayer Squad.

In the beginning of the battle, the ghosts first fell into a passive state, especially why the ghost killing team didn't point their knives at them.

Just when they were thinking not to act rashly and continue to evacuate, they didn't know when the net was set up to attack them one by one.

"It's presumptuous to think you can catch ghosts like this."

Although the four ghosts don't know each other's situation, they also know that this is not the time for them to be entangled in human tricks.

"Father" was so powerful that he tore through the net directly. After landing, he immediately rushed towards the ghost killing team.

The Ghost Killing Squad didn't put up any resistance, and ran away in all directions. There is only one target that "Dad" can chase.Among all the people, he smelled a wonderful fragrance, which lifted his spirits, and he was almost sure of the direction he was going to go when he was chasing and killing.

The member of the Demon Slayer Squad responsible for carrying the blood bag of Sakunosuke Oda used to be a hunter, with extremely fast feet and fast strides.Seeing "Dad" catching up, according to Oda's plan, when he was close to the trap, he threw the blood bag wrapped in clothes to the center of the trap, and turned over and hid in the distance to observe.Sure enough, the simple-minded "father" chased the blood bag, fell into the trap, and opened the blood bag to eat without thinking.

"You Ghost Killing Squad even personally delivered the food, how stupid..."

"Father" may have something to say, or it may be over. Anyway, his lips were only stained with blood, so he fell silent and fell directly into the pit.Everyone in the ghost killing team watched the ghost run into the trap after chasing the food, and his body became completely rigid.

Oda said that if the other party is not a child or the twelve ghosts with numbers in their eyes, they can handle it themselves.

So several members of the Ghost Killing Squad picked up different colored Japanese knives at the same time, showing their own genre.

"Water Breath—"

"Breath of Flame—"

"Breath of Flowers—"

"Breath of the Wind—"

Everyone shouted "Type [-]" in unison, and the ghost was torn apart in countless rays of light.When the light disappeared, the ghost with a frightening physique no longer existed.Several people breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other and smiled.

"Don't forget to send a message to Captain Oda, there is no Twelve Ghost Moon here, and there is no child he is looking for."

Oda is still at the foot of the mountain, and everything is going smoothly. Two crows have come to announce the good news. Some people may have been poisoned, but the casualties are not serious.Chongzhu Butterfly Shinobi stood beside Oda and said with a smile: "Mr. Oda's traps and the strategy of defeating them one by one are very good. In the end, we may be able to win completely without even having to play. You can use it more after you learn it." With such a strategy, it will be much easier to win the Twelve Ghost Moons."

"If the Twelve Ghost Moons are so easy to defeat, there is no need for people at the pillar level to be dispatched."

Mizujo Tomioka Yoshiyuki said expressionlessly.

The success of this operation is entirely dependent on Oda's familiarity with Natian Spider Mountain, his intelligence and the blood on his body, and it is not possible to use the same strategy every time.

Now Tomioka, Butterfly Shinobu, and Oda are waiting for the news of the Twelve Ghost Moons to be sent by the Yaya of the Demon Slayer Team as soon as possible. They are the main combat force, and the trump card is still charging in the end.

Butterfly held back her hands and said with a helpless expression: "Mr. Tomioka always likes to pour cold water on people, and it will be easy to be hated."

"I'm not annoying." Tomioka said unconsciously.Usually everyone avoids themselves when they see them, and they don't greet themselves directly, just because there is no need to say hello.I don't want to chat with myself, and I just don't want to waste my time.

"..." Butterfly Ren suddenly felt a little unbearable. "I'm really sorry, it seems that you don't know that you are hated by others, and I said so many unnecessary words."

Oda, who had been silently serving as the background board, inserted into their conversation at this time.

"I really like Mr. Tomioka."

Tomioka and Butterfly Shinobu looked at the expressionless Oda at the same time.

Tomioka: "Look."

I am not disliked.

Butterfly supported his forehead and said: "...Mr. Oda, don't pet him."

This would make him even more ignorant.

At this time, the third crow and the fourth crow arrived at the same time—"The ghost has been wiped out, but it's not the twelve ghost moons, and it's not the child."

After seeing what was written on the note, Butterfly endured the clues in his head to form a thread.

Oda said that there are five ghosts in this mountain, but in the news sent, none of them are twelve ghosts.Then there is only one answer, that is, the child that Oda wants to protect is "Twelve Ghost Moon" itself.

Before Butterfly Shinobi could express his conclusion, he saw Oda's serious face and said in his heart, it seems that Mr. Oda has also realized it.

Time to meet the Twelve Ghost Moons.

However, before starting to act, the voices of Tomioka and Oda sounded at the same time: "Could it be that there is a sixth ghost in this mountain?"

As soon as the words fell, Butterfly almost fell to the ground.

(How rough are your nerves!)

The fifth crow also arrived. It was a gui-level swordsman—Kaomen Tanjiro who had just joined today's crusade team.After meeting Oda, he took the initiative to ask Ying to help pick up the thin child in Oda's mouth.But because the rank was too low, Tanjiro was told to see the situation clearly, pass the news to them as soon as possible, and not act rashly.

What the crow reported was—"I found a child in the house, and there was a pair of eyes engraved with numbers in a glass box next to it."

The crow was covered in blood, and it seemed that Tanjiro had already been spotted when he flew over.

Butterfly held the note tightly in his hand.

Oda's ideas are good and naive.

They don't save any ghosts in the first place.

Ghosts should not and cannot exist in the world.

Butterfly Shinobi will not really let Oda raise a ghost, but seeing that it is Oda's friend, Butterfly Shinobi will use the most gentle means to make it less painful to die.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki is also a nuisance, and he will not accept Oda to do such a thing.

"What's on the letter?"

"That child is Twelve Ghost Moon." Butterfly Ren said.

Oda didn't listen, but started to walk towards the house, Tomioka Yoshiyuki stopped Oda first.Butterfly Ninja also sent other members of the Demon Slayer Team to stop Oda.

***

Tired has been sitting quietly on the steps in front of the house, just like in his memory, when he was still a human, he was sitting on the steps waiting for his parents to come back.But he didn't wait for his parents, and he couldn't wait.It was a young man who came, and he had potential from his sword skills and sword moves, but he might not win him.He also carries a sister who is a ghost on his back.The two cooperate with each other and protect each other.

Tired was sure again that what Oda said was true.

There will really be people and ghosts together.

There will be an unbreakable bond.

Then, he complied with this miraculous bond and died under the opponent's sword.

Being able to rush here means that the other ghosts are also dead.

There is no need for him to worry about such things.

It's okay, he's very tired today.

That's fine too.

When the body and head were separated, Tired felt like a blister, with a strange lightness, as if being hugged.

It seemed to be raining, and water droplets fell on his face and slid to his mouth.

I don't know what rainwater tastes like.

However, I heard that tears are salty.

It's a pity that I can't taste it.

He is a ghost.

My father shed a lot of tears at that time, and my mother shed a lot of tears, but they were tasteless.

Only blood has a taste.

But he doesn't want to touch it.

I didn't see Oda Sakunosuke before he died, so I don't know where he is.

Are you looking for me on the mountain road?

Tired and feel that my thoughts are so funny.

However, he really had a lot of things he wanted to say to Oda, a lot of things to say.He was clever enough to write it down first before gouging out his own eyes.

I don't want to embarrass Oda even if I'm tired.

He is already sorry for his parents.

They died by themselves.

Don't want to do it again.

I have written a lot, but I remember so little. Is it because I am dying that my memory has weakened?

"To Mr. Oda Sakunosuke, who is stupid and naive and thinks he is old and mature:

I have been a ghost that has lived for decades, not the child you said.

I "live" much, much longer than you.

After a long time, the days are like a day for ten years.

Many things, I forgot.

I still remember many things.

Mr. Oda, I think your experience is very similar to mine, so you are so deeply attracted to me.

We've all lost loved ones, and we all have haunted pasts.

We all look forward to family, but it doesn't come easy.

We are alike, but we are not the same.

The one and only Zukunsuke in the world, please live on.

Even if there is only one person.

Even if it's just one person.

even one person,

Please live on.

Living is very painful and uncomfortable, will be dragged down by memories, and will be hurt by others.

However, I still hope you live.

Live and find a better future.

How wonderful that would be!

I have seen cherry blossoms for many years. There is a tree in Spider Mountain in Natian. Every spring, many families will go to see it. It is very beautiful.

However, the cherry blossoms we saw together that day were the most beautiful, unparalleled in the world and unique in the world.

Oda, I'm sorry, I went to my parents one step ahead of time.

The only regret is that I didn't get to meet your parents.

If I am lucky enough to meet them, I will thank you very much.

Thank you for being such a gentle person.

farewell.

tired. "

Lei'an closed his eyes quietly, waiting for the final demise, but he heard a fragile "tired".

His eyelashes trembled suddenly in the familiar voice, but they still didn't open.

He suddenly felt so sad, so sad.

But he managed to force a smile.

His voice had begun to fade.

Do you want to say one last word?

"Thank you."

Oda's voice rang out when he was tired and hesitant.

Tired smiled: "Next time, I can live longer than now, with my parents."

"Ah."

Oda held his tired head and responded.

"Live well..."

"Ah."

"...Even if there is only one person..."

"Ah."

When the tiredness finally disappeared, Tanjiro watched his tears run down his cheeks, like a fleeting starlight under the moonlight, and finally fell on Oda's gauze-bound wrist, fainting Blood stains on the field gauze.Tanjiro only saw the back of Oda alone, but didn't see his expression clearly, because Tanjiro's eyes were blurred by tears again.

Yes.

correct.

It's this feeling again.

This is how I feel every time I see Mr. Oda.

It was so lonely and so sad.

Living alone is really painful.

When I went home that day and saw that my family members were all dead, Tanjirou's heart also broke down.

Fortunately, even though Nezuko became a ghost, she persisted until now.

Tanjiro held Nezuko's hand tightly.

He was about to call Oda, when a clear voice sounded in his head.

"Odasaku—"

The voice of the visitor was so bright, but wrapped in an indelible sigh.

"How did you get yourself like this?"

The man had jet-black hair, red iris eyes, and the bandage on his hand had the same smell as Oda.
