"Please show your ticket."

Che Zhang with a pale face came slowly, and stretched out his hand to everyone with a sense of stiffness.

Following the instruction of Purgatory Xingshoulang, they handed over the ticket, and the palm of the car cut it lightly.

For a brief moment, Walnut sensed something was wrong.

This comes from the sensitivity of people who are often in the two worlds of yin and yang, and it is difficult for even the most powerful warriors to detect it. It is a kind of spiritual inspiration.

And it was this moment of inspiration that made Hu Tao instantly alert!

She took out the goma, and the moment the flame was lit, it seemed that the mist lingering in her mind was dispelled and purified, and she immediately noticed something was wrong.

Everyone, including Dadalia, is asleep.

How is this possible?Although she didn't have much contact with her, Hu Tao almost knew the identity of Dadalia, who is the executive officer of the Fools in the Winter Kingdom!

Not to mention his identity, but his aura of a warrior is very powerful. Even Hutao must admit his strength.

How could he fall asleep in this situation?

Different from others, they came to do the mission, and the traveler also clearly said that there are ghosts here!

In such vigilant conditions, it is impossible for anyone to fall asleep!

"No... If I didn't notice it just now, I probably..."

Thinking of his state just now, and the flashing dream, Hu Tao realized something was wrong.

She frowned tightly, quickly ran to several people, and pushed them.

She didn't know how long it had been since she fell asleep, and she didn't know the comparison between her own dream just now and the real time. At this moment, they didn't react at all, and they seemed to have entered a deep sleep.

Hu Tao felt a little bad, especially when she heard footsteps coming from inside the car, she quickly jumped on the roof, ready to observe what happened to the people coming.

I saw a few children walking to this carriage as if premeditated, without looking at other people, and tied a few ropes to them. They seemed to be talking about something, but such a clear goal also exposed their identity.

They are in the know.

After confirming this, Walnut jumped down abruptly.

"Who are you?"

Before raising his head, Hu Tao's voice came out.

She knew that her appearance was not suitable for scaring people, so she threatened them with a low voice when she came up.

Sure enough, those children seemed to be so frightened that they were speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Hu Tao continued her efforts: "Do you know what you are doing?" She pretended to be fierce and made a face at them, "Children who do bad things will be eaten by ghosts!"

However, this statement seems to have had the opposite effect, or her appearance is not terrible.

A child retorted angrily: "Ghosts won't eat us! Ghosts will only make us have sweet dreams!"

"Sure enough." Hu Tao sighed softly, "You and the ghost on this train are together."

Her expression, which was pretending to be a little casual, changed and became very serious: "You know, will this kill other people?"

Although it is not appropriate for Hu Tao to make such an expression, at this moment, she is indeed like an adult teaching a child.

Hearing this, the children trembled, but one of them shouted loudly: "What do other people have to do with us! We are all going to die too! Why don't we just have a sweet dream before we die!"

Hu Tao sighed and shook the goma in his hand: "In life, birth, old age, sickness and death are common. You are obsessed with this. You benefit yourself at the expense of others. In the end, there will be karma, but this is all your choice."

"I shouldn't have cared."

Hu Tao has always been a transparent person when she sees people and things. She is a mourner on the last line of life and death, and she never takes the initiative to intervene in these matters.

For example, Zhongli, even though she noticed something, she never said much.

For example, Dadalia, even if she knew there was a problem with this person, she followed the traveler's wishes and came with him.

After all, in one's life, many things should be seen through without telling the truth, and this is also a kind of wisdom.

But at this moment, she is the only one who is sober, and the others are facing a life-and-death crisis. Even if she always jokingly talks about doing business for others, she will not just watch others die.

"But this time, I'm in control!"

"Tell me, who is the one who instructed you?"

The group of children were startled by Hu Tao's serious appearance, their eyes subconsciously glanced in a certain direction, and Hu Tao caught him instantly.

"Huh? The front of the car."

Hu Tao's figure disappeared, as if she had turned into a butterfly, and she was running fast. After a while, she reached the front of the car, and she also saw the ghost this time.

The boy-like ghost stood at the front of the car, his hair was blown by the violent wind, he glanced at her with interest, with a morbid smile on his face.

"Didn't fall asleep? It's a rare case."

He opened his hands, and from the surface, he seemed to be able to do a job with ease.

But in fact, he felt bad in his heart.

Nightmare has always been a ghost who makes a lot of preparations. He will let the car driver pass the ticket check to put the ghost slayers to sleep, and destroy the core of their dreams by letting the children enter their dreams.

Even if someone came out, he could use the sleeping time of these people to merge with the train. At that time, he would have the life of the entire train, and it would be difficult for them to kill him again.

But this time, it was the first time that his plan went wrong at the very beginning.

But - just because he didn't fall asleep before, doesn't mean he won't fall asleep later.

"Vampirism, Whispers of Enforced Stunning and Hypnosis."

"Go to sleep."

He smiled softly, and cast his vampire technique on Walnut.

For a moment, he seemed to have seen the scene of Walnut falling asleep.

However, the girl opposite just frowned.

"Is this your ability?"

The girl held a gun flower, and the plum blossoms in her eyes were in full bloom, as if in the most prosperous scene, but at this moment, she did not have the smile that she always wore on her face.

"Unfortunately, those of us in the Pastoral Hall never indulge in dreams."

Is Walnut dreaming?Did it, and at that moment, she had a dream from a long, long time ago.

One, a dream she thought she would forget.

She dreamed of herself when she was a child, holding her grandpa's wrinkled big hand tightly with her small hands, and went to see the plum blossoms in the snow together. The red plum blossoms were in full bloom, and she was running in the snow, giggling.

Grandpa, on the other hand, was wearing the hat of the head of the Pastoral Hall, with his hands behind his back, looking at her and smiling.

She dreamed that when she was young, she hid in a coffin and refused to go to class, but was still found by her grandfather.

Grandpa smiled helplessly at her, but she patted her chest and said that she would be able to recite the book backwards.

As a result, she really finished memorizing the book standing upside down.

she dreamed...

She dreamed of the first funeral held by her young self.

——No, that's not a dream, it's a memory, a memory that shattered the dream.

She remembered that on that snowy day, she presided over her grandfather's funeral.

White wreaths covered the streets, almost blending with the heavy snow, and walnuts, holding grandpa's ashes, walked slowly through them.

The wind and snow blew through her hair, and a red plum blossom fell on her head, like the last gift from her grandfather.

Behind her is the staff of the Hall of Death who held the ceremony together, walking with her according to her request, and completing the ceremony step by step.

The suona sounded, but Hu Tao couldn't hear anything, she only heard the wind and snow, covering her entire childhood happiness.

That was the first funeral she presided over as the head of the Pastoral Hall.

Mingming was extremely sad, and her eyes were still a little red, but she walked firmly, and there was no deviation during the whole ceremony.

——Even if everyone thinks she's not good enough.

In the end, Walnut, who has always been lively, lit the fire with his own hands. His hands did not tremble at all, and he was more stable than an adult.

The fire burned everything, including Grandpa's body, including... her thoughts.

Later, she also looked for her grandfather, but she found nothing. The people in the Hall of Rebirth never stop for obsession, or in other words, they have always watched people come and go, and they don't have the obsession to live.

So in the end, she just picked a plum blossom and placed it gently in front of Grandpa's grave.

People don't bring them with them when they are born, and they don't take them with them when they die. The dead don't have to stay, and the living don't have to think about them.

"It is also very important to live in the world and live soberly."

Hu Tao sighed softly, then lit the flame, and shouted softly: "Get up!"

The flame went up along Goma, and the whole gun was dyed bright red, glowing in the dark night, it was a flame lit with life, more dazzling than any light.

Hu Tao bent slightly, and rushed towards Nightmare.

In an instant, the tip of the gun pointed directly, and the flames seemed to split the air, and at the moment when it was difficult to react, it penetrated Nightmare's head.

The speed was so fast that it seemed like a ray of light.

"No... I still have..."

Because Walnut didn't sleep for too long, Nightmare didn't have enough time to fully integrate with the train, and his weakness was still in his own head.

At this moment, all he can do is to quickly shift his weakness and speed up the process of integrating with the train.

However, he still failed.

As if the purifying flame fell on him, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness. He couldn't resist such a flame, which was brighter than the sun.

The body disintegrated bit by bit, not the burning pain caused by the sun, but purification, as if even his soul was going to be saved.

Death came to him, but he was rare and had no obsession.

At the last moment of his life, Nightmare looked at the girl who was like a plum blossom, flying like a butterfly with scorching flames, leaving the most beautiful picture for his vision.

And this picture also fell into the eyes of Guiwu Tsuji Wumi. In the far distance, Guiwu Tsuji Wumi shattered the cup in his hand.

The words that Nightmare didn't hear until the last moment of her life clearly fell into Onimai Tsuji's ears.

Those were the girl's distressed words: "Oh, I forgot to collect the money!"

Oni Wu Tsuji couldn't understand the meaning of the words, but the girl turned around and waved at the others who had woken up and came to the front of the car.

"Miss Nut! Are you all right?"

Kamado Tanjiro shouted: "I smell ghosts in the front of the car!"

Hu Tao smiled. She put her hand next to her mouth and made a trumpet shape: "It's all right! It's resolved!"

After finishing speaking, Zaomen Tanjiro also came to her, and she took advantage of this to complain: "I told you just now that I need to ask the ghost for money first, but I forgot this time."

"However, after thinking about it, the battles are often uncontrollable. How about this, let's settle accounts with their leaders in the future!"
