About ten minutes passed.
One by one, boys and girls came from other carriages to the carriage where Chika and the others were. They carried cones and ropes and walked step by step toward Chika and the others who were in a "sleeping" state.
"They should all be... asleep, right?"
"Huh? Why are these people's faces so red? Did they get beaten up?"
"It doesn't matter, just hurry up and finish. I want to have a sweet dream, I can't hold on much longer..."
The boys and girls walked up to Chika and the others, whispering as they reached out to make their move.
Of course, this attack was not a physical act of "killing" Chinatsu and the others.
The space that the subject hypnotized by Lower Moon One Enmu's Blood Demon Art entered was not a pure dream space.
The space of dreams is not infinite; it is finite, centered on the person dreaming in the dream world. Beyond this finite space, one can enter the void of the dreamer's subconscious, where a "core" symbolizing the spirit is hidden.
Destroying the nuclear weapon is tantamount to destroying a person's spirit, turning them into a useless person, even more so than a person in a vegetative state.
At this moment, these young boys and girls were preparing to do just that. They planned to enter the dreams of Chika and the others through a special ritual to destroy these "cores".
Just as a girl reached out her hand to Chika, Chika suddenly opened her eyes.
The girl was startled, and before she could even scream, Chika knocked her unconscious with a swift and decisive chop, so that the girl didn't feel any pain.
The others around him also knocked out those who were about to attack him, and laid them horizontally on the chairs, letting out a sigh of relief.
Tanjiro, with his keen sense of smell, detected the aura emanating from these people and turned to Chika, saying, "Sister, most of these people are patients."
These people were not directly manipulated by the ghost; they worked for it only because the ghost promised them a beautiful dream after the deed was done.
During the Taisho era, there were still no solutions to many diseases. For example, the boy that Tanjiro knocked unconscious had tuberculosis.
Although tuberculosis was no longer a fatal disease before Chika's reincarnation, it is now the Taisho era.
Tuberculosis was only conquered in 1952. At present, tuberculosis is incurable and fatal. It also causes considerable pain day and night, so it's no wonder that people want to numb themselves with beautiful dreams.
They are all a pathetic bunch.
Chika sighed helplessly and said, "Let's ask them again after this is over. If there are cases where people can't afford treatment simply because they're poor, then maybe we can help them out..."
At this moment, the Infinite Train is still speeding forward. As the mastermind, one of the Lower Moons, Enmu, stands on the top of the carriage with her face flushed, enjoying the "gentle breeze" blowing towards her.
"Once I've devoured everyone in the carriage, my strength will definitely increase to another level. If Lord Muzan is in a good mood and gives me some more blood, I can become even stronger. I want to challenge the Upper Moon to a bloodbath and become the Upper Moon!"
Enmu laughed excitedly until he noticed strong footsteps behind him. He turned around in confusion and saw Rengoku Kyojuro staring at him intently.
"This aura... You're a Pillar, right? I've heard that every Upper Moon has killed many Pillars. You're honored to be the first Pillar I've killed~" Enmu smiled and turned to face Rengoku Kyojuro. In his opinion, taking down a Flame Pillar was no problem at all.
He slowly raised a hand towards Rengoku Kyojuro, and on his hand grew a huge mouth. Just as the mouth was about to speak, a burst of flame flashed in his sight, and before he could utter a word, his head was severed by Kyojuro and fell to the ground.
"It doesn't feel real."
Kyojuro glanced down at Enmu's body and head, which had rolled to the ground and had not disappeared after being beheaded.
really…………
"Hahaha, you must be very curious about how I didn't die, right? Even if you're a Pillar, you've probably never seen anything like this before!"
Nightmare's voice came from all directions. Suddenly, grotesque lumps of flesh sprouted from the train directly in front of Kyojuro, and Nightmare's head, connected to these lumps of flesh, was lifted high into the air.
"The one you killed was merely an avatar of mine. I have long since merged with the entire Infinite Train; the entire Infinite Train is my body. Everyone inside will become my food. Flame Pillar, if you have the guts, then go and protect them! Hahaha!!!"
Nightmare's head was lifted high by this disgusting chunk of flesh, and he shouted excitedly, wanting to see the panicked expression on Kyojuro's face, but when he did, the smile on his face disappeared.
"Why don't you seem surprised at all? Why aren't you panicked at all? Did I eat everyone on this train and you don't care at all?!"
Just as Nightmare was thinking this, his facial expression suddenly twitched violently. The Infinite Train had a total of eight carriages, and because he was integrated with the Infinite Train, the walls of the carriages were his flesh and blood.
Meanwhile, Inosuke and his group were causing a ruckus inside the carriage, while Chinatsu and Tanjiro were slashing at the fleshy walls of the carriage and using Tanjiro's nose to pinpoint their location.
Even if the demon's neck is completely integrated with the train, it will not disappear. The demon's neck is just hidden somewhere in the train, but under Tanjiro's nose, this spot is nowhere to be hidden.
"Sister! She's right above us!"
"Attack together!"
Chinatsu and Tanjiro suddenly stopped and switched their breathing from Water Breathing to Hinokami Kagura.
Sensing a strong sense of danger emanating from near her most vital parts, Nightmare realized that she had been tricked.
The pillar in front of me was just trying to distract me; it was actually trying to attack my neck while I was distracted!
Nightmare hurriedly tried to redirect all her consciousness toward Chinatsu, but Kyojuro wouldn't let her achieve this so easily. He took a step forward and unleashed several slashes.
Despite the intense pain caused by Kyojuro's interference, Enmu managed to send a portion of his spiritual energy to Chinatsu's side. Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Chinatsu and Tanjiro, he frantically proliferated the flesh and blood around his neck, creating layer upon layer of defensive barriers around it.
Unfortunately... it's too late!
Chinatsu and Tanjiro had finished charging up their power, and with a simultaneous shout of "Hinokami Kagura: Yanghua Tu!", their Nichirin Blades swiftly and straight towards Enmu's neck.
boom!!!
A raging inferno, seemingly capable of incinerating everything, erupted from the blade's tip. Its powerful impact surged forward, instantly piercing Nightmare's neck and burning the entire area to ashes…
