Chapter 117 Main Thread Begins “Ha…ha…” …
"Ha ha……"
In the thick fog, the road under your feet is completely invisible. A young man is running wildly in the mountains and forests. Because he is exhausted, he has to gasp for breath. Suddenly, he stumbles and his whole body rolls forward.
not good!
He opened his eyes wide, but the inertia brought by the high-speed movement was not something he could stop due to his current physical exhaustion. Immediately, he rolled down the mountain path, only able to barely protect his head.
After rolling for an unknown amount of time, he finally hit a tree root and felt a sharp pain in his waist. Fortunately, he didn't suffer any other injuries, only some scratches on his hands and feet.
Tanjiro Kamado turned over, lying on his back and looking up at the sky. There were layers of leaves and only sparse sunlight. His nose twitched. This place seemed... a strange place.
Where did he go?
The boy opened his eyes, his head feeling dizzy.
But soon, he heard the sound of soles of shoes stepping on dead branches. The boy's face changed, and before he could muster the strength to stand up, a face appeared in his field of vision.
The sparse light above was also blocked by a black umbrella.
The man put one hand in his pocket and held an umbrella in the other, looking down at him condescendingly. Tanjiro Kamado opened his eyes wide. The man was dressed in a suit and tie, looking very elegant. It was an outfit he had never seen before - the poor child was still wearing those rural clothes and had never seen modern clothes.
"Kid, it's getting dark soon, why don't you go back?" the young man asked.
Tanjiro Kamado stared at him blankly. After hearing his words, he took a few seconds to react. He quickly rolled over and stood up, explaining, "No, I live nearby."
As the young man was speaking, his nose suddenly moved and he smelled a strange scent. He immediately locked onto the source of the strange scent and found that it was the young man with an umbrella who suddenly appeared in front of him. The other party was more than two heads taller than him and was staring at him with his eyes lowered.
It had a completely different aura from that of a human, but also different from that of a ghost… What on earth was that thing in front of him?
Tanjiro's face paled slightly and he took a step back.
Suzuki Chuan watched his actions, the corners of his lips curled up: "Are you afraid of me? I don't kidnap children."
The young man's figure was shrouded in a black umbrella, his eyebrows and eyes were a little more gloomy, the corners of his lips were curled up, but there was a dead look between his eyebrows, staring into Tanjiro's eyes.
Tanjiro couldn't look away, his eyes seemed to be fixed on those dark purple eyes.
The wind blew the sun-patterned earrings under his ears.
His pupils shrank.
In a trance, he saw the young man in front of him, wearing a dark purple kimono, looking down at him in the same condescending manner.
But the hazy memory only flashed for a moment, and Tanjiro's eyes regained clarity.
Suzuki Kawa's gaze also fell on the sun-patterned earring under his ear. The young man raised his eyebrows: "So it's him."
Tanjiro realized that Suzukigawa was staring at his earrings, and a chill ran down the back of his head. His mind was clamoring for him to run, but now he had difficulty even moving half a step.
"Tanjiro—" Urokodaki Sakonji's call sounded in the distance.
Tanjiro Kamado opened his eyes wide. This sound seemed to have broken something. He shuddered, took a step back and bowed suddenly: "Excuse me! I'm leaving now!"
The boy turned around and ran away without looking back.
He didn't even have the courage to look back.
Suzuki Kawa stared at his back and murmured, "This is Yoriichi's successor. Hmm... He is indeed a little different."
System: [Are you scaring the child again?]
Suzuki Chuan said innocently: "How is that possible? Didn't you see it? How could I scare him?"
System: [By the way, Tanjiro's sense of smell is very strong. He must have smelled something.]
Suzuki Chuan turned around holding an umbrella and sniffed his sleeve when he heard the words: "I smell like laundry detergent all over me, but this brand smells so good."
[No, he can smell the scent of people and ghosts... For example, when he was sitting outside in Asakusa eating noodles, he could smell the scent of Muzan who was shopping in Asakusa.]
"Ah... that really works." Suzuki Kawa said slowly as he walked along the mountain path.
After walking for a while, a courtyard appeared in the forest. It was decorated in a classical style, with two wind chimes hanging at the door, and the road under my feet turned into bluestone steps.
Suzuki Kawa thought that his shoes seemed to be dirty and wondered whether he should wash them.
He put away his umbrella, pushed open the door to the yard, and chatted with the system. It was almost evening and the mountains were dim. The lights in his yard had been lit long ago, illuminating the yard. The pool reflected the light of scales.
The young man's figure passed over the water and walked straight into the house.
The system told him that the story was about to begin.
Tanjiro will be heading to the final selection in a few days.
Suzuki Kawa listened to it and put it out of his mind. He is now cultivating his character. In other words, he is calming down and planning to make a big move.
The system didn't know what he meant by "holding it back for a long time". Its field of vision could be switched at will, and it had been secretly paying attention to the situation in Infinite City in the past few years.
If you ask yourself honestly, it feels like Infinite City is about to explode.
Kokushibo took Tokito and Ichirō, and Douma returned to the Eternal Paradise Cult. Shirohime was out every few days negotiating business and entertaining guests. Ando Tsukasa promoted Gyuutarou and Mei to Upper Six, and was still diligently researching gunpowder... no, it had already evolved into some terrifyingly powerful bombs.
Once detonated, Infinite City will be destroyed by at least half.
They also perform rituals every day to summon the spirit of Suzuki River.
Is this guy also possessed by a ghost?
Suzukigawa's mountain courtyard is equipped with all kinds of modern facilities. He only took away some equipment that should not appear in this era from his apartment in Asakusa, and left everything else there, including a dozen thick manuscripts.
He left a note and asked Cheng Ji to help him publish it in the newspaper.
Cutting up the Infinite City was an idea he came up with on the spur of the moment.
The system was so frightened at the time that it didn't dare to speak for a long time.
This yard has existed for a long time. Suzuki Kawa bought a lot of furniture in the system store one after another, and slowly decorated it into its current appearance.
Already immersed in the decoration game.
He thinks it is more fun than farming games.
This yard is inconspicuous among the many places Suzuki Kawa has visited, and its location is remote. Suzuki Kawa has never brought any ghosts here. Maybe Cheng Ji has an impression of it, but she probably would not have thought that Suzuki Kawa was staying right under their noses.
The system felt that if Suzuki Kawa had not paid the "expense", he would have been discovered long ago.
God knows that it had just arrived here, and when it found ghosts wandering around at night, it was so scared that it shouted Suzuki Kawa madly.
Then he was forced to shut down by Suzuki Kawa.
It's clearly well-intentioned!
Suzuki Kawa continued his quiet life, sleeping until he woke up naturally every day, playing games when he woke up, and going to the system mall to buy fried chicken when he got tired of playing - he was already a rich man who didn't need coupons to eat fried chicken.
After a delicious meal and feeling happy, we started outdoor activities.
Including but not limited to going fishing in a nearby river, the probability of catching nothing is as high as 90%. The system later detected that there were very few fish in the river.
He went to sketch on the edge of a nearby farmland. The system asked him if he was an abstract artist, and then Suzuki Kawa unilaterally blocked him for ten minutes. The ten minutes were because Suzuki Kawa only persisted in painting for ten minutes.
After the outdoor activities consumed his energy, Suzuki Kawa packed up and went back to watch the live broadcast.
He was so happy that he started to waste the system's balance. Although it was essentially returned to the system, he placed an order just for the sake of satisfaction.
Suzuki Kawa has had a great time in the past two years.
One day, the system reminded him that it was time to go online.
[There's a mandatory quest you need to complete. It's the one I mentioned before. Doesn't Tanjiro have a very sharp nose? He needs to find traces of demons in Asakusa... Hey, you're the one who'll help him.]
After the last time he met Tanjiro on the nearby mountain, Suzuki Kawa hasn't seen him since. He must have gone to participate in the selection.
When he received the system task, he was still struggling with whether to move the mirror. After hearing the instructions, he responded, stared at the mirror for a moment, and decided not to move it.
Put a shelf in another place and place a vase there.
He nodded in satisfaction, turned around and picked up his coat from the rack against the wall. As he put it on, he said to the system, "I haven't been to Asakusa in quite a while."
"Let's grab a coffee at the Front Street Cafe."
System: [Front Street Cafe has closed down.]
Suzuki Kawa paused, a little annoyed: "I should have let Cheng Ji buy it first."
How long does it take for people from the mountains to go to the market in the city?
Suzuki Chuan looked at the navigation map and took a breath. "Why is it so far? I remember the road we took wasn't this one!"
System: [It shouldn't have been this far, but last year's road construction eliminated the road on this side.]
"Are all the people sitting in the road construction department pork?" Suzuki Kawa asked from the bottom of his heart.
System: [Don't rush to scold me, your grandfather was just a senior in the road construction department.]
Suzuki Kawa cursed himself indirectly: ...
"Next time if you don't tell me earlier, you'll have to go back to the factory for remaking." Suzuki Kawa said with a forced smile as he began to cast the blood demon technique.
After years of continuous upgrades, the CD of "Searching for Him in the Crowd" has been shortened to a few minutes. Suzuki Kawa thinks it is still very useful. After all, he used this blood demon technique to scare the members of the Demon Slayer Corps back then.
It can also be used as a teleportation array.
A must-have for home, travel, murder and arson!
Five minutes later, the bustling streets of Asakusa were crowded with people, trams were struggling to pass, cars were moving slowly, lights were lit, and advertising canvases were fluttering in the wind.
At the entrance of an alley, a long-haired young man in a suit and tie walked out.
His hair was an extremely eye-catching golden color, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes beneath his hair were deeper than those of ordinary people, making him look somewhat like a foreigner.
But it obviously looks better.
Suzuki Kawa, who had just stood at the intersection for a while and attracted countless attention, secretly sighed that his charm was still strong, and then chose a direction and walked forward.
The system prompted him that Tanjiro was nearby.
"I want to buy a latte." Suzuki Kawa said honestly.
[Go, go, go, there's no rush.] The system monitored the entire Asakusa. [You have about ten minutes.]
Suzuki Kawa nodded, found a coffee shop on the side of the road that looked not crowded, pushed the door open and went in. The sweet voice of the female clerk rang out, and the rich smell of coffee beans wafted through the air in the room.
The decoration is high-end, the service of the staff is friendly, and the prices are quite good.
Ten minutes later, Suzuki Kawa appeared on the street with a satisfied look on his face, carrying an exquisite packaging bag. The system said that Tanjiro was approaching, and Suzuki Kawa could release some ghost aura.
As soon as the electronic voice finished speaking, there was a commotion among the crowd not far away. Suzuki Kawa followed the system's prompts, and soon a young man appeared in front of him rashly.
There are also complaints about passers-by being hit.
Tanjiro came here following the strange and terrifying smell. He was amazed by the prosperity of Asakusa, but the sudden appearance of the breath of the Demon King made him abruptly pull his thoughts away from the prosperity.
The evening breeze blew the young man's golden hair. His face was pale, his eyebrows were cold, and he lowered his eyes to look at Tanjiro Kamado who stumbled out of the crowd.
"What's wrong, kid?"
He seemed to know that Tanjiro would come over, and he looked at the boy and spoke slowly.
Tanjiro Kamado realized something and his pupils shrank: "You... did it on purpose."
The guy just gave him a nasty smile and mouthed something.
[How about it? ]
Kill me?
Tanjiro's eyes widened with anger, and he subconsciously placed his hand on the Nichirin Sword at his waist, his chest heaving violently.
But again, the noisy voices in his ears reminded him.
This is a busy city.
Suzuki Kawa looked at the boy's furious expression, raised his eyebrows, and smiled: "If there is nothing else, I have to go home first."
"Little devil." The purple eyes reflected beautiful colors under the neon lights.
"you!"
“Ahhhh—”
Suddenly, there was a louder scream behind him. Tanjiro's body stiffened and he smelled a strong smell of blood. How could there be such a strong smell of blood when there were so many people coming and going here?
He turned around blankly and found that several people had surrounded him and were shouting for a doctor. The guy who was surrounded had turned into a ghost.
What's going on?
Here...how come a ghost suddenly appeared?
Veins bulged out of the back of Tanjiro Kamado's hand, and he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where Suzuki Kawa left, but he could only see countless heads.
The smell became more and more mixed.
Let's get rid of this ghost first. He gritted his teeth.
After finally getting rid of the guy who turned into a ghost, Tanjiro Kamado lowered his head and silently left with the crowd, knowing in his heart that he would not encounter that ghost again tonight.
It turned out to be the Ghost King... But that day on the mountain, he didn't smell any ghost scent at all, but that strange scent also made him feel creepy.
Walking out of the downtown, he came to a remote place, where a figure appeared in front of him. At the same time, a strong smell of ghosts suddenly wafted over.
His face changed drastically and he turned around and wanted to run.
But when he turned around, that figure was right in front of him.
Ando Si looked at the boy in front of him and said gently: "Who did you see tonight? Speak properly, or I will kill you."
A petal silently stuck to the back of Tanjiro Kamado's neck, but the boy, who was in a state of high tension, didn't notice the almost zero touch at all. He took half a step back and smelled an unprecedented terrifying aura on the ghost in front of him.
No, the aura of that blond young man is even more terrifying than that of the black-haired male ghost in front of him.
However, he was not sure about the identity of the blond young man, and the black-haired male ghost in front of him was definitely a cannibal.
Ando Tsukasa stared at him.
Suddenly a smile appeared on his face. The lower half of his face was covered with a mask, and only his eyebrows were curved, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
But Tanjiro Kamado felt a shake in front of his eyes.
"You're so lucky to have met him twice." Ando Tsukasa stood up and slowly tightened the leather gloves on his hands. "Kamado Tanjiro."
"How do you know—"
The gloved finger tapped his temples, and Tanjiro Kamado's astonished expression was reflected in Ando Tsukasa's eyes. "Your memories are now mine."
"Kid, don't feel guilty about exposing the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. I've known about that for a long time." Ando Tsukasa chuckled, seeing through Tanjiro Kamado's thoughts.
The night wind blew his clothes, and he suddenly glanced at the corner, then looked away without any expression.
"If it wasn't for luring him out, that crappy place would have been..." He muttered to himself, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
