Tomioka Giyuu took the new Nichirin Sword and followed Satsuki in a certain direction. The command came a step slower than the two of them, and when it was delivered by the Crow, the two of them were less than halfway to their final destination.

The order that Santo received from Osaka Yashiki Yoya was to wait nearby and wait for the Pillar who had taken on another mission to come and go together. It was also a coincidence that Toioka Giyu was picked up by Santo on the way, otherwise he would have to wait for Santo to return before he could go out.

The two were silent along the way.

At first, Sane wanted to start a conversation to liven up the atmosphere, but Tomioka Giyuu was uncharacteristically silent from the beginning and didn't say a word until the two of them arrived.

"Giyuu is acting strange today."

None of his words were responded to, but Toioka Giyuu's gaze continued to stare at his back, like needles pricking him, not with malice, but hard to ignore.

Santu simply concentrated his attention and wrapped the Nichirin Sword with a layer of cloth in advance, so that it looked like a stick from a distance. He then placed the two Nichirin Swords side by side in the cloth bag he had bought, to avoid them being caught because of the swords later.

The two of them found a hotel nearby and planned to rest for a while, trying to preserve their energy. They didn't bring much with them, except for some necessities, such as a wallet, and the Sun Blade.

The hotel proprietress raised her head when she heard footsteps, her eyes paused on the two people, and smiled warmly, making people not feel wary at all: "From the looks of you, you must have rushed here from far away. You must have worked hard."

Xuantu frowned slightly. He always felt that there was a sense of incongruity about the proprietress, but there was no doubt that she was a living person, and she did not have the "decay" that could be sensed by ghosts.

The battles between the Pillars and ghosts are much more frequent than those between the ordinary team members. The repeated battles have made them more sensitive to ghosts, and they can easily find low-level ghosts.

"Two rooms, thank you for your help." Xuantu handed the money to the proprietress with a faint smile on his face. The fox mask hanging on his waist swayed with his movements.

——Here it comes again.

The smile on Xuntu's lips froze slightly, and the almost solid gaze behind him once again showed its presence. It didn't matter that it was Tomioka Giyu who had been standing silently behind him.

The lady boss noticed something was wrong and asked in confusion, "Any other questions?"

"No, not anymore."

"...System?"

He woke up to a faint buzzing sound in his ears, and saw a familiar space. The screen was not far in front of him, but he did not see the white ball of light that should have been floating near the screen.

0829 took two steps towards the center of the space. Under his feet were flashing dots of light, gathering into a long river that flowed quietly. The words on the screen were refreshed, and a large number of new tasks were listed again.

Thinking about where the system had gone, 0829 came to his senses and realized that his fingertips had touched the task interface. The cold touch made him hesitate for a moment, and he scanned the task area. It seemed that nothing was wrong, and it refreshed according to the prescribed time.

He looked at the host interface again. The number behind the name column was blurry and unclear, as if it was blocked by something.

0829 tentatively reached out and wiped the patch. The number was still blurry and unclear, but he inexplicably felt that what was covered was not the number, but - what? His name?

Before signing the contract with the system, 0829 was already a lonely child. In his few remaining memories, he could not find any information about his parents, nor did he have any impression of his childhood. He was even about to forget his own name.

He originally had no intention of signing a contract with the system to play someone else. Even though he was living alone in this world, unable to find any traces of the past and without friends to interact with, he could still find the scenery and things he liked.

The reason why he was persuaded by the system in this situation was because he heard the system say "maybe it can help you find those lost memories", which somehow touched his most sensitive point.

Not long after that, he took over the thin contract. The system in charge of him was not the current one, and his personality was more lively - or, more talkative. Basically, for every sentence 0829 said, it could happily chatter seven or eight sentences, which made 0829 confused for a while.

0829 He took back his hand that was about to take on the task, but the ball of light still did not appear. He felt a little worried: "Is there something wrong?"

He stood here, originally he could have chatted with the system while waiting for the next mission, so that this place would not be so empty. But now the system was not there, he was the only one in this space, there was no sound, and all he could see was a small room with simple furnishings and a screen for checking information and accepting missions.

"Do you want to... take a mission and leave here?"

0829 While thinking, he reached out his hand towards the mission area on the screen. Familiar worlds he had visited before and their numbers flashed before his eyes, and then disappeared in the area due to the refresh.

Suddenly, the end of a wooden sword that came out from the side hit his wrist, knocking his hand back. The force was not strong, but it made 0829 suddenly sober. A man wearing a fox mask and a sun blade on his waist stood there. He suddenly appeared here, and the wooden sword was also made by him. His flesh-pink, slightly long hair was loose, and was tied up by the mask rope so that it would not be messy.

"Didn't you promise me that you would play the role of me and move forward with the Giyuu from another world?"

The man spoke, still holding the wooden sword in his hand and aiming it straight at 0829. His tone was a bit disappointed, but he didn't just start like he did when training Tanjiro Kamado: "Since you made a promise, how can you retreat halfway? Fulfill your promise like a man!"

...play? Who?

0829 His thoughts suddenly went into chaos, and his eyes wavered between the man and the screen.

'Shouldn't I just accept the mission?' 0829 asked himself in his heart, and then his eyes moved towards the man. The yellow, orange and green tortoise-shell feathers made him feel very familiar.

Something is stirring in my mind like a new sprout breaking through the soil.

0829 I thought, I should know this person.

The name was swallowed back on his lips. 0829 His mind was empty at this moment, and all kinds of doubts forced him to try hard to recall the truth of the whole thing.

First, he hasn't even accepted the mission to start acting in the world, and second, there is something wrong with his cognition.

Which one is the correct answer?

The balance began to tilt silently to one side.

While 0829 was thinking, the man had quietly approached him, his body temperature slightly higher, and he finally pinched his cheek lightly with his fingers, saying with a smile: "You are making me doubt your previous performance, actor."

"...Xiantu?" His voice was a little unclear because of the man's actions. The name rolled around the tip of his tongue twice before he finally spit it out.

"It's me." Xuantu let go of his hand. "Now think about it, where should you be?"

Where should I be?

0829 blinked, and the call that had been hidden for a long time finally came at this moment.

Giyu Tomioka woke up from a nightmare.

In his dreams, he repeatedly saw the scene of Xuantu's death. Warm blood seemed to splash on his face. He was slow to touch the source of the wetness on his cheek. The red color flowed and fell on his fingertips as if it had life.

Looking up, Tomioka Giyuu only saw a motionless body in the hand's clutches, just like what happened to his sister. He even felt his body shaking uncontrollably for the first time in a long time. The Sun Blade was right at his hand, and he could grasp it as long as he retracted his fingers - but he couldn't do it.

'Have I really become stronger?'

'Why can't I rush forward with a knife in hand to save him at this moment?'

"Giyuu, now that you have become a pillar, you must take responsibility and do your best."

Tomioka Giyu suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of him was the shabby ceiling of the hotel. He moved his fingers and the numbness faded away. The words came from the voice of the alien rabbit before he fell into a dream.

Tomioka Giyu's heart was beating violently, but he showed no sign of abnormality on the surface, and his face remained expressionless. It seemed that his mind had not yet recovered from the nightmare. He had no time to think about why he saw the scene of Santo's death, and he wondered if it was really the past reappearing in his dream.

Low sobs spread from the corners of the walls, especially obvious in the silent room, and it was impossible to ignore them.

Tomiokana Giyuu felt something rubbing his wrist. He raised his hand in front of his eyes and noticed that a rope had been tied around his wrist. One end was on his hand, and the middle was hanging down, with the mark of a knife cutting it. The other end was in the hand of the crying girl.

...Blood vampire magic?

Tomioka Giyuu doesn't often dream, let alone such an abnormal nightmare. He had already lost consciousness during the final selection, let alone the scene of facing the battle between Santo and Hand Ghost.

When Huixiang heard the man walking towards her, she hugged her knees and tried to curl herself up into a ball, as if that would allow her to escape.

"How terrible... How terrible!" Huixiang couldn't help but think. Just now, she wrapped the rope around his hand, wanting to destroy his spiritual core, but when she opened her eyes from her dream, she saw another boy having his head crushed by a strange and terrifying, demon-like existence.

The next moment she was startled and woke up from her dream, but she didn't expect that in reality, the man who was obviously still in the dream raised a knife that he had pulled out from somewhere and cut the rope with precision - for a moment she thought the knife would cut off her hand.

Toioka Giyu stopped walking as his crying became louder and louder. Before he could say anything, the girl quickly told him the culprit and what happened, including the fact that the man who asked her to come had the words "Lower Moon One" in his eyes.

"Well done, Giyuu."

Santo somehow read the meaning of "to be praised" from Tomioka Giyu's calm tone. In his dream, the real Santo reminded him of the fact that he was in an illusion, and then Tomioka Giyu kept calling him.

The one responsible for destroying the spiritual core of the inn is the proprietress of this hotel. Now both of them are huddled in a corner, wanting to escape but not daring to move, and can only pretend that they don't exist.

Santu smiled brightly: "You have grown up very well, just keep going like this." Tomioka Giyu's eyes lit up, and a long-lost gleam appeared in his eyes.

The author has something to say: It is the plot of Infinite Train, and the eldest brother will appear in the next chapter (At this moment, Tanjiro and his group are on their way on horseback (not)

If there are any bugs in the text that are not in the original work, just treat it as a private setting.

⊙

There are still three characters to be played in this article, and there will be two more extra chapters later, so it is indeed not far from the end... Because I can't control my own pace, it will become faster as I write.

Plus, I can’t think of anything to write about, so if I force myself to continue, it will definitely fail.

The next article is about the story of the Yokohama flower shop. I will try to change my writing rhythm and save the whole article (maybe)

Also, after this is finished, the Hong Kong Black Building article will also be updated, and the frequency is probably weekly.

⊙

There is a prize competition for guessing which two characters they are in the next world (co-op mode). I will give out red envelopes to the correct comments when the update comes out tomorrow afternoon.

Although it’s not much, it’s a thoughtful thing orz.

The nagging ends here——
