Chapter 343 I Am Also a Ghost

After two days of traveling, Liu Xia and the others finally arrived in the mountains where the Demon Slayer Headquarters is located.

Before entering the mountain, there were already people at the foot of the mountain welcoming Liu Xia.

"Hey! Ruka-chan!"

Tanjiro was still wearing a light green hospital gown. The scar on his forehead became darker and darker, forming strange lines. When he saw Lucia, he waved his arms vigorously and showed a happy smile to Lucia. .

Zenitsu and Inosuke stayed on both sides of him, also watching Ruka's arrival.

The three of them have been recuperating for more than a month, and most of their injuries have been repaired. However, they are still undergoing rehabilitation training, and the butterfly ninja has not yet allowed them to leave the insect house.

"Sniff——"

When Liu Xia approached, Tanjiro's nose twitched slightly, as if he smelled something strange, and his face hesitated for a moment.

He glanced at Esdeath next to Lucia, and his eyes became a little strange.

They already knew the news about Ruka's return with a ghost from Flame Pillar Purgatory Anjuro, but because of Nezuko's precedent, they didn't have any special thoughts about Ruka.

But at this moment, Tanjiro used his otherworldly sense of smell to vaguely sense that something seemed wrong.

Although he also smelled a ghost smell in the air when the two came from a distance, he originally thought that the smell should be caused by the ghost Liu Xia brought back, but when he got closer, he But he discovered that there were actually two ghost smells, and there was also a vague smell coming from Liu Xia's body.

"Lucha-chan, you...could you say..."

Tanjiro hesitated a little, not knowing whether he should tell this.

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing his hesitant expression and thinking of his superpowers, Liu Xia became a little clearer, and then said nonchalantly: "As you sensed, I did become a ghost, but don't worry, I can survive under the sun. Take action, this is something even Wuhan can't do, this is proof that I am out of Wuhan's control."

Under Tanjiro's gaze, Lucia pointed to the strong sun in the sky and said: "And if it were your nose, you should be able to smell it. I have never tasted the smell of a human being before."

really.

Tanjiro's nose is extremely sensitive. Not only can he smell the smell of ghosts, but he can even use his nose to sense the other person's mood, whether he is lying, etc. This is not so much a sensitivity as a supernatural ability.

He could clearly smell that neither Lucia nor Esdeath had the rancid smell of man-eating evil spirits, and there was no smell of lying from Lucia.

In other words, like his sister Nezuko, he is a good ghost who doesn't eat people and also kills ghosts.

But that’s not the problem——

"Of course I trust you, Ruka-chan, but today seems to be the day for a pillar-level meeting."

Tanjiro looked at Lucia solemnly, "If you go to the master's mansion now, you will definitely be embarrassed by the pillars."

"Embarrassed?"

Before Lucia could speak, Esdeath, who was looking at the surrounding scenery beside him, heard the sound and spoke first,

A funny look appeared on his face.

"Then they have to be able to do it. If they can't do it, don't blame me for being rude."

"Um...who is this?"

Tanjiro glanced at Esdeath cautiously, and his sense of smell detected a rather permeable aura from Esdeath's body. Even though the other party didn't seem to mean to embarrass him, he could still vaguely detect it. That extraordinary sense of oppression.

"Her name is Esdeath. She was a ghost transformed by my hands, so she is not afraid of the sun."

Liu Xia explained briefly, "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with the master and the others. We can talk about it later."

Tanjiro nodded calmly.

"Eh? Ghost? What happened?"

Zenitsu was still brainstorming nearby, while Inosuke looked at the clouds on the horizon in a daze.

…………

In front of the main residence.

After the announcement, Lucia and Esdeath walked into the mansion side by side.

When the principal Yashiki Yaoya and Nine Pillars all gathered here, after the courtyard door was opened, everyone turned their attention towards this side.

"It seems the time is right to come back."

Lucia glanced at everyone, and then set her sights on the head of the house, Yoshiki Yaoya, who was getting weaker and weaker.

Esdeath was exactly the opposite of him. His ice-blue eyes glanced directly at the frail leader, and his eyes kept looking at Jiuzhu's body.

"Welcome back, Lucia."

Ubuya Shiki Yaoya was sitting next to the upper corridor, his eyes swaying slightly, looking towards the courtyard door, with the same gentle smile on his face as before, as if there was no trace of dust in his heart.

"Although you have just returned from a long journey, I am sorry that both I and everyone need you to explain your recent activities."

"That's what I expected."

Liu Xia nodded, as if she had already expected this scene.

"Then please explain them one by one."

Wearing a black and white plaid robe, with a pair of heterochromatic eyes, and a white-skinned python surrounding her shoulders, Snake Pillar Iguro Kobanei cast a cold, snake-like gaze at Lucia as always.

"First of all, why did you hang out with ghosts? And you actually brought back the Demon Slayer Headquarters?"

Wind Pillar Immortal Kawa Saneya, Sound Pillar Usui Tianyuan, all had expressions similar to his, and they were all looking at him, trying to know the reason why he did this. Not only them, but also Rock Pillar Wailing Island Xingming, Insect Pillar Hu Die Shinobu was waiting for his explanation, even his nominal master Enzhu Purgatory Kyōjuro.

Only Mizuhagi Tomioka Giyu and Kasumashira Tokitoru Muichiro were still silent and in a daze, while Koibashira Kanroji Mitsuri looked away, as if he didn't dare to look at Ruka head-on.

Considering the Demon Slayer Squad's style, this is actually a mild move.

If it had been the past, I'm afraid they would have rushed up to fight Esdeath without saying a word. Of course, they would have been frozen into ice by Esdeath without saying a word.

"You may not be able to sense it."

Liu Xia glanced at the circle of nine-pillar swordsmen, "So I will tell you frankly that I am not hanging out with ghosts, but acting together as a companion of the same clan."

After Lu Xia understood [Transparent World], the aura of his whole body can be concealed at will. Combined with the ability of aura blocking, even the demonic nature of ghosts can be perfectly hidden. Even the Nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Team cannot discover his true nature. Only Tanjiro, who has the ability to ignore aura and demonic nature, can detect his abnormality.

"Same race?"

Among the Nine Pillars, a few people with quick minds have changed their minds.

"You have mistaken the relationship between cause and effect. It's not that I got together with the ghost, but that she got mixed up with me because she was a ghost turned into me."

Liu Xia paused, and when all Jiuzhu's expressions changed, he continued: "To put it simply, it is - I am also a ghost, and I am a superior ghost."
