Chapter 61 The Different Brothers and Sisters

"This is...my sister."

A momentary hesitation appeared on Tanjiro's face, but he still told Luca the girl's identity, "During the final selection, I also told you that my family members were all killed by ghosts, only my younger sister Survive."

When talking about this matter, Tanjirou inevitably had a look of disappointment on his face.

"Well!"

As if aware of his mood, the girl beside him tilted her head, as if wondering why he was lost, then murmured softly, trying her best to comfort him.

Tanjiro came back to his senses, smiled warmly at the girl, and the look on his face regained his optimism.

"However, in fact, I didn't tell you at that time that my sister Nezuko, when my whole family was killed by ghosts, also became a ghost because of being infected with ghost blood. The reason why I want to join ghost killing Team, just want to find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human through the Ghost Killing Team."

Because Lucia's identity background is also that the whole family was killed by evil spirits, which is almost exactly the same as Tanjiro's experience, so Tanjiro has a feeling of empathy for him.

People who have the same tragic experience are always easy to get close to each other.

Coupled with the friendship formed during the final selection, the relationship between the two is actually pretty good, so he didn't mind telling Liu Xia about it.

"My sister turned into a ghost...it's that kind of thing again."

Liu Xia glanced at the two brothers and sisters in front of her, she didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing for the second time in a short period of time.

In the village controlled by one of the ghosts of the lower strings, Lucia also met the Murakami brothers whose elder brother was still human, but whose younger brother turned into a ghost of a strange shape.

However, compared with the Murakami brothers, the Zaomen brothers and sisters in front of them are obviously different.

Murakami himself is extremely afraid of his younger brother who has become a ghost, but he uses brotherly love to hypnotize himself, making them seem to have a deep relationship between brothers, but in fact it is just a layer of cruelty on top of the cruel reality. Beautiful canvas.

But the brothers and sisters of the Zaomen family give people a completely different feeling from the brothers of the Murakami family at first glance. The atmosphere of mutual trust, mutual comfort, and mutual care cannot be faked.

Looking at the pair of brothers and sisters in front of her, a certain interest that disappeared because she saw through what Murakami's brother was really thinking, resurfaced in Liu Xia's heart.

"Aren't you afraid of being encountered by swordsmen from the Ghost Killing Squad, planning to get rid of all evil?"

Lucia stared directly at Tanjiro, a rare expression of interest appeared in her amber pupils, "For the Ghost Killing Squad, ghosts never distinguish between good and evil, they always kill."

This is also unavoidable.

After becoming a ghost, the memories of the original human period will gradually disappear from my mind, forgetting my previous identity, my former family members, and everything about the human period.

After becoming ghosts, the only desire they have is to eat people.

After people become ghosts, it is probably because of the huge energy consumption, the newly born ghosts often have unbearable hunger and an unbearable desire to eat people.

At this time, any human beings that appeared in their eyes were no different from their food. They would pounce on each other and eat them all raw like beasts that had been empty for several days.

In the records of the ghost killing team, not to mention neighbors or irrelevant passers-by, there are even many cases of cannibal evil ghosts directly attacking family members and eating them all after they have changed from humans to ghosts—— When they become ghosts, those who stay with them are often their family members.

As a result, many tragedies that sound cruel, such as eating family members raw, will be brewed. Husbands, wives, sons, daughters...all the people who were very close in the past will become food in their mouths.

And they will flee unconsciously, and then continue to prey on other humans, causing more tragedies and endangering the world.

Therefore, when facing ghosts, the ghost killing team will never show any mercy. As long as any evil spirits eat people, they must be killed without mercy.

Even ghosts who have never eaten humans before are probably no exception.

Because no one can guarantee whether the ghost who didn't eat people before will not eat people for the rest of his life, even if the ghost just eats one person and causes the collapse of only one family, it is all the sin of the ghost killing team.

In order to prevent possible tragedies in the future, it is impossible for the ghost killing team to let any ghost go.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the word "hate and hate" to describe the Ghost Killing Squad.

The same goes for Tanjiro's younger sister, Kamado Nezuko.

As long as she is found to be a ghost, regardless of whether she has eaten people before, she will most likely face the fate of being killed.

This is also the reason why Tanjiro hesitated when answering Lucia's question before - he was also worried that Lucia would have the kind of character that would show no mercy to ghosts, so he would turn his back on Nezuko directly.

There is no way, Liu Xia's identity setting is that the whole family was killed by ghosts, and under such an identity background, it is understandable that he would have the idea of ​​'killing all evil spirits'.

Moreover, just like Zenitsu has far superior hearing and can hear the emotions in other people's words, Tanjiro also has a far superior sense of smell, and can also smell other people's moods, and even smell other people's moves. Its weak point is a very powerful and convenient ability.

Zenitsu couldn't hear the emotion in Liuxia's words, and Tanjirou couldn't smell Liuxia's mood, neither of them could distinguish Liuxia's good from evil and good from bad.

The reason why I established friendship with him is just out of the very simple idea of ​​"wanting to believe him", in other words, it is a purely good-natured character.

"Of course I'm afraid, but even at that time, I will definitely protect Nezuko!"

There was firmness in Tanjirou's voice that made Lucia look sideways, and there was a will in his eyes that seemed to never waver.

"...Do you have the resolve to protect your sister even if you sacrifice your own life?"

Lucia looked Tanjirou up and down, her eyes fixed on him tightly, trying to find a trace of fear from his face.

But Lucia was disappointed.

"Of course... But, I also hope that that kind of scene won't happen, haha!"

Tanjiro scratched his cheek, a slightly embarrassed look appeared on his face.

The brothers and sisters of the Zaomen family are indeed different from the brothers of the Murakami family.

"interesting."

As if seeing something she wanted to see, a faint smile appeared on Liu Xia's mouth, "If that's the case, then don't easily expose your sister to the eyes of the Ghost Killing Squad, otherwise it will cause you The scene I didn’t want to see came earlier.”

In Lucia's eyes, Tanjirou's act of easily exposing his sister to his eyes still seemed too naive. If his spirit foundation promotion task I hadn't been completed, he probably didn't mind using his sister as a substitute.

If you want to protect your sister, this kind of mentality is not enough.

After Liu Xia finished speaking, she ignored the two of them, turned around and walked towards the nearest ramen shop.

"... Lucia Sauce?"

"Let's have dinner first. If you don't mind, you can come together. I'll treat you."
