Chapter 89 I Had an Agreement with Him
"Clang!"
The short sound of clashing steel was quickly extinguished, but it broke into the ears of Tanjiro on the ground like the lingering sound of three days, causing his face to change immediately.
"Cangmimu-kun... are you protecting this ghost?"
Hu Die endured a blow and missed, and the whole person floated aside like a fluttering butterfly, and then looked at Liu Xia with surprised eyes.
Lucia turned around, looked at Hu Die Shinobi, and at the same time protected Tanjiro and Nezuko behind her again.
This was the second time in this month that Liu Xia protected the two brothers and sisters in front of Zhu.
"I told you from Mr. Purgatory that when he was in Asakusa, Tokyo, Kuramime-kun seemed to have fought against Mr. Purgatory because he wanted to protect a brother and sister whose younger sister had turned into a ghost."
Hu Diejin's eyes straddled Lucia, and fell on Tanjiro and Nezuko who were struggling to get up from the ground, and their eyes became interested.
"Could it be that this pair of brothers and sisters is the one you protected at the time? If so, then Cang Mimu-kun is really responsible!"
Hu Die could not help but look at the three of Liu Xia and his eyes became inexplicable, "In all fairness, if this ghost lady is really not cannibalistic as the report said, I don't have to do anything to her...but I should bring them here. Go back to the headquarters of the Ghost Killing Squad and hand them over to the lord for judgment, wouldn't it be better?"
Hu Diejin didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to attack Nezuko, maybe it was out of her own heart, or she knew that she was not Liu Xia's opponent.
But she also disapproved of letting them go like this.
The solution she proposed was the same as that of Purgatory Kyojuro, that is, to bring Nezuko and Tanjiro back to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Squad, and hand them over to the Demon Slayer Squad to be judged.
"The headquarters of the Ghost Slayer Squad..."
Tanjiro held Nezuko in his arms, and slightly tightened the hand holding Nezuko.
Unexpectedly, only ten days apart, the two brothers and sisters were once again targeted by the strong members of the Ghost Slaying Squad. Could it be that there is really no place for them in the Ghost Slaying Squad?
What should I do this time? Could it be that Liu Xia should be asked to help block this young lady and let them take the opportunity to escape.
"Can."
However, contrary to Tanjirou's expectations, Lucia did not refute Hu Diejin's proposal, and even directly agreed.
And, as if to appease the emotions of the two brothers and sisters, he continued: "When the Lord already knew about the two brothers and sisters, and talked about them with me, I believe He will give everyone a satisfactory answer."
"Tanjiro, will you trust me?"
Lucia turned her head and looked at Tanjirou who was behind her.
"Without you, we brothers and sisters would not have been able to escape back then in Asakusa Prefecture."
Tanjiro took a deep breath, his gaze became firm, "So, if it's Ruka-chan... I'd like to believe you!"
"You should be satisfied with this result, Miss Hu Die?"
Liu Xia nodded, and looked at Hu Die Ren again.
"The result was beyond my expectation. I thought Kuramime-kun was going to make a bet with me like Mr. Purgatory at that time, and then beat me and let them escape."
There was a gentle smile on Hu Dieren's face as always, "It's safe, there's no problem, forgive me for being rude before."
"That's good."
Lucia paused for a moment, then continued: "I have killed the strongest ghost on this mountain, and this operation is almost over. Gather up the team first, then go back to the headquarters together, and report to the lord."
When the sky gradually brightened, the entire Spider Mountain had been cleaned up.
All the ghosts were killed, Lucia killed the alien spider ghost and one of the new Shizuru, Tanjiro also killed one when he entered the mountain, my wife Zenitsu killed one, and the last one was going to escape,
As a result, she was directly beheaded by Lihua Luoxiang Naihu who was specially guarding the rear.
Tanjiro and Zenitsu, as well as the boar-headed boy, and all the wounded, including those who turned into human-headed spiders, were taken care of by the hidden members, and most of them were wrapped in bandages, put on stretchers, and taken away. Headquarters of the Ghost Slayer Squad.
Because Nezuko was afraid of the sun, she entered the wooden box again, and Liu Xia carried it on her back, and all the people went to the headquarters of the Ghost Killing Squad together.
…………
By the time Tanjiro woke up from his deep sleep, it was already dawn, and the sun was hanging high in the sky, throwing light and heat on the earth.
What imprinted in his eyes was a wide courtyard, the ground was paved with smooth white gravel, and there was a towering ancient tree several meters high not far away.
At this moment, he was lying on a stretcher, with many bandages wrapped around his body and forehead, making his whole body like a caterpillar, it was difficult for him to even crawl, and he could barely squirm.
"you're awake?"
The familiar indifferent voice came from beside him, Tanjiro reluctantly turned his head, and saw the figure of Lucia sitting beside him, and he placed the wooden box containing Nezuko beside the stretcher.
"here it is?"
Tanjiro turned his head with difficulty, looking around.
I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. In this wide courtyard, there are already many weird people gathered here.
Among them is a long yellow and red hair, wearing a flame-patterned cloak, who once met the ghost killing team [Flame Pillar] Purgatory Kyojuro in Asakusa Prefecture, Tokyo.
There is also a strong man dressed as a monk, blind in both eyes, holding a rosary in his hand, and chanting "Namo Amitabha" in a low voice.
And a beautiful girl with cherry-pink braided long hair and an open-breasted outfit that makes an innocent boy like Tanjiro very shy, but for some reason, she looks at this side with a particularly timid look at this moment, as if she is afraid Seems like something.
In addition, it includes the woman Liu Xia called "Hu Die Ren" seen on the Spider Mountain, and the young man beside her wearing different feathers on the left and right sides.
"Mr. Tomioka?"
Tanjiro saw the water column, and his eyes froze for a moment.
"This is the headquarters of the Ghost Killing Squad, and the people gathered there are all high-ranking members of the Ghost Slaughtering Squad, without exception, they are all column-level powerhouses."
Lucia sat cross-legged on the ground, and introduced to Tanjirou in this way: "About the matter of you two brothers and sisters, the head of the Demon Slayer Squad seems to intend to explain to all the pillars, so a pillar union meeting was held."
"Don't worry, being the Lord will not make things difficult for you, I have an agreement with him."
It is true that Ruka had an agreement with Yuya Ubuyashiki, but Yoyasuya Ubuyashiki himself did not have the idea of doing anything against the Tanjirou brothers and sisters, but in Ruka's words, he deliberately ignored Yoya Uyashiki's thoughts, and only selectively mentioned Having fulfilled the agreement between himself and him, Tanjirou had a preconceived notion that Lucia had helped them the most.
This kind of statement is of course to maximize my gratitude to Tanjirou. In this way, what he plans to get from him in the future, even if it is something as precious as [Initial Breath], he probably won't refuse it, right? .
"Hey, I can't pretend that I haven't heard of this!"
As if hearing Liu Xia's words, two people walked in from outside the house again, one of them rushed towards Liu Xia with a high-pitched voice.
"This gorgeous agreement, why not talk to me, Lord Yusui Tianyuan, now!"
