Chapter 2297 A Narrow Escape From Death

Tanjiro started working for the Demon Slayer Corps without telling his sister. The Demon Slayer Corps would issue orders through crows, and he had to go to investigate.

Generally speaking, the Demon Slayer Corps would investigate cases of missing people, because such unreasonable cases are often caused by demons.

The case that Tanjiro is accepting now is the case of missing girls. The disappearance of a specific group of people is like a picky demon, and it is very likely that it is a new demon, because only new demons are so picky and so unaware of the cover.

Old demons know how to conceal their whereabouts and will use other methods to hide the phenomenon of missing people so that the Demon Slayer Corps will not find out the clues.

For example, a demon controls a family and lets the family catch passers-by to eat, and the goods of the merchants are the reward of the family, achieving a win-win situation for demons and humans. This kind of demon is very smart. It is difficult to attract attention when it attacks merchants, and it also uses ordinary people as a cover, letting ordinary people catch people, and it is only responsible for eating. Even if it is found, it may be that this family runs a black shop, killing people and robbing goods, and it is not necessarily possible to find the demon behind it. The demon is only responsible for destroying the body.

For example, Upper String Two became the leader of a religion and let the believers commit suicide. These people who commit suicide will definitely break off relations with their relatives and friends before they die, and fall into a situation of loneliness. In the end, even if they are eaten, no one will be sad.

These ghosts are all resourceful and intelligent, but the ghosts in the missing girl case do not have such intelligence. They are completely dominated by their own tastes and hunt like wild animals. Naturally, they will be targeted by the Demon Slayer Corps.

Tanjiro came to the town and had to investigate the whereabouts of the ghosts himself. In fact, there was no good way. He could only wait for the ghosts to come out and commit crimes, and then he relied on his strong sense of smell to find the location of the ghosts.

Tanjiro's sense of smell is very strong, just like radar.

There are many monks in the town who seem to be waiting to help the dead transcend, because there is no living person or dead body, many families do not believe that their daughters are dead and do not accept the monks' rituals. However, the monks are not angry and are ready at any time. Anyway, they will have to admit the fact that their daughters are dead.

The monks are waiting for business.

Seeing this situation for the first time, Tanjiro thought that it was not confirmed that it was a ghost yet, how come these monks seemed to know the ending. No smell of ghosts has been detected so far.

The disappearance of girls is very strange. Sometimes they suddenly disappear at home, so people are panicked. And these monks not only did not help, but also directly believed that the missing girls were dead, which made the locals dare not speak out. Now families with daughters at home do not let their daughters go out.

But even so, it still cannot change anything, because ghosts can sneak around, appear and disappear, and appear as long as there are walls and ground.

At night, Tanjiro found the breath of ghosts and started tracking them immediately.

The ghost must be found. The appearance of the ghost means that it will eat people again. The speed of finding the ghost is directly linked to the safety of the girl. Fortunately, this town is not big, and Tanjiro quickly locked the direction.

"It must succeed." Tanjiro thought of his missing family and thought that they were also eaten by ghosts. Thinking of this, he forced himself to keep increasing his speed. He must save people.

He was nothing before, so he could do nothing about the tragedy of his family, but now he is a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, he has power, and he must not let tragedy happen again.

Right here!

The boy started breathing, and he was like a torrent, saving the girl from the arrogant ghost. The ghost deserved to stop on the street and prepare to feast, which gave the Demon Slayer Corps an opportunity.

"A ghost that can sneak in the ground?" Tanjiro was under pressure to deal with a ghost who knew blood demon arts for the first time.

At this time, a man ran over. He was looking for his missing girlfriend, so he could protect the sleeping girl. Holding the girl, Tanjiro couldn't fight.

"What are these?" The man was beaten by his girlfriend's parents because he lost his girlfriend. Now he found that the person who took his girlfriend away might be a sneaking monster, and he was already confused.

I have to protect them and defeat the ghost at the same time, Tanjiro thought.

Let's fight! Water Breathing.

"The boy is still too careless." Duran sat on the roof and watched the show, because the boy didn't realize that there were actually more than one ghost, but three. Of course, this is also a problem of the intelligence of the Demon Slayer Corps. The Demon Slayer Corps really let newcomers perform tasks without investigating anything clearly. If there is no protagonist halo for such a task, I don’t know how many times they will die.

So even if you pass the cruel test, you will eventually be killed by the Demon Slayer Corps. The Demon Slayer Corps really doesn’t treat the team members as human beings, but only as consumable tools. In this way, each member of the Demon Slayer Corps has to regard protecting the masses as the first priority, adding difficulty to their own battles. It can only be said that the work of the Demon Slayer Corps does not have enough hatred and feelings, and ordinary people can’t do it at all.

One-on-one, Tanjiro has no problem. His water breathing is quite mature. Two years of hard training has transformed him into a qualified swordsman, and there is also a sense of smell. In battle, the sense of smell can help Tanjiro determine the enemy’s position and let him fight without relying on his eyes.

Unfortunately, this is a one-on-three. Just when Tanjiro was about to take down the first ghost, other smells appeared in his sense of smell, and there were other ghosts.

Three! Tanjiro quickly gave up the attack, turned to defense, and stood in front of ordinary people.

Under great pressure, how to fight three?

"The Demon Slayer Corps killed people." Duran said that this situation was all the fault of the Demon Slayer Corps. Fortunately, Tanjiro still had a demon sister, which was barely two against three. Although they needed to protect two burdens, they were not in a desperate situation.

The three demons saw that they had a great advantage, so they started fighting. To kill Tanjiro, their ability was to move and appear on the ground and walls, and they could attack suddenly. Tanjiro could only observe the changes in the smell and react. If it weren't for his sister's protection behind him, he would be killed by the three evil demons.

The sister became a demon and slept for two years. Her combat power was not weak and she could hold a demon. But these ghosts were too good at hiding. Once they were weak, they shrank into the ground and didn't give Tanjiro a chance to play.

"Amitabha."

At this time, the town suddenly remembered the sound of monks chanting. The sound of Buddhist scriptures rose out of thin air, ethereal and profound, and the whole town was shrouded in a ball of Buddha light.

The evil ghosts immediately lost their ability to blood demon arts after listening to the Buddhist scriptures, and they found that they could not continue to sneak underground.

Was it the monks they saw during the day? Did they make the evil ghosts' blood demon arts invalid?

Although Tanjiro didn't know why the monk suddenly chanted, it was great since it worked: "Water Breathing, Type 3."

The two evil spirits in front of Tanjiro were killed, and his sister also severely injured another evil spirit. He wanted to ask how these ghosts were transformed and where the people who turned them into ghosts were.

Of course, ghosts would not betray the ancestor of ghosts.

"Hand him over to us for interrogation." A monk appeared. He was Taichi, who became Duran's subordinate in order to save his sister.

"Are you also from the Demon Slayer Corps?" Tanjiro wanted to thank the monk, but he didn't know what department the monk was from.

"We are not the Demon Slayer Corps, we are from the shrine, and we exist specifically to purify demons." Taichi said.
