Chapter 118 Planned Search

Hearing this, Bai Yu said: "Searching is definitely necessary, but not everywhere."

——"Tanjiro, let me ask you. What are the characteristics of {ghost}?"

Facing Bai Yu's sudden question, Tanjiro also started to think, and then replied: "The characteristics of {ghosts} are that they are afraid of the sun, and they are also afraid of having their necks cut off by the Nichirin Sword."

"Wrong! Those you mentioned are the weaknesses of {Ghost}, not characteristics." Bai Yu immediately denied Tanjiro's reply.

Bai Yu knew that Tanjiro's thinking was in the wrong direction, and then he gave the wrong answer.

"Features are special things. Do you know why {Ghost} is called {Ghost}?" Bai Yu corrected Tanjiro's thinking.

Hearing this, Tanjiro pondered for a while, but still didn't understand. So, he could only shake his head at Bai Yu.

"Actually, {ghost} is just a name that represents {ghost}. Its fundamental purpose is to distinguish it from humans. The reason why {ghost} is called {ghost} is because it is not a human being. They have the same essence as humans. Difference, this difference is the characteristic of {ghost}. The biggest difference between human and {ghost} is the difference between eating and not cannibalizing people, so cannibalism is the characteristic of {ghost}."

Bai Fei explained to Tanjiro.

Hearing this, Tanjiro felt that Bai Yu's remarks were not rigorous, so he said: "Senior Bai Yu, if eating people is a characteristic of ghosts, some psychopathic people will also eat people, then such people are ghosts. Really? Nezuko doesn’t eat people, so she’s still a human, right?”

Facing Tanjiro's horns, Bai Yu also smiled bitterly. After taking a long breath, Bai Yu explained to Tanjiro.

"These are relatively special situations for you. No matter how many people a person eats, he is still a pervert at best. His nature as a human being cannot be changed. And Nezuko has never eaten a single person and has not had a drop of blood. If she has, then her nature as a ghost cannot be changed."

"Because the two are different species, normal people will definitely not be so perverted as to eat people. On the contrary, it is impossible for normal ghosts to be like Nezuko and not eat people. Even if they can't eat people. It’s Tamashi and Yushiro, even under their own restraint, they must drink human blood to survive.”

"Therefore, it is not wrong for me to say that cannibalism is a characteristic of ghosts, because most ghosts cannot survive without eating people."

Bai Yu explained to Tanjiro very patiently. Listening to Bai Yu's explanation so seriously, Tanjiro somewhat understood what Bai Yu meant. The characteristics Bai Yu mentioned were based on whether the other party was a human or a ghost.

So, Tanjiro nodded and said: "I understand, Bai Yu-senpai!"

"The topic is a bit far off topic. As long as you know that cannibalism is a characteristic of ghosts, you will understand my next search arrangements." Bai Yuxuan brought the topic back and said.

Hearing this, Tanjiro understood Bai Yu's plan.

According to this characteristic, the place where {ghosts} may move is definitely not in the remote mountains and old forests where there are no human beings, but in the mountains near villages where people can be eaten.

Therefore, although the area of ​​Nannandong is very large, just searching around the mountains of nearby villages can save a lot of useless efforts.

"Wake up Zenitsu. Today we will conduct the first survey of a ten-kilometer radius along this village."

Bai Yu immediately stood up and explained today's mission to Tanjiro.
