Chapter 1637 Choice (I am so exhausted when I go out today)


    The third string did not fall to the ground, because his body was completely wiped out under the sun before it landed.


    “Huh…comfortable.”


    Duanmu Huai raised his hands and stretched.


    Sure enough, you still have to move your muscles and bones from time to time to disperse the pressure.


    Since his reincarnation, Duanmuhuai has not killed anyone in the past fifteen years, and has accumulated a lot of pressure. I fought with this guy who couldn''t kill him no matter how hard he fought, and I felt refreshed.


    Well…it seems that it is still beneficial to come here occasionally to expel pressure.


    Duanmuhuai looked at the rising sun in front of him, yawned, and then reached out to pick up the knife thrown aside. He could feel that the knife was absorbing the remaining ghost energy from the third one just now. At the same time, he also felt the "door".


    This knife is like a key. As long as it absorbs enough ghost energy, it can open the "door" and travel through time and space.


    Originally, Duanmu Huai could return to modern times as good as Fengxian Third, just by cutting it, but Duanmu Huai played a hand-to-hand fight with it, and the result was that this key - well, it did not absorb enough energy at all.


    It''s really troublesome. It seems that I have to kill a few ghosts.


    "She is not a ghost..."


    Looking at Duanmu Huai who was stretching comfortably under the sunlight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If the girl in front of her was a ghost, then she would not stand here and bask in the sun leisurely.


    “…Miss Xiao Ai.”


    Butterfly Kanae came over again and looked at Duanmu Huai.


    "I invite you again to join the Demon Slayer and fight with us."


    “…………”


    Duanmu Huai carried the sword, turned his head and looked at the butterfly Kanae.


    "What is the purpose of your ghost killing team?"


    “Eliminate evil ghosts and protect the people.”


    "So, I''ll ask you a question."


    Hearing the Butterfly Kanae''s answer, Duanmu Huai showed a grim smile.


    "Suppose you are going to fight an evil ghost who is about the same strong as that guy, and there are innocent villagers behind you who need protection, what will you do? If you want to be distracted to protect him, then you will not be able to kill the evil ghost. If you give up protecting that villager, then he will be caught and eaten by the evil ghost. So... what will you do in the face of this situation?"


    Hearing this, Tanjiro immediately clenched his fists.


    "I will try my best to block that evil ghost and let the villagers escape!"


    Another pig-headed man also raised his two swords in his hand at this moment.


    "I will defeat that evil ghost. As long as the pig makes a sudden progress, the evil ghost will not be able to attack others!"


    The others didn''t say anything, but it seemed that they all agreed with both opinions, while Duanmu Huai shrugged.


    "This is indeed the correct answer. The correct answer cannot be the correct answer, but there is a third option."


    “………?”


    "That''s to rob the evil ghost and kill the villager."


    “…………Why?”


    Everyone was stunned in the unexpected answer from Duanmu Huai, and Tanjiro couldn''t help asking.


    "It''s very simple. The evil ghosts do not eat corpses, they only eat living people. Moreover, after eating people, the evil ghosts will increase their strength. Since that''s the case, as long as the food around them is eliminated, the evil ghosts can be prevented from gaining power through them, right?"


    "But it''s wrong to kill those innocent people for this!"


    "Of course it''s wrong. From a moral perspective, my goal is not to protect the villagers, but to eliminate the evil ghosts. If that evil ghost eats that villager, it will become stronger. At that time, it will not only kill you, but also kill more people. Compared to those who will be killed by evil ghosts in the future, sacrificing a few villagers is a very reasonable approach."


    Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.


    "Miss Chanai, I think you should understand that you and you Demon Slayer are not the same person. You are for the protection, and I am for the elimination of... Eliminating monsters that threaten humanity is my duty and mission."


    "but……"


    “But we can cooperate.”


    Duanmu Huai thought about it. There was still some time before the end of the summer vacation. Moreover, judging from previous experience, the flow rate of time in the past and modern times was not the same. As long as the speed was fast enough, he should be able to return to the modern world before the summer vacation. Moreover, the ghost killing team is a professional hunter of ghosts, and it is easy to find the location of ghosts.


    "………I see."


    Butterfly Kanae was silent for a moment and nodded.


    "But please go back with me, and I will report to the lord."


    "I hope I won''t wait too long."


    I am idle, just treat it as relaxing in ancient times.


    Kanae was very fast. Not long after that, she took Duanmu Huai to a mansion in the deep mountains, and there, Duanmu Huai saw several strange guys with different looks. The oldest is not old for many years, and the oldest seems to be less than thirty years old, and they are basically young people in their teens and twenty years old.


    Duanmu Huai looked at them curiously, and those people also looked at Duanmu Huai in confusion.


    "Is this the girl who killed the third one with bare hands?"


    A young man with white hair and scars on his face sneered.


    "It doesn''t look like it no matter how you look."


    "Ah, but she is so cute, petite and cute, it''s so great."


    Another girl with long pink hair and tied into three braids, looked at Duanmu Huai with her eyes glowing, with an extremely enthusiastic expression.


    Duanmu Huai looked at these people speechlessly, then turned to look at Kanae beside him.


    "Ms. Chanae."


    "Huh?"


    “That’s right.”


    "Didn''t you tell me that Jiuzhu is the strongest nine people in the Demon Killing Team?"


    "Yes, the pillar is the highest swordsman in the Demon Slayer and the strongest swordsman."


    “………just them?”


    Duanmu Huai glanced at the people, and his eyes were already very obvious.


    "I thought Miss Chanae was relatively weak, but I didn''t expect that the so-called Nine Pillars were at this level? No wonder you have not been able to eliminate evil spirits in the years."


    "What did you say!?"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, everyone on the opposite side changed their expressions, while Duanmuhuai looked at them leisurely. When fighting against Fengshen Third, Duanmu Huai could see that Butterfly Kanae was not the match of Fengshen Third at all. Not to mention her, even if the Demon Slayers present were on the scene, it would probably not be enough to deliver food to Fengshen Third.


    Later Duanmu Huai learned that Butterfly Kanae was mainly responsible for medical logistics in the Demon Killing Team, and she thought it was understandable. After all, she was a logistics person, and it was reasonable to be in the right position to be not very strong in combat.


    As a result, when I got here, I saw that the strengths of these nine pillars were not much different. The blind monk seemed to be somewhat stronger than others, but he was also limited in strength.


    These people are okay to deal with the kind of ghosts they met in the forest at the beginning, but when facing opponents like the third one, if they fight one by one, this group of people will basically lose.


    Clutch fights may win, but it is only possible.


    There are too many differences between the two sides.


    Duanmu Huai also heard from Butterfly Kanae that there are twelve ghosts on the side of the evil ghost, which is the so-called twelve generals, with six people on the upper and lower strings.


    As a result, there are only nine bosses on your Demon Slayer Team, and they are all at the same level as they are still suffocating?


    It would be considered good luck if you were not killed by evil demons.


    "What did you say? Stinky kid!"


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, the young man with scars on his face and looked very irritable also walked over angrily, stretching out his hand to grab Duanmu Huai - but the next moment, he suddenly flashed and quickly distanced himself from Duanmu Huai. At the same time, he lowered his waist, held the hilt of the sword around his waist, and stared at Duanmu Huai tightly.


    "Hmph... I''m just keen intuition."


    Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.


    "If you dare to take another step forward just now, I will smash your head to pieces."


    "you………"


    "If you are not afraid of death, come and try it. I promise to let you know how the word "death" is written - how about smearing it on the ground with your brain?"


    Duanmu Huai hooked his finger at the white-haired guy, and the latter was immediately furious.


    "You look for it---!"


    "Silent, the lord is here."


    Just as the tense scene was at a critical moment, a voice suddenly sounded. When the sound was heard, the others who were originally standing around quickly fell to the ground, even the white-haired guy who was about to fight Duanmu Huai just now was the same. Only Duanmuhuai was still standing there, staring at the main hall in front of him with his arms.


    Soon, a young man wearing sleeves and kimono walked out from behind the paper door with a smile on his face. Beside him, two doll-like girls were followed.


    With the help of two girls, the man left in front of everyone and greeted them.


    "Good morning everyone, and this traveler from afar."


    The man''s voice was very gentle and gentle, and Duanmu Huai also nodded, as a gift to return.


    "Hello."


    “I’ve heard from Chanae what you do.”


    The man stared at Duanmu Huai with his godless eyes.


    "You can use overwhelming strength to subdue and destroy the third one of the 3rd ones, plus the ones that you have destroyed before, hidden on the Infinite Train, and the army of the 3rd ones that are invaded by you, and the army of the 3rd ones that are in the twelve ghosts, three of them have died at your hands in the twelve ghost months."


    “…………”


    Hearing the man''s words, the other nine pillars changed their qualities, and their eyes were filled with shock when they looked at Duanmu Huai. If they just killed the evil ghosts of Xiaxian, they would not be able to do it, but Duanmu Huai killed three consecutively in a short period of time, one of which was Fengxian. More importantly, from the moment, he was not injured at all!


    What kind of power is this?


    They can''t imagine it at all.


    "It''s just a coincidence."


    Duanmuhuai doesn’t care about these things.


    "My goal is to protect humans. Since these evil ghosts threaten human survival, I will naturally erase them."


    "But you won''t join the Demon Slayer, right?"


    "Of course not."


    After joining the Demon Killing Team, will you kneel down when you see this man? Duanmu Huai is not allowed to do it.


    "I came here just to establish a cooperative relationship with the Demon Killing Team."


    "Oh? What do you say?"


    “It’s very simple.”


    Facing the man''s inquiry, Duanmu Huai chuckled.


    "Just treat it as a hiring. If you encounter a tricky ghost, you can hire me to destroy it. Just pay it. How about it? I think this is a very good deal for you."


    “………………”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, the man pondered for a moment.


    "Since that''s the case, I happen to have a job, I hope you can help."


    Then he spoke.
