Eighth Crown

“What kind of noodles do you want? Where’s your sister?”

In the ramen shop, Ryuka looked at Tanjirou and Nezuko and asked them.

“I’ll just have some udon noodles. Nezuko doesn’t eat anything right now.”

Tanjirou twitched his nose slightly while answering. He smelled a little bit of joy from Liu Xia’s body, which surprised him a little.

He had always thought that Liu Xia was the kind of person who would never show the slightest emotion no matter what happened, but after he answered his question just now, his mood that was like a machine without a trace of anger seemed to have happened. some kind of change.

Although he didn’t know the reason, Tanjirou knew that Ryukatsu must be satisfied with some aspect of their brother and sister, so he showed a happy mood.

“One serving of udon noodles, one serving of soba, both hot.”

Ryuxia ordered from the shop, and went to sit at the table next to the Tanjirou brothers and sisters.

“You said just now that your sister became a ghost because of the blood of a ghost, right?”

Sitting on one side of the table, Liu Xia asked the siblings sitting opposite, “Do you know the name of the ghost who turned your sister into a ghost?”

“I know, I heard about it from the nurturer who taught me breathing techniques and sword skills, Mr. Rintaki.”

Tanjirou’s face became serious, “There is a ghost ancestor in this world. The blood on his body has the ability to turn people into ghosts. He has lived from a thousand years ago to now, and it is he who turned Nezuko into a ghost. , he also killed my family!”

“His name is – Onigomatsu Tsuji no miserable!”

The ancestor of ghosts, ghost dance Tsuji is not miserable.

Although Liu Xia knew a lot of information about the ancestor of the ghost from the next, the only thing he didn’t know was the name of the ancestor of the ghost.

According to the next article, it is because the ancestor of ghosts, Oni Mai Tsuji Wumai, added a curse to his own blood, so that any existence who turned into a ghost through his blood would not be able to tell his real name.

As soon as the name ‘Kimono Tsuji Wu Misi’ was uttered from their mouths, the curse lurking in the blood would erupt and kill the ghost, so even Liu Xia heard the name of the ghost king for the first time.

That’s right, in addition to the sun and the sun blade, there is another way to kill ghosts, and that is the absolute control of the ghost king over the lives of the cannibal ghosts under his command.

All the ghosts in this world are created by the ghost dance Tsuji Wumai. According to the next article, the ghost dance Tsuji Wumai can create evil ghosts at will, and can also destroy them at will. When the distance is close enough, the ghost king can even Can read their inner thoughts and memories.

In other words, the ghost king has the power to control the life and death of his subordinate ghosts.

And the important prop for Kiwu Tsuji Wumai to turn humans into ghosts is his own blood.

Just a drop of the ghost king’s blood can completely change a human’s life form, from a mammal to a man-eating demon with powerful immortality.

As I said before, the strength of ordinary ghosts is linked to the number of humans they eat. The more people they eat, the stronger their strength.

However, at the level of the Twelve Ghost Moon, cannibalism actually has little effect. As long as it does not eat too many people at one time, it is basically impossible to improve its strength.

Therefore, ghosts of the twelve ghost moon level generally rarely appear in front of ghost killing teams, because they basically do not hunt and kill human beings individually, and they are rarely witnessed.

Under normal circumstances, they either live in seclusion in the forest and are accidentally found by the ghost killing team, or they hide in a place where there are many people and plan to prey on a large scale.

Twelve ghost moon-level ghosts, who want to improve their strength, no longer rely on cannibalism.

In more cases, they will pray for the blood of Oni Mai Tsuji.

The blood of Kiwu Tsuji Wumisi is very precious. Just one drop can create a ghost, and a few drops can create an alien ghost. Once more blood is used, it can create a ghost of twelve ghosts.

In other words, the greater the amount of Kiwu Tsuji’s blood that is obtained, the stronger the ghost’s strength will be.

Therefore, among the ghosts in the Twelve Ghost Moons, there is not one ghost who would not hope for the blood of ghost dance Tsuji.

“The more blood you get, the stronger your strength will be after you become a ghost.”

Liu Xia thought silently in her heart, “But after turning into a ghost, it is bound to be controlled by the ghost dance Tsuji no miserable… It’s a bit difficult.”

In all fairness, a ghost like a creature has almost no weaknesses except that it cannot illuminate the sun. It is immortal, powerful, and the power of blood ghost magic… is a very powerful and convenient power.

But the only thing that will be under the control of Oni Mai Tsuji no miserable is that it is very taboo.

Although Liu Xia himself does not have any dignity, if the other party is stronger than him, it is not unreasonable to accept the control, but if it can not be controlled, how many people are willing to take the initiative to join in and be a licking dog?

After a while, two bowls of steaming noodles were brought to the table.

“I’m gonna start now!”

Tanjirou held up the udon noodles in front of him, and under Nezuko’s wide-eyed gaze, he lowered his head and took a sip of soup. For him from the countryside, everything in the big city seemed too gorgeous and high-end, even if it was just a little bit. A bowl of ordinary pasta made him feel unusually delicious.

However, before he could raise his chopsticks, an incomparably hidden but irritating smell penetrated into his incomparably sharp nose.

“Clang-crack-“

Unknowingly, the udon slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. The soup was scattered all over the ground, and the white and tender noodles and toppings seemed to be thrown away.

The sound of the shattering porcelain bowl woke Ryukka from his musings and cast his eyes on Tanjirou.

At this moment, the expression on Tanjirou’s face became extremely terrifying, his brows were furrowed, his teeth were gritted, the scar on his forehead twitched as if he was angry, and the whole person seemed to have encountered the enemy who killed his father, and was filled with unprecedented hatred. write.

Immediately afterwards, he didn’t even say hello, and he didn’t even pay attention to Nezuko, who gave him a suspicious look, and rushed out of the ramen shop under the attention of everyone in the shop.

Nezuko was a little overwhelmed, and stood there blankly, her eyes seemed to be bean-shaped due to a sudden change.

Lucia frowned slightly.

“Storekeeper, we put our things here, come back and pick them up.”

Liu Xia stood up and looked at Nezuko, who was at a loss, “If you can understand me, just follow me.”

After he finished speaking, he didn’t care whether Nezuko understood or not, he carried the piano case on his back, and left the ramen shop along the route Tanjirou left.

Nezuko tilted her head, as if she didn’t quite understand what Liu Xia said, but she looked left and right, and there was no acquaintance in the store, all strangers were staring at her, so she immediately opened her arms and followed Liu Xia. Behind him, he left here screechingly.
