Chapter 38 The sudden change in the train
"Then after the others wake up, I will ask them to help you... Now I need to move these passengers as much as possible..."
Tanjiro looked at the boy and nodded, turned around and prepared to set off.
"There is often more than one way to hypnotize...not just sounds, be careful about other ways..."
"Finally, remember, here now, there is no doubt that this is reality!"
Not only was he warning Tanjiro, he was also warning himself.
The pain I have experienced during these years of practice is not fake.
And the pain the other person experienced was not fake.
Dreams always wake up, and people have to work hard to survive.
"oh, I understand now!"
After watching Tanjiro set off, Tazmi touched Nezuko's head.
"Nezuko, the task of waking everyone up is up to you!"
"call!"
--------
"What a strong smell..."
Tanjiro, who had just stepped out of the carriage, couldn't help but cover his nose with the back of his hand.
"Under such a strong wind, the smell of ghosts can still be so strong..."
"Upwind..."
Tanjiro climbed onto the roof of the car twice and ran quickly towards the car in front.
After a while, I saw the ghost waiting on the roof of the car.
'The smell comes from the ghost in front of you...'
Just when Tanjiro was secretly shocked that the stench on Ghost's body was so bad, Nightmare turned around and waved.
"Huh? Are you awake? Good morning!"
"It would be nice if you could just stay asleep...why wake up."
Looking at the mouth on the back of the opponent's hand, Tanjiro tightened his grip on the Nichirin sword, his eyes serious.
"Thank you for letting you have such a wonderful dream... If I were a little more evil-minded, I could also let you have a dream about your family being brutally killed..."
"Do you prefer to have that kind of dream? You probably don't want to, after all, it's too painful..."
After saying that, Nightmare covered her mouth and smiled: "Then this time I will let you dream about your father coming back from the dead!"
Looking at the other person's mouth shape, even though he was wearing earplugs provided by Tazmi, Tanjiro still felt a surge of anger igniting in his heart.
Not to mention anything else, just the sight of covering his mouth and snickering in front of him is enough to make people angry.
The stench from the ghost kept reminding him of the strong malice emanating from him. If he fell into a dream again, he would probably see his family dying in front of him next time.
"You guys, don't invade other people's hearts! I will never... forgive you!"
With that said, Tanjiro drew out his Nichirin sword and immediately stepped on it, rushing towards the evil spirit.
"Kagura, God of Fire, One Form, Round Dance!"
"Well... I'm really impatient... Then I'll let you have a little nightmare..."
Nightmare, who smiled slightly, stretched out his left hand, and saw the mouth on his left hand slowly opening and whispering.
"Go to sleep!"
Vampire magic: forced drowsiness and hypnotic whispers.
A wave of energy burst out instantly, but Nightmare was still stunned for a moment as he saw Tanjiro approaching quickly.
"This kid...he actually cracked my moves in an instant..."
Just as the evil spirit jumped up in surprise and dodged Tanjiro's attack, he narrowed his eyes while in the air looking at the other person's earrings and the earplugs in his ears.
'The flower earrings engraved with the sun...are they earplugs...I used the earplugs to reduce the influence of the vampire spell, and then escaped the hypnosis...I see...'
'Because it is not the original body, the current clone cannot release the vampire technique of using eyes to hypnotize...but why does the guy in front of me have earplugs...'
'Has my vampire magic been exposed...or is the guy in front of me just wearing earplugs...'
He dodged Tanjiro's sword again and continued to think.
'Or is it that my perfect plan has been discovered by these ghost hunters...'
'At what time...where...I clearly lured away the ghost hunters who had found clues...'
'Hypnotized the train staff, hypnotized the factory responsible for producing tickets, and added my blood to the ink... All of this was planned in advance...'
'But why now...'
He couldn't figure it out anymore. No longer trying to delay time, he could feel the sleeping ghost hunters waking up one by one.
The plan might be discovered, so he was cautious by nature and started the final fusion directly.
"Hey! Just keep dreaming... Then you and the people in the car can die painlessly..."
His lower body turned into sarcoma, and he merged directly with the train. While retaining his head and continuing to speak, his tentacles were covered with eyes.
"Vampire Art·Forced Drowsiness·Eye..."
Looking at Tanjiro falling towards the carriage, Nightmare laughed.
But in the blink of an eye, Tanjiro came to his senses and slashed his eyes with the knife.
The huge eyes were poked blind, and the other eyes slowly opened.
The nightmare just watched Tanjiro stab himself in his sleep, and then wake up, just to give himself a knife.
"Huh? Something's close..."
squeak! ! boom! !
"Damn it...I didn't expect that I, Inosuke-sama, would be ordered by that big-eyed guy..."
"Kanpachiro!! Sleepyhead and I are here to help you!"
Nightmare was stunned for a moment as he watched the roof of the car being torn apart by the Nichirin Knife, and a pig-headed boy wearing a hood rushed out.
Along with him was a sleeping boy with yellow hair.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the eyes on the tentacles glared, they could not match the gaze of Inosuke, who was looking at him from within the hood.
And with this clone fused, his other vampire technique can no longer be activated.
"Breath of Thunder·Shape of One·Thunderbolt Flash..."
"Breath of the beast, fangs of ginseng, tearing fangs!"
Countless slashes were struck instantly by the two of them, and the tentacle in front of them was quickly eliminated.
"Inosuke! Zenitsu!"
Tanjiro, who woke up the next moment, was relieved to see the two of them, and waved to them happily.
After seeing the chopped up wreckage gradually blending into the train, Tanjiro cheered up and led the two of them to continue searching for the location of the ghost's body.
--------
In the dark carriage, nightmare thoughts gradually spread.
The more he thought about where the plan went wrong, the more irritated he became.
At this moment, the thoughts of his boss suddenly entered his mind.
'Nightmare...how's the situation? '
'...'
Is this the voice of Lord Wuhan? Nightmare, who was stunned for a moment, quickly replied.
'Master Wuhan... my subordinate's plan has been discovered...'
'This time my subordinate's plan to devour more than 200 passengers was discovered by the ghost hunter... It must be that I met Zhu...'
The voice over there was silent for a moment, and then continued.
'Then it looks like you're just as useless as those guys...'
'Master Wuhan... Although he was discovered, my plan is going very smoothly... More than two hundred passengers are now all in my body... And I met the one you asked us to pay attention to before. A boy wearing sunflower earrings with burns on his forehead...'
'oh? ’
