Until last year, Murakami's family was a harmonious family.

My father was very industrious, and he hardly said anything when he worked in the fields, and my mother was very beautiful, and she made clothes that were very good-looking, and even if she sold them in the nearest big town, she could sell them for a good price.

The younger brother inherited his mother's genes, he was very cute, and his head was very smart, and the family said that the younger brother would definitely become a rich city man when he grew up, and the whole family would be able to move to the city without having to work hard and make clothes.

Although Murakami himself is relatively ordinary, he respects his parents very much, is very filial to his parents, and likes his younger brother very much, although sometimes he feels impatient because of his parents' 'learn more from your brother', and his younger brother will laugh and joke to him that he can't do it, but he doesn't hate his younger brother because of this.

It wasn't until last year that my father and mother were going to sell their clothes in a nearby town when they met robbers.

The clothes that had been done for half a year were all snatched away, the father was killed on the spot in order to protect the mother, and the beautiful mother was also defiled by robbers, first raped and then killed, and died a very miserable death.

When Murakami learned the news, he was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

What made him even more unacceptable was that his younger brother was shocked because of excessive fright and blows, and since then he has become a demented child, and his originally smart head is completely gone, not to mention, and even became sick in bed, and even had to be fed by Murakami himself.

Murakami was once so devastated that he even thought about committing suicide by throwing his younger brother into the river.

But that's when the man appeared.

"Pathetic, I'll save you."

The man arrived in the moonlight, dressed in fashionable clothes imported from the West, as only people in the big cities would wear, with a white top hat on his head that did not stain a trace of dust, and blood-red animal eyes.

He is very handsome, there are no flaws in his handsome facial features, and his voice is also very good, so that people will subconsciously have the impression that 'this man may be more beautiful than the most handsome person recorded in the history books' at a glance.

Then, the man turned his brother into a ghost.

Originally, he thought that his younger brother would be able to regain his previous sanity and health, but Murakami was horrified to find that the result was not as good as he imagined.

My brother's head has not recovered, he still looks like a demented child, only his body has become very healthy.

But this health comes at a price.

He developed an unquenchable desire to eat people, and on the day he became a ghost, he ate up all the five members of the family in the general's house, and let the blood stain the entire house.

Murakami wanted to stop him.

But he didn't in the end.

Although his younger brother has become a ghost, he is his last family member in this world after all, although he eats people, but Murakami still can't blame him, there is no way to stop him.

"My brother is too strong, I can't stop him at all."

At that time, Murakami found such an excuse for himself in his heart.

He didn't even realize that his brother's gradually expanding body after turning into a ghost, his extremely hideous appearance, and the blood stained on his body were actually deeply imprinted in his memory.

Immediately after, the man who turned his brother into a ghost left.

Then, less than a month later, the man who could control the dream came to this village, and through the beautiful dream, he took all the people in the village into his hands - all those who dared to resist were eaten by him.

Murakami was no exception, surrendering to the man's knees.

In the dream, he could see his younger brother, who was still a normal person, was exceptionally friendly to him, and did not have the ugliness, hideousness and horror after becoming a ghost, and he could also see that his parents who were still alive and the family were still living happily together, and even moved their family to the city.

He was reluctant to give up such a beautiful dream, so no matter what orders the ghost who controlled the dream gave him, even if it was against his heart, he did not refuse after all.

In addition, his younger brother was also subdued by the other party and became the other party's subordinate, so Murakami had no reason to refuse.

"If you refuse, your brother will definitely be killed."

Murakami convinced himself with such reasons.

So, the members of the ghost killing team sent twice were all knocked down by him with chopsticks, the first person was unwilling to take refuge in the evil ghost, and was eaten by his younger brother, and the second person was willing to take refuge, and then he was taken away by the man.

Immediately after, he ushered in Ryuxia, who was no older than his younger brother next year, but his vigilance was unexpectedly high, the third member of the Ghost Slayer Team.

…………

At night, in the house.

"That's all I know."

Under the faint light of the oil lamp, Murakami lowered his head and explained all the causes and consequences to Ryuxia.

His face looked very complicated, with five points of guilt, three points of unbearability, one point of evasion, and a point of fear that faintly emerged.

"A mysterious being that can turn people into ghosts...... Could it be the 'Ancestor of Ghosts' mentioned in the [Anonymous Lingji]? ”

Ryusha thought silently.

Oni are not rootless duckweed, mysterious creatures with no origin.

In fact, all ghosts in history, including now, have a true source, that is, the 'ancestor of ghosts' and the 'king of demons' who have existed since a thousand years ago and have lived until now.

In [Common Sense], it is shown that the Ghost King is not only immortal himself, but also has unrivaled power, and even has the ability to turn others into cannibal ghosts.

All the ghosts in the world were born through his hands, and they were transformed from the original human beings into cannibalistic ghosts, whether they were ordinary ghosts, alien ghosts, ghosts with blood ghost arts, and even powerful demons ranked in the 'Twelve Ghost Moons', all of which were created by him.

For more than a thousand years, although the Ghost Slayer has killed countless evil ghosts and killed hundreds of ghosts ranked in the 'Twelve Ghost Moons' that are constantly being updated, they have never been able to kill the Ghost King.

The hatred between the Ghost King and the Ghost Slayer has lasted for countless years, and they have long been mortal enemies who can't wait to get rid of each other.

However, the existence of the Ghost King is not the point now, although he is powerful, terrifying, and has the ability to create evil ghosts, he is not here after all, and the focus now is on the evil ghosts who are hiding behind this village and can control dreams, and-

"Didn't you try to stop your brother from eating people?"

Ryusha looked at Murakami, her amber eyes staring at him tightly, not letting go of the slightest reaction on his face.

"That can't be helped, can it?"

Murakami was stared at by him uncomfortably, unconsciously turned his head, avoided his gaze, and said: "With my strength, I can't stop him......"

"yes, I understand."

Ryusha nodded, and her interest in Murakami gradually began to wane.

This man is very unconscious.
