The starting point of the original work of "Demon Slayer" is the seemingly inconspicuous "Cat Breaking Vase" incident.

The original author's original intention was to logically introduce the biggest plug-in of "Kamado Tanjiro" - the sense of smell, but as everyone knows, this has also become the best reference point for Luo Jie to judge the progress of the plot.

Of course, this incident itself has nothing to do with the subsequent "Stove Door Extinction" incident.

In the original plot, "Kamado Tanjiro" did not sell charcoal very smoothly that day, and it was not until it was almost dark that he sold out of charcoal to take down the mountain, and because there were rumors in the town that he would be attacked by ghosts when walking at night, he did not travel overnight and stayed at the house of a kind uncle.

It was because of such a small episode that "Tanjiro Kamado" escaped the catastrophe very coincidentally.

When another shadow crow brought back the image of "Kamado Tanjiro" staying in the town's house, Luo Jie did not release the crow again, looked up at the sunset in the west, and walked straight out of the gate of the house towards the mountains and forests in the distance.

Actually, he didn't have to go so early.

In the original book, "Kamado Tanjiro" came home early in the morning to find that his family had been attacked by ghosts, and only his sister "Kamado You Bean" was left in the family of six people who still had a body temperature.

This shows that the ghost appeared very late, and it was not until dawn that it found and attacked the Zaomen family.

But Luo Jie has his own plans.

Whether it's a hypocrite or a lot of things, since he came to this world and met the Zaomen family, he always wanted to do something to change the cruel fate of this kind and simple family.

Especially after "Tanjiro Kamado" taught him the "God of Fire Kagura" without any doubt, this idea became stronger and stronger in Luo Jie's heart.

He didn't want to resist the will of the world and forcibly change the main plot.

"Kamado Bean" must become a ghost, and "Kamado Tanjiro" must also join the Demon Slayer Team.

But at least, he hoped that he could save the rest of the Zaomen family who had died in vain on this premise—even if he could live one more.

……

When Luo Jie arrived near the stove door, it was already completely dark.

The dim light of the oil lamp revealed in the cracks in the walls of the Zaomen cabin, the frolicking sound of "Hanako" and "Mao", the cry of "Liutai", and the sound of "You Bean" coaxing children to sing, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter night mountain forest.

Luo Jie roughly estimated the distance and dug a snow nest under a tree more than ten meters outside the wooden house of the Zaomen family.

He wasn't afraid of the cold in the mountains, but ghosts were sensitive to the smell of living people, and he had to keep the smell of his body as low as possible.

Otherwise, it would be self-defeating for the ghost to find out that there was an ambush and not show up, or simply run for him first.

At some point, a light snow began to fall in the sky.

The sprinkled snowflakes gradually wiped out all traces on the ground, and covered the snow nest where Luo Jie was hiding with a layer of natural camouflage, which at first glance seemed to be just an ordinary snow hill in the mountains and forests.

Luo Jie closed his eyes and reduced some of the activities of his body as much as possible.

When vision is closed, the second largest sensor, hearing, becomes more acute.

He could even clearly hear the sound of coals burning in the wooden house more than ten meters away, and the chatter of the family sitting around the fire.

"Sister, haven't you confessed to Mr. Dire yet?"

Suddenly hearing his name, Luo Jie's ears couldn't help but move, and he subconsciously took a little more attention from monitoring the surroundings into the wooden house.

"Hanako, don't talk nonsense, I'...... I'm only ...... to Mr. Dire There is no ......."

"Sister, you're really not frank, we've all seen the peace you made for Mr. Dire."

"Huh? Why don't you even ...... Takeo Mom, you don't care about them! Look at what has become of Takeo and Hanako! ”

"Okay, okay, your beans are blushing, you two don't tease your sister anymore."

"Haha, my sister is shy!"

Luo Jie smiled when he heard this, and retracted his distracted attention.

……

The wind and snow in the mountains and forests have never stopped, and the lights of the stove house have long been extinguished.

Luo Jie lay quietly in the snow nest, monitoring the movements of the outside world through sound and surface vibration.

His mental power attribute at this moment has reached 1500 points, which is more than 100 points more than before entering the illusion realm, not to mention sleepless all night, even if he bursts his liver for a few days in a row, it will not be a problem at all.

Time passed bit by bit, slowly but never stopping.

The snow had ceased all night, and the snow-covered mountains and forests had become more and more silent, and it was the darkest hour before dawn.

Suddenly, a heavy footstep that was clearly different from that of the beast reached Luo Jie's ears through the ground unabashedly.

Luo Jie opened his eyes violently.

Through the bright reflection of the snow, I saw a black figure in the woods not far away, and I could faintly smell a smell of blood that had not yet dissipated.

It's a ghost!

The "ghost" of J country and the "ghost" of dragon country are two very different concepts.

As we all know, there is no such thing as a "ghost" in the Dragon Kingdom, and most of the so-called "ghosts" are people pretending to be ghosts or have mental problems.

The "ghost" of country J generally refers to some kind of humanoid monster that resembles a mountain spirit, and most of them have a pair of sharp horns on their heads.

The "ghost" in "Demon Slayer" is different from any of the above, and it is more similar to a hybrid of Western vampires and J country ghosts in terms of setting.

Since it has the habit of cannibalism of ghosts in country J, and at the same time, it also has the iconic characteristics of Western vampires who are afraid of sunlight and can use their own blood to create blood.

The best of them will also have a special ability called "Blood Ghost Magic", which is strange and extremely difficult.

In the original book, there is never any mention of what the ghost who killed the Kamado family looks like, anyway, as soon as "Kamado Tanjiro" comes home, he sees that the whole family is neat, and only his sister "Kamado You Bean" is still breathing weakly.

So Luo Jie can't know the strength of this ghost who has never appeared in the original book.

If it is the level of "lower string" in the twelve ghost months, he can still fight, but if it is "upper string", with his current strength, I am afraid that he can only give up the plan to save the Zaomen family, and run as far as he wants.

A moment later, the ghost approached the wooden house of the Kamato family.

Through the reflection of the snow, Luo Jie also clearly saw the appearance of this ghost.

It was just the most ordinary ghost, ragged, emaciated, and more like a down-and-out homeless man roaming the streets if it weren't for the trademark sharp fangs and nails.

Seeing this scene, Luo Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

The ghosts in the original book of "Demon Slayer Sword" are divided into four classes.

The first level is the primordial ghost "Onimai Tsuji no Miserable", and all the ghosts in Country J are his direct or indirect descendants.

The second level is the "Twelve Ghost Moons".

These are the twelve strongest demons who have been given the blood of "Onimai Tsuji no Misery", with a fixed number of people but not a fixed number of personnel, and once they die, they will look for new ghosts with potential to fill in the gaps.

The third level is the ghosts created by the "Twelve Ghost Moons" with their own blood, either intentionally or unintentionally.

This kind of third-level ghost belongs to the reserve army of the "Twelve Ghost Moons", and some of them have blood ghost arts, and they belong to the backbone of the ghost clan.

The fourth level is made by the blood of third-level ghosts.

This kind of "miscellaneous ghost", which can also be called "miscellaneous ghosts", has little to praise except for strength and immortality, and is also very problematic in terms of intelligence, and is completely a bloodthirsty and man-eating beast.

Generally speaking, reaching the fourth level of ghosts is the limit, after all, the concentration of "primordial blood" at this level is not enough to create new ghosts.

Because of this, the world of Demon Slayer has been dominated by humans for thousands of years, and has not been occupied by "Onimai Tsuji no Miserable" and his bloodlines.

And the one in front of him is obviously a lowest-level fourth-level "miscellaneous ghost".
