Chapter Twenty-Eight: Bad News

"Well, it's time to leave."

Su Yuan said to himself.

After all, he came to learn from Tomioka Yoshiyong the experience of being a pillar and kill evil ghosts, not for a holiday.

It's just a coincidence that Tanjuro Kamado learned the [Breath of the Sun] here.

From Tomioka's point of view, Su Yuan has been letting go of his pigeons for ten days and touching the fish for ten days, and it would be a bit too much to continue.

Although Su Yuan felt that with his character, he would not report to Yaoya Shiki, but looking at his skills and experience that were waiting to be fed, Su Yuan couldn't wait to kill his dozen or twenty ghosts.

And now that Tanjuro Kamado's body has been recuperated by medicine, he looks a lot better, so I'll say hello to them when I'm ready to leave Hokkaido.

Or the next meeting of the pillars will discuss with Yaoya Sanyashiki and turn this place into an area for which you are responsible.

Under the pretext of work, Su Yuan said goodbye to the Zaomen family.

Although they were very reluctant to let Su Yuan leave, after hearing that his work was in Hokkaido, and he could occasionally come over to meet everyone, the Zaomen family also let go of the reluctance in their hearts and wished him a smooth work.

According to the news of the crow, Tomioka has now left the Gorge Foggy Mountains and is heading for Muroran Town.

It is a port city, and there have been several cases of unexplained disappearances in the port recently.

There were no swordsmen in the vicinity, so Yoshiyoshi Tomioka went there himself.

At the same time, however, a brown bear that appeared to have woken up from hibernation attacked people in Kamikawa Town, but in fact it was reported that it was suspected that a ghost was eating people.

Tomioka Yoshiyong asked Su Yuan to deal with it.

On the way to Kamikawa Town, Su Yuan ate rice balls made by Youdouzi himself, thinking about the Ghost Slayer team.

"Compared to the frequency of ghosts, the consumption of swordsmen is too fast. It's no wonder that many of the pillars at the Pillar Council said that there were not enough swordsmen now. Fuji Raid Mountain only selects 3 or 5 swordsmen a year, and sometimes more than so many people die in a month in the Demon Slayer Team. ”

After arriving in Kamikawa Town, Su Yuan first went to the local ghost killing team stronghold to learn about the situation.

As a result, when he arrived, the other party sneered.

"I'm so sorry! It's really a brown bear this time. Hunters have already killed man-eating brown bears and found the belongings of the missing in caves. ”

Su Yuan: ......

Has he been in love with a bear recently?

But running for nothing is also part of life.

After telling Tomioka the news with a crow, Su Yuan stayed at this base and waited for Tomioka's reply while continuing to practice in the whole episode.

But the next day, the owner of this stronghold ran over in a bit of a panic and told Su Yuan that someone was missing again.

"The missing person is Shibagoro who is chopping firewood and selling firewood nearby! The people who found him only saw Shibagoro's head and some bones, and everything else was gone! It must have been taken away by a ghost! ”

"I'll take care of it. Take me to the scene of the crime. ”

Su Yuan patted the panicked stronghold master's shoulder and quieted him down.

Seeing Su Yuan beside him, this person had the courage to nod his head again and again with Su Yuan.

"Yes! Then please Swordpillar-sama! ”

Through the narration of the owner of the stronghold, Su Yuan knew that Chai Goro was over 30 years old, but because of his love of drinking, he had not been able to save money, and he had not married a wife and had children.

Whenever he has any money in his hand, he will use it to buy wine and drink.

The place where Shibagoro's body was found was also in a small alley near an izakaya.

By the time Su Yuan arrived at the scene, Shibagoro's body had been cleaned up, leaving only a faint bloodstain after being washed by water.

People around them deliberately avoid this place when they pass by.

In this case, even the wind couldn't catch much breath, making it impossible for Su Yuan to track the ghost.

Su Yuan heard Butterfly Shinobi say that the smell of ghosts is very terrifying, and dogs with a keen sense of smell will be frightened and incontinent on the spot when they smell it, let alone initiate tracking.

"So you can only use stupid methods to wait for the rabbit?"

Su Yuan frowned slightly.

A man can make a ghost eat for days. If he deliberately hid, Shangchuan Town was so big, Su Yuan would not be able to find this ghost.

In the past few nights, he walked around several izakaya in Kamikawa Town, but he found no trace of evil spirits, and he did not hear that anyone was missing.

There was no way, Su Yuan could only lie on his stomach in another alley not far from Chai Goro's death, pour wine nearby, hold the wine bottle in his hand, and pretend to be a drunk.

It's a stupid method, but it's really useful!

After all, as soon as Shibagoro died, many people had palpitations and didn't dare to get drunk, and they hurried home together every night.

With such a comparison, Su Yuan immediately stood out.

At about 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Su Yuan, who was lying on the cool ground and practicing the whole episode, suddenly heard a sound of footsteps.

The footsteps came slowly towards him, and he threw a stone on his head.

Su Yuan:(‒́へ‒́╬)

Seeing Su Yuan's motionless appearance, the other party smiled reassuringly.

"Oh, human beings are really not afraid of death! Obviously, I killed a woodcutter a few days ago, and today someone is drunk here. I've been able to eat again these days! ”

Listening to the footsteps approaching him, he suddenly opened his eyes when the wind around him told Su Yuan that this evil ghost was attacking him.

In the dark alley, Su Yuan, who was lying on the ground, held the handle of the Rilun knife in his right hand, and Huo Ran got up!

The snowy sword light flashed from the azure sun wheel knife, bringing up a brilliant flame, which was held by Su Yuan, and reflexively slashed at the evil ghost behind him.

"[Breath of the Sun, Type Three, Scorching Sun Red Mirror!] 】”

Carrying a flaming flaming sword, the Nichiwa slashed out a ∞zigzag trajectory in midair, illuminating the alley and the terrifying face of the demon.

Poof!

Su Yuan raised his knife and fell, and with a single sword, he cut off the head of this defenseless demon.

"It's an ambush? Damn! ”

Seeing that this evil ghost was unwilling to turn into ashes and disappear, Su Yuan put the knife into the sheath.

+10 XP.

It's not hard to kill this demon, it's hard to find him.

Compared to Fuji Raid Mountain, this efficiency is far worse!

……

Over the next two months, Su Yuan carried out several such missions.

When he was short on manpower, he would split up with Tomioka.

When he wasn't busy, Tomioka would work with Su Yuan to tell him some of his experiences as a pillar.

Sometimes, Su Yuan would also encounter ghosts who could use blood ghost magic.

This kind of ghost is not as good as a ghost of the lower string, as long as you find a flaw in the blood ghost technique, you can easily kill it.

And he gave more experience, which made Su Yuan very happy.

On the way to a mission, Su Yuan had to pass by the Zaomen family.

He bought a lot of things, and planned to go and see the Zaomen family.

But when Sumoto arrived, Tanjiro Kamado told him unfortunate news.

"What? Mr. Kamado passed away due to illness? ”

Su Yuan was taken aback, and his face changed instantly.

Obviously, when he left, Tanjuro Kamado looked much better than before, how could he suddenly pass away?
