Chapter 10: House with Wisteria Family Crest
The murderous intent was forcibly suppressed, but the Shura Fire was still burning on the prosthetic hand. Even if the wolf took off the prosthetic hand, it would be of no avail. It was like a maggot attached to his soul.
The wolf's body began to shake, and he felt dizzy as if he had a fever. His heart was also very conflicted at this moment, with two voices fighting for dominance in his mind.
A voice said, and immediately rushed to Minako and cut off the heads of the Fujiwara couple to calm his inner unhappiness.
Another voice said that what they need to do now is to rescue Minako from the evil spirit and the Fujiwara couple as soon as possible.
The voice kept ringing in his mind, and the wolf's soul seemed to be torn apart. He felt weak, his legs went soft, and he passed out.
It fell from the roof to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust and scaring a passerby so much that he danced with joy.
"Wow! How did this person fall from the sky!"
The young pedestrian had black hair with a neat middle part. His appearance was not outstanding and he was even more inconspicuous in the crowd. If it weren't for the black uniform on his body and the knife hanging at his waist, no one would have noticed him.
He scratched his head and looked at the wolf lying on the ground, feeling a little overwhelmed. Then he sighed, squatted down, carried the wolf on his shoulder and walked towards the building behind him. Judging from the wolf's unsteady steps, he must have been injured as well.
"Ah, why am I so unlucky... I didn't catch the ghost, but injured my leg, and even found a person who fell from the sky. I am so unlucky..."
The back view of the boy walking towards the building, supporting the wolf step by step, was a bit funny, but the white word "destroy" on the back of the boy's black uniform and the courtyard with the wisteria family crest painted on the gate they were walking towards showed that the boy's identity was not simple.
While in a coma, the wolf's heart was also extremely uneasy. The clip that appeared at that time appeared again, but this time the content was somewhat different.
In this clip, Wolf once again transformed into a Shura, cut off the heads of the Fujiwara couple, killed the leader of the Eternal Paradise Sect, and then killed his way back to the original town from the Eternal Paradise Sect, slaughtering tens of thousands of people along the way.
There were some young boys and girls in black team uniforms who rushed towards him with knives, but they were all killed by him with one knife.
The legend about the wolf quickly spread throughout Japan and was passed on by word of mouth among Japanese residents.
The wilderness was littered with corpses.
The water of Longquan River is as red as blood.
A naked god who transforms into a wolf.
With Shura's killing speed, it only took him two days to return to the small town where he came from, and he killed everyone along the way. Finally, countless resentments rushed towards him from all over Japan, merging into his prosthetic hand and his entire body.
In the end, the wolf completely turned into a Shura in the town!
Unlike the resentful ghost that the Buddha sculptor turned into, his entire body was burning with red Shura fire, and his prosthetic hand was burned red by the flames.
Then the Kusabumaru, wrapped in the Shura Fire, pointed at everyone in the town, the vendors, the blacksmiths, the old couples, and in the last clip, the wolf stabbed the Kusabumaru into Minako's neck!
Minako's weak voice also rang in my ears.
"Shura..."
! ! ! !
The wolf was suddenly awakened, and sat up straight, taking a few deep breaths with lingering fear.
That is, my future...
wrong!
That is my future if I don’t change the status quo!
Just as the wolf was thinking about how to change the future, an old voice sounded beside him.
"Young man, wake up."
Turning to look at the white-haired old man, who had no teeth, he was still mumbling about going to find the person who brought the wolf back.
The wolf then realized that he was lying somewhere unknown, but the old man obviously had no ill intentions, so he was not too alert.
The room is a very traditional Japanese loft, with a shoji door on the left and right sides of the room. When you open the door on the left, there is an aisle connecting each room, and behind the aisle is a wide courtyard.
It was sunset outside the house. A tall wisteria tree with lush branches and leaves bloomed in the yard, and its special fragrance permeated the entire yard.
"Oh, you're awake!"
The voice is very young and the breathing is very strong, not that of an ordinary person.
Without even turning around, Wolf could tell from the sound and breathing that the person behind him was not an ordinary person.
Turning around, the first thing he saw was his black uniform. His pupils shrank slightly because he had just seen this uniform in a fragment of his dream.
The boy with a middle-parted hair felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the wolf, so he scratched his face and spoke first.
"Um... I'm Murata, a top-ranked soldier in the Demon Slayer Corps! May I ask who you are?"
Demon Slayer Corps?!
So those people were all members of the Demon Slayer Corps... I didn't expect that this rumored swordsman organization that actively hunts down evil demons would actually appear in front of me.
But why...
Although he was doubtful, the wolf still gave the name he had chosen out of politeness.
"Hirata Sekiro."
After giving his name, the wolf stopped talking and waited for Murata to speak. However, Murata did not expect that after the wolf said his name, he stopped talking and looked like he was waiting for him to speak. He frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy.
"Please introduce yourself to us and tell us what rank you hold in the Demon Slayer Corps. You are so rude. You should know that it is against the rules for a Demon Slayer to go out on the street without wearing a team uniform and carrying a knife. I am protecting you!"
Murata said a lot of words in rapid succession, but the wolf was stunned.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Murata with a strange look and spoke.
"Your Excellency seems to have made a mistake. I am not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps..."
"what!"
When Murata heard the wolf's words, he opened his mouth wide and looked at the wolf blankly.
“But you fell in front of the house with the Shidohana family crest, with a knife tied around your waist and strange protective gear on your hands… No matter how you look at it, you are a member of the Demon Slayer Corps!”
"really not."
After saying this, Wolf seemed to have thought of something. He ignored Murata who was shouting that he was finished, and looked down at the prosthetic ninja arm on his left hand.
Sure enough, the Shura Fire was extinguished!
The wolf just realized now that the burning sensation in his body and the feeling of his soul being split in two had completely disappeared since he woke up!
Looking at Murata kneeling on the ground in front of him, holding his head in despair, Wolf understood one more thing.
Killing the demons through the light curtain will give you rewards, but what will happen if you encounter a member of the Demon Slayer Corps who is also killing demons?
With a thought, he summoned a light curtain, and as Wolf had expected, the prompt with white text on a black background appeared again.
[Contact the Demon Slayer Murata, open the paper man function, and reward the paper man drifting]
Then the prompt shattered, turned into a light spot and merged into the wolf's brain. Only then did the wolf understand the reason for all this.
It turns out that when the wolf kills the evil ghost, the karma entangled with the ghost will turn into paper people and attach to the wolf's body. However, the wolf has been slow to develop the function of the paper people, resulting in the paper people having nowhere to be placed and piling up more and more, and the karma entangled with the body is also increasing.
Eventually, karma ignited the Shura Fire within the wolf, causing him to fall into a coma.
Now that the wolf has met Murata and activated the paper man function, the karma paper man has a place to be stored. As long as the wolf does not actively ignite it, the Shura fire will not burn.
The urgent problem was solved by Murata, and even though he was an emotionally cold ninja, Wolf couldn't help but look at Murata with emotion.
The look coming from the wolf's eyes was so strange that it gave Murata a chill.
Eh... why does this guy's eyes suddenly look so disgusting...
