Chapter 141 Hesitation leads to defeat
Seeing the wolf's murderous look, Busei didn't expect the other party to react so strongly. He looked at the wolf in surprise.
"Why are you reacting so strongly? Even if he doesn't activate his markings, according to the biography, Tsugikoku Yoriichi is also a very powerful demon slayer."
Having said that, Busei chuckled and a self-deprecating look appeared on his face.
"Perhaps reviving him would be a good thing... although it would be embarrassing to ask the ancient dead to help us slay demons."
Wolf didn't care about Busei's self-mockery, and similarly, he didn't refute the joke in the first half of his sentence.
After all, the Demon Slayer Corps, to which the other party belongs, has only witnessed the tragedy of immortality, that is, evil demons that eat people, but what Wolf is thinking about is the various causes and consequences caused by immortality.
Perhaps the resurrected Yoshiichi will not do anything to harm the world, but... Wolf has always kept in mind what Isshin said to Wolf when he went to look for the Undying Slash.
"It is also a difficult battle to cut off immortality, and the battle is a vortex composed of different wishes of different people. If you are not careful, you may be swallowed by this vortex..."
"So, Sekiro... remember, if you hesitate... you will lose."
Keeping these words in mind, the wolf would not hesitate when facing anything related to immortality.
Even if it was Isshin who was pulled back from the underworld by Genichirō, Wolf would kill him without hesitation after mourning!
It was so in the past and it is even more so now.
"..."
At this time, the old man on the side saw that the atmosphere among the crowd was not right, and quickly coughed twice and said to everyone.
"Now that we know the information, let's return immediately. After all, this library is underground, and the air quality is already very bad."
After hearing the old man's words, everyone realized that the air in the library was quite turbid at this moment. They frowned and followed the old man's pace on his way back.
And the biography that recorded the old stories of the Demon Slayer Corps was once again buried under the earth with the rumbling sound of the stone door closing. It is unknown when it will be remembered again.
Walking in the secret passage, I don’t know if it was because of the dim candlelight on the stone wall that made people not want to talk, or because the story just now in the library made people reminisce, but in the silence, everyone unknowingly returned to the entrance of the secret passage.
Hearing the sound of rain outside, everyone hurriedly opened their umbrellas, but the moment they returned to the ground, under their surprised gaze, the heavy rain stopped abruptly, and the sun broke through the dark clouds, revealing the blue sky and white clouds that were blocked by the dark clouds.
“So magical…”
Just as everyone was marveling at the wonders of nature, the wolf who had been following them silently suddenly half-knelt on the ground, covering his chest and groaning.
Looking up at the round sun that had risen above the blue sky, a bad premonition emerged in his heart. The next moment, the blade of the [Bai Lei] behind him made a crisp sound for no reason, which made Wolf completely confirm this guess.
At this time, everyone noticed the wolf half-kneeling on the ground. Muichiro wanted to go forward to help him, but the wolf gently waved his hand to refuse. He stood up alone and looked at Busei and Amane.
"Kuroshibo... has succeeded..."
Hearing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise. They had just found information about Yoriichi, but Kokushibo had already resurrected him. What on earth was that guy trying to do by resurrecting his own brother?
The wolf then continued to speak.
“It’s time to go back…”
After recovering from his shock, Busei calmly nodded in agreement.
"It's time to go back... In another month, the evil spirits will wreak havoc..."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the three children in front of him with a serious tone.
"That's when we are needed. During the last month of silence of this evil ghost, I will spend all my time training you..."
"And as my stepson, you must participate in the battle against the evil spirits even if you may die in battle!"
Hearing Busei's words, Ichiro and others were shocked and felt a little afraid of what Busei said, but they did not feel ashamed of it at this moment, because they knew that fear was not terrible, as long as they could overcome it.
The three of them looked at each other, then spoke to Busei Kasumigawa in unison with a serious look.
"learn!"
Seeing the three of them like this, Busei nodded with satisfaction, while Wolf looked at Amane, who was standing aside with a gentle expression and silently watching Busei and the others.
"how about you…"
Seeing Lang asking him, Tianyin told Lang about his next plan without hesitation.
"I have to go back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to discuss with the Master the demons' intention to cause riots in a month, and report what I saw along the way, so I will have to bother Mr. Hirata for the rest of the journey back."
Seeing that everyone, including his granddaughter, was about to leave, the old man still felt a little empty inside, even though he had known the outcome would be like this.
Everyone noticed the change in his expression, but there was nothing they could do. After notifying the hidden troops, they sat down with the old man in the pavilion in the yard and drank some hot tea.
After having one last lively dinner with the old man, they went back to their rooms and went to sleep.
The next morning.
A car horn sounded, followed by a respectful knock on the door. The old man, who had not slept much all night, opened the door. When he saw that it was someone from the hidden unit, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that they would come so quickly.
Then he turned stiffly and wanted to inform everyone, but when he looked back, a group of people who had packed their bags appeared in front of him. Seeing this, the old man could only roll his eyes and sigh.
He waved his thumb behind him and muttered something in dissatisfaction to everyone.
"get out……"
The three children and Tianyin laughed and walked towards the door, but when they were about to pass him, they turned around and pounced on him, hanging on his back.
Feeling the warmth behind him, the old man first smiled, and then deliberately cried out in pain.
"My old waist!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, a warm feeling surged in the wolf's heart. The coldness in his eyes these days temporarily dissipated, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
But Busei held his head with his arms, looking at the crowd that looked like a family hugging together, his eyes were dull and no one knew what he was thinking.
Already feeling the love from everyone, the old man gently patted Tianyin's arm that was around his neck, turned his head slightly and spoke to her.
"Okay... let's go..."
A moment later, the old man looked with a smile in his eyes at the Tokito brothers and Inosuke who were shouting and screaming when they saw a car for the first time, and at Busei who was about to stuff them into the trunk with a smirk on his face.
A smile full of genuine happiness bloomed on the old man's face.
Boom boom!
After a puff of smoke and dust, the car quickly disappeared from the old man's reluctant sight. Only after even the sound had completely disappeared did the old man close the door and return to the yard.
He sighed as he looked at the huge courtyard where he was the only one there.
"When will we meet next time..."
Knock, knock.
But at this moment, there was a steady knock on the door. The old man hesitated and turned to walk towards the door.
"I don't see any karma at all...it can't be them...Are there new guests?"
After hesitating for a moment, the old man opened the door and looked outside.
The man had a delicate appearance, dressed in bright red, with half of his handsome face covered by strange flame-like markings. On his ears, sun-wheel earrings fluttered in the wind. More importantly... he had a long sword with a lotus blade stuck on his waist.
With so many similarities, the old man instantly understood the identity of the visitor and looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Wow... what an incredible guest..."
