Chapter 191...Not Enough...
"…explain…"
Tanjiro did not feel that Kokushibo was angry when he growled at him. After seriously reflecting that his voice was indeed a bit loud just now, he lowered his head and recalled the evil spirit that wanted to escape yesterday. He looked at Kokushibo inquiringly and whispered.
"Mr. Kokushibo... I want to know... are there any kind ghosts in this world?"
Hearing Tanjiro's question, Kokushibo didn't expect the other party to ask this kind of question. He didn't react for a moment, and then answered without thinking.
"No…"
After hearing Kokushibo's answer, Tanjiro nodded thoughtfully, and then refuted Kokushibo again with righteous words.
"Really... But I think there will definitely be one!"
Looking at the excited Tanjiro, a hint of speechlessness flashed across Kokushibo's calm eyes, and then he continued in a low voice.
"…Who cares what you think…If you become a ghost, you will start to feed on humans. How can there be a kind ghost?"
After saying these words, I thought Tanjiro would end the conversation and go to sleep, but his face was full of seriousness and he asked me again.
"I believe... as long as I have a firm belief, even the instincts of living things can be overcome!"
Seeing that Tanjiro was getting more and more excited, Kokushibo felt a little annoyed for no reason. He ignored Tanjiro's enthusiasm, but he didn't expect that the other party would continue to find topics to talk about even if he didn't say anything.
"Before Mr. Kokushibo becomes a demon, is there any wish that you want to fulfill?"
Hearing Tanjiro's question, Kokushibo's impatience disappeared subconsciously, his eyes became dull, and he recalled the most desperate days for him, and said to Tanjiro.
"To live... that is my only wish..."
Looking at Kokushibo who was kneeling in front of him with a lifeless look on his face, even though the other party was clearly sitting in front of him, Tanjiro could smell a sense of frustration from him and asked Kokushibo again in a low voice.
"So...did you realize this wish?"
He was about to nod, but when he thought of what Yoriichi had just said to him, Kokushibo was unable to nod his head. Seeing the other party's look, Tanjiro did not continue speaking.
He stepped aside, covered himself with clothes, curled up, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Only Kokushibo was left kneeling in the candlelight, thinking about everything he had done in the past few hundred years since he became a demon.
Everyone he knew died one after another, and even his younger brother Yoshiichi, the goal he wanted to surpass all his life, died of old age before they officially went into war.
But after the other person's death, the tears he shed and the two broken flutes still in his arms made Kokushibo, who always wanted to surpass his brother, feel confused.
What is the purpose of living...
Instead of truly surpassing the brother he wanted to defeat, he betrayed humanity and his childhood self who wanted to become the strongest warrior.
Why are you living?
Recalling the conversation between Yoriichi and him about inheritance, he only wanted to become the strongest at that time, so when Yoriichi said that there would definitely be someone among the next generation who would surpass them, he felt extremely angry.
However, Yuanyi took these anomalies lightly and spoke calmly to his brother who was hiding his anger.
"Those who have exhausted their ways will all end up in the same place."
Kokushibo remembered this sentence for hundreds of years. He firmly believed that this was the reason for his survival!
However, the dead cannot be resurrected. After Yuan Yi's death, he could no longer understand the true meaning of this sentence, and he has been confused ever since.
During these hundreds of years, he suppressed his confusion by learning the most powerful skills in the world and serving Muzan who gave him the chance to live. But... could he really suppress it...
He lived in obscurity like this until the wolf appeared and the black sword gave him hope.
And he also knew that even after so many years, even if he had obtained a power like fire that did not belong to him, he... could not defeat Yoriichi.
But he knew this very well, so he pulled Yunyi back from the underworld. He wanted to fight with Yunyi again and find out why he was living.
Even if it means death...it doesn't matter!
Thinking of this, Kokushibo sat upright on his knees, relaxed, looked at Yoriichi who had his eyes closed, and made a secret decision in his heart.
I will definitely understand all of this...Yuichi...
At this moment, Yuan Yi, with his eyes closed, clenched the door tightly. A dark breath lingered between his brows, making him fall into a dream even though he had no intention of falling asleep.
The scene in his dream made him frown.
In the dream, there was a deep pit with no visible entrance. The pit was illuminated by scattered lights all around, and it was then apparent that the pit was surrounded by walls.
And a familiar figure was lying in the middle of the pit, curled up like a baby, with tiny wounds all over his body caused by the cuts of karma. Right at the wounds, two ominous auras, black and scarlet, were entangled.
His hair turned pale, but his big mouth opened exaggeratedly at this moment, swallowing the ominous breath into his body like a greedy beast.
There were tears in his lifeless eyes, and his lips were cracked, but they could not regenerate because of the continuous intake of air. They kept opening and closing, and his low murmurs could be vaguely heard.
"Akoza is dead... Lei is dead too..."
Seeing the other person like this, Yunyi wanted to go forward and take a closer look, but he couldn't control himself in his dream and could only say in his heart.
...It's Muzan... How did he become like this now...
Just as he was thinking this, he saw that Muzan's stable chest suddenly swelled, and his heartbeat was like thunder. After his heart expanded to its limit...
boom!
Just hear a loud noise!
Muzan's chest exploded, and flesh and blood splattered, dyeing the surrounding Infinite City walls blood red.
Knowing that the flying flesh and blood would have no effect on him, Yoriichi simply did not dodge or evade. He stared closely at Muzan's chest, which was left pitch black after the explosion, and found that it had not healed for a long time.
Seeing this, Yunyi's eyes gradually became gloomy.
Something's wrong...
But at this moment, a tearing sensation came from Yunyi's body. Yunyi endured the pain and gritted his teeth to listen to Muzan's whispers.
At the moment when Muzan's heart exploded, a ferocious and painful expression appeared on his face that he had not shown for a long time, but he whispered.
"Need... more..."
!!!
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, but his eyes were back to the Buddhist hall. He saw Kokushibo who quickly looked away and pretended not to look at him. Yoshiko took two quick steps forward.
Seeing that Yoriichirō looked so anxious, Kokushibo was slightly shocked, so he took the initiative to ask.
"what happened?"
Suppressing all the uneasiness in his heart, Yoriichi asked Kokushibo with a serious face.
"Can you still contact Wuzan?"

Qiang~
"Little brother over there, come and play with the sisters~"
"Uh-huh..."
Faced with the teasing of the gorgeously made-up prostitute standing by the wooden fence on the street, Xuan Mi's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know where to look for a moment. He mumbled to himself and couldn't speak.
But Zenitsu beside him seemed to be enjoying it particularly. He looked at the girls with blushing faces and said happily.
"Wow~ There are so many beautiful sisters~"
