The earth gradually wakes up, and a ray of morning light breaks the tranquility of the night.

Kurosawa and Kanae, together, had left Saagiri Mountain for dozens of kilometers and were walking along a path that occasionally people passed by.

A few dewdrops fell, bending the leaves. Kurosawa glanced at Kanae who was smiling at passers-by from time to time, and couldn't help but said: "Aren't you tired? Smile at everyone."

I hadn't stayed with Kanae for a long time before, and I didn't notice this habit of hers.

She seemed to be trying to be friendly to everyone, even the passers-by would show them a gentle smile.

Kanae chuckled lightly and narrowed her eyes: "My mother often said that people who smile are the most beautiful. Smiling makes people feel happy, whether they smile themselves or see others smile."

It turned out to be like this... Kurosawa understood something, it turned out that she was not born like this.

If I remember correctly, Sister Butterfly's family died at the hands of ghosts. She may be like the later Butterfly Ninja, who kept smiling because of the will of her family.

However, Kurosawa knew that unlike the later Butterfly Ninja, Kanae's smile might be sincere, and her kindness also made Kurosawa feel incredible.

"Kanae, I actually have a question about you, and I've always wanted to know the reason."

Remembering some rumors and Kurosawa being a little bored while walking, he curiously asked Kanae.

"What's the problem? Tell me, I'll tell you when I know."

Kanae nodded politely.

"I heard that you have sympathy for ghosts and hope that humans and ghosts can live in peace. Why?"

It would be okay if she was someone like Kurosawa who had no hatred for ghosts, but all of Kanae's family members died because of ghosts. If she hadn't been a member of the Demon Slayer Squad, she and Butterfly Ninja would not have survived.

But it’s really hard to understand with Kurosawa’s way of thinking that he could forgive someone with such hatred.

After a pause, Kanae said in a still gentle tone: "Kurosawa, where did the ghost come from?"

Kurosawa kicked a stone blocking the road: "People are infected and assimilated by the blood of ghosts."

With the King of Ghosts as the root, powerful ghosts can use blood to turn humans into ghosts. After becoming ghosts, normal thinking will no longer exist, thoughts will be distorted, and negative emotions will expand infinitely.

There may be people who can suppress their ghost nature at first, but as time goes by, as long as there are no accidents, the human part will be slowly swallowed up, and they will lose control more and more times, and finally sink completely.

"Yes, it comes from people." Nodding, Butterfly Kanae's voice was somewhat emotional.

"Ghosts and humans are the same creature. They were once human beings and are the same kind as us."

"It's just that ghosts are driven by desire and can't control themselves. But it's not their fault that they become ghosts and harm everyone."

"Facing ghosts with sad fates, I can't help but sympathize with them."

"But sympathy is sympathy. I have never been soft on ghosts, because hunting ghosts not only saves the people hurt by ghosts, but also frees them from the pain in their hearts."

She is so gentle and kind... Kurosawa still can't understand it, but respects Kanae's thoughts and choices.

If the same thing happens to Kurosawa, he doesn't care what the other person's reasons are, what difficulties and reasons he has, let alone forgiving, crushing him to ashes may not relieve the hatred in his heart.

"Kurosawa, what about you?"

"If it were you, what would you do? Aren't ghosts who have a tragic life experience and were once human beings like us, not worthy of sympathy? In fact, there is only one enemy from the beginning to the end."

When he reached the spot where the stone was kicked away, Kurosawa gave it another light kick and continued to kick it away. He liked this very much when he was a child, kicking a stone all the way home. It felt very interesting. Now he occasionally has the same idea.

.

Hearing the admonishment in Kanae's words, Kurosawa just shook his head: "Don't say I was a human. Even if I am a human, I will not waver when it's time to take action."

"Look, just like the stones on the ground, they are blocking my way. Should I choose to take a gentle detour, or is it easier to kick them away?"

"Don't think of human beings too noble. There are people who are more vicious than ghosts everywhere. And judging from the number of ghosts, the number of humans who died at the hands of ghosts is estimated to be less than one percent of those who died due to human cannibalism.

No, even one in a thousand or one in ten thousand.”

There have been national wars in this world. Which war did not result in the loss of tens of thousands of lives at every turn? Ghosts have limited food intake, and they must be careful to attract the attention of the ghost killing team. They rarely kill people indiscriminately. The number of people killed by ghosts is compared to that of war.

It's really just a drop in the bucket.

Walking to the stone again, Kurosawa kicked it away again, enjoying it endlessly.

Except for those close to him, Kurosawa doesn't have much feeling about whether others are dead or alive, but he has his own bottom line and principles, and he will not kill innocent people for potential value, and lose his heart for power. He is just a slave of power.

That's all, Kurosawa just wants to be the one in control.

Looking at Kurosawa with some disappointment, Butterfly Kanae stopped talking.

Just like Kurosawa doesn't understand her kindness, she also doesn't recognize Kurosawa's cruelty. It's just that Kurosawa killed people who worshiped ghosts. Kanae can still accept it for now, otherwise she wouldn't want Kurosawa to be with her.

Go to Lianhua Town and make up for your mistakes.

The two stopped talking and walked in silence, when suddenly a noisy chirping sounded in the sky.

When he raised his head, he saw two crows coming together. Kurosawa recognized the dead crow that belonged to him but never dared to approach him. The other crow also had a cloth flower tied next to its small head.

The small purple butterfly decoration looks like Kanae's crow.

Kanae's raven fell down and rested on Kanae's shoulder, while Kurosawa's raven was still hovering in the air.

Soon, two crows opened their mouths and spit out unpleasant human words. The sound was like one electric saw rubbing another electric saw, which made people feel irritated.

But Yan Ya's words made Kanae's body tremble, and Kurosawa's expression also changed.

"Tengxi Mountain was attacked by a female ghost in red, and Shinjuro Shinjuro of Flame Pillar Purgatory and eighteen swordsmen guarding the mountain died."

"Tengxi Mountain was attacked by a female ghost in red, and Shinjuro Shinjuro of Flame Pillar Purgatory and eighteen swordsmen guarding the mountain died."

"Tengxi Mountain was attacked by a female ghost in red, and Shinjuro Shinjuro of Flame Pillar Purgatory and eighteen swordsmen guarding the mountain died."

.......

The two crows kept screaming shrilly, repeating the same words five or six times before they stopped.

The crows are an important part of the intelligence of the Demon Slayer Corps. What happened in Fujisei Mountain was seen by many swordsmen's crows. They spread quickly through their unique communication methods, and at the same time notified the nearby swordsmen of the incident.

A message.

However, during the battle, the bird did not dare to get too close to the battlefield. It only saw the battle process, but did not know the specific conversation. After briefly conveying the message, the bird flapped its wings again and flew high into the sky.

"How is it possible, Yanzhu..."
