At this time, a full moon hung in the sky like a bright mirror, and the sea of ​​trees beside the track undulated with the night breeze.

The sky is hazy, the skylight, clouds, moon and sea of ​​trees complement each other, adding a touch of coolness to the world.

Count the time, dawn will come soon.

But the figures on the top of the tree still had no intention of retreating.

They are ghosts, ghosts of the dead, but even so, they will still die if they are exposed to the dawn sun, but they have no other chance.

If they couldn't kill the target mentioned by that adult before dawn, they still wouldn't be able to survive.

"Bang-dang--bang-dang..."

The swaying train was still moving, but it looked a little shaky, as if it might run off the track at any time. But every time the train was about to run off the track, it was always stabilized by some powerful force.

Countless weird and thick limbs were rioting inside and outside the train, but they were unable to disturb the figure on top of the train at all.

"The night is beautiful, and tonight is very lively." Xuan Hao murmured.

He walked slowly towards the front of the car, and the limbs that were close to him were strangely annihilated.

As the train moved on, it got closer and closer to those ghosts whose breath was completely uncovered.

This was a premeditated ambush, but these ghosts probably didn't know that their companions had already taken a step ahead, leaving only a huge body that was unconscious and did not distinguish between friend and foe. What was waiting for them on this train was

The abode of death.

······

Feeling the constant vibration of the car body, Tanjiro knew clearly that he had to find the neck of the ghost that had completely integrated into the train as soon as possible and cut it off, otherwise the hundreds of passengers on the train would be hurt sooner or later.

Although we don't know exactly what happened, it is estimated that this train will not last long.

The car body is constantly deforming due to the pressure of some force, and sooner or later it will reach its limit.

But if there was no such force to forcibly stabilize the car body, it is estimated that the train would have rushed off the track long ago.

"Did that old man and that goldfish-eyed guy do it?"

Inosuke asked excitedly.

How powerful does it take to use manpower to stabilize such a long train while protecting the passengers inside?

"Amazing!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to hurry up! Inosuke!"

Tanjiro reminded him when he saw Inosuke in a daze.

As he spoke, he swung his sword and slashed at the thick tentacles blocking his way, heading towards the front of the car through thorns and obstacles.

"I know! Leave it to me!"

Watching Tanjiro charging forward, Inosuke waved his swords unconvinced.

Two knives opened a large hole in the ceiling of the train.

"What are you doing!?"

Tanjiro felt the movement behind him and turned around to ask with some confusion.

Isn't what they should do now to clean up these tentacles and protect the passengers while searching for the ghost's vitals?

"What are you doing? Of course I know what I'm doing!"

Inosuke cursed impatiently, "It's you! Didn't you hear what the old man said? Our mission is just to find the vital points of that ghost!!"

As he spoke, he knelt on one knee on the roof of the car, inserted both knives into the car, and opened his hands to feel the flow of air.

"Forehead……"

Tanjiro suddenly woke up.

Although Inosuke is a bit irritable, this one-cell guy always thinks in a very simple way.

Tanjiro's top priority at this time is of course the safety of the passengers. Even with the teacher's reminder, he still subconsciously wants to protect the passengers on this train, but this is wrong.

"Inosuke is right... Teacher and Mr. Purgatory will definitely be able to protect these passengers!"

Sure enough, right here, a stream of hot air penetrated all the eight carriages from the rear of the car, and the strange limbs in its path were shattered in an instant.

The breath of fire, the type of one, Shiranui.

The flaming haori flew in front of Tanjiro, "Kamado boy, what are you still doing here?"

Anjuro smiled and asked Tanjiro who was stunned on the spot. That hearty smile made Tanjiro feel extremely at ease.

"Don't worry! The last two carriages are protected by the yellow-haired boy and Kamado sister. I am fully capable of handling the rest. You just need to follow Mr. Xuanhao's instructions to complete your task!"

Yes, Tanjiro reacted instantly.

There is only one thing they should do now, and that is to quickly find the key point of this ghost. As long as the fatal weakness is broken, the train riot will naturally subside.

Breath of the beast, shape of seven, space perception!

A fierce smile appeared on Inosuke's beautiful face under the hood, "I found you!"

The train was moving rapidly at this moment, and the air was flowing even faster. A slight movement would cause greater disturbance to the flowing air, allowing him to sense the location of the target more clearly.

At the front of this train!

"It's so disgusting! Watch me chop it to pieces!"

"bass--"

Inosuke pulled out the serrated swords from the car, and then he rushed towards the front of the car desperately.

"Is it really at the front of the car?"

Tanjiro poked his head out of the hole in the ceiling, watched Inosuke's movements, and confirmed the target's location.

He could also smell the strong stench coming from the front, but the train kept moving and the wind was too strong, making it impossible for him to confirm the specific location through his sense of smell.

"That's right!"

After receiving Inosuke's response, Tanjiro also jumped on the roof of the car, quickly catching up with Inosuke and running towards the front of the car.

But just after running a few steps, the two of them saw an old figure walking slowly and also towards the front.

"Teacher...what are you doing?"

Tanjiro was a little confused.

Why is the teacher who is supposed to protect the safety of the passengers in the carriage here! Could it be that Mr. Purgatory, Nezuko and Zenitsu are the only ones in the carriage now? The three of them are capable of protecting all the passengers!?

Just when he was wondering, the train began to topple over again due to riots.

But at the same time, the old man's steps happened to hit the roof of the car again. The violent shaking seemed to be suppressed by a powerful force, and the metal of the car let out a painful scream.

"this……"

Inosuke and Tanjiro looked at each other with shock on their faces.

Is this how you control the stability of the car body?

Seeing the old man in front of them walking on the roof of the car as if taking a leisurely stroll, the two people's understanding was refreshed once again.

"Don't worry, with Xingshou Lang's current strength, he can protect the safety of those passengers by himself,"

Xuanhao saw that Tanjiro had only started to act now, with a hint of helplessness on his old face.

Most of the decisions people make after careful consideration are based on weighing the pros and cons, and Tanjiro always subconsciously wants to protect the people around him. This young man is too gentle and kind.

"Go ahead, you've wasted a lot of time."

"clear!"

After realizing his mistake, Tanjiro hurriedly led Inosuke to continue sprinting forward, but...

"?"

Tanjiro, who had just taken a few steps, stopped and asked, "What's wrong with you? Inosuke?"

Inosuke, who had always been on the rampage, stopped.

He looked ahead warily, as if facing a formidable enemy.

······

"Here he comes, but...why hasn't that Nightmare guy sent a signal yet?"

Several figures on the top of the tree looked at each other in confusion at the approaching train in the distance.

"That guy doesn't want to take all the credit, does he?"

"Who knows?"

"No...I don't think so..."

A ghost frowned and looked at the approaching train.

The car body shook violently, and the iron wheel rubbed against the kneeling body, making sharp and harsh sounds from time to time.

"It seems like... the war has already started?"
To be continued...
