Chapter 13 Chapter 13 This year is almost true ...​​​​

This year marks almost the fifth year since Masato and Urobe Nagisa met .

The various rules that real people have learned in human society do not apply to Bo Yezhu .

When we first met , he had very little material desire and exuded an attitude of not caring about anything .

Matters of life and death were not within his consideration . Three meals a day , sunrise and sunset , his life was like a stream slowly flowing into the sea . The occasional rugged terrain had no effect on it , it just kept on flowing .

His eyes were as clear as the first snow in winter , but he always held an indifferent attitude towards sin and evil , people and ghosts , malice and kindness .​

The real person did n't notice it at first .

As time went by , as they spent time together day and night , he slowly came to appreciate the indifference emanating from Boye Zhu , the purity of her soul from the depths of her soul .

However , the real person is a curse , a cursed spirit , a consciousness born from the hatred between humans .

He naturally has the ability to contaminate everything .

The inner malice will be infinitely magnified when it touches those clean and clear eyes . When the real person occasionally loses control , he will also want to drag Bo Ye Zhu into the quagmire completely .

I want him to bask in the sunshine , but I also want him to be shielded from prying eyes .

I want him to be the center of attention , but I also want him to belong only to me .

The real person has become adept at putting on a gorgeous coat of gentleness , politeness and tact to cover up the rotten flesh and bones beneath the jewels and gems .

His meanness , jealousy , stinginess , and fanaticism were all seen by Bo Yezhu . The dark color that flashed in his cold gray - blue eyes was never deliberately concealed by the real person .

But Bo Ye Zhu is willing to always give him all his trust .

All his love and hate seemed too naked and cowardly in the eyes of others .

Under the moonlight , Bo Ye Zhu closed his umbrella again and looked up at Zhenren . He seemed accustomed to his clingy and fiery gaze and said , " So where are we going tonight ? "​

With his brows furrowed , Bo Ye Zhu looked up at the night sky , but could see nothing - he had not yet learned the skill of judging the time by looking at the sky .

The real person looked at him , and his scattered thoughts gradually gathered . He pulled up Bo Yezhu 's hand again until their skin was touching each other and the gaps between their fingers were deliberately filled , and then he felt a trace of satisfaction .

" Just patrol as usual , " he said , looking at Bo Ye Zhu . " There 's still about four hours until dawn . "

Bo Yezhu yawned . A lot of things happened today , especially the high tension when he met the Ghost King . In addition , he got up early in the morning , so now he was beginning to feel tired .

The orange eyes looked at the road ahead . Because of the selections over the years , many flat paths had been trampled out on the mountain .

The boys rest during the day and avoid or fight ghosts at night . It has been a while since they entered the back mountain , and they do n’t know if they will meet them .

" By the way , what does the lord mean ? " He remembered the question he had just thought about and turned to ask the real person .

The master was stunned when he heard this , and after a moment's reflection , he said , " I ca n't say for sure ... Perhaps something requires us to go to Tengxi Mountain , or perhaps we ca n't return to headquarters tonight . "

Although it seems more inclined to the former , I inexplicably feel that the latter is more likely .

Usugaba Nagisa hissed , " Is it because we ran into Muzan Kibutsuji tonight ? "

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong . The Crow came before Muzan appeared . It was impossible for the lord to predict the future .

Moreover , Ubuyashiki Teriyaki 's words were also vague .​​​​

The real person frowned . It was not impossible to predict the future in the world view of Demon Slayer . He didn't remember much information about the Ubuyashiki family .

Or is it that some powerful ghost really appeared on Tengxi Mountain ?​​

Uroba Nagisa continued , " After we finish patrolling Fujiki Mountain tonight , is that enough time for us to call it a day ? "

They walked hand in hand on the path . Now it was Bo Ye Zhu who was holding a red umbrella and Zhenren who was holding a lantern . The wind blew through the woods , making a hoarse sound .

The real person 's voice sounded erratically : " Yes . "​

The terrain of Tengxi Mountain is complex . After leaving the edge surrounded by wisteria flowers and stepping inside , you can smell the breath of ghosts at any time .

There 's someone nearby ...​

The real person 's gaze fell on the front , and he gently squeezed Bo Yezhu 's soft palm . Noticing the slightly hesitant steps of the person next to him , he shook the small lamp in his hand , swaying the shadow in front of his steps a few times .

The first sound was the sound of chaotic footsteps , followed by the boy 's cry : " Ahhhhhhhhhh ! "​

A conspicuous golden - orange head appeared in front of the swaying tree shadows . The real person raised his eyebrows . He did n't expect to meet the second protagonist so soon .

Bo Yezhu also heard the shouting coming from far away , which sounded particularly ... heart -wrenching . He opened his mouth slightly and looked at the young man who appeared from the bushes in front of him .

" Stop chasing me ! " Zenitsu Agatsuma was running wildly on the rugged mountain road . He did n't know how he got surrounded by several ghosts . The sudden appearance of the cannibal ghost scared him half to death .​​

He ran without a second thought , and in his panic he didn't even notice that he had gone in circles and was running back the way he came .

Two tall figures appeared in the blur ahead , and Agatsuma Zenitsu 's eyes lit up . This figure was obviously human ! There was no mistake !

" Ah ! You too— " Pushing aside the branches , Zenitsu Agatsuma emerged , smiling brightly with enthusiasm and excitement , but his expression froze when he saw the clothes on Usugaba Nagisa and Masato .​​​​

Shifting his gaze upwards , he first met a pair of cold , strange eyes . The other person didn't seem surprised to see him , and their cold gaze fell on him , as if he had become a commodity for everyone to look at .

Agatsuma Zenitsu swallowed and looked at the silver-haired young man next to the young man with heterochromia . This man had a much kinder expression , and his pair of orange - yellow eyes looked at him curiously .

The two men were wearing the uniforms of the Demon Slayer Corps , but they did not carry the Nichirin swords . Instead , one of them was holding a lantern and the other was holding an umbrella . They were wearing the same haori , but their appearances were different . They were holding hands , which looked very strange . However, compared to the blue -haired young man , the other one seemed much easier to talk to .

After Bo Ye Zhu glanced at the mess on his body , a faint smile appeared on his face .

" Did you encounter a ghost ? " He was taller than Agatsuma Zenitsu , and at this moment he bent slightly and looked at the young man .

What a special hair color , just like the sun . Usugaba Nagisa's eyes gently fell on the ends of Agatsuma Zenitsu 's hair .

Agatsuma Zenitsu shuddered and finally remembered the vicious cannibals he had just encountered . He turned around suddenly , but found that there was nothing behind him , not even a ghost .​​​​​​

The ghost that was chasing me just now actually left like that ?​

He looked at the two men again and asked suspiciously , " Are you from the Demon Slayer Corps ? "

Bo Ye Zhu nodded . " Yes , I have a mission tonight and need to inspect Fujixi Mountain . "​

" But you do n't even have weapons ! "

" No need . " The real person glanced at him .

Agatsuma Zenitsu choked , a thought dawning on him . He suppressed the urge to ask further questions and introduced himself : " My name is Agatsuma Zenitsu , and I 'm participating in the final selection . "

He looked at the silver-haired young man holding an umbrella . The man nodded and said , " I 'm Bo Ye Zhu , and his name is Zhenren . "

The real person held a lamp , the warm light shining on his face , and nodded .

Nagisa Usuga looked at the gloomy mountain path behind Zenitsu Agatsuma , his sight blocked by the bushes . However, seeing how anxious the young man was just now , he thought he had encountered a ghost . Coincidentally , the route ahead was also the one they were going to patrol .

" Let 's keep going . " Zhenren guessed what Bo Yezhu was thinking correctly and spoke .​

" Well , then , goodbye . " Urobe Nagisa looked at Agatsuma Zenitsu with a smile on her face .​​

Agatsuma Zenitsu watched two men , much taller than him , walking back toward the path he had been chased by the demons , and couldn't help but remind them , " There were four or five demons over there just now . "

The two extremely close figures did not stop . Bo Yezhu glanced sideways and smiled : " It 's okay . "

The red umbrella shook , and Zenitsu Agatsuma 's attention was instantly captured . By the time he reacted , the two people had already disappeared into the mountains and forests .

Those two look strange ! Agatsuma Zenitsu stroked his chin . " But since they said they were here to patrol Fujikiyama , could they kill demons ? "​​​​

At least if you follow them , the probability of encountering ghosts will be much smaller , right ?

Walking along the mountain road , the real person glanced sideways thoughtfully , his peripheral vision glancing behind him . Bo Yezhu noticed his movements and asked , " What 's wrong ? "

" The man just now seems to be following us . " Zhenren turned around and said to Bo Yezhu .​

" Haha , that's quite clever . " Bo Yezhu shook the red umbrella and raised an eyebrow . " It 's like borrowing the umbrella 's power . I wonder how far the umbrella 's effect reaches . "

The real person was silent for a moment , then realized that Bo Yezhu seemed to have not realized the purpose of the umbrella . He asked him hesitantly , " Did n't you read the book in your study ? "

" Books ? Those who are interested will read them . " Bo Yezhu looked at him and curled his lips . " I do n't really like reading . "

" What's wrong ? "

Meeting Bo Ye Zhu's puzzled gaze , Zhenren opened his mouth , but the words he wanted to ask were stuck in his throat , neither going up nor down . Finally , he reluctantly answered his previous question : " The umbrella 's range is not large , only a few dozen meters , but if you open the umbrella , the effect is completely reversed . "

If the umbrella is closed , ghosts will hide unconsciously . If the umbrella is open , ghosts will smell the dried blood and attack frantically .​​

You know , Bo Yezhu 's own blood alone is as attractive to ghosts as rare blood .​​

The red umbrella is 90% off , and the layers of blood lines make the blood of the Thin Leaf Tribe even more attractive .

Bo Ye Zhu opened his eyes wide . He had opened his umbrella just now !

" It seems that there are no ghosts nearby , otherwise we would be besieged . " He sighed and shook the red umbrella , and said to the real person .

All the records about the red umbrella were placed in the box that locked the red umbrella . Zhenren didn't expect that Bo Yezhu really did n't read any of it . After hesitating for a moment , he still asked : " How did Zhu come up with the idea of painting me on the umbrella three years ago ? "

" Well . " They just walked out of this mountain road and headed towards the top of the mountain . The moonlight was scattered all over the ground . Bo Yezhu paused , kicking the pebbles with his feet , and continued after a while .

" It's an inherited memory . " His gaze drifted for a moment , and he shrugged . " My bloodline is too thin to paint a normal person anyway , so I 'll just paint what I want . "

Because of the urgent need , the fragment flashed through his mind , and Bo Yezhu made up his mind without thinking too much .​

He looked at the real person , who also looked at him with his eyes downcast . Bo Ye Zhu shook the real person 's hand in return , pursed his lips and smiled at him : " Are you feeling embarrassed ? "

The real person was stunned .

Bo Yezhu laughed , finally understanding why this man had a vague awkward emotion after seeing the umbrella . His eyes were bright , and it was hard to tell whether it was the moonlight or his eyes were just like water .

He said : " Why should we bother with so much ? "
