Chapter 46 : New Station At the end of last summer , Bo Ye Zhu was still ...

At the end of last summer , Bo Ye Zhu was still a Xin- level swordsman . Most of the missions he performed were patrols , and there were very few ghost -killing missions .

On the one hand , there were many of his peers at that time . Although a group of them had died after a year or two , there were still many . On the other hand , there were not many demons at that time , or in other words , there were not many demons appearing in front of the Demon Slayer Corps .

As for the number of ghosts , Bo Ye Zhu actually had no idea . If there was a mission , he would complete it with the real people . If there was no mission , he would just patrol every night . After a quarter , there would be a training period .

Then the areas were reassigned . For example, before he arrived at the headquarters , he was under the command of Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu , and the area he patrolled was also the area that Tomioka Giyu was responsible for .

In just one year , he would never have imagined that he would become a Class C swordsman .

The peach tree in the yard has leaves of vibrant green in the sun . Bo Yezhu holds the watering can , wondering how much water to give .​

The real people were rummaging through the wardrobes in the room inside , thinking they would just take a few sets back to headquarters .

The mission of investigating the train is estimated to take half a month , and half a month is approaching autumn . After the train mission is completed , we have to return to the headquarters , which also saves the trouble of carrying a bunch of clothes to the base .

Bo Yezhu was busy running around , watering all the flowers and plants in the yard , and also weeding with tools . However , he was afraid of accidentally breaking the branches of the flowers and plants , so he did n't clean them carefully .

These jobs are usually done by real people .

It was around one or two in the afternoon when they came back , and it took less than an hour for them to pack up their things . However , they hadn't been back for over half a month , so the house still needed to be cleaned .

The real people checked the windows of the utility room , worried that a mouse might get in . They had suffered a loss a few years ago and it took a lot of effort to pull the mouse out .

The window of the utility room faces the street behind the house , which is very deserted . The real person reinforces the windows once a year , and they are all glass windows . At the beginning of the year , he added another layer of glass .

Make sure the utility room is sealed tightly .

There were many boxes in the room , most of which contained Bo Ye Zhu 's things . Zhenren stood in front of the window , looking at the marks on the glass window and frowned .

He saw obvious scratches , marks that could not be made by human limbs , which almost pierced the first layer of glass window .

If it's not a human , then it can only be a ghost . Their house is very close to the downtown area , and it is impossible for wild beasts to appear . Even a wild cat doesn't have such great strength .

The real person stood up straight , his expression a little cold .

There was almost no smell of ghosts , which meant that a long time had passed . It could be inferred that not long after they left home last time , the ghost had come near the yard and tried to scratch the window of the utility room .

What 's in the utility room ?

The real person tilted his head and looked at the layers of boxes in the utility room . The things inside were basically sorted by him . The curse spirit had a good memory . After recalling it , he was sure that there was nothing inside that would attract ghosts .

But there are still a few boxes that have been there from the beginning , similar to the boxes that contained the red umbrellas , and they have been placed in the corner .

He frowned and walked out of the utility room . Bo Yezhu was squatting beside the pond , teasing the small fish in it - they bought them when they just came back , and they heard that they were a kind that was easy to raise .

" What's wrong ? You 've been in the utility room for a long time . " Bo Ye Zhu tilted his head to look at Zhenren , and noticed that Zhu Ling 's expression was a little ugly , so he asked .

" The utility room window shows signs of being scratched by a ghost , " Zhenren said to Bo Yezhu while standing in the corridor . " I 'm going to walk around outside to see if there are any other clues . I 've checked the kitchenette and bedroom , but nothing unusual is there . "

After thinking for a moment , he added , " I 'd better read it again . "

When Bo Ye Zhu heard about the ghost , he also frowned . " Is there a ghost ? But recently , Master Shui Zhu has been in charge , and the staff has increased a lot . "

Zhenren : " The traces have been there for a long time . I guess they were left a few days after we returned to headquarters . "

They haven't been back during this period , but they haven't heard of any casualties among ordinary people in Asakusa . After all, it 's their home , and Zhenren has been paying attention to the news .

Bo Yezhu stood up and said , " I'm going to go visit the neighbors and ask if there 's anything strange happening lately . "

He grew up here . Although he never left the house before , he has gotten much better in recent years and his relationship with his neighbors has become much more harmonious . In addition , Zhenren would go there from time to time to send gifts to build relationships , so Bo Yezhu soon got some gossip .

The housewife who lives next door said that there had been cat sounds in Bo Ye's house for some time , but she saw that there was no light in Bo Ye's house , so she thought it was a wild cat that had run into Bo Ye 's house to build a nest .

cat ?

Bo Ye Zhu returned home and told Zhen Zhen about it . The two of them went to the utility room to study the scratch together .

The real person checked the yard inside and out and found no other traces .

The two of them stared at the scratch . Bo Ye Zhu stroked his chin and said , " Is it really a cat ? But a cat can scratch glass . Its claws are too sharp . "

He looked around : " Is there anything in here ? I did n't put any food in it . "​​

The real person shook his head . " There 's a ghostly presence . It 's almost gone , but I can sense it lingering near the yard . "

It's not a cat . Bo Yezhu was a little disappointed . He was really looking forward to the scene where a lost kitten would fall into a trap .

They were about to leave again , and the real person was sure that no ghosts would appear nearby for at least ten days . Bo Yezhu thought for a moment and said , " There's nothing valuable in the house , and the ghost wo n't be found either . Why not just forget it for now ? "

" Valuable things ... Ah Zhu , do you have any things related to ghosts ? " Zhenren looked at the corner of the utility room , where there were several boxes piled up , all of which had been in the utility room before .

Bo Ye Zhu followed his gaze and said uncertainly , " It should n't be there . There are a lot of things in there from childhood , as well as some things that were inconvenient to take with us when our family moved . "

The real person also took a quick look at it at the time , and there were actually quite a few objects he didn't recognize .

" When we moved , well , it was inconvenient to take the rewards from the palace out of Tokyo , so they 've been kept with me . They were n't much , but now I do n't mind them . "

Bo Yezhu walked over and Zhenren helped him pull out the boxes , which were not locked . He brushed off the dust on the surface and opened the boxes .​

The dusty items inside were his childhood toys , as well as some things packed in exquisitely crafted small boxes , which were rewards from the palace in the past , and some gifts from generals .

He opened them one by one and examined them , then confirmed , " Nothing special . Could that ghost be interested in treasure ? "

The investigation yielded no results , so the two men had no choice but to let the matter go and prepare to return to headquarters .

After being delayed for a while , Bo Yezhu originally planned to go out for a walk , but now that time is shortened , he simply went back to the headquarters to rest before going to the mission location .

The two of them walked much faster than usual and returned to the headquarters before dusk . Zhenren went to pack the clothes and daily necessities they would need for the next half month , while Bo Yezhu went to the restaurant to get two easy- to - carry dinners , intending to eat them on the way .

" Yin said that it would be faster to go directly to the station and take a bus there . There is a small transfer station over there , and we should be able to catch the latest bus . " Bo Ye Zhu was waiting for Zhenren at the door , and said to him after seeing a familiar figure coming over .

In fact, the real person had almost packed up his things in the morning , and it didn't take long to pack up . The setting sun in the sky was blood-red , and there might be strong winds tomorrow .

After hearing what Bo Yezhu said , he nodded and said , " Let 's take a car . Walking at night is tiring . "

It takes less than half an hour to walk from the headquarters to the nearest station if you walk fast . As expected by Bo Ye Zhu , they caught the last train .

It was getting dark outside and night had fallen . Warm yellow lights were on inside the train . There were n't many passengers on this train , but there were quite a few people sitting in each carriage . The attendant was selling bento boxes .

Bo Ye Zhu was eating the dinner he had packed from the restaurant , while Zhenren was looking at the information Yin had handed to them before they set off .

In fact, there is only one person in the accident on the train , but the swordsman in charge of that area said he saw traces of a ghost and realized that it was not something they could deal with , so he notified the headquarters .

There may be something wrong with the train , but there is still one confirmed ghost , which means that the worst case scenario is that multiple evil ghosts appear at the same time .

Masato still remembered the plot of Infinity Train and knew that the person on the Infinity Train was Nightmare , the Lower Moon One . He looked at the information thoughtfully and recalled the previous encounter with Nightmare in the wild .

He was sure that Nightmare was seriously injured that time .

However, the plot of Infinity Train continued as usual .

The Curse Spirit 's eyes deepened . The mark he left on Nightmare had not yet been activated .​​​

The journey didn't take long . Twenty minutes later , the train arrived at the station . Bo Ye Zhu had just finished his dinner , packed up his things , and got off the train with Zhen Zhen along with the crowd .

This place is much more remote , but also closer to the base . They walked out of the station and then walked outside the town for less than half an hour before arriving at the Flame Pillar 's base .

The resident was already waiting for them . When he saw them , he bowed and said , " Mr. Bo Ye , Mr. Zhenren , please follow me . "

He walked ahead , talking to Bo Ye Zhu and the others : " There are a few rooms here at the station . Master Yan Zhu asked us to arrange a larger room for you . "

Although his face was covered , one could still hear some nervousness in his words .

Bo Ye Zhu heard it and smiled : " It 's okay , we lived together before . "​

Hearing what Hōba Nagisa said , Yin felt relieved and continued , " Master Flame Pillar is out ghost hunting tonight , hoping to find another rogue demon . The train had another accident today and is currently out of service . You can check the repair shop for any clues . "​​​

He brought two people to a row of houses . Bo Yezhu took a quick look and saw that there were only seven or eight houses . There were indeed not many people at the Flame Pillar 's residence .

Yin opened the last room , which was large enough for two people to live in . What Bo Yezhu did n't expect was that there was a private bathroom inside .​

" If you want to eat , you still have to go to the restaurant in town . There is a small kitchen here at the base that the swordsmen can use . Because there is no chef , the headquarters provides meal subsidies to every swordsman at the Flame Pillar base . " Yin said a number .

Bo Yezhu opened his eyes wide : " So much . " It's enough for them to hire a chef to cook every day .

Yin smiled . " We usually have quite a few missions here , and they 're quite dangerous , so after careful consideration , we 've decided not to set up a cafeteria . "

Their main mission at the Flame Pillar's base was to investigate the train incident , but other patrol and demon -killing missions also had to be carried out . After putting down their luggage , Uroba Nagisa and Masato were ready to set off .

Yin looked at the real person with empty hands - no , he was holding a lamp , and hesitated for a moment . It was the first time he met Bo Yezhu and the real person , so naturally he didn't know the real person 's habits .

However , when he saw the Nichirin Sword on Houye Zhu 's waist , he strangely understood them : I guess they shared the same Nichirin Sword .
