Chapter 48: Even if the extra carriage only flashed by...
Chapter 48 The extra carriages were only a fleeting sight ...
Even with the fleeting sight of the body structure , Bo Ye Zhu keenly sensed the two-headed ghost 's fatal weakness . The heads had to be chopped off at the same time , and a second injury had to be inflicted to prevent resurrection .
The third knife accelerated the dissipation of the two - headed ghost 's filth .
Bo Yezhu closed his eyes slightly and stood up . He heard hurried footsteps from behind . He turned his head and saw Zhenren running out of the waiting room in a hurry .
There was a rare change of color on the curse spirit's face .
" A ghost just came out . " Bo Yezhu said , looking at the filth on the ground that had not yet disappeared .
The real person breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the short- haired young man was safe and sound. Then he seemed to sense something and turned around . On the platform , the last train had just arrived .
" There's a ghost on the train . "
The decisive words made Bo Yezhu 's expression change . He raised the Nichirin Sword , flipped his wrist , and the blade drew a graceful arc and returned to the sheath perfectly . Two figures hurried into the waiting room .
Bo Ye Zhu took advantage of the situation to dispose of the garbage on the chair .
Zhenren went to buy two tickets and got on the train before it started .
After years of contact with ghosts , Boye Zhu became sensitive to the breath of ghosts . As soon as he got on the car , he faintly smelled a fishy odor , and his handsome brows frowned .
They walked one after another towards the back half of the train . Every time they passed a car , Zhenren 's cold eyes swept through the car , especially the corners of the connecting cars .
However, they found nothing even after walking all the way to the penultimate carriage .
The seat was in the second-to -last carriage , which had only a few people in it and was separated from the last carriage by a curtain .
Bo Ye Zhu looked at the black curtain .
After a moment , he looked away and sat down with the real person . The Nichirin Sword was placed on the table , making a sound that was neither loud nor soft .
The real person lowered his eyes and extinguished the lantern . The night outside the car window was as dark as ink . The moon could be vaguely seen floating in the thick clouds , occasionally revealing a ray of bright light .
The bright yellow light in the carriage was quite bright .
The flame of the lantern was completely extinguished , but the lamp oil was still hot . Zhenren 's fingertips touched the wall of the lamp , and it separated at the touch , and he placed it next to the Sun Blade .
The conductor came over , took a look around , checked the tickets , and then went to the last carriage .
He lifted the black curtain .
The real person was facing the flight attendant , staring at him with his gray-blue eyes . When he saw the pitch- black area behind the black curtain , his eyes flashed .
Bo Ye Zhu resisted the urge to look back and asked Zhenren what he saw with his eyes .
The curse spirit 's expression was not very good at all .
The black curtain dropped , blocking the real person 's sight once again . He withdrew his gaze and whispered to Bo Ye Zhu , " Dead man . "
It's not a ghost , it's a dead person .
The last car ?
Bo Ye Zhu frowned . No wonder the odor became stronger and stronger when he sat here . If there were dead people in the last carriage , with the corpses piled up together , it was no wonder that there was a strange smell .
But ... He looked toward the window and saw his own reflection clearly . It was pitch black outside . Incidentally , he also saw the passenger opposite him - he was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed , drowsy .
There is nothing unusual about these people .
The real person thought about it and decided to wait and see . There was a ghost on this train , and he had already smelled the scent , but it was unknown when the ghost would act , whether it knew that there was a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps on the train , and how it would act .
The investigation mission requires recording every detail , so they do n't have to rush to eliminate the ghosts .
But if the ghosts are right in front of you , that’s a different story .
Zhenren was much more sensitive to time than Bo Yezhu . After about ten minutes , he looked out the still pitch- black car window and realized that he might have been hit by a blood demon technique .
The number of casualties on the Infinity Train has so far been only a few .
If the incident is to escalate , a large number of people will definitely be sacrificed .
Is it tonight ?
But - this train is not the Infinity Train .
The Infinite Train is being inspected at the repair shop , and this train can at best be considered a colleague of the Infinite Train .
Zhenren stood up and glanced inside the carriage , and found that all the passengers were leaning against the backs of their seats or the walls of the carriage , sleeping with their eyes closed .
Usugaba Nagisa raised the Nichirin Sword , turned his head , and also noticed the strange phenomenon in the carriage . He continued to look forward , which was the carriage they had passed when they came .
There was no one in the aisle .
Only the sound of train wheels rolling over the tracks could be heard around .
“ It ’s coming . ”
The real person narrowed his eyes and looked up at the black curtain .
He wasn't sure if this train would suffer the same fate as the Infinity Train , where the entire train was a manifestation of ghosts or something , meaning there was no hope .
The chewing sound echoed in the quiet carriage .
Bo Ye Zhu put his thumb on the Nichirin Sword and exerted force , pushing the blade out . He was originally sitting in front of the real person , but after standing up and turning around , he was facing the black curtain .
The ghost appeared unexpectedly .
The black curtain was blown and lifted , and five or six evil spirits rushed out together . The floor of the carriage was shaking slightly , but the passengers in the carriage were still sleeping soundly .
Twisted and deformed creatures .
The blade passed by in an instant , and Bo Yezhu placed his hands on the hilt . Zhenren stood behind him , with the cursed power surging around him . He vaguely sensed that the cursed power had a second destination .
The amplitude of that soul resonance appeared again .
Complete markings appeared under Bo Ye Zhu 's ears . His eyes were heavy and he raised the Nichirin Sword in his hand , with the blade facing the five or six evil spirits . There were even more demons hiding in the last carriage .
He didn't know whether it was the splitting of a ghost or whether this train had become a purgatory for ghosts .
He only knew that as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps , he had to kill them .
There are so many humans behind me .
The blade suddenly changed color , and under the bright yellow car light , it was pure black that reflected no light .
The young man 's figure moved instantly , like an arrow from a bow . At the same time , the real person raised his hand and closed his heterochromatic pupils .
The technique is ready to go .
" Form 4 · No Dust · Rolling Sea— "
The densely moving blades were like rolling waves on the sea , sweeping through the dark carriage in the blink of an eye . He did n't care whether he was chopping off a ghost or a corpse . Under the impenetrable sword light , even dust could not escape death .
The tip of his teeth pressed against the wavy blade , stirring up invisible cursed energy . The moment the Sun Blade touched the living creature , the technique was activated , and the transformation and strangulation of the cursed spirit was completed in an instant .
In a short period of time , more than a dozen blades were swung out , and each one required the real person's precise output of cursed power . The curse spirit had a calm expression . Although it was the first time he tried combined sword techniques with Bo Ye Zhu , the two of them cooperated seamlessly .
After being transformed into cursed spirits , the exorcised ghosts and dead bodies instantly exploded , leaving the last smelly carriage empty .
Bo Ye Zhu stood in the dark carriage . The only light came from the carriage behind him . Zhenren stood there , his eyes fixed on his back .
However, he did not look back , but swung the Sun Blade and poked a hole in the tightly closed door at the end of the last carriage .
With force on his wrist , Houye Zhu drew out the Sun Blade , and a strong wind poured into the carriage . Suddenly , the lights in the carriage above his head flickered , illuminating the interior where blood was splattered .
The remaining limbs and blood told them what happened here .
The real person walked over , and the lantern in his hand was lit at some point . He looked at the dirty tables and chairs around him , and frowned .
Bo Yezhu turned around , his strength almost exhausted from swinging his sword . Zhenren walked over and held him up , whispering , " This car doesn't belong on this train . Let 's go first . "
The short- haired young man's face turned slightly pale . He nodded and was half- hugged and half- embraced by the real person as he walked out of the last carriage .
The moment he stepped away , the carriage behind him disappeared .
Bo Ye Zhu turned his head and saw a locked wooden door , which was the standard feature of the last carriage of the train .
The real person also noticed it , and a thought flashed across his face .
They sat back in their seats , and a few more rays of moonlight came through the car window , illuminating the rapidly receding scenery .
Bo Yezhu leaned back in his chair , his eyes slightly closed , his chest heaving . The previous knife attack had exhausted him greatly , not to mention that he had already performed a breathing sword technique before getting in the car .
After a while , he recovered , opened his eyes , and met the worried gaze of the real person .
The real person was slightly stunned when he saw Bo Ye Zhu open his eyes . There was no fatigue or fear in those orange - yellow eyes , only endless excitement .
" When I used the Si form at Natian Spider Mountain before , the effect was nothing compared to what I just did . " Bo Ye Zhu took a breath and said to Zhenren .
He could see Zhenzhen 's perfect control of his magical powers , which made him even more excited . He grabbed Zhenzhen 's hand and said , " If Zhenzhen were always by my side , my swordsmanship would definitely be completely different from before ! "
He had discovered the secret of combining breathing swordsmanship with magic , and put it into practice , achieving quite a popular effect .
The real person touched the back of his hand , which was still warm from excitement . The curse spirit lowered his eyes and said , " Swordsmanship is very exhausting for Azhu . "
Bo Ye Zhu nodded somewhat embarrassedly . " Yes , it 's probably because my physical condition has n't kept up . Breathing sword techniques place very high demands on a swordsman 's body . "
" Are there still ghosts here ? " He looked around . The passengers were still asleep , but there were more conversations in the car in front , and the strange smell in his nose began to dissipate .
The real person felt it carefully and suddenly turned his head . Bo Yezhu followed his gaze and opened his eyes wide in surprise .
About two or three meters outside the car window , they saw a pitch -black crow walking side by side with them . Its black eyes seemed to be looking at them , and also seemed to be staring at the road ahead .
The crows are coming !
Bo Yezhu leaned over and took a closer look at the crow . Recognizing it as a real one , he muttered , " Is it following me all the time ? The train 's going so fast , do n't get tired . "
The real person smiled without comment . The outside was the body of a crow , and the soul structure inside could be changed at any time . Just now , when Bo Yezhu used the spell to kill the ghost , this clone absorbed all the negative emotions that exploded .
Not to mention being tired , even having the clone following me all the time doesn’t even feel like being tired .
The train whistle sounded .
Zhenren stood up and walked around the aisle of the carriage with Bo Yezhu . After making sure that there were no ghosts hiding , they returned to their seats .
After all this trouble , we are almost at the terminal .
Amidst the roar , the train pulled into the station . The sleepy passengers were awakened , bent down to pack their luggage , and got off the train one after another .
Bo Ye Zhu and Zhenren mixed in the crowd and went out to look at the clock hanging on the pillar . It was almost dawn .
" Are we going back ? "
" Let's take a walk around here. If I remember correctly , this is also a transportation hub . Maybe we will find something unexpected here . " The real person turned around and looked at the train with lights on . The carriage they were sitting in was the last one .
Who tampered with the extra carriage we just got on the train ?
