"Leaving it alone won't work, so let the sunshine take care of you."
Ke Ling made a decision, and then he went inside and searched around. Soon, he found some hemp rope that he could use.
Ke Ling easily lifted the "female ghost" and hung her directly in front of the woodshed with a hemp rope. The rope was tied very tightly, ensuring that the ghost would not be able to break free.
"I'm so sorry, this is the last thing I can do for you."
Ke Ling sighed. Hanging this "female ghost" here was actually to prevent her from becoming the next perpetrator. She probably didn't want to become that kind of monster herself.
"If I have the chance, I will avenge you."
Ke Ling felt great sympathy for this family's plight. As an orphan himself, Ke Ling was also deeply moved by the touching bond between them, and he even felt a little envious.
This is also why he was willing to do so much. Although they lived in a remote mountain forest with few people, this family must have lived a very happy life before they died.
After finishing all this, Ke Ling didn't linger. He quickly left and returned to the cave following the marks he had made.
Although the wooden cabin can provide shade from the sun, sharing a room with a bunch of "delicious food" is really too much of a challenge for Ke Ling's self-control.
Moreover, he still felt safer in the cave than in the wooden house.
Given Ke Ling's current appearance, if she were found among a pile of corpses, she would certainly have no chance of successfully defending herself.
When the time comes, he'll be squatting in the wooden hut, and they could just set his shelter on fire and leave, leaving him there to stare and wait to die.
Even if he were discovered in this cave, he wouldn't be completely passive. They couldn't just move the mountain above his head, could they?
Driven by this thought, Ke Ling returned to the cave. When he arrived, the sky outside was already beginning to lighten, as it was quite early in winter these days.
"A night that's hard to describe."
Sitting back down against the rock face, Ke Ling reflected on what he had gained from the night's outing.
The main gains were discovering a system characteristic, solving the problem of food, and learning that the "Demon King" Muzan Kibutsuji might still be roaming nearby.
As for the question of "how to upgrade", there is still no progress, but that's not his fault.
He didn't encounter a single living creature all night; the only creature that might provide experience points was a ghost he couldn't kill.
"Now I just hope that after that female ghost dies from being exposed to the sun, she can share some of her experience with me. After all, I did contribute."
Ke Ling began to daydream. Now he was unsure about the experience calculation of the [Limit System], so maybe it would actually work?
"Forget it, I'm not going to think about things I can't control anymore. I'm not hungry today, so I can't keep sleeping here. I need to get to work!"
Dispelling his fantasies, Ke Ling stood up. He couldn't go out during the day, but that didn't mean he couldn't do something in this cave.
"Start with a set of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run."
Ke Ling looked at the size of the cave and decided that the 10-kilometer run was out of the question; he should just stay in place instead.
"Forge yourself! Forge yourself! Even with a system, we must not give up on self-improvement!"
While "adding points" is indeed very satisfying, getting stronger through your own hard work is also quite rewarding; you can have your cake and eat it too.
The sun outside continued to rise as usual, unaffected by anyone's will. Ke Ling began her daily training plan inside the cave.
Of course, this training plan will definitely need to be modified, since Ke Ling's physical condition is now very different from before, and the intensity is already a bit too low.
"Hoo~ho~ho~"
Ke Ling adjusted his breathing and kept sweating. Although he was not a professional athlete, he loved sports and fitness and his training was somewhat methodical.
However, not long after Ke Ling's training began, an unexpected incident occurred: a scent he had smelled before appeared near his temporary base.
"Is this Tanjiro Kamado?"
Ke Ling stopped what he was doing. This time he realized that the aroma belonged to Kamado Tanjiro.
"Huh? And that female ghost too?"
After smelling it again, Ke Ling frowned. What kind of combination was this? Wasn't the protagonist of this anime a demon hunter?
Ke Ling rubbed his temples, trying hard to recall the information he had seen related to "Demon Slayer".
He usually forgets things he's not interested in as soon as he sees them, and now that he needs them, he has to rummage through the garbage of his memory.
"Have it!"
Ke Ling clapped his hands, and he actually found it in the trash heap. It seems that this Kamado Tanjiro has a sister who has become a demon, and he always has a bamboo tube in his mouth!
"Hello! Are you still inside?!"
Just as Ke Ling thought of this, Tanjiro Kamado's voice came from outside the cave.
""
Ke Ling fell into an awkward silence because he realized that the "female ghost" he had hung up was very likely Tanjiro Kamado's sister!
"Excuse me! I'm coming in!"
This time, Tanjiro Kamado didn't wait outside for a response; he hurriedly took the "female ghost" into the cave.
After Tanjiro Kamado entered the cave, Ke Ling finally met him in person, and sure enough, the "female ghost" was biting on something that looked like a gag.
"If I said that I didn't kill your family members, and that I hung your sister up out of kindness, would you believe me?"
After facing Tanjiro Kamado, Ke Ling spoke first, feeling that the misunderstanding really needed to be explained, as he didn't want to be blamed for it!
"I believe."
Tanjiro Kamado answered crisply and decisively, so quickly that Ke Ling was a little taken aback.
"Forehead"
Ke Ling was speechless, but then he noticed something: why did Tanjiro Kamado seem to be without a weapon?
"Please! Mr. Ghost! Please tell me how I can make my sister normal again! I'll do anything for you, even eat me!"
Under Ke Ling's suspicious gaze, Kamado Tanjiro immediately bowed deeply, performing a full salute.
The young man spoke very sincerely, saying that he was willing to give his life if it could bring his sister back to normal, as an atonement for his failure to protect his family as an older brother.
Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!
Chapter 5 You're challenging fundamental physics!
"This"
Tanjiro Kamado's bizarre actions left Ke Ling completely dumbfounded.
Unfortunately, for Ke Ling, who lives in modern China and has only ever paid homage to Heaven and Earth, and has never even had the chance to pay homage to her parents, this habit of kneeling and bowing at the drop of a hat is indeed hard to get used to.
However, considering the limitations of the era and Tanjiro Kamado's motives for doing so, it seems not entirely incomprehensible.
"You get up and talk first."
Ke Ling felt helpless and quickly reached out to help the child up.
But the moment Ke Ling reached out, the "female ghost" who had just been following Tanjiro Kamado with a blank expression suddenly moved.
The female ghost blocked Tanjiro Kamado's path, her face full of anger, as if she wanted to protect him.
"Nezuko, it's okay, he's not a bad person."
Tanjiro Kamado quickly stood up, pulled his sister Nezuko Kamado behind him, and earnestly explained to his sister, who had already become a demon.
"How do you know I'm not a bad person?"
Although she knew that asking this question felt like deliberately picking a fight, Ke Ling was genuinely curious about why this boy was so certain that he wasn't a bad person.
Given his current state, Ke Ling himself doesn't have the confidence to say he looks like a good person. Not only has his charm been reduced by ten points, but he doesn't even have a complete set of clothes on him right now.
Ke Ling's clothes are mostly intact except for his pants; his shirt is tattered and stained with blood, making him look like a demon.
"I judge by smell."
Faced with Ke Ling's question, Kamado Tanjiro immediately answered, appearing to be completely open and honest.
However, his sincerity only earned him a bewildered look from Ke Ling.
“My nose is very sensitive; I can distinguish the emotions of living beings by their scent. Although you have a strong smell of blood on you, I know you are not a bad person.”
Seeing Ke Ling's expression, Kamado Tanjiro knew that the other party had not understood, so he explained it further.
""
Ke Ling was skeptical of this claim, but because of Tanjiro Kamado's status as the protagonist, he was more inclined to believe it. As expected of the protagonist, he had the superpower to distinguish red names.
At this moment, Ke Ling also realized that this Kamado Tanjiro probably had not yet become a demon slayer.
After learning that Tanjiro Kamado was not yet a demon slayer, Ke Ling relaxed, relieved that the threat to her life was finally over.
He had no confidence in fighting a professional demon hunter in his current state, and the cooldown time for the teleportation function was still about 25%, which would probably not be completed until dawn at the earliest, making it impossible for him to escape.
"I'm sorry, young man, I'm afraid I can't help you. As you can see, I can't even solve my own problems."
But Ke Ling was truly unable to help the child with his request.
He himself escaped control through the [Limit System], and this girl named Nezuko Kamado obviously could not replicate his actions.
"Konezuko"
Hearing Ke Ling's words, Kamado Tanjiro was somewhat disappointed. He had placed high hopes on this demon master in front of him. After parting ways with the demon slayer named Tomioka Giyu, he brought his sister here.
"Are you trying to say why she looks like this?"
Ke Ling picked up the conversation, understanding what Kamado Tanjiro meant; this little sister did indeed seem a bit dull.
"Actually, I don't know much about ghosts. To be honest, I was turned into a ghost in the last couple of days."
After some hesitation, Ke Ling decided to tell the truth; he did have some goodwill towards this sincere and loyal child.
"So, Nezuko might return to normal in a couple of days?!"
Tanjiro Kamado made a deduction: even if he couldn't turn back into a human for the time being, it would be good if he could become as sensible as the demon in front of him!
“I didn’t say that. Maybe every ghost is different. When I first became a ghost, I wasn’t as well-behaved as your sister.”
Ke Ling had only ever seen three demons: Muzan Kibutsuji, himself, and Nezuko Kamado. How could he possibly understand the normal process of a human turning into a demon?
Moreover, even without thinking, Ke Ling knew that this Kamado Nezuko probably wouldn't be the kind of person who went through the normal process of becoming a ghost.
If this anime can be broadcast in our great Celestial Empire and remain popular without being banned, then Nezuko Kamado will never actually eat people again!
