Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

"Nie Douzi, I must save you!"

"Hang in there, once we get to town, there will definitely be a way."

However, just as Tanjiro was struggling to move his feet in the snow, he suddenly noticed that the Beans on his back moved.

This huge surprise made him speak up.

"Nie Douzi, you're awake."

However, Tanjiro's surprise was not met with a response.

Instead, the little bean behind her began to struggle violently.

It struggled while making strange roars.

"Hehehe—"

Tanjiro was unaware that Nezuko, whom he was carrying on his back, was undergoing a terrifying transformation.

Her eyes were wide open, with only the whites of her eyes visible. A pair of sharp teeth sprouted from her roaring mouth, and even her fingernails began to become sharp and pointed.

In his struggle, Tanjiro did not realize that he had come to a narrow path with a cliff beside it.

The fierce struggle of the pea caused him to slip.

"Whoosh—"

With a sudden feeling of weightlessness, Tanjiro and Nezuko plummeted straight down the cliff beside the path.

"Thump—"

Looking at the pure white sky above and the soft ground beneath him, Tanjiro was somewhat stunned.

"The snow saved me!"

But he quickly came to his senses.

"Where are the beans?"

He quickly got up to look for it.

After spinning around suddenly, Tanjiro finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze lingered on the trunk of a large tree not far away, where Mi Douzi, his clothes disheveled and stained with blood, stood there blankly with his head down.

Tanjiro rushed over, his eyes filled with worry.

"Nie Douzi, you were scared, weren't you!"

"I'm glad you're alright."

"Don't worry, I'll take you to town."

However, in response to Tanjiro's worry, Nezuko suddenly looked up and lunged at Tanjiro with a ferocious expression.

Tanjiro was shocked to discover that Nezuko's eyes were bloodshot, veins were bulging on her face, and she had sprouted a set of sharp teeth, making her look completely unlike her usual self.

Seeing Nezuko roaring and charging towards him, Tanjiro didn't have time to think. He immediately took the axe hanging from his waist and used the handle to block the two of them.

"Snap!"

With a sharp crack, Nezuko's sharp teeth were deeply embedded in the axe handle, and Tanjiro was also knocked down onto the snow.

Tanjiro was horrified when he saw Nezuko in this state.

His mind involuntarily recalled what Grandpa Sanlang had said when he stayed overnight the night before.

"A ghost! A man-eating ghost!"

"Is Ne Douzi a cannibal?"

But then Tanjiro's mind was filled with every scene of Nezuko from birth to the present.

It was so heartwarming, so real.

He did not hesitate to overturn his own conjecture.

"No, that's not right!"

"Nie Douzi is a person."

"I was born human."

Tanjiro frowned as he looked at the Nezuko in front of him.

"The taste of the beans has definitely changed."

He recalled the scenes he had witnessed at home.

"Nie Douzi is also a victim."

"Just like her mother, she collapsed while protecting her younger siblings."

There was no blood on his mouth or hands.

"As for the taste, that taste..."

However, at that moment, Tanjiro was surprised to find that Nezuko's pressure had increased, and the axe handle began to make a "creaking" sound.

"It's changed, it's gotten bigger!"

"The beans have gotten bigger!"

"Their power is also growing stronger."

At that moment, Tanjiro was suddenly overcome with grief and filled with self-reproach.

"While I was peacefully sleeping in someone else's house, such a tragic thing happened to them."

"Niedouzi, you must be in a lot of pain!"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't save everyone."

Despite the self-blame and pain that brought tears to his eyes, Tanjiro's heart remained steadfast.

He was determined to cure Nidouzi no matter what.

But the reality is that neither he nor the axe handle stuck in Midouzi's mouth can hold on much longer.

Nezuko's strength grew stronger and stronger, so much so that cracks appeared in the hardwood axe handle, and Tanjiro felt as if his arm was about to break.

Looking at Nezuko's ferocious face, Tanjiro shouted loudly while tears streamed down his face.

"Go, Nezuzi!"

"You must endure it, lest you become a ghost!"

Hang in there, keep going!

"I will definitely save you."

Faced with Tanjiro's shouts, Nezuko seemed to finally respond. Her ferocious face softened slightly, and large tears fell from her bloodshot eyes, landing on Tanjiro's face.

Tanjiro was overjoyed to see this.

But the next moment, Tanjiro couldn't hold on to the axe handle either.

"Click—"

With the axe handle broken, there were no longer any obstacles between Tanjiro and Nezuko.

Nezuko's sharp teeth were about to fall on Tanjiro's neck.

In that split second, Tanjiro suddenly showed a look of horror and fear on his face.

Tanjiro's fear wasn't of Nezuko's sharp teeth that were about to pierce his neck.

Instead, he suddenly appeared in the air, dressed in red and green, holding a long sword, with a cold face as ruthless as a god of death.

The man raised his long sword, like the scythe of death, and was about to slash down at the base of Mi Douzi's neck.

At this moment, Nidouzi seemed to sense something and tried to turn around to look.

"Watch out, little beans!"

However, at that very moment, Tanjiro disregarded his own safety and pushed Nezuko aside, exposing himself to the sharp blade.

"Um?"

Tomioka Giyuu, who was in mid-air preparing to annihilate the demon before him with a single strike, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He never expected that his sure-fire strike would be dodged in such a way.

The person attacked by the ghost saved the ghost!

This is truly unheard of and unseen.

Just as the sword meant to slay the demon was about to strike Tanjiro...

Giyu Togashi swiftly sheathed his sword in the blink of an eye, the blade grazing Tanjiro's scalp, a strand of hair flying everywhere in the wind and snow.

"I survived! I survived!"

Although he survived, Tanjiro dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately rolled over with Nezuko in his arms until he crashed into a big tree and came to a stop.

Meanwhile, Lin Bei finally caught up with Tanjiro and Nezuko.

But he didn't appear immediately. Instead, he carefully hid behind the trunk of a large tree, watching the two sides confronting each other in the wind and snow. He frowned slightly and muttered to himself:

"not good!"

"We're still too late; they've already run into each other."

Since what happened last night, Lin Bei has felt extremely guilty.

After all, knowing the plot, he should have been perfectly capable of helping Tanjiro's family avoid the tragedy of being killed by Muzan.

However, he let his guard down while living a warm life with Tanjiro's family, forgetting that this was a world where demons ate people.

Even according to the plot, he knew that Giyu Tomioka was a cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside person, and that he would eventually be moved by the bond between Tanjiro and Nezuko.

Not only did they not kill Midouzi, they also showed the two the way.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

They dared not gamble with the lives of Tanjiro and his sister by taking advantage of others' kindness.

Lin Bei knew then that he had to prepare to confront Giyu Tomioka.

He also knew that with his current strength, he had absolutely no chance of winning against Giyu Tomioka head-on.

The only hope is to catch Giyu Tomioka off guard.

Therefore, he had to be patient at this time.
