Tanjiro looked puzzled upon hearing Makomo's words.

"Let's go take a look."

Su Mu laughed at this moment: "Although it is very impolite to disturb others in the middle of the night, we can't let ghosts break into this house and destroy this happy family."

As he spoke, he looked at Tanjiro.

One night, this demon broke into Tanjiro's house, causing great panic to Tanjiro's family.

Tanjiro sensed the adult's gaze, but a smile appeared on his face.

Once, an adult, disguised as a ghost, broke into their home, plunging the family into despair. But in the end, they discovered that the adult had not actually harmed anyone in the family.

That ghost that wantonly destroys other people's happiness is cruel, but the adult, although also a ghost, is completely different.

Su Mu led Kanao by the hand and walked forward. He had originally intended to knock on the door.

"My lord, let me do it."

Tanjiro spoke up at this moment, recalling the scene of the adults barging into his house, and felt that he was more suitable to speak.

Su Mu turned around, glanced at Tanjiro, and smiled, "Alright."

Tanjiro took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gently knocked on the door.

"pat, pat..."

A gentle knock sounded in the cozy home, causing the male homeowner to look up and reveal a pair of scarlet eyes.

Chapter 150 shows everyone begging for mercy for the ghost—what a beautiful and moving scene!

"Clap, clap."

The sound of knocking on the door echoed in the cozy home, and the family of three couldn't help but look up at the door.

Living deep in the mountains, few people would visit at night.

Therefore, they did not pay attention to it immediately.

"pat, pat..."

The knocking on the door became more urgent, and at the same time, a boy's gentle voice came: "Is anyone home? Please open the door."

"Dad, let me go take a look."

Seeing that his father showed no intention of getting up, Kenzo Yamashita raised his head and looked at his father.

Yusuke Yamashita did not answer, but simply lowered his head.

Seeing that his father had no objections, Kenzo Yamashita, being quite sensible, ran to the door and cautiously opened it a crack.

Through the crack, Kenzo Yamashita saw the person knocking on the door—a boy wearing a shirt with green and black checkered patterns.

The boy had deep red hair and red eyes, a noticeable scar on his forehead, and sun-shaped earrings on his ears.

Seemingly noticing Kenzo Yamashita's peeking, the boy revealed a friendly smile.

"Please open the door, it's very important."

Tanjiro's voice is very gentle.

The boy hesitated for a moment, then glanced back at his father sitting in the chair. Seeing that his father didn't seem too welcoming to these people, and that his tone was somewhat harsh, he said, "Sorry, it's too late. Don't linger near my house..."

"I have something very important to tell you."

Tanjiro grew impatient. Seeing that the boy, whose door was ajar, still showed no intention of opening it, he lowered his voice and said, "A demon might have broken into your house. Your family is in great danger. Please open the door. If something happens..."

Before the boy could reply, 'Yamashita Yusuke', who was sitting in the room, also raised his head, his eyes becoming increasingly bloodshot, and his hands, hidden in his sleeves, gradually turning bluish-black.

However, it showed no sign of moving.

The boy turned around and, in the flickering candlelight, saw his father's hand, which had been hidden in his sleeve before being revealed.

The hand that was once normal had turned bluish-black, and the fingernails that were once normal were now as sharp as the claws of a wild beast.

At that moment, Kenzo Yamashita couldn't help but recall the increasingly unusual behavior his father had been exhibiting recently.

I don't know when it happened, but my father has already become...

Not the same.

It seems to have become the ghost that outsiders are looking for...

"I don't care who you are, please don't knock on my door late at night. No ghosts can sneak into our house, and there are no ghosts in my house..."

Kenzo Yamashita turned around and, through the crack in the door, angrily shouted at Tanjiro, who was standing outside, "Let's go!"

"boom."

After saying that, he immediately slammed the door shut through the crack and bolted it shut.

"Dad, I won't let anyone from outside in."

After bolting the door shut, Kenzo Yamashita approached his father: "It's alright... I've already chased away the people outside."

"Ah."

Yusuke Yamashita nodded, looking at the faint fear in his son's eyes, then turned to look at his wife, who was still completely unaware of the situation, and lowered his head slightly.

"clatter……"

Large tears dripped from the corners of her eyes and fell to the ground with a soft sound.

"Dad, why are you crying?"

Kenzo Yamashita couldn't help but step forward and ask with concern.

"boom……"

With a muffled thud, the door was smashed open, and Tanjiro walked in with his sword in hand, his gaze immediately falling on the man sitting there.

"Get away from him quickly, he's a demon."

As he spoke, Tanjiro swiftly stepped forward, pulled Kenzo Yamashita behind him, and simultaneously slashed Yusuke Yamashita with his sword.

Yu Yamashita, who was sitting in a chair, suddenly stood up and threw the chair at Tanjiro while simultaneously retreating.

With a single slash, Tanjiro cleaved the thrown chair in two, but missed the demon. He stomped the ground with incredible speed, ready to launch another attack on the demon, but after only two steps, he stopped in his tracks.

The boy who had spoken to him through the crack in the door earlier hugged his waist tightly and shouted urgently at the ghost, "Dad, run, run!"

The voice was filled with worry and concern for the ghost, but not with any fear of it.

Immediately, the woman in the kimono realized what was happening. Although she didn't quite understand what had happened, she roughly knew that the man with the knife in front of her wanted to kill her husband. She almost immediately knelt down in front of Tanjiro, who was holding the knife: "Please, don't hurt my husband. He is a good man, very gentle. He won't hurt anyone."

Tanjiro gripped the hilt of his Nichirin Blade tightly. The concern shown by the women and children for their husbands reminded him of his father, Tanjuro Kamado.

The boy's feelings for his father are probably the same as his own feelings for his father in the past.

"Dad, run!"

Yusuke Yamashita tried his best to hug Tanjiro's waist. Although he was not as strong as Tanjiro, his wrists were quickly pried off. However, he still tried to hold on tightly, determined not to let Tanjiro, who was holding a knife, hurt his father.

With his bloodshot eyes, Yusuke Yamashita glanced at his wife kneeling and begging for mercy, then at his son holding Tanjiro, his bloodshot eyes filled with reluctance.

Then, almost without hesitation, he leaped towards the window, broke through the window, and was about to escape outside.

"pat..."

Footsteps sounded behind Tanjiro. Su Mu led Kanao into the house, and upon entering, they were met with a messy scene in the room.

The boy clung to Tanjiro's waist, trying to stop him, while the woman knelt before Tanjiro, begging for mercy.

They were all begging for mercy for the ghost.

What a beautiful scene.

What a touching scene!

He didn't give chase, but looked out the window and said softly, "Run away, run away. If you run away, what will happen to your son? What will happen to your wife?"

"Roar……"

The fleeing footsteps in the distance suddenly stopped.

Meanwhile, in the grass further away, Makomo, who had intended to take advantage of the oni's approach to launch a surprise attack and sever its head with a single stroke, had to restrain himself because the best opportunity had not yet arrived.

The ghost stopped and turned around to look at the house. In the flickering lamplight, it saw the man standing at the door, holding the girl's hand.

I sensed a familiar aura emanating from the other person.

"You...are a ghost too?"

Yusuke Yamashita's voice was filled with doubt.

"Oh?"

Su Mu raised his eyes, looked at Yamashita Yusuke, and said in a mocking tone:

Am I a ghost?

Then he shrugged slightly: "How come I didn't know I was a ghost?"

As he spoke, he looked at Kanao, whom he was holding hands with, and asked gently, "Kanao, what am I?"

"It's your uncle."

Kanao muttered something.

Hearing Kanao's words, he raised his head and looked at Yusuke Yamashita: "You're the demon who recently murdered and cruelly devoured an entire family, aren't you?"

As he spoke, he looked at the boy clinging to Tanjiro's waist, then at the woman kneeling and begging for mercy, seemingly deep in thought: "Tell me, what would it be like if such a tragic thing happened to your family?"

"I was thinking... you must be very sad, very grief-stricken, very painful, right?"

As he spoke, he turned around and saw Yamashita Yusuke standing there again, his body trembling: "Run! Why did you suddenly stop running?"

"I won't chase you; you'll probably run away."

"Really, you really can escape."
