Why is the health bar displayed in the world?

"Kanae-san, are you here to see me because of Shinobu Kocho?"

"Yes, that's Shinobu's personality. Please be more tolerant, Li-san. Please!"

Butterfly Kanae clasped her hands together, closed one eye, and cutely asked Li Mo for a favor.

Did she come here for Kocho Shinobu? Did my attitude towards her look scary?

Li Mo said: "I won't get angry with a child, and I think an angry Butterfly Shinobu is quite cute."

Kanae Kocho fully agreed with Li Mo's evaluation of Shinobu Kocho and gave her a thumbs up.

As they chatted, they talked about their families. It was mainly Li Mo who asked and Butterfly Chanae who talked.

"Speaking of which, is your mother not feeling well? I see that you and Shinobu Kocho usually cook together."

"Yes, my mother is in poor health. It seems that she has a chronic illness from her time in Tokyo. And after giving birth to me and Shinobu, her health has become even worse."

During lunch, Li Mo saw the mother of Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu. The mother who gave birth to such a beautiful embryo was a very beautiful person, but her skin was a little pale, and it was obvious that she was in poor health.

"Kanae-san, what exactly is the situation regarding the disappearance? I mean specifically."

"To be specific... everyone went up the mountain during the day, and then someone disappeared in the shadows..."

Li Mo asked Butterfly Chanae about the disappearance. The other party did not ask the reason, and told the story slowly in a very soft voice. The recent disappearances all happened in the mountains during the day. And everyone disappeared at the same time, which made people feel scary.

"I understand, Kanae-san. If I haven't woken up yet at dusk, please wake me up." Li Mo said.

"I understand, Li-san."

The conversation between Li Mo and Butterfly Kanae came to an end. But as the girl left, another "tomboy" sneaked out from the corner and approached Li Mo.

Shinobu Kocho stood in front of him and said, "Are you planning on hitting on my sister? I have to tell you. This is impossible! You are not worthy of my sister! You are already that old!"

Li Mo said: "I am very self-aware of this. I am not worthy of a woman like Chanae-san."

"That's right. It seems that you are not completely useless!" Shinobu Kocho nodded, looking satisfied.

Li Mo smiled evilly and said with evil humor: "But if Butterfly tolerates you, then there will be no problem. For a girl as rude as you, only an older unmarried person like me is willing to marry you."

"Pervert." Shinobu Kocho kicked Li Mo and then left amid Li Mo's laughter.

Escape in a panic.

After seeing off Shinobu Kocho, Li Mo returned to the guest room and prepared to go to bed.

Just before falling asleep, he began to think cheerfully.

According to Doctor Butterfly, those two people are most likely members of the Demon Slayer Corps. I don't know what level of ghost hunter they are, so are there still ghosts here? At night, try to keep watch.

Li Mo thought like this before falling asleep.

……

……

Sometimes, people are suddenly awakened from their sleep. Maybe the cause is thunder and lightning outside, or maybe there is no cause at all.

When Li Mo woke up, the light pouring into the room from outside was no longer sunlight, but moonlight.

Is it night time now? I am still in the same room as before. Good, nothing is missing. No, why didn't anyone wake me up? Did something happen?

He immediately checked his belongings and found that nothing was missing. Even the axe was beside the bed, and Li Mo slowly came back to his senses.

Being alone outside for so many days, Li Mo's first reaction every time he woke up was to check if his things were still there. He could easily trust the Kamado family because he knew the people in the Kamado family.

I can't be sure of other people's personalities, and there are many who do evil things for money. You must be on guard against others.

Li Mo didn't want to be a victim.

"Don't think too much, just go and ask Kanae-san and Kocho-shinobu..."

Once again, Kocho Shinobu is only nine years old now. She is still in elementary school. Seeing that his paper wife in his previous life is now a little kid, Li Mo doesn't know what to say.

——Don’t worry about her. Just treat her like a child.

"Maybe Kanae saw that I was resting well, so she didn't wake herself up. I should have told Shinobu Kocho earlier. She would definitely wake herself up."

Thinking of the scene of me teasing Shinobu Kocho before going to bed, the little girl must have been holding back a lot of anger.

Then... go out.

In just a moment, Li Mo's expression collapsed. The courtyard was very quiet, and the moonlight from the sky sprinkled on the ground. The breeze blew, bringing the smell of blood into his nose.

Bloody smell.

Li Mo, a part-time hunter, was no stranger to the smell of blood. Last night, he had smelled a strong smell of blood in the ruined temple. It was the scene of ghosts eating.

He didn't want to recall that scene. It was an extremely disgusting thing to watch a person being eaten half. Then he was angry, so he chased the ghost for a whole night and only gave up after it bathed in the sun.

Going back to the house and picking up his axe, Li Mo walked quietly towards the source of the bloody smell.

A bad guess was born in his mind.

Could it be that something really happened?

Chapter 19 Mutation

The main hall of the Butterfly House is where the Butterfly family receives guests. In the past, people in the village would come here if they had a headache or fever. Occasionally, people from other villages would come here to see a doctor. There were quite a few people who came to see a doctor at night.

Doctors are kindhearted. Doctor Butterfly is a thoughtful person. He treats everyone equally, whether it is farmers working in the fields or miners digging in the mines.

Only with such a father can he lead by example and raise someone like Kanae Kocho.

Therefore, he would not refuse any patient who came to see him. Identity and time would not be a factor.

Shinobu Kocho used to be proud of her father for this, but now she feels a little resentful towards her father.

The story begins this evening, not long after the sun sets, a patient comes to the Butterfly House and says he wants to see a doctor. Judging from the other person's pale face, Mr. Butterfly is not suspicious.

Then, the nightmare began.

The person who came was not a human, but a "ghost".

According to legend, when night falls, man-eating evil ghosts will emerge from the darkness and attack humans everywhere. They have no deep hatred with humans, but just eat humans.

They are more brutal than wild beasts.

Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu saw it very clearly.

After entering the room, the other party attacked directly, and the hand with sharp nails pierced his father's heart. What he didn't expect was that his father actually grabbed his two hands before he died and locked him tightly in front of him. Then it was his mother. This weak woman told her sisters to hide aside, and she took the farm tools placed there and smashed the man's head.

——However, it didn’t work.

Even if the monster's head was smashed, it could recover quickly. Seeing this, the mother called the two to run away, but the monster was guarding the door and it was difficult to climb over the ventilated window.

The two children hesitated for a moment, but just because of this hesitation, their parents died tragically at the hands of the monster and lost the chance to escape.

In just a few minutes, both parents died one after another, but the monster in human skin was still standing there intact.

Then, the eating began.

Nausea and retching.

It was a scene with a huge visual impact. Seeing with one's own eyes a monster covered in human skin feeding on humans was an extremely disgusting scene.

Kocho Kanae felt her stomach starting to churn, probably like boiling water.

Kanae, you have to be strong. You have to find a way for your sister to survive.

"Bear. I'll give you a chance later, and then you have to run out, understand? Go tell everyone to be careful."

Kocho Kanae told her sister that her parents had died one after another, and now it was time for her to protect her sister. It was her hesitation that wasted the chance for her parents to escape.

At least... let Shinobu survive.

"Sister...don't." Shinobu Kocho pulled Kocho Kanae's clothes.

The two sisters were now in the corner of the room, with furniture blocking the way between them and the evil ghost. But they both knew that with this distance and this barrier, they could not stop the other party.

"Oh——?" The ghost who was eating raised his head. He was a young man in his twenties, with a pale face, short stature, and looked frail and sickly.

Despite his appearance, he is actually a man-eating "ghost".

He said, "Why are you so impatient to die? Even if I run away and call as many people as possible, it doesn't matter, because ordinary people are just my food. You can't kill me."

Immediately, he grinned, blood flowed on both sides of his mouth, mixed with saliva, and dripped onto the ground. He said in a ferocious voice, "You can go call the man who went up the mountain with this man this morning. I saw with my own eyes this morning how he killed one of my people. That man was really ruthless, beheading and cutting, he was really decisive."

“I think he must be delicious.”

That man?

Shinobu Kocho thought of the dusty man this morning. He was covered in dirt and leaves, and it looked like he was running madly in the forest and then fell. She also exposed his lie, saying that he was not fighting with the beast, but was being chased by the beast.

Is he fighting this kind of ghost?

Doesn't that mean that this kind of evil ghost can be killed?

Shinobu Kocho's eyes lit up.

"Shinobu, don't be anxious." Feeling Shinobu's emotions, Kanae Kocho said soothingly.

She didn't know why the ghost said that, but...she instinctively felt that something was wrong. How could an enemy teach its opponent how to kill itself?

But I have to admit that the other party is right. Everyone in the village can't deal with this evil ghost. Seeing the scene of its head regenerating, the villagers will lose their will to fight. If it is the mysterious Li Sang, maybe it can be done.

Butterfly Chanahui remembered that at noon, that Li Sang told her to wake him up at dusk. Unfortunately, when dusk came, she saw that he was sleeping so soundly that she did not wake him up.

Did he anticipate the danger that might arise?

Did I do something wrong?

Kanae, don't think about that. Now think about how to get your sister out.

Kanae, you need to calm down.

"I'm not lying to you. That person is the only one in this village who can kill me. Of course, why don't you try to shout? Maybe that person will hear you and come to save you. I'd be happy to see this scene."

Ghost, said with a smile on his face. It looked innocent, but with the blood as a backdrop, it became very weird.

The light of the oil lamp reflected on the girl's cheek. Butterfly Kanae said, "It's no use doing that. There was a lot of noise here before, but no one has come yet."

With her sister's comfort, Butterfly Shinobu suppressed her intention to make any noise.

The noise was quite loud before... Let's not talk about the villagers? What about the Chinese man named Li Mo? Wasn't he resting in the guest room? How come even he didn't hear the noise?

"What a smart girl. It doesn't matter if I tell you that this room is covered by my barrier. No sound from inside can be transmitted to the outside, so no matter what happens here, no one will hear it. Isn't it desperate? In fact, you should have escaped at the first moment, but you wasted this opportunity."
