"this..."

He took a few steps forward, and then his knees suddenly went weak. Link hurriedly went forward to support Mrs. Kamado, and held her in his arms nervously and worriedly. At this moment, Aoizhi in his arms burst into tears loudly.

Even Nezuko beside her started crying bitterly at this moment.

Link looked at the bloody scene in front of him with a slightly solemn expression.

In front of him were the bodies of Uncle Yamashita and the bear, and the axe that Tanjiro usually used to chop wood happened to hit the bear's head.

It was obvious that this was a crime scene deliberately created by Qi Aza.

There was no one seeing Tanjiro at the scene, so it is likely that he was taken away by Giyu Tomioka.

Just by taking a few glances at the scene, without Qi Wozu's report, Link had a general understanding of the details of the matter.

174. Let’s live together from now on

Link looked at the scene quietly. The wind and snow were still blowing, and as a result, the footprints had been almost completely buried, making it difficult to see any clues.

However, looking at the shattered haori and the axe, Link couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

The fragments of the haori and the axe are the best proof.

At this moment, Aoi Kamado in his arms and Nezuko Kamado who was kneeling on the ground on the other side were both crying in despair and helplessness.

This made Link feel very sorry, but continuing to cry here would not help the matter at all.

Therefore, Link decided to intervene.

He held Aoi in his arms and spoke softly at this moment: "Madam, Nezuko, please take a good look. The dead man in front of you is not Tanjiro!"

As expected, the crying of the two girls suddenly stopped at this moment, and then Nezuko and Aoi were also shocked to discover this fact.

Yes!

The clothes this dead man was wearing were definitely not Tanjiro's style of clothing!

"Seeing that he was holding a sheathed dagger in one hand and an envelope I left for him in the other, I thought he must be someone from the foot of the mountain. However, for some reason, he went up the mountain last night..."

Link stated his guess without hesitation, "So... Madam, and Nezuko-sister, you are lucky that you were not here before he came... Otherwise, it is really unimaginable what such a sinister guy could do..."

The mother and daughter's faces turned pale at this moment, and then they looked nervously at the small dagger held tightly in the corpse's hand.

Then, my heart started to feel cold and my whole body was filled with chills.

Link continued, "If I'm not mistaken, he must have known from some channels that there is no man in this house now. In other words, it is very likely that he learned it from Tanjiro. In this case, it is very likely that he was the one who took Tanjiro in last night at the foot of the mountain, and then, after seeing Tanjiro fall asleep, he immediately sneaked up the mountain."

"It's just that I didn't meet you guys, but I ran into this bear."

Link said calmly.

"Bear?!"

Link nodded and continued to explain quickly, "It was because of the encounter with the bear that you were eaten into this state. However, afterwards, Tanjiro Kamado seemed to be worried about you, so he secretly climbed up the mountain again, and then saw the bear eating people, and then fought with the bear, which left behind the broken pieces of the haori and the axe..."

"Tanjiro, will Tanjiro be okay?"

At this moment, Kuizhi, who was holding Link's clothes nervously, raised her head and looked at Link pleadingly.

Nezuko, who was standing aside, was looking at Link with hope, nervousness and fear at this moment.

It was obvious that the mother and daughter felt that there was nothing wrong with Link's inference.

In fact, during this period of time, Link has shown a very reliable image, so in this extremely critical and tense moment, they naturally think that what Link said is correct...

I also have great faith in Link's judgment!

It was for this reason that they wanted to hear that hint of "possibility" that Link said so that they could feel at ease.

Link hugged Aoi gently and fell silent.

Mrs. Aoi, who felt Link's action, and Nezuko, who was completely unaware that this situation was actually quite strange, both of their pretty faces turned pale in an instant.

It’s not because of Link’s intimate behavior of holding Aoi in his arms, but because of the metaphorical meaning of this behavior.

Even Nezuko didn't react. Normally, a man who is not her father shouldn't hug her mother like this.

However, at this moment, both mother and daughter focused their attention on the missing Tanjiro, which is why they behaved like this...

"The bear died here, but Tanjiro's body was not found here. This is enough to show that Tanjiro must have been injured after fighting with the bear, and then happened to be found and rescued. Perhaps, there is still a possibility that he is still alive!"

Link said softly, cheering up the two pale-faced women in front of him. Under their rather nervous and pleading gazes, he nodded softly and said, "I will use my own methods to search the mountain thoroughly and find the person alive! This is my guarantee, Madam Aoi, and Sister Nezuko, please believe me, I will definitely give you an explanation. After all, to me, Tanjiro is also my family!"

Aoi looked at her lover with tears in her eyes, while Nezuko looked at her fiancé with an extremely gentle look in her eyes.

"As for now, I must escort you down the mountain and back to my place to stay. This mountain is very unsafe. Then, I will let the guards search the mountain with me!"

After stroking the beautiful face of Madam Aoi, whose pretty face had flushed as she reacted, Link looked at Nezuko, who was gradually feeling something was wrong, and interrupted her thoughts, saying, "Let's set off now! The smell of blood is too strong here, and we can place the bodies later. There are also some clues that we must wait for the guards to arrive so that we can detect them more thoroughly. Now, every minute we stay, we will be in danger!"

"it is good!"

The mother and daughter agreed to Link's proposal without any resistance. Then, the two of them went down the mountain in a daze, with Link holding each of their hands.

In the current situation, this decision is obviously the best.

And it is obvious that, just like now, using words to establish one's own reputation and image, and subtly improving one's presence and effectiveness, will make Aoi and Nezuko more and more dependent on him.

So that you can no longer leave yourself.

This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, isn't it?

Tanjuro Kamado of the Kamado family died of illness first, and then the eldest son Tanjiro Kamado disappeared, and the other male members were all arranged by Link to go to boarding school.

In this case, Aoi and Nezuko are completely separated.

Also, Hanako, who was able to go home from school every Friday, was separated.

From now on, there will be no more male members of the Kamado family who will get in the way of Link.

What this means is self-evident!

Moreover, Link can not only gain points in Aoi's heart through this incident, but also start Nezuko's capture plan...

Tanjiro, I have to say, disappeared at the right time!

Therefore, since the father and eldest brother of the Kamado family are either dead or missing, and all the pressure of the family is shared equally by the mother and eldest daughter, as a "family member", how could Link stand idly by?

"In that case, from now on, I will take good care of you..."

Link didn't say anything, but just murmured in his heart, holding the mother and daughter's hands a little tighter.

175. Madam Ruka

During this period, not only Link made rapid progress, but with a clear goal, the efforts of Kitaro, Douma and Hantengu also achieved considerable results.

Moreover, through the exploration of the 'eyes' made by Naruto, the residences of many members of the Demon Slayer Corps were also found.

Although the base of the Demon Slayer Corps has not been found yet, judging from the current progress, it is probably only a matter of time.

"Master Link, I have lived up to your expectations. I have just found the residence of the Flame Pillar for you."

At night, in the infinite city.

Link was standing next to Muzan's laboratory table, watching her trying to make a potion using specimens of blue red spider lily. Mingnu gently played the pipa in her hand and spoke to Link in front of her.

"Oh? How is it, is Ruhu still alive?" Link turned around and asked with interest.

"Yes, she is still alive, but according to the current information, her health has been very poor since the birth of her youngest son, Senjuro, and I guess she doesn't have much time left."

"It doesn't matter, just bring her back and let Muzan transform her."

Ruka was a rare and beautiful wife, but she had been in poor health since giving birth to her youngest son, Senjuro, and later she was bedridden.

But she still insisted on personally teaching the Kyojuro brothers how to behave in society. Unfortunately, she fell seriously ill and died soon after. Her death also hit Rengoku Makijuro hard, and he became decadent from then on.

In the anime, Ruka has already passed away and only appeared in the memories of Kyojuro and his brothers.

Now that there is an opportunity to change the fact that this beautiful wife died, then naturally we have to do it.

"So, Lord Link, who are you going to let go? Qiwoza?"

"Qi Akaza? No, against the old Flame Pillar, Qi Akaza might have no problem killing him, but bringing back a living Ruka is probably unlikely."

After Link thought about it for a while, he simply said, "Forget it, I'll go there myself. Mingnu, teleport me over."

"Yes, Master Link, I wish you the best."

Mingnu responded, then reached out and gently played the pipa in her hand.

The next moment, Link's body disappeared in front of her.

When Link came to his senses, he was already in a dark alley, and next to him, the 'eye' made by Mingnu disappeared again.

"This ability is really useful."

As Link thought about this, he walked out of the dark alley, and what appeared before him was a bustling city.

......

"Madam, you are not feeling well. It is getting late now. Why don't you go back first?"

"I won't get seriously ill if I'm blown by the night wind... cough cough cough..."

The people who were talking were a young couple.

The man was wearing a black Demon Slayer Corps uniform and had shoulder-length orange hair with the tips of his hair glowing red like burning flames. He looked very majestic and imposing, and the white cloak draped over his shoulders was a symbol that only the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps had.

Under the white cloak, there are flame stripes.

The woman was a beautiful young woman, but her face was a little pale. She had smooth black hair tied into a braid and hanging down in front of her chest, an extremely dangerous hairstyle for a wife.

After all, in the world of Japanese anime, wives with this kind of hairstyle often don't have a good ending.

Just like now, they met Link.

Following the perception of his observation Haki, Link quickly found them and recognized who the two people were at once.

This is the current Flame Pillar, Rengoku Makijuro!

And her wife, Rengoku Ruka.

In the original time and space, she suffered from heart failure after giving birth to her second son and eventually passed away early.

Because of her death, Rengoku Makijuro stopped making progress and became addicted to alcohol, while his son Rengoku Kyojuro took on the responsibility of a pillar and became independent early.

Now that I have met her, I find that she is indeed a rare beauty!

At this moment, Rengoku Makijuro's expression changed slightly as he sensed Link emitting a surging aura in front of him.

Then, his eyes turned slightly cold.

"Such a strong... aura..."

Passersby around cannot feel it. To them, they may just feel a cold wind blowing around them.

But Rengoku Makijuro felt the oppressive feeling and aura of a strong man released by Link!

That invisible pressure was like a ferocious tiger, constantly pressing towards him!

Rengoku Ruka's face turned even paler at this moment.

"Madam, please stay away from me. The other party might be coming for me!"

Rengoku Makijuro spoke softly at this moment, his eyes fixed on the figure of the man in front of him. His intuition had clearly told him that the guy in front of him was an enemy, not a friend!

At this time, his wife Rengoku Ruka pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and quietly stepped back.

"This is not a wise choice. Are you so confident that you think you can kill me while I am protecting your wife?"

Link turned his head at this moment and spoke softly.

"Breathing of Fire, Form One!"

Looking at Link, who was not very old, Rengoku Makijuro sneered. After seeing his wife take a few steps back, he confirmed that releasing the Breath of Fire would not hurt her. Then, Rengoku Makijuro's body flew out as fast as a cannonball.

The sword inserted in the hilt of the waist sheath was pulled out at this moment. The sword body was red and wrapped in flames at this moment. The words "Evil Demon Slayer" on it were also red at this moment as if they were burning.
