The angry man's expression was almost completely distorted.

"Hahahaha, in the end it's just you who are useless. You're just a little brat, and your self-proclaimed powerful Zombie was killed. You're so useless, so useless. Can you really do anything?"

Next to the man, a man with messy black and green hair let out a low, artificial laugh, as if he couldn't bear it any longer.

"What are you laughing at? You're just a new [livestock]. Do you really think you're such a big shot?"

The man became even more annoyed and turned around to start cursing.

"Oh, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. It's not time for you to be anxious yet. Even though that brat doesn't look that good, he's still very strong. If you don't take it seriously, you might lose. If you lose, you'll become [Food], hehe."

The man with dark green hair chuckled, revealing a row of sharp fangs. The ugly face covered with black spots showed a vicious smile, which made the man, who was already in a bad mood, even more angry.

"Of course I will take care of them. Damn it, none of the three rescuers will survive today. As for you, your situation will not be much better. If you fail to stop the people and let them do something in the [building], do you think your fate will be better than mine?"

Taking a deep breath, the man in a suit, who looked no different from the office workers in modern society, spoke with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"So we are all in the same boat, right? Hehehe, we are all the same now. Our lives are not in our own hands. We are all miserable and may be thrown away like garbage at any time. Hehehe, so you have to work hard. You can ask me for help when you can't do it, hehehe——"

As a result, the man's ridicule had no effect at all. Instead of being angered, the man with dark green hair became happier and moved closer. He stretched out his hand and patted the man's shoulder, speaking seriously as if he was a good brother.

"Don't bother me. Tsk, I have many tricks up my sleeve. I haven't even opened the gift I prepared for the Taoist priest yet."

With a snort, he slapped the hand of the dark green-haired man away. The man in the suit closed his eyes, made a few seals with his hands, and then said "rise", waved his hand and pointed to a stack of white paper beside him. Then the paper turned into paper birds and flew into the air, flying directly towards the direction of the mental hospital.

At this time, more pale-faced zombies walked out of the apartment building, holding various weapons and even explosives, and approached the mental hospital.

As if this was not safe enough, the man bit his finger, took out a piece of bright red paper that he had carefully hidden on his body, and printed his blood on it. Then the paper unfolded in mid-air, turned into a beautiful woman's skin, and slowly flew towards the direction of the mental hospital.

"I want to see what you are capable of."

The man in a suit muttered to himself fiercely, while Tanjiro, who was still guarding the door of the ward, knew nothing about it. He just gradually felt a strange vibration coming from the ward, so that cracks began to appear on the surrounding walls.

Did something go wrong with the exorcism ritual?

The young man thought nervously, and at this moment in the room, as the woman called her child again and again, the situation of the young man on the bed was constantly changing.

At first, he was just howling in pain and shaking all over from time to time.

Then he began to cry out in even more pain, black blood began to seep from the corners of his mouth, and his entire face became increasingly distorted. He looked more like a terrifying ghost than a human.

Zhang Yuan's mother began to hesitate at this time, but then Uncle Lin shouted, "Don't stop, you are saving your child," which made the woman continue to shout her child's name after a slight hesitation.

The tremors in the ward had been contained to a certain extent, but the changes did not stop. It seemed that if one way didn't work, they would try another. The ventilation duct in the ward began to drip blood, and the temperature in the entire ward began to drop further.

"Did the backlash of the exorcism cause a reaction from the ghosts in the southern suburbs? It seems that his condition is more serious than I thought. Don't stop. Your voice is now the only connection between your child and the human world."

Uncle Lin said this as he walked towards the ventilation duct, intending to cast his spell again.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan's eyes, nose and mouth began to bleed, and he kept wailing, looking as if he was going to die in the next moment.

"Mom... Mom... Please... Stop..."

Looking up, the young man, with blood and tears streaming down his face, begged and shouted in a trembling voice.

"He is lying to you... I will die... I will die... Please... Mom... save me..."

Wailing and begging over and over again.

The young man named A Yuan kept begging, and the woman's expression became more and more unbearable.

"Don't be fooled, ma'am, it's the possessed ghost that's deceiving you."

Linglan quickly noticed the change in the woman's expression. At this time, Uncle Lin was busy dealing with the supernatural phenomena, so she quickly stepped forward, stood beside the woman and gave her serious advice.

"Mom...save me...don't..."

The young man was still begging heart-wrenchingly.

More and more crimson blood fell from the ventilation duct, emitting a pungent smell.

The woman looked at the young man's miserable appearance and couldn't help but shed tears. Her whole body trembled and she finally nodded in despair.

"Mom, don't shout anymore. I won't shout anymore."

The woman said this and reached out to pull off the string connecting the two people.

Chapter D-12: Youth: Hour of the Pig

Reaching out her hand and grabbing the thread, the woman was about to untie the thin thread between herself and Ayuan.

But Linglan, who was standing next to her and had already noticed something was wrong, reacted immediately. She reached out and grabbed the woman's fingers, preventing her from carrying out her idea.

"Ma'am, please don't do this. This won't save your child."

Lily of the Valley shouted anxiously, and the woman became hesitant for a moment. Seeing her child in pain, she didn't want to continue shouting, but she also felt that it would be a bad idea to stop now. As a result, she stood there hesitantly, not knowing what to do.

"Don't stop, keep shouting. If you stop now, something bad will happen."

Uncle Lin noticed the situation here and shouted quickly, but a severed hand fell from the blood falling from the ventilation duct, and suddenly grabbed Uncle Lin's arm, pulling him up in the air and trying to stuff him directly into the narrow ventilation duct.

A tearing sound was heard on the hospital bed. At the moment when the woman hesitated and did not continue to call out for her soul, Zhang Yuan's body immediately changed. It seemed that the possessed ghost had gone into a state of violence. It tore the restraint bed apart and tried to stand up and pounce on the woman and Lily of the Valley in front of it.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Lily of the Valley suddenly stopped the staff in her hand on the ground, making a clear sound.

The next moment, a blue field was released, completely covering the entire ward and the space dozens of meters outside the ward.

All hostile things were severely slowed down at this moment. No matter whether it was the person pulling Uncle Lin's severed hand or Zhang Yuan struggling to get up from the hospital bed, they were restrained by the huge force and unable to move.

"drink!"

With a fierce swing of the peach wood sword in his hand, Uncle Lin cut the severed hand into two halves with one blow, and then it fell to the ground. Two yellow talismans flew up and landed on the severed hand. At the moment of explosion, Uncle Lin jumped up again, reached out to take the empty jar on the altar beside him, put the severed hand into it, and then sealed the jar.

"Ma'am, keep going, this is your only chance to save your child!"

Lily of the Valley shouted again at this time, and the woman, who had seen her child transformed into a demon and was so scared that she almost collapsed on the ground, finally came to her senses at this moment, took a deep breath and continued to shout her child's name.

The exorcism ceremony on this side was in trouble, and Tanjiro who was guarding outside the door on the other side was not having a good time either.

"These things are..."

The yellow and white paper bird flew through the air at an incredibly fast speed.

The boy dodged sideways suddenly, but was scratched by a paper bird from the side, cutting his clothes on the spot, and his skin was also cut and began to bleed.

It’s the wings of these paper birds. The sharpness of these wings is no less than that of a sharp sword. Is it some kind of secret technique?

More paper birds flew out at this moment and flew straight towards the boy.

[The God of Fire Kagura: Round Dance! ]

He took a sudden step forward, and the blade spun and slashed out.

But the paper bird's shape suddenly became erratic, and the boy had no way of catching its trajectory, and only hit the air.

The mobility is so strong?

More paper birds suddenly fell, and Tanjiro had to speed up to dodge, turning around continuously in the corridor, stepping on the railings and walls to keep moving.

He swung the Sun Blade several times, but he was unable to hit any of the paper birds. Instead, they gathered more and more, with at least thirty or forty of them running around the corridor. Moreover, the wings of these paper birds were incredibly strong. Tanjiro saw with his own eyes that the wing of a paper bird passed by the wall and directly cut a long hole in the concrete wall.

I felt pain all over my body. My arms, shoulders, cheeks, and legs were all scratched by these paper birds.

If these things weren't so small, Tanjiro suspected that he would have been torn into pieces by them on the spot.

Don't panic.

We must not lose our composure now.

The exorcism ritual is still going on. This should be the enemy's method. We can't let these things interfere with Uncle Lin and Lily of the Valley.

Since these things are so fast——

In his mind, he recalled what a companion had taught him, about the breathing technique in Thunder Breathing that increased speed.

Tanjiro took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the Sun Blade in his hand, and rushed forward the next moment.

[The God of Fire Kagura——]

Dozens of paper birds gathered from all directions.

At this moment, the young man closed his eyes, and the Sun Blade in his hand spun violently along with his body.

【Flywheel Kagerou! 】

The next moment's continuous slashing caused the blade to tremble violently, leaving behind a large number of afterimages.

The paper birds that originally wanted to dodge the sword were unable to clearly judge the length of the sword swung by Tanjiro at this moment. For a moment, accompanied by the sound of tearing, more than half of the paper birds were cut off by the boy and turned into pieces of paper that had lost their magic power and fell to the ground.

Then the remaining paper birds wanted to continue chasing, but a blue field suddenly spread out from the ward, instantly freezing the paper birds in mid-air and unable to move, and then they were chopped in half one by one by Tanjiro.

"Thank you, Miss Lily of the Valley."

The young man who was speaking in a low voice took out a small gourd from behind him. After taking a sip, the wounds on his body began to heal quickly and disappeared in a few seconds.

Imitation wound medicine gourd.

This was something the Demon Slayer Corps' logistics team had spent a lot of time finding in the Savior Community Market. It was a very valuable item that could be mass-produced.

Its prototype seems to come from an ancient Japanese country called Ashina. The gourd itself has excellent healing effects. Although the recovery speed of the gourd medicine is extremely slow compared to the original, and the usage time is also much lower, it can basically only meet the needs of an F-level savior for about 3 times, but the advantage is that this kind of healing plant can be mass-produced and cultivated. Therefore, Tanjiro brought three imitation medicine gourds on this operation, and also prepared some Ashina's healing pills in case of emergency.

The enemy will not give up.

Tanjiro was very sure that after two consecutive attacks, his opponent would definitely attack again.

As expected, when Tanjiro was on guard cautiously, the same kind of zombies that he had encountered before suddenly began to pour out from both sides of the corridor. There were so many of them, and each of them was holding a different weapon.

But now, because these things were not fast enough and their brains were not very useful, they all stepped into Suzuran's territory one by one, and were given the power of slowness, causing their already slow movements to become as sluggish as a PPT, so that Tanjiro did not need to expend any effort to cut off their bodies one by one and make them lose their ability to move.

During this process, Tanjiro saw zombies holding knives, sticks, saws, axes and the like. There was even a zombie holding dynamite. After entering the fox fire field released by Suzuran, it tried to ignite it and throw Tanjiro away. However, as soon as he took out the lighter, the boy cut off his arm with a knife, and then chopped off his head, making him unable to move.

Being attacked from both sides by the paper birds and the zombies, if it weren't for the domain released by Miss Suzuran, I think I would have been in a tough battle now.

With such emotion in his heart, Tanjiro returned to the door of the ward holding the Nichirin Sword. He did not pay too much attention to the tattered appearance of the surroundings and continued to guard the door attentively.

It's not over yet.

The boy was quite sure that the battle was not over yet.

Although this round of attack brought a lot of danger, it was still a little short of threatening Tanjiro's life. He didn't think that this was the end of the attack. The opponent must have some follow-up moves that he hadn't used yet, and what he needed to do was -

「Wuwuwu……wuwu……」

I heard a sound that sounded like a woman crying.

The boy's eyes suddenly turned and looked to one side of the corridor.

In the pitch-black darkness where nothing could be seen, the cry of a young woman was heard.

Wait, when did the lights turn off in there?

Gripping the Sun Blade tightly, the young man became more alert at this moment.

「Wuwu……wuwu……」

The crying seemed to be getting closer, extremely sad and full of resentment.

Tanjiro's nose moved slightly, and he smelled a very unpleasant stench, which also contained some creepy and weird smell.

The other party is not human.

Moreover, it is very likely a twisted creature that feeds on human blood.

Snapped--

Another light went out.

The darkness was approaching the boy.

The thing hidden in the darkness was approaching the boy.

Snapped--

More lights went out at this moment.

The darkness has spread to Tanjiro's feet.

The young man paused slightly, and at this moment he was ready to fight.

Snapped--

Finally, all the lights in the corridor went out completely.

And at this moment, the sad crying sound approached the young man.
