When you are depressed, there is nothing that can make you feel more happy physically and mentally than teasing a little girl.
"Hmph, you annoying guy, you better be careful later and remember not to stay too far away from me."
Zhengu snorted arrogantly.
"Don't worry, I'm a man who has killed evil spirits. I will protect you."
Bai Shi patted his chest and assured.
"Who wants your protection?"
Shinkomo muttered to himself, then looked at Shiraishi and said, "It should be me who protects you."
"Then I will wait for sister Zhengu's protection."
Bai Shi smiled happily. A bright smile can easily make people feel happy, so he often kept smiling: "I am so lucky to win this time, ahahahaha..."
The sudden laughter attracted the attention of other people participating in the final selection.
Everyone wants to know why we laugh?
After taking a look at Bai Shi, they didn't think there was anything funny, so they withdrew their gazes. It was time to conserve their energy, as they would be participating in the final selection soon.
The seven-day and seven-night survival test is very difficult to pass for those who have just completed training.
Without strong military force and extraordinary wisdom, it is absolutely impossible to pass the final selection.
Of course, if you have a bit of luck, you can still pass the final selection. For example, in the original plot, the future legendary Ou Pillar, who was a contemporary of "Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu", lived to the end from being an ordinary passerby. It can be said that he has amazing luck.
He managed to get through so many dangers safely. His luck is really enviable.
Shinobu Kocho also looked over intentionally, but when she noticed Shinkomo's attention, she immediately shifted her gaze.
No matter how serious a shy little girl appears or how stern she is, there are always people she is not good at dealing with.
Makoto is someone she is not good at dealing with.
For a person who is obsessed with his sister, anyone who acts like a sister is particularly difficult to deal with.
"Shut up!"
Zhengu gritted his teeth in anger and kicked Bai Shi hard.
Bai Shi didn't expect that Zhen Gu would kick him, and he stopped laughing for a moment, but he was also stunned. Then the pain was transmitted to his brain, and he came back to his senses, grimacing in pain.
Although he had become stronger by relying on the big boss, his defensive capabilities had not improved much.
If your foot is stepped on, it will hurt.
"Sister Zhengu, you are going too far. I didn't say anything bad about you. Why did you step on my foot?"
Bai Shi looked at Zhen Komo with grievance and said.
"I...I was wrong, but you were not wrong either. If you hadn't laughed for no reason, I wouldn't have stepped on your foot."
Zhengu was a little flustered, but quickly found an excuse.
That’s right, this is all your fault. If you weren’t doing anything weird, how could I have stepped on your foot?
Everything is your fault.
"Okay, I admit that I shouldn't have laughed, but I couldn't help it. You said you would protect me, and I won by doing nothing until the selection was over. It was reasonable for me to laugh out loud with joy, don't you think?"
Bai Shi started to fool people again.
"Well, what you said makes sense... Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. The selection is about to begin, so let's take a rest first."
Zhen Gu didn't want to discuss this topic anymore. The more she talked about it, the more she felt that she had done something wrong. She felt like she had become a violent woman.
I am obviously the gentlest person, but why do I always get angry when I am with Shiraishi?
Humph, there must be something wrong with this guy. He really makes me angry. It seems that my bad temper is also related to him.
Shiraishi still doesn't know what Zhengu thinks of him in his mind.
If he knew, he probably wouldn't be able to say anything - because Zhengu's current personality is indeed closely related to him.
She was raised as a "daughter" since she was young, and then she became a nobody.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. Bai Shi himself is not very upright, so it would be strange if the "daughter" he raised had a good temper.
This is all thanks to Urokodaki Sakonji.
He was a childless man, so he took in many orphans, and while nurturing them to become successful, he also taught them how to behave in society.
If Urokodaki Sakonji had not corrected Makomo's "three views" in time, this girl would probably have completely turned into a violent girl.
But even so, Zhengu's personality can never go back to what it was before. Gentleness is contrary to her and is only superficial at best.
In front of outsiders, she is a gentle and lovely girl.
To people who know her, especially Shiraishi, she is just a good girl with a slightly bad temper.
After a while, a few more people came one after another, and finally no one else came, and time gradually came to the early morning.
At this moment, two girls went up the mountain, crossed the platform, and came to the intersection leading up the mountain.
These two girls are twins, with short mushroom-shaped hair, but their hair is silver-white, so they don’t look very old.
They were both wearing kimonos, holding lanterns that emitted faint light, and standing there like two elves.
"Hello everyone, thank you for gathering here tonight to participate in this final selection."
The elf-like girl on the left spoke first, and everyone's attention was drawn to her.
"In this Fujiki Mountain, there are many demons captured alive by many demon-killing swordsmen, but don't worry, they can't leave here..."
"That's because from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, there are wisteria flowers that ghosts hate blooming all year round."
The twin on the right immediately followed up on what the girl on the left said.
The atmosphere began to become more tense, and everyone realized that the final selection was about to begin.
As expected, the girl on the left continued, "But from here on, there will be no wisteria flowers on the mountain, so the ghosts can move freely without restrictions, and everyone will have to try to survive here for seven days."
"Surviving is the qualification standard for the final selection."
The girl on the right continued, "Well, the final selection begins. Everyone can go up the mountain."
Two girls in kimonos holding lanterns bowed together.
"I wish you all good luck in martial arts and a safe return."
With the blessings of the two girls, the swordsmen who had been waiting for a long time walked past the two and entered the mountain full of ghosts.
Shiraishi also went in with Zhengu.
I had been thinking of secretly protecting Shinobu Kocho, but I don't know where this little girl ran off to.
"She left alone."
Zhengu said a little disappointedly.
"Not only her, but everyone else has left too. Many are still alone and have no idea how scary ghosts are. I feel like they came to the final selection just to die."
Bai Shi also sensed that many people chose to travel alone. He really didn't know where they got the confidence to think that they could survive for seven days and seven nights alone.
This is not a trip, it's about fighting ghosts and considering survival...
Seven days and seven nights?
I'm afraid I can't last even a day and a night.
Bai Shi shook his head, glanced at Zhen Gu, and said in a melancholy tone: "So I don't understand why we have to survive in this mountain full of ghosts for seven days and seven nights?"
Zhengu frowned and thought that what Bai Shi said made sense, but now was not the time to think about these issues.
She asked, "What should we do next?"
"What else can be done?"
Bai Shi smiled and walked towards the forest: "Let's take it one step at a time. I have a plan. Zhengu, you will support me, right?"
"Let's talk and listen first."
Zhen Gu did not agree.
"Okay, I plan to kill all the ghosts in this mountain, you come and help me."
Shiraishi said something with a smile that surprised Makomo.
She just wanted to get through these seven days and then become an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
But Bai Shi...actually wanted to kill all the ghosts on this mountain. This idea is great!
Zhen Gu hates ghosts and wants to kill all the ghosts he sees, but he is not crazy enough to kill all the ghosts on the mountain by himself.
Fujisakayama is where the Demon Slayer Corps conducts its formal selection.
Every year, official members would capture a group of ghosts and release them into Tengxi Mountain. After so many years, no one knows how many ghosts there are.
Is it really possible to kill all these ghosts?
Zhengu was a little skeptical, but still chose to believe Bai Shi. Under his expectant gaze, he nodded gently: "I am willing to help, but I think your idea is not very realistic and may not be realized."
"Whether it is achievable or not, I don't care, as long as you try."
Bai Shi didn't care about Zhengu's worries at all, and said with a smile: "Besides, with your help, Zhengu, I think it will succeed."
"I'm not that great."
Zhengu lowered his head and said.
"I didn't say you're great. Don't overthink it. Being too narcissistic is not a good thing."
Bai Shi gave Zhen Komo a strange look, then said to her: "I came up with such a plan, of course I have to realize it by myself, you just help me a little."
"What can I do for you?"
Zhengu asked curiously.
"Well, I can't keep fighting forever, so I'll need you to help keep watch while I rest."
Shiraishi said while looking at Makomo.
Text: Chapter 62 Chapter 60 A mere evil ghost, vulnerable
"..."
When Zhen Gu heard this, he was speechless. It turns out that I am just someone who helps keep watch at night. Aren’t you looking down on me too much?
Although she was wearing a fox mask and she didn't say anything, Bai Shi, who had been with her for such a long time, could still tell that she was in a bad mood, a little angry, and a little furious...
It's natural to be angry and furious. Who made Bai Shi underestimate her?
Just when Bai Shi was planning to say something nice to completely fool the girl, he thought he was good at fooling people, but he couldn't bring the dead back to life, but he was still quite good at it.
However, at this moment, two evil spirits rushed out of the woods, probably because they smelled the human scent.
For the final selection every year, many trained swordsmen come to Fujishiko Mountain. This is the time for the captured evil spirits to party.
This year's final selection includes 24 people in total, including Shiraishi and Makomo.
Being placed in such a big mountain, it is like a drop of water falling into the sea, unable to create any waves at all.
"Hahaha...someone's finally here! These two are mine! I'm going to eat them!"
"Why are they yours? I want to eat them!"
Two evil spirits appeared in front of Shiraishi and Makomo, but they did not attack immediately. Instead, they started quarreling over prey.
Looking at these two evil spirits quarreling like housewives, Zhengu just found it funny and couldn't help laughing out loud for a moment.
When the silver bell-like laughter rang out, the two quarreling evil spirits also heard it. They stopped quarreling and looked at Shiraishi and Makomo, perhaps they reached a consensus, or perhaps they didn't want to be laughed at.
"One for each person."
"it is good."
One evil ghost made a suggestion, another evil ghost nodded in agreement, and then the battle began.
Seeing the two evil spirits launching an attack, Shinkomo's fighting spirit was ignited. She drew out her Nichirin Sword and swung it at the two evil spirits.
"All focused! Water Breathing, First Form, Water Surface Slash!"
A simple horizontal slash, like ripples on the water, spread out in the direction where the two evil spirits were rushing towards.
