"On the contrary, you, the Demon Slayer Corps, have been fighting for hundreds of years. Don't you have any intelligence at all?"

"You're not framing me, are you?"

Facing Lin Chen's questioning.

Shanyan lowered his head in inferiority. He was too embarrassed to say that in the past hundreds of years, none of the pillars who encountered the upper-rank demons escaped.

Under the sophisticated PUA rhetoric, the honest man Shanyan's psychological defenses have been penetrated.

The Demon Slayer Corps seems to be really useless (unconscious state)...

"Senior, please listen to my advice. Once you have recovered from your injuries, go down the mountain."

"Don't come to such a dangerous place again."

Listening to Lin Chen's earnest and kind advice.

Shanyan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

It seems that their Demon Slayer Corps is regarded by others as some small and insignificant organization.

It’s almost like saying it bluntly, you Demon Slayer Corps are so useless, just disband right here. It’s better not to touch things like slaying demons, it’s too dangerous.

A Class A elite swordsman who has lived for more than thirty years and is a professional demon slayer has no idea how to prove himself.

Shanyan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

......

Lin Chen said that he would continue to protect everyone in Natian Spider Mountain for a while until his injuries were healed.

Shanyan immediately smiled happily and wished that Lin Chen could stay a few more days.

There is no way. It would be fine if Lin Chen killed the Twelve Demon Moons, but the information about the Upper Moon Demons he mentioned was more important than Shanyan’s life.

I am eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the support pillar.

He really had no way to deal with Lin Chen. Every time he opened his mouth, he was confused and acted like an idiot.

However, Shanyan's determination to win over Lin Chen has reached a point where it cannot be changed.

He will never give up and believes that the arrival of the Pillar will prove the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps to Lin Chen.

...

"Finally gone!"

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly and just saw off Shanyan, who had just chatted with him about the future of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Lin Chen was speechless about this fish. It’s useless even if you say it a hundred times.

There is absolutely no problem with them joining the Demon Slayer Corps, but not with you.

"Ah~"

“There is no awareness of having a spare tire.”

"Is there a possibility that my medal of competitive king has enhanced the effectiveness of my rhetoric?"

"That's why I was so successful in deceiving people."

"Besides, I seem to have underestimated my 60 points of charm."

Lin Chen's mind moved, and he suddenly realized.

[Symbol of Strength]: In the game world, major organizations have improved their initial assessment of players.

Even without using any skills, the 60 points of charm greatly increased the persuasiveness of Lin Chen's words.

Among the five basic attributes, charm is the least noticeable.

But in fact, when charm is used well, it can be far more amazing than other attributes.

For example, there is an art student who failed the exam, or Napoleon who conquered countless soldiers with just one sentence: "Your emperor is back."

Their extreme charm enables them to gain the support of countless people.

Even enough to change the course of history.

"Exquisite rhetoric, 60 points of charm, [Symbol of the Strong]..."

"Shanyan is also an honest and simple person."

"broken!"

"Too much force."

"No wonder a dignified A-level expert has turned into a bootlicker."

"He actually talked to me five times in one night."

"What the hell."

Lin Chen patted his thigh hard.

Your own pot.

He underestimated the harm caused by his good looks.

Lin Chen had never been so speechless.

When will the two pillars arrive?

Chapter 263 Gift from the Dead

Under the bright moon, the sky is clear, surrounded by mountains and swaying trees.

A mountain breeze blew through the forest and blew all the way to the top of the mountain, making Lin Chen at the top feel a little cool.

"This is already the third night."

"According to the time, it's almost time."

Lin Chen sat cross-legged under a rock, looking calmly at the road in the distance.

Following the path into the mountain, on both sides, endless wheat fields undulate with the cool breeze.

Because the spider mountain is inhabited by the Lei ghost family, these wheat fields have long been abandoned due to the continuous disappearance of people.

As a result, the unattended wheat fields had to engage in a brutal battle for nutrients with the weeds.

The loser dies!

The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.

This is the most simple and unpretentious law of nature.

"Lord Chenxi, we have roughly counted them."

"A total of 157 human remains were found near the cabin, and they are estimated to be from the surrounding residents."

"There were 41 members of the Demon Slayer Corps who arrived at Nada Spider Mountain, and 24 of them died. Thanks to your rescue, 17 swordsmen survived."

The sudden sound of reporting interrupted Lin Chen's thoughts.

Below him, Shanyan came to Lin Chen respectfully.

This A-class member of the Demon Slayer Corps didn't even know why he inexplicably placed himself below Lin Chen.

In his subconscious, although the young man in front of him named Chenxi has not yet joined the Demon Slayer Corps, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a Pillar.

Therefore, although Lin Chen's command over Shanyan was not as smooth as his own arm, most of the reasonable commands would be executed.

Not to mention the other lower-level swordsmen, they had already been conquered by Lin Chen.

While waiting for the arrival of the two pillars, Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho, Lin Chen really couldn't stand Shanyan coming to harass him from time to time.

It would be fine if he came alone, but he came with a group of people.

After careful consideration, Lin Chen felt that this was just a result of being bored.

So, under the guiding ideology of burying the dead and resting them in peace, he commanded the surviving Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen to clean up the battlefield and sort out the relics.

In the past, the tasks of cleaning up the venue were all handled by the [In] of the Demon Slayer Corps.

However, since it was Lin Chen's order, Shan Yan and others had no objection.

After a day of hard work, the dead were finally collected and all the human remains were pieced together.

Shanyan led Lin Chen to a slightly flat area.

Rows of wooden nameless tombstones were neatly arranged, and in front of them were placed wild flowers that Shanyan and the Demon Slayer Corps had collected from the woods.

A very simple cemetery.

"Sir, all 157 dead are here."

"We will take the remains of the Demon Slayer Corps members back to the Demon Slayer Corps for a special burial."

Sanyan's eyes were filled with sadness, and the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen following behind him also had red eyes.

Most of them had relatives who died at the hands of evil spirits, and only then did they embark on the extremely dangerous journey of slaying demons.

Lin Chen nodded silently.

The feud between humans and demons has lasted for thousands of years, and the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons have long been in a life-and-death relationship.

But he is not that disgusted by ghosts.

I don’t like it, but I don’t hate it either.

This is what Lin Chen thinks about ghosts.

It is necessary for demons to eat humans to survive. The source of all evil comes from the ancestor of demons - [Kibutsuji Muzan].

If Muzan hadn't converted evil spirits on a large scale, there wouldn't have been so many victims.

"If I remember correctly, most ghosts had very miserable experiences before they were transformed into ghosts."

"The root cause is that Muzan is very good at reading negative emotions."

"He possesses the 'dark side mind reading ability' and can easily see through the dark side of people. He once used this ability to scold his five wives and made them commit suicide."

"Muzan likes to transform humans with huge negative emotions into evil spirits, so that the dark nature of the evil spirits can easily overwhelm human nature."

"The protagonist, Tanjiro, believes that demons are empty, sad creatures."

"When the ghost is killed, human nature will be revived from the ghost nature."

"In the anime, after Rui was killed, his awakened soul felt remorse for his actions and wanted to apologize to his parents."

"..."

Lin Chen, standing in front of the tombstone, suddenly fell silent, as if something suddenly occurred to him.

He murmured, "Soul...wait...soul..."

"There is a special feature of the world of Demon Slayer, that is, the dead souls will still wander in the world before they have fulfilled their obsessions and understood their concerns."

"Reincarnation has been delayed."

"For example, Satsuki and Makomo, who once taught Tanjiro swordsmanship with their spirit bodies, were Tanjiro's senior brothers and sisters. They were killed by the hand demon in the final test of joining the Demon Slayer Corps because of the [Disaster-Removing Mask] given by their master Urokodaki Sakonji before leaving."

"Whether they are human or ghost, their souls may still be wandering in the world."

"There must be souls lingering on these tombstones because of resentment and concern."

...

~....

Like a summer breeze, gently blowing past your ears, pure...warm...

The world paused here.

Shanyan and the swordsman behind him looked at Lin Chen in surprise as he was singing an unknown melody.

The voices of the townspeople's souls spread to all directions.

Lin Chen was in a trance, and seemed to see a vague listener sitting on each wooden tombstone.

Young or old, male or female...

There are parents who care about their children at home, girls with tears in their eyes, and young people who can't let go of their loved ones...

Even if you lose your life, even if you are already dead.
