2 What's happening

A man is standing right in front of Jin's house and observing the grave of three people. He has long blonde hair with streaks of flame-red around the tips, with some fire shoulder-length bangs. He is wearing a shirt with a white framed collar having the kanji for Destroy engraved on the back, a shirt pocket on top of the left breast, and a white undershirt along with a white haori with yellow and red flame-like patterns along the bottom and a long, saggy tattsuke-hakama pants strapped by a white buckled belt and a long sword is hung on his waist. His face looked solemn.

Two more people wearing the same uniform appeared and kneeled before the man.

"Rengoku-sama, we have sent the bodies to the corps and also searched the perimeter but there is no trace of the boy, the demon must have taken him away."

"Go back and report to master, this demon is highly ranked I will track him down"

"Um Rengoku-sama"

"Hmm"

"Someone robbed the body of our fallen brothers, we didn't find the swords with them and even their money pouches are absent"

"Bandits?"

"Anyway return to the post immediately and alert nearby city authorities about the possibility of a demon attack."

Both cadets retreated and disappeared into the forest.

'Two Hinoe rank swordsmen died, it means there is a possibility that demon moons are making move'

'But this is strange, generally, a high-ranking demon never attacks an ordinary family. '

With a flash of fire, Rengoku disappeared.

Sun has already set and 'Asakusa' town is bustling with people many families were seen shopping, eating, and enjoying their time.

On a side bench, a young boy is sitting and watching everything with a bowl of Udon. He has messy silver hair and yellow eyes and also has pale white skin. He is wearing a grey kimono with deep green haori and a shawl wrapped around his neck.

'Everyone looks so carefree and cheerful which is so rare to see in my previous life. '

Jin is enjoying his food but suddenly some kind of bell started ringing and everyone's faces start to change. All the people started to return and shopkeepers started closing their shops.

Jin gets confused and approached the Udon shop owner who also started to pack his stuff.

"Excuse me, can you tell me what is the meaning of this alarm and why everybody started to return."

"Oh! you don't know about alarms? Are you from the mountains or what? "

"Well I am really from the mountains and this is the first time I am hearing about these bells. "

Jin scratched his hair in embarrassment.

"Ok, I will tell you, whenever this alarm sounds it means that there is a chance that some supernatural danger is looming around the city and special forces will arrive and patrol these streets and all the other citizens have to return home."

"Supernatural?? "

"Yes, and if you have more questions better ask another time as I am off now. "

The shopkeeper lowered the shutter of his shop and also joined the returning mob. As for Jin, he returned to his bench and started pondering the information he just got.

'As far as I remember normal masses are not aware of the demons and only those who encountered them are aware in the canon what is more absurd is that there is a special force to deal with them. '

'This is not the same world as the canon'

In less than an hour, the bustling city turned into a desolate place. Steps started to hear from the distance and a very organized troop of 15 soldiers seems to enter the city wearing the demon slayer corps uniform. All have swords on their belt but what was surprising is that they are also carrying guns on their backs.

Jin is now sure that he is in a completely different world and that his future knowledge about plots is worthless.

'Demon slayer cadets with guns and they are working with the city authorities, great just great, and what next Muzan is the head of the demon slayer corps.'

When Jin is busy in his inner monologue, one cadet approached him.

"Hey kid, why are you here, didn't you hear the alarm, return to your home now."

Jin turned towards the cadet and smiled bitterly.

"I am a traveler and currently I have no home."

A look of realization flashed on the face of the cadet, and then he looked at Jin with pity.

"Listen, kid, if you don't have any money then move towards our safe house which is especially for the people without any home, you can stay there till morning."

"Can you see that Temple towards the north, you will find the safe house there"

"Thank you for your advice sir"

The cadet nodded and returned to his squad and Jin started to walk toward the temple.

'To survive in this world I have to train and for training, I need a master, who can teach me the breathing techniques, but how should I approach them'

'And the demon who killed the previous owner is very powerful, his single punch made a hole in the chest, but I didn't recognize his face, he is not any of the 12 moons and also I can't remember him from any chapter of the manga'

He kept walking for some time and now the streets are totally desolate. Temple is located on the outskirts of the city.

After some turns, he found that something seemed totally off because even if the streets are desolate there is not a single sound which is not possible because there are many residential buildings and some people should be seen here and there near their houses.

He took out his sword and unsheathed it. He carefully walk forward and his anxiety kept increasing because the silence is very unsettling for him.

Suddenly his danger senses flared and he unconsciously turns around and swung his sword with all his might but something impacted his sword with a force that overwhelmed him and he flung and crashed into the nearby wall.

"Kekekekekeke... "

"I am surprised you blocked that"

"You will be my last prey for tonight kekeke..."

Jin tried to stand up but failed miserably.

'I think some of my bones definitely cracked'

He tried to find the assaulter and then his gaze fell upon the creepiest thing he ever encountered in his whole life.

In some distance from him stood a humanoid monster with no face and all the muscle tissues are visible on his body and there is a hole in place of his stomach.

'I didn't even want to know how that thing is even talking

Jin stands up with great difficulty and started to back off while pointing his sword toward the monster.

But surprisingly the monster has no intention of stopping him and it only stands there laughing creepily.

After a few hundred meters, Jin stumbled upon something and found that there is some kind of barrier surrounding the place. His face turned ashen and then he noticed that the monster is leisurely approaching him and his hands are also transformed into blades.

'I am fucked, didn't I? '
