Chapter 63: Upper String Assembly
In the front car of the train, an indescribable weird atmosphere filled the air.
This was originally the center where the conductor controlled the operation of the entire train, but now it has become a gloomy and terrifying lair of evil spirits.
On the originally tidy dining table, there was now a horrible body - it was the original conductor of the train.
His clothes were torn and bloodstained, and all his former dignity was gone.
Obviously, he had suffered the misfortune of becoming a meal for these evil spirits.
Douma and Hantengu were now like wild beasts, devouring the conductor's flesh.
Their faces, hands, and even the corners of their mouths were stained with blood, and their eyes flashed with the ferocious and greedy light of wild beasts.
Their behavior no longer betrayed the human appearance they once had; they had transformed into evil spirits who only knew how to kill and eat.
There were bloodstains splattered everywhere on the walls and floors, as if telling what a brutal massacre had just taken place here.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.
"Come to think of it, is it necessary to make such a big fuss? The other party is just a little girl, I am more than enough to handle her alone." Akaza, the powerful man ranked as the third of the Upper Moons, showed a hint of displeasure on his face.
Because Yun Xi revealed the existence of Nezuko to Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon King was extremely delighted and promoted Yun Xi to Upper Six on the spot.
This action not only suddenly improved Yun Xi's status in the ghost clan, but also made her the target of public criticism.
In order to ensure that this operation would be foolproof, Muzan Kibutsuji also specifically ordered other waxing moons to come and assist.
They each had different thoughts and purposes, but under the majesty of Muzan Kibutsuji, they had to temporarily put aside their prejudices and work together for this mission.
However, Yun Xi did not reveal the true identity of the blue red spider lily to Muzan Kibutsuji.
She knew very well that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, especially when facing a guy like Muzan Kibutsuji who was moody and unpredictable, she needed to remain vigilant and keep a trump card.
The blue spider lily is a trump card in her hand. It not only concerns her life and death, but may also be the key to her future turnaround.
She understood that once Muzan Kibutsuji lost interest in her or thought she was no longer of any use to him, her life would be threatened at any time.
Therefore, she must always be vigilant and leave a way out for herself.
The blue red spider lily is the escape route Yun Xi prepared for herself.
"How many people are here now?" asked Kokushibo in a deep voice, his six eyes fixed on the window, as if he could see through all the darkness and conspiracy. He seemed indifferent to other trivial matters.
Yu Hu quietly spread out his territory, like an invisible net, carefully sensing every corner around the train, not missing any slightest movement.
"The Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps has arrived, and he's followed by several members of the Demon Slayer Corps." There was a hint of teasing in Yuhu's tone.
As soon as Yu Hu finished speaking, a distorted expression appeared on Bantian Gou's face, as if he was crying but not crying, which made his face look even uglier and more terrifying.
"Are these the only ones?" Akaza asked coldly, with a hint of disappointment in his tone. He, like Kokushibo, was a fanatic eager to fight, and only a strong enough opponent could satisfy them.
Yu Hu chuckled, waved his hand, and used the blood ghost magic to display a three-dimensional map in front of the ghosts.
This map is so detailed that it seems to include everything around the train, allowing the ghosts to have a more intuitive understanding of the upcoming battle.
On the map, the train is like a giant reptile, moving forward slowly and steadily.
In front of the train, several small red dots gathered closely together, like a group of ferocious beasts about to attack.
These red dots are the marks that represent these evil spirits.
The middle carriage of the train appears on the map as densely packed gray dots, which twinkle quietly like stars in the night sky, representing the ordinary human passengers on the train.
These human passengers had no idea of the horrific battle that was about to break out, and their fate seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand.
In this gray ocean, there are some conspicuous green dots, which are as dazzling as emeralds.
These green dots are the members of the Demon Slayer Corps led by Tanjiro. They are hiding among the ordinary passengers, ready to respond to any sudden crisis at any time.
However, at this moment, the evil spirits did not focus too much on these green dots.
Their attention was completely drawn to what was happening ahead of the train.
About ten miles away from them, hundreds of green dots suddenly appeared on the map. They were densely distributed on both sides of the railway, like a green ocean.
These green dots are obviously the reinforcements of the Demon Slayer Corps. They are on high alert and ready to fight off the attacks of evil spirits at any time.
Seeing this scene, the evil ghosts all showed excitement.
There was a bloodthirsty desire in their eyes, as if they couldn't wait to engage in a bloody battle with these Demon Slayer Corps members.
"Are the Demon Slayer Corps going out in full force this time?" Akaza looked slightly excited, with a wild light flashing in his blood-red eyes.
For him, the more enemies the better, because this will more thoroughly satisfy his desire to fight and make his fighting spirit burn like a raging fire.
However, Yuhu shook his head regretfully, breaking Akaza's fantasy: "Unfortunately, according to my perception, it seems that there are still a few pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps who have not left."
"It seems that the Demon Slayer Corps did not put all its strength here this time." Kokushibo said coldly, his six eyes flashing with cold light, as if he was evaluating the strength comparison between the two sides.
Yuhu nodded and continued, "Indeed. Our mission this time is to recapture Nezuko, and attacking the Demon Slayer Corps is just a side job. Therefore, we must not act rashly without the clear order from Master Muzan Kibutsuji."
The already dim light seemed even dimmer at this moment, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and murderous intent.
The katana on Kokushibo's waist glowed coldly, and the blade trembled slightly, as if cheering for the upcoming battle.
His six eyes were all flashing with cold and cruel light at this moment, as if he couldn't wait to taste the blood.
The other evil spirits also showed grim smiles, rubbing their hands, ready to strike.
Every evil spirit understands that this battle will be different from any previous ones.
Both sides have made full preparations, and a bloody battle is inevitable.
In this solemn atmosphere, the train continued to speed forward.
The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding, as if it was making way for the upcoming battle.
As for Tanjiro and his group in the train, the Waxing Moons had no intention of taking action themselves.
In their eyes, these young Demon Slayer Corps members are not worthy of their personal action.
Therefore, this task was given to Nightmare, the Lower Moon, and other members of the Yunxi Adventure Group.
The train moved slowly along the rails, making a rumbling sound.
The white smoke from the front of the car filled the air, interweaving with the night to form a hazy picture.
The scenery outside the car window kept changing, but the atmosphere inside the car became more and more tense.
