Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 228 Tianyuan

The ghost shouldn't really be released, at least it shouldn't be such a powerful ghost.

Is Lord Tianyuan crazy? Why would he really bring a ghost here? What on earth is going on in those pillars’ minds?

It would not be a good decision to lose focus in the middle of the escape, but even so, he still found it difficult to suppress the emotions that continued to grow in his heart, which was shrouded in fear and anger.

No, this is not right, something must be wrong!

In the silent night, only my own breathing was the clearest sound. My heartbeat was so strong that it seemed like it was going to jump out of my head. My eardrums were itching from the vibration. Every step I took seemed to be the last. The heavy footsteps were not conspicuous in such a mountain forest. Wailing was heard in the distance. It was someone being arrested, but it sounded like someone was going to be eaten.

Who is next? Will he be next? When will this game end? How can he escape?

I don't know. My already tired brain didn't even start working when the game started. A whole day of training made everyone exhausted. It wasn't this tiring on the first day, but I could never get used to such a day no matter how many times I did it.

When the countdown began, no one took the game seriously, thinking it was just another of Lord Sound's evil fun. But with the last exit 0, the wooden box was opened, and the human voice disappeared, replaced by a series of low growls, like those of wild beasts or evil spirits, ghosts, the weird howls that only ghosts would make, and then there were screams, human screams, and people began to be caught.

The screams gradually revealed some information, and the terrified cries were so sharp that only those who were frightened could make.

It was not until that moment that everyone realized that Tianyuan was not joking. There really was a ghost on this mountain. A hungry evil ghost was hunting on this mountain, and all of them were prey, just like on Tengxi Mountain back then.

But it was still better at that time. Those ghosts were very weak and had only killed one or two people. They could be killed easily. But this one was obviously different. The sound of running was very light, and only the screams were approaching from far to near, almost like the death warrant, one after another, just like Tianyuan's countdown just now, the difference was that now it was a countdown for his life.

It was very close, very close. Although he could not hear any sound, he could feel the oppression. It was like a mountain falling on his shoulders when it pressed down heavily. It was so heavy and scary, as if he was being stared at by a wild bear.

But even the most ferocious bear wouldn't be this scary.

dying.

This was his last thought. He didn't know what tripped him, or maybe there was nothing at all, but he could no longer lift his legs. The moment his center of gravity shifted, his body lost balance and he fell heavily forward. The moment he turned over, he saw it.

A figure that is almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, with only the long shadow cast by a pair of glowing eyes being the clearest.

"Although I told him to just go for it and try to scare them, it seems like he went a bit too far, this kid."

The screams that came one after another were really hard to ignore. Although Tianyuan's original intention was indeed to scare these guys, should we say that Lingguang was really powerful enough, or that these people were really useless? Even if there were such a group of people running around casually, he deliberately counted slower, but in the end, few people could run farther.

Tianyuan sighed, helplessly tapped his shoulders lightly with a bamboo stick, and began to look for those who had been knocked down on the mountain. He started to wake them up one by one, and by the way, arrested the "ghost" who had obviously gone too far.

The result was almost exactly the same as expected. They were just a bunch of scared idiots. Even though they were driven together by Tianyuan, they just sat there blankly without saying a word to each other, as if they were still in the shock just now.

"That's too useless!"

The powerful roar woke everyone up in an instant. They looked over with dull eyes. Tianyuan slammed the bamboo stick heavily on the ground. Next to him was a box that had been locked again.

"So many people, and you're being chased by a ghost like this?! Just one ghost, can it take down all of you?! Do you think you're so powerful? You've been chased by a ghost like this, and you still don't know how to train properly!"

The extended bamboo stick hit the ground again and again as he scolded her. The anger was clearly expressed, mixed with helplessness.

Tengen knew full well that expecting these lowly, ordinary members to escape the pursuit of Upper Moon Rinkou was simply too much to ask. But with the most dangerous battle imminent, this group of people continued with this half-hearted approach. How could he accept reality with peace of mind? How could this group of people protect each other in the upcoming battles? They couldn't even take care of their own safety, so how could they expect the other pillars to protect them in battle?!

"Are you angry?"

The boy's voice was so soft, so soft that if Tianyuan hadn't been confident enough in his hearing, he would have thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Ah, yes, you can see it."

Tianyuan turned his head and looked at the boy sitting on the stone. The boy held his head high, sitting there quietly, just looking at the moon. From this perspective, he seemed no different from a human child.

Speaking of which, why did this kid become a ghost at such a young age? If he wasn't a ghost, what would he look like? However, he looks so weak, so his family must not be well off.

"Humans are really weird. You can't even protect yourself, yet you still worry about them. You're clearly worried that they can't protect themselves, yet you just scold them for being useless."

The boy turned around, and those eyes, etched with words, instantly wiped out all of Tian Yuan's illusions. It was a ghost. For a moment, he even subconsciously clenched the knife that fell to his hand.

"What's the meaning."

"What if they don't understand what you mean and think you're just a terrible person who looks down on others because of how powerful they are, and then they start to hate you?"

Lin Guang seemed not to notice Tianyuan's hand holding the hilt of the knife, nor did he seem to notice his nervousness, and just continued to extend the topic.

"Then hate me, just like that, think I'm terrible, and then work hard to defeat me. As long as they become strong enough to protect themselves and the people they want to protect, wouldn't that be great!"

"Even if they hate you for it?"

"even so."

"You're so weird."

"Because I'm human! Aren't humans just weird in your eyes?"

The moonlight poured down, and there was no deviation depending on whether it illuminated a person or a ghost, but it just made the shadows of the two boys very long.
