Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 114 Sleeping

Kyojuro waited in the carriage, but what he waited for was not the boy's return, but another older boy.

He remembered that it was a young boy who was brought here during the last Pillar Meeting. He was very rebellious and stubborn, and he brought his sister who had become a ghost.

After being recognized by him, the boy took the initiative to introduce himself, and also introduced the two people beside him, a boy with blond hair and a boy with a pig head, who were people he had never seen before.

The boy's voice was even softer than Lin Guang's, and he couldn't even hear it clearly.

Or maybe it was just because night fell and his attention was diverted to the moving train, so the words he heard were not clear.

The young man sat down next to him. He greeted the junior diligently and answered the questions raised by the young man directly. However, apart from the conversation, he couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Why hasn't Lingguang come back yet?

The boy didn't seem like someone who would intentionally cause trouble for others, nor did he seem like someone who liked to make trouble. In that case, it was even more strange that he hadn't returned yet.

Before Kyojuro decided to look for him, the conductor arrived at the carriage first.

----

"Even a Pillar can fall asleep easily?"

"Even the Pillars are human beings. All humans are the same. No matter how tough their exteriors are, they all have fragile hearts, like glass, that can easily break."

"Since he's already asleep, it's okay for me to go check on him."

This was to inform Nightmare and also to convince himself. Lin Guang stood up, and without getting permission, he fell from the roof to the connection between the carriages, pulled open the door and walked inside.

Every carriage was equally silent, eerily quiet. When Lingguang walked by, he could see that everyone sitting in the seats had their eyes closed, just as the nightmare said, they had all fallen asleep.

Lin Guang walked through one carriage after another, and at one moment he felt as if he was a Rakshasa from the Yama Hell. He could easily decide the life and death of the people in front of him. Whether these people died in their dreams or continued to live was just a matter of his thoughts.

He thought so, but Lingguang actually had no real intention of killing them. This hell for humans was not his territory. He was just a passer-by. He was not a Rakshasa, but a servant following behind the Rakshasa, just taking advantage of the power of the other side.

Such associations amused Lin Guang, and he stepped over these unfamiliar strangers.

After the door in front of him was opened, a familiar figure appeared in his sight, but as Rinko approached and walked next to Kyojuro, he suddenly realized that there was more than one acquaintance here.

Kyojuro, Tanjiro, and even the boar-like human he had seen on a certain mountain before could be considered a gathering of his friends.

Although it was not organized by him, the venue was not his, and there was no alcohol or food, at least they had a good dream.

Rinko climbed up from the chair onto the table and sat on it, close to the boys who had fallen asleep. Tanjiro leaned on Kyojuro's shoulder. He didn't know what he was dreaming about, but tears quietly slid down his tightly closed eyes.

This doesn't look like a good dream.

Linkou tilted his head and looked at Kyojuro again, his brows also slightly furrowed. Kyojuro was even more oppressive with his eyes closed than with them open, and the frown made him even more oppressive. It was as if he would strangle anyone who tried to take advantage of his situation.

So they will die here?

Only then did Lin Guang realize that Nightmare had made them immersed in dreams, and those children might come with the ropes later. After all, they were the most dangerous people on the train. Nightmare was always cautious and would definitely want to get rid of them first.

They are swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps and demon hunters. Demons and they are born to be enemies, Rinko thought.

He sat on the table with his arms on his knees, no more than an arm's length away from Kyojuro. They were so close, so close that he could hear Kyojuro's heavy breathing, but they were actually very far away, almost separated by life and death.

Rinko thinks that Kyojuro is like the sun, a man as dazzling as the sun, as passionate as the sun, bringing hope and light, and warmth. But at the same time, for him, he is just like the sun, out of reach and full of danger.

This was not Rinko's assumption or intuition. The danger was visible to the naked eye and was real. Rinko could clearly see with his own eyes the gap between Kyojuro and the other humans he had seen. Even the pillars he had met before were rarely comparable to him.

Unlike those weak humans, the fighting spirit emanating from Kyojuro's body at night is almost like a bright light.

Kyojuro is very strong, and Rinko can see it even without fighting with him. The stronger the demon hunter is, the greater the threat he poses to demons. He is the Flame Pillar, the swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the eldest son of the Rengoku family.

The outstretched hand was caught by the girl.

"what do you want to do!"

In fact, a person who is asleep will not be easily awakened by such a sound, but the girl still subconsciously lowered her voice. However, even if she lowered her voice deliberately, Lin Guang could still hear the difference and panic in her tone. Even if he didn't pay attention, when he turned around and saw that face, he could still feel the other person's emotions.

Maybe the other party mistakenly thought that she was going to attack, or maybe he was worried that he would wake the other party up. Whatever the reason, the girl was frightened by his actions. The expression on her face was terrified. The girl was at the age where she couldn't hide her emotions.

"I didn't intend to do anything."

Lin Guang had a blank expression on his face and spoke in a flat tone, forming a sharp contrast with the girl in front of him. He just looked at the hand that was holding his wrist. The girl then let go in panic and explained a few words in a panic.

"Yes, it was the master who ordered us to destroy the cores of these people. You know, we just want to have a good dream."

Whether this was an explanation or an excuse, Rinkou didn't know and didn't care. He just watched the rope being tied around Kyojuro and Tanjiro's wrists.

The children gradually lost consciousness in the sound of counting and successfully fell into dreams, but Kyojuro and the others were still unaware of all this.

Perhaps the messenger also has the right to kill.

With his hands wrapped around his knees and his chin resting on his arms, Lin Guang sat on the table, but curled up into a ball.

The rope of nightmares was just like what he had felt before, just a rope that would be cut and burned. If you used some force, it would not matter if it was torn apart, and those who sneaked into the dream would lose consciousness because of the broken link.

Rinko looked at Kyojuro in front of him, and saw that his brows were gradually furrowing. He wondered what kind of scene he was dreaming about. Was he dreaming about Makijuro, or was he dreaming about Ruka who had passed away before he even met her, or was he dreaming about Chijuro?

His lowered gaze was shrouded in darkness, and he was curious, so he began to daydream.

Will there be a place for him in Kyojuro's dream?

"You can rest assured. As long as you are by my side, I will not let even a ray of sunshine reach you."

The sound seemed to be ringing in his ears, but when Lin Guang raised his head, there was no other sound except for his even breathing.

At least Kyojuro's words always count.

He is a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, a demon hunter, the Flame Pillar, and the eldest son of the Rengoku family.

But he is also Kyojuro.

Lin Guang shifted his gaze from the face to the wrist tied with ropes.

And Nightmare will never lack this meal.
