Chapter 34 Sasaki is not a ghost
Chapter 34 Sasaki is not a ghost
"Oh, so I should thank you?"
Faced with this seemingly crazy but actually perverted dwarf ninja, Lin Bei felt that things were finally getting interesting.
After all, he came with great enthusiasm to kill demons, but in the end he only killed a few insignificant ronin.
It's like dressing up in your finest clothes to prepare for a grand meal, only to end up with a plate of sunflower seeds.
This really made him quite unhappy.
Fortunately, there's Sasara, that freakish dwarf ninja, who can be considered a small supplement to his diet.
Sasara seemed not to understand Lin Bei's teasing, and looked up at Lin Bei with a serious expression.
"yes!"
"You really should thank me properly."
"Being killed by me is the best ending for you."
"Otherwise, it would fall into the hands of that good-for-nothing Oda and be sent to a laboratory to be turned into a monster."
"I'd rather go back and be used as fertilizer by Lady Rose."
"None of these are pleasant feelings!"
Upon hearing Sasara's predictions and analysis of his two possible outcomes, Lin Bei imitated Sasara, adopting a serious expression.
"If that's the case, then I do seem to be the one who should thank you."
"But have you ever thought about it?"
"My strength is actually very great."
"I am so powerful that those few ronin are like ants to me. Killing them is effortless."
"So powerful that the Rose Lady, whom you claim would turn me into fertilizer, not only dares not harbor any ill intentions towards me, but also has to obediently warm my bed?"
"So powerful that you might die by my hand at any moment?"
Hearing Lin Bei mimic him and say arrogant words, Sasara, who had just had an innocent smile on his face, immediately changed his expression, his voice becoming crazy and vicious.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"My intuition is absolutely correct."
"You're just an ordinary person with slightly more strength. You're not like those ghosts who are impossible to kill no matter how you try."
"None of them have any special powers like that demon slayer."
"So you have absolutely no chance against Lady Rose, let alone kill me."
Lin Bei's eyes narrowed upon hearing Sasara's words.
There was an unexpected bonus.
His voice carried a hint of inquiry.
"Oh, so you know about ghosts and ghost slayers."
"This is interesting."
"So, you've seen them before?"
"Or are you the ghost, or someone around you is the ghost?"
In fact, Lin Bei had already noticed that Sasara was different from ordinary people when he first saw her.
This difference wasn't because he was a ninja, or because of his dwarf-like physique.
It was his scent, not his body odor.
It has a flavor that's a mixture of human and ghost.
Lin Bei knew this taste very well.
After all, he himself lived with Midouzi.
However, these two are different.
Because the Beans had never eaten a human, and Lin Bei had been feeding them with yang energy.
Therefore, the ghost flavor of the glutinous rice balls is very weak and will not make people feel strange.
However, the ghostly scent emanating from Sasara was extremely strong, so strong that even without Lin Bei's deliberate attempt to discern it, it still rushed into his nose.
Moreover, the demonic aura emanating from Sasara also carried a fishy, foul smell.
That's the taste of a man-eating demon.
The fishy stench was so strong that even the human scent on Sasara's body was suppressed to an extremely faint level.
When this happens,
There are only three possibilities.
Either Sasara spent a long time with a man-eating demon.
Sasara is either a demon himself, or at least half a demon.
Either both of the above must exist simultaneously.
Sasara is both with demons and a demon himself.
However, the knowledge he learned from Urokodaki Sakonji told Lin Bei that all three possibilities were almost zero.
Man-eating demons cannot coexist peacefully with humans.
A ghost is a ghost, and a person is a person; the two cannot be confused.
However, Lin Bei was not a native of the Demon Slayer world, and his mindset had not become fixed.
Besides, if a living dead like him has appeared, it's not impossible for a half-human, half-ghost being to appear as well.
But Lin Bei's words seemed to have touched some taboo. As soon as he finished speaking, Sasara's expression changed drastically, and he roared at Lin Bei.
"Sasara is not a demon, Sasara is a human."
"Sasaki isn't a demon; he's just sick."
"The doctor told me that as long as he has enough eyes and ears, he will recover."
"I will not allow you to slander Sasara and Sasaki."
"You bad person."
"Sasara doesn't like you anymore. Sasara is going to take off your ears and eyes to cure Sasaki's illness."
Upon hearing Sasara's words, Lin Bei suddenly realized what was going on.
"He guessed right."
"Sasara could indeed be half-human, half-demon."
"And the Sasaki that Sasara mentioned is the Eye Demon he's looking for."
After figuring this out, Lin Bei was immediately overjoyed.
He thought his dinner for the night was ruined!
But unexpectedly, a new path opened up before them.
What he considered a side dish is no longer a side dish, but has become a delicious snack.
This snack can also help him bring out his main meal.
Unlike Lin Bei's beaming joy.
At this moment, Sasara truly harbored murderous intent towards Lin Bei.
Unlike killing Oda Juro, which was as casual as kicking away a pebble in the road, this was different.
Therefore, when facing Lin Bei, Sasara truly wanted to kill Lin Bei and completely erase this life named Lin Bei from the world.
So Sasara didn't hesitate at all and threw a bunch of kunai at Lin Bei, who was right in front of him.
Then he rolled back two meters to prevent Lin Bei from launching a counterattack before he died.
And each of these kunai thrown at Lin Bei was just like the one that killed Oda Juro—sharp and coated with deadly poison.
But Lin Bei remained calm despite the kunai that completely blocked his escape routes.
Because what appears to be an extremely fast and difficult-to-dodge kunai to most people is, in Lin Bei's eyes, not much faster than a snail.
Because Urokodaki Sakonji's speed is much faster than Kunashiri's.
Even in terms of speed, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
The ones in the sky are Urokodaki Sakonji, and the ones on the ground are the kunai thrown by Sasara.
It should be noted that even without the breathing technique, Lin Bei still couldn't touch Urokodaki Sakon once.
But Lin Bei wasn't idle during Tanjiro's training days.
He deliberately enhanced his speed using yang energy and frequently consulted Urokodaki Sakonji.
Therefore, Lin Bei's speed was still far inferior to Urokodaki Sakonji's when he activated his breathing technique.
But Lin Bei was confident that, apart from the Pillars and the Twelve Demon Moons who possessed breathing techniques, his speed was unparalleled.
So when faced with the sudden attack from the kunai, Lin Bei simply waved his hand calmly.
Then the katana he got from Oda Juro drew a perfect circle in the air, and all the kunai that touched the circle fell to the ground with a "clanging" sound, as if they had hit an iron curtain.
None of them could break through the perfect circle drawn by Lin Bei.
However, Lin Bei was not just a clay puppet who knew how to stand and be beaten.
"It is impolite not to reciprocate!"
"Take my knife too."
After blocking Sasara's sneak attack, Lin Bei took a step forward and swung his katana out, transforming it into a crescent moon.
The words fell, and so did the knife.
Lin Bei said it was one cut, and that was it.
After making a single cut, he took a step back and stood with his hands behind his back.
Sasara was completely unable to react to the blow, his eyes fixed on the crescent moon.
As the silver moon faded, a thin, hair-like bloodstain appeared on Sasara's body, running from his left shoulder to his right hip.
It was as if he had been split in two diagonally.
Faced with such a blow, even someone as twisted and insane as Sasara could only utter one sentence.
"What a sharp knife!"
"What a pretentious person!"
Then, amidst the splattering black blood, he fell straight to the ground.
