Chapter 20 Are we humans, ghosts, or evil?

The person asking the question was Anjurou. He was very passionate on the outside, but he was also like this in his nature. He did not lack a delicate heart.

When Rhodes was narrating, Xingjulang noticed through his eyes that there might be something hidden in it.

However, after all, Rhodes is an outsider, and he is asking his own people in front of him.

Anjuro didn't want to do this.

But Tanjiro's exclamation forced him to ask first.

Otherwise, he may make wrong judgments due to information errors.

"I……"

Endless regret, like a giant palm that cracks open stone, firmly grasped Tanjiro's heart and began to rub it.

Is it because of me? Because of my sister!

Those who died!

Recalling that after a fire overnight, the townspeople lost their families and were like walking zombies.

The gentle and kind-hearted Tanjiro can no longer hold the Nichirin Sword.

"Ping Pong."

The knife falls.

"thump."

People kneel down.

Tanjiro, who was constantly shedding tears and feeling annoyed, knelt on the ground. This time, there was no strange smell coming from his nose.

This means that the man in front of him has not deceived himself.

"What have I done...Mom, Midouzi..."

"Tanjiro!"

"Tanjiro!"

The previous voice came from Kubihira Inosuke, full of concern.

The last sound came from someone who had stayed where he was before, refusing to come over no matter what. He was timid and full of doubts.

The former grabbed two knives with one hand, squatted down and hugged Tanjiro with the other.

The latter was running over quickly, rolling and crawling, and looking at the direction, he was heading towards Tanjiro.

Nodding to Rhodes, Anjuro strode to the lost Tanjiro.

He picked him up with one hand and looked directly at his somewhat evasive gaze with sharp eyes.

"Really, Tanjiro-kun? What are you hiding? What have you done that makes you regret so much? Say it, say it out loud!"

The resonant voice and the trusting eyes are the charm of Yanzhu.

"As a member of the Demon Slayer Squad, no matter what happens, we should be honest!"

"I……"

His eyes wandered for a moment, and he found Inosuke and Zenitsu beside him looking at him with concern.

After hesitating for a while, Tanjiro finally decided that his sister was a ghost.

In order to prevent his sister from being taken away by Rhodes, he told her about the fight with her.

"Is that so? The non-cannibalistic sister turned into a ghost, looking for a way to turn the last member of my family, the beloved sister, back into a human being."

Contrary to Tanjiro's expectation, he thought he would be scolded and even beaten by the Hashira in front of him.

But Enzhu's behavior was very normal. He put down the hand holding Tanjiro and patted him on the shoulder.

"I accept your decision, but you are not worthy of such a decision now."

Turning around to face Rhodes again, Xingshoulang bowed seriously.

"I'm very sorry that our children have caused trouble to you!"

After maintaining his bow for a few seconds, he straightened up and asked seriously again.

"Is what Tanjiro-kun said about the method of turning ghosts into humans really false?"

"It's fake, but it's not hopeless."

Answering his question, Rhodes also looked very serious.

"Although we are an organization that purges outliers, as I said, we are not executioners. If there is indeed room for salvation, we will still try our best."

Turning to Tanjiro, Rhodes continued.

"Why are ghosts evil? It's because we are humans!"

"As humans, it is natural for us to eat meat. For ghosts, it is also natural for ghosts to eat humans!"

"So, from the perspective of ghosts, ghosts that eat people are not evil, but from the perspective of humans, ghosts that eat people are evil and must be eradicated!"

"It doesn't matter what's right or wrong, just what we stand for, just because we are human beings!"

He took a few steps forward, passed Anjuro, and walked in front of Tanjiro.

"As a family member, my mood and determination to protect my sister Midouzi are not wrong, only the ghost is wrong!"

"Only when all ghosts are eliminated, such mistakes and regrets will not happen again. Instead of falling into self-blame, it is better to cheer up and kill ghosts!"

He leaned aside to let Rhodes pass and listened to his words.

Anjuro agreed, as he was older and had experienced more things and people.

It is very clear that the world is not black and white. More often, the world is gray.

Moreover, Rhodes did not shy away from this and took the initiative to express his responsibility openly, which greatly increased his goodwill.

Also, burning down the entire town was not their intention.

Isn't it all because of the ghost's resistance and the influence of the blood ghost technique?

Pillars fighting high-level ghosts during the actual battle.

It is not always possible to lure ghosts to deserted places. More often, the battlefield is in the center of the town.

After all, ghosts want to eat people to make a living. They will eat whoever hides in a place where no one is around.

Therefore, during the battle, ordinary humans must be protected.

But in order to protect human beings, it is not okay to limit our efforts and dare not go all out.

Completely in line with the logic of the Japanese worldview, Yanshou Lang no longer intends to pursue Rhodes' burning of the town.

"So, how is my sister Midouzi doing now?"

After listening to Rhodes' narration, Tanjiro's mood improved slightly, and he was still a little concerned despite his gentleness.

But my sister is equally important.

"Alive, the doctors from our paradise island are working hard, and Midouzi herself is also very cooperative. I believe that human-changing technology will be developed in the near future."

After answering Tanjiro's question affirmatively, Rhodes smiled at him and returned to Enjuro's side.

"I thought about visiting you in a while, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Let's go to the headquarters. We will talk in detail after it's over."

"Thank you very much. If you're sorry for bothering me, I can help you if you need anything. As a fellow ghost slayer, you're welcome!"

Said loudly, Yanshou Lang agreed immediately without being pretentious.

I killed several ghosts along the way, and saw several ghosts from a distance that were baptized by gunfire and unable to move.

It is impossible to say that you are not curious about Rhodes' weapons.

Since the other party took the initiative to invite me, it would be a good time to go and meet them, so as to improve my understanding of them.

In this way, the two parties who had been facing each other with swords just now, after talking about it, the scene seemed to be in harmony.

"Your Excellency, Secretariat! Your Excellency, Secretariat!"

"Urgent call from the headquarters! Three strings have broken through the fire network! We have entered the first cordon! The front line has suffered heavy losses!"

"Repeat! Urgent call from headquarters!..."

Hearing that the Yiwozuo actually broke through the sea of ​​fire caused by the rockets, Lieutenant Colonel Kane was forced to recruit himself back so urgently.

Rhodes looked very surprised, what happened?

And knowing Blue Cosmos, this time the opponent is the Twelve Strings who have killed countless people, or the leader among them - Shangxian Sanyi Wozuo!

Purgatory Anjuro, who is a pillar, expressed on the spot that he wanted to go to the front line to support.

After inviting everyone to board the helicopter together, Rhodes was not polite and directly ordered to go to the first cordon.

Lieutenant Colonel Kane, who was at the headquarters, received the news and Rhodes flew to the place where Xiansan broke through.

His face twitched and he thought about it.

On that helicopter, there was also a so-called Zhu who was one of the top fighters in this world, and he resisted giving the order to return the helicopter.

Just when Lieutenant Colonel Kane was thinking about what would happen next.

After Rhodes and his group left, a girl with a butterfly hairpin silently looked at the direction they were leaving from where they had been.

When they flew away, Yu Zhi made a move and she jumped on the ground and chased after them.

Under the moonlight, the wings of the butterfly hairpin flashed, leaving bursts of beautiful starlight.
