Hijou Feiye stood on the stone steps of Takachiho Shrine, suppressing the panic in their hearts.
She had spent another night in the cave, hoping to wake up from her daze and return to her own world, but the expected outcome did not occur.
The night envelops the ancient shrine, and the shadows of century-old trees sway like wandering spirits. However, in this darkness, the divine power of the sun still permeates, protecting her. In the distance, the chirping of insects rises and falls, as if telling unspeakable stories.
The stone-roofed shrine is covered with the deep years and dust, and all around is silent, even the chirping of insects has disappeared, as if swallowed by this endless darkness.
Hijou Feiye stood up, rubbed their numb legs, took a deep breath, and planned to walk out of this eerie place.
She walked cautiously to the exit of the shrine, her heart pounding, as if she could hear the sound of her own heartbeat echoing in the deathly silence.
At that moment, she saw the back of a man not far ahead, slowly, almost leisurely walking.
"Wait, hello, can you take me back to the village?" Hijou Feiye asked cautiously, her voice tinged with a hint of hope.
At that moment, the man suddenly stopped in his tracks, frozen in place. Feiye felt her heart leap to her throat, as a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Then, a terrifying sight unfolded - the man's head slowly, inhumanly turned 180 degrees, directly facing her.
His eyes were no longer black or brown, but a deep, bottomless blood-red, as if even the flames of hell could not match its terror. His mouth was full of fresh blood, abnormally split open, like the entrance to an abyss, filled with bloodlust and greed.
"Human, there are still humans here?" he said in a chilling voice that seemed to come from the deepest depths of the underworld.
"You... You're a monster!" Feiye Finally realizing that the creature in front of her far exceeded her understanding, her face instantly lost all its color, becoming almost transparently white.
She immediately turned around and ran with all her strength towards the shrine.
The man immediately caught up as well, his speed astonishing, each step tearing through the air. He let out a deep, piercing roar, a sound as if from another hell, causing blood to freeze and hearts to stop.
Feiye felt an extreme sense of fear, as if the hand of death was right behind her. But in that critical moment, Feiye crossed the stone gate of the shrine.
She felt a warm flow spreading from her body, as if an invisible force was protecting her. The man with the blood-red eyes seemed to hit an invisible wall and was suddenly blocked outside.
His face showed an expression of incredulity and extreme pain, emitting a sharp roar, and then his body began to melt, as if being swallowed by darkness, ultimately disappearing without a trace.
Feiye Shivering all over, almost unable to stand, I fell onto the stone steps of the shrine.
"What's going on here?" Hijou Feiye were trembling all over, but they felt that it should be safe here.
Feiye wanted to leave the shrine's area, but she still remembered the strange face that had just spun 180 degrees.
That blood-curdling face made every pore on her body tighten. Therefore, she dared not move and could only wait.
Suddenly, a hand suddenly patted Feiye on the shoulder, causing her to scream in fright.
"Lower your voice. Do you want even the ghosts to know we're here?" The man was dressed in the attire of a priest, with a displeased expression on his face.
"Wasn't it you who scared me first?" Hijou Feiye retorted.
"Never mind, now is not the time for arguing," the priest looked around and said to Feiye: "What you encountered just now was a ghost. Ghosts roam in this era, feeding on human blood. But because this is Takachiho Shrine, dedicated to the sun goddess - Amaterasu Omikami, the ghosts cannot approach."
Hijou Feiye After listening, I felt a shock in my heart and asked unbelievably, "Ghosts? Are you saying that I not only traveled back to ancient times, but also crossed over to 'Demon Slayer'?"
"Crossed over to 'Demon Slayer'?" The priest obviously didn't understand the term, but he looked at Feiye's modern clothing and seemed to understand somewhat.
"No matter where you come from, it's best for you to stay here for now and wait until dawn to speak," the priest said solemnly.
Hijou Feiye nodded, but felt even more confused. What on earth was going on?
At that moment, a flash of sword light suddenly swept through from a distance, cutting a ghost that was about to approach the shrine in half.
"Finally solved another one." A young man walked over, with deep red hair on his head, wearing a black and green Check pattern ed outfit, and a sword hanging from his waist.
The man was wearing a Check pattern outfit, and his deep red hair and red eyes made him easily recognizable. He had a sword hanging from his waist, and his gaze revealed an undeniable determination.
Following behind him was a young girl. She poked her head out from a wooden box, wearing a dress with a hemp leaf pattern and a belt with a Check pattern. This is Nezuko, Tanjiro's sister.
Her eyes are pink, and she has a pink ribbon tied on her head. She also holds a bamboo tube in her mouth, looking extremely cute.
"Could it be that you are...?" Feiye There was a glimmer in their eyes.
Tanjiro first sniffed with his nose, then smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Kamado Tanjiro, and this is my sister Nezuko. We are here to carry out a demon-slaying mission."
"Tanjiro? Nezuko? Aren't they the main characters and sister from 'Demon Slayer'? Did I really travel to this place?" Hijou Feiye were surprised in their hearts, but they dared not believe it.
Tanjiro noticed the modern clothes Feiye was wearing and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, your clothes are very unique. May I ask where you are from?"
Hijou Feiye After hesitating for a moment, I decided to conceal my experience of crossing over. "These are... special fabrics, not something you can find here. I come from a distant place."
Tanjiro smiled slightly, seemingly indifferent to the response from Hijou Feiye. His expression quickly turned serious, and he spoke with a tense tone, "Do you know how dangerous it is here? We just sensed the presence of demons nearby."
Feiye Recalling the terrifying scene just now, I suddenly understood Tanjiro's meaning.
"We know, but it's safe to stay here," the priest said.
Tanjiro continued to suggest, "If you don't mind, we can take you to a safer place. It's not safe to be out alone at night here."
The priest shook his head and replied, "You don't need to worry about me. I am the priest here, responsible for worshipping the sun goddess, Amaterasu Omikami. I am protected by her here."
Hijou Feiye considered it and ultimately decided to accept Tanjiro's proposal: "I'm willing to go with both of you."
So, the three of them left the shrine together, continuing to walk into the dark and dangerous night.
They passed through the woods and arrived at an open area. At that moment, Tanjiro's expression suddenly became tense, and he raised his sword pointing forward: "There's a demon!"
Sure, here is the English translation of the input:
"Sure enough, under the moonlight, a strange figure appeared. It was a ghost, with blood-red eyes and covered in thorns.
Tanjiro immediately launched an attack, swinging his sword and cutting the ghost in half with a slash of the Breath of Water sword energy."
"Is this the Breath of Water?" Hijou Feiye looked at Tanjiro in amazement.
"That's right," Tanjiro sheathed his sword, turned back with a smile, "This is our job as members of the Demon Slayer Corps to kill demons." Suddenly, Hijou Feiye felt that they might also find their place in this Taisho Era.
