Chapter 194 Different People (Part 1)
Lin Guang's brain is broken.
This was Douma's previous conclusion. Although no one expressed support, no one refuted it, which was actually a silent acquiescence.
Although after being educated by Kokushibo, the other party said that the situation has improved slightly.
But when he saw the other party hanging on a wild ghost that came from nowhere.
Akaza thinks.
Either Kokushibo's brain is broken or he is just talking nonsense.
----
Akaza was called back because Rinko wanted to go out and play, but such a request was not allowed, at least not without Kokushibo's company.
So Rinko came up with a good idea in his little head. Since Kokushibo was not available, he would find someone who was available and then report to Muzan.
This is why Akaza appears here.
The atmosphere that should exist between ghosts is actually very bad.
Especially when there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
The pride running in their blood made the two relatively older-looking ghosts present dislike each other, but in fact the oldest one was completely unaware of it.
-
"Akoza, we need to go out and play."
Such requests were not unfamiliar. When Rinkou and Akaza were together, he would often make requests, starting with his name and ending with the request, which was concise and clear.
In fact, it wasn't like this at the beginning. He was more polite at first, but he didn't like it, so he asked Lin Guang to keep changing it. Finally, the boy realized that he really didn't need such politeness, and started to be less polite to him.
So only when it came to him would Rinkou look a little rude, which was rare, but Akaza thought it was a sign of more familiarity.
It's like a mark he made.
Akaza would never refuse Rinko's request, especially such a simple one.
"Okay."
In fact, he agreed very readily.
It's just that my mood isn't as good as before.
The reason is simple and clear, because of that wild boy who came out from nowhere.
A wild ghost appeared out of nowhere, relying on his closeness to Rinkou, and just appeared here. The boy was hanging on the other's body, which made Akaza feel bad. It was like a wild dog entering his territory, or like a jackal was watching the prey under his claws.
This made Akaza unhappy.
His eyes clearly caught the light. This kid who came from nowhere was not strong enough, at least not compared to the upper ranks. Such a weak existence made Akaza feel disgusted. With a fearful look, a tense body, and trembling, he would feel nauseous even if the other party was a demon.
If it were any other time or any other situation, Akaza had no doubt that his fist would immediately appear in the opponent's face, knocking the head off, smashing it, or doing something else. In short, he would no longer tolerate the opponent standing in front of him and being an eyesore.
But now, Rinko was there and showed a friendly attitude, which made Akaza show a patience that was almost reserved for humans.
This is respect for Rinko and respect for Kokushibo.
But this doesn't mean that he can really understand or accept it.
Kokushibo was not present, and he didn't even have anyone to refer to for questions about what happened.
The scene before him was subtly strange.
Lin Guang was obviously trying to be friendly towards the boy, but boys were always easy to see through.
Wild fruits on the trees, flowers on the ground, and feathers of flying birds were strung into ornaments, and grass leaves and vines were made into wreaths, and finally all of these were stuffed into the boy's arms.
Of course, some were carried on their heads. Rinko liked that boy very much, but Akaza didn't understand. This was a ghost he had never seen before. It was a ghost, yes, but its strength was not very strong. He didn't understand why Rinko liked this guy.
-
"Hey, kid, come and have a fight."
When Rinkou went to find a water source and put some distance between them, Akaza spoke.
The other party had no room for refusal. Akaza didn't give it to him, nor did he intend to give it to him. He just made sure that the other party heard what he said, and raised his hand after the other party turned his head.
"I won't die anyway."
He said.
-
The sound of explosions came from behind, one after another, and the sound of bones and blades colliding was clear and audible. Lin Guang caught every sound, but he just kept his head down and kneaded the mud in his hands, shaping the mud into shapes, a head, a body, then hands and feet, into the shape of a human, then the shape of clothes, the curled hair ends, and finally the small decorations.
This was a very time-consuming job, and even though he was very skilled, it still took a long time, so it was not surprising that when he turned back, there was a dying Gyotaku lying on the ground, and sitting next to him was Akaza, who seemed to be in a better mood.
Just by the sound, he could guess what kind of fierce battle had just taken place, but ghosts would not die anyway.
Lingguang placed a small clay doll next to Xiongyue on the ground. The other party had obviously not fully recovered yet and was still lying unconscious on the ground, not even noticing his approach.
Then he brought another one to Akaza and placed the clay doll next to Akaza. It was not dry yet, so they needed to wait a little longer, but Akaza had already reached out to pick it up and take a look. It was a lifelike version of him. Judging from his movements, it was probably the same as he looked when they met again in Infinite Castle after a long separation a few hours ago.
"well done."
Akaza's straightforward praise.
"Thanks for the compliment."
And Lin Guang accepted it calmly.
"This guy doesn't have any skills. What do you like about him?"
Akaza was not the type to allow himself to remain confused, so he threw the question to the instigator. Rinkou tilted his head, obviously thinking, and then spoke.
"Ghosts are friends, and they like friends."
An answer that is worse than not giving it.
"Kokushibo said your brain is normal, but he was talking nonsense."
Akaza was sighing, and Rinko looked at Akaza.
“And because I’m so grateful to him.”
----
----
Ghosts are really stubborn and persistent creatures. If they are determined about something or a certain point of view, it is difficult for other ghosts to change their minds.
It's like Douma thought his brain was broken, from beginning to end.
It was also like Kokushibo thought he was weak, from the beginning to the end.
Their views never changed in the slightest because of his changes or explanations.
Not long ago, he realized that his brain was indeed broken, but he corrected it. However, Akaza still holds this view to this day.
He thought his brain was broken, and even after he explained, Akaza still thought so.
So is his brain really broken? Lin Guang asked himself, and the answer he got was no.
Maybe it was bad before, but it's definitely not worse now. He is very sure and knows exactly what he is doing. He is making friends and being good to his friends. This is what he is doing and what he is good at.
But if you ask if there is any difference, actually there is.
In the past, he would not be so close to strange ghosts. He would not be hostile to those ghosts that were not strong enough or were not familiar to him. He would not attack them, instead of being so close to them. He was not familiar with Xiong Yue and did not know him when he was a human being. Becoming a ghost was just a matter of time.
They were not familiar with each other, but he was unusually nice to him.
This wasn't simply because the ghost was a friend, but because Rinkou was very grateful to him.
Yes, thanks.
He wanted to thank Xun Yue for making him realize belatedly something extremely important that he had always ignored.
Since humans cannot be friends, why not just turn them into ghosts?
Tanjiro's sister is a demon, so wouldn't it be nice for Tanjiro, as her brother, to become a demon as well?
Kyojuro's mother died of illness, but as long as she becomes a ghost, she will no longer have to worry about illness, and Makijuro's health will not be in trouble.
Isn't that great.
