Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 104 Infinite City

Infinite City is very boring.

Only Mingnu will stay here forever, but she doesn't like to talk. Rinko used to like the question-and-answer game, which was to keep asking questions until Mingnu was willing to answer, and then Rinko would get one point.

Unfortunately, he was the one who always lost in this game, because Mingnu was rarely willing to speak, and most of the time, the game seemed like he was just talking to himself.

No one likes a game where they always lose, so Lin Guang quickly gave up on it.

I turned to other games, such as adventure games, specifically to explore how big this area is and what is distributed there.

But it’s also a boring game.

The Infinite City is expanding every minute, and at the same time, this place is constantly changing. Gravity is completely irregular, and anywhere can be the floor, and anywhere can also be the ceiling. The direction you are in is just the previous point, and you have to go to the next point to confirm where the so-called "down" is. How can you find the front, back, left and right in a place where you can't even tell up from down?

It's easy to get lost in a place like this, and trying to remember the route is pointless. The current route and the future route do not overlap. Even if you find a center, such as starting from Mingnu and moving forward with your back to her, the destination you arrive at each time will be different.

Even the paths are different.

The only thing that remains the same is that there seems to be no exit.

Maybe the exit was hidden behind a window or door, but ever since Rinkou opened a window and looked into Kokushibo's eyes, he didn't do that often.

But a living ghost can’t be bored to death by dead space.

Lin Guang quickly found a new game, or rather, he became interested in the owner of this place again.

The number of times Mingnu and Rinkou spent time together was very few, so few that they could be counted on one hand.

But Mingnu knows a lot about Rinko, because Muzan often mentioned this name when he was in the Infinite Castle.

Not only the other party will mention it, but the summoned ghosts will also often mention this name, such as Yuhu, Akaza, and Lei.

In most cases, the conversation did not require her to intervene, but the venue of the conversation was Infinite City, and the members of the conversation were right in front of her. Even if she did not care, she would inevitably hear some of the words.

After doing this many times, she got to know Lingguang quite well.

Every ghost seems to describe Rinko differently. Gyokutsu said that he could be a little irritating sometimes, but mostly he was pretty good; Akaza said that he was very talented, but just lacked the energy; Rui said that Rinko was a very good "family member" and would ask Muzan to let Rinko stay with him for a few more days.

So whether Rinkou is lively, studious, or caring, it is difficult for Mingnu to tell.

However, this thought had a new answer when I met Lin Guang himself.

Maybe that's what Rinko is like, with many facets, and looks different in everyone's eyes.

For example, she felt that Rinkou was a very lively and energetic boy, to an extent that she could hardly imagine.

Lin Guang would ask her a lot of questions, so many, so many that it was unbelievable. Even though she couldn't answer most of them, the boy persisted in this meaningless behavior for a long time.

And realizing that she was not willing to be his playmate, the boy switched to a more meaningless game, exploring the road here.

There is a reason why this place is called the Infinite City. Not only because it looks like an infinite space, but also because the ever-changing environment gives people the illusion that there is no end here.

The games changed one after another. When Mingnu was wondering whether the boy would continue to explore the unknown today, the boy walked over and sat down beside her.

"Can I try?"

The answer was of course silence, and silence seemed to be tacit consent in the boy's eyes.

The hand plucked the strings, one after another, and the chaotic tones rang in the ears, very noisy.

If they were just playing around here, Mingnu wouldn't care no matter how much trouble they took or how many things they broke, but this was not an occasion that had nothing to do with her.

The boy was plucking her pipa, and the sound was very unpleasant.

This was not an occasion that Mingnu could ignore.

"Wrong location."

Rinko raised his eyes to look at her, but their eyes did not meet because of the long hair hanging down. Mingnu played the plectrum twice again as a demonstration. Rinko paused for a moment, as if thinking for a moment before reaching out his hand. The soft flesh and the hard plectrum would certainly not have the same effect, so the sound that came out was also different from the demonstration just now.

The boy tried to dial it again, and finally his eyes fell on the dial in her hand. It was obvious that he had realized the difference between the two.

Lin Guang didn't continue, but found a room and fiddled with it for a long time, doing something unknown. Occasionally, tinkling sounds could be heard from the room. When he came out again, he had a smaller pick in his hand.

Mingnu couldn't guess what the raw material of the plectrum was based on its changed appearance. She just looked at the pure white color and guessed if it might be a bone from some creature, but could bones make such a shape?

This was the problem she couldn't figure out, after all, she had never tried it.

----

Boredom is Rinko's biggest source of motivation besides Muzan.

The desire to explore the unknown prevailed at this time. Mingnu was unwilling to share her pipa, but it did not affect Rinko. He relied on his "universal little pot" and the provider of the pot to get enough materials to make a semi-finished product. With the guidance of professionals, it did not take long for Rinko to go from being in a horrible state to Mingnu speaking, and the latter being willing to listen.

After all, ghosts don't get tired and don't need to rest. When there's nothing to do, Lin Guang's only interest is to pluck the strings again and again.

So he learned very quickly. Not only did he learn very quickly, but the results were also quite good. At least Mingnu was willing to give him a compliment.

Muzan also came when he was studying. When he saw him playing this little game, he was not surprised, nor did he praise him, but he did not stop him either. He just slapped him on the neck in a businesslike manner and let him continue studying.

Only after he had learned enough did they show interest in letting him try to play a song.

It was not until he witnessed Rinko playing an entire song that Muzan finally realized that he had been locked up in this place for too long.

Lin Guang didn't know what the elder was thinking about during that brief silence as he held his chin.

But after that, Muzan did not leave immediately like he did in the previous times. Instead, he raised his head, snapped his fingers, and gave orders to Mingnu.

"Send it to Nightmare. Have a good meal."

The first sentence was said to Mingnu, and the second sentence was said facing him.

When Lin Guang's butt touched the hard chair, he suddenly realized that he should ask who the nightmare was.

【tips：

Forgot to add.

1. The plectrum that Rinko made wasn't made of human bone, or strictly speaking, it couldn't be called bone. It was made from the drumstick of Zhebotian. Yes, I want it. Since Zhebotian can make more, I'll take one.

2. The reason they gave it to Nightmare was because they saw that he had been doing well recently, so it was a convenient thing to do, and they also had a secret plan to let Rinko go to confront Tanjiro. On the surface, they wanted to let Rinko go there to get a job, but secretly, they also wanted to let Akaza go there. (Because Akaza was closer, and Gouzi was farther away, they didn't let him go.)
