Chapter 50 The enchanting scent of blood
Chapter 50 The enchanting scent of blood
"Kibutsuji Muzan—! I will definitely kill you! No matter where you flee to, I will personally slay you!"
Nezuko, unwilling to accept defeat, gripped her Nichirin Blade and stood on the street surrounded by onlookers, roaring angrily at the end of the street.
Tanjiro also sniffed carefully and found that Muzan's scent was indeed gone, his blood-red eyes filled with resentment.
But the passersby were already terrified by the sight before them.
In their eyes, these two teenagers were clearly ruthless "madmen".
Not only did he run wildly through the streets with a knife, but he also "chopped a living person into pieces".
"They're insane! These two kids are absolutely insane!"
Someone screamed first, instantly igniting panic in the crowd.
"Call the police! Call the police right now!"
"Stay away from them! It's too dangerous!"
A chorus of exclamations and rebukes erupted, and countless terrified and disgusted gazes fell upon the brother and sister.
The surrounding noise grew louder, which quickly calmed Mizuko down as she looked at the fear people around her had of her and her brother.
She instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Oh no, there are too many people, brother...
Mizuko thought to herself that something was wrong. Slaying evil spirits on a busy street could easily lead to misunderstandings, especially since her brother had already turned into a demon and had just been engulfed in flames.
Nezuko acted decisively, reaching out to grab Tanjiro's arm, preparing to escape in the chaos.
But a sudden, shrill scream erupted from the crowd, abruptly halting her movements.
"Quick...look! That woman looks terrifying!"
Ni Douzi suddenly turned around, his pupils contracting sharply.
The woman who had just collapsed to the ground, terrified and disoriented, was now convulsing, her mouth wide open, drool dripping from the corner of her lips.
When Muzan split apart, a small piece of flesh splashed into her mouth and she swallowed it unconsciously!
In the blink of an eye, a sudden change occurred.
The woman's hair grew wildly, spreading outwards like ferocious thorns. Two bloody gashes appeared on her forehead, and two dark horns pierced her skin, emerging menacingly.
Her skin turned red and tightened at a visible speed, with veins bulging, and she completely lost her human appearance!
"Everyone, get out of here! Don't go near that woman!"
Midouzi was startled by this sudden turn of events and, without thinking, immediately pounced on the ghostly woman.
Tanjiro moved almost simultaneously with her, and the two of them rushed to the woman, pressing down hard on her shoulders and slamming her to the ground.
"Ugh! Ugh!"
The demonized woman struggled ferociously, trying to bite the bean.
With quick reflexes, Mizuko held her Nichirin Blade across the woman's mouth, preventing her from biting.
Only then did she notice that her brother had returned to normal, which relieved her.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
At this moment, the girl who had been thrown out by Muzan was crying as she watched Nezuko and Tanjiro holding down her mother, crying helplessly.
Midouzi's heart tightened, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
But when he looked down at the woman beneath him, her struggles grew increasingly frantic, her completely murky eyes churning with bloodthirsty desire, devoid of any semblance of maternal rationality.
"Quickly, the police are here! It's them! Those two devils! They just killed someone, and now they're going to kill this child's mother!"
At this moment, the police rushed over from the crowd and gasped in shock upon seeing the scene.
The child was clutching the haori of the bean sprout, and beneath them was a woman who was nearly driven mad.
"You two, release this lady right now!"
The police immediately pulled out batons and threatened Nezuko and Tanjiro.
Mi Douzi gritted her teeth, her arms bulging with veins from the effort, and shook her head desperately, her voice filled with panting.
"No! If we let go, she'll attack others. Please don't do that!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The police officer's tone became more serious, and he took a step closer.
"I order you to release me immediately, or we will have to take coercive measures against you!"
The policeman's sternness made Mi Douzi's eyes sting, the woman's screams beneath her grew louder, and the little girl's cries tugged at her heartstrings.
She pleaded urgently, almost in tears, over and over again.
"Please, don't do this! I don't want this woman to hurt anyone! Please let us treat her, please!"
Tanjiro remained silent, his hands gripping the woman's shoulders tightly.
He looked up at the police, his blood-red eyes no longer filled with murderous intent, only pleading, and a low whimper came from his throat, as if echoing Midouzi's words.
However, a man and a woman in the crowd remained calm and watched this scene unfold.
The police also sensed that things were not as simple as they had imagined, so they did not use force, but instead reached out to pull Nezuko and Tanjiro away.
"Young lady, please let go of my hand. We'll handle this."
"No, please, please don't make me let her go!"
"Please..."
"Hey, you're not cooperating with us. I'm telling you to let go!"
"Please, no!"
"If you keep doing this, I'll have no choice but to resort to force!"
Midouzi felt the police baton raised high behind her, her anxious face filled with a dilemma.
At this critical moment, Tanjiro suddenly turned to the side, reaching out to firmly protect Nezuko's back, his spine taut, as if he were going to take the blow for her.
But the next second, Tanjiro's nose twitched slightly, and Nezuko instantly caught a strange aura.
Without warning, countless flower petals suddenly rose up, completely separating them from the police and onlookers like a tide, the layers upon layers of flower walls blocking all view.
"What's going on? Where did all these flowers come from?!"
The policeman's voice reached Midouzi's ears through the sea of flowers.
[Is this...is there a ghost here?]
Midouzi thought to herself, then looked around warily.
"Da da da..."
The sound of wooden clogs reached Mizuko's ears, and she immediately turned her head to look. She saw a woman wearing a patterned kimono with blood flowing from her arm, and a sea of flower petals flowing from her arm.
"Blood Demon Art: Illusory Blood Fragrance!"
Moreover, beside the woman was a boy dressed in white, looking at her with disdain.
Is it a ghost, or an enemy?
Nezuko instantly became alert, and pressed her hand against the Nichirin Blade that the demonized woman was biting.
Tanjiro also watched them warily, but he couldn't smell any danger in his nostrils.
"She's already a ghost, and you still want to save her?"
