"Official business! All bystanders, please step back!"
Almost simultaneously, a group of officers stormed in aggressively.
The leader scanned the scene, his gaze settling on Beimingyu, who was covered in blood.
"What's going on here?"
Sayo immediately exclaimed, "That man! That man is a monster; he killed everyone!"
Who else could be here besides this monk?
The leader looked at Beiming Island, his face immediately showing disgust and a knowing expression.
"Take down this serial killer!"
Several government officials quickly grabbed Beimingyu's shoulders.
Beiming Island did not struggle; her face was completely numb.
The accusation was like an ice pick, piercing his heart.
His blank face lost all color, and his massive body swayed.
Beimingyu opened his mouth to explain, but the girl's faint sobs froze him in place, unable to utter a word.
"It wasn't him!!"
Ryosuke stepped inside, his voice urgent.
"Wait! It's not him! The murderer is a ghost! The evil ghost that just turned to ashes! He's the protector! The person the girl just mentioned is also an evil ghost!"
The leader pushed Ryosuke aside, his eyes sweeping contemptuously over his face and the sword at his waist.
"Stop spouting nonsense, you brat! Evil spirits? What evil spirits are there?! Would the protectors let things turn out like this? Would the protectors let all those children die?!"
He pointed to the corpses scattered on the ground and the little girl who was still crying.
"The evidence is conclusive! If you dare to obstruct official business again, you'll be arrested along with them!"
Ryosuke felt his blood surging in his chest, and a violent killing intent almost overwhelmed his reason.
The Demon Slayer Corps has rules that explicitly prohibit drawing one's sword against ordinary people or harming humans.
Just as Ryosuke was about to reach his limit, a soft sound rang out.
"juvenile……"
Beiming Island forced a smile and nodded to him: "Don't act impulsively for my sake and commit murder."
Ryosuke's chest heaved, his jaw chattered, and he felt powerless and helpless.
He watched helplessly as Beimingyu was dragged along by chains, staggering forward.
That enormous body was now hunched over, filled with unspeakable grievances and despair.
Just as Himejima Gyomei was about to be dragged out of the temple gate, Ryosuke roared with all his might.
"Great monk! Raise your head!"
"You were never a murderer!!"
"You are protecting them! You are fighting for humanity!!!"
The massive body of Beiming Island shuddered violently.
He turned around with difficulty, a relieved smile appearing on his blood-stained and wounded face.
He couldn't see, but he could hear.
That voice pierced through the darkness and the injustice.
Beiming Island clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to Ryosuke, and performed a monk's salute.
"Thank you... young man."
In Chapter 7, he was using all my words!
Beiming Island was taken away.
When Ryosuke turned around, the little girl behind him had vanished.
He was furious as he stared at the overturned wisteria incense burner in front of the temple.
The original first CS.
The Demon Slayer Corps is a disgrace!
In the finale, the only Upper Moon fighter who fought seriously was still instantly defeated!
It's a fucking rainbow! It's incredibly colorful!
An exceptional individual whose character and abilities are directly linked!
Last night, he was caught stealing money by other children and kicked out. He then encountered an evil spirit and, in order to survive, made a deal with the spirit, knocking over a wisteria incense burner, which led to this tragedy!
He was also the culprit who turned into a demon before the finale, causing Jigoro to commit suicide!
This beast has now resumed his life as a wanderer, and was later rescued and taken in as a disciple by Jigoro.
In order not to upset that old man, Jigoro.
Ryosuke secretly vowed to find Kaigaku beforehand and kill him before anything happened!
However, the most urgent task now is to save Himejima Gyomei.
Ryosuke took out a simple pen and paper that he always carried with him and wrote a letter.
"To My Lord:"
Urgent report from Class C member Yasui Ryosuke!
The massacre at the Hinodeyama Temple in Tokyo Prefecture was not committed by the monk Kyōmeijima.
The real culprit is a man-eating demon, and Beimingyu fought bravely to protect the children and was injured.
The only surviving child was frightened and falsely accused, leading to the wrongful arrest by the authorities.
Xingming possesses immense strength and unwavering willpower, making him a valuable fighting force against evil spirits!
My lord, please use the power of your family to intervene immediately and save his life!
For details, please consult local hermits.
Ryosuke Yasui urgently presented this document.
He rolled up the paper and stuffed it into the hummingbird's claw.
"Go! Deliver it to our lord as quickly as possible!"
With a flap of its wings, the hummingbird pierced through the morning light and sped off toward the main residence of the Ubuyashiki family.
Ryosuke breathed a sigh of relief and did not return to Momoyama.
He searched the entire Sunrise Mountain area thoroughly.
As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed.
Ryosuke was very dissatisfied that he had come out empty-handed.
He is very angry now!
If we don't kill a few ghosts to make them lower their heads, we can't vent our anger at all!
While we're at it, let's also try our luck and see if we can find Kaigaku.
Tokyo Prefecture Prison.
Kagaya and his wife Amane, led by a jailer, walked through the corridor and stopped in front of an iron gate.
The cell was small, with water seeping through the stone walls, making it extremely damp.
In the corner, a burly figure almost filled the narrow space.
Upon hearing someone approaching, Beimingyu's body trembled slightly, but he did not look up.
The jailer wisely withdrew.
An eerie silence fell over the cell, broken only by the crackling of the burning torches.
Yaozai took a light breath and spoke first.
"Master Beimingyu".
Beimingyu raised its head.
Yaozai's voice continued, gentle and calm: "I know you are not the murderer."
"You are a protector, a warrior who fights to protect the innocent."
"You shouldn't have to bear the blood debts of the temple."
For some reason, Beiming Island suddenly laughed, a hoarse voice squeezing out from deep in his throat.
"This sir... before I was brought here... on that hellish morning..."
Beimingyu paused for a moment, then continued, "There was also someone... a young man who shouted the exact same words to me as you just said."
An eerie silence fell over the cell.
"Exactly the same?"
Beiming Island nodded: "He told me to raise my head and said that I was not a murderer, but that I was protecting humanity and fighting for humanity."
Yaozai's lips twitched.
He used all my words!
Is this right?!
Without even thinking, Kagaya knew who the boy Himejima was talking about was.
"Ryosuke..."
Beiming Island laughed: "So his name is Ryosuke..."
"The owner of that voice, that voice that struck like thunder in the boundless injustice and darkness, was named Ryosuke."
