Chapter 4 The Heart

In a blur, a past memory suddenly appeared in Lin Chi's mind, temporarily diluting his object's flesh and blood desire.

"When you are flowing, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

Kuizhi hugged Lin Chi, who was still a young child, and asked gently.

"What do I want to do... I don't want to do anything, I just want to accompany you, my mother. When I grow up and have the strength, I can better protect you, my brothers and the others."

Aoizhi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Then you grow up when I waited for the river to grow up. By then, I will be a little old, so I will rely on the river to protect me."

Lin Chi nodded, his tone was childish but extremely firm: "Yes, I will definitely protect everyone."

Protect everyone...?

Sorry, I didn't do it...

This memory made Lin Chi gather a little consciousness, control his right hand, and pick up the axe that fell into the blood.

Holding the axe tightly, Lin Chi had a ferocious face and smashed the handle of the iron block into his fangs.

"Click!Click!Click..."

Lin Chi's fangs were not as hard as iron blocks, and he waved the axe with all his strength, leaving no remaining strength.

As soon as he came into contact, the axe handle broke all his fangs. The bone fragments of the fangs mixed with a large amount of blood flowing out of his mouth, and he vomited them aside.

There are a lot of nerves connected to human teeth, and so are ghosts.

The moment the fangs broke, the pain was piercing and bone-eroding. The pain was so strong.

The pain in the body completely suppressed the desire for flesh and blood, and Lin Chi was panicked and moved away from Kuizhi's body.

But as soon as his feet slipped, he fell on another body infected with blood.

"Sixth Mad..."

Lin Chi forced himself to calm down, even if his brain was in pain as if it was swallowed by flames.

Pressing his heart that was about to move, Lin Chi stood up.

He looked around and saw all the relatives who had no sound.

"Aoizhi, Nezuko, Hanako, Takeo, Ryuta, Shiro..."

"The brother promised to protect you from harming you."

"But in the face of the cruel evil spirit, my promise and my persistence are just a joke..."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

"And Tanjiro, you should still be alive, but fortunately you didn't come back. The only thing I can feel relieved is that you are still alive."

"I failed to protect them and desecrate my mother's body. My brother is so useless..."

Lin Chi was trapped in endless pain. When he woke up from his dream, the unbearable self-blame, fear, pain, despair, anger... all became reality.

In the Shura field full of blood and corpses, this temptation is impossible for a newborn ghost.

Lin Chi could feel that if he stayed here for another minute, the ghost's greed for flesh and blood would drag him into the bottomless abyss.

The broken fangs are also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by a more terrifying feeling of hunger.

Tears and hot blood dripped on the broken wooden board one by one.

Lin Chi made a forced decision.

He was going to leave here, but now he couldn't even collect the body of his family. There was no other way except to leave like this.

"Tanjiro, when you arrive here tomorrow, you will definitely be very painful and desperate, just like me at this moment."

"But no matter what, you must be strong, brother believes in you."

"Also, you have to arrange the remains of your family members properly... My brother really can't control himself."

Lin Chi stretched out a finger and his sharp nails popped out. He quickly carved a line of words on the wall of the wooden house next to him.

"Tanjiro, don't feel desperate. You must live, live, wait for me to come to you."

Time is urgent, Lin Chi endured his hunger and did not let himself look at the blood and corpses all over the ground.

After engraving the words, Lin Chi immediately rushed out of the door without any hesitation.

His face was full of distorted and ferocious formed by the confrontation between the desires of ghosts and reason.

"Bang"

Lin Chi rushed into the wind and snow without looking back or pause. He did not dare. He was afraid that once he stopped, he would no longer be able to control his surging desire and would go back to eat everyone's corpses.

He chose a direction aimlessly and casually, and Lin Chi moved straight away from the warm family he had been in for sixteen years.

Along the way, strong winds kept blowing, and Lin Chi's neatly repaired red hair was flying randomly at this moment.

He ran at full speed on the snow, enduring the constant feeling of hunger in his belly, getting further and further away from home.

The trees in my eyes were moving back quickly. I don’t know how long it took, maybe an hour or a day.

Until Lin Chi stopped until he could no longer smell any blood.

Looking around, he felt that the environment around him was very strange, with only the white snow and silent green pine.

Moreover, he had no home anymore, and a sense of loneliness that he was the only one left in the whole world.

“So hungry…”

Without the stimulation of the bloody smell, Lin Chi finally regained his rationality, but the hunger in his abdomen was like a burning fire, which was very unbearable.

"My arms were cut into pieces by that man before, and my face was broken. I just broke my fangs..."

"But now it's restored to good condition, and the ghost's physique is really terrible."

Although I have heard of ghosts before, Lin Chi always listened to them as stories, and never listened to them carefully. Now, after seeing them, I only realize the horror of ghosts after seeing them.

Forced himself to calm down, Lin Chi tried his best to recall what happened just now.

The bloody memories made him very painful, which was equivalent to sprinkling coarse salt on the bloody wound, making him feel in pain.

But he had to do that.

Lin Chi knew that avoidance and fear could not solve any problem. Only by calming down and facing the bleak fate could he find his goal.

"In the previous world, it seems that energy is conserved. I repaired my seriously injured body. In addition, I ran away at full speed for a while, and I must have lacked a lot of energy now. This is also the reason why I am so hungry now."

Lin Chi closed his eyes and tried hard to expel the scene he had just recalled from his mind.

But the man wearing a white top hat seemed to be imprinted in his brain and could not be removed.

Thinking of him, Lin Chi gritted his teeth hard, and irresistible anger filled his entire heart.

"I don't know who you are, nor where you are."

"But, Lin Chi, I swear here that I will find you and let you experience the most painful torture in this world to avenge my family's blood feud."

Lin Chi's eyes gradually changed, and finally became a firm look.

In this life, he gives people the feeling of being gentle and sunny, serious and positive, and willing to help anyone in difficulties.

This is because the warmth brought by Aoi and Tanjuro, as well as younger brothers and sisters, Lin Chi becomes what he is today.

What he hopes is to be Nezuko and their gentle and considerate brother, and to be the obedient and sensible son of Aoi and Tanjuro...

But now, there is only one younger brother Tanjiro left, and Lin Chi is afraid of hurting Tanjiro, so he doesn't dare to look for him now.

Lin Chi can no longer feel the warmth of family.

"Tanjiro, let me kill you a world without ghosts."
