Chapter 44 Disagreement
"When we flow... let's be good friends."
Hearing this sentence, Lin Chi subconsciously replied: "Aren't we already friends?"
I took such a big risk to save you. Who would do this if I didn’t treat you as a friend?
Butterfly Neng raised her head and blew a loud and high whistle, Lin Chi saw it inexplicably.
But Lin Chi was stunned because he smelled the smell from the Butterfly Ninja again. He didn't understand it before, but with the smell he smelled when he killed the four ghosts as a reference, he understood.
What came from Butterfly Ninja was an unparalleled feeling of sorrow and anger.
After the Butterfly Ninja's whistle was a little confused, her two-color pupils were very beautiful and charming, but Lin Chi felt a little danger from it for some reason, and he silently raised his vigilance.
Butterfly Ninja, what do you want to do? Please, please don’t let me down too much...
With blurred eyes, Butterfly Nervous opened her red lips lightly: "When I flow, I ask you, how many people have you killed and how many people have you eaten?"
Lin Chi clenched his fists: "No, I have never killed anyone, nor have I eaten anyone."
"I have only killed evil spirits and eaten evil spirits."
"Do you believe me?"
Lin Chi's pupils were shiny, and he looked at Butterfly Ninja with anticipation, hoping to hear the word "believing without hesitation" from her.
However, Butterfly Ninja sighed slightly: "When the river flows, please tell the truth. If you don't eat people, where did your physical strength come from..."
"Your strength is not enough for ordinary ghost killing team swordsmen who are not proficient in breathing techniques. How can ghosts who have never eaten humans achieve this strength?"
"Tell me, how many people you have eaten, it will not hinder me from becoming good friends with you. Just a little bit of punishment and guilty of those who died because of you."
"I'll ask you again, how many people have you eaten?"
Butterfly endures, but does not believe in Lin Chi.
The light in Lin Chi's eyes slowly dimmed, and the Ghost Killing Team's impression of ghosts could not be changed easily.
He continued to explain: "I didn't lie to you. I can eat ghosts, so I can maintain my physical strength without eating people. The increased strength is also obtained by eating ghosts. Please believe me."
"The four ghosts who attacked Shiqiao Town were all swallowed by me, and I protected the town."
"And, I really, really haven't eaten anyone."
Hearing Lin Chi's words, Butterfly Nin's slender eyebrows frowned slightly.
Protected the town?
Could he really eat ghosts?
Could it be that he has never eaten anyone?
The ghost that doesn’t need to eat people is unheard of for thousands of years and has never had a relevant record.
Judging from Butterfly Ninja's perception of Lin Chi, he is very rational and does not have the sense of chaos and violence that ghosts give people.
But there are many similar ghosts, such as Akaza, who gives people the feeling that they are principled, self-centered, and have a very clear logical thinking in doing things.
However, Akaza also eats people.
Because humans are the only food for ghosts, just like humans must eat, and they cannot survive without eating. This is true for ghosts. They feed on people and must watch eating people to survive regardless of their real thoughts.
But Butterfly Ninja also had an inexplicable feeling about Lin Chi, thinking that what Lin Chi said was probably true.
When the river flows, I really want to believe you, but I believe you, it doesn’t mean others will believe you...
Shaking, Butterfly Ninja forced her body to stand up.
"When I flow, I really want to be good friends with you."
"But this premise is that you have received punishment and apologize to those who have been harmed by you."
Lin Chi's expression changed from hope to disappointment, and gradually calmed down: "So, do you still not believe me?"
Butterfly shook her head with a smile: "I believe in you, and I really want to be good friends with you."
Lin Chi sighed: "Don't pretend anymore, I know, you are in pain, exhausted, and angry now."
"Be good friends with me? You are not sincere, right?"
Butterfly Nin's body paused, and then chuckled again: "No, when the river flows, I really hope so."
Her smile still looked so gentle, but now Lin Chi saw something different from the gentleness.
Under that tenderness, there was an extraordinary empty loneliness and disguise of showing off, and a patience like her name.
Butterfly Ninja, what kind of person are you? I can’t see through...
Lin Chi pointed to Butterfly Nin's forehead: "If what you said is true, then why are you filled with sadness and anger?"
"I can clearly smell that the sadness and anger blocks everything about you and even becomes your code of conduct."
"Even if your smile has always been gentle, beautiful and fascinating to me, deep down you have always hated me and ghosts."
"So, please stop saying anything to be friends with me."
"If possible, don't laugh anymore, let me see who you are."
That sadness may have originated from an experience in the past, but that anger is definitely part of herself, she hates me...
Even if she saved her regardless of life and death, she still retained full distrust and anger towards herself, the ghost.
As the pillar of the Demon Slayer Team, how could he really want to make friends with Demons?
Although Butterfly Ninja didn't say it, based on the memory of Black Wolf Teeth and Miko, Lin Chi had already guessed the identity of Butterfly Ninja. At that time, he also thought of a way to save her based on this point.
After all, who can do it if you can hold on for so long in Akaza's hands?
Hearing Lin Chi's words, Butterfly Nin's eyes showed sad memories, but she quickly returned to her original state.
The smile is beautiful, and there is no trace of sadness and pain.
Butterfly stroked her eyebrows, looking a little distressed: "After so long, this is the real me..."
After saying that, she changed her mind and asked solemnly: "Will you go back to the Demon Slayer Team with me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, on the contrary, I'm willing to believe your words."
"It's just that what you said is too incredible. Even if you say you are stealing things from the hospital's blood bank to eat and drink, I will believe it without hesitation."
"But, what you said about eating ghosts really makes me unable to believe. Even if what you said is true, it is beyond my understanding."
"So go back to the Demon Slayer with me. If what you said is true, go back to the Demon Slayer with me, and we will conduct research and test you."
"Your words are true or false, you will know then."
"I promise you with my body as a pillar that as long as you tell the truth, you will definitely be safe in the Demon Slayer."
If he doesn't lie to himself, then the lord will definitely be very interested in him. And if he can prove that what he said is true, I can be good friends with him without any grudges...
Listening to Butterfly Ninja's words, Lin Chi's heart became more and more calm and indifferent.
Return to the Demon Slayer?
Leave your life to the ghost hunter to make a decision?
Make yourself the fish on the chopping board?
If Lin Chi was willing to agree, then he had already agreed to Akazo and stopped.
Going back to the Demon Slayer with Butterfly Ninja, that's a life-threatening one.
It is estimated that eight or nine out of ten people from the Demon Slayer have extreme hatred for ghosts.
Butterfly Ninja, you in front of me are the best examples.
That hatred of ghosts has become so strong that it condenses into substance in my perception.
Go to the Demon Slayer Team, most of the people waiting for me are death...
Moreover, Butterfly Ninja, you have let down my expectations for you. Do you still want me to believe you again?
