Chapter 2298 Protest
The monks at the shrine chanted to help Tanjiro, allowing him and his sister to win the two-on-three battle, protecting an innocent passerby and a target girl.
Two of the three ghosts with the ability to move on objects died and one was injured. The remaining ghosts were unwilling to tell Tanjiro any news. He was about to face the purification of many monks.
Tanjiro didn't know what kind of organization the shrine was, but they looked very professional, so he had to thank them this time.
"Purification? Is there a possibility that he can recover?" Tanjiro wanted to save his sister and turn her back into a human.
"We can't turn ghosts back into humans. Purification is actually an interrogation to make ghosts confess information. We will keep chanting to make them tell the information. If he doesn't listen, we will keep chanting." The monk said.
It's really the style of the monks, just chanting, this is too ordinary, can chanting influence ghosts? Tanjiro didn't know what to say, anyway, he thought these monks were weird.
But since the monk said it, maybe it really works. Although Tanjiro was skeptical, because just now the ghost said that he didn't remember how many girls he had eaten, just like people don't know how many chickens and ducks they have eaten.
In the eyes of ghosts, humans are food, and this prejudice makes ghosts unwilling to accept any persuasion from humans.
"Amitabha, young swordsman, you are very brave. Although facing a large number of enemies, you have not given up. Now you go first." Taiyi said.
Tanjiro was still a little worried: "This ghost may not give up."
Taiyi laughed, feeling that the other party was worried that the monk could not beat the ghost: "Don't worry, if the ghost dares to resist him, what awaits him is not purification but salvation."
The surviving ghost did want to repair his body, but unfortunately it consumed a lot and did not have enough energy. If he was given another person to eat, he would definitely be able to revive with full blood. He also didn't believe that the monk could rely on chanting to make himself wake up.
Put shackles on the ghosts, and the monks will take the ghosts to chant.
The memories of ghosts are interlinked. The more ghosts are captured, the more ghosts will listen to the sutras. When the number of ghosts listening to the sutras reaches a certain level, then other ghosts at large will not be able to stop the sutras from entering their minds. They have to listen to the sutras whether they eat or sleep. These Sanskrit sounds will become a part of their lives. This is the full picture of the purification plan.
Now only one ghost has been captured, so the effect of listening to the sutras is limited, and only some weak ghosts can hear the sutras.
Tanjiro is safe and sound, and he will take more tasks next.
Duran said that the Demon Slayer Corps is really harming people, and the intelligence work is not perfect at all. Poor Tanjiro was almost killed. Show the video of this battle to Aoi.
Aoi was worried about her eldest son and daughter. They were so rash to fight with ghosts, without any preparation, weak strength, and surrounded by dangers. This is too scary: "How can the Demon Slayer Corps do this? Let a newcomer deal with three ghosts. Isn't this harming people?" As a mother, she has to make a serious protest.
"Yes, I think so too." Duran said, "But protesting now has no effect, because the Demon Slayer Corps is actually just a private army, not a formal organization. Their program is just to eliminate the Demon Ancestor. As for how to eliminate it, there is no plan at all. It is completely a one-step-by-one approach. In the final analysis, they are not sure of winning, so they can only treat people as non-humans, use human lives, and use the only way."
Duran's analysis is correct, because except for the fatal blow to the Demon Ancestor by the cheater, other ghost hunters are useless, and when the cheater appears depends on God's mood. If the cheater does not appear, the Demon Slayer Corps can't do anything to the Demon Ancestor.
But the Demon Slayer Corps can't think like this. Once they think like this, the efforts of the Demon Slayer Corps will be meaningless, and all the battles will be nothing but death without victory.
So the most important point of the Demon Slayer Corps is not to be afraid of sacrifice. Their job is not to defeat the demons, but to use their own lives to exchange for more ordinary people's lives as much as possible. So the ghost hunters themselves are consumables, but Duran's series of views violate the meaning of the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Duran believes that the Demon Slayer Corps should value their own lives, but in fact, the Demon Slayer Corps has valued their own lives the least since its establishment. Once they cherish their lives, the only advantage they have in fighting demons will disappear.
"Whether protesting is useful or not, we have to do it first to know." "Master, please convey my thoughts. I hope that the Demon Slayer Corps will be more appropriate in the future. I don't want my children to be in danger again."
Duran said that he would go to see the master again.
The master's illness is very serious, but he is always disturbed by Duran. It's because he has a good temper. If it were someone else, he would not be polite: "I wonder what the master has to do?"
"Let's watch a video first."
It still needs the master's wife to describe: "This is Tanjiro's battle scene. He and his sister who turned into a demon are fighting against three demons." The virtuous wife knows that her husband remembers the name of every demon hunter and the boy Tanjiro.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"Tanjiro won." The wife said.
The master nodded: "Master, what does this mean?"
"Tanjiro went to hunt demons based on your information, but your information was too inaccurate. If he didn't have a sister, he would have died at the hands of three demons. I'm here to protest, you're harming people."
The leader was speechless: "Ghosts are cunning, and we can't really get accurate intelligence. We can only rely on ghost hunters to adapt to circumstances."
"Then you have hunted so many ghosts, don't you have any experience? For example, the appetite of ghosts, judging the appetite of ghosts from the frequency of disappearances, haven't you ever summarized the average amount of food a ghost eats?" "If the frequency of disappearances is high, it means that the ghost's appetite is big, then this evil ghost must be strong, or there are a lot of ghosts, haven't you counted it?"
"Shame on you, we don't have these statistics in the Demon Slayer Corps." The leader said: "If Tanjiro dies this time, then we will send a stronger swordsman next, we don't have the work of predicting."
"You guys, it's also a blessing that there are many people who have grudges against ghosts, otherwise I really don't know how you can maintain the number of people in the team. With your work attitude, and the way you treat the lives of ghost hunters as nothing, those who have no sense of responsibility and no hatred can't stay in the Demon Slayer Corps at all."
In fact, there are some. Working in logistics, the salary is still good, and you don't have to work hard. But if you want to work hard, you must have a sense of responsibility and hatred, at least one of them.
"Master, you are kind, I understand. But we don't have many trump cards to defeat the demons. If the team members are afraid of sacrifice, we have no chance of winning." The head master said bluntly.
"I understand. Without a strong man like Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, the Demon Slayer Corps is unlikely to win. It can even be said that every challenge to the demon ancestor is a gamble, but I still believe that only the living demon hunters can create miracles, and I still don't want them to die for no reason."
"I admire your compassionate heart, and I also hope you can give more suggestions. Although I don't have much time, I hope you can tell these opinions to my children, the next generation of head masters." The head master doesn't have so much time to start the reform now, but his son can change slowly.
