Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 206 An unexpected reunion

Lin Guang was awakened after sunrise. It was called awakening, but he wasn't actually sleeping. He was just lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling, daydreaming, as he had been doing for the past few days, killing time. He spent his days this boring way, waiting for the verdict. Maybe someone would come and take him somewhere else, or maybe not. Maybe someone would come to see him, or maybe another knife would be pressed against his neck.

In short, he was waiting for some changes to happen in the boring silence.

But this state was no different from being asleep. After all, he was not doing anything and was just lying motionless in the dark, so he would be mistaken for having fallen asleep again.

The one who woke him up was Shimizu, who had a dark face. He always had this expression, maybe he was born like that, or maybe he was just like that towards him. Rinko had never seen him like that in any other way, so he could only guess that he was probably always in a bad mood.

It's really strange to say, they obviously don't get along, but whether it was the surprise when they met Makijuro's son Kyojuro, or the battle in the flower street, or this time when they were discovered in a mess, they were all inseparable from each other.

He keeps meeting people he doesn't like that much, just like Douma always appears in front of him when he doesn't want to see him.

That doesn't make sense.

"Kid, the sun is burning your butt. Hurry up and get into the box. Otherwise, I'll just throw you out in the sun."

The tone was even worse than Douma's. Rinkou sat up from the ground, and the wooden box rolled to his side with a thud. After it stopped, the wooden door that was not closed opened automatically and faced him.

He had seen this box before. He was brought back in it before, but he had seen it before, on the train. Oh, yes, it should be the same kind of box that Tanjiro used to carry Nezuko. It looked like it was made by the same person, but his looked a little smaller.

"understood."

The lingering cricket pupa entered the box and closed the door. The small box was pitch black. Even if he hadn't made it smaller on purpose, it could just fit him. It was a long time since he had liked such a narrow space. There were walls all around, and he was the only one in his sight. This feeling of being surrounded and wrapped gave him a subtle sense of security. It would be great if the lid was open above his head. He could then lift the lid slightly and look outside through the small gap.

Lin Guang thought subconsciously as he reached out to touch the texture of the wooden board. His fingers groped around to the top of his head, and he stopped belatedly.

Why does he have such an idea?

He didn't know, and he had no answer. He had no such memory in his head, only thought it was a boring fantasy. He heard the closed door being bolted and the box being locked from the outside. Did Nezuko's box also have a lock on the outside? Probably not. It sounded like his was safer.

"Go away, little brat. Stay in there quietly. If you come out and get sunburned to death, I won't care about you."

Shiya's voice came from above his head. It seemed a little muffled through the wooden board, but it was still clearly audible. Lin Guang nodded, but when he realized that the other party couldn't see him, he hummed in a muffled manner.

The box was lifted up, and the other party seemed to weigh it twice casually. Lin Guang felt the feeling of being lifted up slightly and then falling down. It was short but real. Then it seemed as if it was thrown up casually, and the box hit something. Lin Guang almost turned over in the box. When he stabilized, his butt was still against the bottom, but he knew clearly that his head was the one facing down for a moment.

So who is the kid anyway? Why is Shimi so dishonest when it comes to things???

Lin Guang actually didn't know where he would be taken, just like when he was seriously injured and lying on the ground, he didn't know whether anyone could rescue him. The moon was sinking little by little, and the sun was getting closer. Every cell in his body was clamoring to escape, but his body could not move at all until he was picked up from the ground. He saw that it was a human face, even someone he knew. When he subconsciously called out the other person's name, he couldn't even feel whether his throat was still there.

Just at that moment, he knew that he could continue to live.

It's not a good feeling to walk on the edge of life and death, but if time could go back, Lin Guang felt that he would still do the same.

Humans are more fragile than ghosts, but some humans are braver than ghosts. They know their own fragility. They know that they may die here after rushing out and may lose the option to live, but they still move forward, not only because they are brave, but also because they have something in their hearts that is more important than keeping themselves alive. Those greater goals support them in charging towards death.

Lin Guang cannot completely empathize with such people, but he can understand them because he is different from them. He is not brave enough to defeat death. He simply does not know the fear of death. He is not brave.

But he also has something in his heart that is more important than his own survival, so he can still charge towards death.

The journey lasted for a long time. It seemed that he was replaced by someone in the middle of the journey, and it seemed that he took a detour. After constant bumps, he was finally put on the ground. He remembered that he set out in the early morning, but he didn't know how long they had spent on the road. When they were waiting to land, the sun seemed to have passed its highest point, because the temperature of the box had begun to gradually drop.

Who will he meet?

Rinko was curious about such questions. He turned the names around and around in his heart, mind, and hands. He thought, maybe it would be Tanjiro, after all, they had the best relationship. It could also be Kyojuro, after all, their relationship was not bad either. Maybe it would be Makijuro or Urokodaki, they were also familiar with each other before, but they hadn't seen each other for some time, and he didn't know if the other was still in good health.

Who else could it be? Lin Guang encountered the answer in his continuous thinking.

"It's been a long time, Rinkou."

Although there were thousands of ideas in his mind, Lin Guang even thought that he might be brought before the so-called "Lord", and the name of the person in front of him did appear, but.

Sometimes reunion after a long separation can be so shocking that one is speechless.

It's not that Rinkou hasn't seen Shinobu Kocho since they parted. They met briefly once, but at that time he just glanced at her quickly. It's not like now. In his eyes, he saw Shinobu Kocho, and in Shinobu's eyes, he saw her. This is what it means to have seen her.

When they sensed each other's presence and saw each other's shadow in their eyes, it could be considered a formal meeting.

"haven't seen you for a long time......"
