Chapter 13

Before leaving, Urokodaki Sakonji said to Tanjiro:

"One more thing, Tanjiro, listen up."

"There is only one demon in this world who has blood that can turn humans into demons."

"A thousand years ago, the first person to become a demon, that is, the enemy of your family, and I think that guy knows how to turn your sister back into a human."

Hearing this, Tanjiro couldn't wait to ask:"What does that demon look like? What's his name?"

"No one knows what he looks like or where he is. The Demon Slayer Corps only recorded his name - Muzan Kibutsuji."

After listening to Urokodaki's instructions, Lin Guang and Tanjiro headed towards the town in the northwest direction towards the mission location mentioned by the Crow.

……

After a long journey of one day and one night, Lin Guang and Tanjiro arrived at a prosperous town.

Looking at the small boats shuttling through the river and the piles of goods at the nearby dock, Tanjiro looked around the town curiously.

"The town in the northwest, is this the one you're referring to?"

"This is it, let's go." Lin Guang took the lead and walked towards the town.

Tanjiro ran two steps to catch up and asked,"How did Senior Lin Guang know that this is the mission location that the crow mentioned?"

Lin Guang smiled and said,"I was raised by Grandpa Urokodaki since I was a child. I have been to many places with Grandpa Urokodaki."

"The town in the northwest direction refers to this place."

Tanjiro showed an envious look,"So that's how it is!"

Seeing Tanjiro's look, Lin Guang continued:"You don't have to be envious. After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, you may be asked to go somewhere, and you may even travel all over Neon in the end."

Hearing this, Tanjiro smiled slightly,"I know."

Lin Guang and Tanjiro were walking on the road in the town, and they met a distraught young man, but Lin Guang and Tanjiro didn't care. When the people in the town saw this distraught young man, they all started talking about him.

"Look, it’s He Si!"

"How pitiful, looking so haggard"

"It's because when I was with him, my wife was kidnapped."

"It's so terrible every night!"

"Oh! I've had enough! Another young girl is kidnapped after nightfall."

Hearing this, Lin Guang said,"Tanjiro, do you remember the smell of that lost man?"

Tanjiro, who also heard this, knew that this was most likely the clue to finding the ghost. Tanjiro immediately said,"Yes, I still remember, Senior Lin Guang"

"Let's go find him"

"Yes! Senior Lin Guang!"

The man named Kazumi was walking on the road, and suddenly a boy wearing a white haori and a boy carrying a wooden box stopped him.

"Mr. He Si, we have something to inquire about. Is it convenient for you?" Lin Guang said

"What do you want to say?" Hemi looked at the two strange boys in front of him and said

"We would like to ask where did Ms. Riko disappear? And how did she disappear??"

"Will you believe what I say?"

"Of course!"

Seeing that Lin Guang and Tanjiro didn't look like they were joking, Mr. Kazumi nodded and said,"Okay, follow me."

Lin Guang and Tanjiro followed Mr. Kazumi to a street.

""That's where Riko disappeared." Mr. Kazumi pointed to the empty alley and said.

Lin Guang and Tanjiro walked into the alley and observed whether there was anything unusual.

"Although you may not believe it, I really don’t know how to say it, really, as soon as I turned around, Li Zi disappeared, really."

Lin Guang said to Kazumi:"Mr. Kazumi, we believe you, because we are here for this."

Then, Lin Guang looked at Tanjiro,"Tanjiro, have you found anything strange here?"

Tanjiro sniffed the air and soon found some clues.

"The smell comes from the ground?"

Tanjiro crawled on the ground and carefully distinguished the smell in the streets.

"There is still a faint smell of ghosts!"

Tanjiro stood up and looked at Lin Guang and said,"Senior Lin Guang, there is the smell of ghosts, but it feels a little erratic and weird."

Lin Guang touched his chin and thought about it seriously, then asked,"Tanjiro, do you smell the smell of blood?"

Tanjiro sniffed carefully again, and then said with certainty,"Senior Lin Guang, I don't smell the smell of blood."

"Being able to take people away quietly, it seems that he is a troublesome guy."Lin Guang said slowly:"Tanjiro, your sense of smell is much more sensitive than mine, so I would like to trouble you to find the traces of those guys."

Hearing Lin Guang's words, Tanjiro was happy and said very seriously:"Well! Senior Lin Guang, leave it to me!"

After that, Tanjiro began to look for the smell of ghosts in the town.

When the people in the town saw Tanjiro sniffing left and right on the street, they all showed surprised and weird eyes.
