Hokkaido, a village near the sea.
As a representative area of the Yingzhou region, which is vast and sparsely populated, the entire Hokkaido only has a few million people, most of which are concentrated in the Sapporo area, and a metropolitan area is formed with it as the center.
Therefore, Kibutsuji Muzan, who had just become a ghost, decisively chose to stay away from there and did not dare to stay in a crowded area.
Because, after returning to health from a serious illness and gaining a stronger body than before, Kibutsuji Muzan cherished the new life extremely, and this cherishing also turned into a strong desire to survive.
It's so intense that you have to survive at all costs.
To put it simply, this guy is very, very afraid of death. He is so afraid that staying in the city makes him feel insecure. He is afraid that he will be killed if he is discovered.
After all, despite possessing strong vitality and a strong body, human beings are as fragile to him as some ants that can be easily crushed to death.
But Kibutsuji Muzan knows very well what kind of power humans have. As a modern man, he is very aware of the terror of modern thermal weapons.
If it was in ancient times, Kibutsuji Muzan could still live a very arrogant life without fear of humans, but in modern times, if you don't have powerful weapons of your own, even if you become a ghost, you still have to play GG.
Even if his body is so powerful that it can be restored even if it is torn into pieces or turned into thousands of pieces, there is still a possibility of him being killed.
Because, he has an extremely obvious weakness, and it is also the being that all Mystery things fear - the sun!
Sunlight has the property of restraining 'ghosts'. Even he will be burned to death if he is hit by the sun.
Kibutsuji Muzan knew this from the moment he turned into a ghost, because the great being who gave him new life and turned him into a 'ghost' had already informed him of this information.
With such an obvious weakness, Kibutsuji Muzan naturally has to be careful and cautious.
So, Kibutsuji Muzan ran away with the bucket all night, all the way south, and ran to a small mountain village.
Naturally, he also saw the Light Screen image in the sky.
To be honest, Kibutsuji Muzan is a little scared, but not very scared.
After all, although the being in the image of Light Screen is powerful, it is still difficult to completely kill him with the power he has shown so far. As long as he runs fast enough when encountering those beings, no one can kill him.
If it is just the desire to survive, Kibutsuji Muzan means that he is the strongest.
What's more, the image of Light Screen is only the image of Light Screen so far. It is common sense that there are no transcendent beings in human beings - after all, the existence of Artoria has not been officially announced by the official, and it will not be officially unveiled until two days at a press conference.
Relying on his superior physical fitness as a ghost and without relying on modern tools, Kibutsuji Muzan ran more than a hundred kilometers in a short period of time and arrived at a village near the sea.
There are actually quite a few such villages in Hokkaido. After all, the land is vast and sparsely populated. Most people are concentrated in Sapporo, and the rest are various small towns and villages.
In fact, there are many rural and mountain villages within Hokkaido, many of which are isolated from the world. For Kibutsuji Muzan, those places are the most suitable places for him to go, where he can grow up and build his own ethnic group and subordinates.
Yes, Kibutsuji Muzan also wants to turn other humans into ghosts.
Firstly, it is to establish your own power so that you can feel safe and serve yourself. Secondly, when you encounter danger, you can also throw those subordinates out as bait so that you can run away with the bucket.
Kibutsuji Muzan has decided that he must not stay in one place for a long time, because the risk of exposure will be very high. He must be cautious enough. For him, chaotic places like Africa South America are his ideal places.
However, Kibutsuji Muzan was depressed and found that he could not go because his 'lord' was somewhere in Yingzhou. He was a 'higher creature' created by the 'lord' and must obey and serve the 'lord'.
The 'Lord' did not arrange any special tasks for him, allowing him to move freely and cause troubles, but he must stay in the Yingzhou area.
As long as he is at Yingzhou, he can do anything.
Kibutsuji Muzan has no choice but to commit crimes in rural areas far away from the city.
So, this human being took aim at a family of four.
They are a thirty-eight-year-old fisherman, his wife, his sixteen-year-old daughter, and his thirteen-year-old son.
The hungry Kibutsuji Muzan attacked the family shortly after the video of Light Screen ended. He directly broke the hands and feet of the male owner, removed his jaw so that he could not speak, and then ate his wife in front of him.
At that moment, the male master's heart was filled with despair, pain and grief, causing him to twist and struggle on the ground. Even if his hands and feet were removed, even if it was extremely painful, he was still struggling, staring at Kibutsuji Muzan with a pair of eyes full of hatred.
Facing such a look, Kibutsuji Muzan, who was full, narrowed his eyes, then threw away his unclean hand, stared at the man, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "What a nice look, full of anger and hatred towards me. I understand, you love your wife very much, right? You love this family very much, so you are full of negative emotions towards me who destroyed your home."
Having just become a ghost, Kibutsuji Muzan can still understand human emotions, and he was full of negative emotions towards the world not long ago, so he can understand the mood of the male protagonist very well.
"So, I will give you a chance! Let you become an advanced creature like me! When you become a 'ghost' like me, you will understand that humans, even your flesh and blood relatives, are just your food."
When the male host heard this, his eyes full of hatred and anger turned into fear, and he struggled even more fiercely, because he had understood what Kibutsuji Muzan meant. This man was like a devil. He was not a human being, but a legendary 'ghost'!
Ghosts have a unique status in Yingzhou culture. They are different from the so-called ghosts at the Flame Kingdom. The ghosts at Yingzhou are more like the monsters among the demons and monsters at the Flame Kingdom.
Yingzhou There are legends of ghosts everywhere, but they are just the existence of feudal superstition, but they didn't expect to appear directly today, and suddenly attacked their own home, and even wanted to turn themselves into ghosts.
What's even more terrifying is that this monster also wants him to eat his own children.
Devil!
This is a real devil!
The male protagonist is frightened, desperate, and sad, and even wants to commit suicide immediately to avoid becoming an evil spirit and harming his child.
However, with his limbs broken and his jaw removed, he could do nothing but watch Kibutsuji Muzan walk up to him.
Kibutsuji Muzan squatted down directly, grabbed the male master's head with his left hand, then scratched the index finger with his thumb with his right hand, and cut the finger with his long pointed nails.
The blood then dripped down and fell into the male host's mouth.
The blood belonging to the ancestor of ghosts was immediately activated. As it entered the man's body, it began to transform the man's body in an extremely crude way.
Muscles bulge, veins swell, and blood flows faster.
During this transformation, the man's injuries slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the removed chin also gradually recovered, which Kibutsuji Muzan watched with great interest.
After all, this is the first ghost and the first ethnic group he has created. It is of great commemorative significance and research value to him.
"Ah... ahhhh~~"
"Ooohhhhh~~~~"
The male host finally regained the ability to speak, but all he let out were painful, crazy and meaningless screams, and his body began to expand very irregularly, and some blood vessels even burst, causing blood to spatter everywhere, which was very scary.
Kibutsuji Muzan frowned upon seeing this and murmured in a low voice, "So, not everyone can withstand the transformation of my blood. If the body is not strong enough, it cannot withstand the transformation. No, it should not only be the body, but also the mind. The pain that needs to be endured is great, so must one be able to withstand the pain to complete the 'upgrade'?"
"That's right, I am an advanced creature created by the 'Lord'. If anyone can receive this great gift, then the favor of the 'Lord' is too worthless."
Then, Kibutsuji Muzan smiled again, because a man could withstand the transformation. Being a fisherman must have a strong body, so this thirty-eight-year-old man could withstand it.
Eventually, those unstable expansions quickly recovered, the body began to shrink, and the man gradually returned to his stable human form.
It's just that the man who was originally only 1.7 meters tall suddenly expanded to two meters. His muscles bulged all over his body, his skin became a little gray, and a horn grew on his forehead. His eyes also turned red - the whites of the eyes were light red, and the pupils were black and red.
At the same time, its teeth and nails have become pointed and long, and its image is ferocious and terrifying, very similar to Yingzhou's 'ghost' in the traditional sense.
After the man was completely transformed, he seemed to have spent a lot of energy, lying on the ground panting, and his body also exuded a somewhat foul smell.
Kibutsuji Muzan frowned when he saw this. "How could it be so ugly? It turns out that this second-generation 'ghost' transformed by me is always inferior and cannot be compared with me. Only I am special, only I am special, because I am the only perfect work created by the great 'lord', so I am the ancestor of ghosts."
"Dad? Mom? What happened to you...?"
At this moment, a confused female voice came. At the door of the opened room, a girl in pajamas covered her mouth and stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes. Her pupils shrank violently, her body trembled uncontrollably, and cold sweat broke out almost in the blink of an eye.
This is a reaction to extreme fear.
"Sister, what's wrong? Huh?"
Another voice sounded, this time belonging to a young man, also wearing pajamas, with the same confused look on his face when he came.
Apparently, the two siblings had been sleeping soundly just now and woke up after hearing their father's screams when he was transformed into a demon. Then they quickly put on their clothes and came over to check on the situation.
Then, blood flew everywhere in the room, the remains of their mother were thrown on the ground, and the scene of their father turning into a demon had blown away the minds of the two brothers and sisters.
The two children, who had never seen the world, were completely controlled by shock and fear at this moment, and lost control of their bodies in a short period of time.
Kibutsuji Muzan smiled when he saw this, and looked at the male host who had just transformed into an evil ghost. After the latter saw his child, he was stunned for a moment, and then his saliva began to secrete uncontrollably, his throat bulged, and his stomach began to tremble.
This is hunger, this is the urge to eat!
Also...
Ghost instinct.
Seeing this, Kibutsuji Muzan was very satisfied. "Okay, go ahead! Eat them, and your own blood relatives will be the first nourishment for you to become a ghost. Is there anything better than this?"
"Go! There is no need to suppress your nature. You have become a ghost and are a higher species than humans, so eat as much as you like!"
The male host's body was trembling, and two lines of tears fell from his widened eyes. However, his legs moved uncontrollably and he walked towards the two children.
Soon after, screams rang out, and horrified shouts also appeared, followed by the sound of chewing flesh and blood.
Kibutsuji Muzan watched the whole process, his eyes remained happy and he maintained a research attitude.
"So that's it. Although I deliberately controlled this person's mind during the transformation process and asked him to try to forget what happened before he became a ghost, the remaining will of a father is still there, and he subconsciously wants to resist taking action against his child."
"However, the ghost's instinct cannot be defeated, and with the blessing of my order, he could not disobey my order, so he finally had a 'meal'. In other words, if I were not around, would there be a slim chance that he could resist this 'instinct' and not attack his blood relatives?"
"Tsk, it seems that in the future, the transformation will require strengthening the ideological control of the ethnic group. Well, it is best to add a ban that prevents them from revealing my identity. I must avoid betrayers, even if there is a slight possibility!"
Muttering like this, Kibutsuji Muzan further perfected his plan to develop his ethnic group and the ghost ethnic group.
At the same time, the male owner also ate his two children with tears streaming down his face. Although his subconscious resisted and his grief could not be suppressed, he could not disobey his instinct as a ghost and Kibutsuji Muzan's order, so he finally ate the thing he cherished most.
There was nothing left, even the last bone was eaten.
All that was left at the scene was bloodstains and debris.
This originally happy family was completely destroyed.
Also disappearing at the same time are all the memories of the male protagonist's life as a human being. From now on, a fisherman who loves his family disappears and is replaced by a man-eating evil ghost!
After that, Kibutsuji Muzan left with the first evil ghost subordinate who shed blood and tears. He thought that no one knew about his actions, and he thought that there was no way to find out who he was, so he was still very calm.
However, what this Ghost King, the ancestor of ghosts who is a despicable person in the world, doesn't know is that someone with a higher level of eyes has noticed this and was made angry by his behavior.
Therefore, that being has decided to spend some Fantasy Power to shape Kibutsuji Muzan's biggest nightmare.
