Yoriichi Tsugikuni: "..."
He was silent for a moment and looked around. From the beginning to the end, the young man had a dull expression and his eyes were calm, as if his heart was so calm that there was no disturbance at all.
In fact, his heart was not disturbed at all.
Even though the scene in front of him was shocking and he was indeed surprised, his heart was not disturbed from beginning to end.
This is the mentality that belongs to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, a state that countless warriors pursue throughout their lives, in harmony with nature, and the unity of nature and man.
This kind of state of mind usually only comes after experiencing countless things, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni is born with this state of mind, so in "Demon Slayer", he can become the unique "one", called a god-like man by countless people, and also the son of God.
In today's comic book world, although Yoriichi Tsugikuni does not have the super talent that he was born with in the Demon Slayer World because there is no extraordinary power in this world, he still has a natural state of mind in which heaven and man are one.
Therefore, even if faced with such an incredible thing, even if he knew that he was the contractor of Destiny in his previous life, and this time he fulfilled the contract and became Destiny Operator, he felt calm.
Yes, it is the setting of reincarnation again, Su Yun is so cliché.
It doesn't matter if it's cliché or not, as long as it's useful.
With a peaceful mind, Yoriichi Tsugikuni directly accepted his reincarnated identity, as well as his identity as the contractor of Destiny and Operator.
He even knew what that strange dream was about - it was the memory of his previous life.
At least, this is the information he received when he accepted the 'inheritance' from his previous life given by Destiny.
Also accepted are basic information about Destiny and his identity settings.
Basically, it is no different from when Artoria accepted the 'inheritance'. After all, there are examples before, and the effect is very good. It only needs some minor modifications for different people.
Then, in front of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, another Yoriichi Tsugikuni appeared.
Exactly the same clothes, exactly the same weapons, except that the Yoriichi Tsugikuni opposite has a flame-like Demon Slayer Mark on the upper left part of his face, and is very old, with shriveled skin and silver hair, but his eyes are still calm and bright.
At the same time, the old body seems to be integrated with nature. Just standing there, you can't feel his existence, and it seems that the whole nature is as huge and vast as him, making people can't help but have the illusion of being insignificant.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was stunned for a long time, and then asked in a low voice after a while, "Are you... my previous life?"
The old man lowered his head slightly. "If it is [the same person], it is indeed true, young me."
Unlike many older Yingzhou people who like to call themselves senile, he always calls himself "I" as always.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni understood that this was indeed him, and nodded. "I understand, it is indeed the most appropriate for [himself] to train me."
Then, he curiously asked, "When did 'I' meet Destiny and sign a contract with Destiny?"
It was very fast. Once he accepted the setting, Yoriichi Tsugikuni completely integrated into his identity. He did not doubt or question, and accepted everything calmly. This is the kind of person he is.
The old man said solemnly, "What you see is when we signed the contract with Destiny, which is also the starting point of everything. When we signed the contract, our attitude at that time was recorded."
"So, I am actually not the complete 'Yoriichi Tsugikuni', but just the body of thoughts left behind by 'Yoriichi Tsugikuni' when it signed a contract with Destiny. It serves as a tool for 'Yoriichi Tsugikuni' to regain its power after reincarnation."
Yoriichi Tsugikuni nodded and said he understood, but he was more curious. "Then do you know why there are no extraordinary records in this world?"
The old man shook his head. "I don't know. In the era when 'Yoriichi Tsugikuni' existed, extraordinary existence was certain in the world. Evil ghosts and monsters were real things. I have even seen big monsters as big as mountains."
"Of course, that was only when 'Yoriichi Tsugikuni' was alive. As for what happened in the world after death and what he experienced, I don't know, because everything I recorded is just everything I knew as 'Yoriichi Tsugikuni' when I signed the contract with Destiny."
"If you want to know the truth, you have to find it yourself. Now, this world riddled with holes is using its own will to reveal the truth about the changes in the world. Maybe everything you want to know can be known there."
Yoriichi Tsugikuni was silent for a while after hearing this, and then nodded. "I understand, then, let's start the training."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth, "Yes, it's time to start. The 'I' that exists in the new era, this is the real power of 'Yoriichi Tsugikuni', just use your body to experience it, and then learn it again!"
"The power named Breathing Styles."
Yoriichi Tsugikuni: "Breathing Styles?"
Then, before Yoriichi Tsugikuni could react, the old man's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost. The katana in his hand was pulled out at this moment, and it turned into a red blade because of the strong hold of both hands.
Immediately afterwards, Yoriichi Tsugikuni felt a chill in his neck, followed by pain, and his vision began to spin.
At the same time, I also saw a headless corpse and heard the old man's words. "This is the first time, you have thirty breaths to rest."
The next moment, Yoriichi Tsugikuni fell into darkness, and endless loneliness and silence swallowed him up.
"Huh?"
Opening his eyes again, Yoriichi Tsugikuni stared blankly ahead, then subconsciously touched his neck.
It's not broken, the head is still there.
However, Yoriichi Tsugikuni knew that he had died just now, truly dead.
Looking up, he saw the old man standing in front, his katana already sheathed, looking at him calmly.
In an instant, Yoriichi Tsugikuni understood and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "Is this death... taking everything away and returning to darkness..."
Old man. "Yes, this is death. After death, everything becomes empty and nothing remains."
"..." After a moment of silence, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's expression always maintained a dull look. Even death did not really change his expression. However, his voice had a hint of anger mixed with it.
"Those monsters, those Mystery, and... the evil ghosts who killed Shi Shi in the previous life, are they bringing this kind of experience to those innocent people?"
"..." The old man did not answer, but looked at Yoriichi Tsugikuni calmly.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni did not pursue the old man's answer, because he had the answer in his heart, so he directly drew his samurai sword. "Please give me more advice."
Old man. "The rest time of thirty breaths has not come yet."
Yoriichi Tsugikuni shook his head. "No, I can leave the rest for later. Now, I need to become stronger - I don't want to lose 'her' again."
The old man knows that the 'she' Yoriichi Tsugikuni refers to refers to the latter's wife, a gentle woman now named Uta Tsugikuni.
At this moment, there was a trace of sadness and joy in the old man's eyes. "Yes, protect 'her' and don't lose 'her' again. Unfortunately, there shouldn't be a second time."
Pull out the katana and the training begins again.
In other words, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's experience of being unilaterally abused by his old self is continuing.
At the same time, in the same dream, also in Ascension Sanctuary, Artoria looked at 'himself' in some astonishment.
It's King Arthur, that's right.
But...
"Why are you black?"
Artoria issued a question like a soul?
