Chapter 84 A Terrifying Night at the Kamado Family

late at night.

Kitchen door house.

In the darkness, the youngest child of the Kamado family, Rokuta Kamado, was suddenly awakened by the urge to urinate.

He sat up in bed, rubbed his eyes, and when his vision began to clear, he looked at his two older brothers, Takeo Kamado and Shigeru Kamado, who were fast asleep in bed.

Without much thought, he decisively nudged his older brother, Takeo Kamado, and said, "Takeo-nii, wake up!"

"Hmm?"

Kamado Takeo was woken up by Kamado Rokuta, and looked at his younger brother, who had called him, with a slightly dazed expression:

"Is it dawn yet?"

"I need to pee," Rokuta Kamado said in a slightly anxious voice.

"Let's go, let's go, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Kamado Takeo was instantly jolted awake by his younger brother's words.

Although it's a bit of a hassle, it's normal for my younger brother to be too scared to get up and go to the toilet alone at night because he's still young.

Moreover, with his elder brother Tanjiro absent, he, as the second son in the family, naturally had to shoulder this responsibility.

We can't let Sixth Aunt wet the bed.

Otherwise, my sisters at home will definitely laugh at me the next day.

Thinking this, Kamado Takeo led Kamado Rokuta toward the toilet.

No lights were turned on.

Because the Kamado family was not a wealthy or noble family.

On the contrary, they were just a poor family who made a living by chopping wood, making charcoal, and selling it.

Their daily life truly involves working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

So Kamado Takeo could only rely on the faint light from the moon to lead his younger brother to the toilet in the dark of night.

dong dong dong.

"Rokuta, are you not ready yet?"

Kamado Takeo gently knocked on the toilet door and called out to Kamado Rokuta inside with some impatience.

"Horse—immediately."

Kamado Rokuta said tremblingly, "Takeo-nii, don't rush me, I can't pee—"

Outside the door, Takeo Kamado looked speechless.

However, just as the two were talking...

Neither of them noticed the two scarlet lights flashing in the darkness not far away.

At that moment, a hand reached out from the darkness and covered Kamado Takeo's mouth.

Who?

Kamado Takeo opened his eyes wide, making muffled struggling sounds, and instinctively tried to remove the hands covering his body.

But the opponent was just too strong.

It was so great that he was powerless to do anything about it.

Finally, seeing that his struggles were futile, a glimmer of reason flashed in Takeo Kamado's eyes.

He frantically pounded on the toilet door in front of him with both hands.

At least—at least protect your younger brother—

Bang bang bang!

Rokuta Kamado was startled by the sudden, loud knocking, thinking that his older brother Takeo Kamado was getting impatient.

She was afraid that the other person would leave her behind and go back to the house alone.

He quickly replied, "Brother Zhuxiong, don't rush me, I'm really almost done."

After a while, there was still no response from outside the door.

Kamado Rokuta asked timidly, "Takeo-nii, are you still there?"

"Brother Zhuxiong, don't scare me, I'm scared."

However, there was still no response from outside the door.

Kamado Rokuta then gently opened the door and went out.

Not far away, a dark figure was crouching on the ground, its white teeth reflecting a crimson light under the moonlight.

In front of the shadowy figure lay a small, blood-stained body.

It was none other than Zhu Xiong, the man he had been longing for.

Fear was evident in Rokuta Kamado's eyes.

But in that instant, love for family outweighed fear.

"You monster, what are you doing to my brother?"

Rokuta Kamado rushed towards the dark figure in front of him, his small fists pounding on the figure's body.

Unfortunately, such attacks were as weak as raindrops, utterly ineffective.

With a flick of his wrist, the shadowy figure sent Rokuta Kamado flying backward.

He then turned around, looked at Rokuta Kamado lying on the ground with blood gushing from his mouth, and coldly said, revealing a mouthful of blood-stained teeth, "I was originally planning to eat this child first and then you."

"Since you're so eager, then I won't hold back."

As he spoke, the dark figure wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly walked toward the fallen Rokuta Kamado not far away.

Just then, the mother, Kamado Aoi, seemed to sense something and suddenly woke up.

"Mom? Did you hear something too?"

Nezuko Kamado, who was standing nearby, also woke up at this moment and looked at her mother, Aoi Kamado, and asked.

"Um."

Kamado Kui-chi nodded.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed feeling a dull ache in her heart, as if something unbearable was happening to her.

"Nezuko, take good care of Hanako. Mommy's going out to check on things, I'll be right back."

Kamado Aoi first calmed down the startled Kamado Nezuko before getting up and hurrying outside.

Seeing the half-closed door inside the house only intensified her unease.

Please, please be okay!

As Kamado Kui-e quickened her pace, she prayed silently for her children.

Soon, when Kui Zhi walked outside to the stove, she saw a scene that made her heart bleed.

Her two children lay in pools of blood, while a monster whose face was obscured squatted on the ground, devouring their flesh and blood.

The cruel reality bombarded her mind like a cannonball.

"You bastard, what have you done to my child?"

Kamado Aoi grabbed a stick and charged at the shadowy figure that had harmed her child, roaring angrily.

Snapped!

The wooden stick struck the shadowy figure from behind and snapped in two.

Kamado Aoi stared blankly at the broken wooden stick in her hand.

"Is it a woman?"

The shadowy figure turned around, looked at Kamado Aoi standing there dumbfounded, and murmured in a hoarse voice, "Then keep it for now. Don't rush, I will give you demon blood later."

Seeing that the shadowy figure ignored her and still intended to harm her child, Kamado Aoi was filled with rage.

He immediately grabbed the broken wooden stick and stabbed it at the dark figure in front of him.

"You lot are really courting death."

The shadowy figure turned around, grabbed the stove-door hibiscus by the neck, and said impatiently, "Why are you so eager to die?"

"Spare my child."

The intense feeling of suffocation caused Kamado Aoi's brain to become congested and red, but even at this moment she was still thinking about her child.

A pleading look appeared in his eyes as he looked at the shadowy figure.

"That's quite an interesting look."

But the shadowy figure showed no mercy, flicking its hand to toss the sunflower branch over the stove.

"That way, no one can disturb my meal."

The shadowy figure nodded in satisfaction and was about to squat down to resume its hearty meal.

Just then, a silver chain emerged from the darkness and bound him completely.

At the other end of the chain, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

Looking at the bloody scene around him.

He uttered this puzzling question: "Am I still too late?"
