Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 160 Accident

Faced with the two ignoring him, Li Lei felt that was enough. Taking care of her all along wouldn't turn his biological mother back into a human. He might as well beg him; perhaps if he could appease him, he would tell him the possible way to turn their mother back into a human.

Unfortunately, the two lacked awareness, focusing solely on caring for their mother who had turned into a ghost, completely forgetting that their boss, Li Lei, was also present.

Who is Li Lei? He is the Lower Moon One of the Twelve Demon Moons, a terrifyingly powerful being whose strength is comparable to that of the Upper Moons. Killing demons and humans is as easy as eating for him. How could he possibly suffer such humiliating treatment?

Ignoring someone or something will be remembered, and you'll definitely repay them when you have the chance!

So Li Lei finally couldn't take it anymore. This huge ghost was right next to him, and he didn't even glance at it. Did it think he was doing charity work?

Immediately, Li Lei, displeased, tapped the jade-like handle of the bone base with his fingers. Xuanmi and Shimi's mother, who was tied to the bone jade bed, moved away from the bright room along with the bed.

The two brothers, who tried to stop their mother from leaving, were immediately bound by the silk threads released by Li Lei and were unable to move.

"Mother!!"

"let me go."

What are you going to do?

"Please let me see my mother, sir!"

The two men, finding their resistance futile, immediately pleaded with Li Lei for help.

But Li Lei had already made up his mind, so he couldn't just agree so easily. He then quickly moved their mother to the other side and placed her with their younger siblings who had turned into ghosts but were in a deep sleep.

Having done all this, Li Lei clapped his hands to attract the attention of the two brothers, then swaggered up from the white bone throne, ready to issue a mission.

Since they agreed to be his subordinates, they should be prepared to share his burdens at any time. He happened to have many ideas that he wanted to verify one by one, so they didn't give them time to rest. After all, he loved learning.

"Sir, could we please see our mother one last time? We brothers beg you."

Bound by the silk threads and unable to move, Sanemi pleaded with Li Lei, and Genmi, standing beside him, also nodded eagerly in agreement with his brother's request.

The bed and its inhabitants were swallowed up by the white wall right before their eyes. The two brothers were very worried about their mother's situation. The dark figure clinging to them, Li Lei, didn't look like a good person at all.

They would regret it for the rest of their lives if something happened to their mother.

Looking at Sanemi, whose tone was tense, and Genya, who seemed at a loss, Li Lei sighed softly, feeling troubled. He then raised his hand to untie the silk threads binding their hands and feet.

At that moment, the wall where their mother had disappeared split open from the middle to both sides, revealing their mother, who had just been put into a deep sleep by Li Lei using special methods, and their younger siblings, whose lives had been saved by Li Lei turning them into ghosts.

"Hong, Qin, Jiuye, Sadako, Shoumei."

Looking at his younger siblings, who were also in a deep sleep, Sanemi couldn't believe his eyes. He thought they were all dead, but when he saw his younger siblings still alive, his body trembled uncontrollably, tears welled up in his eyes and flowed down, wetting his clothes. He quickly stepped forward.

"That's great! You're all alright, that's wonderful."

With excited steps, leaving droplets of water on the ground, Sanemi finally arrived at the room where his mother and younger siblings were sleeping.

Looking at my mother and younger siblings, whose breathing was steady, whose sleeping faces were peaceful and serene, and whose whole bodies were relaxed.

With tears streaming down her face, Sanemi smiled happily, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves from time to time. She raised her hands and took her mother's and younger brother's hands and placed them on her face, feeling their presence as if they were still alive.

That's great, it's all real, I'm not dreaming, they're all still alive.

He was so excited that he ignored everything around him. If Li Lei had gone over and kicked him, he probably wouldn't have been angry.

Xuanmi was very happy to see this. It was so good to know that his brother was alright and that his younger brother and sister were also alright.

Looking at everything unfolding before him, Li Lei felt no emotion, but rather an unusual calm.

He couldn't feel the joy of Sanemi and Genya's family being recovered, and his feelings gradually faded as he became a demon.

At this moment, he felt so strange. He knew how to distinguish between good and bad, to punish those he considered bad and to give help to those he considered kind, but he could not understand or feel joy.

It used to be possible!

Li Lei raised his hand and touched his chest. He could feel his heartbeat, but there was no warmth, as if he were dead.

"How ridiculous, is this me now! A cold-blooded monster who lives by eating people."

"Since we are no longer human, why should I abide by the rules of being human and use them to bind myself?"

"It's better to follow your heart, do whatever you want, kill all those who follow the Dao, eat them, and make yourself better and stronger."

With these thoughts surfacing, Li Lei's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked at the brothers Sanemi and Genya. He then spread his arms wide and suddenly exerted force, shattering his own skull and brain.

Red and white liquid splashed in the pure white room. Li Lei's headless body retreated to the throne where he had been sitting, waiting for his head to grow back. Soon, Li Lei's new head grew.

The red and white brain matter surrounding Li Lei was absorbed by the living wall after his head grew out.

"Sigh—Sanemi Shinazugawa's extremely rare bloodline has such a great influence on him. Just now, he almost couldn't help himself and killed someone without realizing it."

Li Lei was somewhat relieved; thankfully, he had managed to control his inner desires and smash his own head open, thus preventing a tragedy from occurring.

Otherwise, Sanemi Shinazugawa would be in danger, and the Demon Slayer Corps would lose a powerful Pillar.

On the Shinazugawa brothers' side, Genmi was startled by Li Lei's actions. Hearing the sound of something breaking, he curiously turned to look at him, and he probably will never forget it for the rest of his life.

At this moment, Genmi's understanding of Li Lei suddenly became confused, while his older brother Sanemi was still immersed in the warmth of regaining his family, unable to extricate himself.

Li Lei, whose head had been regenerated by Xuan, coughed twice, pretended nothing had happened, and once again controlled the shadow to envelop his head. He sat there calmly, as if his act of self-destructing his head was nothing out of the ordinary.
