On the Infinity Train, as the conductor punched tickets, all passengers gradually fell asleep.

Even Kyojuro Rengoku, one of the most powerful members of the Demon Slayer Corps, had entered the dream world. Needless to say, Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira were also fast asleep.

As the four of them slumbered, assassins who had already infiltrated the Infinity Train approached them.

Now, Rengoku and the others, like Mika, were trained fighters who would normally wake up quickly if faced with a life-threatening situation, potentially exposing the mastermind's plan.

Therefore, the mastermind devised another method.

They decided to tie specially made ropes simultaneously to the wrists of Tanjiro's group and the assassins. This way, the assassins could easily enter the dreams of Tanjiro and the others.

The assassins' task was to find the boundaries of the targets' dreams, then use special weapons to enter their subconscious space and locate their spiritual cores.

Once they destroyed the targets' spiritual cores with their special weapons, the victims would become incapacitated.

The mastermind's plan was undeniably meticulous.

To ensure the mission went smoothly, the dispatched assassins were ordinary people enthralled by the mastermind's abilities, preventing the demon scent from awakening the Demon Slayer elites.

However, despite the mastermind's thorough planning, a miscalculation in intelligence led them to overlook Nezuko Kamado, who had stowed away with Tanjiro.

Ultimately, with Nezuko's help, Tanjiro in the dream world finally realized he was in a dream.

He then escaped from the dream.

Awakening from the dream, Tanjiro looked at his sleeping companions and called out to them repeatedly, but couldn't wake them up.

Finally, Tanjiro had no choice but to confront the mastermind alone - Enmu, Lower Rank One of the Twelve Kizuki.

After an arduous battle, Tanjiro finally managed to behead Enmu.

Unfortunately, long before Tanjiro and the others fell asleep, Enmu had already abandoned his body and completely merged with the Infinity Train.

Now, the two hundred passengers still trapped in their dreams had become Enmu's hostages.

They were currently inside Enmu's belly.

...

"Damn it!"

Holding his head, Mika slowly stood up.

Just moments ago, he had been immersed in a dream of a warm life with his family from his previous world, and the next moment he was back on this Infinity Train.

Looking at the car walls now covered in flesh and tentacles spreading everywhere, Mika's expression turned grim.

"So you're the ones who disturbed my dream?"

As Enmu fully merged with the Infinity Train, causing flesh to proliferate and tentacles to spread, Mika, still in the dream, sensed danger.

Unlike previous crises, what alerted Mika this time was a true life-or-death situation.

So he immediately used a tachyon to pierce his own neck, waking himself from the dream.

Seeing Mika suddenly awaken, the tentacles in the train car briefly fell silent before rapidly shooting towards him.
