Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 204

Standing in front of her, Kazama looked at her calmly with those blood-red eyes that had returned to the previous color.

After a while, he suddenly patted the handle of the knife on his waist, skipped Liu Quan, and looked at Qianhe.

"Hey, female ghost, are you really not going with us?"

Chizuru, who seemed to have been taken aback by Liu Quan's explosive roar just now, became nervous again when he heard that, and subconsciously pulled out the small Taidao, holding the sword in both hands, pointing at Kazama tremblingly.

"No... I, I don't want to go with you!!"

Her voice was trembling at first, but at the end, it became high-pitched, as if she had made a final decision.

Kazama stared at Qianzuru and the little dagger in her hand that represented the purest blood of the Yukimura Clan, the Ghost of the East.

After a while, his sight shifted and landed on Liu Quan's face.

He saw that human girl with a strange and powerful ability clenched her teeth, so hard that even a tight line appeared on the side of her cheek.Tears rolled in her eyes, but none of them fell.

He suddenly snorted coldly.

"What? Feel sorry?"

He heard the human girl be silent for a moment, and then replied with a firm tone: "...It's a pity! Originally, I thought that we would be able to compete on the battlefield..."

He snorted haughtily.

"Hmph, childish. . . . One of your enemies died, which is a good thing for you."

"...I'd rather he live and be defeated by my hands!!" She raised her head suddenly, a certain light flashed in her eyes, and her lips were pursed into stubborn lines, as if she was trying her best to endure some emotion.

"I haven't defeated him beautifully on the battlefield, just died like this...Damn!! Can't I live well until the day I defeat him!?"

...Actually, such an idea is an extravagant wish.

Changzhou and Satsuma will win the final victory.Shinsengumi alone... no, even with the power of the entire shogunate, it is impossible to defeat them.

This is an irrevocably heavy truth.Just as Takasugi Shinsaku left the stage in such a hasty manner, it is irreversible.

The male ghost with dark skin, long curly hair, unrestrained and casual personality suddenly jumped down from a high place and stared at Liu Quan's face in disbelief for a long time.

Then, suddenly, he said, "Hey, you can't beat him."

Liu Quan frowned and stared at the rough male ghost.

She recognized this male ghost named Haru Shiranui, but at this moment he suddenly came out to talk to her, and she vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a hidden setting in the original game that he and Takasugi were friends.

This guy has a straightforward personality, and he probably couldn't figure out why Takasugi would send a weird poem to someone in the Shinsengumi at the end.

In fact, she couldn't figure out Gao Shan's intention.There is no extraordinary friendship between them. According to the setting of the original game, Takasugi should like the girl she met in Shimabara, Kirishima Sasuke.Nor was she so narcissistic that she thought that talking to Takasugi twice could fill up the other party's favorability.

...Perhaps, this can also be regarded as a karma, making him think that it is necessary to end his life and say goodbye when his life ends?

Before she could answer Shiranui's words, she heard a boring nasal voice from Kazama.

"Hmph, disappointment." He said, turning around without warning, as if he didn't plan to cause more troubles in Shinsengumi's territory tonight.

"gone back."

Shiranui made a very surprised and a little boring voice.

"Ah~ It's like this again. If you say you don't do it, you don't do it... Or are you talking to yourself like this?!"

Kazama walked straight towards the door as if he had never heard of it.

Shiranui also folded his hands behind his head and followed Kazama leisurely while complaining.

Amegiri Jiuju also came over from the side to join them, saluted very politely in the direction of Hijikata, Liuquan and Qianzuru, said "Farewell" before turning to follow Kazama and Shiranui's footsteps.

Of course, as the super boss of this game, he won't leave without a cool exit speech.

Kazama stopped at the gate, paused for a moment, and then said: "...Ghosts and humans can never be compatible. If you want to show off, then please do so. However, when the day of your failure comes At that time, that female ghost will belong to me, okay?"

This blatant provocation obviously hurt the deputy chief's strong nerves.He shouted angrily: "...you don't want to do whatever you want!"

Kazama snorted and continued to walk forward, as if he suddenly lost interest in everything in the Shinsengumi village.

Watching the three ghosts who came and went as if they were in no man's land gradually walked out of the gate of the village, Tufang's face was tense, and his expression was extremely serious and dignified.

Qianhe seemed to be afraid only now, her knees gave way and she knelt down on the ground, but she was greatly relieved.

Still holding the thin piece of letter paper in his hand, Liu Quan stared at the backs of the three ghosts walking away, silent for a long time.

The Shinsengumi couldn't win the Choshu Domain, and the shogunate couldn't win the Choshu Domain either.Of course she knew what kind of desperate situation she was about to face.

However, the person who made it all happen, the person who made the remote and poor clans like Choshu start to think "you can do it yourself", is no longer there.

... However, she wants to go against the irresistible trend of this era and save this precarious world.

Takasugi-kun, I also seriously intend to change the world.

What did Shiranui say just now? "You can't beat him"?

In the end, she said in a low voice as if she was talking to herself: "...that kind of thing, it is impossible to know now."

"... Impossible to know what?!"

Suddenly, the deputy chief's voice exploded beside her.

Liu Quan: ...! ! !

She raised her head abruptly, only to realize that Shinpachi led a team that had just rushed back panting.At this moment, he is directing a group of soldiers to rescue those injured in the night attack in the wind, and he is very busy.

And when she just arrived here, Shannan, who was almost killed by Kazama, seemed to have suffered a lot just now, but now he has begun to direct the aftermath of the scene—probably because of the terrible resilience of the Rakshasa physique. .

Even Chizuru stood up with strong support, and began to rescue the wounded together with Yamazaki, who also served as a daily doctor in the village and had learned some medical skills.

After the chaos, everyone is busy.At this time, she was the only one standing blankly in front of the hall, which made her look particularly conspicuous.

Harada, who also participated in the fight with the ghost clan just now, but fortunately was not injured, passed by Liu Quan and Hijikata, looked at Liu Quan sympathetically, and sighed, probably because the deputy chief was standing next to her and didn't care. Without saying much, I hurried over to help others.

In the entire square, only Liu Quan and Tu Fang stood there.Others shuttled around, rescuing the wounded, cleaning the battlefield, busy.

After a moment of silence that resembled a confrontation, Liu Quan spoke.

"Deputy Chief, what else do you want to know?"

There seemed to be a strange smile and a slight provocation in her voice, and Tufang was stunned for a moment.

However, he soon realized that this was not a good place to talk.

Although he just went through a hard struggle that consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, he instinctively foresees that the process of getting the truth and explanation from her should also be a hard struggle no less than just now.

He barely suppressed the anger that gradually rose in his heart, with a hint of confusion, and said in a deep voice: "...Follow me."

Then he turned around first and strode towards his room and office.

Entering the house, the lamp that he had been burning because he was dealing with business late at night shone brightly.

On the table was the oil lamp she had brought from her room to light him.

After that day, it wasn't that he didn't try to return the oil lamp to her, or buy her another one, but she refused.

She smiled and said, "Deputy Commander, as a soldier, I don't have to stay up late to deal with official duties, and I don't do anything that wastes my eyesight. Just light a candle."

But now, he stepped into the room with the sliding door wide open, and the first time he saw the oil lamp on the table, he felt some indescribable complex emotions surged up.

He heard her footsteps behind him enter the door lightly. Like last time, she sat down by the door, and then gently closed the door carefully, saying, "What the deputy chief wants to say is confidential, so be careful." Be careful".

He stood in front of the table, turned around, and saw her with lowered eyebrows and a very calm look, sitting there, as if she was not at all disturbed by the fact that she was hiding such a huge and unimaginable secret.

The feeling of inner discomfort became stronger.

Tu Fang paused for a moment, and simply sat cross-legged on the cushion in front of the table, facing Liu Quan by the door, with his arms folded in front of his chest, his face tensed.

"...Say it."

He ordered her, and as soon as the voice came out, he realized that his throat seemed to be tight, and his voice seemed to be distorted. It sounded like someone else was talking.

She seemed to hesitate slightly before answering him.

In the end, her answer was the kind that could instantly ignite all his anger!

"What are you talking about, Deputy Chief?"

Tu Fang suddenly straightened his back, raised his eyebrows, and stared at Liu Quan.

"Tell me about that... that strange ability you used just now!!" He shouted, almost dying of anger.

Liu Quan sighed slightly.

"Ah, that." She seemed very melancholy, thought about it carefully, and seemed to be struggling with how to explain it; in the end, she shook her head.

"...I can't explain it, Deputy Chief."

Although the Shinsengumi, which has almost fully mobilized at this moment, occupies the front half of Nishi Honganji Temple and is busy with the aftermath, the room where the row of cadres live in the backyard is still very quiet.

The chirping of insects in the middle of the night came from the courtyard outside the door.However, this doesn't make Shinsengumi's Deputy Oni calm down.In fact, his head was buzzing with rage.

"...Why?!" He forced this question through his teeth.

As if sensing his anger from his tone, she slowly raised her head and glanced at him.

Then, she lowered her head again, and once again let out a helpless and sad sigh.

"Isn't it okay not to explain it? Why do you have to know?"

Not hearing the answer he really wanted, the deputy chief exploded in a second.

"How many secrets do you have? Let me tell you! Don't let me know all those things?! Since someone has seen that ability, you should have a good discussion about how to treat it! Explain to me carefully What's the matter, and then you have to carefully consider whether it should be used in the future, how to treat the insiders present, and whether they should be strictly ordered to keep secrets... How do you dodge like you and not tell the truth? What?! Am I not trustworthy! Or do you think I’m not reliable enough?! Do you have any self-consciousness as a member of the newly selected team, let me tell you!?”

He was so angry that he said a lot of words in one breath, and yelled out all the things that flashed through his mind after he was shocked just now, regardless of priority, and he yelled until his head hurt.

[Deputy Chief's Roar] The upgraded version of [Deputy Chief's Fury] instantly turned this room full of documents into a Shura field.

However, amidst the flames of hell, there is only the center that is burning with anger—the woman who was bravely facing the leader of the West Ghosts just now is looking down, with her hands clenched on her knees, her back straightened. He was straight, just sitting there, as if he didn't hear or defend himself against the incomprehension, anger and accusations revealed in the deputy chief's roar—even with a sense of frustration.

This kind of silent and wordless resistance made the deputy chief's anger gauge soar to the upper limit in an instant.If the anger was tangible, the entire Nishi Honganji Temple would probably be on fire by now.

"Tell me... tell me how many things you have hidden from me?!" He asked through gritted teeth, squeezing out syllables one by one.

"It doesn't matter if you have a bad past... the people here in the Shinsengumi almost all have unpleasant memories related to the past; I think that as the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, I still have such tolerance and tolerance Li... Even Qianzuru, who is not human at all, I can accept and promise to protect her——everyone, you think the same way too! As long as you show a sincere attitude and speak out frankly, it’s okay? So no What you accept is not a secret, but a concealment!..."

He seemed to be trying to convince her.However, she didn't know what stabbed her nerves, she suddenly raised her head and looked directly at him, as if there was some kind of emotion in her eyes that was about to break through the dam of reason.

"What do you want to hear from me, Deputy Chief?" She asked softly, "... Heard me say that I am actually a monster? That I was born with that ability?"

Hijikata's eyes widened in astonishment, but once she started speaking, it was beyond his language skills to resist.

"I'm not Qianzuru, I don't need protection. I didn't want to expose this ability before, just because I didn't want to be regarded as a monster here... just because I have a secret that is not harmful to everyone. Everything you do for the Shinsengumi and Hijikata-san doesn’t count? Can’t I live here with a secret? No matter how many things you do for the Shinsengumi and Hijikata-san, as long as there is something If you conceal it, it will never be accepted, right?!"
