Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 261

Liu Quan stepped back seven or eight steps in a row before stopping.Before she had time to look at the injury on her left arm, she heard a familiar voice sounding close in front of her eyes.

"Are you okay?!"

Liu Quan gasped in pain, and slowly moved his left arm. Feeling that it was only a flesh injury, he raised his head and smiled at the man.

"I'm fine. It's just a little flesh wound, and it will be fine soon...Thank you for saving me, Mr. Shannan."

Standing in front of her, Shannan looked complicatedly at her bleeding left arm for a moment, gritted his teeth, then turned indifferently in front of her, and set up the knife again.

"...It's fine if you're fine. If you're injured, step back and don't cause trouble for others."

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, Qianhe's scream suddenly came from the other side of the hall.

"Father?!"

Both Shannan and Liuquan seemed to be taken aback by the sudden change, and looked in that direction at the same time.

...but happened to see Tsunami Yukimura standing in front of Chizuru, being stabbed in the chest, and falling backwards, and Hijikata, who happened to be near them, slashed the knife almost at an astonishing speed, neatly killing the attacker The body of Qianhe's Rakshasa was cut in two.

"Hey! Don't look anywhere while you're fighting us!" he roared.

Shannan seemed to sigh slightly.

"Gang Dao-jun... probably won't survive." He still turned his back to Liu Quan, and said slowly, "But...he actually saved Xuecun-jun..."

Liu Quan let out an ah, and for a moment didn't know how to react.

"...Don't worry." Shannan actually spoke again.He said without turning his head, his tone lightly.

"Hijikata-kun probably came to the rescue because he happened to be standing closest to Yukimura-kun; just like you came to help me just now."

Liu Quan opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

... Are you comforting her? ...Even if he said such decisive and farewell words to her the night before coming to Sendai, but now, Mr. Shannan... still hasn't completely ignored her, has he?

She stared at Shannan's back, paused for a moment, and then squeezed out a question from between her teeth.

"So...have I helped Mr. Shannan this time?"

"...Huh?!" Shannan seemed very surprised, and turned around almost immediately.

When their eyes met in mid-air, he seemed to understand something, his tense face eased a lot, and he showed a gentle smile.

"Ah. This is the second time..."

His gaze seemed to drift away for an instant.

"In the battle, relying on your desperate protection to escape from the mortal situation, and watching you risk your life to fight against the opponent in order to protect me--" He looked at her gently, and the gaze on her face again was very calm. "Oddly enough, it's not something I can tolerate anymore, although it's still painful."

He paused briefly.

"...If this is your gentleness, then it is not unacceptable." His voice was much lower, and when he uttered this sentence, it was as low as a whisper.

He didn't say anything more, but immediately turned around, raised his knife, and faced those Rakshasa again.

...After that, the battle was over soon.

The entire Rakshasa team was wiped out by Hijikata, Shannan, Okita, and Hirasuke—plus Liu Quan, who joined later and left earlier.

Ignoring the horror of the sea of ​​blood and dead bodies, Shannan wiped the blade of his Taidao clean, put the sword back into its sheath, and his tone was as calm and gentle as ever.

"I still think it's a pity. Such a quantity is very valuable."

He rarely said it in a joking tone.

"Ah~ I don't know when I made so many, it's really fun to chop." Okita responded in a mischievous tone, then kicked away several corpses of Rakshasa, strode to Qianzuru, and squatted down. Go down and check on her situation.

Shannan smiled, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

"The Shinsengumi has lost most of its troops... Do you think the future war will be won?" He narrowed his eyes and asked the Hijikata bluntly.

With a refreshing smile, Hijikata replied straightforwardly: "No one will fight with the idea of ​​admitting defeat at the beginning."

...that's really a strong statement.Even Hirasuke had a narrow smile on his face.

"Because Hijikata-san is very competitive..."

As if to suppress the laughter rolling in his throat and more narrow words, Hirasuke deliberately laughed out loud.

Tufang's face was tense for a moment, and then suddenly relaxed.With a helpless, conceded smile, he said in a low voice, "Really...why is it that even Hirasuke has become the same as the chief executive now!"

Although the wound on his left arm was still aching, Liu Quan couldn't help laughing.

Hearing her low laughter, Hijikata cast his eyes on her for a moment, as if displeased.

"... I told you that your sword is really strange...! Sooner or later, you will suffer... Sure enough, today is because of this-" It seems that if you stare hard at the sword, it will not make such unexpected mistakes next time.

Liu Quan pursed his lips, but was not angry at his blunt tone.

"But, I can't use your long and heavy katana, deputy commander."

Now that Hijikata has taken over as the director of the Shinsengumi for a long time, I am afraid that Liu Quan is the only one in the entire Shinsengumi who still uses his old title to call him—just like Shannan, who has been declared dead for a long time, but Liu Quan has never admitted Kokotaro Ito, who actually officially took over the post of chief executive, is the chief executive of the Shinsengumi.

The strange thing is that Hijikata never seemed to feel dissatisfied or troubled by this way of addressing him.

He frowned, and his eyes drifted to Liu Quan's torn sleeves and his blood-clotted arm.

"Is your arm... okay?" He frowned so much that he could pinch a mosquito to death, as if thinking of Shannan's taunt before the start of the battle, "Let a woman who is not a Rakshasa break into the enemy's camp, and all of you have only Four people, don't you think it's too hasty?" His face became even uglier.

"Shouldn't you be asked to come along...? This task is still too much for you..." He said as if talking to himself, as if hesitating for a moment, he still walked towards Liu Quan , stood beside her, squinted his eyes and turned his head slightly, carefully examining the injured arm.However, he didn't directly reach out to grab her arm and fix it so that he could see better.

Liu Quan smiled, sighed slowly for some reason in his heart, raised his left arm empathetically, and stopped it in front of the soil surface, so that the new chief of the Shinsengumi could see her injury clearly without bowing his head .

"Fortunately, it didn't hurt deeply..." Tu Fang looked at it for a while, and then came to a conclusion in a deep voice.

"...Of course! I feel that I can fight for another 500 years!" In order to ease the tense atmosphere in the room, Liu Quan deliberately pretended to be cheerful and exaggeratedly shouted.

Okita and Heisuke burst out laughing almost at the same time, and even Shannan had a faint smile on his face—only Chizuru, who had just lost his father, just curled up the corner of his lips reluctantly—but it was enough .Tufang's complexion changed, and the veins on his forehead burst out faintly.

"Really... don't even learn from the general manager!" He muttered in a low voice, glaring at Okita, Hirasuke, and Liuquan angrily, as if doing so would be enough It seemed to stare back at the mischievous spirit of the three of them.

The laughter reverberating in the hall hadn't stopped completely, when suddenly——

"Uh...?!" Hirasuke suddenly let out a painful moan from his throat.

Almost at the same time, his and Shannan's expressions were distorted by pain.In the next instant, their eyes turned red again, and their hair became snow white!

The laughter in the hall stopped abruptly.

Hijikata, Yanagizumi, Okita, and Chizuru were all staring at Hirasuke and Shannan who had turned into a Rakshasa again without warning with an expression of extreme astonishment and disbelief.

"Sure enough...the limit has been reached." Shannan whispered as if he understood something.

Liu Quan's face suddenly turned pale.

"Limit...?! Could it be..." Chizuru stammered and asked.

"It's too early for us to become Rakshasa." Hirasuke seemed to suppress the pain in his body, forcing out such an explanation.

They used the power of Rakshasa more frequently than anyone else, and their lifespan continued to decrease due to continuous battles.Their bodies are constantly under heavy load.

...But, is it going to end here? !It was only a few short years before they became Rakshasa...

Hijikata's expression also suddenly became serious, with a look of pain on his face.

That look is not because of the physical pain, but because of the huge damage and shock that will be faced mentally and spiritually.

"Did you already know..." He murmured.

Shannan smiled and nodded.

"Because it's my own body... Anyway, I can always use my feeling to guess when I will use up all my strength..."

Before the words were finished, two thuds were heard one after another.

Shannan Heisuke's body had reached its limit, and it was difficult to even stand up with his own strength, so he could only fall to the ground weakly one after another with a bang.
