Chapter 297
"Why... Rakshasa...?!" He struggled to ask, with blood foaming from his mouth.
He looked down at him as if seeing her pity, but the cold muzzle on his forehead never moved for a moment.
"During the Battle of Hakodate, I deceived Mr. Hijikata, dressed up like him quietly, and rode a horse to replace him to Bentendaiba." She replied quietly, with a sneer-like expression on the corners of her lips. .
"The records of later generations seem to be correct. Not long after I passed through a wooden door...the bullet was shot from behind....Later, I was seriously injured and near death. He arrived in time and took out Mr. The last bottle that came down turned into water..."
His eyes widened for a moment.Then for some reason, I suddenly felt like laughing.
"It's Tufang...forced you...to drink...to turn into water?!" He laughed, and suddenly coughed.
"Or... Shannan... stayed?!"
He suddenly felt clear in his head.It seems that the chest pain is no longer so painful.
The words "Back to the Light" suddenly entered his mind.He rolled his eyes and smiled slightly.
"How about...? The man you love...forced you to become a Rakshasa...hahaha...you can understand...Shannan's pain now, right?" He said out of breath, beginning to feel The plot that happened to her was ten times bloodier than the script he made up by himself.
"Watching... Shannan... being wiped out, feeling... uncomfortable?" He actually started asking her about her feelings, which was really unprecedented.
"I think... that man... really likes... yours..." He continued, intending not to make her feel better at the last moment.
"By the way, you still dropped...that Akari..." He showed a sarcastic smile.
"As...a witness to the tragedy of his life...you can still be liked by him...Should it be said that Shannan is...too weak and useless...?!"
Sure enough, he saw that her brows were deeply wrinkled, and the hateful calmness on her face disappeared.
It's not that villains always die from talking too much.Nissan, the ghost animal, has already talked so much, why is he still holding his breath.Could it be that this chaotic world that is about to collapse has given him a little extra benefit as a traverser! ?
"Mr. Shannan is a gentle and brave person, and my admiration for him will never be wiped out." Liu Quan replied coldly, seemingly hesitating for a moment, but still said the following words.
"Mr. Shannan did not weakly succumb to Rakshasa's mad control until the end...I am very glad that he is a person worthy of my admiration, always has been, and will always be..."
For a moment he seemed to be choked by the saliva and the blood in his mouth, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he burst out laughing.
"This...this is really...! It's so unexpected...I really want...to see the expression on Hijikata's face...!"
He said as if out of breath.
Facing his ridicule, she replied blankly: "...Maybe he also knows this in his heart, maybe he doesn't."
After all, he was also present at the scene of Shannan's sacrifice, and he was also a witness.
Out of her admiration and sympathy for Shannan, she tried desperately to redeem his tragedy; or he used to spend a lot of patience in caring and protecting the gentle and weak little Chizuru...even when Shimabara abandoned her. Take Qianhe and leave first; even if all this existed, so what?
Life is so long, isn't it important who is by your side at the end of life, and who is expected to stay by your side?
Those beautiful scenery on the road, those tender moments faded in the old days, are like old yellowed photos, which can be properly and cherished in the bottom of my heart or in the photo album, as the memories of time passing by , isn't it?
"...Also, I drank Bianruo water voluntarily. Because I still want to live with Hijikata-san. Therefore, I am grateful to Mr. Shannan who left it and gave me another chance to live, and even if I have to bear the pain. I have to give it to my Mr. Hijikata.” She continued, her tone calm and steady.
"haha a……"
He gasped for breath with difficulty, and blood foam surged up to block his throat, and he struggled to make a hissing gasp.
Hearing her answer, he wanted to laugh.
"They... aren't they ghosts...?! If you are... from the same background as me... you should... know...!"
He struggled to get the last word out.
"Hasakura... ghost...!"
He saw her startled slightly, and then smiled slowly.That expression is the expression of someone who has already hidden everything clearly in his heart, just pretending to be ignorant.
"Whether it's a ghost or a human, they all harbor the best things in the world—"
Her face was criss-crossed with bruises and blood, and she looked really ugly.But the smile on her lips—the smile that appeared under the blood on her face, was gentle and beautiful.
"That's emotion and belief. That's enough—that's why their ideals and pursuits can infect others, but yours can't." She smiled softly, and stabbed his heart with merciless words On a heart that was already beating very slowly.
He stared at her with wide eyes in surprise.It seemed that after a long time, his whole body suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly felt that his body became very weak, as if he was about to become not his own.
"Ha, ha ha ha ha ha—"
He thought he laughed out loud.But the woman in front of him who put the muzzle of a gun to his forehead continued to put a gun to his head without moving.
"Emotion, and faith—?!" He repeated the key words she had given to his failures and the victories of those ancients, feeling amused for a moment.
Obviously... It is obvious that those ancients failed...!Same as in history... Isao Kondo is dead, Keisuke Yamanan is dead, Hirasuke Todo is also dead... And, there are other handsome guys, although they don't know whether they are dead or alive, but... they should stay away from death Not far away...
He hummed softly.
"It's all...it's all about this...that guy still...chooses you..." His eyes drifted away, and he saw a blood-covered man holding a sword walking towards him. man.
That sword...is "Izumi Mori Kanesada"...
"I...underestimated...these ancients...didn't expect...they were much more persistent than me...a lot more understanding..."
The plan to use the secret of her life experience and the fact that she did not try her best to rescue Kondo to blackmail her or Hijikata, or to attack her or Hijikata, really failed completely.
Although she was hit hard by the truth he revealed, she still had the determination to fight him to the end.Moreover, even though the man heard the fact that the woman he loved had cheated on him countless times from beginning to end, it seemed... that he was not as shaken as he imagined.
He chooses to believe what his own eyes see.
He said he was born a farmer, and that he could never become a samurai if he did not work with his own hands.But now he's a samurai.
He also said that it doesn’t matter if she was born as a daughter of a nobleman, or if she was trained as a dead man, or what kind of missions she accepted to come to the Shinsengumi... Just like his original situation, her background is something she can’t choose , but if she didn't work hard with her own hands, no one would deeply admire, trust and rely on her like today.
In the Shinsengumi, many people come and go.It's not that there are no brighter origins, but only annoying people.
He also cited Kokotaro Ito as an example.
He said that compared with those people, both Kiyohara Yukiya and Kiyohara Yukiba are trustworthy, caring, and best companions.
...This is also because she exchanged her true emotions and intentions, right? !
He laughed and coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
The man holding "Izumi Shou Kanesada" finally came to his side, squatted down and stared at him quietly.
"Tufang... Sui San..."
He struggled, saying the name one last time.
"Too...to die earlier than you...I'm really...not reconciled..." He laughed, and a lot of blood foamed from his mouth.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly turned her face to the side, and glanced at Tu Fang who was squatting on the other side of Jiu Tiao Dao Qing's body.
He was covered in blood, as he had been after every battle he had been through before.
It was the same this time... Those who fell on the ground were all enemies he faced.The person standing upright to the end is still him.
After knowing all the ugly, distorted and embarrassing truths, although he said in front of this ghost Nissan, "Hey, Hijikata Toshizo from the Shinsengumi is not that kind of person", "We will only believe what we see with our own eyes ", "No matter what name she is called, she is the most trustworthy and reliable companion", but she has no self-confidence at all. After finishing the Jiutiaodaoqing matter today and walking out of here, he will still Will look back at her again.
...How many times has she committed a crime in the middle of the game... If the Shinsengumi still exists, then her seppuku is not enough to apologize...
Those lies one after another, woven into a big net, bound her tightly.
How will I live next...
Just like what I said before I drank the water that turned into water...?
[If one day Mr. Hijikata feels unable to face me because he sees me turning into an ugly Rakshasa... then I will not belittle the life that Mr. Hijikata has continued for me.I can leave, and I can live seriously wherever I go. 】
It must be so.
The author has something to say:
February 6:
Although still suffering from severe cough and other late symptoms, the author has no fever anymore!Thank you lovely everyone for your love and condolences these days [moved to tears]
It is estimated that this volume will end within one week to ten days, and then there will be extra time~~ Or do you want to read the next volume first, and talk about extras later? :P
PS.1. Akari mentioned in this chapter is Sannan-san’s lover in history. When Shannan-san suddenly left the team, she went with her, but was finally chased back by the chief executive.In the Dahe drama, the plot is probably that Mingli procrastinates too slowly because of ignorance, Shannan-san finally has the consciousness to bear the consequences, and takes the initiative to sit there and wait for the chief executive to catch up and catch him, because he wants to Maintain the dignity and status of the law above all else in the bureau.There is also an unofficial history that Akari infects the chief minister's tuberculosis to him, because Shannan-san asked the chief minister before the seppuku and often helped him to take care of Mingli.But that's just family talk.
