Chapter 554 [Chapter Guizhang Saito Line] 34
Late night the next day.
The day has been cloudy since early morning.In the evening, the dark clouds finally dissipated a little, and the setting sun showed half of its face through the gaps in the clouds, and weakly cast orange-yellow light on the earth.
The Jiutiao family had a rather peaceful day.
Patriarch Jiujo Zhongshun hurried out early in the morning as usual, and young master Jiujo Daozhi seemed to be going to some university today to have a meeting with scholars there to discuss plants.Only Miss Zezi was at home, but she was bored in the room all day long.
In the evening, Master Zhongshun and Master Daozhi both came back, but Miss Zezi said that she had a migraine and needed to rest first.Master Daozhi lingered at the door of Miss Zezi's room for a long time, showing a worried expression, but finally did not go in.
... don't know what happened.
The maid Keiko thought so.
After she knocked on the door a few times and got permission from Miss Zezi, she opened the door and went in. She saw Miss Zezi sitting there with her back against the head of the bed in a room with no lights on, covered with a quilt. , who had apparently been asleep for a while, only sat up because she came in.
The curtains were not drawn in Miss Zezi's room, and the unexpectedly bright moonlight came in through the window tonight, and Keiko could vaguely see the tiredness on Miss Zezi's face.
Keiko respectfully placed the tea and snacks on the side table according to Miss Zezi's instructions, then stepped back, and turned around to close the door for Miss Zezi.The moment the door closed, she saw that Miss Zezi seemed to be in the darkness of the room, looking forward as if in a trance—and in front of her was the window illuminated by the moon.
Keiko thought about it, but in the end, he still didn't tell Master Daozhi about the last scene.
The owner of this mansion is Lord Zhongshun.However, apart from him, no one seems to dare to really violate Miss Zezi's intention.
When she went in just now, Miss Zezi had told her that she probably had a migraine because she didn't sleep well the night before, and she needed to rest early today, and hoped that no one would disturb her sleep.
This "anyone", of course, also includes Master Daozhi.
Keiko is a well-behaved and competent maid, who quickly put down the worried-looking Master Daozhi with words and coaxed him back to the room.
And in Jiujo Mansion—no, the entire imperial capital has almost fallen into silence in the middle of the night, but there is a figure running wildly in the street.
In front of that figure were two men with snow-white hair and indistinct growls from their throats.When the figure chased each other quickly and finally blocked the two white-haired figures in a dead-end alley, the two white-haired figures had no choice but to turn around at the end of the alley.
Their eyes were blood red, and bright red blood was dripping from their mouths that were open and roaring.If you look carefully, their skirts are also stained with blood.
The figure who was chasing after them also stopped, only a few steps away from them.That figure doesn't look very tall, with a thin figure, almost like a young boy who hasn't grown up.
Then, the boy gave a short sneer.
"Human blood...is it good to drink?"
Those two people with snow-white hair and blood-red eyes, who seemed to have lost their minds, howled and did not answer the boy's words.
"Ah, have you lost your mind?" the boy said as if talking to himself.
"...Then what's the point of the so-called 'improved Rakshasa'?" He continued in a complaining tone as if angry.
"Is it just for the convenience of... assassinating the enemy like this?"
The young man said in a fluttering manner -- an incredible line.
The next moment, his pupils, which were as bright as stars even in the middle of the night, shrank slightly.
Because the two figures he called "improved Rakshasa" - a terrifying term that has not been mentioned for some years since the shogunate completely disappeared - suddenly let out a terrifying roar!
Then, as if following the bloodthirsty consciousness engraved in their bodies, they all rushed forward!
As Rakshasa, they don't have the sober ability to accurately control weapons such as pistols that require higher shooting accuracy. At most, they use rifles. It is not a suitable style of painting to swagger through the street with a rifle.Therefore, the weapons they used turned out to be sharp short knives hidden in large kimonos.
Rakshasa is not afraid of bullets or sword injuries, only the wounds caused by silver bullets will not heal, but they are not fatal; moreover, they will not die unless they are hit in the heart.
So they made full use of this feature and the advantage of being so fast that it was almost impossible to react (?), and they rushed out quickly every time they stabbed, and retreated immediately after a successful blow.Even if the assassinated opponent has escorts or pursuers, it is difficult to cause substantial damage to them, and it is even less likely to be able to catch up and arrest them.And when the target of the assassination is unprepared or weak, they will also kill several people accompanying them and then suck their blood. This is the truth about the serial killings that have been raging on the streets of Tokyo since this period .
Moreover, when the madness and bloodthirsty of the Rakshasa in their bodies cannot be restrained, they will break free from the restrictions and orders of their masters, and kill innocent civilians at will on the streets late at night before sucking blood.
But now, these things must have an end.These twisted and cruel creatures, which cannot even be called "humans", cannot be allowed to continue to wreak havoc.
The young man calmly stared at the two Rakshasa who had already rushed forward while screaming.
In the next second, a Taidao appeared in his right hand!
No one could clearly see when and how the sword appeared in his hand, as if in a flash, he had already crossed the sword quickly, and with a bang, he caught the two Rakshasa in time. The sharp blade stabbing at him!
In the middle of the night, in the deserted alley, the boy fought fiercely with that kind of unscientific, bloodthirsty and powerful creature with one against two.
Although the Rakshasa physique can erode reason, but the Rakshasa is transformed by a human after all, and the most basic movements and coordination are still there.At this time, they had the superiority in numbers, and because the other party was only a young man, the two of them surrounded the young man one after the other, and launched an attack on the young man, shouting frantically.
The boy's speed is very fast - it is better to say that he was using his speed in exchange for the space to tear apart the opponent's defense line.
Being able to chase Luo Sha so far, his running speed is already unimaginable; but once he starts to move, his sword speed is even faster.He swung the Taidao around like a winding bright ribbon, and soon tore a gap in the encirclement that the two Rakshasa seemed to have trained well-removing the one that was originally closed. The small encirclement circle intended to compress his movement space was stretched too large, and the attack between the two Rakshasa gradually had a gap that the sword could not reach.
Suddenly, the boy let out a cry.
In the next second, only a bang was heard, and one of the Rakshasa's short knives was cut away by him.Holding the Taidao, his forward strength remained unabated, and he suddenly let go of his left hand holding the hilt in the air, and only held the saber with his right hand temporarily, then quickly withdrew his left hand and pressed his palm firmly against the bottom of the hilt , follow the momentum and send it forward——
snorted.
It was the sound of a knife piercing flesh.
The boy didn't put on a cool pose after stabbing his opponent handsomely.
He simply drew the knife outward.With a bang, the blood-stained sword was pulled out of Luo Sha's body, and a large stream of blood spurted out from Luo Sha's chest!
The Rakshasa fell to the ground with a heavy plop and stopped moving.
Although the other Rakshasa's consciousness had been dominated by madness, he glanced at the scene where his companion was dealt with by this neat knife, and couldn't help howling—but took a step back.
The young man didn't give him room to escape, and he rushed forward the next moment, the blood-stained blade sliced through the somewhat dull air with a swish, and stabbed towards the remaining opponents.
Dangdangdangdangdangdang sounded several times in a row as the blades of the two sides intersected.Suddenly, with a sudden swish, the young man stabbed the arm of the Rakshasa with a knife, and the Rakshasa let out a howl of pain.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"
Blood gushed from his wound, but the wound did not heal as he hoped.
The Rakshasa looked down at his wound as if in disbelief, and then raised his head to stare at the boy.
"Why..." He said the first words since he met the boy tonight.
"Injury, wound...?!"
The boy stopped two or three steps away from him, and the moonlight slanted into the alley, reflecting on his delicate and feminine face.
The young man laughed.
"I need to coat the blade of the entire Taidao with a layer of silver... For you, I have spent a lot of money." He said mockingly in a sneering tone.
"If you drew a gun... you would have been wary of silver bullets. But the sword is different... You probably wouldn't have thought that someone would go to such lengths to eliminate you, would you?"
The boy said, advancing step by step.The blade in his hand was stained with blood, and under the reflection of the moonlight, a layer of silvery white light seemed to shine on the unblooded blade.
"Many years ago... in Sendai City, there was a man who sacrificed himself in order to eliminate monsters like you—"
For the time being, the young man seemed not in a hurry to deal with this opponent who had been controlled by him and could be killed at any time, but as if he wanted to express some emotions hidden in his heart; said.
"He said, 'We are just epiphyllums in this era. We are species that shouldn't appear in the world...Let this end', and kept swiping his knife at Raksha—"
The boy paused and smiled slightly.There was a bright light flickering in his eyes.
"For his enlightenment... for the sake of maintaining his final decision in life, I also... can't let monsters like you continue to run amok in the world?!"
