Chapter 556 [Chapter Guizhang Saito Line] 36
However, Liu Quan did not show any panic at all after being seen through or exposed the secret.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Master Xixiang." Her voice was even very calm, obviously she had quickly recovered from the mood swings caused by the wonderful coincidence of the voice line.
After all, no matter how beautiful the uncle Xixiang was set by that unknown game, it is impossible to really look like Tezuka Kunimitsu.As for the similarity in the voice line... Thanks to the wonderful seiyuu stalk between Mikazuki Zongjin and Xiaoyi, she has been trained to be very tough enough to deal with this kind of thing.
"Excuse me for being rude...but your guess sounds whimsical." She replied calmly, "If I don't explain it, I'm afraid it will harm my father who wholeheartedly follows you, so it's better to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible. good."
Saigo let out a condescending sneer that Tezuka Kunimitsu would never have made.
"Oh, what a stubborn woman." He said in a slightly contemptuous tone.
"It would be great if Jiujo Zhongshun had your intelligence and backbone." There was a hint of sneer in his tone.
"...that way he won't look so stupid and useless—but a stupid subordinate, of course, has his uses." He commented on Kujo Tadasun unceremoniously, as if he was casually talking about a street like stray dogs.
Then he glanced at Toshiki Kirino who stood aside and laughed twice.
"Li Qiu-jun has made a great sacrifice," he praised perfunctorily, and then changed the subject without warning.
"However, haven't you done the work that your adopted daughter entrusted you with?"
Kirino Toshiki seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.
"Master Xixiang means—investigating Miss Jiutiao?" He said with a satisfied look on his face, a little boastful, "That matter, what did Yuzi say capriciously" Father, if you have something important to do, you have to be busy Leave it to me to do it myself', using this excuse to let me assign two men to run errands for her... There should be some clues now. She said that she will report to me in two days-"
He frowned slightly, showing a slightly exaggerated look of doubt.
"It's strange enough to insist on investigating her fiancé's younger sister, but now you want to say something like 'some unexpected discovery, you must ask your father to take a look at it', Yu Zi is really messing around..."
Liu Quan:? !
Her complexion didn't change, but in an instant, there was a storm in her heart!
Although in this era when the household registration law has just been implemented, changing your name and surname and moving to a strange place can probably perfectly cover up your previous identity; however, this cannot stop people who are interested in continuing to investigate.Otherwise, how would those former members of the Shinsengumi who were scattered after the Boshin War get news of other comrades again after many years, and then start to communicate with each other and record each other's recent situation, so that some people can live a simple life after the war? What records have been handed down to this day?
Liu Quan said calmly: "It would be a pity if Miss Tongye still holds a high degree of hostility towards me."
Kirino Toshiaki chuckled.
"Actually, Yu Zi is really worrying too much - what are you afraid of?" He said abruptly, his eyes became extremely cold and sharp in an instant.
"We've been talking for a while since I hit you—but you still haven't been able to fully withdraw the power of the Rakshasa with your own will, have you? Just look at the color of your hair... This is a sign that your Rakshasa power is about to get out of control, you don't know this, right?" He pointed out sharply and to the point.
Liu Quan was silent for a moment, but did not answer him immediately.
Xixiang suddenly sighed.
"What a pity. I originally thought of taking you under my command... After all, there are not many Rakshas left under our command. But it looks like you are dying soon."
Saigo's voice, which was almost identical to Tezuka Kunimitsu's, sounded extraordinarily cold in the dark night.
Suddenly being exposed to such a cruel fact, the young woman in front of her still looked very calm.
Maybe Xixiang originally planned to take this opportunity to break her irritating composure in one fell swoop, and to explore the secret behind the fact that she became a Rakshasa as the adopted daughter of the old Chinese family—or, what did she do with the new one? What is the connection between the groups.
However, this young woman dressed in men's clothing never lost that incomprehensibly stubborn calm from beginning to end.
Her blood-red pupils looked directly at Xixiang's face, slowly raised her eyebrows, and answered with only one word.
She said, "Really?"
The next moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded on the deserted long street in the distance, from far to near, breaking the silence of the night!
Tongye Liqiu quickly turned around and strode to the entrance of the alley, took a look outside, then immediately walked back to Xixiang, and whispered a few words to him.
Saigo nodded slightly, and then cast a glance at the young woman standing at the bottom of the alley.
"It's a pity, but let's say goodbye tonight, Miss Kujo." He suddenly said in a polite tone.
"How should this case be closed so that no one will be implicated in it." He smiled meaningfully, "Not only you or us...but also other insiders, those who have come into contact with this One incident of people—"
Liu Quan:? !
What is he implying...? !
As for the purely involved parties, besides her, shouldn't they all be subordinates of Xixiang and Kirino's faction.However, those evil Rakshasa have been almost wiped out by her. Xixiang and Tongye are high-ranking figures, and they are not figures that she can easily shake. It doesn't matter if you say it should be, let alone control-then who else is related to this, and needs Xixiang to point it out?
She finally couldn't control the slight discoloration on her face.And Xixiang saw all this in his eyes.
He seemed to nod and smile with satisfaction.
"You are indeed the only smart person in the Jiutiao family, Miss Jiutiao." He actually praised her condescendingly.
"There is no harm in thinking about things." He said meaningfully.
"It seems that your gaze is not simply restricted by which side's position."
"Then, this tricky matter should be handed over to the only smart person in the Kutiao family?"
Before he finished speaking, he turned around together with Tongye Liqiu, and hurriedly turned from the entrance of the alley into the shadow of the nearby house, and under the cover of the shadow, the figure quickly disappeared.
Of course Liu Quan will not stay here for long.After all, he was delayed by Xixiang's last order just now, if he didn't leave, he would have to spend some effort to escape if he was caught up in the current situation.
She lowered her head and glanced at the blood-stained palm of her left hand, which was covering the wound just now, tried to move the right shoulder that was shot, then gritted her teeth, turned around and estimated the height of the eaves beside the road, and took a few steps back , intending to jump up——
A voice suddenly sounded not far from the alley.
"stop!"
Liu Quan's back suddenly froze.
A figure then flashed into this dead-end alley.
The visitor was very cautious, stopped at the entrance of the alley, quickly glanced at the situation in the alley, and seemed to have made his own judgment quickly.
He immediately pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist with a swish.
"Just stop there and don't move!" He yelled sharply, with a slight shake of his wrist, the sharp blade cut through the air, pointing at the back who was only a few steps away from him.At the feet of that figure, there were two corpses lying upside down.
He skillfully set up the Taidao, and approached step by step the back that was really motionless, as thin as a boy.
The boss specially won permission for him to use the Taidao to hunt down the criminals in the night serial killings.He can draw the knife anytime and anywhere, and arrest the criminal when he finds it.After a painstaking and in-depth investigation, he learned many shocking truths.
And those truths, he couldn't even mention to other colleagues, because those truths would only be explosively lethal to him—to his companions in the Shinsengumi; others would not understand this emotion.
Now, truths aside, the suspect in the nocturnal killing spree they were chasing was close at hand.There were two corpses lying beside his feet, and the blade of the Taidao held in his right hand was covered with blood, and it even slid drop by drop from the blade and fell to the ground along the tip of the blade, staining the alley red. land.
Moreover, the back of the suspect is a little different from others.
He has long snow-white hair that is too long. Although it is simply tied up behind his head, it seems that he has gone through a fierce battle, and a lot of broken hair is messily draped over his shoulders.
That kind of hair-colored person, Fujita Goro, who was holding a dagger and slowly approaching the suspect's back, had seen it before.
On the streets of Kyoto late at night.
Those guys wearing Shinsengumi's light onion haori, with red eyes, who have lost their minds, raised their heads and howled to attack innocent civilians one after another, just to satisfy their own bloodthirsty impulses——
He stopped two steps away from the man - this distance is safe enough, but when he launches an attack, he can also be silenced in an instant - gritted his teeth and ordered: "Don't think that you can escape, I still have confidence in my skills." Confident...Now, put down the sword in your hand and turn around!"
The back figure paused for a moment, without making any sound, but loosened his fingers, and dropped the blood-dripping Taidao that was tightly held in his right hand with a bang on the ground.
The other party cooperated so much, but Fujita Goro lowered his eyebrows and became more cautious.
"Are you——Raksha?!" He gritted his teeth and spit out that word, then ordered after a moment of pause: "Turn around!"
The man let out a short wry smile.
Then, he slowly turned around until he was fully facing Goro Fujita behind him.
Fujita Goro:! ?
The moment he saw the other person's face clearly, he was almost too shocked to speak.
In my impression, he was rarely shocked to this extent.But now, the facts presented to him were bright and bloody, as if they were going to shake all his calmness and will.
The man with snow-white long hair stood in front of him, staring at him quietly.The eyes staring at him were blood red.
"As you can see, I am indeed a Rakshasa." The man spoke slowly.
"...a gentleman."
The author has something to say:
February 5:
To explain, what Xixiang meant was that if the girl didn't deal with the aftermath well, he planned to silence everyone who knew about it.Of course, Xiaoyi who investigated this matter as an inspector is also considered an insider.
PS. Tomorrow will also be updated before 3 pm.
