Chapter 690 [Chapter 4] 113
Everything seemed to be in slow motion, and the next moment he felt the pain between his waist and ribs.
He lowered his head slowly, only then did he see that the knife of the guy who had betrayed him in front of him was lying there, as if it was firmly attached between his flesh and bones. The warm liquid that slowly leaked out had already torn a crack in his clothes, and the liquid gushed out from there, staining his black coat with a small wet mark that was very inconspicuous in an instant.
Some kind of recognition suddenly emerged in consciousness belatedly.
I... got stabbed? !
Actually... are you going to die...?
No... no... just now... I just got into a relationship with Satsuma, and I plan to use this as an opportunity to... flex my muscles...
Satsuma said... Isamu Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata... They are all enemies they want to get rid of quickly...
Satsuma said, since...the Shinsengumi is now the most suspicious mastermind of the assassination of Sakamoto Ryoma, then... let Kondo and Hijikata die in the same way...so that they will believe that they were originally the staff of the Shinsengumi The sincerity of abandoning darkness and turning to light——
Ito Kokotaro squirmed his lips, trying to say something.
Maybe it was because he wanted to scold the traitor who destroyed his great plan, or he wanted to ask the handsome young man who rushed out to hold his knife in time, because the face of that young man was very strange to him, but that young man But wearing the light green haori of the Shinsengumi...
Also, maybe he wants to press this guy who has always claimed his surname is "Qingyuan", who is good at swordsmanship, has a bright smile, and always seems to have nothing on his mind, but has always concealed the important secret that he is a woman. The guy who lied to everyone up and down——
There was a gurgling sound in his throat, and blood bubbled up.
"You, you also... deceived Kondo... and Hijikata." He managed to squeeze out these intermittent syllables from his throat that was about to be clogged with blood foam.
"Haha...they...don't know...you are—"
Before he finished speaking, he felt the woman in front of him's eyebrows and eyes suddenly lowered dangerously.
"Farewell!" She no longer concealed her feminine and clear voice, and shouted sharply.
At the same time, the knife in her hand went forward and sent it with all her strength.
Kokotaro Ito felt a chill passing between his waist and ribs, as if the icy night wind poured into his body along the wound cut by the woman's blade, and in an instant, all his warm body temperature as a human being was completely absorbed. Looted away, leaving only a cold body.
The woman drew back the Taidao in her hand abruptly, and the blade cut across the darkness, bringing up a stream of blood beads, which sprinkled on the empty street of Youxiaolutong.
Losing the support of the opponent's blade between his ribs, Kokotaro Ito's body crashed to the ground.
The female judge took a step back and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, with a slight flick of her wrist, she shook off the blood on the blade with a swish, and put the Taidao back into the sheath around her waist.
After that, she turned to Fu Sangshen who was standing beside her with a stinky face.
"It's good to have saved my head from Ito in time, Kane-san," she said with a big smile.
It's a pity that Fu Sangshen doesn't seem to understand her sense of humor at all.
He took a deep breath, as if he couldn't stand her inappropriate jokes, and suddenly yelled at her face.
"Let me tell you! If you can't fight, call me to help! What's the matter with that kind of bravado? Because I'm worried that I won't be able to deal with people like Ito, so I just want to kill him alone! Is it right? Do you think I'm so unreliable!..."
He saw that the smile that was attached to her face like an iron mask, as if it had hidden her true expression, slowly melted a little, revealing a look of real surprise.Before he could be proud, he saw a strange gleam in her eyes, and that smile firmly returned to her face.
Then, she said softly, "Shhh, don't yell so loudly. … I guess those new recruits who were slowed down for some strange reason, are here at last."
Izumi Mori Kanesada was taken aback for a moment, and when he listened carefully, he realized that there was indeed a chaotic running sound coming towards him from a distance.
The female examiner made a prompt decision.
"Jian-sang, you temporarily hide in the corner over there." She said.
"According to Ito Kokotaro's words just now, it can be concluded that there are people who look similar to me in the Shinsengumi here. But we don't have any information to show whether there will be people who look like you in the Shinsengumi, so you should hide for now. Get up, so as not to cause complications... I will handle the negotiation."
Izumi Mori Kanesada clicked his tongue irritably, knowing that now is not the time to argue, and what the female interrogator said is indeed very reasonable; so he simply nodded, turned around and flashed into the shadow behind the corner where he just hid inside.
The female judge let out a long breath, collected her mind, and quickly tied her hair that had just fallen out in the fierce battle into a ponytail at the back of her head—just like that, she regained her previous delicate appearance. Looks like an androgynous teenager.
At this moment, a series of chaotic footsteps sounded from behind her, accompanied by a shout: "Yes, who is it?!"
Liu Quan deliberately paused before turning his head. When he saw the three or four youths who looked like ordinary soldiers and wore light green feathers behind him, he slowly lowered his eyebrows and deliberately released the kind of expression that she learned from the deputy chief. It's a bit of an imposing manner.
She didn't answer that question, but lowered her face and shouted angrily: "You guys, you came too slowly!!"
Those three or four people were taken aback.The leading young man with a thin face and cold eyes shook his right hand holding the knife, as if he was about to raise his hand and slash at the fierce opponent in front of him.
Fortunately, his companion spoke up before that.
"Qing, Qingyuan?!" The young man shouted in surprise, and took a step back in an instant, arched his knees, and put his hands on the handle of the knife at his waist, as if he was ready to fight at any time.
"You, haven't you already left the team and went to the Royal Tomb Guard!"
Liu Quan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips slightly.
Ah, one of the wonderful uses of NPCs is that they often explain the current situation in their lines, which is really great.
Liu Quan raised his chin calmly and motioned the young men in light green haori to look at the body of Kokotaro Ito lying on the ground.
"Idiot! Can't figure it out after seeing this?!" She became even more arrogant, and shouted at the young men who looked like ordinary soldiers.
"Ito is going to be bad for the director, and I have killed him here! He is not someone who can wait for you to come slowly, and then catch him without a fight! Therefore, although the order I received was to 'monitor Ito's movements ’, I had no choice but to do it myself—”
The player used the NPC's skill [lines that automatically explain the cause and effect] skill.
The effect is obvious.
Those people looked at each other half-believingly, and then slowly walked over to inspect Yidong's body carefully.
With the help of the weak light, they finally figured it out clearly—the body was indeed Kokotaro Ito's, and the fatal wound was also correct. Therefore, there is no need for Qingyuan to deceive them on this matter.
However, a bad guy who followed Ito, the traitor, and split the Shinsengumi early on, could he prove himself so easily through an assassination?
The few people looked at each other, feeling that no matter whether they should go back to repay their merits, or whether they should believe that Kiyohara has always been interested in the Shinsengumi, they seemed to have never made such an important decision.
They whispered for a while.
"Yes, should I go back to the village immediately and report to the deputy chief..."
"Shun, by the way, ask the deputy chief to verify whether Qing Yuan is a good person or not!"
"Is Ito's body just thrown here?"
"Ito is dead, so... how should the remaining traitors be punished?"
"Wait... wait a minute! I, I ran out without authorization. If the deputy chief finds out, will he get angry and punish us?"
Liu Quan: "..."
Ah, you NPCs are too casual.Although she seems to have a little impression of these details, is it really good to just tell them like beans in a bamboo tube?Don't those gruff fellows think that's whispering?She, the so-called "traitor", can hear it clearly even standing here! Hey!
Seeing that this group of people have been talking "whispering" for a few minutes here, but they still can't decide what to do next-after all, they may just be because they heard that Kokotaro Ito is going to assassinate Kondo-san, so they just rely on He ran out with bravery and passion to deal with this despicable person first. As for what happened after he killed someone?They never have to think about it.Coordination with all aspects?Should I be held responsible for killing someone who should not be killed? Will I be reprimanded? ...In short, those are the things that the deputy chief has to worry about and deal with, not other people's.
Liu Quan sighed secretly, so he had to forcefully add some drama to himself, the "suspicious traitor".
"Did you not report to the deputy chief when you came out?" She asked with exaggerated surprise.
Those people: "..."
They all showed a guilty look, and their eyes began to drift left and right without a fixed point.
...It's really easy to understand.
