Chapter 776 [Chapter 4] 197
Using the quickness and lightness brought by [Advanced Lightness Kung Fu] to the extreme, Liu Quan sprinted across the wilderness of Hakodate.
Along the way, I had to pass through the choking smell of gunfire and the fierce battle area where people screamed from time to time not far away.There was always a faint smell of blood in the air.However, Liu Quan ignored all of this, as if he was detached from the outside world, all senses were closed, and all his mind had only one goal, that is——
Arrive at Goryokaku before noon.
Make an appointment with the other fusangshen to meet at Goryokaku at noon, and they will not be late.And she has a reason to hide them from them, enter Goryokaku first, and stay there for a while.All this must be done before noon, because—
Even if you don't consider what kind of thoughts Kane-sang will have when he discovers that she sneaked into Goryokaku first to meet the deputy chief, you have to consider whether other people will have doubts about her because of her behavior—for example, She has gone against history once in order to protect the life of the deputy chief from disappearing in Hakodate; this time, as a god judge, will she fall openly?
This is not an unexplainable problem.But she didn't have time to explain it.
While thinking this way, Liu Quan quickly ran across the wilderness.
This section of the journey has passed through a flat road, so it is still easy to walk.And if you run on this kind of road, your speed will be faster, which is better than jumping up and down among the rugged rocks.
However, running fast on this road is equivalent to being on guard against enemy soldiers that appear suddenly.After all, in order to capture Hakodate as soon as possible, the enemy was very urgent, and chose many attack directions that would not be chosen under common sense, and had no idea where they would emerge from——
Suddenly, suddenly, a cold light flashed!
Although Liu Quan was running, her reaction was not slow; she dodged to the left in time, took a big step, and narrowly avoided the silver metal light that suddenly flashed from behind the big tree on the right.
The cold blade lay across the path for a moment.Liu Quan stood one step away from the blade on the left, while panting violently from the gallop just now, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the blade——
Sanri Yuezong held down the empty scabbard at his waist with his left hand, and still held the unsheathed body knife steadily with his right hand, pointing the blade in the air to his God-inspector, and slowly turned out from behind the tree.
Then, he stopped in front of the female examiner, paused for a moment, retracted the body knife into the sheath with a backhand, and lightly tapped the blade of the famous knife with his left thumb at the moment when the blade of the famous knife slid into the sheath. On the sword, it did not move away.
"What are you in a hurry to do, Mr. Xueye?"
Completely abandoning the usual hahaha gentle and smiling posture, the handsome face of one of the five swords in the world seemed to be slightly tense.
"Looking at your urgent look, it must be...something serious?"
Liu Quan: "..."
Originally, her whole body was tense and her back was straight; but when she saw clearly the blue hunting coat, for some reason, her stomach ached violently.
The pain came quickly and without warning, and she had to pant while slightly bending down and pressing her stomach tightly with her hands, then raised her eyes to look at him.
However, seeing her standing there with such a painful expression, he didn't seem to be moved, let alone shocked. He just pressed the body knife at his waist calmly, and stood quietly a few steps away from her. In the distant place, the famous pair of eyes with the crescent moon drooped down, looking at her calmly.
The two looked at each other quietly for a while, and then Liu Quan spoke first.
"I...I'm going to Goryokaku." She said as if avoiding the seriousness.
Mikazuki Zongjin slightly raised his eyebrows, but there seemed to be no smile in the depths of his pupils.
"Ah, what a coincidence, I'm going to Goryokaku too. Then let's go together."
Even though he said so, he didn't see any intention of coming up to help the female judge, but just stood there.
"You don't need to be so anxious. It's unnecessary to damage your health just to run... It's still some time before noon, so let's walk slowly." He said.
Although his expression was gentle, Liu Quan always had a feeling, as if he had already seen through her true intentions.She smiled wryly and lowered her eyes.
"No." She replied unexpectedly frankly, "I accepted the request of the Shinsengumi who are still fighting in Bentendaiba, and I have to go to Goryokaku to meet Mr. Hijikata, and bring the Shinsengumi's request for help to .”
After she finished speaking, although Mikazuki Zongjin didn't speak immediately, the atmosphere became tense at that moment without a doubt.
It seemed to be silent for a long time, or maybe it was only for a moment, before Sanri Yuezong spoke.
He didn't laugh before saying anything like Liu Quan guessed.Instead, he just spoke in a very strange, flat tone without any ups and downs.
"that's it?"
Liu Quan: "...Huh?!"
She unconsciously issued a questioning modal particle.
Sanri Yue Zongjin didn't pay attention to her doubts, but continued to ask:
"What about after that? Is that the end?"
Liu Quan: "..."
Ah, after all, I still don't believe that when she faced Hijikata Toshizo, she could really uphold the morality of a god judge, turn a blind eye to the cruel fate of the dying person, and do nothing to save him.
Liu Quan was silent for a moment, then replied: "...I admit, I really want to see him again."
Sanri Yuezong let out a near cry.
Liu Quan continued: "...But, if you haven't forgotten, when I was in Utsunomiya, I shot him in the leg, preventing the fact that he was about to turn the tide and win."
Sanri Yuezong didn't speak a word.
Liu Quan laughed softly.
"Perhaps you want to say that it didn't matter in Utsunomiya, because I knew he would recover from this injury and continue to live...but not in Hakodate today."
She let go of the hand that was holding her still twitching stomach, slowly straightened up, and looked directly at Fu Sangshen, who was calm in front of her.
"He will die today... This is a fact that no one can change."
As soon as she finished speaking, the corners of Sanri Yuezong's lips curled up slightly.Then, he shook his head slowly.
"Hahaha, that's not the case." He regained that leisurely tone, but now it sounds like there is always a hint of sarcasm for some reason.
"Didn't Mr. Xueye stop it once... It's really a good job." He said.
"So it's not impossible to do it again today—"
Liu Quan interrupted him decisively.
"At that time, I wanted to reverse history, and I had my reasons. Now, I want to preserve history, and I have my reasons."
"Maybe it's a little arbitrary to say that... But I really don't want to save him."
She laughed, and for some reason, that smile looked weak and pale.
"I just want to see him again before he dies...isn't that okay?"
"Maybe when I saw him, he didn't remember me at all..."
Speaking of this, an unknown emotion surged up, causing her to choke suddenly.
"...It's really cruel." Sanri Yuezong commented leisurely, narrowing his pupils slightly as if in pity, and staring at her.
"Are you going to see him even then?"
Liu Quan was silent for a second, then nodded vigorously.
"I must go."
Mikazuki Zongjin's expression changed in that instant.
However, she turned a blind eye and continued to speak.
"Even if he doesn't remember me, the kindness and kindness he once gave me will never disappear..."
"For that, I'm going to say goodbye to him."
"Even if I can't say it, I still want to stand in front of him and be grateful from the bottom of my heart that meeting him made me a better person—"
Sanri Yuezong's expression moved slightly.
However, Liu Quan did not stop here.
"...All these thoughts apply to you too, Mikazuki."
She cast her eyes on him and saw real surprise in his face.
"...what?" he blurted out.
Liu Quan smiled slightly.
"The kindness and favor you once gave me will never disappear."
"I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for meeting you....That's it, Mikazuki."
Mikazuki Zongjin:! ! !
Finally, something called surprise and... shaken expression appeared on his face.
It seemed that she had never thought that she would be able to express her gratitude to him clearly in the face of such a huge temptation of "going to see Hijikata" - and both of them knew in their hearts that if she really insisted on desperately trying to save If Earth Fang did not hesitate to fight him, she would have a great chance of winning; however, she did not do so—this shows that this time she chose him in the end, right?
Sanri Yuezong pondered for a moment, then slowly turned sideways—to get out of the way in front of the female examiner.
"So, I'll go with you." His gentle voice remained unchanged, but there was a trace of inexplicable in his attitude.
"No matter what you want to do this time..." There seemed to be a trace of sigh in his voice, and it seemed to be gentle and stubborn.
"I will stand in front of you and watch carefully."
Liu Quan stared at him closely, then smiled and sighed.
"Do you still don't trust me... Well, it's only natural." She said as if talking to herself.
Sanri Yuezong didn't answer her.
It seemed that she was no longer obsessed with whether he could gain his trust, but simply walked past him neatly and headed straight for the road in front of her.
...I don't care how much lower the mobility value of the Five Swords of the World is than my own.Anyway, they all know that her goal and end point is Goryokaku.
There could be no other place.
After arriving at Goryokaku, as expected, Liu Quan was severely interrogated.
For some reason, the so-called big shots here seem to have formed some kind of terrible tacit understanding. When Liu Quan heard that the Shinsengumi of Benten Odaiba had come out to ask for help, his attitude was particularly subtle.
At the beginning, it was just delaying the time to come out to report, but finally came out personally, led Liu Quan and Sanri Yue Zongjin into the gate, and then walked slowly in front; it was called a guide, but it seemed completely It seemed to be suppressing the pace of Liu Quan and San Ri Yue Zong to delay the time.
Liu Quan noticed something was wrong, so he deliberately pretended to be a green young man who had never seen the world, while showing a worried look eager to see the deputy chief, and stupidly couldn't help but look around.
When the person who led the way noticed her abnormal state, she said in a tone of heavy self-blame: "I, this is my first time here! Usually... to report the battle situation A person like me would never be someone like me...Where is Mr. Hijikata in such a big fortress... How long will it take to see him..."
Such a stupid statement made the person who led the way couldn't help showing a smile on his face, as if he was laughing at her rarity, the person replied perfunctorily: "Ah, it will be there soon... Look, you probably don’t know where Mr. Hijikata is, well, you don’t understand either... After entering the house in front of you, you have to turn three more turns and go up a flight of stairs—”
Before he could finish his sentence, he found that the expression of the boy in front of him with a silly smile suddenly became vivid;
"The room that turns three corners and has to go up the stairs... Well, I know!" She said with a smile, "So Mr. Hijikata is not in the meeting room or visiting the executive office of Enomoto-kun or Otori-kun? It's much simpler—after all, if I want to talk to him, it's more inconvenient to have someone else present~"
The person who led the way: "What, what—?!"
Before he had time to ask, "Why do you know so much about the topography inside Goryokaku, and even understand the point where you can judge the specific location just by listening to the simple route", he suddenly felt a blur in front of him!
With a swish, it turned out that the beautiful young man in the classic blue hunting clothes pulled out the body knife from his waist, then flipped his wrist neatly, and placed the blade horizontally in front of the guide.
"Hahaha." He laughed.
This laughter seemed a little too relaxed and inappropriate in the tense atmosphere in Goryokaku at the moment. The guide stared at him in surprise, then slowly turned his eyes to look at the sharp blade below.
"You... you—!!" he exclaimed.
The hand of the handsome man in the blue hunting coat didn't move at all, he just tilted his head slightly, moved his chin forward slightly, and motioned: "As long as you cooperate, nothing will happen to you. … …Don't delay, let this person pass. Then nothing will happen?"
The guide's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
"Say, why delay—!" He stammered and shouted in a low voice, and suddenly realized that the beautiful man in front of him was holding a sharp famous knife, as if planning to cut his throat, and immediately closed it tightly again. Don't dare to vent your anger.
The handsome man smiled again.
"Ahahaha, very good, very good~"
He spoke in a leisurely tone, and his eyes did not leave the guide in front of him.
"The next road, you know how to go, Qingyuan-kun?"
Hearing this sentence that seemed to be a pun, the young man behind him seemed to be slightly shocked.
However, the boy didn't waste a moment of time, and the corner of his lips soon raised a smile that was similar to gratification and complacency.
"Ah! Don't worry!" He replied loudly in a clear voice, then passed by the guide, and ran towards the house in front of him without hesitation—
The guide, who didn't dare to move and didn't dare to breathe, thought nervously that there was also a gatekeeper in that house.Although they are still a little far away from the house now, the gatekeeper can't notice the change here; but if the boy rushed over so recklessly without anyone leading the way, he would probably be stopped under today's situation— —
However, he didn't dare to look back, so he didn't see that the boy didn't go straight to the gate, but turned around and got into the bushes near the house, and then, under the cover of tall plants, bypassed the main gate, Run to the back of the house.
But all this was seen by the handsome man in the blue safari, facing the house—and the passerby—standing.
The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.
"Don't let me down, Mr. Qingyuan." He said in a very low voice.
