Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

"This is called Bian Ruo Shui. It was originally a miraculous potion introduced from the West to our country. It was improved by Yukimura-kun's father Tsunadō-kun under the secret decree of the shogunate... It is a secret medicine that can cause drastic changes in people. The most primitive The effect is to enhance the self-healing power of the user. Once you drink it, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be cured immediately."

He said so in a strangely self-deprecating tone.

"But the drug has a fatal flaw. Too strong a drug will make people lose their true nature. What will happen to the person who is fed the drug... You haven't seen it yet, have you?"

Shannan smiled slightly.

"If you take the medicine, you may lose your rationality and become a bloodthirsty monster." He said in a relaxed tone.

"If you go crazy when you see blood on the battlefield, there is no point in getting a strong body. So Tsunadou-kun improved this 'medicine' in the experimental field called 'Shinsengumi'." He said with a face There was a strange twisted smile on his face.

"But it's a pity that because his whereabouts are unknown, the research on 'medicine' was interrupted.... According to the information he left, the revised one is 'this'."

He gently shook the vial in his hand.The thick blood-like red liquid swayed in the bottle, making Liu Quan dizzy for a while.

"The original solution was diluted as much as possible, and some other improvements were made." He looked a little proud, and looked at the bottle gently, as if he was looking at his favorite work.

"No...don't use all your wisdom on this, Mr. Shannan!" Liu Quan, who had been feeling his throat tightened since he started to narrate, and could hardly speak, finally squeezed out a sentence.

"This kind of thing is unreliable!"

The smile on Shannan's face disappeared.

"If the concoction of this 'drug' is successful, take it and I will get better." He said expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard the two words Liu Quan just shouted at all.

"If I don't rely on this kind of thing, my wrist won't heal!" In the next second, his face sank, and he shouted loudly in an unprecedented voice.

"I'm no longer a useless person. Even the soldiers in the flat team are talking bad about me in secret." After a brief outburst, Shannan's tone fell silent again, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"How can there be such a thing!" Liu Quan also raised his voice and yelled back without giving in.

"Everyone respects Mr. Shannan... And what kind of cadre has never experienced bad things! There must be many more people who say bad things about the deputy chief behind his back!"

Without hesitation, he sold the deputy chief for a second, and Liu Quan slowed down his voice a little.

"I'm also a member of the Ping Brigade, so I understand everyone's feelings... No one will feel better if they are severely reprimanded by their superiors, right? Therefore, complaining that the superior is too strict is not right, but it is also understandable." ... but I won't hate my boss because of this after that. The people who have been gently encouraging and trusting us all this time, aren't they all Mr. Shannan?!"

After hearing Liu Quan's words, Shannan's expression didn't get any better.

"If I, a swordsman, is dead, and only a corpse-like body remains—then I, a human, should also die." Shannan ignored Liu Quan's efforts to dissuade him, with a sneer on his face.

"It's...it's not like this at all!!" Liu Quan was about to go crazy.Why does he want to go his own way? !Can you tolerate turning yourself into a bloodthirsty monster just to swing a knife? !

"If you drink that kind of thing, the world you will live in will not be the same as everyone else... If you want to rely on Mr. Shannan's wisdom, you have to wait until night to discuss together... Could it be that in Mr. Shannan's mind, Is force ten times more important than wisdom? Then all the military advisers from ancient times to the present should all go to seppuku..."

Shannan stared at her in surprise, and when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly smiled.

"Mr. Qingyuan, you are still a girl after all." He shook his head and said.

"When encountering such a cruel thing, I can't help but look at the problem from the perspective of a woman—really, should I say this is your strength or weakness?" He said helplessly.

"What the Shinsengumi needs is Shannan Keisuke, who can draw swords and is wise. If any point is missing, it will be incomplete... Do you want me to hide behind everyone every time they charge into battle, Do you even need a girl like you to keep me safe?!"

His gentle tone gradually disappeared, and his voice gradually became louder, appearing to be shrill.

"I'd rather become a Rakshasa than just hide under the protection of everyone! Whenever, when I might become a burden to the Shinsengumi, I will never tolerate myself in such a way." stay alive……!"

"...It's not like this!" Liu Quan shouted loudly, his heart constricted and he felt extremely distressed.

"Mr. Yamanan will never be the burden of the Shinsengumi! Rather, Mr. Yamanan is the brain of the Shinsengumi...!"

"...Brain?!" Shannan repeated the word with a little bit of surprise, then cast his gaze on Liu Quan's face, smiled gently and kindly, and shook his head with a trace of pity.

"No, now that Ito is here, it's enough for him to be an adviser. For things like brains, a person can only have one pair, right? Too much is also a kind of trouble—"

...Ito? !Kokotaro Ito? !

Why did Shannan mention him?Even if Kondo now shows that he values ​​Ito very much, Shannan's widely respected status in the team will not be shaken-even if he can no longer wield a sword.

So, did Ito say something nasty to Shannan? !

After all, for Ito, his feelings should be similar to those of Shannan—the Shinsengumi is like a person, and only needs a brain.If there is Shannan, Ito will not be able to control the direction of the Shinsengumi, let alone hold the Shinsengumi in his hands to serve his own goals-so, Ito wants to stimulate Shannan to force Shannan to retire automatically, or ... What more radical thing to do? !

...According to the in-game rules of the Shinsengumi, leaving the team without authorization is a must.And Shannan has indeed done the same thing in history.This matter is too famous, of course Liu Quan knew about it—and, she also knew that when he was forced to make a seppuku, he still respected his Okita as the intermediary.

... What a trick to kill with a knife, a high-sounding poisonous trick!

Liu Quan gritted his teeth, trembling with anger, couldn't help blurting out: "That bastard Yito...!"

Liu Quan is not the kind of little flower in the greenhouse like Qianhe, who is polite and gentle, a good girl who can't say any foul words.Now the two syllables of Baga blurted out, but she didn't think it was too much.

Instead, Shannan opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then smiled slightly.

"...Why are you persuading me so desperately? Please leave me alone." His tone became gentle again, and there was a hint of confusion in his smile.

"If I succeed, my wrist will heal. It's not a bad bet." His smile seemed to be a little more real, as if he firmly believed that his will can overcome the madness brought about by turning into water.

"You did your best when you were in Osaka, please don't think that you still bear unshirkable responsibility for the things at that time." His tone was soft, but the meaning revealed in the words was very cold.

"If I don't take this 'drug', I will only be buried in the world... I can't allow myself to live in such a humiliating way."

Suddenly, Shannan cast his sharp eyes on Liu Quan's face.

"I will never forget the fight at Gofuya in Osaka."

"Especially when I later found out that you are actually a woman, the hatred burning in my heart became even more serious."

"I injured my left wrist, so I had to hide behind a woman fearing death, relying on her desperate protection to escape to the second floor to escape, and watched her risk her life to fight those ronin - this is the last thing I can do something to tolerate."

"...That's because your knife was broken! It's not because you were injured!" Liu Quan shouted unbearably.

The scene of Shannan's seppuku in the Dahe drama was originally thought to have been forgotten in memory, but now it suddenly popped up without warning, like an old movie played from an old squeaky projector, Repeatedly replayed in her mind.

In order to prevent that scene from happening again, stop him no matter what!

"I... I only had one thought at the time, that the Shinsengumi couldn't lose such a good chief as Mr. Shannan... I think so now! So...so I must not back down!"

"Please don't say willful words." Shannan seemed a little surprised for a moment, but he quickly lowered his gaze and said with a sigh, "Your interference is really disturbing. Please obey the orders of the chief executive of the Shinsengumi, Stand back now."

Liu Quan hesitated for a moment.

She is still a team member of the Shinsengumi, so it stands to reason that she cannot question and refuse to obey the orders of Shannan who is the leader of the Shinsengumi.

But if he retreats like this now, when he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will find that Shannan has become a Rakshasa—even if his left hand can be restored by doing so, it will definitely be a situation that no one wants to see!

"If Mr. Shannan must drink it..." Liu Quan gritted his teeth, staring at the smiling Shannan angrily and excitedly, he couldn't think of any other reason to persuade him.

"Yeah." Shannan nodded briskly, his tone still so gentle. "...So, what are you going to do?"

"I..." Liu Quan said loudly, heartbroken, "I will definitely do my best to stop you!"

Shannan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then the gentle smile that shrouded his face like an iron mask resurfaced, isolating his true expression.

"How to stop it?" He asked back with a funny face, suddenly walked in front of Liu Quan slowly, bent slightly and approached her face, as if he wanted to clearly see the expression on her face at this moment under the dim candlelight at night .

"Draw your sword at me? Just like other people treat those soldiers who have turned into out-of-control Rakshasa?" He smiled calmly, with a gentle and gentle tone, as if the words coming out of his mouth were not so cruel. It's just plain friendly chatter.

"Besides, you seem to have forgotten something important, right?" He noticed that although Liu Quan was shocked, he was not intimidated by his cruel words, as if he was seriously considering the possibility of jumping up to snatch the Bianruoshui from him. As if; so his tone suddenly changed, becoming calm and indifferent.

"Sinsengumi's rules in the game, you won't forget it?! Private fighters must cut seppuku—" He smiled and shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face, as if looking at a naughty and willful child .

"...You don't want to die with me, a cripple, do you, Qingyuan-jun?" The smile on his face froze, he straightened up slowly, and moved away from her.

"It's not worth it to do that." He walked away slowly for a certain distance, turned his head and said to Liuquan with a smile.

It was an unbelievably refreshing smile as if all the troubles had been solved.

Then in the next second, he quickly pulled off the cap of the bottle containing Changruo Shui, raised his head and poured all the blood-red liquid in the bottle into his mouth——

"...No!!" Liu Quan screamed, wanting to rush over to snatch the bottle, but it was too late.

The small bottle rolled down from Shannan's stopped right hand.

There was a bright red mark around his mouth.When the sound of glass shattering sounded, Shannan fell to his knees on the spot.

In order to stop Liu Quan who seemed about to rush up, he quickly raised his right hand to signal her to stop immediately, while his left hand tightened his chest and groaned in pain.

"...Mr. Shannan!!" Liu Quan exclaimed, wanting to go up to check on Shannan's current situation immediately, but also frightened by Bian Ruo Shui's maddening power, he couldn't make up his mind whether to go out immediately and shout Other cadres from the Xinxuan Group at the station came to help.

... If Ito Kokotaro or his henchmen are alarmed, this matter will become even worse and out of control!But what should we do now?She doesn't know what kind of changes will happen to the person who drinks the water, and even if Shannan turns into that kind of crazy monster, how to treat him is not something she can decide-so, at least go to the reliable The deputy chief or Xiaoyi called me over, okay? !

But the moment her footsteps just moved a step——

Shannan also moved.

He moved in front of Liu Quan almost instantaneously with incredible speed, his right wrist swept across Liu Quan's abdomen with terrifying force, and immediately knocked Liu Quan who was caught off guard into the air.

With a bang, Liu Quan felt like a kite with a broken string, his feet temporarily left the ground, and his back soon hit the wall hard.At that moment, it seemed that even the air in his lungs was squeezed out immediately, and his eyes went black for a while.Then her body fell to the ground again, staring at her eyes, as if she was suffocated for a moment, the pain was so painful that she couldn't even speak.

... In the next second, a hand quickly reached out and strangled her throat.

In the darkness illuminated only by an oil lamp, it can still be seen that Shannan's hair has turned snow-white, but his eyes have turned blood red.
