Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

The one who drew the sword was not Liu Quan who planned to act as low-key and cautious as possible.

"Hey, it's not a good idea to have a tryst in such a boring place..." Harada's voice came from the darkness, with a hint of humor.

"And, are you going to attack the only two girls in the Shinsengumi? Tsk tsk tsk..." He shook his head, as if what Kazama was planning to do was a rebellious and heinous thing.

Kazama's movements suddenly concentrated, and his voice became icy cold.

"...It's you again. Do country dogs only have eyes?"

Another voice rang out.

"...that's our line."

Saito's voice was as calm as ever.But at that moment, Harada and Saito, who each pulled out their weapons, were already standing in front of Qianzuru and Liuquan.Kazama had to take a few steps back.

Qianhe didn't seem to show a relieved expression until this moment, her previously tense nerves seemed to suddenly relax, and she leaned back, as if she was about to fall.

Liu Quan turned around in astonishment.But before she grabbed Qianzuru, a man's hand had grabbed Qianzuru's shoulder in time, stopped her fall, and then pushed Qianzuu back roughly.

"...you back off."

It is earthwork.

He had drawn his knife and stepped forward.

"Hmph... I thought they were here to assassinate the general. What do you guys want to do to this kind of brat?"

Kazama's tone was indifferent, with a hint of disgust.

"Whether it's the general or you, it doesn't matter to me. This is our 'ghost' problem."

Earth made a questioning voice.

"'ghost'?!"

Kazama sneered.

"...Ah, the woman who dared to provoke my young master in the small town at the foot of Tianwang Mountain also heard what I just said. Why don't you ask her what she thinks?"

In an instant, Hijikata's gaze was sharply directed towards Liu Quan, who was blocked by Harada and Saito.

Liu Quan also drew his sword in his hand, and still loyally blocked Qianhe who was pulled behind everyone by the earthwork.When Hijikata's eyes met hers in mid-air, she gave Hijikata a wry smile.

That expression was clearly saying, "This is a long story, deputy chief."Earthwork frowned slightly.

He turned back again, facing Kazama, narrowing his eyes, his eyes were extremely sharp.

"Qingyuan, you and Qianhe step back first." He ordered like this without looking back.

Indeed, in addition to Kazama, the opponent also has Kazama's long-term loyal follower Amagari Kyuju, and Shiranui Yasushi who was born in the Changzhou Domain and uses pistols/guns as weapons.Now the men on the field formed three groups of one-on-one situations, Hijikata faced Kazama, Saito faced Amagari, and Harada faced Shiranui.

Although Liu Quan is considered to be an effective combat power, she also knows very well that if she really fights, she will not be able to take the victory from any one of the three in front of her one-on-one—unless she uses Her bottom-of-the-box superpowers.But in that case, I will definitely be exposed, not only the ghosts of Kazama and the others, but even Hijikata and Saito, they will probably treat her as a monster to guard against, right?

Moreover, ghosts should have the pride of ghosts.They probably wouldn't be able to do such a thing as beating a woman.

Hijikata's order came just right, even Kazama seemed to have no room to refute for a while.Even if he wanted to snatch Qianhe away, the one standing in front of Qianhe was a woman—if only Hijikata was in the way of his intention, he could still fight Hijikata; The woman made a move, and he couldn't help but show an angry expression for a moment.

...This is definitely a way to successfully haunt him.It seems that although he is powerful, disdainful, and unresistable, he seems to be at most just a way to swear at women, compared to the last time he fought with Tuka in the small town at the foot of Tianwang Mountain. The sky is dark and there is still a grand occasion, but it is far from it.

Liu Quan showed an unclear smile at Kazama in front of Tukata, then held the sword in his right hand and stretched out his left hand to grab Qianzuru's hand.

"let's go."

She said bluntly, pulled Qianhe up, and slowly retreated into the shadow of the city wall.

Yamazaki suddenly appeared there without a sound.

He said that he was ordered by the local party to send Qianhe back to the village immediately.

Chizuru was still hesitating.

"Please leave now." Liu Quan persuaded in a calm tone without any emotion/color.

"Staying here will only distract the deputy chief and the others. I will stay here and watch, and if there is any change, I will not sit idly by."

Qianhe hesitated: "But..."

Liu Quan glanced lightly at her uneasy face.

"I will help you figure out their purpose and the meaning of those words. This is a matter of great importance, and I believe the deputy chief will not let it go easily."

Sure enough, this guarantee hit Qianhe's hidden worries.

She glanced at Liu Quan full of apprehension and pleading, then turned around without saying a word, and followed Yamazaki, disappearing into the dark night.

Liu Quan watched them leave, and then slowly walked out from the shadows, and stood behind Tufang again, still holding his sword horizontally in his right hand, staring at Feng who was confronting Tufang on the opposite side without saying a word. between.

The earth side suddenly became angry.

"Idiot! Didn't I tell you to back down! You can see clearly that the opponent is not an opponent you can contend with! After practicing swords for so long, don't you even know the ability to judge opponents?!"

Like the other members of the Shinsengumi, Liu Quan has long been used to being yelled at by the deputy commander of the ghost.

"Same as that day, I'm just standing here." She replied calmly, but she didn't intend to withdraw the long sword.

Hijikata seemed to be so angry that his subordinates disobeyed him.Angrily, he turned his head back to face Kazama again, ignoring the chilling gaze Kazama cast on him.

"Country folk who call themselves warriors...you just like to come to hinder us." Kazama said with a sneer.

Earth responded calmly.

"That should be our line. ...Speaking of which, you still owe the debt of hacking and killing the team members during the change of the forbidden gate..."

The atmosphere changed, and it seemed to be suffocating, and the air was full of murderous intent.

When he was only two steps away from the earthwork, Kazama laughed.

"Hmph... Those lies that want to kill me should go to the grave of the deceased and report."

The corners of Hijikata's lips also raised slightly upwards, forming a sneering sneer.

"Say something stupid. Say that yourself. . . . because I'm going to send you to their world right now."

Kazama took another step——

The crisp sound of metal colliding sounded instantly in the dark night.

The knives of the two drew silver trails in the darkness at the same time.

There was a buzzing sound from the sharp blade, and the shock wave even reached Liu Quan who was on the side.She felt a slight chill on her face, and her fine hairs stood on end in an instant by the awe-inspiring killing intent.

Kazama still looked calm, only the hair on his forehead fluttered slightly.On the other hand, Hijikata suppressed Kazama's knife with all his strength, and said through gritted teeth: "What do you want to do with that kind of brat?!"

The voice in the wind is cold.

"Qianzuru is unattainable to you. That's why we came to take her back... that's all."

Hijikata's tone sounded a little shocked.

"What's the meaning?!"

Liu Quan caught the subtle fluctuations in his voice in an instant.

"This kind of thing... you really don't intend to ask the woman behind you?" Kazama's voice carried a hint of interest, as if mentioning Qianzuru and at the same time constantly mentioning Liu Quan's existence would make Hijikata feel uncomfortable Chaotic.

His easy-going attitude seemed to be laughing at the stern-minded Hijikata.

"When I told the truth, that woman looked much calmer than you look now. She seemed to accept the fact immediately without hesitation-you human men are really insanely rigid. "He sneered at Earth Fang mercilessly.

The earthwork's response was to slash down with a powerful knife.

Their figures danced under the moonlight, and the sound of gold and stone made by the collision of blades was also particularly loud.One round, two rounds... a strand of Kazama's hair scattered in the air.

Although he was only an inch away from being chopped off, Kazama showed no trace of fear on his face, instead showing a smile full of interest.

"……Oh?"

Then, leaping back a little distance, he lowered the knife.

This kind of reaction made Tu Fang and Liu Quan completely unexpected.

"...why?" Tufang asked.

The fighting stopped, and no one had any intention of continuing to attack.

Tianwu spoke.

"...There's no point in fighting any longer. If we get excited, we'll be troubled."

Shiranui withdrew his pistol/gun with a displeased expression on his face.

Kazama silently nodded in agreement.

"Indeed...Since it has been confirmed, there is no need to stay here for a long time. I just came to say hello today."

Saito still exuded the murderous aura of facing the enemy.

"...Do you think you can retreat unscathed?"

This sentence made Kazama raise his eyebrows in displeasure.

"Stop bluffing out of boredom. Not to mention you, if the miscellaneous soldiers gather over when they hear the voice, I don't know how many people will die."

He finished speaking in a statement of fact, and left quietly.

Before his figure melted into the darkness, he turned around again, looked directly at Liu Quan behind Tufang, and showed an incomprehensible smile.

"Hey, human woman, go back and tell Qianzuru for me, and say—'I will come to meet you soon.... just wait with peace of mind'."

He gave Liu Quan such instructions in a casual tone.

Liu Quan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

"You'd better get rid of your idea of ​​robbing the bride as soon as possible, General of the West Ghost." She also responded in a casual tone.

"...Oh?" Kazama glanced at her as if interested.

"If I take Qianzu away, you will be the most special existence in their boring organization?" He said in a provocative tone.

In an instant, Liu Quan felt that the malice in his words made her hair stand on end.

……asshole!Do you think Shinsengumi is a dating agency? Haha!Although it sounds very attractive, she still has a clear understanding of her status - she is not a VIP member with an annual fee of tens of thousands, so it is impossible for high-quality handsome men to line up for her to choose first! !

...Also, even if Hijikata and Saito didn't have this thought and didn't hear it, there was Harada, the big celebrity in Shimabara, among the people present!It's strange that he can't hear the malice in this sentence!

"...No need." She forcefully pushed back Kazama's words.

"What kind of existence I want to be, I can achieve it by my own efforts."

For a moment Kazama seemed a little taken aback.However, he quickly raised the corners of his lips and said softly: "Oh, that's a pity." Then he walked away.

...Liu Quan almost threw the sword in his hand at his back.

idiot!If you're going to fuck off, don't forget to taunt her!What a pity!Is it implying that she, a man who hangs around with men and wields knives and swords, will be like this all her life! ...

When he was furious, Liu Quan suddenly heard the voice of "the only person present who could understand Kazama's subtext" Harada.

"...Xue Ye, are you alright?"

Gritting his teeth, Liu Quan turned around, looked at him ferociously, and managed to squeeze out an ugly smile.

"I'm fine... I just really want to kill that country ghost..."

Harada was stunned for a moment, although the situation at this time was not suitable, he still showed a faint smile, as if he had quickly understood the point of Liu Quan's complaint.

"Speaking of... Maybe it's true. I haven't heard of the existence of these guys before, maybe they are really hiding somewhere in the countryside?"

...he accidentally got the truth.Liu Quan thought.

At the same moment, Saito also turned to Liu Quan, his expression seemed to be deep in thought.

"... How many people did you know before?" He said slowly while thinking, "The tone used by the blond man is as if he has dealt with you before. And, in the conversation, even if it is unrelated He also occasionally mentions you on purpose, which is very strange... is he trying to shake you, or trying to shake us? The meaning is completely unclear—"

Liu Quan coughed in embarrassment, and after thinking about it, he confessed: "Before I met him in the small town at the foot of Tianwang Mountain, he also appeared in Ikeda House."

At that time, I didn't see Kazama fighting with Okita on the second floor of Ikeda House. The other three people present: [! ! ! 】

Liu Quan: "...I was on the way to Ikedaya with the deputy chief, because I heard Mr. Yamazaki said that the situation in Ikedaya was urgent, so I went up to the second floor by myself... Ah, speaking of it, I went directly from the door on the first floor. Climbing up the window frames and low eaves."

Hijikata, Saito, and Harada faced the situation of [a young girl can climb the second floor of the wall casually and rudely], they had no words to comment for a while, and they all put on a slightly black line at the same time. s face.

Liu Quan pretended not to see it.
