Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

When passing through the closed gate of Ipponki, although it felt like the army still fighting in chaos and chaos nearby seemed to be leaderless and in chaos, but Liu Quan, who was eager to rush to Bentendaiba, had no time to take care of these.

After that is a forest, and then the foreign bridge.Liu Quan was already familiar with the geography of this area.

Can you pass through here safely and reach Bentendaiba?Will those terrifying premonitions come true?Can that kind of chilling history repeat itself in this illusory world? !

Liu Quan barely suppressed the chill that was gradually steaming in his heart, and desperately urged the horse to gallop forward.

Her short, freshly cropped hair billowed in the wind, and the long hem of the oversized coat she wore fluttered as the horse galloped.After throwing away the rifle/gun she was carrying when she walked out of Goryokaku, all her sidearms now are just two knives, one big and one small, stuck in her waist.The purple streamer wrapped around the handle of the knife was slightly loosened, fluttering in the wind brought by the galloping horse.

She had already left behind the wooden closed door.The steed under Liu Quan's crotch has rushed into the woods leading to the foreign bridge.In my ears, there seemed to be the sound of rumbling cannons that sounded from time to time in Bentendaiba.

... Mr. Hijikata is in Goryokaku, what are you doing right now?

... He would never guess her crazy, absurd, and illogical adventure plan, would he? !

...Don't...don't chase it out, Mr. Hijikata.

...don't find the rifle/gun she abandoned in the grass by the roadside.

...don't ever see the long hair she cut off halfway...

...Even if you saw that, even if you guessed her plan, don't chase after her, Hijikata-san.

...Because, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it doesn't matter if you have long hair, it doesn't matter whether she took a gun or a knife.

...The important thing is you, Mr. Hijikata.

...The important thing is that you are alive, and after today, tomorrow, and countless days of rising and setting like this...you can still live, Mr. Hijikata.

There are so many people I can't save in time, there are so many people I can't keep, and the journey is full of sudden life and death that I can't refuse.

But this time is different.I bet my life this time, and I won't let you repeat your predestined fate.

Your life shouldn't have come to an abrupt end so short.

Hijikata-san... Many people will be happy if you live.

real.Many who are here, many who are gone, and ... ten years from now, many in 100 years ...

will be very happy.Glad you didn't die, glad you survived such a cruel war...

Even the shogunate, even Shidou, is not worth sacrificing like this.

Even if you survive, there must be a way to continue the Shidou you believe in, Hijikata-san—

【boom--! 】

In Liu Quan's consciousness, which had already been compressed by the oncoming gust brought up by the speedy gallop, a gunshot sounded suddenly.

The strong impact made Liu Quan's body shake.

Frightened by the gunshots, the horse raised its hind legs and threw Liu Quan on the horse's back heavily.

Liu Quan only felt his eyes go dark, and then his body was thrown high up.Before landing on the ground, she heard the hooves of the frightened horse running wildly, getting farther and farther away from her, and finally ran to nowhere.

At the moment when he was shot and fell off the horse, Liu Quan even felt a burst of relief.

But soon, the impact of falling from the horse brought more pain to her body.She couldn't even tell if it was more painful where she was shot, or if the impact of rolling on the ground after falling from the horse felt worse.

The body rolled many times on the bumpy dirt road due to the inertia of being thrown out, many parts of the body were worn out, and there was burning pain.The whole back seemed to be falling apart, and the crackling sound of the bones could be heard when he moved a little.

When the body was completely still, the pain from the lower left abdomen was slowly transmitted to the brain, and then spread.

The pain is hard to describe, sometimes it is burning pain, sometimes it feels cold, as if the life force in the body is lost along with the gurgling blood; sometimes it is a throbbing pain There was a throbbing pain, as if the pain had turned into a blunt knife, sawing back and forth and slowly grinding the open wound, as if intending to cut open the flesh and take out the internal organs.

Liu Quan was lying there on her back, the long hair that she hastily cut off halfway with a wakizawa had become about the same length as Hijikata's hair, and it was messily scattered on the ground behind her head, mixed with mud and blood, and there was a strand of hair sticking to it. On her face, it made her a little itchy, but she didn't have the strength to raise her hand to push the unruly lock of hair aside.

She slowly moved her left hand, moved it with difficulty to her painful lower left abdomen, touched it, and immediately felt a sticky feeling of liquid on her hand.

...are you going to die...?

This simple question came to her mind in an instant.

The black dress jacket that was wearing exactly the same as that of Hijikata seemed to be able to transmit his body temperature and unique smell. Liu Quan opened his eyes and looked blankly at the unexpectedly clear sky above his head.The sky was divided into strange blue pieces by the crowns and branches of the big trees in the forest. Through those dense branches and leaves, she seemed to be able to see the white clouds flowing slowly in the sky.

...It seems that it doesn't matter if you die like this...

A dazed thought floated up.

... Sure enough, someone wanted to plot against him from behind...

Immediately afterwards, such inferences rose from her somewhat hazy consciousness.

...Who wants to plot against him...? !Who wouldn't want him to live? !

But all of this, even after a hundred years, there will be no answer, let alone now.

Liu Quan felt that his breathing was getting slower and slower, and his heart beat more and more difficult every time.The massive loss of blood quickly took away the temperature of her body, and now she felt as if she was immersed in a pool of water that was about to freeze in winter, and was slowly sinking, about to sink.

It seemed that the only thing on her body that could temporarily keep her warm was the coat.Liu Quan slowly closed his eyes.

...Surely he wouldn't die just like that, would he?Because the system bacteria have promised themselves swearingly——

However, it is not wrong, the pain, cold, exhaustion and other near-death experiences she felt at this moment did not reduce the torment brought to her body by a single bit.

...But it's okay to lie quietly like this for a while...Anyway, those people—those villains who wanted to kill the deputy head of the Shinsengumi back then, would think that their scheme had succeeded and give up after seeing this scene right?

What's more... the system bacteria didn't say how the player would be resurrected from this near-death experience.Judging from its painting style of sitting and watching her injured countless times before, maybe this time she can only slowly suffer from such a serious injury that can take the life of a normal person, leaving only one breath in the air. , and recover more slowly?

All sorts of chaotic and irrelevant thoughts swiped across the screen in her chaotic mind, but in the end, when the initial anger, panic and difficulty in calming down caused by being hit by a bullet all disappeared, All that flitted through her mind were the scenes of the most beautiful scenes in her life.

The people who appeared in those scenes were very familiar and vivid.

The vivacious and cunning general manager, the funny but outspoken Shinpachi, the youthful and unscheming Hirasuke, the handsome Zuoyuki who looks like a popular lover, the good-natured director Kondo, who is like a reliable Uncle Gen, who is as kind as an elder, Shimada, who is as loyal as a big bear, and Yamazaki, who is always hidden in the shadows but is extremely reliable...

Also, once gentle and gentle, but in the end because of his stubborn self-esteem as a swordsman, he drank water and became a bloodthirsty Rakshasa. At the end of his life, he defeated Rakshasa's madness and turned his After Wakizawa left her, Shannan's body was wiped out...

And, always so taciturn, calm and rational, but always being played around by her, listening to every word of her with an inexplicable expression, but also very seriously, promised to catch up with everyone and reunite Xiaoyi .

Tears trickled out drop by drop from under her tightly closed eyelids, slid down her cheeks, and fell soundlessly into the ground beneath her.

In the end, what she thought of was the Oni's deputy chief of the Shinsengumi, who was stern and caring, and would give death orders or seppuku orders to his subordinates at every turn, but was unexpectedly trustworthy and admired by Mr. Hijikata, whom he wanted to rely on.

Many, many pictures of him flashed across her mind instantly, many, many words he had said, his expression, his character, his back...but at the end, what emerged in her mind was actually It was a word she had almost forgotten.

【...She is capable enough to handle those things by herself. 】

Ah, this is what he said to the two of them when she and Chizuru sneaked into Shimabara in disguise at the end of the second year of Keio to find out information.

At that time, they found the rogue of the chief sa, drinking and having fun in the corner room while planning a plot to attack the Shinsengumi.Chizuru hastily informed him, but when he arrived, he decided to let her stay in the corner house to monitor those rogues, and only took Qianzu away from the place that had become dangerous.

At that time, he said: 【...She is capable enough to handle those things by herself. 】

...Is that so...Mr. Hijikata...Do you really think that my skills are enough to deal with all the dangers by myself...?

Such thoughts floated up, Liu Quan wanted to smile wryly, but found that he was unable to do what he wanted.

... At that time, he should have really believed so.

He believed in her skill and in her wisdom.He believes that she is not a weak woman who will cause trouble to others and will only helplessly let others go to great lengths to protect her.He believes that she is strong enough, strong enough to stand side by side with him to solve those dangerous problems, and believes that she is worthy of relying on at critical moments——

Although she didn't want to admit it, but... it seemed that in many moments, this sentence, which sounded a little hurtful at first, was kept in her heart all the time, and inspired her to muster up the courage to move forward in any danger.

Because that person believed in her so deeply.

Liu Quan let out a long breath tremblingly.

The physical pain seems to be gradually increasing, while the consciousness is becoming very light.What the system bacteria once said seems to be less and less enough to make people have strong self-confidence and convince themselves that they can safely pass through the critical moment of life and death in front of them——

What if the system bacteria only lost their credit this time.What if he died like this?Even so, it's too late to regret...?

She blinked her eyes and wondered blankly, wondering if at the moment of dying, the [Advanced Disguise] produced by System Bacteria would be like her previously sealed superpower, once she lacked mental power and Will the maintenance of physical strength and ability effects disappear and become unusable?

...I'm sorry, Mr. Hijikata...I seem to...have encountered something that I can't handle with my own skills...

...Although I made a samurai oath with you, I still couldn't keep it in the end...

... After all, I'm just a girl, so I can't become a samurai... It must be ridiculous for me to make such an oath now.

...But... I didn't mean to miss the appointment.

...But, it seems that I can only follow you so far...

"... Snow Leaf!!"

Suddenly, a voice shouted a second before her consciousness was about to levitate.

"Yue Ye! Xue Ye!! Please wake up, Xue Ye!!"

That low and magnetic voice is so familiar, full of sternness, worry and tension.But now, the owner of that voice may be because he shouted too hard, as if his vocal cords were about to be torn apart.

"Open your eyes, Yuki!! Open your eyes and look at me!!"

That voice was like a flash of lightning, which suddenly split her already chaotic world, tore apart her dazed consciousness, and dragged her back to the real world.

"Please don't die, Xue Ye!!"

The owner of that voice seemed to be kneeling beside her, bending down towards her face, holding her shoulders with both hands, as if wanting to get a closer look at her face that had lost its color.

His shouts sounded very close to her face.She could no longer ignore this voice, and she could no longer let her weakened will go silent in the chaos.

With all her strength, she barely opened her eyes.The eyelids were very heavy, as if they might fall down again at any moment.

"I... I'm fine, Tu... Tufang... Sir..."

It was with all her strength that she managed to squeeze out a word from between her teeth.

The author has something to say:

February 6:

Continue to explode the word count today. . .Please don't pay attention to the author's bad logic.

The real cause of the deputy chief's death seems to be very controversial. It has always been said that he was shot by a stray bullet in the fierce battle between Benmuguanmen and Yiguoqiao. The deputy commander must be assassinated, because the deputy commander is not only the most capable general in the Ezo army, but also a firm non-surrender faction. For those who want to make peace or surrender with the new government army, the deputy commander is the biggest The stumbling block, so. . .

Well, so this chapter adopts the latter statement.
