Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Earthwork:! ?

A look of extreme shock and disbelief instantly appeared on the deputy chief's face.He looked as if he had been injured to the extreme, the pain was so great that even the pupils of his eyes shrank slightly, and his voice fluctuated slightly because of the pain of the injury, or because of the huge mental blow.

"Xue Ye, how can you say that... We finally met again—"

However, Liu Quan watched him calmly, as if turning a blind eye to the great pain he was enduring, and slowly shook his head.

"'Ask for confusion/If you don't ask, you will have no confusion/The way of love'—"

She slowly recited a haiku, and then burst out laughing.

"—Do you think I'm the kind of ordinary woman with a love brain, who only knows to say this kind of lines related to love when parting?"

The smile on her face turned melancholy.

"The haiku I left has nothing to do with love."

she said unexpectedly.

"It's actually—" She dragged her voice slowly.

"'Sighing at the Moon of Spring / I can't sleep in the narrow plains / I only think about the coolness of the moonlight' ah~"

Said softly in such a gentle and melancholy tone, she gently turned the handle of the knife in her hand, making the blade rotate half a circle in the opponent's abdomen.

An almost vicious anger gradually appeared on her face.

"...You guys, are you trying to use the memory of the deputy chief to shake me?"

She showed a sneer.

"...Unfortunately, I cannot be stopped."

she said firmly.

"It was the deputy chief who taught me this....He taught me that no matter what happens, as long as you have a belief, you must move forward according to the belief; no matter what kind of powerful force you are about to confront -"

Even though she was temporarily immersed in the memories of the past, her expression and attitude were still determined, as if she was adhering to an indestructible will——

That is, in the years of the Shinsengumi, imprinted on her.

"At that time, it was the Imperial Banner of Brocade that stood on the opposite side of us and made us bet everything to fight. Now, for the sake of faith and truth, I can also fight against an enemy whose weight is equal to that Imperial Banner—— understand?"

The person in front of her gritted her teeth fiercely and didn't answer her immediately.

He seemed to be shaking from the pain, or maybe the knife she stabbed in the past really hit the vitals.In short, he bent down deeply, trying to cover the wound in his abdomen with one hand, but he failed because there was still a dagger stuck there.

Then, Liu Quan pulled out the dagger violently, and let go of his hand at the same time.

The fake deputy chief staggered back.

His left hand is now tightly covering the wound on his lower abdomen that was stabbed by her, but his right arm is hanging down unnaturally.

However, due to his injury, he was unable to maintain the balance of his body. As he staggered back, his body bumped into the desk before stopping.

Because of that shock, his right arm also shook a few times.

Then, a snap sounded suddenly, echoing in the empty room.

A dagger slipped out of the sleeve of his right arm and fell to the ground beside his feet.

Liu Quan slowly raised his eyebrows and smiled silently.

"What a pity," she said quietly.

"Even an idiot like me isn't that easy to clean up."

Then, she narrowed her eyes slowly, stared at the fake in front of her so coldly, and said:

"...If you are the real deputy chief, you should remember my words."

"Because these are the words that Mr. Hijikata told me to shout before rushing to face the powerful enemy."

The guy who pretended to be the deputy chief, who had never spoken since her true face was exposed by her, still remained silent after hearing this sentence.

However, his left hand, which was tightly clutching the abdominal wound, slowly moved away a little.

As the hand moved away from the surface of the wound, there came a small, ominous chugging sound from there.

Quite surprisingly, the source of the chirping sound was wisps of black mist escaping from the opening of the wound.

The false deputy chief lowered his head blankly, watching the black air escaping from the wound.Then he slowly turned his palm over, staring at the slightly viscous black liquid that was stained in his palm.

The ominous black fluid—presumably what he called "blood"—dropped from his fingertips to the floor.

He slowly raised his head again, staring at the young woman who had witnessed this scene and still looked calm.

His facial features gradually distorted.

"you--!"

He moved his lips and made a hoarse sound.

"Did you see it early...?"

The young woman in front of her smiled slightly.For some reason, there seemed to be a hint of bitterness in that smile.

"...No, I was deceived by you in the beginning."

she says.

"So, when I finally realized it, I hated you and the people behind you who ordered you to do this... even more."

"Those who take advantage of the sincere emotions harbored by others, and want to achieve their own dark goals in a despicable way-those who do this, those who plan all this... are not worthy of forgiveness."

Her face suddenly darkened, and a kind of calm and cold powerful anger suddenly emanated from her body.

"Even if you're pretending, please pretend to be like me! In the minds of you people, is this kind of Mr. Hijikata... Do you think Mr. Hijikata's enlightenment ends here?!"

The flames of anger that had been barely suppressed in his heart erupted violently.

"Mr. Hijikata...it was not that there were no other ways to escape the dead end. I heard those foreigners talking about why he refused the French side's appreciation and invitation...but this is Mr. Hijikata. For him, belief He Shidou is more important than anything else!"

She sneered.

"Even if he clearly knows that what he is walking is a road that goes against the flow of history, he will not give up what he is fighting for and intoxicated so easily..."

"So, I finally figured it out."

"...Some people can become god judges, but Hijikata-san won't do that."

"A thousand times and ten thousand times again, knowing that I will sacrifice myself if I go, knowing that what I am doing is not tolerated by the times and history..."

"Mr. Hijikata, you will still make that decision. Follow your own heart, follow your own path—"

"In his mind, the position of 'God Judge' will definitely not be more important than that of 'Deputy Chief of the Shinsengumi'."

Hearing this sentence, the fake deputy chief seemed to be unable to stand still anymore, and staggered two steps——

Then, he suddenly tried his best to straighten his body, and at the same time, he stepped on the handle of the dagger that fell to the ground with his right foot!

The short knife jumped upwards, he grasped such a small jump distance, picked it up with his toes and then kicked forward forcefully, the short knife flew forward!

However, before the flying dagger pierced the body of the young woman in front of him, the false deputy commander heard a sigh similar to an exclamation from the woman whose face seemed to be so young forever.

"...You guys really don't know what 'Raksha' is, do you?"

Before her words fell, her hair suddenly turned white.

She still stood where she was, not intending to dodge or intercept the dagger flying towards her.In the next second, with a chirping sound, the dagger pierced straight into her thigh.

She hissed, and stretched out her hand to pull out the dagger that didn't go deep into the flesh.

Even if it didn't go deep into the flesh, the blade was sharp after all, and bright red blood flowed out from that small wound.

She narrowed her eyes, hiding those red pupils.

"...Then let me show you why Hijikata-san made me like this in the first place."

She said so in a leisurely tone, and then, under the watchful eye of the fake deputy chief, she gently wiped the cloth around the wound with her left hand, then stretched out her five fingers with the palm facing upwards, and stretched out in front of him, as if to Show him something.

... In the palm of his hand was only the dust stained by the fierce battle with the enemy at the Bentendaiba just now, and the old blood that had dried up.Not a trace of fresh, unclogged bright red blood.

The wound has healed quickly.

She met the unbelievable eyes of the fake deputy chief, and raised the corners of her lips.

"Got it?...Even if I'm a monster like you, I'm a monster you can't kill."

She said so lightly.

The fake deputy chief: "..."

The action just now seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength.The black air escaping from his wound was getting thicker and thicker.He opened his mouth, but it seemed that he could no longer speak, so he could only stare at the young woman with a smile in front of him with resentful eyes.

The young woman in front of her seemed to be ignoring his gaze -- she didn't seem to see his face, which was exactly the same as the person she deeply missed.

"I'm going to find out who ordered you to do this," she said quietly.It doesn't look like an ultimatum, nor does it look like venting anger, it's just a normal and objective notification.

Finally, the false deputy chief could no longer stand, and fell sideways to the ground with a plop.

Wisps of black air began to emerge from all over his body.

Seeing this scene, the young woman in front of him did not waver in the slightest.

She just stood there so straight, and her hair suddenly turned black again.

Then, she looked down, and her eyes fell on him as if without substance.

...Finally, in those eyes that had faded from the blood red and regained their clarity, there was a layer of emotions similar to emotion, reminiscence and sadness.

"...So, in the end, it's just wishful thinking on my part—"

Her voice suddenly dropped a lot.Rather than saying a victory declaration to the defeated enemy curled up at his feet, it is more like a soliloquy with a certain sense of melancholy.

"I've always been thinking, if one day I can see Mr. Hijikata again, I must tell him—"

"No matter how far I have gone, no matter whether I can reach him again..."

"I'm going to say 'to this day, you are my light'."

"However, the one who is my light is not you."

"I know he has disappeared into history, and I will never see him again...I probably just didn't want to admit this fact."

"But now I understand—"

"Even if we move forward, it is impossible to reach him—"

"I still have to keep moving forward."

"Because only by doing so can our meeting be meaningful."

In her voice, the appearance of the person curled up on the ground gradually changed.

In a thick black mist, sharp bony spurs and long horns slowly grew from the top of his head and behind him.

Then, that distorted figure was in the black mist again, accompanied by an ominous chirping sound, and slowly turned into the same black air, melting into the black mist without a trace.

The moment he disappeared, Liu Quan's eyes seemed to widen slightly, staring fixedly at the ground where he had been lying on before.

Now, there is no one there.

I don't know how long I just stared like this, maybe it was just a few seconds—she suddenly closed her eyes slowly, and lowered her head slightly; a small drop of water came out of her long eyelashes. down, and slid down her cheek.

However, she didn't realize it, she just moved her lips and murmured softly.

"...Mr. A-year-old."

The author has something to say:

February 4:

I probably spoke English for the whole year...

Moreover, I have a complete cold... Now my headache feels like it's about to burst...

I need to heal【.

Let me explain, the girl really didn't notice anything wrong at first, so including shooting and wounding the deputy chief in Utsunomiya, she herself was very painful.

I found that there seemed to be something wrong with this person, and it started from the time she visited his Honmaru.

Because whether it is the flag of sincerity, or intentionally leaving her real name on the document, it is too superficial, and it feels too easy for her to obtain the coordinates of the Honmaru, as if there is some power behind it He led her there and concluded that that person was the deputy chief.

The girl feels that she has always been lucky E [you are enough

But as she said, there may still be unrealistic expectations deep in her heart.

Of course, the girl has other reasons to be suspicious, and these will be slowly written in the article later.

Until she deliberately used a coquettish and capricious attitude to ask the deputy chief about the haiku she left when she parted. In fact, this was her last temptation.

Of course, as you can see, the results were disappointing.

This is the power of the truth line [Get kicked away
