Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Liu Quan stood there for a while, watching the back of the real deputy chief disappear at the end of the corridor; after that, she slowly reached into her pocket and took out an item.

It's the Shinsengumi's Cheng character armband.

She turned back and pinned the armband on her left arm, and then walked out of the door of the earthwork office with great strides, walked through the corridor, stepped down the stairs, and walked along the route that the earthwork had just left. The gate of the building of the execution office.

However, in the courtyard, there is no earthwork.Obviously, he has left Goryokaku and embarked on the road to Bentendaiba.

Liu Quan briefly looked up to the sky in the courtyard, holding back the tears in his eyes.

This is a fact that no amount of tears can change.That being the case, then do something that you can do now.

Then, she leveled her eyes again and looked around.

There was a sound of rustling footsteps beside him, as if stepping on the flowers and leaves falling on the ground from the bushes and slowly walking out.

Immediately, the familiar voice sounded again from the direction of the footsteps.

"So, have you figured out what to do, Xue Ye?"

Although she seems to have stayed in that building for too long, the sky seems to have passed noon; she missed the time to meet everyone outside Goryokaku, and she doesn't know how anxious the other fusangshen were, How did they speculate on what happened to their god judge? But at this moment, Sanri Yuezong's voice was gentle and calm, and there was an unshakable strong will behind the tone, as if nothing could affect his determination.

The handsome Fu Sangshen calmly turned out from behind the bush beside her, walked up to her and stood still, his eyes with crescent moon rested quietly on her face.

"Ready...to preserve history?"

This sentence is said more like a natural statement than a question.He didn't seem to be asking for her opinion at all, but was informing her of the mission to be completed next.

Fu Sangshen, who was under his command, gave an ultimatum-like order in turn, but the female interrogator was not angry, but raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"Sanriyue," she didn't answer "yes" or "no", but called him before continuing, "what do you think history can bring us?"

Sanri Yuezong was slightly condensed.

"What?" he asked.

The female judge didn't seem to have any intention of embarrassing him, so she continued on.

"'History' is the foundation of 'future', without 'history', we cannot reach the 'future' we are in now, right?"

Sanri Yuezong didn't speak a word.

The female Goddess didn't seem to have hoped to get any answers from him, but wanted to use this to clarify her thoughts, and continued on her own:

"So in order for that 'future' not to be shaken, we must sacrifice everything to preserve 'history', no matter what we may lose in the process..."

Mikazuki Zongjin still didn't speak.

The female examiner suddenly smiled.

"Isn't this just like the classic problem, a speeding train is running on the rails and can't stop, there is a switch ahead, one leads to a hundred people, and the other leads to three people...how do you choose?"

She suddenly turned her gaze, which had just been staring ahead, to Sankai Yuezong.He probably felt that this might mean that he finally couldn't keep silent any longer, so he thought about it seriously.

"...Switch?" he said finally, with a questioning look on his face.

The female examiner let out a burst of laughter, but the smile was very short, and it flashed across her face.

"I should have guessed it a long time ago..." She shook her head with a smile, and said, "Turning the switch can move the train—well, let's just think it is equivalent to a hundred galloping little larks dragging a heavy iron train. Let’s take the carriage—lead in a certain direction. Choose a hundred people? Or choose those three people?”

Sanri Yuezong sighed.

"Mr. Xueye, you are complaining for those three people, right?" He finally said.

"In your mind, whether it is the Shinsengumi or Hijikata Toshizo, they all belong to the 'three people', people who have to give up for the sake of the overall situation, but their sacrifice will bring great pain... right. "

The female examiner smiled.

Sanri Yuezong watched her quietly with those famous and beautiful eyes.There seemed to be a trace of sorrow and pity in those eyes, which made him look aloof and look down on all living beings for a moment, like a real god; but the next moment, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, and suddenly stepped forward. The first two steps instantly made the distance between the two of them invisible.

Then, he raised his right hand, turned it over, and gently brushed her cheek with the back of his finger.

"If history is changed, our future will also be changed..."

"If someone in history is to survive, the price is that Mr. Xueye who exists in the 'future' no longer exists..."

He smiled and sighed.

"So for me, it's better to maintain history, right?"

The female examiner was taken aback!

But Mikazuki Zongjin didn't stop here.

He continued to stare at her with a smile, the back of his fingers resting on her cheek, the cold leather texture of the black gloves seemed to imprint a strange feeling on her skin.

"As you can see, I'm already a grandfather."

"In this long life, I have witnessed many regrettable things so far..."

His voice lowered a little.

"So I really don't want to leave any regrets."

Female examiner:? !

She couldn't help but suddenly opened her eyes wide!

But after a moment, she seemed to understand something, and smiled wryly.Then he stretched out his left hand, held his right hand that was resting on his cheek, rubbing her cheek repeatedly with the back of his finger, and slowly pulled it down.She also lowered her eyes and stared at their two clasped hands.

"Really?" she asked softly.

"...But I was created by the series of regrets that I have experienced, so I can become the me standing in front of you now."

As she said so, she slowly raised her eyebrows.

Mikazuki Zongjin also raised his eyebrows.He lowered his gaze, also watching the hand she held his.Then, he flipped his hand lightly in her palm, and held her hand in his own instead.

"...Really." He whispered.

"Then it's even more important to preserve history." He replied with a smile.

"It seems to me that it's because of regrets that people keep moving forward—"

"It's different from our swords, which can only carry regrets and wait passively."

"Being a human being, I try my best to make up for my regrets, change my life, keep moving forward, and make more thoughts, efforts and even sacrifices in order to make up for my regrets, so that my life will grow into a completely different appearance. —that’s what makes mortals interesting and valuable.”

"This is also the difference between the sword and the mortal world. No matter how regretful we are, we can only stagnate and cannot move forward..."

Fu Sangshen, one of the Five Swords in the World, smiled slightly.

"We can only follow your regrets and move forward together."

"I've seen a lot of people's regrets so far... But even if I was brought forward, I didn't feel like I had to intervene like I do now."

"The more lofty your goals, the heavier your regrets. But you have worked hard not to be overwhelmed and carry them to this day, and have done many incredible things... What else can you go to? I'm curious about what kind of place it is."

He seemed to have never said something so clear that it was so deep that it could almost make people close to his heart.But strangely, it seems that the painting style of the confidant big brother is also very suitable for him.

Thinking of this, the female judge couldn't help but smile slightly.The melancholy that was crowded in my chest just now faded a lot unconsciously.

"It's really cunning." She said half-jokingly, "So you have been staying by my side, just to see where my ambitions can extend?... Among your previous masters, there are many Someone with ambition or ability, such as the Beizheng Institute—”

"No." Sanri Yuezong shook his head resolutely.

"Her goal is the same as everyone else's. It's nothing more than assisting the general—for her, her husband—and conquering the world. This kind of thing has happened repeatedly before my eyes for thousands of years, and it's no longer a novelty..."

The female examiner thought about his glorious experience and background, so she was relieved, nodded and said: "Well, so I don't have such great ambitions—"

"No." Sanri Yuezong interrupted her for the second time.

"Your ambition is much greater than hers."

Female examiner: "...Eh?!"

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, staring at Fu Sangshen in front of her.

"Hey, hey~ To say that my ambition is bigger than the wife of the Beizheng Office or any general, it's too..." She smiled and said slowly, half mockingly.

The expression on Sanri Yue Zongjin's face was devoid of the usual half-truth and half-fake attitude of pleasure.The corners of his lips slowly flattened, and then tightened into a straight line - which just showed that he seemed to be serious.

"You're not going after something so big for yourself...that's the real fun," he said slowly.

"At first, I just thought that you were just a good eyeliner and spy, and you could do a good job even in a place like Shinsengumi; then I saw your sincerity, and I began to think that you are a bit strange..."

"And then, I had a strange intuition, that is——even if you acted more devoted, whether it was Saito Kazu, Hijikata Toshizo, or even the Shinsengumi... none of them were your end."

Five Swords Under Heaven sighed again.

"Your fall in Hakodate almost overturned my intuition. Until we reunited in Edo... no, Tokyo—many years later."

He felt the hand in his palm tremble slightly.So he slowly pursed his lips into a smile.

...... hit the mark.

"Mr. Xueye, where do you want to go, and where you will eventually arrive where I don't know. I am looking forward to it."

After making a sudden attack and capturing a corner of the opponent's iron-walled defense, you might as well just let it go.After a long time, he is very familiar with this subtle strategy of chasing people's hearts.

Besides, he already said too much today.He would have to say more, or reveal more of his heart than usual, in order to break down her impenetrable defenses—and perhaps to drive out some of the names hidden within that impenetrable heart.

She is not someone who can easily submit to him with simple tenderness, obedience, praise, or favor.

It's scary.

Again, this is the ultimate challenge—and reward.

He was looking forward to seeing the end point she had been pursuing all along, to win the final victory in that place that no one else could have imagined, and to grab her strong heart.

That feeling is probably worth all his patient waiting in such a long time.
