Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 5: Son of ghosts
An unexpected situation happened suddenly, I stared at him, and my mind was a little confused for a while. What is he going to do? By the way, Hijikata Toshizo, who was recorded in history, seems to be a bit flirtatious in his private life. Could it be...impossible, impossible, he probably has no interest in people like me.
Just as I was thinking, his cold hand had already slipped onto my neck, and that pleasant voice whispered in my ears: "Although I don't know why you approached the chief, but..." His hand added With great force, "If you let me know that you are a spy sent by Changzhou, I promise you will die."
His light brown pupils gradually deepened, and the smell of death clearly spread from his hands to my body, the murderous aura alone was extremely fierce. This man is indeed worthy of the title of Deputy Chief of the Devil. At this moment, my mood calmed down, he couldn't kill me here, he just had doubts about me, so I simply closed my eyes. It's not time to use spells yet.
"If you think so, just try harder." I whispered.
Time passed bit by bit, he hesitated, and slowly let go of his hand. I quickly rubbed my neck and took a few deep breaths of air.
"I understand that you who live in such a chaotic era will have such thoughts. Your trust, but I will not alienate the chief because of your suspicion, because I want to see—the smile of the chief." I stood up and said calmly.
The surprise in his eyes was fleeting, and he just looked at me.
I walked to the door, stopped again, and said, "I won't tell the director general what happened just now, because I think Mr. Tukata did it because he wanted to protect the director general."
With my back turned to him, I couldn't see his expression clearly, I only heard his slightly dark voice sounded again in a low voice: "Then you to the chief..."
"What kind of feelings does Mr. Hijikata have for the general manager, and what kind of feelings do I have for the general manager." I turned around and showed him a bright smile.
Without looking at him again, he hurried out of the room. This devil's deputy chief, it's better to stay as far away as possible...
As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw the chief executive sitting on the corridor. He had already changed back into a white kimono, his long black hair was not tied up, it was scattered casually, the wind blew his hair from time to time, brushing against his pale cheeks. The quiet corridor, the red leaves all over the ground, and the beautiful boy in white are like a static and beautiful picture scroll. I stood there quietly, unwilling to destroy that harmony.
He noticed the movement, looked at me from the side, and immediately laughed, the smile was transparent and warm, not stained with any dust.
"Xiaoyin, are you okay?"
I thought about it, walked over with a sad face, and sat down beside him.
"What's wrong?" He looked at my expression with a trace of doubt in his tone.
"It's okay." I lowered my eyes and shook my head.
"Did Mr. Hijikata say anything to you?" He became anxious.
"Well, Mr. Hijikata said that the chief..." I stopped and gave him a sideways glance. He was listening seriously, with a big question mark written on his face unabashedly.
"He said, no, I was the one who said that the chief executive was the cutest when he was fooled!" I couldn't help giggling.
The director suddenly realized that I was teasing him, and couldn't help being angry and funny, he pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, you actually dare to play tricks on me, Director Okita!"
I smiled and said, "Well, is the chief executive going to duel with me? I'm so scared."
He couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, it's getting late, I'll take you back."
I looked up at the sky, and before I knew it, it was almost dusk, and I had stayed here for so long.
"No need, I'll go back by myself. You'd better... rest." Suddenly remembering his illness, the **** scene appeared before my eyes again, and my heart ached slightly.
"I'm fine, I'm much better now." He stood up and smiled brightly at me, "Let's go." Seeing that it was useless to continue, I nodded and followed him.
As soon as I arrived at the door, a few figures came over there, and I immediately recognized Nagakura Shinpachi, Saitoichi, and Hirama Saburo with sharp eyes. There are also two players whose names cannot be called.
"Hey, Xiaoyin, have you gone back?" Sanlang greeted me.
I smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, Mr. Hirama wants to come to Omiya more often, and Mr. Saito."
I glanced at Shinpachi, and he had an ambiguous smile on his face. I hastily tugged on the sleeve of the chief executive, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid that Mr. Yongcang will say something unpleasant again.
"Mr. Hirama, are you planning to go out?" The director seemed not aware of this, and asked casually. Except for Saito, the faces of the others seemed a little weird.
"Yeah, we are going to Shimabara Kameya." Hirama said embarrassingly.
"Ah." The chief executive's expression suddenly became strange.
"What is Shimabara Kameya? Is it an izakaya? Or it sells turtles?" I asked suspiciously. The shops here are all so-and-so houses, and sometimes it is impossible to figure out what they are selling. As soon as I finished speaking, I saw everyone looked weird, as if they were holding back their smiles.
"Do you want to go? However, I think it's better not to go as a woman." Xinpachi suddenly flashed a malicious look on his face.
"Mr. Yongcang..." The director general coughed lightly.
"So what if you go, don't tell me you men can go, but women can't. I just want to go and see it, Director, let's go too!" I was even more curious when he said that.
"Hahaha!" Xin Bayi and the others laughed loudly.
"Xiao Yin, it's time to go back." The chief executive was embarrassed, and hurriedly greeted him, took my hand and walked quickly to the door, but the laughter behind him became louder and louder.
His strength is really not small, and he was pulled to the side of a bridge in a short time.
"What's the matter, what does Shimabara Kameya sell?" My curiosity remained undiminished.
"Well, that is, there is no sale there," he looked at me, and seemed to be struggling to squeeze out a few words, "there is only one kind of woman - geisha."
"Geisha?" When I heard this word, my eyes lit up, and the charming Ukiyo-e immediately appeared in my mind.
"Ah!" I suddenly yelled, "Could it be, Mr. Saito, he, he also..." It is really hard to associate the cold Saito with this aspect.
"Mr. Saito, he doesn't seem to be interested in women. Every time he keeps guard outside the door to prevent those Changzhou people from sneaking up on him." The chief executive smiled slightly.
No way, Saito is still so great...it's unbelievable...
"Then, has the general manager been there?" I blinked my eyes and asked.
His face turned slightly red, and he said, "I've been there twice, to accompany Mr. Tukata, but it's just to watch the singing and dancing, that's all. Really."
What an honest boy, I couldn't help laughing, and said: "I believe everything the general said. Oh, I think there should be an addition in the military regulations. Anyone who doesn't accompany the deputy commander to Shimabara Kameya, Haruka!" After saying that, I laughed to myself.
The general manager also laughed out loud, and we looked at each other, and laughed unscrupulously again.
Laughed for a long time before we stopped. The chief executive still had a smile in his eyes, as if something was shining in his eyes. red. I followed his gaze, ah, it turns out that our hands are still together. He let go of my hand suddenly, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
I shook my head with a smile, and was about to say something, but saw the smile on the chief executive's face disappear suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk."
As soon as the voice fell, five or six figures jumped out like ghosts and ghosts, all of them were murderous, and the sharp blades in their hands gleamed coldly. Bar.
"Shoji Okita, you lackeys of the shogunate! I don't know how many reformers have killed us, so take your life today!" The tallest one said viciously.
Suddenly, the chief executive laughed, so softly. "Then I'm sorry, you are unlucky today. Those who wave their knives at me, Souji Okita, will not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow."
The man roared and rushed over with a knife.
"Don't be afraid, close your eyes." The chief executive said to me softly. Hearing a swipe, the love sword Kaga Kiyomitsu had already been unsheathed, and his movements could not be seen at all, only an arc-shaped light of the sword flashed in the air, and the two wanderers fell into a pool of blood in response, as soon as the sword came out Sheath, and killed two people. I stretched my hands out of my arms, and it seemed that I didn't have to do anything.
At this time, the chief executive seemed to be a different person, and a strong killing intent enveloped his whole body. There was a layer of dark red luster in his black eyes, and I felt a familiar smell, which was bloodthirsty.
He raised the knife and fell, and the sharp blade mercilessly cut the throats of the remaining two people. In an instant, the dark red blood gushed like a fountain... In the dim light, the scattered blood droplets splashed on his angelic white and flawless face, so dazzlingly red! White as snow...bright red like blood...and his dark eyes emitting a faint cold light...At that moment, he changed from an angel to a devil.
Is this really the boss? Is this really the gentle boy who always smiles? Son of a ghost, is this his real other side?
You can laugh like fireworks in the afternoon, or you can kill in a dark alley on a moonlit night without changing your face.
After he cut the last man's throat, the white kimono had been stained dark red with blood. Under the setting sun, the blood-soaked young man stood with a knife in his hand, his disdainful eyes swept across the ground, the life that was still alive just now turned into a cold corpse in an instant. Looking at the scene in front of me, I haven't been able to react from the **** killing, and my heart is in a state of confusion. For a while, I really couldn't immediately accept that the murderous young man in front of me and the gentle smiling young man were the same person...
He turned his head and looked at me. To my surprise, his once pure eyes flashed with gloomy and breathless eyes. "I think I may not be able to send you back today."
I nodded.
"Well, I, I'll go first." I glanced at him and turned to leave.
"Xiaoyin..." He seemed to hesitate to speak.
I stopped.
"It's nothing, be careful on the road." His voice was a little low.
I nodded again, and walked forward without looking back. I think I need a little time to digest what happened today.
Tonight, I think I have insomnia. The **** scene kept flashing before his eyes, as well as the chief director's cold eyes. I knew in my heart that I couldn't blame him. In such a turbulent era, if he didn't do anything, he would be the one who died. But I came from a peaceful society, after all, I have never seen such a cruel scene with my own eyes—not counting the TV and movies, but it happened in front of my eyes today. The disgusting smell of blood.
Hey, Ye Yin, Ye Yin, what on earth are you here for? You are just a passer-by here, and you leave after completing your mission. How could you fall into such a bunch of inexplicable emotions? Don't forget the business, don't think so much...
