[Comprehensive Manga] Force supremacy

Midwinter, early morning, heavy snow and early sunshine.Dengshi opened the door, and a person fell into the shop with a bang.

"This is..." The boy who looked about 15 years old was only wearing shorts and long sleeves, and fell to the ground covered in travel dust, holding a long object in a black cloth bag in his arms.He has short curly silver hair, his eyes are closed tightly, and he doesn't know whether he passed out or fell asleep.

Deng Shi recalled the knock on the door she heard in the middle of the night last night. If it was this boy, he would have stayed in the snow for at least six or seven hours.She leaned down and turned the boy over, sniffed his breath, then turned around and shouted into the room, "Catherine, come out."

Qi Lianhe knew that he was dreaming, and when he had something hard to forget, he would dream.The night when the moonlight was as cool as water was his 15th birthday, and it was also the day when he inherited the natal mantra.He remembered that the moon was very big and round that day, and it slanted into the Hall of Ten Thousand Mantras, stretching the shadows of him and the master very long.

The old cat who didn't know how long it had lived was looking at him lazily, its cloudy amber eyes seemed to become much clearer under the moonlight.The empty mantra of the runaway shattered the surrounding space, and the old cat was still lazy. He heard the master talking, but he couldn't hear what he said.

"I'll come back alive, Master," he heard himself say.The surrounding space quietly shattered, and he stepped forward, stepping into the black passage leading to the unknown space.

In the narrow and indoor room, the sleepy Qi Lianhe sniffled, sat up, and then opened his eyes.The taste of food.He hadn't smelled anything like this in days.

so hungry.Qi Lianhe only had these two words in his head.He stood up, picked up the black cloth bag on his back, and followed the scent.so hungry.Qi Lianhe's gray-blue eyes almost manifested these two words.

"...Yesterday afternoon, the police once again found the bodies of two Celestial beings in the suburbs one kilometer away from Edo. This is the fifth homicide against Celestial beings in seven days. The Shinsengumi stated that this incident is still under investigation. Dear citizens , especially those who stay in Edo, please try to avoid acting alone at night, if you find any suspicious person, please contact the Shinsengumi..."

Deng Shi raised his head from the TV broadcasting the news, and was surprised to see the silver-haired boy standing in the shadows.He woke up much earlier than she expected. "Are you all right?" Putting away his surprise, Dengshi asked in a low tone.

Qi Lianhe stared blankly at the fried fish and natto on the table, the rising heat was like a gentle and seductive hand, constantly stirring his stomach. "Very hungry..."

Deng Shi couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips, and looked sideways at Catherine. "Go get him another set of dishes, Catherine."

"I said a long time ago that I don't want to deal with this kind of person. I kindly took him in and let him eat plain rice, tsk..." Catherine complained softly, but she still got up and walked to the inner room, and brought out a bowl of plain rice.

"Eat if you're hungry." Before Dengshi finished speaking, a pale arm stretched out in front of her, and the bowl in his hand was already empty.

"Sorry, can I have extra food?" Qi Lianhe asked while biting his chopsticks.

For breakfast, Qi Lianhe ate five large pots of rice.When he finally stopped, Catherine looked at him from disgust at the beginning to numbness from excessive shock. "This unpleasant sense of sight..." She thought of the orange-haired girl upstairs who was about the same age as this boy.When the girl first arrived, she ate like this, as if she hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.

Dengshi asked Catherine to clean up the dishes, while he took out his pipe, stuffed the shredded tobacco into it, lit it, and took a deep breath.This time, she seems to have picked up another amazing kitten.

The black bag he carried behind his back contained a sword.Deng Shi stumbled upon this while moving him into the house.And judging from his appearance, it seems that he is very used to carrying a long sword with him.

The abolition of swords has been promulgated for so long. Apart from the Zhenxuan group, the only people who carry weapons are the people with lofty ideals, and judging by his appearance, it is obviously impossible to be the former.Deng Shi looked at the boy who was patting his belly with satisfaction, and sighed.

"What's your name? How did you pass out here?"

It was only then that Qi Lianhe remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet. "I'm Qi Lianhe, thank you for saving me. It was very late when I found this city yesterday. I don't know why the doors of every house are closed. I tried to knock on the door but no one answered. Finally I fell asleep because I was so hungry."

this city?Deng Shi looked at the boy in front of him sternly, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know where this is?"

"Sorry, I don't know. There was no one on the road last night, so I didn't even want to ask anyone." Qi Lianhe scratched his hair in annoyance, making the slightly curly silver hair more messy.He raised his head to look at Dengshi, his gray-blue eyes made his innocent face more innocent, "Can you tell me, where is this place? I think I'm probably lost."

The corner of Dengshi's mouth twitched, noncommittal to the boy's words. "So, where are you from? Where are you going?"

"I set off from City X, you probably haven't heard of this name. The place I'm going to is probably going back. However, before I leave, I will definitely defeat the strongest here! The title of strongest can only be It's mine!" Qi Lianhe's words made Dengshi a little surprised.Is it the strongest?There are many people who aim at this, but in the end, there will only be one who succeeds.

Qi Lianhe looked at Dengshi's kimono, then looked at the typical izakaya layout around him, and suddenly punched his left hand with his right hand, "I see, this is Japan? No wonder I can't understand any of the signs on the street." .”

Qi Lianhe grew up in China. He once went to Japan to challenge the strong. He learned Japanese in the process, but he heard that it was no problem. When it comes to reading and writing, he is no different from an illiterate.Still, even just listening and speaking is a gift that can be learned in just a few months.

...What's with that proud face!I don't know if this is Japan, is it because I got lost in another country and came to Japan?Dengshi's hands holding the pipe trembled a little, because he was angry. "Little rascal, don't think you can fool me by lying. Here, you'd better be honest with me."

"I'm telling the truth." Qi Lianhe opened his eyes slightly, his expressionless face looked innocent.

boom!Qi Lianhe covered his head, Dengshi leisurely withdrew his pipe, and took a puff. "Don't wander around outside in the middle of the night, kid. Edo is not peaceful recently."

Qi Lianhe immediately picked up, "Are you going to take me in? Thank you! If there is a need for help, I will definitely help. Whether it is a monster, a devil, or an enemy, as long as you ask, I will definitely help. You get rid of it—oh!" Qi Lianhe was hit hard on the head again.

"When did I say I wanted to take you in, brat!" Dengshi tried hard to restrain the flickering brows, but after a while, she still let out a soft breath. "I won't take you in. The tavern doesn't have any spare rooms, so it's inconvenient for you to live in." After all, this place is full of female relatives. "I will introduce you to Wanshiwu. If they don't want to take you in, don't blame me."

"Hi! Thank you!" Qi Lianhe, who was usually in a state of lack of facial expression, showed a sincere smile.His master once commented on his expression as a nirvana for smiling, basically unstoppable.

Dengshi was no exception, she turned her face away in a concealed manner, coughed twice, "Go and put your shoes on, I'll take you up there."

"Hi!" Qi Lianhe returned to his expressionless state, turned around and ran into the house.

"Mother-in-law!" Catherine, who was wiping the table, threw the rag on the table, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why did you let this kid stay? Unknown origin, unknown identity and a sword, he must not be a good person!"

Dengshi took a puff of smoke heavily, "Catherine, I, an old woman, can tell the truth from the lies." Although this brat was indeed suspicious, what he said was the truth.

And this 15-year-old kid, even though his appearance and expression are different, still reminds her of the samurai who was so downcast that he ate the offerings of the dead many years ago.Their eyes are very similar.In this case, it should be better for Yinshi to look at him.Dengshi sighed expressionlessly.

Half an hour later, Dengshi took Qi Lianhe to stand outside the door of Wanshiwu.Dengshi knocked on the door, shouted a few times inside, and after a while, someone opened the door.

Silver hair?There was a hint of interest in Qi Lianhe's eyes.The people in the place where he lived had black hair. Since he was a child, he used up countless bottles of hair dye to cover up his silver hair.Fortunately, these gray-blue eyes were brought about by his natal mantra. Before that, he had black eyes, otherwise he would have to wear contact lenses for many years.

"Mother-in-law, the monthly rent for this month will be postponed for a few more days..." The silver-haired man leaned against the door frame with a tired face, but when he saw Qi Lianhe standing behind Dengshi, his eyes widened slightly. The muscles in his body tensed involuntarily.

What a surprise, it doesn't look like a capable person at all from the outside.Qi Lianhe keenly grasped the unnatural moment of the silver-haired man, and he also noticed the lingering guard after the other party relaxed.Did he smell the blood on his body?Qi Lianhe was a little annoyed.It's a pity that such a master can't draw his sword in front of him.

Kill this man and find another place to take him?Qi Lianhe's thought just turned around in his head before dissipating.This is the only place in this city that can accommodate him——his intuition told him so.

The thoughts between the two of them were only completed in the same eye. At this moment, Deng Shi angrily reprimanded the silver-haired man, "Silver time! I remember you last month last month and last month last month. The rent has not been paid, how long are you going to delay it?"

"Give me a few more days, just a few more days!" Yin Shi clasped his hands together and vowed, "I will definitely raise enough money!"

"Forget it. Anyway, I'm not here to collect debts this time." Deng Shi, who knew the other party's virtues well, sighed, and let Qi Lianhe behind him come out sideways. "I don't have any room there. I remember you have a small room above this. I'll leave this child to you."

"Wait, wait!" Yin Shi was stunned, "Even if you say so, mother-in-law, I will..."

Dengshi completely ignored Yinshi's complaints, turned around and walked downstairs.Gintoki poked his head out from the door frame and yelled loudly trying to change Dengshi's mind, "Hey, mother-in-law!"

"Let him live with you, and this month's rent will be waived for you." Dengshi, who was almost at the end, suddenly said something, Yinshi was stunned, and shouted louder, "Wait, at least two Moon!" "Mother-in-law, go slowly." Qi Lianhe bowed slightly, and shouted in a drawn-out tone, his voice overshadowing Yinshi's shout.

Deng Shi's figure completely disappeared, Yin Shi scratched his hair, sighed, and muttered, "Another good opportunity of rent-free wasted", and after a while, he turned his head to look at Qi Lianhe, the voice that was still high just now suddenly Getting languid, "Come in, kid."
