[Gintama] The Way of Slaying Ghosts

There was a few seconds of silence in the air, and Sakata Gintoki's body froze when those words fell.

Lowering his eyes, barely suppressing the restlessness and bewilderment in his heart, Sakata Gintoki grabbed Rensi's arm and walked out, and Rensi just let him pull him away. On the other side, the smile on his face became more playful.

The door was closed, Jiu Tsujisan sat on the bed in a daze holding the knife, after a long time, he moved his stiff body slightly, pulled out the knife and began to wipe, as if this could soothe the strange feeling.

On the second day, Jiu Tsuji-san looked at Yin Sakata as if nothing had happened, walked by his side as always, and yawned several times in a row due to lack of sleep.

Jiu Tsujisan looked at Rensi indifferently and said, "Let's go."

Passing through the deep and winding alley, Jiu Tsuji-san was surprised to see Renmi leading them to a dead-end alley, and then passed through the wall just like that.

Pausing for a moment, Jiu Tsuji-san was calmly preparing to pass through, but at this moment, Sakata Gintoki grabbed his hand.

It's not that they didn't hold hands, it's just that after last night, I always feel a little uncomfortable now, but looking at the natural Sakata Gin, Jiu Tsujisan still didn't say anything, just walked through the wall with him.

The sudden darkness made Jiu Tsuji-san blink a little uncomfortably, pure darkness enveloped them, and they felt that their power was also suppressed when they came here.

The faint blue will-o'-the-wisps lighted up one after another, and Jiu Tsuji-san also saw this place clearly, it was a long and narrow corridor spreading to nowhere, empty and silent, only those will-o'-the-wisps guiding the way.

Looking at Sakata Gin who was already sweating coldly, Jiu Tsujisan pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but just squeezed his hand slightly, Renmi looked at them and seemed to find something interesting and smiled lightly.

Walking all the way, there will be a door at intervals on the pure black walls on both sides, but Rensi didn't even look at it, and continued to move forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he stopped, turning his head as if listening Or maybe it was feeling to confirm something, and then pushed open the door next to it.

"Welcome to the intelligence room." The face of the man in the black cloak was completely covered by a strange mask, and the breath on his body could not tell what kind of creature it was, but it was closer to nothingness.

Glancing at the countless wooden signs floating in the air, Jiu Tsujisan's nerves tensed slightly: "Jou Guimen Jiuchu's latest news."

"Yes." The slightly rough and hoarse voice seemed to be ground out by sandpaper, "The price is a bottle of your blood."

"Okay." Jiu Tsuji-san replied without hesitation.

The soft sunlight reflected not far from the alley, Jiu Tsuji-san walked out of this dead-end alley, exhaled slowly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally... found it.

Jiu Chu has indeed come to Guiyinzhili and is still here now.

The person in the intelligence room glanced at the wooden sign that was picked out, and then only gave her this sentence, but it was enough.

"By the way, Chang Ye is coming, please pay attention, I will go out for a few days." Rensi's eyes glowed with a faint red light, "I finally came to this place, I'm going to have a good meal."

"... Whatever you want." Jiu Tsuji-san glanced at Rensi and didn't say anything.

Immediately after finishing speaking, Renmi couldn't wait to disappear and left. Turning his head, Jiu Tsujisan looked at Sakata Gin with a strange expression, and after thinking about it, he knew what he was thinking, and said calmly: "He didn't go to eat humans, There are countless ghosts wandering outside, and devouring ghosts can also fill their stomachs, but for them... it's not very tasty."

"Really." Sakata Gintoki was stunned for a moment and stopped thinking about it, just looked at Jiu Tsujisan and asked, "What is Chang Ye? Where are you going to find that Jiu Chu next?"

"Changye is the superficial meaning. During that period of time, there is no daylight, only non-stop darkness, and it is the time for those ghosts to be active and carnival, and the cracks in space everywhere will be extremely unstable." Jiu Tsujisan paused and then continued. Said, "As for Jiu Chu, I can only search around in this town first, if he is near me, Jiu Luoyin will respond."

Sakata Gintoki nodded noncommittally: "Okay."

On the way back, Sakata Ginshi approached Jiu Tsuji-san without a trace, lowered his eyes and stared seriously at the side face diagonally below, his slightly immature face was always extremely calm and self-restrained, only on the face Showing standard mockery or contempt for myself from time to time, in all fairness, I am not shaking M, how could I like it.

Sakata Gintoki thought for a long time on the bed after returning to his room last night. The faint moonlight fell on the ground through the window. He just stared at the moonlight without sleepiness, thinking over and over again since he met Jiu Tsuji-san. memory.

do you like it?Probably, after all, the subconscious reaction to Rensi's words had already given me the answer beforehand.

Then, just put her by his side and watch carefully, although he still doesn't know how Jiu Tsuji-san feels about him, but now he just needs to be careful not to let others take her away, the days ahead are still very long.

"Your lovely sister is gone." When looking at Jiu Tsujisan and Sakata Yin with bewitching eyes, the flirtatious woman leaned against the wall lazily as if her bones had been pulled out, slowly uttering After taking a puff of smoke, the gorgeous tobacco rod is casually held in the hand.

The young man in the black kimono did not speak, watching them disappear from sight quietly with his cool black eyes, then he slightly pressed down the hat he was wearing and turned away.

The woman looked at the young man's unhurried footsteps a little bored, took a last look at the corner, and sneered inexplicably, even if it was in the same small town, as long as the man didn't want to, they never would. want to find him.

"Take a rest first, your complexion doesn't look very good." Sakata Gintoki looked at Jiu Tsuji-san's slightly pale face and frowned, and directly covered her cheek with his hand, giving off an unusually cool touch It shows that her physical condition is really not good.

Jiu Tsujisan pressed his dizzy temples, and replied: "Yes." The bottle of blood that he paid before was not ordinary blood, but the same blood that contained the power of killing ghosts that was fed to Rensi.

Back at the place where they stayed, they planned to go directly to the room to rest, but they saw the cat-eared girl passing by stop, her cat ears moved slightly, and she blinked and looked at them: "There is a hot spring in the store, which can nourish the body. Do you need to lead the way?"

Sakata Gintoki glanced at Jiu Tsujisan and responded directly: "Yes." He tried his best to ignore the two tails dangling happily, thinking to himself, in fact, it is a heavenly being, a heavenly being...

Standing in front of the female soup curtain, the cat-eared girl stopped Sakata Gintoki very seriously, her cute face still had a smile on her face, but no matter how she looked at it, he felt a chill.

Therefore, Sakata Gintoki, who was blocked outside, had no choice but to hide the regret in his eyes, looked at the direction of Jiu Tsuji-san's entry with some reluctance, and then went to the male soup next door with his own things.

Perhaps because it was still early, there was no one inside at this moment. In the hot spring filled with warm white mist, the suitable temperature made all the pores open. Leaning lazily by the pool, the fatigue on his body seems to be dissipating.

However, not long after, Sakata Gintoki felt some places on his body start to itch. He opened his eyes and was about to scratch them, but suddenly stopped. His red eyes watched in astonishment as the various scars on his body were slowly fading away. Some shallow scars have now returned to smoothness.

Even the hot springs are so unusual, Sakata Gintoki sighed, and then shouted to the next door separated by only a layer of wood: "Tsuji-san?"

"Huh?" came a slightly vague voice, full of doubts.

"How is your body?" Sakata Gintoki leaned against the wooden board, quietly listening to the movement next door.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiu Tsujisan's voice sounded again: "Yes, this hot spring is indeed very suitable for nourishing the body."

Bored and looking up at the top, I don't know how long, Sakata Gintoki suddenly said again: "Tsuji-san..."

Jiu Tsujisan looked at the neighbor who didn't say anything more suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

After a long time, Sakata Yinshi replied slowly: "It's nothing."

Annoyed, he scratched the natural roll, and then covered his eyes with his hands a little discouraged, Sakata Gintoki wanted to ask Tsuji-san how he felt about him, but he still didn't dare to ask.

Forget it, let's brush up the favorability first, and then ask when the time is almost right.

Sakata Gintoki kept telling himself in his heart not to be impatient, not to be impatient...

Ahh, but I really want to know how Tsuji-san sees himself!Not only contempt and ridicule... right?

Over there, Sakata Gintoki was still struggling secretly, but Jiu Tsuji-san didn't ask any more questions, just quietly closed his eyes and soaked in the hot spring, waiting for his body to recover.

And when they went out, they only saw flames swaying everywhere in the dark shop, Jiu Tsuji closed up his bathrobe, a little dazed.

...that's Foxfire.

This store is run by monsters, so it is not surprising that it is lit with fox fire.

"What the hell happened!? I just soaked in a hot spring. Why did it go from day to night all of a sudden? Did we soak for that long? Did we!?" Sakata Gintoki looked incredulously at the completely darkened outside Sky.

Looking at the pitch-black night sky, Jiu Tsujisan could feel the ghostly aura faintly agitated in the air, and murmured: "Changye...has come."
