[Gintama] The Story of Me and Curly Yaksha

My Story with Curly Yaksha 32

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when the diplomatic conference ended, and most people had already gone home for dinner, but Zhiyi's itinerary for today was obviously not over.There are too many official duties to do every day since becoming Ruonianji. In the final analysis, it is because too few capable people are willing to be loyal to the generals, and more people are more willing to be loyal to the Duke of Tokugawa.

But that's right, Tokugawa must be the former general, and his power is already deeply entrenched. No matter how you look at it, he is more powerful there.

But the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and that old fox will not always gain power, as long as he pulls out the opponent's chess pieces one by one, and in this shogunate, it is not only the generals who want to overthrow the Duke, but also a bridge Pie etc.Maybe it can be used.

Zhiyi was sitting in the car, and the car was parked in front of a house, and she got out of the car.An assassin wearing a black ninja suit quietly emerged from the darkness, "Boss, I've been caught."

"Thank you, Kimura."

The man named Kimura walked up to Zhiyi, looked at the yard in front of him and sneered, "This is the residence of that guy's lover. This bastard corrupt official was hunted down by us, but he abandoned his wife and daughter and ran away to find his lover."

"Has all his subordinates been disposed of?"

Having worked together for eight years, Kimura also understood Zhiyi's cautious style of doing things, so he said: "Some escaped, they have already been hunted down by the lurking personnel of the nearby 'Hundred Ghosts', and there will be no fish that slip through the net."

Zhiyi nodded and went in with him.

The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night is killing people. Night is the time when ghosts and ghosts appear and kill.

This man named Kimura defected from Amaterasu-in Naraku back then, one of Naraku's three feathers, Yin, and now changed his name.

And those assassins who defected from Tianzhaoyuan joined the intelligence assassination organization "Hundred Ghosts" formed by Zhiyi.

"Hundred Ghosts" is an intelligence assassination organization established by Zhiyi for Tokugawa Shigeru. It is an intelligence network that belongs only to the general. "The word "hundred ghosts" in "Hundred Ghosts" is distributed in various organizations in Edo, forming an intelligence network.

In the past, Tokugawa did not have his own power, so he became a puppet, and "Hundred Ghosts" is the key to breaking the situation.

The leader of Hyakki is nominally Tokugawa Momo, but in fact it is the founder. Behind the scenes, the managers are all weavers. She promised to become the sword of the general, and Momo only needs to develop her ambition under the protection of the "sword". That's fine, and her job is to remove obstacles for the general, whether they are political enemies, heavenly beings, or other people with lofty ideals.

Another advantage of doing this is that even if she dies that day, the ghosts will not disperse, because the ghosts are hired by the general in name.Hundred ghosts will only obey the orders of her and the general. Even if she is gone, the hundred ghosts will continue to serve the general, and the general will help her take over the Xu who fell into a deep sleep according to the agreement with him, and help him find the transformation. common people's way.

At this point, she still believes in Tokugawa Momo's credit.

She walked in with Kimura, and in the yard, a middle-aged man who was once a high-ranking official was tied up and kneeling on the ground, beside him were also kneeling his lover and colleagues, and the members of Hyakki stood in an orderly manner, prevent them from making the last act of defiance.

Zhiyi stood in an elegant black kimono among these people but did not look obtrusive. Her frail beauty carried a cold and evil aura at night, like a banshee at night.

Seeing Zhiyi appear, the man kneeling on the ground crawled up in front of her, rubbing his bloodstained face flatteringly against Zhiyi's skirt, if he hadn't been helped, he would have pulled Zhiyi's skirt and begged loudly , "Miss Hayasaka! Please, please let me go! I don't want to do this! I am willing to serve the general! Please let me go!"

Kimura on the side clicked her tongue in distaste, but there was no disgust on Zhiyi's face, she just looked down at him, "I can't save you, you've got something you dare not touch."

This official colluded with Heaven and Man to sell the foreign drug "Reincarnation Village", which has now brought great harm to Edo and must be stopped no matter what.She used Hyakki's intelligence ability to investigate the intelligence, and the underworld and anti-barbarian patriots who were contaminated with the drug trade would be handed over to the police or the Shinsengumi, while Hyakki was responsible for eliminating high-ranking officials, so closely operated.

She stretched out a hand, and a subordinate held a wakizashi and put it in her hand.Zhiyi took a step back and threw the wakizashi in his hand in front of the official, "You can finish it yourself."

The official looked at the wakizashi and trembled all over, not daring to pick it up.

She asked her subordinates to cut the ropes of everyone present, and said: "The political arena is like a battlefield, and sometimes it is even more terrifying than a battlefield. Once you lose power, even your relatives and subordinates will be implicated. The nobles would choose seppuku, which is also an unwritten rule."

"If you dare to cut seppuku yourself, I will spare your subordinates and family members." There was no trace of emotion in her touching almond eyes.

"If you don't have the awareness to bear the knife of power, don't yearn for those unattainable desires and status."

The official was still afraid to pick up the knife and cut his stomach. In the end, the lover who regained the ability to move around him couldn't help it, picked up the knife and stabbed him in full view.

After the assassination, the woman who had been the official's lover begged Zhiyi to let them go, and the makeup on her beautiful face was weeping.

Zhiyi did as she promised and spared everyone's life.But it's not because of kindness, it's just to put a long line to catch big fish. After such stimulation, his subordinates will definitely go to the official's backer or other relevant people next time, and she only needs to be monitored to follow the vine Find more people.

After dealing with these, Zhi Yi had someone thoroughly search the house, and personally investigated the suspicious things.But a calligraphy and painting scroll found in the room caught her attention.

The calligraphy on it is very beautiful, and the content is unremarkable. It is just the word "Ping An", but this handwriting is very familiar to Zhi Yi.

"This word... Mr. Takasugi wrote it?" Finally she remembered.

"You mean, that extremist Takasugi Shinsuke?" Kimura on the side was also surprised.

Zhiyi looked at it for a while, and finally confirmed that this time it was indeed written by Takasugi.

Since the end of the anti-barbarian war, the former leaders of the four anti-barbarians have disappeared. Eight years have passed, and Katsura Kotaro often appears in the sight of the Shinsengumi, but this is the first time Zhiyi has received information about Takasugi. Jinsuke's status.

It is rumored that Takasugi Shinsuke is the most dangerous person with lofty ideals against barbarians. His power has penetrated into the upper echelons of the shogunate, and he is cooperating with some space pirates to plan to invade the shogunate.

Now it seems that things should be true, and she likes to place informants in various organizations to encourage others to betray, and Takasugi's power has also penetrated into the senior officials of the shogunate.This is very troublesome.

Zhiyi sighed, slowly rolled up the scroll carefully, and asked his subordinates to keep it properly.

In the past few months in the anti-barbarian army, the relationship between her and Gaoshan was actually quite good, they can be regarded as friends, and Zhiyi was actually very eager to tell him about Songyang, but she had made an appointment with Songyang, so there was no way to tell him. exit.Now that the positions are opposite, it is definitely more difficult to meet.

In order to make an agreement with Xu, Hayasaka Ori embarked on the road of officialdom, which may be the best stage for her, or it may be her inescapable fate.

Xu is the incarnation of Altana, his purpose is to end himself, and that is to destroy this planet.But now he has fallen into a deep sleep in the battle with Songyang. In order to realize his wish, Zhiyi must work hard to climb up and become one of the most powerful people in the country, and then use his power to gather talents to find out who can A way to change his physique.

His existence is a taboo, and he has been hidden all the time. If he is discovered by the Taoist people, the Taoist people will definitely rob him like crazy to study his eternal life power, and with the power of the current shogunate It is impossible to parry the attacks of the Heavenly Daoists.

Therefore, Zhiyi not only has to kick down his political opponents in the shogunate and climb up by himself, but also keeps the Heavenly Daoists at bay.

There are already enough enemies, but now it is a headache to add another Takasugi Shinsuke.

After finishing these things, Zhiyi went back to the car and rubbed her temples. Even she was a little tired. She said to Kimura: "Thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest. Just let someone send me back to the headquarters."

"Hayasaka, you should rest more. You are not in good health, and you work all night every day." After hesitating, Kimura still said.

"It's okay, I'm fine." These years, I often suffer from insomnia, and I'm alone at home, so it's always a bit uncomfortable, so let's continue working. "I suspect that the power of the anti-barbarians has penetrated into the upper echelons of the shogunate. I want to look through the report to see if I can find traces of the ghost soldiers."

-

Kimura couldn't persuade her, so he could only accept orders, "Be careful yourself."

"understood."

The car was thinking about starting the headquarters of Hyakki. In addition to investigating intelligence, there were also official documents from the shogunate. There were too many things to do.But this is also good, at least there will be no time to miss anyone.

Eight years passed before she knew it, but the time of weaving seemed to have stood still. What happened to her when she was in the barbarian army had a great impact on her, as if she had bid farewell to the army and said goodbye to the silver curly hair yesterday.

She looked out the window rubbing her temples and closing her eyes.Immersed in the officialdom for too long, it gradually became numb, and my hands were covered with blood, but I couldn't stop moving forward. Once I slacked off, I might be plotted against by my political opponents.He was originally a straightforward and clear person, but now he has learned to pretend, and his heart seems to be more and more riddled with holes.

She can't lose either, for the sake of the agreement with that person, to protect the important person.

Just as she was dozing off in the car, she heard a bang, and the car body shook violently.She opened her eyes and found that the driver escorting her had been killed by a bullet. Only then did she notice that there were vehicles gradually following up around her, and there was a killer with a sniper rifle in a vehicle that overtook her. He was probably the one who killed her. driver's.

"Is there really a killer?"

Without a trace of panic, she jumped up to the front row, pushed the driver's body aside, sat in the driver's seat, and then quickly steered the vehicle into a car that was overtaking her, knocking him out of the fence and into the river .

Since taking this position, she has been assassinated countless times, and she has long been used to it.

"Don't bother others when they are killing memories!! It's true!!" Zhiyi drove the car, and at a speed like the initial D, he slammed the cars that were chasing after him.

It's a pity that there were too many people coming this time. Just as one was knocked into the air, other pursuers also caught up.Weaving clothes to pass the news to his subordinates, while thinking about hiding for a while before talking, then turned and drove into the street.

In the process, she was shot twice by the sniper from the opposite car. She was insensitive to pain so it didn't affect her thinking, but the blood loss still had a serious impact on her.She could only quickly find a place to escape in a car, and put drugs in the car by the way.I escaped like in the street.

With constant pursuit behind her, she took advantage of the terrain to escape, but it was inevitable that she was stabbed twice. Although it was not a serious injury, the blood loss was more serious.

The injury became more and more serious, and at last she felt no pain, and the effects of exhaustion and excessive blood loss became more and more serious. Now she felt more and more cold all over, and she was about to be unable to walk.If this continues, he will surely die on the way.

At this time, she saw a very bright signboard in the distance, with the words Kabukicho written on it.Although it's almost midnight, Kabukicho is getting bustling and bright, even brighter than during the day.

After all, it's a famous nightclub street, and business starts late at night.

Zhiyi glanced at Kabukicho, which was extraordinarily bright in the dark neighborhood, and now he was hiding in a dark corner, forming a contrast with the bright place.

People are light-seeking animals, and no one wants to hide in a dark and cold corner all the time, especially now that the weaving clothes have lost too much blood and the whole body is cold, and the consciousness is beginning to be a little blurred. If they really want to die, no one wants to die in the dark In the corner of the corner.

Seeing those feasting lights, there is always a feeling that attracts her to go in. This is a very strange feeling. Zhi Yi laughed at herself, and waved away those strange thoughts in her mind, she told herself that she could not die yet.

She thought that the big hermit lived in the city, and Kabukicho was a famous gray area in Edo, where gangsters and villains gathered, but this was the best place to escape.

Looking at the red, green and green neon lights of Kabukicho, which looked very tacky but inexplicably friendly, she wondered if the reason why this place became a gray population gathering place was that the fugitive villains were the same as herself now, seeing those tacky neon lights , but the bright lights couldn't help chasing after them.

Knowing that there will be no redemption, at least if you die, you must die in a place with light.

Thinking of this, she clutched her wound and dragged her gradually blurred body, walking towards the colorful light with difficulty.
