sleeping formula

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Even though he fired the shot himself, he should calmly be awakened by the impact, but Hijikata stood up like he was in a nightmare.

"Mr. Hijikata? Mr. Hijikata?" Kagura grabbed Hijikata tightly, "Are you okay? Take a deep breath!"

But then, Hijikata, who was still gasping for breath, pushed Kagura away, tore off the connecting cable on his body, and started to grab his things and quickly pack them up.Hijikata quickly took out a few tickets from his pocket and handed them to Shinpachi.

"I'll get off at Yokohama Station later, and the rest of you will take care of Yinshi and go back to Tokyo for me."

"Wait a minute, Hijikata-san." Sougo frowned unhappily, "We're already a few cars away from President Nishino's carriage, and he won't check each carriage one by one!"

"This has nothing to do with President Nishino, I am──"

what is itEarthwork's mind went blank for a moment.Although there was no agreement that he could not say what he would do next, but Hijikata had a strong intuition telling himself that this was something he should do alone.

"In short, after returning to Tokyo, go directly to the office and ask Gintoki to type out the report and hand it over to Team Leader Kondo, who will transfer it to the investigation department for further investigation." Hijikata said, "I'll go and be back soon."

A light flashed in Sougo's head.

"Yokohama...do you want to go to Yabei Bay by yourself!"

Damn it!Why didn't you react just now?Shouldn't we rush out to stop that bastard thing! When Sougo got up to stop Hijikata from leaving, he was knocked away by a heavy force and nearly fell.Then he saw Yin Shi who rushed out with him.

"Silver sauce!" "Danna!" "Mr. Yinshi!"

The three of them stared at the already sober Yin Shi with their eyes wide open, as if they thought they had seen something wrong.

"What happened during the period when they were so sleepy!"

But no one was able to confirm what happened. Only the two who rushed out one after the other knew the truth.

"Earth!"

Just when Hijikata got off the platform of Yokohama Station, Gintoki stopped him from behind and turned his head reflexively, but Gintoki grabbed his wrist and refused to let go.

"What are you doing?" Hijikata yelled, "There is not much time left now, let me figure out the situation!"

"The one who needs to find out the situation is you, Hijikata!" Gintoki also roared in response, "The place you are going to is not other places, but Hashida's "Babei Bay"!"

"Let go!" Hijikata's wrist gradually showed strangle marks under the constant struggle, "Because it is Babei Bay, I can't let two people risk death at the same time, I must leave one person to explain Hashida's situation to the investigation department clearly. !"

"You fucking don't make fun of me with your own life!"

Tufang stared blankly at Yinshi's outburst of anger again, forgetting the strength of his resistance and what he seemed to refute.

"So what if the report can't be handed over to the investigation department? Our mission is to 'find clues to the insider trading of Hidehiro Securities'. Even if they hand it over to Kagura, they can still complete it, can't they?" Gintoki said, "Why did Hashida take Hidehiro Securities insider trading as a shield into the dream science industry is the answer the two of us are looking for. But if one of us dies, is there any point in knowing the answer?"

──The pursuit of answers from the beginning to the present, without you or me, is there any meaning?

Hijikata gently closed his eyes.This is not a question of giving in or not—maybe he should think again: Even if he doesn't really "love" him, can he trust Sakata Gintoki wholeheartedly?

If the answer is yes, then what is he struggling with at this juncture?

"Since you said so, time is running out, let's go now." Tufang stabilized his voice, "Don't hold me back."

Yin Shi laughed when he heard that.

"Don't hold back, Mayonnaise." "After that, you have to treat me to a meal."

"Okay, the best mayonnaise bowl restaurant in the world."

"Let me forgive that."

After the two left Yokohama Station, they hailed a taxi and went straight to Babei Bay.It was midnight when we arrived, and the nearby street lights were either off, flickering orange, or dimly on.Luckily, he had the foresight to hide a pistol and a flashlight in his bag before boarding the train.

"Hold it." When Tufang handed the flashlight to Yin, "I guess you didn't hold a real gun."

When I actually went to the scene, I found that the place was still desolate. At first glance, it looked the same as what I saw on the news seven years ago, and nothing had changed.But whether it is Tufang who came here to pay homage to Yinba many years ago, or Yinba when he set foot on the territory of Babei Bay for the first time, he knows that this place is not the same as before.The two cautiously moved forward against the edge of the container, and the surrounding was dark and quiet. He had to take his steps lightly so that he could safely approach the destination without being noticed by the security personnel on the side.

There was a building in front of him that looked a little newer than the surrounding area, but it deliberately covered up its appearance with gray paint and many colorful graffiti. Hijikata immediately determined that the building was the new Hashida Biotechnology Experimental Center.One of the windows was lit with a hazy yellow light, and Sasuke signaled Yinshi to move forward with that light as his goal.

When I got closer, I found a black Toyota car parked in front of the experimental center, and two people were talking beside the car.Also because the neighborhood is quite quiet, only the sound of the car engine, as long as they are not too far away, they can hear their conversation, and as long as they can still hear their conversation, it is considered to be in time.

"Slow down, Yueyong." The silver-haired man said, "The road conditions are bad at night, so look around carefully."

"It's better for you to rest earlier, Professor." The woman called Yue Yong laughed, "The cold and cough have been dragging on for so long, and there is no sign of improvement."

The silver-haired man didn't say much, waved his hand to send the woman away, and then turned back to the experiment center, but the moment the door closed, he stopped walking and moving.

"Although I don't know how the two of you got in, I haven't been spotted by the guards yet." The silver-haired man said, "But since we've all come here, we don't need to waste our efforts to hide. There is no one else here except me."

The sound of the bullet being loaded followed, and a crisp "click" sounded like the bell sounding the duel.

"Sakata Ginpachi, this time, I will definitely let you explain all this honestly," Hijikata's cold voice sounded from the back of the man's head, "whether it was the car accident ten years ago, or the gun that happened here seven years ago The case, and what you have done──Give me everything here today, and I will be clear on my behalf!"

The man who was pointed at by the gun smiled slightly, and said, "Come on, now that you've found everything here, let's take a look at what you most want to know."

Hijikata and Yinshi looked at each other, and looked around vigilantly, feeling something strange in their hearts, but they couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was.

Yinba led them through the long corridor to the second floor, and Tufang was surprised that a lot of large wooden furniture had been purchased in this experimental center.Until I got to Yinba's office, I saw a lot of materials scattered on the ground, the chaos seemed unorganized.

Tufang casually picked up the materials at his feet, all of which were reports and materials on the latest developments in dream science, as well as new drugs and new technologies.Browsing through the intertwined and complicated formulas above, the earthworker found one thing in one of the most critical reports.

"Ginpachi, what's going on?"

If you take a computer as an example, if you interpret the content of the report, it is like writing a wireless loop program to make the computer run at high speed until the computer burns to a piece of scrap iron.How could such a report from the Arabian Nights be a proof of the great leap forward of dreamland technology, as the Qiaotian Group said?

"That's what I've been doing for the past seven years." Ginpachi said flatly, "If the most critical technology in dream science is locked, everyone can only stagnate on the projects that have already been developed, and it is difficult to make progress .”

Ginba smoked a cigarette without haste, exhaled lightly, but coughed a lot.Yinshi noticed that Yinba habitually wiped his lips hard with the back of his right hand, and he seemed to see bright red blood with sharp eyes.

"By the way, I thought you guys were going to ask after you came in and walked around, but I didn't expect you didn't mention a word." Ginpachi said, his hands still in his pockets, "Leaving aside the experimental center, I don't think this place is like Is it a large furniture fair?"

"Don't play around with me, Ginpachi," Hijikata tried to maintain his composure, "You can't escape even if you struggle."

"Who said 'flee,' Fourteen?"

It was that gentle, nightmare-like voice again.

"I just regret that I didn't pay more attention to it, and dragged two more funeral objects."

Yinshi noticed something was wrong, managed to pull down the gun of the earthwork, and ran together with the earthwork.But everything went wrong somewhere. When Gintoki was about to snatch Hijikata's gun, Hijikata pulled the trigger, causing the shot to go in the wrong direction and hit Ginpachi's right chest.Unbelievably, Ginpachi followed the impact of the bullet and fell backwards into the pendulum at the rear, accompanied by the sound of glass shattering.

In the end, none of them expected things to turn out this way.

At first it was just a few "buzzing" sounds from far away, until the sound got closer and louder, accompanied by the continuous shaking of the ground, they suddenly realized that this was not an ordinary earthquake - Yinba was just an earthquake from the beginning to the end. To trap them here, let the whole laboratory fall into the explosion and flames with him.

"Silver Eight!"

Gintoki looked at Hijikata and was almost too stunned to move.Contrary to the direction in which Gintoki grabbed him, Hijikata rushed to Ginpachi and hugged him, even though the sound of the explosion was so close that it seemed like a few feet away.

"Bastard Ginpachi, how could you do this!"

Hijikata could no longer swallow his anger, and his voice collapsed in front of Ginpachi.

"... Hijikata, please... please leave here with Gintoki."

Ginpachi's voice was intermittent, and his severe cough even made the pain in the bullet point clearer, causing him to frown.

"No, don't talk, Gintoki and I will get you out." Hijikata panicked and forced himself to calm down, "Wake up, Sakata Ginpachi!"

"...don't, don't save me, my time...is...not much." Ginpachi gasped, "You and Gintoki...you still have a future...please...please don't because of me His selfishness...destroys...."

"Stop talking!" Hijikata's voice was mixed with desperate cries, "I won't let you say any more!"

"Always...never...well...let me tell you..."

Ginpachi raised his hand and caressed Hijikata's cheek, this time the gentleness was finally real, no longer meaningless.

"...Thank you...for loving me so wholeheartedly...."

"Stop! I told you not to talk! I don't want to listen now! Let's go out and talk about it! I told you to go out and talk about it later!"

"Me too-"

"Hijikata," Gintoki kept looking around, "take this guy away, we don't have time──"

Because time always waits for no one, including the seven years that flew by in the blink of an eye, including those once, and naturally including the tongue of fire that looks like Satan's smile.Gintoki and Hijikata watched in amazement at the flames that shot up everywhere and blocked the entrance and exit. It seemed that the only way to be rescued was to break open the window glass and jump out.

"Hijikata, break the window glass and jump out first, and call someone for help as soon as you get out." Gintoki said, hooking Ginpachi's hand on himself, "After you hit it out, I will take this guy with you Let's jump together. When you call, I will do some emergency first aid."

Hijikata nodded vigorously while looking at Gin.Get up and prepare your posture, protect your head, and sprint, the glass "frame" shatters in the night sky along with the force of the impact of Earthwork's body, shining like twinkling stars.

Although Tufang tried not to hurt himself too much, the direction of the fall still caused him to hit the ground hard, and his head, which was already tired from running around all day, became dizzy uncontrollably.He tried to get up, hooked Ginpachi's arm while looking at Gintomo, and when he was about to jump out of the window, the last wave of explosions struck.

Ginpachi and Gintoki seemed to be thrown out of garbage by the sound of an explosion. They were thrown into the air in a not-so-beautiful arc, and the place where they landed was quite a distance from the earthwork. Ginpachi didn’t have time to protect himself and Ginpachi, and his head fell first. on hard rough floors.

"...Silver...Silver Time..."

Hijikata reached out to reach the brothers, but the distance was too far away, he could only watch the bright red blood spread to the ground along Gintoki's hair, and the blood that kept gushing out of Ginba finally merged together.

"...Silver...Silver Time..."

If this is a dream, then Hijikata will wake up, and then he will find himself lying in a certain place intact, maybe if he is lucky, someone will accompany him, and he may say to him in an impatient tone, " You're finally awake."

If this is really a dream.
