[Gintama] Immortal

The capital of eternal night, Yoshihara.

The hustle and bustle of the brightly lit lights faded away, and the wandering girl with slightly messy temples stood in front of the Youkuo gate, reluctantly saying goodbye to the guests.

The melodious sound of silk and bamboo disappeared without knowing when, and when the last guest left, the lanterns of many pavilions on the street were extinguished one by one, and the quiet darkness was covered like a net, thickly covering the place ruled by the Night King Fengxian. world.

The lives of Yoshiwara women are extremely fixed. Except for eating, resting, and learning skills, after washing up in the morning, they have to sit in a birdcage-like cubicle to entertain guests.

Recently, strange stories have rarely been circulated among wandering girls in Yoshihara. The strange stories originated from a checkered girl in Wheel House, who claimed that she saw a monster in her dream.

This monster is cunning and cunning, and is good at transforming into the face of a human woman. He earnestly persuades her to surrender the ownership of her body for a period of time, and even offers extremely friendly terms, claiming that she will be redeemed from the prison—without repaying the debt. kind of.

How can there be such a good thing in the world.

When the girl said this, she always shook her head slightly with a mocking expression.

The little strange talk became popular for a while, but was soon overshadowed by the numb life.

After the candle was extinguished, it was so dark that you could not see your fingers.

The figure in the confinement room was leaning against the wall, his eyes closed as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"...Are you the monster they talked about?"

Yae stepped into the empty sea of ​​consciousness.

No color, no scene, no vivid memory, the young woman propped her cheek carelessly against the emptiness of the darkness.

"As a monster, you really look like a human."

The other party scanned her from head to toe, showing neither panic nor rejection of her unexpected guest who suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

Yae stood there in good condition, the black mist slowly swam around him, showing no sign of attacking.

She raised her hand: "Let me state first, I'm not the kind of monster you think."

"...It doesn't matter."

The woman shrugged her shoulders, her light brown pupils looked indifferent, as if covered by a layer of indissoluble fog.

There's no point in letting this conversation go on, so Yae cuts straight to the point:

"I'm here to make a deal with you."

She intends to elaborate further. As compensation for occupying the other party's body, she will redeem the other party's body and give the other party freedom for the rest of her life after the transaction is over.

But she just opened her mouth, and the woman on the opposite side nodded first:

"Yes, I agree."

"..."

Hey wait a minute, is it so refreshing?

The woman propped her chin, always showing that faint world-weary expression: "Don't you just want my body? Then take it."

"This disgusting life, please take it all away, don't give it back to me."

Yae: "..."

The wandering girl from before either screamed and pushed her out of the consciousness space directly because of her fright, or regarded her as a phantom created by her own insanity.

It was the first time she had seen such a quick response.

"I have no intention of taking your life away." Yae cleared his throat, "I just need to borrow your body for a while, and when I finish what I want to accomplish, I will return this body to you."

The woman on the opposite side raised her eyelids: "It's up to you, you can pay me back if you don't want to."

"...All right, that's it."

Yae turned around.

She didn't come to persuade people to drink chicken soup.

"I will come to carry out the transaction tomorrow, and you can go back on your word at that time."

Ten years ago, she tried to seize Tokugawa Sadasada. Although she failed at the last moment, she also confirmed the feasibility of this method.

She doesn't want to take other people's bodies, and the risk of doing so is high. In the past few days, she has been busy looking for candidates who don't want to live in Yoshihara, and unexpectedly found that there are many people who don't want to live, but are willing to give their bodies to unknown existence But not many.

The unknown and death are inseparable concepts for human beings, and now it seems that the unknown may sometimes be even better.

On the second day, Yae came as promised.

The other party still looked like he was not interested, and handed over all the ownership of his body without saying a word, and fell into a deep sleep in the dark and empty sea of ​​​​consciousness.

Yae has already greeted Takasugi, and then as long as Takasugi brings the ransom, and gets back "her" contract of sale from Boss Youkuo, she can walk out of Yoshiwara generously.

Changing from the clothes of a downstream girl, she put on an ordinary cotton vertical pattern kimono. She followed the boss You Kuo who led the way, stepped up the steps, walked through the brightly lit pavilions, and finally stopped in front of the most magnificent Tang Pofeng Entrance in Yoshihara. Step down.

"...Please wait a moment." Yazhong looked at Baihua who was guarding both sides of the gate, narrowing his eyes and showing a kind smile, "Did we go the wrong way?"

She compared to the direction behind her: "The elevator leading to the ground is over there."

The heavy door opened slowly with a creak, and Baihua, who was holding a long knife, approached her direction, the threat was self-evident.

Boss You Kuo stood respectfully by the door, bent down and signaled to the inside: "Master Fengxian is welcome."

Yoshihara is an extrajudicial place that the shogunate exists by default.

20 years ago, the original Yoshihara was destroyed by a fire, and the Celestial Being, who had taken a fancy to Yoshihara's huge profits, reached an agreement with the central government to transfer Yoshihara underground for reconstruction.

This is Taoyuan Township where political criminals are at large, and it is a forbidden place that the central government of the shogunate will not touch easily.

Therefore, she chose Yoshihara. Now it seems that she may have underestimated the extent of someone's eyeliner.

Yae stepped into the zashiki room on the top floor of the pavilion. An old man with broad shoulders and broad back was sitting on the upper seat, sipping wine in a glass leisurely, and the hairline combed back looked particularly sharp.

"That's really rare."

Already fully adapted to life on Earth, the former head of the Seventh Division of Chunyu wore a loose bathrobe and looked at her like a goshawk catching prey.

"That's really rare."

Yae very consciously found a seat and sat down, his eyes fell on the small table in front of Fengxian where the food and wine were placed.

"Doesn't the guest have a share?"

With a crisp sound, the white wine cup shattered and splashed on the alcove.The girl playing the shamisen shook slightly, put down the dial and got up silently, quietly and obediently exited the room and put on the partition.

As if nothing had happened before, the Night King, who was sitting on Yoshihara, raised his knees and put his hands on his knees leisurely.

"What are you? A parasitic species from another planet?"

Yoshihara's wandering girls would not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.

Yae replied sincerely: "No, I'm pretty sure I'm from Earth."

"Oh?" Yewang Fengxian squinted his eyes, just sat casually, but his momentum was like a thick mountain.

"What did you take from the Heavenly Daoists?"

Unexpectedly, the other party would be so direct, Yae slightly raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't take anything, that's the truth."

"I didn't take anything, so why did the Heavenly Daoists go to such lengths to affect this old man?" Fengxian sneered, and the terrifying aura around her suddenly turned violent: "Bold!"

Yae finds herself deserting.

——Similarly as the powerhouse standing at the top, which side will appear more fierce, Yewang Fengxian and Xu?

She thought for a moment, and came to a conclusion: ... No, no, no, the two of them are completely different types, completely different types.

The King of the Night, Phoenix Immortal and Domineering, gives people a sense of suffocation as if the mountains are crushing the top, but the emptiness is different.

Just like staring into the abyss of death, when facing the void, the fear of immobility will make people give up hope of survival.

Fengxian's coercion makes people submit, but what Xu Xu brings is despair.

Yazhong Ren's thoughts drifted away, and when she came back to her senses, the cold killing intent that filled the Japanese room seemed to be able to turn into reality.

"...It's really unpleasant." Fengxian stood up from the table, with shadows between her brows, "As a weak person, you should have the attitude of a weak person. What kind of eyes are you looking at? When did the old man allow you to raise your head? "

"... How many times do I have to repeat it," Yae sighed, "I didn't steal anything from the Heavenly Daoists. I'm also sorry for the troubles from the Heavenly Daoists."

According to the original plan, she would meet Takasugi on the ground.

Now that she has not been seen for a long time, Takasugi has probably sent someone into Yoshihara to inquire.

"You'd better be careful with your tone. Otherwise, even if the Heavenly Daoists want to live, the old man will not show mercy."

Yewang Fengxian said solemnly.

She originally planned to leave quietly without disturbing any forces.

Now that the plan has changed, she needs to let Gao Shan know that she doesn't want him to come.

Stay away - she has to get the message across.

The Tiandao people don't know that she can "resurrect the soul with a dead body", and they will not cast eyeliner in a place like Yoshihara.

The Heavenly Daoists mentioned by Fengxian can only be false.

"As a woman, as a weak person, your duty is to submit to the strong."

The night king Fengxian is condescending.

She needs to make trouble.The bigger the fuss, the better.

"……yes?"

Secretly tightening his muscles, Yae squinted his eyes, and smiled lightly:

"You crawled out of the belly of the weak."

She left her position almost instantly, put her palms on the ground, and flipped backwards very quickly, before her toes landed, Ye Wang Fengxian's next palm arrived with the bitter wind.

With a loud noise, the partition fan of the zashiki room flew out.Yafold Dangerously turned around to avoid it again, and punched her again in a blink of an eye, punching her in the face with the pressure of avalanches.

Yae dodged and dodged, the wall behind him was scrapped with a deafening sound, gravel and wood fell, and the huge gap exposed the metal night sky outside.

"Do you only know how to hide?" Yewang Fengxian laughed out loud, cold and insolent.

Yae twitched the corner of his mouth.

What a joke, as long as you get hit once, this body will be permanently useless.

With five fingers forming claws, Fengxian suddenly grabbed at her throat, she turned her head abruptly, clenched her teeth and bent her elbows to block.

When the opponent changed his attack, she turned around suddenly and kicked at the opponent's waist and abdomen. Before she kicked away, the opponent pinched her ankle bone and threw it out through the gap.

The wind whistled sharply, and Yafold fell on the tiles of the eaves and rolled several times. Once he stabilized his figure, the overwhelming coercion struck again.

With a bang, an earth-shattering punch punched through the eaves, and the shattered tiles fell into the darkness.

Yae broke back the dislocated bone of her ankle and stood on the edge of the eaves. There was no way out behind her. The whistling night wind blew up the hem of the kimono, the distant lights formed a blurred sea, and the metal sky pipes criss-crossed.

Ye Wang Fengxian walked towards her unhurriedly, their eyes stopped slightly in the air, Yae smiled, raised her head and took a step back, and fell from the eaves with Ye Feng in her arms.

The opponent did not catch up.

Yewang Fengxian is the king of Yoshiwara, he secretly colludes with the central government of the shogunate, but he hates others to dictate his territory.

She didn't want to be taken back, and the other party didn't want to do what the "Tian Dao Zhong" wanted.

Why should the "Tian Dao Zhong" arrest people if they want him to?

Wouldn't it be great to just fight and make a fuss like this, and accidentally let her slip away?

In the weightless darkness, the night wind screamed, and Yae turned around in the air. This pavilion has several eaves. She fell from one eave to another, and finally returned to the ground along the huge metal pipe.

The movement on the top floor of the pavilion seems to have happened in a parallel world, and the streets of Yoshiwara are still full of flowers.The guests in front of Youkuo Gate are constantly coming and going, the wandering girls behind the grid are busy trying to attract customers with a coquettish smile, and the high-drinking rogues are strolling on the street.

Yae chose a road with few people. This place faces away from the main road, and there are mostly tea houses and sweets shops on the side of the street.

She walked down the steps, and the ankle that she hastily put back was pained again after the mess she had made just now. This time it was probably a broken bone.

After going down the steps to the flat ground, the man with the bamboo hat lowered came to meet him.

She turned to the side, but she didn't move in time, and was bumped by the opponent's shoulder.

A strange feeling suddenly came to my mind, when the opponent made a move, Yae didn't even think about it, and almost raised his hand to fight back.

Using the bones, the tendons and the acupoints, several times of attacking, parrying, capturing and counter-capturing, Yae suddenly realized...

Oops, exposed, this is an ancient martial art.

As far as Yae knew, there were only a few people who were familiar with this technique in this day and age.

Among these few people is the thirteenth generation of Naraku of Amaterasu-in who is disguised in front of him.

The other party's cold fingers grabbed the acupuncture points on her forearm. She maintained the movement of grabbing the other party's left arm and turning the wrist. She was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth slightly:

"Ha... I advise you to let go now, really."

A deep voice came from under the bamboo hat, and he raised his eyes expressionlessly: "I'm sorry."

"...No, I really advise you to let go."

"..."

"Don't think that this is Huajie, I dare not shout."

The other party has changed his face, and he is definitely not performing any aboveboard task.

Having said that, does Ye Wang Fengxian know that Naraku is jumping around on Yoshihara's territory like this?

I didn't expect you to be so naive.

"I'll count to three, if you let go, I'll let you go, okay?"

Oboro looked at her silently, obviously not the same face, but let Yae see the familiar cold expression in a daze.

"...No, you will really regret it. If you don't let go, you will really regret it if I shout."

No one on Huajie would care about flirting with strange men and women?

Naive.

too naive.

There is a saying that it is in places like Huajie that the lethality will be multiplied.

Seeing that the other party did not intend to let go, Yae took a deep breath:

"...White prostitution ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

After a brief silence, all the people on the main road next door boiled.

The author has something to say:

Off-site standby and virtual, refreshed the sense of presence

He hasn't appeared in chapter 3 after all

This serious matter must be dealt with.
