Honmaru Chronicle

In the winter of the 4th year of Wenjiu, the weather was already quite cold, but even so, it still couldn't stop everyone from celebrating the upcoming Chinese New Year.When Fei Cun Jianxin was walking on the mountain road, he could already hear the children playing in the distance.

He smiled and lifted the medicine basket, and strode forward.

"Ah, Mr. Jianxin, you're back. It's great to meet you." A farmer with a hoe greeted him with a smile, "I've been feeling a little sick to my stomach since yesterday."

"Okay, I see. I'll make a medicine for you. Come and get it tomorrow." The red-haired man who used the pseudonym Feicunjianxin in this remote and small village said with a smile.

"Mr. Jianxin, are you going out to collect medicine today?"

"It's really hard work."

The other people on the side of the road greeted him with a smile, and Kenshin responded one by one with a smile, "Everyone, each other, be careful not to get hurt when working in the mountains."

The village is not big, and it didn't take long to come near the door of his house. Outside the small wooden house, a group of children were playing around a woman. The boys gestured to each other with branches, and the girls gathered together to shoot balls. Sing.

"you're back!"

"Welcome back."

A group of children surrounded Feicun Jianxin, and they expressed their happiness for his return in their own ways rather bluntly, which made Jianxin seem a little flustered for a while.

A teenager asked bluntly, "Where have you been?"

"I went to the mountains to gather medicine, didn't I have my sister to play with you?" The short man with red hair replied, touching his head helplessly.

"Well, but my sister is not very fun. She doesn't speak and has no expression. She looks like she is sleepwalking when she shoots the ball." A little girl couldn't help curling her lips and said.

Kenshin looked up helplessly, and saw his wife Yukidaiba standing there expressionless, patting the ball mechanically in his hand, he smiled wryly, and began to comfort the children.

At this moment, when he looked up, he saw a child standing under a tree beside him.

"Why..." He just started to realize something was wrong.

The black-haired boy was wearing Western clothes, a black top, black shorts, and black shoes that seemed to be called leather shoes. Unlike ordinary children, his expression was very stable, and he had no concern for the turbulent life. Uneasy, and no vision for the New Year.More importantly, there is a short knife pinned to his waist.

The boy on the opposite side noticed his gaze, and didn't answer him, but took a deep look at him, then turned and left.

Fei Cun Jianxin was about to catch up and ask for clarification, but behind him, his wife had already said, "It's very late today, you should go back."

"Okay." A group of children also knew that they should not run around in the mountains at night. After saying goodbye to Jian Xin honestly, they ran back.

"What are you looking at?" Xuedaiba tilted his head and asked Kenshin suspiciously.

"Under that tree just now..." Jian Xin said subconsciously.

"Under the tree?" The woman looked over suspiciously, apparently she hadn't noticed the situation there just now, "What happened under the tree?"

"No, it's nothing." Fei Cun Jianxin said subconsciously. He clenched his fist and decided to chase after him later to have a look. There must be something strange when he encountered such a thing in this remote rural village. Shinsaku Takasugi's uprising just happened in the middle of the month, and now he has met this kind of person who obviously has extraordinary background... Himura Kenshin did not dare to continue thinking, lest he would get an answer that would make him dread, he turned his head to look To the wife, "Today..."

"I'm sorry, I can't laugh." Xue Daiba apologized first, "Obviously I like children very much, but I just can't laugh, especially to these innocent children."

"Don't force yourself." Jian Xin comforted softly.

"It's you, who likes to smile a lot recently." Xue Daiba said with some doubts.

"Is it like this?" Jian Xin was stunned for a moment, he looked at his wife with an obvious smile on his face, and he looked at his wife, "To be honest, I grew up in a declining family with no meals to eat. , and later lost all his family members and was displaced. He started to learn Flying Swordsmanship since he was ten years old, and later became a shadow killer in Changzhou... Although I firmly believe that my sword is to fight for everyone's happiness and create a new But to be honest, I didn’t know what the so-called happiness of everyone was. Why did I fight? Will I continue to fight in the future? These questions once made me very confused.”

The smile on Jian Xin's face became more and more gentle. He looked at his wife, stepped forward and gently hugged her into his arms, "But these five months of pastoral life have told me the answer."

Yuki Daiba hugged this young man who couldn't even be called a man, with a gentle smile on his face that he didn't realize.

"How's the situation?" On the other side, Izumi Mori Kanesada asked Yaken Toshiro who came back from the investigation.

"It's still the same as before." Yaken Toshiro sighed, "We don't have much time left. There are three days left, and after three days, the nightmare will come again."

"We have to find a way to break through this time." Ning Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, holding Foxnosuke who was obviously abnormal in his hands, Foxosuke stayed motionless on his lap, as if he was dead , "This is already the sixth time. If this continues, the power of Nightmare will only become stronger and stronger. Even if Nightmare can provide us with training speed, we will not be able to hold on at the speed at which Nightmare becomes stronger."

"That's right, especially the general. You are different from us. Your soul is here, but your body is still outside. Even if there are five tigers retreating, they will take care of your body. If you don't have enough nutrients, your body will It will become weaker and weaker." Yaken Toshiro said, frowning.

Ning Mo was much calmer, "So we must break through the dream here, let's sort out the information again."

"Yes." In the room, Izumi Mori Kanesada and California Kiyomitsu sat down together.

"The first is the owner of the dream, the famous executioner Himura Kenshin at the end of the Tokugawa period." California Qingguang took the lead to say, "In the past, Okita-kun and Captain Saito had met him, but in the end only Captain Saito fought against each other .”

"The second is the current time. When we landed in this place, it was originally expected to be December 12rd, but in fact it landed on December 3th." Izumi Mori Kanesada also snapped his fingers, "The middle is inexplicably 12 days skipped."

According to that coordinate, Ning Mo and his group shuttled through the space-time tunnel that could be broken at any time, and finally arrived at Fukaura Town, Aomori Prefecture in December 4, Bunjiu. , but it was not December 12rd as expected at the beginning, but December 12th at the end of the year. The time deviation deviated by more than half a month in one breath.

What's worse, they couldn't get in touch with Honmaru.

This is very deadly.

If time is likened to a river, then Honmaru is the house on the bank of the river, and sword men or even god judges going to the past time node is equivalent to throwing things into the river.If you want to ensure that you can get the thing back intact, you must have a rope tied to the thing, and this rope is the connection with Honmaru.

Once this connection is severed, the sword man who returned to the past will be washed away by the river called history.

This is even more so for those who judge the gods. If even if the old men with swords and swords go back to the past, they can support them for a longer time because of the facts that existed at that time, then the gods who did not exist in the past Once the link is severed, the examiner himself disappears due to the simple fact that it is incompatible with the time at that time.

Even if the time government has taken a lot of protective measures, once the god judge goes to a certain past time node and disconnects from Honmaru, the time protection on him can only protect him for 12 hours. If Honmaru cannot be contacted within 12 hours, the god-inspector will be taken away by the torrent of time in an instant and disappear completely.
