Willow Springs
Before she could figure out what she meant, she felt the warm current in her body reced, like the tide receding, almost instantaneously
She let out an exclamation, no longer able to control the cannonball that was supposed to fly towards the trench in front of the Nyorai Hall, and watched as it followed its original flight trajectory, drew a parabola and fell, smashing a large crater in the ground with a bang, flying sand and rocks, and the flames rose
Willow Springs
No, Saito and Mikazuki are close to the two of them, and they haven't completely gotten out of the bombing range of that shell
She was terrified for a moment, and without thinking, she stepped forward and rushed towards the place where the black smoke was rising.
The closer she got to the black smoke and fire, the more she felt the flying sand and rocks smash into her face, stinging in her face. Nearby plants were also affected by the blast's shockwave, making a clanging sound, breaking branches and flying in all directions. The choking light of fire and smoke filled her lungs, burning her skin.
"Hey, Yijun and three days and moon," she heard herself cry out hoarsely. For a moment, intense anxiety and powerless anguish struck her, leaving her blank to the point where she was, oblivious to the threat of bullets from the new government forces behind her, lonely and crying.
So why did she come here, why did she be willing to obey the laws of the hell, if she didn't have spiritual power, she would just go and be like everyone, wouldn't it be fine, anyway, just sleeping, compared to life and death, it doesn't matter at all, isn't it
Then, she sighed in her mind when she heard the system bacteria that hadn't actually dived yet.
It's really stubborn. It said coldly.
Thanks to you, Saito Ichi, who should have been seriously injured a long time ago, is still jumping around. If not, how can you defend history, do you want to protect him until dawn, and then stab him ten times yourself?
Willow Springs
The system bacteria sneered twice.
Do you think I'm the kind of guy who likes to force my subordinates to do the bad things they get yellow carded for? At the end of the day, it's best if you want to use your superpowers at the right time and don't want to be yellow carded.
Willow Springs
However, the system bacteria didn't say a word again, and just ignored her.
Liu Quan was stunned, looked around, and realized that the Fu Fu God Ichijo, Hotaru Maru, Polarized Plain, and Polarized Hakata had all disappeared from the battlefield at this moment
Willow Springs
What the hell is going on, she didn't force those swords to fight just now, so it can't be a broken knife, right?
However, now in this vast land, there is choking gunsmoke, the earth is upturned, the trees are broken, the houses are broken, the trenches are collapsed, the sky is shrouded in the deepest darkness before dawn, only the sky reveals a ray of dawn, but it has not yet shone to the place where she is for a while, this battlefield like hell on earth, but there is a dead silence, as if in the torrent of time, she is the only one left, still standing here, forgotten, abandoned, wandering in the infinite eternity of time, nowhere to go
Just as she was in a moment of confusion, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Ahem, hahahahaha, isn't it time to laugh. ”
Liu Quan turned sharply
Sure enough, on the battlefield filled with black smoke, it was the Three Days Moon Sect that slowly came out of the smoke.
This time he looked much worse than before, and his suit was covered in dirt and suspicious dark marks, and there was even a scratch on his cheek, and the sleeve was missing, revealing the full appearance of the long black gloves he was wearing underneath. The bare arms were covered in vertical and horizontal scratches, and the hair was a little messy
Importantly, he even held someone up
He put one of the man's arms on his shoulders and walked slowly with him, but the man looked badly wounded, with what appeared to be a trail of blood on his drooping right arm, dripping down his drooping arm to his fingertips and from his fingertips to the ground.
Liu Quan was stunned for a second, and some kind of realization suddenly jumped into her mind, and it slammed down like a sledgehammer and violently hammered her brain.
It's Mikazuki Sokon, and the person he is holding on to is undoubtedly Saito, and they are all still alive, because if Saito died, Mikazuki Sokin wouldn't have walked with him like a big living person, and would only come back and report to her "It's a pity"
A stream of heat rushed into her eyes. Liu Quan felt his nose sour, and tears rushed out of his eyes as if he was completely out of his control.
"Three days and moons," she shouted, moving her feet and daring towards them, no longer bothering to hide the cry in her voice.
"Great, you're all alive, I thought I thought"
The words "I killed me because of my mistakes" choked in my throat and I couldn't say anything.
Although it sounds like the meaning of the system just now, it means that it felt her rejection of "Bedtime" and made another arrangement, probably to give her an extremely limited superpower in exchange for the permission of her spiritual power, so as to avoid her going back to "Bedtime" to make up for the premature use of spiritual power, and at the last moment, she withdrew her superpowers, leaving Saito Ichi as seriously injured as in history, but this suicidal play is too risky, completely cold-blooded as if she doesn't care about the lives of others, so now her heart is full of guilt.
Mikazuki stood still, waiting for her to run over, and when she finally ran in front of him, he browned his eyebrows.
"Notice I'm hurt. Ah, what a pleasure. ”
Liu Quan stood in front of him, looking up at his handsome face. There were now many tiny bloodstains, scratches, and smudges on the black smoke on that face, but in any case, the imperfections did not detract from his handsomeness, and now he bowed his head slightly, and the eyes containing the crescent moon fell on her face, and the crescent moon in the pupils seemed to shine with her unreserved emotional outpouring.
Then, with his other free hand, he dug into the pocket of his coat, felt for something, put it in his palm, and stretched it out in front of her.
Willow Springs
It was the one she gave him before she went out.
Now the woven bag containing the omamori had completely cracked, and the small note inside had been burned off a corner by the fire
"Ah, thanks to it, I'll be safe in that kind of fire, hahaha. Sanri Yuezong looked at her with a look of surprise on her face, and said with a smile as if nothing happened.
Willow Springs' head jerked back up to stare at his face.
Three Days Moon Sect blinked.
"Your expression is a little scary, Yukiba-kun," he commented gently in a leisurely tone.
Willow Springs
She subconsciously looked at Saito's expression as if she were conditioned. Sanri Moon Sect noticed her action and laughed softly.
"Hehe, are you worried that this name will be heard by Saito-kun, don't worry, he seems to have fainted. ”
Willow Springs""
Ah, what the hell is going on with this old man
A minute ago she was excited and surprised, and she couldn't wait to rush up to him and hug him recklessly, as if she couldn't express exactly how she felt when she saw him alive without doing so, but at this minute she wanted to cover his mouth, and block back his demonic laughter with a hidden voice that was so sharp that people couldn't speak
However, when her gaze fell on the shattered Imperial Pole in his palm, her anger suddenly disappeared as if ice and snow had melted.
Finally, she let out a long sigh of frustration, and said in a helpless tone, "Next time, you can't take such a risk." ”
Three days and moon sect near "oh"
A hint of interest rose in his tone. Liu Quan pretended not to hear.
"As a God Inquisitor, of course I don't want to see you shattered. She lowered her voice and said quickly, and then, trying to avoid looking at Mikazuki Mune's expression, she quickly lowered her head and walked to Saito's side, bending down to examine his injuries.
When she saw this, she was slightly stunned.
Sure enough, it hurt very badly.
When he had been flying in the trench to cover her, he had been hit by a fragment of a cannonball or a flying stone in the right corner of his forehead, and had a concussion, perhaps a concussion, for the possibility could not be ruled out based on his sluggish reaction when he woke up.
Now he looked worse than before, his right hand was completely down, maybe it was because of the injury or the loss of consciousness, the arm that had made his opponent cold when he swung the knife, with a thin layer of muscles attached to it, and the graceful lines were now soft to the touch, and there was no strength at all. And, blood from nowhere, snaked down his arm, dropping from his fingertips to the ground.
His drooping face was covered in blood, almost staining the face that had little resemblance to the little one she remembered, but looked just as trusting and inexplicably reassuring. Liu Quan had to reach under his nose to barely feel his long, slow breathing.
His uniform was almost ragged, full of scratches and holes. In general, he had fought her in the streets of Kyoto with such vigor and violation, and at one time suppressed her that she could not breathe, but now he described her so violently that she did not know it
Liu Quan's nose was sour, and he quickly suppressed the expression of that emotion.
Now is not the time to be sentimental. Sooner or later, the new government forces will attack, and although the Shinsengumi have not been killed in the past, they must have almost lost their combat effectiveness at this moment
And Saito Ichi.
Such a Saito Ichi, she must take him back to Aizu Castle. Otherwise, he would have died here as he had wished to march back in time.
