With that cold ultimatum, killing intent permeated his eyes. But the first to break this heavy, terrifying, almost suffocating atmosphere was the sound of a cold gunshot out of nowhere.

"Bang!"

In the next second, Liu Quan's body shook suddenly.

She didn't have time to react, her body took the impact of a bullet, and she staggered to her feet.

She jerked her head to the spot where her body was stinging—her left shoulder.

Dark wet marks gradually oozed from the fabric there, and an ominous dark mark gradually spread nearby.

Yanagizumi gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his head again and stared at Toshiaki Kirino in front of him. Her hair, which had long since turned black back, had turned snow-white again.

...... But this time, the dark red blood mark on the left shoulder was still slowly expanding, and it did not stop expanding.

Liu Quan: !?

The expression on her face finally faltered, and she suddenly turned her head back to look down at the wound that was getting more and more painful, and her right hand with the knife trembled uncontrollably because of the sharp pain that gradually became clear and unbearable, and it was almost difficult to hold the knife in her hand.

She spoke, and as soon as she uttered a syllable, she realized that her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

“...... You're you, on the bullet—"

Toshiaki Kirino suddenly rolled his lips and smiled smugly.

"That's right. After seeing that the wound on Liu Quan's shoulder could not be healed, he suddenly changed to a smug attitude, and said complacently, almost as if he was about to whistle: "The ambush was arranged by me." The silver bullet that Rakshasa is really afraid of, I also arranged it~"

With a relaxed smile between his eyebrows, he looked down condescendingly at her biting her lower lip and enduring the pain, and continued in a tone akin to singing:

“...... You see, I'm actually really ready for this mission~ Even the information that I got by chance, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false, 'Maybe there are still inhuman rakshasas in the world', I am also ready to deal with them with silver bullets...... It's just that I can still snipe you, which is an unexpected joy~"

Liu Quan's jaw tightened, and the stiff lines almost appeared on the side of her cheeks - as if only by doing so could she temporarily overcome the pain of the flesh on her left shoulder being broken, she even breathed a lot heavier, and the calm look she had just now was gone.

Toshiaki Kirino looked at her with a look of pity.

"It's pathetic...... he said, "it hurts so much, isn't it?...... It's okay, when you're dead, I'll find your lover who shouldn't be alive, Hijikata Toshizo, and send him to accompany you. After all, a dead man should be a little like a dead man, honestly accept his fate, and go through this life in an upright manner according to the fate destined in history? As for the future that he once hoped for and dreamed of, it would be good for us to take a good look at it for him——"

Liu Quan's teeth were clenched, and he didn't know if it was because of the unbearable pain or because of the great anger.

"No—" She finally squeezed a word out between her teeth.

"The principles you keep saying must be right, and are they necessarily better for the world?"

"If the world is about to collapse, then what are you defending history for?!"

"Without the existence of the 'world', 'history' is nothing more than illusory stories and rumors......

"This world is Mr. Hijikata's world—"

“...... Stop being self-righteous!!"

The moment her almost hoarse shout fell, Kirino Toshiaki's facial features were already distorted. His face was hideous, as if he had been struck by some word or something, and he showed an annoyed and angry expression, and shouted, "...... What are you doing in a daze?!Shoot, shoot, shoot——!"

Liu Quan's whole body tensed uncontrollably for a moment.

Even if she has the bonus of "Rakshasa Constitution", in the final analysis, she is also flesh and blood, and it is impossible for her to repeatedly resist silver bullets that can kill Rakshasa and neutralize Rakshasa's recovery power.

...... However, no new gunfire rang out on the mountain road filled with gunsmoke.

Toshiaki Kirino straightened up suddenly, looking around. He looked alert, as if sensing something was wrong, and his gaze finally rested on a spot that was the corner of a wooded hill wall, which happened to be the perfect sniper position for their current position.

When he rushed over, what about the people who were arranged there?!That guy's marksmanship is famous, and it took a lot of effort to take that guy with him in today's scuffle, ready to snipe the female inquisitor he has identified as a fallen goddess - after all, he doesn't know what unknown and life-saving unscientific tricks that the female inquisitor has, and just in case, he arranged an ambush next to him, so that he could wait for the opportunity to secretly snipe her when he was trying to divert her attention- But now, why is his brilliant secret trick gone?!

The next moment he got the answer to that question.

A man came out from behind the corner of the mountain wall, holding a knife in his right hand and a foot/gun in his left. The man strode towards them, and the closer he got, the more they could see his face—

Even if it was stained with gunsmoke, dust, and blood, the facial features on that face could still be called very handsome. The vague sense of age just adds a bit of mature charm to that face. Although he was not wearing a high-ranking officer's uniform, the aura emanating from his body swept across the battlefield in an instant.

His brow furrowed as he took a few steps before he reached them. He stood still behind the fallen female inquisitor, his face grim as he surveyed Toshiaki Kirino. After a moment, he spoke.

"You're looking for me. Then don't embarrass her!"

Kirino Toshiaki was stunned for a moment, then quickly twisted his lips again and laughed mockingly.

"Oh?" he asked playfully, "do you think she's so innocent and innocent? Just look at her now! You can't call her a 'human' anymore...... Isn't this an inhuman monster?!"

The side of the man's cheeks suddenly tightened, and the corners of his forehead showed faint green tendons. His voice deepened, clearly trying to suppress the anger that was rolling in his heart.

“...... I am the leader of the Wolves of Imbu. In our place, there has never been any normal human being since the beginning!"

Willow Springs: !!

This line is so familiar! This is obviously the handsome line that the deputy chief brushed up on that night many years ago, when Kazama attacked Nishi Honganji Temple at night and revealed the secret that Chizuru was actually a ghost clan!

However, the lines spoken at that time to defend Chizuru became the words to defend her in the here and now. The sparkle she had experienced at that moment had finally shrouded her—and not any other woman.

Although it was a critical moment when his identity was revealed, perhaps the biggest secret of the existence of this world was also revealed, and he was about to be crusaded as a fallen God Inquisitor, Liu Quan couldn't help but ease his expression, pursed his lips, and smiled.
