772 768 [Return Chapter IV] • 193

After the first unit assembled, they were in a golden light as the Female Inquisitor pressed the teleport button

Landing on a field with gloomy skies.

I don't know how the teleportation array works, but anyway, every time you teleport, the landing site should be near the mission destination.

Liu Quan secretly wondered, could it be that around the place where he landed this time, the whereabouts of Shen Wuyin could also be found

As she thought, Hirano had made the most of his extremely short maneuverability, patrolled around the area, and came back to report.

"The master seems to be not far from the shore, and the smell of sea water in the air is downhill from that side, and if you pass through this wood, you can see a fortress battery in the distance."

Liu Quan turned his head sharply to stare at the young boy Hirano.

"Battery Fortress"

The young boy Hirano was startled by her burning gaze, and quickly nodded vigorously.

"Yes" He seemed a little confused, as if he was a little puzzled by her overreaction, but still replied aloud, "It's the fortress, but I don't know if anyone is moving up there yet"

Liu Quan slowly curled the corners of his lips.

"Yes. ”

Hirano "Eh"

The earnest little boy stared at his master with wide eyes and a look of surprise on his face.

Liu Quan nodded slowly, as if to emphasize his affirmative answer.

"It's a hexagonal fortress, why don't you get closer?" she whispered with a wry smile.

Izumi Mamoru was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned pale.

"Bentendaiba," he shouted, as he looked awake.

"Over there is the hexagonal fortress of Bentendaiba, and there is a fort on it, and near this is Umizaka."

Ah, speaking of which, it's a gentle slope indeed.

Because Uomi Saka is very close to the sea to the west, it is said that if you stand here and look at the sea, you can see the fish in the sea, so it is named Uomi Saka.

The cape over there is Cape Benten. The fortress fort built in the third year of Bunkyu is the last place of the Shinsengumi of Bentendaiba.

Liu Quan took a deep breath.

No way. Don't act rashly.

She knew that she wanted to rush to Bentendaiba at this moment to see what was going on, just like Kane-san. See if the new government forces have surrounded Bentendaiba, and see how the Shinsengumi who are defending Bentendaiba are fighting, however, she clearly knows that her first purpose in coming here is to hunt down the escaped God Inquisitor Kanno Rinne.

She scowled, lowering her voice. Because some kind of passionate emotion was suppressed in her throat, she always felt that her voice sounded hoarse and unreal.

"At the moment, the most important thing is to find the trace of Kanna's voice. She said, trying to make her tone sound calm and rational.

"Since you landed here, it means that Kanno Rinne may also be nearby. Her current situation is unknown, and it is unknown whether she will act alone or not, and if she has taken refuge in some kind of force, it will be even more difficult. ”

She tries to calm herself down, to concentrate on the question of "the whereabouts of Kanno Rinne", and try not to be distracted by the proposition of "the fate of the Shinsengumi", which is already doomed.

"More than half a year has passed since the last Battle of Aizu. During this period, from my personal point of view, I don't think that Kanna-rin would be transferred from Aizu to Hakodate alone. ”

"Because if you want to go into hiding, going south is the right choice. However, I was instructed that Kanna Rinne was here, and that I didn't believe the idea that there was no conspiracy behind her choice in Hakodate. ”

The more Liu Quan spoke, the calmer his mood became, and when he said this, his heart was almost cold and clear.

Sure enough, turning a thousand things into words can help you organize your thoughts.

"Kanna's intention was to come here for one of two reasons, and he was instructed by the enemy to do the same thing about the Battle of Hakodate in 1869, whether it was a time-retracing march or a new government army. ”

Her voice had now become steady and clear, echoing across the fields at dawn.

"Or, secondly, she still wants revenge on me. Because I can't never go out of Hakodate, once I get here, she has a chance to continue fighting me. ”

As soon as this inference was spoken, the mourning gods who followed her to Hakodate had different expressions.

The Three Days Moon Sect was almost silent. A look of surprise on his face. Nagaso Yatoru's face tensed, and he had a stern look. The smiling Qingjiang still looked relaxed, but he sighed silently and bowed slightly.

Hirano's face was shocked.

Izumi Shou Kaneji even looked like he was about to be rained, his face sank, his jaw was tight, as if he was angry, but he didn't know why he was angry.

Well, everyone's expressions didn't exceed her expectations. Liu Quan smiled bitterly and sighed.

"In short, no matter what we think here, it's just speculation, and the best way is to find her, see what she wants to do, and then bring her back. She continued.

"It's not the first time you've been here. Everyone knows as well as I do what is going to happen," she said, raising her voice slightly, as if emphasized.

"The most important thing at the moment is to find the whereabouts of Kanna's Rinne. Let's divide into four groups and look in four directions. After finding her, don't act rashly, find out which side she belongs to now, tell everyone to gather, and then fight her."

Liu Quan gave orders neatly as he thought about it.

"To the south, let's go by the first phase of Jun and Hirano. In the case of the north, Nagaso Ya is in charge. Kane-san, you go with you. ”

No one had any objections, and the Fu Fushen who was named all nodded in response, "Yes", "Don't worry, master", "Chengzhi", and even Kan Sang, who looked a little tangled, bowed his head slightly, and said in a long voice, "I know".

Then, Liu Quan continued to order in an unquestionable tone and attitude, "To the east, Miriyue and Qingjiang are in charge of the investigation. ”

At this, she paused slightly, and her tone sounded even harder.

"West, I'm in charge. Everyone proceeds with caution. If there is no harvest, we will meet outside the Goryok Gate at noon to agree on the next step. ”

The smiling face Qingjiang slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and his chin head indicated that he was commanded.

However, the last one did not immediately say that he would obey the inquisitor.

A hint of unclear smile lines appeared near the corner of the lips of the Three Days Moon Sect, and he said leisurely, "Ahaha, is it west." The west side seems to be the direction of Bentendaiba."

Others""

At this moment, everyone else is probably thinking in their hearts, ah, why do you need to say it plainly about this kind of thing that everyone knows, and the master's mood of wanting to go to Bentendaiba to see the situation is not incomprehensible, after all, as a former Shinsengumi member, it is also a matter of course to want to take a look at the last place of the Shinsengumi

However, Liu Quan only nodded very calmly and responded to the question of the Three Moon Sect.

"That's true. She replied.

Sanri Moon Zongjin didn't seem to expect her attitude to be so calm, his eyes flashed slightly, and he let out a kind laugh.

"Aha. He browled his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was very gentle.

"There, presumably, is under siege by the new government forces. Leaving the master alone to go to the danger zone is not something we should sit idly by. ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw the female inquisitor's left hand raised and hung on her waist on the "Three Days and Moon Sect Near", which had just been replaced in front of the government today, and her index finger lightly tapped the blade a few times as if she were careless.

"It doesn't matter. She said, "I'm not so weak that I don't have the power to protect myself at such a time." ”

Sanri Yuezong looked at her with a smile, and the words he said in a gentle tone sounded like he was going toe-to-toe with her.

"Hahaha, although the master is the protagonist, we have to do things when we get the money. He replied as if half-jokingly.

The Divine Inquisitor glanced at him expressionlessly, and said in a rigid tone, "So please go to the east to investigate"

The Three Moons smiled and strengthened his tone a little.

"So I'm going to be serious. ”

The goddess and the most revered god of Honmaru's highest status and revered Fu Fu stood face to face on the wilderness of Hakodate, both smiling and speaking in a calm tone, but the air around them was faintly condensed.

The young boy of Hirano looked at them worriedly.

Nagaso Yatoru sighed, turned his gaze away, and watched his surroundings warily.

The smiling Qingjiang smiled, as if he was very interested in this scene, staring at the female judge and one of the five swords in the world, touching his chin, and looking at it as if he was amused.

Yizhen frowned slightly, looking a little worried, but as if he didn't know how to persuade him, so he silently touched the top of his brother's head standing beside him.

Izumi Morika was staring in the direction of the west with a smoky miasma, and in a rough voice interrupted the dialogue, which was becoming more and more strange.

"If you want to go to Bentendaiba, just say no, it's over, and so is the master, and the three days and moons, too, are you going to have a big fight for this," he said, and his tone was full of resentment, "Well, what can happen if you quarrel like this, anyway, I know that the master won't let me go." ”

The female inquisitor didn't seem to expect Kane-sang to say such a thing, and turned her head to look in the direction of Kane-sang, and when she saw the expression on his face clearly, she froze slightly, and then laughed for some reason.

Izumi Mamoru Kaneji "Hey, damn it, are you laughing at me?"

The smile on the Divine Judge's face grew wider. She smiled and shook her head, as if she had happily given up on the confrontation with the world's five swords.

"No, I just think what Kane-sang said is really right. She said with a smile, her tone sounding pleasant.

"It's worthy of being a powerful and handsome Kane-san," she smiled and continued to praise him, "In that case, please be in charge of the investigation in the east with Qingjiang."

Izumi Morikata's eyes widened.

"What about the three days and moons," he asked in a surprised retort.

The inquisitor had already turned her gaze away to the other end of the grove again.

There, the final place of the Shinsengumi.

Izumi Morikatsu saw the smile on the face of the female inquisitor gradually disappear.

"Since he insisted on going to Bentendaiba with me, let's go. She said lightly.

"Anyway, there's not much I can do there, except to investigate the whereabouts of Kanna. I've long understood this. ”
