Chapter 452: Atonement
Chapter 452:
Edo, above the street.
Falling from the roof, Hakumura with his hand on his waist was running forward quickly, and where the surrounding flames were surrounded, the buildings that were once familiar and familiar or had a slight impression at a glance were all engulfed in flames, and Kenshin had a cold face, and turned to the left at the intersection in front of him.
"This way!" When Kenshin turned around, he happened to see those ordinary civilians living in Edo being killed by a group of people at the moment, in the background of the flames, burning the ugliest side of human nature, the men were killed, the women were snatched, and even more excessively, took off their pants directly in the background of this flame and started to do things?
With a cold face on the ground, Kenshin couldn't bear this scene happening in front of his eyes, or rather, because he was a traverser, he was able to have a more profound memory of this scene, at that time, in that country, weren't they all the same scene?
"Hahaha~ This war is so good~ It's so good, I haven't been so happy for a long time" A man with a scar in his eyes was stabbing under a desperate woman, but in a breath he was pierced through his throat by a katana, and at the same time, the katana slashed out diagonally, completely cutting the man's neck into two.
The red clothes on the body of "Huh~" were untied by Kenshin and fell on the naked "beep" body of the woman who was still crying on the ground, and because of the fall of the scarface, most of the sword-wielding samurai around them also turned their attention.
"You guy" Basically, under the background of the flames, Kenshin, who reflected the cold light of the village, stood in front of everyone, which also caused the irrepressible fear in the eyes of this group of samurai.
"Impossible! You are obviously still in the universe!" After roaring in fear, the samurai scattered in a hurry, facing him, there was really not much courage to resist.
"The war that I started is by no means to let you fish in troubled waters! You bed bugs who take advantage of the fire to rob!" "The hands that almost angrily grabbed Hamuramasa were trembling, and the figure of Kenshin disappeared in place At the same time, most of the samurai who fled in all directions also covered their necks, and the blood erupted irrepressibly, and they ran forward a few steps before staggering to the ground, feeling the loss of their lives~
"Is it really as Comrade Zhixiong said" Silent shomura retracted into the scabbard, Kenshin turned to face the group of bullied civilians.
However, the moment he turned around, facing the painful scenes of those women losing their husbands, the elderly losing their children, and the children losing their parents, for a while, except for stretching out his hands and moving his fingers, he couldn't say a word dumbly.
"Pull out the sword! Why! Why did you start this war! Not to mention that you took the life of my son ten years ago, the life of my grandson, who I had grown up with great difficulty, also disappeared because of you!" At this time, an old man with white hair stood up tremblingly in front of the corpse of a young man, and looked at Kenshin with eyes full of hatred: "It's you again! Why don't you die?" You guy who always brings disaster to me!"
"Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!" roared and played, the old man picked up the crutch in his hand and threw it at Kenshin, and when he watched the crutch smash on Kenshin's face, he was also full of resentment, and threw himself directly into the flames.
But at that moment, Kenshin grabbed his hand and rescued the old man.
"Why do you want to save me, you killed my son, and my grandson died because of you, why am I still alive in this world?" Sitting on the ground, the old man looked at Kenshin's arm that was still slightly scorched, but he still cried bitterly.
"Draw the sword, you will die"
"Yes, my father, my father was killed by you on the battlefield!" At this time, more and more people stood up and looked at Kenshin with hatred, and the hatred in their eyes was almost even more fierce than the flames burning on this Edo.
"And my brother, he just wanted to treat my wounds, but he went to the battlefield and never came back!"
"My husband woo woo"
"Soul Fade, if you hadn't started this war again, how would we have become like this!"
"That is, it's obviously a peaceful and prosperous world, why do you still stand up and break such a scene? You selfish villain!"
"Soul is faint, return my son's life!"
Ah, those screams of pain from these people, and those resentful eyes Zhi Zhixiong, you really think of me quite noblely!
At least I don't want to see such a look, what I think about is how I can be forgiven by them who show such eyes.
At this moment, a child of about 10 years old burst out of the crowd and rushed to Kenshin at a speed that was fast for a child, and the wooden thorn in his hand was stabbed at Kenshin.
"Poof" blood spurted out of Kenshin's abdomen, splashing the child's face, and under the bright red blood, her eyes full of hatred appeared.
"You killed my dad!
Stretching out his palm, he pulled the little child away, Kenshin pulled out the wooden thorn, and felt the blood flowing from the wound in his abdomen more and more violently, but this is what is facing these people, his own heart
"Kill the sword and avenge our dead relatives!" This shout slowly spread among the crowd, becoming more and more intense and explosive.
At this moment, the house that had been continuously burned by the flames could not form a frame after all, and collapsed with a "boom", pressing down on the desperate people below amid the screams of the crowd.
"Whew~" The purple sword qi roared by, cutting the collapsed house in half, but there was still half of it pressed down towards the crowd.
"Boom!"
The crowd who had just shouted for this killing knife was now watching all this in amazement.
The man they hated was now carrying the burning giant tree on his back, and the smell of burnt flesh continued to come from his back, and the red hair that was closer to him was burning or curling a little.
Kenshin exerted a slight force on his back, shattering the burning giant wood on his back as he straightened up to look at the group.
Turning around, he grabbed the hot wood in his hand, and despite the constant sound of "zizi" in his palm, he threw the giant wood away with a little force, revealing the woman who was pressed down below. Kenshin lowered his body and put on the clothes that covered her, and picked her up at the same time.
Slowly walked towards the crowd, but Kenshin took a step forward, and the crowd took a step back until Kenshin stepped out of the danger zone and into the center of the street.
Putting the girl in his hand on the ground, Kenshin looked at the crowd and showed a smile that didn't know whether to cry or laugh, not to know whether to apologize or feel guilty.
Immediately, he walked towards the terminal station, and in the scorching air, there was only the faint whisper of the breeze he left behind. Left him behind, not knowing what to do with a good heart.
"I'm sorry,"
"I'll give you back those sins. ”
―――――――――――――――― ――――――――――――――――
"My lord, why don't we go in and join in?" Outside of Edo, as I watched the once prosperous Edo now surrounded by flames, cries of grief and despair seemed to ring in my ears.
"No, no, no~ just here listening to those nice sounds of despair, looking at the expressions of those people who are dying, ah~ It's really good~" Shishio looked at Edo, as if those things were appearing in front of his eyes~
"Lord Zhi Zhixiong is really a bad taste~ Aren't you afraid of being settled by them after the autumn~" The young man held a long knife on the battleship and said with a smile.
"Hmph, that's good, I can't wait to see the power of my predecessors. Zhi Zhixiong smiled and looked at Edo: "On top of my great cause, the existence of the predecessors of the Scarlet Village is destined to be a tenacious stone, do I hit my head on this stone and die, or do I kick this stone away~"
"Neither I nor the seniors of Scarlet Village can prevent the coming of that chaotic era and give birth to the chaos before the new era hahaha!"
