Chapter 38: The Examination of the Lower Patience (2)

Hojo Uto's house, under the floor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Harita slowly adjusted her position and placed some weapons like smoke grenades. The house above was quiet, as if there was no one in it. There is no way to find out the location of the ledger, so I can only go in and find it slowly.

After making up his mind and waiting for the next wave of patrols to leave, Haruta quickly pulled out his knife, cut directly through the gap, and slowly drilled out.

Ninja Code 7: Don't let your guard down at any time. (Apocryphal)

When the whole person came out, Haruta quickly re-covered the floor. The lights were still on in the house, and it could only be said that the speed of expansion of this group of celestials was really terrifying, and it was only a few years since Edo had electricity everywhere.

If it were in ancient China, I would have given you the title of "Light Monster" and poured a bowl of black dog blood on you.

The lights are bright, and Haruta is not as careful as before. I searched the room directly.

No, no, or no!

I searched room by room, all the way to the bedroom, and I didn't even find a few pieces of paper.

Hojo can't be illiterate, right? Qing is too secretly bitter.

Squeak-

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of the door opening.

"Boss, you're back!"

"Well, patrol well. Not very safe lately. The voice that opened the door commanded.

Crunch――

The door closed again. Haruta hurriedly flashed to the side of the shadows, in case the other party found out.

Thick black eyebrows, tall build, a long scar on his face, and a katana at his waist. This person is none other than Hojo Youto!

Although the shogunate's "abolition of the sword order" was issued, it was able to control the samurai in Edo, and as for the outside, it was now in full swing.

In addition, although there were many samurai in Edo who participated in the war, it was difficult for the law to control the ground rats like the Hojo group. The underworld in Japan has been practiced since ancient times, and it has not been broken until modern times. Where is it like other countries, once the state apparatus is established, it will consciously eliminate these rat droppings.

Haruta hid to the side, and due to his figure and nightwear, the other party didn't notice him.

After Hojo Youdou walked into the room, the first thing he did was to come to the table, only to see him touch it a few times, and a dark compartment suddenly opened, and then Hojo took out a notebook and came out.

Books!

Harita's eyes lit up, and her movements became more and more cautious, and even the sound of her breathing was lowered a lot.

Hojo Youdou opened the ledger, his face became more and more serious, and even his brows were furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It took a while for him to put down the ledger, carefully put it back in the dark compartment, and then turned to leave.

After waiting for him to leave silently, Haruta quickly walked to the cabinet and groped for it according to Hojo's previous movements.

Just hear a "crunch", and the dark grid pops up again.

Bell bell bell -

Alarm bells suddenly sounded!

Dry! Qing Tai was so angry that she almost jumped up, stuffed the ledger into her arms with one hand, and then pulled out two small knives.

What he didn't know was that the dark grid set by Hojo Youto could only be opened once a day, and if the dark grid was opened for the second time, then the alarm bell would be triggered.

"Someone's barging in!"

"Catch him!"

"Fence off the house!"

.......

There was a flurry of footsteps and human voices, then there was a sudden pause, a dead silence. Qing is too dark and says that one is not good.

The other party must be sure that he is in the house! If you accidentally walk out, you may be hacked to death by dozens of knives in no time.

At this time, time passed very slowly, and Haruta became a little anxious.

Fight!

But you can't break in.

Bang!

With a kick open the door, several knives came in instantly, as if they were going to attack something, but all of them failed, and when they entered, they saw only a room filled with smoke. On the other side, Harita, who was dressed in a night suit, slammed directly into the back window and rolled in the yard, and a carp stood up.

"Here!" The people who were guarding the backyard found Harita.

The smoke grenade should be able to hold the people in front of you for a short while, and as long as you get rid of these people, you will be able to leave smoothly.

Five!

Qing Tai swept the yard, with two knives in hand, and he was not polite, his feet accelerated instantly, and he rushed in front of a person.

"Two knife streams. Flash! ”

The two swords seemed to merge into one at this moment, and the other party also attacked with a katana.

Whew!

The imaginary sound of the clash of gold and iron did not come, and with a pop, the other party fell down holding his neck.

How come?!

At this time, the people in the front yard had already discovered the situation here, and the sound of eager footsteps came.

Harita smiled slightly, turning to the others, her clear voice shining through the black veil.

"Come on! I'll kill you soon! ”

"Kill him!" The people of the Hojo group were still a bit bloody, and although one of their companions was killed in one face, they did not have the slightest sense of fear, and instead rushed forward brandishing their katanas.

"Two knife streams. Four flashes! ”

The sound of the bells and bells rang out, and the other party was shocked to find that Haruta seemed to be brandishing four knives! What's going on?

In this stunned moment, Qingta's right hand returned slightly, and only three fingers were left to hold the knife, and a thing with a cold light was thrown out by him.

Shuriken Technique!

Plop!

One fell to the ground with his face covered, and a small shuriken was stuck right in his face.

"Cut! Is it still not good to be on the spot? Haruta seemed to be talking to himself, he was going to shoot the other party's eyes. Now that there are only three people left on the opposite side for the time being, Qing Tai took a step forward, blocked the attack with one knife, and the other knife hit the opponent's chin directly, and the body was thrown high and fell again.

Qingtai's speed did not decrease, and with one spin, the small knife followed in a circle, slashing through the arms of the other two. The sword falls to the ground.

"Well, goodbye!" Harita's masked face seemed to smile, and she walked to the corner of the wall in a few steps, and climbed over the wall in two clicks.

If it weren't necessary, he would not normally be killed. As for the first person, he can only blame himself for his bad luck.

In the courtyard, several people covered their wounds, wailing in their mouths, and another person lay on the ground, and Hojo Youto, who hurried back, saw this scene with an iron face.

Damn it!

"Blockade Higashikocho and find him out for me!!" The roar of Hojo's Utoshi echoed in the mansion, and it didn't stop.

But at this time, where can you find Harita?

He had already left with the ledger!

........

It's dark at night.

Harita held a knife in one hand and stuck the other in his pocket as she walked leisurely.

He was very satisfied with tonight's battle.

The so-called two-knife flow. Four flashes are a performance that gives full play to his super speed. At the moment of the knife, one knife turned into two, and two knives turned into four, and the high-speed swinging speed almost formed an afterimage, giving the other party the illusion that "the enemy has four knives in his hand".

As for a flash, it's different from that. A flash, in fact, was created by Haruta using something in ninjutsu, through the combination of light, vision, knife swinging movements, etc., to create a visual illusion. And at the moment of attack, one knife will instantly revert to two. It's hard to prevent!

Having got the account book, Harita was content to embark on the road back to the Imperial Court.
