Syllable!

The back of the palace stepped on the back foot and rushed straight towards the root shore.

-!

Naomasa Negishi hurriedly threw aside the iron cannon in his hand as he hurriedly threw aside the iron cannon placed next to his left foot, all of which were in a state of readiness.

Even though these iron cannons were placed in the position where Negishi Naomasa was within reach, the palace would not give him time to pick up the iron cannons anymore.

Flutter!

At the moment before Negishi's fingers were about to touch the iron cannons at his feet, the knife in Mamiya's hand pierced Negishi's chest and directly hit Negishi's vital point.

"Poof...... Poof......"

Negishi, who was spitting blood in a big gulp, raised his head with difficulty and looked at his Mamiya who was watching his life with indifferent eyes.

"The projectile I just shot...... Where did you go......? ”

Hearing Negishi's question, Mamiya said to Negishi in a natural tone without thinking:

"Before it hit me, I was chopped to pieces."

"Split, split, ......?!" Negishi looked at the Mamiya in his gaze, and at this time he was densely frightened, "You guy...... Be...... Monster...... Is it?! ”

"I'm still far from a real monster."

As if he remembered someone, a look of remembrance appeared on his face.

"As long as you know the trajectory of the projectile's flight, and then the knife speed is fast enough, you can easily split the projectile."

"Out of the knife...... I just ...... I didn't hear the knife drawn...... Burst...... Poof......"

Before he could finish speaking, Naomasa Negishi, who had a large amount of blood gushing into his mouth, could no longer spit out the whole words, and could only let out some meaningless moans.

With a twist of the knife in his hand, he opened the muscles of Namasa Negishi's blade that had been clenched by the severe pain, and then slowly pulled the blade out of Naomasa Negishi's body.

Because of the behavior of the Mamiya in Negishi's body, the damage suffered by Negishi Naomasa was even greater, and the wound became much larger as a result, and more blood began to flow out along Negishi's wound.

The inter-palace that pulled the blade out of Negishi's body took two steps back, silently watching Negishi fall to the ground and convulse, silently watching Negishi Naomasa slowly lose any sound......

……

……

At the same time—

In a room on the first floor of the Negishi family's home base.

"Finally...... Let me find you. ”

With a calm face, Ogata slowly drew the knife from his waist as he walked towards the horse's face, which was huddled in the corner of the room.

"Wow——!" Looking at Ogata who was walking towards him with a knife, the tearful horse's face let out a terrible scream.

As he searched room by room, Ogata was worried that the horseface would not be in the mansion or had just taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

Ogata didn't expect it - his luck was not bad.

In a room, he found the face of the horse hiding in the corner.

"Hey!" Ogata said in a very impatient tone to the still trembling horse's face, "Give me back my money bag." ”

With that, Ogata stretched out his left hand and beckoned to the horse's face.

"Yes, yes! I'll pay it back now! Pay it back now! ”

Horse Face hurriedly pulled out a light blue brocade bag from his bosom - it was Ogata's money bag.

After Magami took out Ogata's money bag, he hurriedly threw it towards Ogata as if he were throwing a hot fireball.

Ogata took the money bag thrown by the horse's face steadily, and then flipped it in his hand.

"You guy, you shouldn't have spent my money, right?"

"Nope! Absolutely nothing! Ma Yan shouted with a handful of snot and tears, "Since I took your money yesterday until now, I have been carrying it in my arms and have no time to spend it!" I'm telling the truth! I'm not lying! ”

“…… Take your word for it. ”

Ogata said as he shoved the money bag back into his arms, and—

The knife flashed.

Ogata unleashed the "dragon's tail" and swept it from left to right towards the horse's neck.

The horse's face looked at the expressionless Ogata in front of him in shock, and then looked down at the neck that was spurting blood.

He raised his hands to stop the blood, but it still spilled out through his fingers.

I wanted to shout something, but all I said was some meaningless, wordless "ho-ho" sound.

"I should have said that yesterday, right?"

Ogata said to the horse's face as he wiped the blood off the blade with the handkerchief he had just picked up.

"If you don't return the money to me in time, Amaterasu won't be able to protect you when he comes."

When Ogata put the knife back into its sheath, the horse's face had just lost its breath.

"Okay......"

Ogata let out a sigh of relief.

"The money has been returned. So next...... Let's talk to Mamiya......"

Ogata looked up at the stairs in the distance.

The question that Mamiya had just thrown at him echoed in Ogata's mind again.

It would be absolutely impossible to say that Ogata didn't care about the question that Mamiya had just raised.

……

……

"Naomasa Negishi has confirmed the kill......"

Mamiya looked at the corpse of Naomasa Negishi in front of him and muttered softly.

"My next task...... There's only one left...... Well? ”

Mamiya suddenly heard noisy footsteps outside the window.

Is it the reinforcements from the "Yakuza " that have arrived-With this question, Mamiya slowly walked to an open window not far away.

Looking down, the scene that appeared in front of Jian Miya's eyes made Jian Miya's face involuntarily appear stunned.

Outside the Negishi family's base camp, groups of samurai in special black uniforms surrounded the mansion from all directions.

The special black uniforms on their bodies have revealed their identities - the officials who have been changed by the fire pay thieves.

Mamiya also saw two familiar figures in this gang of officials - Hasegawa Heizou and Imai Cheng.

"How did the official messenger of the Huofu thieves chase here......" Mamiya muttered.

After a moment of silence, Mamiya sighed lightly.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you are caught by the officials who changed from the fire pay thieves, or if you are caught by the forces and hearts of the Tatsuno Domain."

After talking to himself, Mamiya pulled out a brown cylindrical object from his bosom.

This cylindrical object also has a lead left at the bottom.

There was a special stove in this room, and after walking to this stove and lighting the fuse with the fire in this furnace, Mamiya quickly walked back to the window before the lead burned to the end, and then pointed the cylindrical object in his hand to the sky.

After the lead burns out -

Laugh at!

A red "meteor" flies upwards from the top of this cylinder, and then blooms into a brilliant "flower" in the sky.
