Chapter 60: The Mastermind

The other party was injured in the leg by Fuyuma, and it was obvious that the speed of escape would not be very fast, plus Fuyuma remembered his breath, so it was not difficult to catch up with him.

Winter Horse's mood at this time was both angry and puzzled.

He was angry because if he hadn't changed his plans today, he would have come to deliver gifts in advance, and Bai Ya might have died at the hands of this group of people. And what puzzled him was naturally the identity of the assassin!

Fuyuma never imagined that this matter would have something to do with him.

Not long after the winter horse chased out, he saw the figure of the man, the other party's original speed was not as good as the winter horse, plus there was an injury on the leg at this time, and he was soon close to the winter horse.

After escaping for some distance, Fuyuma became impatient, the Assassin should have known that his escape was hopeless, but he had no intention of giving up. This makes Fuyuma feel that the other party is underestimating him.

As a result, the winter horse picked up speed again and landed directly in front of the assassin, blocking his way.

And the other party had no choice but to stop.

"We should be second, no...... Now it's the third time we've met, Hojo-sensei. ”

Fuyuma said as he looked at the person in front of him.

This assassin is the former head instructor of the Mao Spiritual Academy.

"Captain Kyogoku, you are even more terrifying than I imagined, we have only met once before, but you can remember me."

Hojo's identity was revealed, and there was no need for him to continue hiding at this time.

And the tone of his voice sounded like a very urgent feeling.

What is he anxious about? It's not something that Fuyuma cares about, maybe it's a hurry to report to his master.

"You should understand your situation by now......"

Fuyuma said.

"You can't escape."

The expression of Hojo's face under the mask was slightly distorted, and the impatience in his heart had become even stronger.

"I don't have anything to say about my identity exposed, but I have to do one thing first, and then I don't complain about what Captain Kyogoku does with me, but now I have to leave!"

Hojo rushed over a little frantically, and it was not difficult for Fuyuma to judge his intentions, and the other party wanted to break through his block, rather than trying to fight with himself.

"I said, you can't escape!"

As Hojo's body was about to pass by Fuyuma, Fuyuma slammed the hilt of his knife into Hojo's face with a wave of his hand, sending him flying backwards for some distance.

Hojo fell to the ground hard, and even the mask on his face was knocked off by a blow from Fuyuma, revealing his somewhat deformed face at the moment.

However, he soon struggled to his feet again, and Fuyuma felt very wrong.

Hojo's face seems to have tears streaming down his face, and Fuyuma doesn't think he's crying because he's hurt.

Immediately afterward, Hojo made another move that made Fuyuma very puzzling.

With a "plop", Hojo knelt in front of Fuyuma.

"Captain Kyogoku! Please, please let me go! ”

Winter Horse looked at his performance with disgust, since you stained your hands with blood, you should think that you would have this day...... Now, are you begging for mercy? Do you accept the pleas of the innocents who died at your hands?

Fuyuma wanted to kill this guy with a single slash, but he needed to get more clues out of him.

"If you don't want to die, just obediently go back to the Rotten Wood house with me and confess the mastermind behind you, maybe they will spare you from dying."

Fuyuma said in disgust.

"I'm not begging for mercy for myself!"

Hojo shouted.

They were in a woods at this time, and it was quiet around them, and Hojo's shouting was very distinct.

"I'm ...... To save my family......"

Hojo's family...... Winter horses also have an impression. He remembered that he had met the family at the gate of the Mao Spiritual Academy.

"What do you mean?"

Fuyuma asked.

"Today's assassination targets are not ordinary targets...... To prevent me from leaking secrets, my family has been contained...... But now...... The news of my defeat will soon reach his ears, and I will surely die, but they will also kill my wife and children, and I must save them! ”

The more Hojo spoke, the more emotional he became, and the way Fuyuma looked at him didn't look like he was cheating, and the information in his words also revealed uncomfortable feelings.

“…… If what you say is true, tell me who the mastermind is, and I hope you don't lie to your family......"

When Fuyuma came to the academy for a special lecture ten years ago, he had also heard Dean Kodama talk about something related to Hojo.

Valuing family members is one of them.

Perhaps the urgency and cowardice he was showing at the moment were too real, and there was no way for Fuyuma to completely distrust him.

"Tell me who the masterminds are, and I'll go get them out."

Fuyuma said.

When Hojo heard this, he was stunned for a while.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Hurry up! You should be in a hurry! ”

Fuyuma raised his voice and urged.

At this time, the sky suddenly began to rain, and the sound of rain washing away the leaves broke the silence in the forest, and it seemed a little noisy.

But Hojo's words were still clearly heard by Fuyuma.

It turned out to be him?

Winter Horse's thousands of shocks can only turn into helplessness in the end, and it is helplessness for people's hearts.

"You come with me."

Fuyuma said to Hojo.

However, the other party chuckled.

Then, Hojo suddenly moved and stabbed the blade in his hand into his abdomen.

“!”

In the face of his sudden move, Dongma was a little caught off guard.

“…… Cough...... Now Captain Kyogoku should ...... Trust me...... Ahem......"

"I know...... Your ...... Can you get your promise...... I can die with peace of mind...... This is me...... Ahem...... How it should end ......"

“…… Wish...... Can you protect my ...... Family ......"

“…… Evidence about his incrimination...... I also collected it...... Hidden in the house......"

Hojo used the last strength of his life and said with difficulty.

After that, he couldn't make a sound, and his body writhed in pain for a while, and then there was no movement.

He's dead.

He has killed countless people, this is indeed the end he deserves, and Fuyuma will not feel distressed, and he will not feel sorry for people like him. But his death like this gave Fuyuma a lot of touch.

Help him rescue his family.

This is indeed a promise made by myself.

And Hojo chose like this, it seems that what he said is also true, he told the mastermind, he wanted to eliminate Fuyuma's suspicion with his own death, he really hoped that his family could survive.

Fuyuma looked at Hojo's corpse and turned to run in the rainy night.

I hope that after he saves the mother and daughter and catches the mastermind, this matter can end perfectly.

I hope so......
