[43] A backstab that travels through time and space
Han Baiyi was on his way to the flying claws.
Fly all the way to the Pingtian Mansion at the top of the Bamboo Forest Slope, where the main gate has been guarded by a group of bandits.
In order not to delay time, Han Baiyi had to climb over the wall and rush all the way into the small courtyard.
From afar, you can see the raging fire burning in the direction of the main hall, the blazing fire illuminates the night, and from time to time there will be the sound of bandits shouting and fighting, and a small group of rebels are attacking the bandits' encirclement everywhere, but they are wiped out wave by wave.
Han Baiyi is not Wuxia Ameng now, just from the bandits' moves, you can see that their skills are far beyond ordinary people.
Coupled with the skillful change of military formations, alternating forwards, encircling and counter-breaking out, and setting fire to people, a group of inner courtyard guards who protected the important people of Hirata's own family and whose force was only acceptable could not break out of their encirclement at all.
But Han Baiyi didn't care if they lived or died.
In the original timeline, the Hirata family was completely dead, and even if he saved it alone, he couldn't save a few.
What's more, he didn't have time to save people.
He didn't even know what he was.
In the original plot setting, the wolf who traveled from the future to three years ago has no previous memory.
Since he has no memory, he must not know what happened three years ago, so the wolf scrambled like a stunned young man to ask for a lot of clues from the bandits, and only then did he learn the news that the prince was hiding in the mountaintop mansion.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the wolf was fooled by his father-in-law who pretended to be seriously injured for a while, and desperately ran to the bottom of the Buddha hall to find the traces of the royal son.
Waiting for him to kill all the way and sneak underground, and then through the hints of Inosuke's mother and son in the illusion, he went to the underground Buddhist hall and had a fight with Madame Butterfly, who kidnapped the royal son, and finally won with difficulty.
When the butterfly was hacked to death, the wolf was about to go to find the royal son, when the righteous father who faked his death came to send a righteous sneak crit + backstab.
In the game, the wolf who crossed over to the Hirata dungeon didn't know who did it until someone exploded the chrysanthemum.
In a coma, he made a contract with Miko and reached immortality.
If it weren't for the kindness of the royal son, the wolf would have basically had to fart under the collapsed Buddhist hall at that time.
However, what makes Han Baiyi strange is that whether it was three years ago or three years later, there was only one 'wolf' from beginning to end.
According to the normal timeline, the wolf became Miko's ninja shortly after Miko was born, and he has been guarding Miko for many years.
However, at the time of the Hirata family's trouble, no time or place did the 'Three Years Ago Timeline' wolf appear, as if this person had never existed.
Even the measures of rescuing the royal son, killing the butterfly, and breaking through the bandits were all completed by wolves who crossed over from the future.
The last one to be stabbed in the back was also a wolf who crossed over three years later.
So...... Where did the wolf of this timeline go?
Was he deceived into slaughtering?
Han Baiyi didn't know.
After all, wolves are raised by owls and butterflies together, and they can be said to have 100% trust in owls.
But why didn't they raise the slightest question about the wolf's forbearance three years ago?
You know, in the game, the wolf's arm was cut off after the battle with Ichiro - this is a plot kill, and it cannot be changed.
However, three years later, in the dungeon wells at the beginning of the game, the wolf's arm is still alive.
When the wolf traveled to three years ago with his hand of forbearance, there was obviously a huge difference in his image, but those who knew him well, whether it was Xiao, Butterfly, Miko, or even those of the Hirata family who knew him, did not raise the slightest question about his hand.
It's as if that's what it is.
It's easy to say if it's a dream, but in the game alone, there is too much evidence to prove that he didn't enter the dream, but traveled through time.
Han Baiyi didn't dare to think about it, and as soon as he thought about it deeply, he felt an inexplicable creepy feeling.
This kind of supernatural phenomenon that reverses reality is probably the biggest secret in the wolf world, right?
What the hell is going on, what is the problem?
Han Baiyi's mind was chaotic, and he walked quickly through the stone alley in silence to the door of the main hall.
A huge man slumped on the edge of the stone in front of the main hall, and the hall behind him burned with raging flames, and black smoke rose straight into the sky, obscuring the moonlight.
Seeing this giant, Han Baiyi's eyes lit up immediately.
Although this was the first time he had seen a fox in this world, whether it was his huge size or the big pale braid that was symbolically tied into a twisted flower, he could recognize the other person at a glance.
"Father!"
Han Baiyi looked like a wolf, his expression was solemn, and he couldn't believe that his father would be hurt so much, and his acting skills were outstanding.
"Yes...... You. β
Blood spilled from his mouth, and he raised his head in a difficult tone, with a fatherly smile on his face.
"Careless......"
"I ...... too I'm old. β
Han Baiyi's face was sad, and he tore off his sleeves and was about to start bandaging him, but he was stopped by Xiao.
"No need to bandage ......"
"This hurts...... It's hopeless......"
As he spoke, he took out a key from his bosom.
"Speaking of which...... Wolf, this one is for you. β
Xiao said, gasping for breath with difficulty.
Han Baiyi's eyes were full of sadness, and he watched the deep wound on the chest of the owl keep bleeding, soaking the placket on his chest, revealing the internal organs inside.
Xiao smiled calmly.
I have to say that this old man's acting skills are comparable to those of the Oscar winners.
So Han Baiyi also began to play.
I saw Han Baiyi's face full of sadness, looking at his dying father-in-law and hesitating:
"What is this?"
The owl coughed violently, then gasped and replied slowly, with difficulty:
"The ...... of the mansion Hide the key to the temple. β
"Miko-sama is there......"
"But, ahem, but this fire ...... It is not possible to enter from the front. β
"Only from the outside of the cliff ......"
"Ahem, ahem, ahemβ"
Xiao suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and covered it with a big slap in his fan, and his chest couldn't stop gasping.
"Go out from there, go along the cliffs, go around the cemetery......"
"There's a path over there."
Han Baiyi nodded with a gloomy face,
"Understood."
The owl suddenly grabbed the wolf's shoulder, his body was covered with blood, and his tone was extremely solemn:
"Wolves, remember the precepts of ninjas......"
"Master, supreme ......."
"Wolves, risk your life and protect your ...... Uh......"
The owl's tone became weaker and weaker, his body leaned forward limply, and his huge figure collapsed like a mountain, and he collapsed in front of the wolf.
In the scar in the center of his chest, less and less blood flowed out, and his heart finally stopped beating.
Han Baiyi's face was extremely sad, the pain was almost impossible to hide, and his eyebrows were fixed on the corpse of the owl.
"Father's ......"
The sword flashed.
Poofβ
The immortal slashed open the door and pierced the owl's heart.
"Gh-poof-"
Suddenly spurting out a large mouthful of blood, the owl opened his eyes in shock, lowered his head, and stared at the knife that pierced the heart in the center of his chest in disbelief.
Han Baiyi looked at him coldly.
Owl's hands almost trembled, and Yoshiko's calm and indifferent expression was as if the two were just strangers.
"Sure enough, it was fake death."
Han Baiyi's tone was almost indifferent, but Xiao Xiao's face was distorted, as if he had been betrayed by the closest person.
"Wolf...... Have you forgotten the ninja precepts......"
"How could you, how could you...... Draw a knife at me. β
"Otherwise? Waiting for you to kill me? β
With a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Han Baiyi's mouth, he opened the door and twisted it, and his heart was broken into several pieces.
"Gross-"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out, but this time he was not surprised.
"I didn't expect it, you know it all."
"Of course I do. You covet Longyin, betray Wei Ming, and take refuge in the inner house, I know it. β
Han Baiyi's tone was calm, giving full play to the advantage of the traverser's foresight, and the blade was stuck in the chest of the owl without moving.
What a strong vitality, the heart is shattered, and he can still speak, no wonder he can still pretend to die with such a big wound on his body.
But this time he deserves to die, right?
Han Baiyi remembered that there was no such strange thing as a slash head and jumping around alive in the game, thinking that he should still be human.
But in the game, the owl seems to have two tubes of blood?
To be on the safe side, Han Baiyi stood beside Xiao and watched for a while, kicked his knife away, pulled out the door to open the door and cut off his head with a knife, causing secondary death, and then threw his head into the fire along with his body.
Looking at the corpse that was clinging to the fire and burning, Han Baiyi relaxed slightly.
Now, the owl is completely dead.
"Rest in peace, father."
Han Baiyi grinned sadly, which could be regarded as a sad expression, and then turned to leave.
Father and son.
