Chapter Seventy-Two: Sacrifice and Fall into the Abyss
"You can't hand him over to the Docks, we owe him so much!"
Seeing this figure coming out of the crack, Ji Keyan and the white bird Ling on the other end of the headset exclaimed at the same time, "Sachiko?!"
Sachiko staggered to the front of them, panting, it seemed that she had come in a hurry, and before she could speak, Ji Keyan stepped forward and hugged her, carefully examined her body, and asked with concern, "How did you get out?"
"No, my sister, he's very nice to me. Sachiko's tone didn't have any grievances in it, it seemed genuine. But she didn't care about this at this time, and said anxiously to Hei Yuji, "Grandpa Ji, you can't hand him over to the Juhe Society, please!"
Ji Keyan pulled her back, put his hand on her forehead, and said worriedly, "What's wrong with this kid? After you were captured by this sword demon, do you know how worried your aunt is about you? Why are you helping him talk now?"
"No...... You don't know, we owe him too much, and if we hand him over to the Juhe Council again, it will only deepen our sins!" Sachiko was so anxious that her eyes were in tears, which made Ji Keyan know that she was by no means blinded by the key sword, and she was by no means willful.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Uncle, he...... The killing of those in the CIC five years ago, and the prevention of UG from establishing diplomatic relations with us, are all for the sake of ...... In order to avenge his daughter...... "When it comes to these things that the Juhe Association has done, Sachiko is still full of guilt.
Although she was young at the time, it had nothing to do with her, but she believed that everyone in the leadership of the CIA, no matter how big or small, was responsible.
At the time of an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
Ji Keyan asked strangely, "Revenge?" ”
"No...... Uncle, he is targeting the Juhe Society, and he knows that if the people of UG die in Dongzhou, they will definitely bring trouble to the Juhe Society. Five years ago, in order to harm the uncle, the association chose to block the uncle in the Ginza shopping mall, causing many civilian casualties, including the uncle's daughter. ”
"Five years ago?" Ji Keyan couldn't believe that the Juhe Society had caused such a big accident back then, whether in the spirit world or in the living world, causing civilian casualties on the battlefield was a very serious operational accident.
However, in addition to Sachiko, only Saya and Kurobayoshi were members of the Convergence Association, but Saya was only two or three years old five years ago, and all eyes were on Kurobayoshi now.
Kuroba was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Don't look at me." I wasn't in Dongzhou five years ago, and Xiao Ye can testify!"
Everyone looked at Xiao Ye again, and Xiao Ye said with a gloomy face, "I was only three years old at that time, how can I testify to you?" But according to your own words, grandpa, I was picked up by you in Germany five years ago, so grandpa, you were indeed not in Dongzhou at that time. ”
"What do you mean by 'according to my own words'? This is the truth! If you don't believe me, ask those boys of the Yuan family to see if what I said is true?"
Everyone was skeptical, this was Gen Kenichi said, "What Kuroba-sama said is right, he only returned to Dongzhou with Xiao Ye four years ago, and the Juhe Council didn't mention the plan five years ago, so they shouldn't know about it." ”
Only then did they remember that this Yuan Jianyi was a member of the Emperor Spirit Realm, and the Emperor Spirit was the intelligence agency of the Dongzhou Spirit Realm, so he must know something.
Without waiting for them to ask, Gen Kenichi continued, "At that time, Lord Qianzi had escaped from the Imperial Spirit Sect for a long time, and although we had been looking for him, we had no clue. At that time, for some reason, the Juhe Association actually learned of his whereabouts, and actually acted without authorization, organizing that catastrophic incident. His Majesty was furious and sent us to investigate the matter, but most of the facts were covered up by the Guihe Association, and we only knew some superficial information. ”
Although there was a reason for the incident, Ji Keyan did not have any mercy, "This does not become a reason for him to kill so many predecessors of Fez, if this is really the wrong thing in the first place, then he should also be allowed to accept the trial, tell the truth, and let the evil accept the sanctions!"
"No!" Sachiko broke free of Ji Keyan's hand, ran to the key sword, protected him behind him, and said with a crying voice, "If something happens to his uncle, his daughter will really have nothing to rely on, and she will die!"
Ji Keyan obviously couldn't accept it, if she let go of this sword demon like this, I don't know how many innocent people would be harmed in the future, and she herself would be ashamed of the organization and the heroic spirits of the dozens of murdered predecessors, "Sachiko, don't be childish, the harm he caused to the spirit world, you should know better than us, let him go, not only your aunt, the entire Dongzhou will be in danger, such consequences are not something you can bear with a word!"
Sachiko couldn't cry, but still refused to back down. At this time, Bai Ma Xiao and they have become outsiders, and they don't know how to interject, Bai Ma Xiao thought for a while and asked the other end of the earphone, "Xiao Ling, what do you mean?"
......After a short silence, Shiratori Ling finally spoke, "You turn the headphones into amplification, I'll talk to her." ”
Hakuba Shinoh did so, and the small earphones immediately turned into a speaker, and Shiratori's voice came out clearly, "Sachiko, have you ever thought that he is the enemy of the entire UG, and you, as the head of the Shiratori family, do you know what the consequences of you shielding him like this are? This is not just your business, the family will be scolded and become the target of public criticism because of you, do you understand!"
Doubts finally appeared in Sachiko's mind, she never remembered her identity, she only knew that when she turned twelve, she became the head of the family, and since then, her father left her, and from that moment on, she did not like the identity of the head of the family, she thought that if she did not become the head of the family, her father would always stay by her side. Since then, she has not done a single thing that the head of the family should do, from doing nothing, to ruining the family property, until now, she heard the disappointment of an elder in her aunt's tone.
She made her family lose her inheritance, and now she wants her family to lose its reputation, or even perish?
Sachiko hesitated, and couldn't help but glance back at the key sword, this notorious, but miserable fate, he is a terrifying sword demon, but at the same time he is also a father who is a demon for his beloved daughter.
She has been abandoned by her father, she doesn't want another girl to lose her father too, and compared to Chikoko, she is much luckier than Sachiko Shiratori, with too many things she doesn't deserve.
Now, maybe it's time for her to let go of these things.
As a result, when Sachiko handed over the Suzaku ring, Hakuma Shino was a little at a loss, looking at the fifteen-year-old girl in front of him blankly, and from her eyes, he saw a responsibility that was rare at her age.
She still chose to be alone to bear the mistakes of the Living Association.
"From now on, I am no longer the head of the Shiratori family. She stopped crying, and there was only a resolute look in her reddened eyes, "You don't want to admit your mistakes, I am willing to pay for them with my life." Although you have only been my aunt for a few days, if you still care about my life and death, please let them go of my uncle. If you don't care, and I don't blame you, then please step over my corpse. Please forgive me for being willful for the last time. ”
These words made everyone at a loss, and in addition to being shocked, they were more in admiration for this girl. Give up all the honor and throw yourself into the abyss alone, don't talk about children, there are not many adults who have experienced the rolling red dust.
Shiratori Ling in that world, her tone became very calm, "Sachiko Shiratori, have you decided?"
Sachiko breathed a sigh of relief and made the heaviest decision in the past fifteen years, "I would like to live and die with my uncle." ”
"Lord Kurobeyoshi, please let go of the Thousand Sons Key Sword. ”
The people present did not show a surprised expression, Ning Ning leaned on Nie Jianfeng's arms, and both of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; Ji Keyan lowered his head silently, noncommittal, no one knew what she was thinking; Xiao Ye still had an indifferent expression, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth; and Bai Ma Xiao, like Hei Yuji, showed a relieved smile. Only Kenichi Gen said angrily, "What are you talking about?!Our plan has succeeded, and now it's one step away, isn't it?"
"Source, you're wrong. My plan has always been to rescue Sachiko, and now I'm just following my direction and continuing to carry out the plan. ”
"You ......" Yuan Kenichi obviously didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, bringing back the Thousand Sons Key Sword was the task of every Emperor Spirit for many years, and now it seemed that it was about to succeed, but he couldn't refute it, because in the duel with Shiratori Ling, he lost to her, and according to the agreement, at this time, he was just helping Shiratori Ling complete her own plan.
Just like the purpose of the showdown at the beginning, this cooperation is led by her.
Although it is a pity to lose this opportunity, for Kenichi Gen, the honor of the samurai has always come first, and at that time, his skills are not as good as others, so he has no complaints at this time.
Kuroba confirmed everyone's expressions, knowing that none of them objected to letting go of the key sword, so he happily closed his eyes.
In an instant, the sword qi in his heart dissipated, and the body of the key sword returned to his control, he stood up tremblingly, and said slowly, "Xiao Xing...... Sachiko, why are you saving me?"
"Just as you have been pestering my aunt, my aunt still chooses to let you go. We are not alone in this world, my aunt let you go for me, and I saved you for a little luck. And what are you living for?"
"I'm alive...... For what?" Keysword said to himself, and suddenly picked up the Red Demon Star again, drawing a silver arc in the air.
The space was cut open by the demon knife again, revealing a crack, and the key sword withdrew the knife and said to the earphone in Bai Maxiao's hand, "Liang Yue, I owe you a life, and I will definitely return it, but this does not mean that I will give up the duel with you." ”
"Chiko Key Sword, take care of Sachiko, and she will be handed over to you. ”
Keysword glanced at Sachiko, didn't speak, and jumped into the crack.
The crack didn't close, and Sachiko knew that it was waiting for her, so she walked towards the crack with heavy steps, and suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Hakumashio.
Bai Maxiao was stunned for a moment, quickly put the headphones in front of her, and flashed them to the side.
Facing the white bird Ling on the other end of the headset, Sachiko bowed deeply, stood up, and entered the abyss-like crack without looking back.
Immediately, the crack closed, and together with the sword demon and Sachiko, they disappeared into the dark night sky, leaving only everyone speechless for a long time.
