The next morning, Busujima Saeko started bathing early. The main purpose of bathing was not to cleanse the body, but to cleanse the mind.
Yesterday, Yan Kai took Busujima Saeko to find the villains he met on the first day. Busujima Saeko killed them one by one. There were eleven people in total. The fatal injuries were all from the life-threatening knife in the throat. It was a happy death for them.
I don’t know what’s going on. It’s obvious that “Muro” is a sword that can kill people without staining blood, but every time after killing someone, the tip of the knife will always be stained with a drop of blood, and Busujima Saeko needs to remove it. Blow down.
Should I say that "Wulu" doesn't understand... or does he understand too well?
Although he has regarded killing as a sacred thing, Busujima Saeko still remembers what Yan Kai said: calm down, calm down, still calm down.
If you cannot keep your heart clean, you will be infected by the negative emotions of those villains when killing people, and eventually fall into the evil way of "killing people."
Therefore, it is necessary to bathe and change clothes before killing.
Bathing and changing clothes are just superficial. The deeper level is to immerse yourself in a clean state of mind.
When people take a bath, don’t they have that feeling of being purified? After putting on new clothes, doesn’t it make people feel refreshed?
Busujima Saeko wanted this kind of effect now. If conditions didn't allow it, she would even want to fast for three days before killing someone like Ximen Fubuki.
There is a kind of person who is close to the realm of God because he has become ruthless.
There is a kind of swordsmanship that no one can see, because everyone who was lucky enough to witness it has already died.
There is a kind of loneliness that cannot be described because it comes from the depths of the soul.
White clothes are like frost, loneliness is like snow, the sword god, Ximen Chuixue...
Obviously he is just a character in the comics. Whenever he thinks of Ximen Fubuki, Busujima Saeko will feel a shiver deep into his soul. This swordsman, who is as white as frost and as lonely as snow, even the hair on his clothes shows that he is a swordsman. style.
This is probably the ideal existence that all swordsmen pursue...
But Busujima Saeko knew that she could never become Ximen Fubuki. She could not become Busujima Fubuki, and she would not become Ximen Saeko. Just like Ximen Fubuki would fast for three days before killing someone, and she could only drink Yankaizui. Millet porridge, well, it’s considered fasting.
But isn’t this good?
Ximen Chuixue is very strong, and his persistence and sincerity in the way of the sword are admirable, but he is too tall and too inhumane. Compared to a human, he is more like a god standing on the clouds looking down on all living beings, which makes people want to I pay homage, but it is difficult to feel close to him.
Busujima Saeko doesn't want to be like Ximen Fubuki, but it's okay to get a little closer.
At least he gave Busujima Saeko a huge inspiration in his attitude towards murder.
It turns out that killing is neither a sinful thing nor something worthy of boasting. It is a sacred thing that can be dedicated to all, and must be treated seriously and respectfully.
Isn’t this an emphasis on life?
He has unparalleled swordsmanship, but has never used it to kill innocent people. This is the most sincere feeling towards the sword in his hand.
Stepping out of the bathtub and wrapping herself in a bath towel in the hazy mist, Busujima Saeko glanced at the "Unru" placed aside and began to carefully trim her nails.
These hands will soon be holding "Muru". She doesn't want her hands to be a little untidy at that time, so even though she only trimmed the nails of both hands yesterday, Busujima Saeko is not afraid of trouble at all. , even pruning it carefully with greater patience than yesterday.
After trimming her nails, Busujima Saeko put on the brand new white Hanfu prepared by Yan Kai.
The same style, the same whiteness.
Although Busujima Saeko had tried her best to avoid getting it dirty, the Hanfu she wore yesterday was stained when she killed the last villain.
He was an overlord of the "middle" region with expert strength, and he led his men to do all kinds of evil. With the help of Yan Kai, Busujima Saeko got the chance to fight him alone. She tried her best, but only with the help of "No Lu" The sharpness barely killed him, but the white Hanfu was still stained red by the sinful blood, which made Busujima Saeko very upset and disappointed.
Afterwards, Yan Kai said that he had made seven sets of the same clothes. It didn't matter if one set was dirty. There were still six sets of brand-new clothes. Busujima Saeko could wear a new one every day these days.
This is indeed okay, and it also makes Busujima Saeko's loss a lot less, but what's the point of this feeling of being moved wholesale?
Busujima Saeko didn't even know how to laugh.
Smile? Laughing? wry smile? Or laugh awkwardly but politely?
After getting dressed, Busujima Saeko took the "Muro" and silently said to it in her heart.
No dew, no dew, from now on, let's drink the blood of those villains together, okay?
Although "Wulu" was still in its sheath, it made a "hissing" sound.
"I don't care, as long as I can kill people, don't just leave me idle like the last master..."
After receiving the "Muru" and "affirmative" responses, Busujima Saeko couldn't help but feel very happy.
After walking out of the bathroom, Yan Kai was packing his things. When he saw Busujima Saeko coming out, Yan Kai quickly speeded up the packing: "Saeko, it's so early this time!"
"Because I already know how to wear this outfit."
Busujima Saeko said with a smile. He was still struggling with how to smile before, but when he saw Yan Kai, Busujima Saeko naturally showed a sincere smile.
"Kaijun, let me clean it up for you!"
Busujima Saeko temporarily put down "Muro" and went to help.
At present, the two of them basically find an empty house with water and electricity to stay for one night wherever they go before dark. They don't have a fixed residence, so they have to carry the salute with them.
After packing up all his things, before leaving the house, Yan Kai took out his wallet and placed a five thousand yen bill in the most conspicuous place in the house.
Yan Kai also did this behavior yesterday when he left the empty house where he stayed for the first night. Although Busujima Saeko was surprised at that time, he didn't ask much. This time when he saw Yan Kai, she couldn't help but ask: "Kai Jun, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, just the overnight fee left to the owner of the house."
Yan Kai put away his wallet and said.
"But this house is empty. I don't know if there is an owner. In fact, I think in a place like Zhong, if the house is unoccupied for more than two days, the owner is most likely dead..."
Busujima Saeko had some difficulty understanding Yan Kai’s behavior.
"Even if I'm the owner of the house, I can't default on paying a dead person!"
Yan Kai said matter-of-factly.
Busujima Saeko smiled. Kaijun's thinking was indeed different. She wanted to cause trouble and deliberately embarrassed her and said: "Kaikun, this is a 'Zhong' place. Most of the people here are bad guys, and the owner of the house may also be." Bad guy, do you have to give him money like this?"
Yan Kai pushed up his glasses: "If the owner of the house is a bad person, then I can't owe him even more. I don't like to owe people, especially bad people. This will make me very uncomfortable."
No matter whether he is a good person or a bad person, Yan Kai doesn't like to owe anyone. If he owes something, he must pay it back immediately. This is why when he first asked Kasumigaoka Shiu and Busujima Saeko for help, he didn't care whether they agreed or not. He talked first. Reason for good pay.
But later on, the three of them became familiar with each other and helped each other, so no one stopped worrying about who owed whom.
After listening to Yan Kai's words, Busujima Saeko suppressed his smile, nodded heavily to Yan Kai and said: "Kai-kun, you are right!"
Busujima Saeko couldn't help but admire Yan Kai's sincere attitude.
At the same time, I also understood that Yan Kai's ability to practice martial arts to a level beyond her reach at this age was not only due to his talent and family background. This sincere attitude may be more powerful than the two combined. important.
I still have a long way to go!
After Busujima Saeko and Yan Kai left, a burly man with short, naturally curly hair walked into the empty house.
"Strange, someone has come in?"
The burly man muttered softly.
Although Yan Kai and Busujima Saeko tried their best to restore the place to its original state before leaving, traces of someone's activities still remained. However, what the burly man found strange was not that someone had been in this room, but why someone had been in the room. There is still nothing missing inside.
Long before he left here to go out to do errands, he had already been mentally prepared for everything in the house to be moved away. After all, this was "Chinese".
Not to mention the thieves, let alone the villains in the "Central" area. There are no kind people here who would enter other people's homes without taking any of them... huh? Not only did he not take any of it, but he also left five thousand yen?
The burly man saw the five thousand yen placed in a conspicuous place. He picked it up and looked at it carefully. He found that it was not a counterfeit bill, but a real one, and he immediately became happy.
"It's really interesting that I can actually see such a person in '中'... It's also good that these 5,000 yen can be used as food expenses after going to Tokyo. It should be enough for me to have a meal!"
…………………………
In the "Middle" area, a stronghold extending in all directions like a maze, a well-dressed middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was led by the leader through many doors and came to a door with a special pattern. He straightened his collar , showing a smile that all men understand, leaving the envoy to open the door and walk in alone.
Inside the gate, a man wearing a white hooded cloak was sitting and waiting. The hood concealed his appearance, making it unclear what kind of person he was. After seeing the middle-aged man enter, he stood up to greet him. , performed a strange etiquette towards the middle-aged man.
"Member of the Fourth Department, you have been coming here quite frequently recently!"
The white cloak said to the middle-aged man after saluting.
"I can't help it. Who makes your Ling so cute? Every time I get close to her, I feel a hundred times more energetic and work harder! I've been very busy at work and under a lot of pressure recently. If I can't spend more time with her cute Ling's 'close', I don't know how to cope with the heavy work ahead... I need to be more energetic so that I can better serve the citizens who support me!"
The middle-aged man spoke with righteousness and integrity, and looked like he was asking for help for the people. People who didn't know better thought he was really a conscientious politician who served the people.
"Indeed, I heard that four members of Congress are actively promoting a bill recently. They have been so busy that they can't sleep at night. You should really relax more so that you can better change this country!"
The hood concealed the expression of the man in the white cloak, preventing the middle-aged man from seeing the sarcasm on his face.
However, both of them have been foxes for thousands of years, and they are all talking about gossip. Neither one will take the other's words seriously. If they are not both useful, neither one will say a word to the other.
"By the way, Priest Edward, you have to help me free up Ling's time the day after tomorrow."
The four council members said to the man in white cloak.
"How about the day after tomorrow?" Edward's voice showed some embarrassment, "Every time she is 'received', it takes several days for Ling to recover. It's already very difficult for her to 'receive' you today, and you have to do it the day after tomorrow. Let her 'receive', this..."
"Sigh... It's not me, but one of my 'like-minded' political partners is also interested in this. After hearing me talk about Ling, he was also very interested in Ling and insisted on meeting her."
The four council members said to Edward nonchalantly.
Hearing that the Fourth Department Councilor actually told an outsider about Ling's matter, Edward Priest said angrily: "Fourth Department Councilor, didn't we agree that we can't just tell others about the existence of 'Paradise', even if this is 'China', The existence of 'Paradise' is known to outsiders, but there is no guarantee that no one will come to destroy it!"
The business they run in this place is relatively taboo even among villains everywhere and everyone is evil. If outsiders find out about it, they will easily suffer disaster.
"Priest Edward..." The four council members put their arms around Priest Edward's shoulders very intimately and whispered to him, "This friend of mine is very important to me, and he is also someone I absolutely trust. He will never Will betray us. Moreover, he is very important to my plan to implement the bill next. If I can get his full support, my bill will be passed more smoothly, my power will be increased, and the sect will also Isn’t it good to benefit along the way?”
"this……"
Priest Edward hesitated.
"With one more umbrella protecting this place, you can feel more at ease, right?"
Putting aside his character, the Fourth Councilor is indeed an outstanding politician, and his words are very seductive. Priest Edward thought for a while, and finally nodded after weighing the pros and cons.
"Okay, I promise you! Councilmembers of the Fourth Department, you and I are just grasshoppers on a rope. Don't do anything that will cause us all to suffer losses!"
Although the decision had been made, Priest Edward was still a little worried.
"Isn't this for sure! I still want to enter the cabinet in my lifetime. How could I do something that would destroy my future!"
The member of the Fourth Department smiled happily, not only because he had found a bargaining chip to win over his political partners, but also because the next thing he did was good for his physical and mental health.
"Okay, the matter is settled, take me to see Ling quickly!"
Thinking of something that was good for physical and mental health, the four council members began to urge Edward to sacrifice.
"Hey, Member of the Fourth Department, this is not the first time you have come to see Ling. Why are you still looking so anxious, and you don't even show mercy to Ling!"
Priest Edward seemed to be complaining about the four council members, but he knew that Ling had such magical power that made people want to be rough.
Sure enough, the four members of the Council showed a smile of "Don't you understand yet?" and said to Edward: "Edward, if others don't know, how can you still not know? Ling can give people a brand new feeling every time , it’s really a huge treasure that can’t be unearthed no matter how hard you dig!”
Although Priest Edward did not show an expression, the four members of the Council were sure that the smile on his face at this time must be the same as a man's unspoken smile.
"Come on, let's go!"
Priest Edward walked in front and passed through many doors before bringing the four members to a purple door.
"Your place is like a maze. Every time I come to see Ling, I have to put in a lot of effort!"
The four council members walked so much in a row, and some complained that after all, with his physical strength, he could only attend meetings, so he might as well save on walking if he could.
"There is no other way. People in the world don't understand the greatness of our sect and always treat us with malice. We can only hide ourselves like this."
Priest Edward's voice was full of helplessness.
Malice in return? I think everyone is shouting for beating, right? If you didn't have "services" that you don't have anywhere else, I wouldn't even bother to have anything to do with you!
The four members thought so in their hearts, but they said: "It's okay. When I enter the Senate, I can provide you with more protection, and you don't have to be so fussy!"
"Then I'll thank the four council members first!"
Priest Edward's voice showed joy for the first time.
Isn't it all because of this promise that I have been trying to please this member of the Four Ministries for so long, even meeting his various unreasonable demands?
"Ling, Uncle Sibu is here, do you miss Uncle Sibu?"
The members of the fourth department were really impatient, and he couldn't help shouting excitedly even though they were still standing there.
Just when the lower body of the Fourth Member was burning, his chest suddenly felt hot. When he lowered his head, he saw a bright silver blade with beautiful patterns growing out of his chest.
"Well……"
Just as the member of the Fourth Department was about to shout, a slender hand with the fragrance of roses stretched out from behind him and covered his mouth. At the same time, the blade grew into another length.
"I'm sorry, Senator Four, you probably won't be able to enter the Senate in your lifetime."
Busujima Saeko's cold voice reached the ears of the four members of Congress. The members of the Four Branches only had time to leave a few "woo-woo" sounds before closing their eyes completely.
The four council members came to the end. Next to him, Priest Edward had already fallen down a step ahead of him. He had died with his throat cut. The two of them were less than a minute apart, and they fell together quietly. It was considered that they knew each other. A "friendship".
"Kaijun, I'll go inside first to check the situation. You wait outside for a while."
While following the four members, Busujima Saeko roughly understood what the four members were here for, so she had a rough idea of what would be in the room, so she asked the male Yan Kai to avoid it.
"Okay, Saeko, you...be careful!"
Yan Kai looked a little weird, and he actually told Busujima Saeko to be careful.
Busujima Saeko didn't think much, thinking that Yan Kai was afraid that she would be in danger, but in the room, there was probably just a miserable woman who had been abused. She didn't think there was any danger, but she still nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go Jun, I understand."
The door was unlocked, and Busujima Saeko easily pushed it open. Inside was a room decorated like a fun hotel. Various special props made Busujima Saeko even more sure of her guess. She slowly walked towards In the center of the room, there was a large round bed covered by a pink gauze bed curtain. Through the thin pink gauze bed curtain, Busujima Saeko could vaguely see someone lying inside.
"Are you Ling? I'm here to save you. Don't be afraid. Come with me..."
Busujima Saeko whispered to the hazy, delicate and small figure in the pink gauze.
The figure didn't respond. Busujima Saeko thought she was unconscious. After all, according to the conversation between the four members of the Council and Edward Priest, this Rei must have been suffering abuse. It was normal for her to fall into a coma because she couldn't bear it. So she took the initiative to lift the bed curtain and thought To see what's going on inside.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, and Yan Kai, who was waiting outside the door, heard the sound and rushed into the room immediately.
"Kaijun, don't come here! Get out quickly!"
Busujima Saeko's voice was very sharp and rapid, with extreme anger suppressed in the rapidity. Yan Kai retreated as quickly as he came, but before exiting, his sharp eyes still saw how the loud noise was made. of.
Busujima Saeko punched the wall at the head of the bed, punching through the wall and breaking the brackets of the bed tent, causing the bed tent to fall down and cover Busujima Saeko's head.
With the bed tent covering her head, Busujima Saeko could be said to be in a state of embarrassment, but she didn't care at all. She opened up some space and gently hugged the purple-haired little girl lying in the center of the big bed, with no hair and bruises on her body. Into the arms.
Yes, it's a little girl, a five or six-year-old girl. This is the "Ling" mentioned by the four council members and Priest Edward!
Four! Edward! You are not human! For actually attacking such a young girl, you will not die! Come back to life and let me kill you ten thousand times again!
Busujima Saeko gritted his teeth and had tears in his eyes. He only regretted that he had struck too quickly and did not kill those two people with a thousand swords!
