"Hurry up, hurry up! Push harder! Push harder! Haven't you eaten yet? Japanese men don't have the endurance! If you don't let me have more fun, I'll kill you!"
Esdeath's excited and crazy voice echoed on the roof of the small building. A Western thin sword that didn't seem to weigh much suppressed the twelve Japanese samurai swords and was almost unable to fight back. The twelve swordsmen of the "True Martial Arts Group" There were scars all over the body, but on the other hand, not even a single hair of Esdeath was injured by them. The milky white military uniform was spotless and shined white under the bright moonlight.
"Damn it, Uncle Matsudaira is indeed a favor to the witch who always avoids it every time he sees it. It's really hard to repay it. Could it be that his life is on the line this time!"
Hijikata 14 took advantage of the breathing space to complain after completing an attack and defense.
"Hijikata-senpai, did you eat too much mayonnaise? You're exhausted so quickly."
Among the twelve swordsmen of the "Shenwu Group", only Okita Sougo still has some strength left. Although he was beaten by Esdeath and couldn't find Kita, he still had the intention to mock Hijikata Jutsu.
"Ah, by the way, the 'Shenbu-gumi' will soon be renamed the 'Shenseng-gumi'. Then instead of me calling you 'Hijikata-senpai', you should call me 'Okita-senpai'. After all, I came to the police earlier than you." The theater. How about you call me twice first, Hijikata-jun, so that you can adapt to the future life in advance."
Okita Sougo thought of something happy, and smiled after narrowly avoiding one of Esdeath's stabs.
"Wait until you survive, you bastard!"
Hijikata Jūshou yelled after blocking Esdeath's second thrust for Okita Sougo.
The conflict between Hijikata 14 and Okita Sougo has been going on for a long time. Okita Sougo has never concealed his hostility towards Hijikata 14 and his ambition for the position of deputy chief, but once they fight as members of the "True Warriors Team" At that time, the two of them were comrades who cooperated seamlessly, could turn their backs to each other without reservation, and could block the knife for the other party. This was true for both Hijikata Jutsu and Okita Sougo.
"Hijikata junior, let me tell you, why don't you stay and estrange the queen? Hold this woman for a few seconds so that we have time to escape. Every year on your death anniversary, I will bring your favorite mayonnaise to visit you at your grave. Of…well!”
While Okita Sougo was saying such sarcastic words, he bumped away Hijikata Jutsu, who was unable to dodge. His shoulder touched Esdeath's rapier, and he was stabbed with a bloody eye.
"This is really bad. I have never seen the director and the others fight so hard. Even Okita was injured!"
There were swords and swords on the top of the roof, and everyone's movements were too fast to be seen clearly. Among the people watching the battle, only Yamazaki Tai could clearly see the situation above, the commentator Yamazaki Tai said worriedly.
"If that's the case, then you should come on!"
Ryoko Yakushiji glared at Tsui Yamazaki, the only parallel swordsman on his side who had the ability to intervene in the precarious battle at hand.
Yamazaki said in a matter-of-fact tone: "I only went up to destroy their cooperation. Not only did it not have a positive effect, but it was a negative help!"
"This is unreasonable. There is no other way. It seems that I can only use a unique trick..."
Yakushiji Ryoko bit her thumb and said, if she could help it, she really didn't want to use this trick, but the matter was at this point, and if she didn't use her strength, there would be no way to end the matter.
The battle situation has become increasingly obvious. If the fight continues, the Twelve Swordsmen of the "True Martial Arts Group" will suffer permanent attrition. She regards the "True Martial Arts Group" as her own private army in the future, and of course she does not want to see anything happen to them. .
"Police Yakushiji, do you have any tricks to deal with the current situation?"
Yamazaki said in surprise.
This is obviously just an ordinary woman who is "proficient" in fighting skills. She can beat drunkards and kick gangsters. But in the battle at this level, if she rushes forward, she will only be cut into pulp by the spilled sword energy. What can she do? Can a unique move interfere with the outcome of this battle? Could it be the latest black technology developed by JACES?
"Counsellor, do you want to use that trick?"
Junichiro Izumida said with a horrified look on his face, he even forgot about the chill on his body, no, the chill on his body was even worse, and he shivered directly.
"Counsellor Muromachi, do you know what the special skill of Counselor Yakushiji is?"
On one side, Nakamori Ginsan asked Muromachi Yukiko.
"I don't know, but although Yakushiji is annoying, she never talks big. Maybe she really has the ability to reverse this situation..."
Muromachi Yukiko looked at the increasingly corrupt battle situation and said.
After Okita Sougo was injured, Esdeath's suppression of the swordsmen of the "Jinbu Group" became even more obvious. Even if Muromachi Yukiko couldn't see clearly the movements of these lightning-fast swordsmen and great swordsmen, she could already see them. In the "real martial arts group", all the swordsmen fell to the ground and were chased away by Esdeath.
"Hey, that foreign woman, listen to me!" Yakushiji Ryoko took a step forward and shouted to Esdeath.
Is this a trick?
Not only Muromachi Yukiko and Yamazaki retreated from them, but Esdeath was also curious about what trick Ryoko Yakushiji wanted to use, and the movements of her hands couldn't help but slow down.
Anyway, the members of the "True Martial Arts Group" were almost crippled by her, so it didn't matter if she left them alone for now.
Yakushiji Ryoko looked at Esdeath without fear, and said arrogantly to her: "Tell me, how much money the other side will give you, no matter how much, I will pay three times!"
Muromachi Yukiko, Nakamori Ginzo, and Kishimoto Akira, who were waiting solemnly for Ryoko Yakushiji to perform his special move, stumbled and almost fell down. Yamazaki also looked like he was about to die. Junichiro Izumada felt like he was mourning his heir. Yakushiji Ryoko's approach would probably not be effective, but would intensify the other party's attitude. Okita Sougo was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing regardless of how critical the current situation was.
Okay, okay, as expected of Her Majesty the Queen, your ideas are indeed very clear!
Also laughing was Esdeath, standing on the highest point of the roof spire, laughing wildly.
"You guys are really interesting. It seems a pity to kill you..."
Esdeath stopped laughing, and then looked at Yakushiji Ryoko, a woman who had no martial arts skills but could look at her without dodging.
"Forget it, I had a lot of fun. You guys can go away, I won't kill you anymore."
Esdeath looked at the exhausted "True Martial Arts Group" swordsmen around him and stuck his rapier on the roof, which meant that the battle was over.
"You haven't answered my question yet. How about doing something for me for three times the price, just for one night?"
The crisis was temporarily over, but Yakushiji Ryoko did not give up at all, but continued to stare at Esdeath.
Esdeath's hand was placed on the rapier, and the people of the "True Martial Arts Group" hurriedly braced themselves to prevent Esdeath from suddenly attacking.
Even if they guard against it, they may not be able to defend it.
Sure enough, Esdeath was standing at the top one moment, and the next moment she appeared in front of Yakushiji Ryoko, with her thin sword pressed against Yakushiji Ryoko's shoulder.
"I've already planned to let you go, why don't you just go back?"
Esdeath looked at Yakushiji Ryoko with cold eyes and said.
Yakushiji Ryoko was calm and composed. Instead of retreating and dodging, she took a step closer to Esdeath in response to Esdeath's sword. The sharp tip of the sword pierced Yakushiji Ryoko's shoulder. Red blood seeped out and flowed smoothly. He slid the sword towards Esdeath.
"Counselor!"
Junichiro Izumida was shocked, and all the swordsmen of the "Shinbu Group" also raised their samurai swords and wanted to come up to rescue Ryoko Yakushiji. Even Yamazaki, who had always said that he was just a commentator, also drew his saber and was always ready to fight.
Ryoko Yakushiji waved his hand to stop everyone. Because the movement was too big, the suit jacket on his shoulders slipped off and landed on the roof with a muffled sound.
"I'm talking about something, shut up!"
Ryoko Yakushiji said forcefully, while looking at Esdeath with firm eyes: "You haven't given me a clear answer yet! Or, what price do you want to pay to do things for me?"
"I won't do things for people who are weaker than me. You have no right to order me! Get out of here before my mood gets worse!"
Esdeath's words have been made very clear, but Yakushiji Ryoko is not someone who backs down easily. She looked at Esdeath calmly, not giving in, and allowed the blood to flow out, even to the point of dripping. On the hilt of the sword.
Reaching out and dipping his fingers in the blood dripping down the sword, Esdeath took Yakushiji Ryoko's blood into his mouth and tasted it carefully, raising the corners of his mouth slightly.
"It was delicious."
Esdeath said to Ryoko Yakushiji with satisfaction.
Even such a move still failed to shake Yakushiji Ryoko at all. Instead, she raised her head proudly and said: "Of course, this is my blood!"
The two of them seemed to be playing a game, and whoever wavered first at this time would be the loser.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, a young man crawled out of the attic window. He climbed up to the roof neatly. When Zhengzhi was satisfied, he suddenly discovered that the roof was a bit small and there seemed to be not much room for him to stay.
"Well, good evening!"
The boy looked at the group of people who were about to burst a small roof and said hello. It was Kudo Shinichi who arrived at the location recorded in Kidd's code some time later than Ryoko Yakushiji and Yukiko Muromachi.
"Adults do your work, kid!"
Yakushiji Ryoko glanced at Kudo Shinichi and scolded.
Even Muromachi Yukiko, who was not dealing with Yakushiji Ryoko, also said to Kudo Shinchi: "This classmate, this place is very dangerous now, please go back immediately!"
Her attitude was milder than that of Yakushiji Ryoko, but it still made Kudo Shinichi leave immediately.
I don't know when this place will become a battlefield again. It is too dangerous for a minor to stay here.
Seeing that Kudo Shinichi was indifferent, Yakushiji Ryoko frowned and said to Izumida Junichiro: "Izumida, take him away!"
"Yes, Counselor!" Junichiro Izumida instinctively agreed, but hesitantly asked, "But what should you do?"
"When did I sink to the point where you were worried? Get out of here!"
Ryoko Yakushiji said dissatisfied.
"Well, I'm Kudo Shinichi, a detective."
Seeing that the people here didn't like him, Kudo Shinichi quickly introduced himself.
He is confident and is a celebrity himself. As long as he shows his identity, people here will look at him differently.
Sure enough, after announcing his name, most people looked at him differently, but what surprised Kudo Shinichi was that it didn't seem to be the surprised and admiring look he often saw, but rather A look with an indescribable meaning.
He didn't know what this look meant until very later. The meaning contained in this look can be roughly translated as... why are you a **** again!
"Kishimoto, take this Kudo-san out of here."
Not only Ryoko Yakushiji, but Yukiko Muromachi also asked his cronies to drive away Kudo Shinichi.
For Yukiko Muromachi, Kudo Shinichi is also a troublesome figure who has been undermining the credibility of the police. On the one hand, she is grateful to Kudo Shinichi for all the help he has provided to the police. On the other hand, she also feels that Kudo Shinichi is too nosy. More than that, high school students should behave like high school students. Studying hard is the right way to go. Don’t always think about taking jobs from adults!
"Not just that boy, you all also get out of here. No one is allowed to come near this place except the boy named 'Kid' tonight."
Esdeath also spoke.
Currently, there are twenty people standing on this small roof, but there are only three people whose words have the most power, Yakushiji Ryoko, Muromachi Yukiko, and Esdeath. Her voice can even She is the biggest, because she is the strongest!
"Don't think about it anymore, just do things for me. If you are not interested in money, I can also provide you with other rewards." Yakushiji Ryoko asked Esdeath.
"I..." Esdeath was about to answer, but was suddenly stunned. Wait, when was she going to negotiate terms with the other party? She seemed to feel like she was being bypassed...
Then Esdeath smiled again. She didn't like twisty things, but she had to admit that the woman in front of her was very interesting, so she turned the rapier in her hand.
At this time, Esdeath's rapier was still stabbed on Yakushiji Ryoko's shoulder. The rotation of the rapier brought huge pain to Yakushiji Ryoko. This was the first time for Yakushiji Ryoko, who had been pampered since childhood, to suffer such pain. Beads of sweat were all over her face, but she held on without blinking or letting her expression look strange at all, just staring at Esdeath.
"May I have your name?"
Esdeath suddenly asked.
"Before asking other people's names, it's only etiquette to tell them your family name!"
Yakushiji Ryoko was not willing to let herself be at a disadvantage at this time.
"My name is Esdeath." Esdeath began to appreciate Yakushiji Ryoko's stubbornness and reported her name.
Is it ice or death? Ice and death really fit her name perfectly.
Yakushiji Ryoko thought silently in her mind, and then reported her name: "Yakushiji Ryoko."
"Very good, I remember this name." Esdeath took back his rapier.
"Counselor!"
Junichiro Izumida immediately stepped forward to support Ryoko Yakushiji, picked up the suit jacket on the ground and put it on for her, and took out a handkerchief to cover her wound.
Yakushiji Ryoko pushed Izumida Junichiro away, but she tied the handkerchief and continued to press it on the wound. She looked at Esdeath and said, "You haven't answered my question yet!"
"It's really troublesome." Esdeath sighed, "Can you leave quickly? Nine o'clock is coming soon. I want to ensure that when nine o'clock comes, no one else is here. Do you really want to force me to kill someone?" Corpse?"
The dizziness accompanying the blood loss reminded Ryoko Yakushiji that she had to deal with the wound as soon as possible, but she finally said to Esdeath: "Okay, we will leave here, but I also need to know why you are here to guard the clearing. I don't I think a master like you will take orders from others. Are you on the side of the Suzuki family? Are you the secret agent arranged by Suzuki Jirokichi to capture 'Kid'? But Suzuki Jirokichi is just rich, he has already stayed away from Suzuki The core of power in the family, it is impossible for a person like you to obey other people's orders just because of money, tell me why you are here!"
Esdeath was silent for a while, then chuckled and said: "It's nothing, it's just the owner's task!"
