Feeling restless and fearful? Can't think of the right words to describe it.
All in all, I have been feeling very unsettled since early this morning.
Maybe it's because the surveillance on Natsume Sōhachiro has been fruitless, and I can't help but feel anxious... Aomori explained it to himself.
Counting today, the surveillance of Natsume Sohachiro has been going on for several days.
Continuous round-the-clock surveillance has been carried out, and as a result, so far, Natsume Sōhachiro has not been seen coming into contact with any suspicious person.
No results have appeared yet... Such a situation made those at the top begin to put pressure on Qingdeng.
Originally, these superiors, who did not seek merit but sought no fault, and only wanted to use the most conservative means to investigate, were very opposed to Aonto doing such an extremely error-prone thing as "investigating Sohachiro Natsume".
Now that Aoto's investigation of Natsume Sōhachiro has been fruitless, those at the top will inevitably start to make irresponsible remarks about Aoto.
Look, I said it all, right? Natsume Sōhachiro has nothing to investigate, so you won’t listen! Look, manpower and precious time were wasted. Although those superiors did not tell Qingdeng so clearly, Qingdeng could read such thoughts from the looks they cast recently.
Qingdeng didn't care about the pressure from his superiors.
No matter what his superiors say, Ayoto still firmly believes that the weird Natsume Souhachiro is the key to finding Zonazi, so he is unwavering in his thoughts and has no intention of changing his current method of monitoring Natsume Souhachiro around the clock. .
While Kinoshita Mai was leaning against the alley wall with her eyes closed to recuperate, Aoto, who had hidden his figure in the shadow of the alley, continued the task of "surveilling Natsume's house" meticulously, keeping his eyes fixed on the door of Natsume's house.
At this time, Kinoshita Mai, who had just closed her eyes to rest, suddenly opened one eye slightly, and then used the opened eye to quietly look at Qingden's face next to her.
Looking at Aonto's face, which was extremely serious because he was concentrating on monitoring the Natsume family, a... strange emotion appeared between Kinoshita Mai's brows.
The hands were folded in front of him, and the fingers were clasped together. Her toes, as cute and tender as white lotus root shoots, scratched the flat wooden clogs under her feet.
Aoto's investigation of Natsume Sohachiro was approved by the government.
Therefore, since he does not need to act secretly, he naturally does not need to dress up as a "little fox monk".
Similarly, Mai Kinoshita, who comes to assist Aoto in an open and honest manner at Aoto's request, does not need to put on any disguise or change into the clothes of a "cat monk".
In order to keep herself cool, and to facilitate movement, tonight... no, it should be said that during the past few days when she was responding to Shimo Aoto's request for assistance, Kinoshita Mai had been wearing a refreshing and cool bright red thin yukata without socks. Her fair feet were wearing a pair of flat clogs with red buttons.
"Huh? Miss Kinoshita, what's wrong?"
Qingden's peripheral vision caught Kinoshita Mai's gaze.
"Ah, no, nothing..."
Kinoshita Mai hurriedly turned her gaze away from Qingto.
"I just... I think you are so conscientious and responsible, Mr. Ju."
"Obviously the other officials have the attitude of 'I'll be fine as long as I didn't make any big mistakes'."
"You are the only one who takes this seriously."
When Mai Kinoshita first came to help, Aoto mentioned to Mai Kinoshita the disgusting attitude of his superiors that "as long as no big mistakes are made, that's all."
"It's not a big deal." Qingdeng laughed dumbly, "After all, Miss Zuo Nazi... can be considered my friend for the time being."
"Even if we don't mention the futile things like 'official responsibilities'."
"Just the reason of 'finding friends' is enough for me to do my best in this matter."
Miss Zuonazi... When he heard this name from Qingteng's mouth, the strange emotion that just appeared in Kinoshita's brows resurfaced again.
Kinoshita Mai, who clasped the fingers of her hands together again, moved her eyes downward, looked at her toes that were like white jade petals, and said softly in a... somewhat uneasy tone:
"Tachibana-kun, are you and Chiba Zuo... very good friends?"
"Huh? It's not like we have a good relationship." Qingto, who only regarded the question raised by Kinoshita Mai as an ordinary chat, answered casually without thinking, "Strictly speaking... maybe she and I are not related to each other. She is considered a friend. Since I met her, I have only spoken to her for a while."
"I know her brother Chiba Jutaro very well."
Hearing Qingden's answers... Kinoshita Mai pursed her lips slightly.
The eyes that were as beautiful as black crystals were rippling, revealing an emotion that... could be barely interpreted as "lucky".
Then, Kinoshita Mai suddenly froze, then raised her hands and slapped her tender face hard from left to right.
"Miss Kinoshita?" Qingden quickly cast a doubtful look at Kinoshita Mai.
What are you doing Aoto asked Kinoshita Mai with his eyes.
Kinoshita Mai, who understood Aoden's eyes, smiled awkwardly.
"I'm punishing myself."
"While you, Mr. Ju, are seriously thinking about how to save people, I am thinking about some random things... It's really inappropriate."
"While punishing myself, I also remind myself: I am here to help you, Tachibana-kun, to save people. Compared with human life, all other things are trivial. Focus on saving people first, and other things will wait for them. We’ll talk about it after we’re rescued.”
Kinoshita Mai's tone contained a hint of guilt.
have a bee in one's bonnet? A mess?
Qingto, who didn't quite understand what Kinoshita Mai was saying, blinked.
Just when Ayoto was still wondering what Kinoshita Mai was talking about just now... Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Ayoto caught a glimpse of a black shadow shaking in the direction of Natsume's door.
Upon seeing this, Qingden quickly turned his gaze away from Kinoshita Mai and stared at the shaking black shadow.
Kinoshita Mai, who noticed Aoto's strange behavior, quickly stood up straight and followed Aoto to look at the door of Natsume's house, and then she also spotted the black shadow.
Although tonight is a cloudy day with dim light and extremely poor visibility... such weather will not have any impact on Qingdeng.
Because Qingdeng has the gift of being able to see clearly at night: "Night Vision."
No matter how dark the space is, it is like daylight to Qingdeng.
After looking at the black shadow that suddenly appeared, Qingto immediately saw the full picture of the black shadow - it was Natsume Souhachiro!
I saw Natsume Sōhachiro alone pushing open the door of the mansion to a gap just enough for him to walk through, and then tiptoeing out of the mansion along this gap, then turning around and heading straight towards the east side of the street. Go on foot.
He looked left and right the whole time, looking nervous... as if he was alert to whether there were passers-by or followers around him.
After staying on guard for so many days... I finally discovered Natsume Sōhachiro's unusual behavior.
There was no need for any verbal communication...and nothing to communicate. Ayoto and Mai Kinoshita looked at each other at the same time with great tacit understanding. After looking at each other, the two walked side by side with silent and light steps, and slowly walked out of the dark alley where they almost lived these days. , closely following the mysterious Sohachiro Natsume...
…
…
Edo is very quiet at night.
Natsume Takahachiro walked non-stop through dozens of deserted streets, and finally entered an inaccessible street. He turned into a street surrounded by the rich night, and no one could hear him even if he screamed inside. remote alley.
"It's me, Natsume Sohachiro."
As he stepped into the deepest part of the alleyway in one breath, Natsume Sōhachiro lowered his voice and spoke solemnly to the darkness ahead.
"You came much earlier than scheduled."
The darkness in front of Natsume Sōpachiro "squirmed"... An extremely lean samurai with many acne marks on his face slowly emerged from the darkness and stood in front of Natsume Sōpachiro.
There was no greeting... After the "Acne Scar Samurai" appeared, Natsume Sōhachiro said quickly in an anxious tone that suppressed anxiety and fear:
"I have followed your instructions and handed over to you the donkey cart containing the sake ordered by Mr. Brett that was scheduled to be delivered to the residence today! It's time to return Ah Yue to me!"
When Natsume Sōhachiro said this, he stooped so much that he looked smaller.
This "shrunken" body coupled with his pleading expression... "extremely humble" is a perfect word to describe Natsume Souhachiro's current posture.
Faced with Natsume Sohachiro's plea... the "Acne Scar Samurai" remained unmoved and his expression remained unchanged.
He lowered his eyebrows, glanced at Natsume Souhachiro with an indifferent look without any emotion, and showed a faint smile.
"Mr. Natsume Sohachiro, thank you for your cooperation with us these days."
"We greatly appreciate your assistance."
"Don't worry, we will abide by the agreement and let Miss Natsume Yue go."
"We never wanted to harm Miss Natsume Yue from the beginning."
The words of the "acne scarred warrior" were like sunshine, illuminating Natsume Souhachiro's originally extremely gloomy face.
Natsume Sōhachiro's originally rather cloudy eyes became much clearer at this time.
However... it hadn't been long before the light appeared in Natsume Sohachiro's eyes. The scene that happened next in front of him made his expression and body become as hard as stone.
Snapped!
The "Acne Scar Warrior" suddenly snapped his fingers vigorously. Immediately afterwards, the darkness in front of Natsume Sōhachiro "squirmed" again.
Two warriors of different sizes stepped out of the darkness and stood beside the "pox warrior".
At the same moment, Natsume Sohachiro heard footsteps behind him.
Natsume Chonghachiro hurriedly turned his head and looked behind him, and then he saw two more samurai behind him at some point. These two samurai blocked his way back with their bodies.
"What, what are you going to do?!" Natsume Sōhachiro glared at the "Acne Scar Warrior" in horror, his voice trembled uncontrollably, and his tone became weird.
"Natsume Souhachiro." The faint smile that had appeared on the face of the "acne scar warrior" just now dissipated, and he looked at Natsume Souhachiro expressionlessly, "Next, we will carry out heavenly punishment."
"Wait, wait a minute!"
The blood on Natsume Sōhachiro's face was like ebbing tide, dissipating at an alarming speed.
"T-Tenchu?! Why? Why?!"
"Why... is there any need to ask why?" A coldness appeared on the corner of the "acne scar warrior"'s mouth, "The only condition we discussed at the beginning was 'when the matter is completed, you will let your daughter go', right?"
"When did you have the illusion that we would let your daughter and you go?"
"Do you think we will let you go, a national thief who dares to do business with Yi Di?"
"..." Natsume Sohachiro was dumbfounded.
He opened his mouth forcefully, as if he wanted to say something loudly... but his extreme panic caused him to forget how to control his tongue and vocal cords for a moment.
The "acne scar warrior" looked at Natsume Souhachiro's current expression with interest, and then sneered openly.
"Although you are a mother and don't want to live anymore, you can rest assured about your daughter. We will indeed let your daughter regain her freedom intact. I can guarantee this."
"We are not some Yakuza who kill innocent people."
"We have always only killed the barbarians, national traitors, and some people who had to sacrifice their lives to achieve the great cause of repelling the barbarians."
"You are the one doing business with Yi Di, not your daughter. So we will not treat your daughter as a national traitor."
"Okay, I accidentally talked too much... suffer death, you national thief."
Choking!
The "Acne Scar Samurai" pulled out the katana from his waist, then kicked the clogs under his feet and rushed towards Natsume Sōhachirou!
The distance between Natsume Sōhachiro and this "acne scarred samurai" was only 6 steps away.
Such a small distance... we can arrive in the blink of an eye!
In just the blink of an eye, the "pox scar samurai" has arrived in front of Natsume Sohachiro. He holds the knife high in the upper right position, and the sharp blade shines with a fascinating cold light.
Natsume Chonghachiro was stimulated by the cold light of the blade and finally regained control of his body.
But it's too late... the "acne scar warrior"'s sword has been slashed!
However, at this critical moment, like a piece of the black wall falling off, a tall black shadow silently jumped down from the alley wall next to Natsume Sohachiro and the "Acne Scar Samurai", steadily He fell firmly between Natsume Sōhachirou and the "acne-scarred samurai".
This dark shadow is none other than Qingdeng!
choke!
The clang of the blade being unsheathed dominated this narrow alley.
Qingden drew his sword quickly, and the Dingguishen that popped out of its sheath accurately hit the sword that the "pox scar warrior" had knocked down in mid-air.
Everyone in the alley was unexpected by Qingdeng's sudden appearance.
The unprepared "pox scarred warrior" only felt an unstoppable force spreading throughout his body along the blade.
Then in the next moment, his knife was knocked away directly.
The sword that cut off the "pox scar warrior"... Qingden quickly changed his moves.
He turned the sword that was used to hold ghosts and gods, and used the back of the sword to face the enemy. At the same time, he placed the blade horizontally on his right waist, and then rushed toward the armpit of the "pox warrior"!
When he passed through the armpit of the "acne scar warrior" and was about to pass by the "acne scar warrior", Qingden slashed across the belly of the "acne scar warrior" and pulled Xiyuan to the bottom with one slash.
If Qingden had used a blade to chop, the "pox warrior" would have been cut in half, and his intestines would have flowed all over the floor.
But because Qingteng was now facing the enemy with the back of his sword, the "pox scarred warrior" did not suffer any fatal injuries...but was so painful that he almost lost consciousness.
"Whoa...! Ugh, vomit, vomit -!" The "pox warrior", who had been hit hard in the stomach, vomited the dinner he had eaten tonight all over the floor. He covered himself like a soft-footed shrimp. He fell on his stomach and tried to make himself feel better.
Killing the "Pox-scarred Samurai" instantly with one blow, Aoden didn't say a word... He silently stepped on his back foot and rushed towards the other two samurai who were blocking him and Natsume Souhachiro!
He quickly approached the enemies in front of him like an arrow from a string.
When the two warriors saw Qingden rushing over, they hurriedly raised their hands to touch the swords at their waists.
One person successfully pulled out the knife. The other person was too confused with his hands and feet. Even when Qingdeng rushed to them, this guy couldn't successfully pull the knife out of its sheath.
The man who successfully pulled out the knife quickly raised the knife in his hand and slashed it towards Qingden.
Qingdeng made a mistake in his steps and easily dodged the man's knife. He ducked to the side of the enemy, aimed at the man's flank and swung the knife forcefully... This man also followed in the footsteps of the "pox scar warrior". Holding his stomach, he vomited forcefully and fell to the ground on his side.
The guy who just failed to pull out the knife in the first place finally succeeded in pulling out the knife... but it was of no use.
Qingdeng lowered his waist, raised his left hand and grabbed the wrist of his right hand that had just pulled out the sword. He used the grappling technique with one arm to throw him heavily to the ground and at the same time removed the sword from his hand.
The man who was thrown heavily to the ground by Qingdeng landed on his face... He watched helplessly as the dusty black ground got closer and closer to him, and then a shattering pain spread across his face. All over his body, countless gold stars were flying in front of his eyes.
The three "pox-scarred samurai" who blocked Natsume Souhachiro's path were all subdued by Aoto at lightning speed... The only enemies who were still standing were the two samurai blocking Natsume Souhachiro's retreat.
After the two of them saw Qingden kill the "Pox Scar Warrior" instantly, Ben hurriedly pulled out his sword and strode forward, wanting to support their companions.
However... after Qingteng knocked down all three "Pox Scar Warriors", the two of them had not yet rushed to Qingteng...
In the time it took to say another word, almost all of their companions were wiped out, and only two of them were left standing... The two people quickly stopped and looked at each other.
Although they were unwilling to do so, they still made a 180-degree turn and fled out of the alley.
However, as soon as they turned around, they didn't even see the scenery behind them clearly, and they felt a blur in front of their eyes - a bright red color floated in their eyes.
"Uh...!"*2
The two of them felt a sharp pain in their knees, as if they had been struck by some powerful whip. Their center of gravity was destroyed by the severe pain in their knees, and they both fell to the ground.
There was an intimate contact between his back and the ground beneath his feet.
It wasn't until they fell to the ground that the two men finally saw clearly who had knocked them to the ground - a girl wearing a bright red yukata, a pair of delicate bare feet and flat-soled wooden clogs with double red buttons.
It was Kinoshita Mai.
These two guys were in a hurry to escape just now, not caring about their buttocks. They didn't notice Kinoshita Mai who sneaked up behind them at all.
Because the attack on Kinoshita Mai was unexpected. Therefore, Kinoshita Mai kicked these two people to the ground almost effortlessly and without much effort.
At this time... Qingdeng arrived.
Qingdeng stabbed each of the two men on the ground with the back of his knife.
Then these two people also joined the "vomiting army". They felt that their intestines were about to twist together and the severe pain made them unable to stand up straight.
Finally, all the enemies in the alley were brought down... Qingteng let out a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Natsume Souhachiro, who was still standing there blankly.
"Tachibana, Mr. Tachibana...?"
Natsume Sohachiro blinked hard and saw clearly the appearance of the samurai who suddenly appeared and saved him.
"..." Qingto ignored Natsume Sohachiro.
After only glancing at Natsume Sōhachiro, he carried the Dingkishin and walked straight towards the "pox warrior" who was still retching.
Just now, he and Kinoshita Mai had been lurking on the side of the alley. They heard the entire conversation between Natsume Sōhachiro and the "Acne Scar Warrior" just now, word for word.
As Qingto expected... Natsume Yue was also kidnapped.
In addition to knowing that Natsume Yue was indeed missing, Qingto also heard many words that he could not ignore at all.
The Residence, Mr. Bright, Sake...
These words suddenly piled up the number of questions he wanted to ask Natsume Sōhachiro and the "Acne Scar Samurai" that were piling up in Qingto's mind.
Things are prioritized.
Although there are many questions I want to ask, I have to ask them one by one in order of importance.
Qingdeng decided to first interrogate the "acne scar warrior" with the question he wanted to ask the most.
The reason why he faced the enemy with only the back of his sword the whole time just now was to spare the lives of the "pox scarred warriors" to answer his question.
Qingteng put the Dingkishin back into the scabbard, then pulled out the wakizashi, then squatted down and pulled off the socks on the "pox scarred warrior"'s right foot.
"If you don't want to suffer, just answer my question."
"In addition to Natsume Yue, did you also kidnap Chiba Zuo? Where are the people you kidnapped now being imprisoned?"
He didn't have any mood or leisure time to exchange greetings or open remarks with these guys. Qingden directly asked questions in a neither sad nor happy tone, while putting the tip of the wakizashi's knife close to the toenail of the big toe of the "pox scarred samurai".
"..." "Acne Scar Warrior" didn't utter even a single word.
His stomach was still in severe pain, but he barely restrained his desire to vomit, raised his head with all his strength, and looked at Qingden.
Although he didn't say a word, Qingden had already understood what he meant from the "acne scarred warrior"'s eyes.
Don't expect me to say a word - he said this to Qingdeng with his eyes.
Since everyone said so... Qingdeng gave him the response he had prepared early in the morning without mercy.
Qingden pushed the wakizashi which was facing the gap between the big toe of the right big toe of the "pox scarred warrior" hard. The sharp tip of the knife penetrated directly into the gap between the toenail and the flesh, and the toenail cover was completely pushed open.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-!
! "
A shrill scream erupted from the mouth of the "pox warrior".
There was a steady stream of blood, and a large amount of blood flowed out from the toes where the toenails had been pushed open, and flowed all over the floor.
Fortunately, the area they are currently in is an almost uninhabited area, and no one lives here. Otherwise, the sharp and extremely miserable wail of the "Pox-Scarred Warrior" would have attracted many "spectators" immediately.
The extremely intense pain caused the "acne scar warrior"'s entire body to convulse uncontrollably.
When trimming toenails with a toenail clipper, accidentally cutting the flesh inside the toenail can cause severe pain. The entire toenail cover was opened directly with a knife... The pain was so painful that just imagining it made one's scalp numb.
Facing the "pox warrior" who screamed as if his entire vocal cords were about to be torn apart, different people showed different expressions.
The remaining companions of the "pox warrior" who were still lying on the ground were pale and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Natsume Sōhachiro showed a dumbfounded expression.
Kinoshita Mai, who was standing next to Qingteng, couldn't help but shrink her swan neck.
On the other hand, Qingdeng...he was unmoved.
"In addition to Natsume Yue, did you also kidnap Chiba Zuo? Where are the people you kidnapped now being imprisoned?"
After repeating his previous question in a tone that was neither sad nor happy, Aoto pointed the tip of the wakizashi's sword at the gap between the toenail of the next toe of the "pox scarred samurai".
…
…
Edo, somewhere——
A cockroach crawled by Zuo Nazi's feet.
Zuo Nazi raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at the thin cockroach crawling by her feet, and then half-closed her eyes again.
Before half-closing his eyes again, Zuo Nazi glanced at Natsume Yue beside him... Natsume Yue was drooping her head, her small chin pressed against her collarbone, her eyes dull and empty.
These days, she and Natsume Yue have been locked in this cellar.
He was not allowed to move around at will, and could only be tied to the wooden post with hemp rope.
There were almost no living people seen. The person I saw the most was a woman with thin lips. This woman seemed to be responsible for taking care of the two of them.
Although this woman often meets Zuo Nazi and the others, she has almost no communication with Zuo Nazi and the others. Every time, she hurriedly takes care of Zuo Nazi and Natsume Yue and then leaves.
I can't do anything, I can only sit here all the time; I don't even know what time it is; I don't know why I was tied here; I don't know if I will ever be free one day... intense A sense of powerlessness, a suffocating atmosphere.
Natsume Yue, who had been tortured both physically and mentally by this, could no longer even cry, and could only keep her eyes wide and lifeless.
Compared to Natsume Yue, Zuo Nazi's energy and spirit are undoubtedly much better.
Ever since he woke up, Zuo Nazi has been doing one thing persistently.
One thing that keeps Zuo Nazi in a positive spirit until now.
Something that could be their hope of escape.
--Well……!
Zuo Nazi almost screamed out due to the sudden soreness in his right thumb.
She quickly bit her lower lip to stop the urge to cry out in pain.
After the pain in her right thumb subsided a little, Zuo Nazi used the thumb and middle finger of her right hand to hold the iron nail she pulled out from the wooden pillar again, and continued to use the slightly blunt nail tip to cut and bind her hands. of twine.
Zuo Nazi has been using this iron nail to cut the hemp rope on her hand... except for sleeping and occasional rest, basically without interruption.
The hemp rope that bound her and Natsume Yue's hands was basically nearly two fingers thick, and the iron nail that Zuo Nazi pulled out by luck had a long history, and the rusty nail tip was very The ground is dull.
Using such a blunt nail tip to cut such a thick hemp rope... Zuo Nazi's fingers cramped countless times.
Just like just now - my thumb cramped again. If Zuo Nazi hadn't reacted quickly and bit his lip in time, he would have almost screamed.
Zuo Nazi relied on her tenacious willpower to endure countless pains during these days... and now, the rich fruits composed of these pains were finally about to bloom.
After using the hemp rope in his hand to cut the hemp rope on his wrist for a moment, Zuo Nazi twisted his hands vigorously.
The hemp rope that was originally tied very tightly has now become very loose because she has cut several ropes with iron nails.
Zuo Nazi took a deep breath, exerted all her strength, and pushed her tied hands to both sides - the hemp rope broke, and her hands were finally free again.
In the dark, Zuo Nazi touched her wrists, which were sore and swollen from the hemp rope. Although she was happy in her heart, her face remained calm.
Freeing up your hands... This is just the first step to a successful escape.
While Zuo Nazi was vigorously massaging the wrists of his hands that were still behind his back, he raised his gaze to look at the wooden steps leading to the cellar door not far ahead...
She silently clenched her right fist, letting the sharp nail head peek out from between her index finger and middle finger, and then...
"Uh...! Uh...! Uh...! Uh...!"
Zuo Nazi closed his eyes tightly, showing a painful expression while twisting his body crazily and screaming with all his strength.
Natsume Yue, who was frightened by Zuo Nazi's strange behavior, quickly turned to look at Zuo Nazi.
Miss Zuo Nazi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Natsume Yue asked Zuo Nazi with anxious eyes.
Zuo Nazi turned a blind eye to Natsume Yue's gaze and continued to twist her delicate body while screaming.
The mouth was tied with a cloth, so he couldn't make loud noises...but it was more than enough to make a sound that could be heard by the guards outside the cellar.
After a while, there were rapid footsteps on the stairs connecting the cellar room and the outside.
"What's wrong? What are you doing?"
A dwarf with a girdle on his waist walked quickly along the stairs to Zuo Nazi with an impatient expression.
"Smelly woman! What are you screaming about? Do you want to poop?"
Zuo Nazi raised his head towards the dwarf, stretched his neck, and kept opening and closing his red lips tied with a cloth strip, as if he had something to say.
"Tsk...it's really troublesome...!" The short man twitched the corner of his mouth and leaned down angrily, trying to untie Zuo Nazi's mouth and listen to what Zuo Nazi wanted to say.
At the moment when the short man leaned down, Zuo Nazi's eyes suddenly condensed.
Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her newly freed hands from behind her back with lightning speed, covered the dwarf's mouth with her left hand, and hit the aorta in the dwarf's neck with her right fist.
The dwarf's eyes bulged forward like goldfish, and countless red bloodshot eyes clung to the whites of his eyes.
When Zuo Nazi retracted his right fist, the nail heads between his fingers were covered with blood.
Punch out, punch back, punch out, punch back... Zuo Nazi kept repeating this set of actions.
She covered the dwarf's mouth with her left palm, preventing him from making any sound.
After punching the short man on the neck more than ten times, Zuo Nazi finally felt that the short man's body was "softening".
The dwarf, whose life force was constantly leaking out from the dozen bloody holes on his neck, rolled his eyes upwards... and collapsed to the ground like noodles, no longer alive.
"Huh...huh...huh...huh...huh..."
For a moment, Zuo Nazi's heavy breathing dominated the entire cellar.
Natsume Yue on the side now looked like she had seen a ghost, her eyes widened, and she looked dumbly at Zuo Nazi, who was now splattered with a lot of blood...
——I killed someone...
This was Zuo Nazi's first time killing someone.
Seeing the dwarf's dead expression, a strong sense of nausea surged out from Zuo Nazi's throat.
——Now is not the time to feel disgusted...!
After reprimanding himself in a stern tone, Zuo Nazi swallowed hard several times to resist the desire to vomit.
When she had calmed down a little, Zuo Nazi stretched out her right arm and pulled out the wakizashi from the waist of the short man who fell at her feet, and cut off all the hemp ropes on her and Natsume Yue's bodies.
"Miss Zuo Nazi..."
As soon as Zuo Nazi pulled off the cloth on Xia Muyue's face, Xia Muyue looked at Zuo Nazi blankly and murmured Zuo Nazi's name softly.
Her eyes, which had been lifeless at first, regained their sparkle.
"If you have anything to say, wait until you escape." Zuo Nazi squatted down and groped for the short man's body, looking for other weapons or other useful things.
The wakizashi currently being held by Zuo Nazi in his right hand seemed to be the only weapon the dwarf carried... He touched the dwarf from head to toe, but found nothing but air.
——Is this the only weapon that can be used...
Zuo Nazi lowered his eyes and glanced at the not-so-sharp wakizashi in his hand.
The two of them now only had the wakizashi as a weapon...but Zonazi did not show any signs of discouragement or frustration.
"Ayue."
Zuo Nazi took a deep breath, raised his eyes and stared at the stairs leading to the cellar in front of him.
"Follow me and I'll take you home."
Zuo Nako used his own clothes to wipe off some dirt on the blade of the Wakizashi blade.
The clean blade reflected a dazzling cold light.
Also shining brightly was Tong Ren, who was now full of determination from Zuo Nazi.
…
…
Zuo Nazi and Natsume Yue, with their waists lowered and their bodies lowered, walked out of the underground cellar where they had been imprisoned for several days one after another.
The long-lost breath of air hit his face... Zuo Nazi couldn't help but take several deep breaths.
She pressed her back against the wall next to her and stuck out her little head to look at the corridors to the left and right outside the wall.
The empty corridors were deserted, filled only with dense darkness.
After confirming that it was safe outside, Zuo Nazi waved his hand to Natsume Yue behind his butt.
Zuonazi's goal is clear - the door or window leading to the outside of the house.
This is a task that is difficult to say but not easy to say simple.
The reason why it is said that it is "not difficult to say" is because the connection with the underground cellar is naturally the first floor of the house.
Therefore, it is not particularly difficult for the two women who have just left the cellar and are on the first floor of the house to find doors and windows that can lead to the outdoors.
As for why it is said that it is "not simple even if it is simple"... the reason is also very simple.
There are many guards in this house.
Zuo Nazi suddenly heard voices coming from a room in front of him.
She quickly turned her head to signal Natsume Yue behind her to be silent.
Natsume Yue nodded vigorously, raised her two small hands to cover her mouth and nose, and tried her best to calm down her breathing.
The corridor adjacent to this room where voices are constantly coming from outside is the only way for Zuonazi and the others to pass...
I can't go around it... I can only go through it with all my heart!
Zuo Nazi let out a long breath silently, then gathered his mind and tiptoed forward.
As we got closer to the room, the sounds coming from the room became clearer.
"Damn...it's so annoying. Why are we sent to guard those two women?"
"Oh, I'm also very depressed. Everyone else can have a big fight at the residence tonight, but we can only stare at each other here."
"The reason why I joined the anti-barbarian group is to fight against those barbarians... I didn't come here to guard two stinky women."
"Okay, don't mention these depressing things. Speaking of which, is it time to change shifts? Whose turn will it be next to stand guard at the cellar door?"
"Me. Damn, the more I think about it, the angrier I get... I really want to go to the settlement to witness with my own eyes how those abominable Yi Di people were burned to death..."
…
Tonight, the settlement, the barbarian subjugation group, the burning of human beings...the combination of these words made Zuo Nazi's eyes widen little by little, and his steps slowed down uncontrollably.
Natsume Yue, who was behind Zuo Nazi, had a similar expression at this time. She was still covering her mouth and nose tightly, and looked at the room next to her with a shocked face where many people were chatting.
One after another, horrific conjectures emerged from Zuo Nazi's mind uncontrollably, as if they had a life of their own.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, leaving Zuo Nazi no time to take into account these crazy and terrifying conjectures in his mind - the sound of two groups of people's footsteps suddenly came from the corner ahead!
Even with Zuo Nazi's will and character, he couldn't help but be startled by the unexpected footsteps and his expression changed slightly.
She looked around quickly, trying to find a place to hide.
She and Natsume Yue were in an awkward position now... They were both in the middle of the corridor.
The empty corridor had no place to hide.
Those two sets of footsteps moved very fast... It was too late to return the same way!
The anxiety in his mind caused a drop of cold sweat to break out on Zuo Nazi's smooth forehead.
Suddenly, at this moment - Zuo Nazi suddenly discovered that there was a large hole in the ceiling that had been in disrepair for many years, just two steps in front of her.
And this big hole is just big enough for petite women like Zuo Nazi and others to get in and out...
If you continue to stand here like this, you will only be discovered... So Zuo Nazi gritted his silver teeth, leaned his head back, and whispered something to Natsume Yue...
…
…
"I pooped a lot. I feel like I've lost weight."
"Why are you so good at pooping? You can poop five times a day, and every time you poop a big poop."
"Maybe it's because my digestion ability is better."
The owners of these two sudden footsteps, which shocked Zuo Nazi and made his face change slightly, were a fat man and a thin man.
Listening to the footsteps and words of words from below ... Zuo Nizi now feels that his heart is jumping quickly.
At this moment, she and Natsume Yue were hiding on the ceiling of this corridor.
Except for climbing into the ceiling along that big hole, there is no one to hide.
Therefore, Zuo Nizi can only take risks, and simply discuss with Natsume Yue, and uses the method of "stepped on Xiamuyue's shoulder to climb on the ceiling, and then pull Xiamuyue to pull up." The danger rushed before the fat man and the thinner turned into this corridor, climbing into the ceiling.
Above the ceiling ... It is extremely dirty, and it is covered with dust that cannot be blown.
While left, the strong itchy feeling of the deep itching of the dust was flying deep in the nose.
This pair of "fat and thin group" did not speak out after chatting for a while.
Just when Zuo Nizi was thinking that he was hiding in the ceiling, the situation happened.
Because of hiding on the ceiling, Zuo Nizi didn't see it now -under the ceiling, the thin son suddenly frowned.
The lean that was frowned coldly, and looked down at the floor of the corridor ahead.
To be precise, watching the clusters on the ground like a thick dust group like wool.
This is the dust that Zuo Zizi was just climbing on the ceiling.
After thinness stared at these clusters of dust on the ground, he slowly raised his gaze, looked at the ceiling, and looked at the large holes on the same vertical line as these clusters ...
…
Zuo Nizi suddenly heard the footsteps below stopped.
The doubtful emotions have not yet formed ...
winter!
A knife that suddenly slammed into the ceiling from bottom to top, so that the doubts of the unsteady stake in Zuo Nizi's heart changed at the speed of electric light firestone!
This knife did not pierce the Zuo Zi ... but stabbed Xiamuyue!
The sharp blade directly cut through the flesh of Xiamuyue's right shoulder.
"Well……!"
Out of instinctual response, Natsume Yue screamed.
Her pain sound is very low ... but it is enough to make the fat man below and the thin man who is stabbing the ceiling with a knife clearly hear her sound and suddenly change her face.
The unexpected changes made Zuo Zizi for a moment, forgetting how to breathe.
When the body remembered how to breathe again, Zuo Nizi quickly stabilized his mind, and his eyes flashed with a decisive light.
I saw her coquettish body rolling, along the large hole, fell back to the ground under the ceiling. While falling at the same time, the potential energy was swinging at the time when she was falling. One hit, and then when the fat man did not respond, he entered his chest into his chest.
Although Zuo Nizi has launched an attack at the fastest speed ... but her movement is still half a step.
"There are thieves!" —— Before her blade fell, the thinner shouted this sentence with a clear and bright voice in time.
The room that had been talking about next to him was turbulent.
"Ayue! Go!"
The whereabouts have been exposed, then there is no need to hide it.
After Zuo Nizi greeted Xia Muyue out of the ceiling, he fled with Xia Muyue's hand.
At this time, the door of the room where many people chatted in it opened the sound of "Peng".
"Hey! Those 2 stinky women escaped!"
"What? How did they escape?"
"Don't care! Go to chase!"
…
The footsteps like waves of waves appeared behind Zuo Nazi.
Zuo's running speed is not slow than men.
However, ... Natsume Yue does not have the physical fitness like Zuo Nizi.
Even though she had done my best, she still involved the left of the left and slowed down the overall speed of the two.
In just a moment of effort, the Wu Yan warriors caught up with the two women! In desperation, Zuo Nizi could only exchange positions with Natsume Yue. She personally met the chasing troops behind her!
"Be careful! Mr. Shenye has a order, so you are not allowed to kill this woman! Use a knife back!"
In the darkness, the white blade flashed, and a knife slammed against her back with a knife, cut into the shoulder of Zuo Zizi's shoulder, and left the left. Don't breathe, the second white blade hit.
Zuo Nizi was not panicked, and his screen was condensed. She sank her body, opened her second white blade, and then returned to the other party fiercely, forcing the other party to retreat back.
At this time, a person suddenly turned to the front of the Zuo Zi, and he came with his back to the left.
The crackling knife sounded, fierce and powerful.
Zuo Nizi was unwilling to show weakly. Zuo Nizi's anti -dumped knife has skilled tricks and exquisite unloading skills.
The warrior who was turned away only felt numb in his palm, and his body opened his door, grabbing the flaws in this moment, Zuo Nizi sent a step forward quickly, silently stabbing the other party's shoulder.
The blade was sufficient in the flesh, and the other party yelled, and retreated, and Zuo Nizi retracted the difference.
Zuo Nazi is indeed a beautiful female swordsman with the beautiful "genius female swordsman".
She held a short threat in her hand. She also fought with a number of samurai at the same time in this narrow corridor.
But no matter how powerful Zuo Nizi is, it is difficult to cut the accident.
"Ahhh!"
There was a scream from Natsumeyue ...
Zuo Nizi hurriedly followed the voice, and saw a samurai who appeared in front of Natsume Yue's body with a knife!
Seeing Zuo Zi, he didn't hesitate -at the fastest speed he could achieve, he returned to Xiamu Yue's side, raised the knife to hold the warrior's attack that was originally cut towards Xia Muyue.
Zuo Nazi's reincarnation ... quite reluctant.
From 7 steps, I hurried back and dismissed the enemy's attack on the attack ... So forced to force myself to be detained for several days and become quite rigid. The weakness appeared in the lower market.
A samurai keenly captured the flaws that Zuo Nizi accidentally revealed. It is the "Hanging Eye Samurai" who is fully responsible for guarding Zuo Nizi and Natsumeyue.
I saw the "Hanging Eye Samurai" stepped forward, and Zuo Nizi, who hadn't adjusted the posture yet!
Zuo's Tong Kong's Tong Kong shrank slightly, and she knew that she had no time to fight this trick, and could only escape. But it was still half a shot, and the back of the "Hanging Eye Samurai" hit Zuo's left thigh.
There is nothing like a wide back and iron whip. The severe pain instantly spread throughout the left thigh of the left, and then spread the whole body of the left.
—— This person ... is a master ...
Whether it is a sense of awareness of the opponent's flaws, or this sharp sword method, it all declare that the "Hanging Eye Samurai" is a superb master of swordsmanship.
Zuo Nizi forbean the pain of his thighs, waved his knife to retreat "Hanging Eye Samurai", and then continued to escape Xiamu Yueyue out of the dynasty.
At this time, Zuo Nizi saw an old shelf with a tall person on the wall of the corridor in front of him.
The left -handed left of the brain was pushed to the ground to the ground, and the shelf that was pushed down to the ground had a certain blocking effect. The shelf was blocked, and Zuo Nazi took the opportunity to hold Natsume's hand and hurriedly fled out.
After so many accidents and setbacks, the two women finally found the door to the outside world.
Push the door and come to the outside world. Outside of the house is a completely strange neighborhood, and Zuo Nizi can only find a direction to escape.
"Is anyone?! Is there anyone?!"
While escaping, Zuo Nazi shouted, trying to call the surrounding residents. As long as he could call a lot of passers -by, the "Hanging Eye Samurai" and other people set up a rat.
However, no matter how she shouted on the left, she was quietly quiet ... No one responded to her shout, and there seemed to be no resident here.
The left that did not even dare to breathe in the left, after holding Xia Muyue across the two streets, the coldness of the left -the left of Zuo Zizi suddenly stunned, and then fell to the ground.
"Miss Zuo Nizi?" Natsumi Yue exclaimed the Zuo Nizi, "What did you?"
"It's okay ..." Zuo Nazi looked at the back of the left leg that had just been cut by the "Hanging Eye Samurai", "It's just ... it's just a bit ..."
Zuo Nizi thought that the left leg was tolerate. As a result, after dragging the leg and escaping, the pain on the legs did not decrease at all, but continued to intensify.
It has been hard to support it now, and Zuo Nizi is difficult to endure again ... Her left leg is now painful even if it is slightly affected by the muscles there, the severe pain can make her grit her teeth.
Zuo Nazi speculated that the bones of his left leg should be injured.
The string of footsteps full of oppressive force ... came.
Winter winter and winter ... like a heavy stuffy thunder.
Natsumeyue looked at the back desperately, looking at the "Hanging Eye Samurai" and others who appeared behind them again.
"Miss Zuo Nizi, hurry up! I help you up!"
Zuo Nizi, who was supported by Natsume Yue, looked at his legs solemnly, and then looked at the "Hanging Eye Samurai" and others in the back.
"... Ayue, my legs can't run anymore. You escape first and call someone to come. I'll give you time to escape."
Zuo Nizi pushed Xia Muyue, who was supporting her, and then faced the chasing soldiers.
"What ...?" Natsuki Yue looked at the Zuo Nizi, "Miss Zuo Nizi, what are you talking about! We want to be together ..."
"Ayue!"
Before Xia Muyue's words were finished, Zuo Nizi interrupted her words with impatient tone.
"Don't mother -in -law! Bad people!"
"I'm your master, it's my duty to protect my disciples!"
"My legs can't move! If the two of us escape together, both of us have to be finished!"
"Let's go!"
After all, Zuo Nizi pushed Xia Muyue behind him with a little rough action, and then stood with a knife, facing the chasing troops rushing towards her like the waves of the coast.
Because of the speed and slowness, the pursuit team of the "Hanging Eye Samurai" and other people is a long column. Because of the fastest running, the front is a very tall strong man.
——In two, four, six ... twelve ...
After counting the number of people who chased the troops, Zuo Nizi's original face was not very good -looking, and it became more dignified.
If it was not injured, Zuo Nizi still had confidence to barely fight twelve samurai with a poor threat.
However, her left thigh is now injured ... Without a leg, she picked up twelve samurai ... No matter how optimistic and self -deceiving, Zuo Nizi couldn't think of any positive words.
The Zuo Zizi, who clenched the teeth, opened his feet and set a posture. The movement of the left leg caused the pain of the stocks to spread the whole body of Zuo Zi.
Feel the pain of the left leg ... I did n’t come to the reason, a idea floated in the mind of the left:
——Is if my martial arts can be more exquisite, then the attack just now, I should be able to escape ...
The next moment, a piece of memory clip that was sealed deep in her mind was flashed in front of her eyes ...
…
(Miss Zuo Nizi, unless it is a person who is pitying of the gods, it is difficult to achieve great achievements in how to practice martial arts. Wherever you go, the road I want to follow is the road of mother -in -law's suspicious thorns. It will be difficult to bring me on the road like this.)
…
——I I should be fierce tonight ...
A strange sadness appeared in the eyebrows of Zuo Zizi's eyebrows.
If anyone can observe the current expression of Zuo Nizi ... it will be surprised.
The young Miss Chiba family who was frosty on weekdays ... At this time, there was a sad expression that seemed to be crying and pitying.
——I really ... I haven’t proved to that bastard yet. Even my daughter can be very powerful ...
Winter winter winter!
Step in the footsteps ... It's approaching!
The strong man who rushed to the front had rushed to the left of the left, and he had raised the knife in the palm of his palm!
Zuo Zi was half -eyes, took a deep breath.
Relying on the willpower forcibly suppress the mad left left of the madly rising from the heart, and the sharp light came out again under the eyes.
—— At least he also had to have the responsibility of the master to let Ayue escape safely ...!
Zuo's bite tightly bite the teeth, while making a momentum full of momentum, while holding the decisive will of "being at the same time", she rushed towards the strong man who chopped her with a knife.
Just at this time.
Just the next moment.
Yu Guang at the corner of Zuo Zizi's eyes suddenly glanced at some silver light flashed on her right side.
As the daughter of Wu family, Zuo Nizi is familiar with this type of silver light.
This is the light of the white blade!
Zuo Nazi Yuguang's eyes witnessed this incredible scene all the way -a silver light jumped high from the top of her house and jumped to the highest point of the air. The strong man in front of the left!
The silver light of almost a straight line was drawn through the body of the strong man, and the strong man's body cut from the left shoulder to the right hinterland!
The strong man opened his eyes and glanced at the lower body that had left with his upper body with a horrifying sight.
Holding this silver light is a tall figure.
This tall figure and the silver light in his hand landed steadily, falling between Zuo Nazi and a strong man who had been cut into two halves.
Zheng Mei rushed towards the Zuo Zizi of the strong man. Mimi was glared because of surprise. She wanted to stop her footsteps, but due to the effect of inertia, she could not give her this positive body in time. Stop.
Fortunately -this suddenly appearing tall figure, reached out and rushed over, let Zuo Nizi avoid falling.
"Miss Zuo Nizi, finally found you."
Familiar male voice ...
Zuo Nizi opened his red lips slightly, raised his head, and looked at the familiar face that was close to her in a long time with a soul -like appearance.
"Miss Zuo Nizi, let go."
The man let go of the left, then turned his body, and his hands were still dripping with blood, facing the remaining chase.
"It's okay now."
"Orange Jun ...?"
Zuo Nizi recited the name of the man softly.
