"Moths travel through darkness. In the deep darkness, moths just fly blindly. Fearing darkness and seeking light are just blindly..."
"The moth that found the light flew toward the light. However, at that time, the moth had nothing to do with its own consciousness, and it could no longer escape the light."
Following the monologue of Okada Shinzo or Renzhan Shinzo, on this Edo night, all members of the Ghost Army appeared. The ghost soldiers headed by Takasugi stood on the deck of the spacecraft, looking at the night sky.
"Everyone, please be sure to be absolutely foolproof!" Takeshi Bianpingtai reminded.
"Don't worry, senior." Kurushima Matako replied casually, playing with the two guns in his hands.
"The only people who move on the surface and in the light are those below." Heshang Wanqi said.
"Let's go, our legendary curtain has been opened..."
…
A few days later, Yoshihara.
Jiang Cheng lay on the roof and looked up at the moonlight obscured by a cloud in the sky.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Yue Yong asked as he jumped up.
"What are you doing? Of course, admiring the moonlight." Jiang Cheng replied casually.
"Indeed, if it were Yoshihara in the past, this kind of scenery would be really uncommon." Yue Yong replied.
"I always feel like it's a little too quiet..." Jiang Cheng murmured.
"Quiet? What nonsense are you talking about?" Yue Yong said with an idiotic look in her eyes, pointing at the bustling crowd on Yoshiwara Street.
"That's not what I'm talking about..." Jiang Cheng was speechless, turned his head and continued angrily, "What about you? Don't you need to go on patrol?"
Just as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Yue Yong jumped down.
Looking at Yue Yong's back, Jiang Cheng was a little confused.
"What a strange guy."
Just as Jiang Cheng finished sighing, he heard Yue Yong's voice coming again.
"I heard that a murderer appeared on the streets of Edo recently. Don't let some strange guy kill you accidentally."
…
On the other side, Gui, who was walking on the bridge wearing a monk's bamboo hat, was suddenly stopped by someone.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but you must be His Excellency Katsura Kotaro, right?" Okada Shinzo, wearing a bamboo hat, stood behind Katsura and said.
"You got the wrong person." After saying that, Gui was about to leave.
"Don't worry, I'm not a lackey of the shogunate or anything like that." There was a hint of joking in Okada Shizo's voice.
"Even if it's a dog, can there be a mad dog that wants to suck blood?" Gui said without turning his head. "Recently, people often kill people on the street just to test the knife. However, you'd better choose an opponent who can handle it."
With a chuckle, Okada Shizo held the knife at his waist and took a posture. Said: "Unfortunately, my partner and I both want to taste the blood of a master like you. So, can you give me a try? By the way, comment on the difference between my sword and that beast... "
With that said, Okada Shinzo rushed towards Katsura.
"That sword is..."
Before Gui had finished speaking, Okada Shinzo had already rushed in front of Gui. He used the sword-drawing technique that he was proud of.
I have to say that Okada Shinzo's sword-drawing technique is really good, not only fast, but also precise.
Gui fell down before he could react.
"Alala, it turns out you only have this ability..." Okada Shizou sheathed his sword and said without looking back, "I thought I could get some comments, but it seems I overestimated you..."
After saying that, Okada Shizo grabbed a handful of Gui's hair that he had chopped off on the ground and continued to move forward without looking back.
When Okada Shizo walked away, Gui stood up again, looked at his short shoulder-length hair, sighed softly, and said: "Isn't this hairstyle a bit too risky? Although it saves a fortune It’s money to go to the hair salon, but is this style too risky? I’m really worried... "
…
The next day, noon.
"Jiang Chengsang, something bad is going to happen!" Before anyone could be seen, Xinbaji's voice came in first.
Jiang Cheng, who was fighting with the game, was startled.
Jiang Cheng put down the game controller and looked in the direction of the door, only to see Shinpachi and Gui's Q Taro appear at the door.
"What's the situation?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Well, Guisang, Guisang, he is suspected to have been killed by the latest knife murderer..." Xin Baji said anxiously, but did not say the word "kill".
"Hey, hey, I know, so go back quickly. I still want to continue playing my own game." Jiang Cheng replied casually.
"Hey!!!" Xin Baji rushed directly in front of Jiang Cheng and shouted loudly: "Aren't you and Guisang friends?! Why are you having such an attitude?!"
"Because, didn't you say it when you came in just now? It's suspected that he was killed, which means there is no evidence yet. Please wait until you find the body and notify me." Jiang Cheng replied casually, "When the time comes, I will attend with the gift money. It's for a funeral. So, please close the door when you go out, okay?"
"It's not like that at all! That's Guisang! Isn't he your friend?! Shouldn't he look anxious at this time?!" Shinpachi shouted, grabbing Jiang Cheng's collar.
"I don't know what you are talking about," Jiang Cheng patted Xinbaji's hand and said again: "Will Wig die in the hands of a murderer? Stop joking. Wig is not such a weak man."
"Why are you so sure?! Guisang has disappeared now! Only a bloody wallet is left!"
"Even if he really meets a man who is stronger than himself, he will grease his feet and find a way to escape. That man's ability to escape is not something you can just brag about." Jiang Cheng explained, "Then, I don't know how to escape at all. I believe there will be such a strong knife murderer."
"but… "
"Maybe he went to the widow's house again. I suggest you investigate the widows in the entire Edo. You can definitely find the wig." Jiang Cheng replied, "Also, don't go looking for anything to test the knife. murderer."
"Did you hear that? Elizabeth-san?" Xinbaji looked at Elizabeth aside and said, "Even Jiang Chengsang thinks so! So, you have to believe him too! So, let's start with the aspect of never-dead people. Let’s get it!”
[No, no need. I will go find Guisang myself.]Elizabeth lit up the wooden board, and then walked out without looking back.
"Wait a minute, I'll join you too..." Xin Baji shouted and followed him.
"Where did you get that wooden sign from..." Jiang Cheng, who stayed where he was, began to think about this problem.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Cheng finally stood up with a sigh, walked aside and picked up his umbrella.
"Do you still want to go?" Yue Yong leaned outside the door and took a puff of cigarette.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I just went to buy a game. This one has been cleared." Jiang Cheng replied casually and walked out without looking back.
Yue Yong stepped into the house and glanced at the eye-catching [GAME OVER] on the computer screen.
"What a man who is not frank at all..."
…
At the same time, Gintoki also accepted a request from his brothers and sisters at the [Forging House] to find [Yōsō Benizakura]. Immediately afterwards, they also began to search for traces of the demon knife.
…
Earth Defense Base, aka thrift store or second hand store.
"Demon knife? How could something like that appear in a thrift store?" the proprietress said casually while leaning on the bar.
"No, no, now is the era where demon swords are sold openly." Gintoki said, and then continued to search for something on the shelves.
"The ones you mentioned are all imitations," the landlady replied.
"I've been to many pawn shops but nothing. I thought it must have been sold, but now it seems that the purpose is not money." Gintoki put down the funny glasses he found in his hand and said casually.
"I don't know what kind of demon sword you are looking for, but I have heard legends about an interesting sword." The landlady turned to look at Gintoki and continued:
"You know about the murderer who tried to kill him with a knife? Everyone who encountered him was cut down. However, it seems that some people have seen him from a distance. It is said that the knife that the man held was not so much a knife. , I should say more like a living thing. Well, you should also be careful about that murderer with a knife."
…
It's nighttime.
The people who are looking for knife-wielding murderers on the streets can currently be divided into three waves. The first wave is Elizabeth and the new eight. The first wave is Gintoki, who got clues from the proprietress of the second-hand shop, and Jiangcheng, who is wandering on the street.
As for Kagura and Joharu, they are looking for Katsura's scent.
…
"Report! Senior Elizabeth! The fried noodles and bread are here!" Xin Baji hugged a bag of fried noodles and shouted loudly at Elizabeth, who was holding a knife on his back.
[What I want is croquette bread]
Elizabeth took out the wooden sign without looking back.
"Well, the croquette bread was sold out, so I bought something similar. I'm so sorry!" Shinpachi explained.
Saying that, Xin Baji took two steps forward, came behind Elizabeth, and said: "How is it? Has the knife test murderer appeared? But I always feel that it is a bit risky, so I asked Gui directly to the knife test murderer. Sang’s matter, and it’s not certain that the murderer is the knife-wielding murderer, right?”
As soon as Xin Baji finished speaking, Elizabeth pulled out the knife and swung it at Xin Baji. Fortunately, Shinpachi had quick eyes and quick hands, and he quickly dodged aside.
"What are you doing?!" Shinpachi shouted as he sat on the ground in shock.
Elizabeth, who evolved into a thick-browed girl with a cigar in her mouth, raised a wooden sign: "Don't stand behind me."
"What a mouthful! He obviously has a body that can't be distinguished from the front and back!" Shinpachi scolded.
But just then...
"Hey," the officer who was patrolling the streets noticed Xinbaji and Elizabeth, "What are you doing in a place like this, you bastards? You are such a suspicious guy..."
"What, it turned out to be an official, don't scare me." Xin Baji said happily. The shock just now really made Xin Baji sweat in cold sweat.
