"It seems that we have already discussed it..." Jiang Cheng chuckled.
"Hey, when is the next competition?" Fourteen turned away and looked at Jiang Cheng.
"When do you want it to be?" Jiang Cheng raised his head and asked with interest.
Hearing the sound, Fourteen lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then said slowly: "One month, one month later."
"Okay," Jiang Cheng smiled, then stretched out his hand to make a money gesture, "Money..."
"Stop joking!" Veins popped up on Fourteen's face instantly, and he roared with white eyes: "Before that, give me back the 58 million I got from my box office, you bastard!"
"Fifty million? What fifty million?" Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully.
"Why did you lose eight million with just one mouthful?" Fourteen rolled his eyes and shouted, "Give me back the fifty-eight million I share from the box office!"
"Five million and eight hundred thousand? What five million and eight hundred thousand?" Jiang Cheng asked again.
"Hey, you guys did this on purpose, right?" Fourteen picked up Jiang Cheng's collar, gritted his teeth and continued bitterly: "Anyway, give me a lot of money, and I can't get it. It doesn’t matter, just put it all into next month’s competition!”
"I understand," Jiang Cheng broke away from Shi Shi's hand, then folded his hands and nodded to himself, and continued: "Since it is the request of the deputy chief of the real selection team, then I will reluctantly agree. In fact, I have already thought of very fair and reasonable rules of the game.”
"Huh? Really?" Xin Bajie on the side asked doubtfully.
"Ah, save... no, it's completely fair rules of the game!" Jiang Cheng replied seriously.
"You obviously wanted to save money just now, right?" Shinpachi said with an expressionless expression while squinting his beady eyes, "You definitely just want to save money, right?"
"That's the draw!" Jiang Guo declared decisively.
"Wash!" Fourteenth took out the rocket launcher from behind and pressed the trigger at Jiang Cheng without any hesitation.
boom! !
Ignoring Jiang Cheng, who was lying on the ground in the distance, covered in black and twitching after being bombed, Fourteenth turned his head to look at Xinbajia and slowly said: "Hey, glasses boy, Zhai Fourteen said, give me You have one month to prepare. The next time is the real showdown. Also, I will train him intensively this month, so be prepared."
"Hijikata-san, but Zhai Shishi..." Xinbachi started to speak but stopped.
"Anyway, it's a little different from what that bastard said," Fourteen glanced at Jiang Cheng on the ground, and continued: "Zhai Fourteen really had to make up his mind before switching to the field at the end. Maybe according to the development just now, he Maybe he will actually become a Buddha. But..."
Fourteen's expression began to become a little fierce, and he continued: "It doesn't matter! If he existed from the beginning, it means that he is me! No matter the memory or the name is the same, it is just me with a completely different personality! Me! Absolutely He is not allowed to disappear in that way!"
"I don't agree with this cunning way of relying on others' strength from the beginning, and then switch to the stage at the most delicious moment in the end! Hijikata Jushiro doesn't agree! So!" Shizuo raised his head with a serious frown on his face. He looked at Xin Baji seriously and continued:
"At least, let me work hard from the beginning! If I want to truly live, let me work hard with my own strength from the beginning! In every moment!"
"Hijikata-san..." Shinpachi's eyes widened, and it was hard to believe that these words came from the mouth of Shi Shi. After all, from the beginning, Shi Shi's purpose was just to make Shi Shi disappear, but now... …
"In short, that's it," Shi Shi calmed down his excitement and continued in a casual tone: "No one will help him in the next competition. Even if he is fully aware, he will give me the right advice from the beginning. Play on your own. This is Hijikata Jushiro’s insistence.”
"Of course, that's what I said, but I will train him well this month," Shi Shi said with a change of tone, "You should also be aware that he and I are still the same person after all, and he will never be better than me. Deal with it.”
"I will never lose!" Xin Bajia's eyes were full of seriousness.
"That's good." With that said, Fourteen turned around and started walking towards the gate of the venue step by step.
"Kondo-san, Aqi, and Sougo are gone." Fourteen reminded him without looking back, "Go back and train that kid."
Kondo chuckled, stood up and slowly followed in the direction where Fourteen was leaving. As for Yamazaki, after saying hello to Gintoki and the others, he also quickly caught up.
"Let's go, boss," Sougo glanced at Jiang Cheng, who was still lying on the ground, and then said hello to Gintoki: "Also, the boss of Wanshiwu."
After saying that, Sougo rested his hands on his head and walked leisurely towards the door of the venue.
…
After Sougo and the others left, Jiang Cheng led a group of Baihua members and the Master House trio to leave one after another.
"Jiang Chengsang, what will be the final outcome of House Fourteen..." Xin Bajia lowered his head and asked as he walked, slightly disappointed.
"Things like that are not on your mind," Jiang Cheng replied casually, "You just have to do what you should do and prepare well for next month's game."
"But..." Xinbachi hesitated, with a trace of unbearable expression on his face, "Aren't I just like an executioner?"
"In front of an awakened samurai, all you have to do is to also be awakened." Gintoki put his kimono pocket in his pocket and said slowly, "Don't think about anything else. Although it is cruel, this is You are a samurai. The next step is the battlefield between you two. If you hesitate, you will lose. If you are a samurai, remember it in your heart and never forget it."
"Samurai... huh..." Jiang Cheng slowly raised his head, looked up at the starry sky, and murmured something softly.
"Jiang Chengsang, what did you just say?" Xin Baji asked doubtfully.
"No, it's nothing," Jiang Cheng shook his head gently, "It's better to go back quickly, I'm already hungry."
"No, I'm quite full. I drank a third of the strawberry milk in the swimming pool." Gintoki said while rubbing his belly, and then let out a long burp.
"Haha, it seems that the happiest person today is probably Gin Sang," Xin Baji smiled, "After all, you can drink so much strawberry milk."
"Damn the natural roll, you didn't even leave a bite for me!" Kagura folded her hands and said with a look of displeasure.
Just as Kagura finished speaking, Shinpachi suddenly noticed something, and then stopped and looked blankly at the entrance of an alley beside the road.
"What's wrong?" Gintoki stopped, turned around and looked at Shinpachi with dead eyes.
"Jiang Chengsang," Xin Bajia raised his glasses and pointed at the familiar gift bag at the garbage pile at the entrance of the alley with an expressionless face, "What... is that?"
"Oh, that," Jiang Cheng replied casually: "The prize for third place, I originally thought it was FPSGAME, but I didn't expect all of them to be GIRLGAME. It was a mistake, so I had to throw them all away."
"This...is like this..."
"Okay, let's go. We've had a hard day today." After saying that, Jiang Cheng turned around again and started walking slowly forward.
…
"Um, speaking of which, is this path really correct?" Shinpachi followed Gintoki and asked doubtfully, "Where are we going now?"
"At the tram stop." Gintoki replied casually.
"I know it's a tram station, but is the station really over here?" Shinpachi asked again.
"I don't know Aru." Kagura shook her head.
"Huh?! No one knows the road, so are you walking in such a muddle?" Xin Baji said in surprise.
"It's no problem. The tram stop is right here. You can get there in a short walk." Jiang Cheng, who was standing directly in front of everyone, said without looking back.
"Are you serious?" Shinpachi narrowed his eyes and was speechless.
"This is an adult's intuition, trust me." Jiang Cheng made an OK gesture.
"Speaking of which, that should be the most unbelievable thing..." Shinpachi complained silently.
"What are you talking about? Glasses boy, Jiang Chengsama's intuition is not wrong!" A Baihua girl who was following Jiang Cheng complained unhappily.
"Swish, swish, swish!" The other Baihua ladies all agreed, "Follow Jiang Chengsama, you will never go wrong!"
"How much do you trust this person..." Shinbaji complained expressionlessly.
"Probably...it can't be wrong..." Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, then gently raised his head, looked forward, his eyes became determined, and repeated: "Yes, it can't be wrong, the road is not wrong." It would be wrong.”
"Are you not sure yourself?!" Xin Baji shouted loudly.
"Okay, okay, anyway, if I say it can't be wrong, it won't be wrong." Jiang Cheng smiled and waved his hand, "I'm not old enough to know the road yet."
Gintoki rested his hands on his hands, staring with dead eyes, and followed the crowd boredly, with his face raised and his eyes staring blankly at the sky, as if he was thinking about something, and he seemed to be simply distracted...
As a result... everyone took a long detour that day before returning to Kabukicho...
One month later.
The official fan club of Temple Gate decided to hold an extended battle (Pianist on the Field), but this time, Jiang Cheng did not participate. Although Shinpachi reminded Jiang Cheng before the registration deadline, the latter did not participate at all. interest of.
I heard that the competition was very fierce. The general selection team led by Zhai Shishi and the Temple Gate Guards led by Shin Yaji once again rushed into the finals.
But something different is that this time, from beginning to end, it was all the efforts of Zhai Shisi and his partners, and he no longer relied on Fourteen.
The result of the game seemed to be that both sides were announced by Atong-chan as official fan clubs at the same time, but both sides rejected it at the same time.
Moreover, after that, Jiang Cheng never heard any news about Zhai Shishi again.
…
On a rest day after that, Yoshihara and Jiang Cheng were in their rooms.
"Boss, what do you think happened to Zaku Shishi in the end?" Sougo asked casually while holding a game controller to control the characters on the monitor.
"Who knows..." Jiang Cheng responded casually.
"Have you really become a Buddha?" Zongwu asked again.
"Maybe," Jiang Cheng smiled softly, "Maybe he's just lurking. Maybe one day we can see him again."
Just as he said that, the game was over. Jiang Cheng put down the controller in his hand and picked up two wine glasses filled with white wine from the side.
"Would you like a drink on your day off?" Jiang Cheng extended a glass of wine to Sougo.
"It's really unusual. The boss invited me to drink." Sougo put down the game controller and took the wine from Jiang Cheng's hand.
"I just wanted to have a drink suddenly." Jiang Cheng looked at the wine glass in his hand and sighed slightly, then raised his head and drank it down.
"It just so happens that I suddenly want to have a drink today. Even if it is a strong drink like this, it doesn't matter." As he said that, Sougo raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
[Farewell, fourteen.]Jiang Cheng and Sougo said something in their hearts at the same time...
…
At the Zhensheng Group's camp, Shi Shi is sorting out the "relics" of Zhai Shili. Several days have passed since Zhai Shili disappeared, and Shi Shi's life seems to have returned to normal.
But I always felt that something was missing, as if something that had always existed in my body was suddenly lost. Fourteen always had this feeling.
Closing his eyes gently, Shi Shi once again came to the depths of his mind. This was the first time he came here since Shi Shi disappeared from the house.
Nothing has changed, it is still a broken cave, and deep in the cave is still a small cage. But something was different, the cage was empty and the man was no longer there.
Gently opening the door of the cage, Fourteen walked in slowly, looking at the familiar dagger on the ground. In the end, Fourteen still couldn't hold it back, holding his forehead, two lines of clear tears running down his fingers. It slowly flowed down his cheeks.
"Fool… "
