"Red side! The woman who gave up her married life and found a place on the battlefield! Haruna, the devil's mother goddess!" The host shouted from the boxing ring, "Then, blue side! From a popular idol to a professional boxer, the battle song Ji! Dynamite Atong!"
He looked at the two people on the stage...an unknown creature and Atsumu-chan, and then looked at Shinyaji who was wearing the uniform of Atsumu-chan's bodyguard, a group of members of the Temple Mondori's bodyguard, and Gintoki beside him. Neither Kagura nor Jiang Cheng knew what to say.
"Is the threshold for becoming an idol so high now?" Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully.
"Come on! Atong-chan!" Shinpachi shouted.
"What's going on? It's better for him to stop. He's going in a strange direction." Gintoki said casually.
"Atsushi-chan just changed jobs to an idol who sings and fights!" Shinpachi retorted.
"It's dangerous for people to say things like this. The same goes for the ramen shop I often go to. [Let's try adding curry to the menu next time]. It went bankrupt not long after saying this." Gintoki looked at the stage. The fight has already begun... Atong-chan and the devil mother goddess said to each other.
"Search, search, search, idols, just do idol things well. Fixing unnecessary things will lead to a decline in popularity." Jiang Cheng took over the words.
"That kind of thing is impossible! I will always love Atong-chan!" Shinpachi retorted, but then continued, "Hey, Jiang Chengsang, why did Jiang Chengsang end up in a place like this?"
"Yeah, I was walking fine on the street. I don't know who pulled me over, and then I saw you." Jiang Cheng replied, looking at the boxing ring at the same time, and saw Atong-chan holding a guitar and being crazy. Beat that devil mother goddess.
"Speaking of which, doesn't Jiang Chengsang have an idol he likes? But judging from Jiang Chengsang, he shouldn't be the kind of person who chases stars." Shinpachi continued as a matter of course.
"Yes." Jiang Cheng replied.
"Let me tell you, there must be no... Oh!!!" Xin Baji was shocked, "Really?"
"Well, I like Sakai Spring water very much." Jiang Cheng nodded and replied seriously.
"...Well, it seems like no one dislikes her," Xinbachi adjusted his glasses, "Are there any idols who are active in the entertainment industry?"
"FPSgame has taken up too much of my time..." Jiang Cheng replied again.
"Ah, that's it..."
…
"What exactly is a dream? It's hard to have a dream, and it's sad to not have one. But on such a thorny road, I was deeply moved by the sight of you who opened the road with your own fists!" As he said that, Kagura jumped directly. Get in the boxing ring.
"Hey, Kagura-chan, are you stimulated by something?" Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully.
"Ah, probably..." Xin Bajie replied.
"Oh! Someone has broken in! Who is it?" the host shouted from below.
"My name is Anthony Kagura! I am willing to help Atong-chan for some reason!" Kagura stood in front of Atong-chan and said with a ferocious expression.
"Then, I'll leave first..." After saying that, Jiang Cheng covered his face and walked out of the auditorium, and walked straight towards the door.
Gintoki: "Me too..."
Xin Baji: "Me too..."
Just as the three of them were approaching the exit, they suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Kagura, what are you doing! Why don't you become a housewife! Don't you want excitement?!" Sougo stood in the audience and shouted towards the boxing ring, but after he finished shouting, he saw Jiang Cheng beside him With Gintoki et al.
…
"What a chance encounter. I didn't expect that you are also interested in fighting skills," Sougo, dressed in casual clothes, leaned to the side and looked at the trio of Jiang Cheng and Wanshiwu. "I especially like women's fighting. Women show their full body. The ugly expression on his face and the way he is holding on to it are really hilarious.”
Jiang Cheng nodded calmly in agreement.
"What are you interested in? Are you a sadist?!" Shinbachi roared, and at the same time looked at Jiang Cheng, "Did you nod just now! Hey!"
"Aru is the worst guy who laughs at people who work hard." Kagura curled her lips and said, "Guys who hinder the final battle are not qualified to see fighting skills."
"The guy who just brazenly hindered the game has no right to say this." Gintoki patted Kagura's head and said.
"Stop talking about this, let me tell you a few people. If you have time, can you go somewhere with me? There is a [program] that is more interesting." Sougo asked.
"I'm not interested in unknown adventures or anything like that, so I'll go back first." Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said.
"Huh?" Sougo continued, "That's a pity. It was a fighting game that was countless times more exciting than this one. I thought you would like it, boss."
"Really?!"
"Well, just come with me and you'll find out."
…
"Hey, hey, where is this place?" Gintoki asked, following Sougo.
At this time, Jiang Cheng and the Wanshiwu trio followed Zongwu and turned east and west into a remote alley.
"Everyone, this is a social gathering place for the residents of [the other world]. People outside can never see everything here." With that, Sougo took everyone to an underground boxing ring.
"This is... the underground arena!" Gintoki murmured as he looked at the cheering audience and the arena below.
"[Purgatory Pass], held here... a real life and death battle." Sougo explained while looking at the two people fighting each other on the stage.
Finally, the fighting came to an end. A man with an iron rod and a red ghost mask won the game, while the other player had fallen to the ground. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
"How could such a thing happen?!" Xin Baji said in disbelief.
"Actually, those guys don't particularly like this kind of real fighting with swords and guns, but as long as it is linked to gambling, a group of hungry dogs will pounce on them." Sougo continued.
"This is indeed very exciting..." Jiang Cheng said with narrowed eyes, "No wonder I smell such a strong smell of blood from outside. I'm getting excited for some reason. Gintoki, do you want to place a bet?"
"I don't have that kind of hobbies, I said." Gintoki waved his hand and said, "For me, a small steel ball can satisfy me."
"What if you let us watch such disgusting things and make us unable to sleep? You're such a weak soul!" Kagura grabbed Sougo's neck and shouted.
"Isn't this obviously a crime? Okita-san!" Shinpachi said from the side, "You are also a law enforcer after all!"
"It's because of the law enforcers that we can't take action. In fact, just like Yoshihara where this guy is, there is always a powerful force behind such things." Sougo glanced at Jiang Cheng and continued.
"You mean the shogunate is also colluding?" Gintoki asked.
"If we act rashly, our real selection team may collapse overnight. I really envy you who are free." Sougo replied.
"Speaking of which, I don't want to be a helper for you guys." Gintoki said without thinking.
"It's so strange. I thought you and I were of the same kind... we would hate this kind of thing to the point of wanting to vomit. Look over there," Sougo said, looking at the naked man wearing a red ghost mask on the stage. "The strongest fighter in Purgatory Pass, Kidomaru. If you investigate him, you may find some clues."
"Hey!" Gintoki was about to speak out but was interrupted again by Sougo.
"Don't worry, this is just a personal commission from me. The Shinsengumi has nothing to do with it. Only I know about this place. So, please keep this matter a secret from Kondo-san and Hijikata-san." After that, Sougo also glanced at Jiang Cheng, "Also, it would be very convenient if you take action, wouldn't it? This big shot in Yoshiwara seems to be your friend, right? He destroyed the Purgatory Pass in one fell swoop, and finally pushed everything to Yoshiwara, and the shogunate also You have nothing to say, right?"
"Hey! You have a good idea," Jiang Cheng said with a sneer.
"Ah, it seems that I accidentally said what I was thinking." Sougo looked surprised, "Well, that's it."
"Tch, I'm curious about what the background is about? A senior official in the shogunate? Or something else?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"[Tiandaozhong], have you heard of this name? Using the general as a puppet government, manipulating and changing Edo at will, he is the guy who holds the real power of this country." The Fourteenth did not know when he stood behind everyone and said. , "This low-interest fighting arena is the playground for those guys from the [Tiandaozhong]."
With that said, Fourteen looked at Sougo at the front and joked: "Thank you for not forgetting to work on your days off. How come I didn't know you are such a diligent workaholic before?"
After saying that, Fourteen took Sougo's collar and left, but he still turned around and reminded him: "Forget everything Sougo told you just now. Goodbye."
"This kind of..." Xin Baji has not recovered from what Shi Shi just said.
"Hey, calm down." Gintoki said.
"I'm already very calm..." Xin Baji retorted.
"I'm not talking about you!" Gintoki said and looked at Jiang Cheng, "Calm down! Jiang Cheng!"
From the moment he heard the words "Tiandaozhong", Jiang Cheng lowered his head and said nothing, but only Gintoki knew how painful Jiang Cheng was, who was suppressing the crazy murderous intention in his heart.
"Jiang Chengsang, you..." For a moment, Xinbaji felt as if he felt the murderous aura he had felt in Jiang Cheng before.
"I'm fine," Jiang Cheng raised his head and said with a smile, then turned around and walked out.
"Jiang Chengsang, he... after all..." Xin Bajiu murmured.
"It's so cold, Aru!" Kagura said with a shiver.
"Really, things are getting more and more troublesome! These gangsters really make trouble for people!" Gintoki spat and cursed.
"Hey? Yin Sang, are you going to interfere in the affairs here?" Xin Baji asked in surprise.
"The trouble isn't here," Gintoki said, looking at Jiang Cheng's back, "it's that monster..."
