"Get up! Wig!" Kondo shouted loudly, but then he found a death message like "It's not a wig, it's Katsura" left on the side of Katsura's head. He continued with some uncertainty: "Hey, that's not a fake death. Is he really dead? He also wrote something similar to a death message!"
"Idiot!!" Mr. Matsudaira shouted loudly, "How could a person who was pretending to die be woken up by such a half-hearted shout! You have to wake him up with the belief of killing him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a angular stone as big as a head hit Gui's head hard, and blood... spread all over the ground in an instant.
Kondo complained loudly to the culprit Matsudaira on the side: "Hey! What if we really kill him?"
"How's it going? It's time to get up, right? In order to escape from prison, I pried off the rocks on the floor, and they finally came in handy."
"It's useless! He didn't get up at all! He can't stand up anymore, okay?!"
Just after he finished complaining, Kondo suddenly noticed something - it was the jailer who was approaching slowly, and he quickly reminded in a low voice: "Oops, the guard is here. What should I do, uncle?"
Matsudaira, who lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead while leaving a message similar to "Orangutan", whispered: "There is no other way. In this case, we have to pretend to be dead." (Kondo: Huh?) Encountered in the forest The approach is the same if you encounter a bear or an orangutan in a cage."
"I've never heard of this at all! Besides, isn't it me, the orangutan?! How can I fool you like this! Hey! Uncle..."
Kondo complained madly in a low voice, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized that the jailer was about to rush over, so he simply took a gamble and imitated Lord Matsudaira, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and left the words "It's not a gorilla, it's a gorilla, it's a gorilla, it's a gorilla" Death information.
Hearing the footsteps of the jailer stop in front of the cell, Kondo swallowed nervously and closed his eyes tightly to hold his breath.
Kondo felt happy when he heard the sounds of the jailers taking out keys and the sound of the tower being unlocked.
squeak-
Da, da, da, da…
After the sound of opening the door, there were footsteps getting closer and closer. The moment he heard the footsteps stop, Kondo cautiously opened his eyes and took a glance. However, at this glance, he found that the jailer in front of him was pointing straight at him with his sword raised. Stab it yourself! Kondo's eyes widened instantly and his pupils shrank...
…
In Edo at dusk, Nobume, who was walking aimlessly, suddenly stopped and at the same time tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword.
"Boss, put away your murderous intent." A long voice came from behind Xinnu, "Although we have severed our relationship once, now you and I are both loyal to the Heavenly Daoists."
"I have no intention of being loyal to that group of people again." Xinnu replied calmly.
"What about your master? They eliminated the major troubles of the new government one after another, and the people of Heaven were very satisfied. Only Matsudaira and Kondo are left, right? I think he plans to use their heads to kill the others. The reactionaries have all been printed out, and it looks like there are a few big fish mixed in with the fish. If you go against them and fall into a passive situation, let alone the bait, you might even get your whole wrist chewed off."
"Really? But I don't think your allegiance is to something like the Heavenly Daoists," Xinnu glanced slightly sideways at the figure behind her, "At least I have never heard that the Heavenly Daoists can also have disagreements. Also... when I left Yoshiwara... my memory was manipulated. What did I see? Was it manipulated because I saw something I shouldn't have seen? Who did it? Who is his owner? ?What kind of relationship does it have with you..."
"Who knows... I only know that the Heavenly Daoists want to completely abandon the Yatagarasu and replace it with... an eagle that can fly freely... "
Hearing the sound, Xinnu's pupils shrank suddenly, and even if she wanted to turn her head, she... was already gone.
Xinnu's pupils were shaking, and she stuttered and said: "Impossible...impossible...the Heavenly Dao people would not...nor dare to do that. Who on earth...who on earth...who gave them the power to compete with that man?"
Thinking about it, Nobunaga thought of a man who was both the least likely and the most suspicious...
"Could it be that...it's him!"
…
Black Rope Island on the other side, inside the prison.
At the last moment, Kondo rolled over to avoid the sword thrust by the paralyzed jailer above his head, and quickly got up. But the jailer rushed up again the next moment.
Kondo, who was resisting the jailer's arms with all his strength, suddenly noticed Yatagarasu's tattoo on the jailer's arm.
[This guy is not just a jailer! ] After Kondo came to the conclusion, he raised his leg and kicked the crow pretending to be a jailer aside, and quickly got out of the opened prison door.
Only then did Jin Tian notice that Gui on the opposite side was experiencing exactly the same scene as him just now - the crow was raising his sword high.
After hesitating for a second, Kondo rushed over. At the same time, Lord Matsudaira also made a move, picked up a stone and hit the crow on the head hard.
Kondo caught up later and sent the crow flying with an uppercut. Then... Katsura got up from the ground and took the sword left in the air by the crow that was knocked away by Kondo. He stabbed the crow behind Kondo with all his strength and was ready to chop it down again.
Phew!
Two crows... dead.
Gui spit out the pill in his mouth and raised his eyes to glance at Kondo, "In this way, you and I are both people who have died once. Okay, now it's friend or foe, which side do you want to be reincarnated into?"
"Ugh!" Kondo spat, "The devil knows."
…
Glancing at the corpse of the crow on the ground, Gui turned around and said as he walked: "Lao Laimei escaped from prison leisurely for us at some time. These Yatagarasu tattoos, they are assassins of the assassination organization Amaterasuin Naraku."
"Naraku? Why are they here?" Lord Matsudaira asked, but just after he asked, Kondo and Katsura discovered at the same time that the guards in this prison had been killed by Naraku. "They actually killed other guards."
Gui Zhengse said: "I'm afraid someone can't wait for us to be executed, or someone has seen through our plan. No matter which one it is, there is no time for us to hesitate, Kondo!"
In the end... the three borrowed the jailer's clothes, covered their faces with bloodstains, and took advantage of the chaotic moment when the jailer outside who was about to change his shift discovered that all the jailers inside had been killed, and got out.
Kondo and Matsudaira, who thought they had escaped, were suddenly told by Katsura that they were on an isolated island...
…
On the sea, several large house-shaped boats with their lights turned off were quietly moving in a certain direction.
A small money banker standing on the bow deck of one of the ships was making his own hardcore statement.
[Seventy percent of this planet is ocean, so human beings are prisoners imprisoned on isolated islands floating on the ocean, and people are trapped in prisons such as country, society, family, friends, lovers... and so on. Sometimes they will enter the cage voluntarily.]
[We just want to be prisoners, because they know very well that freedom is so lonely and empty. Without this, they would not survive. It is precisely because of this that people desire freedom so much. Because freedom is like a treasure that can never be obtained in adventure novels. To live is to be imprisoned in something for the rest of your life.]
[So, in order for Kondo Isao to gain true freedom, he must be executed...]
"Ugh!!"
Xiao Qianxing let out a scream after being kicked away by Fourteen, but fortunately, he put a hand on the bow of the boat and prevented him from falling completely.
Fourteen, who was doing tricks with small coins, said with bruised veins and white eyes, "What's the matter? Are you here to deliberately cause trouble for us? Do you want to be executed like a tough guy?"
"Deputy Chief, ignore that fool," Aji said, taking out a prisoner's uniform from the box and throwing it to Fourteen, "Hurry up and put on this one. Those who enter there are all evil people from all over the world, both ancient and modern. And the only ones who get out are the dead and the Prison Gate Island, the prison of the Ice City Hell - Black Rope Island. If you want to sneak in, this is the only way."
[It’s like pretending to be a prisoner and going in.]Elizabeth, who was being painted in blue and white striped prison uniforms by several rebels, raised the sign.
"You don't look like you at all, okay? Before pretending to be a prisoner, why don't you pretend to be a human first?" Fourteen complained.
[So your signboard is too obvious, so I suggest you replace it with a copy. ] Saito finally raised his writing pad.
"That's not the problem at all!"
Elizabeth raised the billboard: [Why is it me? You should cooperate with me and change it to a billboard!]
"Aren't there other things that need to be coordinated?"
[don't want! ] Saito finally raised the writing board.
Later, one person and one favorite got into an ugly fight again.
"Your costumes and underwear are terrible."
"The officers on this ship have been bribed by us," Aji said, pointing to the two officers behind him who were escorting the prisoners. "They are all willing to help us, saying they want to take the new regime by surprise. The problem is handing over the prisoners. , the prisoners on Black Rope Island must undergo strict inspection at sea. I have forged the documents, but if they are exposed..."
"In other words, it would be much easier to occupy the entire ship?" As he said this, Fourteen took off his coat and picked up the prison uniform on the ground. "Don't worry, we have already made arrangements. Send a signal and the Rangers will take action. After all, it’s the Shinsengumi and the Katsurai Party. It’ll be done soon. As long as they get the ship, they won’t be able to do anything about it.”
[All that's left is to go to the designated location to pick up Mr. Gui and the others who escaped from prison.] Elizabeth, who was beaten continuously by Saito, once again raised the sign.
Fourteen silently complained: "Before that, the relationship between you two is the most important thing."
"The ship that accepts prisoners is here!" Aji said, looking at the ship that was slowly approaching with lights off not far away, "Are you ready, everyone?"
