Chapter 551 The So-Called Swordsman
In front of the console of Princess Kaguya's smart module, there was a girl's body lying. It was Nadeshiko. Inuyamaga's knife accurately cut Nadeshiko's throat, and then bluntly hit the back of the head. The girl died without pain. This was what Inuyamaga did. Daughter, the last mercy.
Nadeshiko was still holding a dagger in her death hand. This dagger was specially designed so that the girls could hide it on their bodies. With professional training, it could not be detected by airport-level security.
Now they use the techniques taught by Inuyama Ga to deal with Inuyama Ga.
This has to be said to be a kind of irony.
At that time, when everyone was attacking Sakura and Sakurai Kogure, the same thing happened to Inuyama Ga. One second, Nadeshiko, who was caring about her father's health and carefully beating her waist, silently pulled out a dagger to stab her in the next second. Congratulations to Inuyama.
Nadeshiko didn't feel the touch of the dagger entering her flesh. What she felt back was the feeling of the dagger hitting a hard object.
Inuyama Ga blocked the dagger with his sword.
"Ah, it's Nadeshiko."
Inuyama Ga repeated what he said not long ago.
It was as desolate as the wind blowing fallen leaves in late autumn.
The one connected to this wind was Inuyama Ga's golden eyes.
Yan Ling: A moment.
Don't think that someone who drinks wine and manages the red light district is not a swordsman.
No matter what, Inuyama Ga is the one who studied under that person.
He respected Angers more than anyone could have imagined.
So much so that in the years since Angers left Japan, Inuyama Ga never gave up on honing his sword skills.
Inuyama Ga has imagined countless times that if one day Angers returns to Japan, what attitude should he use to challenge his former mentor, and what attitude should he use to draw his sword, but these are actually not important.
What really matters is that Inuyama Ga must prove his progress to Angers.
It proves that he, Aga, has never lost his reputation as a legendary dragon slayer.
Now, the vision is about to come true.
Angers is about to arrive in Japan.
Then, let this battle be regarded as the final rehearsal before meeting the mentor.
Inuyama Ga said to his goddaughters.
"Let me see your progress."
The girls looked at each other in silence and nodded.
They spread out lightly, like flowers blooming in layers, forming a circle, surrounding Inuyama Ga in the center.
The girls bowed deeply, as if they had gone back many years ago when they first asked the old man in front of them for sword skills.
"Teacher, please give me some advice."
"snort."
Inuyama He actually closed his eyes.
"bring it on."
Sakura and Sakurai Kogure retreated to the outside.
They watched the fight silently.
"I didn't expect that the biggest danger in this operation would be them."
Sakurai Kogure chuckled.
"It's worthy of you, General Wang."
"The head of the Inuyama family thought of it."
Sakura stated.
"Um."
Of course Sakurai Kogure can also see it.
The group of people who happened to be brought out to perform the mission were all spies planted by Herzog. How could there be such a coincidence?
Judging from Inuyama Ga's expected behavior, this matter was probably Inuyama Ga's plan. He was fishing and wanted to see how many Herzog people there were on his side.
Perhaps Inuyama Ga had made a guess a long time ago, but he was just not sure. He could not think of anyone who could place an informant around the Inuyama family head, and even this spy was the goddaughter of the Inuyama family head.
Until Tachibana Masamune revealed that he was the king general and Herzog's identity.
Then it all makes sense.
There are not many people who have the ability to place spies around the head of the Inuyama family, and the head of the Sheqi Hachi family is naturally one of them.
Now that it is confirmed that there is an informant, the only question left is who the informant is. Before performing the mission, Inuyama Ga made a list, wrote the names of all the people who made him suspicious, and then presented it to Minamoto Chisheng.
Minamoto wanted to tell Sakura, but Inuyama Ga tried his best to dissuade her. Herzog was ambitious and had big plans. When it came to catching spies, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Inuyama looked at Yuan's childishly thinking eyes and made a firm commitment.
"Everyone, you can rest assured that I will definitely bring Miss Sakura back safe and sound."
Yuan Zhisheng thought for a moment and lowered his head slightly.
Lifting it up again, his eyes were clear and there was no hesitation.
"It doesn't matter."
"Sakura is not a vase that needs protection."
"Just go ahead and do it, the mission comes first, don't worry about it Sakura."
Inuyama He bowed his head in response.
There is a natural conflict between the love between sons and daughters and the position of leader. Whether to put the lives of companions first or to put the mission first, many leaders will face this problem.
Yuan Zhisheng made his choice.
He believed in Sakura, this girl would not die easily.
Sakurai Kogure said a few words to Sakura, and then remained silent, concentrating on watching Inuyama Ga's battle with the girls.
The girls surrounded Inuyama Ga and ignored Sakura and the two.
This scene is like some kind of ritual.
It has strong religious enlightenment significance.
Before meeting Inuyama Ga, the girls had different destinies, but generally they could not escape the color of tragedy.
Their fate changed after meeting Inuyama Ga.
Inuyamaga funded them, allowed them to receive a good education, and personally taught them swordsmanship. In this process, he did not ask for anything, but simply gave.
Many girls had actually made psychological preparations to devote themselves to Inuyama Ga early on, but in the end they were surprised to find that it was not necessary at all.
Inuyama Ga didn't even touch their hands.
He is so decent that it seems that the Inuyama family is not the leader in the customs industry at all, and it even makes people suspicious. In fact, Inuyama Ga has sworn long ago that he will never share the same fate with Huang in this life.
There is a bit of black humor in saying this. He is the head of the Inuyama family, but perhaps because of this, Inuyama Kacai realizes more clearly than anyone else what kind of tragic fate women who choose the custom industry have to endure. .
Therefore, no matter from which aspect, the girls have no reason to betray Inuyama Ga.
But ah.
However, they have been the king's generals from the beginning.
This guy Herzog has an average bloodline and average speaking ability, but he has the heart of a dragon.
Herzog is one of the few people in this era who can think with dragon-like thinking.
The four words "the weak and the strong" are completely engraved in Herzog's genes.
From a certain perspective, Herzog is indeed very close to dragons.
Playing with people's hearts, extracting value, manipulating human beings like a puppet show, putting on the stage play he wants to see, and then Herzog will enjoy it in the audience with red wine, and will even cry at sad places and applaud at touching places. Sighing while spinning, he went on stage to drink the last of the actors' worth.
This is Herzog.
Before the girls met Inuyama Ga, they were already Herzog's chess pieces. This guy's ability to play with chess pieces was almost equivalent to that of a word spirit. No one could escape his control. Of course, that would have to be the appearance of the god of hell. Before.
The girls used the swordsmanship learned from Inuyamaga to deal with Inuyamaga.
Enemy the enemy with the few, defeat the many with the few.
No matter how you look at it, it is not good for Inuyama Ga.
Sakura and the two stared at each other.
"Did you find it?"
"Um."
Until now in the battle, Inuyama Ga has never used the word spirit.
Setsuna, as the lower Kotō spirit of Time Zero, is also an almost legendary existence. Inuyama Ga became a swordsman through this. There is an old saying in the Far East, saying that all martial arts in the world are fast and unbreakable. As long as you are fast enough, before the opponent sees clearly, Your sword has pierced the enemy's heart, so there is no need for any martial arts or tricks.
But now, Inuyama Ga never uses his word spirit moment.
Except for the first time when he came to rescue Sakura and the two.
In contrast, there are Inuyama Ga's goddaughters.
They cooperate with each other and master various ancient swordsmanship at their fingertips. Their bodies are like butterflies wearing flowers, beautiful and deadly.
But no one uses the spirit of speech.
It's just the most basic thing to ignite the golden eyes and use the dragon's blood to increase physical fitness.
Other than that, the two sides just competed in swordsmanship.
Not using words seems to be a tacit agreement between Inuyama Ga and his goddaughters.
Just like what the swordsman said at the beginning.
This is a test, a test that Dad puts on his goddaughters.
Sakurai and Kogure quickly understood.
People in this country will always persist in some strange places, and they have seen it not once or twice.
People started dying.
"I recognize her."
Sakura said.
"oh?"
"The third female lead in a recent hit drama. Her image of a young female junior high school student has deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and her popularity has risen rapidly." She has appeared in many variety shows, and a magazine commented that she is a rising star in the future.
"That being said, I do seem to have some impression."
Sakurai Kogure pondered.
"I remember it was called..."
"Edo Hundred Miles."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Sakurai Kogure sighed.
"It sounds like a name from a novel character."
Sakurai Kogure sighed and looked at her friend strangely.
She speaks her mind.
"Tsk tsk, I really can't tell. I didn't expect you to be quite concerned about the recent TV series."
Sakura smiled. Of course she would not say that in order to become the good-looking girl that Minamoto needed, she always kept seven or eight sets of dressing supplies in her bag. She also spent most of her free time observing and learning the habits of other girls. Edo Hundred It was an image she had just learned not long ago, that kind of bright personality that made a cloudy day turn sunny as long as she smiled, which Sakura could not understand.
Precisely because she couldn't understand, she would study over and over again. Sakura stubbornly wanted to understand what Miss Edo Mari was thinking about in her head.
What's so good about this world where bullets and guns are everywhere and people can die at any time?
What Sakura can't understand is that in the eyes of others, the same world is milk tea shopping, test papers, and entrance exams. Obviously they breathe the same air and walk under the same blue sky, but they see completely different worlds. .
A lot of things don't make sense.
"She's dead."
Sakurai Kogure sighed.
"Well, dead."
The two of them looked at Edo Momuri lying in a pool of blood not far away.
"A lot of people will be sad. After all, he is a very powerful idol."
"It doesn't matter."
Sakura said with experience.
“When the next idol comes along, they’ll forget about it.”
"Three months, maybe a month, very soon."
Sakura has personally done similar work before. It is easy to manipulate the public's attention, push a star to the top, or ruin a person's reputation. As long as enough impactful news is exposed, who will care about the matter.
"Too."
Sakurai Kogure looked at the battlefield.
she said softly.
"Someone died again."
One by one, girls fell into a pool of blood.
Inuyamaga's sword never hesitates.
Even if he is facing the girl who once called him daddy.
"Is all swordsman's blood cold?"
Sakurai Kogure asked.
"Yes."
Sakura was sure.
"If there is emotion, the knife will hesitate."
"Sounds like lines from an ancient drama."
Sakurai Kogure muttered.
Of course Sakura will not tell Sakurai Kogure that the person who said this is Minamoto Chisao.
Although the elder is a very reliable person and a leader worth following, but Yuan Zhisheng will always show a certain degree of... well, it should be said that he is a middle school student.
Sakura remembered that there was still an Ultraman figure on the bedside table in Minamoto's bedroom.
After all, parents are partners of justice.
Although the leader of the largest Yakuza organization in the country regards himself as a partner of justice, it is weird no matter how you look at it.
After that, Sakura and the two didn't speak again.
Their muscles are still tense and they need to relax a little in order to be able to exert more force later.
This proves that the two are still in fighting mode.
Many girls died here.
Inuyamaga's sword is also an alchemical weapon with a provenance. It has the character "Chrysanthemum" and the blade has eighteen chrysanthemum patterns.
Inuyama Ga always wore a good sheath, and someone asked today, wondering why Inuyama Ga took out such a good knife.
Facing his goddaughter's curiosity, Inuyama Ga was as kind and kind as ever.
"Ah, tell me why."
Inuyama Ga explained.
"After all, this is my first time doing something for your parents."
"Even I have to show 100% motivation."
As he spoke, Inuyama He clenched his fist and waved it in the air, as if to prove his determination.
The girls laughed wildly, surrounding Inuyama He, making this old man who had been in power for half his life seem to have returned to his youth.
Therefore, Inuyama Ga often laments that older people should spend more time with young girls. In this way, their mood will become younger.
But what was young Inuyama Ga like?
The sun was scorching, the streets were dry, and the tall man cast a shadow, which was like a physical sense of oppression. Inuyama Ga was sweating profusely and his body was covered in bruises.
He heard the man say contemptuously.
"Is this the only level, Ahe?"
Inuyama He gasped for air, his throat felt like fire was burning.
He heard the man's cold voice.
"stand up."
"You loser."
This was his young age, Inuyama Ga.
Contrary to what normal people think, the head of the Inuyama family, the leader in the custom industry, must have spent his youth in the gentle village, right? Speculations like this are completely wrong.
When he was young, Inuyama Ga was a complete butcher.
Even more sharp-edged than Angers.
Angers grew older and began to package himself with the image of an old-school British aristocrat.
But the young Inuyama Ga is far from the time to restrain himself.
He felt that the world was so big and he could go anywhere with just one sword in his hand.
Getting along with these girls who were undercover by Herzog always reminded Inuyama Ga of his youth.
The kind of arrogance that would kill anyone in the world.
It’s been such a long time coming.
The last girl falls.
Inuyama He stood alone among the corpses on the ground.
The girl was not completely dead yet. She opened and closed her mouth as if she had something to say.
Inuyama Ga came closer.
Only a sad wind was heard.
The wind seemed to be saying sorry.
It also seems to be calling daddy.
With a girl's innocent smile.
The last girl died too.
Inuyama Ga took a moment, took off his black kimono, pierced it through Kikuichimonji, and inserted it into the ground.
Like a silent tombstone.
"I think I saw the head of the Inuyama family crying."
Sakurai Kogure whispered to Sakura.
"You're wrong."
Sakura said.
