[Gintama] The Way of Slaying Ghosts

The breath of warm spring rushes towards us, the warm breeze mixed with cherry blossom petals blows into the classroom, and the unhurried teaching voice is soft and clear.

The man with long light gray hair turned over a page of the book, looked at the last silver-haired boy dozing off holding a knife as usual, with a helpless and tolerant smile on his lips.

Sakata Gintoki stared blankly at the private school in front of him, his eyes were sore for a while, and he couldn't speak as if a piece of cotton was blocked in his throat. Something stirred in his heart, repeatedly, knowing that the scene in front of him was impossible to appear, but Still sinking into it irresistibly.

And Jiu Tsujisan on the bank saw Sakata Gintoki staring at the river as if lost in thought, and then abruptly about to jump off.

"Tsuji-san!" Gulu suddenly reminded, at the same time Jiu Tsuji-san also grasped the rope tied to Sakata Gintoki and wanted to pull it back, and Hisaka Xuanrui and Katsura Kotaro who were beside him quickly came to help.

However, immediately, Sakata Gintoki drew out the knife at his waist and was about to cut off the rope. Jiu Tsujisan's expression was fixed, and he let go of the rope in his hand and rushed towards him without any hesitation. When Sakata Gintoki jumped down, he grabbed it. He was taken away, but was taken down with him.

Throwing away the severed rope in their hands, looking at the two people who fell into the river at the same time, Hisaka Xuanrui and Katsura Kotaro couldn't help but change their expressions at the same time, and then they grabbed the knife at their waists and were about to rush over, but Gulu stopped in front of them.

"Don't go there first, so as not to cause trouble." Gulu made a low voice from his throat, "Also, I think we need to deal with those people behind, no, those are never considered human beings."

There is no coldness of the river and the feeling of drowning. When falling into the water, there is no light at all. The lake seems to eliminate all the light. The baby is protected by the warm mother's body, and the quiet and warm feeling makes people almost addicted to it.

Time seemed to slow down, and Jiu Tsujisan, who was holding on to Sakata Gintoki, sank very slowly in the floating water, sleepiness surged up irresistibly, his eyelids seemed to be glued together and almost closed, and there was only a vague feeling in his mind Yue knew he couldn't fall asleep, once he fell asleep, once he fell asleep...

What happens when you fall asleep?That's weird... I can't remember at all... Ah... So warm... So tired... Just sleep, if you just sleep, it should be... It's okay...

The silver in the darkness flashed past, Jiu Tsuji-san exhausted his last strength to hug the silver, and then fell into a deep sleep.

The young girl stood blankly at the door of a private school, and was immediately attracted by the sound of reading aloud. She opened her black eyes wide and looked at the classroom inside, seeming a little curious.

"It's you." The man who was teaching was not surprised when he saw her, and smiled slightly, "Did you come to find Yinshi?"

The girl raised her head and only saw the graceful chin. She nodded after being slightly confused, and then shifted her gaze to the drowsy silver natural curly boy who was holding a knife in the corner.

"Yinshi?" The girl ran over with some hesitation and whispered.

The silver-haired boy opened his eyes in confusion, looked at the strange girl in front of him and rubbed his eyes in confusion: "You..."

The stranger, who has never met before, but feels in his heart that he should know this girl, Sakata Yinshi was a little stunned, and then he couldn't help asking: "Why are you looking for me?"

Yes, why did I come to him?Just felt like finding him.

Thinking of this, the girl blinked and said, "I want to play with you."

Sakata Gintoki seemed a little reluctant, curled his lips: "I still have to go to class."

After hearing this, the girl tilted her head and sat beside her and said, "Then I'll accompany you." Then she stared at Sakata Gintoki without blinking.

Sakata Gintoki couldn't fall asleep under this gaze, and turned uncomfortably to the girl next to him after seeing the smiling gaze of the light gray long-haired man.

His black half-length hair was tied into two ponytails, and there was still a little baby fat on his white and tender cheeks. When he saw him looking over, he curled his lips, revealing two small cute dimples. He poked it, and Sakata Gintoki did.

Looking at the girl with watery black eyes wide open in front of him, Sakata Gintoki didn't feel that his behavior caused trouble at all, and kneaded it casually, but stopped when his gaze moved to his right eye.

Stopping the movement of his hands, Sakata Gintoki carefully held the girl's face and looked closely at the eyes. The left eye was full of vigor and vitality, with a faint sense of grievance, while the right eye seemed to be unable to reflect anything. A pool of stagnant water.

Finally, with some dissatisfaction, she wanted to slap the claws on her face away, and the girl muttered inarticulately: "No, don't pinch."

"Yinshi, don't bully me too much." The light gray long-haired man who was still lecturing closed his book and said gently, "Okay, get out of class is over today."

Following the cheers of the children, the light gray long-haired man smiled again: "Teacher will take you out to play in the afternoon."

And the girl followed Sakata Gintoki closely the whole time, but as she walked with them through paddy fields to catch butterflies and fish in rivers, her memory felt a sense of disobedience, and she couldn't help but frown tightly. By then, the girl had become expressionless.

Looking at the children following the light gray long-haired man in front of her, the girl finally fixed her eyes on Sakata Gintoki, silently called her name, and then called out again.

Seeing Sakata Gintoki who continued to walk unconsciously, the girl shouted anxiously: "Sakata Gintoki!" She wanted to run over but couldn't move anymore.

At this moment, Sakata Gintoki stopped in his tracks as if aware of it, and stood there in a daze.

After noticing his stop, the light gray long-haired man also stopped and turned around. The twilight at dusk seemed to cast a soft halo on him, which almost warmed up with that gentle smile. Then he extended his hand to Sakata Gintoki.

The body is becoming more and more transparent. Seeing that Sakata Yinshi is about to follow and pull that hand, the girl gritted her teeth, pulled out the double knives around her waist, and directly wiped the blades with her hands, blood staining the runes on the blades , the burst of breath stimulated by blood made the whole space tremble. When Sakata Gintoki noticed this situation and stopped again, the girl slashed her two knives fiercely towards the void, breaking the invisible shackles .

Looking at Sakata Ginshi who was still in a daze, Jiu Tsuji stepped forward, but still couldn't get close, he could only grit his teeth and shout: "Wake up quickly! This is just a fantasy world created in your own heart! It's not reality! It's just It's just your expectations!"

Sakata Gintoki shuddered suddenly, staring blankly and at a loss at the girl whose figure began to twist and loom, while on the other side, the man with light gray long hair was still calling him patiently and gently, and the purple-haired boy next to him It seemed a little impatient, but he also yelled awkwardly to tell him to go back quickly.

Sakata Yinshi couldn't help but pursed his lips tightly, his crimson eyes stared quietly and sadly at the smiling man, moved his lips a few times but still didn't call out the name, all the classmates in front of him also noticed his strangeness, He asked worriedly or anxiously, but he turned a deaf ear to them, and just looked at them almost greedily for the last time, then closed his eyes and silently turned to the girl who was faintly anxious, stretched out his hand and pulled her up.

The moment he pulled it on, the scene in front of him was immediately shattered, and when he regained his senses, Sakata Gintoki felt a dull pain in his hand, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Jiu Tsuji-san looking at him with furrowed brows.

"Tsk, I finally woke up." Jiu Tsujisan heaved a sigh of relief, "It's also lucky that you woke up in time, otherwise I'm afraid you will be like them."

Sakata Yinshi was stunned for a moment, then looked towards her, his pupils shrank, and he saw countless people floating not far away, as if they were asleep, with happy and peaceful smiles on their faces, their bodies It is connected to the bottom of the lake by indistinct countless intertwined silk threads.

"What's going on?" When he returned to Kamisaka Tianyin, he realized something was wrong again, "Why is it here..." Even though he was in the lake, he didn't feel any discomfort from drowning, he was breathing naturally, and there was no problem talking at all.

"Let's go and have a look first." Jiu Tsuji-san said calmly, and then walked over with Sakata Gintoki.

Yes, walking over, as if stepping on a cloud, light and without any gravity, floating in the air like a grain of dust.

It was only then that Sakata Gintoki realized that Jiu Tsujisan had been holding his hand, his whole body stiffened, and then he mechanically turned his head to look forward, but his eyes still subconsciously aimed at his hands, and his body also got up together with his hands and feet, I couldn't help but think that it was because Jiu Tsuji-san was holding it too tightly before and it hurt.

Noticing the unnaturalness of the natural curly hair next to him, Jiu Tsuji-san did not pause, glanced at him and said, "It's just holding hands, why are you nervous? And this is to prevent you from being the same as before, when I put myself The breath of your body melts into your body, which makes our fantasy world blend together."

"I-I'm not nervous." Sakata Gintoki defended weakly, and then tried his best to ask nonchalantly, "What happened before?"

Jiu Tsuji-san said noncommittally: "The ability of that ghost is probably to let us see the world we want to see the most, which is the world shaped by the deepest desire in our hearts, and then indulge in it."

"Is this different from the previous ghost?" Sakata Gintoki couldn't help asking when he thought of the previous time.

"This ghost has a higher calculation ability than the previous one." Jiu Tsuji-san explained casually, "The nightmare ghost just searched the memory to try to show the deeper fragments in the memory, but this one was directly created. The world you want."

"That little girl before...is that you?" Sakata Gintoki thought of that soft little girl, and subconsciously asked, especially that right eye made him feel the same as Jiu Tsuji-san.

Looking at Sakata Yinshi's tangled look, Jiu Tsuji-san nodded: "Well, before I entered into myself the illusion that the most important person is Sakata Yinshi, who was with you since childhood, and all other memories are Blurred, so that ghost also put me in your fantasy world, so I was a little confused at the beginning, I didn't remember it for a while, but I remembered it later, and then the ghost also realized that I was trying to pull you Leaving that world, you just wanted to exclude me, but luckily you woke up in time."

"The most, the most important person?" Sakata Gintoki was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak clearly. He was a little embarrassed, and his face seemed to be heating up slightly. Then he suddenly realized that this was not the point, so he turned back to the topic with a guilty conscience for no reason. "But can this be faked?" Then he added, "Are you hypnotizing yourself?"

"Probably." Jiu Tsujisan rubbed his forehead, "One of my fellow clansmen has the ability to hypnotize, and I know a little bit about it."

"That's it." Sakata Gintoki muttered again thinking of the soft little girl before, "But how did the cute little loli grow up to have the temper she has now?"

Jiu Tsujisan glanced at him indifferently, then stopped: "Okay, now we should think about how to rescue them."
