[Gintama] The Way of Slaying Ghosts

Chapter 46 Puppet Chapter

Jiu Tsujisan and the others did not find the ghost clan again for several days, but people began to disappear in the vicinity one after another.

"This is already the fifth incident, but we still haven't found any clues." Hijikata Toshiro said anxiously to the people in the room with his hands in his trouser pockets, a cigarette in his mouth, "Well, In short, if you have any suspicious clues, you must report it to the Shinsengumi."

Shimura Shinpachi put the tea on the coffee table and asked: "Is there any connection between the missing people? Or are there any traces of fighting at the scene?"

"No, no, there is no connection in any way." Hijikata Toshiro frowned tightly, "If you really want to say, they probably look good?"

"Could it be the midnight pervert who caught them like this, Aru?" Kagura bit the vinegar kombu and guessed vaguely.

"Who knows." Toshiro Hijikata glanced at Ginto Sakata, who was lazily lying quietly on the sofa as if his bones had been pulled out, "Hey, do you... know something?"

"Takushi-kun, do you know?" Sakata Yintoki said slowly, "Three major illusions in life, someone has a crush on you, mayonnaise is delicious, Yin seems to know something."

"You made this up, didn't you?" A vein popped out of Hijikata Toshiro's forehead.

"How could it be made up, this is what Ah Yin thinks is most suitable for you after careful consideration." Sakata Gintoki picked his ears without sincerity.

"Three seconds of deliberation?" Shimura Shinpachi subconsciously complained.

"No, no, Ayin of this level doesn't need three seconds at all, one second is enough, Alu." Kagura pondered for a while and suddenly realized, "So that's it, Ayin is the legendary second beep man."

"Anyway, he's a real man in three seconds." Shimura Shinpachi adjusted his glasses, "A second beep or something..."

"You guys are enough, you bastards!" Sakata Yinshi jumped up madly and roared, "Ah Yin is not a second beep, is he going to beat you up! Ah!?"

"Enough." Hijikata Toshiro squeezed his veins, and said unbearably, "I don't care if it's one second or three seconds, it's just like this, I have to go back to the true selection group first."

"Let's go quickly." Sakata Gintoki waved his hand in disgust as if chasing flies away.

When he reached the door, Hijikata Toshiro paused, looked at Gintoki Sakata with his back in the room: "I hope that this matter will not have anything to do with you, it's enough trouble."

As soon as Hijikata Shirōro left, the Wanshi House returned to silence.

Kagura looked at Sakata Yin who sat back on the sofa and asked hesitantly: "A Yin, what happened this time..."

To this, Sakata Gintoki just closed his eyes and did not answer, leaving only Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura looking at each other.

Okita Sougo, who was leaning on the telegraph pole downstairs, stood up straight after seeing Hijikata Toshiro come out, Kiyokoshi's boyish voice sounded without ups and downs: "How is it?"

Toshiro Hijikata took out the cigarette in his mouth, looked at the gray sky and exhaled a deep breath of smoke, which blurred his expression.

"Let's go." Hijikata Shishiro didn't say much, he just turned around and walked towards the village, "No matter what, let's continue to investigate."

"Hey, hey, I know...huh?" Okita Sougo's voice paused, and he looked around a corner.

There stood a cute little girl with green eyes and smiling eyes, but Okita Sougo felt a bit of incoordination.

"What's wrong?" Hijikata Toshirō, who noticed that Okita Sougo hadn't followed, stopped and looked over in surprise.

Okita Sougo was in a daze for a moment before returning to his usual appearance, blinking: "No, it's nothing, let's go."

And Jiu Tsuji-san, who was a little tired from looking for that ghost everywhere recently, was silent for a while after hearing Sakata Gintoki's words.

"It should be made by the ghost clan." Rensi on the side took up the words, "After all, one of her dolls was broken before, and she also needs 'food'."

Jiu Tsuji-san then added: "Leaving the oni in the crowd is like putting you in a pile of strawberry milk."

Sakata Yinshi thought for a while and said silently: "I understand."

"I don't know if Jiu Qi has any clues now." Looking out the window, Jiu Tsujisan murmured, "I hope it can be resolved quickly before the matter continues to expand."

In the sparsely populated outskirts, an open space was covered in scorched black everywhere, and all the plants were covered with a layer of black dead air, withered and died.

Jiu Qi looked at the fragmented body in front of him with dim eyes: "It's a puppet again..."

Playing with the puppet string in his hand boredly, Jiu Qi casually looked at his Shiki ghost: "This game of cat and mouse is almost over."

In the alley, feeling his puppet being tortured and killed again, Ziko frowned even though he didn't care much about those low-level puppets.

Turning his gaze to the terrified expression of the human being in front of him, Ziko recovered a little.

"Sure enough, no matter how many times you look at this expression of fear and despair, you won't get tired of it." Ziko watched happily as the human slowly lost consciousness and finally became a puppet in his hands.

After a sudden pause, Ziko said to a shadow that suddenly appeared on the ground: "You are finally back~"

"So, did you find anything?" Ziko listened intently, while the shadow on the ground changed shape unsteadily.

"Really." Ziko stared at the shadow with his hands on his chin, "But it seems that you were seriously injured by that annoying white ghost."

This time the shadow directly dissipated its shape and disappeared into the shadows of the surrounding buildings.

"It seems quite angry." Ziko frowned, "Well, after all, I am too, but...it's about the same."

At nightfall, Sakata Gintoki and Jiu Tsuji Sanmoto thought that the day had passed like this, but they found nothing.

Unexpectedly, when they went back, the girl from the ghost race appeared in front of them in such an open and aboveboard manner.

Jiu Tsujisan looked at the girl standing in front of them vigilantly: "What, finally stopped hiding?"

"Because I already know what I want to know." The girl laughed happily, "Speaking of which, it seems that I can't give you the meeting gift I originally planned to give you."

Sakata Gintoki had already drawn out his sword: "The meeting gift and so on are waived, no one will like it."

"It's a pity." The girl smiled slightly, the dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible, "I wanted to make you a doll as a gift, but it's a pity..."

Jiu Tsujisan's face turned cold for an instant, and Sakata Gintoki twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally rushed over with the knife in hand, and Jiu Tsujisan followed.

After the girl resisted one person's attack, the other's attack came immediately. It was the first time that the two cooperated so seamlessly, as if there was a silent tacit understanding flowing between them.

After finally getting a break to breathe, Ziko recruited his puppet without hesitation, and was about to control them to fight, but was destroyed by a familiar puppet in the middle.

"Leave those broken puppets to me." Jiu Qi's voice suddenly sounded, and then he manipulated his own puppets to fight against them.

So far, Sakata Gintoki and Jiu Tsuji have no scruples and join forces to attack the ghost girl.

The two people on this side cooperated more and more as they worked together in the battle, but Jiu Qi's side had no obvious advantage.

Seeing his puppets being surrounded and suppressed, Jiu Qi was not in a hurry, he just raised his eyebrows, the number of puppet strings in his hands increased, and sacrificed two puppets again.

With one knife and one sword, the speed of the puppet with the gun gradually took over.

Ziko dodged the seamless attack of the two in embarrassment, the blood on his body soaked his clothes, and his entire face became gloomy and cold, no longer the cute smile he had before.

Damn it, I didn't expect Jiu Qi to come back so soon, and Sakata Gintoki, who I thought would be easy to take down, was not as useless as I thought.

Moreover, it should be said... As expected of the knife from the same source as that one, the part of her body that was cut could not heal at all, the pain seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow, making her unbearable, making her movements more and more sluggish.

go on like this...

Ziko, who was pressed every step of the way, turned to Jiu Tsuji-san without warning: "Don't you want to know something about yourself?"

Jiu Tsujisan's movements froze, and Ziko, who found a gap, immediately escaped from the continuous rainstorm of attacks.

Ziko, who was not in love with fighting, turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly a ray of light passed through his chest, and his movements froze instantly.

All the puppets were used to fight Jiu Qi, she really faced death this time.

Ziko's lips trembled, his pupils began to slacken, and he lowered his head slowly, only to see that his chest was empty and terrifying, and a hole had been completely penetrated.

"Then you have to really know." Renmi who rushed back looked at the girl indifferently, "Just because you are a newborn senior ghost, you are not qualified to know those real secrets."

The white light just now was exactly what killed Ziko who wanted to escape.

Jiu Tsujisan and Sakata Gintoki, who originally wanted to pursue, stopped their movements, and Jiu Qi's battle came to an end without any suspense.

A weird and distorted expression appeared on Ziko's face: "Hey, it's... not over yet, do you think... I've only been a few human beings during this time?"

"What do you mean?!" Jiu Tsuji-san asked with a sudden frown.

However, Ziko, who could no longer hold on, really died, and his body gradually dissipated, turned into ashes, and went away with the wind.

At the same time, riots began in the streets in the distance.

With the crowd screaming, crying and roaring in horror, Kabukicho began to be chaotic.
