What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

Chikage Kazama frowned.

Feeling the line of sight, I checked it out, but the other party turned out to be an ordinary idiot. After beckoning with a smirk, he turned and walked away.

Even if they stopped abruptly, the passers-by around did not show any abnormality, but detoured naturally, as if standing in front of them were three tree trunks, which proved that the spell hadn't failed.

"What's the matter, Kazama?" The older ghost - Tianwu Jiushou stepped forward and asked.

He and the other oni, the younger Shiranui Kuasa, didn't feel anything strange, they stopped after Kazama stopped, so their eyes were a beat behind, and they only saw Fuyuya walking away.

"...It's nothing, it should be by chance." Chikage Kazama replied and continued to walk forward.

Ignored by the people around them, three conspicuous ghosts drove straight through the streets of Kyoto and entered a certain teahouse.

The boss of the teahouse had prepared for a long time and led the three ghosts into the innermost teahouse, where a slightly bloated man and a samurai were waiting for their arrival.

"...The one who called us here, which one of you is called Xixiang?" Before he could sit down, Kazama spoke condescendingly.

The samurai who was accompanying him was slightly angry when he heard this. There was only one person sitting at the top of the room. The blond ghost knowingly ignited his anger, but his master didn't express it, and he couldn't do anything.

The bloated man who sat at the top took the initiative, "I am Xixiang, a feudal official of the Satsuma clan. The three ghost clans of the West are so famous that they are worse than meeting each other."

"Hmph, well, although Satsuma helped us back then, the ghost clan should repay the favor, but I don't mean to be with humans." Kazama said in the arrogant tone unique to the ghost clan: "Just say, let us Just do what you want."

Xixiang nodded, and stretched out his hand to stop the accompanying samurai who couldn't help but want to make a move. He obviously expected this situation, "Yes, then the first thing I ask you to do is to hope that you can get rid of one person .”

"Oh?" Kazama asked.

"Toya Ishitani." Said Xixiang, and handed a scroll to Kazama.

"Who is that? I haven't heard of it." The blond ghost clan didn't open the scroll right away, but raised an eyebrow.

"He is the newly-rising owner of Anpingya in Kyoto." Xixiang said, "Although the law and order in Kyoto today is apparently controlled by the Kyoto Shojidai and Shinsengumi, it is Anpingya who really maintains order. I heard that Changzhou The assassin Ba Dao Zhai once attacked him, but failed, and this is the only time Ba Dao Zhai missed in a year."

Kazama finally sat down, seemed quite interested in this topic, "——Continue talking."

"The situation in Kyoto is too calm, which is not good for our cause." Xixiang explained.

The Kyoto Shojidai and the Shinsengumi are both on the side of the shogunate, and the people who nominally control Kyoto are also the shogunate, which means that they can openly hunt down and kill the people of the Fallen Sect, while the Fallen Sect can only hide around.

It would not be a big deal if the capital was leaking everywhere in the past, and the downfall faction could always find a place to hide and avoid being traced by the Kyoto Suojidai and the Shinsengumi, but now it is impossible to do so.

The so-called muddy water is easy to fish.The law and order in Kyoto is very good. This may be a good thing for ordinary people, but it is not the case for the downfall faction who want to achieve a great cause. The downfall faction soon discovered that with the improvement of law and order, they want to be invisible It is also becoming more and more difficult in Kyoto.

This is also a matter of course-the peace of law and order means that any new face appearing in Kyoto, and even the abnormal movements of old faces will attract the attention of people around, just like throwing a stone in calm water will splash people Eye-catching splashes, but if it is a raining river, no matter how you throw a stone, the splashes will be the same as those from the raindrops, and cannot attract any attention.

The imperial palace of the emperor is in Kyoto, and the general who is currently going to Luo is also in Kyoto. This is a well-deserved place of meeting. No matter what the Fallen Sect wants to do here, it must first ensure its own safety.

And if you want to hide in this city safely, a chaotic Kyoto is much more beneficial than a peaceful Kyoto.

No wonder Saigo wanted the situation in Kyoto to be chaotic.

"So that's how it is...so, you hope we can get rid of the owner of that house, let them mess themselves up, and let Kyoto continue to be chaotic." Shiranui Kuang interrupted without any scruples.

Xixiang didn't care about this, nodded and admitted: "That's right, although our people have caused them a little trouble, but that can only restrain them a little bit and can't shake their foundation, but if Ishitani Toya If he dies, the Anping House, which was established less than half a year ago and has no successors, is bound to be unsustainable, so there is nothing to worry about."

Kazama finally unfolded the scroll in his hand, and saw something incredible on it.

"……This is!"

In today's era, due to the invasion of Western culture, Western-style painting techniques that pay more attention to realism have become quite common. The hanging scroll in Kazama's hand is also the same. It simply restores the appearance of "Ishitani Toya". Eights are always there.

Therefore, Kazama also recognized it—the man in the portrait was the guy he met on the street just now!

……

"Oh, although I thought maybe you guys would use this method, but I really didn't expect that they came directly at me... Dabai, be careful to avoid it."

At this time, Toya was standing in an empty alley, greeting the empty air.

The gray-black big cat who was reminded by him "meowed" and shrank obediently to the corner of the street.

He was on his way back to Anping House, and he felt as if he was being targeted.

"...Hmph, it seems that you are not slow." In the deserted alley, a voice came from an unknown direction.

"Because your murderous aura is very piercing. I don't think I have done anything that would cause people to kill me. I think this is the trouble I got into recently."

"Trouble? So I'm not the only one who found you... Hahahaha!" The voice laughed loudly.

"Huh? Isn't it the same dial..." Fuyumi scratched her cheek, realizing again that she—or Anheiya, really was an eyesore.

And in the alley in front of him, a warrior with a ponytail appeared at some point.

"—Choshu Clan, Shishio is real! Toya Ishitani, the lackey of the shogunate, let me take your head!"
