Chapter 33

At dusk, this is the busiest time for every inn and teahouse in Edo. In the restaurant downstairs, there are customers on every table. Already soaked in sweat.All he knew was that these guests were here for dinner, tea break, or overnight stay.And he didn't know that some people really had a simple mentality of eating, drinking tea or lodging, while some people did come here specially with their own plans secretly.

That was the case with Maureen and Squalo.

It is not uncommon to see samurai wearing swords in the major teahouses and restaurants in Edo Castle, but it is really rare to see two ten-year-old children who wear swords and know that they are good swords.However, most people just thought it was children imitating samurai fooling around, and treated them as a joke, and didn't care about these two guys. It wasn't until the scary woman in red walked slowly and sat down next to the two children that the commotion became serious. start.

"Isn't that the mourner in red whose fame spread throughout Edo three years ago?"

"Looking at the red lips and the red dress, it must be her. The mourner in red hasn't appeared since the shogunate raid three years ago. I thought she was also killed in the raid."

"Don't you find it strange? Even the children know the reputation of this mourner in red. The attitude of these two children towards her is too flat, right? Are you not afraid of death?"

"Hehe, are you stupid? If the role of the mourner in red is still there, those of us who saw him would have become ghosts long ago, and would still be drinking and chatting here? And why would those two monkey children be discussing here? Can you be so calm?"

Gu He Hualing squinted at the people who were discussing around, but didn't speak, just slightly raised his hand, and a man who was drinking hard in the distance fell down on the table with a bang, foaming at the mouth.This action made the relatively harmonious hotel suddenly noisy, as if seeing some plague god, and fled in all directions.

Maureen and Squalo exchanged glances, shrugged their shoulders, and then turned their heads to look at Gu He Hualing, who was also a little confused but had a half-smile.The latter blinked, sighed helplessly, and said with an innocent face: "Heavenly conscience, I didn't do anything. This is really just a coincidence."

"I said your coincidence is too coincidental." Squalo twitched the corners of his mouth, and then looked at the remaining tables. They all looked like they had nothing to do with them. Their eyes narrowed. He poked Maureen's waist with his hand.This stabbing made Maureen uncomfortable, as if she had been poked into some fatal spot, she slammed to the side, and then stared at her face, "I don't know what I did wrong, why did this woman explode again?" Squalo, who had a "mao" expression, raised his hand and punched him, and Squalo dodged Maureen's attack with lightning speed, but he didn't expect that little girl to slap her own knife. If he didn't pay attention, the knife that was still in the scabbard around his waist was already in Maureen's hand.

At this time, Squalo felt a strong bad feeling in his heart.

——But when did he offend this guy, Sizemore?Why doesn't he even know it?

——The heart of a woman is really a needle in the sea, even after years of fighting in the battlefield, he can't understand it...

Gu He Hualing smiled helplessly, and she didn't look like she wanted to save Squalo from the fire and water, she silently watched the two children mess around.People who practice martial arts know that the waist is one of the weak points of the human body. When ordinary people are poked at the waist, they may only feel an itch, but they will not have any major reactions.But Maureen Nishizawa was not like that. After all, she had learned swordsmanship from Atsushi Nishizawa since she was a child, and she must have been trained to react quickly in this regard.

Of course, if she didn't stop it, maybe Maureen would actually chop it off.However, she is more interested in the matter of who is better, Maureen or Squalo.

I saw Maureen picking up Squalo's knife, holding the hilt in her right hand, and resting her left fingertips on the front of the sword.From Squalo's point of view, one of Maureen's eyes was almost blocked by her own knife.This is a trick she has always used. Before, because the red scale knife was wider than Squalo's knife, it could completely block Maureen's right eye. This is why Maureen has been reluctant to use other knives even in practice. one of the reasons--

The secret of her trick is to block the right eye. Although Squalo has thought about it for many years, he still can't figure it out. He only feels that his thoughts are getting more and more confused...

As soon as Maureen made a move, Squalo subconsciously wanted to take out the knife at hand, but his arm hesitated in the air, and then he saw a knife thrown from obliquely in front of him, holding it firmly, Before he could pull out the knife from the scabbard, he saw Maureen already in front of him, holding the knife in both hands, and was about to cut it off. Squalo quickly held the top of the scabbard with his left hand, and stabbed at his chest. With a push forward, it can be regarded as resisting Maureen's attack.

The so-called sword technique does not allow any hesitation or release water when the sword and the sword collide. If anyone is one step slower than his enemy, it is equivalent to stabbing the knife into his chest, or poking it in. The kind that will be pounded afterward.Squalo deeply understood this truth, so he quickly pulled out the knife and swung it upwards, cutting down from Maureen's upper right.Unexpectedly, Maureen didn't move, but just stared at the knife in Squalo's hand in a daze.

Gu Hehua Ling quickly realized that something was wrong, and pulled Maureen aside with a single stride, but Squalo's knife still brushed past her arm, and the blood that spilled out printed the white robe in bright colors. of red.

"Maureen?!" Squalo paused for a while before realizing that something was wrong.Of course, the moment he chopped down, he was extremely suspicious of Maureen's expression, but he couldn't stop the knife in his hand.He frowned and patted his chest vigorously with his hands.

Looking at the injured Maureen, he could clearly feel the unspeakable depression in his chest, and he couldn't let it out.Seeing that Guhe Hualing was already helping Maureen with the wound, she could only sigh heavily, glance sideways at the knife she had thrown aside, and frown even tighter.

It wasn't any other knife, it was the one Maureen was looking for - the Red Scale Knife.

But this is slightly different from the Red Scale Knife.

People who play knives can more or less feel the difference between knives and knives, just like professional musicians can hear the pros and cons of different people playing the same piece of music with the same instrument.Squalo is a man who has a very high sensitivity to knives or to swords or to people who use swords.He can judge the pros and cons of a sword in an instant and the current and potential abilities of the person using the sword—this is why Yoshida Matsuyo appreciates him so much—Squalo gave birth to a person who knows how to appreciate the ability to use a sword good embryo.

He has not only seen this red scale knife, but also felt its power, so he naturally knows a thing or two about this knife.But the red scale knife used to exude a gentle atmosphere, not a killing knife; but now the red scale knife has only the indifference, sharpness and biting coldness of the sword itself.

How on earth is this to be explained?

The knife will not change its character at will.

"It is true that the knife can change its character at will, but the knife will change according to the change of the owner's mood. In other words, if the owner is a gentle woman, the knife will naturally not be cruel. If the owner is a brutal man, the knife It won't be very weak either. But...if the owner that this knife admits is dead...does this mean that the temper of this knife...will also become the coldness that a corpse should have?"

a strange voice.

Squalo was not in a hurry to turn around, seeing that Gu He Hualing had already bandaged Maureen's wound, and that little girl (?) Maureen fainted for some reason.I had no choice but to sigh heavily again, without saying a word, I hugged Maureen from the ground in my arms, and walked to the side of the waiter who was so frightened that he hadn't recovered yet, and asked about the accommodation, but he didn't pay attention This guy who came all of a sudden.

The sound of the fan was extremely loud in the quiet inn, and Koga Hualing also wore a white robe to this person, looking like a female ghost (although she knew that she was also dressed like a female ghost, but it was just for bluffing ) The same man has an indescribable defensiveness.

——There are not many people in Edo who know how to use fans to change the airflow around them and thus have an attack effect.Judging by his attire, he must be Mr. Wuxu known as "a literati among warriors".

"Voi!! Over there, you're the one who booked the last room?" Squalo hugged Maureen, and yelled at Mr. Wuxu in a voice that he thought he couldn't wake Maureen up.

"Oh yeah? So what if it's me? KUFUFUFUFU..." Mr. Wuxu smiled strangely, fanned the fan in his hand, and murmured: "Nothing is created from nothing, and nothingness is created from something. Wuxu is a concept of emptiness."

"Tsk, I warn you, I can't understand what nonsense you are talking about. I just want you to give up the room! Didn't you see that there are patients here?"

Mr. Wuxu squinted his eyes, staring at Maureen who looked pale.After a long time, he nodded and said, "The room... I can indeed give it up to you. But I have a condition..."

"It's so annoying, why is it so tiring to talk to you? What conditions do you have?"

"I want to ask the girl some questions after she wakes up... KUFUFUFUFU..."

"Whatever you want." Squalo turned around in disgust, and said to the waiter, "VOI! You heard me, take me to that guy's room."

"Yes... yes." The waiter nodded hastily, he had never seen such a vicious child, it is better not to offend, and this emptiness, oh no, Mr. Wuxu doesn't know what it is, book a room Sometimes it just appeared suddenly, and then left suddenly, like a puff of smoke.

Gu He Hualing frowned, fixedly staring into the eyes of Mr. Wuxu.

Although it was only for a moment... But she just clearly saw the man's right eye turn red...
