The end of the curtain

?In the blink of an eye, it was the second year of Yuanzhi, February——

The cold full moon is not as bright as usual, and the black sky has lost the brilliance of stars and streamers. A dark crow's sharp and piercing voice flew across quickly, and the full moon hanging on the top of the scattered branches in between exuded Weird purple light cold.

Because the rooms in the village are limited, and because the two girls can take better care of each other, the Shinsengumi arranged for Sakurai and Chizuru to share the same room temporarily.

On the first night, Chizuru began to apologize when she returned to the room, and then insisted on pulling Sakurai to find Yamazaki.It was only later that I figured out why this girl had to apologize, because it happened that Kokotaro Ito arrived that day, and Chizuru was going to help, and also encountered a small trouble. Fortunately, the general manager came out to solve the siege, so it was delayed. time.

Several months have passed since that incident, but over time, Yamazaki's place has also become a real medical clinic for the Shinsengumi.

Tonight, Yamazaki had to go out for a temporary errand, and it happened that several team members were seriously injured during the inspection today, so Sakurai did his best to help Yamazaki take a look at the injuries of that team member.

Since it was already very late, looking at Qianzuru who had been by his side all the time, he couldn't help yawning, but he was always waiting there.Sakurai couldn't bear it, and directly persuaded and threatened Qianzu to go back to rest first.

That's right, Qianhe has to get up very early every morning to make steamed buns for everyone's breakfast, and has to work until late at night before going to bed, so it's impossible not to go to bed early.

Came back from Mr. Yamazaki alone, Chizuru washed up, then went back to the room, did not close the door tightly, took off the Taoist clothes, and spread all the tatami mats, just lay down and fell asleep not long after.

It's still so cold in Kyoto in February...

In a daze, Qianhe, who was sleeping, was awakened by a slight sound of movement from outside the door.Qianhe subconsciously rubbed her sour eyes, looked sideways at the still empty tatami beside her, feeling a little puzzled in her heart.

He turned his head to look at the sliding door again, only to see a tall figure flashing past at a very fast speed.

Is Xiaoxu back?

Qianhe thought so at first, but after waiting for a long time, no one came in through the door.The doubts in my heart became more and more intense, and I completely suppressed my sleepiness.Qianhe simply got up, re-dressed the Daoist robe seriously, put on a neat ponytail, and tied the little Tonglian handed down from Xuecun's family around his waist, opened the sliding door and tiptoedly followed the figure direction to follow.

Just as Qianhe held his breath and walked softly to the corner of the corridor, he saw a slightly taller figure passing by. Qianhe was thinking who it was so late, and his steps quickened accordingly.

The mournful cries of crows echoed far and wide in the deep mid-air.

Unknowingly, Chizuru had already followed the Shinsengumi to a place deep in the Shinsengumi, and at the corner for a moment, Chizuru realized that she had lost track of her!

What to do, where is this place now?Who was that person just now?How does it feel, it looks so familiar...

There was no other way, Qianhe had no choice but to walk forward with intuition. When she passed a room with a half-open sliding door, the corner of her eye accidentally caught the blood red of demon rule in the room.

--what is that? !

"I was discovered by you, Yukimura-kun." A soft-toned male voice suddenly came from behind Chizuru. Chizuru was startled, and quickly turned around, only to see Shannan Keisuke standing behind her at some point, " Then, please come in with me." After finishing speaking, Shannan opened the sliding door and walked in.

Qianhe didn't ask anything, but just followed in, and saw Shannan walking towards the table by the window.Chizuru's gaze sharply turned to the small bottle on the table.The exquisite glass bottle contains a bright red liquid. It is undeniable that this bottle exudes a thrilling beauty all the time.

"Are you very concerned about this?" Shannan picked up the bottle on the table, and pushed the frame of the glasses with his right hand habitually. The transparent glasses lens was shining with the light of the gods, and at the same time, it reflected the blood red color of the bottle of liquid, " This is Bian Ruo Shui made under the secret order of the shogunate. You have seen the person who drank Bian Ruo Shui, Yukimura-kun. The ability to heal wounds is extremely strong, but at the same time, they have also lost their reason and humanity..."

Become like water...the person who drank the change like water...

Qianhe's body couldn't help trembling, she recalled that snowy night almost a year ago, the bloodthirsty eyes of those Rakshasa... That was, that was not human at all...

"And your missing father Tsunamichi Yukimura is the developer responsible for the production of Bian Ruoshui, but because he disappeared before the Bian Ruoshui experiment was fully successful, the experiment was forced to be terminated." Shannan said lightly. .

"What? Father, father, he is actually doing this kind of experiment that destroys the human body?" Qianhe's heart was pounding, she really couldn't believe that her respected and kind father would do such a thing.no!There must be some misunderstanding!

"Drink this medicine, maybe my hand can be cured." Shannan's voice suddenly sank, Qianhe realized that Shannan might have that kind of thought, but it was true, she quickly grabbed Shannan and said loudly : "What maybe? Mr. Shannan! Please don't do this! Everyone likes the gentle Mr. Shannan very much!"

Sure enough, Shannan was deeply stimulated by Ito Kokotaro's words today, perhaps because he already had this idea.

"But if I don't drink the medicine, my arm will never be healed!" Shannan's emotions gradually became agitated, Qianhe felt panic for a moment, and at the same time, helpless, "If I am a swordsman like this walking dead If you are alive, then I would rather die!" Before Qianhe could stop him, Shannan broke off the bottle cap and drank the whole bottle like water.

"Mr. Shannan!" With Qianhe's exclamation, the remaining glass bottle in Shannan's hand fell off the restraint of his hand and fell to the ground.Shan Nan fell to his knees fiercely, and in an instant, his hair quickly turned into frosty white.

Then, a pair of extremely powerful hands grabbed Qianhe's neck fiercely, and when Shannan raised his ferocious face, what caught Qianhe's eyes was a pair of scarlet eyes!

...Mr. Shannan...why...

Qianhe had long since lost the strength to resist because of the extreme difficulty in breathing. She only felt a stuffy feeling in her chest, but it was about to explode, which was very uncomfortable.

Mr. Shannan...

Just when Qianhe was about to faint, Shannan let go of the hand that was holding her neck, and Qianhe fell to her knees on the ground, coughing violently, and breathing in fresh air at the same time.

"...It seems that my luck... is worse than I imagined..." Shannan held his head in his hands, trying to control himself with the remaining reason, obviously very painful.Before Qianhe had time to repair himself, he had already stepped forward to see the situation in Shannan.

Qianhe held Shannan's arm, her small face was flushed because she was almost suffocated just now: "Mr. Shannan, are you okay..." Before he finished speaking, Shannan said something that horrified Qianhe: "...Mr. Xuecun, take advantage of this moment and kill me quickly..."

What?don't want!

Qianhe was about to retreat, and subconsciously supported Xiao Tonglian at his waist.It is impossible for her to kill Mr. Shannan, she will never do such a thing.

"Hurry up!" Shannan was about to lose his mind, almost yelling.He pulled out the small Tonglian from Qianhe's waist and pointed it directly at his heart. If Qianhe hadn't resisted with all his might, the sharp blade of the small Tonglian might have sunk into his heart.

Rakshasa's fatality, heart, and head.

"No! Don't stop! Mr. Shannan! Don't! Someone! Is there anyone? Help! Don't! Someone!" Qianhe felt that he was running out of energy, so he hurriedly shouted.

Not long after, there was a sound of hurried and messy footsteps outside the door.The sliding door was pulled open with a "wow", and Tufang rushed in first, splitting Shannan's grasping Xiao Tonglian's hand with his palm.Chizuru just paused, then, closing her eyes and falling down, Hijikata gently caught her.Zongsi and Saito, who followed closely behind, joined forces to hold down Shannan who was irrationally clutching his heart in pain.

Hijikata gently placed the fainted Chizuru on the floor. Although he frowned, he quickly and calmly ordered everyone to deal with the aftermath. In particular, Kokotaro Ito must not know.

Because, Kokotaro Ito, that guy is not easy.

—————————————————————

Chizuru woke up again and found herself in a strange room.Turning his head just now, he saw the gloomy-faced Tufang sitting beside him kneeling without saying a word.

"...Mr. Hijikata?" Qianhe's weak voice came, and she saw it, and she saw it again. One year ago, on the night Xuehua first met, Hijikata's eyes that were as indifferent as ice when he pointed at her with a sword, coldly appalling.

"Explain why you're there."

……

The snow, the moon, the wind, the charming eyes.

Under the desolate moonlight, the wind swept Hijikata's long black hair, and looked up at the dark sky. Chizuru couldn't understand the depth in Hijikata's eyes, but in her heart, she felt infinite sadness.

Hijikata-san has always had that expression. In fact, like everyone else, he has always felt very uncomfortable...

"Before the establishment of the Shinsengumi, Mr. Shannan has always been my elder brother to me." Hijikata's voice was neither sad nor happy, his long hair was fluttering in the wind, and Hijikata's side face looked particularly special under the blurred night Unreal, dreamily sad.

Qianhe froze, but in the next second, she firmly said in a voice that was not timid: "It won't be like that! Mr. Hijikata, Mr. Shannan, Mr. Shannan will definitely get better! It will definitely!"

Hijikata was stunned at that moment, and then, on his handsome face, there was a faint smile like clear and shallow ripples, but it was as beautiful as the night cherry blossoms blooming under the night of despair.

Yeah, everything will be fine.

Chizuru...

—————————————————————

"Chizuru." Sakurai knelt on the tatami, looking at Qianzuru who came back so late, his tone was a little low.

"Hey? Xiaoxu, you're back?" Qianhe was more or less physically and mentally exhausted after what happened just now. After all, she was just a child.Sakurai, no, it's also a child.

After returning from Yamazaki, Sakurai did not see Chizuru who was peacefully asleep as expected.At first, she was still a little puzzled, and had been sitting there waiting, but when she heard the faint commotion not far from the Shinsengumi, she probably understood why.

It's just that she was not a troublesome person in the first place, so she didn't check it out very curiously.Because she went to see, she must have nothing good to happen.The Shinsengumi didn't know that she understood the secret of Rakshasa and Changruo Shui.

It seems that Qianzuru already knew something, judging by her appearance, it seems that way.That's right, Qianhe is still a child after all, whoever knows that the father he has always loved will do that kind of experiment, no one will feel sad.This kid is strong enough.

"Qianzuru, go to rest early." Sakurai pursed his lips for the first time and smiled softly at her, patted her head lightly, and smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, there is me, and Everyone in the Shinsengumi."

"Hmm! Thank you!"

You're welcome, Xiaoxue used to be like that...
