After a brief silence, the man broke the silence - he also threw down the wooden knife, but took out a sharp short sword from his arms.

"..." Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes slightly - he had carefully checked the body of the fat man who died in the basement before, and the cause of the death of that person should have been caused by such a short sword stabbing his neck.

They did not find the weapon at the scene. Could it be that this short sword was the weapon taken away by the murderer in unknown ways?

In addition, if the other party intends to use this sword to kill him... then why did he just give himself a wooden knife and duel with him? Unless-

"Are you Musashibo Benkei?" Hattori Heiji took a deep breath, concentrated his trance due to blood loss, and asked.

When Musashiba Benkei and Genyosuke met for the first time, it was because Musashiba Benkei fell in love with Genyosuke's sword, so he wanted to seize Genyosuke's sword through a duel.

If the other party gave him a wooden knife to replicate this process? Defeat yourself through a duel and then seize your own life as seen as a spoil?

But anyway, before trying to think about the answer to this question, one thing is the most important thing - surviving from the opponent's sharp short sword, in any way.

If the opponent holds such a short sword, the attack distance must be longer than that of him, which means that it is almost impossible for him to attack the opponent without being attacked by the opponent. In addition, because of blood loss, his reaction ability may be inferior to that of the opponent, so if he suffers in close combat, he will most likely suffer.

So, what you should do now is to control the distance to the distance that the opponent can't reach through a single attack with a short sword. The distance should be subtle enough to prevent the opponent from attacking himself through a single attack, but it is easy for the opponent to have the illusion that he can attack himself through a single attack. In this case, it is easy for the opponent to choose to take action when he is unable to close the distance for a long time to really ensure this point. In the end, he successfully seized the knife and completed the counterattack when he was exhausted but could not attack him.
