Mamiya stepped forward and rushed towards Negishi.
--Oh shit!
While Naomasa Negishi was shouting all the curse words in Japanese in his mind, he quickly threw the iron cannon aside and grabbed the several iron cannons placed next to his left foot that were all ready to fire.
Although these iron cannons were placed within easy reach of Naomasa Negishi, Mamiya would not give him any more time to pick up the iron cannons.
Phew!
Just before Naomasa Negishi's fingers were about to touch the iron cannons at his feet, the knife in Mamiya's hand pierced Naomasa Negishi's chest, directly hitting Naomasa Negishi's vital part.
"Pfft...pfft..."
Negishi, who was spitting out blood, raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mamiya, who was watching his life passing away with indifferent eyes.
"Where did the projectile I just shot... go...?"
Upon hearing Negishi Naomasa's question, Mamiya said to Negishi Naomasa in a matter-of-fact tone without thinking:
"Before it hit me, I chopped it to pieces."
"Chop, chop to pieces...?!" Negishi Nao's eyes were looking at Mamiya, filled with panic at this time, "Are you... a... monster...?!"
"Compared to a real monster, I'm still far behind."
Mamiya seemed to remember someone, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.
"As long as you know the trajectory of the projectile and draw the knife fast enough, you can easily split the projectile."
"Draw the sword...I just...didn't hear the sound of drawing the sword...Puff...Puff..."
Before he finished speaking, Negishi Naomasa, who had a lot of blood pouring into his mouth, could no longer utter complete words and could only make some meaningless moans.
Mamiya turned the knife in his hand, opening Naomasa Negishi's muscles that clamped the blade due to severe pain, and then slowly pulled the blade out of Naomasa Negishi's body.
Because Mamiya turned the knife inside Negishi Naomasa's body, the damage suffered by Negishi Naomasa was even greater, and the wound became much larger. More blood began to flow out along Negishi Naomasa's wound.
Mamiya took two steps back after withdrawing the blade from Naomasa Negishi's body, silently watching Naomasa Negishi fall to the ground and twitching, silently watching Naomasa Negishi slowly lose any sound...
…
…
at the same time--
In a room on the first floor of the Negishi family's headquarters.
"Finally...let me find you."
Ogata had a sullen face, and while walking towards Ma Fian, who was cowering in the corner of the room, he slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.
"Hey——!" Looking at Ogata walking towards him with a knife, his horse face burst into tears and let out a shrill scream.
When searching for the horse-faced figure from room to room, Ogata was originally worried that the horse-faced man might not be in the mansion, or might have just escaped in the chaos.
Ogata didn't expect that-his luck was pretty good.
I managed to find Ma Lian hiding in the corner in a room.
"Hey!" Ogata said in a very impatient tone to the still trembling horse's face, "Give me back my money bag."
After saying that, Ogata stretched out his left hand and waved towards the horse's face.
"Yes, yes! I will pay it back now! I will pay it back now!"
Ma Lian hurriedly took out a light blue brocade bag from his arms - it was Ogata's money bag.
After Ma Lian took out Ogata's money bag, he hurriedly threw it towards Ogata as if he were throwing a hot fireball.
Ogata steadily caught the money bag thrown by Ma Fang, and then weighed it in his hands.
"You guy, you shouldn't have spent any of my money, right?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Ma Lian shouted with snot and tears, "From the moment I took your money yesterday until now, I've been keeping it in my arms without having time to spend it! I'm telling the truth! I'm not lying.
!”
"...Let's just believe your words."
As Ogata spoke, he stuffed the money bag back into his arms, and then——
The sword flashed.
Ogata used "Dragon Tail" and swept the horse's neck from left to right.
Ma Lian looked at the expressionless Ogata in front of him with a face full of surprise, and then looked down at his neck, which was constantly spurting blood.
He raised his hands to block the blood, but the blood still spilled out from between his fingers.
I wanted to shout something, but all that came out of my mouth were meaningless "ho ho" sounds that didn't even form words.
"I should have said that yesterday, right?"
Ogata wiped the blood on the blade with the handkerchief he picked up just now, and said to the still breathing horse's face.
"If you don't pay me back the money in time, Amaterasu won't be able to protect you even if he comes."
By the time Ogata sheathed the sword, Ma Fian had just expired.
"alright……"
Ogata let out a sigh of relief.
"I have got the money back. Then... let's have a good talk with Mamiya..."
Ogata raised his head and looked at the stairs in the distance.
(Why...why do you know my lord's swordsmanship?)
The question that Mamiya just threw at him echoed in Ogata's mind again.
It is absolutely impossible to say that Ogata does not care about the question Mamiya just raised.
…
…
"Naomasa Negishi has confirmed the kill..."
Mamiya looked at Negishi Naomasa's body in front of him and muttered softly.
"My next mission...there is only one left...huh?"
Mamiya suddenly heard noisy footsteps outside the window.
Are reinforcements from "Yakuza" arriving? With this question in mind, Mamiya slowly walked to an open window not far away.
Looking down, the scene before Mamiya's eyes made Mamiya involuntarily have a look of astonishment on his face.
Outside the base camp of the Negishi family, groups of samurai wearing special black uniforms surrounded the mansion from all directions.
The special black uniforms they wore had already revealed their identities—official servants who had been converted from thieves.
Mamiya also saw two familiar figures among this group of official officials - Hasegawa Heizo and Imai Cheng.
"How did the official officer who was changed by Huo Fu Thief chase him here..." Mamiya muttered.
After a moment of silence, Mamiya sighed softly.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether he is captured by the officials of Huofu Thieves or by the Yuli and Tongxin of Tatsuno Domain."
After talking to himself like this, Mamiya took out a brown cylindrical object from his arms.
There is a lead left at the bottom of this cylindrical object.
There happened to be a stove specially used for making fire in this room. Mamiya walked towards the stove and lit the fuse with the fire in the stove. Mamiya quickly returned before the fuse burned to the end.
Next to the window, then point the cylindrical object in your hand towards the sky.
After the fuse burns out——
laugh!
A red "shooting star" flies upward from the top of the cylinder, and then blooms into a gorgeous "flower" in the sky.
