Gintama Ninja's Way of Survival

The author has something to say: Ah, long time no see.

It's been off for a while, for three reasons:

One, too busy.

Second, the glass heart.

Three, Calvin.

I have repeatedly emphasized that there is really no style of writing, and it is really ignorant. This is not being modest, but stating the facts.

If you think this article is not your style, you don’t have to read it at all.

If I think my writing is bad, I still don’t have to read it.

I don't want to make money when I write articles, I just write for fun.

I'm not irresponsible, if you feel that I don't listen to readers' suggestions and criticisms, I want to say that I have tried my best to write the article like this.

Not everyone can write high-quality essays, okay?

I also want to make progress!I also hope that I can write articles that I won't want to go into the ground after reading it!But I can't do it yet! ! !

Hey, there are a lot of negative emotions, just ignore me.

Thank you all for supporting me without giving up or giving up. 【bow

Finally, I wish you all a good day.

Recently, Kabukicho has been a bit uneasy. The reason is that there is a killer who only picks on drunks.Just the day before yesterday, another body was found in the alley. This is already the fourth incident.

Dead people are not uncommon in this era when barbarians and rogues are still active.And the reason why it became big news is because those corpses are quite strange.At first glance, there is no external injury, just a drunk man lying on the side of the road... But in fact, there is only a layer of skin left between the head and neck, a neat cut.People have been discussing that this is simply not something that humans can do, maybe it was done by the god of death.

After telling Jiuchuan and Zhenji to be careful on the way back, Bai Yan arranged for Moriichi to close the store. The reputation of "Reaper" is getting louder and louder, and as a result, there are almost no customers in the convenience store in the evening, which makes him a headache.When there are fewer customers, the backlog of goods will increase.In particular, some foods with a shelf life of only two or three days can only be sent to garbage collection points.If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know that materials, rice, oil and salt are expensive, these are all vain money.

So when the second body appeared, Bai Yan sent someone to investigate.It's not a free job, after all, you can still sell information to the Shinsengumi...cough.

He also checked the corpses in the alley himself. At first, he thought this method was familiar, but he couldn't remember who did it.

As the investigation deepened, the information sent back by his subordinates made Bai Yan feel vigilant.It's not that the killer itself is dangerous, but that the things involved are too complicated.Bai Yan promptly destroyed the scroll that recorded the incident, and even the investigators were silenced by him.

The Ikeda family...the official position on the surface is the imperial examination of public instruments, and is responsible for managing the swords of the shogun's waist.In essence, it is a family of executioners who have been beheaded by the shogunate for generations, and are responsible for executing the sinners entrusted to them by the government. Among them, the head of the family will inherit the name of 'Yoemon'.

Purify the souls of sinners.When the deceased was beheaded, there was not only a layer of skin on the head, but because the incision was relatively fresh, the cells were still stuck together... He died without even discovering that the cells were severed. This is the ultimate technique passed down from generation to generation by the Ikeda family— —'Pure Soul'.

The Hattori family and the Ikeda family had no personal contact with each other except that they both held important positions in the shogunate.The former Hattori was like this, and so was Bai Yan.If there really was such a relationship involved, it was only a few years ago that Bai Yan had already investigated this family thoroughly.To what extent?Probably even the number of mouse holes in the Ikeda family's mansion is recorded.

It all started when he met 'White Yasha' again on the streets of Kabukicho.

At that time, Bai Yan's 'career' was still in its infancy, a large number of subordinates were sent out, and the information collected was also varied, until one day Mori sent him a small scroll.The specific content will not be listed for the time being, but it probably means that the famous "White Yasha" on the battlefield of fighting against barbarians has thrown himself into the trap and will be beheaded in public in the near future.

Seeing the ink on the scroll that looked a little blurry when it was still wet, Bai Yan sat blankly for a moment.In any case, it can be regarded as an acquaintance, and they have fought side by side, it is impossible to pretend that they do not know.So, do you want to act?

This question was answered in the next few days when the information about the arrest of 'White Yasha' came. He wanted to save this person.Sakata Gintoki shouldn't just die like this, let alone at the hands of an incompetent shogunate.

Now that you have decided to save people, you have to do some calculations.Should he go directly to the cell to bring the person out, or wait until the day of the beheading, and make Li Daitao stiff with a dead body.Concerned about the identity of 'White Yaksha', the latter seems more appropriate.

However, before the plan was implemented, he saw Yinshi who was already free.The other party looked good, after all, he was still in the mood to joke with him.The next thing to do is much simpler, thoroughly investigate the process of 'White Yasha' escape from prison.

……

If Bai Yan was only collecting information habitually at the beginning, then today he has to admire his foresight.

"Senichi."

Bai Yan stopped and stood in the shadow of an alley, the light from the street lamp only illuminated half of his body.Sensing that there were no extra people around, he continued to speak. "Do you remember the information about the Ikeda family?"

Moriichi thought it over in his mind before replying cautiously. "Remember."

"There's something wrong..." Bai Yan stretched out his index finger and scratched his cheek, then walked towards home again. "I always feel that some important information is missing. That old man doesn't seem like someone who will be involved in the death incident. Moreover, there is no motive."

Sen Yi suddenly widened his eyes, stepped forward and grabbed Bai Yan's cuff. "Yan Sang... it's time."

"Huh?" Bai Yan turned around and looked at Moriichi. "What's the meaning?"

"The [-]th Yaemon...is dead. Now the head of the Ikeda family is his son, the [-]th Yaemon."

After being told by Senyi, Bai Yan finally knew what he had missed.After Yinshi was released that year, he did not continue to pay attention to the Ikeda family. Although his subordinates continued to investigate, he did not regularly read the Ikeda family's information.That is to say, in his impression, the Ikeda family is still headed by the No.17 Ikeda Yaemon.The Shinigami incident was also investigated after it was found to be related to the Ikeda family, so it stopped.

"Ahhhhhhh, it seems that although I have anticipated what might happen in the future, I have forgotten that I will be lazy occasionally."

"Boss, it's the negligence of the subordinates." Mori knelt down on one knee, his head almost dropped to the ground.This person in front of him has a mountain of things to deal with every day, not only in terms of intelligence, but also in task selection and distribution, personnel integration, materials and equipment...etc.Occasionally being lazy and basking in the sun is the only leisure activity.My job is not just as a cashier in a convenience store, but more importantly, in charge of information communication.

"Ah, don't blame yourself, get up first." Bai Yan waved his hand. "The time span of this incident is too long, you are not wrong. It is my own problem, I didn't notice it. I am going to go to the Shinsengumi to discuss something with the deputy director of Hijikata. You can help me go to the store, from A Sana sent over all the scrolls of information about the Ikeda family. Without further ado, let's go."

"Yes, chief."

After Senyi left, Bai Yan lifted his forbearance and jumped onto the roof beside him.The Zhenxuan Group's settlement is very close to his current location, and he will arrive after a while.Occasionally, he served as an errand runner and delivered mayonnaise a few times, which made him a familiar face in the Zhenxuan group, not to mention that there were hidden stakes.So, very smoothly, Bai Yan met Hijikata Toshiro and Okita Sougo.

"What? The knife-testing murderer has been caught?"

Hijikata looked at Okita with dissatisfaction, the cigarette held between his index finger and middle finger was more than half burned.Slightly whitish smoke ash began to float in the air scatteredly with the master's movements.

"Yes, those people from the Ikeda family rushed ahead of the police... They intend to deal with the shame of their own family."

Okita crossed his arms and sat on the floor.There was no wave in his tone, neither was his expression.

"What a joke! It's just an executioner, how can it have that kind of right! Tell them to hand over the murderer!"

"It's too late." Okita made a beheading gesture. "The murderer's head has fallen to the ground."

"You... what did you say?" Because he was too shocked, the cigarette in his mouth fell on the wooden floor without realizing it, and Tufang hurriedly pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"The murderer was not handed over to the Shinsengumi, but to the patrol team. After a fair and rigorous trial, it was decided to execute him immediately. Afterwards, the murderer was executed by the hands of Ikeda Yaemon."

"No... No way! Is the sentence pronounced so soon?"

"It has been confirmed by the coroner that it is indeed the knife-testing murderer...the head of Ikeda Asemon." Okita took out a sheet of paper from his arms, with black letters on a white background clearly written on it. With official seal.

"Of course, it's just on the surface...Huh? It seems that we have other guests tonight."

Bai Yan nodded to the Shinsengumi member who sent him over, and pushed open the wooden sliding door in front of him after the other party left.

"It seems to be the right time for me to come, you two."

"Hmph." Tufang turned his head away, not liking to see this information dealer all the time.

"Oh, Bai Yan Danna." Okita pointed to a cushion next to him. "Is there any new information? Or, do you also want to get involved in this matter?"

"There is information, but the purpose of my coming here is to exchange with you." Bai Yan sat cross-legged, and tapped the floor with his right index finger twice. "Bring it here, Senichi."

"Yes, leader." Moriichi, who had already rushed over, appeared at the door holding dozens of information scrolls.Putting the scroll in front of Okita, he stepped aside.

"These are my sincerity. It contains the life story of the former generation of Ikeda Yaemon, and all the information of the [-]th generation Ikeda Yaemon, who is now the head of the Ikeda family. I didn't even have time to read some of them. The conversation between the two I heard a general idea, so I hope that Okita-kun can answer a little doubt."

"Tell me." Okita casually picked up the scroll closest to him and started flipping through it. The more he read, the more frightened he became.Although he knew the ability of the person in front of him for a long time, he did not expect the information to be recorded in such detail.It is a wise move to make friends with him.

"Ikeda Asemon, if this person is really the murderer, what is her purpose?"

"Huh? Bai Yan, but you don't know?" Closing the scroll, there was a slightly weird smile on the corner of Okita's mouth. "But this is normal. After all, your job is different from ours. Do you know... We have already found out the identities of the victims of the knife-testing murder incident. All of them are cleverly incognito. People with lofty ideals and related people who should be purged in large numbers. There are also people who participated in the battle of defeating Furuhara, the sister of Saitou Hitotsubashi, who is known as a fierce general in a certain war."

"Yiqiao?" Bai Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, he already had some clues.

"Zou Wu!" Hijikata frowned, and gave Okita a displeased look. This kind of thing shouldn't be discussed in the garrison so openly.

"Ah, it's okay, Hichikata-san." After finishing speaking, Okita turned his attention back to Bai Yan. "Even if I don't say it, Bai Yan, there will be a way to get it from other places, it's just a matter of time."

"Yeah, Mr. Okita praised you absurdly." Bai Yan's eyes were bent into a crescent, but he didn't intend to refute.

"Then let's continue... We all know that today is not what it used to be. The Shiyiqiao faction has occupied more than half of the shogunate, and it is gradually gaining momentum. After that war, they stayed away from power for a long time. But participating Those who fought for power after the war, nearly half of the followers of the clan, and even the people at the bottom were brutally purged. The tragic situation where even innocent women and children were ruthlessly killed is really sad. So in the troubled times, there appeared those who wanted to save those Human guy. That is the beheader... Ikeda Yoemon." Okita paused for a moment, as if observing Bai Yan's reaction. "Well, that is to say, the people who were killed by the current Yaemon... are all the people who were saved by the former Yaemon. In short, the head of the former Yaemon and the head of Gintoki Tanna are both Betrayed. In order to please Hitoki Hitohashi, who was rumored to be... the next general, was betrayed by that... Death God."

"Wait..." Bai Yan's expression froze, there was too much information revealed in Okita's words. "You mean, the murderer is not Ikeda Asouemon, but the current head of Ikeda Yaemon? What does it mean to be betrayed?"

"That's right. To put it simply... Ten years ago, those who offended Hitotsubashi, those who should have died in the purge operation... some people who were not directly involved in the crime were executed by public ceremonies——Sondai Ikeda Yaemon was secretly released. Well, this point must be Bai Yan, but that should be clearer than me. However, ten years later, these people were wiped out one by one by the current Yaemon through the hands of the Ikeda family. The people saved by Weimon were tested with knives... no, they were wiped out by the Ikeda family. Their bodies, the heads of the ancestor Yaemon, and the head of Shiraiyasha were all killed by the [-]th generation Ikeda Yoemon was betrayed. In order to please the Hitotsubashi faction, he deliberately dug out the past that even Hitotsubashi himself didn't realize, and Yoemon... gave these as offerings to others." Having said that, Okita frowned Pick lightly. "Bai Yan, but does that already know that Wanshiwu is involved in this incident?"

"No, I'm not sure." Bai Yan sighed faintly, that guy Yinshi was never free for a moment. "It's just that I investigated Gintoki's relationship with the Ikeda family a few years ago, so... this time I might be involved. Moriichi."

"exist."

"In the future, Shinsengumi will give you a [-]% discount on information purchases."

"Yes."

"Thank you very much." Okita nodded in satisfaction. He thought that the weight of these information scrolls would be enough, but he didn't expect the other party to give in again. "Okay, that's all I need to say... Mr. Tufang and I still have something to go out. According to the report from my subordinates, the boat to transport the corpse has already set off. But then, Bai Yan, do you want to come with us?"

"Well, please spare me." Bai Yan scratched the back of his head and stood up from the ground with a smile. "I'm used to going to bed early when I'm old, so I'll go back first. Thank you for today, Okita-kun... and Hichikata-kun."

"Walk slowly without sending."

……

Following Bai Yan and leaving the Shinsengumi settlement, seeing Hattori's house was close at hand, Moriichi said uncertainly. "Yan Sang, are you really not going to help?"

"Huh? Are you referring to Yinshi?" Bai Yan's footsteps showed no signs of stopping, but continued to rush home. "No matter what conspiracy the Ikeda family has, he owes him a favor. The cause was planted back then, and now he has to bear the karma that comes."

"Is that so..."

I thought the leader was really not going to intervene as he said, but within 10 minutes after returning home, Mori could not find Bai Yan.
