Chapter 17 The loser eats the dust
Night fell, the clouds covered the moon, and soon after a thunder, it started to rain lightly.
While staying in his room, Qingshui Koji had nothing to do. He took out his bamboo knife from his bag and looked at the rain outside the window. His mind gradually drifted away, recalling the Tie Zhuyu he met a few days ago.
True swordsmanship.
Although Koji Shimizu is not a person who is really obsessed with kendo, he is indeed interested in this stuff. After all, currently, this is his only way of self-defense and fighting, not counting fists and kicks.
gun? You have to be talented, and you have to avoid trouble with the police and so on.
And if you can't master your own pair of Sharingan in a short time, it would be a good choice to learn about this real swordsmanship.
But, what is the real swordsmanship?
Qingshui Koji felt a little strange, wasn't it just a few chops and stabs? There couldn't be any sword energy left, right?
Shaking his head to get rid of distracting thoughts, Shimizu Koji was about to close the window, but there was a sudden pattering of footsteps downstairs, at least four people, which made him stop his movements and look out doubtfully.
At the gate of the villa, Xiaolan was held by Ohta Katsu's hand, sharing an umbrella and walked out of the rain curtain, heading towards the dark woods.
walk?
Shimizu Koji looked at the other two people, Sonoko and Conan, who were crouching closely behind Ohta Masaru and Xiaolan.
"What are you doing?"
Qingshui Koji's eyes narrowed slightly, a little confused.
The only information in his brain currently makes him unable to understand the situation. What are these two people doing when someone else is dating? Are they causing trouble? Or, peeping?
After thinking about it, Shimizu Koji ruled out the option of voyeurism. Although the impression Sonoko gave him was not very good, it was only limited to some nymphomaniacs. Sonoko would not do such a thing without morality and taste as peeping, so then , it can only be causing trouble.
Looking at the dark forest, the rain was still falling. Although Suzuki Ayako had just made an ambiguous joke and asked him to protect the garden, in this situation, he really needed to follow up and take a look.
Carrying a bamboo sword, Koji Shimizu looked at the height from the second floor to the ground and jumped directly from the window sill.
There was a "pop" and only a slight splash of water. Koji Shimizu locked his eyes on Conan and Sonoko and followed them quickly.
And with his speed, within two seconds, he was hanging behind the two of them at a suitable distance.
Conan and Sonoko seemed to have a perfect understanding of each other at this time. Although they didn't say a word, they moved in unison, looking forward, lowering their heads, crawling forward, and hiding from trees. It almost made people think that the two of them were playing some kind of imitation show.
"ah--!"
But soon, with the rumble of thunder, Xiaolan's scream came from ahead.
While Shimizu Koji was still hesitating whether it was because of the interest of the date or some unexpected situation, Sonoko and Conan had already rushed out.
When Sonoko and Conan arrived, the only one at the scene was the panicked Ota Sheng. He was startled again by the sudden appearance of the two people.
"Um, you guys, well, that Miss Maori was frightened by the thunder, I..."
Yuanzi and Conan, who were anxious to find Xiaolan, had no time to pay attention to him. The handsome guy showed an apologetic smile to everyone.
And not even a minute later, another scream rang out. Compared with the previous scream, this time it was obvious that something unexpected had happened.
Shimizu Koji, who was following in the dark, hesitated for a moment, then avoided the three people in front of him and rushed towards the source of the sound.
"You, who are you! Ah——!"
Shimizu Koji rushed to the scene and happened to see Xiaolan with a look of fear on her face as she dodged a big ax blow from the cloaked and bandaged man, but fell to the ground as a result.
The ax blade shimmered in the rain and the dim light of the night, and a powerful blow directly drove half of the ax body into the ground.
"Shimizu-kun!" Xiaolan immediately showed a surprised expression when she saw Shimizu Koji, and the bandage weirdo immediately pulled out his ax and struck Xiaolan directly.
Shimizu Koji did not respond, and raised his sword. Although this posture was difficult for ordinary people to exert force, with his own strength, he directly knocked the ax out of the bandage monster's hand.
The bandage weirdo didn't expect this to be the case at all. He glanced at Koji Shimizu in confusion and horror, and then walked into the dark forest without looking back.
Qingshui Koji took one step forward, but then looked back at Xiaolan who fell to the ground, still in fear. He hesitated for a second, then walked back to her and reached out to help her up.
"Sister Xiaolan!"
"Xiaolan!! Shimizu-kun!"
Yuanzi and Conan finally rushed over. The two of them immediately saw the ax hitting the tree behind Xiaolan. They were both frightened. They quickly stepped forward to hold Xiaolan and asked and comforted her.
"Woo, I'm fine, Sonoko, Conan, and Qingshui, thank you."
After comforting Xiaolan, Conan asked a few simple questions and walked to Koji Shimizu's side without saying a word.
"Did you find anything?"
Koji Shimizu glanced at Conan, who looked a little gloomy, and shook his head.
It was too dark at night, and the other party was obviously familiar with this forest. He didn't pursue him, so naturally he didn't find anything.
However, he did have a guess.
"You, Yuanzi, Xiaolan and the others should go back first. I'll look for you here."
"I'm here to help, too."
"No, you go back."
Koji Shimizu looked calm, and Conan was stunned for a moment after being rejected.
But following Koji Shimizu's eyes, he looked down and saw his small body, clenched his fists, and felt a little unwilling, but finally left with Xiaolan and Sonoko.
Watching them all the way into the villa, Koji Qingmizu turned his head and glanced at the dark forest before walking towards the villa.
However, he went around to the dark place on the side of the villa and did not go in directly.
About twenty minutes later, Shimizu Koji had already frowned. When he was about to go back, there was a strange noise in the forest. He, who had been paying attention to the movement nearby, immediately became alert. Following the sound, he lurked secretly.
After everyone left, Chikako Ikeda also left the villa, but she left through the back door, and before that, Ayako Suzuki sent her back to the room.
Therefore, no one knew about her outing.
When Ryoichi Takahashi was interrupted by Koji Shimizu from his impromptu murder plan, he ran to the appointed location and quietly waited for the woman to come to his door.
He didn't dare to go back because the look in Koji Shimizu's eyes made him a little scared, as if the other party had seen through him.
As for Chikako Ikeda's ambush, the message could be seen as long as she returned to the room again, so he just had to wait here.
As for the identity being revealed, to be honest, the plan was disrupted, three unexpected people appeared, and now, he can no longer care about that much.
No matter what, he wants that woman to die!
And finally, living up to his expectations, Chikako Ikeda felt unhappy and went back downstairs without staying any longer.
After returning home, she naturally saw the note left by Takahashi Ryoichi. She didn't even know about the bandage weirdo. She didn't even know about Xiaolan's attack at this moment. She just gritted her teeth and secretly resented it and left alone. Villa, followed the message and arrived somewhere in the forest.
However, before she could say anything like "come out", Takahashi, who had been lying in wait for a long time, was like a ferocious beast that saw his prey coming to the door, and he suddenly pounced on him with his spare axe.
When Koji Shimizu arrived, under the thick darkness of night, he could vaguely see black blood mixed with countless rainwater, meandering between the weeds and the exposed surface.
A person who was alive not long ago, now, the corpses are different, the head and limbs, and the bones of the torso can be seen at the joints of the pale and bloody bones.
"Heh--, you're here."
"It's a pity that you're late."
When Takahashi Ryoichi heard the footsteps, he stopped and threw Chikako's head towards Koji Shimizu's feet.
He knew that he had been exposed and had no way to escape, but the cruelty in his heart and the psychopathy after killing people still prompted him to take such actions. He wanted to anger Koji Shimizu.
But it's a pity that Koji Shimizu is not a bad person, but he is not a good person either.
He didn't even take a second glance at Chikako's head. If anyone had nothing to do with him, let him die. He himself had died so many times.
Koji Shimizu looked cold and waved his bamboo sword, and a slight sound broke through the air. The next moment, the tip of the bamboo sword was pressed against the forehead of Ryoichi Takahashi who had taken off his disguise.
"You still want to fight me?"
Takahashi Ryoichi was still struggling in his heart, but he didn't expect that he had just revealed a trace of ferocity. The blade was pointed directly, and the faint voice sounded again, which instantly poured a chill into his heart full of violence.
"You didn't expect that a kid in the first grade of high school could be so scary."
"But, if, if I don't have you this time!!!"
"Ha——, but it doesn't matter. Although I have been exposed because of you and have no way out, that woman is finally dead."
Takahashi Ryoichi lowered his head, his voice was hoarse and gloomy, and his figure was much thinner now that he had taken off his disguise.
The fat face with glasses looked a little strange, and tears kept pouring out of the corners of his eyes, mixing with the rain.
It was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing, but his mental state could already be seen from his somewhat delirious words.
Therefore, Shimizu Koji did not ask further questions because he knew that this guy would most likely explain everything himself.
Ryoichi Takahashi went crazy for a while, and finally looked up at Koji Shimizu.
"Aren't you curious about this?"
"You said it, I'm listening."
"Oh, you little brat, you are so calm and scary."
Although Hiroshi Shimizu is even taller than him, he knows the age of the other party. Although Ryoichi Takahashi does not even have the courage to take action, he speaks in the tone of a senior who needs to be beaten, and he is really unambiguous at all.
With a distorted concept of hierarchy, Shimizu Koji had no expression on his face. He just turned his wrist slightly and gave him a loud slap with the blade of the sword.
The loser should act like a loser.
