Only then did Ogata realize that many places in the corridor under his feet were covered with a colorless, odorless liquid that looked just like ordinary water.

Because he was on a pirate ship, it was a very common thing to find "stagnant water" in the corridor of the pirate ship's cabin, so Ogata didn't notice these "stagnant water" at all.

Then——Miyabe felt that his eyes were filled with flowers.

In just a blink of an eye, Ogata, who had been standing a few steps away, appeared in front of Miyabe.

While using stepping steps to dodge in front of Miyabe, Ogata took the Daishiten back into its sheath.

Bang!

Ogata pushed Miyabe to the ground.

The left hand controlled Miyabu's body and searched for possible weapons on Miyabu's body. The right hand stretched out the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger and inserted them into Miyabu's mouth.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with the madman who planned to destroy Kyoto last summer?"

While Ogata shouted so loudly, he groped Miyabe's mouth to check whether poison was hidden in his teeth, and at the same time, he prevented Miyabe from biting his tongue or licking his collar to commit suicide.

This method of checking whether there is poison hidden in other people's teeth was something Atachi taught him.

As a kunoichi, Atachi was systematically taught efficient suicide methods and methods to prevent others from committing suicide.

Hiding poison in teeth is one of the favorite methods of dead soldiers.

First, hide the poison in a hollow denture. When you need to take the poison, open the denture with your tongue and bite the pill.

Another favorite method of suicide used by dead soldiers is to apply poison on their collars and lick their own collars when committing suicide.

At this moment, the reason why Ogata used the method of "preventing others from committing suicide" that Omachi taught him, searching for Miyabe's teeth inch by inch, and preventing him from licking his collar or biting his tongue, was to prevent this guy from committing suicide.

suicide.

Ogata knows nothing about Miyabe. Who knows if he is the kind of ruthless person who will commit suicide without hesitation when the last resort comes?

He now has a mountain of questions that he wants to ask this guy, so he must not let Miyabe die like this.

After some searching, it was found that there was nothing in Miyabu's mouth.

And Miyabe's body was the same as his teeth - nothing, not even a single weapon was found.

"Ha... you are quite alert..." Because Ogata's three fingers are still in Miyabe's mouth, Miyabe's words are still a little unclear, "You actually know... to stop me from committing suicide.

.”

Miyabe is now not only unable to speak fluently, but also unable to swallow, so most of his face is covered with saliva.

But even though his appearance has become extremely embarrassed, he still has a plain smile on his face.

"But unfortunately - it's too late."

As soon as Miyabe finished speaking, his pupils began to shrink violently.

"Ahem! Ahem—!"

Miyabe suddenly started coughing violently, coughing up several large mouthfuls of hot blood, which turned Ogata's right hand red when it was inserted into his mouth.

"When... you defeated Morimaru... I had already... taken... the poison in advance..."

Miyabe cast a playful look at Ogata.

"There's no way to escape anyway... It's better to die...in your own hands..."

"Fortunately...for the purpose of...seeing your true face...the medicine that can destroy the human skin mask...is spread all over this place in advance..."

"Before I die... I can see what the heroes who can easily defeat an entire ship of pirates... and my subordinates... look like... It would be a regret to be able to..."

At this time, most of the human skin mask on Ogata's face had "withered".

The "withered" part of the human skin mask also fell from Ogata's face at this moment. It looked like the skin fell off and hung on Ogata's face, which looked particularly terrifying.

It was precisely because the "withered" part of the human skin mask fell off that Ogata's true face, hidden under the mask, finally appeared in front of people for a long time.

Looking at Ogata's face under the mask, shock spread across Miyabe's face at an extremely fast speed, and the smile on his face also dissipated slightly.

But soon——Miyabe calmed down his emotions and expressions.

"Hahaha..." A flat smile appeared on Miyabe's face again, "No wonder... No wonder Master Yitong's subordinates... and my subordinates... were easily defeated by you..."

"Since we were defeated by the executioner Ittousai...it can be considered an honor even though we were defeated..."

"Sir, he...sent so many people to look for you...I didn't expect that I would meet you in a place like this...it's really...a twist of fate..."

——Sent so many people to look for me...?

Because of more and more doubts, Ogata's brows frowned unconsciously.

"Hey! Who are you? What do you mean by sending so many people to find me?!"

Ogata could clearly feel Miyabe's vitality draining away.

But he couldn't do anything except shouting at Miyabe loudly and shaking Miyabe vigorously in an effort to keep Miyabe awake.

After all, he is not a doctor and has no ability to make a person recover after taking poison.

"Haha..." Miyabe, whose face turned extremely pale, smiled.

There was no fear or panic on his face, and he didn't look like a dying person at all.

"Now that I think about it carefully... I feel a little bit shortchanged..."

"Death in the hands of Ittousai... seems to be a little more painful than death... from poison... Haha... cough cough cough—! cough cough cough!!"

Miyabu coughed vigorously a few times again, so hard that it seemed like he wanted to cough out all the internal organs in his belly.

"It's such a pity... I haven't repaid... the kindness you've shown me...' Harami Seban'..."

After the words fell and the last syllable was uttered, Miyabe's eyes widened and his head tilted - there was no sound at all.

Ogata, as a "former staff member of the Shirobei Club" who once worked in Yoshiwara, is naturally no stranger to the "memory show" that Miyabe just mentioned.

The so-called "jiansefan", also known as "prostitute", is responsible for low-end jobs such as soliciting customers in Huajie.

At this time, most of the human skin mask on Miyabe's face had "withered" and fell off his face - underneath the mask was an extremely ugly face.

Too small triangular eyes, bulbous nose, thick lips... none of the facial features are noticeable.

And when these ugly facial features are combined, they form an extremely ugly face.

The only advantage of this face is probably that the skin is fairly fair.

Looking at the dead Miyabe, Ogata remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he raised his hand and pulled off the human skin mask that was about to fall off completely, and then put Miyabe's mask back on his face, making Miyabe return to his original handsome appearance...

But, just as he put down Miyabe’s body that had been shaking vigorously just now——

Gululu...

Something fell from Miyabe's body.

They are several small red pills.

Several red pills that smell like mint

Ogata was stunned when he saw the red pill falling from Miyabe's body.

This pill...Ogata has an impression.

Before, when he found Xuanzhi, Xuanzhi showed him exactly the same pills. Xuanzhi also planned to give the medicine he had collected to Ogata, but Ogata refused.

According to Xuanzhi, this is his master's unique poison.

Only Xuanzhi and his master Xuanzheng can make the extremely toxic medicine...

…

…

"Hahaha……"

While Yitong was panting heavily, adjusting his breathing, he stuffed handfuls of large sums of money into his arms.

Antong is in his room now.

He has a habit of putting money where his eyes can see it.

Therefore, all the 3,000 taels of gold that Miyabu had given him as a gift were placed in Yitong's room.

——Escape! Escape quickly!

There is only one thought left in Yitong's mind - escape!

Just now, after he followed Miyabe and Morimaru into the cabin, he thought they were trying to escape.

Unexpectedly, these two people actually planned to fight Ogata to the death.

Yitong has long been unable to feel any resistance to Ogata.

After learning that Miyabe and Morimaru actually planned to continue fighting Ogata, Yitong immediately shook his head like a rattle, saying "I quit."

Afterwards, he and Miyabe parted ways.

Miyabe and Morimaru made a last-ditch effort, while Miyabe returned to his room, preparing to take the money and run away.
