"Kuroro wants to spend the night here tonight?" Looking at Yoshitomo who was kneeling in front of him, Wen Xian's face was expressionless, making it difficult to see what he was thinking right now. Only a bit of surprise appeared in his eyes.

.

"Yes!" Yoshitaka said loudly, "My dear brother, he said he wanted to spend the night here so that he could chat with me for a while, whom he hasn't seen for a long time."

"...Didn't he just say that he would only stay here for a while?" Wen Xian asked.

Yichao opened his mouth and was about to say something when Wenxian spoke again:

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't make any difference whether he stays here for an hour or until tomorrow." Wen Xian waved his hand, "Go and tell him that I will only keep him until tomorrow morning at most. After tomorrow morning, he must leave me."

…

…

Wenxian watched Yoshitomo leave.

After Yoshitomo left, Wen Xian also slowly stood up from the tatami, and then walked straight towards a room deep in the mansion.

This is a room with an ordinary looking door.

But behind this seemingly unremarkable door, there is actually a small Buddhist temple.

In the center of the Buddhist hall, there is a small Buddha statue only one person tall.

This Buddha statue has its hands clasped together and its eyes half-closed, looking down forward as if looking down at all things.

Anyone with an in-depth understanding of Buddhism will immediately recognize that the true face of this Buddha statue is none other than Vairocana, the most supreme Buddha in Tantric Buddhism.

However, after entering this small Buddhist hall, Wen Xian did not glance at the Buddha statue of Vairocana. He only walked straight in front of the Buddha statue and walked to a knife rest placed in front of the Buddha statue.

There is only one knife placed on this knife rest.

A knife with an extremely curved blade and black and purple scabbard and handle.

Wen Xian took the knife off the knife holder with both hands, and then slowly pulled the blade out of the sheath.

Canglanglang.

As the blade was pulled out of the sheath inch by inch, Wen Xian's eyes were illuminated by the light reflected by the blade.

The light reflected by this knife actually had a hint of strange purple light... Wen Xian's pupils were covered with a purple light.

"How?" Mamiya asked Yoshitomo who had just returned.

Yichao nodded: "It went very well. Father agreed to keep you until tomorrow morning."

"That's good...then I'll ask you to bring lunch and dinner to Yoshitomo."

"Brother, won't you... come and have dinner with us?"

"If I eat with you, the atmosphere will be very awkward." Mamiya smiled, "Based on my current relationship with my father... Mr. Yamada Asemon, if I eat with him at the same table, I'm afraid it will be awkward

Everyone finds the food in front of them difficult to swallow."

"So it's better for me to eat alone."

After saying that, Mamiya stood up.

"Okay, Yoshitomo, let's go to your room."

"I stayed here on the pretext of 'talking to you more', so it's better to stay in your room as it won't make people suspicious, and it's more convenient for us to stay in your room all the time."

action."

"Yes!" Yichao nodded his head extra hard, "Let that girl escape from this hell tonight..."

about half an hour ago

Yamada Asemon Residence, Harama Palace’s Room

"A girl who can regenerate organs?" Mamiya's eyes widened in shock as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, "...Yoshitomo, tell me clearly, what is going on?

"

"Everything... begins more than a month ago..." Yichao lowered his head and said slowly, "One day more than a month ago, I was ordered by my father to go to the execution ground to execute the death row criminals, and

My father went with me to check my current skills..."

When the younger generation first took over the execution work at the execution ground, the older generation provided supervision and guidance. This was considered one of the unwritten rules of the Yamada Asaemon family.

"After successfully executing the condemned prisoners of the day, I went home with my father."

"But on the way home, my father and I suddenly heard strange noises coming from the alley next to us."

"When I entered the alley, I saw that it was two gangsters bullying a little girl."

Mamiya listened carefully and nodded in response from time to time.

In Edo, which has a population of one million, there is naturally no one. It is just a very common scene for gangsters to cause trouble everywhere.

"Those two gangsters wanted to insult the little girl. When my father and I arrived, one of the gangsters had already taken out a knife and cut off the girl's clothes."

"If you see something like this with your own eyes, there's no reason to turn a blind eye."

"I drove away those two gangsters all by myself."

"Things have developed quite normally until now..."

"But the next scene that happened in front of me was completely abnormal..."

"When the two gangsters were cutting the girl's clothes with a knife, because the girl struggled desperately, the knife accidentally cut her forearm."

"I wanted to take the girl to a doctor for treatment."

"But when I went to help the girl, the girl resisted desperately and said, 'Don't touch her.'"

"At first I thought it was just that the girl had just been frightened and hadn't recovered yet."

"However... when I just helped the girl up, I saw that the girl's wounds were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"In just a few blinks, the girl's injuries were completely healed."

"At that time, my father and I, who was standing next to me, were both frightened..."

"In my entire life, I have never seen such a scene... It has subverted my understanding of everything in the world."

"And when I didn't know what to do... my father had already come to his senses first... and started to take action..."

"The father knocked the girl unconscious and then took the girl home..."

"Sometimes... I really feel that my father is a terrible person..."

"Witnessing such a horrifying scene, while I was still dumbfounded and at a loss, my father quickly came to his senses and immediately thought that this girl would be of great use..."

"After the father forcibly brought the girl home, he began the test."

"He wanted to test whether the girl's wounds could heal so quickly, and whether her organs could recover after being damaged..."

"So...the father locked the girl in the basement and started testing..."

"The test results... made my father smile..."

"This girl's organs can regenerate on their own..."

"then……"

Before Yoshitomo finished speaking, Mamiya, who already had a gloomy look on his face, had already finished the rest of what Yoshitomo said:

"So the father imprisoned the girl and kept taking the girl's guts to make human gallbladder pills."

"...That's right..." Yoshitaka closed his eyes with a face full of pain, "That girl is very young. Although she is a little malnourished, her bile is still a high-quality bile that is suitable for making medicine..."

"Yoshitomo." Mamiya asked in a deep voice at this time, "Besides you and your father, who else knows about the existence of this girl?"

"Except for me and my father, no one else knows that there is such a magical girl locked up in the basement below our mansion." Yoshitomo replied, "My father did not tell anyone about the existence of this girl, nor did he tell anyone about the existence of this girl.

Report to the shogunate. Father, he probably wants to monopolize this girl so that she can help him continuously produce high-quality human gallbladder pills."

"...Yoshitomo, are you involved in this inhumane pharmaceutical practice?" Mamiya asked.

"No!" Yoshitaka opened his eyes fiercely and denied, "I have never participated."

"When my father first started using this inhumane method to make medicine, I thought it was too inhumane. I kept trying to persuade my father not to do such cruel things again, and to let my father let this poor girl go free."

"But my father said, 'Countless people will be saved because of high-quality human gallbladder pills. What's the reason not to do something like this that can benefit the public?'"

"...Ha." Mamiya sneered, "It really sounds like... what he would say..."

"Father can mercilessly regard this girl as a pharmaceutical tool, but I...can't..." Yoshitaka continued softly, "In order to alleviate the guilt in my heart as much as possible, I have been chatting with the girl,

Trying to comfort her as much as I can..."

"Although she has a very magical body, judging from her words and deeds, she is a very ordinary girl no matter how you look at her."
