Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 27 Depression
The sky was covered with heavy snow, Kenshin had an empty look in his eyes, and he walked up the mountain step by step. The tone and composition of the picture all revealed an atmosphere of despair and sadness to the audience.

Someone has spoken in the barrage.

[Is it that serious? This is going to make me mentally collapse.]

【After all, he is just a teenager. 】

[He had no idea of ​​the harm his previous killings had caused to other people's families, and thought he was doing the right thing.]

[Now, it was the boomerang that stabbed him. He cared about Tomoe Yukishiro, so he felt the same pain for Tomoe Yukishiro's fate.]

Next, there is the ambush on the way up the mountain, which the audience speculated would happen and actually existed.

An agile man wearing a mask, using swordsmanship and hidden arrows.

He fought Kenshin without saying a word, except that he jumped down from the tree and shot Kenshin in the shoulder with the arrow in his hidden arrow.

His gorgeous and agile swordsmanship was no match for Kenshin.

After just a few encounters, Kenshin, who was in a trance and fighting on instinct, pierced his heart.

The assassin who used the hidden arrow shed tears before he died, and then used all his strength to detonate the nearby explosives.

Kenshin was affected by the aftermath of the explosives and suffered many small wounds, but he remained indifferent.

He just looked at Xue Daiba's blank steps forward in the direction of the top of the mountain.

Gao Mengwen felt very troubled by what she saw.

Blood was flowing from Kenshin's ears, and it was likely that his hearing had temporarily disappeared.

A feeling of sadness arises.

At the same time, Xue Dai Ba on the top of the mountain met the leader of the assassins, an old man.

She thought that since she had failed in her mission to assassinate Kenshin, she would simply die, and then the conspiracy against Kenshin would dissipate.

But the assassin leader told Xue Dai Ba.
Regardless of whether she decides to assassinate Kenshin or not, or whether she can find Kenshin's weakness, his goal has been achieved.

Yukishiro Tomoe has become Kenshin's weakness.

If Yukishiro Tomoe hadn't been on the mountain, Kenshin would never have insisted on going up the mountain to die even though he knew there was an ambush on the way.

Xue Dai Tomoe's expression changed. After realizing all the conspiracies, he wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped.

"At this point, it doesn't matter whether you live or die." The assassin leader said to her coldly.

He also threw away the dagger she used to commit suicide, which prevented her from biting her tongue to commit suicide.

"Indeed, she has become a bait. Dead or alive, Kenshin will go up the mountain." Gao Mengwen looked anxious.

A group of viewers also understood and posted comments.

[So from the beginning, the assassin leader didn't expect Tomoe Yukishiro to kill Kenshin, or even that Tomoe Yukishiro could find any weakness in Kenshin? ]

[From the beginning, he wanted Yukishiro Tomoe to be Kenshin's weakness. ]

[Only Yukishiro Tomoe is so stupid that he knows nothing and thinks that coming back to die will make this conspiracy against Kenshin fail? ]

【This is a honey trap! 】

[Even the beauty who cast the beauty trap herself doesn't know the role she plays? 】

[I don't dare to read on. Is Kenshin really dead? ]

[Absolutely impossible. Kenshin will definitely fight his way to the top of the mountain and kill this disgusting old assassin leader.]

In the following plot, there are more fighting scenes.

On Kenshin's way up the mountain, assassins came one after another and traps appeared one after another.

First, there was the assassin who used the hidden arrow.

Then there was the tall, strong, masked man wielding a giant axe.

An assassin with a grappling hook.

Explosives, flash bombs, hidden arrows, giant axes, ground spikes.
Various traps emerge one after another.

Kenshin was in a trance, but his body instinctively urged him to fight a life-and-death battle with these assassins.

Gao Mengwen's eyes widened.

The comments on the video are not like in the previous episodes where everyone is praising the high level of fighting scenes.

No matter how cool these fights are, they become more and more sad the more you watch them.

Kenshin's expression shows that he is determined to die.

In the end, Kenshin was seriously injured in the round-the-clock fighting.

His eyes were temporarily blinded by the flash bomb and another explosion.

He could neither hear nor see, but just walked towards the top of the mountain with a sword in hand.

Behind him were the corpses of the lurking assassins he had killed along the way.

The barrage only has a chance to breathe at this moment.

【Wow, I feel like crying after watching this.】

[Kenshin has already made up his mind to die. 】

[I feel like dying to apologize to Tomoe. A normal person wouldn't be able to move on after getting hurt like this.]

[Kenshin, don't go up there. Why would you go up there if you knew that Yukishiro Tomoe was a bait? ]

[If it weren't for the fact that Tomoe Yukishiro affected his fighting spirit, Kenshin probably wouldn't have been injured like this. ]

[It is difficult for a hero to resist the temptation of beauty. This is the first time I have a direct understanding of this sentence.]

[Will the screenwriter really let Jianxin die? 】

[Now that I think about it, what Master said when Kenshin left the mountain really made sense. After leaving the mountain, he would be pushed by the irreconcilable justice of all parties and would have no choice.]

[The assassin leader thinks he is protecting the current ruling class, maintaining stability, and preventing the world from chaos, and thinks he is righteous. Kenshin believes that the ruling class is corrupt and must be revolutionized, and also thinks he is righteous. Alas. ]

[Who is righteous? How can we tell? But if Kiyori dies, Tomoe will be sad. If Kenshin dies, Tomoe will also be sad. It's so painful to watch. ]

[No, I clicked into this episode hoping for a happy ending, please don't mess with me, screenwriter.]

Even Gao Mengwen was a little shaken at this moment.

No matter how badly Kenshin was injured, this could actually make it work. If the screenwriter didn't want him to die, he wouldn't die.

But what did the assassin leader mean by what he said to Tomoe Yukishiro during Kenshin's battle?
If Yukishiro Tomoe cares so much about Kenshin's life and death, he might even commit suicide to eliminate his own weakness.

What kind of existence does Qingli have in her heart?
For Kenshin, going up the mountain is a dilemma about rationality and his own happiness.

The same is true for Xue Daiba.

Can she really give up everything, forget Kiyosato, and stay together with Kenshin from now on?

Or.
The more Gao Mengwen thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Both the plot and the atmosphere are created well.

Nothing is right.

The tragic BGM slowly sounded
Kenshin, who was temporarily blind and deaf, began to have hallucinations in his mind on the way up the mountain.

All the scenes since I met Tomoe Yukishiro flashed through my mind. [Going to Otsu?]

Kenshin's inner monologue sounded.

Gao Mengwen was stunned. Dajin, what place?
【Going to Otsu? 】

Kenshin silently thought to himself again.

What kind of stream of consciousness line is this.

Gao Mengwen was a little confused.

"Going to Otsu?"

In the play, Kenshin opened his blank, unseeing eyes and shouted at the empty mountaintop.

At this moment, a barrage of comments floated by to explain.

[At the end of the second episode, when Kenshin and Tomoe Yukishiro left Kyoto, he proposed to go to Otsu with Tomoe Yukishiro and live as a fake couple! But in the end, the organization arranged for the two of them to live in seclusion in this place. ]

When Gao Mengwen saw this comment, she instantly burst into tears.

she understands
Kenshin had not forgotten this matter at this time, and all he wanted was to take Tomoe Yukishiro to the beautiful place where they were talking.
Live there as a real couple.

His biggest dream is as simple as this.

The strong wind blew Kenshin's sleeves and the snow fell heavily.

But in front of him was endless snow, and behind him were the people he had killed along the way.

However, no one responded to Kenshin at this moment.

Can the two of them successfully go down the mountain, go to Otsu, and become a real couple?
The more Gao Mengwen thought about it, the more her nose felt sore.

Unbearable.

Kenshin walked to the top of the mountain step by step, using his sword as a crutch.

There, waiting for him was the leader of a hostile assassination organization.

Although he is old, it is obvious that he is a master who survived from a pile of dead bodies when he was young and has survived to this age.

He is no match for Kenshin.

But now Kenshin's eyes were temporarily blinded by the flash bomb.

The sound of the explosion caused temporary deafness in my ears.

His mind was on the verge of collapse because he was the one who killed Yukishiro Tomoe's fiancé.

There were still wounds on his body from fighting with a bunch of masters who came up the mountain along the way.

The plot of the fourth episode reaches its climax at this moment.

Gao Mengwen held her breath. She was afraid that Jianxin would lose, so she could only hope in her heart.

"Don't make trouble! Writer, let Jianxin counterattack in desperate situation!"

But the plot is obviously not that cliché.

Because of the flash bomb, he could hardly see anything, and could only see the afterimage in front of him. He could not hear anything, and his fighting spirit was worn down to the lowest point. Kenshin could only fight the assassin leader in this situation.

This was a one-sided beating.

Kenshin could only protect his vital parts, but his injuries continued to worsen.

While the two were fighting.

Yukiyo Tomoe in the temple seemed to see the figure of her fiancé Kiyosato next to the Buddha statue.

Maybe it was a vengeful spirit, or maybe it was just an illusion in her mind because she was too sad to know that Kenshin would die because of her.

The other party just looked at her with blood all over his face.
There was no blame, just as much tenderness as he had shown her when he left his hometown.

The phantom of the ex-husband in the temple.

Kenshin is in life-and-death crisis outside the temple.

The look in Yukishiro Tomoe's eyes changed from confusion to clarity, and then to determination.

Gao Mengwen suddenly had a premonition.

Kenshin was knocked down by the old assassin once again. Both the old man and Kenshin knew that he was now at the end of his strength and had no strength to fight on.

Kenshin stood up again and gripped the sword in his hand. Although his eyesight had not yet recovered, his aura had changed and he was filled with murderous intent.

Kenshin rushed towards the old assassin, his body bursting out at desperate speed.

His inner monologue began.

[I killed so many people just to exchange for the happiness of more people. ]

【But, Ba, you lost your happiness. 】

[I took away your precious person. But I fell in love with you without knowing it. ]

[I have no right to protect you.]

Kenshin gripped the sword in his hand and slashed at the black shadow in front.

[Even so, I want it.]

Even so, Kenshin still wants to protect Tomoe Yukishiro.

Kill these people and bring her down the mountain safely so that she will no longer be exploited and controlled by these organizations.

Kenshin seemed to hear the words that Xueshiro Tomoe once said to him gently.

He couldn't see clearly with his eyes, but he saw hallucinations in his mind.

That was the grave that Kenshin helped the thieves and the prostitutes who protected him dig in the first episode.

There was a new tombstone, and wrapped around it was the scarf that Xue Daiba had given him.

Kenshin said word by word.

"I want to protect you."

Hallucinations disappear
Gao Mengwen burst into tears.

Kenshin's sword struck the old assassin's neck.

But it wasn't just the old man's neck that was hit.

The sword also slashed Xue Dai Ba's shoulder, penetrating more than ten centimeters, and the white bones were visible.

Tomoe Yukishiro stood in front of Kenshin, using his body to block the dagger that the old assassin was stabbing at Kenshin's chest, and he held the dagger blade tightly with both hands to restrict his movements.

This way, Kenshin's sword can accurately hit the old assassin even though all he can see is a black shadow.

The surging video comments in the fourth episode all disappeared at this moment.

Gao Mengwen kept her lips tightly closed.

She lost all illusions about the show having a happy ending.
