I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

The colleagues who rushed into the house had already scattered to chase after the members of "Renyi Zhong" in various corners.

Just as Qin Deng was pondering what he should do, he caught a glimpse of a strange dark shadow wriggling to his left.

Turning his head to the left, he saw a middle-aged man with wide eyes, shouting angrily as he charged at Qin Deng with a knife in hand.

His target is Qin Deng!

Seeing the middle-aged man charging at him with a knife, Qin Deng was startled at first, then as if by reflex, he drew the short knife from his waist, which was easy to swing in a narrow space, gripped the hilt with both hands, and quickly braced himself.

A strange sensation appeared in Qin Deng's palms.

Even though it felt like the first time I'd ever held a samurai sword, I clearly remembered how to hold it and—how to swing it!

There happened to be a window next to Qin Deng.

The bright moonlight shone through the window onto Qin Deng and his knife.

Under the moonlight, Qin Deng's knife reflected a dazzling white light.

"Die! You lackey of the Shogunate!"

As the middle-aged man rushed to within striking distance of Qin Deng, he roared and slammed his blade down heavily towards Qin Deng's head.

Qin Deng took a deep breath and quickly moved to the side, dodging the middle-aged man's slashing blade.

After his initial attack missed, the middle-aged man relentlessly launched another attack on Qin Deng.

Having just transmigrated, Qin Deng's mind was still in a mess.

I have no idea what time it is or where I am.

But he knew one thing—taking down this person who was clearly trying to kill him was the right thing to do!

clang!

Qin Deng used his short knife to block the middle-aged man's slashing blade.

The middle-aged man pushed forward with a bit of force, and Qin Deng countered with a bit of force, and the two began to wrestle.

This struggle did not last long.

Just a few seconds later, Qin Deng seized the opportunity and launched a flying kick, striking the middle-aged man hard in the stomach with his hard kneecap.

The middle-aged man let out a pitiful scream, then curled up into the shape of a shrimp, unable to even hold the knife steady.

Qin Deng then pressed his advantage and attacked.

He lunged forward and struck the old man's neck hard with the hilt of his short knife.

"Well……"

The middle-aged man made a sound like he was blowing bubbles, then his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground, face up.

Seeing that the middle-aged man had finally fallen to the ground, Qingdeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at that moment, a strange voice suddenly rang in Qin Deng's mind:

[Ding! Talent detected]

Chapter 2 Copy Talent System

—What was that sound?!

Qin Deng... or rather, Ju Qingdeng, was so startled by the mechanical voice that suddenly rang in his mind that he stood there dumbfounded.

Before he could even process the mechanical voice, his vision blurred and his eyes suddenly went out of focus.

Once his eyes regained their ability to focus, Qingdeng was surprised to find that his vision was clearer than ever before.

It was late at night, and the surrounding light was barely enough for Qingdeng to see the path beneath his feet.

Now, Qingdeng felt that everything in front of him was incredibly clear.

Even in the darkest corners where no light shines, Qingdeng can see everything clearly.

While Qing Deng was still shocked by the change in his vision, the arrest of the "Renyi Clan" had already quietly ended.

According to information provided by informants, the total number of members in the "Renyi Clan" is no more than 12.

Under the sudden attack of Qing Deng and his men, they were quickly captured. Those who surrendered were bound tightly with thick ropes, while those who resisted were executed on the spot.

"Oh? Tachibana-kun, you actually took down the second-in-command of the 'Renyi Clan'? Well done."

At that moment, Arima, Aoto's superior, spoke from behind him.

The official ranks of the magistrate's office can be roughly divided into three levels from the highest to the lowest: town magistrate, power officer, and commissar.

"Fengxing" can be understood as "mayor", "Yuli" can be understood as "middle-level cadres", and "Tongxin" refers to "grassroots staff".

Generally, one force tube is concentric with two to three others.

Aoto was Arima's direct subordinate and under Arima's direct command.

Qing Deng turned his head at the sound and saw Arima, with a few drops of blood splattered on his body and a long sword still dripping blood in his hand, walking slowly toward him.

Arima walked over to the middle-aged man who had been knocked unconscious by Qing Deng, bent down, quickly examined his injuries, and then stood up and said to Qing Deng:

"Ju-kun, well done! You've done a great job. You've successfully captured the second-in-command of the 'Renyi Clan'."

“This guy is the second-in-command of the ‘Renyi Zhong’, and he’s known as ‘Cat’s Eye’.”

"Cat's Eye?" Qing Deng asked, puzzled.

"This guy is said to be an extraordinary person who can see clearly like a cat even at night." Arima pointed to his eyes, "so he's known as 'Cat's Eyes'."

After speaking, Arima patted Aoto on the shoulder.

"Alright, stop standing there like idiots, let's hurry up and take these thieves back. The sooner we take them back, the sooner we can go home and rest."

"Oh, okay." Qingdeng nodded subconsciously.

In their surprise attack, of the 12 members of the Righteous Gang, 4 were killed, 2 were seriously injured, and the remaining 6 were captured alive.

The second-in-command who was taken down by Qing Deng was one of those captured alive.

Those who were already dead were simply wrapped in straw mats and sent back to the magistrate's office on a cart along with the seriously wounded. Later, the surviving thieves were escorted back.

After completing this troublesome task, it was almost half an hour later.

After successfully escorting the remaining members of the "Jin-gishu" back to the magistrate's office, Arima summoned everyone who had participated in tonight's arrest operation together.

"Gentlemen! Well done!" Arima said with a smile, "The thieves of 'Jin-gi-shu' have all been captured!"

"The magistrate is very satisfied with our performance tonight."

"so--"

It has a long, drawn-out tone.

"The magistrate just told me: everyone involved in tonight's operation will have a day off tomorrow!"

As soon as Arima finished speaking, cheers erupted from all sides.

Qingdeng did not join the cheering—because his mind was still foggy.

"Alright, everyone go home." Arima waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. "I'll take care of the cleanup afterwards."

Cheers erupted again.

After Arima announced the disbandment, the members left the magistrate's office in twos and threes and went home.

Aoto also slowly stepped out of the magistrate's office with a blank expression.

He was unaware that, starting just now, three samurai wearing straw hats had been lurking in a dark alley not far from the magistrate's residence.

After Qing Deng left the magistrate's office, the three samurai, clutching their swords at their waists, crouched low and quietly followed behind him...

……

……

After Qing Deng and the three samurai who had been following him had gotten far away from the magistrate's office, the clerks who had been responsible for carrying the dead and wounded of the "Renyi Clan" chatted idly while breathing warm air onto their frozen hands.

"Oh dear, this 'Renyi Zhong' has finally been destroyed."

"Without the 'Jin-gi-shu' (a group of righteous men), Edo should be able to become more peaceful to some extent."

"I wonder when we'll finally get rid of those people who keep talking about 'expelling the barbarians' and 'divine punishment'? Those people are really terrifying... I heard that Yamada from the Ginmi clan was ambushed by members of the 'expelling the barbarians' faction on his way home the other night and almost lost his life."

Why would the "anti-foreign" faction target Yamada?

"It is said that this is because Yamada once publicly declared his support for learning Western medicine."

"Sigh, those 'expelling the barbarians' people keep talking about 'expelling the barbarians,' but in the end, almost all the people they hurt and killed were Chinese. If they dared to jump into the sea and attack American steam warships, then I would respect them as heroes."

"Alright, let's stop talking about these depressing topics. Let's go have a drink."

……

……

Qingdeng followed the memories in his mind and walked on his way home.

But not far from the magistrate's office, Qing Deng stopped and sat down by the roadside.

He has no mood to slowly walk back to the home he remembers.

All he wanted to do now was figure out what was going on.

Qing Deng rubbed his temples vigorously, trying to recall how he had somehow traveled to ancient Japan...

Qing recorded his memories of the time travel clearly—he was a young man who had just graduated from the police academy.
