In the silent space, the three of them lowered their heads and silently stared at their wrists, the awkward atmosphere between them was so obvious.
Perhaps the awkwardness in the space was too dense. The surrounding space suddenly cracked, and dense cracks spread like spiderwebs in all directions, covering the ground and the sky with terrifying fissures.
"Wh… what's going on?"
Before Kondo Isao could finish his sentence, the surrounding space suddenly shattered, and the scene before his eyes abruptly changed.
Kondo Isao regained his senses and found himself lying back on the ground, his green monster plushie costume was still on him, not having slipped down to his waist.
Were those just my dreams?
Kondo Isao looked up, searching for Hijikata Toushirou and Okita Sougo. He noticed the high-tech bracelets on their wrists.
It doesn't seem like a dream.
Kondo Isao, his fingers fiddling with the bracelet through the thick mascot costume, thought to himself.
In a corner of the street, beside the wall of a dessert shop.
The light in Mu Yang's eyes gradually faded, and the energy that had enveloped the surroundings dissipated. The time slowing and space shattering effects were not real, but a fabrication woven by Mu Yang's illusion.
Whether it was using illusions to weave a false illusion, or using powerful strength to truly create the effects of time slowing and space shattering, it was the same for ordinary people; they couldn't tell the difference.
Therefore, since it could be easily done with illusions, why bother putting in the effort to make it real?
Mu Yang's gaze shifted past the blockade, locking onto Sakata Gintoki, who was looking around at the crowd, and sent him a message.
"Shinpachi-kun, let's go."
Mu Yang walked a few steps along the wall, entering the alley between two houses and heading towards the next street. Shimura Shinpachi didn't object and followed closely behind.
At this moment, Okita Sougo, standing beside the police car, seemed to sense something and glanced back at the alley beside the dessert shop without any warning.
"What's wrong, Sougo?" Hijikata Toushirou, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, noticed Okita's action and asked.
"Nothing. Just felt like someone was just here," Okita Sougo stared intently at the alley.
Hijikata Toushirou glanced at the empty alley. "Probably just some ordinary people trying to get a look."
That's how ordinary people are these days; they flock to wherever there's excitement, regardless of whether there's any danger. Especially when they see a place cordoned off by the police, they become incredibly curious and have to take a peek to satisfy their curiosity.
"Maybe," Sougo replied, withdrawing his gaze.
...
On the neighboring street, Sakata Gintoki met up with Mu Yang.
"Where's Kagura?" Gintoki asked Shinpachi, looking at the two of them, alone in the group.
Hearing this, Shinpachi briefly explained the situation to Gintoki, while also introducing the street to Mu Yang. He'd tell Gintoki about what happened before, and then introduce Mu Yang to a shop, saying, "That's the XXX shop."
He spoke in a jumbled manner, yet he didn't get confused, and his words were clear and concise. He managed to explain the situation in a few sentences.
"Too bad, we didn't get to meet," Gintoki sighed. He did want to chat with Kagura's father.
"It's okay, I'll give you Mr. Kamui's contact information," Shinpachi raised his arm and gently shook it, the tech bracelet on his wrist drawing attention.
"Wait a minute!" Gintoki raised his hand, his eyes fixed on Shinpachi's wrist, and exclaimed, "Huh... a bracelet..."
"I gave it." Mu Yang interjected, "A gift."
I know it was you. You don't need to point it out.
Shimura Shinpachi had been following Mu Yang, so Sakata Gintoki could guess the source of his bracelet just by thinking about it with his little toe.
Gintoki created a group and pulled Shinpachi in, who then added Kagura, Kamui, and Katsura Kotarou.
Hmm... I seem to have missed quite a bit of the plot.
Gintoki stared at the familiar names in the group list, pondering for a moment before shifting his gaze to the unfamiliar ones.
Forget about Zura for now, let's talk to him...
Gintoki privately messaged Kamui, while Shinpachi, acting as a guide, continued his diligent introduction to the various buildings along the way.
For instance…
"That building is the Ditch Rat Group's headquarters. The Ditch Rat Group is one of the Kabukicho Four Heavenly Kings, an organization led by Doromizu Jirochou."
"That shop is a transvestite club, a transvestite restaurant run by Saigou Tokumori, one of the Kabukicho Four Heavenly Kings. They provide song and dance performances."
"That's the Edo Vegas Casino, a casino run by Kato, one of the Kabukicho Four Heavenly Kings, and also the largest casino in Kabukicho."
"That's Takama-ga-hara, the most famous male host club in Kabukicho."
"That's…"
The three of them spent the entire day exploring every corner of Kabukicho.
During this time, Gintoki's gaze never left the private chat interface, sometimes calm, sometimes angry… He didn't know what he was chatting with Kamui about, but his expressions constantly changed. He could put together a whole set of emoji expressions, encompassing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Mu Yang and Shimura Shinpachi both ignored Gintoki, focusing on their own activities. One explained, and the other listened. Through Shinpachi's explanations, Mu Yang gained a preliminary understanding of Kabukicho.
\n\n
During their walk, Shinpachi and Gintoki met some acquaintances, but Mu Yang didn't recognize most of them.
\n\n
Thinking about it, the anime only showed a corner of a vast world, spanning only four or five years.
\n\n
However, Sakata Gintoki had lived in Kabukicho for far longer than that, so the people he knew were naturally more than what was shown in the story.
\n\n
At dusk, Mu Yang bid farewell to Gintoki and Shinpachi.
\n\n
The two of them, having spent the day wandering around, returned to Otose's Bar. They found Kagura, who was freeloading as usual, and after a simple dinner, they went home to rest.
\n\n
After saying goodbye to Gintoki and the others, Mu Yang went alone to the rooftop of a tall building. He gazed at the sunset slowly sinking below the horizon. Darkness gradually descended, and dazzling, colorful neon lights began to illuminate the city. A bright moon hung in the starless night sky, while spaceships, flashing with lights, soared through the air.
\n\n
A cool breeze blew as the night deepened.
"It's about time."
Mu Yang stopped counting how many spaceships flew past and turned his gaze to the dazzling city in the night.
Kabukicho First Street, also known as the Sleepless Town, meaning it's as lively as day and night.
But lively as it may be, sleep is still necessary.
During the day, Mu Yang had selected some candidates. At this moment, most of the people he'd chosen had already fallen asleep.
"Let's go!"
A gust of wind blew by, and Mu Yang transformed into a hazy smoke, merging into the wind and drifting into the city, entering some people's dreams.
.........
The sky was gray, thick with rolling, dark clouds. Ferocious-looking spaceships broke through the cloud cover, their underbellies compressing the air and creating visible air currents as they descended, both slowly and swiftly...
The dark red earth was barren, devoid of any vegetation. Broken blades, damaged guns, and cannons littered the ground, and limbs were scattered about.
Billowing black smoke rose, like demons clawing at the air. The acrid smell of blood, gunpowder, and various other odors mingled, creating a foul, heavy atmosphere.
