Rinruo: I originally thought of her as a thin and cute little girl, but now she finally has the feel of a big boy.
Leng Yihan: That's going too far.
Lin Yao: You're overthinking it. It's because you haven't seen him or heard his voice. If you had, you would only think Yi Han is cuter. It would be cute to hear such manly words spoken with such a cute voice and such a cute appearance.
Yilin: Agreed!
Leng Yihan:......
Leng Yihan couldn't help but roll her eyes, but the other five people couldn't see it either, since they were communicating through their communicators and couldn't even see each other's faces.
Linruo: How about... we go into a small alley first and change our cloaks? Normally, when my sister and I go out, ordinary cloaks are fine; those men won't dare to mess around.
Speaking of which, Rinruo, you've gotten quite talkative here... and Yilin too, is it really true that they're two different people online and in private...?
Yilin: No objection.
Rin: Let's decide on that then~ It's the third alley from the left, let's hurry up!
The six quickened their pace, making sure no one was in the alley before entering. They took off their invisibility cloaks and put on ordinary cloaks. Seeing their own people made them feel much more at ease.
"Ugh... I suddenly feel like the communication device is so slow... It'll be faster if I just say it out loud." Lan Mu stretched and complained.
"You should be content. Let's go, let's get out..." Before Leng Yihan could finish speaking, a group of people walked towards them, carrying a woman into the alley from outside. The two groups awkwardly exchanged glances.
"Help! Help me!" Upon seeing someone, the woman immediately cried out for help. Leng Yihan remained silent for a moment, then pretended not to see the group and walked around them.
Everyone else knew why Leng Yihan did this, and after hesitating for a while, they also went around her, trying to pretend they hadn't seen her.
The law of the jungle prevails. Since we've come to this land of freedom, we should be prepared for the worst.
"Hey... do you know who she is?" Suddenly, one of the group turned around and looked at Leng Yihan, probably because he saw Leng Yihan leading the way out and assumed that he was the captain of the adventure team.
"What does that have to do with me?" Leng Yihan deliberately made her voice hoarse, not wanting to reveal her true voice. "I don't want to get into trouble like this."
Even so, his fists were already clenched under his cloak. If these people continued to cause trouble... he wouldn't mind taking action.
"Is that so..." The man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then threw a punch without warning at Leng Yihan. Leng Yihan was on guard and slightly dodged the punch, quickly stopping the others who wanted to make a move.
"Hmph, not bad, not bad reaction." The person who stopped Leng Yihan did not continue to attack, but made way for her. "I hope you won't tell anyone what you saw today... otherwise..."
"No, no, no..." Leng Yihan shook her finger, "I also want to talk about this, but keeping this a secret... it's best to keep it a dead man's mouth."
The man's pupils contracted as his head was severed from his body. The two blood-stained daggers in Lin Ruo and Lin Yao's hands were conspicuous. The instant the two made their move, Leng Yihan drew the katana hidden under her cloak from her waist and beheaded them all without giving them a chance to cry out.
As she sheathed her sword, the stench of blood in the air and the gruesome corpses on the ground made Leng Yihan's stomach churn, and she almost vomited. The woman who had been dragged there by this group sat pale-faced to the side, watching the seven men who had captured her and acted so imposingly turn into corpses, their blood stained on them.
"This cloak is no good." Lan Mu took off the cloak, which was covered in blood, and threw it aside. With a slash of his broadsword, he cleaved a person in two, and the death was definitely the most gruesome one.
"Here you go." As soon as Lan Mu tossed it away, Yi Lin handed him a new cloak, which Lan Mu naturally took and put on.
"Who are you?" Leng Yihan stopped speaking in that hoarse voice and looked at the woman lying on the ground. "If you tell the truth... I might let you die a little easier. After all, the dead keep quiet." Leng Yihan waved the katana in her hand intentionally or unintentionally.
"No...don't kill me! I'll do anything...anything!" The woman saw Leng Yihan brandishing her knife and was so frightened that she scrambled backward, but she didn't get far before she crashed into a stone wall.
"Who are you?" Leng Yihan repeated the question.
“I…I am Kasala, the daughter of the founder of the Silvermoon Merchant Guild. My father recently came to the Free Lands to do business, and I never expected to encounter something like this when I came out alone.”
"Doing business?" Leng Yihan frowned. Although he didn't know how powerful the Silver Moon Merchant Guild was, he knew they were no ordinary people just because they dared to come to the Free Land to do business. But what puzzled him now was—who was he going to do business with? Why would someone who was probably a big manager come to the Free Land in person to meet and discuss things in detail?
"Do you know who he's going to do business with?" Leng Yihan's knife was stuck not far in front of Kasala.
"No, I don't know! I really don't know!" Leng Yihan's small action frightened Kasa so much that his face turned pale. He panicked and tried to crawl backward, but there was already a wall behind him, and he couldn't move an inch.
"..." Leng Yihan looked at Lin Yao, trusting that she could tell whether the person was telling the truth or not.
"Is that so... I guess he wasn't lying. After all, the bigger the deal, the less likely you are to reveal too much to too many people." Hearing Lin Yao's words, Leng Yihan put away her katana, which made Kasala breathe a sigh of relief.
"Who do you think we'll be doing business with?" Leng Yihan asked.
"Well..." Rin shook her head. Although she had been here for a long time, it seemed that she still didn't understand it very well.
“Demon Fiend,” Yilin suddenly said, then typed a series of words into the communicator and sent them to everyone.
Irene: I think it should be Demon Fiend. After all, the only person in the entire Free Land who could get someone from the Silver Moon Merchant Guild to come up with such a thing is Demon Fiend. After all, the Silver Moon Merchant Guild is a merchant guild in a level zero city, and it has considerable influence in level zero cities.
A powerful merchant guild in a level zero city sent a top manager to the Free Land to do business. The person must be someone of considerable status. Thinking about it... it seems that it really can only be Demon Fiend.
"I see..." Leng Yihan subconsciously touched his nose. If his hands hadn't been free of the blood from the dead people, he probably would have had a nosebleed by now.
"Then why are you walking on the street?"
"My father wanted to discuss business with a very important person, so he told me to come out for a walk. I did, but the guards didn't follow me... and then..."
What an intellectually challenged guard! But if he came along, he wouldn't be able to carry out his plan.
“By the way, Miss Casala, we can be considered your benefactors, right? I wonder if... we could ask you to do us a small favor?” Leng Yihan smiled kindly, though Casala couldn’t see it.
"W-what small favor?"
118 Nightmares (10)
"Father!"
"Oh my darling daughter, are you alright? I was so worried about you!" Leng Yihan and her group followed behind Kasala, watching her rush into the arms of a chubby middle-aged man.
“We almost got into trouble, but luckily someone came to our rescue! It’s these people.” Kasala pointed to Leng Yihan and her group from the middle-aged man’s arms. It seemed that he had no intention of revealing their identities and was cooperating with Leng Yihan and her group.
"It was nothing, after all, those guys had offended us too." Leng Yihan said in a hoarse voice, her eyes secretly glancing at the round, chubby middle-aged man behind her, at the guy with the upturned nose who was just holding up a handrail.
I don't know what he has to be proud of... Is this guy a high-ranking member of the Demon Fiend?
"Thank you very much! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kadra, and I am one of the head managers of the Silvermoon Merchant Guild. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you." The head manager was indeed good at interpersonal relationships, and he kept coming up with polite words.
"Dad, can they be my bodyguards for now? Otherwise, I don't feel safe walking on the street." Kasala pouted and started to act like a girl who knows how to be cute and silly.
In the end, Kadira couldn't argue with his daughter. After briefly discussing the payment with Leng Yihan, he suddenly remembered that he had been neglecting his important client for a long time, so he quickly turned around and took care of him.
"By the way, you're locals, right? Could you please show my daughter around the city?"
"Understood." Leng Yihan watched as Kadella and the arrogant guy next to him gradually moved away. Under her cloak, she picked up the communicator and checked if her companions had sent any messages during this time.
Lan Mu: How is it? Is it someone from the Demon Fiend?
Yilin: To be able to maintain such an attitude in front of the head manager of the Silver Moon Merchant Guild... I'm afraid this time, breaking into the Demon Fiend headquarters will be more difficult than we thought.
Lin Yao: Is it confirmed...? Yes, it is. Although that person isn't from our department, I remember he's a diplomat from the Demon Fiend, and everyone in the Demon Fiend knows him. His name is Deng Zou.
Four Little Waters: What should we do? What should we do? I'm so nervous! Could it be that he sent someone to kill us? What if Key recognized Rin and Rin? We're so close to the enemy's headquarters!
Yilin: Xiaoshui, calm down.
Lan Mu: Xiao Shui, calm down.
Rin sisters: Shui, calm down.
"Um...that..." Leng Yihan hadn't finished reading the message, and the other five were still chatting when she heard Kasara stammering.
"What? Is something the matter? We're practically your bodyguards now, so we can help you with some things. But what we want to do will definitely come first. Of course, this won't affect your safety, so don't worry." Leng Yihan rattled off a whole bunch of things at once, and Kasala didn't quite catch on. After a moment of stunned silence, he finally hummed in agreement.
"Um... can I go to the restroom? I don't know the way..."
"..." Leng Yihan was speechless, but at this moment Lin Yao also heard her words. He stepped forward, leaned close to Leng Yihan's ear, and whispered that he knew the way. Then Lin Yao led the way.
They happened to go to a tavern and sat down, mainly to let Casala use the restroom first. According to Rinyao, public restrooms are very dangerous, and it is safer to use the restrooms in shops. They also had a chance to discuss their next plan, so they found a tavern to sit down.
"What are your plans for the future?" Si Xiaoshui asked the five of them in a low voice while Kasala was away.
“I’m looking for a breakthrough with that diplomat… Lin Yao, he should be very familiar with the internal structure, right?” Leng Yihan looked at Lin Yao.
"Well... I'm not entirely sure, but I think I know pretty much everything. After all, he has a lot of authority and can go to many places. And all he has to do is talk to people. Unlike us assassins, who can only go to the place where we receive the mission every day and have to worry about being killed if the assassination fails." Lin Yao laughed self-deprecatingly.
"How about this, in a bit we..."

When Kasala returned, Leng Yihan had already ordered several dishes. The group wanted to have a good meal instead of eating the food that Yilin created with her powers every day. After all, Yilin was terrible at creating food with her powers for some reason, so they ate very simply all the way from Desa.
By the way, I don't know what came over me when I omitted the fact that the male protagonist and his group arrived at the Land of Freedom in the early morning of the previous chapters, but they definitely ran all night. I'm too lazy to go back and revise it, so please bear with me. (What a piece of trash, the author is terrible.)
The money they used to buy things came from their own savings, as well as the bag of 100 silver sand coins that Kadira had just given them.
Sand coins are the common currency in all cities of the Demon Desert, including the Free Land. Even though Leng Yihan complained about the name for a whole day when he first learned about it, he eventually accepted this bizarre name.
After finishing their meal, the group dutifully acted as Kasara's guides, touring half of the Free Land. After confirming the location where Kasara and Deng Zou were discussing business, Leng Yihan escorted Kasara back to her residence. Then, the six of them found a small alley, took off their original cloaks, and put on invisibility cloaks. They began to stake out Deng Zou, but they wouldn't stay there indefinitely, or they would suffocate.
Finally, they split into two groups to take turns watching Deng Zou and the others run off to observe the terrain of the Free Land. Leng Yihan was with the Lin sisters. The three of them were highly skilled and daring, and they ran directly to the 'above' of the Demon Fiend Headquarters.
The entrance to the Demon Fiend headquarters was just an ordinary little tavern, but the entire Demon Fiend headquarters was roughly the size of the entire underground of Freedom Land. In fact, it had been completely hollowed out, and all the Demon Fiend people were here.
After watching for a while, the three of them started running around the entire town. When the appointed time arrived, Leng Yihan returned to the original place and switched places with another group, and began to monitor Deng Zou.
The two chatted for who knows how long, and the group had basically explored the entire Free Land, even taking turns to take a nap on the rooftop, but he still hadn't emerged. Just as the four of them (the Lin sisters were assassins after all, with plenty of patience) were getting impatient, their target, Deng Zou, finally appeared before them. "Wake up, wake up! He's here, he's here! Cheer up!" They quickly woke up Lan Mu and the four little waters who were still sleeping, and the six of them began to approach Deng Zou.
Deng Zou spoke slowly and deliberately, with a satisfied smile on his face, indicating that he had gotten a good deal.
Hmph, you'll be too smug for long...
Looking at the arrogant Deng Zou, Leng Yihan couldn't help but sneer. Since they wouldn't harm the Lin sisters now, let them make a mess of the whole organization. After all, the two were just doing things for money. To be honest, Leng Yihan still had a bit of a saintly heart and couldn't bear to do anything to them.
Tsk tsk, am I being too gentle...?
Soon, the area Deng Zou went to gradually became sparsely populated, which was near the restaurant close to the Demon Fiend Headquarters. It was a very remote place with hardly any people, which made it easier for the six of them to move around. After confirming that no one was around, the group rushed forward.
The four children immediately administered banned drugs, rendering Deng Zou incapacitated. Then, Yi Lin conjured a gag out of thin air and stuffed it into Deng Zou's mouth to prevent him from making a sound. Leng Yihan and Lan Mu immediately lifted him up, while the Lin sisters provided cover for them.
Before Deng Zou could react, he found himself bound by something invisible, unable to move. Just as he was about to cry out, a gag appeared out of thin air and was stuffed into his mouth. Then he was lifted into the air and carried to a side alley.
"Hmph, that was easy." Si Xiaoshui proudly put her hands on her hips. Although she hardly had to do anything, she had at least given someone a taste of the drug...
"Hey, friend, I hope you don't shout, or who knows what might happen." Deng Zou was already wide-eyed with fright. There was clearly no one around, so how could someone be talking?
“Let’s make a deal. Our offer is that you can live your own life in peace, and we want you to show us the way to that place underground,” Leng Yihan said. Deng Zou didn’t respond, but continued to look around frantically.
Signaling Lan Mu to hold his head down, Leng Yihan disgustedly removed the gag from his mouth. No sooner had she taken it out than Deng Zou began screaming, "Help! Help!"
"..." Yilin silently made a towel and covered Deng Zou's mouth again.
“We hope you can cooperate a little, and we will give you another chance. If you keep shouting…” In Deng Zou’s eyes, it was as if a crack appeared in space, and a hand in it pulled out a katana and stuck it not far in front of him.
"Can you be quiet?" Leng Yihan said kindly. Deng Zou immediately nodded, and Leng Yihan then took out a towel. Deng Zou indeed stopped yelling and looked at the place where Leng Yihan was in fear.
"Well... let's get down to business."
