How would I, a living person, know this?
But the next second, a thin line of blood appeared on the woman's neck.
then,
Blood splattered in the air, and heads flew up before crashing to the ground.
The woman's eyes still held a question about what had just been asked.
But in fact, she died the moment Zank asked that question.
Looking at the three corpses, all of which had been decapitated, Zank couldn't help but laugh.
"This is so much fun, I just can't stop! So... who's the next target?"
……
Inside a bookstore located on a street corner in Beijing.
“There’s hardly anyone left on the street. According to the intelligence provided by Lu Ye, the patrol team should be on the other side of West Street now.” Lubbock pulled up the curtain used for observing outside. “We can move out now.”
“I have no objection, but… what should we do with this child?” Hill tilted her head.
"That is indeed a problem." Akame stared at the blonde girl in front of her, thought for a moment, and took out a wrapped piece of jerky from her pocket. "How about you stay here and eat this?"
Violet looked at the jerky, thought for a moment, took it, and then shook her head. "No."
Mine went to bed early.
She ran away with Lu Ye while Mine was sleeping.
Lu Ye didn't refuse, after all, Violet's perception ability was very strong, which would be of great help to this mission.
"It's alright, Violet can come with me." Lu Ye patted the girl's head. "She's very strong!"
"Since you put it that way... then I'll team up with Akame and Hill?"
Lubbock's eyes lit up, and he reached out to put his arms around the two girls.
But Akame tapped him on the forehead with the scabbard.
“I’ll team up with Hill. Lubbock, you use your Imperial Arms to create a barrier and search for Zank’s whereabouts. He should be wandering somewhere in the Imperial Capital right now.”
"What? So I'm still all alone?" Lubbock sighed.
“Your Imperial Arms is not suitable for combat,” Akame said, “and you won’t be in any danger if it’s just for searching.”
“That’s hard to say… Alright, I’ll help you find him,” Lubbock cautioned. “But remember to put your weapons away. If you’re trying to lure that guy, you can’t show any signs of wariness!”
“Yes, we will,” Hill said with a smile.
After finalizing the plan, the two groups immediately began their operation.
There are already guards patrolling to the west and south.
So the two groups went to the north and east respectively.
Lu Ye and Violet walked along the street, the dim streetlights illuminating the path beneath their feet.
The plan was to pose as a pedestrian out at night to lure Zank out.
Therefore, neither of them was carrying any weapons.
No, to be precise, the weapon was stored in the storage space.
The two chatted as they wandered aimlessly through the wide streets.
The conversation was simple and nothing special.
Lu Ye simply wanted to ask how Violet and Mine had been getting along these past few days.
Violet honestly recounted how Mine had taken care of her all those days and how she had used her as a body pillow at night.
Lu Ye was very angry about this.
Violet can only be my body pillow!
Waaaaah, my body pillow!
However, seeing the smile that unconsciously appeared on Violet's face when she talked about Mine, Lu Ye could only keep his desire to possess her to himself.
This girl must really like Mine; maybe they've become good friends without even realizing it.
"Oh, is that so? Then how about you live with Mine from now on?"
Violet walked behind Lu Ye, unconsciously listening to his somewhat sarcastic words while quietly stepping on his shadow.
Although Mine is a very good person and her good friend.
But she still wanted to go with Lu Ye.
His feelings for his friends and his feelings for Lu Ye.
Although she couldn't quite put her finger on it, she felt that the two shouldn't be confused.
A night breeze was blowing.
A figure lurks atop the high-rise buildings in the neighborhood.
"Heh, I didn't expect that after I, the murderer, made my move, the assassin would also show up."
A green device on Zank's forehead flickered with a faint light.
Through this device, he could take in the entire cityscape of the capital.
Security forces.
Akame and Hill.
Lu Ye and Violet.
He could see everything clearly.
Zank looked up at the full moon in the sky and laughed.
"Even the moon is so round, it's a perfect night for an execution!"
Chapter 199 Go, Violet!
"I never expected that after I, the serial killer, made my move, even the assassin would show up."
He could see Akame's face clearly through the green, eye-shaped device on Zank's forehead.
After all, he was a former executioner in the capital, so of course he recognized the faces of the infamous Night Raid members.
Zank thought for a moment and decided not to attack Akame and Hill for the time being.
After all, they are members of "Night Raid," and it remains to be seen whether their strength is as great as rumored.
"Let's practice a bit more before we make a move on those two."
Zank turned his gaze to Lu Ye, which was located on the north side of the bustling street.
……
"So... the beef patties that Mine took me to eat before were really delicious."
Violet continued recounting her time with Mine.
"Violet, I'll take you to eat beef patties later. Let's go to the square now," Lu Ye suddenly said to the girl.
Violet paused for a moment, then nodded excitedly.
Although Lu Ye really wanted to hear this enthusiastic girl continue, it was time to change direction.
Having wandered the streets for so long, and with Zank still not showing up, the only place left to go is the central square in the north.
Just to be on the safe side, it's best to double-check.
But after walking a few steps, Lu Ye realized the girl wasn't following, so he turned back and asked, "What's wrong?"
“It looks like someone is watching us,” Violet said.
Just as Lu Ye finished talking about going to the square, she sensed someone approaching.
"Do you know the direction?" Lu Ye immediately became alert.
“It’s over there,” Violet pointed to an alley not far behind her. “There’s a human presence there.”
"Want to come out and chat late at night?" Lu Ye put his right hand behind his back.
"I see, so they're not like those young couples who used to run around everywhere the other nights. How delightful..."
Now that we've been discovered, there's no need to hide it anymore.
Footsteps sounded.
The man who emerged from the alley was about two meters tall.
He had his hands tucked into his brown coat, and a manic smile on his face that even the mentally ill would find enviable.
Violet frowned slightly.
She sensed an intense killing intent emanating from the man in front of her.
This made her feel very uncomfortable, and her body involuntarily tensed up.
"So that's how it is. You're the one who beheaded Zank?"
As Lu Ye spoke, she observed the man in front of her.
Judging from his appearance, this guy wasn't carrying any weapons.
But judging from what he just said, this guy had already killed someone before he found him.
We must be wary of that hands-in-pockets gesture; who knows if he might pull a gun out of his pocket?
Besides that, what bothered Lu Ye was the eye-like thing on Zank's forehead.
It is entirely emerald green, about the size of a palm, flat in shape, and fits perfectly against the forehead.
To call this mere decoration would be far too unconvincing.
The only possibility is that this eye-shaped thing is Zank's Imperial Arm.
But what its capabilities are, Lu Ye remains unaware of for the time being.
