"Good morning, Brother Lu Ye."
"Good morning, are you done with your patrol?"
"Hmm, no anomalies in the East District!" Iyeas reported.
“It’s the West District,” Sha You said irritably. “Not only is she terrible with directions, but her memory is also awful, really…”
"What a joke! I'm here to make a name for myself. A mere direction is nothing to me, is it?"
“Um…” Tatsumi raised his hand, “I think it would be a bit difficult for someone who can’t even find their way around the streets to make a name for themselves.”
"What? You say that too!"
The trio was as energetic as ever, and Lu Ye could tell that they had a really good relationship.
No wonder they grew up in the same village.
"By the way, are you guys free lately? There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor," Lu Ye said.
"We will definitely do whatever Brother Lu Ye orders us to do!" Iyeas patted his chest and assured him.
"It's like this, recently a magical medicine seems to have appeared in the Anning Road area. It is said to be able to cure all diseases. I hope you can investigate it."
"Investigate the potions on Anning Road... Okay, we understand."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
After giving these instructions, Lu Ye turned to go back to his office.
As he passed through the gate of the guard post, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure dressed in a black sailor uniform out of the corner of his eye.
She was a girl with short black hair and deep black eyes.
Lu Ye felt something was off.
Because when he first saw that girl, he thought he was seeing Akame.
Chapter 226 Join the Hunters
But it's clear that the girl wasn't Akame.
Akame has long hair, rare red pupils, and is also taller.
The two are at most similar in appearance.
Lu Ye didn't know where this sense of familiarity came from, and he didn't pay much attention to it, assuming that the girl was there on business with the police station.
At the end of the corridor, Lu Ye walked up the stairs.
But the moment Lu Ye touched the handrail, his hand was pressed down.
Those were slender, delicate hands.
The blue veins are faintly visible on the surface of the skin.
Lu Ye turned his head in surprise and saw the girl with black hair and black eyes.
"Your name is Lu Ye, right?"
The girl wore a faint smile, but there was no smile in her deep, dark eyes.
Lu Ye thought to herself that this was probably just a forced smile.
However, he still answered the girl's question.
"...Yes, is there something you need?"
As he said this, Lu Ye's muscles under his uniform tensed slightly.
This is a sign that they are about to unleash their full power.
As someone who cherishes life, Lu Ye was on high alert.
How far away was the girl from him just now?
It's only about ten meters from the entrance to here.
But the distance from the corridor to the stairs was only three or four meters.
In other words, the girl traversed a distance of six or seven meters in a few seconds without making any footsteps.
This is not something an ordinary person can do.
Moreover, although the girl's hands looked delicate, they were actually quite strong, holding Lu Ye firmly like a pair of pliers.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you to come over."
"Where?" Lu Ye said, "I won't go anywhere other than the red-light district."
"The Imperial Palace."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye was stunned, and at the same time, the image of a figure with a size somewhere between a bear and a pig appeared in his mind.
"Were you sent by the minister?"
"No, I was sent by General Esdeath."
The girl gently removed her hand from Lu Ye's hand.
"From today onwards, we are colleagues. Please take care of me."
"what?"
The sudden turn of events left Lu Ye somewhat bewildered.
Was it Esdeath who sent someone to find me?
And this girl...did she just say the word "colleague"?
……
"Click-clack-clack-clack..."
The sound of biting into a cookie kept echoing in my ears.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Ye and the girl walked side by side on the street. The girl was carrying a cloth bag filled with snacks.
Their destination was naturally the royal palace.
Lu Ye has already learned the details of the situation.
Simply put, Esdeath formed a special police force specifically to target the assassin organization "Night Raid".
What makes it special is that it is a force composed of Imperial Arms users.
Their name is "Hunter".
As a "Teigu user", Lu Ye was naturally recruited as well.
This also appears to have been approved by Minister Ernest.
Lu Ye never expected that the identity of a Teigu user would be so highly regarded.
At the same time, he started to make his own plans.
Joining the "Hunter" meant that he was fully aware of every move the squad made.
In this way, the "night raid" will not only avoid any casualties, but will also be used to formulate a counterattack plan.
Moreover, the "Hunters" are Esdeath's direct subordinates.
In other words, as a member of the squad, one has the authority to move freely within the palace.
This time, they've brought in a mole.
"Click-clack-clack-clack..."
The sound of the cookie being bitten still echoed.
Suddenly, Lu Ye's hand reached for the cloth bag in the girl's hand.
But he failed.
Because the girl reacted quickly, she swiftly hid the bag to her side.
"I won't give it to you!"
She said this while eating a cookie, like a little dog possessive of its food.
"No, I was just wondering, is your name Kurohime?"
"How did you know?" The girl paused for a moment.
Lu Ye didn't speak, but pointed to the cloth bag in the girl's hand.
There was a label on it that read "Black Eyes' Snacks" in big letters.
The girl then realized that Lu Ye hadn't been trying to steal her snacks, but rather to confirm the names on them.
"I forgot to mention earlier... my name is Kurohime, but I still can't give you the snacks."
Kuroko stubbornly guarded her snacks.
This appearance reminded Lu Ye of Akame.
She's quite possessive of her food; anyone other than her companions who wants to eat her is simply dreaming.
The two arrived at the palace quickly.
Led by Kurohime, the two arrived at a place that resembled a courtyard.
"This is the conference room that General Esdeath specially prepared."
After a brief introduction, Kurohime pushed open the door.
This is a very spacious room, with a long table in the center of the living room.
Four people were already seated around the long table.
The moment the door opened, four pairs of eyes turned to look at them.
"Oh, is that the newcomer?"
A bespectacled, flamboyant man sized up Lu Ye.
"Hmm, nice figure, quite muscular."
