Yesterday, I experienced the "treatment" of wiping the general's mouth, but I just thought it was just Esdeath's personality.
Although every man has dreamed of having a harem, it's just a dream.
He's currently preoccupied with the Protoss fragments and doesn't have time to fantasize about beautiful women throwing themselves at him.
Looking at the panel, the regression values are steadily rising, which means that we are heading in the right direction.
There is no doubt that the fragments are located in the capital.
The only question is how it came to be and whether it has now fallen into someone else's hands.
"Alright, let's set off now!" Esdeath ordered.
The sun was shining brightly in the capital.
Lu Ye and Esdeath walked down the street. Because it was a special mission, they could not reveal their identities, so they were both dressed in civilian clothes.
Lu Ye was dressed in ordinary gray clothes, while Esdeath wore a white T-shirt. Her long, ice-blue hair, which reached her calves, was tied up slightly, making her look more capable.
"Captain, the road we're taking doesn't seem to lead to the luxury ship," Lu Ye said.
Esdeath's side has two civil officials overseeing her.
First, there was the area near the capital; second, there was a huge luxury passenger ship moored at the starting point of the Grand Canal.
Considering the issue of combat strength, the first two groups went to the outskirts of the capital. Lu Ye and Esdeath, on the other hand, operated on the Grand Canal.
However, Esdeath's course of action seems highly suspicious at present.
Because this is not the road to the Grand Canal at all!
Looking at the surging crowds and carriages before him,
Lu Ye thought to herself that if she wasn't mistaken, this should be the commercial street south of the canal.
"Oh, that's not our jurisdiction. You just need to stay here with me... Want some ice cream?"
Esdeath pointed to the small cart not far away.
"So, there are already people on the other side of the canal?"
Lu Ye astutely grasped Esdeath's unspoken meaning.
However, the rest of the hunter squads had already gone to the outskirts, so who were the people left behind on the canal?
“That’s right, my direct subordinates, the Three Beasts,” Esdeath said. “They’ve already infiltrated the luxury cruise ship, just waiting for Night Raid to come. I’ll act as bait. Night Raid probably already knows I’m back in the capital, so I’ll give them a chance. There are people watching us on the street right now.”
After saying that, Esdeath chuckled softly, her smile filled with chilling intent.
Skilled hunters often disguise themselves as prey.
Esdeath did exactly that.
Although it is the strongest in the capital
But if someone is strolling around in a bustling city in casual clothes, to an outsider, she would definitely look like she's having a relaxing time.
For an assassin, the best time to strike is when the target is off guard.
In other words, she was luring the night raid into taking action.
“But… Captain, if you’re going to be the bait, wouldn’t it be better if you did it alone?” Lu Ye asked.
Esdeath bought two strawberry-flavored ice creams from the shopping cart and handed one to Lu Ye.
“You’re just a ‘supporting role.’ I don’t often stroll the streets, otherwise the assassin organizations that frequently operate in the shadows of the capital would have already tried to take me down.”
As she spoke, Esdeath suddenly took Lu Ye's arm.
Lu Ye tried to pull his hand out with some force, but to no avail.
He finally understood why Esdeath had brought him along.
As Esdeath said before.
She rarely goes out alone, and her sudden appearance on the street today will surely arouse suspicion from the enemy, who will wait and see.
Therefore, she, as an actress, needs a prop, or rather, a supporting role, to assist her.
Going out with your boyfriend or friends seems much more reasonable.
As a female general, it's normal for her to have several men under her command to solve problems.
"Can I ask you something, Captain?"
"explain."
Esdeath licks her ice cream like a cat.
Perhaps it's a girl's sensitivity to sweetness, but she seemed somewhat happy.
"Who exactly are those Three Beast Warriors, and why didn't you tell us beforehand?"
“Oh, so that’s what you’re asking about,” Esdeath said. “They were originally planning to join the Hunter squad, but I sent them on a mission before that, which was to assassinate those disobedient civil servants.”
Lu Ye thought to herself that this made sense.
Civil officials were merely a means for her to achieve her goals.
Esdeath assassinated the civil officials and then framed Night Raid, forcing Night Raid to take action in an attempt to wipe them out.
The Three Beast Warriors were the wild beasts she sent out.
However, he still put on a very surprised look.
"Assassinate a civil official?!"
"That's right, I was planning this before the Hunters were even formed, but I only killed those disobedient civil officials, so don't worry."
"Disobedience means...?"
"That is, someone who disobeys the ministers."
“Disobeying a minister…”
Lu Ye has a deep understanding of these four words.
The disobedient ministers meant that, as Najeta said, those civil officials were truly concerned about the country and its people.
Those who cannot stand up against this corruption and refuse to be complicit in it.
Chapter 238
It was almost noon, and the weather was getting a little hot.
Lu Ye went to the side to buy chilled juice.
Ice cream melts very quickly in this kind of weather.
In order to get rid of it as soon as possible, Esdeath sat down on a bench on the side of the street and looked across the street.
There is a little girl across the street.
Perhaps because she was walking too fast, she tripped and fell, and the butterfly-shaped balloon in her hand got caught on a tree, and the string got tangled in the branches.
She stared at the balloon through teary eyes, her lips pressed tightly together as if she were about to cry.
Seeing this, Esdeath raised her left hand while licking her ice cream scoop.
A tiny ice cone slowly condensed at her fingertips.
A moment later, the ice spike shot out and precisely severed the branch entangled with the thread.
A branch fell to the ground, the little girl picked it up, untied the string, and the kite was found again.
Watching the little girl skip away, Esdeath's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
Lu Ye bought two bottles of water and sat down at the other end of the bench.
“But they didn’t do anything heinous, did they?” Lu Ye said. “Since they didn’t break the laws of the capital, then why…?”
He felt it was a real pity that those civil officials had been killed.
I once handled a case where an official distributing food to people in the slums was murdered, and a few days later his entire family was wiped out, including the young girl in the family.
Lu Ye couldn't understand.
He was genuinely working for the country, yet in the end, he died a humiliating death...
"Is there a problem with that?" Esdeath said dismissively. "I've already said it before, the minister and I share common interests."
"For the war?" Lu Ye asked.
"It's not just that. The strong prey on the weak, and the weak will be eliminated. That's the truth of this world!"
Esdeath's voice was not loud, but it was strong and clear.
"Really? Then the people in the capital must be very weak too. Is it their own fault that they live like this?" Lu Ye said. "Captain, I grew up in a village on the border of the capital. Do you know why I left my hometown to come to the capital?"
"do not know."
“I came here to save the village. The taxes there have been collected for a hundred years…that is, in 2010!” Lu Ye said. “If the young people in the village don’t come out to earn money, everyone will starve to death.”
The village that Lu Ye mentioned is the village of the Tatsumi trio.
The three young men came to the capital with dreams of making a name for themselves, but their most fundamental task was to earn money and send it back to their village to ensure that everyone there wouldn't starve.
Lu Ye learned about the tax matter from Tatsumi.
There are many people like the Tatsumi trio in the capital.
“The people are too weak, so it’s only natural that they are exploited by the ministers.” Esdeath remained unmoved. “I’ve said it before, weakness is the original sin. This is how the world is. Dangerous species, humans, animals, nothing can escape this boundary.”
Lu Ye felt her blood pressure rise.
As a good young man who grew up under the red flag, he knew about that period of his country's history.
Is weakness the original sin?
Go to hell!
The idea that "weakness is the original sin" is utterly absurd to Lu Ye.
People commit atrocities but blame the weak victims.
Using words like "backward" and "weak" to cover up the source of evil actually represents their own weakness.
