What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

Minister Ernest slowly opened the package and looked into the eyes of the skinny Sheila.

“This is…my son…Silla?!”

Connor had already read the blade of the three-dimensional mobile device in his hand and stabbed it directly into the minister's heart from between his ribs.

Pfft!

"Ah!" The minister wanted to scream, but his heart and lungs were pierced and he could only make a very small roar.

"Since they are father and son, then it's easy to deal with. I am a kind person, and I hate to see other fathers and sons separated by death."

The shining knife light cut through the elegance of the attic, and blood splattered out.

In order to prevent the minister from having taken any of the potions, Connor cut off the minister's head with his second blow.

Looking at the minister's head with his eyes open, Connor put it together with Sheila's shriveled head.

"mission completed."

After wiping off the blood, under the cover of the bloody smell of the super dangerous arthropod, Connor swaggered out of the attic and took back his battle axe from Suzuka.

"The minister is checking the seized imperial weapons inside. No one is allowed to enter without his order." Connor said to Suzuka seriously.

Suzuka, still maintaining her bent posture, nodded, indicating that she would do a good job of guarding the door and no thief would escape her perception.

Just as the horse came back, Connor repeated his words and left the minister's mansion with three thousand gold coins at a fast pace.

71. Everything is false, everything is permitted

Minister assassinated?

When Suzuka brought the news to the palace, it immediately caused an uproar.

Well done... No, who dared to assassinate Minister Ernest in the imperial capital? General Bud left the table in anger.

He was also planning to gather up the rebels in the revolutionary army and annihilate them, then lead his troops back to kill the minister and his followers!

"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!" General Bud knelt on one knee and said to the little emperor who had lost his backbone and was secretly heartbroken.

"We must conduct a thorough investigation," the little emperor glanced at Esdeath, "and leave it to Lord Esdeath's Hunters..."

"Your Majesty! I suspect that the one who assassinated my master was General Hunter!" Suzuka was heartbroken. How could she and Matou believe Connor's lies? Did they really think that Minister Ernest was inspecting the imperial equipment? After more than an hour, the two of them realized that something was wrong.

When they pushed the door open to check, they found that the minister, whose head and body were separated, had been drained of blood by the blood-sucking imperial weapon and had been dead for a long time.

call--

The cold wind from the north devoured the souls of everyone in the palace, and the super-dangerous species dormant in their blood seemed to have really resurrected.

"You said that Kitty defected?"

Esdeath's cold voice seemed to freeze Suzuka and Matou's souls. The two girls, dressed very coolly, shivered and said, "Suspicion, just suspicion! From the time my master was last alive to the time the body was found, only General Hunter came here. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of a more skilled assassin."

Faced with Esdeath's power, Suzuka and Madoka added the second half of the sentence against their will.

"Sir Esdeath, why don't you call General Hunter over and ask him?" the little emperor said. "If he comes, then it proves that he is not the assassin. If he cannot come or disappears, then we can only trouble the general to capture him and bring him back for interrogation."

The little emperor never doubted Esdeath. With Esdeath's strength, he could become the queen even if he killed everyone present.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Esdeath immediately walked out of the palace and hurried to the Hunter's station.

After arriving at the base, Esdeath was shocked to find that all the imperial weapon users she had recruited from the empire were injured except for Dr. Fashion and the masked man Porus, as if they had all experienced a life-and-death battle. The one with the least injury was Kuronetsu, who now let the nurse bandage his wound.

Everyone was there except Connor.

"General..." Lan climbed up from the bed weakly. This was not entirely fake. During the battle with the clown, he had been hit hard by several imperial weapons and was seriously injured.

"what happened?"

"This is the paper report I wrote..." Lan handed the blood-stained report to Esdeath and roughly recounted what happened today.

Xiaoying led them to kill a super dangerous species that was released into the imperial capital, and also killed five evil thieves who used imperial tools? Esdeath raised her eyebrows. What a magnificent record.

However, the more impressive the data on paper, the more Esdeath wanted to kill Connor.

If such a strong person betrays me, there is only one way out, which is death.

"Where's Connor?" Esdeath asked.

Lan coughed violently several times, as if he was going to cough out his lungs: "General Connor... He broke the taboo and used two imperial tools to eliminate the super dangerous species..."

"The result was permanent organ failure..."

"I can testify that an injury like that cannot be faked or cured. He still tried to escort the imperial weapon, luckily he met the Imperial Capital Guard on the way who helped deliver it." Dr. Fashion interrupted. He personally diagnosed Connor's injuries an hour ago when he returned to the base and immediately declared that he was beyond help.

"General, do you know how I felt when I saw the nurses carrying them in and then I saw two patrolmen hurriedly carrying General Connor?"

Dr. Fashion originally wanted to ask Connor if he was willing to be his cadaver teacher, but unfortunately.

The two patrolmen mentioned by Dr. Fashion who carried Connor back were in the Hunters' station, and they also confirmed Dr. Fashion's and Lan's testimony. The Imperial Capital Guard found Connor carrying a large bag on a street on the way to the palace. The commander led two teams of patrolmen to personally escort the package to the palace and hand it over to Esdeath, while two soldiers carried Connor to the station.

"He said he didn't want the general to see his weak side, so he left. He hoped that in the general's memory, he would be the eagle who could kill super dangerous species... uh, cough cough cough..." Lan added weakly.

"General, did you not receive the imperial weapon?"

Years of interrogation experience have given Esdeath the ability to detect lies.

However, she could not find any falsehood in the testimonies of several people.

The use of two imperial tools was real, the killing and capture were real, the injuries were real, the patrol officer sent him here was real, even the words he said and the final statement... were all real...

Esdeath's breath became a little disordered. Her experience told her that there must be something wrong. However, if she went through the logic from beginning to end, Connor did not seem to have the time to commit the crime. The patrolman's words also proved Connor's alibi...

It's perfect, but too perfect...

"And..." The last piece of evidence Lan brought out completely messed up Esdeath's logic, "General Connor left the mask behind."

The Imperial Tool [Super Power Jet Bakshim] and the transformed mask lay quietly on the only empty bed, which was the bed that Dr. Fashion prepared for Connor.

Esdeath slowly walked to the bed and picked up the mask. She still remembered that when she activated the mask, Kitty said something like the big boy, "I have no limits"...

Did an assassin target Xiaoying, who was suffering from organ failure, and then kill the members of the Imperial Capital Guard, and then disguise himself as Xiaoying to assassinate the minister? Esdeath thought of an imperial weapon, which happened to have the ability to disguise itself as someone else.

As Esdeath's aura changed, the camp immediately became much more relaxed. Lan, who had received a huge reward, lay down again and closed his eyes.

It was so exciting... He had deliberately omitted the imperial tool [Dimensional Conversion] that could teleport and travel through space from his report.

Consider it your reward for helping me get revenge... Connor... I will strive to make this empire a better place.

Lan's breathing gradually became steady.

"I will issue my orders to capture Connor alive. A reward of ten thousand gold will be offered to anyone who surrenders him. Anyone who harbors him will be charged with treason."

Lan: Hmm???

Connor, who had already arrived at the forest outside the imperial capital and reunited with a certain airplane head boss, sneezed.

"You have a cold? You should exercise more!"

Brand lifted his invisibility, and his armor and cloak were stained with blood.

"Now can I explain why I helped you kill that group of Imperial Capital Guards?"

The garrison captain and two garrison members in the testimony all died at Brand's hands. This was a conditional gift he had promised Connor.

"They deserve to be killed."

These officers and soldiers of the Imperial Capital Guard were the officers and colleagues of those soldiers who had taken lives and made fortunes when Connor and Lan met.

"Where's what I want?" Connor asked.

"What men value most is promises, but since it's a matter of great importance, we can only do it outside the headquarters. Do you dare to follow me?" Brand pointed to the other side of the canyon, where a few small figures could be seen.

"What are you afraid of? Lead the way." Connor walked over there. In his hand was a recognized imperial weapon [Dimensional Conversion], and on his waist was a scimitar imperial weapon [Moonlight Dance Wind Blade Sword] that once belonged to a pirate.

He took these out when he was running away.

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the man who assassinated Minister Ernest! Don't worry, I will definitely not let you get hurt!" Brand laughed heartily.

They were more of a revolutionary army than assassins. Accepting an assassin who had killed the primary target of the revolutionary army was absolutely zzzq.

The two crossed the canyon, and waiting for them was the entire [Night Raid] team that the scum nobles feared.

"Brand! And this one!"

Myne, Xier and Leone, who had seen Connor before, cried out, why would this lackey of the empire appear here?

As the introducer, Brand told everyone everything that happened, from the beginning when he sold melons to save his sister, to the later when Leone was surrounded, and finally told everyone what Connor had done.

"Welcome, friend of the Revolutionary Army." [Night Raid] Boss Nadezhda extended her hand. She gave due respect to this tough guy who had completed a task that the Revolutionary Army had failed to complete in more than a decade, before they fell out.

"Nadetta, I've heard so much about you."

Connor just shook it lightly. He was not interested in people without imperial tools... Wait, who is the person with two horns on his head?

Biological imperial weapon [Lightning bolt: Susanoo]? ? ?

Why did this powerful weapon appear in the Night Raid Headquarters? Wasn't it because of the reduction in personnel that Nadezhda applied for it from the Revolutionary Army?

Just as Nadezhda was about to pull her hand away, Connor held it back. As the holder of a biological imperial weapon, Nadezhda must have something that can control Susanoo, right?

Unfortunately, even though Connor held Susanoo and Lubbock glared at him, he was unable to read the information of the imperial weapon from Nadezhda.

It seems that I can only touch Susanoo.

"Hello, you look very handsome." Connor held Susanoo's hand, and his other hand was still patting Susanoo's body.

Susanoo: ...same problem as Brand? ? ?

After getting the prompt that the entry was successful, Connor pulled up the shocked Lubbock again.

"That's cute. If you like something or someone, you should be brave enough to say it out loud. For example..."

"You'd better not say it out loud!" Labok glanced in Nadezhda's direction nervously.

"For example, she likes to wear a maid costume."

Lubbock: Fortunately, I like the boss's things... Wait! I was discovered wearing women's clothing in the city base? ? ?

The Imperial weapon [Thousand Changes and Cross Tail] was successfully entered.

Connor walked past several girls who had already entered their Teigu and came to two people he had never seen before.

"You are Akame, right? Kurome is living a happy life in the imperial capital, and there is another guy who..." Connor pointed at Tatsumi and said, "A guy who looks similar to him likes him."

Red Eye: ...

"Also, this is..."

"Chelsea." The orange-haired girl took the initiative to give her name and shook hands with Connor.

The imperial weapons [One-shot kill·Murasame] and [Free transformation·Gaia foundation] have been entered.

The fruitful handshake meeting was over, and Connor felt it was time to move on to the next item.

"I heard that the imperial weapon that beheaded Zanke is also in your hands?"

After receiving a positive answer, Connor took off the scimitar from his waist.

"I don't think any of you can use that imperial weapon, so why don't we make an exchange? That guy isn't even an imperial weapon user."

Tatsumi: I'm not an imperial weapon user, so I'm sorry that it's not compatible with [Five Visions All Power]... But... that curved sword called Wind Blade Sword... is really cool!

The combat-type imperial weapon [Moonlight Dance·Wind Blade Sword] has a much lower threshold for use than the [Five Visions Universal Observer] that beheaded Zanke.

Exchanging imperial equipment for imperial equipment was the main part of the condition Connor proposed to Brand.

Ye Xiu's attitude is to wait and see what imperial weapon Connor takes out, and then make plans based on how Connor is compatible with the imperial weapon in his hand.

Both sides took out their unused imperial weapons. Connor held one end of the Wind Blade Sword, while Tatsumi gently touched the cold scabbard under the cover of Akame.

hum!

The imperial weapon and its user have triggered a resonance! This means that Tatsumi can fully adapt to this imperial weapon!

As for the [Five Visions Universal] that Brand was holding, Connor only confirmed that it was a genuine product. The specific identification of its compatibility still needed to be worn on the head. But Connor was not going to wear it. People who were incompatible with the [Five Visions Universal] would fall into a semi-comatose state, which was obviously not suitable for the current situation. He just wanted to enter the information of the imperial weapon into the prism.

When the choice comes to [Night Raid], should we add an imperial weapon user immediately, or wait for the Revolutionary Army to find a candidate who meets the requirements of [Five Visions Universal Power]?

Nadezhda thought, the capital is in a turbulent time. The bombing case has not been fully investigated yet, and the man in front of him has defected from the empire and killed Minister Ernest. The situation in the capital will definitely become more chaotic.

Rather than guarding an unusable auxiliary imperial weapon and betting that the Revolutionary Army would find a suitable candidate in a short period of time, it would be better to use it for exchange and get back an imperial weapon user with first-line combat capability.

Tatsumi still has a lot of room for growth. In the increasingly chaotic imperial capital, having an imperial weapon can still help Tatsumi realize his talent.

Nadezhda finally convinced herself and exchanged the imperial tools with Connor.
