Shen Yuan thought that if he were a love saint, he probably wouldn't need to use shadow magic at all to deal with Esdeath.

But compared to him, Esdeath is more inexperienced, and her foundation in love is almost "zero"!

The only possible date scenario is to go to a dangerous species' lair and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the monster, having a thrilling battle.

This is all due to Esdeath's father, who instilled in her the idea that "the strong are respected" since she was a child.

Because Esdeath was born in the northern border area, the daughter of the chief of the Baruts tribe, a race that specialized in hunting dangerous species, the idea of the survival of the fittest was deeply ingrained in her since childhood.

But Esdeath's past is also quite tragic.

After returning from a solo hunting trip, she discovered that her entire tribe had been wiped out by a northern alien tribe. From then on, she embarked on the path of revenge and became more convinced that the only way to survive was to become strong.

This is also the reason why Esdeath coldly killed 400,000 people of the northern ethnic group, because of the hatred for genocide.

Shen Yuan could understand what Esdeath did. It would be difficult for anyone to let go of the hatred for genocide.

But she has already taken revenge, so why should she remain loyal to the emperor?

Although loyalty to the empire is a good stance, blind loyalty will only exacerbate the demise of the empire.

An empire can exist without an emperor, ministers and generals, but it cannot exist without common people.

Such a simple truth might be difficult to understand for Esdeath, who has been deeply ingrained with the idea of the survival of the fittest since childhood.

same.

For the ninja who threw themselves into the arms of the shadows and took a different path.

They follow the precepts of the mystery of shadow and are not moved by the rules of the secular world.

No cruel means or temptations can shake the cold thoughts in their hearts.

This was the thought in the heart of the true master of Shadow Stream—Zed! Shen Yuan, the embodiment of hero.

".' Are you here?!"

Shen Yuan watched as the shadow of a crow flew over and dropped a piece of letter into his hand.

It was sent by Najeshita, the leader of the "Night Raid", probably asking her to be more careful with Esdeath. In addition, the Revolutionary Army discovered signs of activity of a wild and extremely dangerous species near the island west of the empire.

But just as Shen Yuan was about to reply, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Then, a pair of icy white arms came from behind and hugged his neck. Looking at the object in Shen Yuan's palm, Esdeath's voice rang out: "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"

"I came out to get some fresh air and picked this for you."

Shen Yuan put the note into the system space, then took out a blue and white flower from his palm like a magic trick and handed it to Esdeath behind him.

"Hmm, so that's how it is..."

Seeing the words in Shen Yuan's hand, Esdeath seemed to be relieved, and her slightly cold arm (Qian Dezhao) was withdrawn from Shen Yuan's neck, giving people the illusion that her neck would be broken if she said the wrong thing.

Of course, that's just speculation.

As if she didn't notice anything unusual, or maybe Esdeath pretended to understand nothing and enjoyed the time alone with her under the moonlight.

"Why do you seem to be worried about something?"

Shen Yuan tilted his head and asked curiously, muttering to himself: Is there no basic trust between people?

Even if you come out for a breath of fresh air, you will be monitored.

"I can't help it. I also want to spend more time with my lover."

Esdeath chuckled and slowly moved closer to Shen Yuan, sticking even closer to him, as if to draw more warmth from her "lover".

It would be bad if this continued, Shen Yuan sighed. The two enemies, who were clearly on opposite sides, became a pair of happy "lovers" under the reflection of the bright full moon.

It is indeed a bit ironic.

As for what the future will be like, Shen Yuan is not sure about it.

"Esdeath, do you want to go on a date tomorrow?"

"A, a date!?"

Esdeath seemed a little flattered, and her heart began to beat wildly.

"Okay!" Esdeath felt the throbbing in her heart, then smiled, all frost gone. "Where are we going tomorrow? Imperial City Street?"

"If we just wander around and shop, it'd be too boring. Why don't you come with me to the islands west of the empire? There are waves and beaches there, and I heard there's a very powerful and dangerous species there. Let's go on a romantic hunt under the sunset!"

"I don't dislike this kind of date either."

"OK."

Shen Yuan's dark pupils and Esdeath's beautiful ice-blue eyes looked straight into each other's eyes, reflecting each other's figures. Both of them quietly enjoyed this brief "lovers" moment.

Chapter 47: Yandere Black Eyes! Showdown with Esdeath!

After joining the Hunters, you successfully became Esdeath's "lover," but after a sleepless night, you couldn't find the opportunity to strike, so you had to wait.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Shen Yuan walked out of Esdeath's palace. In a good mood, he stretched and looked at the things outside.

"Ugh......"

Although he was in a good mood, Shen Yuan sighed.

He didn't succeed.

Because Esdeath didn't sleep all night...

It is indeed a dangerous humanoid species that can rival ferocious beasts. It seems that I can only look for another opportunity.

"Yo~ Looks like you didn't sleep very well last night, Ying."

An upright figure walked nearby. Shen Yuan looked over and found that Will was greeting him.

"Yeah." Shen Yuan nodded without denying it. "Is breakfast ready?"

"Yes, everyone is waiting for you and General Esdeath!"

As Will was speaking, Shen Yuan followed him out into the courtyard and saw the other members of the Hunters busy preparing breakfast.

"Hei Tong, give me some of your cookies~" Will shamelessly ran to the little girl in the team and stared at her bag full of cookies.

"No, I hate you--" Hei Tong said mercilessly, rejecting anyone's thoughts.

“It looks delicious, crispy and tasty.”

Shen Yuan looked at the biscuits and didn't care about Hei Tong's temper.

"Even if you say so, I won't give it to you!" Hei Tong looked at Shen Yuan warily as if she was protecting a dessert. This reminded him of Chi Tong's behavior when she was protecting food. They were exactly the same. They were indeed sisters.

But he prefers red eyes to black eyes.

Of course it’s not because Chitong has long straight black hair and a good figure, but because although Chitong likes to eat meat, she will share it with her companions. She is not as selfish as Heitong. Who doesn’t like a sister with such good qualities?

But considering the relationship between the two sisters Akahime and Kurogane, according to Akahime, she and her sister were sold to the Empire's assassination training school. The two received different training and saw different darkness, so the personalities they shaped may be different.

Shen Yuan is quite familiar with the Empire's assassination training school. The first thing you do when you enter is to kill someone to test your courage. If you don't do it, you may be killed by the target.

But even with Hei Tong's condition, there was no cure.

She is quite caring towards her companions and is ruthless towards the enemy, but is considerate towards her comrades and values those around her.

Such a guy is not lacking in kindness in his heart.

It's just that you need to change her distorted cognition and foolish loyalty before you can use it to your advantage and persuade her.

For Chitong's sake, Shen Yuan felt that he needed to provide in-depth guidance to Heitong.

"Hei Tong, you look a lot like the Chi Tong on the wanted poster!"

Shen Yuan suddenly spoke, deciding to attract Hei Tong's attention first.

"Really? I think so too!"

Will echoed from the side, not realizing the hidden meaning in Shen Yuan's words, he simply felt that they were similar.

"Yes, my sister was an excellent student of the Empire, but she betrayed the Empire... Hehe... I really want to meet her sooner, after meeting her..."

Hei Tong let out a creepy low laugh, his expression slightly twisted, like a yandere. "I will sentence my beloved sister to death. After all - abandoning your sister to join the enemy is absolutely unforgivable!"

It's over, this guy has completely turned evil.

Shen Yuan shook his head, wondering if Draktharr's Duskblade's shadow magic could change Hei Tong's cognition. After all, his temperament was twisted to this extent, and he was already in the late stage of yandere.

Before going completely crazy, Seleucus changed his inner thoughts about justice.

Although Esdeath hasn't tried it yet, her stance towards the Empire may not be as firm as imagined, at least not as crazy.

But Hei Tong's obsession with Chi Tong is not just as simple as betrayal.

However, in order to fully understand Hei Tong, Shen Yuan felt that he needed to look at her file after she joined the Imperial Assassination Department.

"Black pupils...so scary!"

Will felt a chill and never dared to mess with this little girl again.

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff and cold.

"By the way, Mr. Ying." Someone approached. It was the gentle, hooded man. "Lady Esdeath, why isn't she up yet? Didn't you say yesterday that you were going on a date to the island west of the empire?"

"Uh..." Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Could it be that your captain fell down because he exerted too much force yesterday?

But this cannot be said.

"Esdeath is getting herself ready, so she might not be out for a while. As for breakfast, just leave some for her."

"Okay!" Borus patted Shen Yuan's shoulder meaningfully, then walked away.

......

Gradually, it was noon.

Esdeath finally opened her eyes from lying on her side. She sat up and was slightly stunned to see that there was one person missing beside her.

"Esdeath." Shen Yuan appeared outside the door, carrying a meal. "Come and eat something. We have to go hunting dangerous species this afternoon."

"Well......"

Esdeath looked flattered as Shen Yuan came over with the food, then said, "Why are you up so early~"

"Maybe I have plenty of energy."

After Shen Yuan presented a portion of food, he whispered, "Esdeath, can you do me a favor? I'd like to see the files of the Imperial Assassination Department, about Hei Tong..."

"What do you want her file for? It's an imperial secret and requires the permission of the Emperor and the ministers."

However, when Esdeath said this, she rubbed her chin, thought for a moment, and pointed to a pile of information on the table beside her. "But when I gathered these people, I already got the information. If you want to see it, you can take a look."

"Hmm..." Shen Yuan walked forward, picked up the information and began to look through it. He said, "Only by understanding my teammates can I understand their personalities and preferences. I want Hei Tong to trust his teammates more, so I did this."

"You're so gentle, Ying... I really like you more and more!"

Esdeath's beautiful ice-blue eyes stared at the other person's back.

Shen Yuan also got the information he wanted.

When they were young, Hei Tong and her sister Ak Tong were wandering the streets together. They were sold by the Imperial Agency and trained as birds to pick the seeds of rebellion, and became assassins of the Empire.

However, Hei Tong deeply loves her sister, and together they passed the brutal Elite 7 selection, but because the Elite 7 cannot have blood relatives, she was pulled away from Akame. After joining the Imperial Assassination Corps, she was forced to inject drugs, and then developed a serious dependence.

Later, sister Akame wanted to bring Heitou to join the revolutionary army, but was rejected by Heitou, who then had the idea of executing her sister.

Although the sisters value and care for each other, they both want to end the other's life with their own hands.

Hei Tong hopes to defeat her sister and turn her into a member of the Eighth House (zombie) so that she will no longer abandon her.

"Injection of drugs..."

Perhaps this is the key to freeing Hei Tong from the Empire's dependence, if there is an antidote.

Secondly, in addition to Hei Tong, Shen Yuan also looked at the information of other "hunters". Almost all of them were good people with a sense of justice. They could easily be persuaded by himself about the "night attack".

Ultimately, we still have to capture Esdeath.

As long as she nodded, the entire "Hunter" army would recognize the darkness of the empire. In fact, they also knew it in their hearts, but they deliberately pretended not to see it and wanted to change it in their own way.
