Is this okay?

Did I make a mistake?

Having always considered oneself a strong person, shouldn't one be even happier to encounter someone stronger than oneself?

Isn't this something I've always wanted to do?

But why is it that when you actually encounter it, you feel so humiliated, resentful... and even as vulnerable as an ordinary person?

"If you're so strong, why are you helping me? If it were me, I would have dropped all my burdens and just turned around and left. If I died, it would be because I was too weak."

Esdeath wavered slightly under the barrage of blows, gazing at Leng Mo's sharp, chiseled, and muscular face.

"This was all an accident. To be honest, we came here to teach you a lesson."

"Ok?"

"As you know, that's how what happened before occurred, perhaps because of your last words."

"More than that..."

"I really don't know, but at least I know you're a pure person, just someone who pursues power. Although someone like you would be sentenced to death by me, you're considered average here."

"So what was your purpose in saving me?"

"interest."

"Ok?"

"Everything I do is out of interest, whether it's saving people, killing people, harming people, or cheating people. As for other people's feelings, that's not something I need to care about. All I care about is whether I did it or not."

"..."

Esdeath understood, she understood from Leng Mo's expression.

Although I understand, I can't accept it for some reason. Even though Leng Mo did exactly the same thing as me, I still can't accept it.

Perhaps it's because I feel weak at this moment.

She finished the flatbread in a few bites, casually wiped her lips, looked up at Leng Mo, and said seriously:

"I'm done eating, let's go."

With Esdeath on his back, Leng Mo nodded to Kaneki and the others beside him, and then everyone rushed towards the capital at top speed.

This trip covers more than 108,000 miles, but only takes a few days.

The strongest creature on earth traveling at full speed is no joke; even crossing mountains and valleys cannot stop it.

……

About two days later, they launched a night raid on the headquarters.

Chelsea finally arrived at Night Raid headquarters and joined Night Raid as a rookie assassin, while also being tasked with monitoring Night Raid.

The night raids have become subtly strange these past two days. They used to accept all sorts of missions, but these past two days they've suddenly stopped accepting dangerous missions or missions with insufficient intelligence, which is very frustrating.

The revolutionaries all wondered if Night Raid had betrayed them, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

But it doesn't matter!

As for the espionage arrangement, Chelsea arrived.

The girl who possesses Gaia Foundation and can transform into anyone.

In the morning, Nadeshitan began the meeting.

Because she received news that Esdeath was dead, killed by the minister's son, Sylar.

Now, with the support of the ministers, Sheila is preparing to take over Esdeath's position, but she learns from Sheila that Esdeath was rescued by Leng Mo and the others and is on her way back, which will probably take a long time.

However, this news will definitely not be leaked.

The Revolutionary Army definitely needs to investigate this matter, and the task has been assigned.

So I have no choice but to accept this mission. I've rejected too many missions before, and now even the Revolutionary Army feels that Night Raid is not right. If I don't accept it, I'll be seen as a traitor.

"This mission is very important and requires investigation. For safety reasons, we will all set off. Don't forget your responsibilities, and if there is any danger, run for your lives!"

"understand!"

Everyone present nodded solemnly, perfectly embodying the meaning of being timid.

"Wait!? Why should we run away at all costs when we encounter danger? Are we outmatched? This doesn't make sense, there are so many Imperial Arms users among us..."

Chelsea, being a newcomer, had no idea how terrifying this was, and looked at Najendan with a strange expression.

Nadeshitan's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly as she said with a serious expression:

"This is an order! I understand you're new, but this is an order! Some things are more terrifying than death. None of us can be harmed! Absolutely! Absolutely! We absolutely cannot let that devil seize the opportunity!"

"Devil? What does that mean?"

Chelsea stared at Najendan in disbelief, completely bewildered by the situation.

“Newcomer, I understand you, but we can’t tell you this. Just know that your life no longer belonged to you the moment you joined Night Raid. The Night Raid now… is being targeted by a demon darker than the Empire.”

For a moment, everyone was filled with fear.

"That doesn't make sense, does it? Are you scared? Scared of dying, right?"

Chelsea questioned, pointing out that she wasn't entirely a Night Raider; she had an investigative mission.

So she needed to find out the answer to this question.

"Yes, we were terrified. Absolutely terrified!"

As a result, Najendan readily admitted it to Chelsea, her expression filled with certainty.

"What??"

Chelsea never expected that this person who once dared to fight Esdeath would say such shameless things at this moment.

“Chelsey…I understand how you feel, but no one can be harmed during this Night Raid…That monster…will truly destroy the world! So we have to run for our lives! Protect ourselves for our lives! Survive for our lives! Until peace is achieved!”

"What are you talking about? How can there be such a thing as a devil in this world..."

"Yes... he'll be back in a few days. You can go see him yourself then."

"Really?"

Chelsea didn't know why, but seeing everyone so serious and resolute made her feel inexplicably afraid.

Anxiety, like a contagious disease, spread from person to person to Chelsea.

Cold, shivering, cold sweat.

Chapter 107 Are you guys kidding me?

Although she didn't know what had happened, the situation was no joke, and she was genuinely frightened for no reason.

Could this be... why Night Raid has been hesitant to accept missions lately?

A demon? What does that mean? What kind of being could make so many Imperial Arms so afraid...?

They didn't even dare to mention their names.

Have I fallen into some kind of demon's den?

boom! boom! boom!

Suddenly, at that moment, the entire conference room began to tremble, accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if some enormous monster was moving.

"What...what's going on?"

Chelsea felt the ground tremble, and to make sure it wasn't her imagination, she quickly looked at the table in front of her.

The water glass on the table was trembling, the water inside was shaking, and some water droplets even swayed over the edge and fell onto the table.

What's going on? Why is this happening? Is something scary approaching?

What about the others...?

Chelsea nervously looked at Najenda, Akame, Pollack, Brand, and Mine, trying to find out what was going on from them.

But their faces were expressionless, and an endless silence filled the air. At the same time, Chelsea could see a trace of guilt in their expressions.

what happened?

Why...why are you all silent? Don't you find it strange?

Am I the only one who's truly strange from the very beginning?

This...this...!

"What on earth is going on?! Why are you all just silent? Why are you just watching?! Shouldn't we be taking action in this situation? Whether it's defense or combat! Why are you just standing by and doing nothing?"

Chelsea cried out in horror at Najendan, “This is so strange! It’s been so strange since the beginning!”

Something's not right... something's not right... something's not right...

Warnings kept echoing in her mind, but no one present paid any attention to this strange situation.

It was as if something was wrong with me.

What?! What happened?!

What...what are you going to do?! I'm scared!!

The eerie state filled Chelsea with fear. Unlike her previous fear of the unknown, she now felt a sense of dread, as if she had stumbled into a demon's lair, where everyone else was being controlled and she was the only one who remained conscious.

Click...

Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open, and Hill, who was 190 centimeters tall with bulging muscles and wearing a purple cheongsam, strolled in.

He gripped the doorknob with his fist, which was as big as a clay pot, so carefully that it felt like he could crush it with the slightest pressure.

A pair of powerful eyes swept across everyone in the conference room in an instant, and his chiseled face always exuded the aura of a tough man.

What the hell is this?!

When Chelsea saw Hilton walk in, she nearly vomited blood, feeling like she was going to go blind.

His muscles were more muscular than any muscleman's, yet he wore a purple cheongsam that looked like it was about to burst.

"Sorry, Boss. I'm late."

Hill walked in apologetically, each step making a dull thud, causing the conference room to tremble.

Then Chelsea saw Hill, who was so large she didn't look human, sitting in the chair in front of the conference table, and she could even hear the chair groaning in pain.

"Excuse me... who are you?"

Chelsea, her face dark with shock, asked Hill in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Hill raised an eyebrow and cast a glance at Chelsea, instantly sending shivers down her spine from the strongest gaze emanating from the ground.

"Hmm? You're the new guy? I'm Hill, nice to meet you."

"Hiel...?"

Upon hearing the name, Chelsea immediately recalled the information she had previously read about Night Raid, which included information about Hill.

However... the information says Hill is a delicate, pretty, and cute girl, so what is this blob in front of me?

She stood there, suddenly unsure how to describe the situation. In short, was she kidding herself?

At this moment, Najendan sighed helplessly, silently lit a cigarette, and her hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

"Sigh... I understand how you feel. This is something we can't accept either. This is the result of that devil... If you still don't believe me, wait until those guys come back and see for yourself."

"..." Chelsea was speechless upon hearing this, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

"I feel fine. I'm happy to be able to use my strength to protect everyone."

Hill didn't care at all; on the contrary, he was very happy, his smile filled with a masculine happiness.

Najendan was at a loss with Hill's stubbornness and naivety, and sighed helplessly as she looked at Chelsea.

"Newcomer, do you have any questions?"

"without……"

"Let's prepare for the operation. This mission shouldn't be too dangerous, but that's precisely why everyone needs to be extra careful. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to ourselves, understand?"

Najshitan shouted loudly to everyone present with a solemn expression.

"understood!!"

Everyone present answered in unison, their voices carrying a great deal of authority.
