Infinite crossing from violet

Chapter 214 The Eve of the Battle
at the same time.

Inside a bungalow on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

The wide corridors and flower beds were covered with blood.

Suddenly, harsh footsteps came from not far away.

A tall bearded man was holding a little girl about six years old in his hand.

The little girl was wearing cute pink pajamas, but the expression on her face was completely dull.

The snot and tears were smeared together, like a frightened lamb.

"I caught this little thing back, but I didn't expect it to slip away when I wasn't paying attention."

But the bearded man didn't care too much.

What Thorn likes to do is his business and has nothing to do with him.

Seeing the little girl in his hand who was already frightened into a daze, a trace of pity suddenly flashed in the bearded man's eyes.

He lightly patted the back of the little girl's neck, and the girl slowly came to her senses, as if waking up from a dream.

The moment she saw the bearded man, the little girl seemed to remember something, and then her whole body trembled, her face was as pale as a dead person.

She was still young when she heard a sickening gasp not far away.

She seemed to have realized that she could not escape, and an emotion called despair filled her young heart.

She turned her head slightly, wanting to see the scene on the other side.

But the wide body blocked her view, it was the bearded man.

With a warm smile on his face, he pressed the girl's shoulder: "Your parents are already asleep, you don't want to fall asleep like them, don't you? Then hurry up, the end of the corridor is the stairs, You know, after all, this is your home, isn't it?"

After speaking, he lightly opened the girl's shoulder.

The girl understood what the bearded man meant.

He is going to let himself go.

With her head, she couldn't figure out why the bearded man would do this.

But after the restraints were removed, under the influence of fear and desire to survive, she turned around and ran away.

He ran desperately, didn't look back, and didn't dare to look back.

The stairs are just ahead.

She knew that as long as she got there, she would be able to leave the flower room. There was a very hidden window there, and she would sometimes slip out of it to play quietly, and no one knew about that place.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

Seeing that the stairs were getting closer and closer, the girl's heart beat faster and faster.

Tears welled up in my eyes, it was the joy of escaping death.

But the young figure stopped abruptly.

The girl only felt that she was getting farther and farther away from the guardrail of the stairs, and the scenery on both sides of the corridor was advancing rapidly.

Then, there was a little warmth in his chest.

She lowered her head in a daze, and at some point there was a sword blade on her chest, and blood was flowing down the blade.

"Eh?"

She blinked, not understanding what was going on.

In the next second, the blade was pulled out of her body abruptly, taking away the girl's life as well.

She did not die immediately, but fell on her back, not understanding what had happened.

I was obviously about to escape, why did I become like this?

Blood was gushing from her mouth and nose, and tears kept overflowing. She wanted to shout, but her throat was full of blood bubbles.

She wanted to get up, but her body twitched with severe pain, completely out of control.The most she could do was twist her neck like a dying fawn.

Although she already understood the fact that she was about to die, she still stubbornly turned her head.

She still wanted to see her parents.

But a dark shadow enveloped her, and it was still the bearded man.

He looked down at the girl, grinning almost to the ear.

A slight sound rang in the ears.

The girl rolled her eyes slightly, and saw a thin iron chain hanging from the bearded man's hand, with a barbed hook at the end.

She knew she had been lied to.

From the very beginning, the man in front of him never thought of letting her go.

The bearded man had put the hook on her collar before, as long as he pulled it back, she would fly back backwards.

With the size and strength of the bearded man, pulling a little girl is as easy as breathing.

His eyes gradually lost their luster, and blood spread on the floor.

At this time, Thorn also stood up from the ground.

"It's good to work under the minister. I like the advantage of being able to do whatever I want with the target."

"Speaking of which, what happened to this family?" Zhu Tian asked.

"It seems that an official used the relief money privately and distributed it to people in the slums?" Thorn tilted his head, "In short, this guy used the money that should have belonged to the minister. You also know the minister's temper and touched his cake. People have to die."

"It's really pitiful, but I'm already dead, so I don't have to suffer in this world."

"But what's going on in the imperial capital?"

Zhu Tian looked towards the direction of the imperial capital through the long window in the corridor, where the flames were soaring into the sky, and the smoke and dust filled the air.

Of course, the previous explosion caught their attention, but it had nothing to do with them, they were here to carry out the mission.

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

Suddenly, a woman with a horizontal scar on her face hung down from the window outside.

"What are you doing, it's you, Suzuka." Thorn withdrew the thorn in his hand, "I almost attacked you, but I really like the advantage of being elusive."

Suzuka hallucinated for a while, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"You guys had a lot of fun, why don't we have fun that day?"

"No," Thorn said, spreading his hands, "I'm not interested."

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Tian asked.

"Go back and meet Matou, the minister has issued a new mission." Suzuka said.

"Oh, who are you going to kill this time?" Thorn became interested.

"Night raid."

……

The next day, the two explosions that happened last night made the headlines of the imperial capital's newspapers without any surprise.

People are talking about it, and all kinds of news are flying all over the sky.

Lu Ye was sitting in the office, dealing with the affairs of last night.

As the captain of the Imperial Capital Guard, his duty is naturally to maintain the law and order of the Imperial Capital.

Now that this kind of mess has happened, if it were someone else, I'm afraid that he would have been in a state of anxiety.

But he doesn't.

Because he planned the explosion last night.

The plan was a success.

Let Brad step on the spot in advance and plan the assassination route, so that the assassination efficiency will be much higher.

From execution to retreat, it took less than 10 minutes.

And because of the horse's head, Lu Ye had a perfect alibi.

In short, this attack has alerted the entire empire.

And the minister's next actions did not disappoint him.

Last night, Lu Ye was summoned from the palace.

The minister ordered the "Four Raksha Ghosts" to wipe out the night attack team, led by Ma Tou, and among them was Lu Ye who had just joined.

At this moment, the door of the office was knocked.

"Please come in." Lu Ye said.

The one who pushed the door and entered was not the member of the guard who came to report to work, but the horse head.

Although there are still some burn marks on the body, they are already very light, but the bridge of the nose is covered with a bandage, which is not very elegant.

"Come with me, ready to move."

Ma Tou's voice was cold, and although Lu Ye's appearance fit her aesthetics, the bridge of her nose still hurts.

If it weren't for the task she had now, she really wanted to break Lu Ye's limbs and keep him as a pet.

"It's possible to deal with night raids, but what should I do?" Lu Ye looked at a loss.

"Do you remember that I came here to check the security records of the capital city last night?"

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"

"I found that the people killed by the night raid team seem to have done bad things..."

Horsehead is confident and seems to have absolute confidence in how to catch the night attack.

"Wait, are you going to let that killer organization go because of this?" Lu Ye looked in disbelief, "Don't you know what they did last night?"

"Shut up and listen to me," said the horse's head. "Bears like honey, and tigers like meat. A good hunter must know what his prey likes to eat and prepare for it."

"What do you mean, you still didn't say how to search for those killers."

"Since the night raid team showed up until now, the people they have killed are all villains. Heh, it really looks like what the revolutionary army would do." Matou smiled, "As long as you know their purpose, That's easy, starting today, we don't search, we kill people!"

This is the way of the horse head. ,

This was the inspiration she overheard Lu Ye's exclamation after she arrived at the explosion site last night.

"Why did you attack this group of guys at night to kill these people? What did they do wrong?"

What seemed to be a sentence of exclamation inspired Matou.

She realized that the assassin organization Night Attack seemed to be assassinating officials in the imperial capital and causing chaos.

But could they be killing for another purpose?

With this in mind, she investigated the people killed in the previous night raid.

And the result satisfied her.

These people are villains without exception, including those who died in the bombing incident last night.

This is "bait". If you want to lure the night raider to show up, you only need to give enough bait.

Since night raids only kill villains, you only need to be a villain.

Although she and the other three are not good things in themselves, this time is different. They need to come out of the shadows and appear in the sight of the night attack.

After hearing Matou's plan, Lu Ye exclaimed that it was amazing.

Although these two words of flattery were completely irreparable to what happened last night, they still made her very happy.

And she has already decided that as long as there is a chance, she will make Lu Ye a pet.

Lu Yexin said Oye, the second step was also successful.

In fact, the sentence that looked like a sigh last night was deliberately said to Matou.

If the horse head is smart enough, it should be able to detect the purpose of the night attack team.

It doesn't matter if it's a mint, the big deal is that Lu Ye took the initiative to propose this idea, and the final result is the same.

only……

"I have a way to catch the night attack" is better for one of the Raksha Four Ghosts than for him.

Because they have stayed with Ernest the longest, no matter what, they are more trusted by Ernest than Lu Ye.

It's just that Lu Ye was a little curious that no one had noticed the way of action of the Night Raid organization before, but it's no wonder that many things are hidden under the undercurrent, except for the undercurrent itself and those involved in the undercurrent. Someone can search for the essence.Everyone thought that these people were scourges sent by the rebels, who came to the imperial capital to kill officials and rich merchants and create havoc.

Night falls.

The action begins.

The Raksha four ghosts, including Lu Ye, gathered in the alley opposite an orphanage.

This was the first time Lu Ye saw the other two.

Zhu Tian was a burly man with a beard all over his face. The ax in his hand was connected by a fine iron chain, and there was a barb at the end.

The remaining woman was Suzuka, she was in good shape, but a horizontal scar on her face was unbearable. That scar reminded Lu Ye of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, and it was like a deep gully opened on her face.

As for Thorn, since this guy was taught by Esdeth, his wound seems to be recovering well.

The severed arm was replaced with a metal prosthesis, and the wound on the left leg was healed in less than a day.

Lu Ye guessed that it might be the green potion that Matou used last night, and that potion even healed the severe burns.

Sensing Lu Ye's gaze, Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

He still harbors a grudge about what happened that day.

Although Lu Ye didn't do it, Esdes' unfair treatment made him extremely unbalanced.

But he couldn't beat Estes, so he could only vent his anger on Lu Ye.

Everyone didn't say much, and put on their masks silently.

To attract the attention of the night raiders, you have to kill people, and kill good people, and it is best to cause people to be filled with righteous indignation.

And their target tonight is an orphanage on Anning Road in the imperial capital.

This was Lu Ye's idea.

Killing all the children inside and hanging their heads on the cross ropes in the street will surely arouse the idea of ​​those killers.

The horse head accepted this reason.

Although she doesn't like to kill like Ji and Zhu Tian, ​​​​the task must be carried out.

These orphans are the means to accomplish the task.

Zhu Tian appreciated Lu Ye's idea very much.

"I know what you mean... you are a good man to free their souls from the sufferings of the world."
