imperial capital.

Hunter headquarters.

The door of the ward opened and the doctor came out.

"What's going on with Black Eye?"

"It has stabilized... But the poison on her body, forgive us for being helpless." The doctor said with a regretful expression, "That is to say, her time is running out, although I don't know why the poison didn't continue to attack, but Judging by the spread, it is a matter of time before it erupts again."

"That's it, thank you." Will's voice was a little jerky.

Looking from the window above the door, the black-haired girl was leaning against the head of the bed, with a bandage around her neck, staring quietly out of the window. ,

Will took a deep breath, ready to open the door and enter.

"It's better to let her rest at this time."

Will looks back.

At some point, Lan had already appeared behind him.

"Lan, why are you here?"

"I'm here to call you," Lan said. "There was an explosion in the palace. Captain Esdeath is calling us to investigate the situation."

"……it is good."

Not long after, the two arrived at the scene.

The minister's secret room and his bedroom...the two buildings have become ruins.

Many soldiers came and went, cleaning up the rubble and bricks around them.

"So, what's the situation now?"

Lan came to Estes and asked.

"Most of the Teigu have been found." Estes put his hands in his arms, "but there is no news of the minister himself."

"Did the night raid do it?"

"Needless to say," Esdeth said indifferently, "I didn't expect them to take action so quickly."

"So...their target was the minister," Will said, "and they succeeded again this time."

"I don't think so." Estes said, "The minister's body hasn't been found yet, but let's not mention this matter. I'm looking for you this time because I want you to do something."

"Just say it."

"The sentinels on the front line seem to have noticed that the recent movements of the foreign races are a bit strange, so I want you to investigate." Estes said, "Find out what they are doing."

"As soon as something happened to the minister, did those guys start to move?" Will frowned.

"That's right, the minister probably didn't expect that the night raider would come to assassinate him even though he was seriously injured." Estes said, "Once something happens to him, the alien race and the revolutionary army will definitely take action."

"Okay, we understand." Lan said, "We will bring back the news in three days at the latest."

After speaking, Lan and Will left.

Estes stayed at the scene, watching the crowd coming and going, silent.

After a short while, she returned to the meeting room of the hunter headquarters.

She always felt that there was something strange behind it.

After digging all night, almost turning over the entire palace, the minister was not found, which shows that he should not be dead.

But why didn't he show up?
If he wanted to use this to lure the revolutionary army and foreign nationalities to attack the imperial capital and want to wipe them all out, then he would not refuse to talk about this kind of thing with himself. , Looking at the entire imperial capital, no one can compare with him.

Minister, why are you doing this?
While thinking, suddenly, her eyes caught a newspaper in the corner.

I remember that a while ago, Lan read these newspapers whenever she was free.

Picking up the newspaper and glanced at it, Esdeth found that many things related to vicious cases had been marked in the newspaper.

And almost all sentences are inseparable from one word-"wild hound".

She has a little impression of the name.

It seems that Lan's student was killed by someone in this gang.

That's why he took so much trouble to find the murderer, right?

The names of some marked people were vaguely on the newspaper.

Dotya...

Cosmia...

champ...

And the name of one of them caught her attention.

—Sheila.

Recalling what the minister said to him before attacking the night raid headquarters, Esdeth was suddenly startled.

Could it be that... the minister knew Lu Ye's true identity a long time ago? !
The passage before leaving was to ridicule her for trusting the people around her too much.

When I was leading Lu Ye to meet the minister, there was a conversation in the room. Judging from the incomplete content of the conversation, it was Sheila and the minister. When the two entered, Sheila had disappeared. At that time, Estes also guessed that he had some special way of moving, but now it seems that Sheila is probably the guy who attacked himself and Lu Ye and sent them to the isolated island.

The reason why he did this will not be mentioned for the time being.

But what Estes knows is that the relationship between Sheila and the minister has not been very good.

Why did Sheila go to see the minister as soon as she returned to the imperial capital?

what did they talk about
Looking down the notes, there is another person's name at the end.

That is "Yicang", and the word "death" is marked after the name.

Estes remembered that when cleaning the scene of Anning Road, he did find an unidentified body dead on the spiral staircase, and there were signs of fighting at the four exits.

Lu Ye now knows the identity of the traitor.

This proves that he was the one who rescued the members of the night raid on Anning Road.

If Lu Ye had already had contact with Sheila when it just happened, that is, before the members of the night raid got into trouble, then it would make sense. ,

But why not throw this message?
Estes was puzzled.

Even if I never doubted Lu Ye at that time, the minister would find a way to do something when he sensed the existence of a traitor.

But the weird thing is that he didn't.

Not only that, but also abandoned power, money and beauty, and hid alone.

Minister, what are you hiding...?
……

the other side.

In the forest ten kilometers north of the imperial capital.

Her fingers touched the blood on the ground, and Sheila looked at the black blood stains on her hands and smiled with satisfaction.

"Both are hurt...it's amazing! Night raids and hunters are just stepping stones for me!!"

Seeing that her plan was very successful, Sheila couldn't help laughing.

Long before Estes launched an attack here, Sheila had already marked the vicinity, and as long as there was a mark, she could instantly move herself to the place where the mark existed.

In fact, the reason why Dr. Fashion was able to find a way to break the Lubbock barrier so quickly was because of the participation of Dotya, a seasoned alchemist.

Sheila had expected such a day, so she made preparations in advance.

After all, Dr. Fashion is cooperating with him, and he understands everything that Dr knows.

Esdeath wanted to attack the night attack, and Sheila agreed with it.

After all, the strength of both Night Raider and Hunter is very good. Once they fight, if both sides are seriously injured, it will bring a lot of convenience to the follow-up actions.

At this time, Yan Xin appeared behind Sheila.

"Sheila..."

"what happened?"

"Something happened in the palace..."

After informing Sheila of the explosion in the palace, his expression became serious.

"Really?"

"It is true that the site of the explosion was the chancellor's palace and a cellar."

"Where's my father?"

"There is no news about him yet, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Sheila slowly covered her face.

Even if he is a scum, will he still be attached to his relatives... Seeing this, Yan Xin couldn't help thinking.

However, snickering came out from between the fingers covering his face.

"Hee hee hee...hahahaha!!" Sheila laughed loudly, "I never thought my father would end up like this!"

"The situation hasn't been settled yet. If you want to see people live or die, you need to see corpses," Yan Xin reminded, "Don't get carried away too much. Do you want to use Teigu to see for yourself?"

"Forget it, Estes is in the palace... I don't want to be hacked to death by her." Sheila restrained her smile, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I just took it as a joke of the day, And regardless of whether my father is dead or alive, he has no influence on the following situation, and the only one who can become the winner is me, Sheila!"

"I'm leaving first... There are still a few days, and the show is about to begin." As he said, the Tai Chi pattern appeared at Sheila's feet, "It's impossible to not make sufficient preparations before that, the imperial capital will continue Please watch it, and make sure that the uprising on the east side of Anning Road succeeds."

"Okay, I'll kill anyone who gets in the way."

in the afternoon.

Estes changed into casual clothes.

She walked on the street, passing the square, and her ears were filled with the wailing and screaming of the punished.

The surrounding people stood against those who rebelled against the imperial capital, their faces were expressionless and ashen.

Estes turned a blind eye to this, she pulled down the brim of her hat, walked through the crowded flow of people, and walked in the direction of Anning Road.

Before coming to the cathedral, Esdeth entered it and directly expressed his request to the priest to see the leader.

After thinking for a whole afternoon, she finally decided to find the person involved, who is the current leader of Anning Dao, to find out for herself what happened at that time.

After calming down, she slowly sorted out her thoughts.

First of all, Lu Ye is by no means a pure revolutionary army, or a killer.

Otherwise, during the time the two of them were alone, he would have had hundreds of chances to kill his defenseless self.

You know, the value of killing Esdes is even greater than the value of killing the minister Ornest, because at most the minister is manipulating the emperor, but Esdes can conquer a country!
In other words, once Esdes is dead, the revolutionary army will definitely make the imperial capital suffer a big fall under the condition of uniting with other nationalities. Even if the country cannot be taken down for a while, its rule will be shaken. How to control the little emperor is useless.

But Lu Ye didn't do that.

——Then what is his purpose?
Why is On Ning Road a target of night raids?

Why did Sheila appear on Anning Road again?
"Okay, please go here."

The priest is a man with a nice voice.

However, Estes didn't care. He pulled the brim of his baseball cap to cover his face while following him, while keeping his breath as restrained as possible so as not to frighten the clergy with the icy breath.

The man who occupies her heart is still Lu Ye.

Although she wanted to kill him now, it didn't affect her love for him.

In fact, before Lu Ye's identity as a traitor was exposed, she had already doubted herself.

In Estes, where strength is very important as a condition for choosing a mate, it should be obvious that only strong men are worthy of her.

But when she was with Lu Ye, she often ignored Lu Ye's strength, thinking that even if Lu Ye was just an unarmed citizen, she could still be happy with him.

But that's what love is.

When you are with someone, what you care most about is the feeling.

Estes doesn't need Mu Qiang, she is strong enough herself.

She just can't allow the people by her side to be weak.

But the appearance of Lu Ye broke her concept for the first time.

For the first time, when she had the idea of ​​protecting someone, she would think "ah, it's good to be weak occasionally, it can let him see my strength and make him fall in love with me even more".

But it was all too late.

The two opposites may never be able to meet again.

Raising his head slightly, Estes felt a little strange.

"This is where?"

The surrounding light was dim, and the elevator seemed to bring the two of them to a hidden platform in the church.

"It's a wonderful place."

The cleric put his hand on Esdeth's shoulder, rubbing it greedily and lightly.

"You are not an employee here."

"Of course not," the man said, putting a knife across Esdeth's neck, his voice sounded like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, "it's not difficult for me to get a suit, but it's hard to see A calm woman like you, although I don’t know why you are looking for that woman, but it’s all right now, there are only two of us here... I’ll help you take it off, don’t worry, my skills are very good, at least I can let you Happy to die."

"It's not necessary," Estes said, "wouldn't it be too cold if you took off your clothes?"

The man was taken aback, and when he was about to say something, he found that the temperature of the air had really dropped a lot!
A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart, Yan Xin retreated abruptly, and at the same time rolled to avoid the sharp ice thorn attacking from behind Esdeth, his heart was full of shock.

"Then, let's explain it carefully," Esdeath turned his head, "Who are you?"

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be Lord General!" Yan Xin licked her lips, "This is really incredible."

After saying this, he immediately ran away.

He knew that against Estes, he had no chance of winning.

Estes didn't say anything, and launched an attack, and the ice directly froze the entire room.

It's useless to talk too much, as long as you bring him back to the interrogation room, everything you want to know will be clear.

With no hope of escape, Yan Xin immediately launched a counterattack.

What surprised Estes a little was that the person in front of him was actually a Tegu envoy.

The offensive of the two knives is not weak, and a vacuum blade can be issued from them.

But this is not a difficult task for Estes.

The vacuum blade can be blocked by the ice wall drawn at will.

Although the opponent's skill is good, it will also be affected in the cold state.

After just a few rounds, Esdes subdued him.

If her strength hadn't fully recovered, she would have been able to freeze this guy into an ice sculpture just by meeting him.

She gave him a hand knife without hesitation.

But it was still a step too late, black blood poured out of Yan Xin's mouth.

Estes punched him on the side of the face, knocking out several big teeth and a bitten capsule.

"Poison... a step too late."

He rummaged through his body again, and after confirming that there was nothing available, Esdeth threw Yan Xin away like a trash.
