The figure of Wei Gong was lightly walking on the roof of the imperial residence. The speed of the advance was very fast, but there was no sound. This made the patrols on the street not aware of his actions at all. The current Wei Gong has already Incarnate as an assassin in the dark, approaching your target quickly and silently.
Ten minutes later, Emiya arrived at the destination.
It was a huge house with bright lights, a tall house, a spacious courtyard, and guards patrolling everywhere. From the appearance alone, it may only make people think that it is the residence of ordinary dignitaries. However, in this imperial capital In the middle, it is often not so simple under the bright and beautiful appearance.
Wei Gong silently crossed the high wall, without disturbing anyone, without any hesitation, the goal was very clear, and came directly to the roof of the tallest building in the house.
After arriving at the destination, Emiya looked around for a while, and after confirming that there were no other people, he started his own actions.
Inside the house, in the top-most room, Crew, the owner of the house, was entertaining a guest.
"Captain Oka, our business has been so good recently, thanks to the diligent work of the garrison, I am very grateful," As he said, Crewe pushed a small box to Oka sitting opposite, "These are our Everyone's condolences to the guards, please accept."
"Oh, Mr. Crewe is too polite, and that's also the duty." Oka smiled and reached out to take the box, opened a little gap, and nodded with satisfaction at the golden light reflected inside.
"Don't be too modest. Captain Oka's name is very familiar in this imperial capital. It not only makes criminals afraid, but also sympathizes with us businessmen. I am very grateful."
"Where, it is because of you that the imperial capital is so prosperous. Besides, the duty of the garrison is to protect law-abiding citizens, so Mr. Crewe is welcome."
False words accompanied by ugly transactions echoed back and forth in this luxurious room. It was disgusting. The luxurious plush carpet in the room and the gold and silver utensils around the room all showed the richness of the owner of the room, but this richness was not enough. It gave off a strong nouveau riche vibe.
Not only that, if someone is familiar with the true image hidden behind this huge wealth, I am afraid it will make those who know it terrified.
The conversation in the room continued, and the private transaction was still going on, but the content of the transaction had changed.
"Captain Oka, the number of prisoners in the dungeon has increased a lot recently. Captain Oka is really working hard." Crew had a relaxed smile on his face, but he turned to another direction without showing any trace.
"Where, after all, it's your duty," Oka smiled when he heard this, but this smile with his hideous face made it even more intimidating, "But it's true, the number of prisoners is gradually increasing, and the guards are on guard. The team's prisons are a bit not enough, it would be nice if someone could help share it."
"That's right. I am willing to help the garrison to share some of the pressure. I hope Captain Oka can accept it with a smile. After all, I am also the people of the Imperial Capital, so I should contribute to the Imperial Capital." Hearing Oka's answer, Kru smiled. A little deeper, and at the same time, he lifted a box twice as large from under the table with both hands and pushed it in front of Oka, "There are a few places that require manpower, and a few dance halls that need waiters. The prisoners are reformed through labor there, which can not only create profits for the empire, but also allow the criminals to repent in good faith, it really kills two birds with one stone."
"Oh? Of course you have to support this kind of good thing. Don't worry, Mr. Crewe. I will send someone to discuss this matter tomorrow." Oka was also polite, reached out and took the box and put it beside him.
The private transactions between black-hearted businessmen and corrupt officials are carried out in this brightly lit house under the dark night sky. The two of them are not worried about being heard by others. After all, they have done There has been more than one such transaction.
It's just that all this was heard clearly by the people who were hidden above the beams.
Wei Gong was quietly squatting on the roof beam at this time, his face was expressionless, as if his heart was not fluctuating, but the cold gaze in his eyes betrayed his emotions at this time.
He knew those two people, or he was specifically investigating the two of them.
Oka, the captain of the Imperial City Guard, nicknamed "Oka of the Demons", is the object of fear of many criminals.I was embarrassed with unscrupulous businessmen to make huge profits illegally, and framed and killed many innocent people, and unlike the oil merchants only mentioned in the original book, in the past few years when Oka was the captain of the garrison, I colluded with many unscrupulous businessmen to seek Profiteering.
Crewe, one of the businessmen in the imperial capital, owns several mines and several restaurants and dance halls under his name. On the surface, he is a legitimate businessman, but in fact he uses Oka's relationship as a guard captain to use illegal means to obtain benefits.
[That’s good, those criminals only need to contribute their strength to themselves, being able to help me is the best honor for those criminals, this guy can give it to him if he wants, anyway, there is no shortage in the imperial capital It's the pariahs. 】
Thinking of this, the hideous smile on Oka's face deepened a bit. For him, interests are the most important thing. As for criminals, there are a lot of people in the slums, and they are not guilty.
[Very good, but this time I have to pick a few stronger ones. I can’t be like the last time, and I won’t be able to do it after a few times. 】
Crew's face also showed a disgusting smile. In order to reduce the cost, he used the criminals he bought to develop minerals. As for the female criminals, he was shoved into the dance hall and used their bodies to benefit Crew. , In order to prevent them from escaping, Crewe also controlled them by injecting them with psychedelic drugs.Due to the intensity of work and the harsh working environment, the death rate of criminals working in mines has reached [-]%, and the female prisoners are even more miserable. The use of psychedelic drugs has greatly damaged their bodies and spirits. The final result is almost all Nervous breakdown or contracted venereal disease, miserable death, and then buried without knowing where.
The two celebrated the transaction between them. Dirty transactions that ordinary people could not accept were commonplace to them, and there was no sense of guilt. In the imperial capital, such people controlled the economy and real power and had to Said it was a sad thing.
Not only that, the transaction between the two of them is a microcosm in this city. The transactions of those in power are vividly displayed in this darkness, but in the end it is the most ordinary people of the empire who suffer.
Oka and Krewe laughed happily, but they didn't realize that on the beams, the stalkers in the dark night had silently showed their cold fangs to them.
Chapter 18 The last light source
"It's on fire, come here, put out the fire quickly."
Accompanied by the flames rising into the sky and the shouts of the guards in the house, Wei Gong quietly left the scene without disturbing or being discovered by anyone, just like when he came.
A fire destroyed all the blood and all traces left in the room. Even after the death of the merchant Crewe, he still had that disgusting smile on his face. Died without realizing it.
As for Oka, the captain of the garrison, the target of the first solo mission of the protagonist of the original novel did not last two rounds under Emiya's men, and he was cut to the sword by Emiya without even making a cry for help.
The corpses of the two were disguised as being burned to death by the palace. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, an accidental fire caused the captain of the guard team Oka and the big businessman Kru to die in the sea of fire. As for some doubts, no one I will go to investigate. There are a lot of pretenders for the position of the captain of the guard team, and the property left behind by Crewe was taken advantage of by other businessmen. , I am afraid that this will become the talk of the people in the imperial capital after dinner and then gradually be forgotten, but this has nothing to do with Wei Gong.
After coming out of the house, Emiya did not immediately return to his house, but instead moved quickly in the other direction.
Just now, Zaruba told him that the position of the last light source was determined.
In fact, on the second day after the battle with Ye Raid, Zaruba found out the approximate location of the light source, but this time the target was moving towards the imperial capital. In this way, Emiya was not in a hurry to recover the target. It is to settle down in the imperial capital, on the one hand to inquire about the news, and on the other hand to wait for the arrival of the light source.
But what puzzled Zaruba was that he felt that the target had entered the imperial capital during the day yesterday, but Emiya, who got the news, did not act immediately. ] Reasons to rest all day.
But this evening, Emiya didn't head towards the location of the light source for the first time. Instead, he attacked the target he had set before. "Shouldn't this situation be focused on the target? 】Having such doubts in his heart, but seeing that Emiya had no plans to explain, Zaruba let him go.
Emiya quickly shuttled between the roofs, but his thoughts were a little floating. He was a little irritable now. Although he understood the dark side of this world in the memory of the soul fragment, when he went deep into it himself, he was still stunned. The darkness was irritated.
In the past few days, Wei Gong has collected a lot of information from the hawkers in the neighborhood in order to understand the news of this imperial capital. Among them, many of Wei Gong’s attention have been investigated a little, but this has given him a deep understanding of the darkness of the imperial capital, human nature. The darkness of Emiya was once again expressed in a deeper way in front of Emiya, which made Emiya's heart a haze.
Although he disapproves of human beings, it is undeniable that Emiya once dreamed of making everyone happy. Even if this dream is denied by himself, Emiya himself is a human being, and even if he becomes a heroic spirit, he still acts as a guardian. Humans have struggled, and Emiya's character will not be completely changed by becoming a heroic spirit. In this way, Emiya started his own hunting.
Corrupt officials who exploit their power to exploit the people, black-hearted businessmen who use unlawful means to suck the fat of the people, and even human traffickers who buy and sell people are all targets in Wei Gong's eyes, and this time, of course.
Perfectly solve the target and disguise it as an accident, this kind of thing Emiya is familiar with when he is responsible for the guardian.
The night was still dark, and the bright moon in the sky shed a layer of silver light, but it could not ease the haze in Wei Gong's heart, [How far will the darkness of human nature reach. 】
In my heart, I thought about the questions that had appeared in my mind a long time ago. It was not so much a question as it was a questioning of my heart.Emiya didn't have an answer, or he deliberately avoided this question. Emiya never wanted to find out, but this time, in this different world, the answer was revealed to him bloody.
The red figure walks through the night sky of the imperial capital, avoiding the patrolling guards from time to time. Wei Gong soon arrives at the target location, which is another house. From the outside, it is a little more low-key than Crewe's, but still It can make people feel the richness of the owner of the house.
After taking a little look around, Emiya didn't waste time and quickly sneaked into the house.
