Chapter 211 A wolf in sheep’s clothing
A mansion not far from Yuan Qi.

Looking at his friend Zhu Tian who was anxiously looking for the [Death in the Fog], Goziqi did not immediately help the thug.

He slowly sheathed the knife and continued to study the information in his hand, talking to Zhu Tian about some irrelevant topics as if they were just casual conversations.

"You know, corpses can actually talk.

"But the four bodies published in the newspaper last night, as bodies themselves, are actually not worth exploring in the search for Death in the Mist.

"On the contrary, it was the remains of my daughter, the horse-headed half of her body, that brought me the most valuable information about the Death God of the Mist and the Shinsengumi it mentioned."

After hearing Goziqi mention the horse head without any emotion, Zhu Tian did not continue to talk about "Death in the Mist".

He hesitated for a moment before speaking, and the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy.

“I heard about the horse head incident.

“Gozzi, I’m sorry about her.

"She wasn't supposed to go that day, but when she heard about the murder, she begged me to let her go on that mission in place of an Imperial Tool User.

"I was the one who taught that child how to kill, and watched her grow little by little until she earned the title of one of the Four Rakshasa Ghosts."

Goziqi interrupted Zhu Tian's somewhat melancholy speech and said with a serious expression.

"Zhu Tian, ​​as a 'thug' of a [Minister], you can't be so sentimental.

"He's going to die."

Then there was a pause before Gozizi's tone returned to normal.

“Also, you should be well aware that it’s not uncommon for assassins to die while carrying out murder missions.

"You and I might die one day while on a mission to kill the enemy.

“This is the only way the assassin will end.

"Ma Tou's death is really a trivial matter, not to mention that her body brought crucial information."

Gozizi added with an unconsciously sinister smile on his face.

“If I hadn’t used Murasame before, it would have been easy to overlook the details on the corpse.

"There were traces of the poisonous curse attached to Murasame spread on the horse's head.

“She was first killed by Murasame’s attack, and then her body was shattered by that punch.

"Therefore, one of those three people with uncertain faces must be the Akame who took my [Murasame]."
-
Zhu Tian seemed to realize something and blurted out.

"This Shinsengumi organization, which appeared out of nowhere, doesn't have the same operational strategy as the other party claims: 'repaying evil with evil' or 'commissioning a murder'.

“The leader, the [Death God in the Mist], is actually collaborating with the Revolutionary Army and has close ties with the organization.

“The crimes on the list read out on the spot by the other party must have been collected through channels like the Revolutionary Army.

"The other party's purpose in killing people is to complete the assassination commission of the revolutionary army. It's just a disguise. As long as we..."

Goziqi handed the information in his hand to Zhu Tian and said what his companion wanted to say.

"As long as we know the content and acceptance of the revolutionary army's assassination commissions, we can follow the clues and find them.

"I didn't stand at the city gate for half a day today in vain. I have sent spies to catch some 'rats'.

“Our Dr. Fashion has provided us with some new drugs for torture.

"It seems these drugs are indeed effective. Several of our sensible friends have already defected at lightning speed. Tonight's operation is to capture the more valuable members of the Revolutionary Army who have been revealed by them. Meanwhile, the Minister's information on his insider information within the Revolutionary Army has also returned from the south."

Zhu Tian did not answer Goziqi's words, but looked at the information written by Goziqi in his hand.

"The dangerous flying vehicle that [Death in the Mist] was riding on was affiliated with the Revolutionary Army Headquarters. Its last mission was to carry Natacha and several other members to the Imperial Capital to assist [Night Raid] in completing their mission."

"The strength of these members is below the level of generals and they do not possess [Teigu]. Based on their strength, they are not considered [Mist Death God]. At the same time, there is no organization named [Shinsengumi] within the Revolutionary Army. Therefore, the core figure [Mist Death God] is not affiliated with the Revolutionary Army."

"Among the members of the revolutionary army heading to the imperial capital, there is a member named Fang Yi who needs your attention."

Zhu Tian was stunned when he saw the information. He looked at Goziqi and was about to speak when he was interrupted by his friend's words.

“That’s not our ‘duty’.

"We just need to kill the Death in the Mist.

"As part of my 'duty', I will dispatch personnel to gather information on Fang Yi and submit it to the [Minister]. It is the [Minister's] responsibility to decide how to use these personnel.

"Without orders from the [Minister], we don't need to do anything unnecessary."

*
Goziqi turned to Zhu Tian and told him his next plan.

"Tonight, we will first encircle and eliminate a wave of Revolutionary Army members, reducing their manpower to carry out the mission. Then, through an insider, we will submit a difficult assassination request, forcing [Night Raid] to complete the request we have constructed.

"Akagome now belongs to the organization called Night Raid. As long as Night Raid accepts our assigned commission, the appearance of the Mist Reaper, who is closely related to her, is only a matter of probability. If it doesn't work once, try a few more times and he will definitely appear.

"That [Imperial Weapon User] named Lan, after being admitted to the cell and having his background information collected, can be used to deal with dangerous flying species after being confirmed to be a useful person.

"We've traced Yuan Qi back to the Imperial Incineration Unit. His suspicion of being a member of the Mist Reaper has been reduced, but he still needs to be monitored."

After hearing about Goziqi's highly feasible plan, Zhu Tian nodded in agreement and gave a reminder.

"Don't forget the man named Disma that Fang Yi mentioned and who he had an appointment to meet at the tavern. We need to investigate him as well."

Just as Goziqi was about to speak, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

After Goziqi shouted "Come in", the spy saluted Zhu Tian and Goziqi and told them the information about Disma and Fang Yi that the two were still discussing.

"The young man named Fang Yi, after accepting the identity information we provided, was getting familiar with his identity and was not in a hurry to leave the room.

"There was nothing unusual about him, he was very relaxed and seemed to be enjoying himself.

"He only made one request, hoping that we could find his friend named Disma as soon as possible.

"As for Disma, we found his trace at the tavern Fang Yi described, but the situation was beyond our imagination."

The spy hesitated for a moment before saying something that made Goziqi doubt his ears.

"That man named Disma seems to have been scammed. Now he's preparing to spend the night on the streets."
-
Imperial capital, ten minutes after dark.

Disma was sitting bored at a busy intersection, staring blankly at the carriages coming and going.

At this moment, he was pretending to be a penniless laborer who couldn't find a job, preparing to spend the night with the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed.

His fingers tapped lightly on the duffel bag beside him—a "countryman" duffel bag specially ordered for him by the Oberg Assassination Society. Made of rough, low-quality cloth, it was bulging with various household items from remote villages that the Oberg Assassination Society had prepared for him.

They are all the kind that can definitely stand up to scrutiny.

At this moment, Disma has become "brand new" after Fang Yi's careful arrangements.

The heavy jackets and sturdy linings that he once wore were all replaced with traditional clothes full of the local flavor of the empire.

He was still tall and strong, but his appearance had been carefully modified to look like an ordinary imperial man, the kind from the countryside.

The makeup and hair on his face were also carefully adjusted, and he transformed from a muscular bandit into a rural worker exuding a simple atmosphere.

Disma looked down at his luggage, then looked at the dimly lit streets in the distance. He took a deep breath and touched the talisman of [Blood Demon Art: Eye Hidden] under his hat.

He began to observe the people and carriages around him through the vision transmitted back by the 'intelligent crow' Yajiu, while preparing to adjust his position.

He held half of the flute and activated the [Hearts Separated] function through the relic [Severed Bonds] to communicate with Fang Yi, who was far away in prison.

"The crows had previously discovered the spy who was following me, but he made no move to contact me.

"So, I successfully played the role of the 'country bumpkin who was deceived due to his inexperience' right under his nose and gave the bag of money to [Leone].

"Now I just have to wait for the lady named Arya to show up and take me, a country bumpkin, to her mansion.

"But isn't it a little strange to stay here?"

Fang Yi, who was reading a newspaper and drinking hot tea in prison, replied in his heart.

“It’s not strange to be here, you are now Disma, a country bumpkin sleeping on the street.

"[The Oberg Assassination Society] has gathered intelligence on the enemy. They've already left in their carriage. It's likely they're on a 'hunting trip' to bring the country folk back to their mansion to torture them.
"You're basically on Arya's path now. You should remember the characteristics of her carriage. Just remember to say those few quick, representative country slang phrases.

"As long as you stand in front of her and say this, you will be absolutely safe."

Disma scratched his head. Although he felt that Fang Yi’s plan was a bit outrageous from beginning to end, he still chose to believe Fang Yi’s arrangement.

He began to report another matter to Fang Yi.

"That 'Barame' came to me today and told me something.

"There was a Reincarnator named 'Youyu' in his team who disagreed with him. He was not prepared to give up the hidden mission of collecting information about the Revolutionary Army and passing it on.

"That samsara has left Madarame's team and is now carrying out missions alone. Madarame speculates that he might be planning to betray us, so we need to find a way to deal with him.

"I asked the Oberg Assassination Society to investigate, and now they've reported back that they've discovered that Youyu has come into contact with Imperial spies.

"So should I come, or will you?"

Fang Yi couldn't help but smile when he heard Disma's murderous words and replied.

"Just take care of Arya's mission. I'll take care of Swimming Fish right away. He'll be put to a more valuable use.

“After Arya brings you back to the mansion, please remember to leave a letter for me at the tavern, explaining your whereabouts.

"And I will be 'out of prison' to find you soon, and 'get' your letter to [Arya's] mansion."

As the two were talking, a carriage that Disma had longed for appeared before his eyes.

The girl's gentle voice reached Disma's ears.

"Stop the car, there seems to be someone here who needs help."

Arya, the core figure in Fang Yi's carefully planned 'chance encounter' plan, appears.

Several apprentices of the [Oberg Assassination Society] equipped with [Blood Demon Art: Hidden Eyes] were assigned to monitor the roads, while the 'Intelligent Crow' Yajiu was used for aerial reconnaissance.

As a result of various factors, Disma finally appeared at the intersection where the other party would pass at the right time, completing this "chance encounter".
-
Arya, a blonde in a dress, gave the "stop" command to the two guards, got off the carriage, and slowly walked towards Disma who was sitting at the intersection.

She looked at Disma and his luggage and almost blurted out the word "country bumpkin".

She took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her expression, put on a kind smile, bent down and spoke to Disma in a friendly tone.

"Good evening sir, it looks like you're having some trouble.

"It's a bit chilly at night at this time of year, and the clothes you're wearing aren't enough to keep you warm. You could easily get sick if you stay out on the street for a night.

"If you don't have a place to stay, why don't you come to my house?

“My house is pretty big.”

Contrary to her kind face, the girl had a completely different thought in her mind.

[This guy looks pretty strong. I guess he could be hung up and tortured for a long time in that warehouse in the suburbs.]

[My mother would probably like this kind of strong man. She could even cut off his genitals and make specimens.]

Disma didn't say anything, but just showed a suspicious look.

This acting really took up all of Disma's energy, and he successfully deceived Arya in front of him.

[This country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, how could he be so ungrateful! ]

She glanced at the guards around her, signaling them to say something like "aiding and abetting the evil."

The guards also chimed in, "Miss Arya is kind-hearted. She can't just sit back and watch someone like you."
-
A few minutes later.

After what they thought was a "perfect" collaboration, Arya and the guards successfully "persuaded" Disma to get on their carriage.

After learning that Disma had a friend named Fang Yi, Elena generously took out three silver coins and asked the tavern owner to convey the letter Disma left for Fang Yi.

Looking at the somewhat strong Disma in front of her, Arya in the carriage had already thought of the thirteenth way to torture him.

At the same time, Fang Yi successfully "got out of prison" and, under the surveillance of spies, was rushing to the tavern where a letter was left for him.

Half an hour later, the Reincarnator 'Youyu' at the Revolutionary Army's base looked at Lubbock in front of him and Akame beside him, and felt that his luck had changed.

He received a mission from a man who called himself Lubbock to assassinate the evil noble Elena.

The reward for the mission is quite generous compared to other less profitable commissions, but it is only for one person.

'Yuyu' thought.

【Isn’t that the lucky guy like me? 】
