"A target more anticipated than the future revenge war?"
Najenda hesitated for a moment, and because of her own circumstances, she thought of other aspects, such as...
Revolutionary Army!
"This empire has begun to rot. Perhaps supporting the revolutionary army is the only hope for its revitalization, but..."
Najenda glanced at Lin Yu, then looked at Esdeath further away.
"With these two around, is there really any hope for the revolution?"
With these doubts in mind, Najenda and Esdeath continued to lead the army back to the capital. The unexpectedly swift suppression greatly increased Najenda and Esdeath's fame. However, Najenda had no interest in fame at all. Her mind was entirely focused on the terrifying combat power of Esdeath and Lin Yu that she had witnessed in the war.
"In any case, this corrupt empire has no reason to continue to exist. We must find a way to join the revolutionary army."
Alone in her mansion, Najenda felt no joy at her victory, only a turmoil that left her deeply troubled.
"It's impossible to persuade Esdeath; her personality has already determined that she can never live in a peaceful and prosperous era. But since Lin Yu is willing to risk falling out with Esdeath to stop her, there should be hope!"
Yes! It definitely can!
Najeta suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
"If Lin Yu can join the revolutionary army, the hope of the revolution will be greatly increased!"
Najenda's breathing became heavy; she needed an opportunity, an opportunity to express her expectations...
"Is that all? Weren't you quite domineering when you stopped me back then?"
On the outskirts of the capital, Lin Yu, panting heavily, glared at Esdeath, who still strolled leisurely down at him. It was time for their battle again. Lin Yu had long ago made an agreement with Esdeath that he could not use most of his abilities, including the Eye of Calamity, in such battles. Therefore, every battle was a predictable defeat for him. Although he was indeed growing stronger, Esdeath was not stagnant either. In fact, if we were to talk about the rate of growth, Esdeath was the one who was growing the fastest!
"Let's let our abilities speak for themselves!"
Lin Yu's current strength is still enough to defeat Esdeath, but it won't be long before he can no longer utter such a threat, as Esdeath's growth rate can only be described as astonishing.
"Oh? Really? Want to give it a try?"
Esdeath was not to be outdone, or rather, she was quite eager to try. In the past, all-out battles had ended in her defeat, and she really wanted to defeat Lin Yu in a full-fledged battle!
"Never mind."
Lin Yu shrank back, not because he was afraid of fighting, but because the experience of being ambushed last time was still fresh in his mind. Who knew if there were any agents lurking around? As time went by, more and more agents had arrived.
"Boring."
Esdeath pursed her lips and sheathed her sword. Her original sword had been damaged in the last battle, and her current weapon was the best besides her Imperial Arms.
The next day, not long after Esdeath left, someone arrived at the courtyard of the mansion without any hindrance. Lin Yu was already sitting on a stone bench, enjoying his leisurely time.
"grown ups."
The newcomer knelt on one knee. Lin Yu's information network covered all aspects of the capital, and he could find out most of the information he wanted. However, he had not yet been able to screen out anyone suspected of being an agent.
"We've got news about the sisters you mentioned."
Lin Yu paused slightly in his teacup, then put it down and walked over to the intelligence officer.
"Really?" Lin Yu looked up at the sky, then walked towards the door. "Looks like it's time to go take a look."
Before the story begins, Lin Yu doesn't actually have much to do; he just needs to follow his plan step by step. However, there are two sisters he can't let go of.
Unlike Mine, who grew up alone on the southwestern border and suffered bullying, she was able to survive strong. Mine did not need pity. A person who survives through their own efforts is not pitiful!
All Mine needed was support and affirmation, so Lin Yu simply left with the words "live strong" before departing. But these two sisters were different; in the original story, their beliefs and fates were far too tumultuous, so Lin Yu had to cut off the source of their misfortune!
"Isn't this General Esdeath's lieutenant? What brings you here?"
A burly man with a scar on his face grinned at Lin Yu. Esdeath was now the most dazzling rising star in the entire empire. Even he, the head of the assassination squad, had to avoid conflict with her. A person who did not know how to adapt could not survive in this empire. Esdeath's power was enough to easily send him to see the First Emperor.
"It's nothing. I just heard that a group of promising children have come here, so I came to take a look and pick out a few for General Esdeath."
Lin Yu had no intention of beating around the bush. The empire's method of training assassination troops was extremely cruel, with a large number of children dying every year, and only a handful ultimately making it to the top. Even if they performed exceptionally well, they might not be suitable for this place. Therefore, it was not a big deal for Lin Yu to ask to select people from here.
"How many men does General Esdeath want? If it's too many, I won't be able to explain myself."
The big man narrowed his eyes slightly. Handing over the children was not a problem. These children had not received any training yet. Even if they were handed over, a batch could be bought back for a small amount of money. It was not a loss at all. If he could also get in touch with Esdeath, it would be a good thing.
"Not many, just two will be enough, but I don't want the really bad ones. I'll observe them here for the next couple of days."
Lin Yu didn't care how rude his request was, since he knew the other party couldn't refuse.
"Then please do as you wish."
The scarred man nodded and led Lin Yu to a doorway. When the door opened, a large number of children looked at each other in confusion, crowding into the room.
Lin Yu's gaze swept across the children's faces, and he saw some familiar faces among them, probably those who had appeared in the original work, but he still hadn't seen his target.
Lin Yu wasn't in a hurry. Now that he had received the report, the person he was looking for must be here!
Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, he spotted the two sisters; they had equally exquisite appearances.
237. Moving Forward Hand in Hand [Two-in-One]
"Then, let the trial begin!"
The head of the Imperial assassination squad stood before these young children and announced the fate that awaited them.
"You have only one mission: to cross the forest behind you. Only the first ten to arrive will have the chance to continue living!"
As soon as the words were spoken, nearly a thousand children were plunged into panic. Only one percent of them could survive. Such harsh conditions were almost despairing. In an instant, cries and shouts filled the small room.
Once Lin Yu found his target, he never looked away. He would help them escape their original fate, but that did not mean he would treat them like hothouse flowers. This trial was their opportunity to transform, so Lin Yu did not intend to interfere.
"Do you think the conditions are too harsh?"
The person in charge wore a cruel smile.
"Then let's relax the conditions a bit more. In addition to the top ten, anyone who can kill more than twenty of their companions will also be allowed to live!"
The noise abruptly stopped. After a moment of stunned silence, almost all the children subconsciously moved away from their companions who had been leaning on each other, their faces filled with wariness. Only the two sisters who were being watched by Lin Yu remained tightly entwined, showing no signs of misunderstanding.
"This road is riddled with weapons. If you want to survive, you only have these two paths to take. So, the choice is yours. Go, complete the mission, and try your best to survive!"
After a brief silence came a frantic escape as hundreds of children rushed desperately toward the forest, only to be attacked the moment they left the room.
Dangerous species! A large number of dangerous species!
Various low-level dangerous species began their slaughter. These children had never received systematic training, and no matter how great their potential, they would only be slaughtered in the face of dangerous species. Their trial required them to face not only attacks from their companions, but also threats from dangerous species!
"Sister, let's go!"
Of the two little girls huddled together, the one with longer hair, who looked more mature, was the first to show a determined expression. She tightly grasped her younger sister's hand and ran towards the dangerous and unknown jungle. She did not want to kill her companion to gain a chance to survive, so her only chance was to be among the first ten to cross the forest!
"I think I've found it."
Lin Yu smiled and said to the head of the assassination squad.
"Oh? So fast?"
The person in charge was slightly taken aback. He didn't think that the person who could stay by Esdeath's side was an ordinary person. Since he said that, he must have really found the goal of his trip.
"You don't mind if I follow you, do you?"
Although that's what he said, he would actually follow the assassination squad leader regardless of whether the leader agreed or not, and the other party was aware of this and readily nodded.
Without even glancing at the other person, Lin Yu vanished the moment he finished speaking.
"So fast!"
The head of the assassination squad was drenched in cold sweat.
"At such speed, if he wanted to assassinate someone, who could escape? I didn't expect that Esdeath's lieutenant would be so powerful. I really don't know how strong she is."
In the forest, Lin Yu concealed himself and followed behind the Akame and Kurome sisters. Kurome was now very dependent on her older sister, while Akame was determined to keep her younger sister alive. The two held hands tightly, and under Akame's guidance, they successfully avoided the hunting of dangerous species. They were still too weak, and if they encountered dangerous species, they would almost certainly die.
"Huh, huh..."
The two sisters wandered through the dense forest, occasionally encountering other children with wary eyes, but no one dared to approach them easily, after all, no one wanted to become a bargaining chip for the other's survival.
"Sister, I'm so tired, can I rest for a bit?"
Black Eyes looked as pitiful as a wounded kitten. Lin Yu almost couldn't resist rushing over and taking this cute little girl home to play a raising game with. However, considering the future, he restrained himself.
"Who?!"
Akame suddenly turned her gaze towards Lin Yu's direction. The sudden shout startled her, and she couldn't help but admire him. As expected of a future ace assassin, he possessed such strong insight at such a young age. Lin Yu had only been so captivated by Kurohime's cuteness that the branch he stepped on made a slight noise, yet Akame had noticed it.
"Is nobody here?"
Akame frowned, then looked at her younger sister, with whom she depended on each other, with a gentle expression.
"Hang in there a little longer, it's too dangerous here."
Akame patted Kurome's little head, and all Lin Yu could say was, "Let go of that little girl, let me handle her!"
Okay, if he could, Lin Yu would love to enjoy the feeling of his sister patting his head, but for now he needs to be patient, yes, he must be patient!
Lin Yu wiped the unknown liquid from the corner of his mouth, then continued to follow the two adorable lolis with a look of grim determination. He had made up his mind that no matter how cute the lolis were, he would restrain himself and absolutely not do anything that would violate the sacred word "gentleman"!
"careful!"
Akame suddenly tackled Kurome to the ground, and a sharp knife flew from where they had just been standing, piercing a tree trunk not far away.
"Tch, he actually dodged it."
Akame stared intently in the direction the knife had been thrown. A fierce-looking little boy was playing with the knife in his hand, looking at Kurome and Akame as if they were his prey.
"Why bother trying to avoid dying easily?"
The little boy jumped down from the tree trunk. Despite looking only about eight years old, he seemed to have no aversion to killing.
What are you going to do?
Akame shielded Kurome with her body, her small face filled with solemnity.
"What are you doing? Do you even need to ask?"
The little boy gave a wicked smile; it was hard to imagine such a smile appearing on the face of an eight-year-old child.
"It's not easy to cross the jungle and make it into the top ten, so please let me kill you obediently, so you can suffer less."
The little boy licked his lips, holding a short knife in his hand, and walked towards Akame and Kurome.
"If you include me, I'll have half of the total. We can't waste too much time, or it will be too troublesome to find people."
"Half?" Akame's heart skipped a beat, somewhat incredulous: "You've already killed eight people?"
The trial required either crossing the jungle in the top ten or killing twenty companions. The little boy said that including the Akame sisters would make up half of the requirement, meaning that he had killed eight children in less than half an hour after the trial began!
