As Bonnie muttered these words, a pure smile appeared on her face. Killing did not make her feel uncomfortable at all; she even took pride in it!

Seven people, just seven people, finished the battle in less than five minutes. The troupe's encampment was covered in blood and gruesome corpses. Gozchi, who hadn't made a move, walked to Akame and Tsukushi's side and looked at the carnage in front of him with a puzzled look.

"Something seems a bit strange... Am I overthinking it?"

After staring at them for a moment, Gozchi turned his gaze to Akame and Tsukushi.

“You did a great job on this mission. The Sabatini Troupe saw your ability to defeat the bandits and couldn’t resist trying to recruit you, but you ended up revealing your true identities.”

Normally, Akame would be happy to receive praise, but this time she fell silent. Only Tsukushi showed her usual smile, showing her absolute trust in Gozuchi.

The eight people walked away, leaving behind a pool of bright red blood as a testament to the cruel tragedy that had occurred.

"Brother, they are clearly enemies of the empire, why are you saving them?"

The little girl's voice rang out abruptly amidst the hellish scene.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't want to watch these girls die in front of me?"

Blood, severed limbs—the space, ravaged by the assassination squad, shattered like a mirror in an instant. Everything vanished without a trace, leaving only broken tents and scattered tables and chairs. In the center of the camp, the Sabatini troupe members stared in terror at the two figures before them. In their minds, they had clearly died, only to regain consciousness in the brief moment of fading into oblivion. The pervasive cold rendered them unable to move, leaving them only to gaze with awe at the figure engulfed in blue flames…

270. Stance [Two-in-One]

"Well, although I don't know how you did it, I still want to thank you for saving us."

After the group of Akame and his companions had gone far away, the leader suddenly felt the severe cold that had frozen his body but not made him lose consciousness suddenly dissipate. He didn't even have time to catch his breath and thanked Lin Yu with a nervous expression.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Saving you was just a small thing, don't worry about it."

Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand. He knew why the commander had such an expression after being rescued.

This empire is terminally ill. Many people in high positions across the country are squandering their power, and there are many of them with perverse hobbies. Falling into the hands of such people is far more terrifying than being killed outright!

The leader was worried that Lin Yu was one of them. If that were the case, they would be facing a reality more terrifying than despair.

"Since you're all alright, I'll be leaving now. I also want to advise you that since your identities have been exposed, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

Lin Yu gave a word of advice and then led Hei Tong toward Chi Tong. Their main purpose in running so far was to find Chi Tong, but since they found that she was on a mission, they did not interfere rashly. It was not until just before the massacre began that Lin Yu intervened and saved the entire troupe.

However, the power Lin Yu used this time was quite special, and it was also the first time he had actually used it. Judging from the effect, it was unexpectedly effective. The seven people in the selection group plus Gozchi could be said to be the most perceptive people in the world. The system's assassination training gave them amazing intuition and five senses, but they did not find anything unusual in the previous massacre.

No, perhaps Gozchi instinctively sensed something was wrong before leaving, but he never imagined that someone could deceive their senses. You see, when killing, whether it's the feeling of a blade cutting through a body or the spilled blood, there can be no sense of incongruity, otherwise it will be noticed. Even if you deceive your vision, it will still be discovered.

In reality, Lin Yu's illusion was based on absolute reality. This massacre was real. For the leader and the others, they had indeed died at the hands of Akame and her group!

"Please wait!"

Although they had just experienced a life-or-death ordeal, the group leader's resilience was clearly much stronger than that of the other members. While the others were still in shock, the group leader had already mustered his strength and pulled himself together.

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

Lin Yu turned around and gave the leader a smile.

"if……"

The troupe leader was struggling internally. Just a dozen minutes ago, one of his wrong decisions almost destroyed the entire troupe. And this time, the idea that had been lingering in his mind was even more insane.

"I mean, if..."

He seemed to want to say something but hesitated, his expression constantly changing, before finally gritting his teeth and making up his mind.

"If it's possible, could you please join us?"

Once the troupe was exposed, it lost its value. He knew very well that even if he and his group returned to the revolutionary army, they would only be protected and would hardly be able to play any role in the revolution. Instead, they would be a great burden. So why not take a gamble?

call out!

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air was shrill and piercing. The commander gave a bitter smile, thinking to himself that he had made another wrong gamble.

"Kuro-touch, come back!"

As Lin Yu's voice rang out, a sharp blade reflecting a cold light was already pressed against his neck. The sharp blade of the Imperial Arms 'March of the Dead: Hachifusa' had already sliced ​​open his skin. If Lin Yu's voice had been a moment later, his head would have truly been ripped from his body!

"Huh? Why? This person actually dared to make your brother, a member of the Imperial Army, betray us? Can't he be killed?"

Hei Tong pouted in dissatisfaction. Her little grudge had almost subsided, but then Lin Yu actually saved the rebels, and these rebels even went so far as to persuade the imperial generals to rebel. This was unacceptable to Hei Tong.

"Tsk tsk, Little Black Eyes, you're not a member of the Imperial Army, why are you so excited? I haven't even said anything yet!"

Lin Yu observed the little girl's tantrum with great interest; to be honest, she was quite adorable.

"Hmph, I'm ignoring my brother now!"

In this real world, Kuroko has not experienced the life-and-death separations she had in the original work, let alone the drug modifications and brainwashing. Perhaps the current Kuroko is the real her.

Yes, although he can be a bit mischievous.

"Go on."

Ignoring the black pupils in the protest (acting cute), Lin Yu continued speaking to the leader.

"Commander, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

By this time, even the slowest members should have realized what was happening. Although they were somewhat surprised that they were still alive, they were now more concerned about the leader's actions.

"We have to play some role, don't we?"

The troupe leader gave a bitter smile to everyone. Everyone in the troupe was a group of partners who had gathered together to rebel against this corrupt empire. From the day they joined, they knew that their lives would not be in their own hands, and that once exposed, they would die.

This time, they survived for reasons they couldn't understand, but that also made them lose their reason for being.

"You should already be able to see the current state of this empire, shouldn't you?"

The regimental commander took a deep breath and, remaining calm, spoke to Lin Yu.

"Yes, I saw it. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Lin Yu's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.

"Since you have seen it, you must also know that this empire is now on its last legs. Only by overthrowing the rule of this empire can the people live happily. We are all dedicated to this ideal. If the revolutionary army has your help, the chances of the revolution succeeding will increase!"

The leader didn't know how strong Lin Yu really was, but the ability Lin Yu had shown was enough for him to risk being killed to invite him.

"I see."

A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face. Just when the commander thought he had succeeded, Lin Yu's words plunged him into despair.

"But I really like this empire!"

The battalion commander stared blankly at the smile on Lin Yu's face. He had originally thought it was a smile of approval, but he hadn't expected such an answer.

"This empire has indeed become corrupt, but that's precisely why I exist. I don't need an empire that is completely peaceful!"

His smile began to turn sinister.

"War, slaughter, and conquest—these are the meanings of my existence. I let you live only so that you can enjoy yourselves better in the future. If I extinguish the flames too quickly, how can I experience the magnificence of a wildfire spreading across the plains?"

Lin Yu opened his arms, and ice crystals began to condense in the air.

"I'll give you ten seconds to run for your lives. After ten seconds, these ice crystals will fall. I'm sure you don't want to experience that."

Everyone was still in shock when Lin Yu started counting down in a cheerful voice, which jolted them awake.

"ten!"

The simple word seemed to strike everyone's heart, bringing them back from their shock.

"Nine!"

The countdown continued without pause, and for a mere two seconds, everyone was still at a loss.

"Eight!"

The regimental commander suddenly woke up when Lin Yu counted to the third.

"Run! He's not joking!"

"seven!"

Like a death knell, Lin Yu's countdown was eerily unsettling, and everyone in the troupe began to flee in the opposite direction.

"……two!"

In just ten seconds, you can't run very far, and everyone subconsciously looked back as they ran.

"one!"

Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye, but it felt like ten minutes had gone by. The ice crystals that had been hanging in mid-air finally started to move, shooting out one by one. Neither the walls nor the broken walls could affect them in the slightest. The ice crystals that shot out on time were completely inaccurate, but the astonishing number of them was still terrifying.

Logically speaking, such a large number of ice crystals could have taken the lives of most people even without deliberate manipulation. However, it was as if it deliberately avoided everyone, and no body was left behind after all the members of the troupe had fled far away.

Perhaps when they reunite soon, they will discover that they can't even find one of their injured members...

"Brother, really, why did you only scare them a little?"

Black Eyes kicked a pebble on the ground in dissatisfaction, as if venting her frustration.

"Black Eyes, do you think they deserve to die?"

Lin Yu looked in the direction the troupe members had left and asked Hei Tong.

"Is there even a question? The rebels deserve to die!"

Hei Tong spoke with conviction. Although she had been by Lin Yu's side all these years, there were many things that Lin Yu could not change, such as her stubborn nature.

"Then do you think this empire still has any value in continuing to exist?"

Once again, in Hei Tong's eyes, it was a question with no suspense. The little girl tilted her head and placed the back of her hand on Lin Yu's forehead.

"You don't have a fever, so why are you saying such strange things?"

The little girl has perfectly imitated how Lin Yu treated her when she was little. Lin Yu always treated her the same way when she asked some strange questions.

"Answer honestly!"

Lin Yu glared fiercely at the disrespectful girl, who pouted and was practically glaring back at him.

"Since you're in this empire, brother, then it certainly has its value!"

That's right. In fact, Black Eyes' thoughts are that simple. Her loyalty has never been to this empire, but to Lin Yu and Red Eyes who exist in this empire!

It is precisely because of Lin Yu and Akame's existence that Kurohime is so concerned about maintaining the stability of the empire. This girl's thoughts are not that complicated; that's really all she is!

"I knew you'd say that."

Lin Yu gently patted the little girl's head, feeling that bringing Hei Tong out of the assassination squad was the best thing he had ever done since coming to this world!

"but……"
