What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

Dr. Fashion was thinking about how to get Will to join his experiment; Lan just used his expertise as a teacher and wrote and drew on the materials while listening.

"My fellow imperial weapon users, I'm in a hurry. Please come on together."

Imperial weapon users: Huh?

Esdeath walked out of the conference room in her high heels, closing the door behind her amid the ping-pong noises and screams of men and women:

"Troublesome things should be dealt with quickly and neatly. After the fight, change your clothes and I will take you to see the emperor."

62. Sickle Digging the Ground

The sickle digs the ground!

Sailu, who was flying over, was grabbed by the ankle and thrown to the ground, breaking three floor tiles.

The elephant kicks!

Will was hit by an unexpected punch in the liver. He was still wondering why a kick was a punch when his eyes went dark and he fell to his knees.

"I, I don't need it, right? It's immoral..." Lan was not much better. Before he could spread his wings that could be used as a flying prop, Connor hit him on the center of his forehead with the biscuit he had snatched from Heitong.

"A waste of food..." Hei Tong, whose biscuits were snatched away, was filled with murderous intent and was about to draw out her imperial weapon. No matter what the superior was, if he didn't let her eat, he should be killed!

Press the swallow's wings to untie the spring, and the sword will shine brightly...

Well!

Not only was the Imperial Gear [March of the Dead: Eight Chambers] pushed back, but there was also a cookie in Hei Tong's mouth. Years of habit made Hei Tong subconsciously chew quickly, and his two rows of small teeth moved quickly. Cookies were not just desserts for Hei Tong, but also contained drugs injected by the Empire. While strengthening abilities, they also put a great burden on the body and made the injector dependent on the drugs.

After pushing the eating Kuroneko back to his seat, the only ones who could still sit still were Dr. Fashion and Porus, the former member of the Incineration Corps.

"I've told you before, I'm a scientist! I don't have the same power as them!" Dr. Fashion raised his hands. In a normal fight, the power that his imperial weapon could exert was limited, and once he used drugs, it was no longer a fight.

"Whoosh!"

As he spoke, Dr. Fashion, with the help of the imperial weapon, was able to complete hundreds of times more precise movements with his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, a special projectile was ejected.

Snapped!

Connor opened his palm, and the bullet in his palm was spinning rapidly: "The accuracy is good, but the power is not enough."

Dr. Fashion raised his eyebrows and lay down on the floor neatly and swiftly.

Now the last masked man left is Porus.

He is the oldest among all the recruited imperial weapon users, and is not as easily provoked as Will and the others.

"As a married person, I can provide you and General Esdeath with some experience..."

Porus had no intention of attacking from the beginning. Although the army emphasizes strength, not every superior must be the strongest in the army. He even took the time to pour out the tea that was boiled when he just entered the door, one cup for the superior and one for himself.

There is another reason for not taking action. His imperial weapon is rather troublesome. Once it is contaminated with fire, it cannot be extinguished and is not suitable for use in a conference room.

Connor: ...I have collected three imperial tools, and the entire hunter group is only missing you. You tell me you don't want to fight anymore?

"Okay, that's the end of the test."

Esdeath heard Porus' proposal through the wall, kicked open the door of the conference room, and announced loudly that the Hunter's team admission assessment was over.

Esdeath patted Connor on the shoulder. Experience and advice sounded very interesting.

"Are you shocked by the greeting just now? I think the usual welcome is too boring, so I decided to let Xiaoying give you something special."

Esdeath tapped her legs and sat down, signaling that everyone could really relax.

"I'm used to rough things..." Will, who was knocked to his knees by a liver-blasting punch, showed his natural ability to withstand blows. After just a few fights with others, he was able to move normally again.

"I should rather say thank you for your guidance, sir." Selyu dug herself out of the floor. Now she understood why she was nearly hacked to death by the three night raiders while carrying her imperial weapon, and why Connor was able to run away with her.

"Xiaoying, please continue. After the audience with the emperor, there will be a party."

"No matter what happens, we have to be careful and take good care of ourselves. The enemy may appear anywhere and may even appear among you, disguised as your boss or your boss's boss. Also, do not let anger control your actions."

Connor waited until several Imperial Equipment Users who were kicked to the ground had recovered and were able to sit steadily before he started talking. With the relatively slowing effect of the [Sixth Sense] and the 80% physical reduction from the blow from Esdeath yesterday, these Imperial Equipment Users who couldn't use Imperial Equipment were much easier for him to beat than Brand.

Putting the teacup on the table, Connor tapped the table near Lan twice. Pointing at Seryu with his other hand, Connor said, "We must grasp the key issues. Our opponents are a group of scorpions and poisonous snakes. Even if there is only a second of gap, they will take advantage of it, wrap around your neck and give you a fatal blow."

What are you referring to me for? Oh! You mean the night raid, right?! Confused, Celius shook his head and then nodded, saying that Connor was indeed worthy of being a general, and his summary was really accurate. Those killers who raided at night were just like poisonous snakes, didn't they see that their limbs had been replaced with new ones!

Lan, who was sitting on Connor's left, seemed to be thinking about something. He marked Celia's name in his mind.

Based on the previous private communication, Lan's trust in Connor has been established on the premise of "helping him to avenge his students". Regardless of whether it is a hint or not, Lan feels that it should be paid special attention to.

"They don't care about right or wrong. They are very ambitious. In my opinion, if we don't take action now, there will be nothing in this world that can stop their ambitions!"

……

The audience with the emperor was very sloppy. The young emperor was still in shock from the explosion, and Minister Ernest was still recovering from his injuries. The young emperor simply gave a few words of encouragement, and then issued the first task to the Hunter, to thoroughly investigate the palace.

Being able to accurately grasp the time and movement of the emperor's carriage, there must be a traitor in the palace. The emperor wanted to ask the imperial guards to investigate, but the imperial guards were not clean in this attack. At least the task was handed over to the newly established "Hunters" with independent action rights. It happened that Esdeath was very accomplished in torture, and the young emperor trusted General Esdeath as much as he trusted General Bud.

Moreover, there is another advantage of [Hunters], that is, each of them has no connection with the powerful people in the imperial capital, which makes the little emperor feel more at ease.

At the dinner after the audience with the emperor, the seafood brought by Will was served on the table. The masked man Porus showed everyone his ability to control the heat and cooked a pot of fish soup on the spot.

Esdeath also showed some of her real skills. She used a thin blade made of ice to cut a lot of sashimi and stuck them on the ice sculpture made of the imperial weapon. She also called Connor and Pollux together and asked them about their so-called "experience" for a long time without any hesitation.

"Teacher Lan..." Connor found an opportunity to stand next to Lan.

"Since the safety of the imperial capital is entrusted to us, how about flying a few laps in the sky?"

"The explosion happened in the Noble District. Maybe... there are some clues in the Noble District."

63. Hunter? Hound?

Are there any clues in the noble district?

The man who sexually assaulted students and massacred an entire school was in the imperial capital? And in the aristocratic district?

Lan suddenly exerted force on the hand that was holding the wine glass. When Connor added the suffix "teacher" to his address, Lan realized that the two of them had entered the agreed-upon secret language band.

Connor nodded. The person who had an enemy with Lan had recently returned to the imperial capital.

They were a vicious group headed by Minister Ernest's son Sheila, who collected criminals and thieves from all over the world. They called themselves the Wild Hounds and took pleasure in wantonly and cruelly torturing and killing ordinary citizens and raping and harming decent girls.

Because of Sheila's strong reputation, no one in the Imperial Capital Guard dared to point out the cancer of [Wild Hound]. At the same time, because Sheila possessed the imperial weapon [Dimensional Array Shangri-La], which could instantly move the target to the predetermined marked position, and was always traveling outside the empire, the Imperial Capital Guard had to turn a blind eye if they did not want to offend ministers and dignitaries.

While the minister was in bed recuperating, without the suppression above their heads, these cancerous creatures would inevitably come out to seek pleasure just like the soldiers of the Imperial Capital Guard.

"Okay, originally I was responsible for clerical work in Hunter, so it is also my responsibility to plan the inspection route in advance." Lan said after taking a sip of wine.

The next day, the Hunters, a secret police force, was officially added to the Empire's ranks.

"What do you call them? Hunters? Hahaha, aren't they just a bunch of country bumpkins? And they want to ride on my head and pee and shit on me?"

In Minister Ernest's mansion, a young man with long silver ponytail hair, deep cross scars on his face, and wearing a super short tight white top and tight pants said jokingly.

One is called "Hunter" and the other is called "Wild Hound". If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't beat Esdeath, I'm afraid Sheila would have protested long ago.

"Only people are the most fun toys, so let us play with them? Oh, by the way, just be careful not to provoke Esdeath." Although Sheila is a pervert, she also knows who is not to be messed with.

His own old man is one, General Bud is one, and Esdeath is one. They are all people that Sheila doesn't want to offend now.

There is no need to say much about the generals of the two little powers of the empire. Even Sheila's father, Ernest, is a master from the Royal Fist Temple. His wide robes are full of muscles.

Traveling around the world with his imperial weapons, he learned the strengths and weaknesses of martial arts from different countries, recruited criminals and masters from all over the world, and collected imperial weapons scattered outside the empire. Sheela felt that the wild hound he had put together was the most suitable "secret police" for the chaos in the imperial capital.

"Got it, His Highness Xila." The middle-aged swordsman in front of Xila, Yi Zang, just gently wiped his sword, which was a famous sword that needed a blood sacrifice. For this reason, Yi Zang thought that following Xila was the best thing to do, whether it was to help Xila clean up the mess or to deal with people who were hostile to Xila, he could make his famous sword drink enough.

"I heard there's a fashion doctor in Hunter," said the blonde girl with short blond hair who was sitting on a table with her feet not reaching the ground. "It's been a long time since I met the doctor~"

Dotya, who looks like a child but is actually an alchemist who is different from ordinary people due to scientific experiments, licked his fangs and said, "I really want to taste their blood~ It would be even better if Cosmia is willing to let me taste it~"

Cosmia, who was mentioned by the alchemist, took a few steps away in disdain. She didn't care that her bunny girl costume fell off a little bit. "Old woman, the blood of the witch singer is not so delicious. Don't break your teeth."

Imperial weapon users are usually a group of thorns with distinct personalities, and those who are as docile as Borus are often a minority. The singing girl is not a serious person either, she likes to use her singing to seduce men and toy with them to death.

Sheila didn't care about the conflicts within the team. After all, these people... were just toys when they were not needed.

There is also a swordsman dressed as a pirate and a tall fat man dressed as a clown.

"Whether it's a Hunter or something else, the men go to the Alchemist and the Songstress, and the women will be chosen by Boss Sheila first. The rest will go to me, and the children will be given to the clown. Anyway, the clown always makes children happy." The pirate swordsman had a long tongue, which would occasionally stick out inadvertently when he spoke.

The spoils were distributed in a few words. Those who were able to gather under Sheila and join the "Wild Hounds" usually had no interest in money and only wanted to kill, not make money.

"Ah," the fat clown put on a melancholy face and said earnestly, "the angelic children will eventually grow up to be dirty adults. I have no choice but to kill them all."

There were six people including the Wild Hounds, Sheila calculated. All of them except Izo were imperial weapon users, and Izo's famous sword was not inferior to the imperial weapons, so it was enough to deal with the hunters who came together.

In addition, there is also [Night Raid].

Shila has not forgotten the bombing that put his father in bed. After the revolutionary army claimed responsibility for the incident, he also thought about the night attack.

"There are quite a few pretty girls on the wanted poster. It would be great if they could behave themselves like the Hunter."

Sheila thrust the dagger right into the newly released wanted poster of Marin.

"Xi'er, Myne, Leone... well, I think their boss Nadezhda is still charming!"

Xila stood up: "Okay guys, cheer up, the imperial capital is full of our toys!"

"Today I feel like someone is watching me and I feel uncomfortable all over. Let's go out and have some fun." Silla called out, and the other five thieves filed out and followed Silla out of the minister's mansion.

At the commanding height of the palace, Connor was holding onto the spire, and beside him was Lan, who occasionally flapped his wings.

When he came out in the morning, Connor told Esdeath that he would use Eagle Vision. He scanned the palace unscrupulously and stared at the vicinity of the minister's residence with Lan who had a telescope.

As the head of the secret police force with independent authority, Connor asked for a list of all wanted criminals and high-risk individuals in the name of protecting the safety of the imperial capital, and had already reviewed it with Lan.

"Commander, what should we do next?" Lan's knuckles turned white from holding the telescope.

"What should we do? Arrange Selyu to be on their way and let Will go with her."

Connor simply said, "Siyuu, who hates evil and has his own code of conduct, wouldn't that come in handy?"

After the attack, the ministers hid in their homes like turtles and refused to come out, but they still did not lose control of the empire's power.

Connor is ready to provoke Minister Ernest again.

64. Behead! The Ten Kings’ Judgment

A few days later, Will and Seryu, still wearing blue "work clothes", were walking on the street. After Lan informed them of the inspection area, they had been patrolling here for several days, but they still had no results.

"Sieru...I have a question for you."

"Well, go ahead and ask. Do you want to ask yourself if you are unfashionable? I think you can go find Dr. Fashion~" When it does not involve fighting and "justice", Seleu can still suppress her perverted side, making Will feel that she is a girl with whom he can communicate normally.

"No, no, no, no..." Will refused hastily. He didn't want to get involved with that gay guy in anything other than equipment repairs, and human experiments...

Will glanced at Celia's limbs. It is said that if it were not for his boss, Connor, who snatched Celia back from the three imperial weapon user assassins, Celia would have died long ago.

The limbs that have reappeared on Selyu's body now were created by Dr. Fashion.

When Will expressed his curiosity, Dr. Fashion even planned to write down the styles Will liked and save them for later use.

"I just want to know how you are so energetic, Sailyu."

Will looked at the countless streets before him, and from the bottom of his heart he felt the confusion and powerlessness of a countryman facing the empire's largest city.

In the countryside and in the navy, Will might still be a top figure, but in the imperial capital, even though he is an imperial tool user, Will feels that he is too insignificant compared to the entire imperial capital.

Can he really do his job well in Hunter? If it weren't for Sailyu, he would probably get lost if he went out.

Maybe this is why my boss arranged for me to team up with Sailu, who is familiar with the imperial capital? Will thought to himself, it seems quite considerate.

"Energy?" Saiyu said while holding the puppy with his head tilted. "My parents were killed by bandits, and my teacher was killed by a night raider. How can I avenge them without energy?"

“There is still so much evil in the world that has not been judged. How can justice be achieved without vitality?”

Sailu asked two questions in a row and showed that twisted smile like an expression on his face again.

"I have to make sure I am full of energy every day so that I can bring evil to justice at any time and in any place!"

Will: Girl, let's talk nicely. Can you please stop making faces all the time?

Originally, he had some feelings for the two girls in "Hunter", Kuroneko and Sailu, but...

One can draw a sword for a bite of food, and if the other one makes a facial expression when they are in love, can they still kiss each other?

No way... Will realized belatedly, could it be that Dr. Fashion became a gay because he had seen too many perverts?

Will was in no mood to talk because of Sailyu. He just followed Sailyu and wandered around the designated inspection area. Just when he suspected that he would not gain anything today, Sailyu suddenly stood up straight.
