Their commission was suspicious.

No, I just want you to shut up.

The Judah Oath is great in every way, except for its rather peculiar hobbies.

Although Chen Luo didn't answer, Judah's Oath took the initiative to use the gun chain floating beside him to tie a knot that Chen Luo found difficult to untie.

Then Chen Luo watched as the Oath of Judah handed him the only unused chain.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

After taking the chain, Chen Luo turned and walked away, holding onto it.

Caught off guard, the Oath of Judah behind Chen Luo was suddenly pulled forward by Chen Luo.

In fact, to others, this situation looks just like a soldier leading a chained prisoner who is about to be sent to prison, and there is nothing strange about it at all.

After all, chains are not like ropes.

But Judah himself seemed to be enjoying the oath.

Although Chen Luo felt that he was becoming strange following the Judah Oath, he accepted it because it could directly stop the Judah Oath from making suggestive remarks and he could also get 100 Primogems.

"Your Highness, where are we going now?" asked Judah Oath, who was bound by chains and being dragged forward by Chen Luo.

"Let's find a comic book store," Chen Luo said.

"Ok?"

Running off to another world to read comics? I don't quite understand the Judah Oath.

Chen Luo didn't offer any further explanation, but instead had another entry pop up on the group network, directly targeting the Judah Oath.

Lubbock is a key member of Night Raid, an assassination unit under the Revolutionary Army. He wields the Imperial Arm "Thousand Transformations: Cross Tail".

After joining the Revolutionary Army, he opened a book rental store in the Imperial Capital, which served as a base for the Revolutionary Army and Night Raid members to stay and infiltrate the capital.

Although Chen Luo assigned many tasks to Loli Hassan, he was not incapable of taking action himself.

Chen Luo was merely using the Crimson King's... plot skipping ability, but this skipping was more of a mental skipping, during which Chen Luo was also free to do what he wanted.

Therefore, Chen Luo handed over the troublesome task to Hassan, leaving the people and things in the capital that he was interested in to himself.

Chen Luo was interested in quite a few Imperial Arms, such as Lubbock's thread-type Imperial Arm and the biological Imperial Arm (Puppet) - Demonic Beast Transformation (Little Bee) Hundred-Armed Giant.

Chapter 866 Liu Wenxuan: How could I, a blacksmith, lose to a weapon in forging?

What does it feel like to experience a plot jump?

I didn't feel anything.

This is how Chen Luo feels right now.

Using a time clock to jump through time only results in a rapid mental leap, but physical exhaustion still has to be endured.

When using the lunar clock, a countdown similar to a clock will appear in Chen Luo's consciousness space, and Chen Luo needs to manually turn the clock face.

Jumping for one day is like going around once, jumping for two days is like going around twice.

Once confirmed, the clock hand will complete one revolution in about a second, which means that a day has passed outside.

It may seem like self-deception, but at least psychologically it will allow Chen Luo to see the Herrscher of Knowledge and other people he wants to see sooner.

After all, it is really tough to stay away from a bar for a whole day after it closes.

"Sigh, it really didn't increase the amount of raw stones at all. Oh well, it's good that it didn't deduct any raw stones." Chen Luo sighed after glancing at his raw stone panel.

While talking about Chen Luo, he received his cultivation reward.

Hmm, a reward for cultivation.

This is another advantage of plot jumps.

That is, during the time the plot jumps, Chen Luo still cultivates step by step, so after skipping a day, Chen Luo can naturally gain cultivation progress.

However, this cultivation progress is automatically added to Chen Luo's body; what Chen Luo is currently receiving is actually a skill proficiency reward.

For example, after reviewing his memories, Chen Luo discovered that he and Judah had learned master-level culinary skills through their oath. Although he is still far from becoming a master chef, his progress has indeed increased.

Physical attributes will increase automatically, but proficiency attributes need to be acquired by Chen Luo himself.

This is also why Chen Luo did not use the independent jump mode.

Since Chen Luo can choose to make his time-jumped self act according to his original will and react reasonably, he can also make his time-jumped self independent, directly in the time rift, waiting for the time jump to pass.

The advantage of the latter is that because he is in a time gap, Chen Luo cannot be harmed during the time jump, which means he is invincible during that time.

The bad news is that because Chen Luo's perceived time is the same as the actual time, only a few seconds have passed, he cannot receive the proficiency and corresponding cultivation progress.

The Moon Clock's function is somewhat similar to that of Crimson King, but not exactly the same.

It's more like the Crimson King's abilities were split in two, with one half given to the story-skipping mode and the other half to the independent skipping mode.

In fact, situations like the Akame ga Kill! world, where the jump time is only one day, are more suitable for the independent jump mode, which is to simply "delete" that day.

After all, you can't increase your proficiency much in a day, and you might even get attacked.

However, the world of Akame ga Kill! poses almost no danger to Chen Luo.

In addition, Chen Luo did want to observe certain people in this imperial capital world, so he did not use it.

"Help! Someone's snatching my bag! You young man up there, stop them for me!" A frantic voice rang out, attracting Chen Luo's attention.

A blonde woman was seen chasing a fleeing young man who was carrying a bag.

Unfortunately, although the woman's anxious voice carried far and wide, not a single passerby had the intention to help.

In the capital city, it's already difficult enough to protect oneself, let alone have many people willing to help others.

Most of these people have already died on the road of chivalry and justice.

Just like helping an elderly person in real life, it's a fatal issue.

Kicking the thief or helping the elderly person up are both simple acts of kindness, and I believe many people would be willing to do them. After all, there are gods watching over us.

But the problem lies in what happens after you stop the thief and help the elderly person up...

Upon seeing this, Judah's Oath was about to intervene to stop the thief who had snatched the other person's bag, but Chen Luo grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him back.

And so, Judah Oath watched helplessly as the thief walked past him.

"Your Highness..." Judah's Oath looked at Chen Luo with some confusion.

After a day of contact, Judah's Oath also learned that Chen Luo was a busybody, and at least in matters like this, Chen Luo would definitely not mind giving the other party a punch.

Although Chen Luo cannot actively use teleportation anchors outside this world in the story skip mode, otherwise the time jump will end prematurely, he also cannot use a large number of Primal Stones, otherwise the time jump will also end prematurely.

However, Chen Luo in the story skip mode is indeed Chen Luo, and the Judah Oath's understanding of Chen Luo for one day is also correct.

"However, the other party doesn't need your help at all," Chen Luo explained.

Chen Luo stood quietly to the side and watched as Leone, after realizing that Chen Luo and Judah's Oath did not stop her, suddenly increased her speed in chasing the thief. In just a few seconds, she caught up with the thief and kicked him in the lower back.

"Hey, you two, when a thief walks past you, can't you help him out? The world is going to the dogs, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be." After snatching the bag back, Leona dislocated the thief's bones and let him go, then turned and walked towards Chen Luo and Judah's Oath.

You can't catch all the thieves. Even if they're handed over to the police, they'll be released soon enough.

When Judah Oath heard this, he lowered his head slightly.

The Judah Oath is a little bit embarrassing.

"Who knows whether he snatched your bag and you chased after him, or you were planning to chase after him and snatch his bag? We can't jump to conclusions before we understand the situation." Chen Luo, on the other hand, was already prepared for a debate when the other party approached.

"Huh? How could a delicate girl like me possibly steal someone's bag? Your thought process is a bit peculiar, isn't it?" Leone looked at Chen Luo in disbelief.

“But that’s the truth. Nothing is impossible in this capital, isn’t it? And those who meddle in other people’s business here don’t live long,” Chen Luo said.

"Ha, ha..." Just then, a middle-aged woman dressed as a street vendor ran up to Chen Luo and the others, stopping panting heavily.

"Here, don't let anyone snatch it from you again." Leone handed the bag back to the middle-aged woman after she ran up to him.

“Thank you, Leone,” the middle-aged woman said.

“It’s alright, we’re all neighbors, it’s normal to help each other out. Seriously, is that thief out of his mind? How could he come to the slums to steal things?” Leone’s tone was full of disbelief.

After the middle-aged woman left, Leone stood with her hands on her hips, head held high, looking at Chen Luo as if she were standing on a moral high ground.

"What else do you two have to say now?" Leone looked at Chen Luo and Judah's Oath with a smug expression.

"It's hard to say, we just felt that as Teigu users, catching up with an ordinary person shouldn't be a problem. Also... don't think that just because we saved a Revolutionary Army soldier being executed, we're some kind of good people. You little peeping kitten." Chen Luo remained calm.

But these words caused Leone, who had been standing before Chen Luo and the Oath of Judah with a smug and imposing smile, to freeze instantly, and her pupils contracted slightly.

"Haha... What are you talking about? What Teigu user? What kitten? I don't understand what you're saying." Leone changed the subject somewhat awkwardly.

"Don't understand? Then don't understand. We'll meet again. I hope you won't be so surprised next time." Chen Luo smiled indifferently and walked away, carrying the Oath of Judah.

Leona stood there watching Chen Luo walk away without uttering any threats or intending to report her, a look of apprehension on her face.

Being discovered to be a Teigu user, and being identified as someone observing near the execution platform, was like something out of a horror movie for Leone, who possessed the Beast King Transformation, which enhanced all her senses.

Leona is able to walk openly on the streets of the capital because she is not yet wanted by the authorities.

Only four people were actually wanted during the night raid, and Leone was not among them.

If I were to become a wanted person, then there would be one less person to gather intelligence during night raids.

From another perspective, now that he has discovered his identity as a Teigu user and knows that he was near the execution platform at the time, wouldn't he make the connection that he is a member of the Revolutionary Army?

Leone's eyes were filled with worry.

But when Leone realized that he was just watching from near the execution platform, while the two of them were the ones who actually disrupted it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that if this happens, the ones who should be anxious and upset now are the two of them, not me.

Well, since he said we might meet again next time, let's try to invite them into the Revolutionary Army next time.

Or... how about we directly invite them to join Night Raid? The organization is short-handed right now.

As for now... let's go check out the conscription office in the capital.

Every day, the recruitment offices in the capital city receive a number of young people from the countryside who come to the capital seeking opportunities to make a name for themselves.

In that case, Leone, as a member of the Revolutionary Army, naturally wanted to let them experience the harsh realities of society, while trying his best to prevent them from joining the army.

After all, if they joined the army, they would be fighting against their own revolutionary army members.

"Your Highness, is the person we just saw the same one who was hiding behind the roof and spying?" Judah Oath asked.

“That’s right.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Then why was she able to recognize the two of us? Did His Highness's abilities fail?"

"No, it didn't fail; it's just that I didn't choose to influence him at all." Chen Luo shook his head.

"If those soldiers and ordinary people remember our appearance and image, it could lead to us both being wanted by the police. So the meeting changed their mindset. But letting Leone remember these things won't cause us any trouble; on the contrary, it will be beneficial."

Chen Luo still hasn't forgotten his mission: to help at least one of the three—Sayoo, Yeya, and Stazmi—join Night Raid.

Isn't Leone a great entry point?

"That's why she's less affected, but she's not unaffected," Chen Luo said.

"Then, Your Highness, what should we do now?" Judah's Oath asked.

"Wait, do you remember the woman we visited last night?" Chen Luo asked.

“I remember. Your Highness, you also seemed to have given him some gold coins that you had stolen from other sinners.” Judah’s Oath nodded.

"Have you finished watching Akame ga Kill!?"

"Yes, during the time I accompanied Your Highness on this mission, I managed to watch Akame ga Kill! on the group network," Judah Oath said.

"The person we visited yesterday was the one who commissioned Night Raid to kill Aria and the wealthy family. Although Night Raid is indeed an assassination unit under the Revolutionary Army, and eliminating certain criminals in the capital and collecting Imperial Arms is their duty, they also receive payment for their assassinations," Chen Luo said.

"Fate can be changed. The power of the Fate Thread can indeed influence fate. But if you want to change fate more easily, it's more convenient to do it yourself."

They need to be paid to carry out night raids and assassinations of wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials, after all, they are an assassin organization.

And it wouldn't be fair to make these assassins do such dangerous things without giving them some reward, right?

If the assassin organization raises enough funds and issues the mission in advance, the assassination will inevitably be carried out earlier.

In the original plan, Tatsumi was supposed to be found by Aria the day after the night raid. But if nothing unexpected happens, Tatsumi will be found by Aria today.

So, with the assassination time brought forward, it happens to be today. At least that's how the Fate Threads ability indicates.
