Their commission was suspicious.

It's not that they can't see it, but that someone doesn't want others to notice Abby.

"Sigh, your brother doesn't want us anymore." The Herrscher of Knowledge jumped down from above and sat in Chen Luo's original seat, patting Abby's head as he spoke.

"Ah, my brother doesn't want me anymore?" Abby was a little flustered when she came to her senses.

The one who understands the laws also saw a glimmer of colorful light flashing through the hole in Abby's forehead.

"Ahem, just kidding, I was just kidding. Don't worry. Look, your brother's back, isn't he?" Realizing her joke had almost caused a [bad] impact, the Herrscher of Knowledge quickly said.

Abi turned her head and, following the direction of the Herrscher of Knowledge's finger, saw Chen Luo returning to the training ground, and Esdeath following behind him with a helpless expression.

Esdeath had originally planned to carry her younger brother away, but she never expected that her brother would have to go back again for the sake of a little girl.

They couldn't stop them no matter what.

Just as Esdeath was pondering how many ice cubes to use and what shape to create to avoid being flattened, she looked up and froze in place.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the dragon of the East Sea did not fall from the sky and crush everything beneath it.

The East Sea Dragon did indeed lose consciousness, and its body was indeed in free fall at first. However, not long after it fell, a large hand made of black feathers emerged from the swirling clouds in the sky, grabbed the East Sea Dragon, and forcibly dragged it into the clouds.

"This angel seems pretty powerful." Chen Luo led Abi by the hand to Esdeath's vicinity, then took out some paper to wipe the seat and found a clean spot for Abi to sit down.

"Who is he? You seem quite concerned about her," Esdeath asked after glancing at Abigail.

“Abigail, or you can call her Abigail, is now my adopted sister,” Chen Luo introduced.

To be precise, she's called a temporary trial version of the younger sister.

“It doesn’t seem to be over yet. At least the angels haven’t disappeared.” Esdeath looked up at the angel Suigintou, who stood alone in the air.

Esdeath has little interest in Abigail; she is more interested in strong individuals.

Like that angel in heaven right now.

"Snap!" Mercury Lantern, hovering in mid-air with its jet-black wings flapping, snapped its fingers again. The once dark sky returned to its bright state, and sunlight shone on the earth, warming everyone's hearts and minds, giving them a sense of happiness as if they had survived a catastrophe.

But the next moment, everyone's hearts sank into an ice cave.

"I am the Angel of Judgment. The blood moon hangs in the sky, manipulating the dragon of the East Sea with the power of bewitching hearts, to cleanse the empire of a thousand years of sins. The empire has become corrupt, and the once prosperous capital has been reduced to a hell where demons and monsters roam. Faith has been tarnished, and divine power is no more."

"The Dragon of the East Sea, wielding the might of the Blood Moon, cleanses the capital. But the mercy of the gods is beyond your comprehension. The gods are willing to give you another chance, allowing you to cleanse this hell on earth, the capital, once again within a month. If, after a month, demons and monsters still run rampant, the gods will unleash divine punishment, thoroughly purging the entire empire."

"Death may be spared, but punishment is inevitable. Although the entire capital city has been spared, those who wreaked havoc on the world will still be judged. Black Feather has descended, and those who wear black feathers are the most heinous criminals."

The cold, metallic sound of the mercury lamp rang out; though not loud, it reached the ears of every citizen of the capital.

Everyone understood what the mercury lamp meant.

In human terms: The sky instantly turned to night, and a blood moon and the dragon of the East Sea appeared, all to kill you bastards. But God is merciful, so he is willing to give you another chance.

I'll give you another month. If you still don't change, then your entire country is doomed!

But don't think you bad guys can hide. Black feathers will fall from the sky soon, and those with feathers on their bodies are the bad guys.

Under the influence of the Herrscher of Knowledge's abilities, ordinary people who already strongly accepted Suigintou's angelic identity were even less likely to question the current situation.

The night sky returned to daylight, the blood-red moon disappeared, and the sun shone brightly on the earth. However, the swirling clouds in the sky did not disappear, and the gale still surged within the swirling clouds.

The Dragon of the East Sea has disappeared, and everyone suspects that it is now above the clouds.

The clouds were simply filled with countless black feathers, making them appear dark and oppressive.

As soon as Mercury Lamp finished speaking, the clouds in the sky suddenly burst open, and countless black feathers, carried by the wind, spread throughout the entire capital.

After the clouds burst open, the East Sea Dragon, who had lost consciousness and was being held by a large black-feathered hand, was revealed above the clouds.

On one side, countless black feathers were falling, and on the other side, the image that could be seen in the eyes of the angel Mercury Lamp continued to take effect, leaving everyone in the capital unsure of what to focus on now.

Mercury Lamp slowly flew to the East Sea Dragon, and its black wings instantly expanded into huge feathers. After slapping the East Sea Dragon twice, the East Sea Dragon slowly woke up.

The Dragon of the East Sea stared dumbfounded at the ant in front of him who had slapped him twice.

Well, it can't be called an ant, but that little guy's sword really hurts.

The blood moon, condensed from Chen Luo's immense magical power, was specifically designed to target the Dragon of the East Sea, allowing him to maintain his rationality while simultaneously killing everyone tainted by the blood moon's aura.

Now that the blood has disappeared and reason has returned, the Dragon of the East Sea is also puzzled as to why he suddenly went mad.

After realizing that the little winged creature in front of him was probably the guardian of the city, the Dragon of the East Sea felt a little guilty.

It was indeed I who started the sabotage, and I couldn't even defeat the other party.

The latter is the biggest reason why the East China Sea Dragon is feeling insecure right now.

The image of the angel created by the Herrscher of Knowledge allows everyone to see the divine power of the angel and witness the scene, but it cannot transmit sound.

Aside from the message specifically intended for everyone in the capital, other messages were inaudible.

No one knew what the angel and the dragon said, but in the end, the dragon seemed to slink away in disgrace.

The look in the eyes of the angel of judgment as it turned its head was as if it were looking at everyone in the entire capital. Everyone felt as if the angel had seen into the darkest corner of their hearts, sending a chill down their spines.

This concludes the angel imagery.

Aside from Esdeath and the others in the training grounds, which are closest to the Mercury Lamp in a straight line below, who can vaguely see a black dot, those further away, without the aid of any tools, have already lost sight of the angel.

After a short while, the black dot in the sky disappeared.

With that matter settled, everyone's attention then shifted to the black feathers falling from the sky.

The black feathers that mark sinners—this is what the angel of judgment said.

Zooming in to the capital city, countless black feathers fall from the sky, covering the entire capital.

The feathers are falling slowly, so they haven't touched the ground yet.

Meanwhile, in the capital city on the ground, the vast majority of the city was already in a sorry state.

Smashed carriages, broken windows, shattered shops, chaotic crowds...

Although the majority of the crowd was injured, the chaotic scene was still unbearable to look at.

In some places, there are huge, deep craters left by lightning strikes.

The lightning that had just emerged from the blood-red clouds did indeed slowly spread across the entire map. Although it did not ultimately envelop the entire capital, it did encompass a large area extending outwards from the training ground.

These lightning strikes ultimately caused considerable ground damage, but none resulted in fatalities.

As the black feathers fall from the sky, the bad guys fear them like the plague, while the good guys hope that these feathers can actually play a role.

Everyone who lives in the capital knows one thing: the capital really needs to evolve.

No one could do it before, but now it is the judgment of the angels.

"Why did we come back?" Tatsumi asked, turning his head as he clung to the wall of the training ground.

"Of course, it's to check on Esdeath's condition," Lubbock said matter-of-factly.

"But why are you clinging to the wall?" Tatsumi looked down at his dangling feet.

The walls of the training ground are very, very high, because the seats inside rise from low to high from the inside out, so the edges are really high.

Fortunately, Lubbock possessed the ability to control the silk threads, which gave the group a small foothold. Coupled with his extraordinary arm strength, they were able to lie on the edge of the wall and watch what was happening inside.

“Although Esdeath isn’t sure yet, she just mentioned the word ‘night raid,’ right? Do you think you can beat Esdeath? Aren’t you afraid Esdeath will kill you?” Lubbock rolled his eyes at Tatsumi.

"But Esdeath is almost exhausted, isn't she?" Tatsumi muttered under his breath.

“You’d be in a tough spot to beat her. And don’t forget Lolo’s right next to him. Do you think you can beat Lolo?” Lubbock said.

"Although Lolo hasn't shown any special fighting power, I always feel that all of us combined wouldn't be enough for Lolo to fight with one hand," Sayo whispered.

And you also need to keep an eye on Chen Luo's Gensokyo support group.

"And aren't you curious about what the angel said earlier? Since the angel said that these feathers are used to mark sinners, will Esdeath be marked by the feathers?" Leone said.

“I think so?” Iyeas muttered.

"Isn't the Revolutionary Army supposed to be a force developed for the happiness of the people? Then Esdeath, who is preventing the Revolutionary Army from serving the corrupt empire, must also be a bad person, right?"

“Although it might be a bit demoralizing to say this, it’s not certain whether these feathers will mark Esdeath,” Lubbock suddenly said.

"Although Esdeath is described by the boss as a witch who spreads war and is an existence that cannot be tolerated in peacetime, it just so happens that the Imperial Capital has been in a state of war for a long time. Foreign wars are the foundation for ensuring the stability of the country."

"Although Esdeath maintained border stability and quelled the rebellion to satisfy her own desire for war, this also indirectly saved many people, and Esdeath did indeed have a legitimate reason to fight."

Their enemy is my hero.

What is poison to one is honey to another.

To the northern barbarians, Esdeath, though a demon, was seen as a hero by the people of the Empire.

Although Esdeath held the concept of the survival of the fittest in her heart, she was very kind to her subordinates and ordinary people.

She always distributed the rewards bestowed by the emperor to her subordinates and ate with ordinary soldiers, resulting in extremely high morale in the army she led.

Esdeath gets along well with the shopkeepers on the street, never accepts bribes, and has many fans in the Empire.

Amidst the expectant and apprehensive gazes of the Night Raid participants, the black feathers covering the entire capital slowly descended to the ground.

Chapter 968 The list of sinners in the capital is released, and Sheila is on her way...

"Speaking of which, that angel looks kind of familiar." Sayo, who was leaning against the wall of the training ground watching the black feathers fall from the sky, had a feeling that she'd seen that angel somewhere before.

Sayo had been to the bar, and at that time she did see Suigintou, who was holding Chen Luo tightly and had come to this world with him.

Now, Sayo can't find any trace of Suigintou in her memory, only that she looks somewhat familiar. She still has to thank the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The power of the Law Enforcer is truly useful!

The others simply hadn't seen Suigintou's true form. They were influenced by Chen Luo's abilities from beginning to end and didn't see Suigintou sitting on Chen Luo's shoulders.

"It might just be my imagination. Okay, stop talking, that feather is about to fall off," Lubbock quickly reminded him.

……

"Are these black feathers really as magical as that angel said?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Mark the villains? How do you mark villains? Do these feathers just land precisely on the heads of bad guys?"

"God, punish the sinners who have made the capital so corrupt!" A woman with obvious scars on her arm, lying on the ground in the chaotic street, prayed as she looked at the black feathers falling from the sky.

The people of the capital city have a mixed feeling of doubt and anticipation towards the feathers floating in the sky.

Not everyone in the capital is bad; it's more accurate to say that at least half of the ten people killed by a brick were evil. But you can't say they're all evil!

Petty theft is one thing, but it doesn't qualify as criminal behavior.

Or perhaps it's better to let the police teach these people a lesson; there's no need to waste resources.

Oh, wait, there aren't many good people in the security force either. Oh well, never mind.

"boom!"

"What are you yelling about, you filthy woman? Who do you want to be punished? Are you cursing me?" A vicious man said angrily, kicking the woman who had collapsed to the ground.

"woo"

Women who are subjected to violence can only curl up to reduce the area of ​​their injuries and protect their vulnerable parts.

"I told you not to talk nonsense!" But after kicking the other party once, the burly man didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. He kicked the chair next to him to pieces, picked up a stool leg, and was about to hit the woman lying on the ground hard.

Those who understand the law can indeed suppress their criminal nature and reduce their criminal desires, but even if some people reduce 90% of their dark psychology, they can still be considered sinners.

The woman closed her eyes, covered her head, and prayed to the gods.

"Whoosh!"

Just as the man was about to commit his atrocity, and the people around him turned a blind eye, four of the black feathers that were about to fall to the ground suddenly accelerated and pierced through the man's body before the stick could hit the woman.

"Ah!!!" the man screamed, and the stick in his hand slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground with a clatter.

And this seemed to be just the beginning, followed by countless screams that rose and fell.

The trembling woman, after not feeling any harm for a long time, cautiously opened her eyes.

The imagined scene of a burly man grinning at him, waiting for him to open his eyes, never materialized.

The man who had just been punching and kicking him was now clutching his chest, looking pained.

The woman looked closely and saw that the man was now clutching his chest, and through his palm, she could clearly see four feathers stuck in his chest.
