The atmosphere she gave off was very strange, and passers-by nearby showed expressions of disgust, as if they had seen a ghost, and they all avoided her.

Especially the cart she was pulling, which made people feel uneasy.

The cart was covered with a black cloth. No one knew what was inside, but judging from the outline of the object, everyone guessed that the black cloth was probably covering a person.

On the ground where the cart passed, there was a line formed by red dots.

The dark red color is obviously blood.

Seeing this scene, passers-by turned their heads to cover their mouths and whispered to the people around them.

The mysterious and strange woman was walking openly on the street. Although everyone felt a little guilty, they couldn't suppress their curiosity and gathered together.

Some were guessing who she was.

Some were guessing who was under the cloth.

Some are wondering if the person under the cloth is still alive, what she is going to do next, where she is going to go...

etc···

Seeing the crowd gathering, the woman in the scruffy cloak smiled smugly under her hood.

## Chapter 2: Fanatic (1 in 5 - K)

Criminal Law Department.

This is a branch of the Inquisition, mainly responsible for maintaining security within the royal capital, and bounty notices are also issued from here.

At the same time, it is also the headquarters and training camp of the guards.

"Bang------!"

A loud noise was heard from the captain's office. The patrolling guards passing by seemed to be used to it. They did not open the door to check, but sighed lightly and continued their patrol duties.

Inside the office.

A middle-aged man in fine armor sat in the vice seat, while a man in ordinary uniform sat in the main seat.

Sitting in the main seat is the owner of this office, the captain of the guard - Captain Wang.

Opposite him was the general guarding the royal capital - Konda.

"Do you know how much His Majesty despises me?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he got. He kept slapping the wooden table with his hands: "I am the general guarding the capital. The war is imminent, and Your Majesty actually let Hu Tianming from Maze Town to train my soldiers. Why!!!"

Kunda expressed great dissatisfaction with Emperor Sede's appointment, emphasizing the word "I".

He has worked hard for the empire for more than ten years just to win the favor of His Majesty.

however.

Faced with the impending war, His Majesty would rather invite the general from Maze Town from afar than use himself.

Being treated so coldly, Konda, the general guarding the royal capital, felt very unbalanced.

Captain Wang and Kangda are comrades from the same period and have a life-and-death friendship with each other.

Since the training camp and the guard headquarters are connected, Kunda has come here to complain more than once or twice.

Not to mention Captain Wang, even the patrolling guards have long been accustomed to it and are no longer surprised.

Sometimes he complained that the soldiers were disobedient, and sometimes he complained that the qualifications of this batch of soldiers were too poor.

Even if his salary was paid one day late, he would still come and talk to Captain Wang.

In general, no matter whether it is a big or small matter, he always has to come and take a bite.

Captain Wang and Kanda have been friends for twenty years, and he knows Kanda's temper very well.

He is the kind of person who can't help but express himself, so he just says it and then forgets it.

After that, do what you should do.

Hearing Kangda's complaints, Captain Wang sighed and shook his head, saying, "With your leaky mouth, it's good enough for you to be a general."

"What's the relationship between us? I just told you, I never told anyone else."

"Walls have ears, idiot." Captain Wang shook his head helplessly.

In terms of talent, Captain Wang admitted that he was not as good as Kanda. As a comrade-in-arms from the same period, Captain Wang was not surprised or jealous that he was appointed as a general by His Majesty.

Just put...

He was very confused about His Majesty's appointment.

Kanda's straightforward character and his talkative mouth made it impossible for him to keep things secret.

The empire is full of talented people, and Captain Wang doesn't quite understand why His Majesty would appoint him as a general.

"You know what? Hu Tianming skipped practice today. Guess where she went?"

Obviously, Kunta didn't take the words "walls have ears" seriously, and kept the same voice and said, "She actually went out to drink!"

Hearing what Kangda said, Captain Wang was a little surprised: "Drinking in broad daylight?"

"That's right! Just tell me, how am I inferior to her?"

From this point of view alone, Kanda, who is good at performing his duties, is indeed better. At least he has not violated any rules or regulations for so many years.

But ah.

Since it was His Majesty's decision, Captain Wang was too lazy to guess.

As the captain of the guards, his duties were different from those of a general who trained the army, and he needed to communicate with his subordinates and criminals frequently.

After a long time, he understood a truth.

There will be information gaps between people.

When facing the same thing, if the information of both parties is unequal or missing, disagreements will arise.

When a person does something you don't understand, the first thing you should do is not to guess whether he is an idiot or not, but to think about whether there is an information gap between them.

"You know it yourself, right?"

Captain Wang took a sip of tea and said, "You are far inferior to General Hu in terms of both military achievements and strength."

Hearing this, Kunda was speechless for a moment, and said somewhat reluctantly: "That's what I said, but Your Majesty is too disrespectful to me!"

Just now he was saying in a strong voice that he was not as good as Hu Tianming, but once he was compared with them, Kangda became dispirited.

In fact, Kangda had competed with Hu Tianming just two days ago.

Unexpectedly, she knocked him down with just one punch.

Ranked by strength, Kangda is below the top ten, while Hu Tianming's strength is enough to rival the top ten and is about to reach the peak.

The difference is not a little bit.

"This war may not be easy. The kingdom has been in turmoil recently."

Captain Wang placed a wanted poster on the table, tapped the portrait with his fingers, and said seriously: "Now the prices in the capital are soaring, and related disputes are rising sharply. The merchants killed by this man were all conscientious merchants who insisted on the original price."

"So, what does this have to do with the war?" Kunda looked at the wanted poster, very puzzled.

"It is obvious that someone is deliberately raising prices when war is about to break out."

Captain Wang paused for a moment and whispered, "This war is not as simple as it seems. There must be some force behind it."

"A certain force..."

Kunda's expression became serious. After thinking for a moment, he said, "As long as we catch the person on the wanted list and interrogate him, we will know, right?"

"The problem is I don't know where to catch them."

Captain Wang took out another stack of documents, which contained information about the crime scene.

"This man was very professional. He didn't leave any clues at the scene. If he didn't have a criminal record, there wouldn't even be a portrait."

"hiss···"

What Konda hates most is reading documents. Just listening to Captain Wang's description, he finds it very tricky.

"In short, this war is quite complicated. Just treat it as a vacation."

"Well···"

Kangda has a good intuition and is good at fighting. However, if he encounters someone who is scheming and plotting, Kangda still has to listen to the opinions of his deputy general and military advisor.

"Hey!"

Kunda sighed helplessly, glanced at the wanted poster, and said, "I'm free anyway, I'll go find him."

"Well... whatever you like."

Captain Wang knew that Kanda was a man who could not sit still. If he was really caught, it would be a good achievement.

"Bang, bang!"

Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Report! We have received a report that someone is causing trouble in Xiaoyue City. The guards there want you to lead the team in person."

Afterwards, the guards reported to Captain Wang what happened in Xiaoyue City.

"Is it Dique from the Dihao Club?"

Hearing this name, Captain Wang frowned.

"BOOM------!"

Just as he was about to say something else, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.

The first one to react was Kangda. A bead of sweat slid down his cheeks and he said in shock: "What a strong aura, it came from Xiaoyue City!"

"Can the sound reach here?"

Captain Wang, who was originally planning to ask more questions, realized that the situation could not be delayed any longer and immediately gave the order:

"Call 200 guards! Meet at the gate!"

"I'm coming too!"

Kangda was a strong man in the imperial domain, so Captain Wang did not refuse. After putting the documents away, they hurried out of the office.

However···

When they arrived at the entrance of the Criminal Law Department, a large group of people were walking towards them, and there was a strange-looking woman in front of them.

Seeing the scene before them, Captain Wang and Kanda instinctively prepared for the battle.

After a while.

A strange woman in a tattered cloak came up to the two men, and at the same time, 200 guards also arrived at the gate.

The strange woman exuded an aura, which made Captain Wang and Kanda frown and their expressions became serious.

Captain Wang just winked at the guards, and the guards understood and surrounded the strange woman in a well-trained manner.

"What are you..."

Just as Captain Wang opened his mouth to ask, the strange woman waved her hand and threw the cart roughly in front of the two men.

"Hey, I heard this thing is worth 100 gold coins..."

The strange woman's voice was a little hoarse, and her tone was breathless, which made people sound very uncomfortable.

Speaking of 100 gold coins, the two people who had just seen the bounty order could naturally guess who it was. They looked at each other in disbelief.

Not only were they shocked, but the onlookers also had the same expression, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.

Wanted posters for assassins are posted everywhere, and everyone has seen them.

Moreover, his reward was initially 20 gold coins. As the number of victims increased and the circumstances became more serious, it was increased to 100 gold coins.

Everyone knows that a prisoner who is so valued by the Criminal Law Department must be very powerful.

"Is it true? The assassin who had the Criminal Law Department completely clueless was actually caught!?"

"But..." The man swallowed, "She looks strong and strange, does she have any special skills?"

"No way? I think she is a lunatic, probably a fanatic from somewhere."

"Don't jump to conclusions yet. Whether that person is an assassin is another matter."
