Start your journey from Kaiyi

The guard pulled Arya to the warehouse door.

At this time, Tatsumi appeared behind the two of them, panting.

"found it!"

"Tazmi?"

"We arrived just in time. We planned to flee to the warehouse and wait for the security team to arrive.

It's up to you to hold them off during this time!"

Tatsumi was shocked when he heard this.

"This is too much to ask..."

Before Tatsumi could finish his words, Akame instantly appeared behind him.

Seeing that the enemy had arrived and there was no way to retreat, Tatsumi had to draw his sword.

"In this case, we have no choice but to go up!"

Akame stepped forward quickly, and Tatsumi was ready to counterattack at any time.

But Akame suddenly said, "Not the target," which surprised Tatsumi.

By the time he reacted, Akame was already standing on Tatsumi's head, using his head as a stepping stone to get closer.

The guards fired wildly upon seeing this, but the extremely fast Akagi dodged all the shots and got close to him.

【Burial】

With one blow, the guard was cut in half, blood splattering everywhere.

Arya took two steps back in fear and accidentally fell to the ground.

Akagi walked up to her and slowly raised the demon sword in her hand.

"Bury..."

"stop!"

Just as he was about to chop her down, Tatsumi swung his sword to stop him, and Akame had no choice but to jump away to avoid it.

"You are not the target. There is no need to kill you."

"But you want to kill this girl?"

"Hmm~"

"You still [hmm]?"

In the warehouse, Long Xiaolin covered his mouth and tried not to laugh out loud.

"Whoever stands in my way will be killed."

"Even so, I can't run away!"

"I see. Then I have no choice but to bury you."

Seeing Akahime's serious expression, Tatsumi swallowed.

He had just witnessed Akagi's skills and thought it unlikely that he could beat her.

"Ah, it's so dirty..."

Leone now complained as he walked through the woods towards the warehouse.

“Ah, that guy Chi Tong is really rare!

Haven't you finished it yet?"

The perspective slowly shifted, and Tatsumi's figure entered Leone's sight.

"What, that's not... How unlucky is that boy..."

The situation was tense, with both sides looking at each other gloomily.

[At least I can't defeat her now, but I can't worry about that kind of thing.

After all, a guy who can't even save a girl can't save the village either! 】

After some mental encouragement from Tatsumi, he raised his sword and the two of them attacked at the same time.

Tatsumi's horizontal slash missed and Akame dodged by jumping into the air.

As he fell, he kicked Tatsumi in the back, exposing his weakness.

"Oops!"

The moment she turned around, Akame stabbed Tatsumi's heart with a knife.

Feeling the pain, the sword slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

However, the next second, Tatsumi stood up safely.

"You didn't approach me carelessly..."

"The feeling when the knife was cut didn't feel like it was hitting a human body."

As he said this, Tatsumi took out the amulet given to him by the village chief from his arms.

“It was the villagers who protected me.”

Leone couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw this scene.

[He was able to survive the confrontation with Akame, that boy is quite capable]

"Burial!"

"Wait a minute, you're doing this for money, right?

Let this girl go!"

"This is not a war. Do you still want to kill innocent people?"

Akame ignored Tatsumi's words and rushed forward.

He came up to him and slashed him with his sword.

"and many more!"

Just when the blade was still a few centimeters away from Tatsumi's neck, Akame was pulled away from behind.

A quick glance revealed that it was Leone who had stopped her.

"what are you doing?"

“Is there still time?

I owe this young man something, and now I want to return the favor."

As he said this, he winked at Tatsumi.

After standing there for two seconds, Tatsumi finally reacted.

Isn't this the guy who cheated him out of money that time?

"Ah! You were the one at that time..."

"Yes, it's that beautiful big sister!"

Tatsumi gritted his teeth.

"Young man, did you just say [Do you still want to kill innocent people]?"

"So after reading this, can you still say the same thing?"

Leone said as he walked to the warehouse door and kicked it open.

"Take a good look, this is the darkness of the imperial capital."

Long Xiaolin: Hmm? So familiar...

When Tatsumi walked into the warehouse, he saw the same scene as Long Xiaolin had seen before.

This scene left Tatsumi dumbfounded and suffocated, and even his voice began to tremble.

"What...is this...?"

"They use sweet words to lure people from other places, inflict their favorite torture on them, and play with them until they die. This is the true face of this family."

Suddenly, Tatsumi saw a scene he could not imagine.

The clone, Shayou, was naked, covered in bruises, and hanging in the air, motionless.

Of course, this is what Long Xiaolin asked them to do in the first place.

"Hello, Sarah, is that you?"

Tatsumi couldn't believe his eyes. His good friend, whom he had only been separated from for a few days, was in such a miserable state.

"Are there any of your friends among them?"

Seeing that the truth was revealed, Arya turned around and tried to escape, but Leone grabbed her head.

"Wait a minute, you want to run away?

You have a very good plan, miss!"

"Did this family do all this?"

Tatsumi growled, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Yes, the guards are also guilty of keeping silent."

"You're lying! I didn't even know there was such a place in my house!

Tatsumi, do you believe me who saved you or these guys?"

Arya tried her best to argue, but someone's voice exposed her lies.

"Tatsumi... You are... Tatsumi..."

"I...Iyeas...?"

“The woman took the initiative to talk to me and Shayou. After we had dinner, she lost consciousness and was locked up here when we woke up.

That woman tortured Shayou to death!"

Seeing the last glimmer of hope disappear, Arya stopped pretending completely.

“What did I do wrong!

Aren't you just a bunch of useless country bumpkins from other places?

Just like livestock!

It's my freedom to treat you however I want!

Besides, that woman is just a girl, but her hair is so soft and shiny, how arrogant!

I am so annoyed by my frizzy hair!

That's why I entertained her in such a thoughtful and considerate way!

She should be very grateful to me for being so kind to her! "

"A wolf in sheep's clothing... Sorry to bother you."

"Burial"

"Wait a moment!"

"At this point, do you still want to protect her?"

"no..."

Tatsumi slowly walked towards Arya, his hand already grasping the hilt of the sword.

"We really have to wait a moment!"

At this moment, a voice interrupted Tatsumi's actions.

Long Xiaolin walked out from the dark corner.

"Hello, Miss Arya~~"

Arya looked in horror at the unharmed Long Xiaolin who walked out of the darkness.

"It's you, you're not..."

“No, what? I look exactly like him?

Your name is Tatsumi, right?

If I told you that Shayu is not dead and Iyeas is also safe, would you believe it? "

"How is it possible? Aren't both of them here?"

"Don't be impatient, Miss Leone. What you hear may not always be true, and what you see may not always be true."

After saying that, Long Xiaolin put two fingers together and raised them up, as if summoning something, and eliminated their clones with the other hand.

In less than a moment, the magic knife Thousand Blades flew from the direction of the house, flew into the iron cage and was firmly caught by Long Xiaolin.

Following closely behind came the real bodies of Sau and Iyeas.

"Sayou, Iyeas, you are really okay!"

When Tatsumi saw the two people appear in front of him safely, he excitedly went forward and hugged them.

The three of them hugged each other and cried.

"Yes, thanks to Xiao Lin's help, we were able to escape this disaster!"

"Okay, let's talk about the past later!

Tatsumi, can you still do it now?"

"Ok!"

After receiving a positive answer, Long Xiaolin gently swung the magic knife in his hand, and a huge gap appeared in the iron cage instantly.

Long Xiaolin walked out and surrounded Arya with Tatsumi from the front and the back.

"What are you going to do?"

"Ask more questions and look above your head."

Arya looked up tremblingly.

Suddenly, hundreds of fragments of the Demon Sword Thousand Blades appeared and floated above her head.

Following the direction in which the fragments extended, everyone discovered that the fragments came from the magic sword in Long Xiaolin's hand, and half of the blade was missing.

Tatsumi slashed down with his sword without any hesitation.

The fragments then began to move, penetrating Arya's body back and forth at an extremely fast speed.

In just a few seconds, Arya turned into blood mist and dissipated.

The fragments also re-condensed into the blade.

Leone also showed great interest in the two of them at this time.

Afterwards, Sau explained the whole story to Tatsumi.

Tatsumi then suddenly realized.

Seeing that they had almost finished talking, Leone stepped forward and picked up Tatsumi.

"I say, can you guys borrow your Tatsumi?"

"Use...use?"

"She meant for Tatsumi to join them in the night raid."

Long Xiaolin explained to the two of them.

"I don't mean to look down on you, Shayou, but you and Iyeas should go back to the village."

After experiencing such an incident, Iyeas and Sau did think about returning to the village. The imperial capital was far darker and more dangerous than they had imagined, and their strength was not enough to help Tatsumi.

"We understand. We will go back early tomorrow morning."

Seeing his companions going back to the village, Tatsumi was a little reluctant, but after some persuasion (brainwashing) from Long Xiaolin and Shayou, he agreed to let them go back.

But he did not agree to Leone's proposal to join the night attack, and now he was just forced to do so.

“What about you, young man?

I think you are quite smart and decisive!"

"As for me...of course I choose to join your night raid!"
