Chapter 51: Memories of the Dream
The scorching sun shone unscrupulously on the ** earth, and countless imperial soldiers squeezed into the entrance of the underground palace, and from time to time there would be a terrible cry, giving people a chilling feeling, and the hot world outside became two extremely stark opposites.
"I really didn't expect Su-sama to be sent to help us......" The bald Kiri stood behind Su, with a smile on his face, and his cold gaze swept straight at Suke's body through the slides of his eyes.
"Kiri-sama just didn't think of it?" Su turned around, he was wearing a black dress, with a "kind" smile on his face, short black hair was tucked away and stuck to his head, and his hands with white gloves were crossed in front of his lower abdomen, he looked like a butler or something, very personable, different from the sharp feeling on the battlefield at that time, but from the dark black eyes revealed a sense of majesty that people did not dare to look at directly, more like an old fox with his fangs folded and hiding behind the scenes, "This is all Your Majesty's will, After all, these are important talents on the dark side of the Empire, and Your Majesty is worried about them...... "He didn't raise his right hand to put it on his heart, closed his eyes and sighed, with a very worried expression on his face, "That's why I'm here." His Majesty the Merciful Majesty really couldn't bear to see so many talents annihilated. ”
If he hadn't seen the real face of this man before, Kiri might have been deceived by him, this unscrupulous person who pretends to be a good person in order to achieve his goals is the most disgusting and disgusting person in the empire, the first and the last of the people, but at the same time he is also the most favored person, originally just a servant of the emperor's side, fortunately the emperor's favor and climbed to a high position, and his political status in the country is second only to the minister. Now he has attached the minister who holds the real power, hiding behind the minister's back to give him advice, and the empire is really in the dark.
"Don't think I don't know what you want to do, if you want to shake the empire, you just rely on the momentary scenery...... It simply can't be done. Kiri said in a voice that only two people could hear, glaring at him fiercely, and by chance he had discovered everything he had done behind his back, in the dark—for the destruction of the Empire, utter destruction.
"Na Na Kiri, I also know that you are worried about your subordinates, but I have already brought all the personnel that His Majesty has allowed me to transfer, so please be patient." Su said calmly, answering the question made Kiri very annoyed, but he didn't seem to see Kiri's fierce gaze at all, didn't hear Kiri's threatening words, and there was a different light in his eyes, tepid, as if he wouldn't be angry.
"Hmph." Knowing that it was useless for him to say this, Kiri left in a rage, his bright head glittering like a mirror in the sunlight, and he resumed clasping his hands in front of his abdomen and watching Kiri leave.
What a troublesome person...... It seems that I should go down and take a look, and see the strength of the Imperial Assassination Force, Black Hitomi, I wonder if you will meet your sister? It must be safe.
"My lord, please come with me." A grave keeper said with blank eyes, and reached out to make a gesture of please, "Oh, yes, I'm really bothering you." With a smirk on his face, he had already changed into his outfit, and behind him stood several people wearing gray-white cloaks covering their bodies. The group followed him quietly, and in a short time came to a hidden hole, where the grave keeper did not move again, and turned to look at him blankly.
"It's really hard for you, it's not enough, please be sure to help us keep it a secret." Before he could say it softly, the grave keeper still didn't say anything, as if he had lost his mind. Shu led the group forward, and as he passed by the grave keeper, he stretched out his right hand and patted him on the shoulder.
"Poof" felt a voice coming from behind him, the smile on his face became a little thicker, and a faint smell of blood came from behind him, and he waved his sleeves, "Hurry up and go, let's enjoy this farce." ”
"Boom" the sky exploded with thunder, and he sat up from the bed violently, a drop of sweat from the corner of his forehead, since the last time he saw "no more", he always had some dreams about the past. Panting heavily, his right hand habitually touched his chest, only to find that the belongings he was carrying had disappeared...... Only then did he suddenly remember that the necklace that had not been given to him had been returned to him.
Listening to the rumbling thunder outside the window, the past is projected in my mind like a movie, in order to complete my mission, I have been training desperately since I could walk, so far, how many people have been killed? Finally, is this retribution?
As the emperor's pillow dagger, is this the end of the night?
The people who trained with him were killed one by one in front of his eyes, but he could only escape, and many of them didn't even know their names. I'm afraid no one will remember, no one will remember us who once put a dagger under the emperor's pillow, right?
As if I saw the gates of hell opening, should we all go to hell? But why are there still so many ghosts roaming unscrupulously, why aren't they the ones who go to hell, and why are we ...... Die......
The memories in my brain are shattered like mirror images. It seems that there are thousands of ants biting, this subtle and impossible to ignore the pain. All of a sudden, everything shattered like glass. What comes to mind is a different picture.
"Why, why am I enduring so much? Why ......" little boy who bows his head and sobs, but endures the unbearable high training of ordinary people. He was wearing an ordinary civilian outfit, but it was stained with blood, and next to him were several corpses with swords in their hands, all of which had been fatally killed by a single blow. In front of him stood a man dressed in a black aristocratic outfit, and the man's face was full of unbearability. He stretched out his hand and lifted the boy's face, and at this time his face changed again, disdain, contempt, and even murderous intent, and gave the boy a slap with his hand, the boy staggered and almost fell to the ground, but the man grabbed the placket of his shirt with his left hand and lifted him up as if he was grabbing a chicken.
With his right hand, a dagger glowing with cold light was pressed against the boy's neck, "Why, how many why?" If you don't want to die, come with me, there are six more wanted criminals at large. With that, he waved his big hand and turned and walked away. The boy was thrown several feet away, slammed to the ground, stood up silently, picked up the dagger that had fallen on the ground, and left.
This is when I was five years old.
Then, the picture began to distort again......
"Bang", a huge white-fronted tiger head was thrown to the ground, the characters are still the two of them, but the boy has grown up a little, but there is no expression on his face.
"Class A dangerous species white-fronted tiger, yes, the next thing is to hand in the heads of three A dangerous species in two days, remember, you can only use your bare hands." The man sat on a soft sable sofa with a cup of black tea in his hand, "Do you want to drink it?" As he spoke, he passed the cup forward.
The boy nodded with difficulty, stretched out his right hand to take it, and it was really uncomfortable that he hadn't eaten a drop of water for a day.
"Bang la" A crisp voice sounded, and the teacup that was about to be in his hand fell in the man's hand, "Oops, oops, there's no way, who made you unable to receive it?" Let's go and prepare for the mission. The man had a hypocritical smile on his face, and a smile on his face that he had succeeded in his conspiracy.
This was when I was eight years old.
The image distorts again, with six men in black coats standing in front of them, each wearing a different mask.
The seven people seemed to be a black panther who had found its prey, and rushed over with the strength of their whole bodies, like seven black lightning bolts......
In the end, it ended with three people seriously injured and three minor injuries, and later I learned that this was the companion that the man arranged for him. In later missions, they were called "Seven" by the enemy.
This is when I was thirteen.
The picture began to shake wildly, as if the buildings in the earthquake would collapse at any time, and all kinds of colors would flicker and merge......
Black, dead black, only the continuous sound of rain, as if you were in hell. Slowly, there was a firelight.
"This is the last mission, and you will be able to leave the night house after you are done. So, be sure to survive them all. The man's voice is much older, after all, he has cultivated it himself, and no matter how he says it, he has a little affection.
"Yes."
At the age of fifteen, I came to know something else. In order to regain power from the minister who held power, Erdis, the emperor of the current dynasty secretly reached some kind of agreement with the revolutionary army in the south of the imperial capital. However, due to an accident, the news of the emperor's cooperation with the revolutionary army spread, and the minister Erdis, in order to consolidate his rule, falsely accused the Ye family of kidnapping the emperor, and also charged the Ye family with treason, and mobilized elite soldiers to encircle and suppress the Ye family.
If it was the Ye family five hundred years ago, the minister would not dare to move, but since the turmoil in the empire five hundred years ago, the Ye family has shed all their blood in order to protect the royal family and quell the rebellion, and the people are withered, and there are only about a hundred or so people left in the entire family, and most of them are old people, women and children who have no ability to fight. Before this mission, they had all been transferred to the base outside the imperial capital.
The main content of this mission is to do their best to protect the emperor before the Ye family's assassination team succeeds in assassinating the minister Eldis.
However, no one thought that there was a traitor within the Ye family, and the minister's private soldiers directly found the base of the Ye family, and all the clansmen were killed, and the entire Ye family was razed to the ground by a fire.
The nightmare was far from over, and when we sneaked back to the dark room of the palace with the emperor, we heard the news and said...... The assassination failed, and all the assassination members were destroyed.
Two and three proposed to have a jade burn, and I agreed. After weighing the pros and cons, we finally decided to make a decision at the minister's birthday party next month. However, considering the safety of the emperor, in the end, Yu San fled with the emperor to the Southern Revolutionary Army, and I and Er carried out the mission.
The bustling dinner, the extravagant decoration, and the heavily guarded because of the recent turmoil, finally managed to get in and get close to the target, and in a hypocritical and boring conversation, he looked incredulously at the dagger tip of his chest and laughed in disbelief in the triumphant victory.
I felt my body getting heavier and heavier, and the cold rain hit me.
The pocket watch on his chest "dripped", and it seemed that it was already twelve o'clock. For some reason, there was a slight smile on the corner of my mouth, my mother died at twelve o'clock after giving birth to me in a difficult childbirth. Mom, who I haven't met, I'm finally going to see you.
No...... I can't die yet, as the head of the six of them, it is enough to derelict enough to take them out of the night house alive, and I must fulfill their wishes! Suddenly remembered what was in the pocket watch, and clenched his fists again, the stable life that the boss wants, the second pair of daughters, must be sad to lose their father, right? The third wants to see the sea once, the fifth wants to go to the sea and go to the western countries to see, the sixth wants to make people of different nationalities no longer discriminated against, and the easiest thing for the seventh is to confess to others once.
Before this mission, everyone copied their dreams six times, one for each person, and if anyone died, the rest of them had to fulfill their last wishes on their behalf, but ...... However, if my hand is weakly opened, I will die......
In the end, he didn't die, he fell into the moat, drifted for an unknown amount of time in a coma, and was finally rescued by an old man, who was a doctor and helped him with treatment.
After leaving, he finally returned to the imperial capital to inquire about the news, but the result was unsatisfactory......
The previous emperor died, and the three were also killed in battle, and I heard that he was betrayed.
The Minister of Eldist died, but Earnest supported the emperor's son to take the throne and became the new minister.
All in vain, is this the result?
Because I believe that it is not over yet, I sneak back to the emperor and use all means, I must completely destroy the empire, not for the sake of rebirth, but for eternal destruction, for the sake of the Yejia, for Qi, for myself.
I felt that my wings in the empire had gradually plumped, so I launched a new round of coup d'état, and I thought that Estes, who was only interested in killing and destruction, would not participate in this rebellion, and everything was originally ready, but it was because of Estes's accession that everything was turned upside down......
He was in charge of assassinating the minister, and the other newly trained killers were in charge of the powerful, but when he pushed open the door of the minister's room, a cold chill permeated his whole body...... He desperately escaped and had to join the revolutionary army.
Looking back on what I have done, why are you so stupid and want to subvert a country...... Ignorant commoners are accustomed to obedience, and if there is obedience there will be a new emperor, and all this will not end.
The wishes of their former companions were fulfilled one by one, but they found that they did not know why they lived, and lived in the world in a hazy way, until Najeta invited her to join the night raid, and when she saw the blood-red pupils, she finally knew what she wanted......
