"Why is this happening?" - Tazmi.
Akatomi concluded, "Give it up, Leonay will never take it back as long as he says it." ā
"Good ...... Well, you deserve to be my best friend, you really know me! Leonay stroked the top of the red pupil's head and said proudly.
"Hey, wait, are you going to make me a killer? I don't want it!! ā
"it! I was busy for a long time, and I was actually treated as an incidental to Tazmi before entering the night attack!? Nima's protagonist aura is too rebellious, isn't it!? ā
"Could it be that my previous preparations were all in vain!? Compared with the noisy Tazmi, Lin Yiyan has been full of complaints from the unreasonable blows of this world, and he is physically and mentally exhausted! Everyone quarreled with each other for a while, and finally, Red Hitomi, who was the person in charge of the operation, stopped several people and solemnly declared, "The battle is over, let's go back!" ā
"Uh-huh!!!"
Brand and the others agreed in unison, and then evacuated with Red Pupil.
ā¦ā¦ā¦
On the outskirts of the imperial capital, the killer group attacked the base camp at night. At this time, three days have passed since the last assassination operation, Lin Yiyan has slowly adapted to the atmosphere of the night raid organization, and Tazmi has gradually recovered from the loss of his best friend and childhood sweetheart.
Unlike Lin Yiyan, who decided to join the night raid early, Tazmi has not made up his mind to join the organization until now. But even so, Tazmi still gets along well with the other members of the Night Raid because of his relationship with Leonay, and Lin Yiyan, who has always rarely interacted with other people, is completely low-end.
The contrast is stark.
On this day, Lin Yiyan sat in the living room with his eyes closed, silently cultivating the "Wisdom Sutra of the Root of Ten Thousand Laws", and accumulating his own heritage in turn. Across from him sat the dignified and beautiful glasses lady Hill, who was now reading the book in her hand with her head down, making it difficult to associate her with the word "killer".
"Huh?" Seeing Leonay and Tazmi walk into the living room, Ciel looked up, "Haven't joined us yet?" Hearing Hill's words, Lin Yiyan also woke up from his closed eyes practicing, "Yes, if you are a man, make a decision quickly, I feel anxious for you!" ā
"That's it." Leonay agreed, then looked at Ciel for help, "Now, Ciel, come and say something warm and touching to him to make him change his mind." ā
"Hmm......" Hill muttered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Tazmi and said seriously, "Speaking of which, since you already know the location of our stronghold clubhouse, if you don't form a group, you will become a corpse!" ā
"Poof-" Lin Yiyan laughed directly when he heard this, it was really scary to be natural!? As the person concerned, Tazmi was directly frightened and sweaty, and almost cried, "Wow, wow, these words are so warm that they can almost make Xiaosheng burst into tears!" ā
"I advise you to decide to join quickly!" Lin Yiyan seriously made suggestions to Tazmi, and with a casual glance, he saw the name written on the cover of the book in Hill's hand, and almost laughed out loud.
"100 Correction Methods for Natural Stays"...... I rub! There are even such books! At this time, the double-tailed Ma Yin walked in, pointed at Tazmi dissatisfied, and shouted, "Hey, Leonay, how did you bring this kid into the stronghold clubhouse!?" ā
"Because we're partners." Leonay said as a matter of course. Tazmi didn't appreciate it, and directly dismantled the stage, "Isn't it a companion!" ā
"He didn't even get the boss's permission!" Ma Yin screamed in a fanged shape, then jerked her head to look at Tazmi, who suddenly looked unnatural.
"Unqualified!"
"No matter how you look at it, I don't think he's the type who can work with a very dedicated, naturally professional, and super professional master like me, just look at his stupid face!" Ma Yin turned her head and said.
"What !?" Tazmi was decisively enraged by Mayin and roared, "Bastard, you say it again! Leona hurriedly played the round and laughed, "Don't care, don't care!" Ma Yin is so virtuous no matter how he aligns! ā
"Humph!" In response, Ma Yin snorted back with a tsundere-style cold.
"Then again, are you really reluctant to join the Night Raid, Tazmi?" Lin Yiyan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the living room.
"What-?"
"Tazmi, your village should pay a very strict tax every year, right?"
"Yes, I left the village to serve as a soldier in the imperial capital because the village began to be unable to pay taxes."
"You're not right!" Lin Yiyan sighed, "Even if you become a soldier or find a job in the imperial capital, and earn a large amount of money to remit to the village, the tax collectors of the empire will also squeeze the money out of the hands of the villagers, and it won't be long before your village will be on the verge of extinction again, how long do you think you can support alone?" ā
"This ......" Tazmi, who had never seriously thought about this, was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer. Several members of Leonay's Night Raid next to him also looked at Lin Yiyan in amazement, listening to how he persuaded Tazmi to join the organization.
"This empire that has lasted for more than a thousand years has rotted from the roots, and if the villagers want to live happily, the entire empire must be changed!"
"Change the empire? Can it be done? Tazmi asked.
"Of course, it's hard for one person to do it, but no one has let you change the entire empire alone!" Lin Yiyan smiled lightly, "As long as someone stands up to resist, there will be many people who will rebel together, so that the rule of the empire will naturally collapse completely, and then the new system will replace the old system, and the people will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment?!" ā
Tazmi still didn't understand: "That's what I said, but ...... What does this have to do with joining the Night Raid? ā
"Why are you so stupid! Night Raid is a group of killers who specialize in killing high-ranking officials and powerful people of the Corrupt Empire, and the more successful the assassination mission is, the less powerful the Empire will be to destroy the new system! In other words, the success or failure of the night raid is related to the lives of tens of millions of people, and if you are willing to come out for the village to make a living, don't you want to do something for the people of the world! ā
Without revealing too much plot information, Lin Yiyan directly sacrificed a sky-big tall hat, and he didn't believe that Tazmi, who was young and frivolous and strong-blooded, would not take the bait. Sure enough, the blood boiled by Lin Yiyan's words, Tazmi clenched his fist with one hand, and said with heroic enthusiasm, "Is that so...... Well, I'm willing to join the Night Raid! ā
"Bang bang bang!" A burst of applause came from outside, and a figure strode in, accompanied by a voice full of appreciation, "Well said! Well decided! Welcome to the Night Raid! ā
"Great, boss, you're back!" Seeing the identity of the person who came, Leonai and the others cheered in unison.
"Yo!" Najeta, the boss of the Night Raid organization and one of the former Imperial Generals, raised her right hand at everyone, "Everyone, I'm back!" ā
"Welcome back, boss!"
"These two are the new members of our night raid, Lin Yiyan and Tazmi, welcome to join the night raid." With that, Najeta smiled and held out her right hand.
"Hello, I'm Lin Yiyan, a new member, please take care of the boss in the future." Lin Yiyan stretched out his hand and shook it.
"Oh, hello, I'm the newcomer Tazmi, please take care of me." He was watching Najeta's right arm and Tazmi in his right hand before he reacted when he was hit by Leonay, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet the boss. Najeta smiled and nodded, very satisfied, "Well, that's good! You'll be part of the Night Raid from now on! ā
After it was confirmed that Lin Yiyan and Tazmi had officially joined the night attack, the people in the night attack returned to their old appearance. Especially Leonay, she directly forgot about her previous mistakes, and beckoned excitedly, "Welcome home, boss, did you bring me any famous products?" ā
But what answered her was-
"Compared to that, Leonai, you seem to have worked more than you did three days ago, right?"
"Huh? Worst! I'll run! Leonay was taken aback, turned around and ran, seeing that it was obviously not the first time that she had moved so skillfully.
However, since this is not the first time Leonay has escaped, the boss Najeta who is responsible for repairing her naturally has a strong ability to deal with it, just when Leonay just rushed out two steps, Najta's mechanical right hand suddenly flew out and grabbed her shoulder, and the place between the mechanical hand and Najta's arm was tied by a strong steel wire.
"Whoa, whoa!!" Leona struggled in panic, but could not break free from the grip of his mechanical hand.
At this time, Najeta, who was sitting in her seat, showed a gloomy smile and said slowly, "It's easy for you to enjoy yourself when you meet a strong enemy, which is not a good thing for us!" It seems that there is a way to correct this bad habit of yours! ā
"I know~! I got it! Hurry up and stop that crunch for me. ā
"This is really a gathering place for weirdos!" Tazmi muttered quietly, and Lin Yiyan next to him also nodded in agreement, it would be strange if there were normal people in the night raid organization! Leonay, who lost his "fighting spirit", was quickly repaired by Najeta.
After a while, Najeta stopped, looked at Red Hitomi and ordered, "Red Hitomi, gather everyone to the conference room, and let these two new members get to know the members of the organization well." Red Pupil nodded and walked in the direction of the training ground, where Lubbo and Brand were training.
