(231) Imperial Assassination Department
(231) Imperial Assassination Department
Bai Po and his party were brought into the empire in this way, he never thought that he would be sold here as a slave, and how could he get out if he had no ability to protect himself.
The prosperity of the empire is no less than that of the Holy Capital, and before entering the city gate, you can see the imperial palace standing on the high mountain in the distance, and the appearance of the entire imperial palace is even more luxurious than the scene on the street, and it is difficult to imagine what the scene is inside.
They were escorted to a secluded spot at the foot of the palace hill, where in a cul-de-sac at the end of the valley, a soldier pressed his hand to a stone, and with a violent tremor, the mountain slowly moved to the sides, opening a passage to the depths.
The sides of the passage were littered with corpses, almost none of them intact, some of which had been cut in half or some had their heads smashed with blunt objects......
Blood donations were everywhere, and many people screamed at the sight of horror.
Bai Po thought he had some determination, and he couldn't help but want to vomit when he saw these corpses. What kind of place is this, and what is the empire buying them for?
The loss of the Ice Spirit Sword and the unusability of the Demon Essence made Bai Pera no different from ordinary people, and in front of this group of soldiers, Bai Per was like a lamb to the slaughter.
Ella told her that the empire was in danger, and even a strange old man had reminded Bai Per, but Bai Per was always vigilant, so that she had the appearance she has now.
Huiyin looked very calm, her eyes were calm, and she would look at Bai Po from time to time, as if she wanted to reassure Bai Po.
Finally, the destination arrived, and they were released from the cage and thrown into the dungeon.
A large group of people were divided into five cells, Bai Po pulled Huiyin tightly, and the two were squeezed into the same cell by the crowd, the iron door of the cell was slammed shut, and the soldiers left.
"Are you alright, Huiyin ......" Bai Po asked with a guilty tone, reproaching herself.
"I'm fine, we have to find a way to get out of here. "Huiyin has been observing the situation all the way and found that this place resembles a gladiatorial arena.
"However, I don't need the Demon Essence anymore, and the Ice Spirit Sword is nowhere to be found...... Bai Po said.
"Maybe it's because the effect of the medicine hasn't passed, you can rest for a while, and when you recover, we can break out." Huiyin encouraged.
"I'm sorry I was careless in putting us in this situation. ”
"You don't have to blame yourself, we didn't expect this to happen, but I'm relieved to have you here. Huiyin was like a man, patiently comforting Bai Po, a little girl.
Suddenly, the dungeon door was opened.
A waist-length woman and Natara, who had just killed the lizard, walked in, and the woman glanced at the people in the cells, who were not surrounded by fear, huddled on the ground and shivering.
Until she and Bai Po looked at each other, the woman's eyes were red, a cherry blossom long knife was pinned to her waist, and her red pupils were blinking, but she looked a little cute. She was dressed in a black and red tight-fitting suit, and her inadvertent movements revealed a bit of murderous aura, stepping on black boots and walking towards the cell in front.
"This man is also a killer. Huiyin said.
She could feel the murderous aura surrounding people, and a person would only have such an aura if he killed people like hemp. Such an aura was only felt by Huiyin in the killers of the Killer Palace, so Huiyin was sure that this woman was a killer.
"These children look very weak, or kill them, what do you say?" Natara's murderous intent when she saw the two children in the same cell as Bai Po.
The two little girls hid in the corner and did not dare to make a sound, it seemed that they were a pair of sisters, and the older sister hugged her sister tightly and glared angrily at the two outside the cell.
"Forget it, they are very similar to me and Black Pupil in the past, natural selection, survival of the fittest, if they can't survive, that's their fate. Akatomi said.
"That's it, that's what you said. The murderous intent in Natara's eyes faded, and she waved her hand like a nobody.
"What the hell is this place?" Bai Per asked.
"This is the Imperial Assassination Department, a place to train killers, that is, let you fight each other, and the last survivors can join the Imperial Elite Assassination Team, and the loser has only one way to die, so if you want to survive, go and kill!" Natara's smile was slightly distorted, not caring at all that Bai Per knew these things.
The empire has the means to make these people submit to the empire.
Red Hitomi stood aside and didn't speak, just quietly stared at Bai Po. He always kept Huiyin behind him, and it seemed that the two of them were sold here together.
The two men left the dungeon, and soon dinner was served, and after dinner, the people fell asleep in a tense and frightened atmosphere after a long day.
Bai Po let Huiyin rest first, protected herself by her side, and entered the meditation.
Indeed, as Huiyin said, the medicinal effect in the wine has not yet dissipated, resulting in the essence of the demon being unable to let go of it.
Bai Po controlled the slight demonic essence, forcing the medicine out of the body little by little, and the seemingly short process actually passed overnight.
When Bai Po completely forced out all the drugs, it was already the morning of the next day.
Huiyin woke up early, she had been waiting by Bai Po's side, not letting others get close, and she was much more relieved to see Bai Po open her eyes.
"I've recovered, but the Ice Spirit Sword is indeed lost. Bai Po said.
The induction between him and the Ice Spirit Sword was gone, just like someone had taken his Ice Spirit Sword, Bai Po vaguely remembered that he had conjured the Ice Spirit Sword before he fell unconscious, could it be that the family had taken his Ice Spirit Sword.
It's too late to think about this now, the top priority is to get out of here, but Bai Po is soft-hearted and wants to leave with the others, after all, they are all innocent.
Bai Po walked up to the sisters and crouched down slightly.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, what's your name?" Bai Per asked softly.
"I—My name is Yasen, and this is my sister Yamon......" Yasin looked at Bai Per warily.
"Don't worry, I'll take you out. Bai Po smiled.
"Please...... Take us with you!" said a few people on the side.
Bai Po nodded, he had already carefully looked at the other people in the same cell, in addition to Bai Po Huiyin and the two girls, there were two men, an old man and a woman.
The woman had been huddled in a corner since she entered, and had not communicated with the others, and Bai Po had looked at her, her eyes full of gray despair.
The two men seemed to be the old man's sons, and Bai Per had learned from their conversation last night that they had been sold here by the old man's eldest son.
The old man's sadness and helplessness, the resentment and complaints of the two sons, the despair of the woman, and the fear of the two sisters filled this cell with negative energy, and Bai Po's words brought them some hope.
"Joke, do you know what this place is? You can't get out of here alone. The woman in the corner said suddenly, her words discouraged everyone's enthusiasm.
Yes, this is the Imperial Assassination Department, far away in the Imperial jungle, in addition to being heavily guarded, there are also imperial envoys like Red Pupil and Natara.
With Bai Po alone, how can he leave?
Bai Po didn't say much, words are difficult to change a person's desperate heart, only action can prove everything.
The demon's blood boiled in Bai Po's body, Bai Po felt the familiar power of ice, the temperature in the cell plummeted, Bai Po raised his hand, and the door of the cell was frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant.
"Stay, I need your help. At this moment, there was a person walking outside the cell, she was stepping on black boots, with a long knife at her waist, the knife was in the sheath, but it still exuded a terrifying chill.
Yesterday, when the red pupil arrived, I saw that Bai Po was also an imperial envoy, and today I deliberately wanted to talk to Bai Po when no one was around, and I happened to meet Bai Po to escape from prison.
"I don't have anything to talk to you about. Bai Po said coldly.
"I can get you out of here. Akatomi said. "My name is Red Hitomi. ”
"White Amber. ”
"The empire has become corrupt, the power is controlled by the ministers, the emperor has become his puppet, and under the rule of the ministers, the people of the empire are not happy, and the people's hearts are distorted. There are many politicians who have risen up against the tyranny of the minister, and they have been accused by the minister of having our so-called assassins kill them. Red Hitomi recounted the empire she knew.
"Many of those who died at my hands...... Knowing that I had been tasked with assassinating a great general that day, I saw the true face of the Empire, and her name was Najeshitan. I, like you, were sold here, and only seven people survived, including me and Black Hitomi, as well as Natara. Black Hitomi is my sister, and Natara is the companion we met later. ”
"Natara's was a simple and innocent girl......"
"The man with the gun, isn't he a man?" Bai Po interrupted Red Hitomi.
"No, actually, her girl, just to protect herself, cut her hair short, to make herself more like a boy. Before I came to you, I talked to Black Hitomi and wanted to take her with me, but she refused...... The idea of the corruption of the empire was deeply imprinted in her mind, and the years of assassination missions had made her murderous. ”
"Natara's is the same as her, so in the end, I can only come to you. Although we don't know each other, Murayu can feel your strength, and I want to ask you to leave the empire with me, join the rebels, and destroy the corrupt system of the empire!"
Bai Po looked back at Huiyin, now that the Jingluo Stone is in the hands of the minister, and Hearst is lurking beside the minister, if they want to get the Jingluo stone, they must find the minister.
The corruption of the empire is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is also the reason for the perennial war of the empire, and Bai Po even feels that he can join the red pupil and overthrow the rule of the empire.
