Slash the Scarlet Eyes: Start with a Starburst Air Stream Slash Chapter 075

After sending off the stern old man, Lin Yu slumped into his office chair.

“What a headache~”

“A headache!”

Hearing this, Xiao Hui immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice, “Do you need me to find some songstresses to help you relax?”

“No, this headache is not that headache.” Lin Yu naturally understood what Xiao Hui meant and waved his hand.

“Understood, then do we need to send someone to notify Seryu?” Xiao Hui continued to ask.

“Go ahead. If Seryu asks about that Night Raid assassin, just say I killed her, and that over a hundred ‘our people’ witnessed it.” Lin Yu waved his hand casually, but then suddenly called out to Xiao Hui, who was about to leave, “Go to the prison and find a few death row inmates. Bring them to our jail here, I have a use for them.”

“Understood, Captain.” Xiao Hui nodded in acknowledgment, then turned and left. At this time, half of the members in the Imperial Guard barracks had already become Lin Yu’s confidantes…

Two days later.

Outside a luxurious residence, Lin Yu and Leone received orders from the Revolutionary Army headquarters to assassinate the civil officials, the Kbole brothers. Although these two were outstanding in their political affairs, they wantonly exploited the common people under the protection of the Minister.

“I just want to make every dish well for everyone, why do I have to do these killing and fighting jobs?” Lin Yu stood on a tall tree and couldn’t help but complain.

“We can talk about cooking later. Tell me, Big Sis, how did you manage to get Sheele? I’m so curious!” Leone’s face was full of gossipy smiles as she quietly moved closer to Lin Yu.

“Hmm… when we have time, drink this bottle of Oolong Tea, and you’ll naturally understand.” Lin Yu, as if performing magic, pulled out a brown bottled drink from his. Although this drink was labeled by the system as containing Oolong Tea ingredients, he couldn’t taste any tea when he drank it, but it was indeed flammable.

Leone took the Oolong Tea and examined it up and down: “Oolong Tea? It couldn’t be something special, could it…”

“What about this…” Lin Yu took the drink back, unscrewed the cap, and a strong, intoxicating aroma of alcohol instantly wafted out. He quickly screwed the cap back on.

“It smells so good! Is this alcohol?” Leone’s sense of smell was exceptionally sharp after beastification, and she immediately recognized it as high-proof fine wine. “Little brother Lin Yu, quickly let me, Big Sis, have a taste first!” Saying so, she reached out to grab it.

Lin Yu, however, let go, and the bottle of Oolong Tea instantly disappeared.

“You’re too stingy, you won’t even let me have a sip!” Leone pouted, puffing up her cheeks in anger.

Lin Yu looked around again and shook his head: “We’re still on a mission. Drinking will mess things up.”

“Then we can drink after the mission is over!” Leone patted Lin Yu’s back with her beast claw.

Lin Yu looked around again, still shaking his head: “No, the environment here is too bad, it’s not suitable for drinking.”

“Then let’s go back to the Night Raid base to drink, the environment there is good.”

“No, it’s not suitable to go back to the Night Raid base either.” Lin Yu still refused.

Leone suddenly realized that this kid’s words seemed to hide another meaning, but before she could ask in detail, Lin Yu had already jumped down from the tree. Helpless, she had no choice but to follow him.

The two silently infiltrated the house and quickly found their targets—two men wearing berets. Leone held up a beast finger, and the moment it dropped, both of them attacked simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, one was decapitated, and the other had his chest pierced.

Just as Lin Yu was about to retreat, a childish “Papa” suddenly sounded. He immediately hid, only to see a little boy rubbing his sleepy eyes and walking to the crime scene. Seeing his father’s tragic death, the little boy was filled with fear, crying out “Papa” non-stop.

“Zank, he’s yours.” Lin Yu turned and left with a cold expression. In the little boy’s horrified gaze, Zank, engulfed in flames, approached like a demon. With a crisp sound, everything returned to peace.

After the battle, by the stream in the forest, Lin Yu lay on a large rock with his hands behind his head. He didn’t know when, but he found that his attitude towards human life had become like those cold and heartless people, losing the proper reverence for life. In his eyes, human life had become incredibly cheap and tragic.

The Kbole brothers were indeed villains who exploited the common people, but to this little boy, they were loving fathers. According to Night Raid’s usual rules, they would not harm anyone outside of their targets, but Lin Yu felt that if this little boy was not eliminated, he would very likely become a great threat to Night Raid in the future. Throughout history, how many protagonists have, due to the murder of their parents, accidentally encountered fortuitous opportunities at a young age, ultimately achieving great success and taking revenge on their enemies? He could not allow such a risk to exist.

“Yo, Lin Yu, what are you spacing out about here? Quickly take out that bottle of Oolong Tea and let Big Sis have a taste!” Leone suddenly appeared and wrapped her arm around Lin Yu’s neck.

“Big Sis, let go first, you’re choking me.” Lin Yu said with difficulty.

Leone then let go, looking apologetic.

“By the way, Big Sis, why did you join Night Raid back then?” Lin Yu asked curiously. In his opinion, with Leone’s personality, joining Night Raid must have involved something special.

“I killed someone I hated, then I was hunted down, so I had no choice but to join Night Raid.” Leone said lightly.

“Oh~ That’s quite concise. What about your Teigu? Was it assigned by headquarters, or did you get it yourself?”

“Oh, this one, I had a merchant friend who was planning to sell it at a low price. I haggled hard and bought it.” Leone explained with a smile.
