Slash the Scarlet Eyes: Start with a Starburst Air Stream Slash Chapter 144

Not long after, Lin Yu returned to the camp on the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

“Wow, that’s too much. Why didn’t you leave me some barbecue?” Lin Yu walked down from the dragon’s body and looked at the mountain of skeletal remains next to the campfire, his face full of resentment.

“Mmm-hmm, Hao Chi.” Akame’s cheeks were like a hamster’s, and she held barbecue in both hands, speaking indistinctly.

“Uh… Akame, I won’t steal your meat.”

“Then what did you do with Bols? Did you kill him?” Kurome asked, sucking on a lollipop.

“Killed him, gave him a quick death.” Lin Yu waved his hand, not wanting to say more.

“Killed him…” Kurome lowered her head.

“Since Lin Yu has returned to the team, let’s proceed with the second phase of the plan: hunting Bolic of the Path of Peace cult.” Najenda gathered everyone and said, “According to the intelligence team’s investigation, it has been confirmed that this Bolic fellow is a spy planted by the Minister in the Path of Peace.”

“His goal is to prevent the Path of Peace’s armed uprising. And Bolic is deeply trusted by the cult leader, he will use this to kill the cult leader, making him a true ‘god,’ and then he himself will become the cult leader, ruling the Path of Peace.”

“Understood.” Everyone responded.

…

Eastern battlefield.

As Esdeath retracted her rapier, a large number of corpses lay on the battlefield.

“As expected, there are only ordinary bandit groups here? It seems Night Raid’s full strength is in the south.” Esdeath said.

“Then Wave and the others…” Seryu immediately said, thinking she would meet Lin Yu by following the captain, but she didn’t expect it to be just a group of bandits.

“It’s very likely they’ve been completely wiped out. After all, all of Night Raid, including Lin Yu and Kurome, are over there. It’s hard for those three to survive. But the mission still needs to be completed. Let’s go, Seryu.” Esdeath mounted her horse.

Seryu reluctantly mounted her horse, just a little bit, just a little bit more, she absolutely had to ask him face to face.

…

After several days of travel, Lin Yu and his group finally arrived near Jerk, the headquarters of the Path of Peace cult, under the cover of night.

An oppressive atmosphere permeated this land, as if even the air had become heavy.

“Finally here. I didn’t expect this dreadful place to be so far.” Lin Yu and his group got off the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. This was the meeting point where they would wait for Brother Bulat.

“Shi… Sheele, help… help me…” Mine, supported by Sheele, came to a patch of grass and began to vomit.

Correspondingly, Lubbock, supported by Ieyasu, also came to another patch of grass and vomited.

Whoosh~

Everyone immediately felt a strong gust of wind. Looking up, it was indeed Brother Bulat riding Almenda, but Tatsumi was not on it.

“Yo, everyone looks energetic.” Bulat jumped off Almenda, showing his signature white-toothed smile.

“Brother, have you not found Tatsumi yet?” Ieyasu stepped forward and asked.

“I’m very sorry, there’s no news of him yet.” Bulat patted Ieyasu’s shoulder and laughed heartily, “But Tatsumi inherited my Incursio, so don’t worry, he’ll be fine.”

“Brother…” Ieyasu and Bulat met each other’s gaze, and a hazy glow appeared around them.

Lin Yu couldn’t bear to look directly. This was the charm of Brother Bulat; one could easily fall into it without realizing.

“Alright, all members are present. Let’s enter the city; there’s a lot to do.” Najenda ordered.

“Oh.” Everyone responded, entering Jerk openly with Lin Yu’s appearance optimization. Previously, they needed to show themselves to attract Esdeath, but this time it wasn’t necessary.

After entering the city, everyone quickly found their revolutionary army comrades who were lurking in Jerk. Under their guidance, they arrived at a house to use as a temporary base.

The house was very large, appearing several times larger than Lin Yu’s house in the Imperial Capital from the outside.

Path of Peace Headquarters.

A few days ago, Wave and Run’s return truly surprised Esdeath; she hadn’t expected these two to come back alive.

Only Bols had sacrificed himself. From their accounts, she learned that Bols had used his Teigu to self-destruct to cover their retreat.

Perhaps only in this way could these two return. Since that was the case, the mission proceeded as normal: flying to Jerk on the flying Danger Beasts kept in the Imperial Palace to protect Bolic, the deputy leader of the Path of Peace.

At this moment, Wave stood in front of the mirror, slightly frowning, adjusting his tie while muttering to himself, “I really can’t get used to these clothes… I feel like I’m being restrained.” He gently tugged at his tie, seemingly wanting to loosen it.

“How should I put it…” Seryu, holding Koro, looked down at her own evening gown and shrugged helplessly, “Even when I wear an evening gown, I always feel like it doesn’t suit me. These clothes are too flamboyant, completely not my style.”

“Seryu, you look very good in this dress.” Run stood by, closing the book in his hand, and said with a smile.

“But if I dress like this, if I encounter any difficulties, it will be hard to uphold justice.” Seryu still complained about the clothes, as they would tear if she had to fight.

“It’s a rare welcome party.” Esdeath walked in from outside the room, wearing a magnificent long dress. Her skirt swayed gently, and she smiled slightly, “Everyone has changed into these clothes, so let’s just relax and have fun. Perhaps there will be some interesting performances at the welcome party.”

Meanwhile, on a rooftop, Lin Yu alone held a blank map, moving back and forth through the Path of Peace headquarters, drawing and marking on the map.

Terrain, personnel distribution, cult members, and other information needed to be mapped for the subsequent plan.

But by chance, he saw Esdeath and a few others, dressed in luxurious attire, seemingly walking in a certain direction.

“Hmm… Should I observe them up close? With my optimization ability, they shouldn’t discover me.” Lin Yu stealthily followed, casually molding his face into that of an ugly cult member he remembered. If he were too handsome, he would definitely be discovered, and a plain or ugly face was best for gathering intelligence.
