Countless Japanese assassins, half-asleep and half-awake, were startled awake. Rubbing their sleepy eyes, they propped themselves up with one arm and peered outside.
But I can't see anything.
I could only put on my clothes and rush to the courtyard.
Climb up the wall.
He scanned his surroundings.
In the distance, flames soared into the sky! Thick smoke billowed, white mist filled the air, and a pungent smell wafted from there.
It turned half the sky red!
Shock flashed in their eyes!
The suicide squad is a relatively primitive group that attaches itself to the strong and despises the weak. So, after the incident, two members of the Group A suicide squad walked out of the room.
They are the leaders in their daily lives.
They immediately gathered familiar people to help them.
The assassins surged in from all directions through the alleyways, coalescing into a group on a road near the scene of the incident.
They were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, all wearing the same outfit.
People of all heights, weights, and genders are mixed together.
"What's wrong?" One of them, with a buzz cut dyed green, a black iron sword at his waist, a serious look, and a fierce appearance, asked.
"I don't know how it caught fire, let's go check it out."
"Um!"
Their eyes met.
There was not much small talk.
They led the people straight there.
The footsteps thumped and thumped, chaotic and disorderly, echoing in the alley before finally stopping after a while.
A large group of people arrived at the location of the fire.
They stood there, stunned.
Not a single person dared to move forward.
Because it was right next to the burning house, there were seven or eight doorways...
Corpses were hanging everywhere!
The death was gruesome; the body was suspended by clothing, and blood was still dripping down.
Some had half their heads chopped off, some had wounds that pierced through their backs from their chests, and some had their eyes gouged out.
This is just like the ancient ghost town of the Cherry Blossom Country described in the Tale of Yesterday and Yesterday.
Those with dishonest hearts who pass through the Street of Wandering Souls will encounter wandering ghosts and see all sorts of familiar corpses hanging high beneath their doors!
One of them had eyes that looked like they were about to explode.
"Yamagami-kun!!!"
He pushed through the crowd and charged forward like a bull, kneeling down in front of one of the corpses with a thud.
He immediately burst into tears, tilting his head back to look at the lifeless, dull eyes of the corpse.
He was trembling all over, unable to believe it.
The two clearly had a good relationship with the deceased.
"this……"
"What exactly happened?!"
The green-haired man was furious, probably because he has a rather hot-tempered personality.
"Matsusaka-kun, are you still going to put out the fire or not?"
The green-haired man's real name was Matsusaka.
The person asking the question was another member of Team A, but he was more mature and looked weathered, with scars and wrinkles all over his face.
"Zhishui, who do you think did this? Who would have the audacity to set fire and kill people here!"
Matsusaka couldn't imagine that a small village was garrisoned with thousands of assassins, which was stronger than a small army. Would it be suicidal to cause trouble here?
And in such a high-profile way.
They clearly don't treat these people like human beings at all!
"Put all the bodies down." Zhi Shui sighed inwardly and waved his hand.
Several of the assassins rushed forward and cut the clothes tied around the corpse's neck, finally putting the body to rest.
The chaotic group of assassins, their footsteps sounding unsteady, surprisingly remained mostly silent, their eyes fixed intently on the corpses lying there.
There were also two women, who were rather short and therefore not very noticeable, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing in the crowd.
One of them had jet-black hair that cascaded down her shoulders.
The other one is blonde with blue eyes, and about the same height.
Just as someone pulled the person down from mid-air, their brow furrowed, suddenly, with a clang, a steel blade shot out from the night sky! It arrived in an instant!
It suddenly pierced through the man's hand, the force so great that it pinned him to the ground.
A sharp and miserable scream echoed throughout the alley.
"Ah! My hand!!"
"There are enemies!"
"Find him!"
Matsusaka shouted loudly!
At this moment, the fifty or sixty assassins were on high alert, drawing their swords one after another. For a moment, the sound of steel blades humming throughout the alley was incessant and perfectly synchronized.
Their eyes were fixed intently on every corner of the darkness.
They were terrified that a vengeful ghost might suddenly appear and claim their lives.
September and the blonde girl were back to back, their eyes slightly narrowed.
But then, a gentle breeze blows, caressing the alleyway, causing strands of hair to flutter in the wind.
There was no movement.
An unbelievable silence.
The person lying on the ground with nails piercing their hand was making muffled sobs to express the pain.
At the very front, Shimizu of Group A had his gaze fixed on the samurai sword that had pierced through the ground.
He knew perfectly well that the knife was aimed at him.
That is, being at the top level among all the assassins.
He was completely powerless to fight back.
Now, it will become a lifeless corpse.
There are at least some people hiding in the shadows.
The strength of the Upper Moon assassins!!!
In addition to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches ranking from highest to lowest among the assassins of the entire Sakura Kingdom, there are actually some special individuals among them.
Humanoid weapons!
A genius with strength that surpasses all ordinary assassins.
They are intimately familiar with killing, and through years of training, they can become fearless and indifferent to pain.
His eyes were almost devoid of emotion.
They are usually all sorts of oddballs, beings that even ordinary nobles dare not provoke.
