"You're lucky. If you were a little more off, you would have to meet her in the cemetery."

After Fang Zheng bandaged the purple-haired girl's wound, he looked at her carefully, then turned around and spoke to the girl with twin ponytails sitting on the chair behind him.

“Thank…thank you…”

Faced with the mysterious figure in white robe, Maine didn't know what to say. After all, this night was too exciting for them. Hill almost died just now... Thinking of this, Maine couldn't help but tremble.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at Ma Yin and asked. He had just checked the injuries of the two. The purple-haired girl, Hill, had a penetrating wound, but fortunately, her arteries and heart were not injured, so she just needed to be bandaged. Ma Yin's condition was serious after all. Her right arm was comminuted and fractured, her left hand was also fractured, and she had some internal injuries.

Under normal circumstances, Fang Zheng could heal this kind of injury with just Holy Light, but now he was using a Soul Stone, so Fang Zheng could only use the skills on this Soul Stone. Fortunately, this Soul Stone also had the ability to make medicine, so Fang Zheng was tidying it up, grinding and pounding it, and soon he saw two bottles of strange red potions inexplicably appear in his hands.

"Here, drink this."

Fang Zheng threw one of the bottles to Marin and opened the other. This potion can "restore health" in the game. Of course, there is no health bar in reality, but Fang Zheng has tested it and found that as long as it is related to the treatment of trauma, it can be completely cured with this blood bottle.

After all, both of them are basically at low health now, and they will be almost healed after taking a bottle of medicine.

"What's this?"

Marin took the blood bottle that Fang Zheng threw to her with her relatively usable left hand and looked at it in confusion. As killers, they always acted cautiously. After all, they were wanted criminals. If they ate something they shouldn't, the consequences would be bad.

"Healing potion, drink it, then have a good sleep, and you will be fine the next day."

“…”

After hearing what Fang Zheng said, Ma Yin was still a little skeptical. She looked at the blood bottle in her hand, then looked at Fang Zheng, feeling a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should listen to him.

"You don't have to drink it, but this medicine is only effective when you're just injured. The effect will weaken over time."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, then he picked up another bottle of potion and poured it directly into the purple-haired girl's mouth.

“Cough, cough, cough!!”

As the potion was poured into the purple-haired girl's mouth, she immediately began to cough. However, after a while, the purple-haired girl, who had originally shown a painful expression, gradually calmed down and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Marin was silent for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth, opened the bottle cap, and drank the potion.

As the potion went down her throat, Marin soon felt a warm force emerging from her body, spreading rapidly to her limbs. Soon, her injuries, which had been aching slightly, became much better, and her body, which had been exhausted from the battle today, also relaxed a lot at this moment.

"Who...are you? Are you the god of death?"

"Death? Haha, that's just a nickname given to us by those idiots. In fact, we are just assassins."

"assassin?"

I have to say that this answer surprised Maine. The true identities of these "Death Gods" had been discussed many times within Night Raid, and there had never been an accurate answer. But Maine would never have thought that they were actually a group of assassins?

"You are assassins? Then who commissioned you...?"

"Miss, we are not the assassins you think we are."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"We are assassins. We have our own beliefs and creeds. We fight to protect the free will of the people. This is why we appear here. Do you understand?"

"I...I don't quite understand..."

Marin seemed to not understand Fang Zheng's answer, but she quickly changed the subject.

"But since your target is also the Empire, then do you want to join forces with us and the Revolutionary Army?"

That's right, this is the real purpose of Ye Xi's search for Fang Zheng and others. Since the other party is also targeting the Empire, then maybe the two sides can cooperate. This is also the instruction from the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army. And now that the other party has appeared in front of them and saved their lives, Ma Yin thinks that they should be able to cooperate.

"hehe……"

However, when Fang Zheng heard what Ma Yin said, he just laughed.

"We are sorry, but we do not intend to cooperate with you."

"Why?"

Ma Yin was shocked to hear this answer, while Fang Zheng stared at her.

"It seems that you didn't understand what I meant, Miss. We are assassins. We fight to protect the free will of the people. Therefore, when the people are oppressed, we will appear. Just like now, we appear here to eliminate those high-ranking officials of the Empire who oppress the people. But this does not mean that our target is the Empire. Any force, any force that tries to suppress and force the people to submit is our target."

Having said this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"Even if it's the Revolutionary Army, if they do something similar, we will kill them without mercy. So I'm sorry, we can't cooperate."

"How could the Revolutionary Army do such a thing?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Mayin immediately stood up and loudly refuted.

"Can you say no? After the Revolutionary Army takes control of the Empire?"

"this……"

Ma Yin opened her mouth, she wanted to say no, but... she couldn't be sure of that. But then, Fang Zheng's next sentence immediately set her off.

"And, personally, I don't want to work with you because you are so unprofessional."

“Unprofessional?!”

Hearing this, Ma Yin was so angry that she almost jumped up!

"We are the capital's feared night raider! How can we be unprofessional?"

"Isn't it just using the imperial tool to bully people?"

Fang Zheng glanced at Marin silently.

"No plan, no idea, just relying on the power of the imperial weapon. Isn't that what you do? It might be effective against ordinary people, but when facing strong people of the same level, your weakness of being disorganized and undisciplined will be exposed immediately."

“Woo…”

"Take today's battle for example. There was a forest right next to you, but you insisted on running around in the street. Were you not retreating, but strolling around? Also, when facing the enemy, you rushed in without being sure of their strength. It was ridiculous. With your strength, you could have shaken them off, but you insisted on fighting..."

At this point, Fang Zheng shook his head. In his opinion, this night attack force was just a group of scattered soldiers. Another thing that made Fang Zheng speechless was their attire. This group of people seemed to be like Batman who didn't change clothes when going out to fight. They wore exactly the same clothes as on the wanted poster. It was hard for people not to recognize you.

Just like the purple-haired girl, if she changed her clothes and hairstyle, it would be easy to avoid being noticed.

But she insisted on wearing a cheongsam. Is she trying to play “spot the differences” with the wanted poster?

Also, when you found out that the opponent was also a user of an imperial weapon, you didn't run away immediately but rushed forward directly. Who gave you the courage?

This is the result.

If Fang Zheng hadn't acted in time, the purple-haired girl would have been fed to the dogs.

“You…you…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Marin clenched her fists in anger and wanted to refute, but she had nothing to say. Especially when she recalled the scene where the internal affairs officer was rescued from the execution ground, the other party did not show up from beginning to end. The whole process was quick and neat. In comparison, each action of the night raid ended with a cat-and-mouse escape game. In this comparison, it seemed that her side was indeed not as clean and neat as these assassins.

In addition, the previous battle was indeed very embarrassing, so Marin had nothing to say at this moment.

"Okay, have a good rest, I'll take you away tomorrow."

Fang Zheng said something else casually, then turned and left the room, leaving Ma Yin alone with a pout and sulking.

Not long after Fang Zheng walked out of the room, a figure appeared beside him.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, my identity has been discovered."

"What's going on?"

Fang Zheng asked in a low voice while looking at Iyeas beside him, who was half-kneeling on the ground.

"I followed your instructions to deal with the guard soldier hiding in the woods, but I didn't expect that the soldier was actually... Tatsumi..."

"Is that the companion you and Shayou were talking about?"

Fang Zheng thought about it and soon remembered that the two had mentioned to him before that they had a companion named Tatsumi, but they were separated because of a monster attack on the road. Now it seems that the person named Tatsumi has joined the security team...

"It doesn't matter. It's okay even if someone sees it."

Fang Zheng didn't care at all about his identity being exposed. The "assassins" in this world possessed the same special skills as in the game. In the game, as long as the assassin blended into the crowd, he would immediately be in a safe state and would not be discovered. It was the same in this world. As long as he calmed down and blended into the crowd, even if he was not dressed like a human, he would be ignored by the guards.

Of course, players are kindly requested to dress like human beings during the cutscenes.

"but……"

"Don't say anything, you know what to do."

Fang Zheng raised his hand, interrupting Iyeas's defense.

"It would be fine if he doesn't come to hinder us, but if he becomes our enemy, then there will be only one end for him... Remember this, Iyeas."

"...Yes, Master."

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Iyeas was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and responded in a low voice.

"I see."
