Imperial capital.

Hunter Headquarters.

The door of the ward opened and the doctor walked out.

"How is Black Eyes going?"

"It has stabilized... but we can't do anything about the curse poison on her body." The doctor expressed regret, "That is to say, she has not had much time left. Although she doesn't know why the curse poison does not continue to attack, according to the spread, it is time when it explodes again."

"That's it, thank you." Will's voice was a little awkward.

Looking from the window on the door, the black-haired girl was leaning against the head of the bed, with a bandage wrapped around her neck, staring quietly outside the window.

Will took a deep breath and was about to push the door open.

"It's better to let her rest at this time."

Will looks back.

At some point, Lan had appeared behind her.

"Lan, why are you here?"

"I'm here to call you," Lan said, "An explosion occurred in the palace. Captain Esdes is asking us to go over and investigate the situation."

"……good."

Soon, the two arrived at the scene.

The minister's secret room and his dormitory...the two buildings have been turned into ruins.

Many soldiers came and went, cleaning up the surrounding gravel and bricks.

"So, how is the situation now?"

Ran came to Aesdes and asked.

"Most imperial tools have been found." Asdes held his arms with his hands, "but the minister himself has no news."

"Is it done by Yezhe?"

"Is that a word?" Esdes looked calm, "I didn't expect them to act so quickly."

"So...their target is the minister." Will said, "and they succeeded again this time."

"I don't think so," said Esdes. "The minister's body has not been found yet, but I won't mention this in advance. I'm looking for you this time, I have something to ask you to do."

"You just say it."

"The sentries on the front line seem to have noticed that the recent movements of aliens are a bit strange, so I want you to go and investigate." Esdes said, "Find out what they are doing."

"As soon as something happened to the minister, do those guys start to move?" Will frowned.

"Yes, the minister probably didn't expect that the night attack could come and assassinate him under heavy damage." Esdes said, "As soon as he gets into trouble, the alien nations and the revolutionary army will definitely take action."

"Okay, we get it." Lan said, "We will bring the news back in three days at the latest."

After saying that, Lan and Will left.

Asdes stayed at the scene, watching the crowd coming and going around, silent.

After a while, she returned to the conference room of the Hunter Headquarters.

She always feels that something is wrong behind this.

After digging for a night, he almost turned over the entire palace and couldn't find the minister, which means he shouldn't die.

But why didn't he show up?

If he wanted to use this to seduce the revolutionary army and alien nations to attack the imperial capital and try to capture them all, then he would not not talk to himself about such a thing. Although he had suffered repeated setbacks in dealing with the night attack, no one in the entire imperial capital could compare with him in terms of war.

Minister, why do you do this?

While thinking, suddenly, her eyes caught a newspaper in the corner.

I remember it seemed like a while ago, Lan was reading these newspapers whenever she had time.

After picking up the newspaper and scanning it, Esdes found that there were many things about vicious cases on the newspaper that were marked.

All statements are almost inseparable from one word - "Wild Hunter".

She had a little impression of the name.

It seems that Lan’s student was killed by someone in this gang.

That's why he was so troublesome to find the murderer, right?

There are vaguely some people's names marked on the newspaper.

Doteya...

Cosmia...

Champ...

And one of the people's names caught her attention.

——Shila.

Recalling what the former minister of the attack on the night attack headquarters said to him, Esdes was suddenly shocked.

Could it be that... the minister has known Lu Ye’s true identity for a long time?!

The words before leaving were to mock her for believing in the people around her too much.

When he was leading Lu Ye to meet the minister, there was a conversation in the room. Judging from the incomplete conversation content, it was Xila and the minister. When the two entered, Xila was gone. At that time, Esdes still guessed that he had a special way of moving, but now it seems that Xila was probably the guy who attacked him and Lu Ye and sent them to the isolated island.

The reason why he did this is not mentioned yet.

But what Esdes knew was that Sila's relationship with the minister had never been very good.

Why did Xila go to see the ministers as soon as she returned to the imperial capital?

What did they talk about?

Following the notes, there was a name for someone at the end.

That is "Yizang", and the word "dead" is marked after the name.

Esdes remembered that when cleaning up the scene of Anning Road, he did find an unidentified body dead on the spiral staircase, and there were traces of fighting at all four exits.

Lu Ye now knows the identity of the traitor.

This proves that he was the one who rescued the night attack member in Anning Road.

If Lu Ye had already had some contact with Xila when the incident just happened, before the night attack members were in trouble, then the matter would make sense.

But why not throw this message?

Asdes became puzzled.

Even if he would never doubt Lu Ye at that time, the minister would find out that there was a traitor, and he would try to do it.

But the weird thing is that he didn't.

Not only that, he also abandoned his power, money and beauty, and hid himself alone.

Minister, what are you hiding...?

...

On the other side.

In the forest ten kilometers north of the imperial capital.

His fingers touched the blood on the ground, and Shira looked at the black blood stains on her hands and smiled with satisfaction.

"Both losses are both injured... It's amazing! Night attacks and hunters are just stepping stones under my feet!!"

Seeing that his plan was very successful, Xila couldn't help but laugh.

Long before Esdes launched an attack on this place, Sila had already marked the mark nearby. As long as there was a mark, she could instantly move herself to the place where the mark existed.

In fact, the reason why Dr Fashion can find a way to crack Lubbock's barrier so quickly is that Dotya, a sophisticated alchemist, participated.

Xila had expected that such a day would happen, so she made preparations in advance.

After all, Dr Fashion works with him, and he knows everything that Dr knows.

Asdes wanted to attack the night attack, but Shira agreed with her hands.

After all, the strength of both the Night Raid and the Hunter is not bad. Once the fight starts, both sides are seriously injured, which will bring a lot of convenience to the subsequent actions.

At this time, Yan Xin appeared behind Xila.

"Shira..."

"What's wrong?"

"There is something wrong in the palace..."

After informing Xila about the explosion in the palace, his expression became solemn.

"real?"
