"...This isn't my territory, I don't have the right to kick people out."

Hill covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Thank you so much."

As she spoke, Hill looked into the distance and said, "Actually, I don't think this is like you."

"Are you saying what you said yesterday?"

"Yes, Wei might joke, but he should never use such a serious tone to belittle the value of his companion."

“Wei, I know I’m stupid and slow-witted, but that day, when you came to Night Raid, your eyes were surprisingly reliable and reassuring.”

"I noticed it, I don't know why, but the moment I saw you that day, your eyes told me... no, I believe everyone else felt it too..."

"Wei, it's as if you're saying, 'Now that I'm here, everyone will be happy.'"

"We've only known each other for a few days..."

"..."

Neither of them spoke again, and time passed in their silence.

----------

The next morning, after putting on the human skin mask specially made by Li Wei, he launched a night raid on those who had been exposed and were wanted. He no longer needed to hide himself and openly followed Li Wei to the streets of the capital.

In the world of Kill la Kill, from beginning to end, the human skin mask never appeared.

Logically speaking, this should be considered an item outside the rules and shouldn't exist. In fact, all five of them, including the four members of Purgatory and Fan Xinxian, had collected such items, but they had all tried to take them out but couldn't.

Therefore, Fan Xinxian's gaze towards Li Wei changed again, not because Li Wei ignored the rules, but because... he made this human skin mask under everyone's watchful eyes!

That's right, he just casually took some herbal powder, kneaded it a few times, and a human skin mask with a disguise effect was created.

The herbs that Li Wei collected were all provided by Hill and the others, which meant they must be from the world of Kill la Kill. Fan Xinxian really couldn't understand why the world of Kill la Kill wouldn't have such a thing if a human skin mask could be made so easily.

Perhaps Li Wei has found the right formula?

With that thought in mind, Fan Xinxian perfectly repeated Li Wei's production process.

And he succeeded.

That's right, he successfully made delicious face-shaped sesame cakes.

And so, the entire Night Raid team enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

This left Fan Xinxian looking at Li Wei with a dark expression, who said, "This is exactly the taste I wanted."

"Brother Wei, since you want to eat it, why didn't you make a few more yourself earlier?"

"Anyway, you'll definitely follow along, so why should I waste my energy?"

"Yeah, good craftsmanship."

"..."

And so, disguised as human skin masks, the group wandered around the streets of the capital for a while, found Gamar's oil shop, and then left after strolling around the area for a bit.

Then, while wandering around, the group encountered Ouka from the Imperial Capital Garrison.

Led by Li Wei, the group followed him, changing routes. Many times, even though Ouka had disappeared from their sight, they would quickly reappear after taking a few more steps or going around a slight bend in the road.

Such a coincidence is not even enough to make the person being followed think that someone is deliberately tailing them.

And so, Li Wei and his men followed Ouka mysteriously for several hours without being discovered.

During this time, he did do some things, but they were mostly trivial. For example, Li Wei bought a cake for a beggar, occasionally dropped a few gold coins on the ground, and gave a little girl a bouquet of flowers, etc.

When it was lunchtime, Li Wei led the group to eat in a secluded corner of a restaurant.

Leone took a big gulp of beer and said, "Hey, Li Wei, didn't you say you were going to show us what real assassination is like? It's been so long, why haven't you made a move yet?"

"Well, I don't mind if you treat me to dinner, haha."

Standing to the side, even Najenda, whose right mechanical arm was disguised as a normal arm by Li Wei, took a drag of her cigarette and said, "Li Wei, you don't have to force yourself if you can't do it. Well, we're here anyway."

"If all else fails, I can personally take over. That's not out of the question."

Najeta teased.

"No, no, no, the assassination has been completed."

Just when everyone thought Li Wei was joking, after finishing their meal, they heard the news from the noisy street.

A member of the Imperial Capital Garrison and the owner of an oil shop are dead!

PS:

Chapter 154 A Nation Is Worth Only a Coin

"You're going to die now?"

The others were not entirely convinced. Li Wei hadn't done anything—he hadn't even drawn his knife or stabbed anyone—yet he had killed two people, and these two people were their assassination targets.

Is it a coincidence?

Yes, perhaps they are just two people with the same identity.

Others speculated about this and went to passersby to verify and inquire about the information. When they learned the result, they were shocked.

The dead were Gamaru and Oka from the oil shop.

This... can't be a coincidence!

But that's so strange.

BOSS Najenda's expression changed several times. If, no, not if, what Li Wei did had a huge impact on her.

Their night raid tactics have always involved killing people under the cover of darkness and then making a quick getaway. Every single one of these raids has been fraught with risk.

During this time, companions died one after another, and new people joined, repeating this process over and over again.

If they could all eliminate their targets silently like Li Wei, then the risk of assassination for them in the future would be zero!

It's not about, it's not about, it's not about almost, it's an absolute zero. Combined with Li Wei's disguise, this situation could really happen!

Yes, Li Wei prepared more than one human skin mask for everyone. Each person changed it several times during the process, and even their clothes were slightly altered according to Li Wei's instructions.

Of course, this excludes the possibility that the capital city would become insane and start a massacre indiscriminately, which would be risky no matter what.

Akame asked with a serious expression, "Wei, can you explain this to us?"

Her idea was simple: if everyone could master this ability, then they would no longer have to suffer the pain of their companions' deaths.

They all valued their companions highly.

"I told you before I came to pay attention to every detail about me, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Upon hearing Li Wei's question, the others nodded in unison. Indeed, Li Wei had said that to them, and they remembered it. After all, they were genuinely curious about how Li Wei could kill someone during the day and escape unscathed.

Although it now seems that retreat is no longer necessary.

“Then you know what I’ve been doing all this time,” Li Wei said calmly.

Leone scratched his head. "You mean giving flowers to people and giving alms to beggars?"

“Wait, could it be…” Najenda said incredulously, “that these things are related to the deaths of Oka and the others?”

"clever."

Li Wei snapped his fingers and continued, "To be honest, the darkness in the capital is indeed quite filthy, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get it done so quickly. If it were peacetime, it would have been a bit more troublesome."

"Protection fees, you know?"

"know."

Such things are common not only in chaotic places like the capital, but also in areas with underground forces.

“Oka has a habit of drinking, and as you have seen, he drank recently.”

"So, what does it matter?"

"This... is the key to assassinating Europa alone."

"Over the course of a few hours, I observed the following points."

“That beggar was often charged protection money. There was a guy around who started collecting protection money. He knew Oka.”

"So... when you put all these things together, the assassination will lead to the conclusion."

The others were puzzled, while Fan Xinxian's eyes flickered thoughtfully... Hmm, she still didn't quite understand.

Li Wei shook his head. "Never mind, I'll just tell you what happened."

"Have you ever thought about why, if I was going to give alms to that beggar, I didn't give him money, but instead bought him a delicious cake?"

Seeing their blank expressions, Li Wei sighed and continued, "The scent... I wanted to leave the smell of food on that beggar, which is why I chose a cake with a strong aroma. To enhance the scent, I also did some tricks."

“Don’t underestimate the poor’s sensitivity to the smell of food,” Li Wei said calmly. “I’ve already calculated the time. The person who collects protection money will come to him after the beggar finishes his cake.”

Fan Xinxian continued, "So... he'll be exposed when he's being extorted for protection money?"

"That's right. And what would that person think if they found out that this beggar had money to buy cake but not money to pay protection money?"

“Anger, when he desperately needs money, only extreme anger will naturally lead him to beat the beggar to a pulp, or even kill him in a secluded corner!”

"No matter the outcome, the beggar is doomed to die, which means... his blood will definitely stain him, even through his clothes."

"Could it be... a virus!?" Fan Xinxian looked at Li Wei with suspicion and uncertainty.

"You guessed right."

"But if that's the case..."

Fan Xinxian wanted to ask more questions, but Li Wei gestured for him to shut up.

"Don't pity that beggar. Since I chose him, he deserves to die. There's nothing to pity about him. He has a lot of lives on his hands."

After the others' expressions relaxed, Li Wei continued, "Next, I roughly calculated the operation. I deliberately killed that beggar and then dropped a few gold coins in front of him every now and then."

"Under these circumstances, his surprise is understandable, but why are a few gold coins falling out every now and then..."

"Because I want to guide him to Oka."

Li Wei chuckled softly: "As I said before, he knows Ou Ka. So here's the question: why would a lowly gang leader know someone from the Imperial Capital Garrison?"

"It's very simple. There must be a deal involved. If nothing unexpected happens, Oka is definitely in a superior position in their relationship."

"Once he was discovered by Oka, he could only fawn over Oka, and at the very least, he had to greet him."

"So--"

Li Wei raised his right index finger and said, "This goal is solved."

"Huh? If it's a virus, then why are only the people who died...?" Leone asked疑惑地, her eyes widening as she spoke, "Could it be...?"

"Yes, the difference is that Oka drank alcohol, while the others did not."

"It's a virus that only becomes highly infectious through blood contact, and requires alcohol as a medium to cause illness."

"Even if that beggar were to die suddenly in some corner, it wouldn't affect anyone else in the capital. In other words, in this incident, only Ouka died."

"Similarly, when I gave that little girl a bouquet of flowers, it became the trigger to kill another target."

As Li Wei spoke, he tossed a coin, which he had somehow produced, into the air.

"There's a saying in my hometown that goes like this: A butterfly flapping its wings a few times can cause a tornado on another continent two weeks later."

"If it weren't for certain restrictions..."

As Li Wei spoke, he used the index and middle fingers of his right hand to hold the coin between them.

"Give me a coin, and I can destroy a country."
