A completely silent night.
Usually at times like this, only street thieves and robbers are active; even members of the Imperial Guard would fall asleep.
The security situation in the Imperial Capital has always been relatively poor, and very few people dare to go out on the streets at night.
At that moment, a blue-haired young man dressed in casual clothes walked out of the Imperial Capital palace.
The guard merely glanced at his face, not even needing to check his identification, and immediately let him pass.
The young man walked for a long time, then suddenly stopped and turned around.
There was no one behind him; there was no sign of anyone following him.
The young man turned around, and in the corner, a young girl was trembling with fear.
Although she didn't know why she was following Wave, there was always a force swirling in Kurome ' heart.
It was a pulling force, whether it stemmed from strong feelings for Akame or from his own curiosity, he couldn't tell.
Kurome has decided to follow Will and go to where he wants to go, just as Wave said.
For some reason, she felt compelled to avoid Wave, but Kurome, relying on her killer instincts, managed to evade Wave gaze.
Seeing that no one was following him, Wave turned around and continued walking.
But a smile had already appeared on the corner of his mouth.
They hadn't walked for very long when they could see the rooftops of tall buildings ahead, and only then did Kurome realize where she was.
Even Kurome, who rarely leaves the palace, recognizes this place.
"The Lieutenant General's residence...?"
"You still came, Kurome."
Wave didn't turn around; he knew Kurome was right behind him. After saying those words, Wave knocked on the door.
At a time like this, Lin Feng wouldn't sleep.
Ultimately, due to the influence of his Vampire Physique, Lin Feng goes to bed later than normal people at night. Sheele and Chelsea's biological clocks are also getting closer and closer to Lin Feng's.
"Creak--"
The person who opened the door was a beautiful girl with long purple hair. She was tall, voluptuous yet slender, with a curvaceous figure, but she did not have any seductive or vulgar temperament. Instead, she appeared pure and lovely.
Kurome had never seen this girl before, and never expected to meet her at the Lieutenant General's residence.
"Ah--it's Wave, she's also Lin Feng's friend, right?"
Wave looked at the Kurome behind him; she looked completely bewildered.
'Why could this girl casually mention Lin Feng's name...? What's their relationship? Does Lin Feng live in a small lieutenant general's mansion?'
"Don't just stand there! Come on in!"
Sheele quickly invited Wave and Kurome to sit in the hall and made two cups of hot tea.
Sheele's hands trembled as she made tea, nearly spilling boiling water on the table several times. Seeing her furrowed brows and focused concentration, yet still unable to do even the smallest task well, Kurome couldn't help but begin to doubt whether she really knew Lin Feng.
" Sheele, you should go and get some rest. You've had a long day."
Just as Kurome was beginning to have doubts, a familiar voice dispelled all her suspicions.
This was undoubtedly Lin Feng's voice, deep and aloof, unlike the voice of his younger self.
Lin Feng walked out of a small room, seemingly having just been drafting some plan. Looking at Wave and Kurome, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Heh, Wave, I knew you weren't just out on patrol."
"You have a well-rounded personality; you must have many unique ideas."
"I brought Kurome with me. If she becomes our enemy, she'll be a rather troublesome opponent in terms of abilities."
"I see--"
Lin Feng couldn't help but recall the scene of his previous battle with Kurome.
At that time, Kurome was engaged in a fierce battle with his own "Type Zero: River of Death," wielding the " March of the Dead - Yatsufusa."
Although her strength back then was less than half of what it is now, Kurome's Teigu was indeed not to be underestimated.
Wave likely intended to consolidate his power before the minister relinquished command of the ' Jaegers ', which was precisely what he intended. It was indeed a wise judgment.
"General Lin Feng, I heard you recently expressed your wish for me to be assigned to your unit."
"Reorganized..."
Lin Feng was about to deny it outright, but then he thought that this was probably just an excuse Wave made up, and he should just go along with what she was saying.
"You said you killed my sister Akame, but then Resurrection her. Can I see her with my own eyes?"
"I see--"
Lin Feng understood.
Wave wanted to use Akame to get Kurome to join Lin Feng's group, or perhaps the two sides would reach some kind of deal.
"Sure, go ahead."
Lin Feng learned very late that Akame was Kurome's older sister.
When Lin Feng first met Kurome in the Imperial Capital Palace, he felt that she looked extremely similar to Akame, almost like the same person.
After working in the Empire for a long time, Lin Feng learned that the girl was actually Akame's younger sister, and that she was determined to kill her older sister to prove her loyalty to the emperor.
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he pushed open the main building's door and led Kurome and Wave towards the side courtyard.
Pushing open the door, one could see that almost half of the members in the courtyard were already asleep, while Akame was sitting directly opposite the door, eating a portion of grilled meat that was not meant for a young girl.
Akame is a carnivore; a single leg the size of Danger Beasts beast's limbs, which would take several adult men to finish, can be devoured by Akame in minutes.
The aroma of meat immediately filled Wave and Kurome's nostrils, and Kurome was completely speechless when she looked at the girl in front of her.
Her long black hair, her face which was exactly the same as hers but appeared even whiter for some reason, her blood-red eyes, and her light and beautiful clothing, most importantly, the long katana she never let go of even while eating—the demon sword Murasame.
This is unmistakably Akame.
"Liar... Akame is dead, isn't she Akame..."
Kurome Eyes suddenly widened, staring at something indistinctly; their eyes were bloodshot. Her lips were pale, her whole body trembled, and a thick, solemn killing intent emanated from her.
The dark purple killing intent quickly alerted Akame; she knew without even needing to react that her sister had arrived.
Even in death, they would never forget each other's presence.
"Let's calm down."
Lin Feng flashed to Kurome's side with ghostly speed, their eyes met, and then Lin Feng's eyes snapped open.
Endless phantoms of blood energy surged forth in an instant. Kurome seemed to see countless dark shadows rising from the ground, trying to drag him into the underworld to suffer eternal torment.
