Bab 21: Noble Qualities Can Always Be Appreciated

"Woooooo..." The military dog stopped in front of a house at the back.

Lin Ye knew they had reached their target. Following Yang Anli's lead, he leaned against the wall, watching one of the special soldiers about to open the door.

The wooden door opened, and a blonde woman holding a notebook stepped out.

As she walked, she said, "I can write in my diary again today."

But when she looked up and saw strangers in front of her, she instinctively wanted to scream.

How could others appear in a place like this? What were the guards doing?

Several questions flashed through her mind, but the opportunity to scream was gone.

Lin Ye reacted quickly, rushing forward and covering the woman's mouth. He hit the back of her head with the gun in his hand, making her unconscious.

This woman, Lin Ye knew, could not die now. It would be more troublesome if the Palace Guard were alerted and on high alert for some time in the future.

Even though they didn't know when Night Raid would receive the mission about this noble family, it wouldn't be long.

Therefore, the noble family's defense would cause deviations in the subsequent plot.

Of course, Lin Ye also understood that what they did today had made the world's future unknown.

Even so, before they gained overwhelming power, all they had was an understanding of the plot.

"Why not kill her?"

Although Akame didn't know what Lin Ye and the others wanted to do, when the girl opened the door, the smell of blood hitting her had already made her understand what this woman had done.

Even if she hadn't done it herself, her participation was indispensable.

Such people should be killed.

If not, more innocent people would only die at her hands in the future.

Akame didn't believe that the people inside were criminals. Even criminals shouldn't be killed by nobles who had no right to execute them.

"At least she can't die now."

Lin Ye shook his head helplessly. He didn't care if Akame understood him, but too much explanation was not allowed.

At a minimum, he wanted Akame not to stop them.

Of course, the best outcome would be Akame understanding and accepting it, but... that was too difficult.

Even if they were partners or even a couple, without communication in the face of such things, conflicts of thought would likely arise.

Not to mention a group of people who had only known Night Raid for less than a week.

Entering the room, fortunately, Lin Ye had planned to wear a gas mask, so the disturbing smell wasn't too strong. However, under the flashlight's illumination, every place he scanned was filled with human corpses.

Many limbs and legs were missing, all bruised, and some were even grafted with dangerous species parts.

Although mentally prepared, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel nauseous when faced with this scene. Stomach acid reached his throat, and he forcibly swallowed it back.

If he vomited, he would have to remove the gas mask. Because the breathing hole would be blocked by foreign objects. Similarly, if he removed the mask, he would be surrounded by the smell of blood and decay.

Everyone was shocked by the scene, and the other soldiers' eyes were filled with anger.

They grew up in a civilized society. Even if there was such a thing as murder, a bloody scene of abuse like this could no longer be described as 'excessive'.

They were soldiers, but they were also human. Because of the abuse of their fellow humans, unmatched anger arose in their hearts.

On the surface, human experimentation was strictly prohibited, but privately, no one knew what it was like.

However, facing the initial plan, they only decided to take revenge on this family later.

The damned people would never escape.

So this was also the benefit of strict discipline. Facing this scene, everyone wanted to kill someone to vent their anger, but in the face of military discipline, all the soldiers held it back.

But if it were a Night Raid operation, it obviously wouldn't be possible.

Akame only held Murasame tightly, but she remembered what Lin Ye had said before, and in the end, she could only cancel her plan.

After all, she was an assassin trained by the Empire, and she had seen similar scenes before.

"Find the task target and collect relevant evidence."

Less than a minute after giving the order, Lin Ye found the girl in a cage. At this moment, the girl at least looked okay. Every part of her body was still intact, but her fair skin was now covered in stains, and her body was also filled with blood-red scars.

"Sayo, right?"

Lin Ye's tone made Sayo, who had been tortured for several days, reluctantly open her eyes.

"Who are you?"

The girl's voice was full of exhaustion. Her eyes were full of vigilance against the stranger.

Because she trusted a noble, she and Ieyasu experienced such abuse.

"Sorry, we are late. We will save you. Please try your best not to speak now." Facing such a girl, Lin Ye's heart was full of sympathy.

If he remembered correctly, this girl faced a series of tortures and didn't give up until her death. She was only 16 years old. According to Chinese standards, she was still a minor.

Such a strong girl would indeed make people feel sorry.

Noble qualities can always be appreciated.

Moreover, being able to save her now might be the first change for him and others when they came to this world!

It's just that this cruel world wanted to welcome a day full of vitality and hope, but it was unknown how long it would take.

Ieyasu clearly lasted several days in the anime. Why did this guy commit suicide when he heard they would save Sayu after they arrived here?

He seemed very afraid that he would drag Sayu down.

Even if they suffered from an unknown virus, their medical care might save them, but they weren't even given this chance and met a dead end.

As for taking his body back for study, the only choice was to take it and bury it.

After all, they didn't have the ability to resurrect the dead. Or after another door in that mysterious space opened, a way to save the dead might be found.
