It's a lie!
Mine widened her eyes, looking at the scene in front of her, she only felt like she was dreaming.
The emperor is dead?
Minister Earnest is also dead?
General Budo is also dead?
He just died like this?
It was completely different from what Mine imagined. They were so easily killed in front of everyone's eyes, so that Mine felt a little unreal.
"Are you okay, Mine?"
At this time, a voice sounded, Mine turned her head and saw Akame with a cloak appeared beside her, staring at her. The guards who were responsible for guarding Mine and Gill here seemed to have completely lost consciousness at this moment, the weapons in their hands all fell to the ground. Everyone looked at the figure on the high platform as if they were watching a horrible nightmare, they didn't even notice that Akame came to them.
And Akame didn't care about the intention of these guards, she directly pulled out the Cursed Blade Murasame, only to see the sword light flashed, the next moment the chains that bound Mine and Gill were suddenly cut off.
"Thank you, huh … but I still feel a little bit creepy."
After moving her wrist, Mine looked at the Cursed Blade Murasame in Akame's hand. Even if she knew that the curse of the Cursed Blade Murasame had been "killed", the impression over the years still couldn't be changed so quickly.
"It's okay."
"I know, it's just a habit … Gill, are you okay?"
"Well … I'm fine."
Hearing Mine's inquiry, Gill also nodded. At this time, the guards next to them finally noticed that the situation was not right. They turned their heads and looked at Akame and the other two people. However, what Mine expected was that they didn't come up to fight. On the contrary, these guards were stunned for a moment, then screamed, turned around and ran away.
"This …"
Looking at the guards' panicked appearance, Mine was stunned in the same place, she didn't know how to react.
"Oh, oh, they are really panicking."
At the same time, another voice rang out. When they turned around, they saw Chelsey standing beside them with a grin on her face.
"Now the whole arena is in a mess. To be honest, I didn't expect Mr. Fangzheng to be so tough … Come on, your Teigu. Now the person who keeps the Teigu is scared. It is understandable. After all, the emperor and minister Earnest are dead …"
As she said, Chelsy handed the two Teigu on her back to Gill and Mine.
"What's the situation outside?"
At this time, Fangzheng also walked over slowly and asked, while Chelsea giggled.
"It's already a mess, especially in the palace. The situation outside isn't much better. Many people have come out to protest. Moreover, they are very eager for the hero who killed the emperor and the ministers to go out and say a few words to them."
Speaking until here, Chelsea grinned and winked at Fangzheng.
"Don't you want to go out and say something? Who knows, he might even become the emperor. "
"I'm tired of being the emperor, and it's enough to play this kind of trick once. It's boring to play it for the second time."
Fangzheng seemed to have no interest. In fact, the current situation was simply a copy of Xiangyu at that time. At that time, Fangzheng occupied Xianyang, and then Xiangyu came to seize the throne. Now Fangzheng occupied the imperial capital, and he had to face the challenge of Esdeath. Of course, if Fangzheng wanted, he could also kill Esdeath, and then there would be another emperor … But as Fangzheng said, he was tired of being the emperor. Now he was on vacation as an assassin, he should not play the emperor anymore.
"Really? Aren't you afraid that the Revolutionary Army will steal your fruits of victory? "
"If they are not afraid of Esdeath, just come."
For Chelsy's inquiry, Fangzheng was dismissive and snorted. Are you kidding me, Esdeath is not dead yet. Does the Revolutionary Army have the courage to occupy the imperial capital? Do they think that they have lived long enough?
"But I still have to say a few words."
Fangzheng clapped his hands, then jumped up and carried the emperor's body to the high wall. At this time, many people had gathered in the direction of the arena. Many of them had heard the news of the emperor's death, but they couldn't believe it. So even so, they broke through the city gate and came here to confirm this fact with their own eyes.
Then they saw Fangzheng standing on the high wall, and Fangzheng was carrying the emperor's body in his hand.
"The emperor is dead."
Fangzheng casually threw the Emperor's thin body down from the high wall as he watched the crowd gather below. The next moment, the Emperor's tiny body leaped down from the high wall. Then, as though he was bungee jumping, he slumped down.
Looking at the emperor who seemed to be hanged on the wall, the crowd exclaimed.
"Earnest is dead too."
Fangzheng waved his hand, and soon, the second body also hung down.
"Bude is dead too."
With the appearance of the corpses, the crowd exclaimed again and again, and even in the end, the surroundings became dead silent.
"The empire is dead."
Then, Fangzheng opened his hands.
"But this doesn't mean anything. You are still here, still living on this land. The old empire is dead, and the new empire will come. As long as you are still here, then this country will not be destroyed. Remember, the emperor is just a symbol. The power of the symbol is given by the people. Without the people, it will lose its power and meaning. "
Fangzheng lowered his head, but everyone stared at him without saying a word.
"Go back and continue to live as usual. You will find that the world will not stop spinning because of the death of someone. Oh, yes, I have to say one more thing. We are still here. Although we will not ascend the throne and become the emperor, we are still here watching everyone. If any of you want to take this opportunity to kill, rob, commit murder, and do evil, then please remember, we are still watching you."
"… … …"
No one said a word. Soon, the crowd that had gathered gradually dispersed. Their footsteps were very calm and normal. Just as Fangzheng had said, it was as though they had only come for a stroll before returning to their lives. As for Fangzheng, he scanned his surroundings. After the crowd below had all left, he turned around and returned to the arena.
"What next?"
Looking at Fangzheng returning to the arena, Chelsey asked curiously, while Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Just wait for Esdeath to come back, but before that, we seem to have one last problem to deal with."
As he said, Fangzheng looked at the entrance of the arena.
At the same time, two figures were walking out.
"Sister … …"
Hei Tong clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand, staring at Akame with a pale face. Beside her, a girl with red hair and a green dress also held a sharp sword in her hand, looking at the crowd expressionlessly.
"Kurome …"
Looking at her sister, Akame hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, but at this time, Fangzheng stopped her.
"You go to deal with the red-haired one, I will deal with your sister."
"… … I understand."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Akame hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. Then she looked at Kurome, turned around, and walked toward the red-haired woman. Kurome just stared at her sister and walked toward her. But at this time, Fangzheng appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
"Get out of the way."
"Your opponent is me."
Looking at Kurome in front of him, Fangzheng smiled, and Kurome gritted her teeth and raised the Teigu in her hand.
"Get out of the way!"
With an angry roar, Black Pupil suddenly brandished his blade at Fangzheng. However, Fangzheng casually blocked it and deflected Black Pupil's blade.
"Okay, okay, the quarrel between sisters should almost stop here. The emperor is dead, why are you still angry here?"
"Don't be long-winded, what do you know!?"
At this moment, Kurome seemed to have given up on herself. She madly waved the sword at Fangzheng and roared loudly.
"I have been with my sister since I was a child. I don't want anything, I just want to be with my sister. But my sister abandoned me, abandoned the empire! Joined the resistance army! "
"Then why don't you go with your sister."
Fangzheng turned the hidden blade in his hand and blocked Kurome's attack again.
"How can I do that kind of thing?!"
Kurome slashed at Fangzheng again, and shouted at the same time.
"We have eliminated so many enemies for the empire, and so many companions were killed and injured, but my sister completely disregarded all this, betrayed us, betrayed those companions who sacrificed their lives, and betrayed me! I will never, never forgive her! "
"But now it's all over."
However, in the face of such an angry Kurome, Fangzheng added fuel to the fire instead.
"The emperor is dead.
Everything you have protected is also over. I see your companions … Almost all of them are dead, so this is the reason why you came to fight with Akame? "
"Yes, my sister and I, only one can survive!" “
"Haa …"
After listening to Kurome's answer, Fangzheng sighed helplessly.
"Sure enough, you are a kid."
"What did you say!?"
Hearing this, Kurome glared at Fangzheng and emitted a cold murderous aura. However, in the face of Kurome's murderous aura, Fangzheng spread out his hands helplessly.
"When I heard Akame say it, I thought it was something big … But it's just this? Just this? Sigh … Sure enough … Children need to be taught a lesson! "
As soon as his voice fell, the hidden blade in Fangzheng's hand suddenly flashed with a cold light and stabbed at Kurome!
