"I'm fine for the time being. You go to the captain's place first. Sai Liu, you should be needed there."
Ryuga was lying on the bed in the next room. The black lines of the curse were still wandering on his body as if they were trying to kill him.
"I know, deputy captain, you can rest assured to heal your body. I will definitely avenge Kurome and everyone!"
Sai Liu's eyes were burning with hatred and anger. After telling Ryuga for a while, she turned and left the room uneasily.
Until she left, Ryuga breathed a sigh of relief, and the look on his face improved. He was no longer as sick as before.
Murasame's poison really couldn't threaten him. With his habits and vitality as a ghost, except for wisteria poison, there was basically no poison that could make him feel troublesome.
However, the curse of Cursed Blade Murasame did stay in his body. Although it would not affect his life, it also affected his state.
It was actually very simple to get rid of this poison. As long as he abandoned most of his body and used a little bit of his body as a medium to be reborn directly, the curse would be diluted by a hundred times. After repeating several times, the curse would disappear completely. At that time, he could find a few people to suck their blood, and he could completely recover to the peak in a few minutes.
However, he deliberately got poisoned by Murasame's curse in order to deceive Esders. Recovering so quickly was putting the cart before the horse. Grasping the time and recovering a little bit a day was the most suitable.
Anyway, his ability to escape was still there. Even if his identity was exposed, he could easily escape from Esders's eyes. It didn't matter whether his state was good or bad.
With his attainments in runes, combined with the vitality of the ghost, even if he didn't use the means of rebirth, he could recover in ten days to half a month.
As long as he could deceive Esders, this price was not worth mentioning at all.
"Moreover, this state is also good for slacking in the following protection tasks." Ryuga thought.
…
Two days later, the remaining three Jaegers came to the city where the headquarters of Anning Road was located with a seriously injured person.
The headquarters of the Peace Path was located in a large church in the center of the city. The church occupied a radius of nearly a thousand meters, and the surrounding buildings had obvious religious characteristics. Believers walked in and out of the church, presenting a prosperous scene.
In the church, the four of them met the target of their mission, Deputy Bishop Bolick, who was also a spy that the minister had planted in the Peace Association.
This was a man who looked to be in his fifties. He had a brown beard on his chin and obvious wrinkles on his face. He wore a crown and cape that symbolized his status on his head and back. On the surface, he looked kind and benevolent. He chatted and laughed with the believers without showing any arrogance.
After seeing their arrival, he dismissed the believers and attendants and brought them to the private courtyard behind the church.
"Aiya, I didn't expect General Esders to personally come and protect me. That's really reassuring."
Bolick greeted them with a warm smile, nodding and bowing to Esdeath. His face showed a little bit of a low posture.
"It seems that you're quite self-aware of your current situation, Bolick."
Esdeath didn't care about Bolick's eagerness, she just said as if she was referring to something.
"Yes. After all, the number of assassinations I've encountered in the past month has obviously increased. Recently, I've heard that even the famous night raid in the capital has targeted me. I don't know what to do."
Bolick's face showed obvious worry, and then he looked at Esders with a more flattering look.
"So I hope that General Esders can guarantee my safety. Of course, no matter what you say, I'll do my best to satisfy you."
"Humph, forget it."
Esders looked at him with a slightly bored look. "You only need to remember one thing. I'm not in a good mood right now, so before the mission is completed, you'd better behave yourself. Don't act on your own, or I'll kill you before the night raid."
"Yes, yes …"
Bolick's face was slightly stiff, but he quickly nodded and agreed.
To be honest, he did use the power of the Teigu user he cultivated in private to directly abandon the espionage mission of Anning Road and escape secretly.
But before he said this, he was seen through by Esders, and he immediately gave him a warning.
"The night raid's schedule is similar to ours. I'm afraid they will arrive tonight."
Esders said coldly, "Prepare a hidden room for my injured subordinates. Tonight, you stay in the cathedral and don't go out."
"Yes, I understand. This way, please."
Bolick glanced at Ryuga who was sick, and he couldn't help but think that he was unlucky.
He had heard of the rumors of Jaegers, and knew that it was a special police organization composed of a total of seven Teigu users. But he didn't expect that this time, not only half of them were gone, but they also brought a seriously injured person. With only three people left, could they really guarantee his safety?
He secretly doubted and criticized in his mind, but on the surface, he still respectfully arranged a room for Ryuga and let him stay in and rest.
Then, Bolick exposed his nature as a scumbag.
"Lord Bolick, a believer offered a beauty, praying for your blessing."
Someone came to report, and Esders and the other two just heard it.
"Take them to the cathedral, I will pray for them tonight."
Bolick was not embarrassed at all, but he gave an order to his subordinates with a serious face.
There was no need to say more about what the so-called blessing was for.
Esders was indifferent to this. Although Lan's expression changed, she was still silent and did not make any expression. Only Sai Liu showed a very obvious disgust on her face.
"This guy has been doing this kind of thing all the time, right?"
Sai Liu whispered with a voice that only three people could hear, "Is it necessary to protect this kind of scumbag?"
"It depends on the situation. Even scumbags have the value of protection."
Esders looked at Bolick who was smiling coldly, "But even so, if it is not a task, I will never protect this kind of guy."
"Let's not talk about this disappointing guy. You two also have to pay attention. Don't walk alone in the city today, so as not to be targeted by the night attack or the undead."
Esders instructed the two, "Until the evening, you all stay with me in the cathedral. When the night comes, Lan may be on guard for the attack from the sky. Sai Liu, watch Bolick, don't let him escape, and I —"
She raised her eyes that were as cold as glaciers, and there was no emotion in them.
"I will deal with the night attack and the undead myself."
