Chapter 406 Tatsumi: Who can save my friends! ?
"This situation is different from all other imperial tools. How strange?"

Brand frowned and told everyone in the Night Raid group about his doubts.

No one else responded.

Leone's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Being able to master two imperial tools at the same time, and do it with ease, is just like the game merchant I met!"

At the beginning, Fang Yi demonstrated two completely different abilities, and it looked very easy.

Brand’s current situation is particularly similar.

Brand walked up to Tatsumi and asked with a serious face, "Boy, do you know where this sword came from?"

"It was our entire village that pooled our money to forge the fine steel dagger for me. Return it to me now!"

Even Chi Tong, who almost killed him, was easily defeated by Brand.

Tatsumi understood how powerful the opponent was, but he still looked indifferent, guarding the warehouse door like a red-backed shrike stuck in the ground.

"No way."

Brand shook his head and said, "The blessed dagger is a special tool that not only has the strength of an imperial weapon, but also can get rid of the side effects of an imperial weapon. How could it be a weapon that an ordinary blacksmith can forge?"

Judging from Tatsumi's attire, the village is probably not wealthy.

Not to mention him, even if it was a minister in the imperial capital, it would be difficult to forge such a special product if they gathered the power of the entire country.

After all, an emperor had tried it before, but he only forged a ministerial tool.

Tatsumi said in a cold tone: "I am not a night raider who kills innocent people indiscriminately. I will not lie. This dagger costs exactly nine gold coins, which is the money everyone has saved for half a year!"

Just as he finished speaking, he noticed two words Brand said.

bless?

Suddenly I remembered that when I parted with Mr. Fang Yi, he seemed to pick up a dagger and said it was a blessing for me.

Immediately afterwards, I felt that my body seemed to become stronger.

There was also the swordsmanship in the fight with Akame, and the powerful force that erupted when he broke free from Akame's sneak attack on the armored man...

Obviously, the dagger attracted Ye Xiu's attention, and it was most likely related to Mr. Fang Yi.

no,

He couldn't admit it, and he couldn't implicate Mr. Fang Yi, otherwise this group of bloodthirsty killers would definitely kill him to silence him.

Thinking of this, Tatsumi turned his head away as if nothing had happened.
just,

Tatsumi is a simple and naive country boy. His expression of concealing his true intention seems to be saying, I have thought of the key information, come and torture me.

"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"

Akame approached with the demon sword in hand and placed it on Tatsumi's neck.

Tatsumi's face turned pale.
The cold touch of the blade against his skin made his breathing quicken, but even so, he remained silent.

Brand grabbed Akame's arm and shook his head slightly, signaling her to put down the sword and not scare Tatsumi.

The demon sword cuts the throat with one blow.

If I accidentally kill Tatsumi, this kind-hearted and stupid boy, I would feel really guilty.

"Young man, the darkness of the imperial capital is often disguised as a layer of glory."

Brand's face was solemn. He grabbed the red-backed shrike, gripped the spear tightly, leaned back slightly, and then threw it out fiercely.

Boom.

The warehouse door, made of thick steel plates and rivet structure, was pierced by the red-backed shrike thrown out.

Alia's panicked screams were heard from the warehouse.

Before Tatsumi could react,
Brand walked to the hole pierced by the red-backed shrike, grasped the edge of the curled steel plate with both arms, and easily tore a crack in the steel door for people to pass through, just like a brown bear tearing a beehive.

goooo...

Tatsumi swallowed.

To be honest, the villagers would not spend their savings to forge a dagger for no reason. The reason they were willing to do so was because he was already a rare swordsman in the village.

It shoulders the villagers' hope of getting rid of poverty.

Tatsumi was also very confident in his strength, and he easily hunted down several dangerous species along the way.

However, compared to the armored man who tore the steel door apart with his bare hands, it felt like an immature wolf cub meeting the wolf king.

With such strength, he chose to be a killer instead of thinking about serving the country.

what a pity.

Thinking of this, Brand's impression in Tatsumi's heart became even worse.

"Come in, I really don't want to say this, but... welcome to the real imperial capital!"

Brand sighed, walked into the warehouse, and motioned for Tatsumi to follow him.

Tatsumi couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to say, but seeing the fierce look in Akagi's eyes behind him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the warehouse.

As soon as I stepped in, a rotten stench hit me in the face.

In the hot and dim warehouse, black shadows covered in blood were hanging upside down.

Tatsumi's first reaction was

This is the warehouse where Alia's family stores meat, but when his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, he suddenly froze.

"Is this... a human?" Tatsumi's eyes widened and his mind felt dizzy.

There were hundreds of hung black shadows, all of whom were people who had died in various tragic ways. There were horrifying iron tools placed on the iron table, which were obviously the torture instruments used to torture them.

"The Alia family appears to be kind and wealthy, but in fact they are twisted and dark inside. They often abduct young people who have just arrived in the imperial capital, lock them up in warehouses and torture them..."

Main looked at Tatsumi with pity.
If Night Raid had not been launched early, Tatsumi would probably have become one of these hooks.

"Tatsumi, hurry...quickly stop them!"

Alia was hiding in the corner, her eyes filled with fear, and she kept looking for objects to cover herself.

Tatsumi didn't say anything.
He just stared blankly at the dark shadow in the center of the warehouse, with his hands handcuffed with wooden shackles and hanging from the ceiling.

She is a girl of similar age to Tatsumi.

Now he has become a corpse, with knife wounds, burns, bruises from being hit by a hammer, and broken limbs.

"Sayu?!"

Tatsumi's voice trembled and he fell to his knees unconsciously.

The corpse of the girl in front of him was his long-lost companion and childhood sweetheart from the same village.

The long black hair that the girl was once proud of was now covered in all kinds of dirty liquids, corroded like a bird's nest, and large chunks of scalp were peeled off...

Ma Yin said with disdain: "This is the person you want to protect, but a sadistic family from a dark corner of the imperial capital!"

"No... they're talking nonsense!"

Alia also knew that all the guards were killed and now only Tatsumi was left, and the truth could not be discovered by the other party.

She showed a weak and pitiful look and defended herself, "I don't know the situation here at all. It has nothing to do with me. Have you forgotten that I took you in, Brother Tatsumi?"

"Tatsumi..."

A weak voice was heard from the dark cage.

Tatsumi pushed open the steel door, and the moonlight poured in, illuminating the figure of the person speaking.

"Yas?!"

Tatsumi's throat tightened and he looked at his caged companion in disbelief.

Yas was covered in wounds, unlike Sayu's.
His injuries looked more like some kind of viral infection, his skin was ulcerated and emitting a pungent stench.

Tatsumi showed no disgust, he kicked open the cell, carried Yas to the moonlight and let him breathe fresh air.

"It's Alia, she... is a demon!"

"She was the one who tortured Sayu, pulling out Sayu's hair one by one, and cutting off Sayu's scalp..."

"I was also injected with the virus and treated like livestock so they could observe how the virus would react in the body."

"It's so painful..."

"It's a good thing you're okay, Tatsumi."

My companion gasped for breath, breathing the long-lost fresh air. The virus broke out completely in his body, constantly tormenting his nerves.

Marin grabbed the demon lady by the collar and threw her outside the warehouse, sneering, "Do you still want to lie?"

Seeing that things have come to this,

Desperate Alia tore off her disguise and said angrily: "I did nothing wrong. You lowly people are just like livestock. I just killed two livestock. Even the officials of the imperial capital would not punish me. Why do you do that?!"

Tatsumi remained silent, walked to Brand and took his steel dagger.

puff!
A knife chopped down,

The knife mark started from the shoulder and extended all the way to the abdomen, directly cutting Alia in half while she was still cursing madly.

Bangdang...

The steel dagger fell to the ground.

Tatsumi held his companion's hand, feeling his gradually cooling body temperature and his body twitching from the virus.

Tears rolled down like raindrops,

"Yas, don't die, Yas!"

"Who... who can save Yas?!"

Tatsumi hugged his companion and let out a hoarse cry.

The Night Raid crowd stood silently aside.
No one said a word.

There is no antidote for the virus injected by Alia, and the person will go through a very painful process and eventually die.

Healing imperial weapons are extremely rare.

Moreover, judging from the current condition of Tatsumi's companion, his body functions have completely failed and he is only breathing his last breath.

Even if there really is a healing imperial weapon, it certainly can't save him.

Life and death,

Ye Xi had been through too much, and could only wish that the young man could extricate himself from the grief as soon as possible.

"Tazmi."

A voice suddenly sounded.
