Chapter 39: The Prime Minister in a Convertible and the Empire's Number One Female Bodyguard

Li Ge's question stumped Valerie, who could only stammer and dare not speak.

"I'm telling you, one of us, Yilian or I, is going to die because Mother bought us a huge insurance policy. Do you know why?" Li Ge formed a triangle with her hands in front of her, her head bowed, her face completely in shadow, only the reflection of her glasses illuminating Valerie.

"One of us, Yilian and I, will definitely die, all to collect insurance money, and to survive. My sister might even be sent to the Datong Church by our mother, becoming someone's harem..."

"Our whole family will become tools for that monster woman to gain power in the Datong Church, until we are completely drained of our last bit of value and become like stray dogs... or perhaps..."

Li Ge paused for a moment, then said, "We erupted in silence, did something that shocked the world, and completely exposed the Great Harmony Sect to the light of day."

Li Ge smiled and said, "This is the end for our family. The destruction of our family and the death of our members is the best outcome. If we hadn't come into this world, this would have been the end for all the children in this family."

"Don't you understand yet? The redemption of 'me' in the mission—this 'me' is not just 'us,' nor just this family, but the redemption needed by countless 'me's, millions of 'me's' who have been ruined by the heretical cult," Li Ge said in the end.

At this moment, Valerie had completely shrunk her neck, looking like she was saying, "Stop scolding me, stop scolding me, you're going to drive the child crazy."

She simply felt that there might still be some people worth saving.

"Slap." Li Ge patted her on the shoulder, not blaming her, but smiling instead, "Don't blame yourself, kindness is a good thing. I actually hope you will always be kind. After all, the three of us old cunning guys are all a bit dark-hearted. Having you here can remind us not to go too far sometimes."

Ripple and Xiaoye: "..."

Well, the three of them are indeed ruthless, one after another. Although this is only directed at enemies and damned people, it's a good thing that their squad leader has someone who can keep them in check and prevent them from going to extremes.

Otherwise, if ruthlessness and scheming become a habit, they might do even worse things, even if their ruthlessness and scheming are all for the sake of doing good.

"Yilian, don't let any of the higher-ups and middle-level members go. As for the ordinary members..." Li Ge thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, release their doctrines and hymns and make them leave the church. Let those who know to run away at that time go. As for those who still stay, they are beyond saving."

Li Ge said.

"OK!" Yilian immediately understood.

While this method might let some bad guys go free, they are just passing through this world, and this is the best that can be done.

Thus, the plan to assassinate the emperor and purge the church was finally finalized.

After a night of intelligence gathering and discussion, they finally reached a consensus. The sky was beginning to lighten, and it was already the second day.

"I'll make you some breakfast, even if it's very simple, but I'll make you more delicious food after I successfully return to school," Li Ge said with a smile.

"Great! The hot pot last time was really good. After all, we all have very different tastes. If we make the same dish, some people might think it's too salty and some might think it's too bland. Hot pot is just perfect." Valerie was no longer disappointed and said cheerfully.

As dawn broke, the group finished a hot breakfast, prepared their Noble Phantasms, donned their magical armor, cleaned their short swords, and loaded them with ammunition, all in the best possible condition for today's mission.

Li Ge even changed into a simple gray T-shirt, carried a shoulder bag, and wore a mask but with her nose exposed, disguising "Ace Joker" as a camera, the lenses reflecting the luster in the morning light.

"Why did you dress up like this?" Xiaoye asked casually.

"Please, God, possess me!" Li Ge spouted nonsense, then, seeing the girl seemingly wanting to sabotage him, added, "Don't you think this is ordinary enough, unremarkable enough?"

Xiao Ye seemed to choke a little. Li Ge had actually learned to answer first now. She had a mouthful of saliva stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.

"Let's go." Li Ge raised his fist, and the other friends understood. They all stretched out their hands, and the four fists touched together. They smiled at each other.

The sun still rises.

……

The assassination of the emperor and the purge of the church took place almost simultaneously.

However, Yi Lian doesn't need to rush things. It would be best to take action when Li Ge kills the emperor and the church is in chaos.

The emperor's tour was broadcast live in its entirety. All Yilian needed to do was obtain the communication products of this world to watch the live broadcast of the emperor's murder.

Alternatively, one could exploit the chaos within the church and begin taking action.

The goal is to eliminate as many of the church's middle and upper management members as possible within the 30-minute window of uncertainty surrounding the copied individuals' fate.

That is, Li Ge's action served as the signal for action, and the two-pronged operation was completed almost simultaneously.

By this time, the two groups had already separated.

Yilian mimicked the appearance of a "mother," leading Valerie by the hand, just as a fanatical mother brought her daughter to see the Pope.

Yi Lian's mimicry ability is unmatched by anyone else, and she had already instructed Valerie not to speak, just to smile foolishly. This group could easily infiltrate the headquarters of the Great Harmony Cult.

But on the other hand, Li Ge and Xiao Ye were in a bad mood.

"According to the information I obtained online, the emperor will travel along this route in an open-top carriage..." Xiaoye took out a map and drew the route on it.

Several areas in the middle are highlighted in red, with the caption: "Here, His Majesty may pause to give a speech and demonstrate His Majesty's approachability and compassion, walking alongside the people."

Li Ge: "..."

"The empire's top female bodyguard will provide close protection for the emperor, along with two elite bodyguards in a convertible. Other professional bodyguards will form a convoy, creating an extremely tight formation."

Xiaoye took one last look at the intelligence on the "Empire's Number One Female Bodyguard" and said, "This person is very strong. She once single-handedly took down an entire fully armed squad. According to the intelligence, she has never failed. We need a more precise deployment map, or... create a sudden event that forces her to leave the Emperor's side."

Xiaoye murmured.

However, Li Ge's face, covered in sweat and grimacing like a soybean, was barely holding back her tears.

"Don't worry, my outfit is ordinary enough, and not conspicuous enough." Li Ge smiled, shaking his T-shirt and shoulder bag. After all, this was a "spirit possession outfit" that he had specially put together.

And... convertibles, emperors, first female bodyguards, stopping to give speeches...

It seems like all the elements are gathered. If I were one of those mystical, ritualistic types, these elements would probably trigger several mystical rituals.

But now, they are assassins; all is false, all is permitted.

Death has come to collect people.
