Code: Infinity [Reboot]

Chapter 26 - 'Higher' Level World? More like Higher Entertainment.

On the poster was the face of a person clad in black whose face was hidden in the shadow of the hood. Beneath it was written 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.' with a 'Shadow' word written in bold letters with 5000 gold coins as a reward.

This made 'him' smile a bit but his eyes soon looked at the bodies again.

This scene made Ryo clench his fist and frown deeply as he looked at the scene.

Then taking a deep breath and clenching and unclenching his fist, he walked out of the crowded area and walked away to not waste any more time. It was one of the few times Zero Two had seen such a gruesome scene.

{A/N: Most of Ryo's gory experiments were unknown to Zero Two. The only few times she saw such a gruesome scene were when they were very young and when Ryo tore 'Ayumi's' tongue out.}

It didn't take him long enough for Zero Two to find an inn and book a room for his bit-long stay.

The night fell as the soldiers guarding the wall started to become a bit bored with how they were guarding a place where no one would dare enter, for not at least anytime soon. The Empire has been standing tall and the Revolutionary Army was still weak with very few powerful members.

The Night Raid had just formed and they were yet to make their first raid, making the Empire not so alert.

{A/N: Had a hard time exactly when Night Raid was formed, so AU, I guess? It won't change the 'plot' anyway.}

*Yawn*

A guard yawned as he sat at the chair on the city wall. It had been a long time since he had started to work on this shift but he just can't get used to this schedule.

Before he could react, he felt air flow past him, making him cation up and look for the cause of the gusts of wind.

'Huh? Was it wind? Yeah. That might be.'

With such thoughts, the guard started to doze off again in his position not knowing what kind of monster he might have let in.

'I infiltrated the Imperial City this easily? Looks like I overestimated the powerhouses and the World Will of this world.'

With swift movement, a person clad in black instantly entered the Imperial Capital. Avoiding any bright light, the figure quickly moved through the shadow and quickly reached the inn in which 'Ryo' was living.

Just as he reached the window, the window opened and with a quick grab, the person was quickly pulled into the room. With a quick pull, Ryo hugged the person tightly.

"Darling~! Why did it take you so long!?"

"Hey~ I was looting some people. They got some, you know, a ton of money which they might never use in their life."

Ryo chuckled as he looked at Zero Two who pressed him on the floor, while hugging him over his chest. Chuckling, he rubbed Zero Two's head in awkwardness. Although Zero Two was disguised as him, looking at his face and hugging his body, it felt a bit weird for him.

'If I didn't know for sure who she was, I would have killed her thinking that she was my main personality. I am pretty sure that the 'main personality' is this good at acting.'

Sighing, he kissed Zero Two on the cheeks and broke out of the hug as he walked up to the table in the room and took out some books, a huge locker, and a small scroll with a small seal over it. On the other side, Zero Two followed Ryo to see what he had bought with him.

*Clank*

With a swift slash, Ryo slashed the safe in front of him, causing the outer layer of the safe to instantly cleave into two parts, revealing hundreds of gold coins glittering in the candlelight.
