Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Chapter 173: Conditions for Joining Night Raid?

"Wow, good reaction, you recognized it so quickly!"

Leone was very satisfied with Lu Ye's performance. "But how long are you going to keep holding him?"

Lu Ye slowly lowered the knife.

What to say.

However, I can only say these words in my heart; at least for now, I need to maintain my calm demeanor.

"I heard that the Night Raid organization specializes in killing wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials, so why did they come after me?" Lu Ye said.

First, it's important to understand why the night raid targeted you.

Moreover, the two people in front of us do not seem to be showing any obvious hostility.

Lu Ye had already sensed that Leone hadn't used her full strength.

From the moment she arrived at the hotel, everything she did was to lure herself to this place, where no one would disturb her or discover her.

"Please add qualifiers: evildoers, high-ranking officials, and wealthy businessmen," Leone corrected.

"Simply put, we want you to join us," Akame said.

"That's right, congratulations on joining Night Raid!" Leone gave a hearty smile.

"what?"

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, but in the end, he couldn't hold back.

How did it turn out like this?

Night Raid is a terrorist organization that operates in the capital at night.

My current identity is nothing more than a country bumpkin from the countryside.

The two should have been completely unrelated.

what happened?

But after a few seconds, he seemed to understand.

Night Raid is a terrorist organization operating in the capital.

To paraphrase Leona's correction, it's... specifically for killing evildoers.

It seems that Arya's family's deeds must have caught the attention of the Night Raid organization.

However, before they could even make a move, Arya's family was dealt with by herself...

After that, Leone approached him...

So, these guys are after my business skills?

Damn it!!

Can I refuse?

Lu Ye held the knife in both hands and assumed a fighting stance.

Although he verbally refused, he was already prepared for battle.

He had already seen the faces of the Night Raid members. If he didn't join, either he would die, or Akame and Leone would die.

Although he would feel guilty about killing the girl, Lu Ye would never hesitate when it came to actually doing it.

"Well... judging from the current situation, you have no room to refuse."

As the girl named Akame spoke, she slowly drew the sword from her waist.

The knife instantly caught Lu Ye's attention.

With just one glance, Lu Ye realized that it was the "Cursed Blade," which was similar in nature to the Mortal Blade.

The reason why is that the miasma emanating from the Tear of Worship in his hand is strikingly similar to the "aura" of that knife.

"What, you recognize it?" Akame said. "It's called 'Murasame,' it's my Teigu. If you're slashed by it, the wound will be infected with a cursed poison that will kill you quickly. There's no antidote. It's a Teigu specifically forged to kill people."

Lu Ye was stunned. This sword was actually an Imperial Arms?

But putting that aside for now, girl, your awareness of defense is very weak. You actually just blurted out the abilities of your Imperial Arm like that.

“I don’t intend to fight you,” Akame said. “But if you insist on making a move, I won’t be afraid.”

“Wait a minute, Akame, don’t be in such a hurry,” Leone said. “Young man, joining us is the best choice for you.”

What does that mean?

“You said before that those two kids would report you to the police and then lie about your appearance, right?” Leone said. “In principle, that’s feasible, but don’t forget that there are things like Imperial Arms that are beyond the realm of reason.”

"Teigu..."

“That’s right, the Imperial Capital’s security forces are equipped with Imperial Arms,” Leone said seriously. “That’s why the current minister is able to quickly gather intelligence, strike at his political enemies, and turn the current government and the country into his possession.”

Akame glanced at her: "Leone..."

"Young man, what brings you to the capital?"

"If I had to say... it's money, isn't it?"

Without much thought, Lu Ye simply adopted the ideas of Iyeas and Shayou.

Although I have doubts about the claim that the guards are equipped with Teigu, let's just listen to her for now.

"So, in your opinion, what kind of place is the capital?" Leone asked.

"I'm new here, so I can't really give an evaluation, but I do think it's very big."

"Then let me tell you. People like Arya are numerous in the capital. It's a country rotten to the core. Our existence is to overthrow the empire's brutal rule."

What is this supposed to mean, playing the righteousness card?

To be honest, although Lu Ye felt sympathy for the people of the capital...

Normally, he would do everything he could to help these people.

But his own world is currently facing the threat of a meteorite.

“You just said you wanted to get ahead, but I can tell you definitively that in the capital, the path to advancement is blocked.” Leone’s expression was serious. “To climb up, you need to use all sorts of connections and a lot of money to pave that way. Those entrenched in high positions will cling to you like vampires, draining every last drop of value from you, unless…”

"unless?"

"Unless you join them and become one of them, but by then, you'll be our target too."

Akame added at that moment, "Our job is to kill those parasites that harm the people, to infiltrate their homes by various means, and to destroy them, but you beat us to it tonight."

Lu Ye's thoughts shifted slightly. Perhaps... he should join the "Night Raid"?

He wasn't moved by what he heard, but rather he came up with a plan that could be described as a win-win situation.

After all, he is still willing to help others at heart, but his current priority is to retrieve the Celestial Spirit fragments.

The previous two time travels have already proven one thing.

That is, when time travels, time in the real world is still flowing.

However, the flow of time is different in the real world and in parallel worlds.

Lu Ye spent nearly a month in the Sekiro world, but only an hour or two passed in the real world.

In the world of Violet Evergarden, Lu Ye spent more than half a year, but only one night to noon had passed.

If we can save the people of the capital while searching for the fragments, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

More importantly, what's inside an assassin organization?

That's right, it's intelligence.

For him, who had just arrived in the capital, quickly gathering intelligence was of paramount importance.

As long as you find the right method, these two are not in conflict.

"If I become one of you, it means I'll also be an assassin, right? I have to kill those evil people."

"That's right, this is our job."

"And what about her?" Lu Ye pointed to Violet behind him.

"Of course, she's also quite skilled; we're short-handed!"

"Alright, I agree, but on one condition."

"what?"

"I want to join the army, the army of the capital."

Chapter 174 Violet's Unique Possessiveness

"Join...the army?"

Akame and Leone were stunned for a moment.

Does he know what he's saying?

Once you join the Imperial Capital Army, you'll have to fight for the Imperial Capital, and you might even be sent to the border.

Under these circumstances, Lu Ye not only offers no help to the "Night Raid" team, but also becomes a threat.

Let's set aside Akame for now, since she was originally a wanted person.

But Leone's identity has not yet been discovered.

If Yi Ye were to expose Leone's identity, she would be in extreme danger.

No matter how you look at it, this is an option that should absolutely not be agreed to.

but……

"Can you explain why?" Leone asked, arms crossed.

She still wanted to hear Lu Ye's reasons.

But what's done is done.

If things develop to the worst possible point, then she will have no choice but to show her true abilities.
