Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye couldn't hold back any longer.

Hey!

Why don't you play by the rules?

“Um, Captain Seryu, although this man said the woman cheated him out of his money, we can’t verify if what he said is true!” Lu Ye said hurriedly. “What if he lied to you? Wouldn’t a good citizen have died in vain?”

“Yes, yes, yes! I didn’t cheat him out of his money, he just wanted to rob me!” the woman shouted.

"Liar! You filthy bitch!" the man cursed angrily.

Faced with the two conflicting accounts and Lu Ye's advice, Seryu seemed to gradually calm down, and even her eyes returned to their previous state.

“Indeed, if both of them had committed heinous acts, that would be one thing, but in this situation…”

"It's necessary to take him back to the garrison for a thorough interrogation," Lu Ye suggested.

“Yes, that’s right, let’s leave it to Captain Oja!” Seryu smiled slightly. “He’s very skilled at interrogation!”

Hearing this, Lu Ye finally felt relieved.

They took the man and woman back to the Imperial Capital Garrison, continuing their conversation along the way.

Although he was smiling on the outside, Lu Ye was inwardly cursing.

Damn it.

First, there was Arya, that woman with a heart of stone disguised as a saint, who took pleasure in killing outsiders.

Now it's Seryu again, this guy who's normal most of the time, but becomes extremely paranoid when faced with evil deeds, like he's not fully developed mentally.

Are there any normal people left in Beijing?

Upon returning to the guard post, the man and woman were handed over to the interrogation room.

If the man's statement is true, then both of them will be punished.

But if the man lies, then the woman will naturally be safe and sound.

"Well then, goodbye, see you tomorrow."

Seleu bid farewell to Luye.

With a sigh, Lu Ye turned and walked out of the guardhouse gate.

His work for the day was finished, and it was time for him to return to the Night Raid headquarters.

But he had only taken a few steps out of the gate when he encountered a familiar voice.

—Ou Jia, captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison.

"Oh, getting ready to go back?"

Oujia reeked of alcohol, indicating he had just returned from drinking.

"Yes, Captain, today's work is done. Did you go for a drink?"

"What, you have a problem with that?"

"How could this be..."

"How was your first day at work?"

"Ah, that's great. Everyone in the team is a very nice person and they all take good care of me." Lu Ye said humbly.

“Ha, my team must be united,” Oja said. “Only when we are united can we become stronger. By the way, even though you’ve already left work, come to my office. I have something to tell you.”

Lu Ye nodded and followed.

The top-floor office of the security detail.

This is a luxuriously furnished room, so luxurious it can only be described as opulent.

"How about it?"

"Wow...it's so luxurious!"

“That’s for sure,” Oja said, “but do you know where the money for decorating this place came from?”

Lu Ye shook his head.

“That’s a good connection,” Ou Jia laughed, revealing his two rows of shark teeth. “The salary I get from the capital isn’t enough for me to live a life of luxury, and it can’t cover the high costs of the security force either!”

Lu Ye couldn't help but ask a question.

He knew the connections Ou Jia mentioned; they must have involved various forms of corruption and bribery.

But what about the expenses for the security force?

"Shouldn't the expenses for the garrison be covered by the capital?"

"Ha, you're new to the capital and don't know anything yet, huh? Well then, I'll teach you."

Ou Jia handed Lu Ye a glass of wine and began to speak eloquently.

"The emperor of this country is nothing but a figurehead, a puppet who issues orders. The real power is in the hands of Minister Ernest. A large portion of the funds allocated to various departments in the capital is divided up by him and his cronies. Then, another portion of the allocated funds is divided up by officials who follow Ernest. After being divided up layer by layer, how much of it will end up in our hands?"

"I see……"

“Not bad, you grasp it quickly,” Oja nodded. “You know, I’m currently supporting nearly half of the entire security force’s expenses, but we’re running out of money lately…”

"So you need my help?"

“That’s right, I want you to protect an oil merchant named Gamal,” Oja said, taking a sip of his drink. “That guy is very rich, but he often does illegal and criminal things. In order to get more money from him, I made a deal with him that whenever he commits an unforgivable crime, I will find some scapegoats to die in his place.”

"Death row inmates in prison?" Lu Ye asked tentatively.

"How could there be so many death row inmates?" Oja said irritably. "Most of the time, they just find some unlucky guy, pin a crime on him, and that's it!"

"Is that so... What about the part about protection?" Lu Ye's voice was flat.

"It seems like Gamal is being watched; someone has been monitoring him these days."

"I see, I understand the mission details, but..."

"Just what?"

"What you're saying is all illegal, isn't it? Is it really okay to trust someone who just arrived like this?"

“Haha, do you remember what I said before?” Oja said, “My team must be united. Not all the guys in the team are good people, you’ll find out later. But they’ll be extra lenient with you, the newcomer, because you’re part of us. It’s interests that bind us together. You’re from the countryside, right? You should understand the importance of money. If any of us leaks information, it will affect all of us!”

"That's why I was assigned this task..."

“That’s right. Once you do it, you’ll be involved too. When things are exposed, you’ll suffer.” Ou Jia patted Lu Ye on the shoulder. “But it’s okay. Follow me, and I’ll never treat you unfairly.”

"Yes, Captain!" Lu Ye smiled.

"That's good. By the way, did you see Seleu today?"

"I met him. Senior Seryu is a very nice person."

“That’s right, that girl is a Teigu user just like you. Although she has some flaws in her personality, she is a trustworthy person,” Oja said, a triumphant smile appearing on his face. “It’s not in vain that I’ve devoted so many years to cultivating her.”

"So many years?" Lu Ye asked. "Senior Seryu doesn't look very old. Captain, have you known her for a long time?"

"What, are you interested in Seleu?" Oja asked with a playful expression.

"Please be sure to tell me! I have a very good impression of Senior Seryu!" Lu Ye said.

—Yeah, right!

I was just really interested in why that woman had become so obsessive.

That guy has personality flaws.

If used properly, it might become a good knife.

Therefore, we need to deeply understand her psychology.

The best way to understand a person's psychology is...

It's about investigating her past.

Chapter 182 Mission Release

It was past nine o'clock at night when I came out of Ou Jia's office.

Lu Ye walked down the street, breathing in the slightly chilly air, and then slowly exhaling it from her lungs.

He had learned some things about Seleu from Oja.

Seryu's father was also a member of the Imperial Capital Garrison and was greatly admired by Seryu.

However, when Seleu was eight years old, her father was murdered at home.

The killers were a group of thugs who claimed they were there for revenge.

They were being retaliated against because Seleu's father had recently executed one of them.

Young Seryu escaped murder because her father hid her in a secret compartment under the wardrobe, but she witnessed the entire process of her father being murdered and his body being desecrated through the crack.

From that moment on, hatred for evil was deeply imprinted in her heart.

The person who later adopted her was her father's colleague, Ou Jia.

He taught her swordsmanship, instilled in her a simple and brutal philosophy, and had Seryu interrogate and torture prisoners in jail using various methods, cultivating her ability to kill from a young age, which naturally led to her extremely extreme personality.

In Lu Ye's view, this personality is like a diode, with only two extremes: good and bad.

In Seleu's view, once someone commits an evil deed, that person is deemed guilty and should be punished.

She had no tolerance for anything other than evil deeds; anything evil deserved to be paid for with one's life.

From this perspective, controlling Seryu isn't difficult; it's just that Oja behind her is a bit troublesome.

Without lingering in the capital, Lu Ye embarked directly on his journey back to Night Raid headquarters.

Under the cover of darkness, and to ensure he was not being followed, Lu Ye returned to the forest about ten kilometers north of the capital.

Walking on the road at night, all I could hear was the night wind rustling through the forest and the trees whispering in my ears.

Suddenly, Lu Ye stopped in his tracks.

Because if he went any further, he might fall apart.

Although the road ahead appears harmless, under the moonlight, from a certain angle, one can see extremely fine lines distributed in the woods on both sides of the road, extending and intersecting into a network that eventually covers almost the entire surrounding area.
