I'm afraid these two might cause some trouble if they team up next...

"Is this all you wanted to ask?" Lubbock patted Luye on the shoulder. "Don't worry, the mission was a complete success!"

“But I’m still a little curious about who this Oja you mentioned is.” Leone leaned back on the sofa, hands behind her head. “We’re short-handed right now. If that guy is in the same boat as us, maybe we can recruit him?”

"I'll try my best. By the way, Esdeath has already returned to the city."

"what?"

"Esdeath is back?"

Leone and Lubbock couldn't sit still any longer.

“Yes, it must have happened before dawn this morning,” Lu Ye said. “Because it was an emergency recall, she took a small group of people back to the capital to pay homage to the emperor, so it didn’t cause too much of a stir. I only found out about it through the garrison.”

“This is troublesome.” Lubbock frowned. “That woman is a madwoman!”

"Oh, how so?"

“You haven’t been in the capital for long, so you don’t know yet,” Lubbock said. “Esdeath is a ruthless character who buried 400,000 prisoners alive on a whim! If she returns to the capital, we’re probably in for a tough time.”

In contrast to Lubbock, who was afraid, Leone was eager to try.

"Although I've never met her in person, since she's hailed as the strongest in the empire, her strength must be considerable. I really want to have a go at her!"

“Let’s proceed with caution from now on,” Lu Ye said. “Patrols and security have been much tighter lately. I’ll get a new patrol route as soon as possible. Until then, please don’t make any rash moves.”

"I understand, I'll pass it on to the boss!" Lubbock assured him. "By the way, you've looked terrible ever since you came in. What happened?"

"Yes, yes, I care about it too, sister!"

Lu Ye paused for a moment, then sighed.

"It's a long story, but to make a long story short, let's not go into it."

……

A few minutes later, Lu Ye walked out of the bookstore.

As soon as they stepped outside, Seria approached them and asked very enthusiastically:

"So, did you manage to buy the book you wanted?"

"I got it."

Lu Ye held up the book in his hand: "On How a Simp is Made".

He had spent a lot of effort persuading Seleu not to go in with him.

"I didn't know you were interested in dogs, but I prefer Little Bi to dogs."

Lu Ye's face fell, and she didn't answer.

"By the way, Lu Ye, are you hungry? We'll be patrolling late today. How about we go to the restaurant on the corner when we take a break? The food there is really good, Xiao Bi and I both love it!"

Lu Ye's face fell, and she didn't answer.

"Are you adjusting well to your work in the security team? Is there anything you don't understand that you can ask me? Actually, I have a lot of experience in interrogation and arresting criminals, but I generally don't take criminals back... I will correct this in the future. I will sentence them properly and won't kill them easily!"

Lu Ye's face fell, and she didn't answer.

"By the way, I'm planning to clean up those guys who colluded with Captain Oujia in the next few days. Do you want to come?"

Lu Ye still did not answer.

Despite this, Seryu still clung to Luye, chuckling, her eyes filled with...admiration?

Lu Ye was a little confused. Given the kiss last night, he felt that this girl might like him a little.

She clung to Lu Ye the whole time, almost to the point of hugging his arm.

To be honest, he was a little smug at first.

After being single for so many years, I finally have a girl pursuing me.

But... I can't take it!

If I had to describe it, Seleu is like a bee, beautiful and hardworking, buzzing around you, but when you're really sleepy and want to go to sleep, you find a constant buzzing in your ears, and then you turn on the light and see...

Oh my god! Mosquitoes!

It's a bit much to compare a pretty girl to a mosquito.

But... it's very fitting.

She's being way too enthusiastic, girl. Aren't you tired?

I've been bothered by this since I started going to work this morning, and it's still going on now.

From upholding justice to basic necessities like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, there was nothing Seleu wouldn't discuss.

Lu Ye thought that the reason Lubbock said he looked unwell was probably because of Seleu.

My silence before wasn't because I didn't want to talk to Seryu... well, that was partly true.

But the main reason is that dealing with this guy is really tiring.

But he just couldn't get angry.

Because Seria already had a deep trust in him.

He was just one step away from winning her over.

It feels like you're about to win over your girlfriend, just waiting for the right moment to confess your feelings. If you yell "You slut, get out of here!" at that moment, even if she doesn't block you, the relationship will quickly deteriorate!

Chapter 192 Reveals Identity

The patrol mission did not end until evening.

Luye and Seleu changed out of their guard uniforms and took a walk along the canal.

This request was made by Seleucus.

Because she said it was a very important matter, Lu Ye did not refuse.

Perhaps she was tired, she was much quieter than during the day, occasionally talking to Lu Ye about her daily life.

Seleu's life was very monotonous.

Aside from resting, the thing she did most was maintain order in the capital city on the streets.

Even on holidays, she would voluntarily patrol the streets to see if there were any crimes or if anyone needed help.

Sometimes Lu Ye felt sorry for this guy.

He witnessed the horrific murder of his family members at a young age and was unknowingly raised by his father's killer, which led to his distorted personality becoming strange.

However, compared to those killed by Seleucus, she wasn't in such a terrible state.

Robbers and murderers are one thing.

It's hard to accept that someone would be sentenced to death for such a trivial matter.

I imagine those guys would be holding up signs and crying out for justice from the afterlife, right?

"So, is there anything you want to tell me, Senior Seryu?" Lu Ye asked.

“About this…” Seryu stopped in her tracks. “This is really important to me. Can I trust you?”

"trust……?"

“Well, I’ve thought a lot since last night,” Seryu said. “I’ve been kept in the dark by Oja all this time. Although I think I’m doing the right thing, I might have done bad things too. I’ve been used by Oja to kill a lot of innocent people. In that case, I’m guilty too. So I’m thinking about whether I should punish myself.”

Lu Ye remained silent.

It seems that Seria has finally realized her own problem.

The ancients said, "Do not do evil even if it is small," and Seleuth truly embodied this saying when it came to evil.

Although the sentence was too harsh, even if we take a step back, the person she killed was indeed someone who had done something wrong.

However, she has also obeyed Oja's orders to kill or capture certain people.

For her at the time, Oujia was someone she could absolutely trust, someone who represented justice in her heart.

But now it's different.

After discovering the truth and Oujia's true colors, she became somewhat bewildered.

Among those she arrested, some were innocent, substitutes used by Oja as scapegoats for Gamal.

In doing so, she also committed a bad deed.

So, should I commit suicide?

This is what Seleu is thinking about right now.

She was serious.

She has never shown any mercy to evil.

Since he acted as an accomplice to evil and indirectly harmed innocent people, then death was a deserved end.

If one is lenient with oneself, it only shows that the "justice" in one's heart is just an excuse to kill indiscriminately.

From this perspective, it seems we can start to deceive people.

"Captain Seryu, you mean you want to...?"

“Yes, I think so.” Seleu looked down at the shimmering river surface in the setting sun. “If it’s alright, I would like to ask you to kill me.”

Is entrusting your life to someone else really 'trust'?

“Yes, it’s not that I can’t bring myself to commit suicide,” Seryu looked at Lu Ye with a shy smile. “I just think that if I could die at the hands of someone I like, that would be the best thing ever. To be honest, I’ve never been in a relationship before.”

Seeing Lu Ye remain silent, Seryu felt she might be causing him trouble, so she quickly added.

"It's fine if you want to refuse. This was originally my selfish request. Compared to those I killed, my request is probably a luxury. I didn't even hear their last words when they were killed..."

Lu Ye stared at her and asked.

"So, has the date been decided?"

"Probably tonight. I'll choose to do it in the suburbs because I don't want to cause trouble for others." Seryu gently stroked the head of the little guy in her arms. "That way, my body will be eaten by the dangerous species, and I won't have to worry about scaring passersby. The only thing I can't let go of is the little guy. After I die, it will fall into a deep sleep again, right? I hope its next owner will treat it well."

Little Bi whimpered and buried her head in Selyu's arms.
