Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Niu's head is gone.

Not only was Livaz's right leg cut off, but his heart was also smashed.

Lu Ye thought to herself, "Really, who is so ruthless? They should have done it cleanly and efficiently!"

Being next to Esdeath now is like being next to a bomb that could explode at any moment, it's terrifying.

This isn't because Lu Ye is too cowardly to the point of having delusions in his mind.

There is evidence to support his belief.

Right now, the evidence was right behind him, in that completely frozen-up outpost…

Not only the stronghold, but the entire area within a radius of over 100 meters was frozen solid.

The hunter squad had slunk away an hour earlier after reporting the situation.

They must be embarrassed to have messed up their first mission.

Lu Ye didn't care about losing face, after all, he was the one who leaked the information...

He hadn't originally planned to come, but the garrison had received the latest intelligence from the Dragon Boat side, namely the autopsy results of the Three Beast Warriors... He had to report this to his superior.

But he had to stay there until Esdeath told him to leave.

The surrounding temperature was probably around minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius.

Not only my clothes, but even my face was covered in ice crystals...

Although Lu Ye knew that historically, those who betrayed information and acted as traitors usually did not have a good ending.

But it would be too frustrating to freeze to death.

Violet... what are you doing right now?

Your husband is about to freeze to death.

My assessment of Chapter 246 is—

After a while, the ice disappeared, and the surrounding temperature began to gradually rise.

Esdeath gripped the cold railing with both hands, gazing down at the bustling night view.

"Have their bodies been properly disposed of?"

“In the cemetery in the southern suburbs.” As Lu Ye spoke, his breath turned into white mist.

Esdeath turned around, tugged at the brim of her hat, and covered her icy blue eyes.

"Looks like we won't be able to drink juice together. But there's nothing we can do about it. They lost, which means they were too weak. It's only natural for the weak to be eliminated."

Lu Ye didn't speak.

It seems that Esdeath's affection for her subordinates was limited to the time when they were still alive.

After they die, the only concern they receive is whether their bodies have been properly disposed of.

However, Esdeath's next words overturned his idea.

“What a helpless bunch of subordinates… I’ll have to avenge you.” Esdeath looked at Lu Ye. “This mission was a complete failure. What’s your opinion?”

"The enemy's strength is probably quite strong... We've not only lost three comrades, but also three Imperial Arms. This is a heavy blow to us." As Lu Ye said this, he felt his heart rate rise slightly.

That was a heavy blow... der!

If nothing unexpected happens, the three Imperial Arms of the Three Beasts should now be in the hands of the Night Raid Squad.

Maybe there's something I can use inside!

“That’s not what I wanted to ask… but never mind,” Esdeath continued, following Lu Ye’s words. “Leaving aside the losses for now, there were some irregularities in this mission. The dragon ship set sail around noon, and the passengers on board were knocked unconscious by Niu’s Teigu around 5 p.m. The ship returned around 7 p.m.… In other words, the three beast warriors were killed within those two hours.”

"What does the captain mean...?"

"In other words, from the moment the ship set sail until the battle at dusk, the Night Raid and the Three Beasts remained at peace." Esdeath gently stroked her chin as she analyzed, "The Three Beasts had infiltrated the dragon ship beforehand, waiting for the Night Raid to arrive, but several hours passed without incident, proving that they hadn't been there. This means that the battle was most likely initiated by Neu, who, unable to wait for the Night Raid, launched an indiscriminate attack with her Imperial Arms to confirm whether the assassins were on the ship. Then the Night Raid appeared, and after a battle, the Three Beasts were killed."

"Is there a problem?" Lu Ye asked.

“I just find it strange,” Esdeath said. “Riva’s Teigu can manipulate water, and there aren’t many people who can defeat him on the sea. That’s why I sent him on the Dragon Ship mission. If their failure can be attributed to the opponent being too strong and themselves being too weak, then the other side’s failure shouldn’t be an excuse. Will and his group didn’t engage in battle. The enemy secretly took away the civil servant during the shift change, and their timing was absolutely flawless… as if they knew our plan in advance.”

Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat.

On his way here from the guard post, he learned what had happened from Lubbock.

Just as Esdeath had guessed, things were pretty much as expected.

This woman is really perceptive; she should just change her name to Detective Esdeath!

"Then... Captain, do you suspect there's a traitor among us?" Lu Ye asked cautiously.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out, but perhaps the other party has a Teigu with a strong intelligence-gathering ability. For example, Zank the Decapitator's Teigu has the ability to read people's minds. It is an extremely powerful Teigu, which is why the minister has been trying to retrieve it."

"Then... should I help keep an eye on the team's situation?" Lu Ye blinked and asked tentatively.

This move is a strategic demonstration of their loyalty.

Just like a criminal reporting a crime, it's a way to try to clear oneself of suspicion.

“No need. I already reviewed your files before you joined,” Esdeath said. “You have no reason to do so. In any case, those assassins taught us a lesson this time.”

“I have a question, Captain,” Lu Ye said.

"explain."

"Since you're so skilled, why don't you take action yourself?" Lu Ye said. "If it were you, dealing with the assassins on the dragon ship would be quite easy, wouldn't it?"

“That’s true,” Esdeath said. “However, the information about the Hunter squad hasn’t been released yet, so I’m the only one who can act as bait, and besides…”

"and?"

"You haven't answered my question yet. This mission was a complete failure. What's your take on it?"

Esdeath closed in on Lu Ye, the distance between them suddenly shrinking. The sudden rush startled Lu Ye, who involuntarily took two steps back, his back almost touching the carved railing. He wondered if his undercover identity had been exposed, and almost drew his Mortal Blade.

"When you asked me that question, did you think I had failed in my duty?" Esdeath asked.

Lu Ye then realized what was happening.

The so-called "how to view" refers to how one views Esdeath.

Hey, it's just that things went wrong and I'm trying to salvage the situation in front of my subordinates!

He understands!

I've been in those praise groups before, haven't I at least seen pigs run even if I haven't eaten pork?

Just as he was mentally trying to figure out how to praise the woman, his eyes met Esdeath's.

Then he froze.

Because Esdeath's eyes were serious.

She wasn't trying to save face because she messed up the mission.

Lu Ye could tell that she genuinely cared about his opinion of her.

But...why?

Why should I care about that? Is my opinion that important? Can't the other members of the Hunter Squad have it too?

Do you think the military in the capital city still conducts evaluations and assessments?

Lu Ye was completely bewildered.

He does know a little bit about praising people.

But if we really have to evaluate a person...

Please, we've only known each other for a short time.

If I really had to give an evaluation, my evaluation would be—to send.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ye slowly spoke.

"Captain, if it's just first impressions, how should I put it, I think you're very beautiful, intelligent, and have a very cheerful personality..."

Is this your true thought?

Esdeath's gaze softened, and she took another step closer.

"So, even if you know what I've done, you're not afraid of me or hate me?"

"Of course I don't hate it, and I'm not afraid at all."

Lu Ye took a step back, thinking to himself, "We're really not that close. Who wants to hear your stories? If possible, I don't want to have anything to do with you."

"Then let me ask you again, do you have a wife?" Esdeath took another step forward.

Lu Ye had nowhere to retreat, but faced with this question, he began to feel—wasn't something wrong?

Chapter 247 A Sudden Kiss

An absurd idea flashed through Lu Ye's mind, but he quickly dismissed it as wet garbage.

Please, I'm not some melodramatic romance novel protagonist, how could such a thing happen?

Although he didn't know what Esdeath was up to, Lu Ye still answered honestly, "I don't have a wife, but... um!!"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Esdeath then covered his mouth with a kiss.

Lu Ye's pupils dilated as if an earthquake had struck.

If it were in the past, he would definitely have thought that his luck with women had turned around.

But now, all he can think about is "Violet, I'm not clean anymore, waaaaah..."

After a brief mental freeze, Lu Ye came to his senses and tried to push Esdeath away.

But he failed. Esdeath held him tightly around the waist, leaving him no room to escape, like a fierce tiger that would never let go once it had its prey in its jaws.

She kissed Lu Ye passionately, making no attempt to hide her feelings and overwhelming love.

At the same time, Esdeath's heart was beating very fast, and every gulp in her mouth seemed to electrify her brain.
