Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

The trio obediently did as instructed, and a glass of refreshing juice helped alleviate some of their fatigue.

They've been quite busy these past few days investigating this matter.

“Take it slow, let’s start from the beginning,” Lu Ye said. “What exactly happened on your way to investigate?”

The trio exchanged glances, and finally Sha You spoke up: "Instead of letting these two idiots explain the whole story, I'll tell you. After you sent us to investigate the 'miracle medicine,' these two idiots of mine set off that very night. At first, we came to Anning Road and asked the people around us about it, but the locals didn't like us at all and even tried to attack us... But they couldn't hurt us, after all, they're just a bunch of ordinary people!"

Hearing this, Lu Ye was taken aback. The people of Anning Road were a group of believers who thought that doing good deeds would bring blessings. They had a good reputation in the capital, so how could they do such a thing?

After Lu Ye voiced his doubts, Sha You sighed.

“Captain, you’re right. The people of Anning Road are usually very kind, but they become extremely xenophobic as soon as someone asks about the ‘miracle medicine.’” Sha You said, “It’s like they suddenly become different people. Even if we’re wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Capital Garrison, they will throw stones at us without hesitation.”

Tatsumi and Iyeas nodded in unison.

"So it seems that the 'miracle drug' is their Achilles' heel?"

“It should be,” Tatsumi said solemnly. “The way those people looked was just like when Ieyasu accidentally touched Sayo’s cosmetics in the village. Sayo back then… was just…”

"I saved up for a really, really long time before I finally decided to buy it, okay?!" Sha You protested, blushing. "What if you big spenders break it?!"

"Tch!" Iyeas scoffed. "With your current salary, buying those bottles and jars would be a piece of cake."

"It's completely different in the village and in the capital, okay?" Sha You said irritably. "Besides, where would I have gotten that much money back then?"

"So, have you discovered anything else?" Lu Ye wasn't interested in hearing about these things, especially about cosmetics. He might be more interested if they talked about food in the countryside near the capital.

"Don't worry about that!" Sha You said, patting his chest. "After hitting a wall the first time, we changed our approach the next morning. We changed into civilian clothes, and since we heard that this medicine could cure all diseases, I had Tatsumi and Ieyas pretend to be terminally ill patients, change their appearances, and then secretly inquire about the medicine... Unexpectedly, this trick really worked. By playing the victim while gathering information, it took us two whole days to be introduced into the inner circle of Anning Road."

"internal?"

"Well, it is a religious group after all. We were taken to a dimly lit hall, and there were many people queuing in front of us. We waited for almost a day. When it was finally our turn, the man told us that he could cure our terminal illness, but the price was money, a lot of money. The price of one dose of the miracle drug was over a million."

"So expensive...who is that man?" Lu Ye asked.

"His name seems to be Berlik, and he appears to be an assistant to the leader of the Anning Dao sect."

"Did you get any samples?" Lu Ye asked.

"Hehe, of course!"

Sha You smiled smugly and took out a green reagent from her pocket, placing it on the table.

He was very familiar with this reagent; he had several of them on him.

“At the time, I said we didn’t have that much money, but Berlick said we could find other ways to offset the cost.”

"Other methods?"

“That’s a lecherous old man!” Iyeas interjected. “That guy took a fancy to Shayou, saying that if she was willing to offer her body to the gods, he wouldn’t mind giving her a potion.” He clenched his fists as he said this. “If it weren’t for investigating the potion, I would have punched that fat pig in the face long ago!”

"Well, it's not too late to beat him up later. The most urgent thing is to investigate the situation of the drug. It is not only illegally made, but it also seems to cause considerable harm to the human body."

“Harm?” Sha You was stunned. “That potion was amazing. We pretended to agree to Berlik’s request, and then he took us to another place, saying that he wanted us to witness a miracle. It was also an empty room with many people holding the potion, including quite a few disabled people… Then an amazing scene happened. After they drank the potion, those disabled people actually recovered!”

"Recovery...you don't mean regeneration, do you?" Lu Ye asked quickly.

"Yes, the blind regained their sight, the disabled grew limbs again, and the able-bodied people had very happy smiles on their faces..." Shayou said, "I thought the medicine was a scam, but I didn't expect it to actually work! Although I don't know if there are any side effects, later Berlik took me to a room and tried to do *that* to me, but I snatched the potion from him and ran away, meeting up with Tatsumi and Ieyas outside, and fought off a lot of guards along the way."

Lu Ye picked up the medicine from the table.

Now he finally understood why these three guys looked so disheveled.

It turns out they had fought a battle.

However, the fact that they managed to fight their way out of Anning Road shows that this trio's strength should not be underestimated.

It should be noted that as a religious area, it was protected by the capital, and the entire area was guarded by hundreds of soldiers.

But Lu Ye wasn't too worried about getting into trouble because of the Tatsumi trio.

After all, the story of the miraculous potions and elixirs hadn't yet spread throughout the capital; it was likely only known to the local residents of Anning Road and a small number of people in the surrounding area. They probably didn't want things to escalate.

“I’ve accepted the medicine. Thank you for your hard work,” Lu Ye nodded. “I will pay you the reward in a few days.”

“No, no,” Ieyas scratched his head, “Why would we talk about payment?!”

"To be precise, it's not a reward, but a token of gratitude. You still need to make a name for yourselves in the capital and save your hometown villages, so having more money on you will definitely help you." Lu Ye thought for a moment and then said, "Besides... because you helped me, you missed a few days of work, so your wages will be deducted quite a bit, and I have to make it up to you."

"Well, Brother Lu Ye, we won't stand on ceremony!" Hearing this, the three of them were much more accepting. Although they were very willing to help Lu Ye, they were also upset that they had lost their wages as a result.

However, Lu Ye revealed a small smile of "my wicked scheme has succeeded".

As the captain of the security force, with his power, even if the trio didn't do any work, they could still receive their wages on time every month.

Thinking about this, Lu Ye sighed. Corrupt politics sometimes has its advantages, namely, there is a lot of room for manipulation. As long as you have money and connections, you can do whatever you want in this country.

For some reason, Esdeath's image suddenly appeared in his mind.

Indeed, as the strongest woman in the capital, she has almost everything she wants.

With her protection, one might be able to move freely even within the palace. After all, the emperor is actually quite powerless; the real power lies with the minister Ernest, who is in a cooperative relationship with Esdeath…

Thinking about it that way, Lu Ye felt that it wasn't impossible for him to pretend to be Esdeath's lover.

After all, who doesn't love being a kept man?

However, the only drawback is that it is too dangerous. In Lu Ye's opinion, Esdeath is a tigress with a strong desire to attack. Before you can even pretend to be friendly with her, she will devour you whole, and you will have nowhere to cry.

After calming herself down, Lu Ye brought her thoughts back to reality.

“It’s alright. Speaking of which, there will be a martial arts competition for all the people in the capital in a few days,” Lu Ye said. “Those who rank high will receive prize money of varying amounts. You should send money to the village on time every week. Maybe you can win a prize by participating in the competition. I heard that the tenth place winner gets around 200,000. If you go, you should be able to get a good ranking.”

"Really?!"

The three of them immediately brightened up.

Two hundred thousand—that's a huge sum of money, enough to keep everyone in the village from going hungry for a whole year!

"Thank you so much, brother!"

“It’s alright,” Lu Ye said, “but you should stay away from Anning Road for the time being, otherwise it will be very dangerous.”

"That's for sure. After all, we just robbed someone of their things. We're not that stupid."

“Um… I have a question.” At this moment, Sha You raised her hand. “Um, what are you going to do after this? This potion is amazing. It can heal people’s injuries and give hope to those who have lost their legs to start a new life… It’s just a bit pricey, but it’s completely harmless.”

“That’s too one-sided. You’re only seeing the temporary situation. I’ve recently received some reports of people with mental instability appearing near Anning Road. I suspect it’s the drug’s doing, which is why I’m investigating. If it doesn’t have any side effects, I naturally won’t interfere. As for the high price, that’s none of my business either.” Lu Ye said, then suddenly remembered something. “Oh, right, I have a favor to ask of you.”

"Brother, you tell me!"

Iyeas patted his chest, indicating that he was full of fighting spirit and could easily fight a few more matches.

“It’s nothing serious,” Lu Ye said. “I just want to ask you to keep an eye on the situation in the capital and let me know immediately if anything unusual happens.”

“No problem, leave it to us!” Iyeas smiled confidently.

"I'm relieved to hear that. If there's nothing else, you should go and rest for a while; you've got dark circles under your eyes."

After the trio left the office, Lu Ye took out several other reagents from his pocket.

Arranging them neatly on the table, it felt like seeing several copies.

Lu Ye couldn't help but ponder.

Najenda learned about this through Leone's intelligence network.

According to the information provided by Leone, everyone who takes that potion will eventually go insane without exception.

So far, Lu Ye has obtained information about the potion from several different places.

These are the test tubes found on the four Rakshasa demons, during a mission at the brothel, and the one Brad obtained from Liva on the dragon ship.

However, none of the above examples involved individuals going insane.

This made Lu Ye wonder if Leone's information was wrong.

After all, she herself had never seen what a test tube looked like; she had only seen people who seemed to have gone mad because of the drug.

Moreover, based on past experience, the effects of the medicine also vary.

The potion in the horse's hand can heal injuries when used externally, and seems to enhance strength when taken internally.

In brothels, it is possible to make people addicted to drugs through certain methods, and it is very difficult to quit.

The medicines emanating from Anning Road all seemed to be used to heal injuries.

Did all of these medicines originate from within Anning Road?

It seems necessary to investigate this.

However, just as Lu Ye was about to set off for Anning Road, a blue light flashed before his eyes.

[Special mission has been activated]

Mission Objective: Kill Berlik.

[Special Reward: Understanding Fate]

[Time Limit: One Day]

Looking at the mission panel, Lu Ye abandoned the idea of ​​going alone.

Special mission?

This is a type of mission that has never appeared before.

No, we can't be careless.

It seems I need to go back to Night Raid headquarters first.

After all, there's strength in numbers!

……

Anning Road.

Temple of Faith.

"What?! Damn it, they actually got away! A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

In the magnificent, golden hall, a strong man stood with his hair standing on end in fury.

His voice resounded throughout the space, even the white-clad guards kneeling on the ground felt a ringing in their ears, not to mention the exotic women with veils covering their faces who were kneeling at his feet.

"I'm sorry, teaching assistant..."

"what?"
