Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

I like you.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ye hugged Violet.

What she wanted to express was actually very simple and humble.

You have a lot.

But all I have is you.

Chapter 257 What armed uprising?

Feeling the warmth of the girl in his arms strengthened Lu Ye's resolve.

As the saying goes... With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!

He decided to stick to his path to the end and never look for another woman.

Even Esdeath, with her slim waist, long legs, and stunning looks, should be pushed aside.

However, Lu Ye felt that the current posture was a bit strange.

Violet held him in her arms, and he, like a princess rescued by a knight, wrapped his arms around Violet's fair neck...

"Hey, you've got the roles reversed, haven't you?" Lu Ye thought to himself.

But whatever, this suits him just fine, and he even thinks it would be even better if Violet could sing a lullaby.

Feeling the girl's warmth, a wave of weariness suddenly washed over him.

This is understandable, since he didn't sleep well last night.

Although Esdeath said that they would only sleep together and not do anything else, once she fell asleep, she used Lu Ye as a pillow. She slept comfortably, but Lu Ye became restless, both psychologically and physically.

"Are you sleepy?" Violet asked. "Want to take a nap?"

"You really understand me. Then you can borrow it for a bit..." Lu Ye nestled in the girl's arms, his eyes slightly closed.

Violet didn't say anything.

It's not really a matter of understanding or not understanding.

Her world was only as big as Lu Ye. Sometimes, she could tell what he was going to do next just from a slight movement of Lu Ye's.

The afternoon was a wonderful time. The air was warm, and the sunlight filtered through the leaves outside the window, casting dappled shadows on the ground. In the distance, the gentle sound of a mountain stream made one feel drowsy.

Lu Ye fell asleep quickly.

Violet also felt tired. After all, she had been hunting in the mountains with Akame for so long, and even with her strong physique, she needed to rest.

Gradually, she closed her eyes, hugged Lu Ye, and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ye seemed to hear a chuckle.

Then it started and ended one after another.

He opened his eyes groggily. He was still in the lounge, but the warm yellow lights were on, and there were a circle of people around him.

"Wow!" Lu Ye was startled.

The figures in front of them were the Night Raid Squad, and they were all smiling quite happily, their smiles clearly revealing a malicious intent.

Seemingly realizing something, Lu Ye slowly turned his head and saw that Violet was sleeping soundly, with her arms wrapped around his waist.

He then remembered that he had fallen asleep while being held by Violet.

Looking at the brightly lit living room, Lu Ye thought to himself, "Damn it. I only meant to take a short nap, but I ended up sleeping until evening and being seen by everyone... It felt like when you're flirting with your girlfriend and a bunch of onlookers are just making a fuss, making you feel ashamed and angry at the same time."

Can you please give this young couple some private space?

However, with Lu Ye's thick skin, he naturally didn't care about these things. It was just that being surrounded by people made him feel like a monkey in a zoo, especially when he realized that these "tourists" were there with the mentality of watching a show.

"Don't be angry, we came to call you for dinner. We were wondering how long you'd be sleeping." Brad crossed his arms and looked to be in good spirits.

"I can eat by myself, right? The way you all huddle together makes me feel like I'm here to visit a zoo," Lu Ye said, speechless.

"The zoo analogy is too strong. It's just that it's really strange to see a grown man nestled in a girl's arms..." Lubbock said in a cheeky yet sour tone, "It's so nice. I'd like to be held and slept by a beautiful girl too..."

"If you'd like, I can hug you too, okay?" Leone gave Lu Ye a lewd grin.

"Um... excuse me, aren't your roles reversed?" Hill raised her hand to ask. "From what I've read in books, isn't it usually the man hugging the woman?"

"That's right, you rascal, don't make Violet's legs go numb!" Mine chimed in. "It's not too much to ask that I take Violet back to her room tonight to massage her legs, is it?"

"As long as you're not lewd, I'm fine," Lu Ye said.

"Who are you calling lewd?!"

Mine immediately bristled, her pink twin tails fluttering even without wind... Lu Ye had struck a chord with her.

At that moment, Violet also opened her eyes.

"Is it lunchtime yet?" she asked.

"Yeah, Akame prepared a lot of delicious food today. By the way, after dinner, the boss said he seems to have an important task for us," Brad said. "So try to eat your fill..."

Before Brad could finish speaking, Lubbock interrupted, "After all, every meal could be the last!"

As soon as these remarks were made, Lubbock was immediately met with a firm rebuke from Leone.

"How dare you talk like that!" Leone's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "Since you like the last meal so much, then let tonight's dinner be your last!"

"Big sister, spare me... I was wrong!" Lubbock begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Alright, alright, now that everyone's here, let's go to the restaurant." Brad's expression turned serious. "I heard tonight's mission is extremely important, and we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes. Make sure you eat well to ensure you have enough energy, understand?"

……

The group arrived at the restaurant.

Tonight's dinner was quite sumptuous, with excellent color, aroma, and taste.

As the head chef of the Night Raid Squad, Akame is quite skilled in cooking.

For her, the main ingredient in these dishes must be meat, in order to satisfy her dietary needs.

The meat was what she and Violet had hunted in the mountains today. Most of the prey were dangerous species. Based on her long experience, many dangerous species had very succulent meat that was more suitable for cooking than the meat of ordinary livestock. However, since ordinary people did not have the ability to hunt dangerous species, they were rarely used as everyday dishes.

After a hearty meal and drinks, Najenda lit a cigarette and put it in her mouth before announcing the mission.

As Brad said, this mission was extremely important, which was evident from Najenda's serious expression.

Najenda said methodically, “The Empire is now surrounded by enemies on three sides. Although Esdeath briefly suppressed the rebellion, that was actually within our expectations. So, if we want to take over the capital, we must start from within. That’s why we’ve been operating in the capital all this time. Gentlemen, tonight’s mission is the same as usual: to punish the wicked. But this mission is extremely important, as it is directly related to the plan for a general offensive against the Empire later on.”

what?

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of shock.

To hear this news from Najenda, does it mean that the attack on the capital is about to begin?

The rest of the Night Raid team were completely unaware of this until they heard it with their own ears.

It wasn't that Najenda was deliberately concealing the plan; it was just that she was a key figure responsible for direct communication with the resistance organization. In addition, given the special nature of the Night Raid Squad's operations, to avoid situations where squad members were arrested and intelligence was leaked, she generally wouldn't easily reveal important information unless it was a critical moment.

Najenda turned her gaze to Lu Ye: "Lu Ye, do you remember what I asked you to do before?"

“I remember, it was about the ‘miracle drug’, right?” Lu Ye said.

"That's right, I asked you to investigate the 'miracle drug,' any progress?"

"Ah, I asked a few friends to investigate, and they've made some progress." Lu Ye took out the green reagent that Tatsumi and the others had taken from his pocket. "This is a sample of the 'miracle drug,' which is said to be able to heal injuries and even regenerate severed limbs. It was taken from a guy named Berlik."

“It’s even more powerful than the healing ability of my Imperial Arm.” Leone scratched her hair. “But I have to admit, after all, I have seen its effects with my own eyes. I have a friend in the slums who regained his sight after going blind, but he went crazy in the end.”

“Speaking of which, this potion… is quite similar to the one Riva used before, but the effects are different. Why is that?” Brad fell into deep thought.

Najenda slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "This potion came from within the Tranquil Road. Although it hasn't spread completely yet, it has become popular in the Tranquil Road area, and many people have been saved because of it. But there is a problem, which is that this potion has side effects. Some people go crazy because of it, which is why I need to investigate this potion. But there is an even more important reason, which is the armed uprising in the Tranquil Road."

"Armed uprising?"

“That’s right, do you remember the tenets of the Path of Tranquility?” Najeta asked.

"Is it the one that claims that doing good deeds will bring happiness and longevity?" Leone replied, having spent the most time among the common people and knowing all about such things.

“Yes, but under the current rule of the capital, how many of them do you think will find happiness?” Najenda finished her cigarette, tossed it aside, and lit a new one. “The Tranquility Path has gained many followers in the past ten years, forming a large force on the eastern side of the capital. Under the oppressive rule of the capital, the Tranquility Path was originally planning to launch an armed uprising, that is, a religious rebellion. We planned to use this uprising to coordinate with the Western foreign tribes to overthrow the rule of the capital. However, even so, the capital could still withstand it. So, as a final blow, the revolutionary army would launch an uprising from the south and take over the capital in one fell swoop… That was how it was supposed to be, but the plan was disrupted.”

"Is it because of the magic medicine?" Lu Ye asked.

“Yes, that’s why,” Najenda said. “Its miraculous effects have calmed the restless hearts of the people of the Tranquil Path. You just said that this potion was controlled by a guy named Berlik, right? In fact, that guy was an informant planted in the Tranquil Path by the Minister. The Tranquil Path’s power is so great that even the Minister has to take it seriously. Due to the effects of the potion, the followers of the Tranquil Path now regard Berlik as the spokesperson of God, and the original leader of the Tranquil Path has disappeared without a trace.”

"Who was the original leader of Anning Dao?" Lu Ye asked.

“She’s a gentle woman,” Mine replied. “She has the ability to heal injuries and predict the future. I’ve seen her once from afar.”

"Heal injuries, see into the future?" Lu Ye was stunned for a moment. "What kind of Imperial Arms is this?"

“It’s not an Imperial Arm, but a kind of ‘talent’,” Leone said. “That leader is no ordinary person. He is a hybrid of human and Dangerous Species. You know, the Imperial Arms of today are all made based on materials from various super Dangerous Species, so it’s not surprising that he would have certain abilities as a hybrid.”

Lu Ye thought to herself, "This is so strange."

Would anyone really have a child with a dangerous species?

Where is species isolation?

"So, the mission this time is to kill Berlick, right?" Brad asked.

“We must expose Berlik’s conspiracy, rescue the original leader of the Path of Peace, and reveal Berlik’s true colors to the world… This will only make the people more angry, and the armed uprising will still occur,” Najenda added.

Lu Ye finally understood. This time, the ministers had stopped the armed uprising in Anning Road, and their mission was to remove this obstacle so that the armed uprising could proceed smoothly. The prerequisite for this was to kill Berlik, reveal his true identity, and break the believers' faith and pursuit of Berlik.

Kill Berlick...

This just so happens to coincide with my special mission; I'm really lucky.

However, Lu Ye couldn't help but think about something else.

If Berwick was an informant planted on the Road of Tranquility by Minister Ernest, then was the "miracle drug" actually developed by him, or was it provided by the minister as a tool to deceive the public?

Understanding this is very important for Lu Ye.

Because the potion is very likely connected to the Protoss shards.

But there's no point in thinking about it here; we'll just have to ask Lubbock directly when the time comes.

“However, may I ask a question?” Hill raised his hand at this point, “If this mission is completed and the Anning Road armed uprising is launched, it will still be very difficult for the revolutionary army to launch an offensive from the south, as there are various passes and towns along the way.”

"Good question. The only thing we can be thankful for right now is that the capital still underestimates the revolutionary army. They want to gather all the rebels together and wipe them out in one fell swoop. The revolutionaries' strongholds are on the border, and to get to the capital from there, they have to break through some passes and cities. But we've already made arrangements with the governors of several cities... Even those who work diligently in the capital will be demoted. We protected the civil officials before precisely for this, so it's easy to reach an agreement with them. It will be quite astonishing when the time comes. The revolutionary army will repeat their bloodless conquests and advance on the capital at an astonishing speed."
