Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

He saw two more heartbeats on the heart rate monitor, this time coming from the right-hand corridor.

"Why are you here so early?" the person on the other end said.

"You were a few seconds late!" the guard said. "If you hadn't shown up soon, I was going to report the situation. Remember to report if anyone isn't there on time at the rendezvous point. Even if it's for women and money, you'd better do a good job!"

"Do you even need to tell me?" a mocking voice came from the other end. "Whether it's money or women, I'll do my job well!"

A lewd laugh echoed down the corridor, followed by approaching footsteps from the right.

The two guards who came from the right moved to the left, while the guards who came from the left moved in the direction from which the guards on the right had come.

Lu Ye noticed their movements and then realized something.

He immediately glanced at the terrain detector and the heartbeat detector, thinking to himself that this guy named Berlik really valued his life.

Simply put, the guards on each floor are usually patrolled in a dispersed manner, which ensures efficiency and also guarantees the safety of every corner.

However, these scattered guards, working in pairs, would gather at the intersections of the floors at regular intervals. If they found someone missing or something unusual during their gathering, they would immediately sound the alarm.

The evidence is the detectors in Lu Ye's hands.

He could clearly see that as the two teams of guards interacted, the blue dots that indicated heartbeats converged, and this phenomenon also occurred on the floor above Lu Ye's head.

Lu Ye knew that this guy named Berlik would guess that he, the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison, was coming to see him, but he didn't expect the defenses to be so tight... Moreover, Berlik probably didn't know that the famous assassin group "Night Raid" was coming, right?

Why make such a big fuss just to guard against yourself?

How scared must they be...?

Did killing and beheading Zank have a strong deterrent effect on that guy?

Or is it that he must take full precautions to ensure the safety of the "miracle drug"?

But thinking about these things is useless, since we can just ask the person involved later.

Taking advantage of the moment when the guards were scattered, Lu Ye ran towards the right corridor, which was closer.

Thanks to the ninja manual that the wolf gave him in the previous world, Lu Ye has mastered to some extent the technique of minimizing the sound of his footsteps when walking and running. However, precisely because it is a technique, it is not displayed on the panel.

Lu Ye ran with a bent back, like a nimble cheetah, his movements almost silent.

Then, just as he was about to reach the two guards, he dispelled the technique on his feet.

The sound of footsteps, so close yet so sudden, rang out behind them, causing the two guards in front to involuntarily turn around.

In that instant when they turned around, they saw a glint of cold light.

Lu Ye suddenly slashed his knife, striking both of them in the throat.

The intense pain rendered them completely speechless, and Lu Ye didn't hesitate. After slashing once, he grabbed the two men with both hands and slipped into the bathroom in the middle of the corridor.

Without stopping, Lu Ye grabbed the two men and stuffed them into toilet stalls, separating them in a smooth and efficient manner.

“From now on, I will ask you questions, and you will answer them accordingly,” Lu Ye said, looking at the two who were convulsing in pain.

He didn't use the blade for that last strike; he used the back of the blade.

As Akame said before, obtaining information from these people would improve efficiency.

“Ugh…uh…” The two guards managed to utter a difficult sound from their throats.

"Forget about calling for help. Your throats must be killing you just from making that little sound, right?" Lu Ye showed the terrain detector to the guards in the right-hand compartment. "You can still move your hands, right? If you can see where Berlik is from here, point it out to me."

Upon hearing this, the guard raised his trembling hand and pointed out the location on the screen.

Then Lu Ye asked the guards on the left, "Tell me where Berlik is. If the two of you give different locations, it means one of you is lying, and I will cut off both of your legs at the same time... My goal is Berlik, not you. Money and women can be found again, but you only have one life. Think it through."

The guard nodded in fear.

Lu Ye was very satisfied. He placed the knife against the man's neck and leaned closer to listen.

Although it's difficult for them to speak, it doesn't mean they can't make a sound. For the sake of their lives, they can still manage to speak despite the pain.

After receiving the guard's reply, Lu Ye picked up the terrain detection device in his hand and compared it.

Fortunately, Berlik's hiding place was within 100 meters, but not on the first floor, but on the third floor. It wasn't on the top floor or in the basement, but on the third floor. Through the terrain device, it could be seen that there was a hidden passage in a bedroom on the third floor. If the guard hadn't specifically pointed it out, Lu Ye wouldn't have found it for a while and would have thought it was a U-shaped corridor.

The two men's accounts were exactly the same, so it's safe to assume they weren't lying. After all, the guards inside the building were generally more capable than those outside, and they knew more, not to mention that one of them had even spent the night keeping watch outside Berlik's room.

"One last question, how long was the time interval between your meetings?"

“Five, five minutes…” the guard replied with difficulty, “but every ten minutes, the guards on this floor… will gather in the garden to check the situation, and the next time they will gather will be the next time.”

"very good."

After receiving a reply, Lu Ye waved his hand, his wrist swirling with the blade of his sword, splattering blood all over the wall.

Only the dead remain motionless and make no sound.

These guards deserved their fate.

After finding out where Berlik was, Lu Ye immediately headed to the third floor.

According to the guards, next time it won't be like before, with the two teams gathering together. Instead, all the guards on the entire floor will gather together to report the situation. There will be ten minutes in between. In other words, Lu Ye must deal with Lubbock within these ten minutes, otherwise it will be difficult if all the guards in the building gather together.

The staircase is spiral-shaped.

Lu Ye walked up the stairs. Through the heartbeat detector, Lu Ye could see that the guards were distributed on the west and east sides of the second floor. The stairs were relatively spacious because there were guards on the first floor and there was no intersection.

Then, at that moment, Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Because he saw through the heart rate monitor that a blue dot of light had appeared above him at some unknown time!

"There's an ambush!" Lu Ye was shocked.

As this thought arose, a sound fell from the chandelier above the stairs, striking Lu Ye.

Lu Ye suddenly jumped backward, rolled and landed steadily at the bottom of the steps.

He thought to himself, "What bad luck!"

The heart rate detector uses a circular scan. After the scan line scans out a blue dot, it continues to rotate. The dot does not remain on the screen indefinitely; it gradually disappears as the scan line passes by until it is scanned out again.

To put it simply, it's equivalent to a sonar or radar.

When Lu Ye arrived here, the scanning line had just turned past the location of the ambush, so the instrument did not scan it immediately. Instead, it marked the person's location on the second loop of the stairs when he arrived.

The step where Lu Ye had been standing was cut off with a single stroke.

Fortunately, it was the steps that were cut, not Lu Ye, otherwise he would have been physically shattered.

"Oh, as expected of the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison, that's quite a good reaction..."

The man, dressed in a gray kimono, carried a long sword on his shoulder, looking like a samurai from Japan's Edo period.

However, what caught Lu Ye's attention even more was his pair of red pupils.

Unlike Akame's ruby-red eyes, this guy's pupils looked like they were stained with blood.

"You flatter me," Lu Ye said, glancing furtively at the heart rate monitor. "Aren't you going to call for reinforcements?"

“Then it’s meaningless.” The man said, his fingers slowly tracing the sharp longsword in his hand, his eyes cold. “My name is Yizang, and my life’s interest is sword-making… If I can’t make the enemy go all out, then it’s a desecration to ‘Jiang Xue’.”

"Jiang Xue?"

“It’s the name of the knife in my hand.” Izo pointed the tip of the knife at Lu Ye. “I’ve spent my whole life killing people and using their blood to sacrifice to my knife. I’m not interested in money or women. I heard that the newly appointed captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison killed the rumored decapitator Zank, and I find that very interesting.”

"So, you want to fight me one-on-one?" Lu Ye understood what this guy meant.

“That’s right, I’ve said it before. If we can’t force the enemy to go all out, then it would be a desecration of ‘Jiang Xue’.”

“Alright then.” Lu Ye revealed a strange smile. “Let’s decide the outcome with one move. Let’s begin.”

After saying that, Lu Ye reached out and pulled the Tear of Worship from the void.

If it were an ordinary sword, it would probably be defeated in an instant.

"A fine knife!"

The moment Izo saw the Mortal Blade, his eyes widened in shock.

The miasma and malevolent aura emanating from the Tears of Worship were precisely what he had pursued his entire life.

He kept killing people so that "Jiang Xue" would be imbued with this aura, so that it could become the number one sword in the world!

But I never expected that such a knife would actually exist.

But... what does it matter?

Izou's expression became excited. As long as he killed Lu Ye, the Mortal Blade would be his!

Thinking of this, he pressed a certain device in his hand, and the spiral staircase immediately emitted a warning beep.

Seeing this, how could Lu Ye not react?

What kind of one-on-one real man duel is that? That's all a lie!

Chapter 262 Hand Grenade BOOM!

The hidden activation device emitted a sharp sound.

Even a fool could understand that he was trying to call for reinforcements.

It will probably take less than half a minute for the guards to gather here, and then Lu Ye will have no way to escape.

Lu Ye thought to himself, "You have no martial ethics. What happened to the 1v1 real man's battle?"

He is now facing a dilemma. If he moves forward, but fails to kill Yi Zang in a few moves, he will be trapped on the spiral staircase when the guards on the first and second floors arrive. At that point, all that will be left for Lu Ye is to fight to the death, and his identity will be completely exposed.

But if he retreats now, he might lose his eligibility for the special mission.

Although there was no time limit, his intuition told him that this was his only chance.

“The guards won’t be here for more than half a minute,” Izo said, holding his sword horizontally in front of him. “You still have one chance. If you go all out, your chances of winning might be higher.”

"One move decides the outcome, right?" Lu Ye said. "I understand. In a moment, all the guards will see is your corpse."

After saying that, he positioned the vehicle and held the sword horizontally in front of him.

However, unlike Yizang's posture, the tip of his sword was pointing downwards.

Izo noticed this and found it somewhat strange. As a swordsman who had slain countless powerful enemies, he naturally understood the meaning of this posture. Holding the sword at his side with the tip pointing downwards, this posture allowed him to use the thicker back of the blade to block enemy attacks; in other words, it was a defensive posture… and that was precisely why it puzzled him.

If this kid isn't going all out, does he think he can test my strengths and weaknesses?

Izang laughed dismissively.
