Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Lu Ye followed the soldiers to the colonel's room.

The soldier knocked on the door and then left.

"Enter."

A hoarse voice came from inside.

Lu Ye pushed open the door and entered.

But this time the lights were off, only a candle was burning on the sandalwood table.

The firelight flickered, and the colonel sat in a chair with a wine glass in his hand. Lu Ye could vaguely see the horrific scars on his profile.

"Drinking alone here without the lights on?"

"The lights will be turned on when you arrive," the colonel said. "Come and sit down. Weigh the pros and cons, assess the risks, and what do you think?"

"The offer is tempting, but I can't trust you."

“You can only trust me.” The colonel lit a cigar. “I’ve already reported Violet’s situation to the military by telegram. Those big shots have agreed to it. Even if you and that kid manage to kill everyone on the ship, there will be people waiting for you in Leiden Port.”

"..." Lu Ye remained silent.

"So, the deal is done?"

"Three conditions."

"explain."

"First, I will not join the army."

“A temporary status would be fine,” the colonel said. “I know you’re worried I’ll use my military status to control you.”

"Secondly, I must accompany Violet on her mission."

"That's natural."

"Three, eat this."

Lu Ye took out a small, transparent bottle from his pocket, which contained small white pills.

"what is this?"

“A concentrated poison,” Lu Ye said. “The ingredients all come from the distant Eastern continent. Since you know about the Star Spirit fragments, you know that some things in this world are beyond reason. As you said before, everyone is driven by profit. Only when we can check and balance each other will we not easily have ulterior motives, right?”

The colonel looked at the pills in front of him and fell silent.

The room was completely silent, except for the sound of the pendulum swinging on the wall clock.

But the oppressive atmosphere didn't last long. A moment later, the colonel resolutely grabbed the bottle, poured out the pills, and swallowed them with the wine beside him.

Then Lu Ye took out a blue capsule.

"Eat it once every seven days, and it will neutralize the toxins in your body."

The colonel readily agreed, taking out a Celestial Spirit fragment and placing it on the table.

"Its ability is to create clones. I've relied on this to escape countless assassination attempts. It's yours now."

Lu Ye accepted the fragment without doubting that it was fake.

Because the progress bar suddenly increased significantly.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you,” the colonel said. “Let me ask you a question: do you think Verdon fully mastered that technology?”

“Probably not,” Lu Ye said. “You said before that Verdon is producing the latest model of mechs to be deployed on the battlefield. That’s probably because Fermund hasn’t handed over all the technology. Although he has completely mastered the complete neural connection system through the Protoss fragments, he is ‘updating’ his so-called technology little by little, like squeezing toothpaste. Only in this way can he maintain his position as ‘chief scientist’.”

Lu Ye knew that this behavior was like Lao Huang updating his graphics card in a piecemeal fashion.

Chapter 46 Unknown

The colonel slowly exhaled.

"Hey kid, really not interested in having a drink?"

“There’s no need for that. But what surprises me is that you’re still struggling even after the country has surrendered?” Lu Ye frowned.

If, as the colonel says, Leiden surrenders in six months, will the colonel be the only one to launch a counterattack?

"That's right, even if the country's war ends, my war is far from over."

"Didn't you say you have a 'patriotic heart'? Shouldn't you obey the country's orders?"

"I love the land beneath my feet, not those fat pigs in high positions." The colonel stroked Unit-6, the fuselage reflecting his battered face. "A person has to do something in their life, has to live for something. If I can't even protect this land beneath my feet, then why don't I go to hell with those dead souls?"

"It seems you truly love this land beneath your feet."

The colonel's gaze was far-reaching: "I never thought that God would grant me such a turning point in the victory. If the plan succeeds, our names will be recorded in the annals of Leidenshaftich."

“I’m not interested in those things. My mother told me that you can’t judge a person by what they say, but by what they do,” Lu Ye said, toying with the Protoss shard in his hand. “But let me make this clear beforehand: no one around me will die because of this. If there really is a way to end the war by sacrificing one person… that person will never be me or Violet.”

That's right, survive.

Before going back, even if it means drinking muddy water from the ground, we must grit our teeth and live on.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

"Well, don't keep that girl waiting." The colonel smiled.

"You know that too?" Lu Ye turned around in surprise.

“You wouldn’t come here alone. She trusts you, and you’re using her,” the colonel said. “But it’s a good thing to be used; at least that way she still has value.”

"Don't talk to her like she's an object," Lu Ye said, somewhat displeased.

"I'm just stating the facts," the colonel said quietly. "Your goal is to collect these fragments that possess strange powers. So what will happen to the girl after you've collected them all? What kind of person will you raise her to be? Or will you abandon her once you've achieved your goal?"

"I will let her grow up well," Lu Ye said, emphasizing each word, "and raise her to be a girl with a normal life."

"To understand a person, you should look at what they do, not what they say."

The colonel returned those words to Lu Ye verbatim.

In this world, some things are just talk.

Anyone can talk the talk, but very few can actually walk the walk.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the night breeze is slightly cool.

Lu Ye took Violet back to the room.

The kerosene lamp burned as he sat by the bed, silently watching the waves outside the window.

Now that things have come to this, the location of the Protoss fragments is completely known.

The current progress of the [Rewind World] is 50%, which means that there are at most three fragments in this world.

Even without the "third one" mentioned by the colonel, the location of the other fragment has already been determined.

"that……"

At that moment, Violet tugged at Lu Ye's sleeve and reached out her hand.

"I...I want..."

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

"Chewing gum, right? Here you go."

He pulled a small box out of his pocket, which was full of small white pills, the same kind he had given to the colonel before.

In fact, these little balls were just chewing gum made by Lu Ye from the thick juice of breadfruit boiled on the island, mixed with coconut milk and then dried.

Because a "shell" forms on the outside after the water evaporates, this thing can be preserved for a long time.

The method of feeding the colonel "poison" was his quick thinking.

Lu Ye didn't expect the colonel to be so foolish as to believe that this stuff was poison.

He simply made the colonel afraid to gamble, which is what is known as double insurance.

The colonel wouldn't be foolish enough to think it was real poison.

But he also dared not gamble that it was fake poison.

Because the colonel has more important things to do right now, which is what he calls the plan.

Therefore, the colonel would not gamble, nor would he dare to gamble.

And the most important reason is that the colonel believes Lu Ye is also a possessor of the Protoss fragment.

It's like you're walking down the street and someone suddenly jumps out and throws a white flag into your arms, saying, "This is a Soul-Suppressing Banner. It suppresses a thousand-year-old demon inside. It's extremely fierce and vicious. Once you let it out of your hands, it will break the seal and wreak havoc everywhere. You must keep it safe..."

From a purely rational perspective, you would just think that guy is an idiot, and you'd love to shove the white flag down the hole in his ass.

But as soon as the other party finished speaking, they chanted a spell, a flash of golden light appeared, and they rode away on clouds, ethereal and carefree...

At this point, you need to carefully consider the weight of what the other person just said...

The "antidote" given to the colonel before was just ordinary cold capsules, and Lu Ye brought a whole bunch of these from the medicine box.

Violet took the 'pill' from Lu Ye and began to eat it.

Her mouth was small, and after a few bites, her cheeks were full, making her look like a little hamster. Her cherry-colored lips were covered with glistening saliva.

After all, this stuff is hard to chew after it's dried, and your mouth will involuntarily secrete more saliva to soften it.

Lu Ye pinched Violet's chin and wiped her mouth with a tissue, otherwise her drool would keep dripping down.

Looking at Violet's face, Lu Ye felt a little uneasy.

If she finishes collecting the Protoss fragments and returns to the real world, what should she do then?

It must be said that the colonel's words really struck a nerve.

He had been focusing his attention on the whereabouts of the Protoss shards and trying not to think about them.

But what's coming will eventually come, and simply running away isn't the solution.

Lu Ye lay down on the bed, somewhat at a loss.

To be honest, I'm already exhausted from keeping an eye on that old colonel these past few days, and now I have to worry about Violet's future too...

"We need to determine the following direction for the future..."

"Ok?"
