Violet looked up at Lu Ye, her azure eyes revealing a glimmer of hope.
“Violet,” Lu Ye said.
"exist."
Am I considered your friend?
"Friends... do you count?"
Are you happy being with me?
She thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Then you will be happier in the future. You will meet many people and they will become your friends."
"A friend like you...?"
"Yes, old friends may leave, but new friends will come."
“Think about the lambs on the island!” Luye encouraged her. “It’s because you left them that you can eat roast chicken and pine nut cake, isn’t it?”
Violet lowered her head slightly and said nothing more.
Since someone has already said that, what else can she ask for?
If she could fulfill that person's request and see his satisfied expression, the girl's heart would feel a slight warmth.
Friends and such... she doesn't really understand these things.
She just wanted to spend more time with someone.
Lu Ye knew what this feeling was.
--"rely".
But regardless, Violet is a citizen of this world, and he will return after retrieving the Celestial Spirit Shard.
People from two different worlds meeting is already a miracle.
Since separation is inevitable, Lu Ye only hopes to let this naive little girl live a happy life, just a little bit happier and a little bit more joyful.
Ideally, when she thinks back on the days she spent with me in the future, a smile will appear on her face. That way, the memory won't have been in vain. At least I left a slightly important mark on her life. And when I'm tired from working overtime someday and recall this experience, thinking about how a girl in another world became happy because of me, perhaps I'll have some confidence to keep living...
That's right, that's fine.
When it was time to part ways, I waved my hand dismissively and ended our relationship with a nonchalant "Sa yo la la".
Young birds always have to leave their parents and spread their wings to fly.
Lu Ye looked up at the sky, imagining the birds soaring through the air.
Yes, it's good to say goodbye.
It's so good, it's fucking good.
He tried his best to persuade Violet, but he couldn't convince himself.
Chapter 64 The Emotionless Doppelganger
Four hours later.
Under the cover of night, Lu Ye and Violet boarded a carriage bound for Leiden Port.
Normally, the innkeeper would refuse to drive such a late hour, but Lu Ye had given him too much.
After Violet fell into a deep sleep in bed, Lu Ye slipped out the door.
He fought off his sleepiness and walked out onto the street before dawn, eventually arriving at the bar that Hawkins had brought him to earlier.
He sneaked in through the back door and immediately smelled a very strong odor of alcohol.
If you want to create an alibi, you need to provide sufficient evidence.
From before the departure until now, the clone should have been here serving as "evidence".
He booked the whole place, and everyone in the bar drank there all night. With so many people acting as witnesses, that should be enough.
Most importantly, Lu Ye did not go through the main gate when he went to Corinn's mansion.
He sneaked in from the outer courtyard with Violet's help, wearing a scarf that he turned up to cover the area below his nose.
In short, he entered the mansion without being checked by the gatekeepers.
The servants around him had already received orders that a guest was coming, so they naturally had no suspicions and respectfully led him to the third floor.
This means that Corinne was killed by unknown individuals.
Of course, due to the high-level mission, the suspect will still be identified as Lu Ye, but everyone in the bar will vouch for him.
Everyone around was drunk.
Normally, these people might not drink so much, but tonight someone is treating them, so they drink to their heart's content, since it's not their own money.
Lu Ye didn't go directly to the bar's lobby, but instead went to the restroom.
He ignored the men who were vomiting or passed out against the wall, entered the first cubicle on the left, and then took in the view of his clone.
This is the "code".
This way, the clone will realize that the original is nearby.
In less than half a minute, the door to the cubicle was pushed open.
A person who looked exactly like Genluye entered this place.
This is how the power generated by the Protoss fragments is used to create a "clone" identical to the original.
"How is it?" Lu Ye asked.
"The situation is alright. There are about thirty people here who can all testify that 'I' partied all night at this bar."
"That's good." Lu Ye sighed.
There was another important reason why he insisted on creating an alibi.
—Violet.
Her performance in the test was outstanding, with an adaptability of 99%, which left the officers speechless.
If this were in Versailles, Violet would definitely be placed under strict protection immediately.
Lu Ye had prepared his response to persuade Violet not to leave his side.
Surprisingly, the military did not do that; instead, they handed her over to Corinne.
Even the colonel knew that Corey was a womanizer, so the military high command must have known.
Lu Ye felt that the only possibility was that some high-ranking figures wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Violet.
That's right, not to use her to make the mecha, but to get rid of her.
On the one hand, even if highly adaptable mechs are built, the war situation is still not optimistic, because Verdon has already developed giant mobile puppets that are about ten meters tall, and technological innovation has once again widened the gap.
On the other hand, the political faction to which the colonel belongs, which is similar to the "national protection faction," is currently being suppressed. Once Leiden is defeated, the situation in the country will be reshuffled, and many people will take the opportunity to rise to power. Based on the previous transfer of assets by many nobles and military figures, Lu Ye can roughly draw a conclusion.
Many people were hoping Leiden would lose.
Leidenscheftrich is a monarchy with a hereditary system.
Since power shifts and it's not my turn to rule, I'd rather be a dog under Verdon, commanding others, than a dog at the beck and call of others in Leiden.
Now that everything was done, Lu Ye took out the Star Spirit Fragment.
To be honest, it's quite a strange feeling to talk to someone who looks exactly like you.
Seeing the clone remain silent, Lu Ye became a little curious again.
Although it is a clone, it has the same body as the original, and communication and speaking are not a problem. It even acts according to the original's way of thinking.
So... here's the question.
Does this so-called "clone" have any feelings?
Lu Ye couldn't help but start thinking.
Since my mission is to collect Protoss fragments, I should at least have some understanding of them, right?
But at that moment, there was a knock on the door of the cubicle.
"Hey, is anyone inside?!"
Judging from that drunken voice, he's definitely a drunkard.
"The door's closed and you're asking if anyone's home? Are you out of your mind?" Lu Ye shouted impatiently.
"What? What did you say, brat? Come out and fight!"
The drunkard outside seemed enraged, kicking the cubicle door repeatedly.
Lu Ye decided to retrieve his clone first, and then figure out a way to deal with the drunkard.
Although he had only ever fought with women, Lu Ye was not afraid of men, because he had learned a lot of dirty tricks in the process of fighting with girls.
For example, grab the drunkard's hair and pull him down the moment he kicks open the door, then knee him hard in the head!
Incidentally, Lu Ye had to stay home for three days to recover because he couldn't defend against this move when he was in elementary school.
"Snapped!"
But before Lu Ye could retract his clone, the door was suddenly kicked open.
It wasn't as sturdy as I'd imagined; the hinges were made of just a thin layer of iron, making them bend easily.
An enraged drunkard barged in, then froze, dumbfounded.
"Two...men? My God..."
The drunkard seemed to have misunderstood something.
Lu Ye was furious about this misunderstanding.
Just as he was about to make his move, the drunkard was punched hard in the face and fell backward unconscious.
That's a clone.
"Why did you steal my kill?" Lu Ye was very dissatisfied.
