Moreover, the saying "one shouldn't hit a smiling face" probably refers to this reason.
but.
The girl who would rather shackle the boy than let him be separated from her...
how to say?
To the average person, this would probably be a precursor to yandere.
While it is good to act according to one's own will, it is not entirely a good thing.
—One should act with discretion.
This is how girls must be educated.
Lu Ye increasingly felt that her teaching tasks were significant and challenging.
"Let's not talk about that. So what did you call me here for?"
Lu Ye started to get down to business.
"Is that so? Then I'll be blunt: you're free." The colonel said indifferently.
"free?"
"Yes, you can stay here. I will provide you with some money for your expenses. You can live here as long as you want."
The colonel stubbed out his cigar.
"Of course, you can also leave here and take your girl with you."
The room was warm and filled with warm yellow light.
Lu Ye stared at the colonel, unable to figure out his true intentions.
"So, you're saying I'm worthless, right?"
“Yes,” the colonel said without hesitation, “but you can keep that fragment; it’s no longer of any use to me.”
Chapter 68: The End of the Mission, or Another Beginning?
Lu Ye did not speak.
He could leave, and even take Violet with him.
—The colonel’s purpose is obvious.
Those hypocritical words no longer need to be disguised.
The colonel coveted the girl's extraordinary physical abilities, which she displayed on that rainy night.
But the girl will not listen to anyone except Lu Ye.
In addition, Lu Ye's "strange abilities" made the colonel want to recruit him.
But Lu Ye was not what he needed.
From beginning to end, the Colonel's goal was always Violet.
Her value was completely squeezed out the moment she emerged from the metal skeleton in that training ground.
"Where is the third fragment?"
Lu Ye asked directly.
Now that things have been made clear, there's no need to beat around the bush.
"It doesn't actually exist."
"...I knew it."
Hearing this answer, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a good thing, after all, it reduces my workload.
"Then I also want to ask you a question."
The colonel took out the blue capsule.
"Is the poison real?"
Lu Ye stared at the cold medicine capsule, thinking to himself that the old fox was indeed cautious.
Lu Ye never expected that the so-called "poison" could intimidate the colonel.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably take the antidote immediately after learning that they had ingested poison, right?
But the colonel did not.
He is waiting.
The kind of poison that causes death at a specific time, as depicted in fantasy and martial arts novels, does not actually exist.
If this thing really existed, it would definitely be very popular.
From the upper class to the lower classes, the nature of human struggle remains unchanged.
Every poison has a gradual process of toxicity developing.
The colonel did not take the poison at first; he did it to test whether it was genuine.
If it's genuine, then the toxins definitely won't be suppressed before the deadline for taking the antidote arrives.
The poisoned body will likely exhibit some abnormalities.
As for the antidote—
Eat it before the poison takes full effect, and no matter how uncomfortable you feel, as long as you don't die, it's fine.
This was the colonel's idea.
He was also very clear about Lu Ye's intentions in doing so.
In order to promote cooperation between the two sides, Lu Ye, who was on the ship, had no choice but to choose this method to check the colonel.
As for why this method works...
—“Protoss Fragment”.
Given the existence of something so extraordinary, the colonel had to consider whether Lu Ye still had any trump cards up his sleeve.
Although Lu Ye demonstrated his "ability" once while fighting pirates in the ship's cabin.
But the colonel couldn't be sure if he had any other forces powerful enough to sink ships.
Don't say things like, "It's a life-or-death situation, and you still don't use such seemingly clever but actually incredibly stupid things."
If that power had been used at that time, the entire ship would have been doomed.
Lu Ye, who was at the bottom, had almost no chance of escape. A large amount of water would rush into the bottom immediately, and the powerful water pressure alone could slam a person to the ground. If he was unlucky enough to be hit by a hard object such as a wall, he might even pass out.
—Unless Lu Ye wants to drag everyone on the ship, including Violet, down with him.
In other words, what the colonel feared was the "celestial spirit fragment" in Lu Ye's possession, not Lu Ye or Violet.
A careful recollection reveals that the colonel, who was hiding in the shadows, had every opportunity to kill Lu Ye.
But don't forget, the Colonel's real target is Violet.
If Lu Ye disappears or dies under mysterious circumstances, the girl will fall into chaos.
As for why the pirates were sent to kill Lu Ye?
The reasons have already been given above.
Killing Lu Ye would destabilize Violet, which is not what the Colonel wants.
The battle inside the ship's cabin was, in fact, a test.
Even if the pirates really gain the upper hand, he will still be killed by the colonel.
Of course, the extent of Lu Ye's injury was not within his consideration.
During the seven days he was stranded on that island, the colonel surveyed the island's surroundings.
If the girl arrived here a long time ago, then the boy only arrived recently.
However, there are no means of transportation around the sea area.
So where did the boy come from?
Although Lu Ye claimed to have encountered a shipwreck, there was actually no shipping route in that area.
As a current Navy captain, how could O'Sullivan not understand this?
It was out of caution towards Lu Ye that the colonel chose to test him.
He also successfully learned the fact that Lu Ye possessed certain powers.
The power of the weak versus the power of the strong.
These two are not contradictory, because those powers did not come from Lu Ye, but most likely from the Protoss fragments.
As the holder of the fragment and someone who had witnessed its power, the colonel naturally had to back down.
Most importantly, the colonel didn't know how many fragments Lu Ye had, or what their abilities were.
and so.
Just like how Lu Ye used poison to scare the colonel.
The colonel also mentioned the "third Protoss fragment" as information to ensure that he wouldn't suddenly die or anything like that.
On the other hand, Lu Ye also had his own considerations in not choosing to kill the colonel.
The reason is simple.
That would be incredibly foolish.
Summoning Chuangzi to kill the colonel would be an extremely simple matter, and of course, it would be very satisfying.
But what happens after that?
The ship was still some distance from Leiden port at the time and would not arrive until at least noon the next day.
Even if Violet, with her superhuman strength, carried Lu Ye across the water to the port.
