Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

“I don’t know, maybe it’s mutated?” Melina said. “When you left Lienia before, didn’t the Son of Platinum give you hoods? Put them on quickly!”

"Huh? You don't mean you want us to pretend to be the Son of Platinum, do you?" A-Tui said disdainfully. "Look at my slim waist and long legs, how could I possibly fool anyone!"

Just as A-Tui was grumbling and thinking it was impossible, Lu Ye had already silently taken out the Platinum Son's hood from the backpack on A-Tui's back and put it on.

"Don't worry, this artificially created life form will have some defects."

As Lu Ye spoke, he squeezed out the red juice from the Atria leaf and smeared it on the headgear.

Seeing this, A-Tui had no choice but to do as he was told.

However, instead of removing her own hood, she put the Son of Platinum hood over it.

Lu Ye took one look and thought to himself, "What kind of big-headed doll is this?"

Never mind, the heart rate monitor shows there are only these two nearby. If we can't fool them, we'll just take them out.

Lu Ye emerged from behind the pillar, startling the two Platinum Sons.

However, upon seeing the red hood, they put down their clubs.

"You scared me to death!"

"What are you doing here? Want to get a beating?"

“We are newcomers,” Lu Ye said. “Lord Fan Lei sent us, but we couldn’t find him after we arrived.”

"Really? So you're the new recruits the bank manager found... By the way, you guys are quite tall."

"Just overnutrition, what's so great about it?" another platinum son said dismissively. "With your height, no pretty female platinum girls will like you! You can just wait to be bachelors for the rest of your lives!"

Lu Ye and A Tui exchanged a silent glance.

The two thought to themselves, "No matter how you look at it, all of you platinum children look the same. How do you decide which of your kind is more beautiful?"

"Alright, since we've patrolled this area, our job is done. Since Manager Fan Lei isn't here, we'll show you the way and broaden your horizons."

"OK, thanks."

"You're quite polite!" said the Platinum Son. "By the way, since you're also Red and can speak, it proves you've already received the bank manager's favor. How does it feel?"

"Hmm...it's fine."

"That's good. Enjoy yourselves while you still can."

"What does this mean?" A-Tui asked curiously.

“What, didn’t the manager tell you?” said the Platinum Son. “We artificial life forms are born with defects.”

There are two kinds of Platinum Children. One kind is like us, with a well-proportioned figure and beautiful big eyes, but who cannot speak.

The other type, though resembling humans, has legs that gradually atrophy as it grows. Therefore, the Platinum Child usually ends up crawling on the ground. However, it's said that some female Platinum Children have made a pact with a pack of wolves, using their superior archery skills to hunt, and the wolves as their legs.

“Ah, I know that,” Lu Ye said.

He had heard about the Son of Platinum before.

“Alright, let’s get to the key location. We Platinum Children are born unable to speak. Bank Manager Monger gave us the ability to speak and made our bodies whole, but the price is that our consciousness will gradually disappear afterward.”

Chapter 649 What is an ATM?

"Gradually disappearing?"

"Tsk, why didn't the manager tell you anything?" Platinum Son's big eyes revealed an impatient look.

"That can't be right. This is very important. We usually notify you in advance."

"There was nothing we could do, because Manager Fan Lei was fertilizing the plants at the time and didn't have time to deal with us."

As Lu Ye spoke, his hand quietly reached behind him, where a small gap opened, revealing the hilt of the Mortal Blade.

He never expected the son of platinum to believe him; he was just making things up.

The next two Platinum Sons were easy to deal with.

The intelligence could have been obtained by interrogating them after they were subdued.

At this moment, the Son of Platinum nodded in agreement and said...

"Really? Then there's nothing we can do."

“The manager does indeed enjoy cultivating flowers, so that makes sense.”

A-Tui was stunned.

What do you mean by "understand"?

Even I can tell something's wrong with this situation!

Why are you able to accept this so readily?

“You don’t know, so let me explain,” said the Platinum Son. “The manager loves growing flowers and plants, especially a bright red flower called the Blood Rose. He can even go for days without eating in order to take care of these flowers.”

"Has this guy gone days without eating? Is he made of iron?"

“I said not to eat, not that the manager wouldn’t eat radishes from the garden when he’s hungry!” said Platinum Son. “The manager’s love for Blood Rose is so deep that he’s used it as a weapon.”

"Can flowers be used to make weapons?" Lu Ye asked.

“Of course, the manager’s weapon looks like a big bunch of blood roses at first glance, but it’s actually a club,” said the Platinum Son. “I’ve seen the manager smiling as he delivers flowers to people, then he’ll just smack them on the head with a loud bang!”

Lu Ye and A Tui exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Hmm, it seems we can't accept flowers from Fan Lei in the future."

"But the manager is really something. He knows perfectly well that Blood Rose is flammable and difficult to remove once it gets on your skin. Doing this could easily lead to him setting himself on fire!"

"We've digressed... Let's get back to the main topic."

The Platinum Son said, "The disappearance of consciousness is nothing to talk about; it's just what it sounds like. After a certain period of time, your consciousness will be gone, and your body will just become an empty shell. This is the price you have to pay for signing the contract with the bank manager and obtaining a healthy body."

"Really? I haven't heard of that..." A-Tu seemed to have completely immersed himself in the role.

"Hey, what can you do? You guys were just unlucky to run into the day when the bank manager was tending to his flowers."

"Okay, but why is the price consciousness?" Lu Ye asked curiously.

If we're really talking about the price, the soul is often more precious than consciousness.

But why did Monge choose consciousness?

"Of course, it's for storing runes!"

"Store Runes?"

“Of course,” said the Platinum Son. “You don’t think the Blood Dynasty’s runes are kept in some big, safe, and locked place, do you?”

"Isn't that right?"

“Of course not, the runes of the Mongwin Bank reside in everyone here!” said the Son of Platinum.

Lu Ye understood instantly.

Runes can not only be revealed, but can also be stored in the body.

No wonder the Blood King Mongols only wanted the shells of these Platinum Sons.

Because their shells can be used to store runes!

"We're all employees, so come on, let me show you around the work process."

"Wait, shouldn't we put runes on ourselves?" Lu Ye was very concerned about this.

"Not now. We have a conscious Platinum Child who takes Rune out to play every month. Recently, I've taken a fancy to a Marika doll. The magician asked for a high price, so I'm saving up to buy it."

Lu Ye understood.

In short, while you were still conscious, life was pretty comfortable, right?

“I have a question! How do you identify a Platinum Child who has lost consciousness?” A-Tui asked, raising his hand.

“That’s easy, you can tell at a glance,” said the son of platinum. “Staring blankly, sitting there motionless, or moving as slowly as if he’s drunk… you’ll understand once you see him.”

“Let’s go, we’ve finished patrolling here, let’s go to our work,” said Platinum Son.

"Workplace? Not here?" Lu Ye pointed to the steps leading to the temple behind.

"No, not there. There are many immortals there, who have also undergone the baptism of blood. They have runes on their bodies, though not many, but there are many immortals in total. Usually, the runes in the bodies of those immortals are used for lending money. Moreover, beyond that is the place where the blood nobles live. The Platinum Sons cannot go up without permission, or they will be dismissed. And even higher up is the top floor of the Blood Dynasty, where the bank manager lives. The bank manager hasn't been out for a while; I heard he's been spending time with his new wife!"

"Our workplace is in the Blood Domain behind us."

As they walked through the forest with the Son of Platinum and learned about the work, Lu Ye and A Tui also learned about the situation there.

In fact, these Platinum Children were unwilling to accept their current situation, unable to speak like their companions, and living as lowly artificial life forms in the Borderlands. They also understood that the Platinum Children had only gained the favor of Queen Renara of the Full Moon because the Kalia royal family was in decline and needed external support. Therefore, they decided to break away from their race and join the Blood King, Monger.

Although its final fate was to be used as a piggy bank inside the body after losing consciousness.

However, according to their own words and thoughts, it was worthwhile.

There are some Platinum Sons in the forest carrying strange horns, which they say were set up to prevent anyone from trespassing on their work site.

They can summon giant spirit skeletons to attack and block anyone who wants to enter.

After passing through the forest, the scenery changed abruptly.

Now Lu Ye finally understood why the wind blowing from the forest had a rusty smell.

As far as the eye could see, everything was crimson. Blood flowed across the land, forming shallow streams, and even the plants were stained with blood. Thick, hollow branches twisted like winding tentacles. The stench of blood in the air was so thick it made one dizzy. The Platinum Sons patrolled back and forth carrying clubs, and occasionally, the mutated giant crows and rotting wild dogs that Lu Ye and A Tui had encountered in Galid would stroll leisurely.

Judging from the smiles on the faces of those fully-fledged Platinum Sons, they don't seem to dislike the work environment here.

But Lu Ye felt that such art was still too early for humanity.

“It’s too dark…” A-Tui said slowly.

"Don't doubt it, this is the underworld."

Platinum's son gave the two a brief introduction to their jobs.

It's actually quite simple; the job is to patrol the area and check for petty thieves or anything like that.

"Haha, but actually, the job is pretty easy because there are definitely no thieves here!" said the Platinum Son. "If there were any thieves here, I'd rip my head off!"

"Then I'll not only twist my head off, but I'll also dig out what's inside!"

"I know, that's Brain Gold!!"

Lu Ye was delighted.
