Sheng Ye

Ye Sheng (叶胜) was an agent for the Execution Bureau.

Biography

He studied in Cassell College, working in the Execution Bureau after graduating. He met and fell in love with his colleague Sakatoku Aki, but the pair decided to keep their love secret, since the bureau wouldn't allow emotionally compromised agents to work together. Lu Mingfei perceived them as a natural pair, while Nono wondered why they weren't already married.

He was introduced in the story when he and Aki accompanied Guderian and Nono to interview Lu Mingfei in China. After that, they left on a secret mission to explore the submerged ancient City of Bronze under Mance Rundstedt's command, where they managed to retrieve the copper vase that contained Norton and the case that guarded the Seven Deadly Sins.

When they awakened the city's defenses, an apparition with Ye Sheng's shape attempted to earn Aki's trust and attack her, but Ye Sheng came back to rescue her in the last second. The pair got lost on the city until they received a map from the school (provided by Mingfei through Lu Mingze). The map led them to the copper vase that contained Constantine, and he suggested they take it back to the boat. When a dragon servitor started chasing them, Ye Sheng stayed behind to give Aki more time to reach the surface. Before she left, they kissed and declared their love for each other.

In his time underwater, he located the case that guarded Norton's Seven Deadly Sins, which he tied to his torso before running out of oxygen and dying.

After the pair died on the mission, Cassell College released doves to signal a mourning period for the fallen agents. He was found by Mingfei and Nono during the Dragon-slayer operation a few months later and they recovered his body.
