Night World Players

Chapter 108 Date her and make her shy! (Two in one)

Paradise, the mountainous area outside the royal city.

At the foot of the mountain, there is an abandoned wooden house buried in tangled grass and trees, which looks like it has been uninhabited for a long time.

A dark figure slid into the wooden house silently: "Deputy Captain, it's all done."

"According to the instructions from Captain Last, we selected a location and set off the fireworks as soon as we received the signal."

"The trajectory and height of the fireworks have been calculated and simulated many times, and it happens to be the angle that allows the entire scene to be seen from the third window of the bedroom."

"Ah."

Another voice came from the dark shadows of the wooden house: "I saw it all. Thank you for your hard work."

"What about the rest of the mess? Have you cleaned it up?"

“It’s all been cleaned up.”

The visitor nodded and said, "After the fireworks were set off, someone from the Royal City came to inspect, but they found nothing."

"All traces left at the scene have been completely erased, and I also used my own supernatural powers to perform special anti-divination treatments."

"It can be ensured that even if a supernatural being with divination or precognition abilities intervenes, they will gain nothing."

"Speaking of which, Vice Captain..."

He paused, with a hint of confusion in his voice: "Don't you think that the way we are communicating now doesn't seem like we are shore guards at all..."

"Rather, is he more like a sneaky villain who is plotting something in secret?"

As he spoke, he lit the windproof lantern in his hand.

The bright light illuminated the originally dim and silent darkness in the wooden house.

Under the reflection of the light, the boundary between light and darkness in the house became clear, and the dark shadows surged and turned into a vague human figure.

The shadow servant condensed into a physical body, looked at the shore guard members in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Although they are candidates who can pass the selection and become official members of the Shore Watcher organization...the members of the Shore Watcher team who followed Captain Last and himself to the paradise this time all met the requirements in terms of character and talent.

But after all, they still lack experience and are too young and immature.

The new blood of these organizations all have a kind of almost fanatical worship for the title of Shore Guardian.

They believe that the Shore Guards are the greatest organization in the world, sacred and inviolable.

"I know that you all come from countries near the Watchtowers and are protected by the headquarters of the organization... You grew up hearing the name of the Shore Guardians."

"In your hearts, the shore guards are the embodiment of justice and the savior of human civilization."

"And all the humans on the continent... should also give applause, flowers and glory to the great savior, just like those countries and city-states that have been protected."

"So, in your opinion—"

"We are acting in such a sneaky way now... It actually insults the upright and glorious image of the shore guards in your mind, right?"

Opposite the Shadow Servant, the team member did not dare to respond to his deputy captain's words.

After all, he is a sixth-level boss and we cannot afford to offend him.

However, that slightly flickering look undoubtedly confirmed the correctness of Shadow Servant's guess.

"In fact, the shore guards have never been as brilliant as you imagine."

Shadow Pu asked softly, "If there is a patient suffering from a tumor and is in critical condition, what would you do?"

The team member thought for a moment and said, "Of course, we should remove the diseased part of the lesion."

"Yes."

Shadow Servant nodded: "For the patient as a whole and for other healthy organs, this is undoubtedly the best and least costly option."

"But what if it is the cancerous organ that was removed?"

"Sacrificing a small number of individuals for the sake of the overall fate is a principle that everyone can understand."

"But when the fate of the few who are to be abandoned... actually falls on you, how many people can accept it?"

"What's more, even if the lesion is removed, all it can do is prolong the patient's life, but it cannot really cure the cancer."

The thin shadow surges:

“We are not the saviors of civilization, and we cannot become the saviors.”

"We are just poor scavengers who keep struggling because we don't want to accept the inevitable outcome."

The shadow servant gazed out the window of the hut, at the quiet royal city shrouded in the night below the hillside.

"To the residents here, we are not the bright and righteous shore guardians."

"Instead, they deprived them of their livelihoods, destroyed their homes, and snuffed out their hopes and futures with their own hands..."

"An unforgivable executioner, an extremely hateful demon."

……

The team members listened to Shadow Servant's story and seemed to not quite understand it.

And Shadow Servant obviously only made a few impromptu remarks and had no intention of elaborating further.

He stared at the Royal City in the night and brought the topic back on track: "Inside the Royal City, what about the surveillance of Queen Helen and the Captain in the palace?"

"How's it going?"

"Gray is in charge of this part of the work."

"Her rank is the lowest, so she is least likely to arouse the queen's vigilance if she keeps watch near the palace." The team member answered.

This is the division of labor within the shore guard team.

Since we need to monitor the movements within the palace, we must send people to guard near the palace in real time.

However, such behavior is also likely to arouse the vigilance of Helen, the Queen of the Underworld.

He is the most powerful person who is comparable to a legend in his own home field. The higher the level of the extraordinary person, the more conspicuous his existence is in the eyes of other powerful people.

If a sixth-level shadow servant were to sneak into the royal city by himself, he would most likely be discovered by the Queen of the Underworld the moment he entered, and the war would be ignited directly.

Therefore, the best choice is to have Gray, who has just joined the shore guard, has the lowest rank and is not much stronger than ordinary people, to monitor.

To the queen, there was no real difference between a Gray who was only at the first or second level and an ordinary person.

It is an existence that will not arouse any vigilance at all and will be subconsciously ignored.

"According to Gray's daily report, the palace is shrouded in a layer of frozen dusk light, and it is impossible to peek into the interior."

"However, no one has entered or left the palace in the past few days, just like usual."

"However, according to your previous instructions, Vice Captain, all our observers in the city, including Gray, have been recalled."

"Calculating the time, it's almost time to gather now."

As soon as these words fell.

The next moment, the door of the wooden house was opened.

Figures in white robes filed in...

They were all members of the shore guard team sent to Paradise this time, and they had just arrived at the royal city of this country a month ago.

Follow the instructions of the captain and vice-captain.

During this month, they integrated into the city as quietly as mercury flowing on the ground, monitoring every corner like shore guards and controlling every detail of the interior of this royal city.

However, now, all these sentries have been recalled by the deputy captain.

Gray was also among them. She had fair skin, dull grey hair braided into a bun, and her petite figure was hidden in a black hooded cloak.

Her clothes were made entirely of black and white, making her look like a winter fairy in a colorless world.

The shore guards gathered in the wooden house, and Gray pulled up her hood to hide her face.

Before officially starting this operation...

The six months of training and preparation with her brother Rust at the headquarters of the Watchtower can be said to be the happiest time of Gray's life.

It even surpasses the memories in Frozen Water Town.

She lives in the peaceful and harmonious Shore Watcher headquarters, and trains every day.

After each training session, Brother Rast would often take her to the town near the Watchtower to play, eat some strange and delicious food, or take her to various entertainment venues.

During the past six months, Gray had seen many new and strange things that were commonplace to the residents near the Watchtower, but she had never experienced in her previous wandering career.

Of course, for Gray...

Even if Rast took her to do nothing but wander around aimlessly, she would be satisfied enough.

and so--

I must assist Brother Last as soon as possible to complete this operation against the paradise.

When this operation is over, the two of them will return to the Watchtower together to continue the good times they had before.

Thinking of this, Gray raised her emerald green eyes and stared at the dark shadows in the wooden house, waiting for the deputy captain to give further instructions.

Although in this operation, Rast was the captain.

But for some reason, by the time Gray arrived at the royal city, Last had disappeared, with only occasional instructions sent back.

The one who took over the management of the shore guard team was this sixth-level deputy captain.

Gray was very concerned about Last's whereabouts, but as an ordinary member of the shore watch team, she was not qualified to know the full picture of the plan according to the principle of confidentiality.

I only vaguely learned from the deputy captain that Brother Rast seemed to be a core figure in carrying out a secret mission.

As her mind raced, Gray saw the shadowy deputy captain cough lightly.

“Paradise Lost”

"The ultimate goal of the plan we are currently implementing is to completely destroy Paradise and the entire Underworld."

"This is a country with a wrong form of existence, just like a cancerous tumor in a patient's body..."

"It has nothing to do with justice or the innocence of the people here. It is a deformity that must be eradicated for the overall fate of civilization."

According to the confidentiality guidelines, it is also to prevent the plan from being leaked...

In the early stages of the mission, except for the two captains, Last and Shadow Puppets, most of the other team members knew nothing about the ultimate goal of this operation.

At this moment, the reason why Shadow Servant chose to reveal everything was obviously because the plan had already progressed to the stage where the inside story had to be disclosed.

If the previous stage was just a preparation phase of collecting intelligence and setting up the scene, then what comes after this means that the real action will begin.

Thinking of this, the expressions of Gray and other members of the shore guard team became serious.

Destroy a country.

Such a major action will inevitably be accompanied by blood and death, bloodshed and sacrifice.

Sure enough, Shadow Servant's voice sounded after a slight pause.

"The reason why we asked you to gather together again this time is because we received the latest information from Captain Last—"

“Things are going pretty well over there.”

"In other words, the first part of the "Lost Paradise" plan has been successfully completed."

“That’s why—”

"Starting tomorrow, our shore guard team's plan will begin the second phase."

The second phase begins... Does that mean that the vice-captain is finally going to reveal the exact details of this plan to us?

In other words, will I be able to see my brother Rast again soon?
After receiving this message, Gray couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The next moment, Shadow Servant's calm voice came again.

"According to the leader and Captain Last's repeated confirmations, the core of this country's existence, including the source of the underworld distortion, all comes from the queen of this country, the Lord of the Underworld - Helen."

"Therefore, the specific action we need to take is to decapitate Helen, the Queen of Paradise, and seize the relic of the God of Death."

"However, let's not talk about Queen Helen's status and power for now."

"Even if the decapitation operation we planned is really successful, it will still be extremely difficult to take the relic of the god of death out of the palace in the center of the royal city amidst the layers of protection."

"And if the 'Relic of the God of Death' had not been taken away, the kingdom of the underworld would not have collapsed, and the plan for 'Lost Paradise' would have ended in failure."

Shadow Servant paused slightly.

"So, Captain Last decided to use himself as bait—"

"Get involved."

As he said this, Shadow Pu's voice couldn't help but carry a hint of admiration.

Every extraordinary person, especially the powerful ones, has his own pride.

Be it wearing women's clothes or selling one's body to use the beauty trap... these are all considered humiliating to the self-esteem and status of the strong. Some people would rather die than suffer such humiliation.

but--

This captain, who looks so young, accomplished all this without changing his expression.

Even according to the information sent back by Last, his strategy of intervening himself had already completed the first stage.

She was sent to the palace as a maid, and her boyfriend was a high and mighty queen who probably had problems with her sexual orientation.

Ace's admiration, bondage, wooden horse, tortoise shell bondage... Shadow Servant couldn't imagine how much humiliating and cruel torture Last had endured in this week in order to gain the trust of the Lily Queen.

This awareness of sacrificing oneself for the greater good is something that Yingpu at least feels ashamed of.

He coughed lightly once more, clearing his mind of the association of his captain suffering all kinds of inhumane humiliation in the palace.

This is a great disrespect to Rast... a noble man who truly interprets the meaning of the term shore keeper.

"Cough cough."

"In short, what we need to do in the second phase of the plan is to assist Captain Last's actions—"

"It will allow him to successfully establish a more friendly bilateral relationship with the Queen of the Underworld."

"This is to gain the trust of Queen Helen and allow her to leave her home palace unguarded."

“Introduce it to the location we have preset in advance to complete the final plan.”

The shadow servant's gaze was serious, and the other shore guards in the team also looked solemn.

Although at the moment I could not understand what "more friendly bilateral relations" meant specifically.

But there is no doubt that they all felt from the admiring voice of Shadow Servant... the noble spirit of Captain Last, whom they had never met before, who had joined the game and sacrificed himself, and they felt honored for it.

"In addition, Captain Last himself briefly summarized the core elements of our operation into the following two points—"

Shadow Servant paused for a moment, and uttered a final, low-pitched conclusion:

"Date it."

"Make her shy."
