Chapter 175 Uninvited Guests on a Rainy Day

[Number g12781, welcome to the mission world of reincarnation space.]

[This mission world is an unfinished exploration world. Continuing to explore the undiscovered world will receive additional rewards.]

[We have detected that you are a reincarnation entering this world for the first time. As compensation, you will receive additional rewards in some tasks.]

Accompanied by a somewhat familiar feeling of weightlessness, before Fang Yi opened his eyes, a sour smell of sweat rushed into his nostrils and all kinds of complicated sounds came into his ears.

Obviously, the environment at the birthplace of this mission is not very ideal, and even a bit harsh.

The broadcast from the reincarnation space continues in my ears.

[This mission is in Peaceful mode. You will not receive any rewards for killing friendly Reincarnators.]

[Warning: Please do not disclose information about the reincarnation space to non-reincarnated people in the mission world.]

[To view the mission world background information, please touch your right wrist and silently say "background information".]

Fang Yi opened his eyes and found himself in a cramped hotel room. It was a hotel, of course, but Fang Yi felt that it was more like a capsule hotel where he had stayed for a short rest during layovers in his previous life.

Apart from a bed, there is very little usable space in the hotel room.

Fang Yi could even smell a strange odor emanating from the bed beneath him, and it felt a little damp when he touched it.

Didn't the reincarnation space bring the reincarnated people together this time? Is it because this mission doesn't encourage cooperation, or is there some other reason?

[Or is it really important to hide the original identity of this mission?]

Before Fang Yi could continue to think about the unusual situation when entering the venue, his thoughts were interrupted by the noise coming from his ears.

The high-pitched moans of women and the roars of men, these unavoidable noises, were transmitted along the wooden structure of the house and finally poured into Fang Yi's ears, causing the walls to vibrate slightly.

Obviously, the sound insulation of such a low-end hotel cannot be described as good or bad, but is almost equivalent to non-existent.

Fang Yi retracted his thoughts on complaining about the harsh environment that the reincarnation space provided for the reincarnated people. To be cautious, he did not push the door open immediately to start exploring the world. Instead, he began to touch his right wrist in this narrow hotel and check the background information of the mission world.

Although he had obtained some valuable information from Kohler, that was information from the main god's side, and Fang Yi entered the mission through the reincarnation space.

He decided to first look at the intelligence provided by the space, complete the minimum level of intelligence collection, and then consider the next decision.
-
As he touched his right wrist, the information given by the reincarnation space also flooded into his mind.

Just as people gradually decay, nations will eventually reach their end. An empire that has prospered for millennia is now irreversibly damaged and on the verge of collapse.

The prosperous imperial capital is now filled with demons and monsters in human form. They are arrogant and unscrupulous, turning the city into a corrupt hell on earth.

Kill them, or become them?

[No matter what, you have already stood at the crossroads of history. Destruction or rebirth, everything will be decided by you.]

Fang Yi scratched his head, feeling that the basic information given by the reincarnation space this time was a little confusing to him.

He had no interest in destroying or reviving the empire.

From what he understood, the Revolutionary Army and the Empire in the world of Akagi Slasher were not a binary relationship of good and evil like the conflict between humans and demons in Demon Slayer, but more like two forces fighting for the world in historical texts.

Although the empire was corrupt, some of the people in the revolutionary army were just opportunists or bandits who had come ashore to make a living.

At least Fang Yi, who had received historical education in his previous life, did not fully agree with the revolutionary army's approach of inviting foreign ethnic groups into the country.

If given a choice, he would rather build his own power and change the world with his own will.

However, it was a bit too ambitious to discuss such a goal at this stage. What he had to do first was to kill the enemies chasing him, and by completing the tasks that had not yet appeared, he could retain the talent [Favored by the Evil] and the trait [Gifted] brought by [Bloody Duel], and continue to become stronger.

In this mission, he expected that the character he would construct through the [Character Role Playing Method] would be the most convenient way for him to achieve his goals and gain benefits from various forces.

In addition, he had already anticipated that this mission world was not that simple. Not only had there been reincarnations who had entered this world and changed the plot, but also because this was a real mission world.

The original story of Kill Aka is a science fiction story with a "dumpling-making" ending, where the imperial high-ranking officials are killed, the empire is dismembered, and finally the revolutionary army successfully seizes power and brings happiness and well-being to the people.

As long as you can ignore that the foreign ethnic groups assisted in breaking into the imperial capital only to sign a trade agreement, and after destroying the empire, they retreated back to the bitter cold land on the border.

And there is some strange logic that if some bad guys and nobles are killed, people's lives will suddenly get better in this world where the extraordinary elements of the "Imperial Weapon Users" exist.

In this world, Fang Yi feels that the final outcome of the empire will definitely not develop as the original ending of the story.

However, Fang Yi quickly shook his head and put away these useless and strange thoughts.

His idea is also very simple.

"But I'm just a 'newbie' who accidentally entered the Tier 2 world and is currently on my second mission, being hunted by unknown individuals.

“Even if you give me a trolley problem, I can’t change the empire any more than I can flip a switch and change the track and thus the direction of the train.

"I'm just a passerby holding a toilet peg. I'd better see which forces can make me stronger."

Fang Yi pushed open the door and prepared to walk out of the hotel to see which city in the empire he was in. He vaguely felt that this was not the imperial capital.
-
Just as Fang Yi walked out of the room and went from the second floor of this dilapidated hotel to the tavern on the first floor, a terrifying thunder was heard in the sky, followed by raindrops hitting the windows with a loud noise, and heavy rain that seemed to be pouring down from the windows.

Obviously, going out to explore the city now is an unwise choice.

As he began to look around the tavern, which was almost empty during the day, trying to find some natives to obtain information, the reminder sound of the reincarnation space rang in his ears.

[The initial identity of this world has been generated for you based on the accumulated merit points you have obtained.]

Your initial identity is described as follows:

"After my family fell into poverty and my parents' inheritance was seized by evildoers, I traveled to the imperial capital to seek justice from my father's old acquaintance, Minister Ernest.

As a result, he was turned away without even seeing the minister. After spending all the money he brought with him, he found it difficult to survive in the imperial capital and was filled with resentment towards the empire.

This poor noble tried to join the revolutionary army, but after going to the revolutionary army's birthplace, he couldn't find a way.

Fang Yi searched all his clothes and all his pockets, but only found a few threads.

At this moment, he finally realized the meaning of "penniless" - his pockets were cleaner than his face.

"This identity doesn't seem to be very good. Now I haven't even touched the main stage of the story - the imperial capital."

[The Imperial Capital is where all the Imperial Tools gather. We must find a way to get there.]

"I'm currently in a city in the south of the empire, the birthplace of the revolutionary army. So my main quest is to contact the revolutionary army here and become an assassin to kill the nobles?"

The reminder of the reincarnation space continues. [Warning: Due to unknown factors, your initial identity may change to a certain extent after traveling to certain areas.]

After completing several missions, Fang Yi has gradually guessed that the "unknown factors" in the description of the reincarnation space basically refer to elements related to the main god space.

Combined with the information he bought from Kohler with points, which described that "the main god side can freely choose their identity to a certain extent at the beginning", and the currently silent main god space, Fang Yi can already guess that after going to certain areas, he will be able to access the main god space system and choose his identity.

Through the information currently at hand, Fang Yi felt that he had grasped some of the keys to gaining benefits in this mission world.

"It seems that whether from the perspective of the main god space or the reincarnation space, this time's 'starting identity' is very important to the reincarnationists.

"I'm afraid it's closely related to their respective main quests."

The information subsequently given by the reincarnation space also confirmed Fang Yi's guess.

[Because the quest world is higher than your actual rank, the initial status obtained based on merit points will not be conducive to advancing the original main quest in the reincarnation space.]

[We are offering you this special compensation. This is only for the reincarnator with the reincarnation space number g12781. You will not be penalized for not completing this main quest.]

Fang Yi moved his fingers and began to think about his next actions, such as how to discover his original identity in order to obtain the corresponding main task.

At the same time, unlock some factions, start to reap benefits, and narrow the gap in strength with the enemies chasing you.

For example, obtaining the [Imperial Equipment] and obtaining the help of the [Imperial Equipment User].

But the arrival of an unexpected guest made Fang Yi realize that his main mission was not as simple as he thought.
-
When Fang Yi walked down the stairs, heavy rain suddenly fell in this unknown city, as if turning the city into a swamp.

Coupled with the almost non-existent urban sewage system in the other world and the poor urban planning, the streets were emptied of people in an instant - no one was willing to run in this terrible rainstorm.

Therefore, this rainstorm also "drove" a middle-aged man wearing a hood and whose clothes were soaked in the pouring rain into this nearly empty tavern and hotel that he almost never entered.

The middle-aged man cursed the weather, which was as fickle as a woman's mood. He was upset because the heavy rain had disrupted his schedule and soaked his clothes, and he vented his frustration on a stray dog ​​that was huddled at the door of a tavern to avoid the rain.

Facing the harmless stray dog, the middle-aged man made the gesture of a football player shooting a powerful shot towards the goal.

With just one kick and his good physical fitness, he kicked the poor stray dog ​​onto the street in the heavy rain.

Looking at the stray dog ​​limping and struggling in the heavy rain, the middle-aged man showed a proud and happy expression on his face, like a painter who had completed a masterpiece of his own.

After completing this task, the middle-aged man felt that his irritable mood caused by the heavy rain had finally improved a little.

He reached out and wiped his wet hair, and his fingers with ruby ​​rings brushed across the ends of his hair, smoothing up the hair that was wet and stuck to his forehead, and then smoothed the rain off his face.

He couldn't help but shiver as the chill brought by the rainstorm gradually seeped into his body.

The middle-aged man's coat had been soaked by the rain and stuck tightly to his body, making people feel a little depressed and heavy.

He could no longer endure the discomfort, so he took off his coat and casually draped it on an empty chair.

The pub was eerily quiet at this moment. Apart from the sound of the man pulling the chair, the only sound was the sound of raindrops hitting the window.

He looked around and found that there were two other people in the hall besides himself.

One is the dozing boss, leaning forward slightly, as if he is having a sweet dream.

The other was a strange customer, sitting quietly in a corner of the pub, seemingly isolated from the hustle and bustle outside.

He walked to the counter, gently woke up the dozing boss, and whispered for a towel.

The boss opened his eyes drowsily, glanced at him, and then took out a slightly worn towel from under the counter and handed it to him.

The middle-aged man took the towel and wiped the water stains on his face vigorously, as if he wanted to wipe away those unpleasant memories.

Under the cover of the towel, his eyes involuntarily fell on Fang Yi who was sitting in the corner.

In accordance with professional habit, the imperial spy code-named "Hyena" began to look at another customer, Fang Yi.
-
A city in the south of the empire, an unknown tavern, and heavy rain.

Facing the inquiring gaze of the Imperial ace spy, codenamed 'Hyena', who has been tracking the traces of the Revolutionary Army, trying to infiltrate the Revolutionary Army and obtain more intelligence about the Revolutionary Army.

Fang Yi just sat quietly in the tavern, staring intently at the rain curtain in a daze, seemingly unaware of the 'hyena's' prying, giving people a feeling that everything in the world has nothing to do with him.

Along with the heavy rain came dark clouds covering the sky. The dim light in the tavern reflected on Fang Yi's handsome face, outlining deep shadows, which made people feel favorable. Fang Yi's upright posture and unique temperament made the middle-aged man begin to speculate about Fang Yi's identity.

Fang Yi had a strange feeling sitting there, as if he was out of tune with the surrounding environment, yet also seemed to have naturally blended into this quiet tavern.

This strange feeling made the 'Hyena' feel a little curious and alert. He felt that Fang Yi's identity must be extraordinary.

He continued to wipe his hair with the towel, but his eyes never left Fang Yi, and he began to make a preliminary analysis of the other party's identity.

[Are you aristocrat? If so, you're one of those who've been quite wealthy. It's rare to find someone with such aura. Living in this godforsaken place, are you having trouble?]

[Anyway, ask about their background. If they have a good background, give them some money as a favor.]

If his background isn't good, I can sell him to the ladies of the capital and make a fortune. With his face and figure, those women will definitely like him. I can make a killing.

Just as Hyena began to formulate his plan of selling people, he suddenly felt a premonition of death.

It seemed as if he would die immediately if he wanted to do so.

Therefore, 'Hyena' quickly gave up this 'tempting' idea and prepared to use other options to deal with Fang Yi.

After staring at Fang Yi for a few seconds, for some reason, the middle-aged man codenamed "Hyena" found Fang Yi more and more pleasing to the eye, and even felt that this was a "probe" that could be developed to spy on the revolutionary army's intelligence.

So, as was unusual for him, he spoke to Fang Yi, even though he should have remained silent and low-key.

"This weather is terrible, don't you think?"

When Fang Yi heard the prompt in his ear that you were influenced by [The Favor of the Evil] and triggered the optional main mission [The Imperial Agent Infiltrates the Revolutionary Army's Probe], he smiled warmly at the Imperial Agent codenamed 'Hyena' and gave his reply.

"Yes, it's terrible weather, just as bad as my situation and luck."

But what Fang Yi was thinking in his heart was.

"I was worried that my initial status was too low, so I couldn't find anyone from the Revolutionary Army. I unlocked the [Revolutionary Army Faction] and joined it, and began trying to get help from [Imperial Equipment] and [Imperial Equipment Users].

"Are you planning on letting me infiltrate the Revolutionary Army? And are you planning on unlocking the Imperial Army Faction for me at lightning speed so I can profit from it?
"How can this person be considered a villain certified by [Favored by the Evil]? He's clearly a true 'good guy'."

Fang Yi put on a standard smile on his face. He was ready to squeeze a lot of profits from this imperial spy, and at the same time unlock the [Revolutionary Army Camp] and [Imperial Army Camp] at the speed of light to speed up the progress of the mission.
