Third, the King of the Night is indeed paying attention to every player, or in other words, everyone who is dragged into the night. The intensity of this attention is proportional to the number of times one enters the night. Yuki has entered the night twice, and it is estimated that the King of the Night will appear two more times.

Fourth, when day falls, night naturally collapses.

To sum up, it is not impossible to step into the darkness, but it is best to step into it less. The gain of just one strengthening point is not worth the energy consumed. As for how to step into it less?

Either kill each other and plunder each other, or pick up powerful soul lamps. Oh, isn’t this thing just like the airdrop in PUBG? Needless to say, what does this thing mean?

"Okay, we should go to Rosen City. Why are you still lying in bed with the sun shining on your butt?"

Yuuki turned his head and saw a salted fish like a cricket pupa on the bed, with two slender white silk legs sticking out from under the black skirt, swinging up and down.

"First, there's no sun in this damn place, and second, I didn't sleep at all last night!"

Mana jumped up suddenly, his eyebrows raised, and his flat chest heaving up and down.

It doesn’t matter if a monster-level player doesn’t sleep for a month, but the key is that she is very tired. After fighting the darkness all night, she is now relaxed and doesn’t even want to move a finger.

And this bastard looks like a decent man, but he has no gentlemanly manners at all, so he can torment me as much as he wants.

"Stop complaining. You know a lot of my secrets this time. If we want to understand each other, it will be most efficient if we fight side by side." Yuki snorted. He already knew what Liang Yi Mana wanted to do.

As part of his experiment, he dragged Manas into the Furnace of Night, where the powerful and strange realm amazed the girl.

Yeah, that's right. I'm getting to know him better and better.

Mana tilted his head suspiciously and asked tentatively, "How many people know your secret?"

You little brat, are you trying to play tricks on me? You can't tell anyone anyway.

Yuki sneered inwardly. After being together for so long, he found that the strongest label on Mana was "curiosity", just like when he went to the market yesterday and annoyed the stall owners with questions.

It made no sense, but it satisfied her curiosity.

"No more than five."

"Really?"

"What did I lie to you for?"

call out--

Mana jumped directly in front of Yuki and held his hand. His blue eyes seemed to be shining, and his attitude changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Please wait a moment, my dear brother. I'll be on my way right after I wash up."

She rushed into the bathroom in an instant and stuck her head out from behind the door.

"Also, no peeking!"

"Go away, I'll give you five minutes."

Yuki cursed back, looked at the loli and giggled, then closed the door. Then there was the sound of running water, as if he could see a petite, sweet-looking girl standing under the shower head, with crystal clear water droplets flowing over her fair skin.

What the hell am I dreaming about? I really became a gentleman, right?

Yuki shook his head, continued looking out the window, listening to the sound of running water, and suddenly raised his head.

A black dot streaked across the sky, and invisible spiritual power swept across the town, as if it were touched and suddenly concentrated towards this side.

Players, are you so unscrupulous?

Yuki withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the scenery.

There is no problem from such a distance. This player is searching for humans without soul lamps, because ordinary people cannot survive the night without soul lamps, so the only ones who can survive are their own kind.

If you are too high-profile, you will be punished sooner or later.

Yuki sneered. He was a scoundrel and would not go around declaring war like a war maniac. Instead, he took a different approach.

Blend into the dungeon, hide yourself like an ordinary person, tear off your disguise at the critical moment, and the winner takes all.

"Brother, I'm ready."

The bathroom door was pushed open, and Mana, who had changed into another black and white lolita dress, stood at the door. Her hair was wet, and she was as innocent as a lotus flower emerging from the water. Her slender and white legs and innocent face were actually a little attractive.

Coincidentally, there is a player around me who is the least like a player. His roots are fixed and he surpasses all acting skills.

"Well, let's go." Yuki put on his suit, adjusted his shirt and tie, and hung the exquisite soul lamp on his chest. As soon as he raised his hand, he was immediately hugged.

An invisible spiritual force was monitoring everything in the town. He had no key target, but instead took in hundreds of people, analyzing every movement, like a mechanical surveillance camera.

He saw a lively girl carrying a handsome young man down the stairs. They were carrying a large suitcase filled with all kinds of clothes, just like travelers traveling around.

He heard the two of them checking out, and the landlady asked, "Why do you look so tired, little sister?", and the girl replied, "It was very intense with my brother last night." Then there was an awkward silence, and the landlady looked at him like a **.

There were no players in Oak Town, and it was only one night, so it was impossible for two players from the same team to meet up.

I retracted my preface. Not being a player is a huge bad thing.

Yuki walked out of the hotel with gritted teeth, recalling the proprietress's disgusted look, while reaching out to knead Mana's face into dough. He raised his head and saw the sonic boom ring lingering in the air.

He can scan a small town in a few seconds. This is a very powerful psychic player.

Snapped.

The match lit, Yuuki took a puff of the cigarette and looked in the direction he left.

Go ahead and fight. When you are exhausted, I will come out to collect your bodies.

Chapter 4 Happy Cooperation

Rosen, Faroe Kingdom.

As the most powerful country on the west side of the Dark Continent, Rosen City is also an important western town of the kingdom. Compared with Oak Town in the Black Forest, it is a completely different world.

The towering chimneys emitted white smoke into the sky, making the air very choking. The city was located in a valley. The Rosen River that ran through the city emitted a strong stench. All kinds of feces, domestic garbage, and corpses flowed down the river. The surrounding mountains had been cut down and were bare.

The steam engines of giant trucks made a grunting sound as they carried high-quality logs from the Black Forest into the city. The not-so-wide road was blocked by all kinds of vehicles, with horse-drawn carriages and trams passing by, and dense crowds of people on both sides of the road.

Those wearing coarse shirts and with numb faces were workers going to work, those wearing black suits and top hats were gentlemen of higher class, and children were running around in the crowd, with shouts of "Catch the thief" coming from time to time.

It has a bit of a steampunk feel, as the background story mentions.

Yuki took out a white handkerchief and put it in front of his nose. The air pollution here was too serious. The whole city seemed to be shrouded in mist, which was harmful to the health of ordinary people.

The Aboriginal soul lamp is related to physical strength, and doing so is tantamount to chronic suicide.

"This city is so dirty and smelly." Mana said with disdain. It took her a whole day and night to reach this city, and she was a little disappointed. "Their sick souls' lamps will become dim. Aren't they afraid of being swept into the darkness?"

"They are afraid, but it's not just the night that brings death. Starvation and freezing are also the same. As for those who are truly afraid of the night, they don't care about these pollutions." Yuki pointed to the distance. There was only one emerald green mountain. With the player's eyesight, he could see exquisite villas.

"Class? I suddenly discovered the advantages of the doomsday world. Let's go, let's go for a walk in the city."

Yuuki said nothing. Players were mobile disasters, not heroes who saved the world. Besides, he didn't have the energy to interfere with evil.

There are 136 players left.

The numbers on the panel began to change rapidly yesterday. No players died on the first night because there were no idiots among the players who could reach the monster level, and how could a weak person conduct an experiment?

But the numbers started to change yesterday during the day. Six players were eliminated. They either died at the hands of their own kind or at the hands of the Night Watchmen.

Then last night, we lost 15 people and the fighting became more intense.

Yuki was like an outsider, riding in a carriage to Rosen City. If he really wanted to get any clues, it would be to understand more about this copy and Ryogi Manas.

After all, the people of Oak Town are simple and honest, and as they leave the Black Forest, all kinds of troubles arise.

This ghost place is full of thieves and bandits at night. They use the cover of darkness to attack travelers. Countless crimes are hidden by the darkness.

Mana doesn't act like a player, but she is a player after all. Yuki didn't even draw his sword to deal with these troublesome things, but threw them all to her to deal with, and the innocent girl handled them very cleanly.

She spared no one who deserved to be killed. When hundreds of bandits were chopped to pieces by her laser net, the girl standing among the corpses tilted her head and smiled. Yuki even felt a strange sense of beauty.

"The reincarnation game always turns normal people into psychopaths."

He covered his face and threw a few copper coins to buy the newspaper from the search newsboy. They had killed hundreds of people on the way, so they were not short of money.

"Ready to look for clues in the newspaper?" Mana poked his head over. After a day and a night, the relationship between the two became much more natural.

"Well, the technological level of this world is too low. The most we have is the telegraph, but don't underestimate these natives."

Yuki casually explained that some big things cannot be hidden, and all the players are people who do big things.

A massacre occurred in the Kingdom of Britta, and tens of thousands of people were killed.

An earthquake struck the Virgin Islands, and tens of thousands of people sank into the sea along with the island.

Shocking! The Duchy of Rick was covered by an unknown virus, and tens of thousands of people turned into horrific zombies.

Experts analyze that the minions of the night have reappeared, and they generally have the following characteristics

《Under strong demands from various countries, the Night's Watch began to assemble》

The Night Tide appeared in the Kingdom of Tiris, and tens of thousands of people disappeared overnight.

The Night Tide Appears in the Eastern Border of the Kingdom of Britta, and Nearly Half of the People in Several Small Towns Have Disappeared

.......

Each item is a front-page headline. Ordinary people are skeptical, but Yuki can extract information from it at a glance.

"That's a lot of information. It hasn't been that long, and players are already influencing the world."

"You said we are a moving natural disaster. Don't rush to read it. At least find a cafe." Mana snatched the newspaper and jumped to the front in three or two steps.

Yuki shook his head helplessly. Curiosity and a love of comfort are Manas' characteristics. He would try any local specialties he encountered along the way.

After dodging more than a dozen pickpockets and rejecting several obvious scams, the two found a decent cafe on Central Street. The soothing sound of the piano made Yuki feel a little better.

After taking a sip of the herbal-scented coffee, Yuki spread out the newspaper like those idle gentlemen, without having to think much.

The tribal massacre and the sinking of the island were definitely the aftermath of the players' battle. Yuki was well aware of the destructive power of monster-level players. With the level of materials science in this world, it would only take Yuki a few minutes to raze the city of Rosen, with hundreds of thousands of people, to the ground.

"They seem to be going a little too far?" Mana happily ate her meat pie, looking no different from a noble lady.

"Every player has a different personality. Some are low-key, some are violent, just like people don't care whether they hurt ants when they walk." Yuki said indifferently. The so-called order and kindness are only for their own kind.

"Besides, they do this for a purpose. For example, the player who sank the island set off a black flame that soared into the sky. Doesn't it look like he's calling on his friends?"

"Oh, using my iconic power to remind my teammates." Mana nodded and licked the minced meat with his tongue. "And these minions of the night are referring to us. That's right, in the eyes of the natives, players are not good people."

"The key word is 'again', proving that players have visited this dungeon before. Of course, this isn't news."

Yuuki shrugged. His predecessors had entered the "Global Insect Plague" and the "Wizard's Tower", but the Dark Continent was different. It was a killing arena and players had no ability to take sides.

"The Night Watchers are the resistance force of the dungeon. They are hostile to the Night King, but they are all the same to the players."

"Well, his strength is okay, but his attack method is too simple." Mana nodded again. During her journey, she killed an evil night watchman, proving that her identity did not have any sacredness.

He was a level 7 Night Watchman with almost extraordinary strength of level I. His attack method was still the Soul Shotgun. Yuki dug out a lot of secrets from him.

As a transnational organization, the Night's Watch has offices in every population center, branches in every region, and branches in the kingdom's capital. When added together, the number is quite large.

But this is useless. Yuki estimates that a level 3 Night Watcher will have monster-level power, which is enough to threaten the player.

"Can you find a way to cooperate?"

"It's a bit difficult. The Night's Watch will find those who have escaped the darkness and returned. There are very few of them among the natives, and they are usually players at the moment."

This information was also obtained from the Level 7 Night Watchman. When this guy saw him, he turned around and ran away.

"Well, it seems the only way is to become enemies."

"Not necessarily, because the enemy of my enemy could be our friend, and we haven't killed any of their people." Yuki took this as a hidden clue. He firmly believed that as long as the benefits were sufficient, even demons could cooperate, let alone players.

In addition, from this night watchman, Yuki personally experienced their power system.

The main method of attack is to use standard firearms with ancient shapes, fill the soul into the barrel and fire it out. In addition, the soul energy is used to increase physical fitness and defense. He can barely be regarded as a combat mage.

Soul energy, standard firearms, eh, it looks very similar to my hunter musket.

Yuki was moved and said nonchalantly, "The Night Watch headquarters is in the capital of the Kingdom of Britta. I'll go and see it when I have a chance."

"I have no objection to that. I heard that the wine from the Kingdom of Britta is quite delicious. I will definitely drink as much as I can when the time comes." Manas swung his legs, and his thoughts were hard to follow.

The Kingdom of Britta is located in the east of the Kingdom of Faro, in the center of the Continent of Darkness. It is tens of thousands of kilometers away and it would take several months to get there by carriage.

Yuki is not in a hurry. He will go to that place sooner or later. For example, this Rosen City can barely be considered a small landmark that will attract players to come and join him.

Night is the main theme, and the key to the newspaper is the night tide.

Yuki turned the page and saw that the entire page was filled with news about the "Night Tide", and the words were filled with fear.

As expected, the night tide is like a plague. Once it appears, large areas of lights will go out. Usually the tide will recede, but this time the prompt clearly stated that not only will it not recede, it will continue to spread.

[Hint 3: Night tides will appear randomly, will not disappear on their own, and will spread around the next night]
