I am a reincarnation player.

"Okay, can I go now?"

"Of course not. The sixth night is coming soon, and you have to help us find prey, such as the Hall of Valor we just left."

"You dare to touch them?"

"Hahaha, as long as I can kill them, I wouldn't dare to touch anyone. Besides, they have the name 'hero' that I hate the most."

Del Dole swallowed and looked at the brainless player, then at the lazy bishop who was squatting on the stone with an idiotic expression.

Well, I'm on board.

Chapter 8 Players, against players

《Flan Kingdom, the city of Serral was destroyed!》

《Destruction! Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives!》

The Faran royal family angrily denounced the Night's Watch for their incompetence and ordered them to immediately drive the minions of night into the tide!

In the morning cafe in Yedu, Yuki was flipping through the newspaper. It was the first time he had seen so many exclamation marks in a headline after being in the Dark Continent for so long.

Towns had been destroyed before, but those were in remote areas and the impact was not as strong as this. But this time it happened in the core of the continent, far away from the night tide.

Everyone on the continent suddenly felt the weight of the words "Minions of the Night".

If we encounter the night tide, perhaps half of the people can survive. But if we encounter the night minions, hundreds of thousands of people will disappear in just ten minutes, which is even more terrifying. Moreover, the tide can be predicted, but how can the minions be predicted?

"It's terrible! The tide is pushing everyone towards the center of the continent, and now that the tide hasn't arrived, an even more terrifying disaster is erupting in the center."

"Isn't this a good thing? Those dirty outsiders won't come, and the general can breathe a sigh of relief, not having to shoot refugees."

"What the hell! We're right in the middle of the continent. It's terrifying! If we run to the edge, we'll run into the tide, and if we stay, we'll be tormented by the minions."

"Ye should be fine, this is the headquarters of the Night's Watch."

"Those bastards are unreliable. Hurry home and pack up your belongings. Let's hide in the countryside."

The cafe was very noisy. The gentlemen had no regard for their decorum and were arguing loudly. Yuki listened with a wry smile.

It was really terrible. People from outsiders were desperately running to the center, and people from the center were running to outsiders. There was no safe place in the vast Dark Continent, and the information he knew was more detailed.

The Night's Watch suffered heavy losses.

The Fran Kingdom branch was almost completely destroyed, and the newly formed Southern Legion was mostly destroyed before it could be used, and also took away a level 1 Night's Watch who came after hearing the news.

According to Finina's internal intelligence, the Night's Watch is also making adjustments and concentrating its forces in the center, but they are still arguing.

An organization that has existed for over a thousand years has too many factions. The local faction is unwilling to obey orders to retreat. They want to defend their hometown or protect their property, because once they run away, all the accumulated wealth will be given to those covered by the tide of darkness.

The fundamentalists were also unwilling to retreat. They would rather follow their oath and fight to the death, because the purpose of the Night Watch was to maintain order in the night, and they could not bear to see the areas covered by the tide of night fall into true darkness.

"The Night's Watch is always quarreling and has to deal with pressure from the various kingdoms. On the contrary, the players are more united."

Yuki gave a sarcastic smile. Why did the organization in the copy seem so huge, but it repeatedly revealed its flaws to the players? This was not related to combat power or IQ, but because they were in the game and the interest chain was too complicated, making it difficult for them to make rational decisions.

But players are different. They will go wherever there are benefits, and the benefits are simple and clear.

"That girl is also a fundamentalist, right? Why did she evacuate Rosen City so obediently?" Mana took off his shoes and rubbed Yuki's trouser legs with his white silk toes.

"Because I told her the difference between 'small justice' and 'great justice'. It is the people of the Dark Continent who need her to live, not me." Yuki quietly retracted his legs, glared at the laughing loli, then unfolded the map and drew a circle.

This is the current range of the poison circle. Just like in PUBG, it does not simply shrink towards the center. No one knows where the next safe point will be. Fortunately, there is still some distance.

There are 1000 million square kilometers and 90 players left.

Yuki took a glance and saw that the probability of players meeting each other was very high, and the Dark Continent was clearly divided into two areas.

The safe zone and the poison circle, including the radio, are unusable within the poison circle. Combined with prompt one, it falls into true silence and no one can send out any messages.

"If I were on a solo mission, I would definitely grab the airdrop, then hide in the poisonous circle, and finally come out to reap the spoils."

"But you brought me with you. It's not easy to pick up two powerful soul lamps." Mana continued with a smile, taking a bite of strawberry cake.

Yuki rolled his eyes at her. Those who could grab the airdrop were all experts, and there were also cases where they had killed too many Night Watchmen and had to patch things up themselves. This was a major threat and they had to find a way to deal with it.

He did not allow the emergence of enemies other than those in the intelligence, and colored them with crayons. This was the division of the Night's Watch military district based on the intelligence provided by Fenina.

Thousands of Night Watchmen were withdrawn. Those below level 6 were of little use, so they were stationed in various towns to search for the whereabouts of the players. Those above level 6 were organized into mobile corps, each with its own defense zone.

With Yedu as the core, the closer to the inside, the stronger the defense. As the tide spreads, it will slowly shrink towards the center to ensure that the "poison circle" shrinks to a range of 10 kilometers. They still have a chance to fight.

A wise judgment: the Night's Watch is not very afraid of the Night Tide. As long as the players are trapped in the Night Tide and the lights go out, even an iron man will be ground into pieces.

Of course, the price of doing so was also very high. The Night's Watch, who were supposed to hunt down the players, actually ran even faster and couldn't even spare any manpower to cover the refugees. Naturally, they were scolded.

That commander is a wonderful man, not at all bound by moral constraints.

Yuki smiled, placed a few silver coins on the table, drank every drop of his coffee, and adjusted his suit collar.

"Let's go. It's no use being a salted fish like this all the time."

"Isn't it good to be a salted fish? Sit here, drink coffee, read the newspaper, and wait for them to fight to the death."

"No, if you don't want to go, go back to the hotel."

"I don't want to be alone!"

Mana jumped up and caught up in just a few steps. Such a lively girl attracted many kind smiles. In this doomsday, the innocence of children became more precious.

An old man with a goatee was sitting by the street window. His smile wrinkled his face, and the light of his soul in his chest was very dim, obviously unable to survive any tide.

Wearing a black suit, a top hat, and a sapphire-studded cane, he looked like an elegant old gentleman. He watched Mana leave with a kind gaze, and only took a sip of coffee after his back disappeared.

"Mr. Klein, aren't you going to follow?" A blonde girl dressed as a maid walked up to him and asked in a cold tone.

"Chase? If you look at the minions of the night for even a second, the alarm will be triggered. Those spies were deceived just like the curly-haired baboon before." The old man snorted unhappily, then smiled playfully, "Only the extraordinary can monitor the extraordinary. You did a good job, without revealing any problems at all."

They are the Night's Watch's Court, responsible for internal surveillance and purging traitors who break their oaths. Of course, there are too many Night's Watch who break their oaths now, so they are only responsible for clearing out those who become bandits and use the darkness for personal gain.

"Do you want to continue following?"

"Believe it or not, you will be discovered if you step out of this door. Anyone who dares to sneak into Yedu must be very capable."

"Should we arrest him?"

"What kind of arrest? Do you want to reduce this city to ruins? Why are all the people in this court of justice idiots?" The old man was no longer elegant. With the unique viciousness of a secret agent, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

The clues were sent by the Rosen branch. Christian Furnina always releases mechanical carrier pigeons, so he would naturally be targeted. The infiltration of the Night Watch has happened repeatedly in previous catastrophes. How could they not be prepared?

Generally speaking, this is the result of mind control, just like the great loss that the Southern Legion just suffered. The headquarters began to adjust its deployment while conducting internal investigations, but Finina obediently returned to the headquarters to report on her work, and the seven-member jury observed her closely.

There was no sign of being controlled, which either meant that the minion's control skills were extraordinary and could escape the prying eyes of seven first-level night watchmen, or that Finina was willing to be an accomplice.

The former is less likely, while the latter...

"That silly girl, Fernina, is a stubborn person. She'd rather die than give in. Although she's stubborn, she's not stupid. She won't be easily deceived."

"Your Excellency, the first law of the Inquisition is that you cannot trust any feelings." The maid said coldly.

"Have you guys watched too many spy movies and think the Inquisition is a cold-blooded executioner? Or have you forgotten the second rule: you may not punish any of your comrades based on mere speculation?" Klein was very unhappy. These young people were too deeply influenced by spy movies and thought the Inquisition should be expressionless and arbitrarily decide the life and death of others.

"Tell me, why is it that their sins are so thin?"

"According to Intelligence VII.2335, some minions are very cunning and observant. Once they realize that killing Night's Watchmen will cause trouble, they will stop immediately."

"What about 'Rosen Night'? There's no reason for them to come out and help."

"According to intelligence V.3771, during the catastrophe five hundred years ago, some minions pretended to aid the Night's Watch, but in reality they intended to launch a fatal betrayal and seize the 'Lighthouse'."

The old man's expression froze, revealing a look of "rotten wood cannot be carved". He was certain that the mysterious night watchman of "Rosen Night" was Yuki. Even though there were hidden dangers of various kinds, logically speaking, he had to maintain a small amount of trust.

If it were yesterday, he would have safely eliminated the hidden dangers and at least let these two minions leave Yedu, but today is different.

This catastrophe was much stronger than the last one. Nearly a thousand Night's Watchmen were killed in one battle. The First-Class Night's Watchman Galax who went to reinforce was also killed. And the demon in the tide was impossible to deal with. No matter how many went, they died. Even Lord Bulgamo was lost.

In fact, there were only five members left of the seven-member council. Although he was reluctant to admit it, Klein knew that things were out of control.

"The laws of the Inquisition have nothing to do with reason or emotion. The oaths of the Night's Watch have only one core, which is to keep the world running, no matter who we cooperate with or what the cost."

Klein sighed and picked up the top hat on the table. He had to find an opportunity to let the minions fight against the minions, so he had to believe that Finina was a stubborn, intelligent and excellent night watchman.

"By the way, since you like memorizing information so much, go report to the underground when you return. There are mountains of information and historical records there, which will give you plenty to memorize."

Jingle Bell.

The doorbell rang and the Level 1 night watchman left. The maid's face was filled with shame and anger, and her clenched fists were shaking constantly. Her comrades hurried up to comfort her.

But out of sight of others, the maid breathed a sigh of relief.

Hey, I can finally go to the library and hide out.

........

"There's something wrong in that cafe."

Yuki said casually as he walked on the road.

"How could that be? I have used my manas to see the 'future' and I won't encounter any danger." Manas immediately became unhappy. She was not some insignificant person who would randomly peek into the future. The most terrifying scene would be that she would step on dog shit.

"Don't blindly trust what you see in the future. There are too many ways to close the causal relationship. Of course, in this instance, the Night's Watch most likely has no hostility towards us, so you can't see it."

"Then how did you know?" Mana pouted, still unconvinced, "Besides, those people's lights are no different from those of ordinary citizens!"

"Fenina's intelligence said that the Night Watch has a department called the Inquisition, and they can disguise themselves as ordinary people." Yuuki didn't even turn around, but still patiently explained, "Also, the blond waiter was overly graceful and steady when pouring the water. This effect must have been achieved through rigorous training."

"What does this mean? Even if they are good at business, they are still wrong."

"We just drank cheap coffee for two silver coins. We probably can't afford such a waiter. Of course, there's a small chance we've found a treasure or are a relative of the store manager. But we observe things and generally choose the one with the highest probability."

Mana took a deep breath and really didn't know how to answer this suspicious guy. It would be more convincing if you said that she had calluses on her palms!

"Whether there's a problem or not has nothing to do with what we're going to do next. No, I'd rather be targeted by them."

Yuki walked along No. 2 Street and stopped in front of a magnificent building. It was a large villa with gray and white exterior walls. The garden in front of the door occupied thousands of square meters. In the night where every inch of land is valuable, this was simply a luxury to the point of being a crime.

Through the railings outside the wall, the beautiful garden was filled with various supplies. Outside the door, a long line of steam locomotives was parked on the street. Well-dressed servants looked indignant as they were grunting and loading things onto the locomotives.

Each of them went through several years of etiquette lessons, and was forced to do hard labor, but had no way to resist.

Her Highness Christian Furnina insisted on donating the villa's supplies to the refugees, even the bottles of Breton wine in the cellar, saying that alcohol can dispel the cold, but each bottle of wine is enough for those fleeing untouchables to struggle for half their lives.

"You saved a good man." Mana watched quietly and saw the red-haired girl busy in the garden. She was not wearing a night watchman's uniform, but only a white shirt with her sleeves rolled up neatly.

Her dazzling red hair was tied up, and the tent that was supposed to hold the hunting party was moved onto the car, along with various expensive hams. Mana had never eaten this stuff before, and a slice was worth several gold coins.

"She is saving herself, just like right now." Yuki corrected. This Finina was stubborn and naive, and she didn't even think about how more people could be saved by exchanging these hams for grains. Of course, she didn't have the time, so she could only give her all.

This heart is even more precious, but it's a little too stupid.

At this time, Finina noticed the two people standing outside the door. Her expression tensed up for a moment, then she looked around furtively, pretended to be calm, and waved her hand to let the servants go back into the house to rest for a while.

The lively and hilarious performance made Yuki realize immediately why he was being targeted.

"Hello, Mr. Raymond." Finnina walked over with her head held high. They were pen pals, and this was their second meeting. There was obvious nervousness on her face.

"Relax, what night watchman would be nervous when seeing his spies? And don't thank me, I have my own considerations for Rosen's Night."

Yuuki cut her off from all words as soon as he spoke, causing the girl to open and close her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"No need for pleasantries. Have the Night's Watch leaders summoned you?"

"Well, of course you will be summoned by the seven-member review panel when you return to report on your work."

"Did you ask anything?"

"It's mainly about the situation on Rosen Night. I'm asking if I know the mysterious night watchman."

"How did you answer?"

"I said I don't know him." Finina glanced to the side, which was a bad habit.

Okay, you exposed everything.

Yuki found it a little funny, but then he thought that if Finina was a scheming old scoundrel, he probably wouldn't feel at ease either.

He leaned against the door, took the black tea brought by the servant, and said casually: "Didn't the night watchman assign you any tasks and let you do whatever you want?"

"How, how do you know?" The girl's eyes widened. The Rosen branch was gone. As the deputy director and a level 4 night watchman, she should have been assigned to the mobile corps.

As a result, the council didn't make any arrangements, upgraded her authority to level 3, and then asked her to patrol the battlefield. As for why she was patrolling and where she was patrolling, they didn't say anything at all.

Sure enough, the idiot was exposed, but the attitude of the Seven-member Council was somewhat ambiguous.

Yuki knew that this was the highest authority of the Night Watch. If he put himself in their shoes, he would understand what they wanted to do.

By using Finina and the players behind her, and using minions against minions, even if Yuki harbors evil intentions, he still cannot access the core secrets, and the only victim is a level 4 Night Watchman. When the time comes, Finina will be declared a traitor, and there will be no way to pursue responsibility.
