I am a reincarnation player.

All important matters are decided by them. On normal days there would be night watchmen on guard, but today there are only five of them.

The fate of the Night Watch, or the fate of the Dark Continent, will soon be decided, and it is impossible to convince them with empty words.

Over the past thousand years, the Night's Watch has formed too many factions. The so-called Supreme Council members are just representatives of each faction, and their personal likes and dislikes do not play a decisive role. It is the first time that Yuki meets them, so it is even less likely that he will play any emotional card.

He sat on the stairs, coffee in hand. All the words had been decided before he came, and the core was only one thing -

Interests, naked interests.

"Your danger is indeed relatively low. At least you guys are not tainted with too many sins." Klein crossed his arms. This was the premise of the talks. Not to mention Yuuki and Munara, Emiya was also experienced and stopped in time.

Another premise is that this person is very strong, but not too strong. If there is any conspiracy, the Night's Watch can resist it.

"Yes, I didn't intend to make a profit from you from the beginning." Yuki answered bluntly. He found that the Night Watchman knew the players very well and had obviously summed up many rules from his predecessors.

They didn't know about the reincarnation game, but they knew that killing the Night's Watch would bring rewards.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are two ways to end the catastrophe. One is to eliminate the minions of the Night, which means we will lose them all. The other is to fundamentally solve the secret of the Night and kill the King of the Night, which will naturally eliminate the tide."

"You've checked it very clearly. The first one is the simplest and the most difficult method. You want to use the Night Watch as eyes, right?" Ms. Murphy said with sarcasm. Even in this catastrophe, many players have taken this path.

"If that were the case, I wouldn't have come to see you. We could maintain a tacit understanding: you provide the information, and I kill. Isn't that simple?" Yuki shrugged, taking a sip of coffee. "That path won't work because I'm not the strongest pawn. The truly powerful ones hide in the darkness and clean up the mess at the end."

It is true that Yuki is very humble. He is not the strongest player, at least not now.

"Do you want to take the second path?" Robertson adjusted his glasses and finally recovered from his trance-like state. He didn't care about the catastrophe, but only cared about the secrets of the night.

"Yes, that's why I disguised myself as a Night's Watchman to give you some breathing room."

"This is impossible!"

"We have spent thousands of years trying to uncover the secrets of the night, but we haven't touched the core yet."

Several members of parliament shook their heads in unison, their eyes filled with fear or ridicule. Finally, Erickson pressed down with both hands to stop the quarrel.

"Let's hear his reasons. Regarding the secrets of the night, this girl, Fenina, knows nothing."

Yuki's understanding of the Night Watch came from Finina, but the information was limited. Looking at the commander's examining eyes, Yuki was silent for a moment.

"I only have some guesses. For example, you've already delved deeply into the secrets of the night, but for some reason, you haven't been able to get to the core."

No one spoke, which was not difficult to guess.

"Well, or perhaps the core is related to us. You have worked with my kind before, and either they couldn't do it, or they took the opportunity to cause trouble, making you wary and thinking that we can be used as a knife, but we must keep a certain distance from the secrets of the night?"

There was complete silence, and the five council members all looked at Finnina who was standing by the door. The red-haired girl turned pale and quickly shook her head, indicating that she didn't say that.

"Don't make it hard on her. These are just my guesses. To be honest, similar plots are not unfamiliar to us. There are even more outrageous stories." Yuki crossed his legs and said calmly, "So, how correct are my guesses?"

The council members looked at each other and no one spoke. Yuki guessed 70% right. There were relevant records in the most core data room in the basement of the tower.

That was a hundred years ago. The commander at that time ignored the opposition of others, hunted each other with other players, and summoned trustworthy players to cooperate in order to crack the secret of the night.

But they failed. Some players died in the eternal night, while others chose to betray and seize the lighthouse in order to gain an advantage in the fight.

"I want to work with him." Robertson suddenly said, causing dissatisfaction among his colleagues.

"Isn't that lesson enough? Cracking the secret of the night is fake, but seizing the lighthouse is real. He just wants to use the night watchmen to kill each other." Ms. Murphy shouted.

What is a lighthouse? Is it an upgrade to the Night Torch?

Yuki raised his eyebrows and looked at Finina, who immediately lowered her head. She would never tell such a highly confidential matter.

"What's a lighthouse?"

"Stop pretending. You came here to cooperate, isn't it for the 'Lighthouse'?" Murphy said sarcastically, making Yuki frown slightly, and he had no intention of arguing with her.

"Alright, even if I'm pretending, in order to kill all the other players, you should hand over the 'Lighthouse' to me now. It doesn't conflict with those two paths."

Ah this.

The woman opened her mouth, but unexpectedly found some truth in the bandit's logic. She could only say sullenly, "We haven't agreed to cooperate yet."

It's really outrageous that he is still so arrogant at such an old age.

Yuki ignored her and looked directly at Robertson: "Let me explain to this gentleman, whether it's exploring the secrets of the night or killing each other, first of all, you have to be strong enough, and I am stronger than those collaborators in your records."

It was resounding and powerful, and this was his most core asset. It was because of his strength that he was able to turn the tide of the battle in the Southern Plains. It was because of his strength that he dared to come here and sit here drinking coffee.

"Let me be frank. You're worried about a winner-takes-all situation. Because killing the Night's Watch brings benefits, you're worried that I'll have to deal with the minions as well as you."

"Well, so how can you guarantee it?" Eriksson spoke. He listened for a long time and became more and more interested.

"No promises are needed, and I don't have the time to let you slowly understand my character. Oaths are not binding at all, and morality will change with interests."

Yuki stood up with a whoosh and paced in the middle of the hall.

"Interests, only interests are the most solid bond. Without me, you are just supporting roles on this stage. Everything depends on your strength, and your strength is not enough to control the situation. So why should I give you a guarantee?"

"Are you saying that the weak don't deserve guarantees?" Mortensen spoke for the first time, his fists clenched and his eyes extremely dangerous.

"No, to be more precise, the weak cannot supervise the oath. No matter how many oaths I swear here, it will be useless." Yuki looked back and suddenly spoke when the atmosphere became tense:

"But my enemies are of the same kind. In this respect, we share the same interests. I will kill more minions of the night for you and prevent cities from falling into destruction."

"I will avenge you. Except these few people, no one will join the plan. As enemies, death is the best destination." Yuki looked at Ms. Murphy, and then looked at each of them one by one.

"Sir Robertson, I will help you understand the secrets of the Night. Our interests are the same, because the Night also wants to kill me, and in the Night, there are endless rewards."

"Sir Klein, I will not mobilize too many Night's Watch forces and let your men die in vain."

He finally looked at Eriksson and emphasized his tone.

"This war will be a victory led by the Night's Watch. Without the constraints of darkness, the Night's Watch will also be freed from their shackles. At that time, the only extraordinary power in the Night Continent will be in your hands. Only the victors and the extraordinary will be qualified to establish a new order for the continent!"

After he finished speaking, the hall fell into a dead silence. Yuki didn't give any inspiring speech, nor did he appeal to the emotions. Not even a single word touched upon positive energy such as 'justice' and 'peace'.

Based on the information, he simply revealed the benefits to these oath-takers, radicals, conservatives, scholars and ambitious people, and told them that by following him, each of you can benefit from this catastrophe.

Destruction represents rebirth, and catastrophe contains a new order.

"If the Night's Watch wins the war as the protagonist, free from the constraints of the night, they will be the only possessor of extraordinary power on the continent. How much will my power expand? Will I still need to negotiate between various countries to obtain even the slightest supply?"

Eriksson's breathing became heavy. This was his long-cherished wish. What Night Watch Oath, what transnational organization, to put it bluntly, was just a night watch dog.

Over the years, they are only taken seriously when catastrophe strikes. On weekdays, the night watchmen build soul lamps and patrol in the lonely night. No matter how much money they collect, they can only wear black uniforms. No matter how much love they have, they cannot marry and have children. They are obviously extraordinary people, but they do not have any power at all.

Have the princes and nobles, as well as the recently emerged capitalists, ever thought of sharing a little of the profits? No, no, the hustle and bustle of the day has nothing to do with the night watchmen; it belongs to another world.

He wanted to change, but few people inside understood. The Oath Faction even cloaked the identity of the "Night Watch" in a sacred color, and any mercenary ideas would be despised.

As for the outside world, why do you expect others to give up their interests? Any reform will be resisted internally and externally. If it were not for this war, he would not even have much say, let alone dare to take drastic measures. Otherwise, if the Night's Watch is destroyed, how can it survive the next catastrophe?

We have suffered enough in a thousand years. As extraordinary beings, we should be above the world. As guardians, we should be respected and rewarded.

But he maintained his remaining rationality and asked coldly, "You still haven't said how to solve the winner-takes-all problem."

"Simple. Aside from Phonina as my contact, I won't be using any of the Night's Watch, nor will I be infiltrating the inner circle. You hold the power in your own hands. You can place your bets whenever you want."

"Then what do you want?"

"I have intelligence and clues. I will kill those whom the Night's Watch dare not kill, and I will uncover secrets that the Night's Watch cannot touch. The war may fail, but you won't pay any extra price. Is this advantageous enough?"

This condition is too good. The Night Watch can do nothing to preserve their strength. If Yuki wants to win all, they still have the ability to resist. But can they resist?

If they start a war now, can they do it?

"I agree to cooperate." Erickson was the first to raise his hand. He figured it out. Yuki would bear the risk and he would take the benefits. As for the possibility of a winner-takes-all outcome, he didn't even dare to take that risk. What kind of business was that?

"I agree." Mortensen raised his hand second. As long as Yuki killed his minions, he didn't care. Even if he failed in the end, the worst that could happen was that nothing had happened.

"I agree." Robertson also raised his hand. He knew too well how powerful Yongye was. If this person's strength was not just enough, he would not have come.

All colleagues looked over. Murphy and Klein looked at each other and raised their hands, whether they were willing or not.

"agree."

.......

"Mr. Raymond, you have unleashed a beast."

At the bottom of the tower, in the core data room, on the densely packed bookshelves, various confidential materials are piled up like mountains, and there is only one device.

Soul energy crusher, if anyone breaks in by force, all the information here will be destroyed, an annihilation that cannot be repaired even by turning back time.

Yuki was sitting in a recliner, reading a thick book at a glance. Upon hearing this, he gently closed the book and looked at the white-haired heroic spirit.

"Lord Emiya, don't you think the order here is distorted? Transcendents can't enjoy many resources and can only guard the darkness in solitude."

"This is determined by both the oath and the night."

"That's true. I won't discuss who's right or wrong." Yuki took another book and sat up a little straighter. "But wild beasts can't be caged. Sooner or later, they'll break free. The strong and the weak can never change."

The Night's Watch has begun to betray their oath and is frantically amassing wealth everywhere. Some have even become bandits. Sooner or later, conflicts with ordinary people will break out.

Every catastrophe is a purification. True idealists die quickly, and the rest have their own little tricks. When conflicts break out and the Night's Watch splits, when the next catastrophe comes, they may not even be able to play supporting roles.

"If the Night is eliminated, the Night Watch will have no reason to exist. Such a large group of people with extraordinary abilities can't just retire to the countryside. They will fight among themselves to determine the final winner, and that winner will most likely be Eriksson."

"Why?" Manas stretched out his little head.

"Because an oath cannot make people live a life of luxury, an idealist cannot defeat an ambitious person. Besides, without the night, there would be no oath." Yuki said casually, and he even thought about what would happen after the copy was over.

"A new order is bound to emerge, and the process is often accompanied by iron and blood. All I do is to ensure the smooth establishment of order. This is true kindness."

"So you want to help Eriksen completely control the Night's Watch?" Emiya raised his eyebrows.

"We help each other. I help him achieve his ambition, and he helps me clear the dungeon. Whether he can control the situation afterwards has nothing to do with me."

Looking at Yuuki who was at ease, Emiya shut his mouth. He was no longer a messenger of justice, his mind was just full of puzzlement.

Where did Altria find this monster? This is no longer as simple as a player.

Strength is only one of the abilities. The most terrifying thing about this person is that he can grasp the core contradiction, and then Mana keeps calling him "brother, brother", making him feel that he, the captain, is a bit like a clown.

He was supposed to be the leader of Valhalla, but why is this guy giving all the orders?

"Can you really crack the secrets of the night?"

"Not necessarily, but we're trying." Yuki raised the information in his hand, which contained the Night Watch's thousand-year exploration.

Every player wants it, but they can't reach this step. After trying their best, they can only get a few words.

Yuki was different. He spent a week laying the groundwork and then surpassed everyone else in three days.

It turns out that there is eternal night above the sky. It is so vast and boundless that even with a powerful soul lamp, one cannot stay there for long before being swallowed by the endless monsters of the night.

The only entrance is in Night City, or in other words, in the 'Lighthouse'. This trump card held by the night watchman can release a strong light, illuminate the road in the darkness, and lead people into the eternal night.

As for what is inside the eternal night, no one knows, because no one can reach the end. The deeper the tunnel formed by the lighthouse goes, the stronger the erosion of the night will be, and the last distance can only be forced through.

The King of the Night is waiting there. Six level 1 Night Watchmen failed. A hundred years ago, an exploration team composed of more than a dozen player camps also failed. Yuki estimated that only experienced Monster IV players could go deep into it. To really solve it, an epic level must be used.

"Mr. Raymond, I have a question. Why don't any players go to the sky to destroy the King of the Night?" Illya raised her hand. She still remembered hint five.

[Hint 5: The Night King will pay attention to every player, looking for a target to hunt. He will only appear in the night and will only die in the eternal night.]

Above the sky is eternal night, and the King of Night can be killed.

"Because they won't come out easily. The soldiers can grind you down. Why take the risk? Don't you notice that you'll be watched if you drag it out into the night?"

"Are you saying that this is the Night King selecting his targets?"

"That's right. Every time he is dragged into the darkness, he will be watched more closely. When the player's strength is almost revealed, he will jump out. This ability is really useful." Yuki's face was full of envy. He was 100% sure before making a move. He was really a qualified old villain.

Besides, under the sky, the King of the Night is immortal, so it doesn’t matter if he gets fooled occasionally.

"Then why can the lighthouse do that?" Homura Akemi's voice was cold.

"Most likely, the eternal night also has an end, just like an ocean, there is always a seabed. The lighthouse can form a tunnel, allowing people to get as close to the seabed as possible. And the King of the Night should not allow people to touch the seabed."

Yuuki guessed this based on Ryougi Shiki's mission. Since it is a legacy, there will be someone to protect it. Then who in the dungeon is more suitable than the King of the Night? This is also the reason why he is so focused on pushing the dungeon.

That makes sense. Even if we don't explore the eternal night, this lighthouse is of great significance.

Now more information has been revealed. The 'daylight' inside Tide has been reduced to 6 hours, and is heading towards eternal night. When the poison circle covers the entire continent, all players will die in the darkness.

Owning a lighthouse means you are invincible. You don’t even have to take action. Just wait for others to be killed by the darkness.

"It seems that everyone wants this lighthouse. Why don't they unite to deal with the night watchmen?" Mana blinked. This is top secret, but since Fanina knows it, it's not really a secret.

"Because whoever gets it will be the target of public criticism. If I were Eriksson, I would find an opportunity to give the lighthouse to that epic player, then watch the other players fight each other and be done with it."

Hiss, so insidious, luckily this bastard is not a night watchman.

Many people swallowed their saliva. Yuki was similar to Eriksson, but he was definitely ten times more ruthless and meticulous than the latter.

He would really expose the location of the lighthouse, launch an iron-blooded defense, and then let the Night's Watch suffer a narrow defeat. He would then spread the news and cooperate with every player.
