You tell me, this is called daily youth?

The Brotherhood was notorious, if not unknown, and yet no one applauded it.

"All of them were killed with one strike. Judging from the traces, it can be confirmed that it was done by one person. His viciousness was enough to be at least Extraordinary IV. The player who could kill him must be at least Monster II or above." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka personally took action. Many players are masters of traceology and can even recreate the battle scene.

"Monster II, there's none in the entire Bramble Rose, right?" Sakayanagi Arisu licked his lips and lowered his voice: "Is he a hidden master? Jumping out as a messenger of justice?"

"Who knows? But considering the clues we've just received, a sly old shrew like Evil wouldn't let anyone dangerous into the room. I heard he's long since stopped doing dangerous things like honey traps."

Tip: Invasion from the outside.

The girl's breath hitched, and she looked around in panic: "There are other players in this outpost. Are they monitoring everything?"

She should be panicking, as this shows that the outpost is not safe at all. Someone is stronger and has higher authority than them, and they can tame the players like pigs and dogs.

"How about... let's go hide at the border."

"With so many of us, we need several reinforcement points a day. How can we have the capital after just ascending for more than 20 days?" The young man smiled bitterly. Who knew that the new stage would be like this? Each player did not bring many chaos props.

"Don't panic. We are law-abiding people. The murderer was clearly targeting us. See how panicked those 'mafia' guys are?"

Several players wearing round hats and black suits were evacuating in a hurry. No one was a fool. What Ayanokouji Kiyotaka could guess, others could guess as well.

[In the outpost, please abide by the laws of reality, otherwise you will be punished]

This tip was obviously a spur-of-the-moment one. When players heard it, they felt like they were being watched, waiting for some fool to break the law and then, wait and see, the punishment would come.

Without law enforcers, the so-called law is just a piece of paper. The annihilation of a team of upper-middle-class players tells the remaining players that there is order here, and they must live by the rules, and—

The law enforcers are fierce.

Could it be him? Even if he has made progress compared to us, is the gap in strength so huge?

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was lost in thought when suddenly someone tapped his shoulder and he almost jumped up on the spot.

It actually hid from my perception?

He turned around suddenly and saw a familiar face that he had been thinking about day and night.

Sky Island Yuu Castle!

Chapter 4 Welcome to the Promised Land! (K)

Central Park, where flowers never fade and the air is filled with charming fragrance.

There was no sun in the sky, and the purple vortex was slowly turning, flashing with light from time to time, indicating that another group of players had arrived at the outpost.

It should have been a pleasant and relaxing scene, but Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had a blank expression on his face, and his fingers hidden behind his back were trembling slightly.

It's him.

This man has always been very mysterious. After the young man ascended to heaven, he made a special trip to inquire about his whereabouts. According to Zhang Jin, he died in a copy called "Bloody Disaster".

"You are indeed not dead."

"When friends meet, can't you say something more auspicious?" Yuki snorted, looked at Sakayanagi Arisu who was hesitant to speak, and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Auspicious words? Do you know how many unsolved mysteries it brings to me?

A thousand horses were galloping through the boy's heart. There were many things he wanted to know, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them all back.

This should not be asked, cannot be asked, and I dare not ask.

"You came all the way to see me, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Yuuki smiled with satisfaction.

Why did he look for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka? The reason was simple. In addition to the fact that the two sides had worked together before and knew each other very well, there was also Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's organizational strength and his huge alliance with Mr. Ye, Zhang Jin and others.

More importantly, he is very smart and knows what to ask and what not to ask.

"Can't I catch up with you?"

"No, I'm afraid of touching upon secrets that I shouldn't know and bringing about my own death." Ayanokouji couldn't laugh at all. He was almost certain that the demise of the 'Brotherhood' was related to this man.

He's a cautious guy, and it's really troublesome to go around in circles with him.

"Well, I'm looking for you for something good, such as..."

"Wait a minute, why should I be the one getting good things?"

"Because you're my friend, I'll keep it within my grasp." Yuuki shrugged, then nodded at the corpses. "Besides, you're very good at maintaining order and suppressing the players' inflated desires. Each faction has its own unique characteristics, like the cannibalism of the 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade' and the stalking of the 'Hunters.' Some hope that the 'Rose of Thorns' will preserve order on Earth."

"Killing, destruction, and wanton destruction are inevitable, but they can't become mainstream and turn this outpost into a place of crime. That would be very unaccustomed to most players who come from ordinary backgrounds."

It really has something to do with him!

The corners of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's eyes twitched, and Sakayanagi Arisu even opened his mouth, and then his mood became extremely complicated.

In the cooperation on Earth, the status of both parties is not actually equal, but at the outpost, this is more like an order than a request for cooperation, and the identities are completely reversed.

Was it his intention, or the intention of the person behind him? Well, the latter is more likely. This outpost has obviously existed for a long time and is connected to the border area through the faction assessment. He arrived at most ten days earlier than me, so it's impossible for him to have accomplished these things.

Could it be that a previous player was stuck for some reason and needed someone to act as a matchmaker? And he was chosen?

Ayanokouji realized that he could access deeper secrets, and his breathing became heavy: "Can I refuse?"

"No, this is a piece of cake for you. Why would you refuse such a good thing?" Yuki said slowly, with a look of no room for negotiation. "Besides, maintaining order on Earth and allowing players to be ordinary people first, isn't that also your wish?"

Yes, this is exactly what I want.

Ayanokouji's expression changed slightly. Why did he go to such great lengths to maintain his team and retain his identity as a 'student'?

Idealistically, he hoped to return to his previous life. After all, the players of 'Thorny Rose' were different from those of other factions. Most of them were ordinary people living in a normal world.

They were not locked up like livestock, nor did they experience blood and gore. There were no demons or gods in reality. The reincarnation game was more like a nightmare. It felt exciting at first, but then it was endless pain.

In reality, supernatural powers can easily turn people into beasts. They will steal what they want and rape the women they like. People will not feel safe living among beasts.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he spoke with difficulty: "What should I do?"

"Contact your friends and bring the majority of players into order." Yuki had long expected that birds of a feather flock together, and people who were obsessed with the reincarnation game would not be able to become friends with him.

"What if someone causes trouble? Not everyone likes order."

"Give me the list and someone will carry out the punishment."

Hiss, how strong is the power behind this guy? Could there be an epic player?

Having worked with Yuki many times, he knew that he never boasted, but it was still a little hard to understand.

"Why don't you do it yourself?"

"Dealing with people is too troublesome. I don't have the energy to engage in intrigues with strangers. It would take too much time to build up power from scratch."

Well, this almost has 'I want to lie down' written on my face.

Ayanokouji accepted this reason. He knew that Yuuki was not good at dealing with people. To build a large organization, strength was only the foundation. The key was human relations and social skills. He couldn't help feeling depressed.

"I'll discuss this with Mr. Ye and Mr. Zhang later, but I still have to ask, I've been doing all the hard work, so what are you doing?"

Everything should be fair. Yuki thought for a while and looked up at the huge purple vortex.

The light flickered, and from time to time players would ascend here, and then all traces of their existence would be wiped out on Earth, separating them forever, and then they would grow or die in endless copies.

The border areas have been connected. Even from the perspective of the faction, I don’t know what the point of doing the dungeon is. There is a question that confuses all players who like to think.

After the extraordinary comes the monster, after the monster comes the epic. When will the growth of power end? It is just a tool for struggling to survive.

"Even cattle and horses can regain their freedom one day if the reincarnation game does not provide a way out." Yuki muttered to himself while looking at the vortex. He did not answer the boy, but rather spoke to himself.

"Then I'll go find it myself."

......

Once the cooperation is reached, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka will go to see Mr. Ye soon. Maybe the details will be different, but the general direction is the same for this type of people.

Smart people always like to think about "meaning". Strength is just a tool for survival. As they become stronger, they will think about the meaning of strength and the meaning of life.

In order to survive, every player has paid almost everything, but the prison called the game is endless, and smart people will always find a way out.

Aside from a few twisted individuals, the entire reincarnation game is roughly divided into two categories of players: one is obsessed with power, unwilling to be ordinary, wantonly controlling the life and death of others, or composing heroic epics. The other is driven by survival, and the only thing that can guarantee survival is, of course, escaping the reincarnation game.

Yuki will not comment on which one is better, but in "The Thorns and Roses", the latter type of players is the majority. They are the kind who get excited when reading online novels, but regret it when they really travel through time.

This is even more obvious in the reincarnation game. Yuki is fighting hard in every copy. So what if he can punch a hole in a mountain with one punch? There are always stronger monsters and more terrifying enemies. If you make a slight miscalculation, you will die without a burial place.

It's too tiring. Compared to those zombies, evil gods, and insect swarms, homework is simply a reward.

"Leave the order to them to maintain, so I can focus on upgrading, and then use my power to suppress everything, and in doing so, create a supervisory organization."

The logic formed a closed loop. Seeing that there were fewer people speeding on the road, I couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Strength is the basis for maintaining order. Authority will be further enhanced. Maybe in the future he can develop a few administrators and then he will be able to completely ignore it.

Then the illusion of a supervisory organization must be created. On the one hand, his experience is too inexperienced, so he has to create some "seniors" to scare people; on the other hand, the groundwork has been laid before, so it doesn't seem abrupt at all.

That idiot Sigong Huangguang must have gone to the border area to investigate and found out that he was deceived. If he knew what was happening in the outpost, he would probably be confused again.

Yuki felt vaguely uneasy. The yellow light of Shinomiya was a loophole, but at best it was just his own boasting. No player would really believe the nonsense of the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" and the "Quantum Sea". The only thing that was a bit troublesome was the anomalies of the outpost and the "Extraordinary Level".

"There are countless factions in the game, so I'm definitely not the only one with problems. Besides, even if some players are curious, what can they do? No one can come in without my invitation."

Yuki comforted himself and secretly decided to kill Shinomiya Huangguang and others as soon as possible to completely fill the loophole.

I was walking home and just as I reached the intersection, my eyes suddenly lit up.

Phillen and Hayasaka Ai were standing across the street. Puff Mushroom also adapted to the local customs and changed into a white dress, leaving an impression on Yuuki:

Big, too big.

Compared to Philen, even the maid who filled out a lot still pales in comparison, making people instantly understand the correct usage of the word "slightly plump".

But in the blink of an eye, the maid was blocking the way and came in front of him in a stride.

"Are you done talking?"

He had a pleasant expression, but the only thing he looked at was the stink bug's look that Yuuki didn't want to look away from.

"Well, I don't need to worry about what happens next. As long as your strength improves and someone exposes you, that's fine."

Yuki is most afraid that Ayanokouji will send a punishment list, and if he can't beat them, then he's doomed.

"At worst, we can go out together. There shouldn't be any enemies in this outpost." Hayasaka emphasized. She hated it most when Yuki did everything by himself.

That's true. Except for a few head members, no one could walk out of the room alive.

Yuki turned his head and looked at Philen who bowed to him politely. He felt really uncomfortable for a moment. Hiyori used to be so polite, but now he has been led astray and just acts as a spectator all day long.

"Are you still used to it, Miss Phelan?"

"Well, there is a different kind of relaxation, as if I have returned to a long time ago." The girl smiled faintly unintentionally. It had indeed been a long time since she had sat down to eat with others and chatted about topics that had nothing to do with survival.

"This place is strange and unfamiliar, but Miss Mai and the others are all good people. Sorry, I haven't used the word 'good people' for a long time. How should I put it? Thank you for giving me a place to stay, Mr. Yuki."

She bowed again and felt like she was dreaming as she said thank you.

This was real. She was not worthy of a group of players acting with her, so it was like a dream. She originally thought that if she accepted the asylum, she would be treated like a beast of burden, and if she exposed her secrets, she would be killed on the spot.

As a result, no one treated her like a beast of burden. They ate at the same table, and Miss Kaguya even opened her wardrobe to let her choose some weird clothes. When she found that none of the clothes fit her size, the deathly pale look on her face was definitely not fake.

Everyone is so nice, so nice that they don't seem like players.

Philen glanced at Yuuki secretly, and he really couldn't understand what this man was thinking. It was as if he didn't take the authority of the pioneers seriously.

"Hey, we're all family, just be casual. You're making me nervous." Yuuki didn't care at all and turned to look at Hayasaka Ai, "Is this considered a walk after dinner?"

"Well, I took Phelan around the outpost. She said it's completely different from the 'Aether Particles' here."

Apart from these towering buildings, the biggest difference is the vortex in the sky. According to Philen, this is the channel connecting the world. There are dozens of ether particles, and he has never heard of any camp having only one channel.

Yuki had already noticed the problem, but he had no idea what the reason was. So he simply walked with the two beautiful girls in the outpost and listened to Fei Lun's stories.

There are no densely packed buildings in the Ether Particles, only castles or dungeons. Each team occupies an area, and there is no security in the outposts.

Striving to survive in the dungeon, and having to fight to the death when returning, it is not affordable for ordinary players to live in the border area for a long time.

Yuki sounds like a headache, humans, demons, and monsters are fighting each other physically, there are several magician associations alone, each recruiting fellow villagers to occupy one side.

They are fighting for the fragments of the 'Throne of God', turning the outpost into a never-ending dungeon.

This group of people are really lucky that they don't have to go to the dark forest to raise Gu.

Yuki looked at the players passing by. The place was so empty that it made people feel lonely. It was much more harmonious than those powerful camps.

"I hope they can go out more often and protect their homeland one day."

Yuki suddenly felt a desire to protect him. Anyway, if he was thrown into the ether particles, he would probably turn evil soon.
