Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

"What!!!???"

Baili Pangpang slammed his hand on the table, nearly overturning his bowl.

"They want us to train the new recruits?"

Beside him, Lin Qiye and the others also put down their bowls and chopsticks in surprise and looked at Lu Yu, who was explaining the situation.

"Yes! Because after the Dao Ancestor returned the three thousand Dao techniques to the Great Xia, more and more people are awakening in the Forbidden Ruins. Everyone tacitly accepts this unspeakable fact."

Lu Yu sighed. She had been extremely busy these past few days dealing with those foreigners, and now that she had finally managed to rest, she learned that she still had to train new recruits.

"And this year's new recruits are five times more numerous than our class!"

Cao Yuan raised his hand: "So the instructors are planning to send us over to establish their authority again, just like the Masked Squad did last time?"

Lu Yu shook her head: "No! It's about us training new recruits! We're the instructors~~~"

[Nightfall] The team members: "..."

Isn't this considered exploitation?

They've only been on vacation for less than a week!

"Now that things have come to this, let's think about our next task!"

Lu Yu plopped down next to Jia Lan, stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth, and started swinging her legs.

Baili Pangpang suddenly chuckled mischievously, "Yeah, yeah... I just remembered how exciting it was when the [Masked] team made their appearance last time. Our [Nightfall] team can't be too bad, can we!"

"Captain! Captain! Quickly think of a way for our team to make an entrance!"

"Yeah, yeah~~ Captain~~~"

Lu Yu and Baili Pangpang each grabbed one of Lin Qiye's sleeves and shook them incessantly.

Lin Qiye, swaying back and forth in his seat: "..."

How old are you two?!

Why are we arguing about this?

but……

The boy's eyes flashed, revealing a deeper meaning.

"...It's not impossible..."

After all, this can be seen as their heartfelt expression of love for the new recruits!

………………

Shangjing City, recruit training camp.

"Have you heard? Our instructor this time is someone special!"

"Instructor? Isn't that Chief Instructor Yuan? Or are there others?"

Two boys came out of the dormitory, dressed in training uniforms, and walked together towards the playground.

This afternoon is their assembly time, and also the time to meet their new instructors.

"Please, there are nearly a thousand of us! How can one instructor possibly lead them all!"

"But I don't know who our instructor is either..."

"Tch... I thought you had inside information..."

"...Let's not talk about that. Why did you join the Night's Watch?"

"Me? Well... of course I did it for..."

A young girl was walking behind the two of them. Hearing their conversation, she suddenly seemed a little dazed.

Why did she join the Night's Watch?

It seems like I'm back to that night again, with mountains collapsing, the earth splitting, and the rain pouring down...

It was those soldiers in military uniforms who rushed into the mountains one by one and brought back their loved ones...

She would never forget the white-haired girl, her face pale yet radiant with iridescent light, who brought the dead back to this chilly world.

She was a child who survived because of the Night's Watch.

So, she wants to become that kind of person too...

………………

Soon it was time for Yuan Gang to give his instructions. Above the clouds in the sky, an airplane had been hovering, ready to be deployed at any moment.

"Captain, judging by the time, we should be there soon, right?"

An Qingyu, wearing a red cloak unique to their team, glanced at Lin Qiye, who had been sitting quietly there.

Baili Pangpang nodded: "...He was probably just scolding those new recruits...as idiots, rookies, or something like that, right?"

"Where's Little Deer? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

Jiang Er glanced around, but still couldn't see the girl who could teleport over at any moment.

Lin Qiye's lips twitched. The thought of that guy coming to explain some of his upcoming plans in the middle of the night made his veins bulge.

"She'll be here in a bit, we can go off the field first..."

Lin Qiye paused, then couldn't help but sigh, his conscience still sharpening as he wanted to give his teammates a heads-up.

"...Ahem...When she comes out, just don't overreact..."

And please, don't let it slip...

The others were somewhat confused: "??"

An Qingyu laughed instead: "Is she trying to cause trouble again?"

This just won't stop...

Lin Qiye rubbed his forehead. After hearing Yuan Gang calmly call out "Nightfall" on the other end of the walkie-talkie, he took a deep breath and stood up.

"Nightfall, teammates!"

The boys on the plane all stood up. Behind them was the open cabin door. The wind blew up, creating a lot of waves and causing their red cloaks to flutter.

"Enter!"

"Yes!"

The boys stepped out of the plane, walking on the clouds—

………………

When the new recruits, still on the ground, heard Yuan Gang mention "Nightfall," they finally realized who their instructor was.

"Nightfall? It's that Fifth Special Squad!!!"

"Definitely! That's the special team that recently received the 'Starry Sea' medal three times!!!"

"And if I remember correctly, there are three former first-place winners from previous training camps among them!!!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I remember that too. It seems the one closest to us among those three was named... Jiang Er!"

"...Special team...If I remember correctly, there's also Lu Yu from the External Affairs Department!"

"Lu Yu!? She's in there too!! Is she that amazing!?"

"If the special squad were our instructors... I'm afraid my dream wouldn't have come true!"

"What are you thinking! Have you forgotten our mission? We're here to take off their masks!"

Just as these new recruits were getting restless and discussing amongst themselves, the sky suddenly darkened.

"it's dark?"

Some people looked up, wanting to see what was going on, but they couldn't find anything.

Then, without giving the new recruits even a moment to react, a red sun suddenly rose from the dark sky—

The next moment, a huge creature flew out from under the red sun. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a giant red dragon.

On the dragon's body, several figures stood backlit at the forefront, with cloaks fluttering in the wind behind them.

The leader had a Sun Wukong mask covering his face, and the others also had masks covering their faces.

Before the recruits could even see clearly, in the next instant, they leaped off the red dragon—

Immediately afterwards, the man wearing the Great Sage mask lowered his hands to his sides and threw out two knives, heading straight for Yuan Gang in the center.

It wasn't until the knife pierced through Yuan Gang's body and the instructor who had been reprimanding them just moments before collapsed to the ground that these young men who had recently joined the Night Watch reacted:

"Instructor!"

The new recruits were utterly shocked.

how so!!??

Aren't the Night Watch squad members?

How could someone suddenly commit murder?!

Are they planning a rebellion?!
