I am a reincarnation player.

Anyway, if I draw a cultist, unless the game explicitly stipulates that I must protect the church, I will definitely use the power of other players to destroy it. If I want to pursue high returns, the ultimate goal is to replace the saint. How can this be done?

Based on what the clown did, Yuki inferred that there shouldn't be this hint, after all, the clown treated the residents as human potted plants.

"Let's talk about the copy."

Yuki turned his attention away from the players and through the girl's description, he basically understood the process of the gathering.

It takes a total of one hour, the first twenty minutes of which is a sermon, reciting scriptures that are difficult to understand, and then the saint will take away those who want to be baptized and return to the church to arrange it.

The others continued to stay in the square and dispersed on their own after forty minutes. Within this hour, no matter what happened in the town, they would not be affected.

"I finally know what hint 2 means." Yuki sighed.

[Hint 2: The town usually holds a rally in the square at 12 noon every day. At this time, God's gaze will become focused and last for one hour.]

"God is paying attention to the baptism in the church, and the rest of the town will become insignificant." Yue Gong also got the answer, and the three main clues were all revealed.

"Well, at that time the players will be able to move freely, and it will also be the best opportunity to deal with the believers."

Residents of the small town are also divided into several types. When night falls, true believers will patrol the streets, while ordinary people will stay at home and live a normal life.

Yuki had a headache. The church was not stupid. How could they let him wantonly kill all the patrols without killing the fanatics? Not to mention whether they could complete the mission -

"Without weakening the evil god, it's hard to defeat a purple-robed priest. How can I fight against the entire church?"

This is a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. It reminds Yuuki of a joke:

Go and destroy the church.

How can I destroy a powerful church without killing its fanatics?

Then go kill the fanatics!

The church is so powerful, how can I kill the fanatics?

Yuki scratched his face, and the girl looked at him with some gloating. This man also knows how to have a headache. Anyway, I am an 'undercover', and the destruction of the church is none of my business.

"Don't gloat over your misfortune. Don't forget that Pan Zi and the others are still here. They will definitely use the church to deal with us." Yuki saw through her thoughts at a glance and shrugged: "At worst, I can hide in the garbage mountain."

"Are you admitting that you're gloating?"

"Like I said, I didn't."

Yuki was too lazy to argue with her and said slowly, "The game ends in fifty hours, which happens to be three hours after the end of the third gathering. Do you think the reincarnation game is so full that it makes us stay for three more hours?"

With just one sentence, Yuki made the girl's breathing quicken. It was obvious that the third gathering would be the killer move. At that time, changes would definitely occur and the copy would show its true fangs.

Da da da.

Before she could think about it carefully, footsteps were heard and the old woman walked up the stairs.

Yuki and Yueyu ignored her and just pretended to be deaf and blind. As a result, the footsteps got closer and closer and stopped at the door of the room.

The room suddenly became quiet, a kind of eerie silence. Yuki listened to the unknown scripture the old woman was reciting, and suddenly heard her say:

"Strangers, go to the square at 12 noon tomorrow to attend the rally and listen to God's voice."

After saying that, she slowly turned around and went downstairs again.

Yuki and Yueyu looked at each other, both a little confused. Isn't this just a message? Whose message is it? Could it be that the gods have noticed it?

It felt like ants were crawling on my body. I looked around suspiciously, as if someone was staring at me.

"It seems that we don't need to wait until the third gathering. The change has already happened." Yuki reacted quickly and resisted the urge to open the Devil's Eye. "I told you before that the dungeon will not let you get away with it easily. In addition to the players, there is also the church."

"Well, what if I don't go?"

"How should I know? You will most likely become a heretic and be hunted down by the entire Yaduo Town. If you can survive the last two hours, you can give it a try." Yuki continued to spread his hands.

If I were that powerful, would I have to scratch my head with you?

The girl gritted her teeth lightly, but had no intention of fighting back. She even felt strange as to why she was not afraid of this man recently.

"No, I have to hide. Going undercover at the villains' gathering is like courting death."

Before she could try, the door downstairs was opened, and Rick walked in dejectedly.

"Why are you back?"

Rick was hiding in the garbage mountain and communicating with them using a walkie-talkie. There was only one day left anyway, so he could endure it without food or water.

Seeing the girl stand up in surprise, the young man showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "I have been found, and they notified me to attend the rally at noon tomorrow."

The townspeople found him!

This can be said to have blocked the last glimmer of hope. You know, Rick was hiding in the garbage mountain and even the dogs couldn't find him, so how could he be dug out?

Yuki was also very surprised, but he had used the devil's eye to observe the garbage mountain and found that there was indeed the breath of the evil god there. Only the cemetery remained clean.

"One good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Yuki suddenly interrupted, and then asked himself:

"The good news is that our identities have not been discovered by the church, otherwise he would not be able to come back. Because of the rules, the copy characters cannot use the elimination method to kill all the players."

"And the bad news is, there is nowhere for us to hide in this small town."

He had no intention of scaring them, and what he said left the two of them in silence, while Yuki lowered his head and gently rubbed his chin.

This is actively tightening the noose. Since they can directly command the residents of the town, they can use their subjective will to influence the development of the copy.

The town usually holds a rally in the square at 12 noon every day?

So, what about abnormal situations?

Chapter 21 Someone is more anxious

The residents of Yaduo Town have built-in tracking capabilities, which is actually a form of protection. At least in the public eye, hostile players cannot take action.

But the church, which had always had little presence, began to take action, forming an impenetrable network that put all players under surveillance.

As night gradually fell and the lights came on, the happy family began to have dinner together again. Yuki looked at the man and woman in the house coldly, without any desire to go downstairs.

"Tomorrow at 12 noon, please go to the square to listen to God's voice."

He has heard this sentence no less than twenty times today, and there is no way to ignore it. You can choose not to listen, but you will bear the consequences at your own risk.

"Relax, prove that the hostile players cannot influence the will of the church, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here peacefully. If they really have a way, they wouldn't keep the information in their hands and not use it."

Yuki always manages to find good news in dire situations, easing the tense atmosphere a little.

That's right, if the enemy players can solve the problem just by informing, there is no need for them to show up at all. They can kill several people with just their mouths, and there is no need to divide the game into four identities.

"Is it because of your identity?" Rick asked, looking very bad mentally.

He had been betrayed, and even though Pinto had paid the price with blood, the feeling of loss was engraved in his mind like a chisel.

"This is only one aspect. I guess 'believers' should be able to get close to the church, but they cannot be fully trusted."

Yuki rubbed his chin. He had verified this with the townspeople since the beginning of the game. The "believers" would definitely have an advantage, but they could not break the rules.

In a sense, this town of Yaduo is full of believers. Only fanatics can truly become minions and possess extraordinary powers. I can't help but think of the old man's words:

[Going to church and being baptized is the first step. As for the second step, once you are sure to give your body and soul to God, the saint will tell you.]

"It was a baptism. Yue Gong witnessed it with his own eyes. There were so many people in the square, but only a few of them were baptized. A special ceremony was held for this." Yuki took a deep breath. This was crucial information, and his thoughts became clear at once.

Why does the "Judge"'s hint mention fanatics? In fact, identification is the key compared to killing. Otherwise, Yuki would have set fire to the town and killed everyone.

"From the player's perspective, baptism is a very dangerous act, which is equivalent to handing your life over to the dungeon."

"Well, any player with a normal brain would not accept baptism. This path is too easy and actually the most dangerous." Yue Gong nodded slightly. Other players must know what she could find out.

Otherwise, if someone joins the church and clings to its power from the beginning, how can other players play?

"So asking the players to gather at the square at noon tomorrow is a forced baptism? No one can escape it no matter who they are?" Rick also came to his senses. Isn't this just being a rogue?

"It's very likely. Now you know why the mission requires 50 hours." Yuki spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "If you go, you will have to take a huge risk. If you don't go, after the baptism is completed, you will face the pursuit of the entire town."

How can an undercover agent hide his identity when participating in a baptism?

Yue Gong and Rick were a little confused. Others might have a way. For example, Li Dan could choose the second path and rely on his own strength to hold on for two hours.

But what can they do? They can’t hide or escape, so how can they survive?

The two of them looked at Yuki at the same time. This man was not kind, but he could provide the most scarce sense of security.

Now the puzzle has been mostly solved, and the decisive battle will be tomorrow at noon, when the "undercover" identity can no longer be hidden.

"Then what should we do?" Yue Gong gently gripped the armrest and held his breath.

"Wait."

"Wait?" The girl blinked, not quite understanding.

"Yes, the information I need most now is the content of the baptism, how focused the evil god will be, and whether he really knows nothing about the outside world." Yuki already had a rough plan in his mind, and paused for a moment, "Of course, I am very grateful that you two are willing to take action to find out."

Without any hesitation, Yuegong and Rick shook their heads like rattles. If they wanted to find out this information, they would have to go deep into the church. Wouldn't that be courting death?

Tsk, he is indeed not as useful as Hayasaka and senior. Even though he knows his future is bleak, he is still afraid of death.

Yuki curled his lips and suddenly missed the two of them. He had plenty of freedom in this copy, but without help, many plans could not be implemented.

If my senior was here, I could have enabled the feature and followed in quietly at noon today. I can only say there are gains and losses.

'I don't know how they are doing now. Even if Hiyori is with them, I still feel uneasy.'

Yuki glanced at the ceiling, sighed softly, and quickly turned his attention back to the present.

"Looking at the bright side, I have nothing to worry about now. Plus, my strength has changed dramatically, so the danger is much smaller."

Without worries, there is no pressure. He patted her face gently and was about to say a few words of comfort, but his open mouth froze.

Dangdang——

The church bell rang suddenly, and the three players became visibly nervous. They looked around in confusion.

Why is the bell ringing so late at night?

The church bells rang only during the noon gathering, and they soon discovered that something was wrong.

"Hey, this family is out."

Yuki turned his head and looked downstairs. The townspeople who had just finished their dinner stood up. They did not clean the table, but did the following actions as if by reflex:

Put on your coat, open the door, light the torch, and walk out.

Yuki instantly went to the window, looked out, and his pupils contracted.

One by one, lit torches came out of different small houses and gathered in the alleys like burning streams, and the 'streams' gathered together again, like a river of fire, flowing towards the square.

This was a silent river of fire, but the footsteps of thousands of people coming together made it seem quite imposing, reminding Yuki of a famous scene from a certain empire.

"Isn't the meeting at noon? It's seven o'clock in the evening now. What kind of meeting is this?" Rick also came to the window, unable to understand the scene in front of him.

Yuki didn't say anything. He had just been worried about something during the day, and now it had become a reality.

"Try reading Hint 2 a few more times." Yuki said without even turning his head.

"The town usually holds a gathering in the square at 12 noon every day, when God's gaze will become focused." Rick read it several times and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Usually! That is to say..."

"That is to say, there are still abnormal situations, such as an all-out war between players, in which some of them will borrow the power of the copy." Yuki gave the answer for him, turned his head and looked directly at the two of them.

Yue Gong held his breath, unable to utter a word. He only saw the young man with a firm gaze against the flickering firelight, without any sign of panic.

Regardless of whether this is fake or not, at this moment, it is enough to reassure people.

In an inexplicable panic, Yuki still had the energy to ask: "Guess, why are you gathering in the middle of the night?"

this......

No one knew what the church was doing, and Yue Gong, who had participated in the entire rally, suddenly looked up and asked, "Is it a baptism? Because baptism requires the residents to be gathered together?"

Good, quick response.

Jie Cheng cast an admiring look. This involves the essence of baptism. Why do so many people need to gather together and sit outside during the baptism ceremony?

Gaze, assembly, baptism, church.

Key words flashed through Yuki's mind, and based on what he saw and heard in the Demon Hospital, he seemed to have grasped the pattern.

In the hospital, the demons were summoned. Dean Tomikawa, the big boss behind the scenes, was simply a puppet who just combined most of the demon's power.

Could it be that there are no gods in this town at all, at least not in the same space?

Yuki proposed a hypothesis, but the problem was that there was no way to verify it. Acting based on the hypothesis would be like gambling with one's life, so it would be better to wait until tomorrow noon.

"It must be a baptism. The key is who wants to be baptized. Those two people can't want to die with me. It's not possible." Yuki murmured to himself. As the crowd went away, time was becoming more and more urgent.
