He didn't feel it before, but when the dangerous moment came and he couldn't control it, he missed his senior and Hayasaka Ai so much.

What does the judgment of fate matter? The senior sister's long legs in black stockings can immediately relieve the tension. If that doesn't work, then add Hayasaka's white stockings.

"You have a lover?" Yue Gong's tone was a little confused, and his cleverness was gone in an instant.

"Is it not possible? Players are also human beings. Do you think I am a madman who pursues power by any means necessary?"

Of course not. That kind of person wouldn’t show that expression just now.

The girl already had the answer in her heart, but she was suppressed all the way. Her pride made her turn her head slightly and whispered:

"But you are very insidious. I can't imagine any girl would like an insidious person."

This was the most profound impression Yuki left on her. He was always calculating with an expressionless face, which made her nervous all the way.

"You could speak a little more quietly when you say bad things about me." Yuki rolled his eyes and didn't explain much.

He did calculate all the players once, but he was not here to make friends, and he did not expect every player he had worked with to be convinced of him.

At the very least, these two people were convinced in their hearts. No matter how scared they were at the moment, they did not act on their own.

Fifty-two minutes.

Yuki glanced at his watch and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. After all, he couldn't completely control the enemy, and he didn't know much about the Black Sword, so he didn't know this man's background.

Yue Gong noticed this strangeness, his lips moved, and he said coldly: "In fact, I have always believed that you can lead us out of the dungeon."

Oh, it's rare for you to be so straightforward. It seems you don't know how to comfort people normally.

Yuki looked at the always cold girl and shook his finger: "It's not about leading, it's about us working together. You also provided valuable information."

"Yes, let's struggle together to survive." The girl nodded heavily, looking very unwilling to be a burden. "The dungeon has reached its last day, and I will show my value."

"Are you finally willing to fight to the death?"

"Haven't you been fighting hard since you were dragged into the reincarnation game? The only difference is who you're fighting for, and whether you'll become a stepping stone for others."

Her words were quite philosophical. As a bystander, she was not only observing the copy, but also observing Yuki.

This man is insidious but not evil. He emphasizes equality in giving and taking, which is actually fair.

For example, more than an hour ago, he took the initiative to ask himself and Rick if they could sneak into the church. After being rejected, he did not force them, but instead designed an escape plan for them.

"I like this attitude. Each copy of the reincarnation game is very short, and there is really no way to communicate with each other. It all depends on whether the players are rational." Yuki stretched out his hand. This was also within his calculation. He wanted to use the situation to force these two people to figure it out themselves.

For the next plan, both of them must fight hard.

The girl glanced at the raised hand and said calmly, "By the way, if I draw 'Cultist', what will you do?"

"I will kill you without hesitation." Yuki said concisely.

Sure enough, he can be trusted, but his mouth is so annoying.

The girl pursed her lips, reluctantly raised her hand to shake hands with Yuki, then immediately let go.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but fortunately at this time the sound of "ding ding ding" bells was heard, and the three of them, including Rick who was awakened, looked towards the church at the same time.

The rally had only started for ten minutes, why was the bell rung?

Judging from the intelligence obtained from the previous two investigations, the bell would only be rung at the end of the rally, which was obviously a bit abnormal. Could it be that the church got the intelligence and immediately sent troops to kill us?

The cemetery was deathly silent, and Yuki felt a little uneasy, but the fire in the distance was still there, with no sign of dispersing.

"It looks like something went wrong. Could it be that Black Sword and the others changed their minds at the last minute?"

"Impossible. If it really comes to that, there will be no chance to regret. And judging from the firelight, the crowd has not dispersed."

"Then why are they ringing the bell? Why don't I go out and take a look?"

"You are not afraid of death?"

"It has come to this point. What difference does it make if I die early or late?"

Rick and Yuegong continued to communicate, but Yuki remained silent. Gradually, he narrowed his eyes and thought of a problem that he had overlooked.

Why can't the baptism ceremony be held for other players? And this player doesn't want to be baptized, or wants to postpone it until tomorrow noon, and then -

pat.

The sound of branches being stepped on and broken was heard, causing a violent reaction.

"who!?"

The girl drew her bow and arrow, aiming in the direction where the sound came from. Rick also held the gun with both hands, like a frightened bird.

But soon, they found that Yuki took a few steps forward and blocked the aiming path. When they were wondering, they saw the man raised his hand.

"Don't panic, this person finally showed up."

"who?"

Yuki said nothing and looked forward, only to see a figure walking out of the misty fog. He was wearing the grey robe of a church priest, but when he raised his head, he revealed a smiling mask under the hood.

"A man who was shot even while lying down."

He replied.

Chapter 23: Cooperation between Cultists and Inquisitors (4K)

The cemetery was foggy and visibility was very low, and the messy tombstones were vaguely divided into two groups.

On one side are Yuuki and his three companions, and on the other side is someone who looks very much like a gray-robed priest.

The person lying down and being shot?

If Yuki hadn't blocked it, the moon bow would have already shot an arrow up. She repeated the mantra silently a few times, and when she saw the smiling mask under the hood, she immediately came to her senses.

Phantom Thief? The player who never showed up?

Apart from the initial meeting in the square, this player disappeared in the copy, without contacting anyone, as if invisible. If it weren't for the fact that there would be a prompt when the player died, she would have thought that the other party had been eliminated.

He showed up at this time, still wearing church clothes...

The girl's eyes flickered, and her clever little brain immediately grasped the clue:

He also wants to be baptized? And he doesn't even dare to participate?

The visitor was also observing the three people, but Rick and Yue Gong were not important, and he quickly turned his attention to Yuki. Although the latter's appearance had changed, his strength had been reconstructed last night.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am the Phantom Thief." He nodded slightly, his voice was very clear, and carried a very special sense of laziness.

It was a bit like a chance greeting on the street, revealing a relaxed atmosphere. Yuki raised his eyebrows slightly and understood the meaning of the tone.

Are you confident? It's not an act.

"Are you a 'cultist'?"

"Yes, I am indeed the last 'cultist'."

As he answered, the bowstring that had just been relaxed tightened again. Rick and Yuebow were both in disbelief. This man was too honest.

The thief was not distracted by the arrows and gun muzzles, because the key figure's expression did not change at all, as if he had already guessed it.

If true, then the identities of all players will be clear.

Ordinary people: Huayin, Heijian, Panzi.

Cultists: Phantom Thief, Joker, Pinto.

Undercover: Rick, Moonbow.

Judge: Me.

Yuki lowered his eyes. He already knew why this "cultist" appeared in front of him, the "judge". It seemed that he had good observation skills and intelligence and discovered the essence of baptism.

The advantage of the believers is the traps set by the game. If they really follow the plot foolishly, they can no longer be called players.

"You were in the church from the beginning?"

"Yes, here's the first tip from the believers: believers can become servants and help the church do things, but they cannot influence decisions." The Phantom Thief did not hide it.

"You are really brave." Yuki praised.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. At least players don't dare to approach the church. Even if there are, only believers dare to do so, and such players will not pose a threat."

"I know that cultists cannot attack cultists."

"Yes, that's clue three." The thief was still so honest, and suddenly asked back: "Don't you want to ask me why I came here, and whether it's a trick?"

"I'm a little curious about the first question, but there's no need to ask the second one. I'll answer it for you." Yuki sneered and said casually:

"It doesn't matter who you are, it only matters your stance. If you want to harm me, there's no need to show up in person. Tell the church the information and they will handle it. But you came here alone, which shows your stance."

There was no need for a long speech, just one sentence to summarize everything, making the prepared remarks of the thief useless.

That’s right, stance determines everything. Be it a believer or an ordinary person, it’s an identity assigned by the game, and each identity has countless solutions.

If he had sided with the church, he would now have countless enemies.

"Your reasoning ability is very strong. Yes, I cannot be baptized." The Phantom Thief did not beat around the bush and said directly: "I don't have skills like soul splitting. Doing so is too risky."

"Have you found out the essence of baptism?" Yuki asked knowingly.

"Yes, but before that let me tell you why I came."

"No need. I guess another group of players triggered the baptism ceremony ahead of time. Your plan was ruined. You got shot even when you were lying down."

The Phantom Thief moved his fingers uneasily, and once again lamented that the other party had strong reasoning ability, and sighed:

"Yes, my plan was originally for tomorrow at noon, but they took the initiative to request baptism tonight and implicated me."

The corners of Yuki's mouth twitched and he wanted to laugh. He didn't know what this man's plan was, but he knew how unlucky he was.

The group of people from Black Sword took the initiative to ask for baptism, which caused an abnormal gathering. The church was not stupid. Since they were all outsiders, they might as well baptize two of them together. This would put them in a difficult position.

'A player who is very good at raiding dungeons should have skills like scouting.'

Yuki came to his senses and realized that this thief had not contacted other players from the beginning, but directly used the identity of a "believer" to get closer to the church, and then stayed in the most dangerous places to collect intelligence and prepare plans.

He was very courageous and much more efficient than us in extracting information from residents. He also directly avoided the first and third tips.

But the reincarnation game has its own characteristics after all, with player confrontation and copy strategy each accounting for half. Even if he deliberately avoids confrontation, he will still be caught up in the butterfly effect.

"You were implicated in the confrontation between our two sides, why did you choose us who are weaker?" Yue Gong listened for a long time and finally couldn't help asking.

"First, I can't avoid baptism if I stand on the side of the church. Second, I'm betrayed by those people." The thief turned his head and held up his third finger. "Finally, because his strength is worthy of my trust."

Without waiting for Yue Gong to ask, he took the initiative to look at Jie Cheng.

"The battle last night was amazing. You actually killed a purple priest alone. I was deeply impressed by your fighting ability."

"you saw it?"

"You don't have to use your eyes to see." The thief looked across the messy cemetery and said in a long tone, "Just like you used a gun and a sword to kill that clown."

Going back in time?

Yuki suddenly felt that he had underestimated this man. Even Hiyori couldn't outline the 'murderer' based on traces alone. No wonder he dared to approach the church. This was a plan built around characteristics or skills.

In other words, he knows a lot of things.

Yuki smiled meaningfully. This guy was very smart. He gave him a reason that he couldn't refuse right from the start.

"Did you know this last night?"

"Well, I kept your secret, so that's considered a favor?"

It was a favor, just a way to leave a way out, but he accepted it.

Yuki pressed down with his right hand, asking Yuegong and Rick to put down their weapons, then he took a step forward and walked towards them.

Theoretically, there is no problem. Before Yuki can accept the other party, there is still one last necessary option.

"Did you bring any contract items?"

Hearing this, the Phantom Thief breathed a visibly relieved sigh of relief. It was convenient to talk to smart people, as they were more focused on profit, and he had never harmed the other party.

"If I didn't bring it, I wouldn't dare come to you. Strong people like you are usually very cautious."

He took out a roll of parchment and threw it to Yuuki, who was no stranger to signing contracts, and when he took it, he saw that it was already written.

[After signing the contract, you must not be hostile to each other and ensure that you can survive this instance together]

This was an agreement between both parties and it was very fair. Yuki couldn't find any fault with it and quickly signed the parchment.

The contract required the player code that was signed during the novice orientation. The word "Yuuki" was nothing special, but the name signed by the other party made Yuuki's eyes flicker.
