I am a reincarnation player.

Thinking of this, Yuki felt a little uncomfortable. He was not a robot. He had fought side by side with Chris and others for several days. He had witnessed so many sacrifices and still had some feelings.

If the 'Fire' is destroyed, the Wall of Sighs will lose its function, the insect swarm will be able to cross the mountains, and the creatures in the basin will not survive for more than a few days.

But I am a player. I can't just not complete the main quest and live and die with them. If I delay it, how can I guarantee the safety of my seniors?

Yuki rubbed his head. He was really having a headache due to the collision between rationality and emotion. Perhaps it was because he had not been in the reincarnation game for long, so he was not that cold-blooded.

"Forget it. There's no concrete information on this thing, so there's no need to think too far ahead. We should slowly get closer to the truth before we can make a choice."

He was not bothered by it. The other lurkers would not think as much as he did. After going around in circles, he came back to the senior sister and others.

If a lurker gets ahead and extinguishes the "fire", the guardian player will be in real trouble and will not be able to hold on until the 30th day. Should he leave or not by then?

"This is a matter of great importance. Johnny Silverhand and the others definitely don't trust me completely. No wonder they only came to me."

Last night, Yuuki and Hiyori met secretly, and Briar Rose was not invited to enter the core strategy circle, which obviously meant that she was not trustworthy.

How can it be believable? I hypnotize myself every day and dream of loyalty.

"It turns out that the Letter of War is a puppet bug. Only the game prompts can be trusted." Yuki roughly understood the fifth prompt, which is the most important reference for the enemy and us.

Because he was a Lurker, he spent a week but still couldn't get his reputation with the Zerg to 'Disgusted', and it was even more impossible for other players.

Therefore, those who arrive here are not necessarily loyal guards, but the camp that has fought against the puppet worms is definitely "loyal".

But what exactly are puppet worms? The initial guidance materials given to me didn't contain any information.

Hiyori used her points to find someone to redeem them, but after realizing she knew nothing about it, the other players kept it a secret.

Yuki was a 'traitor' and had no contact with him. After thinking about it, he made a decision:

This busy helper, in addition to gathering information about the 'Spark', also had to allow Johnny Silverhand to access the central database to check the information of all players, thereby determining which factions were trustworthy.

Yuki saw a chaos item similar to a USB flash drive in the storage space. This was the task assigned to him by the strategy team.

"Put this thing on the central server, and Johnny Silverhand can directly transform into a data entity to invade. He must have a very high skill in this area."

Yuki did not doubt the other party's ability, but how could he do it? It was known that the central database was on this aerial battleship, but players had no way of getting close to it.

"It would be great if the senior was here. She would have a chance to sneak in directly. Fortunately, Hiyori is not bad either. I have the most thieving companions around me."

Yuki gave the girl a little smack and maintained his patience. This battleship was too huge, with probably tens of thousands of cabins. There was no way he could do anything about it.

We have to wait for the right opportunity, and wait for Hiyori to read some information with the Void Puppet. At least we have to figure out the approximate location of the central database.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door, and the automatic door unlocked, revealing Hiyori standing at the door.

"Mr. Yuuki, I'm here to return the book."

The two of them had never met before, but although Rihe looked like a soft girl and had low combat power, the players were not averse to approaching her, and she got along well with most of the players.

The book must have been scanned, but it is impossible to find out the code book. This thing was compiled inside the outpost and cannot be taken out in a short time.

"Do you have any reflections?"

"Yes, it's all written in the book." Hiyori bowed slightly, turned around and left, treating everyone the same way.

I have learned the essence of acting, and the senior sister has done a good job in teaching me.

Yuuki smiled inconspicuously. The spirit particle communicator would arouse suspicion, so this primitive method was the most effective. He flipped open the novel and saw the girl's annotations. To others, this was just the experience of a literary girl, but to Yuuki, it conveyed a different message.

"Besides you, Mr. Silverhand, Ms. Smile, and me, there are three other players from different factions: Mr. Purple Shadow from the Shadow Kingdom, Mr. Caretaker from the Cemetery Guard, and Mr. Saito from the Samurai Soul."

"I have had contact with each of them. Mr. Purple Shadow and Mr. Caretaker are probably not human. I have read abnormal body tissues in them."

......

This is followed by a long paragraph of detailed description and analysis, including their movements that night, the content of each person's communication, personality traits, etc.

It was like Hiyori didn't sleep all night, constructing a portrait of the characters from various details, like Saito meditating quietly like a stone Buddha, there is also Ziying who has the strongest hatred for the defense forces, and the guard who has a forced smile and is as sinister as a corpse.

Observing other players requires talent and a lot of energy, and Yuuki can do it, but he sleeps soundly.

"Since you said Ms. Smile and Mr. Silver Hand are fine, then I think Mr. Purple Shadow and Mr. Watcher are the most suspicious. They clearly noticed the Void Puppet but pretended not to see it. However, I read their micro-expressions at that time."

"Combined with future reasoning, please be careful of them."

Awesome, Hiyori is becoming more mature in using features.

Yuuki closed the book, feeling quite satisfied. Even 'realistic reading' was a bug; even the best acting skills couldn't capture those fleeting emotional shifts. Even when Yuuki was on guard, Hiyori caught him repeatedly.

These two people?

Yuuki recalled the image in his mind. Apart from Silver Hand and the Smiling Lady, he had no contact with any other players. He seemed very different and aloof, and also seemed extremely loyal.

"The Shadow Realm, according to the information he revealed during his previous complaints, should be related to ghosts. The guard smells like a corpse, more like a ghost."

Judging from the encounter in Lancui City, it makes sense that non-human players have no interest in "Guardians".

Yuki never thought of catching the traitor, but the traitor must be more anxious than him, and might be able to create some opportunities.

Hiyori also provided many details, such as the difficulty of detecting the Void Puppet, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' special forces, the direction of movement of the aerial battleship, and more...

boom! !

A huge explosion suddenly sounded, and the battleship, which was as stable as a rock, shook violently, throwing Yuki directly away from the small table.

Before he could react, his feet were attracted to Qiang like a magnet. He instinctively drew his sword and looked left and right.

"what happened?"

The soft white light in the room had turned red, the shrill alarm was echoing, the automatic door opened, and the suction force generated by the high-altitude pressure relief threw all kinds of objects out.

External attack.

Only then did he come to his senses. If the defense forces wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, the price would be too high.

And why does this look a bit like a spaceship?

I stuck my head out and saw a big hole in the vine-covered wall. The thick armor was corroded and in a mess. Some of the guards who were watching were sucked out with screams.

A head popped out from the side, it was Shiina Hiyori. The two looked at each other, silently conveying information.

"Zerg, there must be some players causing trouble. The headquarters hasn't been attacked in a long time and has been hiding in the sky."

"Are you saying a player transmitted coordinates, allowing the Zerg to strike with precision? These defense forces aren't fools."

"Mr. Yuuki, don't forget that our players' power system is completely different from that of the dungeon. There's always a Chaos Item or a Super Skill that can break through the signal shielding."

That's probably the case, but wouldn't the Defense Forces have guessed it?

Yuuki accepted this analysis and waved his hand, telling Hiyori to retreat back to her room.

"Be careful and use more puppets to explore the way."

Regardless of whether this is a way to lure the snake out of its hole or not, it is a good opportunity to advance the plot, and Yuki has decided to take advantage of it.

boom! boom!

The floor shook violently several times again, and then a blue light curtain rose outside the hole, and a dandelion-like ball of light could be seen exploding on it.

A protective shield similar to that of a brain worm, which non-living things cannot break through. In other words—

[The entire ship has entered the first level of combat status. All soldiers are ready for boarding. Loyal guards please stay in Area K and are not allowed to leave without permission.]

The broadcast sounded, and it took a total of 14 seconds from the start of the first attack. This reaction speed was already quite fast, and Yuki listened and analyzed.

Players are not allowed to leave without permission. Isn't this luring the snake out of its hole?

They were ready for boarding battle right from the start. It was impossible for this warship to not have a defense system. Could there be something wrong with them?

Yuki had no idea how many conspiracies were involved, nor was he interested in finding out what had happened to the defense forces. He just looked around.

No barrage of bullets was seen outside the hole. Switching to the demon's vision, one could see groups of black souls approaching rapidly without any obstruction.

"Sure enough, there's something wrong with the defense system. It shouldn't be the players who did it."

Area K is quite large, and some players are still shooting guns in the test field on the hangar side. In the rest area are him, Hiyori, the samurai, and the player guarding the cemetery.

The door to the samurai's room was locked, as if he was in a state of strategic concentration and didn't care what was happening outside. The guard ran out of the room and met Yuki head-on.

Both sides tensed their muscles. In this chaotic situation, the covenant was a blank sheet of paper. In terms of strength, Yuki was many times stronger.

"Mr. Guardian, where do you want to go?" Yuki took the initiative to speak, making the other party feel relieved.

"After such a big change, of course I have to come out and take a look. Where has that show-off Ziying gone?" The gravekeeper covered his face and shouted at the top of his voice.

Ziying is the player who boasted before about hooking up with the NPC. He and the guard have similar interests and have been inseparable for the past two days.

"It should be in the hangar. It's a mess everywhere now, so it's best not to run around." Yuki reminded, seeing that the dilapidated wall was slowly being repaired by a kind of fluid metal, and the hurricane involved was gradually getting smaller.

The buzzing sound also weakened a lot, and another sound came with a slight vibration. It was the sound of cannons, which came from inside the ship. It must be the insects that drilled in through the hole.

"The defense forces have their own problems, they won't let us take the blame, will they?" The guard's pale blue skin and stiff face had no expression, but his eyes were a little panicked.

The player had only been there for one day and such a big thing had already happened. How could he explain it? But he really knew nothing.

"There must be a lurker among us who has somehow leaked the coordinates of this ship, but the blame isn't entirely ours. At least it's impossible for the defense system to fail." Yuki spoke very quickly, concentrating and asking:

"Sir Watcher, do you know what a puppet worm is?"

The player certainly can't handle it on his own. This is a joint effort of both parties. In other words, this lurker has already contacted the Zerg high-level officials and made the latter mobilize all their pawns.

Only in this way will it be possible to launch a direct attack on this giant battleship.

The watcher hesitated for a moment. He knew that there were seven players on the ship, and even if half of them were lurkers, it would be impossible for the battleship to be idle.

dong dong dong...

The machine guns were roaring, and the light shield was filled with dense barrages of bullets. It was obvious that the battleship's defense system was back online.

"Tell me, do you really want to take the blame?" Yuki shouted.

"Puppet worms are parasitic humans. Before they're exposed, the defense forces can't detect them, making them true sleeper worms. We can't reveal too much about them, especially not revealing who the puppet worms are. Otherwise, the Zerg's reputation will plummet, and they'll become their target."

Yuki suddenly understood why the players were so secretive. It turned out that this would attract hatred. The defense forces were helpless, but that didn't mean the players had no way out.

"What are the characteristics?"

"Our team has only encountered one. It's a bit like a psychic warrior. Ziying said that each puppet worm has different abilities."

Not lying, I confirmed that this person is the 'Guardian', it seems that someone else has a problem.

Yuuki was already testing the waters, so he simply said, "Go get Mr. Saito, and let's go meet up with Gintsu and the others."

"Where's Miss Hiyori?"

"She has no fighting ability, so don't come and hold us back."

They were very cold and heartless, but the place was in chaos and the only way to be safe was to stick together. The guards didn't care about being gentle with women, but after knocking for a while, there was no response from inside.

no one?

Yuki frowned and nodded slightly. The guard raised his right hand, and his palm turned purple-red.

boom--

The alloy door was flattened directly. He seemed to have great strength and grabbed the dent and pulled it to the side.

"No one, where did he go?"

The room was empty, and there was no sign of a samurai. Yuki had actually seen it with his demonic vision, and he pretended to look around.

"I don't know. Then forget about him. Let's go find Ms. Smile first."

Denise and Johnny Silverhand are recognized as the strongest. Whether the ship is blown up from the inside or the defense forces come to settle the score after suppressing it, it is always right to stay with them.

The two returned to the hall. The hole had been mostly repaired with fluid metal. On the left was the engine room leading deeper into the ship. Since they were all in Area K, they did not disobey orders.

But before they could enter the passage, the explosion-proof door on the other side had already opened. That was Area B, which was also the direction the players were coming from.

Are you coming to settle the score with us so soon?

Yuki turned his head in confusion and saw the Reaper mecha, a team of psychic warriors, and some marines beside them.

The two sides were a hundred meters apart, and the sound of military boots hitting the ground became clearer and clearer. The leader was wearing a red military uniform. He was the dark-skinned middle-aged man who asked everyone if they were ready yesterday.

It's understandable to send some people to watch over the players after a sudden attack, but it doesn't look like they want to detain us.

They packed the corridor tightly, without speaking, and walked forward silently, which seemed very oppressive. Anyway, the guards were anxious and kept giving Yuki glances.

Resistance is impossible, and one can only resort to verbal attacks and quibbling.

Yuki was also thinking about how to deal with it, but as the newcomer approached, his eyes gradually became suspicious and subconsciously switched to the devil's vision.

Grass!
