I am a reincarnation player.

"No, it's psychology. This kind of restraint has its limits. When faced with the prospect of starvation, few people can exercise self-control."

"I understand. So the rules you set don't affect core interests. If you follow them, there's no loss. If you don't, you'll be wiped out. Even a fool knows which choice to make."

Yuuki nodded slightly. He actually liked being alone with Hayasaka because the maid really understood him.

"Besides, I, the 'God', truly exist. I am truly invincible. The less I exist, the more afraid they become. On the contrary, if I personally intervene, it will only arouse their ambitions sooner or later."

"It's like hiding above the clouds. Without knowing the full picture, humans won't have wild thoughts. But if you break through the clouds, even if you're as big as a mountain, there will always be ants trying to climb to the top."

Yuki talked freely. He didn't really want to be a lazy guy and ignore the power of the camp. Instead, he chose the most efficient and safest path.

It turned out to be the case.

Hayasaka Ai seemed to be thinking about something. To put it bluntly, it was the difference between behind the scenes and in front of the stage. When the clouds were broken one day, the orders issued were in the interests of the majority of players. Driven by habit, the players would naturally let them do as they pleased.

Haha, Yuki will indeed only say dirty words to you, but he will also only explain to me why he does that.

The maid puffed out her chest, feeling that she had won again, and moved slightly to the left, leaning against Yuki.

"It's a great plan, but isn't it a little strange for us to be discussing this like this?"

On the bench, handsome men and beautiful women ate ice cream cones and watched the "performance art". It seemed to have nothing to do with topics like gods. Coupled with the many couples around, it seemed too ordinary.

Time passed, the ice cream cone finally melted, and Hayasaka pulled Yuuki up again.

"Next, accompany me to the commercial street. I'll be very busy later and need to prepare some things."

"Commercial Street? Oh, that's the market."

"Yeah, yeah, you set a 48-hour limit, plus it costs 100 points to go to the junction, so many players choose to digest it internally." Hayasaka grabbed Yuuki and ran away. "Hurry up, I haven't been shopping in a long time."

Did you forget the important thing?

Yuki finally remembered what he was going to do. He glanced at the white little hand that was holding his wrist. Hayasaka Ai started running, her blonde hair flying, full of youthful vitality. If it weren't for the purple vortex above her head, she seemed to be back on Earth.

Oh, who cares.

......

It was a starless night, and the huge palace was filled with coldness and silence. The black mud on the green floor surged and gradually gathered into a human shape.

A figure in a robe and a mask emerged from the black mud. Above the mask was a giant eyeball. The eyeball was lifelike, with pure white pupils. It turned to the window, reflecting a strange building.

In the boundless wilderness, there stood nine huge buildings. Some of them looked like palaces, some like towers, and some looked like giant weapons. Outside the huge buildings, there stood a huge black gate.

Like the mouth of the abyss, a crack appeared in the giant door. As the light flickered, some players appeared from the crack.

The Gate of Judgment.

I blinked gently, and a moment later, I saw a white figure standing by the window. He seemed to have been looking out at the wilderness, but my eyes didn't notice him.

Slightly startled, the Eyeball Man quickly bowed his head.

"Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor, when did you arrive?"

"This is my palace, of course I'm always here. Don't be so reserved, just call me by my name." The figure behind him answered in a low and gentle voice, turning his head to reveal his handsome face in the shadows.

He has brown hair, a high nose bridge, and gentle eyes, revealing the stability of an adult everywhere. It is this look of a caring uncle that makes the eyeball man almost kneel on the ground.

"Hey, I told you not to be so reserved." The man glanced at him and smiled gently. "So, you came to see me so soon. Have you found any definitive clues?"

"Lord Aizen, I'm sorry, I haven't found it yet."

"Oh? Tell me in detail." The middle-aged man named Aizen raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, and the world changed.

Baiyan was no longer standing in the hall, and could no longer look out the window. It was standing in an almost boundless giant palace. There was a pale moon in the sky, and in front of it was an endless long staircase.

Aizen sat on the long steps, overlooking the earth like a god. The feeling of oppression made every muscle tremble.

Everything was like a mirage, and no one knew whether it was real or fake. Bai Yan didn't even have time to marvel at the greatness of the power, and quickly told everything.

"No matter the prophecy, cause and effect, or destiny lines, no trace of 'Taiyi' can be found. The cause and effect on that note can only be used once, and the two judges sent out have already fallen. According to the information they sent back, 'Taiyi' is likely to be many pieces, and they have already located one of them."

"But the player who provided the note didn't come forward to trade. I, we are looking for them."

That's it?

Aizen looked at the information sent back by the fax machine, but he didn't quite understand it because the fax machine was cooling down when the truth was revealed, which happened to contradict what he had found before.

The player who provided the note revealed the existence of 'Taiyi', who was in the Thorn Rose.

However, the information sent back by Ulquiorra said that 'Taichi' was a blond young man who had formed an alliance with the players of 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade' and 'Aether Particle'.

So, these two aren't the same fragment? Is there a discrepancy in the causal tracing?

Aizen thought quietly, accepted the fragments, and suddenly laughed: "But you didn't find them. Those players didn't even leave a trace. It's likely that they were directly wiped out by Taichi?"

"Yes, yes." Bai Yan felt aggrieved. He had already sent out judges according to the upper limit of the copy, and Sigong Huangguang and others were treacherous. He had no authority to break through the border restrictions and forcibly obtain intelligence.

In fact, there is no need to obtain it by force. As long as you give a little benefit, those people will not only talk about it, but also lead the way.

"So, you used the lives of two Monster IV Judges to gain only one guess?"

"Yes." Baiyan nodded reluctantly, and quickly added, "But now that we know about the existence of the 'Thorny Rose' faction, we can definitely follow the clues and find a breakthrough. It's just that this faction is a bit strange."

"How is it strange?" Aizen walked towards him, full of curiosity.

"We can't find any players with the necessary permissions, not even a sliver of them, to sneak in and establish a beacon."

"You mean, they have pioneers in the absolute sense?" Aizen stopped. This is very rare in the reincarnation game.

If the pioneer's rights are regarded as a piece of cake, every player has the right to eat the cake. Death will break it, and collection will aggregate it. In theory, one player can enjoy the cake alone.

But in reality this is impossible to do. For example, if there are two epic players in a camp, why would they entrust their lives and property to you? In order to make things easier, they may even take the initiative to divide the authority and give it to loyal subordinates.

"You've spent so much time and effort, and all you're giving me is some questions? Have you found a real breakthrough?"

Tears streamed down his eyes, and he dropped his head to the ground, answering honestly:

"Not yet. A judge has found the players in this camp, but they are restricted and cannot provide any information. However, we still have a way..."

Swah——

The knife flashed, the sound stopped abruptly, a line of blood appeared on the neck, a white eyeball rolled on the floor, the pupil dilated, and it was still unknown what had happened.

"This is punishment for your arrogance. Arrogance leads to slow progress, allowing Taiyi to fill the loophole. It was originally a simple matter, but it was complicated."

Aizen told the reason for killing it, his tone still so gentle. He was helpless and angry.

"That's Taichi, the strongest reincarnator, the former hero of the Samsara Game. Even if it's really just a fragment, you can't take any chances."

Baiyan could no longer hear the rest of the words. He turned into ashes and disappeared in the palace.

Aizen didn't bother to even look at it from beginning to end, and he understood the other party's grievances. There was nothing wrong with the whole process, and he did his job diligently. The only mistake was arrogance and luck.

"Lord Aizen, I will report this matter to the Eyes of Truth. There is no problem with the Byakugan's handling, and we have found enough clues. If we follow the clues, it won't take long to find Taichi."

Another black mud surged and gathered into an eyeball again, and this eyeball was completely black.

"Yes, if you spend more time and manpower, you can always find clues, but don't forget that it costs a lot to lock down an innocent player in a camp. Even if you find him, you won't receive an invitation. How long do I have to wait before I know the full picture of this camp?" Aizen looked over with a smile, and when he saw his eyes froze, he raised his hand to stop him.

"You mean to say that we gave the order 'at all costs', so why would we be stingy? Then I want to ask you, is 'Taiyi' really among the thorns and roses?"

"At least one of them is there. The information from Sigong Huangguang and the messages sent back by the two judges all point to this. Do you think it's a coincidence?" Heiyan seemed more courageous and took the initiative to refute.

"There are no coincidences in the reincarnation game, but tell me, why are the players of Thorn Rose still clueless even after using causal tracing?"

"No, this can only remove the suspicion of these players."

"Then why wasn't Briar Rose included in the list? Or do you think Ulquiorra didn't die and chose to rebel?"

These words hit the core of the matter and made Heiyan completely dumbfounded.

Yes, the murderer will be wanted by the Judge, and his camp will be included in the list. This does not mean that he will be wiped out, but the Judge will be able to easily find players from this camp, and they will not escape his sight even in a closed world.

All players in the faction will become 'visible', and there is no need to predict or track them, you can find the murderer by following the clues.

So, inferring from the setting, Taiyi is definitely not a player of Thorn Rose, but more likely a cooperative relationship, which makes the difficulty increase sharply.

Looking for Taiyi hidden in the Thorn Rose and looking for the collaborator hidden in the Thorn Rose are two different concepts. You should know that except for that Sigong Huangguang, other players of the Thorn Rose have never heard of Taiyi.

This indirectly proves that the 'Taiyi' in the 'Wizard's Tower' is at least not the same person as the 'Taiyi' in the Thorn Rose.

"Ah, so you're also arrogant, optimistic, and even a little foolish." Aizen's words made the black ball shrink into a ball. Facing the fear emanating from it, the man smiled and waved his hand, "But I won't punish you. At least you have the courage to refute me. Keep looking. There shouldn't be too many players in this camp. It's best to find a player with permission and sneak in to take a look yourself."

Shinomiya Huangguang is dead, but the clue is not broken, and this clue is safer than the "Wizard Tower" itself. If possible, Aizen does not want to expand the scope of the attack.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor." Heiyan breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground waiting for instructions.

"Find someone who's genuinely willing to cooperate, use him to infiltrate, and find out who the pioneer of 'Thorny Rose' is. If he's collaborating with 'Taiyi', he's probably not an ordinary player."

"clear."

"Don't be impatient, and don't alert the enemy. Since this is a cooperative relationship, Taiyi can terminate it at any time. If the only clue is lost, you will all be punished."

"I understand." Heiyan lowered his head. Of course he knew what the punishment was.

"Also, the investigation can focus on those female players. They could also be a breakthrough point. Remember, be stealthy, but not too slow."

"Didn't you clear them of suspicion?"

"No, it needs to be verified at least three times to be completely ruled out."

Heiyan took the order and retreated, leaving the palace in silence again. Aizen didn't pay attention to him. Instead, he lowered his head in thought, with various expressions changing on his face.

Countless possibilities are unfolding, countless plans are being prepared, and even countless futures are being deduced.

After an unknown amount of time, Aizen sighed softly.

"Taiyi hid well. Those idiots alarmed him. Soon we were in the light and he was in the dark. It's still unclear who the hunter is."

The sound echoed in the palace, and after a moment, a rather heroic voice was heard.

"Huh, sounds like you're nervous. How about just giving up the mission?"

"Please don't joke like that, Mr. Madara." Aizen replied casually, taking a step forward and standing by the window. "Birds can soar because they dare to jump off a cliff. I'm happy to challenge difficult tasks, but I haven't felt this excited and conflicted for a long time."

"You always like to say these incomprehensible things. Either you do it or you don't. Why do you need so many excuses?" A man wearing a red breastplate and black hair appeared behind him, his arms folded across his chest.

He both liked and disliked Aizen. He was a very smart man, but he liked to do strange things, such as cultivating a sense of companionship among the judges so that they would not be so cold-blooded and numb.

The swords of the reincarnation game are supposed to be numb, so what's the point of allowing the judge to have more emotions? And he, who is committed to promoting this matter, did not show any emotional fluctuations when his closest subordinate Ulquiorra fell.

Fake, all fake.

"The game has released a 'Reincarnation-level' trial mission, requiring the elimination of 'Taichi' and all players related to him. Judging from the difficulty alone, this is almost impossible to complete." Aizen repeated what everyone knew.

"No matter how difficult it is, it must be completed. This is the price of leaving the faction and becoming a judge." Madara didn't consider as much as Aizen did. He frowned and asked coldly, "Why don't you expand the search range and find traces of Him among other players?"

"It's simple. Taiyi's existence was eradicated at great cost to the Samsara game. Reviving his legend is not good for the game. There will always be some players willing to fall into depravity."

"Huh? The reason why the reincarnation game erased him is because he left the game? How is that possible?" Madara asked in confusion. This is very common in games, but there is a huge gap between wanting to do it and doing it.

Aizen was speechless, he just waved his hand, and the hall with blue tiles twisted and turned into an endless sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Humans, demons, intelligent machines, giants, even space battleships, all kinds of corpses stretched to the end of the horizon.

The blood was like an ocean, and the air was filled with blood-red raindrops.

At the highest point, stood a lonely figure.

He held a simple long sword in his hand, his scarlet cloak fluttering in the wind. Even without turning around, his back alone was enough to make people shudder.

Aizen stood in the distance. The Great Judge felt like an ant, as if he had traveled through time and space and was once again facing that figure.

Uchiha Madara next to him tensed every muscle. His understanding of 'Taiyi' was limited to a difficult target, a reincarnation who betrayed the game and forced his way back.

After experiencing the "mirage", he found that he was too naive and too simple.

This wasn't something that could be described as a difficult target; it was far beyond the player's concept. No wonder the reincarnation game had become...

"Everything is killed, everything is cut off, wherever the blade goes, everything is destroyed."

Aizen borrowed the "Mirror Flower and Water Moon" technique and no longer needed to answer the question of the other Grand Judge. He just slowly raised his hand and pointed into the distance.

"This is Taiyi."

Chapter 6 Pure Player (K)

Well, there have been some changes at the Outpost.

Yuki sat on a wooden chair, looking at the gradually darkening sky. In his memory, there was no distinction between day and night here.

Evolution? No, it looks more like revival. I remember when I first arrived here, it still looked like a battlefield.

He took a sip of beer. This was not the beer exchanged from the game. The boss said that some lucky flowers were added to it, which could slightly increase luck. Anyway, Yuki drank two bottles and didn't feel anything.
