"Of course." Finina nodded without hesitation, her face darkening. "But we failed. Perhaps only those gentlemen at headquarters can defeat them."

"Who killed them then?"

"Uh, it's you."

"That's it. The Night's Watch wants to kill them, and I'll kill them too. And I'm stronger than you. So, if we both perish, won't the Night's Watch win?"

Finnina was stunned, blinked, and then nodded uncontrollably.

This is certainly a huge profit. If it was this demon who took action, not a single night watchman from the Rosen branch would have died.

"So I'm asking you to cooperate and find the minions of the Night. I'll take charge. You won't suffer any losses, and you'll resolve a major threat and put an end to this catastrophe. What's the problem?" Yuki saw that she had fallen into his trap and immediately launched a powerful logical offensive:

"If I'm not mistaken, this isn't the first time we've appeared in the Night's Watch intelligence. How did each catastrophe end?"

Finina's identity is not ordinary. After reading the classics in the headquarters, she fell into deep thought.

“When only a few minions of the night remain, the tide of the night will recede.”

"Perfect answer. Then who stipulated that the Night's Watch must kill the minions? Wouldn't it be better for us to kill each other more efficiently? As the old saying goes, whether I can do it or not is my business. If I fail, the Night's Watch will not suffer any loss."

Ah this.

Finina wanted to refute, but didn't know how. Yes, they were killing each other and would be done with it together. Why should we fight to the death?

But what about the Night's Watch's oath? They can follow their oath, and if they can't win, they can't win. In the previous catastrophe, the Night's Watch suffered heavy losses, but the outcome was still decided by the demons themselves. Even in the secret code, the 53rd Commander had cooperated with one side before the final battle.

She began to waver, shaking her head uncertainly. "Doing this would be a violation of my vow, and I can't accept it emotionally."

"You abandoned your companions and fled, breaking your oath. What's the harm in breaking it once more? As for emotions?" Yuki sneered, almost confident. "Emotions are the most useless thing in the apocalypse. This path is called 'using barbarians to control barbarians'. Besides, I didn't kill your comrades. In a sense, I even helped them avenge their deaths. Why can't you accept it?"

The real deception is to use strict logic and cruel truth to convince others, without any empathy, cutting off all retreat routes, and leaving the other party with only one choice.

Of course, Finina was not afraid of death, nor was she afraid of humiliation, but Yuki spoke the truth and reasoned with her, leaving the noble lady completely unable to refute. The unfamiliar term "using barbarians to control barbarians" seemed to be engraved in her mind.

"She is so pitiful. She looked like she was going to die bravely, but you fooled her with just a few words." Mana squatted on the ground, supporting his chin with his hands.

In the distance, a red-haired girl was grunting as she dug a hole to bury the bodies of her comrades. This was also the oath of the Night's Watch. They did not need a cemetery, and being buried where they died was the highest etiquette.

Rosen City was quiet. The mountains were collapsing and there was thick fog, but no one dared to come over to take a look. The residents of the Dark Continent were very well-behaved.

Matters concerning the night are handled by the night watchman, and no one will interfere unless a request is received.

"Because what I said is the truth, similar things must have happened before."

"How did you know?"

"I guessed it. The real strong ones don't care who they cooperate with. They only care about whether they can achieve their goals. If they want to protect the world, they have to end the copy as soon as possible, and the Night Watch can't do it with their own strength." Yuki snorted, and the red-haired woman's micro-expression made him confirm the information.

Since there was a precedent, why should she worry about it? However, Yuki was afraid that other players would follow the same strategy route, so he warned the other party not to disclose the secret.

If he was exposed, he would slaughter the night watchmen of the five branches as punishment, and it was Fanina herself who killed them.

"This kind of self-sacrificing person is very careful about his reputation. I guess he wouldn't reveal a single word even if he was tortured internally, unless he was sure he could kill us."

"So that's why you came to her?"

"Well, this kind of person is the easiest to control, and we are also very lucky. She is not very powerful, but her status is very high. If we leave this clue, maybe we can get in touch with the top leaders of the Night's Watch in the future."

Comprehensive control from physical, mental to personality?

Mana glanced at the sad red-haired girl and muttered again: "How pitiful."

At this time, Finina had already buried the bodies and moved back with a complicated expression. She was ashamed. Cooperating with the minions of the night was undoubtedly a violation of her oath. She was also excited because Yuki was right. This was a way to save the world.

"What do you want me to do?"

"The Night Watch has assistants, right? We will be your assistants." Yuki said simply. He had obtained this information in Oak Town.

Helpers are also called spies, and are generally used to find people who have escaped from the darkness. Apart from players, there are very few such people, and each of them is a good candidate for the Night Watch. Therefore, spies are now also responsible for finding players, and they belong to another type of Chaoyang District people.

Why does it sound weird to have the minions of the night as my helpers?

Finina pursed her lips, took a backpack from her warhorse, and pulled out a mechanical carrier pigeon from it, muttering something. But under the demon's vision, Yuki could see a strange energy being infused into it, turning the pigeon's black feathers into white.

Sure enough, there is a way.

When he heard the first hint, Yuki felt that there was a problem. How could he contact other players only with newspapers and telegrams? Now it seems that the solution lies with the Night Watchmen.

"Night Pigeons are equipped by Night Watchmen above Level 5 to communicate with spies. They carry my scent and will find us no matter where we are," Finina explained, adding:

"Only the Night's Watch can activate it. Don't even think about stealing it. Even if you steal it, other Night's Watch members won't be able to use it."

How afraid are you that I will turn on your companions?

Yuki reached out to take it, but saw the girl put it back, and he couldn't help but frown.

"You, you won't use me to deal with the Night's Watch."

"Before asking this question, ask yourself, what qualifications does the Night Watch have for me to deal with?" Yuki asked patiently.

Killing a large number of Night Watchmen might give him some reinforcement points, but he could only get them from players, and the Night Watchmen's weapons were not available to players, so Yuki had never planned to hunt.

That's true. They don't have to deal with the Night Watch. Hey, why do I feel like I've made a big profit?

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it, so she had no choice but to mount her warhorse woodenly and go back to the city while thinking. As for the first task given to her by Yuki, Finina was 200% enthusiastic.

Yuki asked her to contact her superiors to find out how many players were discovered in the Dark Continent, the approximate location of each player, and their respective strengths.

"It would be strange if she wasn't proactive. She's just hoping that I can get rid of all the players and get out of here immediately so that the Dark Continent can return to normal."

Yuki watched the warhorse galloping away, stroking his chin. This was a foreshadowing. Since Furninda could be persuaded by him, the Night's Watch leaders also had a chance. He didn't even need to persuade them. He was looking for partners.

Want to understand the secrets of the night? Who is better than the players?

Putting that aside for now, he looked up and saw that the sky was gradually getting darker. The third night was about to arrive. He turned around and looked at Manas with a smile.

"I told you not to worry. Look, the lights are now full."

"Yes, yes, you are so great." Mana wrinkled her nose, jumped and hugged Yuki's hand, tilted her head and looked at the man's indifferent face.

This guy is really different.

Yuki doesn't like the scenes in blockbuster movies where the protagonist defuses the bomb at the end and gambles with trembling hands on which wire to cut to avoid the explosion. It is indeed thrilling and exciting, but he has already experienced this stage.

The stronger the strength, the greater the stakes, and the harder it is to be thrilling. Now he prefers to calculate every minute and every second like a clock, giving people a sense of powerlessness.

Well, a sense of security.

......

The two returned to Rosen City and checked into the most upscale hotel. There was one advantage to cooperating with Finina, and that was that they were endorsed by the Night Watch, so no one would doubt their identities.

Each mechanical pigeon has unique energy fluctuations, and Christian Furnina's identity is even more convincing.

She was born into a royal family, ranked first in the 187th class of the Night Watch Academy, and the youngest level 4 Night Watcher. Even if someone recognized Yuki as a player, they would have to think for a while and consider whether this was a secret mission from the Night Watch senior management.

In addition, Yuki also learned a lot of information from her, such as who has escaped from the night, who has killed the Night Watch, and a set of textbooks from the Night Watch Academy, which allows him to understand these Night Guardians from a basic level.

From the small details like the content of the oath and work habits to the big details like the organizational structure and power system, such as the use of soul muskets and sabers, and how to burn souls for tracking, defense and flying, Yuki really found many similarities as he watched.

There is no difference in the color of the soul lamp, except that the night watchman's lamp is brighter. This ensures that they will not be easily extinguished by the tide of night, but it also means that the distance in the dark is increased and it is difficult to distinguish their identities.

His appearance is completely human, without animal ears or tail, so he doesn't need to use the Fool's Mask to disguise himself.

"As long as I don't use Chaos Items or other supernatural powers, at least the players won't be able to tell. The core of the Night Watch's system is soul energy, which is what I'm best at."

"Does that mean I can pretend to be a night watchman at some point?"

He touched his chin. Actually, this was not a big deal. He had heard Fei Lun say a long time ago that players of "Ether Particle" liked to play the role of plot characters in the magic copy.

The difficulty is how to make others believe it.

In the luxurious room, the heating made the house warm as spring. Mana was rolling back and forth on the big bed in a thin nightgown, sitting up from time to time to eat some raspberry-like fruits.

Yuki was too lazy to stop this childish behavior. This girl was sharp-tongued and her words, "Players can go without food and water, but being a player and completing dungeons does not mean being an ascetic," left him speechless.

"Well, the pace of this drama is starting to pick up."

It was exactly seven o'clock in the afternoon. The street lights were on, and the street outside the window was still crowded with people.

The natives are not fools. Anyone with a little knowledge can see that the night tide is spreading from the edge of the continent to the center. The only way to deal with it is to run away. No one dares to gamble whether his soul lamp will be extinguished by the tide.

Lawson City is an important city in the west, and the rural population is all gathering here. What is presented to Yuki is a human tragedy.

They set out in a hurry, and most people did not bring enough supplies, so they were begging on the streets. Fierce military and police officers were patrolling back and forth with batons, and occasional gunshots were heard.

Of course, the locals did not welcome these outsiders. The two sides had a cordial physical exchange, and then hunger gave rise to chaos. Some houses had been set on fire, and children separated from their parents were crying on the road, either knocked over by galloping war horses or deceived by friendly men with food.

Looking further east, there was also a crowded traffic flow, but the steam locomotive was loaded with supplies and was guarded by military and police, as if it were on a long journey.

It was a tragedy on earth, and then the night watchmen in Rosen City were almost wiped out. Tonight will be even worse.

Yuuki closed the curtains in disgust. He was a Monster IV player, even on the verge of epic. He could kill everyone in Rosen City in a few minutes, but he couldn't save everyone.

"I told you not to read it. If you read too much bad things, your mentality will inevitably explode." Mana lay on the bed, flipping through a book and stuffing raspberries into his mouth. His two white legs swayed up and down, looking leisurely and contented.

Seeing her heartless look, Yuki didn't know what to say. She was heartless because she had experienced too much, such as the destruction mission, which allowed players to directly destroy a world. As a bystander, she was already gentle.

Only at this time will Yuki accept the fact that Manas is older than him. Mental quality is something that must be forged through experience.

"Huh, this is only the third instance since I ascended. If Mana knew the truth, he'd probably think I was a brat." Yuuki was still a 'rookie' after all, and his heart wasn't quite up to par with a player yet. Hearing the cries outside always made him feel uneasy.

So he tried to concentrate.

First, use 5 enhancement points to upgrade Moonlight Ghost Step to Excellent, which increases the movement distance and teleportation speed, allowing him to move further and almost reach the door.

Next, the refresh features are extracted.

After the Unknown's costume is upgraded to LV4, it has a keyword setting, so Yuki will not have to force himself to draw one and then build a plan around it like before.

Now, I set keywords in a targeted manner based on the intelligence I have. I lowered my head and thought about it, and soon I came up with an idea.

"For the gift set, the keywords are [Strategy] and [Intelligence]."

It was the familiar card flipping process. After waiting for a while, a strange card appeared in front of me.

【Conceptual Dress: The Charming Moment of Journalism】

[After activation, a piece of known information will be distorted, spreading extremely quickly and gaining priority attention. The more truthful the known information, the more people will believe it. Used once. Range of effect: All instances.]

Why is this thing?

Yuki raised his eyebrows. He had originally wanted to draw a gift suit, such as "There is Only One Truth" to obtain player information more quickly, but he ended up getting a gift suit with the opposite purpose.

There are still too few keywords, so we can only locate the approximate range.

He shrank back on the soft sofa and touched his frowning brow. No one except him could understand the concept of this ceremonial dress, but Yuki only needed to see the effect at a glance to understand it.

Taking things out of context, prioritizing traffic, and attracting attention, isn’t this the charming moment of journalism?

But this charm is not all he has, as he can only misinterpret known information and cannot allow Yuuki to come up with a script like "Shock, the Night Claw is a Hero" on his own.

"The effect is quite exaggerated. It has triggered the law of causality, and the scope is even the entire instance."

This is the meaning of the "Unknown Costume". It is not as simple and crude as the Super Saiyan Possession, but there are many ways to play.

"It's useful. I can think of a few tricks right now. Taking things out of context is both difficult and easy."

While he was thinking, the sound of "ding ding" bells rang out, and the last trace of light was wiped out. Only two lights were left in the room.

Yuki looked at the girl lying on the bed. Due to gravity, her dress drooped slightly. Of course, there was nothing good about it. From his perspective, he could only see a flat airport.

Think about it later, this girl is about to start again.

Yuki already had a lot of experience, and sure enough, in just a moment, Liang Yi Mana, who was originally lying on the bed a few meters away, appeared in his arms with a "whoosh".

Because five lights were added today, the two soul lights overlapped to illuminate most of the room.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Yuki hugged Mana naturally, with a teasing look in his eyes.

"You're a Monster III player after all, could you please stop being so afraid of the dark?"

"No, I'm afraid, but there are no enemies now, so why should I overcome it!" Mana argued confidently, and two white hands stretched out from her suspender skirt and hugged Yuki's waist.

Like a koala, she really has no idol baggage at all.

Yuki thought of his senior. Sometimes his senior or Hayasaka were also scared to death, but they always kept a tough face. Not to mention Kaguya, who would rather die than show weakness.

The heartless old player just now formed a sharp contrast with the little girl who was afraid of the dark now. Yuuki lowered his head and looked at Mana's comfortable expression like a kitten. For some reason, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Well, the sense of accomplishment of being needed.

Chapter 6: There is no class under power

The night was as dark as a curtain. The sounds of crying, smashing, and gunshots came into the house through the windows. Fenina and her dozens of night watchmen were simply unable to maintain order among hundreds of thousands of people. The army and police were not much different from civilians in the dark.
