I am a reincarnation player.

"Sir Finina, who is this gentleman from headquarters?"

The remaining night watchmen of the Rosen branch were also looking up at the sky. If the higher-ups hadn't conveyed the mission, they would have followed with great excitement. The red-haired girl who was asked about it had a strange expression on her face.

It's him, it must be him.

Finina blinked, originally still in the endless shame of being a 'spy', because she was the one who told Yuki when the reinforcements would arrive, and of course she knew that it was impossible for any big shot to come to Rosen City tonight.

He deceived everyone because he did not kill the Night Watchmen, so his identity could not be exposed by his sins. He was too far away to recognize the light of the lamp. But how could he use the Soul Fire Gun?

The night was too dark, and Yuki had not committed many crimes. The only thing that could be identified from a distance was the attack method. If Yuki took out a laser cannon, he would not be able to fool anyone even if he turned into the appearance of Finina.

It just so happens that the Hunter's musket's attack method is similar to the Night's Watch's Soul musket, which is the real evidence.

But why did he want to help? Did he want us to owe him a favor?

This was the problem that Finina couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried. The chaos had nothing to do with the players. Even if 100,000 civilians died in one night, it wouldn't make the top brass change their stance. Instead, killing those nobles would get him into trouble.

Finina really couldn't figure it out, and just then she saw a bald strong man running towards her. This was the deputy director of the Rosen branch, another level 4 night watchman, with whom she had just had a big quarrel.

Having suffered heavy losses, Finina firmly proposed that they should abide by the oath to maintain order at night. As a result, the bald man used the excuse of "a drop in the bucket" to forcibly split half of the people to protect the nobles who retreated overnight.

This time the flattery hit the horse's leg. It was obvious that this gentleman was very dissatisfied with the actions of the Rosen branch, so he hurried to come to me to plead for mercy.

"Sir Finina, who on earth is this gentleman?"

The subordinates were still asking questions, and the red-haired girl glanced at the hundreds of colleagues riding into the city. The latter were obviously confused about the situation and simply followed orders.

"I don't know either." The girl enjoyed the dead silence of the night and suddenly smiled:

"But he is certainly a kind lord."

......

The chaos ended within eight shots, and the night returned to silence. Clusters of lights remained in the night, and those that were still moving were the night watchmen who had just entered the city.

Their original mission was to assist the nobles in their retreat and then clean up the city during the day, but now they were carrying out more specific orders and inexplicably following their oaths, and the senior leaders leading the team were even more confused.

We didn’t hear that any adult was coming, and why did this adult ignore us and disappear into the dark forest?

"It's so beautiful, this is the real night." Mana stood at the window and looked out. Because many people went out on the streets, hundreds of thousands of lights formed a Milky Way, making his blue eyes sparkle.

She suddenly felt a little proud. She killed hundreds of people but saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. She felt it was an honor. What was even more terrifying was that the man was different from her own willfulness.

Yuki can be willful, but he will use his willfulness to create greater benefits in the future.

"I'm reminded of a Zen saying: 'To kill is to protect life, to eliminate karma is not to kill people. Brother, you are truly remarkable."

"What a mess, stop flattering me all day long." Yuki opened the door, like a teenager taking a night stroll. If he turned off the lights, he would be pulled into the darkness, but with his speed, it would be difficult to be noticed.

"I simply used Finina's intelligence, calculated the arrival time of the reinforcements, and used the Hunter's musket's characteristics to its fullest potential. Well, I also added some factors such as the reduced number of sins, the increased light from the replenished Soul Lamp, the darkness, the psychological warfare between the natives and the Night Watchmen, and the power suppressing the class."

Are you, are you bragging? You've piled a dozen or so conditions on a simple, willful act, and that's not impressive?

Mana's mouth twitched, wondering if his flattery was too simple, so he simply poured a cup of hot tea and stuffed it into Yuki's hand.

"Where's the peeping player?"

"He ran away, and when he saw me chasing him with a group of Night Watchmen, he must be full of questions in his mind now." Yuki took a sip of tea with a smile on his face.

"He didn't realize you were a player?"

"No, the experiment was very successful. It seems that I can really play the trick of passing off fake goods as genuine ones." Yuki shook the teacup with a playful smile. This was not a whim.

When he first entered the dungeon and dealt with the level 7 Night Watchman, he had already started to think about it.

"It doesn't matter if he's suspicious. Power can be disguised, but interests can't be explained." Yuki snorted, with cold rationality: "If a player secretly cooperates with the Night Watch, the goal is definitely not to save the city as a 'small matter'."

This is arrogance and cold logic. Whether for players or Night's Watch, eliminating a minion of the Night is more important than 100,000 lives. How can they lose sight of the important and expose themselves?

This is the core of the disguise, even above the hunter's musket. Now that Yuki tells him face to face that he is a player, he will probably be nervous and look for an explanation.

"You really see through the bloody human nature." Mana didn't know what to say. It was because he saw through human nature that he could take advantage of it. He simply jumped and threw Yuki onto the bed.

"I don't want to bother with such troubles. Don't move. I want to hold you while I sleep."

Slender legs stretched out from under the skirt and wrapped around Yuuki's body. A small face was close at hand, and the faint fragrance exhaled fanned his face.

Yuuki wanted to check the panel to calculate how many players were left on the third night, but then he stared at her thick eyelashes in a daze.

The manas was small, soft, and slender, with a faint fragrance. Invisible mental power swept over his body, which was another unconscious large-scale search.

Still not giving up.

Yuki laughed, closed his eyes, hugged Loli, and fell into a deep sleep.

The night should be dead silent.

Chapter 7: Yedu and the Enemy

Woo woo woo...

With the noise of propellers, the airship slowly moved eastward. Although it was very slow, it could cross mountains and rivers. It was the most advanced means of transportation in the Continent of Night.

Those who can afford to ride on the airship are either rich or noble. The huge cabin has floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. The well-dressed dignitaries are holding wine glasses and chatting elegantly.

Yuki blended perfectly into this environment. Wearing a neat suit and holding a glass of red wine, he leaned against the window with a smile on his face, looking out at the towns and winding rivers below, and of course the dark crowds of fleeing refugees.

The Kingdom Avenue has been closed by the army, which is not considered as taking human lives lightly. The night tide usually takes away half of the people. If they are all squeezed into the core of the kingdom, if a catastrophe like the one in Rosen City happens a few more times, I am afraid that half of the people will not survive.

The king and high officials held meetings overnight to think of solutions. The airship ticket prices had been driven up to the sky, to the point where the average wealthy person would have to sell all their property.

97 people.

This is the number of remaining players on the fifth day. Nearly 40 players died last night, but Yuki was not panicking. This was due to the calmness of the intelligence network.

The Night's Watch began hunting, and he found that he had underestimated these natives. In terms of physical strength, they were far from being the players' opponents, but they had two unparalleled advantages.

First, accurate tracking. The more Night Watchmen you kill, the larger the tracking range.

Second, the Night's Watch is not very afraid of the night tide. There is a piece of intelligence that a certain hunting activity forced the players into the tidal range.

Third, the night tides are absolutely obscured. Within the tidal range, no news can be transmitted. Similarly, outside the tides, the interior cannot be detected.

I really underestimated them. If we make good use of the darkness, there is a chance of a counterattack.

So Yuki became more cautious and would not pick up the airdrop even if he received the prompt. It was not the time to meet him yet.

A mechanical carrier pigeon flew over and jumped into the cabin from a special pipe, which made the approaching nobles stand in awe.

It turned out to be a spy.

The status of the Night Watch has skyrocketed recently, and its partners have also benefited from it. Yuki took the carrier pigeon and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don’t have to bother bragging to these people.

What elegance? It's just a group of people secretly testing him. His identity cannot withstand investigation. Now that he has the endorsement of the Night Watch, any test can be covered up by saying "confidential".

"Let me see what happened."

Yuki has been on the airship for a whole day and is now approaching the territory of the Kingdom of Britta. There has been no leakage of any extraordinary energy along the way, but he has been able to learn a lot of things through the Night Watch's intelligence network.

If players are high-profile, they will become the first to stand out; if they are low-profile, they can only find information from newspapers, and Yuki's intelligence network is already at the highest level.

"Abandon the confrontation between armor and missiles, and embrace the integration of signals and fire. Hey, the battle between players is a battle for intelligence."

The mechanical carrier pigeon did not need such an ordinary method as a note, it was more like a mobile recorder, but once the breath comparison was completed, Finina's voice immediately rang in his mind.

First, the night tide is still expanding, and Rosen City has been included in it. Nearly 30% of the continent is trapped in the tide, and the daytime is also becoming dim. The results of the research of the Night Watch’s top leaders are that the 12-hour day and night boundary is blurring, and the night is becoming longer than the day.

The poison circle was shrinking, and there really was no loophole to exploit in the reincarnation game.

Yuki sighed. If it was just night, players could stay in the poison circle during the day and take action at night.

Second, some Night's Watch are hunting according to their oath. In addition to tracking sins, they will also intercept any high-speed moving targets.

Well, only the Night's Watch have supernatural powers. They are either friends or enemies. It's wrong for me to be so low-key.

Third, the battle between the two sides has begun to intensify. Nearly 50 locations where supernatural forces are engaged have been discovered. The two sides have fought more than a dozen times, hunted 5 players, and detected 10 players. Their respective characteristics are as follows.

Yuuki took a closer look and found only one companion on the list.

The Sahara Empire, the White-haired Archers, defeated a division head-on, but suffered few casualties.

The Great Warrior Emiya showed mercy. It seems that he also discovered the characteristics of the Night's Watch and cannot kill them casually.

Fourth, information about the Night Watch’s organizational structure and leadership. Hmm, I didn’t expect the commander to be such a wonderful person. I can adjust the plan.

After the recording was finished, the night in Rosen City did not cause any waves. The only gain was that Finina's attitude became positive. For Yuki, this benefit was enough.

The red-haired girl takes the initiative to do things, which always saves brain cells from selecting false information. Her status is neither high nor low, so it is difficult for her to attract attention.

"Now I know the scope of the Night Tide. Hmm, it's indeed shrinking towards the center of the continent."

He looked out the window and saw a flat green plain. As the most central and powerful country on the continent, the Kingdom of Britta had an extraordinary status.

This is the most prosperous city, with the largest population, and also where the largest number of players and Night Watchmen are concentrated.

As the stage becomes smaller, the density of the Night's Watch's forces will also increase significantly, and they will no longer be able to eliminate a branch as easily as before.

Yuki sensed the hidden meaning and kicked the loli in front of him.

"Hey, how long are you going to watch?"

Mana seemed to be glued to the viewing mirror, wearing a gorgeous purple and black long dress with black stockings. No matter from which angle she looked, she was an aristocratic girl who had left home to relax.

"The Britta Plain is beautiful. If I don't do something, there will always be little kids coming to play with me, and noble ladies coming to bother you." Mana rubbed her little butt. Since she boarded the airship, she didn't know how many blind dates and social gatherings she had rejected.

"No need to worry now." Yuki released the mechanical carrier pigeon and coldly rejected the invitations of dignitaries. Because of the low level of technology, everyone now wants to know what happened on the mainland.

"I'm sorry, this is confidential. The Night's Watch will inform the kingdom of any related news, and you will hear from internal channels soon."

He turned into a parrot, and then found that Finina had another advantage, that is, when the nobles mentioned that her direct superior was her, they would leave with regret on their faces.

"It seems that Finina's reputation is not very good." Mana also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how prosperous this plain was, she was almost tired of it.

"On the contrary, she has a very good reputation, but she is a little inflexible." Yuki spread his hands. Rosen Night was a time for the two of them to improve their favor with each other.

A person who is willing to keep his promise and maintain order in the dark even at the expense of offending his colleagues cannot be considered a bad person at all.

"That's true. I want to laugh now when I think about you fooling her."

"That's called telling the truth. We'll be in Night City in two hours. Go back to your room and pack your luggage. Oh, and by the way, Emiya has been found."

"Hey, where is he!?"

"Nanbian, don't be too happy. I don't intend to expose my whereabouts and lure him over here."

"Why."

Yuki paused and turned half his face to the side: "Because I am only responsible for your safety. Other than that, I am just a pawn."

This was very rude to Valhalla. Mana stood there in a daze for a few seconds before rushing over with joy.

"Brother, you really know how to please girls."

"Let me go, everyone is watching."

"Don't~"

.......

Kingdom of Britta, Night City.

This place is several times larger than Rosen City, with a permanent population of nearly two million. It is known as the art center, financial center and political center of the Dark Continent.

The wide and straight streets were crowded with humming steam engines, and even horse-drawn carriages were rare. Parks and squares were scattered throughout the city, and artists playing the shamisin could be seen everywhere, making people feel that the catastrophe had never come.

Looking down from the sky, it looks like a huge round cake with five ring lines spreading outward in sequence. The only flaw is that most of the buildings are grayish white. Although it looks solemn and majestic, it is inevitable to feel visually tired after looking at it for a long time.

Yedu, what a big city.

Yuki got off the airship. This was the landing field closest to the city, and right in front of him was the straight First Avenue.

He seemed to have come to an old European city, with five- or six-story apartment buildings on both sides of the road. Outside the Fifth Ring Road were large factory areas, with pale smoke columns rising into the sky.

Looking forward along the road, you can see even larger and more solemn buildings. Those are the government agencies and royal palaces of the Kingdom of Britta. In the core, there is a huge gray-white tower that is taller than any other building in the entire city.

"Is that the headquarters of the Night Watch?" Mana looked around curiously, and seemed to like this elegant old city very much.

"Hmm, Night Torch, do you feel that energy?" Yuki squinted, his intuition telling him he was being scanned. "If we kill two more Night Watchmen, it would be a grand welcome ceremony now."

After entering the dungeon for nearly a week, Yuki almost understood the price of being high-profile, but unscrupulous players are always a minority.

"Most players will stop playing the Night Watch as soon as they discover its unique characteristics. Some might even copy my strategy."

"Cooperating with the Night's Watch as well?"
