I am a reincarnation player.

Smart man, perhaps this is what Taiyi expects.

Yuki could have modified the frequency of the missions, but he didn't do it because it's hard to develop a habit, and all players of Thorn Rose have had this habit since the novice mission.

To be honest, she can't do much during a week's rest time. Just like Mana complained, one dungeon is so tiring. Every time she returns, she has to sleep for 3 days, then stay in the house for 3 days, and then go out to play with friends. If there is a faction war, she will also intervene.

This place is full of Niuma players, so they don’t have time to visit each other. Even if they go to the border area, they come and go in a hurry, and come back quickly to get familiar with the place after trading items.

Not only does it save a lot of points, but it also makes it difficult to expand your circle of friends. For example, Yuki went to play with the people in the diving club, and before he could come to his senses, the next mission began.

The problem is that I am busier than anyone else, but you guys can still brag and chat.

Yuki's eyes were filled with helplessness. This busyness also infected the seniors and others. They were all sent out, and they rarely came to this commercial street full of daily life.

"It's better to be pure. Almost everyone in our camp has no good feelings towards the reincarnation game." Yuki pointed to the bustling crowd outside the window. At first glance, it looked no different from the Earth.

"The ambitious people disappear in the physical sense. Since we are from the same Earth, it is relatively easy to make friends, and we can also see the scenes of our hometown." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had long discovered that the outpost deliberately prevented players from integrating into the game. He did not ask why and leaned forward slightly.

"So, when can we go back and completely escape this sea of ​​suffering? And what do you need me to do to help you?"

He simply asked all the questions at once. This time he came to find Sky Island Yuuki because he couldn't help himself.

"Not used to getting a bargain?"

"Well, pursue your own wishes. I don't want to wait for a savior to save me."

Full of energy.

Yuki drummed his fingers on the table. There were some things he was too lazy to talk about. Since the players of Thorn Rose had come to him on their own initiative, it would be fine to issue some orders.

"Find a way to improve our strength and the reputation of the Arbitration Council. You and Yiye Zhiqiu should find a way to unite the small teams and mobilize resources in the most scientific way. For example, in high-yield dungeons, you can fill them with more potential players and choose the candidates yourself."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka nodded. This was something he was already doing. Players' strengths varied greatly, and their skills and characteristics were all kinds of strange. If they could gather the elite, they would definitely gain more if he and Yiye Zhiqiu led the team.

"anything else?"

"That's all. Just focus on conquering the dungeon, improving your strength, and then wait patiently for the opportunity to come. You will be useful." Yuuki put down his coffee cup. He would not reveal even a little bit of the real core plan, even if Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and others could help.

The boy was a little disappointed. He really wanted to make progress, become a core member of the organization, and gain a place in this epic escape. He was also a little nervous. Yuki didn't say anything, but he also told him the result.

"Do you really want to fight?"

Yuuki laughed and shook his head, then stood up and put on the coat on the chair.

"Nonsense! Any salvation is created with iron and blood. Do you know why I asked you and Yiye Zhiqiu to integrate the players?" He leaned forward, asking and answering himself:

"I want to ensure that when the final moment arrives, the 1728 players in this outpost are qualified to fight to the death, using their blood and corpses."

"Pave a path to freedom."

Chapter 3: Sky Island City, Join the Hunt

Yuki is a complete hands-off boss, but he never thinks of himself as a savior with the mission of saving everyone.

Just like the song goes, there is no savior in this world. If there is, it is everyone himself.

To put it bluntly, the Thorn Rose has no irreplaceable value to Yuuki. The minimum requirement is that they don't leak secrets and hinder others. If Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and others want to sit back and wait for others to rescue them, he doesn't mind selling out this camp.

There's nothing wrong with escaping the reincarnation game. If it weren't for my senior sisters, I would have stayed in the Red Moon World and completely surrounded myself with my own thoughts.

"This is in line with the Gou Dao, but it goes against my oath, so I have to keep working on it."

Yuki stepped out of the space gate and stretched. As soon as he put down his coffee, he rushed to the intersection without stopping. After looking around, he found some differences.

The Inquisitor's surveillance was relaxed, which proved that the guess was correct. The Inquisitor was like the police, their resources were also limited, and a key target would pop up in a moment, making them overwhelmed.

Even more interesting is the player's reaction. Yuki found an intelligence broker and bought some random intelligence, and discovered an interesting phenomenon:

More and more players are adopting an uncooperative attitude. Like a pressure cooker, past dissatisfactions are erupting, and the number of killings of judges is skyrocketing.

The Judges are very powerful, but there are also many benefits to killing them. There is never a shortage of desperate people in the reincarnation game.

"News of Dio Brando's fall has leaked, proving that even the Grand Inquisitor is not invincible. Taichi's presence continues to grow, from a mere wanted criminal to a confrontation between two organizations."

Ordinary players don't need to know what 'Taiyi' is. They just need to understand that there are people who can compete with the Judge, and the latter's resources are stretched to the limit. Most of their energy is attracted by 'Taiyi' and they can't manage it at all.

Why not kill the arrogant judge? Wanted? Can you judge them all? If you run into Taiyi, won't you die a hard death?

That's great! In this world of reincarnation games, which is full of scoundrels, there is never a shortage of cool moves. There are probably more than a hundred "Taichi" in this information.

Yuki almost couldn't help it. The desperado was also his friend. As long as there was any trace of Taichi, the judge would not dare to send out an ordinary team. There were only eleven Grand Inquisitors left, and it would not be enough even if each of them was cut into several halves.

"The question is, how did such a deadly news leak out?" Yuuki was not just happy. Logically, the death of Dio Brando was a top secret, and even a fool knew that authority had to be maintained.

Taiyi can only be a stray dog ​​and cannot challenge the judge. Even if he can, he cannot reveal it.

Is it Sora or Ikaros? They probably can't do that. Ordinary players don't even know who Dio Brando is. Could it be that the Inquisitor himself leaked the information?

Yuki didn't quite understand, and didn't rush to guess. He walked alone in the chaotic streets and also went to the trading ground to attend a few auctions.

He didn't buy anything. After spending dozens of points and disappearing in the vast crowd, he went to Area Z after making sure that he would not be targeted again.

This area is completely different from the entertainment area where I had a date with Hayasaka before. It is filled with various simulated battlefields and training rooms, including simulated reality, cultivation illusions, and memory reproduction.

The average player's rest time is four months, and they can't just use that long time for fun. They can participate in simulation battles to familiarize themselves with the newly acquired Chaos props, or strengthen their bodies in the training room with a thousand times the gravity, or simply take poison to increase their resistance.

No wonder players generally don’t have enough points. Training is a huge expense. Even increasing poison resistance by one percent can save lives in a certain dungeon.

There are groups of players all around. Most of the facilities here are safe enough. Once the life of the player is threatened, they will be forcibly terminated by the rules of the game. Of course, there are places where you can experience the real moment of life and death, but you have to pay extra.

"In the circular arena, players fight one-on-one until their last breath. In memory replay, the most terrifying boss in your memory is recreated. Even if it's fake, killing it can help you overcome your inner demons. In the doomsday lava, is this how players of the reincarnation game soak in the hot springs?"

Yuki holds a flyer in his hand, and every time he comes to the border area, he is amazed. You know, if your proficiency in ordinary skills is high enough, there is a chance to be promoted to extraordinary skills, and it can also increase your experience in dealing with various schools.

Of course, what he was most satisfied with was the mercenary atmosphere at the border. There was nothing mysterious about it. In order to gain points from the players, each camp would write the flyers clearly.

What about the ultra-high gravity and magma package, what about discounts for virtual reality for more than 2 hours, what about succubus psychological counseling after battlefield simulation? Over the years, every business has been epic.

Yuki wasn't interested at all, and the reason was simple: most of the facilities were marked with "Epic-level players are not welcome." It was obvious that the strength of these items could not withstand the full force of an epic-level player.

He stopped in front of a building that looked like a steel factory. This was the territory of the intelligent machine. The metallic shell was monotonous and smooth, and countless pipes could be seen. Inside were culture chambers that looked like test tubes, and there was a thick pipe on the top connected to the headgear.

'Virtual reality' technology is the forte of the omnic camp. As long as there is enough data, they can simulate any battlefield, whether you want to fight a hyperactive boss alone or train your group fighting skills to become invincible on the battlefield.

This will not bring any enhancement to the panel, but combat experience is also very valuable. Every move and every planning of physical strength is scientific. When the player actually receives the task of sweeping through the enemy, he can copy this experience.

Absolute privacy, data is erased on the spot.

This was the credibility guarantee of the "Intelligent Machine". Yuki paid 300 points like several other players of Zhan Kuang, and was then sent into the incubator by a robot.

A special green liquid surged up, feeling a little cool. This thing is also a kind of virtual reality. It uses electric shock to simulate pain. The gear is selected by the player. When the hood is covered, the scene in front of you suddenly changes.

He stood in a wasteland, which was the inner battlefield of the racial game, with debris and corpses stretching into the distance.

The sound of the wind, the pollution of energy particles, and even the stench of corpses penetrated into my nose. I pinched the side of my thigh and felt normal pain.

"I know it's fake, but just like the previous script-killing games, it's hard to distinguish between fiction and reality."

Yuki sighed, "If this real-life game were on Earth, wouldn't it be a huge seller? Sword Art Online wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes."

By reading the memory data, the gravity is no different from the previous copy, and the enemy's tactical movements and strength are all the same. If the points are enough, it is equivalent to doing another copy.

Fortunately, Yuuki was not here to review the mission, and he did not dare to use his full strength. The epic transformation would cause the CPU to explode directly, because the limit it could simulate was the power of the monster at level IV.

"They hid it very well. They even digitized it directly, adding another layer of separation from reality. No wonder the judge couldn't find it."

Yuki found a piece of wreckage to sit down, turned his head, and saw countless data turbulences floating in the air, and the pink-haired Ikaros walked out.

As a wanted criminal, she certainly had special hiding skills. The girl still had that expressionless look on her face, spreading her wings and flying in the air, her head tilted with a questioning look.

"Don't overthink it. I was just trying my luck." Yuki came uninvited, gazing at the surrounding wasteland. "But your reputation as an Omnic isn't great. You said you'd erase the data, but you're secretly collecting it."

The reason why he never encouraged senior students and others to come for special training was because these facilities all had secret doors. When the memory of the inner battlefield was read out, Ikaros, who had the same experience, appeared directly, but Yuki was not here to blame.

"You're a wanted criminal, on the purge list of the Reincarnation Game. Even the Judge can't erase you, so you won't betray me. Come down and let's talk."

Ikaros was still flying in the air. Yuki said it easily, but in fact she was more afraid of being betrayed by Yuki.

The Omnics had already investigated and knew that this person was definitely not the 'Civilian Superman' Rhodes, but as he said, anyone could report him to the Inquisitor except her.

Therefore, she didn't even dare to avoid him, but now she sees that she was deceived.

The angel fell to the ground unwillingly. Her logical ability prevented her from blaming Yuki. Even though this man was mysterious and dangerous, without him, she would definitely perish in the copy.

"You want the Omnic to cooperate?"

"To be precise, it's mutual help. Your 'Skynet' should be able to analyze my identity, so we are on the same page when it comes to dealing with the Judge." Yuki still used the old method, never involving personal feelings, nor asking for gratitude. Only common interests are the strongest bond.

"Because there are so few surviving players, the Inquisitors can't understand what's going on in the 'Race Game,' but they must investigate thoroughly."

Ikaros nodded. This was about the fall of a great inquisitor, that was certain, and now he had come to his senses.

The reason why there are so few players surviving the 'race game' was already planned.

"I'll let it go, but why did you let Mr. Kong live?"

"He is a lone player, it's not that easy to catch him, and he won't betray me on his own initiative." Yuki was quite confident. The sequelae of the severe damage to the Hundred Eyes of Truth were not just about following the clues.

The Inquisitor could no longer determine which factions were participating in the dungeon. The only thing he could be sure of was Ikaros. In other words, her current survival situation was precarious.

The pink-haired girl had a strange look in her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to say "It's all your fault". It was still the same point. Without Yuki, she would have died long ago.

"You want to drag the Omnic into this? Have you calculated this already when you were clearing the dungeon?"

Yuki smiled but said nothing. Of course, cooperation was a kind of test, and he didn't mind saving first and then killing.

"The fact that the Omnics chose to protect you shows that they don't mind fighting against the Samsara Game. Since they've chosen to fight, the more friends the better. Am I right?"

The space twisted, and another long string of 010101 symbols appeared, and this time two people walked out.

One has long platinum hair, a round face, and looks extremely cute, even a little silly. The other one is very handsome, has short hair, and wears a white tights.

Ghost in the Shell, Motoko Kusanagi.

Human heart, computer, angel heart, Xiaoji.

These two can be considered ancient anime characters, but they are quite well-known. Yuki is not unfamiliar with them.

Epic level, or in other words, the survivors of this team are all epic level players. Together with Skynet, they constitute the core strength of the intelligent machine. Obviously, these players are all in the same boat. It would be strange if the Judge could find Ikaros.

"I don't like being threatened, but you have a point, Mr. Rhodes." Kusanagi Motoko nodded slightly. If Taichi hadn't been making so much trouble recently, the judge might have really judged their entire camp.

This is clearly a traitor, even Valhalla should step back.

Of course Yuki knew this information, otherwise he would not have come in person. His goal was simple. Valhalla was already eye-catching enough, and the network of relationships had to be laid out from another node.

"Enough of the small talk. Just because the Judge is unable to intervene now doesn't mean they will ignore you forever. Why not take this opportunity to take the initiative and make sure they never have the ability to judge you again?"

The three of them looked at each other. Isn't this nonsense? The key is that they are all epic level I, and even a great Inquisitor is difficult to defeat. This time, they can no longer keep a low profile.

"You mean, let us participate in the war?"

"No, you should be the starting point to find allies with the same idea. I think there are connections between the wanted criminals." Yuki sat with his arms and legs spread out, and he had already had an idea along the way.

Valhalla represents returning players, while the Omnics belong to the "wanted criminals" category. The two do not overlap, but they have a common enemy.

This gentleman guessed?

Xiaoji tilted his head slightly. Of course, the intelligent machines had contacts with wanted criminals, but that was top secret. It would be disastrous if the judge knew about it.

"It's not just a guess. My people have contacted the 'Yojiya' and we can dig out some clues from them." Yuuki saw what the girl was thinking. This path was the responsibility of Hiyori and Kaguya. Starting from the 'wig' to contact the 'Yojiya', they had already done it in the previous copy.

While Yuki was busy, the others were also busy. They had already advanced on their own while the Judge had no time to split himself.

This... is quite acceptable.

Kusanagi Motoko felt better, realizing that this person was confident enough to come to her house in person. The Yorozuya could take its time to consider it, but they couldn't, as they had recently received intelligence.

The Judge is planning to change the overall strategy to a focused one, and the first blow may fall on their heads. Who said that the only player faction that can be determined in the "race game" is the omnic?

"You're going to help us fight the Inquisitor?"

"No, I can't win, and now is not the time to get into a fight."

"Then why should we help you if you just talk without any evidence?" Kusanagi Motoko's face was full of disappointment. She showed up in person because Yuki could solve the problem.

"Because I can put your threat aside and divert the Inquisitor's attention elsewhere." Yuki said without further ado, patting his butt and standing up. "Miss Ikaros isn't the only player whose identity has been exposed. Dio Brando must have sent back a mission briefing before his death. If the Inquisitor isn't a moron—"

"They will find out that 'Civilian Superman' Rhodes is the culprit."

Even with the help of plot forces, Ikaros could not have killed an entire team of judges. There must be a conspiracy and trap hidden in this, so the "civilian superman" who was forced to assist is the most suspicious.

"But you are not Rhodes. This person hasn't appeared in a long time." Ikaros shook his head. They had also investigated this matter. Although that person did not come out to prove his innocence, everyone with a discerning eye knew that it was impossible for this player who had just entered the epic level to do so.

"Rod's identity is not important. What matters is whether the culprit the Judge is looking for is in the Kingdom of Heroes." Yuki said little. To win over another type of player, a pledge of allegiance is necessary.

As long as you help the "omic machines" overcome difficulties, you can rely on their network to gather "friends", not only for the final battle, but also because what follows is a long hunt.
