"To be precise, he's a like-minded friend." Lu Ge had been dealing with Yuki for a long time and knew that he wasn't someone who liked to show off, nor did he want to become a big boss.

Perhaps in the eyes of true strong people, ambitious people like Sigong Huangguang are just playing house games.

He led a few people into the store. Because the strength of the Thorn Rose was average and there was no authority dog, every player had equal status and would not receive any special treatment. They just went to the private room under the guidance of the poster girl Onimaru Hitomi, which made Ayanokouji Kiyotaka a little dazed.

This doesn't seem like a discussion about the future of a camp, but more like a gathering of office workers after a hard day's work?

When I opened the door, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol. When I looked inside, I saw that everyone lived in Bengbu.

A naked man was lying on the table with his eyes rolled back, and there were wine bottles all over the floor. Another, stronger naked man was lying on his back on the floor. When everyone saw the man's black balls, Arisu Sakayanagi covered his face with his hands.

"Since you're all here, find a seat." Yuki sat opposite, his cheeks slightly red, grilling meat. "These two scumbags dared to provoke me, and they've paid the price."

If you provoke me, shouldn't you be beheaded and bleed for thousands of miles?

Ayanokouji didn't know how to complain, so he nodded to the person behind him. More than ten players found empty seats and sat down, putting the two naked men next to them. They looked at the strange expression of the man rolling his eyes and looked at each other in confusion.

So what are these two doing here? Performance art, or decorating the venue?

However, in this everyday environment, looking at Yuki eating barbecue and drinking beer, it is impossible to be nervous. As for Oreki Houtarou and others in the front row, they have either worked with Yuki or met him, so they are even less nervous.

"If you want to drink, pour it yourself. Ask the waiter to bring you some drinks. Kitahara is treating, so eat as much as you can." Yuki invited everyone, even though these things didn't cost much points at all.

Everyone looked at each other and followed suit. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka poured himself a glass of juice and couldn't help but ask, "These two guys from the diving club are pretty strong, how could they get drunk by you?"

"If you want to get drunk, there's always a way. Haven't you heard that alcohol doesn't make you drunk, but you make yourself drunk?" Yuki lit a cigarette and experienced an epic lung injury. "As long as you're comfortable, you don't have to care about what others think."

"Like your weird behavior?" asked a boy with dead eyes.

"I think 'casual' is more accurate." Yuki glanced at the boy with the dead eyes. Isn't this 'Great Teacher'? He shook his glass and laughed:

"I'm stronger than anyone else, and I don't need to care about anyone's opinion. It's just that you're lucky. You happen to be happy with what I like."

What I mean is, if I ask you to drink with your head in your hands, you have to put on a smile; if I ask you to listen to my lecture with trembling legs, you have to put on a good face.

Doing whatever you want is the privilege of the strong.

"You are still the same as before, no, I should say you have become more real." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka sighed, thinking back to when they first met, this man had to pretend to be himself.

"Because I've become stronger, if my preferences and goals change at will, how can I be called a strong person?" Yuki shook his head in disdain, flicked the ashes onto his plate, and took a sip of wine. "Let's talk while we eat. You're all leaders of player groups, and it seems you've guessed something."

"My name is Sky Island Yuuki, and I am the only pioneer of this faction. I have found the path to freedom. What remains is how to achieve it."

There was no need for any pulling or testing. Yuki revealed the answer in a casual manner like drinking and eating meat.

Everyone was blinking, as if they hadn't come to their senses. Everyone had thought about the scene of discovering the secret, but definitely not in this way like chatting after dinner.

"Aren't you... afraid that your secret will be exposed?" Ye Qiu couldn't help but ask. Yucheng tried every means to hide his identity, but it was exposed so easily?

"Even if the judge discovered this secret, there would be no time to prepare. I didn't want to be mysterious, so I chose the most efficient way." Yuki glanced at him, his logic simple and crude.

Due to the authority suppression, the intelligence of this camp cannot be disclosed. Even if the judges try their best to find out the target, they cannot get in and have no time to prepare.

Since time is limited, why hide things? Just tell everyone clearly who I am, how strong I am, and what I want to do.

Mystery and intrigue depend on timing; sometimes being decisive and forthright is the most efficient.

"Let me be frank. The Briar Rose is the place I have chosen for the final battle. The Judge will kill all players related to me. Instead of playing guessing games, I'd rather give you this time to prepare yourself mentally." Yuki was too straightforward and placed two wine glasses in front of him.

"There are only two paths: either we succeed and return to Earth together, or we fail and die here together. What we need to do is avoid internal friction and concentrate all our efforts on achieving the former."

Everyone was so thirsty after hearing this. It was too refreshing, but they also felt that Yuki was right and did not feel any resentment.

Ninety percent of the preparations have already been completed. Are we supposed to just sit back and relax and enjoy the remaining progress? The faction trial is no secret; even the most optimistic people wouldn't dare to hope to let it go.

"You want to tie us together in a boat?"

"We're all in the same boat. Since you and I are on the same planet and in the same camp, there's no chance of jumping ship." Yuki's voice turned cold as he spoke the harsh truth.

"Since time can't be reversed, why bother dwelling on these issues? We've already come this far, why bother turning back? How about treating everything we've been through as a nightmare?"

This is a foolish dream, no different from an ostrich burying its head in the ground. Any player who has survived to this day is a realist.

Unable to betray, unable to object, and even without the right to choose, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka finally understood why Yuuki was so casual.

Today is not a discussion or exchange of interests at all. Taiyi is simply here to convey his will:

Either you give up and wait for death, or you fight with him, there is no third way.

"How much time is left?" He felt his lips turning pale, and he felt powerless as if he would be stabbed if he stretched his head forward or withdrew his head.

"Soon, all plans have been launched. I want to end everything before the reincarnation game reacts." Yuki was too lazy to explain too much. He needed the power of the thorn rose, but not that much.

"Can't you tell us something in a different way?" Sakayanagi Arisu said with a resentful look on his face.

"Like I said, this is the most efficient way. I'm not good at deceiving people, I'll just tell the truth." Yuki glanced at the clock and poured himself a glass of wine. "It took three minutes to explain the problem. Now you have five minutes to digest the information. You can also eat some barbecue to soothe your nerves."

Damn, we have to thank you.

I retracted my preface. Everything was carefully arranged. Sky Island Yuuki was very gentle. Knowing that the amount of information was too much, he specially arranged a barbecue to entertain everyone. If it was a solemn scene, I guess everyone would have had a heart attack.

I was controlled by this guy from beginning to end.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Thorn Rose was different. She didn't even stand a chance at the Exile Junction. Was she really going to give up and wait for the Judge to kill her?

The wall clock made a ticking sound, and many people subconsciously ate barbecue. The delicious taste really soothed their nerves. Gradually, they found that these five minutes were too long, because Yuki's time was their time, and it seemed as if there was a fire burning under their buttocks.

Either leave or die, there is no choice at all. Even betrayal is a luxury. All players are under the close surveillance of this man. If they can really get in touch with the Judge, there must be a landmine hidden.

Ayanokouji and the others had experienced Yuki's treacherous ways and had confidence in his abilities. Even though he had a 100% chance of survival during the bloody disaster, he still managed to survive.

"What do we need to do?"

In less than five minutes, these people also made a decision with extremely high efficiency. The matter was so clear that hesitating for even a second would be irresponsible to his own life.

Yuki said nothing and handed a thick plan to the latter. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka swallowed his saliva and opened it, but was filled with questions.

He didn't know if it was confidential because some projects were too strange, like A15.7.

"Gather at least 1000 players, form a super-large player team, and then expand the area of ​​their own exclusive space???"

"Well, I've increased the permissions and expanded each person's exclusive space from 1000 square meters to 100000 square meters. Each room is based on a team. In theory, you can use these people to create countless exclusive spaces of 100 square kilometers."

"So what's the use of this?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka still didn't understand. This was a bit like a bug. The area of ​​each room was madly expanded, but the original 1000 square meters was too spacious. It was like a person living in a big villa, which was creepy.

"It will definitely be useful, but you don't need to know." Yuki didn't explain. This was already an extraordinary world, and the fortifications were certainly beyond imagination. The first task of Ayanokouji and Kiyotaka's people was to be my engineering dogs.

The decisive battle is imminent, and it will be difficult to keep the news secret once it is spread. But if you think about it carefully, there is no other way.

This will be the stage for the final battle, and the players inside can't be completely unaware of it. Wouldn't it be a disaster if the Judges broke in? Furthermore, Yuki will invite players like the Savior and Valhalla to join them, making it difficult to achieve a seamless transition.

Then just sell it proactively and you can still get some value out of it.

Waiting for the trial was too agonizing, and everyone was worried and had no appetite for barbecue. Yuuki didn't make things difficult for them. Except for asking Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and a few others to stay and talk, he let the rest of the players leave.

Gradually it was time for dinner and the outside of the box became bustling. After Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and the others left, the only sound left in the room was the snoring of two naked men.

Yuki sat upright, drinking cup after cup of 'Oolong tea', looking at the clock and talking to himself.

"Hiyori, any news?"

After the division of authority, a young girl was quietly reading countless images above the starry sky. In terms of observation and monitoring alone, she was more powerful than Yuki.

"The news is spreading within a small circle, and the core members of each team have already learned about it." The girl looked at the astonished faces and experienced the joy of a stalker. "Did you reveal the secret on purpose?"

"I can't hide it anyway, so I might as well sell it. I've hidden it for so long, even if it's exposed, it'll have to fetch some price." Yuki grinned. This was a conspiracy, and even more so an open one.

Don't you want to know where my lair is? I'm handing you over my secrets right away. Even if my guess is wrong, you have to bite the bullet. Otherwise, you won't even know the location of the decisive battle. Isn't that ridiculous?

"I thought you wanted to use a substitute to divert attention. That way, they won't be able to be fooled." Hiyori was puzzled and felt that the secret was revealed too early.

"Don't think the enemy is too stupid. Similar tactics have been used before. Even if my Stand is made of iron, it can't stop multiple Grand Inquisitors. Sending a large number of troops would be a waste of time."

Yuuki drummed his fingers on the table, Mobius hadn't arrived yet and he was already planning the war.

Use a stand-in to start a resonance in a certain faction? Use a false target to attract attention?

It's naive. Others can break it easily as long as they don't underestimate the enemy. How much combat power is needed to resist several great judges directly? This operation is unsustainable because resonance requires reincarnation props. The judges also understand the process and it is impossible for them to let you take back the reincarnation props. Isn't this operation like a transport captain?

"A fake target won't attract attention. You need a real target."

Real goal?

Hiyori pondered as he looked at the flickering screen. Some players had dull faces and a strange light in their dilated pupils. Needless to say, some secret doors had been planted there.

The Grand Inquisitors are all top figures with unimaginable extraordinary powers. She was so cautious, but she almost got caught before, not to mention other players. The enemy had already sown seeds using various means.

Yuki told the secret, touched the lines of fate and cause and effect, and these seeds are quietly sprouting.

This was normal, and everyone even knew it. After all, Briar Rose was the main target, so it would be strange if there wasn't a backdoor. As for these players—

"I understand! Because of the permissions, we can't get any information from the outpost, and you've closed the gate to the border. If we want to make contact, we can only do it in the dungeon!" Hiyori felt a sense of excitement after deciphering the secret, and said excitedly:

"The Inquisitor must have a way to bypass their authority. You adjusted the mission frequency interval so that you could send the seeds into the dungeon and allow them to access them."

"Because it's real, they'll take the bait. And it's not just anyone who can bypass permissions. Once they enter the dungeon, even a Judge won't be able to escape instantly. You can use this method to weaken the enemy!"

No one can trap the Judge in the border area, but the rules are different in the dungeon. Even the connected city cannot escape. Information can be transmitted in real time using props such as "fax machines", but people cannot come back.

That's great. Mr. Yuki is a power-hungry person. He has control over who can enter the dungeon and when, and he also gets rid of the unstable factors.

"Take advantage of their opponent's strategy and kill two birds with one stone. Doesn't the Judge need intelligence? I'll give it to them. To be on the safe side, they must send out multiple groups of people." Yuki knew very well the importance of intelligence. It was precisely because of its importance that he could use it.

"Luring out the Grand Inquisitor is wishful thinking, but as long as I can draw out a few epic judges, I'll make a killing."

Letting unstable factors go to exchange pieces is of course a huge profit. All you have to pay is some information, which is insignificant.

Describe the geographical features? Provide a list of the players involved? Or drag the seniors into the water?

I'm ready for a decisive battle, so how could I give you the chance to defeat me one by one?

"This is only the first level. I don't hold out much hope. I'll just trap as many as I can in this dungeon."

"There's a second floor? Let me think about it." Hiyori loved guessing riddles, so she used her brainpower and finally got some clues: "You want to use a carrot to dangle them and provide a clear direction for investigation?"

The reincarnation game is in conditioned reflex, Yuki is using this window period to prepare with all his strength, and the judges are not idle either, they are also looking for a breakthrough and exploring where Taichi's lair is.

What is now exposed is the camp of "Savior" and so on. It is better to trigger the seeds at this time than to dig deep for clues with great effort.

"Well, they have many options, but right now there's the most direct and simplest path. All it takes is a little waiting. The natives of the Thornrose know more than players from other factions, right?"

This is inevitable and very simple. 'Faction Judgment' has a cooldown period and is effective on the judge himself, which has already exposed him. At this time, he dare not act rashly.

5 Grand Inquisitors can annihilate a powerful camp, but the problem is that if you want to destroy the entire camp and retain the players who must stay, you have to use the camp judgment. If the city is activated at this time, will they watch it go or let the Grand Inquisitor on standby jump in?

Even if the Grand Inquisitor wanted to move, he would have to wait until Taiyi activated resonance. At least he could still grab the reincarnation item as compensation.

"Then... is there a third level?" Hiyori asked humbly.

"Yes, the first two levels are just feints. This third level is where it really comes in handy. Do you want me to tell you?"

There really is a third floor.

Hiyori's face wrinkled into a ball. She could never think of the third level. This was a psychological game. A small action contained a lot of foreshadowing.

"Let's keep it a secret. I'm looking forward to what Mr. Yuki will do. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go put together the list."

The call was hung up. Yuki really liked the feeling of being admired, even though the old pervert didn't seem like a positive character at all.

There is no way, the gap in strength must be made up by operation.

Yuuki showed no signs of reformation. He simply glanced at the side and asked, "When did you wake up? Did you wait until everyone was gone so you could ask me about my secrets?"

"Bullshit secrets, I'm not interested." Kitahara Iori sat up instantly, reeking of alcohol, but his eyes were extremely calm. "I just wanted to ask how confident you are. This is going to drive you crazy with your life."

"If you don't fight, you'll die sooner or later. The Judge's mission is to kill all players related to me. The entire Thorn Rose is within this range."

Kitahara Iori's cheeks twitched. He thought that he had not betrayed Yuuki to gain a chance of survival. To put it bluntly, the players here didn't know many secrets at all, and they didn't even have the capital.

"Don't worry, I won't joke with my life, and I don't plan to make a comeback after failure. Just place your bets on me." Yuki at least gave a reassurance and pointed to his head:

"Everything is going according to plan. I also want to go back to Izu with you, meet that bitch Kouhei, and see the blue sea again."

Yes, the blue sea under the hot summer sun.

A feeling of desire rose in the hearts of the two people. They didn't feel it before, but after going through hell in ****, they realized how charming the scenery was.

Kitahara Iori stretched out his fist, Yuki glanced at it, and collided with his fist.

Must go back.

Chapter 4: A Great Scholar Argues for Me

Go back and leave this nightmare.

This is the thinking of most players of Thorn Rose. They have only been ascending for a year and have not yet been assimilated into the reincarnation game. They do not have a strong sense of identity as players.
