Indoor training ground.
Almost all the recruits had woken up from their coma. They stood together in a daze and started a noisy discussion.
"What is going on? Why are all the instructors still here? Didn't they all die?"
"Yes! We all saw their bodies with our own eyes!"
"Did any of you see the battle in Iron Sky? It was so cool! So shocking!"
"I saw it. The captain of the fake Nightfall team is really too strong. Can humans reach that level?"
"No way? You don't still think that the captain of the Nightfall team is fake?"
"What's the meaning?"
"This is obviously a test given to us by the instructors! They pretended that the training camp was occupied by people from the Ancient God Church, and then created a high-pressure and terrifying atmosphere, forcing us to use our full strength..."
"All fake? But I think Brother Ding and Brother Shen's analysis is correct. It's very natural and doesn't seem fake at all."
"Wait, has anyone seen Brother Shen?"
“…”
In the crowd, Ding Chongfeng was surrounded by a group of puzzled recruits. No matter how they asked him questions, he just had a grim expression and said nothing.
His eyes were always fixed on the platform on the second floor, as if he was looking for something.
"Qiye is back." Cao Yuan, who was leaning on the railing, saw Lin Qiye coming back from outside holding the empty handle of the [Zhanbai] sword, and turned to look at Yuan Gang.
"Well, next, I'll trouble you." Yuan Gang glanced at
Lin Qiye smiled and glanced at the other members of the Nightfall team, "Let's go... formally greet our new recruits."
…
On the second floor of the indoor training ground, seven crimson figures slowly walked out.
Seeing those familiar masks, the noisy recruits quieted down at the same time, and the training ground fell into dead silence in an instant.
On their faces, there was fear, confusion, excitement, and calmness... At this moment, most of them had already guessed the whole story, but facing these masks, they were still a little scared.
After all, Lin Qiye and others’ acting skills were so good that their evil and terrifying images were already deeply engraved in the minds of the recruits.
When the recruits saw those masks, they subconsciously thought of them dismembering bodies, dissecting bodies, and herding evil "mysteries".
Lin Qiye looked at the recruits with different expressions under his feet, slowly lowered his head, took off the Monkey King mask, and smiled at the many recruits under the stage with his original face.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am the captain of the Nightfall team, Lin Qiye, and I am also the specially invited instructor for this recruit training."
When the recruits saw Lin Qiye’s true appearance, their mouths opened in shock!
They never imagined that under the mask, there was such a young and handsome face... He looked only three or four years older than them?
At such a young age, he became the captain of a special team?
After Lin Qiye, Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, An Qingyu, Jia Lan, Jiang Er, and Shen Qingzhu also took off their masks one after another.
"Fuck! Brother Shen!"
"Isn't that Brother Shen?!"
"Brother Shen, how come...he is an undercover agent?"
"I didn't realize this at all!"
"By the way, it was Brother Shen who first proposed the invasion of the Ancient God Church and later instigated us to confront the Ancient God Church!"
"Why are all the members of the Nightfall team so young?"
"Yeah, it feels just a little bit bigger than us."
“…”
[Nightfall] The team members all looked young and about the same age as them, and they were quite friendly.
“You performed well in this assessment.” Lin Qiye said calmly, “But in the end, none of you could break any of the masks until the time was up. I think you know what this means…”
The recruits fell silent again.
Most of them have almost forgotten about it.
After all, in a life-or-death crisis, who would want to break those masks in exchange for a chance to graduate directly? You know, they are not even guaranteed their lives.
"This is unfair!" Someone among the recruits said unhappily, "You sent people to infiltrate the recruits, misleading our thinking and spreading panic. We didn't even seriously try to break the masks..."
"Really?" Lin Qiye looked at the new recruit calmly. "You mean, you can defeat the enemy you can't defeat even if you risk your life, as long as you get serious?"
The recruit was stunned for a moment, but still stubbornly retorted, "Anyway, you did use the insidious method of undercover... This is cheating!"
"Cheating?" Lin Qiye sneered twice. "On a real battlefield, as long as you can win, who cares what means you use? Undercover and infiltration are the most common surprise attack methods. Do you think the enemy will make three rules with you in advance and promise not to place undercover agents around you?
If you are like this time, without any vigilance on the battlefield and are completely led by the nose, you may not even know how you died."
"But this is not a battlefield, this is a training camp! We are still just new recruits..."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint sense of pressure emanated from him.
"Isn't this a battlefield?"
He turned around and looked at An Qingyu, who immediately understood and threw the heads of Ming Liu and the other two from the second floor, which rolled in front of all the recruits.
The sudden appearance of three heads scared many recruits.
"From the moment you stepped into the training camp, you... have already been on the battlefield." Lin Qiye pointed at the three heads and spoke slowly, "Do you think that what Instructor Shen said was just fiction?
wrong!
There are indeed three genuine members of the Church of the Ancient God mixed in among you. Their goal is to kill you all, causing a gap in the number of Night Watchmen, thus causing heavy damage to Daxia!
I think some of you have witnessed my fight with them, and they know clearly whether it is true or not. "
Hearing these words, the recruits became noisy again. They chattered something to each other, and panic and fear appeared on everyone's face.
The new recruit who had been confronting Lin Qiye turned pale, lowered his head silently and stopped talking.
Lin Qiye took in everyone's reactions and continued calmly:
"Five years ago, I was standing in this position just like you. The instructor at that time told us that stepping through this door does not mean that you will become a Night Watchman, because you have not yet proved that you are qualified to become a Night Watchman...
But now, the situation is different.
Here, I want to tell you, from the moment you step through this door... you are the night watchmen.
You cannot quit and you cannot turn back. Maybe in the eyes of other Night's Watchmen, you are new recruits and rookies, but from the moment the war really comes, you are the Night's Watchmen!
And now, the reason why you are gathered here is that we hope that when that moment comes, you will have the ability and strength to survive in the cruel war!
This is the meaning of our specially invited instructors and this training camp."
