Chapter 814: "Night Watch"'s Plan
Outside the training camp.
Deep in the mountains.
A boy carrying a suitcase, holding a flashlight in one hand, struggled through the jungle. Dense beads of sweat continuously formed on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and falling to the ground.
He looked up at the dark night sky above, confusion flickering in his eyes.
"Strange... how did it suddenly turn dark?"
Lu Baoyou stared at the night sky for a long while, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression beneath that darkness that made him uneasy.
He shook his head, quickly dismissing those chaotic thoughts, and continued climbing toward the mountain's highest point.
This particular peak was the closest to the training camp, as well as the tallest and steepest. But its key feature was that from its summit, one could clearly see everything inside the training camp.
After being turned away at the training camp's entrance, Lu Baoyou hadn't chosen to leave. Instead, he had taken advantage of the crowd's chaos and climbed up this mountain from another direction.
After hours of arduous trekking, he finally reached the peak of the mountain. Standing atop the towering summit, drenched in sweat, Lu Baoyou pulled an old-fashioned telescope from his chest and aimed it toward the training camp.
"Hm?" Lu Baoyou's brow furrowed slightly. "Where did all the instructors guarding the training camp go? No one's stationed on the watchtowers either—what's going on?"
Normally, a place as important as a training camp would have very comprehensive external military defense measures. Since Lu Baoyou had thought of climbing this mountain to secretly observe the training camp, enemies could certainly do the same. Therefore, the watchtowers in this area could nearly perfectly cover all sight lines—there should be no blind spots. Yet precisely at this moment, not a single person was on any of those watchtowers.
The entire training camp looked as if it had been emptied. Only large groups of recruits were running about inside like headless flies.
Lu Baoyou didn't know what was happening inside the training camp, but this situation was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for him.
"You can't stop me. If once doesn't work, I'll try twice. If twice doesn't work, I'll try three times..." Lu Baoyou murmured to himself. "I must get in. I must become a Night Watch, and then... find him."
An unprecedented determination flashed in Lu Baoyou's eyes. He measured the distance between the mountain peak and the training camp with his gaze, and took a deep breath.
His feet forcefully pushed off the ground, and from the mountain's summit, he leapt!
The howling wind roared past his ears. His eyes erupted with crimson light, and a savage, ferocious divine aura burst forth from within him. Meanwhile, behind him, six dark crimson wing silhouettes slowly unfurled from the void...
He flapped his wings, riding the fierce wind, drifting toward the direction of the training camp...
...
Inside the training camp.
In the hollow of the dormitory building, Lin Qiye seemed to sense something and abruptly looked up toward a certain point in the sky.
"This aura..." From beneath Sun Wukong's mask, those golden pupils couldn't help but brighten, blazing like a pair of molten furnaces.
The energy left behind by the Seraph was stirring within him.
As if encountering a nemesis.
"Lucifer?!"
Lin Qiye carefully observed the aura for a moment. In his mind, he quickly recalled the fallen angel Lucifer's projection that had appeared out of thin air two years ago over the misty sea.
Although the aura appearing now was far weaker than what he had sensed back then—so weak it could almost be ignored—there was no doubt that this aura originated from the fallen angel. This kind of resonance deeply embedded in the core of his divine power could never be mistaken.
Clearly, this wasn't Lucifer himself. After all, even if Lucifer had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare invade Great Xia at a time like this.
Was it Lucifer's agent?
Lin Qiye contemplated for just a moment before instantly deducing the reason for this aura's appearance.
There was Lucifer's agent inside this training camp!
Beneath Lin Qiye's mask, his brow furrowed.
Feeling Lin Qiye's aura fluctuations, the recruits who had been frozen in fear at the door finally came to their senses. Terror bloomed in their eyes simultaneously!
The eerie hollow, the monstrous spider, the terrifying man stroking the spider's head, and those corpses hanging all around...
This man could command "mysteries" and had slaughtered all the instructors?!
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
Among the recruits, some of the more timid ones were completely terrified, letting out screams of panic.
Some of them immediately turned and ran, while others stood frozen in place, completely losing their ability to think. Only a small portion of them had bloodlust gleaming in their eyes. They exchanged glances, then grabbed their weapons and charged forward!
"What's there to be afraid of?! With the Town-Suppressing Stele suppressing him, he's at most at the 'Pool' realm. With this many of us, can't we take down one guy?"
"Attack together! Kill this fake [Night Watch]!"
"The instructors all sacrificed themselves. We won't survive long either! Let's give it our all!"
"Damn it, I'll fight you!"
"..."
Shouts erupted from the recruits' mouths. Under extreme fear and pressure, they held nothing back—every ounce of potential was squeezed out. They charged toward that man with no regard for their lives!
With their shouting, most of the recruits who had been frozen in place also came to their senses. After a moment of hesitation,狠色 also appeared in their eyes.
More than half of the recruits present had chosen to fight Lin Qiye with everything they had!
Seeing this, the corners of Lin Qiye's mouth beneath the mask curved into a smile...
Good,
This was exactly the effect he wanted!
"Then let me see what tricks you recruits of this batch have up your sleeves..."
Lin Qiye murmured to himself. Calmly and unhurriedly, he drew [White Slash] from his waist. A patch of verdant green grass spread beneath his feet like a tidal wave...
...
Training camp.
Underground.
"I have to say, [Night Watch] Squad's this move is quite effective!"
In the central monitoring room, many instructors sat with their legs crossed in front of the screens, eating sunflower seeds while watching the hidden surveillance footage with great interest.
"By leveraging the oppressive pressure of that night sky and the tension of the environment, plus the props from the atmosphere team that are convincing enough to fool anyone, they can maximize the potential of these recruits. At the same time, through this extremely high-pressure environment, they can assess each person's ability to handle stress... Brilliant, truly brilliant." Another instructor applauded in praise.
"Yeah, it's well worth us pulling back all the defensive personnel, inside and out, to cooperate with their act."
"Pulling back internal defenses is fine, but what about the watchtowers outside? Won't something go wrong?"
"With [Night Watch] Squad here, what could possibly happen?"
"Fair point..."
"I think the most impressive one is Shen Qingzhu. He's mixed in with the recruits stirring things up and creating an atmosphere of fear. The timing is perfect—these recruits are almost completely taken in by his nonsense."
"What do you know? That's called the self-cultivation of an undercover agent."
"But isn't [Night Watch] Squad afraid of things going wrong?" One instructor spoke with concern. "After all, there are over six hundred recruits here, and they're all in a state of fully stimulated potential. Although they've managed to disperse them... do they really have the confidence not to be killed by these recruits instead?"
