Chapter 820: Qianmo Is Playing Tactical Games

Ding Chongfeng stood on the stage, took a deep breath, and continued, "Let me first describe what our team encountered. When we dispersed from the drill ground, we went straight to the special training base, where we encountered a strange man carrying a black coffin on his back—the so-called member of the 'Night Watch' squad we saw earlier on the drill ground.

When we spotted him, he was... he was..."

Ding Chongfeng seemed to recall some terrifying scene, and shuddered.

"He was... dissecting the instructor's corpse."

On the stage below, everyone's expression changed.

When Fang Mo heard the description "man carrying a black coffin," he instinctively recalled that strange man he had sensed from afar in the park that day, and his brow furrowed.

"He wore a blood-soaked deep crimson cloak, standing in front of the dissection table. Vines grew狰狞ly from the muscles on his back, each vine wrapped around a small blade, crazed as they cut through the corpse. Blood and flesh littered the ground, yet he still had a smile on his lips! When we saw him, he turned around at the same time. The black coffin on his back opened automatically, revealing a pale female corpse frozen in ice... staring straight at us."

Hearing this description, all the new soldiers in the grand auditorium felt their scalps go numb, their faces pale with fear!

"I don't know what you think, but I can be certain—that's definitely not what a Night Watch member should look like. He's definitely not a good person!" Ding Chongfeng suppressed the fear in his heart and continued, "I believe what Expert Shen said. He was switched out and sneaked into the training camp—a member of the Church of the Ancient Gods."

On the stage below, looking at the ashen-faced, terrified new soldiers who seemed to have suffered some kind of shock, Li Zhenzhen tilted her head, question marks floating above it.

What are you people talking about?

While I agree he doesn't seem like a good person, he really is a member of the [Night Watch] squad!

Li Zhenzhen clearly remembered that just two days ago, they had sat together with the people from Squad 006, drinking and eating happily.

How did he become a member of the Church of the Ancient Gods in your telling?

What on earth happened to you people?!

Li Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, about to say something, when a ghost girl in a white dress transformed into a white shadow, suddenly flying out from the ground beneath her feet and silently merging into her body.

Since they had entered the auditorium last and were seated at the outermost seats, everyone was now absorbed in fear, and no one noticed this.

Li Zhenzhen's body trembled, then quickly calmed.

A faint smile curved her lips...

At the same time, among the other new soldiers seated, someone else stood up.

"I agree! They're definitely not good people." That person said, still somewhat traumatized. "We found a demon on the small path behind the cafeteria,,浑身冒黑色火焰, brandishing a blade with a sinister grin. You didn't hear that laugh... it was especially chilling!"

"And there was that perverted man in the dormitory building who raised spider monsters. The spider was, that big! Obviously it had eaten quite a few people! He already killed more than a dozen instructors, and hung our companions on the spider web. The scene was truly bloody."

"..."

Everyone spoke one after another, and in just a moment, a ruthlessly evil demon organization had formed in everyone's impression, as if they would rush into the auditorium at any moment, laughing sinisterly as they tore everyone to pieces.

The new soldiers who hadn't seen Lin Qiye and the others at all were stunned.

So the current situation was already this serious?!

Fang Mo was also stunned.

Wait, no. When the [Night Watch] squad appeared just now, he really did sense that extremely familiar aura. That man wearing the Sun Wukong mask back then should have been Lin Qiye...

Could it be that only some members of the [Night Watch] squad had been replaced by enemies, and after they dispersed, they teamed up to kill Lin Qiye?

The moment this thought emerged in his mind, Fang Mo shuddered, his hands unconsciously tightening.

Of course, he had no way of knowing that the "perverted man raising spider monsters" that others spoke of was actually Lin Qiye himself.

"Everyone, please calm down." On stage, Ding Chongfeng's expression was extremely grave. "I roughly understand the situations you all encountered. Although I already have some guesses in mind, I still don't know enough about certain intelligence...

Fortunately, we have an erudite expert among us."

Ding Chongfeng turned his gaze to the first row of seats and respectfully said, "Brother Shen, could you come up and give us all a brief analysis?!"

Everyone looked in the direction he was gazing, and a young man stood up from his seat, his expression equally grave. "Alright, I'll give a brief analysis then."

Shen Qingzhu walked onto the stage, his brow slightly furrowed, as if in hesitation, or perhaps contemplation.

At this moment, the originally somewhat noisy auditorium immediately fell silent. All the new soldiers gazed expectantly at Shen Qingzhu, waiting for his analysis.

"Originally I was still somewhat uncertain, but after hearing your descriptions, I can basically be certain—the [Night Watch] squad has been replaced by the Church of the Ancient Gods." Shen Qingzhu spoke with the utmost seriousness. "Your descriptions basically match what I know about the Church of the Ancient Gods' methods.

They are symbols of evil and darkness. Wherever they go, living beings are destroyed!

Generally speaking, they don't act easily, but once they do, earth-shattering major events are certain to occur.

Perhaps you know about the Great Cangnan Massacre十几 years ago? Their hand was behind that incident too..."

When the new soldiers heard the words "Great Cangnan Massacre," most wore blank expressions, while only a few showed恍然大悟 expressions and began discussing among themselves.

Among them, three members of the Church of the Ancient Gods exchanged glances, joy appearing on their faces.

"So Elder Qianmo infiltrated disguised as the [Night Watch] squad!" the young new soldier said excitedly. "Truly worthy of Elder Qianmo, actually coming up with such a method!"

"Indeed, truly worthy of Elder Qianmo."

"I understand the reasoning... but isn't Elder Qianmo just one person? From their words, it sounds like there are three people from the Church of the Ancient Gods?"

"Hehe, that's your愚笨之处." The young new soldier grinned. "Elder Qianmo has always been incredibly mysterious. How would you know if he has the ability to create分身? Besides, even if he's alone, as long as he changes position and appearance in a short time, it can create the illusion of three different invaders.

This is Elder Qianmo playing tactical games!"

The other two came to sudden realization.

"So it really is the Church of the Ancient Gods..." Ding Chongfeng pondered. "Brother Shen, then what do you think their purpose is?"

"Their purpose is actually very simple." Shen Qingzhu spoke unhurriedly. "The Church of the Ancient Gods represents the will of foreign evil gods. Tell me, who is Great Xia's greatest enemy right now?"

The new soldiers looked at each other, and someone answered, "Foreign gods!"
