[Effective: Brand of the Rejector]

[The invasion will start in 480 hours]

[Note: Since the rejecters have successfully resisted 4 waves of reincarnation invasions, the reincarnation team has unlocked the "branch mission" option]

[Reincarnators who have not completed branch tasks will not be punished in any form]

[If the reincarnator completes the branch task, the rejecter will be randomly and negatively weakened]

[The details of the branch tasks are not known, please find out for yourself if you refuse.]

...

Just now, the reminder of the fifth wave of reincarnation invasion appeared in front of Kino's eyes.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly this so-called "branch task". This is the first time Chino has seen such a thing, but judging from the description, there is nothing difficult to understand.

To put it in a layman’s terms, Kino is the BOSS in the game, and the reincarnation wants to kill this BOSS.

Before directly fighting the BOSS, the reincarnator can complete another optional branch task to give the BOSS a temporary Debuff.

As the BOSS, Chino can choose to stop the reincarnation, but because he does not know the details of the branch mission, there is no guarantee that he will succeed. From detection to interception, it all depends on whether he has such means.

Of course, Chino can also leave it alone. Although the reincarnators can weaken the rejecters by completing branch tasks, they will have to spend extra time and energy and even bear uncontrollable risks such as attrition. They may not necessarily do the branch tasks.

But if the reincarnator really completes the branch task, Kino is not sure how severe this so-called "negative weakening" will be.

For Kino, he certainly does not want to be negatively weakened, but the problem is that he currently knows nothing about the branch tasks of the reincarnations, unless he can first capture one of the reincarnations alive, use slow processing to interrogate, or through other means

Get information through channels.

But this is obviously not easy...

The Rejectors already have a huge intelligence blind spot, but now they encounter something like this, it is really worse...

"No, no..." Solandel waved her hand in front of Kino, "What's wrong with you? You suddenly fell into a daze."

Kino was having dinner with Solandel at this time. He looked at the rich dark night outside the window and said in a profound tone: "Have you ever thought that you are like a god?"

Solandel tilted her head cutely: "Occasionally... there will be..."

Kino: "If you were a god, would you put people together to play games?"

Solandel shook her head without thinking: "Of course not. The power of the gods should be used for more meaningful things. How can it be used to play games?"

"I think so too." Kino stopped talking about this topic, lowered his head and ate his dinner slowly.

Outside the window, the night is deep and darker than ever...

...

"Rumble--" The thunder light washed away and illuminated the ancient castle standing in the forest. The towering trees were surrounded by night, like unmoving hunters in the shadows.

On the top floor of the castle, the master bedroom is clean and tidy. The clear candlelight dimly illuminates the room. A huge curtain divides the room into two, with figures in front and back.

In front of the curtain, a woman wearing a mask sat on the seat. Her figure was as fiery as a devil, her golden curly hair reflected a faint light under the candlelight, and her black high-heeled boots were smooth and shiny, wrapping along her slender calves.

In the middle of the thigh, the lazy and mature sitting posture shows a strong aura.

The woman holds eight dog leashes in her hands, scattered into the darkness. If you look closely, you will find that the leashes are not holding dogs, but people wearing collars.

One of the men lay next to the woman's legs, acting like a good dog. If he found that his high-heeled boots were stained with dirt from walking, he would loyally lick them off.

Behind the curtain, the candlelight reflected a tall and mysterious figure. This man deliberately lowered his voice so that his voice could not be discerned: "It seems that the aliens are of the same species as us."

The eyes behind the woman's mask were filled with smiles: "We have the same origin, but we are just in different worlds."

Figure: "Do you know me?"

Woman: "Everyone knows your name. It is very easy to find you."

Figure: "What do you want?"

Woman: "I want to play a game."

Figure: "With me?"

Woman: "With Kino van Helsing."

Figure: "Twilight Death."

Woman: "It doesn't sound as good as "The Smiling Devil."

Figure: "The smiling devil?"

Woman: "Another nickname for him."

Figure: "Kino van Helsing is also a visitor from outer space?"

Woman: "Yes."

Figure: "Tell me more details."

The woman is silent.

Figure: "Don't speak?"

Woman: “I can’t say.”

Figure: "Why?"

Woman: "If you go into too much detail, you will die."

Figure: "Who asked you to die?"

Woman: "I will die if I tell you."

Figure: "Why should I believe you? Maybe you are deliberately discrediting the Kino Administrator."

Woman: "Believe it or not, it doesn't affect your participation in this matter."

The woman put a letter into the mouth of the man next to her and patted his head. The latter crawled to the curtain on his hands and knees and squatted there, purring like a puppy.

A gloved hand stretched out from behind the curtain and took the letter away, and then the man climbed back to the woman's side.

The candlelight reflected the shadow on the curtain, and you could see the other party opening the letter and reading it. Then he stretched out his hand, and the fire became brighter. The air was filled with the smell of burnt paper, until the evening breeze blew away the blue smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Figure: "Go back, I don't want to participate in this matter."

Woman: "No, you really want to."

Figure: "As I said, go back."

The woman sat on her seat like a statue and didn't move for a long time, until a smile came from behind the mask: "Give me a number."

Figure: "What?"

Woman: "Give me a number, 0 to 9, give me any number."

The figure was silent for a moment and reported casually: "4."

The woman took out a ten-sided dice from her arms, threw it into the air, caught it and put it on the back of her hand. Her long voice was like a pious whisper: "Can I leave tonight alive? 4."

The woman opened her hand, and the ten-sided die showed 0, cold and silent, as if she wanted to freeze everything around her.

"He said he couldn't." The woman's eyes slowly moved up to look at the figure behind the curtain, and she said with a sly smile, "You set up an ambush outside the castle, right? As soon as I step out, I will be killed immediately.

."

No one spoke a word, and the only sound in the room was the flickering of candlelight in the wind.

"Dingling bells——" The crisp sound of wind chimes broke the silence of the night. It was obviously very light, but suddenly blended into the evening breeze, spreading throughout the castle and spreading to the vast forest outside...

Figure: "I have removed the ambush."

Woman: "It seems you are willing to play this game."

Figure: "What is the origin of that dice?"

Woman: "Rule 1, don't ask about the origin of this die. We can't trace it."

Figure: "What is the function of the dice?"

Woman: "Rule two, don't ask what the dice does. We just have to trust Him."

Figure: "The dice are only useful in your hand?"

Woman: "Rule 3, don't ask if the dice is only useful in my hand. Otherwise he will open his claws."

Figure: "Is there anything I can ask?"

Woman: "Mortals are forbidden to speak of Him."

The figure fell into a long silence, and finally stood up slowly, blocking the candlelight and forming a giant shadow on the curtain: "You can go, there is no ambush outside."

The woman threw the dice into the air again, caught it, put it on the back of her hand, and repeated the question: "Can I leave tonight alive? 4."

Opening the palm, the 4 on the dice shone brightly in the firelight, making it warm and dazzling.
