Basically all the recruits had woken up from their drowsiness. They stood together in confusion and started discussing in a noisy manner.
"What exactly is going on? Why are the instructors still here? Didn't they all sacrifice themselves?"
"Yes! We all saw their bodies with our own eyes!"
"Have any of you seen that battle in the steel sky? It's so handsome! So shocking!"
"I saw it. The captain of the fake [Night Veil] team is really too strong. Could it be that human beings can actually reach that level?"
"No way? You don't think that the captain of the [Night Curtain] team is fake, do you?"
"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 Church of Ancient God, and then created a high-pressure and terrifying atmosphere, forcing us to use all our strength..."
"Are they all fake? But I think Brother Ding and Brother Shen's analysis is right. It's very natural and doesn't look like a fake at all."
"Wait a minute, have any of you seen Brother Shen?"
"..."
In the crowd, Ding Chongfeng was surrounded by a group of doubtful recruits. No matter how they asked, he just said nothing with an ugly face.
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 [Zhanbai] knife handle, and turned to look at Yuan Gang.
"Well, I'll bother you next." Yuan Gang glanced at the noisy recruits below and said.
Lin Qiye smiled and glanced at the other members of the [Night] team, "Let's go... formally say hello to 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 fell silent at the same time, and the training ground fell into dead silence.
Their faces showed fear, confusion, excitement, and calm... At this moment, most of them had guessed what was going on, but they were still a little scared when faced with these masks.
After all, the acting skills of Lin Qiye and others were so good, their evil and terrifying images have been deeply engraved in the minds of the recruits.
Seeing those masks, the recruits subconsciously thought of the "mysterious" scenes of them dismembering corpses, dissecting, and tending evil.
Lin Qiye looked at the recruits with different expressions at his feet, slowly lowered his head, took off the Sun Wukong mask, and smiled at the many recruits in the audience with his original appearance.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am Lin Qiye, the captain of the [Night Curtain] team, and I am also the special instructor for this recruit training."
Seeing Lin Qiye's true appearance, the recruits opened their mouths in shock!
They never expected that under that mask, there was such a young and handsome face... He looked like he was only three or four years older than them?
At such a young age, he became the captain of the 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, why... is he an undercover agent?"
"This, this is completely unaware!"
"Speaking of which, the one who proposed the invasion of the Ancient God Church in the first place, and the one who later incited us to go to the Ancient God Church for a decisive battle, was Brother Shen!"
"Why are the members of the [Night Curtain] team so young?"
"Yeah, it feels a little older than us."
"..."
[Night] After everyone in the team took off their masks, the fear on the faces of the recruits also disappeared. After all, those young faces who looked about the same age as them were still very approachable.
"You performed well in this thorough assessment." Lin Qiye said calmly, "But in the end, until the end of time, none of you could break any mask. I think you know what this means..."
The recruits became quiet again.
Most of them have almost forgotten this.
After all, in a life-and-death crisis, who would think of breaking those masks in exchange for a chance to graduate directly? You must know that their lives are not guaranteed.
"This is unfair!" someone among the recruits said displeasedly, "You sent people to sneak into the recruits, mislead our thinking direction, and spread panic. We are not serious about breaking our masks..."
"Really?" Lin Qiye looked calmly at the new recruit who spoke, "You mean, you can defeat the enemy that you can't even risk your life by being so-called 'serious'?"
The recruit was stunned for a moment and then retorted bravely, "In any case, you did use undercover tactics... This is cheating!"
"Cheating?" Lin Qiye sneered twice, "On the real battlefield, as long as you can win, who cares what method you use? Undercover and infiltration are the most common surprise attack techniques. Do you think the enemy will make an agreement with you three chapters in advance?
Do you promise not to place undercover agents next to you?
On the battlefield, if you were as unwary as you were this time and were completely led by others, you might not even know how you died."
"But this is not a battlefield, this is a training camp! We are just new recruits..."
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint pressure radiated out.
"Isn't this a battlefield?"
He turned back and glanced at An Qingyu, who immediately understood and threw the heads of Ming Liu and the others from the second floor, rolling in front of all the new recruits.
The sudden appearance of three heads startled many recruits.
"From the moment you step into the training camp, you... are already on the battlefield." Lin Qiye pointed at the three heads and slowly said, "Do you think what Instructor Shen said is just fiction?
?
wrong!
There are indeed three genuine members of the Church of Ancient God among you. Their purpose is to kill you all, causing a gap in the number of Night Watchmen and causing heavy damage to Daxia!
I think some of you have witnessed my battle with them, and they know very well whether it is true or false."
Hearing these words, the recruits became noisy again. They were chattering to each other, and panic and fear appeared on everyone's faces.
The recruit who had been tit for tat with 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 in the same position as you. The instructor at the time told us that stepping into this door does not mean that you will become a night watchman, because you have not proven that you have become a night watchman.
The qualifications of a night watchman...
But now, the situation is different.
Here, I want to tell you that from the moment you step into this door... you are the night watchman.
You cannot quit or look back. Perhaps in the eyes of other Night Watchmen, you are new recruits and rookies, but from the moment the war really comes, you are the Night Watchmen!
And now, the reason why you are gathered here is because we hope that when that moment comes, you will have the ability and strength to survive in the cruel war!
This is the purpose of our specially invited instructors and the existence of this training camp."
