Chapter 8 Interlude between life and death

 [Dear Sir Herron Campbell:

The Borgia wine you ordered has been replaced by poisoned wine, and the target of the poisoning is the Grand Duke of Bavaria.

If you believe my reminder, please come to the Cairns Hotel Wine Cellar in person.

—Nightwatchman Rhine】

That's right.

Although Su Wen has never heard of the Night Watch organization, he can get relevant clues through the [Time Travel] game.

On the supernatural side, the Night Watch is a lawful organization that emerged in response to disasters.

Moreover, Campbell himself has awakened extraordinary qualities.

So.

After learning about the ‘zero sum game’ plan.

For Su Wen, who has a flexible moral bottom line, the best choice is to find another organization to fight with those anti-social guys.

As long as it has nothing to do with me.

He is sitting in front of the computer.

Look at the plot prompts given by the game:

[Your reminder makes Mr. Heron Campbell more cautious while doubting]

[He decided to come to see you, but at the same time he also secretly called in the security forces he hired from the Duchy of Suargyle]

[The next move will be the key to whether you can enter the Overlimit Act as a member of the Lawful camp]

【Your choice】

[1. Enthusiastically come forward to discuss classical poetry with this young nobleman, build a relationship, and establish a personal relationship]

[2. Put yourself in his shoes and explain the current situation and the subsequent impact of the over-limit bill]

[3. Pretend to be mysterious and leave a few sentences of unknown meaning to prepare for joining Gotham City to play the Riddler]

This is option three.

Su Wen was truly speechless.

Every time he plays a story-based game, the most annoying thing is that some mysterious old man-like characters leave him some unclear hints.

Then before he could ask a question, the old man leaned over and felt completely cold.

The result was not discovered until I finished the game.

Those incomprehensible words are just a incomplete version of the background introduction and have nothing to do with the game content.

Can the Riddler get out of Gotham?

Su Wen adopted an attitude of serious research and decided to try option 1 first.

[After Mr. Herron Campbell came to the wine cellar]

[You had a serious discussion with him about ‘Percy Shelley’, a talented lyric poet in the history of British literature]

[Also affectionately recited excerpts from "To Wordsworth":

Poet who eulogized nature, you once shed tears and saw things pass, and you will never return:]

[Ten minutes later, you were having a great conversation.]

[A waiter at the Cairns Hotel came to the hotel because he could not find the missing Master Samuel.]

[As the most obvious stranger, you were shot dead on the spot.]

"Am I going to be shot to death right now?"

Su Wen watched the game automatically deduce the plot-killing CG caused by this garbage function.

I finally understand why I was selected as the lead player.

AL level is too low.

Also.

Brother Heron, you and I have a very happy conversation, can't you please save me for Shelley's sake?

What a plastic friendship.

Too plastic.

He was speechless and decided to follow the original plan 2.

[After Mr. Herron Campbell came to the wine cellar]

[You told him the information you know]

[And your identity as a night watchman is not suspected]

"Mr. Rhine, do you mean that someone wants to use the precious wine I sent to poison the Grand Duke of Bavaria?"

"That's right, you don't have to believe what I say."

Rhine is Su Wen’s self-proclaimed name.

"But this 'fake Master Samuel' who fell on the ground is probably the clearest proof."

Heron was doubtful.

Then, the last trace of doubt he had was eliminated by the test results of the bottle of wine.

"There is indeed something wrong with this bottle of wine. Trace amounts of mutant lily of the valley venom were detected in it, which is highly toxic."

"We must tell Duke Reinhard quickly."

After Su Wen said the situation appeared, he realized that this was a crisis, but it was also an opportunity.

And Su Wen.

Just waiting for him to say this.

As a fake night watchman.

He also needs a stronger prover.

A ducal heir.

Herron Campbell needs clarification due to his involvement in the assassination.

[Because you have the same interests, he doesn’t care and has no time to check whether you are a real night watchman]

[You successfully persuaded the noble Heron Campbell (heir to the duchy)]

[The situation is urgent, please rush to the main venue of the banquet hall immediately to protect ‘Joseph Reinhardt’ and ‘Sofia Reinhardt’]

Right now.

An ordinary killer who was originally hiding in the banquet hall due to [Cognitive Modification] was found strange by the security guards at the venue after the death of the spiritual transcendent in the 'Zero Sum Game'.

"The pretender is dead, please carry out assassination work in time."

Hear the beep in the headset.

The remaining killers hidden in the venue also understood that this was their last chance.

They emerged from a hidden corner. The one who had been exposed first shot at the crystal chandelier lighting the banquet hall, and then the others prepared to assassinate Duke Reinhard in the chaos.

This assassination team is very professional.

So Su Wen also died more than ten times in a row.

【Sixteenth file reading】

[Reading position: ten seconds before entering the banquet hall]

When completing the step of [Protect Duke Reinhardt], he can only try to pass the level by continuously recording the location where the enemy last appeared.

The moment the huge glass chandelier fell.

Su Wen extremely calmly relied on the bunker to carry out the clear work according to the planned process.

The first is the killer disguised as a translator near the corner of table three.

[Identification: Darknet killer, hired by the high bounty of ‘zero sum game’]

【Bang】!

Kill with one shot.

Secondly, a killer disguised as a cleaning lady pretended to take refuge and rushed towards the safe escape passage.

Su Wen rolled and kicked the stool that was closer. In the perfect physical translation line, the stool hit the killer, making him unbalanced. Then, a silenced Glock bullet hit him accurately between the eyebrows.
p>

Finally, two assassins dressed in guard uniforms prepared to attack Duke Reinhard at close range.

He rushed forward.

He used his body [thicker than twice the blood volume of a normal person] to block the fatal dagger stabbing of this veteran Duke.

Then he fired two shots in a row and finished the game even though he was injured.

Just in the banquet hall, he killed four of the deadliest killers.

As the heir to the duchy, Heron is not a coward.

The extraordinary characteristic (leader) gives him powerful battlefield interpretation and command abilities.

With just a silver table knife he picked up, Heron Campbell also killed a killer who had blended into the crowd at close range.

Although the third transcendent who belongs to the 'zero-sum game' has not been found.

Su Wen looked at the hereditary Duke of Loba of Northern Europe who was so close, his dress stained with blood but still majestic and calm.

I understand that this game is mostly completed.

This chapter has been completed!
