Chapter 835 Battlefield

　　Indoor training ground.

　　Basically all of the new recruits had awakened from their lethargy, and they stood together in bewilderment, discussing in a chaotic manner.

　　”What the hell is going on here? How come the instructors are all still here? Didn’t they all sacrifice themselves?”

　　”Yeah! We all saw their bodies with our own eyes!”

　　”Did any of you see that Steel Sky Dome battle? So handsome! So shocking!”

　　”I saw it, that fake [Night Curtain] squad leader, he’s really too strong, so humans can even reach that level?”

　　”No way? You don’t still think that the captain of that [Night Curtain] squad is a fake, do you?”

　　”What do you mean?”

　　”It’s obviously a trial for us from the instructors! Pretend that the intensive training camp is occupied by the people of the Ancient God Church, then create a high-pressure and terrifying atmosphere to force us to use our full strength ……”

　　”It’s all fake? But I think Brother Ding and Brother Shen’s analysis is right, it’s very natural and doesn’t seem fake at all.”

　　”Wait, did any of you see Brother Shen?”

　　”……”

　　In the crowd, Ding Chongfeng was surrounded by a group of puzzled recruits, and no matter how much they pressed him, he just said nothing with an ugly face.

　　His gaze was constantly fixed on the platform on the second floor, seemingly searching for something.

　　”Seven Nights is back.” Cao Yuan, who was leaning on the railing, turned his head towards Yuan Gang when he saw Lin Qiye return from outside holding the empty hilt of the [Zhanbai] blade.

　　”Well, next, I’ll be troubling you guys.” Yuan Gang looked at the noisy recruits below and said.

　　Lin Qiye smiled, his gaze sweeping over the other [Night Curtain] squad members, “Let’s go …… and say a formal 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 quieted down at the same time, and the training ground instantly fell into a dead silence.

　　On their faces, there was fear, disbelief, excitement, and calmness……. At this moment, most of them had already guessed what was going on, but they were still a little scared in the face of these masks.

　　After all, Lin Qiye and the others’ acting skills were too good, and their evil and terrifying images had been deeply engraved in the recruits’ minds.

　　Seeing those masks, the recruits subconsciously associated them with images of them splitting bodies, dissecting them, and raising evil “mysteries”.

　　Lin Qiye looked at the recruits at his feet with different expressions, slowly lowered his head, took off that Sun Wukong’s mask, and used his original appearance to faintly smile at the many recruits under the stage.

　　”Re-introducing myself, I’m the captain of the [Night Curtain] squad, Lin Qiye, as well as the invited instructor for this recruit intensive training.”

　　Seeing Lin Qiye’s real face, the recruits’ mouths opened wide in shock!

　　They never expected that underneath that mask was such a young and handsome face …… He looked like he was only three or four years older than them?

　　So young to be the captain of a special squad?

　　After Lin Qiye, Baili Fatty, Cao Yuan, An Qingyu, Jia Lan, Jiang Er, and Shen Qingzhu also took off their masks in turn.

　　”Crap! Brother Shen!”

　　”Isn’t that Brother Shen?!!!”

　　”How did Brother Shen …… he’s an undercover agent?”

　　”This, this is completely unaware!”

　　”Then again, the one who brought up the invasion of the Ancient God Church at the very beginning, and the one who incited us to find the Ancient God Church for a showdown afterward, were both Brother Shen!”

　　”How come everyone in the [Night Curtain] squad is so young?”

　　”Yeah, it feels like they’re just a little bit older than us.”

　　”……”

　　After the people of the [Night Curtain] squad took off their masks, the fear on the faces of the new recruits also dissipated, after all, those young faces that looked about the same age as them were still very affable.

　　”You guys did well in this mapping test.” Lin Qiye spoke indifferently, “But in the end, until the end of time, none of you were able to break any of the masks, so I think you guys know very well what that means ……”

　　The recruits were quiet once again.

　　The vast majority of them had already almost forgotten about this.

　　After all, under a life and death crisis, who would even think about shattering those masks in exchange for a chance to directly end their career? One had to realize that they were not even saving their lives.

　　”That’s not fair!” Among the new recruits, someone said unhappily, “You sent people to mix in with the new recruits, misdirecting our thinking and spreading panic, and we’re not even serious about breaking the masks ……”

　　”Is that so?” Lin Qiye calmly looked at the recruit who spoke, “You mean that an enemy that you couldn’t win by putting your lives on the line can be won if you so-called ‘get serious’ about it?”

　　That recruit was stunned for a moment, but still retorted stiffly, “No matter what, you guys did use such insidious means as undercover agents …… This is cheating!”

　　”Cheating?” Lin Qiye sneered twice, “On a real battlefield, as long as you can gain victory, who cares what means you use? Undercover and infiltration are the most common techniques of surprise attacks, do you think the enemy will make an appointment with you in advance, promising not to plant undercover agents on your side?

　　On the battlefield, if you are as unguarded as this time, and are completely led by the nose, I’m afraid you won’t even know how you died.”

　　”But this is not a battlefield, this is an intensive training camp! We’re also still just new recruits ……”

　　Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly as a faint pressure radiated out.

　　”This isn’t a battlefield?”

　　He glanced back at An Qingyu, who immediately understood and threw the heads of the three Hei Liu people down from the second floor, grunting as they rolled in front of all the new recruits.

　　The sudden appearance of the three heads startled the many recruits.

　　”From the moment you stepped into the intensive training camp, you …… are already in a battlefield.” Lin Qiye pointed at the three heads and slowly spoke, “Do you guys think that what Instructor Shen said is all just fiction?

　　Re!

　　Among you, there are indeed three genuine members of the Ancient God Church mixed in, and their purpose is to kill all of you, leading to a break in the number of Nightwatchmen, and thus inflicting a heavy blow to Great Xia!

　　I think some of you, who have already witnessed my battle with them, know very well in their own hearts whether it was true or not.”

　　Hearing these words, the recruits once again became noisy as they chattered and said something to each other, with panic and fear surfacing on the faces of all of them.

　　The recruit who had been in a tit-for-tat with Lin Qiye’s face also paled and silently lowered his head, no longer speaking.

　　Lin Qiye took in everyone’s reactions and calmly continued:

　　”Five years ago, I was standing in this position just like you all, and the instructor at the time told us that stepping through this door doesn’t mean that you’ve become Vigilantes because you haven’t yet gone and proved that you have the qualifications to become Vigilantes ……

　　But now, the situation is different.

　　Here, I want to tell you, from the moment you step into this door …… you, you are the Night’s Watch.

　　You can’t quit, you can’t turn back, maybe in the eyes of the other Night’s Watchmen, you are new recruits, rookies, but from the moment the war really comes, you are the Night’s Watchmen!

　　And right now, the reason why you are gathered here is that we hope that when that moment comes, you will have the skills and strength to survive the brutal war!

　　This, our special guest instructors, is what this intensive training camp, exists for.”
