That's strange then. If you won't kill me, doesn't that mean the information on the parchment is wrong?

What exactly went wrong?

Seeing that Fang Yue wasn't speaking, but seemed to be thinking about something.

Lin Ling frowned, ready to leave, as if this topic made him uncomfortable.

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. I'm tired."

"Wait a moment!"

For some reason, Fang Yue had a feeling.

A feeling that the future given by the parchment was definitely not so simple.

There must be something he was overlooking.

Fang Yue pondered, and asked, "Lin Ling, under what circumstances would you kill me, if I said I was going to marry Hua Wu Ye as my wife?"

Lin Ling: ???

He looked impatient and said, "Under no circumstances, okay!"

"Yes!"

"I don't like you, I hate you, but that's all it is. As long as you're still a member of the guard team for one day, and still contributing to the village, I would never kill you. Public is public, private is private, how many times do I have to say it!"

Indeed, from what Fang Yue knew, Lin Ling's personality wouldn't allow him to kill me!

So what exactly is it…

That's right! The next day during the day… the parchment said the next day during the day!

Fang Yue frowned and said in a deep voice, "Then let's assume the extreme, Lin Ling. What extreme situation would cause you to kill me the day after you wake up?"

As expected, Lin Ling was definitely going back to sleep now.

This explains why Lin Ling came to kill me at my doorstep the next morning.

Because that's when he woke up, he must have found out about something that would make him attack me.

Lin Ling saw that Fang Yue really seemed to be seriously discussing this issue, and couldn't help but frown.

"What exactly do you mean?"

"Just tell me, this is related to… what Lord Han said!"

Lord Han… a mole?!

Lin Ling immediately understood. He thought about it carefully, and pondered, "There are probably still many. My personal reasons wouldn't cause me to attack you or anything."

"But if you did something outrageous, and I found out the next day, I would definitely go and kill you."

Fang Yue pressed, "For example?"

"Hmm… you betrayed the village? You're a mole?"

"…Something more reliable."

Lin Ling scratched his neck. "Then it's… you hurt Lord Han? Or you stole my big credit on the night shift? No, no, no, the former you can't do, and the latter isn't enough to motivate me to kill you, at most I'd cripple your limbs."

Hey, hey, hey… don't just say such terrifying things! I'm still right here.

Fang Yue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, only to see Lin Ling still frowning in thought. Finally, he suddenly looked up and stared at Fang Yue coldly.

"That's it. If you 'bully' Hua Wu Ye, or kill Hua Wu Ye, I will definitely go and kill you the next day. But the premise is that I have to be sure that you did it!"

"Or you destroy the core that's still being repaired, or… you really hurt or kill Lord Han, or you let a monster into the village… these few possibilities are enough for me to attack you! And without hesitation!"

…Wait, weren't you just saying you wouldn't attack me? How did the possibilities suddenly become so many…

Things seem to have become more complicated.

Fang Yue scratched his not-so-smart head and said, "You should go back to sleep."

Lin Ling was stunned, probably not expecting that the possibility he had painstakingly come up with would be met with such a sentence from Fang Yue.

"…Crazy!"

After cursing, he walked out grumbling.

"By the way, I want to get someone into the guard team…"

"Get lost! Go find a way yourself!"

If I have to find a way myself, then I'll find a way myself. Why so fierce…

After Lin Ling left, Fang Yue was still thinking about Lin Ling's words.

The so-called bullying Hua Wu Ye, Fang Yue naturally knew what it meant, wasn't it just that kind of indescribable thing?

The problem is he couldn't possibly do such a thing. As for killing Hua Wu Ye? He's not sick, why would he kill Hua Wu Ye for no reason?

Unless… someone framed him?

Then there's destroying the core… that was something Lord Han was focused on, impossible to destroy instantly. Lord Han would sense it and come over and kill him in one strike.

As for attacking Lord Han, that's no different from seeking death.

Letting a monster into the village… I'd be running away before I could even think about letting a monster into the village.

Why does it feel like all the answers are wrong? Is this parchment reliable or not?

Fang Yue took out the parchment and called out twice, but the parchment didn't respond at all.

…Alright, you money-grubber!

When I get Black Embers, I'll see how I make you drool!

Fang Yue really couldn't bear to part with the silver stones, otherwise he could make the parchment speak now.

After carefully recalling these possibilities, Fang Yue realized that the most likely thing was that something would go wrong with Hua Wu Ye, and then he would be framed and killed by the furious Lin Ling.

Wait!

Why don't I think from another perspective? Maybe… the problem isn't on my side, but on Hua Wu Ye's side!

Could it be… that Hua Wu Ye is the mole?

That's not right. Hua Wu Ye tried so hard for the village that night, how could she be a mole? Could it be that it was all acting at the time?

Whatever, whatever, let Lin Ling worry about the mole stuff, I'm not cut out for that.

He completed the procedures himself and received the basic 2 days of lifespan reward for the vice-captain on duty during the day today, plus the 1 day of lifespan reward for killing the [Vomit Finger Ghoul].

Fang Yue opened his stats.

"Name: Ye Se Li Ming."

"Realm: Acquired Third-Rate."

"State: Normal."

"Health: 200/200."

"Inner Force: 35/35."

"Control: 46.6 [Base: 26.6] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Defense: 46.3 [Base: 26.3] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Talent: Breath of the Night [Human Grade Top Tier]."

"Skills: Analytical Eyes [Human Grade Low Tier], Starlight Saber Art Level 1 [Acquired Third-Rate], Starlight Mind Method Level 1 [Acquired Third-Rate]."

"Lifespan: 1 month 16 days."

Damn it! Why don't killing monsters in reality give me anything or increase my stats?

Also, saving people in reality for 3 seconds burned 3 days of lifespan.

Normal time passed + using Starlight Saber Art on seven people with one slash earlier burned 1 day of lifespan.

Plus the 3 days given as a game reward, it's still a loss overall.

Lifespan, lifespan, so short!

When will the official captain position be given? The reward for that is higher. Normal duty gives 3 days, and the tasks the captain can borrow give even more.

Although Fang Yue can take on those captain tasks now, the basic reward is still lower.

Another thing is the stats, it feels like they haven't increased in a long time. I really want to kill a monster to increase my stats…

Enough talk, time to patrol!

When the second batch of players enters the game, there will definitely be monsters for them to kill, right? Definitely, definitely, definitely.

Fang Yue completely ignored the fact that all the players who had just entered the village wouldn't be a match for even a low-level monster together, and only thought about patrolling quickly to find monsters to kill.

After all, he's the Night War God! He can't rely on others during the day.

Thinking of this, Fang Yue prepared to take his saber and go out, but ran into Mu Zi, who had just come out of the library.
