Tula City.
Koyu stood outside the city, gazing at it.
His eyes in the dark revealed no disguise of his hatred for this city.
The sound of whispers echoed in his ears.
"You need power, the siblings who died miserably are wailing, co, release..."
Koyu took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and forcibly suppressed his surging anger and desire for revenge.
The whispers in his ears gradually weakened and faded into nothingness.
"Did you hear it again?" a hoarse voice from the darkness beside him asked.
Koyu nodded: "Yes, once I set foot on this land, that disgusting voice never left."
"Evil Gods are always like this, only daring to hide in the shadows talking nonsense," the shadowy figure rudely cursed.
Koyu nodded in agreent with this statent.
At this ti, there was only one active Evil God in this area.
That was the [Skull Lord], in such a war-torn area, it’s his favorite region.
Of course, this doesn’t an there are no other Evil God followers, but compared to this Evil God, they are much rarer.
As long as you harbor hatred, have chestfuls of anger, an intense desire for killing, daring to step into this area will get you noticed.
The voice tempting you to fall will be incessant.
Like a hallucination, the voice continuously echoes in your mind, the more extre the emotions, the more the voice can penetrate the soul, leading the emotions even more extre until the fall.
Koyu was the only Assassin who survived from the besieged Night Watcher team in Tula City.
"You said before, during the battle, the main assailant was not a red-marked City Lord offspring, right?"
Koyu nodded.
This was the reason why they were caught off guard at that ti.
They originally thought a high-ranking individual under influence had given the orders.
In this case, those soldiers, even if they were not influenced by the Evil God, would suddenly launch attacks on them.
And they would not turn red, they would only be marked as enemies when causing damage.
The red marks on the map consist of two conditions.
First, being directly marked as cultists, which is not subjectively determined by the Night Watchers.
Many Night Watchers believe it might be determined by the world, and this is indeed the case.
Kana enabled this function using the sa thod.
The second is the subjective determination by Night Watchers, but there are certain conditions for being marked as red enemies.
And just with 1~2 Night Watchers considering them as enemies, their na would turn red.
Unless a Night Watcher believed the other party was not hostile, it would cancel out.
On an incompletely understood Night Watcher panel, the color is entirely judged based on the subjective recognition of known Night Watchers.
Depending on the sensed hostility, the red intensity will gradually deepen and beco increasingly conspicuous.
And actively launching attacks marked as red enemies is the most normal, and the red against cultists has slight differences for distinction.
Therefore, there is a consensus within the Night Watchers.
Special red ans direct attack, as this is a cultist.
Non-special red ans to be on alert.
So when the other side initiated the attack, Koyu and his team were completely unprepared.
The first reason they considered was the most likely one, which ended up being incorrect.
Because the City Lord offspring who initiated the attack transford into a marked Evil God follower shortly after, not a subjective enemy.
In this scenario, through the analysis of the Night Watchers, there might be two possible situations.
First possibility, the cultists figured out how to screen the Night Watchers’ map analysis.
The completed chanism lies in how to deceive the world; as the barriers grow thinner, the world’s will becos more blurred, leading to such situations.
This is quite normal, the Night Watchers almost predicted it. The cultists are not fools, and the previous swift cleanup by Night Watchers suffocated most cultists in various regions.
Often, they would be caught as soon as they erged, then killed.
It forced them to be more hidden than rats in the gutter to avoid the Night Watchers’ patrols.
They needed thods to counter the Night Watchers’ direct ability to see them as cultists.
Second possibility, he genuinely beca a cultist after launching the attack.
aning, perhaps previously inclined towards cultists had this belief, but the Evil God deliberately did not respond, not providing power.
In such a case, it’s highly possible not to be judged as a cultist.
Until he initiated an attack, then given power, only then does it beco possible to be marked as a cultist.
This thod is feasible, the only loophole is whether the Evil God would specifically distract attention for such a small Night Watcher team?
This cannot be determined.
But regardless, the Evil God side has acquired so screening techniques, almost certainly.
The question is whether it can be used on a large scale.
This is sothing everyone needs to investigate.
"This ti, we must ensure sufficient vigilance."
Saying this, the shadowy figure led Koyu through the city’s tunnels into the city to lay low.
...
In Koyu City.
A celebration seed to be taking place at that mont.
In the celebration, the city’s residents danced and reveled.
In the dark corners of various regions, desires were being unleashed without restraint.
Observing the entire city as if imrsed in a sea of joy.
Atop a building’s spire.
Alyris stood on top of the spire, blending into the night.
From above, she could almost see the whole city at a glance.
And on her map.
Large, large red dots clustered together, undoubtedly, almost half of the city’s residents during such festivities had fallen into the grasp of the Evil God in the past days.
"Is this the situation recorded in the books? Infectious contamination."
Alyris murmured to herself.
Because on her map, the white dots were still being crazily tinged with red, almost all the ti, soone was falling into it.
Every Evil God has different ways of inducing people to fall.
The Evil God before her, who leads people to fall through desire, has a unique technique.
Infectious contamination.
Through large-scale festivals or events, constructing an atmosphere extrely easy for one to fall in, sprinkling a bit of their power in preparation.
Through this subtle thod, they can carry out exaggerated infectious contamination actions.
Many civilians unknowingly beco contaminated.
This is not sothing every Evil God can accomplish.
When Kana docunted the various Evil God’s powers and the aspects to be wary of, he wrote about these Evil Gods’ classic or distinct ways of inducing corruption.
Alyris sighed.
Clearly, most of the city’s residents were beyond saving.
How to escape the Evil God’s contamination, at this stage, there is almost no way.
Even if there is a way, the civilians cannot rid themselves of it.
It’s like an incurable disease, once contaminated, who knows when it will erupt directly.
Through psychological ans of seduction into corruption, it is irremovable.
Only the strong or those with a firm will can break free.
But such cases are rare.
Soon, at the city’s square.
The crowd gathered in circles, frantically celebrating.
Releasing desires, revealing each other, singing and dancing.
Purple mist emanated from these people, almost visible to the naked eye, like a fla igniting, rising to the sky with purple smoke.
"According to the Night Watcher’s beliefs, shouldn’t such situations be stopped?"
From the darkness ca Bugreit’s voice.
"[Judgent Court] is not for doing this, it is a blade turned inward, to cut away its own impurities."
"Ah, you creatures always cannot avoid internecine strife."
"Don’t dragons have such internal struggles?"
"Of course they do, just from our perspective, the internal slaughter among your races is a bit too frequent, as if it’s constant."
"Lived too long, dying early spares this trouble."
"Alright, it seems you’re in a bad mood today."
