I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 8: Life and Death Interlude
Dear Sir Herron Campbell:
The Bocka wine you ordered has been replaced with poison, and the target of the poison is the Archduke of Bavaria.

If you believe my advice, please come to the Cairns Hotel Cellar Door for yourself.

—Night Watcher Rhine]

That's right.

Although Su Wen had never heard of the Night Watch, he could still get relevant clues through the [Time and Space Travel] game.

The Night's Watch is an orderly organization on the side of the extraordinary people to deal with disasters.

Besides, Campbell himself has already awakened his extraordinary qualities.

and so.

After learning about the 'zero-sum game' plan.

For Su Wen, who has a flexible moral bottom line, the best option is to find another organization to fight those antisocial guys.

As long as it has nothing to do with me.

He sits in front of the computer.

Looking at the plot hints given by the game:
[Your reminder made Mr. Heron Campbell more cautious while being skeptical]

[He decided to come and see you, but at the same time he secretly called the security forces he hired from the Dukedom of Suagel]

[The following actions will be the key to whether you can enter the Overlimit Act as a lawful camp]

【your choice】

[1. Enthusiastically approach the young nobleman to discuss classical poetry, build rapport, and establish a personal relationship]

[2. Explain the current situation to him from his perspective and explain the subsequent impact of the over-limit law]

[3. Pretending to be mysterious, he left a few unclear sentences to prepare for joining Gotham City and playing the Riddler.]

This is option three.

This really left Su Wen speechless.

Every time he played a story-based game, the most annoying thing was that some characters like mysterious old men would leave him some meaningless hints.

Then, before I could ask a question, the old man's body suddenly tilted and he died cold.

I didn't find out until I finished the game.

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

Can the Riddler please get out of Gotham?

Su Wen, with a serious attitude, decided to try option 1 first.

[After Mr. Heron Campbell arrived at the wine cellar]

You had a serious discussion with him about Percy Bysshe Shelley, the most talented lyric poet in the history of English literature.

[Also deeply analyzed the passage from "To Wordsworth":

Poet who sang praises to nature, you once shed tears, seeing things pass by and never return:]

【Ten minutes later, you guys are having a great conversation.】

A waiter at the Cairns Hotel came to the hotel and called the police because he couldn't find the missing Master Samuel.

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

"I was shot dead right now?"

Su Wen looked at the game's automatic deduction of the plot-killing CG caused by this rubbish function.

I finally understood why I was chosen as the chief player.

The AI level is too low.

and also.

Brother Helun, you and I have had a very pleasant conversation. Can't you save me for Shelley's sake?

What a plastic friendship.

Too plastic.

Speechless, he decided to complete the plan 2 as planned.

[After Mr. Heron Campbell arrived at the wine cellar]

You told him the information you knew.

[And your identity as a night watchman has not been doubted]

"Mr. Rhine, are you saying that someone wants to use the precious wine I gave him to poison the Archduke of Bavaria?"

"That's right, you don't have to believe what I say." Rhine is the name Su Wen calls himself.

"But this 'fake Master Samuel' lying on the ground is probably the clearest proof of this."

He Lun was skeptical.

Then, the last bit of doubt he had was eliminated by the results of his men's inspection of the bottle of wine.

"According to chemical analysis, this bottle of wine is indeed problematic. It contains trace amounts of highly toxic mutant lily of the valley venom."

"We must tell Duke Reinhardt as soon as possible."

After Su Wen talked about the current situation, he realized that this was a crisis, but also an opportunity.

And Su Wen.

Just waiting for him to say this.

As a fake night watchman.

He also needs a stronger witness.

A duke heir.

Herron Campbell, who needs to be cleared of his involvement in the assassination.

[Because your interests are aligned, he doesn't care and doesn't have the time to verify whether you are a true Night Watchman.]

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

[This is an emergency. Please rush to the main banquet hall to protect Joseph Reinhardt and Sophia Reinhardt.]

Right now.

An ordinary killer who was hiding in the banquet hall due to [cognitive modification] was found to be abnormal by the guards at the venue after the death of the psychic extraordinary person in the "zero-sum game".

"The imposter is dead. Please carry out the assassination immediately."

Hear the prompt tone in the headset.

The other killers hiding in the venue also understood that this was their last chance.

They emerged from hidden corners, and the exposed killer first shot at the crystal chandelier that illuminated the banquet hall, and then the others prepared to assassinate Duke Reinhardt in the chaos.

This assassination team is highly professional and well-coordinated.

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

[Sixteenth load]

[Loading location: ten seconds before entering the banquet hall]

In the game of [Protect Duke Reinhard], he can only try to pass the level by constantly recording the location where the enemy appeared last time.

At the moment when the huge glass chandelier fell.

Su Wen leaned against the bunker with great calmness and carried out the clearing work according to the planned process.

The first one is the killer disguised as an interpreter at table number three near the corner.

[Identification: Dark Web assassin, hired by a high bounty in a 'zero-sum game']

【boom】!
Kill with one shot.

Secondly, there was a killer who disguised himself as a cleaner and pretended to take shelter, rushing towards the safe escape route.

Su Wen rolled over and kicked a nearby stool away. In a perfect physical translation line, the stool hit the killer, making him unbalanced. Then, a silenced Glock bullet accurately hit him between the eyebrows.

Finally, two assassins dressed in guard uniforms prepared to launch a close-range sneak attack on Duke Reinhardt.

He rushed forward.

He used his flesh, which was [twice as thick as a normal person's], to block the dagger attack that was fatal to the old duke.

He then fired two shots in quick succession, finishing the job despite being wounded.

In the banquet hall alone, he single-handedly eliminated four of the deadliest assassins.

And Herun, the heir to the dukedom, is no coward.

The extraordinary characteristic (leadership) gives him powerful battlefield interpretation and command capabilities.

With just a silver knife he picked up, Heron Campbell fought and killed a killer who had mixed into the crowd.

Although the third extraordinary person belonging to the "zero-sum game" has not been found.

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

I understand that this game is almost done.
