Weird Calendar

"Of course...well, I originally thought it had nothing to do with it. You and our killer organization are nothing at all."

"As for a truly good person like you, you and I have nothing to do with each other. All we can do is... try our best not to accept orders from people like you."

Thank you, Hu Dongfeng showed a fake smile.

However, the smile on Lao Ke’s face also became meaningful:

"But at that time, I never thought about retiring."

"I said, I have a daughter. After having a daughter, I will be a father. Once a man becomes a father..."

"Hard, there is a weakness."

Lao Ke took a sip of coffee and looked at the scene of Linxiang City outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Lawyer Hu, now, let me tell you the second rule of retirement."

"To retire and terminate the relationship with the God of Killing, you must do three things."

"The second thing is that it can only be accomplished if you have a true non-killing heart, can determine that a person does not deserve to die, and have gone through the path of killing without touching human blood."

"No killer can do this. Even the Blue Rose who only kills evil people among the seven great masters."

"That guy's name is the killer. In fact, he plays a role like a superhero. He kills every three days and kills all the people who deserve to be killed. If it hadn't been clearly stipulated that he was not allowed to kill his peers, she would have even killed a lot of them. Together."

"But even if she wants to retire, she can't walk that road without blood on her hands."

Hu Dongfeng didn't know Blue Rose.

He carefully thought over what he had just said.

As a lawyer, Hu Dongfeng's logic is still very clear.

Once upon a time, there was a god of killing who could protect those who killed people from being affected by nonsense.

So there was the first person to ask for help from the God of Slaughter. Of course, it was unclear how the two men established the connection.

In order to expand his influence, the God of Killing hopes that more people will believe in him.

So, there is religion.

This religion is the prototype of the killer organization.

Subsequently, the organization continued to grow and become formalized, becoming the killer organization it is today.

As for why there are so many people in the killer organization, which is second only to the Hall of Valor and the company in size, it is actually easy to understand.

Everyone will experience a misfortune on the day they become an Old Calendarist.

This misfortune is likely to lead to killing, and any killing will be regarded as an act of black calendar.

Once the gibbering is triggered, you will lose yourself.

As a result, the God of Killing has become very marketable.

After all, if I had been in the basement and killed Prell...

Then he may also need the help of the God of Slaughter.

Hu Dongfeng had a doubt.

He actually doesn't know much about things like outer gods, fallen gods, and worthy gods.

He just had a vague feeling that these gods were not good things.

"Since these gods... have made you believers, why do they still tell you how to escape control and get rid of your identity as believers?"

Lao Ke nodded:

"Good question, I can tell you this, because the alien gods... are not like the worthy gods and the fallen gods. The alien gods are escapees. Every alien god who controls humans as believers must have a way for humans to escape independently. .”

"To put it bluntly, the authority of the outer gods is too small. Even if they really establish a connection with humans, this connection may be severed by humans themselves."

Hu Dongfeng somewhat understood.

The outer gods are very strong, but because they have escaped something, their control over humans is very weak.

The influence of raving on humans is irreversible, but there is a gap that humans can escape from when alien gods enslave humans.

In other words, if you meet certain conditions, you can receive the blessings of external gods, but you will not be restricted by them.

Of course, it is conceivable that it will not be easy to meet certain conditions.

Hu Dongfeng said:

"I probably understand. What do you mean by the way of killing?"

"You also said that even the righteous killer can't get through, but I can get through? Even if I really can get through, what is my relationship with you?"

Lao Ke likes smart people like Hu Dongfeng, who can tell everything at once, and because they are all Old Calendar people, they don't need to make up their own stories.

Things like outer gods and worthy gods should be discussed as needed.

"Blue Rose can't do it, but you can do it, because in your eyes, everyone should die according to the correct process."

"Private suicide does not exist. Prell has asked you so many times whether a certain person should be killed, and you have always said that he should not be killed. It shows that you are the person I am looking for."

Hu Dongfeng was shocked:

"You...how did you know?"

"I know it's normal, but I wonder if you remember that on that rainy night, several of my colleagues came to Jinlong Mountain to snatch something." Lao Ke said.

Hu Dongfeng shook his head:

"What rainy night? You mean... that rainy night that almost paralyzed the city's drainage system?"

Lao Ke nodded:

"That's right, that's right. I was actually here that time too. But before I had time to take action, the target disappeared."

"Anyway, after that, I was actually in Linxiang City."

"I watched many major events that happened in Xiangxiang City later because I wanted to find an... official calendar holder to help me."

"In my opinion, the moral level of the Baili people is not low. If I want someone to help me walk through the path of killing, I may have to choose one of the Baili people."

"My original plan was to find a guy named Jian Yiyi, but later I discovered that this guy might not be inferior to me in strength."

"Moreover, this guy is actually very decisive in killing people. He appears to be very charitable, but in fact, he also has a strong desire to kill in his heart."

"Well, I'm not saying that he is a hypocrite...but that he has always been able to suppress his inner desires."

"So I continued to observe, and finally, the incident at Jingquan Academy made me notice you."

"When you were most disgraced, I knew very well that you were innocent, but I needed to see your choice."

Hu Dongfeng was stunned. He really didn't expect that the story would be like this.

It turns out that the guy in front of him has been targeting him for a long time.

"If Prell wanted to kill me at that time...would you have rescued me?"

"No, that would be against the rules. One of the rules for assassins is - you can kill a single person, but you will not kill someone who has been listed as an assassination target by other colleagues, unless you don't know it beforehand."

"Anyway, I don't plan to save you, but I know you can survive. I still know a little about this new guy Prell."

Cole smiled:

"Prell thinks he is a lunatic, but he is a guy with strong principles and bottom line."

Hu Dongfeng felt that it was... very helpless for ordinary people to live in a world of superpowers.

They may be being observed from all sides without even realizing it.

People praise Batman for being able to appear in every place in time to stop evil.

People are envious of Batman's arsenal of gear and weapons.

But when Butler Alfred opened the countless surveillance screens... they may not have thought that one day, Batman might see people holding mobile phones in their hands and watching side-scrolling videos under the covers. Make a piston with the fifth girl.

Therefore, the price of implementing justice is to violate justice or even trample on justice.

At least, in Hu Dongfeng's view, it is a form of justice for citizens' privacy to be protected.

But now, he is a little scared.

Because I seemed to have no privacy in front of this person.

God knows...how long did he observe before deciding to come here?

Not sure... When he proposed to Yui, he was watching from a short distance away.

Hu Dongfeng was obviously a little worried:

"What if I don't want to help you?"

"Of course it doesn't matter, I will continue to convince you."

Even threatening you appropriately.

Cole didn't say this, but his playful smile meant that he didn't intend to give up easily.

Hu Dongfeng asked again:

"So, you can choose someone to help you complete the second of the three conditions for retirement you mentioned?"

Cole nodded:

"This requires the conclusion of some kind of contract. To put it simply, if you are willing to help me, there are many benefits."

Cole stood up:

"The first killer, the Creation Killer Organization, the first person to come into contact with the God of Killing, is said to have gone to the Old Calendar World."

"The second killer is me."

Cole's smile had a certain wildness and flamboyance. He tilted his head slightly and said:

"Although I can't guarantee that there will be no successors, if the number one killer really goes to the Old Calendar World, it means more that he may not be able to come back."

"And I am the strongest in the world of killers."

"If you agree to help me, I can kill three people for you. These three people don't need you to successfully pass the killing method."

"You can tell me your name now. Of course, not the chairman of the company's board of directors, fellow assassins, and the remaining four gods in the Hall of Valor."

"Because I haven't played against them before, although everyone seems to be on the same level."

Hu Dongfeng's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

Same level?

Is this tall blond guy... actually so strong?

Cole finally added:

"And, we will form a deep friendship, if you really succeed in passing the way of killing."

"To be honest, your future is worrying. Are you the kind of player who doesn't break any taboos?"

"In this world, many people have noble morals, but this noble morality often becomes a constraint for them."

"Bad people and good people live together, and the bad people often have a huge advantage."

"And now, Lawyer Hu, your morality may help a group of... bad guys like us to be freed. It will also bring you a huge advantage."

"If you really succeed in passing the killing method, your life will undergo drastic changes."

"Countless killers...may look high on you and have a good relationship with you."

"By the way, what is your occupation in the old calendar?"

Cole looked at Hu Dongfeng.

Hu Dongfeng did not hide it either:

"politician."

The other party asked this question, which made Hu Dongfeng feel a little relieved. It seemed that the people being monitored were not that exaggerated.

In fact, Cole is a very measured person.

Especially since he is about to retire, he hopes that after successfully retiring, he can get along well with his daughter as a Bai Li.

No longer a killer, but a pure father.

Of course, if his daughter grows up and meets the will-o'-the-wisp boy who calls him Laodeng, he won't mind returning occasionally.

Cole smiled and said:

"This is a good profession. It's an interesting combination. A person like you has encountered such a profession. I'm quite looking forward to it."

"Okay, today is just a notice, Mr. Hu Dongfeng, I hope you will seriously consider it."

…

…

May 11, Youke New Town Community.

Hu Dongfeng came to Qin Ze's house with his briefcase.

The court session went smoothly without any issues.

After eating Pizza Hut, he beat the opponent's lawyer with a quivering tongue.

In the afternoon, Hu Dongfeng came to Qin Ze's home.

He hopes to get Qin Ze's help.

Hu Dongfeng is a person who has the ability to think on his own and is an independent person.

However, he also understands that on some matters, he needs professional help.

Qin Ze is this professional.

Before mentioning Cole's matter, Hu Dongfeng needs to untie a few knots.

Regarding Hu Dongfeng using his ability to propose marriage.

Qin Ze said:

"Tell me, why do you want to use your power on Ms. Yui? This is very unlike you."

Hu Dongfeng also blamed himself:

"It's like this. I can't control my ability to pay bribes very well..."

"So much so that when I proposed to Yui, I took out the ring, which triggered this behavior."

"I swear, I really didn't mean to do this. I really never thought about using this method to get Yui."

"I'm thinking, at most, if I have a conflict with Yui in the future, I can use it to bribe my father-in-law and the others to say something nice to me."

"This is really the only way I can think of to use this ability...that I think is appropriate."

"But I didn't expect that when I was not yet proficient... I could actually trigger my ability just by taking out a gift and hoping that the other party would agree to a certain request of mine..."

"I obviously felt that Yui was sluggish."

"Yes! It was like she had lost the ability to think for herself and lost consciousness, and then she suddenly showed that playful smile."

"Ah, that smile is like those women in island movies whose thoughts have been suddenly tampered with, with a hint of provocation and... lustful feeling."

"Yui agreed to me without even thinking about it."

Hearing this, Qin Ze laughed out loud.

Hu Dongfeng was very anxious:

"No, brother, why are you still laughing?"

At this point, the relationship between the two is no longer an ordinary business relationship.

Hu Dongfeng has regarded Qin Ze as a friend.

Qin Ze went from chortling and laughing at the beginning to laughing so hard that he rolled on the sofa.

Hu Dongfeng was a little confused.

After a while, Qin Ze said:

"I said, Dongfeng, I suggest you try to use your ability again, take a bouquet of more expensive flowers, a better ring, and find a passerby on the street to confess your love. Do you think they will be attracted by you? 'bribe'."

Hu Dongfeng was still puzzled:

"What's the meaning?"

Qin Ze raised his forehead:

"What do you mean? Bribery is indeed a very useful ability, but you don't think that just by holding a bouquet of flowers and buying a broken ring with a serious premium, you can let a person entrust you with the rest of his life, right?"

"What nonsense? If you were so strong, Jia Xu should come to you and ask you to propose to my team leader."

"Have you never thought that...Ms. Yui is actually not affected by the skill at all?"

"She really thinks - 'You are quite interesting. If you dare to confess to me, okay, I promise you.'"

"What a fool, what a lewd smile, you wouldn't think someone like Yui would shyly agree to you, would you? Her reaction is completely normal!"

Hu Dongfeng understood now:

"Ah! Ah!! You mean, Yui actually... also likes me!"

"Next question."
