Chapter 250 Goodbye No. 4

May 17th of the lunar calendar, July 4th of the Gregorian calendar.

For Cole, this is a day full of subversion.

A few days ago, Qin Ze disappeared, suspected to be doing something big.

Cole realized that Qin Ze asked him to be a bodyguard and take things back from Ou Yezi in order to prepare for entering the old calendar world.

After Hu Dongfeng knew about this, he suddenly became bold.

Prepare to go to the Way of Killing.

Cole's retreat finally has a direction and is about to be implemented.

When the ceremony of entering the Way of Killing is ready, the retreater and Hu Dongfeng also established an extremely strong connection.

Although only one percent of Hu Dongfeng's inner desire for killing will be passed on to Cole...

But Cole still feels a strong desire for killing.

But he must restrain it.

Because Hu Dongfeng... has successfully completed 95% of the journey.

His inner excitement, touching, and admiration successfully suppressed those desires for killing.

This is the first time that Cole admires someone from the bottom of his heart.

Not the Five Gods, not the assassin emperor or assassin master, nor a member of the company's board of directors.

But a newcomer who has just entered the old calendar.

In Cole's mind, he has begun to calculate the final countdown.

On the afternoon of July 4, the weather in Linxiang City was very hot, but he stood in the office building. It was obviously cool, but sweat was already oozing from his back.

"Ninety-six percent."

Cole muttered silently.

He knew that it would be over today. He just hoped that everything would go well.

"Ninety-eight percent."

An hour later, looking down from the office building, there were more people on the street and more vehicles.

"Ninety-nine percent. No accidents, come on, Hu Dongfeng, you can do it."

The desire to kill reached its peak at this moment, but the excitement and touching in his heart also reached its peak.

Cole was really afraid of himself, and suddenly wanted to shoot someone to cheer him up.

He didn't dare to look anymore.

Another hour later, the rush hour arrived.

The streets of Linxiang City were already very congested. On the navigation map, this section of the path has been marked in red.

In Cole's eyes, there was no longer any scene of Linxiang City.

He knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

"One hundred percent. Hu Dongfeng... you fucking, you fucking! Unbelievable! You fucking really did it!"

All the accumulated killing desires were emptied.

For the first time, a human reached the end of the killing path.

The contract between the killer Cole and the Outer God, the God of Killing, was lifted.

Cole felt relieved, and his sweat was completely soaked. He was like an athlete who had undergone intense exercise. At this moment, he was relying on instinctive breathing to decompose sugar to gain physical strength.

Cole felt really tired.

So he could imagine how Hu Dongfeng, who had a hundred times more killing desire than himself, would rely on his will to fight against killing.

This is really an... incomprehensible existence.

"From this moment on... I am a free man, and I can be a father. I will no longer be dominated by the sudden killing desire, and I no longer need to kill people!"

"Thank you, Hu Dongfeng..."

Cole was really grateful to Hu Dongfeng, but this gratitude was only moral gratitude.

But he didn't know that he and Hu Dongfeng had already been deeply bound at the level of the old calendar.

Going through the path of killing and slaughter is not to sign a retirement contract.

Because in a sense, Cole cheated and hired a substitute.

And the price is that the retirement contract has become a transfer contract.

But Cole doesn't know all this yet.

But Hu Dongfeng knows.

At the end of the path of killing and slaughter, Hu Dongfeng was as happy as Cole at first.

Then, Hu Dongfeng frowned.

The information that emerged in Hu Dongfeng's mind made him a little overwhelmed.

"Oh no, this is really bad."

"How is this different from what Mr. Cole told me? It's over, I became his task publisher?"

"Will he kill me?"

...

...

Old calendar maze.

lv18.

On May 17, three days had passed since Qin Ze entered the maze on May 14.

In the first two days, he had passed all the levels and relied on his cheating ability and Tianhu's opening, with basically no losses.

Along the way, Qin Ze not only did not lose anything, but also gained a lot in the life and death decisions.

Now, although the old calendar has not been settled yet, it will be settled only when he successfully returns to the real world.

But Qin Ze has a hunch that he is very close to the realm of ghosts and gods.

Level 18 is the last level. This level is certainly not the level to meet the maze king.

But if this level is successfully passed, you will have the right to leave the maze.

In a sense, it can be regarded as a successful challenge to the maze.

For Qin Ze, this level is not difficult.

In a life or death situation, as long as there is that life, he can survive.

Although the effect of mind reading has ended.

The scene of the eighteenth level is escape.

You must escape from the dangerous area and come to the door without triggering the rules to kill instantly.

Compared with the previous levels, the most difficult part of this level is the rules themselves, which only allow escape, not fighting.

Just like a horror game, the player is not given a single shot or bullet. The bullets are just a cover. If you really shoot, you can't kill the boss and will attract other enemies.

The scary scene in this level is a closed office building.

As Qin Ze, who possesses the "free fall" skill, he could have chosen to break the window and jump off the building.

But unfortunately, the rules don't allow this to happen.

There is also a forced health bar on the character's head. Even though Qin Ze's own health is very high and can withstand any impact, the various injuries caused by escaping in this scene——

The extra health bar will be deducted. If the extra health bar is cleared, the player will die instantly even if the player himself is intact.

In other words, at this level, no matter how powerful you are in the game, it is all virtual.

Just follow the rules and start your escape.

It was hard for Qin Ze to imagine which scene in the Old Calendar world or which unlucky person had experienced such horror.

But fortunately, even without the ability to read minds, he can still successfully avoid "ghosts" on every floor.

By sharpening his skills in battle and strengthening his ability to retrieve objects from a distance, Qin Ze can create many blind spots in the scene, and even turn the original dead ends into roads that players can pass.

As long as temporary workers have many skills, it is easy to cheat.

Not to mention "quick thinking" where thinking does not consume time.

Qin Ze reached the second floor smoothly.

The ghost at this time is still on the fourth floor.

He had passed the level perfectly, but the appearance of a person made his leveling seem less than perfect.

"It's you!" Qin Ze was shocked.

In the corridor leading from the second floor to the first floor, beside the stairs, a curly-haired boy appeared in Qin Ze's sight.

The curly-haired boy looked at Qin Ze, frowned and said:

"Interesting, it seems that you are not the maze character constructed from the memories in my mind."

The ability of the ghost, in this scene, is unquestionable, and it can clear the extra health bar of the survivor at the moment of encounter.

At this moment, the ghost has arrived on the third floor.

But the curly-haired Su Ye and Qin Ze both stopped.

"It turns out that you, like me, went to the labyrinth. I was wondering before if you had the ability to read minds. Now that you can reach the same level as me, it seems that you should be." The curly-haired boy said.

Qin Ze also said:

"Yes, although Feng Enman has always told me that Sima Yi is invincible, when you think you see Sima Yi, it is not actually Sima Yi. But I guess, you should be the real one."

This time, Qin Ze looked directly at Sima Yi.

He believed that the effect of Sima Yi's suitability would not last longer than his own. Sima Yi also looked directly at Qin Ze.

"If you haven't reached the realm of ghosts and gods, I can kill you. It only takes a moment to kill a stranger." Sima Yi showed a contemptuous smile.

Qin Ze shrugged:

"Then guess how a stranger can survive all the way to level 18. Looking at you, it seems that you have lost a lot of things. Half of your shadow no longer belongs to you."

The ghost's footsteps can already be heard.

At this moment, after Qin Ze finished speaking his handsome lines, he wanted to run away. He thought Sima Yi would not kill him.

Because such a guy will definitely find a way to steal his memory first.

But ghosts are unreasonable and will really kill all the survivors.

Qin Ze was still wrong, but not by much.

But Sima Yi, who had lost his fear, would not let Qin Ze escape.

He thought it was funny.

Qin Ze also saw at a glance that Sima Yi lost something and became crazy.

The moment Qin Ze took action, Sima Yi struck Qin Ze with a knife at a speed that was too fast for Qin Ze to react.

The movement attracted the ghost's attention.

The countdown to death has begun.

At this time, Sima Yi came downstairs leisurely.

"I did lose part of my soul, but obviously, this also made the master of the labyrinth more fond of me."

Arrive at the first floor, pass through the lobby door, and escape from the office building. This level is considered passed.

Sima Yi did not have murderous intentions towards Qin Ze because Qin Ze's memory was still useful to him.

But if Qin Ze couldn't survive, he felt that it was nothing more than that.

At a certain moment, Sima Yi's heart did become chaotic. After losing fifty percent of his soul, he became a little strange to himself.

He became more and more "fun-loving".

It seems that all actions can be done for fun.

Qin Ze was convinced at this time that Sima Yi did hide many secrets and was not a simple historian.

The power of the knife strike just now cost him half of his extra health bar.

But the other party seems to have some spare power.

"This guy really gained a lot during the Dragon Boat Festival not long ago..."

"I'm not the only one who's special. But Sima Yi is already half of the Maze King."

"Is he still the same person now?"

The ghost has reached the second level.

Qin Ze did not look back, but moved various objects to form a wall.

Blocking the ghost's gaze is enough to kill the survivor.

Then, Qin Ze started running wildly.

He couldn't suppress the movement he created, but through calculation, the ghost was not very fast.

"Ghosts have the ability to instantly kill survivors and are almost impossible to defeat. But ghosts themselves have no other abilities."

Through the previous exploration, Qin Ze has collected a lot of things.

He was right.

"You can't appear in the sight of the ghost, and you can't run slower than him!"

Sima Yi's delay put Qin Ze in danger, but Qin Ze still had the conditions to pass the customs.

He ran quickly and finally reached the first floor. Sima Yi was no longer visible in the lobby of the first floor.

And there was only one door on the first floor.

Qin Ze didn't even think about it, and he ran towards the door at the fastest speed.

A white light appeared and completely engulfed Qin Ze's figure.

...

...

Qin Ze had a dream.

In the dream, Qiao Wei and Hua Ge began to blame each other.

Qiao Wei's eyes became as red as rabbit's eyes.

Qiao Wei, who was originally beautiful and generous, now looked like a jealous woman.

Not only that, he saw her tiredness, timidity, and a contradictory desire to destroy in Qiao Wei's eyes.

At the end of this dream, he saw Qiao Wei suddenly turn around and say:

"Dear...save me."

Woke up.

Qin Ze suddenly woke up, smelled the salty smell of the sea breeze, and felt the touch of fine sand rubbing against his skin.

"Uh...where is this?"

Qin Ze felt a headache.

On the other side, a curly-haired boy said:

"He has woken up. Judging from the time he woke up, he is obviously not the person you are looking for."

Sima Yi.

Qin Ze saw it clearly and immediately became alert.

Sima Yi said:

"Although I am very interested in your memory, I would rather go to the location of the mechanical family."

"So you are lucky to meet a mediator."

Mediator? Qin Ze shook his head to make his consciousness less turbid, and then he noticed that there was a silent person standing on the other side.

But when he saw this person clearly, Qin Ze smiled.

"It's you! Number 4! All your limbs have been repaired. Is it new equipment? It looks really cool."

Number 4 has changed a lot, but Qin Ze recognizes that face.

Sima Yi's smile froze, realizing that something was wrong.

This kid knows someone from the mechanical family? Impossible...

No. 4 said:

"Maybe you know me in the past, but I am no longer the me in your eyes. Congratulations, you have successfully returned alive from the maze."

"You can understand me as a guide. But not the guide of the maze, but the guide of the mechanical race."

Qin Ze didn't quite understand:

"Then what do you need me to do?"

No. 4 said:

"I will evaluate your abilities and potential, and this potential will determine which of you is qualified to go to the mechanical race."

"Here, I must tell you that if you go to the mechanical race, your maze journey will have a new development."

Qin Ze can probably guess what the so-called new development is.

If he refuses No. 4's invitation at this moment, he will leave the maze.

Become a legend who explores the maze but can get out of it unscathed.

After returning to Linxiang City, he will definitely break through the ghost realm, and perhaps create the fastest legend of breaking through to the ghost realm from scratch.

And this is the realm of the value god, and it is very likely that the calendar will give additional rewards, such as free matter.

Obviously, the messenger will also give a generous reward, and the quality of the Golden Calendar manuscript will be closer and closer to the "historical truth".

This is good, but not good enough.

Because the invitation of No. 4 will bring a more difficult challenge.

And, a greater reward.

Sima Yi said:

"Then start evaluating in your way. I believe that you will make the right choice. It is clear who is more suitable for the next challenge between me and him."

Sima Yi also guessed the same result.

He has already felt that the loss of his soul has brought many changes.

If you don't want to become a pawn of the Labyrinth King, you have to find a way to enter the mechanical family and seek additional methods.

This group of people whose souls can be placed in the machine... can definitely solve their own predicament.

What's more, I also brought the power of the old calendar master from the Dragon Boat Festival.

Sima Yi knew very well that the advantage was mine.

He glanced at Qin Ze calmly, and at this time, Qin Ze had an extra USB flash drive in his hand
