Weird Calendar

The 17th day of the fifth lunar month is the 4th day of the seventh month in the Gregorian calendar.

It was a day full of disruption for Cole.

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

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

After Hu Dongfeng learned about this, he suddenly gained courage for some reason.

Prepare to go on the road of killing.

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

After the preparations for the ritual of entering the path of killing were completed, the retreater and Hu Dongfeng also established an extremely strong link.

Although only 1% of Hu Dongfeng's inner desire to kill will be passed on to Cole...

But Cole still felt a strong desire to kill.

But he must restrain himself.

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

The excitement, emotion, and admiration in his heart successfully suppressed those desires to kill.

This was the first time that Cole admired someone from the bottom of his heart.

Not the Five Gods, not the Killer Emperor, the Killer Grandmaster, or a member of the corporate board of directors.

But a new person who has just stepped into the old calendar.

In Cole's mind, the final countdown has already begun.

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

"Ninety-six percent."

Cole muttered silently.

He knew it would end today. He just hopes everything goes 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. There is no accident. Come on, Hu Dongfeng, you can do it."

The desire to kill reached its peak at this moment, but so did the excitement and emotion in his heart.

Keer was really afraid of himself, and suddenly wanted to shoot someone to add to the fun.

He didn't dare to look any further.

Another hour passed, and the rush hour for get off work arrived.

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

In Cole's eyes, the sight of Linxiang City no longer existed.

He fell to his knees, breathing heavily.

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

All the accumulated desire to kill is cleared away.

The end of the killing path, for the first time, humans have arrived.

The contract between Killer Cole and the Outer God, the God of Killing, has been terminated.

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

Cole felt really tired.

So he could imagine what kind of will Hu Dongfeng, who had a hundred times the desire to kill, relied on 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 desire to kill, and I no longer need to kill!"

"Thank you, Hu Dongfeng..."

Cole is really grateful to Hu Dongfeng, but this kind of gratitude is only a moral level of gratitude.

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

Walking the path of killing is not signing a contract to retire.

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

And this price is - the retirement contract has become a transfer contract.

But Cole doesn't know all this yet.

But Hu Dongfeng knew.

At the end of the killing path, 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.

"Oops, this is really bad."

"Why is this different from what Mr. Cole told me? Damn it, I have become his mission issuer?"

"Will he kill me?"

…

…

Old Calendar Maze.

lv18.

May 17th, three days have passed since Qin Ze entered the maze on May 14th.

In the previous two days, he had gone all the way, relying on his ability to cheat and his start with Tianhu, and basically suffered no losses.

Along the way, Qin Ze not only lost nothing, but also gained a lot in the life and death decisions.

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

But Qin Ze had a premonition that he was very close to the realm of ghosts and gods.

Level 18 is the final level. This level is certainly not the level where you can see the Maze King.

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

In a sense, it can be considered a success in challenging the maze.

For Qin Ze, this level is not difficult.

In the narrow escape, as long as there is that life, he can survive.

Although, the effect of mind reading has ended.

The scene in level 18 is about escape.

You need to escape from the dangerous area and reach the door without triggering the rule instant kill.

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, if the player is not given a gun or a bullet, the bullets are just a cover. If you actually shoot, you will not be able to kill the boss and will attract other enemies.

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

As Qin Ze 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 value 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 man had experienced such horror.

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

Through the ability to sharpen guns in battle and strengthen the ability to retrieve objects from a distance, Qin Ze can create many blind spots in the scene, and even turn the original dead end into a path 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 ghost's ability, in this scene, is unquestionable, and it can clear the survivor's extra health bar 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 maze. 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 had no way to survive, he felt 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.

Afterwards, 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. In the lobby on the first floor, Sima Yi could no longer be seen.

And there is only one door on the first floor.

Qin Ze didn't even think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it. He hit the door as fast as possible.

A white light appeared, completely engulfing Qin Ze's figure.

…

…

Qin Ze had a dream.

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

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

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

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

At the end of this dream, he saw Qiao Wei suddenly turning back and saying:

"Honey... help me."

woke up.

Qin Ze woke up suddenly, 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 little 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 vigilant.

Sima Yi said:

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

"So you're lucky enough to have a mediator."

Mediator? Qin Ze shook his head to make his consciousness less muddled, 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. Do you have new equipment? It looks really cool."

No. 4 has changed a lot, but Qin Ze recognizes that face.

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

Does this kid know anyone from the Machine Tribe? impossible……

Number 4 said:

"Maybe you know me from before, but I am no longer the me in your eyes. Congratulations, you successfully came back from the maze alive."

"You can understand me as the guide. But I am not the guide of the maze, but the guide of the machine race."

Qin Ze doesn’t understand very well:

"So what do you need me to do?"

Number 4 said:

"I will evaluate your abilities and potential. This potential will determine which of you two is qualified to go to the Machine Tribe."

"Here, what I must tell you is that if you go to the Machinery Clan, your journey into the labyrinth will have a new beginning."

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 explored the maze but escaped unscathed.

After returning to Linxiang City, he will inevitably break through to the realm of ghosts and gods, and may create a legend that he can break through to the realm of ghosts and gods from scratch as quickly as possible.

Moreover, this is a field worthy of gods, and it is very likely that the calendar will also give additional rewards, such as free quality.

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

That's good, but not good enough.

Because the invitation on the 4th will bring more difficult challenges.

And, greater rewards.

Sima Yi said:

"Then start evaluating in your own way. I believe you will make the right choice. It will be clear at a glance who is more suitable for the next challenge, me or him."

Sima Yi also guessed the same result.

He has already felt that the loss of his soul has brought about 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 tribe and find additional methods.

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

What's more, I still have the power to dominate the old calendar that I brought from the Dragon Boat Festival.

Sima Yi knows very well that the advantage lies with me.

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