Compulsory oath rebellion
"It's okay. You can kill me because you are stronger than me. The half-hearted jungler who can't accept being hunted can't support my oath."
“Social Darwinism?”
"There was no such concept in my era. After all, 'freaks' like us were not qualified to go to school. After all, my last name was Ji, although it was a branch of a branch of a branch."
When I heard this term, I found it so strange that it was a little funny.
"You like the people in Group 1 very much, and you know how badly they—especially Ji Liuxing—are troubled by the weak. Do you think it's really worth it for them to sacrifice so much to protect such people? Are these weak people really worth protecting?"
"Answer my question."
Ji Yunding had no interest in responding to his words, nor did he have any intention of chatting with him any further, nor did he plan to think deeply about his speech.
As far as personal feelings are concerned, Ji Yunding seldom feels disgust towards others. Generally, if she doesn't like someone, she simply won't talk to that person, and after a while, it won't matter anymore.
"You see, if you are tied down by various things, you will become constrained. I originally wanted to follow you and see this world of the survival of the fittest completely destroyed... Judging from your expression, in one round, did you really do this?"
Ruguilu keenly noticed that Ji Yunding's expression changed for a moment. He thought about it and sighed, as if he felt extremely regretful that he did not exist in that time and space.
"What are you talking about?"
Ji Yunding was a little annoyed. He didn't want to be polite, but directly took out his dagger.
"Your body is half-deformed, just like Ji Liuxing, right? I know a little bit about medicine, so I shouldn't accidentally kill you."
The report I will return will say that it was an accident that caused his injury. The last time I did this, if it wasn't in a dream, and Ji Yunding broke three ribs of the dummy in the first aid class, I might not have gotten anything.
But things are different now. Ji Yunding completed First Aid Course II in his sophomore year. Although his GPA was not very good, it was good enough considering that the people around him were not likely to die easily.
"You can only use this trick against the guy in Anle Tomb. After all, most monsters were ordinary people when they were alive, so it's normal that they can't stand it."
Ruguilu looked indifferent. Ji Yunding didn't know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to be suppressing some kind of expectation.
"Besides, I can also die directly when necessary. Considering that I have violated your core desire, even if you have returned to a calm period now, you should really want to kill me. Therefore, the information you want should be really important to you."
"So what do you want to do? Let me give you a chance to fight me fairly? That's easy. I'll go find Ji Liuxing and ask him to heal you, and then we'll fight again."
Honestly speaking, Ji Yunding felt that every one of them was a psychopath, and no one was living a good life except her. But objectively and fairly speaking, in such an environment, Ji Yunding, who was still living a good life like a social animal, should be the one with the most serious problems.
"I'm looking for a way to 'break my oath'. I want to prove that my oath was wrong."
Ruguilu also knew that Ji Yunding hated him very much, so he didn't say much and went straight to the point.
"……Then what?"
"And then? I can reunite in hell with the bastard villain who killed my whole family, because I am also a bastard villain. Beheading or slow slicing... I heard that this kind of punishment has been abolished in the world now? It seems so gentle."
Since Ji Yunding joined the company, she has not met many normal people who are afraid of death. Everyone seems to have things more important than life, which means that death has occupied a very delicate position in her mind.
Is it true that a person is complete only when he finds something more important than life? Or is it that a person who is too incomplete has a life that is too light, and is always prone to putting other things above life? Ji Yunding didn't know, she only knew that Ruguilu probably didn't lie.
After all, if he wanted to run away, he should not have stayed in the corner from the very beginning. He would have run away directly and there would not have been so many problems. He went through such a big circle, so he must have something to do with her.
Moreover, Ji Yunding had seen the memories of Ruguilu - unlike other oath warlocks, he never hid the content of his oath and was keen on asking others if they had any suggestions for him to break his oath.
"Although I don't have time to learn more about it, it should only be an appearance. Has the world changed at all? The strong bully the weak, trample on each other, and show no mercy to the naive. This is the rule, right?"
Ruguilu looked at Ji Yunding, closed his eyes and sighed.
"Although Jiye said you can solve my problem, it seems that you don't have any idea now. Forget it... I can't wait any longer."
"I don't understand what you're talking about, but the salary I get is for protecting the people. No matter if they are strong or weak, I will do my duty. So even if I can't get the information I want, I will first cut off your head and bring it back."
Ji Yunding followed the code of conduct for investigators, and seeing that he didn't seem to be ready to say anything, he picked up the dagger and was ready to send him off. Unexpectedly, he laughed because of Ji Yunding's words.
"Really? If you or Ji Liuxing were in my time, it would be great. If you could kill those people like you killed me..."
Ruguilu seemed to be mentally unstable. After saying something to himself, he raised his hand and handed Ji Yunding two tarot cards.
One was the tower that Ji Yunding had seen before—a symbol of collapse, sudden change, and destruction. The other was...
"The Wheel of Fortune represents 'force majeure'. It is probably the rule of our world. When force majeure changes occur, there is no choice but to adapt.
The head of the Ji family let me go, so I guess he wants me to tell you this... Or there is one more thing, I will tell you if you agree to one condition of mine."
Ji Yunding took the tarot cards and looked at him quietly. She didn't agree, but just let him speak first. She didn't like to agree to anything easily. Because once Ji Yunding agreed, he would try his best to do it.
But the request she heard next was completely beyond her expectations.
"Let me die as miserably as possible, cut into pieces and left without a burial place."
Ruguilu covered his face and laughed, then scratched his face, his nails pierced his eyeball, and blood dripped down his cheek.
"I've killed a lot of people who could make beautiful knitwear, a lot of people who could chop firewood neatly, like them...
I deserve to die, they deserve to die; they deserve to die, I deserve to die... Yes, even if the rule of this world is the survival of the fittest, they deserve to die, and I deserve to die too..."
Ji Yunding was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what was going on.
Compulsory oath rebellion - This is an extremely rare situation, which refers to the situation where the oath warlock still agrees with his oath, but wants to do something that violates his oath and wants to escape from his oath.
In this case, the oath brings penalties and mandatory backlash to the oath-taking warlock, with the severity level relative to the oath and the degree of disobedience.
Ji Yunding knew about this because Ji Liuxing told her a long time ago before breaking his oath. He said it was okay for Ji Yunding to go to Group 15, but don't tell him, otherwise he might be forced to break his oath.
Perhaps because Ji Liuxing himself was not so obsessed with this oath, the symptoms he described at the time were very mild. He just had an urge to pinch himself or slap himself, and this urge was still within controllable range.
Most of the time, an oath warlock is more focused on maintaining his oath and becomes increasingly obsessed with it under the influence of his oath. Therefore, mandatory oath rebellion is very rare, especially to this extent.
"I understand. I will discuss with the docking station and expose you as a heinous criminal after your death."
"Really? That's great..."
After entering the Guilu, he could no longer tell the difference between himself and those enemies, so if he could receive a cruel enough punishment, then wouldn’t it be able to prove that things were supposed to be like this, and that the criminals were supposed to die tragically like this?
No, this is the rule of the world, but he accepted it too late. If he had used his ability to kill all those people earlier, if he had realized it earlier...
No, it shouldn't be like this. It seemed like a long time ago, when he couldn't speak, someone had told him that as long as people didn't hurt others and lived by their own efforts, they were qualified to stand upright between heaven and earth.
But the results always prove that his oath is right.
"Another thing is, I am also a pure Blacksworn Warlock. When using the oath, you must be extra careful about the impact of your oath on you."
As he spoke, Ruguilu's tone strangely became normal again. He scratched his head and sighed.
"Ah, at that time, you should have been given a psychological hint to kill each other, otherwise the oath violation would not have been so serious."
He said this in a matter-of-fact way, without showing any trace of the crazy look he had just had.
For Ji Yunding, she didn't know what the use of this reminder was - she was weird and had been unable to get rid of her core desires from the beginning. She just had another oath.
Write it down first. Ji Yunding adheres to the simple values that will come in handy one day. After summarizing and organizing the information, he raised the dagger.
"So, shall I start cutting?"
"please."
——————
When Ji Yunding walked into Ji Liuxing's office carrying a head, he just made a calm phone call and asked the cleaning staff to remember to clean the corridor tomorrow.
I'm used to being tortured by Ji Yunding.
Now Ji Yunding has her own office, but she doesn't like sitting in the office. When she has time, she prefers to stay in a group lounge.
When Ji Liuxing finished listening to Ji Yunding's narration, he looked at the two tarot cards, the Tower and the Wheel of Fortune, and just nodded to confirm.
“You could say that.”
"It's so troublesome. Why do you all know about it but I don't?" Ji Yunding sighed and complained.
"Because we can't do anything, we can know. Because you can do something, you can't know. Including the last time you asked me why you can't use ghost stories, it's also for this reason... Don't put a bloody head on my desk."
Ji Liuxing protested jokingly in the middle of his speech.
"Let it go. Is this his last wish?"
"It's not like his last wish was to have his head on my desk. There are more convenient ways to desecrate a body."
Ji Liuxing thought for a moment and frowned.
"You can find the special contact person assigned to you by the docking office. Last time I heard from Zheng Nuo that your contact person is too idle. Why don't you find them?"
"I always feel that it's more reliable to find you? Besides, you understand what I say faster than strangers."
"Then please send me your contact person, and I will contact him directly from now on."
Ji Liuxing's attitude changed very quickly. Ji Yunding had long discovered that Ji Liuxing was the type of person who was not easily praised and could easily take on many things without realizing it.
In fact, he is a very unreliable person, but because his abilities are so strong, he can really solve all problems, so it is difficult to say whether he is reliable or unreliable.
Now that Ji Liuxing has finished the surgery, he is acting as the deputy team leader. Even if half of his internal organs are cut off, there are still not many people who can beat him. Ji Yunding, at most, can add Wei Qianqiu.
At present, Ji Yunding is the team leader in name only after all departments have completed the handover. However, a small problem has arisen - without using the bipolar energy and the oath, Ji Yunding cannot beat Wei Qianqiu with a knife.
Generally speaking, daggers are light weapons that are suitable for most scenarios, so people usually use standard daggers in fights. Wei Qianqiu is best at fighting one against many, so she uses weapons with a larger attack range - scimitars, swords or some long-handled weapons.
If fighting against Ji Liuxing, it would be enough for Bai Wu Jin Ji to win, but when fighting against team members, they must win fairly in the areas they are good at in order to convince others. To some extent, it is also a kind of practice.
Fortunately, it was just that he couldn't beat Wei Qianqiu, which was not a big problem. Wei Qianqiu also trusted Ji Yunding. Moreover, Wei Qianqiu himself had no interest in being a team leader, and recently he was trying to overcome the communication barrier and teach Ji Yunding how to use a knife.
Of course, most of the time Wei Qianqiu would silently make a few moves out of thin air, and then Ji Yunding would rely on his understanding to guess.
After a while, when the person at the liaison office took the head away, the topic between Ji Yunding and Ji Liuxing shifted from the handover between team leaders to the fixed topic of "How is your illness recently?"
Don't get me wrong, I'm not insulting anyone. It's just that mental problems are normal among top investigators, so no one is shy about it. When they see a stranger, they will even enthusiastically ask the newcomer what disease he has.
Let me reiterate, this is not an insult, please don't misunderstand.
"By the way, if I'm the team leader, then I have the authority to read your file."
Ji Yunding said as he pushed Ji Liuxing's chair further away and stood in front of the computer clicking the mouse.
"And I've wanted to ask this for a long time, why are all the offices in Group 1 equipped with swivel chairs, while the other groups are equipped with ergonomic chairs without wheels, which looks much more serious than ours."
Ji Liuxing turned around in his chair and smiled helplessly.
"Because everyone likes it, it was decided by voting. Lin Shu said that if the swivel chair doesn't win, she will replace all the Coke in the lounge with soy sauce."
“It’s terrible.”
To be honest, before Ji Yunding became familiar with the group, he really didn't expect the style of painting here to be like this.
"…Balanced White Knight Syndrome? How should I put it? It doesn't seem surprising at all."
"Come to think of it, you're not speaking so formally now. Last time, Lin Shu and the others took you to see a doctor for Asperger's syndrome. What did the psychologist say?"
"I'm much better now, but my dependence on repetitive behaviors and fixed rituals is still very serious."
Ji Yunding tilted his head and thought of a question of his own.
"Didn't the analysis team publish a paper saying that people with neurological diseases are generally more talented in mystical powers? If I recover slowly, will I become weaker?"
"I don't know. Anyway, no one in the group has recovered. Lin Shu's phobia, Wei Qianqiu's post-traumatic stress disorder caused intrusive thoughts and communication disorders, Ji Changsheng's neurotic disorder, and..."
This is a collection of the best, not a single healthy person. Going crazy normally seems to be a prerequisite for becoming a top investigator.
After the two of them had a very ordinary daily conversation, Ji Yunding naturally started a new topic.
"By the way, Team Leader, I want to discuss something with you. You know I've always wanted a sister, right?"
"No matter from which angle you look at it, I don't think there's anything I can do about it."
Although Ji Liuxing made such a joke, he still listened carefully, because he knew that Ji Yunding would definitely have more to say.
"So can you help me talk to Sister Tang and ask her to adopt me if possible."
"ah?"
"And then I can adopt a little girl from an orphanage, and then I'll have a sister. Don't worry, I'll pay for it. I can support my sister and me..."
"Wait a minute, let me think about it."
Ji Liuxing felt that his logical thinking collapsed for a moment, and he was stunned for a while before he reacted.
"Why don't you just ask Sister Tang... I see. Is this what you mean by 'being more tactful'?"
"Great, it really saves me the trouble to tell you. I have already thought of a name for my sister. Her last name is Su."
"Why is your last name Su?"
"Ah Qing once told me that if you don't know how to name a child, just find a nice surname, and then any name will sound good."
Ji Liuxing nodded, thinking that this part made sense. After all, Ji Yunding was not someone who took his surname seriously. He could change his surname whenever he wanted, and only used his given name as a code that contained blessings.
It was no use just because the name sounded like they were a family - the two people present could quickly reach this consensus without saying anything.
"According to what you said, a name is a blessing. I'm a little curious about what blessing you will give her."
"Well, I hope she's strong. Let's call her Su Qiang. The internet says it sounds good with double characters... let's call her Su Qiang Qiang. If she doesn't like it, I'll go with her to change her name. It's also okay to change her surname."
It can be seen that Ji Yunding has really tried hard. To repeat, Ji Yunding does not know how to name things.
"That sounds great. I'll ask the Ministry of Law if this is possible."
Accept, recognize, and be assimilated. Ji Liuxing quickly adapted to this topic, then picked up his phone and sent a few messages, contacting the legal department of Group 1.
"People with both parents cannot be adopted... I can solve this problem."
After saying something that sounded a bit scary, Ji Liuxing stood up and was about to walk out, but Ji Yunding grabbed him and stopped him.
"Stop it, illegal killing is not good, team leader, you don't want to go to jail."
"No, I'm not going to kill anyone. What are you thinking? We are civil servants, not dictators."
Ji Liuxing found it a little funny. It seemed that the style of Group 1 left an indelible impression on Ji Yunding.
"Just talk to the Ministry of Justice to see if we can send them in legally. You shouldn't mind them going to jail. But there's another problem. If Sister Tang adopts you, you'll be considered a member of the family."
"What's wrong?"
"Have you forgotten? My adoptive mother and Sister Tang are sisters. In other words, I am your brother in the sense of your household registration book."
"ah……"
Seeing Ji Yunding's reluctant look, Ji Liuxing added another sentence.
"Besides, it's very troublesome with our family. According to the rules of our family, although it doesn't matter what we say behind my back, you still have to call me Brother in person."
This is not just a joke. The first goal of Ji Yunding's oath is to become the strongest, and both the oath and the core desire will affect her in turn.
This meant that she would always have an instinctive desire to compete with Ji Liuxing. Ji Liuxing could fully anticipate that this would make Ji Yunding very unhappy.
"Investigators usually retire at the age of 37. You can just adopt one yourself after that. You'll still want to keep a dog by then, right? It's a good opportunity for children and puppies to play together."
"That's true, but I have a world-destruction issue to deal with before I retire."
"You sound like you're thinking about what to eat tomorrow... You retired to save the world to avoid being disturbed?"
"Logically speaking, there is no conflict. How can I retire if the world is gone?"
After such a brain-stimulating conversation, Ji Yunding thought about it and felt that it was a bit too uncomfortable to call Ji Liuxing "brother", so he changed the subject and talked about business.
"It seems like we have to work with people from other countries to solve the snowstorm this time?"
"Yes, after all, the government has its own difficulties. It's okay. Investigators from different countries... forget it, you'll know when you get there in a few days. In short, they're all quite friendly."
