Chapter 77

On June 09, 2018, Bai Bai Fugui finished various re-examinations in the hospital and confirmed that there was no problem with his body before taking his wife and daughter to leave Qinzhou.

After the incident at Bishuiwan Manor, plus the strange deaths of Miaozhu, Yunqing, and others in the town, the New Home Group, which lost more than a dozen senior executives, lost interest in contracting the Xuanhu Scenic Area in Gubei Town.

The lobbying team participating in the bidding this time has already withdrawn, leaving only some personnel to watch some possible downstream industries.

The main part of this project was eaten by Zhang Zhang Yangxu's New World Group without suspense, although they actually didn't want to eat it. The group was generally pessimistic about this project, almost defaulting that this was a muddy water, and it would be a success if it didn't lose money.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stayed in Taoyuan City for a few days in the identity of Zhang Zhang Yangxu, both to handle work and to organize some necessary information before setting off.

After carefully summarizing Yu Yu Zi Qian's life experience, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe learned that there are at least 3 unspoken rules in the current circle of Ascenders.

1: 【Ascenders will not easily expose their identity】

Anyone encountered in a strange event may be an Ascender with a hidden identity, or an ordinary person who entered it by mistake.

2: 【Ascenders will not reveal the core rules they have mastered to anyone, even their closest relatives】

This is easy to understand. Core rules are the life and death of Ascenders. Just like Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, who knows the rules of the special concession, can easily kill Feng Feng Yushu, and people who know Donghuang Taiyi's rules can also use this to murder Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe.

3: 【Ascenders will not easily kill another Ascender】

This is not because of mutual appreciation or legal restrictions, but because when an Ascender dies, the rules collapsed in his body will be unfolded macroscopically, pulling large areas of reality into strange events.

Even the most experienced Ascender cannot guarantee that he can survive and escape from every strange event.

There is no law in the circle of Ascenders, they are just afraid of throwing a rat to avoid breaking the vessel.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe wrote all these rules in a newly opened leather-bound notebook with a fountain pen. In addition to the unspoken rules of the Ascender circle, the notebook also recorded the rules of several ghosts:

The special concession that steps on shadows, the Zhao You that seeks good fortune and avoids evil, the Master Yeyao that leaves the body and sneaks... and the formless Donghuang Taiyi.

He summarized all the information about ghosts he learned into the strange file in his hand.

In fact, if possible, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't want to do this. The reason has been said above. Ascenders will never reveal the rules they have mastered to anyone. Writing the rules on paper, if someone else gets this strange file one day, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe still chose to do so.

"Before finding and truly mastering the ghost that possesses the Thought Steel Seal rule, my self-cognition still has the risk of confusion."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe sees his state very clearly: "I don't know the limit of the rules simulated by Donghuang Taiyi. If one day in the future my cognition is still confused, my memory is disordered or lost, and I, who have lost myself, become another person in a daze... By then, maybe this strange file can help me with something."

Maybe, who knows.

After thinking for a while, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe picked up the fountain pen again and added several sub-items under the file entry of 【Ascenders will not easily kill another Ascender】:

"Ascenders will not easily kill another Ascender... However, it is not without exceptions."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe pondered for a moment and wrote down new entries on the strange file: —In the following situations, Ascenders may kill other Ascenders:

1. The other party possesses rules that he urgently needs

For example, Zi Qian, who is about to die, hunted down the survivors of the Bishuiwan Manor incident frantically before his death, in order to find the special concession to continue his life.

If the future Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe is on the verge of losing himself and finds the ghost of the Thought Steel Seal, but finds that the ghost has already been mastered by someone else... then the Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe at this time might not become the next crazy Yu Yu Zi Qian.

2. He has already understood all the rules mastered by the other party

Understanding the rules means that even if he kills the Ascender, he has a great grasp of surviving in the strange events that unfold after the Ascender dies.

When the price of killing becomes bearable, the tacit understanding of non-aggression between Ascenders becomes a mere formality.

3. Someone knows his core rules

Refer to entry 2 for this. Core rules are the life and death of Ascenders. When an Ascender's core rules are cracked, killing him becomes an option.

Ascenders will fight to the death with those who have cracked their rules, whether that person is an ordinary person or another Ascender.

"When any of the above conditions are met, there is a probability of slaughter between Ascenders... and vice versa. When none of the above conditions are met, the extreme situation of Ascenders killing other Ascenders will almost never happen."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put a pause at the end of the entry, spent more than ten seconds waiting for the ink to dry, then closed the strange file, buckled the cover, and put the leather-bound notebook into his arms.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door outside. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said the door was not locked, and Zhang Zhang Yangxu's assistant pushed the door and walked in,

"Zhang Zong, the flight to Yunzhou takes off in 2 hours, we can go over first now."

"Okay, let's go." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stood up, left the hotel with his assistant, and took a car to the airport.

The business level of Zhang Zhang Yangxu's assistant is quite professional. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe gave an order, and in less than a few hours, everything from round-trip flights to accommodation after landing was arranged properly.

However, although he didn't ask a word more, the assistant actually didn't understand in his heart. The project contract for Gubei Town had just begun to be drafted, and Yangxu said he was going to Yunzhou immediately, saying that a well-known calligrapher in Yunzhou named 'Bochang' passed away yesterday, and he had to rush to attend Bochang's funeral...

The assistant didn't understand. Could a funeral of a literati be more important than a real gold and silver company contract?

And according to the assistant's personal knowledge, although Zhang Zhang Yangxu has collected many of Ji Ji Bochang's calligraphy works, there is actually no deep personal friendship between the two.

Ji Ji Bochang's children only politely sent invitations to attend the funeral to those well-known collectors who have more of the old man's calligraphy and paintings. The etiquette nature of this invitation is actually greater than the actual nature. If you go to support, everyone is happy, but no one will say anything if you decline.

But Zhang Zhang Yangxu really went, and it was the most urgent flight booked by the assistant, and the tightest itinerary arranged.

"I haven't seen Zhang Zong value these literati and ink guests so much before...?" The assistant was confused for a while.

However, what he, an ordinary person, didn't know was that he was not the only one invited to the funeral.

There is also Yu Yu Zi Qian.
