Chapter 158: Jessica made up her mind

Seeing Feng Xue fall into the long exam, Jessica's heart also began to agitate violently, time passed minute by minute, just when she was ready to give up this thought, Feng Xue raised her head as if she had finally made a choice, and looked directly at Jessica and said:

"Yes."

Although it was just a concise word, Jessica immediately stood up, her face full of excitement, but then, she heard the other party spit out another word-

"Bart (but) ......"

Hearing that there was still a twist, Jessica couldn't help but swallow her saliva lightly, and then heard the other party continue:

"Though I can only provide you with one layer of protection, you still have to make ten covenants...... Of course, I'll train you later to master as many skills as possible. ”

"I do!"

Jessica said loudly without much thought, which surprised Feng Xue a little, and he now suddenly began to wonder if this woman had something wrong with her brain.

However, with sustainability in mind, he began to explain according to his original idea:

"Don't worry, I'll explain to you the actual constraints of the Ten Covenants first, and then make a decision after you listen to it."

"Okay, you say." Jessica said this, thought about it, turned off the recorder, and then looked at Feng Xue with expectant eyes.

Feng Xue picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip of water, before explaining:

"The essence of the Ten Covenants is to bind the executioners from using their power outside of morality and justice, and it binds the executioner's behavior while also establishing a set of tasks for the executioner."

Listening to Feng Xue's words, Jessica looked at the ten covenants written on the notepad and said thoughtfully:

"Take the commission, conduct the investigation, act alone...... That is, the entire process has to be done by one person independently? And since the executioner wants to hide his identity, how can he accept the commission? ”

"Because this commission is not for people to come to the door, but for you to find it yourself." Feng Xue showed a smile and said:

"Investigating injustices, looking for victims or relatives, getting commissions from them, and then confirming the authenticity of the commissions before proceeding, is to avoid indiscriminate killings, wrongful killings, and to ensure that the executioner does not become a knife in the hands of certain beings.

"In the same way, the same is true for acting alone, after all, people have desires, and the executioner is theoretically not allowed to do superfluous things outside of the task, but if you take a younger brother, you kill people in the front, and the younger brother loots the loot in the back, isn't it to bypass the restrictions?

"But from this point of view, you should understand that this solo action is only for the 'execution of the task', and the search commission and the investigation commission can be done by someone else, but you must make a final confirmation to ensure that the commission is genuine. In fact, when Libra was thriving, it had a world-wide intelligence network that was used to gather information. ”

Hearing this, Jessica immediately thought of her own tabloid, don't underestimate the lace news newspaper, the paparazzi they raise can collect the privacy of celebrities under the protection of various bodyguards, agents, security guards and consortium guards, and in the face of those cases where the news is not so tightly blocked, it is naturally easy to catch.

It didn't even take much effort for her to give an order to transform the newspaper as chairman, and then announce a raise in the salaries of its reporters, and the newspaper would immediately become her personal intelligence network.

Seeing Jessica's expression with a little surprise, Feng Xue knew that her hint was in place, so she continued:

"The executioner is a very dangerous profession, although these terms limit the abuse of power, but also make the executioner shackles, even in the era of a hundred years ago, when technology was not developed, there are many examples of them who have failed to perform tasks and lost their lives, and what you can get from me is only a strong physique and some skills, even then do you want to join?"

Jessica didn't care about Feng Xue's warning, as an "adventurer" who dared to play anaerobic mountaineering, parachute jumping, and even only brought a knife into the rainforest to survive, this kind of behavior of gambling her life for justice was far more exciting and exciting than those gambling sports that just challenged herself.

Compared with the trivial matter of life danger, she cares more about another problem-

"Does this hidden identity mean giving up the existing identity and becoming a person who 'does not exist'?"

This question is not that Jessica is brainstorming, but because when she was adventuring, she heard some rumors from her peers, such as "the top killers are all 'invisible people' without real household registration, even if fingerprints, DNA samples and even photos are taken, there is no trace at all."

Now that I think about it, could these non-existent killers also be the legacy of the Libra organization?

However, for her statement, Feng Xue decisively denied it:

"It doesn't have to be like this, hiding your identity means hiding your identity as an 'executioner', in addition to that, you can be a rich man, a newspaper reporter, a noodle shop owner, a store cashier, etc., these identities don't have to be hidden, or their existence is itself part of hiding your executioner's identity."

"That's fine." Jessica said with a sigh of relief, but Feng Xue still said with a serious expression:

"Are you sure? As long as you sign this contract, even if the enemy who killed your father is in front of you, as long as there is no entrustment from the parties, you will not be able to do it. Except for commissions, no killing, this is the bottom line that must be observed. ”

"But I can beat him, right? I can entrust you with your help, right? Jessica's mind was spinning quickly, but she noticed a haze on Feng Xue's face.

The faint joy of discovering the loophole cooled instantly, and at this moment, Jessica seemed to feel a feeling of near death-

That feeling, she had only felt when she was skydiving, although it was only a fleeting moment, but she probably understood that it might be the legendary "murderous spirit".

For a while, Jessica thought a lot, and she even felt that she had guessed some truths about the demise of the "Libra" organization - there are loopholes in the covenant, and people naturally like to exploit loopholes, when the executioner no longer abides by the covenant, but constantly looks for loopholes for his own profit, Jessica, who has seen countless legendary stories, is not difficult to imagine the plot after that.

But at this moment, she could only be nervously silent, hoping that the other party would not be provoked by her cleverness.

However, this tense atmosphere came and went quickly, and Feng Xue seemed to quickly adjust her mood, and sighed:

"Yes, there are loopholes in the covenant, but I still hope that you can see it as a kind of self-restraint similar to conscience, rather than a shackle imposed on you, otherwise, as your mentor, I can only make you disappear...... If you're sure you want to sign this contract. ”

Under the previous death-like pressure, Jessica temporarily gave up the idea of chasing excitement and began to chew on the meaning of Feng Xue's words, and then nodded lightly:

"I see, but I still want to be a executioner."

ps1: I really didn't expect someone to ask the question of "only explaining barter but not explaining easy things", the same ah, you can say "come for three yuan" when you buy vegetables, you can say "come to me for five hundred" and "give me an hour" when you go to the tea master! Isn't that a vague requirement? When the tea master hears this request, he will naturally serve you a set meal according to his own price.

ps2: Don't use the logic of real items to consider phantom objects, the characteristics of phantom objects I have said many times - "the setting is bigger than the sky, the special attack on the sun immortals", the setting of the coin is "trading", so it can only obtain ownership through trading, in the eyes of most people, plunder is not a transaction, so it cannot obtain ownership.

But there is an exception, that is, with elements such as [Plunder], [Theft], or labels such as [Robber], [Thief], and for example, Lao Li's strange story of [Gazi stealing dogs], you can obtain ownership rights through "non-transaction" means, because elements such as [Stealing] and [Plunder] have special attacks on elements such as [Precious], [Valuable], and [Currency].

PS3: The unusability of the coin does not mean that the power it has is gone, the person who has the right to belong is dead, and the coin just loses the absolute effect of "asking the other party to do one thing", but its hidden value is still there.

Of course, there are many "adjustments" (Yu-Gi-Oh terminology), such as leaving a will (you can get coins for achieving something) and changing the ownership after death, but these are all things that need to be explored a little bit, after all, this is not something that can be discovered in a short time.
