Three years ago, in the wedding room, Tang En, who had been waiting for Becky to come for a long time, entered the killer system in boredom. This was his first time since the battle of the Temple General Association...

As expected, as soon as Put enters the ear, it is a series of systematic synthesized sounds.

"Ding, get five points of blood and energy..."

"Ding, get ten points of blood and energy..."

"Ding, get two thousand five hundred points of blood and energy..."

...

Ding ding ding ding jingle sounds endlessly. With the Tang En system, the blood level is getting higher and higher. Ordinary people, such as imperial soldiers, temple guards and other dead supporting roles, will give him less and less blood value, and some of them are almost nothing. Killing means not killing, which is really boring. Even the value of Winsling, who has entered the threshold of empty level, has been greatly reduced, from the fruitful results of tens of thousands of points before, it has become a few small and a few thousand flavorless chicken ribs now, with a clear gap.

Of course, characters like the Pope and the eldest prince are quite powerful. Although the former is easily awarded the head by Tang En, and the latter is even more powerful, the blood and energy obtained after killing them is much higher than that of Winslin. This is because both of them have the effect of power bonus, and they are both protected by millions of people, so the difficulty of assassinating them cannot be generalized by their strength. It is reasonable to gain such a lot.

In addition, killing these two, especially the former Pope, brings more than just blood and energy to Tang En...

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the long-term mission, at dusk of light - overthrowing the Temple of Light and collapse of faith!"

"Get 50,000 experience points and the system is upgraded."

"Receive the Medal of Honor. Lord of Darkness!"

...

Don was stunned for a moment. Stepping into the system space, he was stunned.

Don't get me wrong. The reason for being shocked is not because of the system reward. Tang En had already wanted to retire at this time. In this way, no matter how generous the system rewards were, it would not be very attractive to him.

He was shocked by the sight that he saw before him.

The lonely stars, the green moon half hanging, and under the deep and dark background, a beautiful ball, half blue and half yellow, quietly hangs in the air. It seems to have existed since ancient times, mysterious and distant...

The system space background can change with the old housekeeper's wishes. Tang En naturally knew that he had seen woods, beaches, luxury manor halls, and even hospitals here before, and it was not surprising. But this time it was different, because most of the sea water and the smallest part was a ball of land. For him, he was so familiar with it. He felt a long-lost sense of intimacy in his heart.

"Earth..." Tang En came back to his senses and shook his head. He looked at the old butler, "If the system does not read the function of my memory... the old butler. I admit that you are not smart npc anymore."

The old housekeeper replied calmly: "Of course I am not, I have already answered this question."

"But you never explained it in detail."

"That's because the time has not arrived, and it's useless for you to know...want to know?"

With his body shaking slightly, Tang En raised his eyebrows: "It's time now?"

"It depends on your choice." The old butler glanced at Tang En with a deep meaning, then waved his hand to summon a transparent light curtain, "The blasphemer, the thousand-person killer, the scammer, the big-name butcher, and the dark master who has just been won... Remember, what I told you before, when you collect five medals, you can ask the system for a reward, now..."

After a moment of pause, pointing to the light curtain with three options silently appearing beside you, "It's time for you to choose to collect."

Tang En did not go to see the transparent light curtain, but shook his head: "Old butler, I'm going to retire, so let's forget about rewards or something."

The old butler looked unmoved: "Then he said about retirement, make your choice first."

Tang En was stunned when he heard this, then shrugged indifferently, raised his hand and pointed at the light curtain, ready to choose one at will, but the first option that Yu Guang could not help but let his arm suddenly break in the air.

"Go back? What does this mean?"

"You should be able to understand."

After being stunned, Tang En took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, looking at the old housekeeper with a calm expression and asked again: "Please choose this, can I return to the original world? I am present?"

The old housekeeper did not answer directly, but just asked, "Would you like to go back?"

After opening his mouth, Tang En remained speechless.

Would you like to go back? Nonsense, Tang En dreamed of going back, but that was limited to the past...

If he had given Tang En this opportunity a year ago, or even half a year ago, although he would have hesitated, he thought at least 60% would have chosen to go back because that was his familiar world and his parents and relatives there... But now it's different. He is about to get married here, and he has children, and he has become a father himself.

In this way, how can he make a decision?

After a while of silence, Tang En suddenly looked up: "Can you take the others back?"

This is undoubtedly the best of both worlds, but unfortunately the old housekeeper shook his head ruthlessly: "You are the only host of this system, and you will naturally be alone if you want to go back."

The expected answer made Tang En even more confused and helpless. After a pause, he sighed and swept to the other two options casually, the Beidou Star Killing Technique, and the body incarnation...

"What are these two? Skills?"

This time it was the old housekeeper's turn to remain silent. Tang En seemed surprised that the former was just spreading his hands: "The system stipulates that you can only choose yourself, and others cannot interfere."

"I can't explain the meaning? Well, it's really not possible? Isn't this forcing me to fool around?" Seeing the old housekeeper hanging his hands and making a promise, Tang En couldn't help but smile bitterly, and shook his head helplessly, "It seems that we can only use the elimination method..."

There is no doubt that the Beidou Star Killing Technique was the first to be ruled out. There is no other reason, just because it looks more like a skill, a killing skill. And now, the least needed skill is this skill. Then, the body incarnation, huh, should be a body skill, it doesn't seem to be needed. But Go back to the corner...

It should have been a very tangled choice, but in fact, Tang En almost didn't think about it. In just over ten seconds, he reached out to touch the center light curtain: "I choose to be an exterior incarnation."

"Sure?"

"Confirm!" A moment of pause, Tang En glanced at the corner of his mouth, a little bitter. "There is no choice, right?" There is really no choice. As long as you can make a decision not to go back, after excluding the Beidou Star Killing Technique, the rest is the external incarnation that seems to be a body skill.

The choice is casual, but who can know the confusion in Tang En's heart? He has a feeling that if he fails to seize this opportunity, he will be destined to be out of the way to return to the original world in this life... In this way, it is naturally a lie to say that he has not struggled in his heart. But Tang En does not regret this choice!

He is no longer the single foreigner who just came to another world. Here, he has a lot of friends, brothers, relatives, children... and has concerns and sustenance. So he can't go back...

But when he was relieved when he made a decision, Tang En did not notice the rare and complicated expression of the old housekeeper in front of him, and was relieved, happy, and relieved... He seemed to have also breathed a sigh of relief. After a flash, he returned to his original poker face.

He waved his hand to disperse the light curtain and said in a low voice: "Since you have made a choice, let's talk about retirement next. Well. Do you know what retirement means to killers?"

Tang En frowned: "Can you not let this system get rid of it?" This is the main reason why Tang En refused to enter the system after he had the idea of ​​retirement. The cold machinery system is not an old housekeeper, it has no idea of ​​likes and dislikes, and there is no room for negotiation. If it randomly throws out a task that cannot be completed and erased, then Tang En will never want to live a stable life in his life... Fortunately,

The old housekeeper waved his hand: "Retirement or not has nothing to do with the system, it is just a platform to cultivate killers."

Tang En couldn't help but be happy when he heard this: "I'm going to retire, but the system won't come out to stop me?"

"No." The old housekeeper replied surely, then spread his hands calmly, "The premise is that you have to kill me."

Silence, cold.

After a while, "...Haha, this joke is not funny, really!" Tang En was frightened, completely, so after being stunned, his expression was unprecedentedly serious!

"I never joke, this is the fact." The old housekeeper still looked calm and calm, but Tang En hated this calm and calm now. "The killer is a path of no return. As long as he sets on, there are very few people who can get a good end..."

He interrupted roughly, "Go to the killer! There are very few go to the killer!" Tang En stared at the old housekeeper, staring at the teacher and friend who taught him and accompanied him in another world for several years. He pulled his neck and collar and said hurriedly, "What you said just now, the system will not stop me from retirement!"

"The system will not stop you from retirement, but the system cannot be without a guide." The old butler's mouth raised slightly, and there was a rare smile. "Just as you often say, if the system is regarded as a game, it doesn't matter if the player comes and goes, but NPC like me is indispensable after all."

The metaphor is very vivid and easy to understand. Tang En immediately subconsciously continued when he heard this: "Then you just keep making NPC... Isn't it better to be an old housekeeper?"

He shook his head and sighed regretfully, "I let you read more books in your daily life. After a few years, your IQ still seems to have not improved much... You are going to retire. If the game loses players, why do you need the existence of NPC?"

The old butler explained the truth in one sentence, then spread his hands, "For the current plan, there are only two feasible methods. First, you kill me, get rid of the control of the system, and successfully retire. Second, I kill you, and then the system chooses to choose a host to come in and continue to cultivate the killer."

A choice! See another choice!

From choosing one of three to choosing one of two, it seems to be less difficult, but in fact it is even more entangled. Or in other words, it is impossible to make a choice...

Moreover, the old housekeeper obviously did not give Tang En time to consider the reaction. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his hand and showed his dagger. He looked at Tang En who was stunned with calm eyes and said indifferently: "Take it. No one wants to die if he can live, I will not hold back, and you don't need it."

The murderous intent came out, and Tang En subconsciously took three steps back in a row when he saw this, and obviously looked panicked that he had not come back to his senses: "Wait, wait, I need time to consider this matter, and I will talk about it later..."

I said it would be a future, but Tang En had already planned to go out and never enter the system space in his life. Even if he couldn't retire, he would do whatever he wanted. He would do something with the old housekeeper? Don't joke! Although in terms of strength... well, this is not a matter of strength at all. Tang En couldn't accept it, nor could he imagine treating the old housekeeper as an enemy, never!

"You are escaping!" The old housekeeper frowned when he saw this and said in anger. "Do you still don't understand? You are a killer. You should kill the spirit and destroy the spirit. Where the dagger is, you will move forward and escape? How long can you escape?"

"You can't control how long you can escape." This is just a scoundrel...

"Get out the knife! Otherwise you will die!"

"Die it if you die. If you have the ability, come and kill me. I really don't believe it... Damn!" The blade light flashed and Tang En narrowly flashed to the side, touching a wisp of blood on his face, and suddenly became furious. "Do you do it? Old butler, you are really fucking?! Damn you..."

Tang En got angry, very angry. He felt that I was betrayed by the moon, but the moon shining on the ditch. Originally, even if your old housekeeper was going to do something regardless of the mercy, he would have to say a few lines. Everyone hesitated and hesitated unwillingly, and finally forced to do something. This would be reasonable. But what is the meaning of you now being so decisive?

"Okay, shut up!" interrupted the old butler happily put away the dagger, "I'm kidding."

"Whatever you say doesn't work... Uh? Just kidding?" After coming back to his senses, Tang En was completely stunned, "You, you... are you lying to me?" He looked incredible, and then he furious again, "You, don't you say you never joke?"

"I am a killer, what's so strange about lying to achieve my goal." Compared to Tang En, who was almost played to collapse, the old housekeeper was still calm. "Besides, what I said before is not considered lying to you, the system regulations are like this. It's just that if you choose an incarnation outside, everything will become different."

Don't be angry! I'm not angry... Tang En took a long deep breath, forcibly suppressed the urge to slam the poker face in front of him, and asked, "How is it a different method? The body incarnation... isn't it a body skill?"

"Who told you that this is a body skill?" The old housekeeper seemed to spread his hands innocently, "This is the supreme magical power..."

...

The old housekeeper's detailed explanation finally made Tang En understand everything.

First of all, the old housekeeper did not lie to him. If Tang En wanted to retire, there were only those two ways to choose from.

Kill the old housekeeper, or be killed by the old housekeeper.

But after Tang En chose to incarnate externally, everything was different. This was indeed a magical power, which could transform into a clone exactly the same as Tang En. In this way, those two seemingly crazy options would have loopholes to exploit - the system cannot be without the existence of a guide, but this guide may not necessarily be the old housekeeper, or it can be... Tang En! Anyway, he now has a clone, so he can retire the main body and become the guide of the system.

As for the original guide, the old housekeeper, he was of course a natural retirement just like Tang En's original body. After all, he had completed his mission and successfully cultivated a killer like Tang En, which made a perfect explanation for the system.

Note that it is retirement, not destruction.

This topic involves the existence of the old housekeeper. He is indeed not a smart NPC, but a clone. As for the original body, they are living people like Tang En, all from the earth, and they are all captured by the system for no reason.

The difference is that the old housekeeper is a top killer in this world, so after he was arrested, he became a system guide. And Tang En, a little rookie, naturally could only be a hard-working host...

Oh, there is another point. The system can only have one guide, so after Tang En took office, the old housekeeper who successfully retired was destined to leave.

Farewell is always a difficult thing to be happy about, but compared to the difficult choices that either you die or I live before, it is undoubtedly much better. So when the countdown to parting comes, both Tang En and the old housekeeper surprisingly don’t have much sadness.
To be continued...
