Chapter 384 Turning enemies into friends
The Tokyo Security Company training team came to Hancheng. Liangzi's team did not come, but Team 1 and Team 3 came. After seeing their actual shooting level, Li Ran arranged a bodyguard from Bodyguard B as the first phase of training instructor.

Li Ran's headache now is personnel. Each company can send two teams to the League Cup, with a maximum of five people in each team, but no matter the Zhendiu team or the Duancui team, each team has only three people. Compared with the first League Cup, the second League Cup is related to the company's status, honor and money. Although Ye Lan did not put pressure on him openly, Li Ran could certainly understand what Ye Lan meant. After working at Dayin Security for two years, this was the first time that Ye Lan had a clear requirement for his work: the goal was to be in the top three.

When he felt sleepy, someone brought him a pillow, and a visitor visited Li Ran.

Li Ran didn't know who the other party was, but he could tell that he was an expert. And the person who came was Ghost 03, who had already left Ghost and retired from the CIA.

03Sit down and get straight to the point: "I used to be a ghost, and I hope to join your League Cup team."

Li Ran was shocked but didn't show it on the surface. He asked, "Why?"

03 Answer: "I've put my entire fortune on the line."

Li Ran asked: "Do you want us to lose or win?"

03 turned on his phone, operated it a few times, and then put it in front of Li Ran. Li Ran took a look and saw that it was a dark lottery website he knew. 03 bet $300 million with odds of 1:7, betting on Dayin Anbao to win the championship. This money was a lot for Li Ran, but not very much. 03's income should not be just this much. After all, he had three incomes from official business, ghosts and flying kills, and the latter two were very considerable.

03 Seeing that Li Ran did not object immediately, he said, "Perhaps you can contact Cui Jian. I once worked with him to stop armed criminals in a mental hospital. I also know that you are short of people."

Li Ran asked: "Do you understand me?"

03 was stunned. What kind of question is that? So he answered, "I've heard of it."

Li Ran said, "You just heard of me, but you dare to place a bet first and then come to ask for a job? Are you sure I will agree? Of course we can cooperate, but you are full of lies and destroyed the atmosphere of our cooperation."

03 Answer: "I know Duanmu and Cui Jian."

Li Ran asked: "Because of a joint battle?"

03 Answer: "Because I fought with them in Zhoubao, two of us died, and I escaped by luck."

Li Ran was thinking, and 03 said: "I promise to fully cooperate with the work and follow the arrangements of the team captain before the end of the League Cup."

Li Ran picked up the phone: "Yiyi, come here."

Yiyi walked from the headquarters to the coffee table. Li Ran handed 03's phone to Yiyi and said to 03, "I can promise you, but I need to check your background first. If I find that you are betting on both sides or providing false information, you will be responsible for the time I wasted."

03 nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

Yiyi held her phone in her hand and asked, "Is there any sensitive information?"

03 answered: "No, I am a free man now, password is 123456."

Yiyi took her phone and left.

Li Ran said, "I've heard that Ghost 03 is a gambler, but this is the first time I've heard that he would go straight to the game."

03 He had only said that he was a ghost before. When Li Ran revealed his identity, he was not excited and explained: "Gambling can relieve my work pressure. Before, I was more interested in gambling than the benefits. Now I am retired. At my age, I can't do this job in the future. Even if I can kill people, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape. Moreover, without the help of the CIA, I will soon be out of touch with society and technology. Therefore, my goal this time is to make money. In order to win, I can work hard for you."

Li Ran said: "I can tell that you are being honest."

03 said: "Because I have no way out. Death is not scary, but poverty is really scary. I still have to live for a few more decades."

……

The nights in Xifeng Mountain were even colder, so Cui Jian was treated to hot pot, and Shengzi also lit an outdoor fire to make the two of them feel as comfortable as possible. Cui Jian didn't say he wanted to have a midnight snack, but Shengzi liked the feeling of having someone to accompany her, so she postponed dinner to a midnight snack. As a result, every time Cui Jian came, he would be treated by Shengzi.

Of course, Cui Jian always came here for something. This time, his purpose for coming to Xifeng Mountain was related to a Blood Moon Killer. Cui Jian said, "Although we only fought twice, I felt that he had the aura of my instructor."

Shengzi said, "You took office ten years ago, and your instructor passed away last year. There were nine years in between, which was enough time to train two more Quasi-Moonlights."

Cui Jian said: "According to the rules of the Seven Assassins, those who engage in industries such as assassins need to report to the butler. During the Bloody Christmas, one of the assigned to me is a quasi-earth day, one is a quasi-water day, and there is no quasi-moon day."

Shengzi opened the computer and searched the Zhunyueyao database according to the two vague data provided by Cui Jian, namely, 178 cm in height and 80 kg. The search results showed that there was one close target and three relatively close targets. However, Shengzi did not have the authority to find out who they were, and had to get the consent of the two-headed dog who was temporarily acting as the butler.

Shengzi edited the email and wrote down the situation in text and sent it to the two-headed dog. After the Bloody Christmas, cross-regional communications should use email instead of phone calls as much as possible, and video calls through APP are definitely not allowed.

Shengzi asked, "Cui Jian, how is the housekeeper selected?"

Cui Jian replied: "The position of butler is determined by a combination of data, recommendation and self-recommendation. First of all, it is data. The data includes various assessments during the youth training period, including psychology, logical thinking, personality and other aspects. People with my personality cannot pass the data test, so the position of butler is usually taken over by Hellhound." There is a rumor circulating in the Qi Sha circle: Mu Yao and Ri Yao are the smarter ones among the Qi Sha.

Cui Jian said: "The second step is nomination. Cerberus and Qi Sha each nominate a candidate. If I think there is no suitable candidate, I will not fill it out. Generally speaking, these two steps will produce a result. If there is only one person who is willing to serve as the butler, then he will be the new butler. If he is not willing, then we will settle for the second best candidate and let the second most suitable candidate take office. Assuming that there are three people and the data are relatively close, they will need to nominate themselves, similar to canvassing for votes in an election. The incumbent staff will vote again."

Cui Jian said: "Seven Killers has been without a housekeeper many times, the longest time was two years. In these two years, no cross-continental operations were organized, each region fought on its own, and the Hellhounds shared intelligence. For example, if the European Hellhounds needed to do something and were short of people, they would contact the Asian Hellhounds. This situation will lead to a consequence. Without supervision, some regions will have more extreme behaviors."

Shengzi asked: "Does that mean I can also compete for the position of housekeeper?"

Cui Jian looked at Shengzi for a while and said, "Okay. But you have to know that the reason why the butler is called a butler, not a leader, is because the butler is a service-oriented position, not a person in power, and his behavior is supervised by the hellhound. In addition, the butler also needs to know the scale of his actions. For example, I am hunting a target and deliberately kill a woman who is not the target because I subjectively believe that this woman has a close relationship with the target. How do you think the butler will punish me?"

Shengzi asked, "Usually the housekeeper wouldn't do that, right?"

Cui Jian nodded: "But this woman is only 12 years old?" Shengzi replied: "Warning, or let you find a wilderness and imprison yourself for a month." One of the rare punishments in Qi Sha.

Cui Jiandao: "Later, I learned that the woman was the target's illegitimate daughter."

Shengzi said: "I think you should still be punished. Your actions came first, and you learned the truth later. You should be punished for your actions."

Cui Jiandao: "From the photo, it is impossible to tell that this is a 12-year-old girl. It looks more like an adult woman. I judged based on the scene that she was an adult and had a close relationship with the target, so I killed her."

Shengzi thought for a while and said, "It seems that we don't have to pay for subjective mistakes, right?" There will be no punishment for violating the Seven Killings Charter due to misjudgment.

Cui Jiandao: "But subjective errors indicate problems with my abilities, not only my judgment ability, but also the intelligence gathering ability of the hellhound. In addition, there are many other problems such as my lack of patience. As a butler, how should you deal with this?"

Shengzi thought for a long time and then laughed: "Forget it, let's just eat hot pot."

Is that all? There is no way to settle the dispute between the two hellhounds in the future. After all, each member of the Seven Kills has his or her own understanding of the Seven Kills philosophy.
The two chatted for a while, and then the two-headed dog called.

The two-headed dog's acting housekeeper ordered that no phone calls should be made unless necessary, so Shengzi did not answer the call directly. Shengzi connected his phone to the computer, turned on the electronic sound, and took out a microphone the size of his little finger and gave it to Cui Jian, and took one for himself.

After getting ready, Shengzi answered the phone: "Hello."

The two-headed dog got straight to the point: "After you graduated, your instructor accepted two more students. One student had a genetic disease that broke out two years ago, and his physical condition did not match your description. The second student called himself Yue Tu, which means Yue Yao Disciple, and he was your instructor's last student."

The two-headed dog said, "The Bloody Christmas Project once recruited Moon Cultist, but he refused due to poor health. According to the registration information, he currently works for a Korean-Japanese joint venture trading company in Belgium and often travels between Europe, Korea, and Japan. The registration information was last updated a year ago."

The two-headed dog said, "If the person you met is a Moon disciple, then he has violated many of the Seven Killings' rules. In addition to removing him from the group, we also need to take one of his arms, the main arm. The purpose of the punishment is to prevent the killing ability we taught him from becoming a tool for him to make money. According to the steps, I should first inquire and investigate the matter. If he admits it and voluntarily hands over his main arm, he will no longer have any connection with the Seven Killings in the future. If he is unwilling to voluntarily hand over his main arm, we must kill him."

Two-headed dog: "But the problem is, if I conduct an investigation, your identity may be exposed. Therefore, I decided to only conduct routine inquiries." Routine inquiries are conducted from time to time to ask employees or non-employees about their emotional experience, physical condition, etc.

The reason why Yue Tu had to be punished was because Yue Tu had a choice. He could have learned from Han Ren and applied to quit Qi Sha. Qi Sha would not try to keep him or embarrass him. Yue Tu's mistake was that he became a professional killer without quitting Qi Sha and reporting to the police.

They are all killers, but they are different in nature. The main target of the Seven Killers is to execute the organization's purpose. The targets of the Moon Killers are varied, without any moral or religious constraints. Anyone from a hundred years old to a baby can be the target of a professional killer. Their goal is simply money.

Of course, before that, we must investigate whether Yue Tu has become a professional killer? Is the person Cui Jian suspects Yue Tu?
Cui Jian said: "This situation is not common."

The two-headed dog replied, "Yes, the last one was still Frost Blade, but he at least respected the organization, reported to the organization, and donated a sum of money to the Oath Orphanage every year. There are still cases of Frost Blade, but as far as I can remember, there has not been a case like Moon Cult. If everything is true, I can't understand his thoughts and mentality at all."

Cui Jian said: "I can understand. He doesn't want to work hard for Qi Sha and doesn't agree with Qi Sha's beliefs, but he is too shy to quit Qi Sha. This situation may be because his worldview has changed significantly since leaving the training camp."

Cui Jian said: "This man is a bit dangerous. If you need me, let me take care of him."

Two-headed dog: "We'll talk about it when the time comes. I'll investigate as soon as possible."

Cui Jian said, "Let me be honest. Most of the Seven Killers have some mental illness due to their childhood experiences. After they recover, they become ordinary people. Ordinary people care more about which belief can bring them benefits, not which belief is correct. Even if it is God, he has to send floods to scare the people and let them know that only by believing in him can they avoid disasters. It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid profit. It is just that we psychopaths cannot understand it."

"Haha." The two-headed dog was unable to complain and could only respond with a laugh, saying, "What's the progress on the housekeeper's matter?"

Cui Jian explained his deal with the Special Service Knights: "Duanmu can accompany Duolan to Japan, which means that Duanmu is a relatively important figure in the Knights. So I believe that the Knights will do their best to help us."

The two-headed dog said: "Accomplishing this will be a shot in the arm for Qi Sha. It will convey our strength to all parties and boost our morale. You prepare your work, and I will also make arrangements on my side. I think the man in straw clothes should contact me in the near future regarding the housekeeper." It has been confirmed that the man in straw clothes is the captain of the special service team.

Cui Jian ended the call, Shengzi put away the microphone and asked: "The Oath Orphanage has been fully taken over by the authorities, which means that the Seven Kills must get rid of the traditional model in the future."

Cui Jian said: "Shengzi, don't worry about the future fate of Qi Sha, because it will definitely be destroyed. It is enough for us to do our job well. During the Giant Whale Operation, when the Plum Blossom Island was first attacked, the housekeeper mentioned the matter of the Oath Orphanage. It is a good thing for those children to be taken over by the government. At least in the past few years of taking over, the government will provide good resources for the Oath Orphanage for the sake of face and to win people's hearts."

Shengzi nodded.

Cui Jian asked: "Xifeng Mountain is remote and desolate, do you have any plans to move?"

Shengzi shook her head: "I think Xifeng Mountain is very good. The only drawback is that there are tourists from time to time." As an adult, Shengzi can restrain and control her emotions. In fact, except for Cui Jian and other members of the Seven Killers, she is wary of most people. As for why, that is Shengzi's story. Cui Jian and others never ask each other what they have experienced.

Shengzi changed the subject: "I heard that someone took over Meihua Island. I checked and found that under the leadership of the government, a real estate company under the Li family invested in the acquisition of the development rights of Meihua Island."

Cui Jian asked: "What's wrong?" Since it's normal, what's there to say?

Shengzi said: "The developer plans to build Meihua Island into a villa community. According to the developer's plan, they will offer very favorable prices in the first wave of sales. This wave of houses is all in the southwest, where the original villa area was. Koreans are relatively superstitious, and the developer's goal is to absorb this piece of land with countless deaths by attracting popularity."

Cui Jian asked: "Do you want to buy it?"

Shengzi nodded: "I secretly looked at the design drawings. Facing the sea, with flowers blooming in the spring, the house is also very beautiful. If the price is not expensive, I would like to buy one."

Cui Jian asked: "Do you have money?"

Shengzi said, "I have a job, I can get a loan."

Cui Jian said: "I can give you one, but it's a bit troublesome to operate." If there is a large amount of money transfer record between them, it may threaten their safety in the future. However, Shengzi said that he likes Xifeng Mountain and the villa on Meihua Island. What does Shengzi like?
Shengzi: I like beautiful houses and I like living alone. There is no conflict, right?
