Reversing fate from the signing of the contract

"Hercules?"

This name was the one that was familiar to Lan Xing and closest to the other party's name, and although Hercules didn't know why Lan Xing called his own name again, he still nodded.

But Lan Xing couldn't help becoming a little nervous while being surprised.

Before Lan Xing was ready to take over this firm to take over the training, his life was no different from that of ordinary people. His understanding of history and mythology basically came from various story books. Among them, he read a European and American "Hercules" when he was a child. S', ​​but that's about it.

I have no impression of the plot, but I know that if the man in front of me is really 'Heracles' as he said...

"Isn't Hercules a legendary half-god and half-human hero? Why did you appear here?"

Lan Xing didn't say anything else, that is, if he remembered correctly, the other party became a god after death, but because he didn't know what stage the 'Hercules' in front of him was, he didn't dare to leak information at will, so Just skip it and don't mention it.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Hercules showed an extremely sad expression after listening to his words.

Although Lan Xing skipped some things through his speech skills, it made the other party unconsciously make up his mind, and then connected with his desire to change his destiny, he mistakenly thought that Lan Xing was referring to being a half-human half-god. Why does he want to use the power of the other party to change his destiny.

"'Fate' is the most mysterious power. I have visited the three goddesses of fate and tried to use their power to change fate, but they told me that 'fate' is one of the most mysterious forces in the world. Even they can only Carefully spying on it, but unable to change it, because they can't resist the aftermath of changing fate..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Lan Xing again.

It was obvious that even now he still had doubts about Lan Xing's identity, so he couldn't help but test Lan Xing again.

Although Blue Star was not involved during this period, the meaning is already obvious.

"Even the three goddesses of fate dare not touch fate, are you sure you can really change fate?" '

But it's a pity that his behavior is simply winking to the blind. Blue Star has truly changed his destiny, so he has never doubted his own ability. With the magic of the 'system', as for the deeper issues, he has never thought about it at all, because he is not qualified to contact this information at all.

So at this time, Lan Xing paid more attention to the surface of what the other party said just now.

"I wonder what kind of wish could make a legendary hero willing to risk everything after death."

The client's self-reported family background, and the fact that the other party had visited the three goddesses of fate undoubtedly showed the other party's determination, so Blue Star also decided to let the conversation enter the next stage.

At the same time, he secretly became vigilant.

It wasn't that he was wary of the other party, it had been there from the very beginning, what really made him wary was the commission itself, after all, it was the commission that troubled the legendary demigod hero.

But to his surprise, when he spoke, the other party not only didn't answer his question, but said something he didn't expect.

"Although I don't know how you judged that I was 'dead', you said one thing wrong. I am not a 'half-human, half-god hero' in the true sense."

The one in front of you is a counterfeit?

And why did the other party blow themselves up?

Lan Xing was stupefied, but the other party didn't seem to see it at all, but let out an exclamation of unknown meaning.

"Human beings are amazing creatures..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because my appearance is due to human beings, they created a special magic ceremony, and through this magic ceremony connected with the 'Seat of Heroes', they invited me."

Hercules' words seemed to have nothing to do with the previous topic, but Lan Xing's expression gradually became serious, because his intuition told him that what the other party said next should be the key to the commission...

Chapter 23 The Mysterious Contract

The atmosphere in the store was a little tense because of mutual testing between Blue Star and Hercules.

But when the two of them finished testing each other, Blue Star invited the other party to sit on the sofa and talk with other clients.

At this time, it seemed that the two of them didn't care about the previous temptation, but as the conversation deepened, Ti Yayou, who was sitting by the side, clearly noticed the change in Blue Star.

For Ti Yayou, Blue Star always has a smile on her face, but she is serious during training and work, and this is all she knows about Blue Star.

Tiayo used to ask Eve about Lanxing's performance when he rescued her out of curiosity. Eve, who has no memory of the 'darkness' activation stage, naturally couldn't answer Tiayo's question. She just told her that when Lanxing found her I feel very warm.

So Tiayo has always been curious about what Blue Star was like in battle?

But now, as Lan Xing felt more and more oppressive, she gradually realized that the man who kindly protected herself and Eve, and talked and laughed, had a completely different side from usual.

Blue Star didn't deliberately create pressure on the people around him, but the problem was that while talking with Hercules, Blue Star was also collecting intelligence and sketching out the next action in his mind.

It's as if a predator is weaving a trap for its prey.

Lan Xing, who was usually alone, didn't notice his strangeness, but unexpectedly, a voice suddenly interrupted Lan Xing's meditation.

"Blue Star."

The slightly low, hoarse male voice interrupted Lan Xing's thinking, and suddenly woke up Lan Xing who was in a state of thinking with his hands folded and his elbows resting on his knees.

Lan Xing glanced at Hercules strangely, as if he didn't quite understand why the client called his name suddenly, but following his gaze, he found Tiayou and Eve who were a little nervous, they Even if he didn't know exactly what happened, he still realized that he seemed to have scared Tiayou and Eve just now.

He hurriedly sat up straight and nodded with a smile towards Eve and Tiaya who were sitting aside.

Seeing Lan Xing's smile, Tiayou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because this was the Lan Xing she was familiar with, and Eve even ran to Lan Xing's side unconsciously and grabbed his clothes.

Although the usual Eve seems to always have excess energy, but in fact, she has lived in the institute for so long and knows very well that she should not disturb Ti Yayou when she is working.

The same is naturally true for Blue Star.

Eve, who just felt that Lan Xing suddenly became a little strange, didn't want to disturb Lan Xing, and was afraid that Lan Xing would become a little strange again, so she simply decided to grab Lan Xing by the corner of his clothes to prevent him from 'disappearing'.

Eve's actions were a bit naive, and even Lan Xing didn't realize why the other party did this for a while, but seeing Eve's worried expression, he still felt the other party's inner thoughts, and couldn't help but pat the other party's head.

Obviously, he scared Eve before, but now feeling Eve's soft long hair in his hand, Lan Xing felt a little happy while blaming himself for some reason.

Of course he blamed himself for scaring Eve and Tiayou, but he was happy not because he liked to scare children, but because he realized something more truly through Eve and Tiayou—— I am not alone.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but thank Hercules.

"Thank you, Monsieur Hercules."

Thanks to Lanxing and Eve, Hercules didn't say anything, just nodded, but looked at Lanxing and Eve with a smile on his face, but I don't know if it was Lanxing's illusion, I always felt the other party's smile There is an unconcealable sadness in it.

But when he noticed Lan Xing's gaze, he quickly suppressed his emotions and continued talking as if he didn't care.

"You remember what I told you earlier, 'I'm not the real Hercules'?"

Seeing Lan Xing nodded, the other party continued to explain.

"The reason why this happened is because of that special magic ceremony. Those magicians also knew that it was impossible to get the heroic spirit out of the seat of the heroic spirit by relying on the magic ceremony alone, so they took a tricky method and actually passed the magic ceremony. A 'clone' with the memory of a heroic spirit and part of its power was summoned."

Speaking of which, Lan Xing already knew what the other party meant.

"That is to say, Mr. 'Hercules', you are the so-called clone, right?"

"You can understand that."

In fact, his situation is even more special, but after all, he doesn't know much about magic rituals, so he just briefly explained it based on his own situation.

It can be said that the information he gave was not completely accurate, after all, he deduced the information based on his own situation.

But it was enough for Lan Xing. After all, he was not a scholar, so he only had enough information.

Speaking of this, coupled with the introduction of the system mission, Blue Star already roughly knows what the next mission goal is.

Unsurprisingly, what Hercules said next was silenced again, and it seemed that the information about the 'entrusted target' was covered up as usual.

But even so, it was enough for Blue Star to extract several elements from the other party's words.

First, the task target can be found as long as the client is found;

Second, the entrustment needs to save the girl who was protected by the entruster;

Third, the enemy this time is probably more terrifying than any previous enemy.

Although Hercules has made it clear that the power he possesses is only a part of the real Hercules, the sense of oppression when the two tried each other before is real.

Considering the suppression of outsiders by the firm itself, Blue Star is almost certain that he will be the one who is so screwed up when he fights with the other party.

Yes, Blue Star is proud of his strength, but pride does not mean arrogance.

A truly qualified hunter is one who admits one's own shortcomings, recognizes the strength of the enemy, and works hard to surpass the enemy.

And this is exactly where he was puzzled.

Why is the task difficulty of facing an enemy who is stronger than the opponent and naturally stronger than himself is only C?

According to previous experience, C is life-threatening, and D is relatively safe. As for E's entrustment, he has not received it yet.

Even if you haven't received a higher-level mission, according to Blue Star's speculation, it should at least be a B-level mission, right?

But since the system gives such a task rating, it means that there must be other factors that can reduce the difficulty of the task.

Hercules said seriously the information that no one could hear, while Lan Xing watched the other party calmly trying to get enough clues from the obscured words.

After Hercules finished speaking, Lan Xing shook his head helplessly.

Unsurprisingly, although the information about Tairen himself was not obscured by fate, the information about the mission goal and the "future" was all obscured.

"It's the same as before..."

Lan Xing couldn't help but sighed softly, but he didn't have any intention of giving up.

After all, he was mentally prepared as early as the beginning.

When he saw Hercules looking at him, Lan Xing got up and walked towards the desk.

"Mr. Hercules, there are a few things I must remind you about your commission."

"Please say."

"First of all, even I can't promise you about changing fate. After all, you, as a 'half-human, half-god hero', should know how difficult it is to 'change fate'..."

Neither Hercules nor Tiayo, who was watching from the sidelines, thought that Lan Xing would say such words. After all, shouldn't Blue Xing keep emphasizing that he is omnipotent?

Just looking at Lan Xing's serious expression, Hercules smiled unconsciously.

It is precisely because Heracles has overcome difficulties that normal people cannot overcome countless times, that Hercules knows that nothing in this world is 'absolute', and even the seemingly immortal gods are still powerless in the face of the end of the age of gods .

If Blue Star really took care of him, he probably wouldn't believe it, but this kind of frankness won his approval, so he nodded.

After seeing the other party's reaction, Lan Xing continued.

"Secondly, Mr. Hercules, have you noticed my reaction when you were talking about the entrustment in the last period?"

Undoubtedly, Hercules nodded again this time.

Lan Xing's silence for the last period really made him very strange, but it was just that Lan Xing was thinking. After all, Lan Xing had a very serious expression at that time, so he didn't feel that Lan Xing was in a daze.

It's just that Lan Xing's next words made him a little at a loss.

"Actually, I didn't hear a word of what you said in the last period. Unsurprisingly, Eve and the others didn't hear either."

Having said that, Lan Xing glanced at Eve.

I don't know if it's because Lan Xing no longer exudes that dangerous and repulsive aura, or because Lan Xing's head-touching technique is so good that Eve no longer tugs on Lan Xing's clothes. On the contrary, he squinted his eyes and leaned on Lan Xing's waist, rubbing his head against Lan Xing's hand.

At this time, when Lan Xing suddenly mentioned himself, he was stunned for a moment, but he answered Lan Xing's question obediently.

"Uncle was so weird just now, he opened his mouth but didn't speak... Did I say something wrong?"

Hercules didn't think that Lan Xing would be bored with playing with him, but the addition of Eve's testimony showed the weirdness of the situation at that time, so he couldn't help asking Lan Xing.

"what on earth is it?"

"It's very simple, because 'fate' has covered up all the information related to the future. You want to entrust me to change your fate, but fate is not so easy to change. The covered up information is one of the obstacles... In fact, my I didn't remind you because I hope to find some more clues from your words, but it's a pity that all the information about the 'future' has been concealed."

Speaking of which, Lan Xing shook his head helplessly.

"Finally, it is about my strength. Although I think my strength is not weak, I should not be stronger than you. Although I can't know the details of the entrustment, it is not surprising that I will probably have to fight against the other party. I will do my best. Complete the commission with all my strength, but if I have to, I will give up the commission, after all...someone is waiting for me now."

Whether it's Hestia who I vowed to serve all the time, or Rem and Ram who are waiting for me to pick it up, or Sasha and Ino who are waiting for me to participate in the concert...

At this time, Lan Xing was no longer alone.

"If you can accept it, then I am willing to accept your commission."

Blue Star's frankness made Hercules full of doubts.

At this moment, all he could think about was 'why did the other party tell him this'?

In his opinion, Blue Star is definitely not that kind of dead-headed. Could it be that he hopes that he will voluntarily give up the commission?

Hercules couldn't figure it out no matter how he tried, so he chose the easiest way.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Sorry, I won't tell you until you answer my question."

At this time, Lan Xing changed his heart-pounding attitude and decisively rejected Hercules' question, while Hercules looked at Lan Xing frowning.
