Hell's Handbook

Chapter 316

The three old men exuded an air of authority by just sitting there. They were the top decision-makers of the country, so you could say that everything they said was the law. The country had advanced tremendously both in terms of its economy and its standing in the world because of the contributions of these three men.

Hello! Ive known your names and faces for a long time now, but this is the first time Im seeing the three of you! Su Jin smiled at the men. Nobody in China would dare to say they didnt know who these three were.

The Commander-in-chief looked at Su Jin and was struck by how this young man seemed to be as still as the waters of a pond, as lifeless as a dried-up well, and seemingly void of life, yet when he spoke, signs of life instantly sprung up and the old man felt like he was now facing a vast forest filled with all sorts of fascinating flora and fauna.

Young man, you must be someone extraordinary, since youre flanked by Yang, Situ, and Mr. Xu. What is your purpose in coming here? asked the Commander-in-chief with a smile. He looked very friendly and didnt put on any airs at all.

But Su Jin did not trust his friendly exterior. These three men were very intelligent people, so he believed that if they were to become owners, they would be able to rise up the ranks. These men were true experts in the game.

Nothing, really. The three of us just want some freedom. Freedom that cannot be curtailed by the law, said Su Jin calmly.

The three old men were stunned, then exchanged glances, then looked at Yang Tianzheng. Yang Tianzheng looked confused as well. He thought that Su Jin wanted to be pardoned for his rash act and maybe ask for a benefit or two. He didnt think Su Jin would ask for something as big as being allowed to be above the law.

Young man, how should I address you? asked one of the old men with a chuckle.

Su Jin, said Su Jin with a smile.

Mr. Su your request is a little too much to ask! No matter who you are, as long as you live in this world, you are part of society. While you enjoy the benefits that come with modern civilization, you also have the responsibility of upholding the laws within it. Im sure you understand that, dont you? said the Commander-in-chief slowly. He did not look the least displeased with Su Jins audacious request.

Su Jin nodded and replied, Of course I understand. But like you said yourself, when people enjoy the benefits that come with modern civilization, it becomes their duty to uphold the laws governing it. But thats only for ordinary people, isnt it?

The old man nodded and the way he looked at Su Jin became fiercer now. His voice was grim as he said, Thats why I need to remind you that regardless of whether youre a grandmaster in martial arts or youre a superhuman you may not be ordinary in this aspect, but to us, you are still an ordinary person.

Thats right. I agree with you, since some of those people are not at a very high level. Su Jin smiled. A silver glint flashed in his eyes and the three old men suddenly looked horrified.

They could see piles of dead bodies and extreme bloodshed. They could feel how powerful Su Jin was. That was a pressure they felt from deep inside their consciousness. Su Jin had only unleashed a small part of his psychokinesis and that was already enough to mortify these ordinary people. If he did not hold back, then he was a walking nuclear bomb. Anybody just standing next to him could lose their lives.

Within ten seconds, the three old men were covered in cold sweat. They wanted to scold Su Jin for using some illusion spell on them but they dared not say so. The three of them were intelligent and mentally resilient people, so they could vaguely sense that what they just saw wasnt some illusion. Otherwise, it wouldnt have had such a strong impact on them.

What what was that? asked one of them.

Thats the end of the world. The end of this world, replied Su Jin without hesitation. I dont want to waste time differentiating one from the other, and I dont really care if you dont agree to my request. But the future could very well go in this direction.

The three old men frowned. They looked toward Xu Ran and Situ Jin, and Situ Jin said, Gentlemen, I think that Ive worked hard all this time and all the time and resources spent on grooming me have not gone to waste. But I hope that you will be able to accede to Mr. Sus request, and also I would like to resign from the Department of Supernatural Affairs.

You want to resign? The three old men could hardly believe their own ears. They knew Situ Jins temperament well. Ever since he became the head of the Department of Supernatural Affairs, he had been passionate about his job and had carried out his duties well. Why did he suddenly want to resign?

Thats right, sirs, the world is not quite the same as what you think it is. There are some things you will understand only when you see it. Situ Jin didnt explain too much. It was true that he didnt have the time and energy to oversee the Department of Supernatural Affairs anymore. Since he wanted to become a god like Su Jin, then he had to focus on training himself in that direction and not distract himself with other duties.

One of the old men looked at Xu Ran and sighed. Mr. Xu what do you think?

Hoho, just like the two of them, I need that sort of freedom too. After all, I might do some very dangerous things in the future. If I dont tell you about it now, then things will become very troublesome when the time comes, said Xu Ran with a hearty laugh. His case wasnt the same as Situ Jins, though. He was seen as the guardian of the country, but unlike Situ Jin, he wasnt doing it because he had dedicated his life to guarding the nation. He just wanted a status that could allow him to do what he needed in the real world without being disturbed.

As for helping the government to maintain order, that didnt require a lot of effort, so he just treated it as part of his training. But now, things were different. The road to godhood had begun and he didnt want to waste his time on mundane matters. Concentrating on his training to become a god was what he wanted to do.

But when he saw that the three men were still hesitating, he said, I can see that you are all still very undecided on this matter. Since thats the case

A silver glint flashed in Xu Rans eyes as well. He was getting impatient now. Since the three were so difficult to convince, he was going to use his own methods to resolve this issue.

Xu Rans psychokinesis quickly left a mark in the minds of the three old men. They would immediately co-sign a document to indemnify the three of them and grant them the greatest freedom within the country.

Su Jin sighed. He thought this matter could be settled through negotiation. He didnt think that they would end up having to do it this way. After all, these were ordinary people who had no feud with Su Jin. He didnt want to use his psychokinesis like that on such people.

Well, you have to understand that this matter is a very troublesome one, and Im just trying to do away with some of it. Xu Ran smiled and shrugged. Coming with Su Jin to negotiate with the leaders was already a compromise to him. His idea was to just control the thoughts of the leaders directly and make them do what he wanted.

Su Jin just sighed and shook his head. He looked at Yang Tianzheng and Han Mengyao, then said with a sad smile, Since things have come to this, Im afraid you guys will have to suffer the same fate.

Before Yang Tianzheng and Han Mengyao could wrap their heads around what was happening, two beams of silver light shot out from Su Jins eyes. By the time they snapped out of their daze, Su Jin and the other two had already disappeared and meeting the three owners was no longer part of their memory. The two of them had come here because the three Commanders-in-chief wanted to co-sign a document and they needed to implement it. They had merely been distracted while the document was being signed.

Alright, go and get this done, said one of the old men as he passed a freshly drawn-up document to Yang Tianzheng.

Yang Tianzheng instinctively looked through the document and was shocked by what he read. He quickly said to the three leaders, Sirs, you must not allow this document to go out. By indemnifying them to this extent, it means that they cannot be punished by the law regardless of what they do. Thats insane!

Yang Tianzheng was practically shouting by this point, but the three Commanders-in-chief did not even bat an eye. They just looked calmly at Yang Tianzheng and said, Do not doubt our decision. Just go and get it done.

After he was certain that the three leaders werent joking, Yang Tianzheng had no choice but to leave in dismay and carry out the instructions in the document.

Once Yang Tianzheng had left, Su Jin and the other two reappeared in the room. Actually, they had never left at all. The vision of the three leaders and the two special police officers had been altered by psychokinesis. After they saw that things had gone the way they wanted, the three of them quietly left the office without saying anything. But Su Jin had already planted a wisp of psychokinesis inside the minds of the three leaders to prevent anyone from realizing that these three had once forgotten that they were the Commanders-in-chief and that they had signed a document with tremendous implications without realizing it.

Su Jin didnt take up too much of Situ Jin and Xu Rans time after they left Zhongnanhai, since they were all very familiar with one another already. He said to Xu Ran, Some things have happened recently, so I might visit you soon. I hope you wont refuse to see me!

Haha! Dont worry, the number of people who can hold a conversation with me are dwindling by the day, and you happen to be the one most qualified to do so. I might refuse to talk to others but Im definitely talking to you. Xu Ran spoke so animatedly, even Situ Jin took notice.

They bid each other farewell and Su Jin flew back to S City. He didnt bring the special police officers back with him, since they were now here on official business and their flight back would be paid for. They could just take this as a short holiday. He had already left some psychokinesis inside their minds which would give them a reasonable explanation for everything that happened. At the same time, if anybody who knew what happened that night came into contact with them, their memories would be erased. It had a similar effect to the one he planted in Tang Ning.

By the time he returned to his house, Su Qing had already fallen asleep, which was a good thing. She had taken a long flight here and so many things happened today. It was best that she took a good rest.

Meanwhile, a figure appeared in a vast void
