The First Gospel Chapter 1: This World is Too Dangerous
"At 10 p.m., an employee of a company in the southwest city fell to his death. This is the fifth fall from a building this month. The incident is still under further investigation. Please pay attention to safety and try to avoid going out at night."
Tonight's breaking news is playing on the phone.
The current time is displayed at the top of the screen.
12 o'clock in the morning.
The last wave of police went back just after 11 o'clock.
Gu Yun stood on the top of the sealed-off building and looked around. The streets were filled with "pedestrians" coming and going.
Humans are accustomed to calling these "pedestrians" ghosts.
The next moment, the platform beneath his feet shook violently, and the rising red smoke instantly condensed into a human figure that covered the sky and the sun.
The giant palm simply held out in front of him, and the entire building began to collapse to one side.
When the red mist suddenly appeared, the "pedestrians" on the street fled in all directions, and even unconscious spirits would instinctively avoid threats.
The human figure's facial features were twisted together, making it look like it was both crying and laughing.
“I smell it!”
“I smell it!”
"The breath of the same kind!"
The humanoid figure leaned down frantically and put its head in front of Gu Yun.
As soon as it opened its mouth, a hurricane was created, accompanied by a fishy smell.
This is……
What a dangerous world!
Gu Yun thought as he looked at the flagpole that was blown away.
Although the news gave a rational explanation for the series of falls from buildings, if an ordinary person encountered such a monster, he would probably have no chance of survival.
When he thought of ordinary people, he couldn't help but think of his sister who was still in high school.
Although the southwest urban area is half a city away from the school, she will not pass by here on her way home from school.
but……
There is always a chance of something happening!
What if my sister took the wrong bus after class.
In case the bus driver gets lost.
What if the bus driver is a bank robber in disguise?
What if the bus driver invited her to the rooftop to get some fresh air?
What if this evil spirit was also a bus driver in his previous life?
…
Thinking of all these possibilities, Gu Yun couldn't calm down for a long time.
All threats must be nipped in the bud!
"You want to challenge me?"
The human figure's other hand was in a clenched fist position suspended above Gu Yun's head.
The rolling red fog was like a dark cloud covering the moon, and everything around was plunged into darkness in an instant.
"You are overestimating yourself! Listen carefully, I am the embodiment of fear in this city! The source of all terror!"
A heavy punch landed.
…
12:35.
"Report, confirmed!"
"No suspicious persons were found."
"As expected of you, you are the ace of City X. You ended the battle before we arrived!"
The broken roof looks like the devastation left after a fierce battle.
The woman stood under the bright moon, holding a silver sickle in her right hand that was much taller than her, her long black hair fluttering in the wind.
She ignored the belated employees and scanned every crack .
This is not the first time.
Once again, the battle was over before they arrived.
Only some red residue was left on the ground, and it was impossible to tell who killed the evil spirit.
Perhaps this city is more dangerous than people imagine.
Even evil spirits of this level can be killed without warning.
…
Gu Yun returned home as usual, took off his sneakers and changed into old slippers with a tear in them.
The light bulb in the porch flickered and looked like it could go out at any moment. There was little decent furniture in the living room, and the legs of the few chairs were added later, because the furniture he bought at the second-hand market usually broke after a short time.
This is a rental house that even thieves might not be willing to patronize.
Gu Yun put his sneakers on the shoe cabinet and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although the battle just now was not painful for him, the evil spirit was just a little bit away from threatening his sister's safety.
If this trend continues, it will definitely become a huge hidden danger within thirty years.
It was a close call.
The world is full of malice towards ordinary people.
Abnormal creatures like evil spirits have special skills, and each of them wants to destroy a building with one punch.
In comparison, humans have to use all their strength to lift a 200 kg barbell.
It's really too weak.
Gu Yun’s wish now is that his sister can grow up healthy and happy in this dangerous world.
But even this small wish is full of difficulties and obstacles.
Because his sister is too weak.
I can't even lift a 100kg barbell.
If this continues, not only will we not be able to protect ourselves from evil spirits, but even armed bandits and terrorists will become a threat that cannot be ignored.
The falling incident in City X gave Gu Yun an unprecedented sense of urgency.
So he knocked on his sister's door with a serious expression.
Anyway, let’s set 100 kg as our goal.
"Tiantian, come out for a while, it's time to start strength training."
Boom boom boom——
Dongdong——
When he knocked ten times with perseverance, his sister's scream was finally heard in the room.
"What time is it! Bro, I have a monthly exam tomorrow!"
"Listen to me, the monthly exam is a small matter, but personal safety is a big matter. The frequency of evil spirit activities has increased recently, and you have to learn a trick or two to defend yourself."
"Oh my god! Can you ever get better from your chuunibyou?!"
"Come out first. I have made a short-term training plan for you. After a period of training, although it is still difficult to fight against evil spirits, it will definitely be no problem to knock down a few robbers."
Gu Yun spoke earnestly.
Before he finished speaking, the sound of aggressive footsteps was heard in the room.
Gu Tiantian, wearing loose pajamas and barefoot, opened the door with a fierce look on his face.
However, in less than a second, the bedroom door was slammed shut again.
"It stinks! Did you fall into a garbage dump?"
"Don't get me wrong, this is what was left over from the fight with the evil spirit."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! Don't mention evil spirits anymore!" Gu Tiantian behind the door raised his voice again, "If you keep saying these nonsense, I will live in the school dormitory starting tomorrow!"
Live on campus!
Gu Yun felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue.
He never expected that his sister's dislike for him had reached such a serious level.
For female high school students, living in school dormitory is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Does this girl really prefer to die than live with me?
Gu Yun felt extremely lost.
He has always treated Gu Tiantian as a treasure, but he didn't know when the relationship between the brother and sister began to crack.
Now that I think about it, it must have been since the day he bought dumbbells for Gu Tiantian and told her that evil spirits are real that his sister started looking at him with a strange look in her eyes.
But this is really a last resort.
He can't be with Gu Tiantian 24 hours a day.
It’s not like Gu Yun hasn’t tried it before.
When he went to school with his schoolbag to attend class with , Gu Tiantian was not surprised. Instead, his face turned red. The head teacher and the security guard drove him out of the campus and warned him not to go near the school except for parent-teacher meetings.
So, in desperation, Gu Yun could only pin his hopes on Gu Tiantian himself.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
As long as Gu Tiantian is trained to become the strongest human being, those evil spirits should not be able to hurt her.
However, his efforts made Gu Tiantian's attitude towards him increasingly strange.
Could it be that……
My sister has started to hate him?
No.
This is absolutely impossible.
Gu Yun immediately dismissed this unrealistic idea.
Tiantian that child...
It must be the rebellious stage.
Yes, that must be the case.
