The First Gospel Chapter 10 Partners
It was already past nine o'clock when they left An Ling's house. When saying goodbye, An Ling added her cell phone number to Gu Yun's contacts.
Gu Yunwan rejected the other party's suggestion to add WeChat because he had not used WeChat for many years.
Ever since he was cheated out of 300 yuan by a girl selling tea, he has classified WeChat as a scam software.
Although this was the first commission he had ever taken on, there was almost no fierce fighting throughout the process. Instead, he even had a meal of salty beef stew with potatoes at someone else's house in the evening.
The process was not quite what Gu Yun had imagined, but he did not reject this relaxed and leisurely feeling.
The only regret was that An Ling hadn't figured out how to let his sister go with him to practice under the waterfall.
After taking the elevator to the ground floor and pushing open the old iron security door, Gu Yun suddenly stopped.
A middle-aged man stood in front of him, and Gu Yun recognized him at a glance.
"Oh, you're the one from yesterday... the one... the one in the subway station... the one..."
The two looked at each other for a moment and fell into silence at the same time.
"Seriously, what's your name?"
History always repeats itself in a surprising way. Gu Yun realized that he was walking too fast and didn't have time to ask the other person's name.
"Wang Lu."
The middle-aged man held his forehead with his hand and said, "Not only did you not ask my name, you also didn't tell me where your home is."
This doesn't look like they are going to join forces to do something big.
Fortunately, Wang Lu remembered the grudge between Watson and Holmes, and was instantly possessed by the spirit of a detective. He first asked the consultant on duty at the subway station for the address of An Ling's home, and then he lay in wait for a day before finally waiting for Gu Yun's arrival.
"I just want to ask you one thing today."
Wang Lu had a solemn expression.
"Um?"
"Are you serious about what you said to me yesterday? About...wiping out the evil spirits in City X."
"certainly."
The wish itself would not change, the only detail that changed was that he intended to earn some money from it. When he thought about how he had killed so many evil spirits in deserted corners in the past, Gu Yun felt that he had lost a lot.
"It seems I found the right person."
Wang Lu felt relieved. He had already made up his mind that if Gu Yun changed his mind, he would find an ordinary job and completely cut off the idea of coming into contact with supernatural events.
"When will the work start? Where will the work be located?"
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Gu Yun shook his head blankly.
“Any preliminary ideas?”
"No."
"Where is the client? There must be someone who issues the commission, right?"
"Oh, someone asked me to help her hunt an ancient dragon today, but unfortunately I failed."
After hearing this, the two fell into a long silence again.
"Let me ask you a little bit, how did you determine the location of evil spirits in the past?"
“Weibo News.”
Gu Yun said without hesitation.
Just like the series of falling incidents in City X this time, when the unsolved case makes the headlines, it is very likely that evil spirits will be encountered at the scene.
Don't underestimate the news headlines. Based on Gu Yun's past experience, he has a 33.33% chance of finding signs of evil spirits at the crime scene.
There is another 66.67% chance of being treated as a suspicious person and "invited" for tea.
"Seriously, you're not a fraud, are you?"
If Wang Lu hadn't seen Gu Yun kill an evil spirit with his bare hands yesterday, he might have been ready to call the police.
His abilities are more or less related to the supernatural, so in his early years he met several friends who claimed to be engaged in exorcism. They had electronic equipment that could detect ghost radio waves, and there were also people who claimed to have clairvoyance. However, he was the only one who relied on Weibo news to exorcise ghosts.
"Why would I lie to you? It is precisely because I realize that a person's knowledge is limited that I come here to look for help."
Gu Yun was indeed aware of the limitations of Weibo news, but he couldn't think of a better solution.
You can't just walk down the street and grab anyone and ask them if they've seen an evil spirit, right?
"I think I understand."
Wang Lu took a deep breath. "That is to say, you have no intelligence sources, no regular customers, and you don't even know where to find evil spirits, right?"
“You summed it up very well.”
Gu Yun gave a thumbs up - he actually summarized his current life situation in such a short time, it seems that the helper he found is really capable!
Wang Lu stared at Gu Yun's thumb with dull eyes. He felt his eyes were deeply hurt.
This was totally different from what he had imagined!
In his imagination, Gu Yun was a prominent figure in the industry. By cooperating with him, he would not only become famous immediately but also earn a large sum of money.
Now it seems that this guy is just like him, a complete shut-in!
" Don't you have any idea at all?"
"Yes, I decided to make a lot of money!"
Gu Yun nodded solemnly and told Wang Lu the decision he made after meeting An Ling.
“But you have no way to make a lot of money!”
"That's why I need your help."
“You, me, you…!”
Wang Lu was speechless for a moment.
No, if he knew how to make a lot of money, would it still be Gu Yun’s turn?
At this moment, he finally recalled the fear he felt yesterday at noon - he was not mistaken!
Although this young man is super strong, he is a fool!
He was also caught by the subway station security and interrogated for an entire afternoon!
but……
Wang Lu stopped his negative thoughts. Although Gu Yun was simple-minded, he had an obvious advantage.
This guy seems to be particularly good at fighting!
Although the evil spirit didn't have the chance to show off its abilities yesterday, it looked like it was no pushover, but Gu Yun drove it away without even blinking an eye.
"If you want to make money, it's not impossible."
Wang Lu's mentality had undergone a subtle change. It seemed that he had positioned himself too humbly before. The relationship between him and Gu Yun was not that of a boss and a subordinate, but that of equal partners.
It's just like……
SpongeBob to Patrick!
He found the client through connections, and Gu Yun exorcised the evil spirit, and then the two of them split the money.
Because of his extraordinary abilities, he has accumulated some connections over the years. Since those exorcists who died tragically on the streets in the past can find jobs, why can't he?
Wang Lu may not be good at anything else, but he is quite confident in his eloquence.
"Your previous method of finding evil spirits was inefficient, and you couldn't get any reward. From now on, let me handle this matter, but we have to split the reward in half."
"no problem!"
Gu Yun agreed decisively.
To be honest, although he has decided to become a bounty hunter, getting along with others is his weakness. Neighbors always look at him strangely and talk behind his back.
It would probably be very difficult to communicate with the client.
In the past, when living in the village, it was usually the elders who gave the orders.
He would beat whoever the elders told him to beat, and would not beat anyone unless the elders told him to.
"That's settled then . Leave me your contact information, and I'll contact you as soon as I find a commission."
