The First Gospel Chapter 34: Lucky Rabbit's Foot (I)

During the few days when there were no commissions, Wang Lu was not idle. This was the first time in his life that he wanted to take a job seriously. More importantly, everything was closely related to the mastermind behind the city's legend and his future destiny.

"In the past few days, I have looked up a lot of information and made some discoveries."

Wang Lu said as he ate , "For example, the evil spirit we encountered when we first met came from an urban legend called 'The White-robed Female Ghost'. Although the source of the legend can no longer be found, you should have heard of it. It is about a female ghost with dishevelled hair that someone encountered while driving on the road in the middle of the night."

The information available on the Internet was mixed, so Wang Lu also verified the authenticity of the information with the "consultant" they hired.

The legend of "The White Ghost" has been used in many movies, with some modifications, to create different versions.

"In Shen Yue's words, the original female ghost in white was just a ghost who couldn't let go of her obsession after death, but later, as her influence continued to expand, it became a supernatural phenomenon."

Since An Ling was present, Wang Lu did not elaborate on Shen Yue's explanation.

The female evil spirit they encountered at the subway station was not the source of the "White Ghost" legend, but a "substitute" created after being harmed by the evil spirit.

Therefore, if they were not there at the time, An Ling would have become the next "female ghost in white" after falling onto the railway tracks, until she met the next "substitute" who could resolve her obsession.

"Ghouls come from Arabian legends, and later on there were many different versions. The more popular one is that ghouls were originally humans. For various reasons, they ate human flesh and were cursed with blood and flesh. The curse caused them to be forever hungry... How about it? Doesn't it look like what we saw at the time?"

After that incident, Wang Lu suffered nightmares for several days.

"Hey! You two should stop it, there are girls here!"

An Ling got goosebumps all over her body after hearing what Wang Lu said. Although she is a game geek, she would never play horror games.

She has lived alone since graduating from college. Not to mention horror games, even horror novels or comics with some horror elements would keep her awake at night.

So what An Ling hates most is when someone suddenly posts a scary picture in a group chat!

It’s super scary, okay!

And now, this uncle actually came to someone else's house early in the morning and told horror stories as if nothing had happened!

She vented her anger on the bun in her hand and took a vicious bite.

"Are you scared? But have you ever thought about what the buns you are eating now are made of?"

Wang Lu suddenly turned to An Ling with a gloomy expression and a low voice.

"It's meat filling. I can taste it."

Wang Lu: …

An Ling: ...

An Ling looked at the other person with eyes that showed concern for empty-nesters. "You bought it at the morning market downstairs, right? I often buy one on my way to work."

A bun costs only 1.5 yuan, which is the best choice for cheap and delicious food.

This unscientific!

In this kind of atmosphere, shouldn't An Ling scream and throw herself into the arms of the man closest to her?

Gu Yun had sat back on the sofa before, and therefore missed the opportunity to compete with him on the same stage.

"Well, I was just joking."

An Ling continued to eat her buns - thanks to Wang Lu, who didn't look very smart, the terrifying atmosphere that had accumulated just now disappeared without a trace.

"What about this time? What's the origin of that rabbit?"

Gu Yun asked.

"As early as in Celtic legends, people believed that some rabbits could bring luck to people. Celts, have you heard of this?"

Wang Lu asked in a mysterious way.

"Yes, one of the three major barbarian tribes in early Europe."

An Ling once again successfully saw through Wang Lu's trap.

Because settings like Celtics and Vikings have long been prevalent in games.

"Very good, An Ling, please don't answer questions from now on."

Wang Lu's face did not look good. Was he the only one among those present who replied to Shen Yue, "Is there any legend of the Lakers?"

A few seconds later, Shen Yue sent him a question mark.

He looked at Gu Yun, who looked normal.

That’s right!

Not to mention the three major barbarian tribes in Europe, even NBA Gu Yun had never heard of it.

So he knows nothing about the Celtics in history or the current basketball team .

It can be seen from this that setting a trap is ineffective for people who know nothing.

"But not all rabbits can bring luck to people. This legend was later perfected in North American legends. In addition to the type of rabbit, a wizard who is proficient in black magic is also needed to cast the spell."

The atmosphere in the room was quite strange, and Wang Lu could only bite the bullet and tell the clues he got from Shen Yue.

After leaving a long paragraph of text, Shen Yue said that she was very busy these days and would not reply to any messages.

"Of course, these are just legends after all. The rabbit population has long been extinct."

In North American legends, the lucky rabbit's foot later became a popular pendant for aristocrats and even the upper class, which also brought them disaster.

"So you're telling me that I'm not unlucky today, but cursed by that rabbit?"

An Ling gave her a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"There is a saying that the method of making the lucky rabbit's foot is very cruel. After killing the sacrifice, the wizards will imprison their souls in the pendant. Therefore, once the pendant is lost or damaged, the wearer will be retaliated."

Although Wang Lu himself felt that these legends sounded a bit ridiculous, the deaths of four people that appeared in the news and the 100,000 yuan reward issued by the owner of Liao's Real Estate that night all indirectly confirmed the authenticity of the legends.

Those four people suffered this misfortune because they lost the white rabbit.

After losing the White Rabbit, Gu Yun and An Ling also encountered unfortunate events that were almost fatal.

The only reason they didn't die was because there was something wrong with Gu Yun.

After the two incidents, Wang Lu finally figured it out.

Gu Yun is a person who just lacks the word "invincible" written on his face.

"Is there any way to break the bad luck?"

An Ling asked.

"It's not in the information Shen Yue gave me, because the person who lost the pendant died before people found a way to break the bad luck."

"Hey, are you implying that I'm dead?"

"That may not be the case."

Wang Lu shook his head. "As long as you stay with this person, it won't be that easy to die."

"Gu Yun!"

After careful consideration, An Ling made up her mind.

Although what Wang Lu said was really contrary to common sense, what happened in the past two days forced her to think carefully about this issue .

In the end, she decided to just believe it.

"Please! I'll definitely repay you when I get my salary!"

"Too polite."

Gu Yun waved his hand.

An Ling is one of his few friends, and is also an indispensable companion for his sister on the road to becoming the strongest human being, so he will ensure her safety without An Ling asking.

"Then you stay here first. I'll go out and continue to get information."

Wang Lu said.

"No, let me handle this matter. I have something more important to ask of you."

"Can you do it?"

"Why not?"

"Well, go ahead."

"Do you have any left from the last bounty?"

"There are still a thousand dollars left."

"Great, I was a little worried about Gu Tiantian's safety."

In his current state, if he rashly went to look for his sister, he would only pass on the bad luck to her.

And these several thousand yuan are not a small amount of money.

"Use this money to help me hire some world-class mercenaries to protect her safety. I will pay you back when I have money."
