The First Gospel Chapter 43: X City Style Parents
"Calm down, I'm not sure yet!"
Seeing that Gu Yun looked like he was ready to overturn the table and push the door open at any time, Wang Lu had to hold him down.
"Supernatural events, what exactly is going on?"
Gu Yun has always been committed to nipping in the bud any evil spirits that may threaten humanity. However, this time, supernatural phenomena appeared in his sister's school, but he was kept in the dark and had no idea about it.
Could it be...
Have you been mentally slacking off lately because you’ve been busy making money?
"It's because it's not confirmed yet that I haven't contacted you."
Wang Lu looked up a lot of information during these two days. When he encountered the evil spirit in the subway station, he had a vague premonition. After the incidents of the ghoul and the lucky rabbit's foot, he realized that his premonition seemed to come true.
The urban legend of City X seemed to have "come alive".
This is fundamentally different from the evil spirits he had encountered in the past.
In the past, evil spirits were caused by the obsession and resentment of the deceased that could not be dispelled, so they wandered in reality forever and eventually became evil ghosts.
So if you dig deeper, you will find that almost every evil ghost has a dark and cruel story. The good thing is that their stories can be traced, and once you find a way to eliminate their resentment, the evil ghosts will disappear.
Alternatively, they can directly find the object that embodies their resentment and burn it through certain means. This is the method of "physical exorcism."
Wang Lu read these in an online book titled "From Beginner to Master - Thirteen Lectures on Daily Exorcism".
It is said that the author is a famous exorcist in the industry.
If he had not died tragically on the street less than a week after writing this book, Wang Lu would have planned to pay him a visit.
"I've been following the topic of urban legends online recently. A student living here said that he saw a strange ghost in the mirror at night, so I came here to investigate."
Wang Lu explained.
Urban legends are different from evil spirits. The reason they are called urban legends is that they are actually mostly just made up by people to scare people or to add topics for after-dinner conversation.
The legends of ghouls and lucky rabbit's feet can still be found today, but Wang Lu asked some friends in the "industry" and they said these legends were not within the scope of their research.
Because no matter how true an urban legend may be, it is fictional and will never become reality.
He spent hundreds of dollars treating the expert to a meal, but in the end he didn't get any valuable information.
"Tell me first, what happened to Ma Haotian?"
Gu Tiantian had to interrupt her brother's heated conversation with Wang Lu. She had long developed the habit of automatically filtering out topics related to evil spirits.
However, the two parents in front had already stopped showing off to each other and leaned back to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Then I was confused by what I heard.
Gu Tiantian felt that he needed to let the two people talk about some practical topics.
Activities such as supernatural clubs can be held in private settings.
"Ma Haotian? Who is that?"
Wang Lu was stunned for a moment.
"Aren't you his uncle?"
Wang Lu’s reaction aroused a surge of anger in Gu Tiantian’s heart, and she suddenly had the urge to poke the other person’s forehead with a fountain pen.
"Oh, you mean Ma Haotian, this is not a supernatural event."
Obviously, Wang Lu's words do not seem to convince the public.
Being an uncle but not knowing his nephew's name is actually no different from a supernatural event in the eyes of many people.
"Before I changed my career, wasn't I a fortune teller?"
At least compared to those liars who can only say nice things, Wang Lu thinks he still has something.
"Didn't your brother tell you? My eyes can see the direction of a person's fortune."
His previous job was to wander around various schools, and Ma Haotian was one of the many children who came to him for divination. Due to personal reasons, Ma Haotian gradually became his frequent visitor.
For example, recently, Ma Haotian got his phone number from somewhere.
" What do you think the chances of me surviving would be if my dad knew my results for this monthly exam?"
"One percent."
In fact, it was originally 0%, and Wang Lu added this percentage point because the other party had asked him to do divination before.
So in order to survive, Ma Haotian came up with a plan.
He entrusted Wang Lu to pretend to be his uncle and attend the parents' meeting.
Anyway, his parents work away from home all year round, so unless anyone mentions it, they won’t know about the parent-teacher conference.
"oh."

In other words, the "setting" of this middle-aged man is a person with super powers who can see supernatural creatures.
And the brother’s “setting” is that he is the most powerful warrior in a village.
Recently, Gu Tiantian came to a conclusion.
Nowadays, most unemployed people who are old and can’t find a job tend to imagine themselves as people with super powers.
However, Ma Haotian's reaction was reasonable.
To be honest, his test results this time were so bad that even his deskmate Gu Tiantian couldn't stand it.
"Uncle Ma Haotian, you just said you can tell fortunes?"
The two parents in the front seat showed great interest in the divination Wang Lu mentioned. Long Tao's mother asked, "Can you help me calculate how many places my Long Tao can move up in the next monthly exam?"
“Probably fell back by about 10 places.”
Wang Lu said without hesitation.
"What? How is this possible? My son Long Tao is so hardworking that he goes to school until 11 o'clock every day!"
Who just said "That child doesn't study well at all"!
Gu Tiantian rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.
"What about my Lu Renjia?"
Lu Renjia's father couldn't wait to ask. Just now, he and Long Taoyi's showing off to their mother was only evenly matched. Lu Renjia's liberal arts and Long Taoyi's science each had their strengths.
Now, Long Tao's ranking has declined, so his chance has come.
“It’s also about 10 places lower.”
"Why!"
Why are even the declining rankings evenly matched!
"Because, your two children often go to the nearby game hall to play games together after school."
Wang Lu could indeed see the direction of a person's fortune, but he was still far from being able to predict the future. How could he possibly use divination to determine the two people's ranking in the next monthly exam?
But as a fortune teller, he can't just speak without thinking, so he can only proceed from reality and make judgments based on facts. In the past period of time, every time he came to set up a fortune telling stall near this high school, he would run into Lu Renjia and Long Taoyi who were having fun in the game hall next door.
Because the names of these two people were so prominent, Wang Lu remembered them at once.
"What? This is outrageous!"
At this moment, Lu Renjia and Long Taoyi's parents miraculously put aside their past grievances and stood on a united front. "Just wait and see if I can teach him a lesson when I get back!"
Didn’t you just say that Lu Renjia is addicted to games!
No, I can’t write anymore!
Gu Tiantian closed the math workbook in one swoop. This was her first time attending a parents' meeting, but she was surprised to find that the adults were just as stupid as them.
However, even though she couldn't see Lu Renjia and Long Taoyi now, she could imagine the word "danger" suddenly appearing above their heads.
Fortunately, the class teacher broke the atmosphere which was gradually moving towards absurdity.
She walked into the classroom with a thick stack of test papers in her hands and an expressionless face.
At this moment, all parents' attention was focused on the head teacher.
"Here are the test papers for all subjects of this monthly exam."
As soon as these words were spoken, the class fell silent.
