The First Gospel Chapter 49: There is nothing that a barbecue can't solve

There is nothing in this world that can't be solved by a barbecue. If there is, then have two barbecues.

When Wang Lu heard this sentence for the first time, he thought it made a lot of sense, so now he urgently needed to eat a barbecue to adjust his mood.

At around ten o'clock, there were quite a few customers at the barbecue stall, and they were talking loudly. The tables and the floor were littered with leftover lunch boxes.

This time is when the night market is at its busiest, with diners coming in an endless stream, making the area more popular.

If you live in a popular place, you probably don't have to worry about being haunted by evil spirits or being suddenly assassinated.

It should not happen here that you are eating hotpot and singing songs and suddenly someone blows you in the head.

After ordering two bottles of beer, Wang Lu felt a lot more at ease.

He opened one of the bottles and handed it to Gu Yun.

On the way here, he naturally called back the mysterious number that sent the text message, but as expected, it was an empty number.

"What do you think of what happened today?"

"I don't know, but I want to find out."

This is different from any other time in the past, as the location where the supernatural incident occurred is the school where my sister attends.

If it really doesn't work, I will have to live in school 24 hours a day.

"I thought so too. Do you know why I focused on this matter?"

Taking a swig of beer, Wang Lu said, "Because it reminds me of my childhood."

Mirror, candles.

And the ghost that comes at midnight.

Although many details have changed, the legend of "Bloody Mary" is simply a replica of the strange story he heard back then.

In this world, there is gain and loss, but unfortunately he did not understand this truth when he was a child.

He got the sight that did not belong to him, but he didn't know what price he had to pay.

However, Wang Lu did not rush to tell Gu Yun about Teacher Wu's identity.

"Honestly, I'm not interested in what happened to you as a child. Let's talk about school."

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, even if you are really not interested, at least pretend to be interested out of respect!

Wang Lu had just taken a sip of beer and had been brewing his emotions for a long time, but was choked back by Gu Yun's words.

Well, let’s talk business first.

"First, we have to find a way to properly conduct the investigation at school."

“That might be difficult.”

Gu Yun said.

He had never had a good relationship with the old security guard. Ever since he wandered around the school gate with a hammer late at night that day, he seemed to have been included in the old man's list of suspicious people.

After today's incident, the other party may be more wary of him.

"I've figured out a way."

"Do you have a solution?"

"When I came here, I saw that this high school was recruiting night security guards, 500 yuan a night, we can give it a try."

Wang Lu didn't take the security guard's reaction to heart.

After years of struggling in society, he understood the simplest truth.

If you can't beat them, join them.

Now that we have joined you and are serving as security guards with you, we can't still be suspicious elements, right?

"But they seem to have recruited someone."

Gu Yun remembered that when he was on the first floor, he met two young men who were patrolling with the old man.

"What's the big deal? The positions of temporary workers are all manageable."

"There's no need to go so far, right?"

"Let me make sure we are talking about the same thing - first tell me, what are you going to do?"

"What else can we do? Of course, we should follow them home after they get off work, so that they can no longer perform security work."

Gu Yun's face darkened.

The village guild had received many assassination commissions in the past, but he had always been dismissive of assassinations.

What he advocated was to defeat the opponent head-on when the opponent was fully prepared.

But if my sister is involved, I can consider breaking some principles.

"Well, it's a good thing I asked."

There is Teacher Wu in front and Gu Yun behind.

This made Wang Lu wonder whether assassination had suddenly been legalized without his knowledge.

"Leave the night shift security to me. You wait for my news at home. What we are discussing now is a more technical job."

Wang Lu has become accustomed to the difficulties of this line of work. Most of the time, they don't even know what kind of creature they are facing.

A female ghost with empty eye sockets and tears of blood?

No matter how you think about it, these are images that have been artistically processed, and their job is to unravel them and extract useful information from them.

In other words, no matter how many eyes and heads this female ghost has, it is not the point; the point is her purpose.

"Thanks to you, I just thought of this. Please take a closer look at the text message."

"how?"

"She guided you step by step through the summoning ritual. In other words, this is a ghost with a very strong purpose."

Later, she even guided Gu Yun to save him from danger.

Therefore, if the previous attacks were also caused by ghosts, it would not be just an accident.

There must be some deeper connection.

"After you completed the ritual, did you notice anything unusual?"

"It's not me, it's Gu Tiantian. I can't read the string of letters you wrote at all."

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Wang Lu stood up from his chair and asked, "Why are you telling me such an important thing only now?"

"Nothing happened at that time. I guess the ceremony was fake."

"If it was fake, she wouldn't have guided you through the ritual!"

It was not until now that Wang Lu suddenly understood the reason.

"There's no time to explain. Go back quickly. She's targeting your sister! I'm going to catch a car on the side of the road now..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yun was no longer in front of him.

"Hey, wait for me..."

Wang Lu stood up and tried to chase after him, but a tall man stood in front of him.

Veins bulged on the man's arms exposed to the cold wind, and the blade in his hand shone with a bright cold light.

Killer!

Wang Lu immediately determined the other party's identity.

Teacher Wu and the organization behind her have not given up, they are just waiting for Gu Yun to leave!

As Wang Lu's increasingly horrified gaze grew, the tall man slowly spoke.

"Two bottles of beer, five skewers of chicken skin, five skewers of chicken heart, five skewers of leeks, and ten skewers of tendon. The total is 72 yuan. This is a small business. No credit is accepted."

…

10:34.

The electronic clock on the desk showed these numbers.

Gu Tiantian turned over in bed. She opened her mouth unconsciously and exhaled a breath of cold air.

The round mirror on the bedside table reflected a different scene.

The woman standing in front of the window was about the same age as her. She had her back to the mirror and extended her pale right hand towards Gu Tiantian.

Looking at Gu Tiantian’s slightly furrowed brows, he retracted his outstretched right hand as if he had been electrocuted.

The figure in the mirror seemed to be in a brief confusion.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she reached out her hand again.

The figure took a deep breath.

He gently lifted up the quilt that had slipped down due to turning over.

Then--

"Sister, are you okay?"

"Ouch!"

The bedroom door was kicked several meters away, and the deafening noise scared Gu Tiantian so much that he jumped three feet high.

Gu Tiantian stood barefoot on the bed, staring at Gu Yun in shock. This silent scene lasted for dozens of seconds.

"elder brother--!"

The long-lost scream of intolerance, "What the hell are you doing in the middle of the night!"
