The First Gospel Chapter 74: Motivation
In order to cooperate with Gu Yun's investigation, Xia Mu provided a lot of personal information about Sun Zheng, including but not limited to Sun Zheng's family address, hobbies, family member information, and even weekend travel plans.
"Master Gu, I'll leave this matter to you."
Xia Mu put the envelope containing 2,000 yuan on the table and turned away.
“This child…”
An Ling examined the thick stack of information about Sun Zheng and asked, "Is he a yandere?"
Normally, even if one has feelings for someone of the opposite sex, one would not investigate the matter so carefully, right? If the genders were reversed, she would have called the police directly.
"What does yandere mean?"
Hearing another unfamiliar word, Gu Yun asked in a studious spirit.
"Yandere, it's a little hard to explain. Let me show you something, and you should understand after you read it."
An Ling suddenly remembered that she still had the complete works of "Future Diary" stored in her computer hard drive. This anime could be regarded as her enlightenment book to understanding yandere. However, this was the first time she met someone with yandere tendencies in real life.
She thinks this kind of personality is cute in anime, but once it is put into reality, it is not only not cute, but also scary.
An Ling shuddered at the thought that someone might be following her in some invisible corner and secretly investigating all her social relationships.
…
"Well, I roughly understand it. I didn't expect there would be such a person."
After watching the clips selected by An Ling, Gu Yun suddenly felt that his strange knowledge had increased again - he had never heard of a person liking someone to the point of being unable to control himself and eventually taking an extreme path.
"But such people are indeed rare in reality."
Especially for high school students who are in adolescence, the temporary affection will mostly be worn away by time and eventually become a sweet or bitter memory.
The words that were not said, the feelings that were not expressed, and all kinds of regrets are also the most important parts of adolescence.
"Have you had a similar experience?"
Seeing that An Ling talked twice as much and acted like she was boasting and giving orders, Gu Yun asked curiously.
"Yes, graduation happened so hastily. There is one thing I have never been able to say to my best friend." Thinking of how she felt when she walked out of the examination room, An Ling lowered her head and clenched her hands on the coffee table. Even she left a regret that will be remembered for the rest of her life. "My deskmate owed me 50 yuan, and I haven't been able to get it back yet..."
Not long after she entered college, her cell phone fell into a pond while she was traveling, and she lost the phone numbers of half of her classmates, including her deskmate, so it seemed that the 50 yuan could never be recovered.
Whenever she thought of this, An Ling couldn't help but sigh. This was the biggest regret left by her three years of high school.
"I thought you were going to share your own love experience."
"How is that possible? It's enough for me to have Pokémon with me."
An Ling immediately showed a cold expression, "Who wants to date them?"
She admitted that she had indeed felt amorous at some point in her first year of high school.
The senior of the school basketball team, the top student who always ranks among the top three in every subject, the art student who is good at comics and completed short story creation in the first year of high school...
In order to improve her skills, An Ling tried several romance games under the strong recommendation of her deskmate.
However, half a semester later——
She became stronger, but she also completely lost interest in boys.
The seniors on the basketball team have to train every day, and you can smell their sweat before you get close to them; the top student is just a nerd who is only focused on studying and has trouble communicating with others; the student who excels in art has a terrible personality and always lives in his own world.
After playing too many dating games, An Ling discovered that compared with the almost perfect characters in the settings, the opposite sex around her are all pigs.
I have absolutely no desire to fall in love.
"Of course, you are different from them."
An Ling specifically added that Gu Yun is a powerful, resolute person with a strong sense of justice, and no bad habits have been found in him yet. He is definitely the template for the protagonist.
Before she knew it, she had spent a whole day at home with Gu Yun, and she felt that time seemed to be passing faster.
Although Gu Yun received An Ling's praise, he did not feel any emotion.
He had only heard the word love many times after he came to this world. He himself had no great interest in it, not even the beginning of love. When he thought of the countless evil spirits active in City X and the sudden appearance of the mysterious group of witches, he had no time to think about personal problems.
"By the way, what are you going to do about this matter?"
If it was a normal exorcism commission, An Ling would definitely not make any comments, but this was obviously not a supernatural event, and all the "accidents" that Xia Mu mentioned were actually man-made.
If she were an ordinary high school girl, she could convince the other party by reasoning and talking about life, but Xia Mu was a yandere, and a yandere daughter of a wealthy family, so the degree of danger increased exponentially.
An Ling also didn't know how Xia Mu would react once he knew the truth.
"I plan to go out and investigate first."
Gu Yun pushed the envelope containing 2,000 yuan to An Ling, "Here are 2,000 yuan. I will return you 1,000 yuan when I get the reward."
Regardless of whether Xia Mu was a yandere or not, he decided to take the commission - 7,000 yuan could solve his urgent needs , and after returning the 3,000 yuan that An Ling had advanced, he could use the remaining money to buy a new phone.
Moreover, he is not the kind of person who would take the money but not do the job. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Xia Mu gave him so much money, he would definitely kidnap Sun Zheng even if he had to.
"Well, pause for a moment."
An Ling felt something was wrong. Weren't they discussing supernatural events and young people's love problems? Why did the topic suddenly turn to the business of human traffickers? Miss Xia Mu was responsible for paying, and Gu Yun was responsible for kidnapping. "This is not exorcism, it's kidnapping!"
"The economy is in a downturn right now, so expanding the business a little bit might be a good idea."
"Don't act rashly. Let me try first."
In order to prevent Gu Yun from going down a path of no return, An Ling had to step forward and said, "The information provided by Xia Mu said that Sun Zheng would go to the basketball court in the sports center to play basketball during his break. We can go and test the waters first!"
Things weren't so tense. What if Sun Zheng also had a crush on Xia Mu? All they had to do was to bring them together and convince Xia Mu's parents that the country had entered an era of free love. Then they might be able to earn a large sum of money easily.
"That's fine, but if he refuses to cooperate, we'll have to resort to other means."
