The First Gospel Chapter 83: Entering the Pit
Even Shen Yue, who had been idle for many years, could sense that this was probably the biggest crisis City X had ever encountered. Although supernatural creatures with a high threat rating had appeared before, this was the first time that an enemy like the Witch Society, which was organized, had a sense of freedom, and had a strong purpose, had appeared.
What's worse is that as soon as they arrived in City X, the witches chose to hide among ordinary people, using witchcraft to confuse people's minds and control the entire city in their hands.
In other words, the sales clerks they meet outside and the white-collar workers they meet on the subway may all be witches in disguise, omnipresent and pervasive.
The history of the witch society is hundreds of years longer than that of the Foundation, and its leader, Marianne Thessia, is a legendary witch.
Faced with an unprecedented crisis, the only option is to ask "Batman" to appear.
"Oh, so this is what a dual-SIM phone means."
Gu Yun expressed his own opinion on An Ling's endless speech, "That means I bought a mobile phone, but I have to pay double the phone bill... Isn't this wrong?"
He didn't know who Marian Thesia was, let alone the witches' society with a long history, so in Gu Yun's eyes, the most evil organization was "X City Communications" - he usually used his mobile phone to surf the Internet and couldn't even make many calls, but "X City Communications" charged him 50 yuan every month.
However, when he went to the business point to question the customer service staff angrily, the customer service lady smiled and told him in a gentle tone, "Sir, you don't have to use it if you are not happy."
Is there any organization darker than this?
But in order to go online, Gu Yun endured it.
After hearing An Ling's introduction to dual-SIM cards, Gu Yun drew an X on the dual-SIM phone.
"Hey, you two! I'm talking about serious business here!"
Shen Yue patted the table to try to attract the attention of the two. She had just said so much just to persuade Gu Yun to join the trap. She didn't know about others, but she knew Gu Yun's record in the past few years very well. Those high-risk creatures that he had easily killed in the past were more than enough for him to be promoted to S-level employees twice.
The only way she could think of to defeat Marian Thesia, besides calling for support from the headquarters and sending a group of S-class employees to beat her up, was to use Gu Yun, a mysterious figure whose origins were unknown.
Gu Yun was so evil that people thought he might be one of the supernatural creatures, because as far as Shen Yue knew, Gu Yun was the only human who could hit a spirit with his fist.
"We are also discussing business here."
Gu Yun fell into deep thought as he looked at the two mobile phones on the promotional list. In An Ling's words, these two mobile phones were much better than the one his comrade had blown up.
Faster internet speed, greater capacity, and a platform with more features.
It is indeed a great temptation.
"Choose the one on the left."
In order to end their completely irrelevant discussion, Shen Yue had to glance at the promotion list. "The phone on the right was developed by Orange Company. Their boss is also a member of the foundation. The main reason for the promotion of this phone is because its battery has problems."
"Okay, this one then."
Gu Yun made the final decision and set the selling price at 3,205 yuan, and he could save 795 yuan after buying it.
"Then let's continue our topic!"
"Okay, what did you say?"
Shen Yue: ...
Gu Yun: ...
An Ling: ...
Shen Yue's eyelids twitched violently, and she suddenly had the urge to pick up the sickle and hit Gu Yun on the head.
"I mean, if you help us out, you can name your price."
"Quick, tell me in detail."
Gu Yun suddenly sat up straight, with the expression of a skilled salesman.
"Name your own price" was the most generous offer he had ever heard, so much so that he even doubted its authenticity.
His previous commission fee was 6,000, and another commission was 7,000, but this had to be divided among several people.
Since Shen Yue said so, could it be possible that if he quoted 10,000 yuan, the other party would pay it in full? But this 10,000 yuan was really a huge sum of money, equivalent to two to three months' salary for an ordinary person.
Is ten thousand yuan too high a price?
After successfully completing several commissions, Gu Yun became inflated.
"Not only can I name any price, but I can also help you apply for the status of a non-staff employee of the foundation."
"Wait a minute, you mean, the Foundation really exists?"
"real."
"You didn't lie to me?"
"I did not lie to you."
"See, I told you the Foundation is real!"
Gu Yun was suddenly very excited. People said he was a psychopath, and this had been going on for years!
Now let’s see, who holds the truth?
He now wished he could wake up his sister immediately and ask her to listen carefully to what Shen Yue had to say.
Shen Yue was very confused when she saw Gu Yun's expression.
In her opinion, when a master like Gu Yun, who can kill dangerous evil spirits with bare hands, reaches the state of not being happy or sad because of things, he usually reaches the state of not being happy or sad because of himself. When she was a child, she heard about the examples of President Shi inviting many hidden masters to come out of seclusion with a large sum of money but being rejected.
Those people have long since become indifferent to everything, and even if you visit them three times, you may not be able to invite them.
However, Gu Yun was a man who was blinded by money and showed his joy on his face, as if he had never seen the world.
Even if the Foundation really exists, is it worth getting so excited about?
"In short, I want you to help us deal with Marian Thesia."
In the witch society, the real troublesome person is Marianne Thessia herself. This witch is a scourge that several legendary demon hunters have not been able to kill. As long as this biggest threat is eliminated, other witch branches can be defeated one by one.
"Okay, where is she, let's go right away."
This guy is super pragmatic!
It’s much better than those who only talk but don’t practice!
However, Shen Yueyao recalled her previous conversations with Gu Yun and found that this was mostly the case - she gave Gu Yun a rough location, and Gu Yun would go there alone to kill the target, and his efficiency was much higher than that of professional exorcists like them.
It's a pity that the situation is different this time. She just wants to drag Gu Yun into the trap first, so that they can have an extra strong ally in the future decisive battle. She hasn't even drawn up a word of the specific plan.
“…This may be difficult, and we need to conduct further investigation.”
During the brief contact with Marian, Shen Yue learned a key piece of information - the female devil showed an extraordinary interest in the white rabbit.
But she didn't think Marianne was interested in the white rabbit itself, because among wizards, there are a lot of spells that can bring luck to people, and the lucky rabbit's foot is just one of them. Rather than saying that Marianne was interested in the white rabbit, it would be better to say that she was interested in the "god" who turned the legend of the lucky rabbit's foot into reality.
Maybe……
Someone like Marianne Thessia would also have a strong desire to fulfill, so strong that she would not hesitate to expose herself to the public again after centuries of disguise.
"That means you don't know anything yet."
“That’s understandable.”
Shen Yue looked at Gu Yun, and Gu Yun also looked at Shen Yue.
[Gu Yun's trust in you has decreased!]
For a moment, she seemed to see the number "-1" constantly appearing above Gu Yun's head.
