The First Gospel Chapter 96 Precognitive Dreams
After paying the money and returning home, Gu Yun and Wang Lu roughly made a plan to keep watch. Although Gu Yun claimed that he would be fine if he didn't sleep for a few days, Wang Lu was very determined. He insisted that Gu Yun sleep first and then have Gu Yun watch over Avril in the second half of the night. In order to express his determination, he even drank two cans of Red Bull in front of Gu Yun.
After a whole night of twists and turns, Avril seemed to be exhausted to the extreme. She fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
Gu Yun returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes.
In the tenth year since he came into this world, he had his first dream.
When the darkness in front of his eyes dissipated, he stood in the familiar Magic Corner Square. Wizards in black robes passed by him. They walked towards Hogwarts, talking and laughing, a vibrant scene.
After seeing a real witch, he gained a new understanding of the wizard community.
Then, Gu Yun saw An Ling across the crowd.
An Ling was also watching him from afar. Sensing Gu Yun's gaze, she smiled and waved at Gu Yun, then turned and walked into a familiar building.
Where does this sense of familiarity come from?
Gu Yun always felt as if he had been here before. There was even a moment when he also leaned his hands on the railing like he was doing now, gazing into the distance.
What was he looking at at that time?
His thoughts were a little confused and his memory seemed to be disconnected, but his intuition told him that this matter was very important.
He climbed over the fence, followed An Ling's footsteps, and walked towards the familiar building. After pushing the door open, a strong light shone towards him.
It is the morning sunshine.
The old curtains in the bedroom were not drawn, so when the sun rose, the strong light shining into the room blinded Gu Yun's face.
He got up from the bed, picked up his phone and looked at the screen. It was already 7:13. When he came out of the bedroom, Wang Lu was sitting on the sofa in the living room playing with his phone. When he looked up, Gu Yun saw his bloodshot eyes.
"Oh, you got up early."
Wang Lu took the initiative to say hello.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Gu Yun frowned. His biological clock was very strong. Logically, he would wake up in the middle of the night without anyone calling him. Could it be that living in this world for too long had caused his alertness to decrease?
"I see that foreign girl is sleeping very soundly, so there's no need to wake you up to watch her." Wang Lu yawned and explained, "You still have to go out to find An Ling today. You need to get enough sleep to have the energy. I'm old now and I can't help much in a fight. It's a good time to catch up on my sleep in the morning. Don't worry about me, go and see what's going on with that witch."
Gu Yun nodded and walked into his sister's room.
The bedroom door was not locked. In Wang Lu's words, he and Gu Yun were both upright gentlemen and there was no way they would do such a thing as attacking a little girl at night. Avril knew that she had no right to negotiate in front of two big men, nor did she dwell on these minor details.
But Avril's sleeping posture was really not flattering. The quilt with the teddy bear pattern was kicked to the ground at some point. She curled up into a ball, shivering on the bed, and seemed to be sweating profusely.
"Are you OK ."
"Woooa ...
As soon as Gu Yun put his hand on her shoulder, Avril woke up from the nightmare, with deep fear still on her face.
The two looked at each other, Avril opened her mouth wide, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
"I'm going to make breakfast now, please don't hit me."
"No."
Honestly, isn't this little witch a little too timid? And this submissive character doesn't seem to have emerged only after she was captured by them.
"Do your seniors often beat you?"
Avril nodded weakly.
Apprentices were at the bottom of the society, and all the daily chores were assigned to them. Before coming to City X, the first thing Avril did when she woke up every day was to prepare breakfast for her seniors. While the seniors were having breakfast, she would go to a coffee shop a few stops away to buy the first batch of freshly ground coffee.
If the seniors were not satisfied with their breakfast and coffee, some of them with bad tempers would pinch her face and scold her, or even use spells to make mice poop under her skirt.
The gentle senior told her that every apprentice had gone through this. Before, there was another apprentice who shared the same tasks with her. However, during the curse course, the other apprentice got the steps wrong and was hit by the curse...
In the end, she was the only one left doing odd jobs.
"In that case, why do you still want to be a witch?"
These experiences were simply unbelievable to Gu Yun. When he was in the village, let alone someone stuffing monsters into his clothes, if anyone dared to twist his face, he would definitely smash the person's head flat on the spot.
“Because I don’t want to go to school.”
In addition to busy academic work at school, he is often bullied by bad students.
Although she was still bullied after joining the society, one day when she returned from school, she would be able to take revenge on those bad students who had bullied her.
"The elders said that witches can live a long time. Once they become official witches, they can live the life they want."
Witches do not often act together. Most of the time, they hide in human society as ordinary people.
Of course, more importantly, if she didn't join the association, the mistress would kill her.
Avril doesn't want to die. Even though life is full of difficulties and unfairness, she still wants to live.
“I don’t understand.”
"...You won't hit me?"
Avril asked cautiously. She hadn't done anything since she woke up today. She didn't prepare breakfast, didn't clean the house, and she didn't even know what flavor of coffee Gu Yun and Wang Lu liked.
Since yesterday, she felt that there was something strange about Gu Yun.
If it was Gu Yun who was captured by the seniors, they would definitely come up with all kinds of strange ways to torture him. Most of the demon hunters they captured became experimental subjects for the seniors to try out spells. Some seniors were keen on putting the captured demon hunters and the three-headed dog in a cage and watching a game similar to cat and mouse.
She thought that even if she could save her life, she would still be treated similarly. However, since yesterday, apart from threatening her, Gu Yun had not done anything excessive. He even provided her with a bed so that she could sleep peacefully all night.
Avril still remembered that all the captured demon hunters were locked up in a dungeon that looked like a pigsty.
“The strong do not need to derive pleasure from the suffering of others.”
Gu Yun said calmly.
Avril stared at Gu Yun in a daze.
These words had never been said to her by the seniors, not even by the mistress.
They said that the purpose of gaining magic power was to manipulate others and trample them under their feet.
"There's milk and bread in the refrigerator. Go have breakfast first. I'm going to look for An Ling today. I might be out all day. Remember to eat more."
