Chapter 1: The Worshippers
Qi Gao was lying bored on the grass of the campus, with a breeze blowing, with the unique fragrance of grass. Looking up at the blue sky and looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, Qi Gao couldn't help but sigh.
"Life is incredible."
A day ago, he was just an ordinary person, living an ordinary high school life. Until last night, until he met her, the one, who split through the darkness and stood in front of him.
From that moment on, Qi Gao knew about the god worshippers, the soul beasts, and her name, Chen Mengyuan.
I never thought that there was such an incredible existence in this world. I never thought that I would become one of them. If he hadn't noticed that strange girl last night, if he hadn't caught up with her out of curiosity, if he hadn't accosted her, then his life would have been ordinary.
"The worshippers of the gods, the ones who possess the artifacts? Is it true that even if I hadn't met her, I would have stepped into that world sooner or later, as she said? However, if you think about it, it really looks like a scam! ”
Last night, around twelve o'clock, on the street, Qi Gao saw a strange girl, a girl in a black trench coat, black, pants, and black shoes. Dressed in black, although strange, Qi Gao can still understand that he likes black, but, in the summer, wearing a trench coat, in any case, is too strange. Although it was night, the air was so hot and humid that it was no worse than during the day.
Moreover, the girl's behavior is also very strange, picking dark corners to walk, doesn't she know that the security of Nanyuan City has not been very good recently? Aren't you afraid of danger?
I don't know whether to be curious or worried about the girl, Qi Gao followed behind the girl.
Until the sentence "Can you see me? Awakened Qi Gao, he knew that his stalker had been discovered.
Probably regarded as an idiot, I just hope that the other party will scold him, and it will be troublesome if he calls the police.
He closed his eyes, but the storm he had been waiting for did not come. The girl, after saying a bunch of strange things, left. And listening to what the girl meant, it turned out to be for him to follow?
At that time, Qi Gao was puzzled, but out of curiosity, he still chased after him.
When danger came, a huge black shadow enveloped Qi Gao, a terrifying existence that made Qi Gao's heart stop, shattering the ground, whipping up trees, and collapsing walls. With Qi Gao's weak body, as long as he wiped it slightly, it was enough to kill him.
However, the girl who cleaved through the darkness and stood in front of him, and the monster that was cut into dozens of pieces and shattered to the ground.
The girl ignored Qi Gao, who was staying aside, and turned to leave.
At that time, Qi Gao was in a state of extreme excitement and shock, so he didn't notice it. But now that you think about it, it was a hoax.
Chen Mengyuan, who is a god worshipper, found another unawakened god worshipper - Qi Gao. Chen Mengyuan actually said that he was not interested in Qi Gao, and after taking Qi Gao to see a bunch of things that were out of common sense, he said, "Actually, I don't have any thoughts about you, so let's part ways." ”
You're not interested in ignoring people in the first place! I don't know if this is a pit man!
In the end, under Qi Gao's bitter pleading, Chen Mengyuan said that she actually had the intention of accepting a younger brother. When he heard the news, he was so happy that he called "big sister".
Now Qi Gao thinks back to his cheap appearance at that time, and he wants to punch him - it's really embarrassing.
However, even if he lied to him, what could he do, and although the odds were very small, maybe Chen Mengyuan was really that kind of character. The kind of character that doesn't care even if you're an unawakened worshipper.。
As for whether Chen Mengyuan was lying to him, Qi Gao didn't care too much. Because, it was Chen Mengyuan that he was able to step into that world, into the world of those who worship gods. Because of Chen Mengyuan, he was able to know that he was not an ordinary person, he had powerful magical powers.
Chen Mengyuan is his guide, his benefactor, and his eldest sister, which will never become. Qi Gao is now more concerned about tonight, last night, he and Chen Mengyuan made an appointment to hunt soul beasts together tonight.
This was his first activity after stepping into the world of worshippers, and he should have been very excited and looking forward to it, but he was more irritable and anxious.
Why? Because, last night was probably too excited, too excited, I heard that we were going to hunt soul beasts together, Qi Gao agreed with his mouth. After parting, he remembered that they had not agreed on a time and place to meet at all!
Moreover, he did not exchange addresses and mobile phone numbers with Chen Mengyuan, and what was worse was that Chen Mengyuan did not know him, except for his name, he did not tell Chen Mengyuan anything. It's not that he didn't want to say it, but Chen Mengyuan didn't ask at all.
Therefore, now Qi Gao is very worried, worried that this rare opportunity to change his fate may slip away from his hands like this. Although Chen Mengyuan said that he is a god worshipper, it is only a matter of time before he steps into the world of god worshippers. But who knows how long this "sooner or later" will be, a year? Two years? Or ten years?
"Alas!"
Qi Gao sighed, he knew that it was useless to think about it now, and he could only blame himself for being too stupid and careless, and he would make such a low-level mistake.
All he could do tonight was to go to the place where he met Chen Mengyuan last night and see if he would meet Chen Mengyuan. If you can't meet it, then you can only accept your fate, after all, you only know the name, and it is too difficult to find someone in Nanyuan City.
"Hey, you guy, rare gym class, what are you sighing about?"
A familiar voice sounded, and a man sat down beside him. Qi Gao didn't need to look to know that it was Nan Kaifu who spoke, his friend, a tall and strong guy who was passable.
"Nankai, it's you, why don't you play?"
Generally, those who have a good relationship with Nankaifu are called Nankai, and Qi Gao is naturally no exception.
"Cut, don't you know my physical condition yet? But you, in good health, what do you look like to stay here all day? ”
Nan Kaifu, don't look at him looks very strong and has a good body of muscles, in fact, his body is not very good. Once, when Nankai Fugang first entered school, he was a super-famous gangster, and he was not long after he entered school, and his reputation was directed at the boss of the third middle school.
In a scramble for the boss of the third middle school, Nan Kaifu was hospitalized, and his injuries were very serious, even if he was cured, he left a lot of sequelae, and he couldn't exercise vigorously, which was the most obvious one. However, because of Nan Kaifu's love for basketball, he still plays in physical education class, but it doesn't last long.
Regarding Nan Kaifu's hospitalization, Qi Gao felt very sympathetic and angry. However, Qi Gao also knew that if Nankaifu hadn't happened to him, he would already be the boss of the Third Middle School, and Qi Gao would not have intersected with Nankaifu.
"It's still strange to think about it now, you actually let that kid go."
That's right, after Nankai Fu seriously injured the theater, in addition to asking for medical expenses, he forgave the other party and accepted the private, and did not secretly retaliate afterwards.
If it was Nankaifu now, it would be understandable, but at that time, Nankaifu had only been in high school for less than a semester, and he dared to compete for the position of the boss of the third middle school. The speed of this transformation is truly astonishing.
Listening to Qi Gao's words, Nan Kaifu scratched his head, "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, and besides, everything has happened, even if you send that kid to prison?" It's better to accept it privately, and get more money. ”
Qi Gao glanced at Nankaifu and felt that what he said was quite right.
"It's not surprising that you've been so badly injured, but you've changed too quickly, from being hospitalized with injuries to becoming the empathetic you are now, just a few days, right?"
"Some things are like this, my parents and teachers have taught me for a few years, and I haven't taken a word to heart, and once I understand it, I know that I regret it."
Looking at Nan Kaifu's enlightened look, Qi Gao knew that he could have such a big change, in addition to being hospitalized, there must have been some decisive things happening, Qi Gao was about to open his mouth to continue asking, but Nan Kaifu opened the topic.
"Do you know about the recent horrific incident in Nanwon City?" Nan Kaifu deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
Although he knew that Nan Kaifu was deliberately pulling away from the topic, however, hearing Nan Kaifu say so mysterious, Qi Gao was also interested, he looked at Nan Kaifu and asked curiously: "What happened?" So mysterious? ”
"Recently, there has been a spate of homicides in the city."
"No, it won't!" Qi Gao was frightened, and said with some disbelief: "Why haven't I heard of such a big thing?" ”
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it." Nankai Fu paused and said: "Actually, this matter has been in the newspaper, but probably because there is no special publicity, not many people pay attention to it." If I hadn't known some people in the Tao, I wouldn't have noticed. ”
Indeed, serial murder cases sound quite terrifying, but as long as they don't happen around you, few people will pay attention. What's more, Qi Gao is not the kind of person who will read the newspaper and watch the news without anything, and it is normal not to know.
However, listening to Nan Kaifu's tone, things don't seem to be so simple.
Qi Gao thought of a possibility, so he asked worriedly, "Hasn't the prisoner been caught yet?" ”
"I didn't catch it." Seeing that Qi Gao was interested, Nan Kaifu spoke even harder, "The murderer is very likely to be a psychopath who became mentally abnormal after being abandoned by his girlfriend, because the people who were killed were all lovers, and they were made with cold weapons, and the scene was extremely cruel." And every time it happens, it happens in a dark corner not far from the downtown area, walking on the street, but you don't notice that there is a cruel murderer case happening in the corner less than 100 meters away from you, and it feels creepy to hear! ”
Nan Kaifu said, his body was still trembling, Qi Gao knew that most of Nan Kaifu's scared appearance was pretended. However, Qi Gao was still shocked, of course, what shocked him was not the murderer's case itself, but the murderer's use of cold weapons.
Kill people with cold weapons, not far from the downtown area, but no one finds out. Qi Gao couldn't help but think of the battle between Chen Mengyuan and the soul beast last night. The sound of the battle can wake up even the most sleepy people, but no one comes out until the battle is over.
Is it done by the worshippers? Qi Gao is not sure, or is it a soul beast? However, from Chen Mengyuan, I know that although soul beasts will absorb soul power from people, they do not hate humans, let alone kill people at will. And if the soul beast kills someone, how can they use cold weapons, their power, as long as they touch a human being a little, the body of an ordinary person will immediately turn into meat sauce.
If it is done by the worshippers, but why do the worshippers do it? It is not surprising that there are bad worshippers who will do bad things, but what is the benefit of killing people at will?
"Hey, what do you want?" Seeing that Qi Gao was silent for a long time, Nan Kaifu patted him a few times and said, "Are you worried about yourself?" Haha, people only kill couples, so a lonely person like me naturally doesn't have to worry. But it's hard for you to say, you'd better stop during this time and stop dating. Otherwise, it's not worth it. ”
"Dating? Don't laugh at me. ”
Hearing Nan Kaifu say dating, Qi Gao's face darkened suddenly.
