Chapter 34: Lucky Rabbit's Foot (Part 1)
In the past few days without commissioning, Wang Lu has not been idle, this is the first time in his life that he wants to take seriously, and more importantly, the mastermind behind everything is closely related to his future fate.
"In the past few days, I have checked a lot of information and made some discoveries."
Wang Lu said while eating, "For example, the evil spirit we encountered when we first met originated from an urban legend called "The Female Ghost in White", although the source of the legend has not been found, but you should have all heard of it, it is a female ghost with a cloak and a disheveled hair that someone encountered on the highway in the middle of the night. ”
The information obtained on the Internet is mixed, so Wang Lu also asked the "consultant" they hired to verify the authenticity of the information.
The legend of "The Ghost in White" has been used in many movies, and it has been adapted into different versions with a little processing.
"In Shen Yue's words, the original female ghost in white was just a ghost who couldn't let go of her obsession after death, but later after her influence continued to expand, it became a supernatural phenomenon."
Due to An Ling's presence, Wang Lu did not elaborate on Shen Yue's explanation.
The female evil spirits they encounter in the subway station are not the source of the legend of "The Ghost in White", but the "substitute" created after being killed by the evil spirits.
Therefore, if they were not present at the time, An Ling would have become the next "female ghost in white" after falling into the railroad tracks, until she met a "substitute" who could solve her obsession.
"Ghouls are derived from Arabic legends, and later there are many different versions, the more popular of which is that the ghouls were originally humans, and for various reasons they devoured human flesh and were cursed with flesh and blood, which caused them to starve forever...... How, is it very similar to what we saw at the time? ”
After that incident, Wang Lu also had nightmares for several days.
"Hey! You two can stop in moderation, there are girls here! ”
An Ling was told by Wang Lu that she had goosebumps, although she was a game nerd, she would never touch horror games.
She lived alone after graduating from college, let alone horror games, even if it was a horror novel, or a comic that slightly involved some horror elements, it would make her unable to sleep at night.
So what Anling hates the most is that someone coldly posts a horror picture in a group chat!
It's super scary, isn't it!
And now, this uncle actually came to someone else's house early in the morning and told a horror story casually!
She poured her annoyance on the bun in her hand and bit it viciously.
"Scared? But have you ever thought about the buns you eat now...... What kind of stuffing is it made of? ”
Wang Lu suddenly turned to An Ling, his expression gloomy and his voice low.
"I can taste the big meat filling."
Wang Lu: ......
Anling: ......
An Ling looked at each other with a pair of caring eyes for empty nesters, "I bought it at the morning market downstairs, I often buy one on the way to work." ”
A bun sells for only 1 piece 5, making it a cheap and delicious choice.
It's not scientific!
In this atmosphere, shouldn't An Ling scream and throw herself into the arms of the man closest to her?
Gu Yun sat back on the sofa before, so he missed the opportunity to compete with him.
"Ahem, I'm just kidding."
An Ling continued to eat steamed buns - thanks to Wang Lu's not very smart appearance, the terrifying atmosphere that had accumulated just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"And what about this time? What's the origin of that rabbit? ”
Gu Yun asked.
"Back in Celtic legend, it was believed that there were rabbits that brought luck. Celts, have you heard of it? ”
Wang Lu asked in a vague manner.
"You know, one of the three great barbarian tribes of early Europe."
An Ling once again succeeded in seeing through Wang Lu's behavior.
Because the Celts, Vikings and the like have long been flooded in the game.
"Very good, Anling-san, please don't answer questions in the future."
Wang Lu's face didn't look good, could it be that everyone here, he was the only one who replied to Shen Yue, "Is there a legend of the Lakers?" to Shen Yue?
A few seconds later, Shen Yue sent him a question mark.
He looked at Gu Yun, who had the same face as usual.
That's right!
Not to mention the three barbarians in Europe, even the NBA Gu Yun has never heard of it.
So whether it's the Celtics in history or the basketball team today, he doesn't know anything.
It can be seen that the next set is ineffective for people who don't know anything.
"However, not all rabbits can bring luck, and this legend was later perfected in North American legends, and in addition to the species of rabbits, a wizard who is proficient in black magic is required to cast spells."
The atmosphere in the room was quite strange, and Wang Lu could only bite the bullet and tell the clues he had gotten from Shen Yue.
After leaving a large amount of written information, Shen Yue said that she was busy these days and would not reply to any news.
"Of course, these are legends after all, and the rabbit population has long been extinct."
In North American legend, the lucky rabbit's foot later became a popular pendant for the aristocracy and even the upper class, which brought disaster to them.
"So you're telling me that I wasn't unlucky today, but cursed by that rabbit?"
An Ling showed an expression of "you are teasing me".
"There is a theory that the Lucky Rabbit's Feet were made in a cruel way, and when the sacrifice was killed, the sorcerers imprisoned their souls in the pendant, so that if the pendant was lost or damaged, the wearer would be revolted."
Although Wang Lu himself felt that these legends sounded a bit ridiculous, the death of four people on the news and the 100,000 yuan reward issued by the boss of Liao's real estate that night confirmed the authenticity of the legend from the side.
Those four people suffered this misfortune because of the loss of the white rabbit.
And after Gu Yun and An Ling lost the White Rabbit, they also encountered unlucky events that were almost fatal.
The reason why they didn't die was simply because there was something wrong with Gu Yun.
After the two incidents, Wang Lu figured it out.
Gu Yun almost wrote 'invincible' on his face directly.
"Is there any way to solve the bad luck?"
An Ling asked.
"Shen Yue didn't have it in the information I gave me, because the person who lost the pendant was already dead before people could find a way to solve their bad luck."
"Hey, are you implying that I'm dead!"
"Not necessarily."
Wang Lu shook his head, "As long as you stay by this person's side, you won't die so easily." ”
"Gu Yun!"
After some careful consideration, An Ling made up her mind.
Although what Wang Lu said was really contrary to common sense, what happened in the past two days made her have to think carefully about this issue.
Eventually, she took a rather believable attitude.
"Please! When I pay my salary, I will definitely repay the favor! ”
"That's so polite."
Gu Yun waved his hand.
An Ling is one of his few friends, and he is his sister's indispensable companion on the road to becoming the strongest human, so he doesn't have to say anything, he will also ensure the safety of the other party.
"So, you stay here for now, and I'll go out and continue to inquire about the news."
Wang Lu said.
"No, I'll take care of this matter, I have something more important to ask you about."
"Can you do it?"
"Why not?"
"Okay, you can say it."
"Do you have any leftover from the last bounty?"
"There's still a thousand dollars."
"Great, I'm a little worried about Gu Tiantian's safety."
In his current state, rushing to find his sister will only infect the other party with bad luck.
And these thousands of dollars are not a small amount.
"You use this money to help me hire a few world-class mercenaries to protect her safety, and when I have the money, I will pay you back."
My sister has barely touched the white rabbit, so she shouldn't be affected by bad luck.
But!
In the unlikely event that during his absence, there are top killers, gunmen or terrorists who are dangerous.
