Chapter 57: Grunt
"Gu Yun, I have to talk to you."
Wang Lu casually found a flower bed opposite the school, sat down and lit a cigarette. In fact, he had had this idea since the last time they worked together on the Ghoul incident.
He had finally understood Gu Yun recently.
In addition to being particularly able to fight this obvious characteristic, he found that Gu Yun was not bad, and even belonged to the kind of people who were warm-hearted, but he was straightforward, he thought of something, and said it directly to his face when he saw it, without the slightest cover-up.
"You can't just run and tell someone face to face just because you see something."
Wang Lu himself can be regarded as suffering from it.
When they met for the first time, he said that An Ling was more than lucky, but before he could react, Gu Yun went directly to An Ling and sold him, causing him to explain in the security room for an afternoon, and it was not until the evening that the security guard reluctantly believed that he was not planning to tail An Ling's pervert and let him go.
"How do they know?"
Gu Yun asked rhetorically.
Being treated as a neuropathy is already commonplace for Gu Yun, but he feels that the real stupidity is those people who are not only ignorant of the dangers around them, but also do not know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace and prevent them as soon as possible.
"Words can't be said like that, and you can't save people like that."
Wang Lu spat out a puff of smoke ring, "Come, let me tell you a real story, in fact, when I realized that I was different, I was just like you, I wanted to be a hero who saved lives and helped the wounded......"
The story Wang Lu told happened more than 20 years ago, when people still lived in bungalows, and the Internet era had not yet arrived, and people would go out of the house and gather in the yard to play chess and brag in their spare time. The neighborhood was much closer than it is now, and basically the people in the yard knew each other.
There was an old man in the compound who played chess very well, and when Wang Lu was fine, he ran to pester the other party to learn to play chess.
The old man is a good man, not only does he teach him, but he also invites Wang Lu to come to his house for dinner when he is tired of playing chess.
"But one night I found out that the old man was dying."
As he spoke, Wang Lu looked up at the night sky, that was the first time he saw the existence of black qi, "When I was learning chess that day, the old man was followed by a white-faced woman who I had never seen, I didn't think much about it at the time, I thought it was a relative of the old man, but then the old man came home and locked the door, but the white-faced woman went directly through the door." ”
"And then?"
Regarding the topic of evil spirits, Gu Yun is still more interested.
Later, of course, it was he who raged and smashed the evil spirit with one punch and embarked on the path of the evil spirit hunter.
Of course, these are the episodes that only exist in Wang Lu's fantasy.
"Actually, I knocked on the door and told the old man what had happened."
The old man smiled at him kindly, not taking it seriously, "And I made a lot of noise at his house, and in the end it may have annoyed him, and the old man called my mother." Without saying a word, my mother carried me by the ear and carried me home, and locked me in my room for the night. The next day, the old man died at home. ”
"Dead?"
Gu Yun was a little surprised, he thought that Wang Lu was talking about the glorious deeds of subduing evil spirits with his bare hands.
"Dead, I thought at the time, and now they can always believe that what I said is true, right? I didn't believe in evil and told me about it, but not only did they think that the old man died suddenly at home because of a heart attack, but they also felt that I was sick in the brain, and from that day on, the people in the compound were far away from me, and when I came home from school, people often pointed fingers at me, and then my parents couldn't stand the pressure and moved out not long after. ”
Wang Lu didn't take it to heart when others pointed at him, but there was only one thing that kept him in his heart, "My words, in the end, my mother didn't believe it." ”
To this day, twenty years later, people still believe that the old man died suddenly of a heart attack.
In Gu Yun, Wang Lu vaguely saw his former self - Gu Yun had a younger sister, and he had never believed in the existence of supernatural events in this world.
"The main reason may be that you are too weak."
Gu Yun put himself in his shoes and thought about it, if it was him, the old man would not die, because the moment the white-faced ghost tried to prepare to blend into the old man's house, she was already a corpse.
"That's true, but not everyone is like you, just like people from other planets."
Gu Yun spoke as always, but this time, Wang Lu didn't shout at the other party with his throat in his voice, "Because I am very weak, I have encountered similar incidents several times later, and they have almost the same ending." So I realized that it was a thankless errand. ”
His purpose is to save people, but he can't get any gratitude, but is regarded as a madman.
Occasionally lying on the bed, Wang Lu would also think maliciously, would those people regret pushing themselves out of the door with their own hands when they were dying?
But he was destined to never get an answer.
"Gu Yun, actually, it's not so complicated to be an ordinary person, it's quite simple." Wang Lu paused and continued, "As long as you don't say anything, don't do anything, and if you see evil spirits, nothing will happen, so that people will naturally believe that you are an ordinary person until you die." ”
After understanding this truth, no one regarded Wang Lu as a madman, but most of his friends thought he was a good person.
Anyway, people die every day in this world, he is just an ordinary person, and becoming a hero is just an unrealistic secondary fantasy in his youth.
"No, I didn't fight the evil spirits just to make them thank me."
"Gu Yun, you are really a ...... Criticism. ”
Wang Lu extinguished the cigarette butt.
However, it was precisely because Gu Yunhan was hopelessly certain that he felt ashamed of his old man, who was about to be older than the other party.
Ignoring their slander, even if his relatives don't understand, he won't be shaken, and at the same time, he has the strength to fight evil things.
Looking at Gu Yun, Wang Lu seemed to see himself who only existed in his ideals.
"So, coordinating with ordinary people is not suitable for people like you at all. Since you don't like it, leave it to me, you just have to do what you're good at. Wang Lu took a deep breath, "Although I'm not very good at fighting, I know how to deal with people. ”
"I don't care."
Gu Yun nodded, he didn't like to deal with other people originally, the only thing he could mention was the battle with the evil spirits.
"Okay, for future commissions, you just need to stay aside and don't say anything."
Of course, Wang Lu would never know Gu Yun's true thoughts.
It's not to save people, and I don't have any idea of helping the world.
In order to protect my sister's safety, strangling all threats in the cradle is only one of the reasons.
Another reason is that Gu Yun likes the feeling of tension and excitement during battle.
But in this world......
Assault is an offence.
It is not illegal to fight evil spirits.
