Chapter 49: There's nothing that can't be solved by a barbecue
There's nothing in this world that can't be solved with one barbecue, and if there is, then two.
When he heard this sentence for the first time, Wang Lu felt that it made a lot of sense, so now, he urgently needed to eat a barbecue to adjust his mood.
At the barbecue stall at ten o'clock, there are many customers, and there are endless conversations, and the tables and the ground are full of leftover lunch boxes eaten by diners.
At this time, the night market is at its most lively, and the diners are endless, making the neighborhood more popular.
Where there is a lot of popularity, you probably don't have to worry about being haunted by evil spirits, and you don't have to worry about being suddenly assassinated.
The absurdity of eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly being shot in the head, shouldn't happen here.
After ordering two bottles of beer, Wang Lu felt a lot more at ease.
He opened one of the bottles and handed it to Gu Yun.
On the way here, he naturally dialed back the mysterious number that sent the text message, and unsurprisingly the empty number.
"What do you think of what happened today?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to investigate."
This is different from ever, the place where the supernatural event takes place is the school where my sister attends.
If you can't do it, you'll have to live in the school 24 hours a day.
"That's what I thought, you know, why I'm the only one who has my eye on it?"
Taking a sip of beer, Wang Lu said, "Because it reminds me of what happened when I was a child." ”
Mirrors, candles.
and the ghost that descends at midnight.
Although the details have changed a lot, the legend of "Bloody Mary" is simply a copy of the strange story he heard back then.
In this world, there must be gains and losses, but unfortunately he didn't understand this truth when he was a child.
He got vision that didn't belong to him, but he didn't know what to pay.
However, Wang Lu did not rush to tell Gu Yun the identity of Teacher Wu.
"To be honest, I'm not interested in what happened to you as a child, so let's talk about school."
"Hey, what's the matter with you?"
Even if you are not interested, at least out of respect, pretend to be interested!
Wang Lu had just taken a sip of beer and brewed for a long time, but he was choked back by Gu Yun's words.
Well, let's get down to business.
"First of all, we have to find a way to properly investigate the school."
"It can be a little difficult."
Gu Yun said.
His relationship with the old man of the janitor has not been harmonious, and since he wandered around the school gate with a hammer in the middle of the night, he seems to have been included in the list of suspicious characters in the old man's heart.
After today's incident, the other party may be more wary of him.
"I've figured it out."
"Do you have a way?"
"When I came, I saw that this high school was recruiting night shift security guards, 500 yuan a night, we can try."
Wang Lu didn't take the doorman's reaction to heart.
After many years of crawling in society, he understood the most simple truth.
If you can't beat it, join in.
We're joining you now and working as security guards with you, so we can't still be suspicious, right?
"But they seem to have recruited people."
Gu Yun remembered that when he was on the first floor, he met two young men who were patrolling with the old man.
"What's this, the position of the temporary worker, it's all operable."
"There's no need to go overboard, right?"
"I'll be sure, we're not talking about one thing—tell me first, what are you going to do?"
"What else can be done? Of course, after they get off work, follow them home, so that they can no longer take on the work of security guards. ”
Gu Yun sank his face.
The guild in the village had a lot of assassination commissions in the first place, but he had always been dismissive of assassinations.
What he advocates is to defeat the opponent from the front when the opponent is fully prepared.
But if it involves my sister, it's not that I can't consider breaking some principles.
"Well, I'm glad I asked."
There is Teacher Wu in the front, and Gu Yun in the back.
This made Wang Lu wonder if the assassination was suddenly legalized when he didn't know it.
"Leave the matter of the night shift security guard to me, you are waiting for my news at home. What we are going to talk about now is more technical work. ”
Wang Lu was accustomed to the hardships of this business, and most of the time, they didn't even know what kind of creature they were facing.
A female ghost with empty eyes and blood and tears?
No matter how you think about it, they are all images that have been processed through art, and their job is to peel back the cocoon and extract the useful information from it.
In other words, no matter how many eyes and heads this female ghost has, it is not the point, the focus is on her purpose.
"Thanks to you, I thought of this, and you take a closer look at the text messages."
"How?"
"She guides you through the summoning ritual step by step, which means that this is a very purposeful ghost."
And later, she even guided Gu Yun to save him from danger.
So, if the previous attacks were also caused by ghosts, it shouldn't have been just accidental.
There must be some kind of deeper connection among them.
"After you finished the ritual, did you notice anything unusual?"
"It's not me, it's Gu Tiantian, I can't read the string of letters you wrote at all."
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Wang Lu stood up directly from his chair, "Why did you only tell me about such an important matter now?" ”
"Nothing happened at the time, and I guess the ceremony was fake."
"If it was fake, she wouldn't have guided you through the ritual!"
Until now, Wang Lu suddenly understood the reason.
"There's no time to explain, hurry back, she's eyeing your sister! I'll go to the side of the road and catch a car now......"
Before the words fell, there was no longer Gu Yun in front of him.
"Hey, you're waiting for me......"
Wang Lu got up and wanted to chase after him, but a tall man stood in front of him.
The man's arm exposed to the cold wind was bruised, and the blade in his hand shone with a bright cold glow.
Killer!
Wang Lu immediately judged the identity of the other party.
Teacher Wu and the organization behind her did not give up, they were just waiting for Gu Yun to leave!
Under Wang Lu's gradually frightened gaze, the tall man slowly spoke.
"Two bottles of beer, five strings of chicken skin, five strings of chicken hearts, five strings of leeks, and ten strings of tendons, adding up to a total of 72 yuan, a small business, no credit."
………………
10:34 a.m.
The electronic clock on the desk shows such a number.
Gu Tiantian, who was lying on the bed, turned over, she unconsciously opened her mouth and exhaled a cold breath.
In the round mirror on the bedside table, a different scene is reflected.
The woman standing in front of the window was about her age, she turned her back to the mirror, and stretched out her pale right hand to Gu Tiantian.
Looking at Gu Tiantian's slightly frowning brows, his outstretched right hand retracted like an electric shock.
The figure in the mirror seems to be in a momentary confusion.
Eventually, as if she had made up her mind, she reached out again.
The figure took a deep breath.
The quilt that had slipped off due to turning over was gently lifted upward.
And then—
"Sister, are you okay?"
"Ouch!"
The bedroom door was kicked several meters away, and the earth-shattering noise frightened Gu Tiantian to jump three feet high.
Gu Tiantian stood barefoot on the bed, staring at Gu Yun in shock, and this silent picture lasted for dozens of seconds.
"Brother——!
The long-lost scream, "What kind of nerves do you have at night!" ”
The moonlight shone into the room, but the figure in the mirror was gone.
