Chapter 30: The decisive battle is coming
It's already winter, and in Gu Chen's words, the weather has gradually become as cold as the hearts of the world's people.
"What the hell is the matter with you asking me out?" Shui Yingyao's tone of voice to Gu Chen was still not so friendly.
Gu Chen still looked sleepy: "Dating." ”
"I'm going back."
"Ah...... That one...... I'm kidding...... In fact, I want to find you out to investigate. ”
"Don't you have to prepare for the final these days?"
"Will you come and see it?"
"I'm not interested."
"Oh, that's right...... Then I have no reason to do anything to prepare. ”
Shui Yingyao didn't want to entangle with him more on this issue, "Where to go first?" What clues do you have? ”
"I heard that there is a shop nearby that serves good Sichuan food......"
"I'm going back."
"Ah...... What, where your master lived before his death, take me to see it first......"
"Hmph...... Drive, Black Cat Bar. ”
…………
Gu Chen came to the second floor of the Black Cat Bar from the side fire staircase, with the word Fu on the door, which was already a little yellowed, he took the key from Shui Yingyao's hand, pushed the door and entered.
It was the first time he had walked into the room, a messy office, a faded leather couch, a worn-out TV, a pile of paper on the desk, many cigarette burns on the table, and coffee stains in the unwashed cup.
"Nothing here has been touched?" Gu Chen asked.
Shui Yingyao looked at the room thoughtfully, countless memories came to her heart, and she didn't seem to hear Gu Chen's question at all, just stood there without saying a word.
Generally speaking, it is often Gu Chen who ignores others, and it is rare for others to ignore him, and according to his character, he will definitely not let go of those who ignore him.
But this time, he just looked at Shui Yingyao, and did not interrupt her thoughts, but quietly observed her, those bright eyes, the faint sadness between the eyebrows, the fair skin that can be broken by blowing, and the moving face, Gu Chen seemed to be stupid, but he was not stupid or not, and there was a muddy expression on his face, and others couldn't see it......
"What are you looking at again?" Shui Yingyao came back to her senses, and found Gu Chen looking at her like that, so she couldn't help but raise her voice and ask.
"Why are you so excited......
"I ......" she was speechless for a while, and she felt a little overreacting, so she simply changed the subject: "What did you just ask me?" ”
"I'm too lazy to repeat it, you slowly reminisce about the memories."
"You!"
Gu Chen turned around with a smile and looked around by himself, Shui Yingyao didn't know why, he felt uncomfortable when he saw his smile, and that smile seemed to say: What you think in your heart, I know everything.
After a while, Gu Chen suddenly asked again, "Can you tell me something about you?" ”
"My business? ...... the hell you"
Gu Chen knew what she was going to say, so he interrupted directly: "You were brought up by your master, I want to get to know him from the side." ”
Shui Yingyao thought for a while and said: "My younger brother Yungu and I are the last generation of the Shui family, our family is different from other big families, there are very few people, so in our generation, only me and my younger brother are left, more than ten years ago, our parents mysteriously disappeared, Song Emperor Yu An's grandfather took us in, my younger brother is talented, Yu An's grandfather made an exception to accept him as an apprentice, and I followed Fu Ding'an, the king of Yama at that time, that is, the master. ”
"He used to be the King of the Ten Palaces?"
"That's right, but the current King of Yama is already my younger brother, and it can also be said that the master did it on purpose, the master is humble and has no quarrel with the world, and he just wants to be the most ordinary ghost hunter and protect those innocent people."
"So how did you live as a child? You won't live in this place with your master, will you? ”
"I have lived in the school since I was a child, Master has always spent money for me to go to the best school, I usually come back to study with him when I have time, I want to wait until I finish my studies in Xiangyi, I will come back to inherit the mantle of Master, and help him bear the title of Cat Master, but I didn't expect ......"
Gu Chen lit a cigarette and took a sharp puff: "Not good...... Pretty bad......"
"What did you say?" Shui Yingyao was immersed in sad memories, and Gu Chen suddenly came to such an evaluation, which made her heart feel nameless again.
At this moment, Gu Chen didn't have so much sentimentality in his mind, and he only came up with a few inferences: First of all, Fu Ding'an is very strong, maybe stronger than Lu Ping and Huang Youdu, and he has been dead for a while, and the complete spiritual unity of the ghost state should have been completed, plus this guy was "humble, indisputable, and only wants to protect those innocent people" before his death, then his resentment after being killed can be completely imagined......
Such a ghost is simply a super strong existence that is unshakable and invincible in terms of spirit and combat strength, and the most terrifying thing is that it is not yet known at all what form his revenge will come, Gu Chen has imagined that the entire city is facing a catastrophe that may come at any time.
…………
"This year's newcomer evaluation, the finals of the final five, are about to start, first of all, thank you very much for coming from afar......" Sun Lang's tirade began, and the first half of this paragraph is nothing more than thank you CCTV, MTV and the like...... Then praise all the newcomers who have come to participate this year, these are not the point, everyone is concerned about what this year's prize is, and who will the final glory fall on, of course, this is also related to the perimeter bets......
The venue for the final was in an abandoned factory building in the suburbs, which used to be a shipyard, and the place was so large that even if a missile exploded in it, it would not have much impact on the spectators in the distance.
Gu Chen looked for two laps in the crowd, and Shui Yingyao really didn't come to see his game, although it was expected, but it also made him feel inexplicably unhappy, so he was already planning to find an unlucky guy to vent his depression.
At this moment, Lu Ping, a guy who didn't know the current affairs, came over and asked, "Where have you been running all day today?" I don't call back, I want to give you a special lecture one last time. ”
Gu Chen glared at Lu Ping with his dead fish eyes, and squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Pick up a girl." ”
When Lu Ping heard this, he became interested: "Oh? Who? Could it be Shui Yingyao? What do you think? Where has the relationship progressed? Is it holding hands, kissing, or is it already ......"
Gu Chen squeezed out two more words: "Tragedy." ”
"Hahaha! Didn't you say she actually liked you? It's really self-inflicted, right? ”
"Anyway, the intelligence gathering is almost done, and it doesn't matter about personal matters, and she looks a little like she really hates me...... Alas...... Forget it, judging from the master-apprentice relationship between her and Fu Ding'an, she and I will turn our faces one day sooner or later. ”
Lu Ping patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and then win this game first." ”
"Take your paws away......"
"What did you say!"
"I'm really glad to see that you can still have such a good time." Duan Fei didn't know when he walked to Gu Chen's side, he played with the knife in his hand, and said very seriously: "If there is anyone who can fight with me in this competition, it is only you, I hope you don't disappoint me." ”
Gu Chen's expression was still decadent: "Huh? Did you kid take too much cough drops? If you dare to put such nonsense in front of me, believe it or not, I will call you to death with a slap......"
Duan Fei really didn't know what to say for his tasteless answer, so he could only snort coldly and leave. At this time, Sun Lang also said the key point, everyone's attention was attracted to the past, only to see him holding an iron umbrella in his hand and said: "This is the prize this time, the magic weapon given to the old man by an elder of Wutai Mountain many years ago: Hundred evils are not invaded." ”
