It's already winter, and in Gu Chen's words, the weather has gradually become as cold as the hearts of the world.
"What's the matter with you asking me out?" Shui Yingyao's tone to Gu Chen was still not so friendly.
Gu Chen still looked sleepy like that: "A date."
"I want to go back."
"Ah... that... I was joking... I actually wanted to ask you to come out and investigate together."
"Don't you have to prepare for the finals these days?"
"Will you come and see?"
"I'm not interested."
"Oh, that's it... Then I have no reason to make any preparations."
Shui Yingyao didn't want to get entangled with him on this issue, "Where are you going first? Do you have any clues?"
“I heard that there is a restaurant nearby that serves good Sichuan food…”
"I want to go back."
"Ah... so what, your master's former residence, 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 fire stairs on the side. There was a yellowed blessing letter on the door. He took the key from Shui Yingyao, pushed the door and entered.
This is the first time he has entered this room, a messy office, a faded leather sofa, a dilapidated TV, piles of papers on the desk, many marks from cigarette butts on the table, and still in the unwashed cup. Leaves coffee stains.
"No one has touched the things here?" Gu Chen asked.
Shui Yingyao looked at the room thoughtfully, countless memories flooded his mind, it seemed that he didn't hear Gu Chen's question at all, and just stood there without saying a word.
Generally speaking, it is often Gu Chen who ignores others, and it rarely happens that others ignore him. According to his personality, he will definitely not let people who ignore him go.
But this time, he just looked at Shui Yingyao, and didn't interrupt her thoughts, but quietly observed her, those bright eyes, the faint sadness between the brows, that fluffy fair skin, There is also a moving face, Gu Chen seems to be fascinated by it, but whether he is infatuated or not, his face is full of that muddled expression, and no one else can see it...
"What are you looking at again!" Shui Yingyao came back to his senses, and found that Gu Chen was looking at her like that, so he couldn't help asking in a raised voice.
"Why are you so excited..."
"I..." She was at a loss for words for a while, and she felt a little overreacted, so she simply changed the subject: "What did you ask me just now?"
"I'm too lazy to repeat it, you slowly recall the memories."
"you!"
Gu Chen turned around with a smile, and looked around on his own. Shui Yingyao didn't know why, but he felt uncomfortable when he saw his smile. The smile seemed to say: I know everything about what you think.
After a while, Gu Chen suddenly asked again: "Can I tell you something about you?"
"My business? What the hell are you..."
Knowing what she was going to say, Gu Chen 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 Yun Gu and I were originally 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 my younger brother and I are left. Yes, more than ten years ago, our parents disappeared mysteriously. Grandpa Yu An, the emperor of Song Dynasty, took us in. My younger brother was very talented, and Grandpa Yu An made an exception to accept him as a disciple. Master."
"He used to be the King of Hades?"
"That's right, but now King Yan Luo is my younger brother. It can also be said that Master did it on purpose. Master is humble and does not contend with the world. He just wants to be the most ordinary ghost hunter and protect those innocent people." .”
"So how did you live when you were a child? You wouldn't live in this crappy place with your master, would you?"
"I have lived in the school since I was a child. Master has always paid for me to go to the best school. I usually come back to study with him when I have time. I want to come back to inherit the mantle of Master after I finish Xiangyi's studies. Helping him bear the title of Lord Cat, I never expected..."
Gu Chen lit a cigarette and took a puff: "Not good... quite bad..."
"What did you say?" Shui Yingyao was immersed in sad memories, when Gu Chen made such a comment suddenly, it made her feel angry again.
At the moment, Gu Chen doesn't have so much sentimentality in his mind, he only draws a series of inferences: First, Fu Ding'an is very strong, maybe stronger than Lu Ping and Huang You, and he has been dead for a while, The complete integration of the spirit and body in the ghost state should have been completed, and this guy was "modest, aloof from the world, and only wanted to protect those innocent people" before his death, so the resentment after he was killed can be imagined...
Such a ghost is simply a super existence that is unshakable and invincible both in terms of spirit and combat strength. The most terrifying thing is that it is still completely unknown what form his revenge will come in. Gu Chen It has been imagined that the whole city is facing a catastrophe that may come at any time.
…
"This year's rookie evaluation, the finals of the top five will start soon. First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming from afar..." Sun Lang's long speech began. The first half of this sentence is nothing more than thanking CCTV, MTV and the like... Then praise all the newcomers who participated this year. These are not the main points. Everyone is concerned about what this year's prizes are, and who will get the final glory. Of course, this is also related to the peripheral bet…
The venue for the finals this time was in an abandoned factory building in the suburbs. It used to be a shipyard, and the place was astonishingly large. Even if a missile exploded in it, it would not have much impact on the audience in the distance.
Gu Chen searched the crowd twice, and Shui Yingyao did not come to see his game. Although it was expected, it also made him feel inexplicably unhappy, so he was already planning to find an unlucky guy to vent his depression emotions.
At this moment, Lu Ping, an ignorant guy, came over and asked, "Where have you been all day today? You didn't answer the phone, and I want to give you a final special training."
Gu Chen glared at Lu Ping with his dead fish eyes, and squeezed out two words: "Pick up girls."
Lu Ping became interested as soon as he heard it: "Oh? Who? Could it be Shui Yingyao? How is it? How far has the relationship progressed? Is it holding hands, kissing, or already..."
Gu Chen squeezed out another two words: "Tragedy."
"Hahaha! Didn't your kid say that she actually likes you? Sure enough, she's just pretending to be affectionate?"
"Anyway, the intelligence collection is almost done, and personal matters don't matter anymore. She looks a bit like she really hates me... Sigh... Forget it, judging from the relationship between her and Fu Ding'an as a master and apprentice, I and Fu Ding'an Sooner or later, she will turn her back."
Lu Ping patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, let's win the game first."
"Get your claws off..."
"What did you say!"
"I'm really happy to see that you can still chat so happily." Duan Fei walked up to Gu Chen at some point. He played with the knife in his hand and said very seriously: "If there is anyone in this competition You can fight me, and only you, I hope you will not disappoint me."
Gu Chen's expression was still decadent: "Ah? Did you drink too much cough medicine, kid? If you dare to put such nonsense in front of me, believe it or not, I'll slap you to death..."
Duan Fei really didn't know what to say to his lackluster answer, so he could only leave with a cold snort. At this time, Sun Lang also said the key point, and everyone's attention was attracted. He held an iron umbrella in his hand and said: "This is the prize this time. It was given by an elder in Wutai Mountain many years ago." The magic weapon for the old man: Hundred evils will not invade."
