Chapter 34: Lucky Rabbit Feet (Part 1)
During the days without commission, Wang Lu was not idle either. This was the first time in his life that he wanted to take seriously. More importantly, the mastermind behind all urban legends is closely related to his future destiny.
"I have checked a lot of information these days and found some information."
Wang Lu said while eating, "For example, the evil spirit we encountered when we first met came from an urban legend called "White-Clothing Girl". Although the source of the legend has been found, you should have heard of it. It is a female ghost with disheveled hair that someone encountered on the road while driving 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.
Many movies use the legend of "The Woman in White" and are slightly processed and adapted into different versions.
"In Chen Yue's words, the initial female ghost in white was just a ghost who could not let go of his obsession after death, but later, after the influence continued to expand, it became a supernatural phenomenon."
Since An Ling was present, Wang Lu did not explain Chen Yue's explanation in detail.
The female evil spirits they encountered at the subway station were not the source of the legend of "The Woman in White", but the "substitute" produced after being harmed by the evil spirits.
Therefore, if they were not present at the time, An Ling would become the next "female ghost in white" after falling into the railway tracks, until she met the next "substitute" that could untie her obsession.
"The ghouls originated from Arab legends, and later they were derived many different versions. The more popular version is that the ghouls were originally humans. For various reasons, they devoured human flesh and were cursed by flesh and blood. The curse caused them to be hungry forever... How about it, is it very similar to the situation we saw at that time?"
After that incident, Wang Lu had nightmares for several days.
"Hey! You two are at a loss, there are still girls here!"
An Ling was so fed with goosebumps that Wang Lu could say. Although she was a game home, she would never touch horror games.
After graduating from college, she lived alone. Not to mention horror games, even horror novels or comics that involve some horror elements will make her unable to sleep at night.
So what An Ling hates the most is that someone suddenly posts a horrible picture in a group chat!
Super scary, okay?
And now, this uncle actually came to someone else's house early in the morning and told a horror story as if nothing had happened!
She spread her anger on the bun in her hand and took a vicious bite.
"Scared? But have you ever thought about what stuffing is made of the buns you eat now?"
Wang Lu suddenly turned to An Ling, with a gloomy expression and a low voice.
"I can taste the big meat stuffing."
Wang Lu:...
Anling:...
Anling looked at the other person with a look of caring for the elderly in the empty nest, "I bought it at the morning market downstairs. I often buy one on my way to work."
A bun is only sold for 1.5 yuan, which is the best choice for cheap and delicious.
This is unscientific!
In this atmosphere, shouldn’t An Ling scream and pounce on 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.
"Well, I'm just a little joke."
An Ling continued to eat buns - thanks to Wang Lu, who didn't look very smart, the horror atmosphere he had just accumulated disappeared without a trace.
"What about this time? What's the origin of that rabbit?"
Gu Yun asked a question.
"As early as the Celtic legend, people believed that some rabbits could bring people luck. Have you heard of the Celtics?"
Wang Lu asked mysteriously.
"I know, one of the three major barbarians in Europe in the early days."
An Ling once again successfully discovered Wang Lu's behavior.
Because settings like Celtics, Vikings and others have long been flooding in the game.
"Very good, classmate Anling, please don't answer questions in the future."
Wang Lu's face didn't look good. Could it be that everyone here was the only one who replied, "Is there any legend about the Lakers" to Chen Yue?
A few seconds later, Chen Yue sent him a question mark.
He looked at Gu Yun, whose face was as normal.
That's right!
Not to mention the three major barbarians in Europe, even Gu Yun has never heard of them.
So he doesn't know anything about the Celtics in history or the basketball team today.
From this we can see that the trap is invalid for those who don’t know anything.
"But not all rabbits can bring people luck. This legend was later perfected in North American legends. In addition to the species of rabbits, a wizard who is proficient in black witchcraft is also needed to cast spells."
The atmosphere in the room was quite strange, and Wang Lu could only bite the bullet and tell the clues he got from Chen Yue.
After leaving a large piece of text, Chen Yue said that she was busy these days and would not reply to any news.
"Of course, these are all legends after all, and that rabbit tribe has long been extinct."
In North American legend, Lucky Rabbit Foot later became a popular pendant for aristocrats and even the upper class, which also brought them a catastrophe.
"So you are telling me that I was not cursed by the rabbit today because of my bad luck?"
An Ling showed a look of "You are teasing me".
"There is a saying that the way to make lucky rabbit feet is very cruel. After killing the sacrifice, the wizards will imprison their souls in the pendant, so once the pendant is lost or damaged, the wearer will be backfired."
Although Wang Lu himself also thought these legends sounded a bit weird, the deaths of four people who made the news and the 100,000 reward issued by the boss of Liao's real estate that night all indirectly confirmed the authenticity of the legend.
Those four people suffered this fate because they lost the White Rabbit.
After Gu Yun and An Ling lost the White Rabbit, they also encountered unlucky events that could almost kill people.
The reason why they did not die was simply because Gu Yun had a problem.
After two incidents, Wang Lu understood it.
Gu Yun almost wrote invincibility on his face.
"So is there any way to crack the bad luck?"
Anling asked.
"The information Chen Yue gave me is not in the information that the person who lost the pendant died before people found a way to crack the bad luck."
"Hey, are you suggesting that I'm dead?"
"That may not be."
Wang Lu shook his head, "As long as you stay by this person, 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 forced her to carefully consider this issue.
In the end, she took the attitude that she would rather trust.
"Please, please! When I get my salary, I will definitely repay the favor!"
"You're so kind."
Gu Yun waved his hand.
Anling is one of his few friends and his sister's indispensable companion on the road to becoming the strongest human beings, so if Anling doesn't have to speak, he will also ensure the safety of the other party.
"Then, you guys stay here first, I'll go out and continue inquiring about the news."
Wang Lu said.
"No, leave this matter to me. I have one more important thing to ask you."
"Can you do it?"
"Why can't it work?"
"Okay, tell me."
"Do you have any remaining bounty last time?"
"There are still a thousand dollars."
"That's great, I'm a little worried about Gu Tiantian's safety."
With his current state, going to find his sister rashly will only transmit bad luck to the other party.
And these few thousand yuan is not a small amount.
"You use this money to hire a few world-class mercenaries to protect her safety, and I will pay it back when I have the money."
My sister has hardly ever touched the white rabbit and should not be affected by bad luck.
but!
