"Ji Wuchang?"

When Zhong Lu mentioned this name, Gu Tiantian and Zhou Lili thought about it carefully. After all, this is a name that sounds unfair.

Zhou Lili knows Zhong Lu very well. Unlike her, the latter is one of the few people who are not interested in gossip. When two or three of them in the dormitory gather together to talk about gossip such as urban legends, Zhong Lu is usually busy with her own affairs.

However, Zhou Lili thinks that anyone who stays for a long time will develop the habit of chatting about gossip and listening to gossip. After all, telling the dormitory that there is no TV or computer, so sleeping around at night has become an important part of their daily life to relieve stress.

Because of this, even Zhong Lu can tell the gossip that must be unusual.

Zhong Lu cleared her throat and continued, "Although I don't know if this is an urban legend, fifteen years ago, a student from the Kendo Society named Ji Wuchang disappeared mysteriously."

For fifteen years, it is not long, but it is not short. After disappearing, the three words Ji Wuchang have become a topic that has been circulated among kendo enthusiasts.

In the words of the current president, Ji Wuchang is simply a natural swordsman.

I joined the Kendo Club in my first year of high school and first came into contact with Kendo. However, I won all the swordsman geniuses in the city in just half a year. Such talents may only appear in novels. This is a template for the protagonist level of the novel.

"In fact, the Kendo Club in high school does not have a division between professional and amateur groups. Although every school welcomes novices who have no foundation to join, most of the people who can be selected to participate in the team to compete in the end are those who have been in the swordsmanship for several years."

When talking about swordsmanship, Zhong Lu can always talk nonstop.

As the vice president and manager of a Kendo Club in a high school, she has no better understanding of the composition of Kendo Club in a high school club than she does.

"The current kendo custom mainly originated in City N. In the past, kendo was not a skill used to compete on stage, but a killing skill used to kill enemies. Later, after continuous development and integration, it became a project that could compete on the arena."

In addition to the orthodox Kendo Hall, Zhong Lu also heard that there are some families who are proficient in swordsmanship in N City. She had watched short videos of the Ikeda family's sword drawing techniques online before. The speed of those professional swordsmanship really scared her.

"When Ji Wuchang defeated all his opponents, the president at that time recommended him to a professional gymnasium. Everyone, including the assistant coach, believed that Ji Wuchang had the potential to become a full-time swordsman. If he could make a name for himself in the gymnasium, he might be pre-admissioned by some famous schools with the tradition of the kendo club."

"Then I was beaten up in a game and I ruined my career as a professional swordsman?"

Zhou Lili subconsciously asked, and as of now, the development trajectory of the story makes her feel quite familiar.

"No, the president said that before a professional competition, Ji Wuchang rushed into the gym and injured more than a dozen people in a row."

Since being recommended to join the gym, the coach has attached great importance to this talented young man, and even used his influence to make an exception to allow Ji Wuchang to participate in the official competition of the adult group. On the one hand, the coach believes that Ji Wuchang has the ability to compete with professional swordsmen, and at the same time, he also hopes that the opponent can meet the real strong people in the formal competition and set a goal worth catching up.

If placed in hot-blooded novels or comics, everything seems to develop according to the kingly story template.

Until one evening, Ji Wuchang broke into the gym with a real knife.

"The coach is also one of the dozen injured. Since that incident, the coach's habitual hands have left serious sequelae. Since then, he has been unable to take on the coach's job and retreated behind the scenes. Ji Wuchang was also sent to the junior management office for this matter. But strangely, he mysteriously disappeared within a few days after being sent to the junior management office."

"Mysteriously missing?"

Gu Tiantian and Zhou Lili were both stunned for a moment.

The juvenile management office was closely guarded, and the disappearance in the juvenile management office really made the whole thing move towards the direction of urban legends.

and……

This urban legend is too detailed, so detailed that they feel immersive, just like the narrator personally experienced something fifteen years ago.

However, it is absolutely impossible in terms of age. Zhong Lu is a sophomore student like them.

17 years old, only two years old fifteen years ago.

Zhou Lili asked tentatively, "Zhong Lu, why do you know this so clearly?"

"Because the coach who was injured by Ji Wuchang was our president's father."

Zhong Lu said.

This is also the reason why she had questions about whether this was an urban legend at the beginning.

Fifteen years have passed, and people still have not found clues about Ji Wuchang's disappearance, but when she visited the president's house, she also saw the scars left on the president's father's forearm with her own eyes. Now, he is not to mention swinging his sword like a swordsman, even his hands tremble slightly when holding things.

"Ji Wuchang is just a ghost who escaped after slashing more than a dozen people. I really hope you will never meet him."

Zhong Lu said sincerely.

At the same time, she has always been worried about the president. This urban legend has mentioned it to her more than once. Although the president has never expressed his original intention of practicing sword, Zhong Lu feels that it is mostly related to the case fifteen years ago.

"Hope..."

After listening to this story that might have happened, Zhou Lili suddenly felt that she was in a bad mood.

Zhong Lu mentioned several implicit messages.

When the injury occurred fifteen years ago, Ji Wuchang was still a first-year high school student. According to his age, he was probably in his early 16 years old.

Isn’t Ji Wuchang just a middle-aged man with a sham beard in his 15 years later?

When he thought of this, even Zhou Lili couldn't help but become nervous with Gu Tiantian.

………………………………

At the same time, a Jiandao Hall in City X.

Wang Lu was wearing a thick cotton jacket and followed the bald man who led the way to the house at the end of the gym.

The sound of the sword swinging was heard, and the students in the gym focused on completing the sword swinging exercise without looking at the two of them.

This is not the first time Wang Lu has come to this famous gym in City X. Almost every year, he can see students who graduate from here at major kendo events.

The top of the house was full of portraits of honorary students, and the rows of golden trophys on the cabinet were really dazzling.

After the bald man sat down, he took out a disposable cup from the drawer and served tea, his right hand trembled unconsciously a few times.

"Teacher Lu, don't be so polite."

Wang Lu said politely.

Every time he saw the founder of this gym, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The "sequelae" of fifteen years ago has been left to this day. It is obvious that this once glorious coach has not yet come out of the shadow of the time.

What he did in the past and what he was about to do next was really a bit unauthentic in terms of human nature, just like revealing other people's scars.

However, in order to confirm the crucial speculation, he had to come this time.

"It's been almost ten years since I saw you."

Teacher Lu sighed, "I thought you had given up long ago."

He still remembers that the first time he met Wang Lu was twelve years ago. In the next three years, Wang Lu frequently visited him. This man almost pushed all the places Ji Wuchang could go to, but unfortunately he had no gains.

Finally one day, Wang Lu seemed to let go of all this and quit his job. No news came again.

After three years of running around for a case, Teacher Lu hasn't seen anyone with this quality for a long time.

Of course, for the industry Wang Lu once worked in, this is definitely a quality that causes trouble for himself.

"To be honest, I'm very pleased to see you still alive."

"lucky."

Wang Lu smiled, "I almost got rid of it a day ago."

"I know."

"You can see this?"

"The way you walk and the posture of holding things, but the most obvious thing is this."

Teacher Lu pointed to Wang Lu's neck. Although the wound on it was about to heal for some reason, based on his years of experience, it should be a very deep wound.

The cut surface is flat, and killing with one blow is like... the craftsmanship of those legendary kendo masters.

In other words, Wang Lu miraculously survived after being wiped with his neck. It seems that the King of Hell is not as dizzy as yet to find a good person to the underworld.

After a brief silence, Teacher Lu continued, "You... have you seen Ji Wuchang?"

This is also a name that can evoke Teacher Lu's past memories. Among all the students he has guided, Ji Wuchang showed unique talents in the swordsmanship.

There wasn't before, and I'm afraid there will not be any future.

"No, it's another person."

Wang Lu shook his head, "But it may also be related to Ji Wuchang."

He had already asked about past cases in those three years, and he could not make any breakthrough progress even if he re-reported the old things. However, after coming out of the "library", Wang Lu suddenly noticed a new detail.

Although the incident was twelve years later, when Wang Lu returned to the apartment at the time of the incident, he still investigated some clues.

For example, Yao Su's situation is different from Ji Wuchang.

Before disappearing, Yao Su was just a pretty girl. It would never be possible to kill an experienced detective with one blow with this point alone.

Similarly, a beginner who has just made his mark in kendo will never easily defeat a head coach who has won many places in various competitions.

"Teacher Lu, I suddenly remembered that there was another question I had never asked you."

"Um?"

"How did you lose to Ji Wuchang at the beginning?"

...

Teacher Lu did not answer immediately, and the atmosphere inside the room became a little dull.
