It's already winter, and in Gu Chen's words, the weather has gradually become as cold as the world's people.
"Why did you ask me out?" Shui Yingyao's tone of voice to Gu Chen was still not so friendly.
Gu Chen still looked sleepy: "Date."
"I want to go back."
"Ah...that...I was joking...actually I wanted to find you to come out and investigate together."
"Don't you have to prepare for the finals these days?"
"Will you come and see me?"
"I'm not interested."
"Oh, that's it...then I have no reason to make any preparations."
Shui Yingyao didn't want to get into more trouble with him on this issue, "Where to go first? What clues do you have?"
“I heard there’s a restaurant nearby that serves good Sichuan food…”
"I want to go back."
"Ah... then what, your master's residence before his death, please take me to see it first..."
"Hmph... drive to the 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 word "Fu" on the door. He took the key from Shui Yingyao and pushed the door open.
This was the first time he walked into this room. It was a messy office, with faded leather sofas and a worn-out TV. There were piles of papers on the desk. There were many marks burned by cigarette butts on the tabletop. There were still stains in the unwashed cups.
There are coffee stains left.
"No one has touched anything here?" Gu Chen asked.
Shui Yingyao looked at the room thoughtfully, countless memories came to 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, Gu Chen usually ignores others, and it rarely happens that others ignore him. According to his character, he will definitely not let go of those who ignore him.
But this time, he just looked at Shui Yingyao, without interrupting her thoughts, but quietly observing her, those bright eyes, the faint sadness between her eyebrows, her fair skin that could be broken by a blow,
There is also a moving face. Gu Chen seems to be crazy about it, but whether he is crazy or not, his face has that confused expression that no one else can see...
"What are you looking at again!" Shui Yingyao came back to her senses and noticed Gu Chen looking at her like that, so she couldn't help but raise her voice and asked.
"Why are you so excited..."
"I..." She was speechless for a moment, and she felt that she was overreacting, so she simply changed the subject: "What did you ask me just now?"
"I'm too lazy to repeat it again. You can slowly recall the memories."
"you!"
Gu Chen turned around with a smile and started looking around. Shui Yingyao didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable when she saw his smile. That smile seemed to say: I know everything you are thinking.
After a while, Gu Chen suddenly asked again: "Can you tell me something about you?"
"My matter? What on earth are 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 brother Yun Gu and I are 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 brother and I are left.
More than ten years ago, our parents disappeared mysteriously. Grandpa Yu An, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, took us in. My younger brother was extremely talented, so Grandpa Yu An made an exception and accepted him as his disciple. And I followed the then King of Yama, Fu Ding'an, who was
Master."
"He used to be the King of Hell in the Tenth Palace?"
"That's right, but now King Yama is my younger brother. It can also be said that Master did it intentionally. Master is a humble man and has no fight 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 shabby place with your master, right?"
"I have lived in the school since I was a child, and my master has always paid for me to study in the best schools. I usually come back to study with him when I have time. I want to wait until I finish my studies at Xiangyi to come back and inherit my master's legacy.
Help him take on the title of Cat Master, I didn’t expect..."
Gu Chen lit a cigarette and took a deep puff: "It's not good... it's quite bad..."
"What did you say?" Shui Yingyao was immersed in sad memories, when Gu Chen suddenly made such a comment, which made her feel angry again.
At this moment, Gu Chen didn't have so much sentimentality in his mind. All he could draw was a series of inferences: First of all, Fu Ding'an was very strong, probably stronger than Lu Ping and Huang You, and he had been dead for a while.
The complete spiritual body integration in the ghost state should have been completed. In addition, this guy was "modest, unconcerned, and only wanted to protect those innocent people" during his lifetime, so you can fully imagine his resentment after being killed...
Such a ghost is simply a super-powerful being that is unshakable both mentally and in terms of combat strength and is difficult to defeat. The most frightening thing is that we still have no idea in what form his revenge will come. Gu Chen
It has been imagined that the entire city is facing a disaster that may come at any time.

"This year's newcomer evaluation and the finals of the top five are about to begin. First of all, thank you very much for coming from afar..." Sun Lang began his long speech. The first half of this paragraph was nothing more than thanking CCTV, MTV and the like.
...and then praise all the newcomers who participated this year. These are not the focus. What everyone is paying attention to is what this year's prize will be, and who will get the final glory. Of course, this is also related to
Peripheral bets…
The venue for this final was an abandoned factory building in the suburbs. It used to be a shipyard. The place was so large that even if a missile exploded in it, it would not have much impact on the distant audience.
Gu Chen searched the crowd twice, and it turned out that Shui Yingyao didn't come to watch his game. Although it was expected, it also made him feel inexplicably unhappy, so he was already planning to find someone unlucky to vent his frustration.
emotions.
At this moment, Lu Ping, a guy who was ignorant of current affairs, came over and asked, "Where have you been all day today? You didn't even return your calls. I want to give you a special training at the end."
Gu Chen stared at Lu Ping with his dead fish eyes and squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Pick up girls."
Lu Ping became interested as soon as he heard this: "Oh? Who? Is it Shui Yingyao? How is it? How far has the relationship progressed? Is it holding hands, kissing, or already..."
Gu Chen squeezed out two more words: "Tragedy."
"Hahaha! Didn't you say that she actually likes you? She is really just being sentimental, isn't she?"
"Anyway, the intelligence collection is almost done. 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's master and apprentice,
Sooner or later, she and I will fall out."
Lu Ping patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Win this game first."
"Take your claws away..."
"What did you say!"
"I'm really happy to see you chatting 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,
The only one who can fight me is you, I hope you won’t disappoint me."
Gu Chen's expression was still decadent: "Ah? Did you take too much cough medicine? If you dare to say such nonsense in front of me, believe it or not, I will slap you to death..."
Duan Fei really didn't know what to say to his dishonest answer, so he could only snort and leave. At this time, Sun Lang also said the key point, everyone's attention was attracted, and they saw him holding his hand.
An iron umbrella on the top said: "This is the prize this time, a magic weapon given to me by an elder from Mount Wutai many years ago: Invincible to all evil."
