Chapter 5 is titled "If You Are a Brother, Come and Cut Me"

Alright, I promise you.

"What happened next?" Gu Tao took out his ancestral little black book and said, "Please continue."

Warning! Warning!

Are you hiding something from me? Be honest, are you involved in some kind of cult?

Gu Tao's expression was as if he had seen someone in front of him drink a large bowl of boy's urine and then burp. He thought to himself, this son of a gun must really be running a black shop, how could not a single employee survive here? Then why is he still hiring?

Your little green one may have gone to find a girlfriend

Later, he died, and I still knew nothing, so I could only rely on the little I had left in this house. Moreover, it seems that anyone who gets too close to me tends to have bad luck. Before you, I had hired several people; the last one was walking fine until a flower pot fell on him and killed him, the one before that bled to death after being injured by a fish bone while eating fish, and the one before that fell into a manhole that had no cover.

Although this statement is somewhat metaphysical, it surprisingly shares similarities with the knowledge that Gu Tao had previously studied. Therefore, when this individual made such a remark, Gu Tao's expression at that moment was quite remarkable

Really look.

Gu Tao did not cancel the alert, and then he retreated to the other side of the house, watching Xin Chen take out a beautifully designed long sword from that bag

Xin Chen, holding the sword, glanced at Gu Tao, and then with a clang, dropped the sword to the ground. Although the sword automatically returned to his side, he showed no reaction whatsoever, merely staring blankly at Gu Tao, who was not far away.

The entire body is matte black, with the joints featuring a seamless structure that exudes a sense of advanced technology. The fully enclosed helmet is adorned with four pairs of compound eyes that flicker with red light, while the particle blade extending from the left arm emits a dangerous glow. The right arm displays a photon shield, and the pulse cannon that has emerged from the shoulder is already aimed at Xin Chen

This plot is, emmmm... somewhat fantastical

Xin Chen held the sword and said, "The old man told me that this sword can slay demons and evil spirits, pacify the mortal realm, and clear the celestial domain"

I don't even know if I am a cult. Xin Chen said mysteriously while propping herself up on the counter, "When I was six years old, an old man passed by my house. He told my parents that I was the reincarnation of a demon star, and that anyone who got too close to me would have bad luck. Plus, I have been able to see ghosts since I was little. So my parents believed him, and that's why they were hardly ever home, eventually running off with someone else.

Gu Tao sat on the bench with his arms crossed and said, "I quit"

How pitiful it is, to what extent of loneliness must one reach to utter such words. However, he does appear to be quite handsome. If only he were a girl, Gu Tao truly thinks that the girls on Earth are very lovely. The women from the home planet have such high intelligence that a simple joke told on Earth can amuse the girls, while on the home planet, telling a joke requires a round of logical dialectics, which is exhausting to watch

Yes, yes, yes, I am fine, but if I hadn't had the defense system last night and couldn't see your little green one, I would probably have become a handsome ghost, and it would have been the kind of ghost that transforms.

No, haha... right, haha...

Setting aside Xin Chen's pitiful appearance, Gu Tao is not actually afraid that he can influence him. Back in training, he survived for one hundred days in the most adverse conditions. The equipment was the same as now, or even worse. However, in that place, the surface temperature during the day could reach 220 degrees, while at night it dropped to minus 75 degrees. There were also large arthropods and highly corrosive liquids that would surge out from underground crevices at midnight.

The attack range of the spider robot is approximately 5 meters. Within this range, their speed exceeds that of any bullet. If Xin Chen were a member of a cult running an illegal operation, then as long as he wished to harm Gu Tao in any way, the spider robot could tear him to shreds

Little Green is genderless. Xin Chen looked at Gu Tao with an expression that seemed to say, "If you don't understand, don't speak carelessly": "It is pure yin energy, without memory or physical form, so how could it have a gender"

Xin Chen fell silent for a moment, then quietly raised his head to look at Gu Tao: "Do you really want to see it?"

Gu Tao glanced back at him and found that he did not seem to have any intention of launching a surprise attack, despite Gu Tao having seen through his true intentions: "You really are not a member of a cult?"

Gu Tao seemed to have noticed Xin Chen's discomfort. Standing at the bathroom door, he looked at Xin Chen, who was sitting on the toilet with a phone in hand. The two locked eyes, yet there was no hint of awkwardness between them.

What is Yuan Yang Fire? Gu Tao tilted his head and took out a small notebook: What does this term mean?

Yes

Miso ... ...

In fact, I also think so, but the old man teaches me a few things when he has nothing to do, though they are all rather mystical, such as subduing demons and vanquishing evil, or striking down the universe. Learning these has been of no use; the employers do not recognize such things. When applying for jobs, they ask me about my educational background, and I can only say that I dropped out of elementary school. As for my special skills... I usually say subduing demons and vanquishing evil.

Subduing demons and vanquishing evil... Gu Tao held back his laughter, as the other person's experiences were already quite tragic. Although it sounded amusing no matter how one listened to it, it would truly be inappropriate to laugh out loud at this moment

After Xin Chen saw Gu Tao's expression, it seemed as if he immediately forgot about his little green friend, turned around, and walked into the bathroom. Then, sounds of washing up could be heard from inside, along with Xin Chen's unpleasant alarm clock ringing.

As soon as this object was taken out, Gu Tao's watch began to vibrate wildly, and then his individual exoskeleton rushed down from the upper floor, attaching itself to his wrist, ready to deploy at any moment

A sharp sound with a prolonged tone echoed in the room, and Gu Tao's warning level had also reached the highest point. Before he could intervene, his exoskeleton had already automatically donned itself onto his body

Is it dead

"I am not superstitious. The police have also investigated, and they all said it has nothing to do with me, not at all! I am innocent." Xin Chen said stubbornly, "Look, you are fine too, aren't you?"

Gu Tao stared at Xin Chen and said very seriously: "You may have encountered a scammer"

Well... People generally like to hear good things, and Gu Tao is no exception. Upon hearing Xin Chen say this, he immediately felt happy. Although he still did not fully understand concepts like the Yuan Yang Fire, it was enough for him to hear someone say that he was fortunate, which brought him great joy

Gu Tao did not know how to explain to this guy that the eyes of normal people cannot perceive anything other than a small portion of colored light. The spirit body belongs to pure energy, just like electrical energy. What people can see is merely the discharge of electric arcs, which is ionic electrical energy. Most of the time, one still has to rely on an electric pen.

"Look at your dead appearance." Gu Tao turned around and walked downstairs, but he had already quietly activated the security program. The spider robot in the room instantly arrived within a two-meter range of him

As Xin Chen walked down from upstairs, Gu Tao was squatting at the store entrance brushing his teeth. Upon hearing his voice, Gu Tao immediately became alert, like a startled cat, almost ready to puff up its fur.

There is no longer a vegetative state.

Why did I think you could see the little green one? It is because your Yang energy is too strong, and I thought you were also a celestial master

"What are you staring at? Get to work." Xin Chen brought a bag of provisions to the counter, opened the computer, and sat down with a thud: "I’m going to start playing games. You go buy some pancakes, and then we’ll have breakfast."

Having faced all kinds of situations, what can such a suspected disaster bring upon him

Brushing teeth

"So, can you really subdue demons and eliminate evil spirits?" Gu Tao looked at Xin Chen with considerable skepticism. "Why not give us a demonstration?"

I just found five yuan in the pocket of my change of clothes in the bathroom, you can take it to buy a pancake, let's share it equally.

Don't worry, you will really be fine. I can see your vital energy, it is very, very strong

This is quite awkward. Gu Tao tapped his helmet with his hand, producing a dull sound

"Why do I sound so miserable?" Gu Tao stroked his beardless chin and asked, "How have you lived this long?"

Gu Tao rubbed his face and said: "First, let me explain what is Yuan Yang Fire."

After receiving a response from Gu Tao, Xin Chen happily walked to the door, pulled down the rolling shutter, and after turning on the light, he took out a long object wrapped in gray cloth from the bottom layer of the counter

Then promise me, after you finish reading, don't leave, okay? I haven't had anyone to talk to for a long time

"Human beings possess three types of fire, and the Yuan Yang fire is the one located at the crown of the head. The old man said that the more vigorous the Yuan Yang fire, the stronger the vitality of a person, to the extent that they can survive even in the face of cataclysmic events." Xin Chen said with a serious and sincere expression: "Your fire has already reached the roof; I noticed it yesterday."

Arthropods, it is no exaggeration to say, if those creatures had even slightly higher intelligence, humanity would truly be in jeopardy. Their combat capability is absolutely twenty times that of humans of the same size, or even higher. The scenes from the training back then still send a chill down Gu Tao's spine when he recalls them.

The old man said that anyone related to me cannot be taken away, so they left everything behind, and the old man moved into my house, spending the entire day drinking and eating meat with my family's rent, and he even beat me

Gu Tao raised his head and asked angrily, "Then why are you still recruiting me?"

Although there is no definitive scientific research on ghosts and similar phenomena on Earth, a complete technological framework has already been established on the home planet. While studying such matters may not be particularly useful, it is largely due to the boredom of scientists. However, to quote a deceased luminary from the academic community of the home planet, "Science is meant to explain everything; there are no unexplainable phenomena, only insufficiently developed technology." Gu Tao, as part of that group, is likely engaging in this research to take this statement seriously, aiming to demonstrate that their technology is sufficiently advanced.
