"You two are running around...you probably don't just like traveling, right?" Vivian looked at the Nangong brothers and sisters, her eyes full of questions.
Nangong Sanba and his sister looked at each other and could only nod and admit: "Indeed, usually the smartest thing for people like us is to find a place to hide in seclusion, but my sister ran out... I can only follow her out."
"I want to find the whereabouts of my mother," Nangong Wuyue said bluntly, "She should still be on this planet."
Vivian suddenly remembered this matter, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me! You said that your parents are no longer alive. Not to mention the demon hunters, the sea monster race cannot really die. What on earth is going on?
What's going on?"
When Vivian asked, Hao Ren also reacted. When he heard that "the sea monster is immortal", he didn't think much of it. As a result, he ignored Nangong Wuyue's mention that her mother had passed away. Now that he thought about it,
Only then did I realize something was wrong!
Nangong Wuyue slowly told another story from the past: "When I was sixteen years old, something happened at home - an angry spirit appeared in the place where we lived in seclusion. My father let my brother and I escape. He said that he and my mother could deal with that
Monster, but when my brother and I returned the next day, we found that the entire family had disappeared, and my parents were also missing..."
Vivian was surprised: "Angry spirit? There are still angry spirits running out these days?"
"What is the angry spirit?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"A deformed... negative monster that is hard to describe," Vivian frowned. "It is said to be an undead from another dimension. Some people also say that it is a projection of the world's negative emotions in another world that was pulled into this world.
They look like an amorphous cloud that can change between reality and reality. They have no logic or reason and cannot communicate. They will attack all living things. Not only does the angry spirit have no fixed form, but its combat power also varies.
Some of them can even be dealt with by ordinary people using talismans and the like, while others require a team of demon hunters to deal with them. Because the gap between them is so big, some people think that the angry spirits are not a race at all but a whole race.
A natural phenomenon. In ancient times, angry spirits were still very common. At that time, some powerful aliens liked to build some dangerous energy devices. These devices could easily attract angry spirits. However, I have rarely seen those things since the steam age.
It seems... they can only be generated in open, inaccessible places. And when they are generated, there must be 'bait' formed by supernatural forces around them. It is difficult to find an environment that meets this condition now."
Hao Ren nodded, and Nangong Wuyue continued: "I still remember what I saw that day. The whole house seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving nothing behind. There was only a neat big pit, which seemed to be
It was like the angry spirit blew up the entire area. My father probably didn't survive, but my mother was a sea monster, so she should have been resurrected somewhere. But my brother and I waited there for three years and my mother didn't.
When I came back...then I ran away from home and started looking for my mother's whereabouts. My brother kept chasing me everywhere..."
Nangong Sanba chuckled: "I'm afraid something will happen to her."
"Then you can't cause trouble for me all day long!" Nangong Wuyue punched Nangong Sanba on the back, "It's because you are so neurotic that I don't want to go with you!"
Everyone was immediately curious about how the two brothers and sisters got along. Nangong Wuyue pointed to a few pieces of rune paper that had not been put away on the table and explained angrily: "Did you see this? Once he finds my whereabouts, he will place them everywhere.
This thing. Then there were constant troubles like fires or explosions near where I lived. One time I rented a house, and the chapel next to it was struck by lightning more than forty times in one night. Just because he put the Thunder Talisman on it.
The card is buried near the ground wire of someone else’s lightning rod!”
"I'm not protecting you," Nangong Sanba murmured in defense. "When dad was still here, he taught us all the time that the outside world is very dangerous. I still know how to fight, but you haven't even learned how to fight.
, what should I do if I’m really targeted by a bad guy?”
With that said, Nangong Sanba smiled and explained to Hao Ren and the others: "Another advantage of burying these spell cards is that if patrolling demon hunters pass by, they will actively ignore this area because these spell cards
It means that there is already a demon hunter in charge of the local area, and the spell cards I used are all meaningful. The meaning expressed is 'there is someone in charge of the local area, and the combat power is sufficient, no support is needed'."
"Who said I can't fight!" Nangong Wuyue put his hands on his hips menacingly, "Do you believe that you can't even beat me? I just can't bear to fight with others. It's not like you don't know what the Siren is capable of.
.”
"Isn't this different? You can't do it, so I do it for you. You can just run around peacefully. I'll be on guard."
"Can your vigilance methods be more normal? And at least come out and tell me before you lose your mind! You've been sneaking around like a stalker all day long, setting traps behind you, and I'm even afraid of turning around and falling into the hole you dug."
"I have a special identity and am more eye-catching than you..." Nangong Sanba said while dodging his sister's thunderous fury, "I need to collect special materials from everywhere to make a medicine spell card or something. It's easy for me to compete with other demon hunters for this matter.
When people meet, I can fool around by myself, but if you happen to be nearby, something could easily happen, so it would be safer for us to move separately."
Listening to the argument between the brother and sister, Hao Ren finally figured out the ins and outs. In fact, everything was very simple:
More than a hundred years ago, a siren and a demon hunter had a strange love. Because there was no place for them among aliens and demon hunters, they lived in seclusion, and soon gave birth to brother and sister Nangong. After that, this
The family suffered a sudden disaster, and the two children survived, but the parents of Nangong's brother and sister disappeared after the battle. Nangong Wuyu believed that his mother must have been resurrected as a sea monster somewhere, so she waited at home to no avail.
Nangong Sanba ran out to search for the whereabouts of his relatives as soon as possible. Nangong Sanba probably didn't agree with this at first, but he couldn't overcome his sister's temper, so he could only acquiesce and followed him out.
Nangong Sanba's status as a demon hunter meant that he would occasionally meet other demon hunters, or at least occasionally be noticed by other demon hunters. Therefore, in order to prevent danger to his sister, and because he was not worried about the latter, he
He had no choice but to use his own method to protect Nangong Wuyue - now it seems that the method he adopted cannot be said to be stupid, but can only be said to be... a bit neurotic.
"Okay, you two will quarrel again if you have a chance in the future," Vivian saw that the Nangong siblings still didn't want to stop for a while, so she had to take the initiative to speak out, "I just want to ask, you haven't found your mother in so many years.
whereabouts?"
"I have searched all over the world, even including the North and South Poles," Nangong Wuyue sighed, "I have gone wherever there is water, and now there is no place I have missed except the deep sea. To be honest, I have given up a little.
"
Hao Ren thought for a while and suddenly understood: "So you settled here because you want to have a chance to ask us for help?"
"There is a reason for this, and another reason is that running around and avoiding the sight of the demon hunters is really exhausting, both physically and mentally. I want to find a place to stay and rest," Nangong Wuyue nodded sheepishly,
"Actually, I have been looking for an opportunity to tell you this, but...well, my family background is indeed a bit embarrassing. Sister Vivian seems to have a deep grudge against the witcher."
"Can't it be too deep?" Vivian snorted. "Back then, I worked hard to save some money and finally built a small house on the upper reaches of the Rhine River. However, they burned it down within two months of living there. From that day on
I have decided that I will be incompatible with the demon hunters in this life!"
Nangong Sanba's expression suddenly froze.
"Of course, except for your brother," Vivian glanced at Nangong Sanba, "I don't even think of him as a demon hunter."
Nangong Sanba murmured in a low voice: "Actually, I can be counted... Of course, it's better not to be counted now."
"Why haven't you gone to the deep sea?" Hao Ren asked Nangong Yuyue, "You've searched all over the world, why haven't you been to the deep sea? I think if your mother is still alive, the most likely way is to go back to her hometown."
"This is also the most regrettable part - in fact, I can't go to the deep sea on the earth," Nangong Wuyue frowned in confusion, "Actually, I have tried several times to go to the two legendary seas at the bottom of the Pacific and the bottom of the Atlantic.
I dive into the demon city, but I always get sent to other places inexplicably. I lose my sense of direction while swimming. At first, I thought it was because I really had a problem with my sense of direction, but I went on a trip with you a few days ago.
Planet, I realized that the problem was not with me, but with the planet’s ocean itself. Certain places... seemed to be restricted."
Is there some kind of restriction in the deep sea?! (To be continued...)
