Ran Tianqi only has two children, the eldest son Ran Tianyou and his daughter Ran Susu.
Ran Tianyou was four years older than Ran Susu and was born in China. When he was three years old, his father was invited by his friend Yamaguchi, who was also a monster hunter, and brought his mother and him to Japan to continue his career as a monster hunter. I have a younger sister, Ran Susu.
The two brothers and sisters have a very good relationship. In their most innocent childhood, like many brothers and sisters, they had the idea of being with each other forever. However, the two brothers and sisters, as descendants of a family of monster hunters, have huge differences in talent. The difference in talent will have an impact on the future development of abilities such as formations, spells, and combat.
Ran Susu has been catching up with the level of her eight-year-old brother Ran Tianyou since she was four years old, and when her brother entered a bottleneck period in his studies as a monster hunter, her abilities continued to rise in a straight line. When Ran Susu had just turned ten, her father Ran Tianqi decided that she would succeed him in the future and become the next successor of the Ran family.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Ran Tianyou, as the eldest son, must have suffered tremendous pain and pressure because of this, but in fact he has never been jealous or resentful of his sister. He has long made up his mind that even if he has no talent, You must also rely on diligence and hard work to continue to become stronger, so that you can protect your sister as your right-hand man in the future.
That year, Ran Tianyou was twenty-two years old, and Ran Susu was just eighteen years old. Her age and good looks made her a girl that everyone loved. But because she was too junior high in every aspect, she also developed a competitive personality. Ran Tianyou knew Ran Susu very well, so he always protected her as much as possible.
One day, Ran Tianqi suddenly received a commission from a wealthy businessman in China. The wealthy businessman spent a lot of money to invite the Ran family to help investigate a bizarre case that happened to his daughter. A wealthy businessman only got this daughter when he was in his sixties, so he naturally regarded her as the apple of his eye and doted on her. Unexpectedly, his daughter had just been admitted to a prestigious domestic art academy, but unexpectedly disappeared when she went to Yongchuan Forest to sketch with her classmates. Although the police have classified it as an ordinary disappearance case, there has been no breakthrough in the case. The mysterious disappearance of the female college student was reported by many media, and for this reason, the forest became a forbidden area for a period of time.
As the police were still unable to determine the cause of his daughter's disappearance, the wealthy businessman hired multiple private detectives to investigate from another side. One of the private detectives found out a legend about Yongchuan Forest from the locals. It is said that there is a road leading to the demon world in that forest. However, because the entrance to the road is erratic, ordinary people cannot detect it, but Occasionally, someone wanders into it and gets lost.
At first, the wealthy businessman thought this legend was nonsense, but as time went by, he began to believe in various possibilities. When it comes to the demon world, wealthy businessmen naturally think of demon hunters. Since it is difficult for ordinary people to find the way to that world, they can only find these extraordinary people to help. After going back and forth, he contacted Ran Tianqi, who had already traveled across the ocean. The Ran family is the most famous family of monster hunters in the world. The history of the family can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Although the price is countless times higher than that of domestic monster hunters, For wealthy businessmen, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
Initially, Ran Tianqi wanted to send Ran Tianyou to collect information first. After all, Ran Susu was still young and a girl. Going out alone always made him uneasy. But at that time, Ran Susu and Yamaguchi's daughter Keiko were the most powerful competitors among the monster hunters of the same age. She always wanted to prove her strength by completing more challenging tasks, so she took the initiative to ask her father for help. Ran Tianqi couldn't win over his daughter and had to agree to her, while Ran Tianyou stayed in Japan to deal with various commissions that had been accepted there.
However, Tianyou never dreamed that this journey would completely change his sister's fate. Although her sister has shown extraordinary sympathy for monsters and monsters since she was a child, she should know very well that they are from two completely different worlds from hers, and emotions such as love and hate should not exist in her. and between them.
He believed that the reason why his sister fell in love with the so-called Lord of the Demon Realm was entirely because he did not resolutely choose him to take over the commission of the wealthy domestic businessman. If he had been more resolute, his sister would not have returned to the country, and even more so. There will be no death.
The night before his sister left home, after he helped her pack her bags, the two of them sat side by side on the table extending from the living room to the courtyard, each holding a can of cold beer in their hands, looking at the bright moon above their heads and the yard. The flowers and plants swayed gently in the wind, but they didn't say a word for a long time.
Ran Susu couldn't help but speak first. She patted Ran Tianyou on the shoulder and said, "Don't look so sad, brother! You're not handsome anymore!"
"You, you should be careful when you go out. Don't always show off, let alone meddle in other people's business! There are also monsters who are good at disguising themselves, don't believe their rhetoric easily! What you see with your eyes may not be true. Be more Use wisdom and reason." Ran Tianyou shook his head and instructed, then took a sip of beer. He knew that no matter how much he talked, he couldn't change his sister's character, but he still couldn't help nagging her over and over again.
"I know, actually I overheard the conversation between Uncle Yamaguchi and Dad that day. Keiko and you are finally getting engaged." Ran Susu said and winked at Ran Tianyou.
"Are you obviously eavesdropping?!" Ran Tianyou smiled shyly at first, and then said, "Yes, she has always been very good to me. We are going to get married sooner or later anyway. Rather than marrying a woman I don't understand, I would rather It’s better to marry Keiko, aren’t you right?”
"What! If you marry Keiko with this attitude, I won't agree! She is my good friend, you have to be nice to her!" Ran Susu suddenly opened her eyes and shouted.
"Aren't you competitors?! When did you become good friends again?!" Ran Tianyou was a little surprised by her overly intense reaction.
"Since we were very young, we have made an agreement to compete with each other. No one is allowed to fall too far behind the other, otherwise we will lose the qualifications to be friends."
"Your friendship is really weird!"
"So I cherish her very much, and you should also cherish her, you know?"
"Hey, why are you preaching to me?!" Ran Tianyou frowned and said. Only then did he realize that he had originally wanted to tell his sister more about what to pay attention to when staying alone, but instead she taught him a lesson.
"I will take good care of myself and won't show off." When she said this, Ran Susu stared at Ran Tianyou seriously, but soon she laughed mischievously, "But you also know, brother, How strong is your sister? Even if you don’t have to show off your strength, am I still invincible? Hahaha!"
However, just when Tianyou was about to have a fit and teach her a lesson, he saw her suddenly lift the cold beer can in her hand and put it against his mouth, leaving him speechless and feeling helpless at the same time. He cherished her from the bottom of his heart, and if he could choose, he would even wish to die in her place.
Although he later married Yamaguchi's daughter Keiko and had his own daughter, Ran Mingzhu, the guilt for his sister was always indelible in his heart. This guilt was like a wound that could never heal, and this wound often It will burst open and bleed, causing him extreme pain.
He has kept every letter sent back by his sister, which also contains some of the progress of her investigation at that time. Ran Susu believed that the person who abducted the daughter of a wealthy businessman was the famous monster Rakshasa. This monster likes to eat the hearts and blood of human girls to maintain its youthful appearance. She also found some conclusive evidence to prove her point of view.
Among them, the one that was recognized by the wealthy businessman was that in the cave where the great monster Rakshasa once hid, she found the clothes and backpack that the wealthy businessman's daughter was wearing when she disappeared, and brought them back to the wealthy businessman, and this commission was concluded. .
Although it was not directly stated in Ran Susu's letter, Tianyou could also read that the reason why she was able to enter the hiding place of the Rakshasa Mother in another world was because she obtained the master of the demon world, who she later became. With the help of her husband Ouyang Xueye. And this Rakshasa mother happens to be her husband's enemy and a subordinate of the monster who caused her ultimate death. Therefore, he decided to start with this clue and go alone to find the murderer of his sister and avenge her.
He left his wife and daughter, returned to China, and began to investigate on his own. At that time, he stayed at the Yujin Apartment located at No. 53 Pufang Road. At the beginning, he used his knowledge to try to find a way to connect the demon world and the human world, but he was never able to succeed. Later, he suddenly had a wonderful idea, which was to set up a monster locking array as a trap in the Yongchuan Forest where monsters had appeared. He thought that once the monsters were caught and forced to lead him, they would naturally find the mysterious entrance.
After a while, his demon-locking formation had been in place for some time, but no monster had been caught. Despite his disappointment, he was still looking for other clues. The only reason is that Ran Susu wanted to protect her husband and the world that belonged to him, but there were too few clues about the demon world and the place where she lived.
Just a month after he moved into Yujin Apartment, his demon locking array finally yielded results. I wonder if it was a coincidence or not, but the kid he caught turned out to be the ghost slave of the Rakshasa Mother. Under the guidance of the ghost slave, he finally learned how to enter the demon world, but the ghost slave did not obey and took him to see the Rakshasa Mother. Instead, he took him to a hotel called Sparrow in Yongchuan, the royal city.
His identity was quickly exposed, and he was almost caught by the hotel owner, Mrs. Lan. He escaped back to the world by chance, although he knew that he had been targeted by the men of the monster who had killed his sister Ran Susu, but he did not want to Giving up this only chance to avenge his sister, he hurriedly handed over the diary recording the various investigations he carried out after returning to the country to the hotel owner, and then returned to the Demon Realm King City. That night, Mrs. Lan's men sneaked into the Tulip Hotel to eradicate Ran Tianyou, but they couldn't find him and had to destroy all his belongings.
Since then, Ran Tianyou has lost contact with his family. Although most people think that he is dead, his wife Keiko has another say. After losing her good friend Ran Susu, she cannot accept that her husband Ran Tianyou is also dead. Will die. She believed in her husband. In her eyes, her husband was rigorous and proficient in all kinds of monster hunting knowledge. In addition, with his love for herself and her daughter Ran Mingzhu, he would not be so easy. Just leave this world.
But why didn't he come back? Or even cut off contact with everyone? Keiko couldn't tell the reason. While waiting for her husband's return, she managed the businesses of the Yamaguchi family and the Ran family alone, while raising the Ran Pearl.
