"You two are running around... don't you just like to travel?" Vivienne looked at the Nangong brothers and sisters with questioning eyes.
Nangong Sanba and his sister looked at each other, and could only nod to admit: "Indeed, under normal circumstances, the smartest people like us are to find a place to live in seclusion, but my sister ran out... I can only follow."
"I want to find out the whereabouts of my mother," Nangong Wuyue said bluntly, "she should still be on this planet."
Vivian suddenly thought of this, "If you don't tell me, I'll forget it! You said that your parents are no longer alive, not to mention the demon hunter, it is impossible for the sea monster race to really die. What the hell is going on? What's going on?"
When Vivian asked, Hao Ren also came to his senses. He didn't think too much about it when he heard that "the sea monster is not dead". As a result, he ignored Nangong Wuyue's mention of her mother's death. Now that he thinks about it Only then did I realize something was wrong!
Nangong Wuyue slowly told another story: "When I was sixteen years old, there was an accident at home—an angry spirit appeared in the place where we lived in seclusion. My father let my brother and I escape, and 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 whole family had disappeared, and my parents had disappeared... "
Vivienne was very surprised: "Angry spirit? Are there still angry spirits coming out these years?"
"What is the spirit of anger?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"A deformed... indescribable negative monster," Vivian frowned. "It is said that it is an undead from a different dimension, and some people say that it is the projection of negative emotions in the world that was pulled into this world. They It looks like an amorphous cloud that can change between virtual and real. It has no logic or reason, and cannot communicate. It will attack all living things. Not only does the spirit of anger have no fixed form, but even its combat power varies. Some of them can be dealt with by even ordinary people with talisman papers, and some require demon hunters to form a team to deal with them. Because the gap between them is so big, some people think that the spirit of anger is not a race at all, but a kind of race. Natural phenomenon. Wrath spirits were very common in ancient times. At that time, some powerful aliens liked to build some dangerous energy devices. These devices could easily attract anger spirits. However, I have rarely seen those things since the age of steam …they seem to only be able to spawn in open, inaccessible places. And there must be supernatural 'bait' around when spawning, and it's hard to find an environment that meets this condition."
Hao Ren nodded, and Nangong Wuyue continued: "I still remember what I saw that day. The whole house disappeared as if nothing was left. There was only a neat big hole in place. It’s as if the angry spirit has blown up the whole area. My father probably didn’t survive, but my mother is a sea monster. She should have been revived somewhere, but my brother and I waited in place for three years and my mother didn’t come back. Come back... Then I ran away from home and started looking for my mother. My brother just kept chasing me everywhere..."
Nangong Sanba chuckled: "I'm afraid something will happen to her."
"Then you can't make 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 curious about how the two brothers and sisters got along with each other. Nangong Wuyue pointed to the unpacked pieces of rune paper on the table and explained angrily: "Did you see this? Once he finds out my whereabouts, he will place this everywhere." Things. Then there was a fire or an explosion near where I lived. Once I was renting a house outside. As a result, the small church next to me was struck by lightning more than forty times in one night. It was because he took the Raven spell card Buried near the grounding wire of someone's lightning rod!"
"I'm not protecting you," Nangong Sanba murmured in defense. "When Dad was still there, he taught us all day long. The outside world is very dangerous. I still know how to fight. You haven't even learned how to fight. What should you do if you are really targeted by bad guys?"
Saying that, 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 take the initiative to ignore this area, because these spell cards It means that there is already a demon hunter in the local area who is in charge of guarding, and the spell cards I use are all meaningful, and the meaning expressed is 'someone in the local area is in charge, the combat power is sufficient and no support is needed'."
"Who said I can't fight anymore!" Nangong Wuyue put her hands on her hips aggressively, "Believe it or not, you can't even beat me? I just don't have the heart to fight with others. It's not like you don't know how powerful Sea-Monster is. .”
"Isn't it the same? You can't do it, so I'll do it for you. You can just run around with peace of mind. I'll be in charge of the guard."
"Can you be more vigilant in a normal way? And at least come out and talk to me before you lose your nerve! I've been sneaking around like a stalker all day setting traps, and I'm afraid I'll fall into the hole you dug if I turn around."
"I have a special identity, and I am more eye-catching than you..." Nangong Sanba distinguished while dodging his sister's thunderous fury, "I need to collect special materials everywhere to make a medicine spell card, so it is easy to argue with other demon hunters for this matter." When we meet, I can easily fool around by myself, but if you happen to be next to me, accidents are easy to happen, and it is safer for us to act separately."
Listening to the argument between the siblings, Hao Ren finally figured out the ins and outs. In fact, everything is very simple:
More than a hundred years ago, a sea monster and a demon hunter had a strange love. Because there was no room for both aliens and demon hunters, they lived in seclusion, and soon after they gave birth to Nangong brothers and sisters. Later, the family suffered a sudden disaster, and the two children survived, but the parents of the Nangong brothers and sisters disappeared after the battle. Nangong Wuyue firmly believed that her mother, as a sea monster, must have been resurrected somewhere, so she ran out to find the whereabouts of her relatives when she waited at home but failed. Nangong Sanba probably didn't agree with this at first, but I couldn't hold back my sister's temper, so I could only acquiesce, and then followed.
Nangong Sanba's identity as a demon hunter meant that he would occasionally meet other demon hunters, at least occasionally be noticed by other demon hunters, so in order to prevent his sister from being in danger, and because he was worried about the latter, he decided to He had no choice but to use his own method to protect Nangong Wuyue—now it seems that the method he adopted could not be called stupid, but... a bit neurotic.
"Okay, you two will quarrel again in the future." Seeing that the Nangong brothers and sisters hadn't stopped for a while, Vivian had to take the initiative to speak out, "I'll just ask, you haven't found your mother for so many years. whereabouts?"
"I've searched all over the world, even including the North and South Poles," Nangong Wuyue sighed, "I'll go wherever there is water, and now there's no place I've missed except the deep sea. To be honest, I've kind of given up. "
Hao Ren thought for a while, and suddenly understood: "So you're staying with me 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 hunter is really exhausting. I want to find a place where I can rest." Nangong Wuyue nodded embarrassingly. "Actually, I've been looking for an opportunity to tell you this, but... well, my family composition is really awkward. Sister Vivienne seems to have a deep grudge against the witcher."
"Can't it be deep," Vivienne snorted, "I worked so hard to save some money and finally built a small house in the upper reaches of the Rhine, but they burned it down within two months of living there. Since that day I have decided that I will be at odds with the demon hunter in this life!"
Nangong Sanba's expression froze immediately.
"Of course, your brother can be excluded." Vivienne glanced at Nangong Sanba, "I didn't even think of him as a witcher."
Nangong Sanba muttered in a low voice: "Actually, I also count... Of course, it's still not better now."
"Why didn't you go to the deep sea?" Hao Ren asked Nangong Wuyue, "You have 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 thing is to go back to her hometown."
"This is also the most regrettable place—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 the two legendary sea monsters at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The city dives, but it will always be sent to other places inexplicably, and I lose my sense of direction when I swim. At first I thought it was my sense of direction that was really problematic, but I went to an alien planet with you a few days ago , I realized that the problem should not be with me, but with the planet's ocean itself. Some places... seem to be forbidden."
Is there some kind of restriction in the deep sea? ! (To be continued..)
