Chapter 158: Nangong May's thoughts
"You two are running around...... You don't just like to travel, right? Vivian looked at the Nangong brothers and sisters, her eyes full of questioning.
Nangong Sanba and his sister glanced at each other, and could only nod and admit: "Indeed, under normal circumstances, the smartest thing like us is to find a place to live in seclusion, but my sister ran out...... I had to follow along. ”
"I want to find out my mother's whereabouts," Nangong May said bluntly, "she should still be on this planet." ”
Vivien suddenly remembered this, "If you don't say it, I'll forget it!" You've said that your parents are no longer alive, and the Demon Hunter doesn't say that it's impossible for the Kraken race to really die, so what's going on? ”
Vivian asked, and Hao Ren also reacted, he didn't think too much about it when he heard about "Kraken Immortal" before, but he kept ignoring the fact that Nangong May had mentioned that her mother had died, and now that he thought about it, he realized that something was wrong!
Nangong May slowly recounted another episode of the past: "When I was sixteen years old, something happened in my family - an angry spirit appeared in the place where we lived. My father let my brother and me escape, he said he and my mother could deal with the monster, but when my brother and I returned the next day, we found that the whole house was gone, and my parents were gone......"
Vivien was surprised: "Angry spirits? Are there still angry spirits running out this year? ”
"What's the Wraith thing?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"A deformed ...... It's hard to describe the negative monster," Vivien frowned, "It is said to be an undead spirit from another dimension, and some people say that it is the projection of the negative feelings in the world that was pulled into this world. They look like an amorphous cloud that can change between the virtual and the real. There is no logic and no reason, and there is no communication. Will attack a qiē alive thing. Not only does the angry spirit not have a fixed form, but even the combat strength is different, some even ordinary people can rely on rune paper or something to solve it, and some need a team of witchers to deal with it, because the gap between them is so big that some people think that the angry spirit is not a race at all but a natural phenomenon. Wraiths were common in ancient times, when powerful aliens liked to build dangerous energy devices that could easily attract wraiths, but I haven't seen them much since the Steam Age...... They seem to only spawn in open, inaccessible places. In addition, when it is generated, there must be a 'bait' formed by supernatural forces around it, and it is difficult to find an environment that meets such conditions. ”
Hao Ren nodded, and Nangong May continued: "I still remember the scene I saw that day, the whole house disappeared as if nothing was left, and there was only a neat big pit in place, as if the angry spirit had blown up the entire area. My father didn't survive, but my mother was a kraken, and she should have been resurrected somewhere, but my brother and I waited for three years and my mother didn't come back...... Then I ran away from home and started looking for my mother. My brother just chased me everywhere ......."
Nangong Sanba smiled: "I'm afraid something will happen to her." ”
"Then you can't make trouble for me all the time!" Nangong May smashed Nangong Sanba's back with a fist, "It's because you're so neurotic that I don't want to go with you!" ”
Everyone was suddenly very curious about the way the brother and sister got along, and Nangong May pointed to the few pieces of rune paper on the table that had not been taken away, and explained angrily: "See this, right?" He's going to put this thing all over the place as soon as he finds out where I am. Then there was either a fire or an explosion near my house, and there was a lot of trouble, and once I was renting a house outside, and the church next to it caused lightning to strike more than forty times in one night. Just because he buried the Raven rune card near someone's lightning rod grounding wire! ”
"I'm not protecting you," Nangong Sanba muttered in defense. "When Dad was still there, he taught us all day long that the outside world was dangerous. I still know how to fight, you haven't even learned how to fight, what if you're really targeted by the bad guys? ”
Saying that, Nangong Sanba also explained to Hao Ren with a smile: "In addition, there is another advantage to burying these talismans, that is, if there are patrolling demon hunters passing by, they will take the initiative to ignore this area, because these talismans indicate that there is already a local demon hunter in charge of guarding, and the talisman cards I use are all meaningful, and the meaning expressed is 'There are local people in charge, and there is no need for support if the combat power is sufficient'." ”
"Who said I wouldn't fight!" Nangong May crossed her waist aggressively, "Do you believe it or not, you can't even beat me?" I just can't bear to fight with people, and it's not like you don't know how capable the Kraken is. ”
"Isn't this different, you can't do it, so I'll do it for you, you just have to run around with peace of mind, I'm in charge of guarding."
"Can your vigilance be normal? And at least come out and talk to me before you get nervous! Sneaking around like a stalker and putting traps behind me all day long, I'm afraid I'll turn around and fall into the pit you dug. ”
"My identity is special, ...... more eye-catching than you," Nangong Sanba distinguishes while dodging his sister's thunderous rage, "I need to collect special materials everywhere to make a medicine spell card or something, and it's easy to meet other demon hunters for this matter, and I'm good to fool around alone, but if you happen to be next to you, it's easy to have an accident, so it's safer for the two of us to act 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 kraken and a demon hunter had a romantic relationship, because there was no place for aliens and witchers, so they lived in seclusion, and soon gave birth to Nangong siblings. After that, the family suddenly flew into trouble, and the two children survived, but the parents of the Nangong siblings disappeared after the battle. Nangong May firmly believed that his mother must have been resurrected somewhere as a kraken, so he ran out to find the whereabouts of his relatives when he waited at home to no avail, and Nangong Sanba probably didn't agree to this matter at first, but he couldn't resist his sister's temper so he could only acquiesce, and then followed.
Nangong Sanba's status as a demon hunter is destined for him to occasionally meet with other demon hunters, at least occasionally noticed by other demon hunters, so in order to prevent danger to his sister, and because he is not worried about the latter, he has to use his own methods to protect Nangong May - now it seems that the method he took cannot be said to be stupid, but can only be said to be ...... It's a little nervous.
"Okay, you two will have a chance to quarrel again in the future," Vivian saw that the Nangong brothers and sisters hadn't stopped for a while, so she had to take the initiative to speak, "I'll just ask, you haven't found your mother's whereabouts for so many years?" ”
"The whole world has looked for it, even the North and South Poles," Nangong May sighed, "I go wherever there is water, and now there is no place to miss except the deep sea, to be honest, I have given up a little." ”
Hao Ren thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood: "So you settled here with me 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, I want to find a place to settle and rest," Nangong May nodded embarrassedly, "Actually, I've always wanted to find a chance to sue you, it's just ...... Alas, my family is indeed a little embarrassed, and Sister Vivian seems to have a deep grudge against the witcher. ”
"Isn't it deep," Vivien snorted, "I managed to save some money to build a small house on the upper Rhine, but they burned it down after only two months of living there, and from that day on I decided that I would be inseparable from the witchers for the rest of my life!" ”
Nangong Sanba's expression suddenly froze.
"Of course, your brother can be excepted," Vivian glanced at Nangong Sanba, "I didn't even use him as a witcher." ”
Nangong Sanba muttered in a low voice: "Actually, I'm also a ...... Of course, it's still not better. ”
"Why didn't you go to the deep sea?" Hao Ren asked Nangong May, "You've searched all over the world, why haven't you been to the deep sea?" I think if your mom is still around, 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 May frowned in confusion, "Actually, I have tried several times, diving to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean two legendary kraken cities, but I will always be sent to other places inexplicably, and I lose my sense of direction while swimming, at first I thought that I really had a problem with my sense of direction, but I went to an alien planet with you a few days ago, and I found that the problem should not be on me, but on the planet's ocean itself." In some places...... It seems to be banned. ”
Some kind of prohibition in the deep sea?! (To be continued......)
