It was already six o 'clock. Hao Ren hurriedly washed his face to wash away the lingering effects of more than ten hours of sleep. He then went to the dining hall on the first floor with Vivian, who was full of resentment due to the lack of rest. Lily trailed behind them like a ghost. The werewolf maiden had been awake since last night, and now, it was her "nap time" again. She was as sleepy as a dead dog.
Hao Ren genuinely felt that it was a miracle that a person's biological clock could be this strong.
"Mr. Landlord, I want to sleep … I want to have lunch … I want to lie on the floor and rest …" Lily mumbled behind Hao Ren. Her voice was weak, like a dead dog that refused to leave its nest after playing for too long. However, even Vivian did not dare to say it out loud. As a "werewolf," Lily's self-esteem was unusually strong. Even in this sleepwalking state, if you compared her to a domestic dog, she would still jump up and bite you. Even a three-layered stab vest would not be able to withstand her bite.
"It should be breakfast at this hour." Hao Ren looked at the morning light outside the dining hall and reminded the muddle-headed werewolf beside him. London had gotten rid of the predicament of being an industrial foggy city, but the early morning fog, thick clouds, and changeable weather conditions in this area had not changed. The weather was not very good today. Although the sun had risen, it still looked a little gloomy. The next few hours would be either foggy or cloudy.
"Look, there it is." Vivian suddenly tugged at the corner of Hao Ren's shirt and pointed at a very conspicuous table outside the dining hall. "That 'Nangong'. He is quite punctual. I've never counted on this guy who has anything to do with demon hunters. Tsk tsk."
As Nangong was more or less related to the demon hunters (there was even a 1% chance that he was the real deal), Vivian had an instinctive dislike for him. She was not hostile yet, but she would definitely not be smiling when she talked about him behind his back.
"After watching the TV yesterday, I suddenly feel that there's no need for us to travel with this dangerous person." Hao Ren was a little hesitant. "Yorkford Castle is filled with people looking for ghosts. Do we still need a guide?"
"Why not?" Vivian rolled her eyes at Hao Ren. "Do you know how to get to Brewshire from London?"
Hao Ren was stunned. He had really forgotten about this.
At this time, Mr. Nangong had also seen Hao Ren and his companions. He immediately waved and greeted them. He looked very amiable. Hao Ren knew that it was not realistic to turn around and leave. He had no choice but to lead Vivian and Lily to greet him. "Good morning."
"Good morning. You guys are not too late." Nangong smiled. He then looked at Lily who was swaying behind Hao Ren with her eyes closed. "Erm, what's wrong with this girl?"
"She's still jet-lagged. She's taking an afternoon nap," Hao Ren shrugged helplessly. "Are we leaving now? Or do you want to have a meal here first? "
Nangong said that they were not in a hurry. They would not miss the train even if they were ten or twenty minutes late. So, Hao Ren decided to fill his stomach first. The hotel provided a free breakfast buffet to every guest. He had to eat his money back before he checked out. Lily was getting sleepier and sleepier. She was about to pass out. But the amazing thing was that the werewolf maiden did not stop eating. Hao Ren followed Lily's recipe and prepared a plate of food for her. Lily ate it all with her eyes closed, relying on her sense of smell. Not even a single strand of food was left.
Nangong looked on in amazement. This made Hao Ren and Vivian nervous. They were afraid that the so-called demon hunter would see through Lily's unusual condition that she was not human. In the end, Nangong was either a charlatan or a fake. Hao Ren was amazed. He did not expect that the "demon" he was hunting was sitting next to him.
After breakfast, they went to the front desk to check out and left the hotel with their luggage. Hao Ren and the other two did not have much luggage. It was only a large travel bag. Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be carried by the men. However, Vivian did not hesitate to tie the big bag to Lily. Lily, who was half-asleep, suddenly had an extra ten kilograms of weight on her. She was still asleep! She closed her eyes and became Vivian's coolie. Just like the day before, she followed behind Hao Ren by sniffing the scent.
"The only good thing about her is that she's strong. It's a waste of talent not to let her carry it." Vivian saw the strange look on Hao Ren's face and waved her hand. "Don't worry. She's happy to carry it. Even though she's sleeping now."
Hao Ren felt awkward. He saw Lily carrying three people's luggage behind them in her sleep. She walked like a bullied wife (it was purely a psychological effect). In the end, he could not help but step forward and put the bag on his back. "Forget it. Don't bully her."
Lily opened her eyes in a daze. She seemed to know what was going on. "Thank you, Mr. Landlord. I'm not tired …"
Vivian snorted and said, "What a strange man's mind. You guys haven't improved at all after all these years."
Hao Ren laughed dryly and looked at Nangong who was beside him. The tall, skinny man who claimed to be a demon hunter had more luggage than the three of them. Nangong's luggage was bigger than the travel bag Hao Ren was carrying. It was an extra-large travel bag that looked sturdy and heavy. It was a size bigger than the one Lily carried when she came to Hao Ren's house. The sound of dragging it on the cement road was deafening. Only God knew what was in it.
"What's in this suitcase?" Vivian lived up to her reputation as a sly old woman (she could not hear those words). She immediately put on an innocent look and asked curiously.
"It's all necessary for my 'work'." Nangong dragged a huge suitcase, but it still did not affect his clean and elegant image. Dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, even though he was dragging a suitcase that was half the height of a person, he still looked like a successful entrepreneur who was rushing to a meeting. "I used them to fight against evil. This suitcase has suppressed at least three-digit demons and evil spirits."
"A real demon hunter doesn't need so many tools." Vivian returned to Hao Ren's side and said in a low voice, "They are their own weapons. Looks like we can rest assured. "
At this time, Hao Ren was thinking: Why is it that they are both men? Why is their image so different? Nangong looks like an entrepreneur going to a meeting with such a huge suitcase. Nangong looks like he is on his way to a meeting with a travel bag.
Just like that, both sides had their own ulterior motives. (Is it appropriate to use this idiom?) In any case, it saved a lot of trouble to have a professional guide who was familiar with the way. With Nangong's help, Hao Ren and the rest did not get lost in London's ancient and complicated streets. They smoothly boarded the train to their destination.
The four of them did not speak during the journey. It took them a whole day to get on the train.
As there was a stranger beside them, Hao Ren and Vivian could not talk too much about confidential matters. The journey was particularly boring. The only thing worth mentioning was that Lily woke up from her "afternoon nap" midway. She then dawdled on the train seat for a long time. When the train was about to arrive at the station, she started to feel sleepy again. She had been so excited before she left home. Now that she had arrived in England, all she could do was sleep and daydream. It was not easy for her to have some free time, but she spent it on the train.
By the time the train arrived at Broussard Station, it was almost dusk. There were only a few people alighting there. It seemed that not everyone was interested in coming to such a remote and desolate place. Hao Ren followed the familiar voice of the train station to the platform of the small station. He realized that the place was more remote and desolate than he had imagined.
The train station was very small. Only two railways passed through it, and one of them was abandoned. The surroundings of the small station were basically barren wastelands. Yellowish brown gravel filled their vision. The only green was weeds and shrubs that grew in the wind. As they walked out of the station, they could see the town of Broussard not far away. The town's buildings were a little old, and the whole town was very small. It was almost like a village.
Hao Ren had no idea how the town was built. It was located in such a remote place. The geomancy of the place reminded Hao Ren of Heaven's office on Earth — Bastard.
Nangong sniffed the air, and a look of interest appeared on his face. "I smell a big guy."
