Hao Ren was leaning against the window to breathe in the fresh air when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him from across the street. He was surprised to see that it was Nangong Sanba!
But the man was obviously not in good condition. He was swaying and seemed to be in a trance. He seemed to be in a very weak state. Hao Ren saw Nangong Sanba's pale face from afar. He quickly ran to open the door, but someone was faster than him.
Nangong Wuyue was crawling around in the living room to help Vivian clean the floor. She looked up at the door as if telepathically. She did not have time to transform back into her human form and ran to open the door. "Brother?!"
Hao Ren quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wuyue to stop her from crawling out. He then ran up to Nangong Sanba. "Sanba? What's wrong with you? Are you running a fever of 60 degrees?! "
At this time, Becky and Y'lisabet had not gone far. When they heard the noise at the door, they ran back. This was the first time they saw Nangong Sanba. Becky looked at him curiously. "Acquaintance?"
Nangong Sanba was pale, but his body was abnormally hot. He was obviously in a very bad state. But after hearing Hao Ren's words, he still had the mood to reply. "Don't mess around. I'm almost cooked at 60 degrees … Hurry up and help me in … I have something to tell Wuyue …"
"Try not to talk. I have medical equipment here." Hao Ren hurriedly helped Nangong Sanba into the house. At the same time, he looked up at the MDT which was lying on the coffee table watching TV. "Prepare the medical pod!"
At this time, everyone in the house was alarmed. No one had expected Nangong Sanba to be in such a state after not seeing him for a few months. At first, Hao Ren thought that the man was injured, but when he helped him into the house, he did not find any signs of external injuries. His face was pale, his body temperature was extremely high, and the skin around his neck was covered with abnormal black lines, as if the blood vessels were about to burst out from under the skin. It was eerie and scary.
Usually, Nangong Wuyue did not speak kindly when she mentioned her brother, but this time, the siren was showing signs of affection. The siren maiden was a little scared. As she walked, she used her tail to pick up some ice shards and smacked them on Nangong Sanba's face. "Brother, brother, don't scare me... Brother, hang in there..."
Vivian tugged at Nangong Wuyue. "Your brother almost fainted from your slap."
The MDT had flown to the basement to prepare the medical equipment. Hao Ren carefully helped the half-baked demon hunter to the basement. "What happened to you?" he asked as he walked.
Nangong Sanba had been trying to speak but could not find the opportunity. Finally, he squeezed out two words. "Vengeful spirit!"
Nangong Wuyue's expression changed slightly. Hao Ren immediately realized that the situation was complicated. He quickened his pace. "Don't talk. Let's go to the basement. We'll talk after you're healed."
When they reached the basement, Nangong Sanba was, of course, shocked by what he saw. Before he could say a word, he was shoved into the medical pod. Seeing that the medical equipment had successfully confirmed Nangong Sanba's condition and quickly started the treatment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Hao Ren still remembered the strange blood vessels on Nangong Sanba's arm when he was placed in the medical pod. He could not help but ask the MDT, which was connected to the medical pod, "What happened to him?"
The MDT confirmed the data. "Tissue collapse caused by a high dose of radiation in a short period of time. There are also signs of heavy metal poisoning. His blood is full of toxins and fragments of dissolved tissues and organs. Fortunately, demon hunters have strong vitality, so he's still alive. But if he came half a day later, it would be hard to say. "
Nangong Wuyue immediately curled up into a ball and could not untie herself for a long time.
Time ticked by, and everyone felt that time was passing extremely slowly as they waited anxiously. However, in the end, the treatment process ended smoothly. The medical pod made a soft beep and the hatch slowly slid open. Nangong Sanba let out a long sigh and sat up. He still looked a little weak, but apparently, his life was no longer in danger.
The MDT reminded him like an old Chinese doctor. "Rest for two to three days. It's best to take care of the energy and physical exhaustion."
Nangong Sanba struggled to climb out of the medical pod. The first thing he did was to look back at the weird high-tech equipment. "For my sister's sake... you won't ask me for money, right?"
Nangong Wuyue immediately whipped her brother back into the medical pod with her tail. "Can't you be a little more shameless at a time like this?!"
Hao Ren shrugged. "Looks like your brother is recovering well."
Nangong Sanba climbed out of the coffin for the second time, but he still felt it was unbelievable. When he entered the room, he was obviously prepared to die. He wanted to say his last words several times, but Hao Ren forced him to swallow them back. Now, he was shocked to find that he was not dead — he had even recovered under the treatment of the weird equipment. He looked curiously at the basement, which did not look like a residential facility. "To be fair... I don't think human technology is that good... Are you hiding something here?"
Hao Ren was too busy saving people to think too much. Plus, Nangong Sanba was also an otherworldling, barely within the "settlement" range that Raven 12345 told him. So, he let Nangong Sanba see these things. It was obviously troublesome to explain at this time. He just casually said, "I'll explain when I have time. After all, this is an otherworldling shelter. How would I dare to open a base without some resources?"
Lily chimed in behind Hao Ren. "Anyway, our business is not important. What happened to you?"
Nangong Sanba's face suddenly became serious. He took a few deep breaths as if to calm himself down. Then, he looked at his sister seriously. "Wuyue, I may have found the vengeful spirit that took our parents away."
Wuyue's tail suddenly stiffened into a curved line. She was stunned for a few seconds. "You mean..."
"I'm not sure yet, but the aura is really familiar." Nangong Sanba nodded hard, then looked up at Hao Ren and explained, "Demon hunters are born to be hunters. Their ability to sense all kinds of aura is far better than that of werewolves, even if I'm a mixed-blood."
Wuyue suddenly rushed over and grabbed Nangong Sanba's shoulder. "Where?! You were hurt by the vengeful spirit? "
"Don't move," Nangong Sanba struggled to break away from his sister's claws. "In Siberia. I haven't fought the vengeful spirit, but I've probably confirmed that its lair is there. "
"Lair?" Vivian immediately frowned. "Vengeful spirits have a lair? They never stay in one place for a long time. "
"I don't know what's going on, but all kinds of information show that the vengeful spirit has never left the material world." Nangong Sanba spread out his hands. "It may even have been there for hundreds of years. The attack on my house may be the result of its unconscious' wandering '."
Hao Ren was confused, so he pulled Nangong Sanba up. "Come, let's sit in the living room and talk."
When they were in the living room, Nangong Sanba drank some water and looked better. Then, he told everyone about his experience in the past. "Didn't I say that I took a job from a Russian tycoon to help him exorcise the spirit? But when I got there, I found out that the situation was not as simple as it seemed.
"At first, I thought it was the same as the previous jobs. Some old house of a rich family had attracted the evil spirit because of too much resentment or something bad had happened. But when I got there, I found out that it was a big deal. The tycoon who sent the job was a descendant of a big family, and it was a hidden family with a complicated background. Their family had hundreds of years of grievances with the evil spirit, and several generations of people had died in strange things. It was said that the evil spirit was summoned by one of the ancestors of the family who violated the taboo of life and death, following the secret method described in the ancient scroll. Anyway, you all know this kind of legend. After a few generations of ordinary people, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not. Anyway, I followed the clues of the evil spirit and found that the so-called evil spirit was actually a vengeful spirit that stayed in the material world for unknown reasons.
"The aura of the vengeful spirit was very similar to the aura I felt when I was a child. I will never forget that aura. But at that time, I was too careless to fight it alone. I didn't win... In the end, I had to use my secret forbidden skill to teleport myself to Wuyue. "
Speaking of this, Nangong Sanba smiled embarrassedly. "Actually, I wanted to quickly say my last words... But I didn't expect to die."
