Siberia was one of the coldest regions in the world where a large number of humans gathered. Many people only thought of a dull and monotonous wilderness when they mentioned Siberia, but it was actually a vast area. In addition to a large area of snow and tundra, there were also a large number of tundra, mountains, cold-resistant vegetation, and icy swamps. Tens of millions of people lived in this cold and snow-covered wilderness. Most of them gathered in a few towns in Siberia with a relatively mild environment, while other areas were sparsely populated.
It was a pity that Hao Ren and the others could not come here to enjoy the life of a fighting people. They were going to the most desolate and uninhabited place in Siberia, which was even close to the Arctic Circle. Humans were a rare species there.
Before they set off, they had prepared a thick coat. Although most of them were not afraid of the cold, the coat could at least make them look more normal. Looking at the desolate wilderness and the faint snowfield at the end of the horizon, Vivian subconsciously pulled her coat closer. "I remember I came to the Arctic Circle many years ago …"
"What are we doing here?" Hao Ren glanced at her. "If we go back a few years, I'm afraid we won't even see a shadow of a person in Siberia, right?"
"I forgot," Vivian scratched her hair. "You know how bad my memory is … But it's probably because I'm poor."
Everyone was speechless.
At this time, Hao Ren felt a squirm in his collar, and then Lil Pea's little head popped out. The little one clutched the fluffy coat collar and looked excitedly at the vast world outside. "Big … big … big!"
She could not think of the words to describe the scene in front of her. In the end, she only knew that it was big: the little one still had a long way to go to learn human language.
Hao Ren quickly covered his collar with his hand to prevent Lil Pea from falling out. The temperature outside was tens of degrees below zero. The little guy would probably freeze if she fell out. In fact, he did not want to take Lil Pea out at first. After all, the place they were going to was a world of ice and snow. Lil Pea was a child who would hibernate when the temperature reached zero degrees Celsius and would freeze at minus ten degrees Celsius. But in the end, he could not stand the little fellow's coaxing and pestering.
The vengeful spirit that Nangong Sanba mentioned was entrenched in the old mansion of a reclusive nobleman, and the place that the reclusive nobleman called "Tycoon" lived in was even deeper in the snowfield. After teleporting to Siberia through the MDT, they still had to travel a long way to reach their destination. Hao Ren looked at the scene in front of him and felt that it was not a sightseeing spot. He took out something from his Dimensional Pocket and said, "Let's drive there."
Nangong Sanba's eyes twitched when he saw Hao Ren conjuring a vehicle out of thin air, but he quickly calmed down. Nangong Wuyue giggled and said, "Ah, brother, your composure has improved. Why aren't you surprised now? "
Nangong Sanba coughed lightly and said, "Well … Who doesn't have a secret, especially one who runs a shelter? And I'm used to it. Hao Ren can teleport all over the earth without a channeling bar. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he just pulled a spaceship out of his pocket. "
Hao Ren glanced at him and asked, "Are you sure?"
Nangong Sanba was shocked. "You really have it?"
Actually, Hao Ren was not worried about exposing too much of his technology in front of outsiders. At least now that he was experienced, he was not as worried about such details as before. He had dealt with big problems, why would he care about such a small problem? He was mainly concerned about the organization's system. If he did not handle it well, he could easily be dragged into the tribulation by the goddess …
Nangong Sanba thought that Hao Ren was joking. He was surprised but did not take it seriously. Instead, he turned to look at the vehicle that Hao Ren had 'conjured' and asked, "… Do you really think it's safe to use this thing on the snowy plains of Siberia?"
Hao Ren stared at him and said, "What's wrong with you looking down on small displacement? Let me tell you, don't be fooled by its small size, it's actually very spacious inside. "
Nangong Sanba wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was shoved into the car. The spacious space inside startled him. He could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the interior of the car, but some kind of confusion in his senses made him unable to tell where the abnormality started and where it ended. He could only vaguely sense that he had just passed through a space distortion, which should be the car door.
Hao Ren got into the car, shoved the MDT into the slot next to the driver's seat, and then drove into the distant white world.
A small displacement North Star was galloping in the frozen wasteland of Siberia. The terrain along the way was bumpy and there was almost no road to speak of, but the car was running steadily as if it had five pairs of wheels. If outsiders were to see this, it would probably be another unsolved mystery. Inside the car, Lil Pea was lying on Hao Ren's shoulder, staring at the scenery outside. She exclaimed from time to time, "Whoa! Snow! Whoa! Rocks! Whoa! Rice! "
The last sound was when she saw a few withered trees flashing by outside.
As the car drove into the snowfield, the surrounding scenery became more and more monotonous. There was no vegetation in the undulating wilderness, only unchanging slabs of snow that had accumulated for many years. In the distance, they could vaguely see mountains and some vague shadows of trees. Other than that, there was almost nothing that could be called a landscape. This area itself was already within the Arctic Circle, and now Hao Ren and the others were still trying to go all the way north. To be honest, it was hard for ordinary people to imagine that any rich person would be willing to live in such a terrible place. However, the hidden aristocrat that Nangong Sanba called a "tycoon" did indeed live in this desolate place.
"Old Igor's family is a very special group of people. They have had amazing wealth since a long time ago, and after many social changes, they are still rich to this day. They have never even been affected by the disputes and turmoil of the world." Nangong Sanba began to introduce the hidden aristocrat they were going to visit. This time, he finally did not use the term "tycoon" to refer to the other party. "Their businesses are all over Europe, but their family is very low-key. They have always manipulated everything as the boss behind the scenes. Some people say that they are blessed by the gods to be able to enjoy the great wealth from generation to generation, but I think they are cursed by the vengeful spirit. They are indeed rich, and even the October Revolution did not shake their foundation. But every generation of them is suffering from all kinds of supernatural deaths, diseases, insanity, accidents, suicides, and even disappearances in their own bedrooms. For many years, they have been seeking help from witchcraft and the underworld. They have looked for exorcists and priests, and even Taoists in China. But because of bad luck, they have never found the right expert. I am the most professional they have found. But if I had known that it was such a troublesome family, I would have made more preparations. Unfortunately, until the vengeful spirit appeared, I did not know what kind of thing they had provoked. "
"Why would such a rich family live in a place like this?" Lily asked curiously. "Most of Siberia has been a place for exiled prisoners since hundreds of years ago, especially where we are now — close to the Arctic Circle, far away from the prosperous human world. It takes a very high cost for a human family to take root here."
Hao Ren looked at Lily in surprise. "Why are you so serious all of a sudden? And you sound quite knowledgeable. "
Lily bared her teeth at Hao Ren. "I am the most educated among us! I don't usually show it because I am lazy. "
Vivian pushed Lily away and said, "Go away. You are just entering the Arctic Circle and being blessed by your hometown."
Nangong Sanba smiled and said, "As I said, Igor's family is a 'hidden aristocracy'. Although they are all ordinary people, they were unfortunate enough to come into contact with the world of the otherworldlings. Naturally, they were greatly affected. Staying away from the crowd, behaving strangely, having unknown wealth, family diseases that science cannot explain, seeking help from witchcraft and taboo knowledge — these are the most common things that a family like this who accidentally entangled with the otherworldlings will experience. The family we are visiting moved to this area 300 years ago, and their huge wealth suddenly appeared around that time. Well, by the way, the 'vengeful spirit' that has been haunting them for many generations also appeared at that time. "
Hao Ren asked, "What did they do 300 years ago?"
"Summoning the dead." Nangong Sanba shrugged. "I didn't ask about the details. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary vengeful spirit infestation, so I just casually asked around. Who knew that when I showed up, I was almost killed by a vengeful spirit. "
In Nangong Sanba's introduction, the ancient castle where the vengeful spirit infested the ancient family finally appeared in front of them.
