Standing in front of Hao Ren was a couple who looked very young. The woman was wearing a dark blue dress of unknown material. Her long hair was tied up high, and her eyes bore some resemblance to Nangong Wuyue. The man, on the other hand, was wearing a long black trench coat. Under the open trench coat, the signature wide belt of the demon hunter could be seen. There was a small silver dagger hanging from the belt, but other than that, there was no signature weapon like a crossbow. His appearance was about fifty to sixty percent similar to Nangong Sanba. Due to the unique "selective heredity" of the sirens, the Nangong siblings had inherited their parents' looks.
As otherworldlings, the couple did not look old after just a hundred years. They still looked young, but much more mature than their children. They were shocked to see a large group of people in front of them. They were even a little bewildered. When they heard Nangong Wuyue's whisper, they were stunned at the same time.
"Dad, Mom, it's us!" Nangong Wuyue dragged her brother and rushed forward. "I'm Nangong Wuyue. My brother and I are here to see you!"
"Nangong Wuyue? Sanba? " The male demon hunter looked at the two young people in front of him in disbelief. His footsteps were slightly wobbly. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to see other people here, let alone his children in front of him. "You... How did you get here?"
"We caught the vengeful spirit, and then Mr. Landlord found this place from the vengeful spirit's memory," Sanba tried to calm down and explained hurriedly. "These people are our friends. They helped us get here. Mom, Dad, have you been living here for the past hundred years? "
The reunion of the family was touching, but Hao Ren felt a little awkward standing there as an outsider. Seeing the four of them talking incoherently, he coughed and said, "Well, you guys catch up first. We'll go somewhere else... We'll meet at the entrance of the mall later."
Nangong Sanba nodded gratefully. He opened his mouth but did not say anything. Hao Ren smiled and waved at him. He grabbed Lily's arm and dragged her away.
"The family is finally reunited. We didn't come here in vain," Vivian said as she walked in the empty mall. She stretched her neck and looked into the distance. "They probably have to talk for a long time. Our main objective has been achieved. "
Y 'zaks, the rugged guy, showed a rare expression of emotion. He remembered his own experience and smiled. "I can understand … I had a similar experience not long ago."
Hao Ren scratched his head in embarrassment. "Why do I suddenly feel a little embarrassed …"
Lily bared her teeth. "I haven't started praising you yet. It's too early for you to be shy!"
Before they knew it, they had already walked to the second floor of the mall. It was still empty, but the neatly arranged stalls were still full of goods, and the counters and shelves were also spotless. Lily grabbed a bag from the shelf next to her. She examined it and confirmed that it was a snack. Then, she tore open the packaging and stuffed it into her mouth. Vivian quickly reminded her, "Hey, be careful! Don't randomly pick up food outside! I don't know where he came from … "
Lily swallowed the snack in her mouth and rolled her eyes at Vivian. "Are you stupid? The Nangong parents have lived here for a hundred years. Of course, this is edible." Then, she grabbed a handful of shrimp sticks from the plastic bag and stuffed it into Hao Ren's mouth. "Mr. Landlord, have a taste. It tastes a little like burnt rings!"
Hao Ren muttered to himself as he was being fed by the dog. "Why is Lily always bursting with wisdom in inexplicable places …"
"Although I don't know the current date of this place … but I guess these things are produced recently." Y 'zaks's attention was elsewhere. He reached out to check Lily's snack bag, but as soon as he lifted his hand, the latter immediately bared her teeth and made a threatening growl. Lily stared at Y' zaks's big hand, her fangs bared. Seeing this, the great demon could only twitch his mouth. "What a clear attitude … Fine, I'll go find one myself."
Vivian looked at Lily with a strange expression and then looked at Hao Ren. "You've really trained her."
At this time, a faint beeping sound came from not far away. A hidden door suddenly opened on a nearby wall. A small truck with all kinds of goods came out of the hidden door. The truck ignored the curious faces of Hao Ren and the others at the door. It went straight to the shelf, and a machine that looked like a frisbee rose from the truck and began to replenish the goods on the shelf. It was the two bags of snacks that Lily and Y 'zaks had just taken.
Vivian saw this and took another bag from the shelf next to her. The truck immediately made a grumbling sound and the little frisbee began to replenish the goods again.
"The machine maintains everything," Vivian looked down at the things in her hand. "But do people really come here to 'buy' things?"
Y 'zaks smiled. "At least two people."
Ten minutes later, the group gathered at the entrance of the mall. The Nangong family of four seemed to have calmed down from the initial excitement of the reunion. Of course, the excitement would not subside even after a few days. Nangong Wuyue introduced her new friends to her parents, but before she could say a few words, Lily had already done the introductions. The maiden's ability to be familiar with people was as good as ever.
"We've heard about your visit." Ayesha, Nangong Wuyue's mother, smiled and bowed deeply to Hao Ren. "We can't repay your kindness. Although we don't know how we can help, please let us know if there's anything we can do."
Ayesha's husband nodded. "I heard that you're investigating this place. We've lived here for a hundred years. We should be able to help."
Y 'zaks was suddenly happy. "That's great. Sanba's father, right? We … "
Nangong Sanba's father smiled and waved his hand. "It's like a tongue twister … My name is Nangong Wudi. Thank you for your help."
Suddenly, there was silence. Hao Ren's face looked like he had a facial paralysis. He could not react for a long time. Uncle, that was a domineering name!
He then patted Nangong Sanba on the shoulder and lowered his voice. "Is that your father's stage name?"
Nangong Sanba's face was grim. "Real name."
"Your family's naming style has been passed down from generation to generation, and only passed down to males and not females, right?"
Nangong Sanba gritted his teeth. "You talk too much!"
Nangong Wudi himself did not think there was anything wrong with the name. This domineering name, but in fact, he was just a dabbler like Nangong Sanba. He smiled and waved his hand at the others. "This is not the place to talk. Let me show you to where we are staying. "
Lily looked surprised. "You have a house here?"
Ayesha smiled gently and pointed at the empty city. "There are houses everywhere."
Suddenly, everyone knew what was going on.
The place where the Nangong couple lived was some distance from the mall, and they had to go through a few blocks. With great familiarity, they led the crowd to stop a floating bus by the roadside. This bus was just like all the other facilities in the city: it was unmanned.
The bus moved briskly under the control of the automatic program. It took off smoothly on a ramp marked with an upward arrow and floated towards the residential area in the distance. A glowing light appeared in the air in front of and behind the hover bus, seemingly to prevent collisions with other air vehicles. Hao Ren sat in the front seat and looked up at the driver's seat. There were a lot of flashing instruments and automatic operating levers, and there was a seat in front of the console. It seemed that there was a driver in the original design of this vehicle, and automatic driving was just another way of controlling it.
The screens on both sides of the carriage were playing boring advertisements. A large group of children were jumping around a bunch of strange-looking amusement facilities. The subtitles below showed that this was an advertisement for a newly opened amusement park.
The world on the screen was lively, and the world outside the screen was silent.
The cheerful music and children's laughter filled the bus, but it only made people's hair stand on end.
