Hao Ren was leaning against the window, breathing in the fresh air, when he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure swaying across the street. He took a closer look and was surprised to recognize an acquaintance: Nangong Sanba!

But the other party was clearly not in good shape, staggering and looking dazed as he walked, seemingly in a very weak state. From afar, Hao Ren could see that Nangong Sanba's face was as pale as paper in the sunlight. He quickly exclaimed and ran to open the door, but someone was faster than him:

Nangong Wuyue was originally crawling around in the living room, helping Vivian clean the floor. At this moment, as if sensing something, she looked up at the door. Without changing back to human form, she dashed over to open the door: "Brother?!"

Hao Ren hurriedly pulled Wuyue back to prevent her from crawling out like that, then rushed to Nangong Sanba in a few steps: "Sanba? What happened to you... Holy crap, you have a fever of almost sixty degrees?!"

At this time, Becky and Elizabeth hadn't gone far either. Hearing the commotion at the door, they both ran back. This was the first time the two had seen Nangong Sanba. Becky looked at him curiously: "An acquaintance?"

Nangong Sanba's face was pale, but his body carried an abnormal high temperature. He was clearly in a very bad state, but after hearing Hao Ren's words, he even had the leisure to retort: "Don't joke around, at sixty degrees I'd be cooked... Quickly 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, while looking up and shouting at the data terminal that was lying on the coffee table watching TV, "Go prepare the medical pod!"

By this time, everyone in the house had been alarmed. No one had expected that Nangong Sanba would reappear in this state after several months. Hao Ren thought he was injured, but when he helped him into the house and checked, he didn't find any signs of external injury. He was just pale, had a very high temperature, and his skin near his neck was covered with abnormal black lines, as if blood vessels were bulging and about to burst out from under the skin, which was eerie and terrifying.

Nangong Wuyue usually didn't have a good tone when she mentioned her brother, but at this time she showed how deep the brother-sister relationship was. The siren girl seemed a little frightened. As she walked, she used her tail to roll up ice fragments and pat Nangong Sanba's face: "Brother, brother, don't scare me... Brother, hang in there..."

Vivian pulled Nangong Wuyue: "Your brother is about to be knocked unconscious by you."

The data terminal had already flown to the basement to prepare the medical equipment. Hao Ren carefully helped this half-baked demon hunter, who seemed to have only half a breath left, to the basement, asking as he walked, "What happened to you?"

Nangong Sanba had been wanting to speak but couldn't find a chance. At this moment, he finally managed to choke out two words: "Wrath spirit!"

Nangong Wuyue's expression changed slightly. Hao Ren immediately realized that this was probably a very complicated situation, so he quickened his pace: "Don't talk, let's go to the basement, we'll heal you first."

When they arrived in the basement, Nangong Sanba was of course very surprised by the scene below, but before he could say anything, everyone stuffed him into the medical pod. Seeing the equipment successfully determine Nangong Sanba's physical condition and quickly start treatment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hao Ren still remembered seeing those strange vascular patterns even on his arms when he put him into the medical pod just now, and couldn't help asking the data terminal that was connected to the medical pod: "What exactly is going on with him?"

The data terminal confirmed the data feedback from the equipment: "Short-term, high-dose radiation-induced tissue collapse, and signs of heavy metal poisoning. His blood is full of toxins and fragments from dissolved tissues and organs. Fortunately, demon hunters have extremely strong vitality, otherwise he wouldn't have survived. Any later and it would have been hard to say."

Nangong Wuyue immediately curled herself into a ball in fear, unable to relax for a long time.

Time passed by, and everyone felt that time was passing particularly slowly as they waited anxiously, but the treatment process finally ended smoothly. The medical hibernation pod made a soft "beep" sound, the hatch slowly slid open, and Nangong Sanba took a long breath and sat up from inside. He looked a little weak, but he was obviously no longer in mortal danger.

The data terminal, like an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, exhorted from the side: "Rest for two or three days, it's best to slowly recuperate the loss of energy and physical strength."

Nangong Sanba struggled to climb out of the medical pod. The first thing he did was to look back at the strange high-tech device: "For my sister's sake... you shouldn't ask me for money, right?"

Nangong Wuyue instantly slapped her brother back into the medical pod with her tail: "Can't you have some dignity at a time like this?!"

Hao Ren shrugged: "Looks like your brother is recovering well."

Nangong Sanba climbed out of the coffin box for the second time, but still felt incredible. He had obviously come in with the determination to die, and had tried several times to say some last words, but Hao Ren had forcibly suppressed him. At this time, he was shocked to discover that he had actually not died—he had even been cured by the strange device. He curiously looked at the scene in the basement, which didn't look like a residential facility no matter how you looked at it: "Frankly speaking... I don't think human technology is so heaven-defying... Do you have a hidden world here?"

Hao Ren had been too focused on saving people just now to think too much. Plus, Nangong Sanba was himself an "oddity," barely within the scope of "settlement" that Raven 12345 had instructed him to do, so he had let the other party see these things here. Now it would be troublesome to explain, so he could only gloss over it: "I'll explain it later when I have time—my place is a shelter for oddities, how dare I open a base without some assets?"

Lili shouted from behind Hao Ren to help: "Anyway, our affairs are not important, what exactly did you encounter?"

Nangong Sanba's face immediately became serious. He took a few deep breaths, seemingly to calm himself down, then looked seriously at his sister: "Wuyue, I may have found the wrath spirit that took our parents away back then."

Wuyue's tail suddenly stiffened into a crooked, zigzagging line. She froze for a few seconds before reacting: "You said..."

"I'm not sure yet, but that aura is really familiar," Nangong Sanba nodded vigorously, then looked up at Hao Ren and the others to explain, "Demon hunters are born hunters, their ability to sense various auras is even far beyond werewolves, even if I'm a hybrid."

Wuyue suddenly pounced on Nangong Sanba's shoulders: "Where is it?! Were you injured by the wrath spirit?"

"Don't shake, don't shake," Nangong Sanba tried to break free from his sister's clutches, "In Siberia. I didn't beat that wrath spirit, but I roughly determined its lair is there."

"Lair?" Vivian immediately frowned, "Wrath spirits have lairs? They never stay in one place for long."

"I don't know what's going on, but various intelligence shows that the wrath spirit has never left the material world," Nangong Sanba spread his hands, "It may even have been entrenched there for hundreds of years. The attack on my family back then may have just been the result of its unconscious 'wandering.'"

Hao Ren was confused, so he pulled Nangong Sanba up: "Let's go, let's go to the living room and talk properly."

When they arrived in the living room, Nangong Sanba drank some water, and after his complexion improved, he told everyone about his experiences over the past period: "I said before that I took a job from a Russian tycoon, to help the tycoon exorcise ghosts over there, right? But after arriving there, I found that the situation was not simple.

"At first, I thought it was the same as the jobs I had taken before, that an old house of a wealthy family had attracted evil spirits due to too much resentment or bad things that had happened, but after arriving there, I found that things were a bit big: the tycoon who issued the commission was a descendant of a large family, and a reclusive family with a very complex background—their family had a feud with evil spirits for hundreds of years, and several generations had lost their lives in strange incidents. It is said that the evil spirit was summoned by a certain ancestor of that family who violated the taboo of life and death and followed the secret method described in the ancient scroll. Anyway, you also know this kind of legend, after being passed down by ordinary people for several generations, it becomes unclear whether it is true or false. In short, I followed the clues of the evil spirit and found that what they called evil spirit was actually a wrath spirit that stayed in the material world for unknown reasons.

"The aura on that wrath spirit was very similar to what I felt when I was a child. I will never forget that aura in my life. But it was a bit too reckless to fight it one-on-one at the time, I didn't win... In the end, I could only risk my life and use the forbidden technique at the bottom of the box to teleport myself to Wuyue's side."

Speaking of this, Nangong Sanba smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I was just thinking about quickly coming over to give my last words... I didn't expect to not die."
