Chapter 320 Ran Family Brothers and Sisters
Ran Tianqi has only two children, the eldest son Ran Tianyou and his daughter Ran Susu.
Ran Tianyou is four years older than Ran Su. He was born in China. At the age of three, his father was invited by his friend Yamaguchi, who was also a demon catcher, and took his mother and him to Japan to continue his career as a demon catcher. The next year, he had a younger sister.
The brother and sister have a very good relationship. In their most naive childhood, they also had the idea of being together forever like many brothers and sisters. However, the talent of the brother and sister as the descendants of the demon-catching family has a huge difference in talent. The difference in talent will have an impact on the future development of capabilities such as formation, spells, combat, etc.
Ran Susu has caught up with her eight-year-old brother Ran Tianyou since she was four years old, and when her brother entered the bottleneck period in the study of the demon catcher, her ability was still rising in a straight line. When she just turned ten years old, her father decided that she would replace her in the future and become the next heir of the Ran family.
Maybe in the eyes of others, as the eldest son, Ran Tianyou must have suffered great pain and pressure, but in fact, he has not been jealous or resented his sister. He has long made up his mind that even if he has no talent, he will continue to become stronger by diligence and hard work, so that he can do it in the future. Protect your sister's right-hand man.
That year, Tianyou was 22 years old, but Susu was just 18 years old. The same age and good appearance made her a girl who was loved by everyone. But because she is too junior high school in all aspects, it has also created her competitive personality. However, Tianyou knows Ran Susu very well, so he always protects her as much as possible.
One day, Tianqi suddenly received a commission from a rich businessman in China. The rich businessman did not hesitate to invite the Ran family to help investigate a strange case that happened to his daughter. The rich businessman only got this daughter. Naturally, she was the apple of her hand and spoiled her. Unexpectedly, her daughter had just been admitted to a famous art academy in China, but she accidentally disappeared when she made an appointment with her classmates to go to Yongchuan Forest to sketch. Although the police have characterized it as an ordinary disappearance case, the case has not made any breakthrough. The bizarre disappearance of a female college student was rushed to report by many media, and for this reason, the forest became a forbidden place for a period of time.
Due to the delay in the police to determine the cause of his daughter's disappearance, the rich businessman urgently found a number of private detectives to investigate from the other side. One of the private detectives inquired about a legend about the Yongchuan Forest from the locals. It is said that there is a road to the demon world in the forest, but because the entrance to that road is erratic, ordinary people can't detect it, but occasionally someone will stray into it and get lost.
At the beginning, the rich businessman felt that the legend was nonsense, but as time went by, he began to believe in all kinds of possibilities. When it comes to the demon world, it naturally reminds rich businessmen of demon catchers. Since it is difficult for ordinary people to find the way to that world, they can only find these unusual people to help. After his turn, he contacted the apocalypse, which has crossed the ocean. However, the family is the most famous demon catcher family in the world. The family can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Although the price is countless times higher than that of the domestic demon catchers, it is a drop in the devil for rich businessmen.
At first, Tianqi wanted to send Ran Tianyou to collect information first. After all, Ran Susu was still young and a girl, so he always couldn't worry about going out alone. But at that time, Ran Susu and Yamaguchi's daughter Keiko were the most powerful competitors among demon hunters of the same age. She always wanted to prove her strength by completing more challenging tasks, so she took the initiative to ask her father. However, Tianqi couldn't resist his daughter, so he only promised her, and Tianyou stayed in Japan to deal with all kinds of commissions that had been received.
However, Tianyou never dreamed that this journey would completely change the fate of his sister. Although my sister has shown extraordinary sympathy for evil spirits since she was a child, she should be very clear in her heart that they and she come from two completely different worlds, and feelings such as love and hate should not exist between her and them.
He believes that the reason why his sister will fall in love with the so-called lord of the demon world is that he did not resolutely choose to take over the commission of the rich domestic businessman. If he had been more determined at the beginning, his sister would not have returned to China, let alone usher in the fate of death.
Just the night before his sister left home, after he helped her take care of her bags, the two sat side by side on the table extending from the living room to the courtyard, holding a can of cold beer in his hand, looking at the bright moon above his head and the flowers and plants waving gently in the wind in the yard without saying a word for a long time.
Ran Susu couldn't help opening her mouth first. She patted Ran Tianyou on the shoulder and said, "Don't cry with a sad face, brother! They are not handsome anymore!"
"You, be careful about everything when you go out, don't always show off, and don't care about other people's business! And monsters are good at disguising themselves. Don't easily believe their rhetoric! What the eyes see may not be true. Use more wisdom and rationality. However, Tianyou shook his head and told him, and then took a big sip of beer. He knew that no matter how much he said, he could not change his sister's character, but he couldn't help nagging her over and over again.
"I know. In fact, I overheard the conversation between Uncle Yamaguchi and Dad that day. Keiko and you are finally getting engaged." Ran Susu said and blinked at Ran Tianyou.
"Are you obviously eavesdropping?" However, Tianyou first smiled shyly, and then said, "Yes, she has always been very good to me. Anyway, she will get married sooner or later. Instead of marrying a woman she doesn't know, it's better to marry Huizi, right?"
"What! If you marry Keiko with this attitude, I won't agree! She is my good friend. You have to be nice to her!" However, Susu suddenly stared and shouted.
"Aren't you competitors?! When did you become a good friend again?!" However, Tianyou was surprised by her overly fierce reaction.
"From a very young age, we have an agreement that we should compete with each other as the goal, and no one is allowed to be left too far by the other party, otherwise we will lose our qualification as friends."
"Your friendship is really strange!"
"So I cherish her very much. You should also cherish her, you know?"
"Hey, how did you become my teacher?" However, Tianyou frowned and said. Only then did he realize that he was going to tell his sister more about the precautions of one person outside, but he was educated by her instead.
"I will take good care of myself and won't be stubborn." When she said this, Ran Susu stared at Ran Tianyou very seriously, but soon she smiled mischievously, "But brother, you know how strong your sister is. Even if you don't have to show off, I'm invincible, hahaha!"
However, Tianyou was about to teach her a lesson, but she suddenly raised the cold beer can in her hand and put it on his mouth, making him speechless. At the same time, he felt helpless. He cherished her from the bottom of his heart. If he could let him choose, he could even die instead of her.
Although he later married Yamaguchi's daughter Keiko and had his own daughter, Ran Mingzhu, his guilt for his sister in his heart has always been indelible. This guilt is like a wound that can never be healed, and the wound will collapse and bleed from time to time, making him miserable.
He has kept every letter sent by his sister, including some of her investigation at that time. However, Susu believes that it is the famous monster Rashamu who robbed the daughter of a rich businessman. This kind of monster likes to eat the heart and blood of human girls to maintain her young appearance. She has also found some conclusive evidence to prove her point of view.
Among them, the rich businessman was recognized in the cave where the big monster Rashamu once hid. She found the clothes and backpacks worn by the rich businessman's daughter when she disappeared and brought them back to the rich businessman, and this commission ended.
Although it is not directly stated in Susu's letter, Tianyou can also read that the reason why she was able to enter the hiding place of Rasha's mother in another world was with the help of the lord of the demon world, that is, her later husband Ouyang Xueye. And this Rasha mother happened to be her husband's enemy and the subordinate of the monster that eventually caused her death. Therefore, he decided to start from this clue and find the murderer of his sister alone and avenge her.
He left his wife and daughter and returned to China. He began to investigate with his own strength. At that time, he moved into the Yujin Apartment at No. 53 Pufang Road. At the beginning, he tried to find the way to connect the demon world and the world with his knowledge, but he never succeeded. Later, he suddenly had a wonderful idea, which was to set a lock demon array as a trap in the Yongchuan forest where monsters had once appeared. He thought that once the monster was caught by it and forced them to lead the way for him, he would naturally find the mysterious entrance.
His lock demon array has been used for a while, but no monster has been caught. Disappointed, he is still looking for other clues. It's just that Ran Susu was so eager to protect her husband and his world at the beginning, and there were too few clues about the demon world and the place where she lived.
Just a month after he moved into the Yujin Apartment, his lock demon array finally gained something. I don't know if it was a coincidence that the little ghost he caught was actually the ghost slave of Rasha's mother. Under the guidance of the ghost slave, he finally knew how to enter the demon world, but the ghost slave did not obediently take him to see Rasha's mother, but took him to a hotel called a sparrow in Yongchuan, the royal city.
His identity soon leaked, and he was almost caught by Mrs. Lan, the owner of the hotel. Although he knew that he had been targeted by the monster who had killed his sister Ran Susu, he was unwilling to give up the only opportunity to avenge his sister, so he was in a hurry to record him. After the diaries of various investigations carried out after returning to China were handed over to the hotel owner, he returned to the demon king city. That night, Mrs. Lan's men sneaked into the Tulip Hotel to eradicate Ran Tianyou, but they didn't find him, so they had to destroy all his belongings.
From then on, Ran Tianyou lost contact with his family. Although most people thought he was dead, his wife Keiko had another statement that after losing her good friend Ran Susu, she could not accept that her husband Ran Tianyou would also die. She believes in her husband. In her eyes, her husband is rigorous and proficient in all kinds of demon-catching knowledge. In addition, with his love for himself and his daughter, he will not leave the world so easily.
But why didn't he come back? What about cutting off the connection with everyone? Huizi couldn't tell the reason. In the days of waiting for her husband's return, she managed the career of the Yamaguchi family and the Ran family alone, while raising the pearl.
