Chapter 602: Delirious?
Vivien pressed her fingers lightly on her temples and didn't speak for a long time. Hasselblad looked at Hao Ren and then at Vivien curiously, "Can any of you explain to me what happened?" β
"It's Vivien's memory, and the problem of confusion......" Hao Ren didn't know if there were some things that could be sued by Hasselblad, so he only mentioned them briefly, "She sometimes fell into a state of delirium, and she didn't remember what happened at that time." β
Vivien suddenly raised her head and looked at Hao Ren: "What about my manuscript?" β
Because Hao Ren has a convenient and reliable space to carry around, he keeps some important but infrequently used items in the house, including the ancient manuscript that records Vivien's experiences for more than 10,000 years. Hao Ren found the white cloth with dense symbols written on it from his personal space, and unfolded it on a flat boulder nearby, and Vivien immediately leaned over to find it carefully.
At this time, the others didn't care about discussing the issue of going back to their respective homes, and when they saw that there was a bustle, they immediately gathered in a circle.
ββ¦β¦ Early Olympus in the Middle East...... Europe after the Olympian era...... 1426 in Egypt...... Time and place, and every battle," Vivien's fingers moved quickly between the symbols and pictures, each time and place in line with Hasselblad's statement, "What happens before I fall asleep every time......
Lily looked at Vivien worriedly, "Bat, you're sick?" β
"No, it's just to figure out what kind of illness I committed before," Vivien suddenly raised her head and turned to Hao Ren, "Could it be that all I produced was ...... Hallucination? Or is it something else that controls the mind? β
The most unexplainable thing about Vivien's slumber cycle is her "battle record". According to the records on the manuscript. She fights a horde of twisted alien creatures before each slumber, though Vivien herself has no memory of it. The records in the manuscript are remarkably true. Originally, Hao Ren had always thought that it was just a matter of memory for the person concerned, but now the situation has taken a surprising turn.
If Hasselblad is right. Well, Vivien was actually at war with witchers and aliens every time - oh, and rats.
This fact is so damn deceptive.
Hao Ren touched his chin: "No one can tell what happened to you...... Hasselblad, you are a witness, was there anything unusual about Vivien when she went on a killing spree? β
Hasselblad still had a straight face, but if his muscles weren't so stiff, his expression would be crying and laughing: "Abnormal? When a lightning storm burns down the plains, who will study her expression to the point where it is not in place? I only know that whenever a young person questions whether the Countess of the Red Moon is worthy of the name, there will always be an elder who uses these historical materials to educate those stunned youths. Not counting those rats, of course. β
Hao Ren and Vivien looked at Hasselblad sternly, and the latter frowned and thought for a long time before nodding: "Of course, people who have dealt with the countess a few times will definitely feel wrong. She was a pacifist - occasionally moody, but most of the time she was very mild-mannered and hardly clashed with anyone. So every time she kills all sides, there will always be people who think it's incredible, but we all think who provoked her, after all, no matter how good-tempered people are, they will be angry. But now it seems...... Seems to be another truth? β
"Of course, there is another truth," Hao Ren shook his head and sighed, "Do you think that a sane high-level blood clan would concentrate on fighting a group of rats?" And in the end, TM lost! β
Vivien looked into Hasselblad's eyes, "I'm sorry, but it looks like you're really responsible for this eye. I'll help you cure it if I have the chance, if you're willing to get an outlier to help. β
Not to mention Hasselblad this time, even the taciturn Tutain and Bai Huo, who tried to pretend to be in the background, were dumbfounded. Hasselblad opened his mouth in disbelief: "You...... Apologize to me? β
"What are you surprised? I'm amazed at your open-mindedness," Hao Ren pointed to Hasselblad's one-eyed with a strange expression, "You blinded people in one eye, and you didn't mention it after meeting the enemy?" If it hadn't been for the topic, you'd assume it hadn't happened? β
Hasselblad shrugged. Without saying a word, no one can probably know what he thinks in his heart. These long-lived creatures are very different from the worldview of humans, and their views on hatred and memory are incomprehensible to the average person. So Hao Ren always didn't know how to discuss similar topics with them.
After talking about some of the things that had happened back then, Hasselblad led the other two witchers to leave. Vivien touched her forehead: "Landlord, what do you think of me in the first place?" β
Hao Ren frowned: "You obviously lose your judgment before you fall asleep every time. And the situation is very strict, ordinary people and animals have become monsters in your eyes. In this way, I am afraid that every battle mentioned in the manuscript is like this, and you don't know how many times you have turned up other people's stalls......"
Lily raised her hand to remind, "And rats!" β
Vivien covered her face: "Can we not mention the rat?!" At least I won all the fights with everyone except the rats! β
Hao Ren waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's not mention the mouse." Anyway, now I can figure out how Vivienne got your fame...... Originally, I thought it was just a high enough seniority. β
Vivian said with a bitter face: "I didn't think about this at all, and I thought that so many families were afraid of me just because I was higher than them...... How do you know I beat them up in the past? I feel better now than I don't want to ......."
Itzhax probably figured out what was going on, and he asked sullenly, "To be honest, no one has ever broken this with you for so many years?" Don't you have a few friends? β
"There are friends, but not much communication, and even less contact with other people," Vivien shook her head, "and more importantly, the constant melee of the aliens, temporary alliances and enmity are almost the norm, and in such a chaotic situation, one person suddenly flips the table with someone else, and it is almost impossible to make much of a splash - even if it is the most ancient one." Of course, it's possible that someone mentioned it to me, but I forgot ......."
Hao Ren slapped his head, and he felt that this last sentence was the truth.
He put away the manuscript, looked at the gradually sinking sunset, and sighed slightly: "Let's go back first, there are no more clues in this matter, and continuing to investigate it will only add to the troubles, and now we have enough headaches." β
The next step for the group is to head to the Dream Plane to find the whereabouts of the Siren's mother planet, Io, but before they can do so, they must be prepared. Considering that a brain monster had already arrived in this world through the spatial rift, Hao Ren suspected that there were more of those monsters gathered on Io - perhaps they had gathered a large army near the rift, waiting for his compatriots who had successfully crossed a hundred years ago to open the door to invade the world of the table, and he had to deal with it in advance.
If there really is an army there, it will be more than just a whirlpool that needs to be blown up, and it will even require a higher level of armed support to deal with it.
Upon returning home, Hao Ren immediately wrote a report on the events in Nasatone and submitted it to Raven 12345, and then checked the armament of the Giant Tortoise Rock. At the same time, he also sent several jΓΉ terminals to New Erim: to replenish his regular arsenal.
With three more Krakens to hitchhike at once, the already stretched rooms in the house were immediately insufficient. After reluctantly letting the Krakens and Nangong May get together for a night, Hao Ren directly took everyone to prepare for Andre Castle.
But this time he left the stupid cat to watch over the house.
"Big cat, you really don't want to play with me?" The cat girl squatted in front of the teleporter and looked at Hao Ren pitifully, her tail and ears drooping listlessly, "I was very obedient last time." β
Hao Ren believed this, the last time the cat girl went to Nasaton, she was really outstanding, well-behaved and brave, and she didn't do anything to go up and taste the saltiness when she saw a mermaid (in fact, this was what Hao Ren was most worried about at the beginning), but this time he didn't plan to take the cat to Io anyway - the reason is simple, Io is a more dangerous place than Nasaton, which has only one city and the situation is more or less controllable.
The cat was far from able to cope with that kind of incident.
Not only must the stupid cat be left behind, but Doudou must also be left in a safe home, and Elizabeth must also stay to take care of these two guys who are almost certain to be in trouble: the little devil is only a child, but she has more or less commanded a city in Yitzax's absence, and she is sometimes more reliable than other adults.
"You stay and watch the house, and take care of Doudou by the way," Nangong May bent down and patted "Roll" on the head, "As long as you listen to Elizabeth, we will often take you out to play in the future." β
Hao Ren also stepped forward and rubbed the cat girl's ears: "Haven't you learned to mix rice by yourself?" This time, I will try to learn how to wash the dishes and wipe the table with Elizabeth, and when I come back, I will confirm your grades with Elizabeth, you have to learn well, and I will let you eat grilled fish for a week. β
The demon girl next to her immediately patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, Uncle Ren, I'm reliable!" You remember to bring me some interesting parts from Io~~"
The cat girl looked at Hao Ren's face and found that the owner was resolute, so she could only nod in frustration, and then turned her head to Nangong May and made one last request: "Then you turn into a fish tail and let me lick it, and I will stay at home honestly after licking." β
May: "......"
Hao Ren turned his face away: "You let her lick it." β
May looked up to the sky and sighed: "What kind of family are these!" (To be continued......)
