Because of Vivian's words like divine help, the prestige between Hao Ren and Heatherena directly turned from neutral and friendly to hatred - to be honest, if Vivian hadn't watched Hao Ren from the side, it was estimated that this shrunken version of Vivian would have rushed up and bitten people. Looking at the eyes that looked like looking at the enemy who killed his mother, Hao Ren felt that he was quite innocent, and he wanted to say a word to Hethiana: This girl, if you are not treated by Vivian, it is completely because of your own abnormal behavior, okay? If you are a little more secure and don't let Vivien have a psychological barrier to sexual orientation, your relationship will definitely not be like this! Vivien is usually a kind girl, even Lily can accept her, let alone a bat spirit who is in the same vein as herself?

However, he really didn't get a chance to say this, because he wasn't sure which would be the first to pounce and bite after Vivien or Hethana......

Speaking of the relationship between Hethanna and Vivian, in fact, Hao Ren feels more confused, the ethical relationship he is familiar with has encountered a huge logical challenge at this moment, do you say this is a mother and daughter or sisters? According to Lily's logic, these two should be considered mother and daughter, after all, Hethanna is "the meat that fell from Vivian's body", but Hao Ren feels that the bat made by Vivian is her own doppelganger, and her doppelganger's cultivation into essence is also a derivative of the doppelganger - there is no process of inheritance or replacement, and there is no discord between these two sisters. Later, after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly remembered that he had heard the teacher talk about mitosis when he was in biology class......

But unfortunately, I can't remember what the specific content of that class said.

In the end, he decided that no matter what the relationship between the two was, he didn't want to be bitten by Vivian because of these cognitive problems. The latter apparently had an allergic reaction to the phrase "meat that fell from the body......

Everyone walked in a thick fog that seemed to have no end, and the front and left were completely filled with these strange fogs. But there's only one path under your feet, so you don't have to worry about getting lost here as long as you don't walk around. But the scenery in the fog is not always static. Hao Ren was sure that at some point he had seen something fleeting in the fog, sometimes it seemed to be a passer-by in ancient Greek costume driving livestock, and sometimes it was a modern urbanite in a suit and leather in a hurry. These strange, absurd images appear and disappear in the distant fog, and the mirage is so curious that you can't help but want to go there and see what is going on. Hethanna reminded everyone not to deviate from the path under their feet: "Don't be deceived by the scenery in the thick fog, don't think about coming back if you take a step out, this layer of fog is the masterpiece of the Shadow Masters, it contains the memory of the city of Athens for 3,500 years, once you step into it, you will be swept up in these 3,500 years of random memories." I'm not going to make sure I'll be able to find you—the fog will never stop. ”

Hao Ren was secretly speechless, he didn't know how many strange traps were still protecting the Shadow Fortress in this city, he only knew that there was a reason why those powerful demon hunters had not been able to conquer this shelter for many years. What's even more incredible is that above this strange shadow layer, there is a bright "real Athens city", where countless human beings live in the sun, not realizing that there is such a world hidden in the shadow of their city!

As everyone walked along, the strange scenery in the dense fog appeared more and more frequently, Hao Ren saw a column of ancient soldiers holding shields and spears walking towards him, but before he could reach him, he suddenly turned into a group of office workers in modern clothes, and an old car that would only be seen in the twenties of the last century burst out of the fog with a piercing whistle. The phantom disappearance of Itzhax's body to the other side of the fog, and even a group of German soldiers in World War II Nazi uniforms running up from behind the crowd, these memories from more recent years are all the more vivid, and Hao Ren can even see the sparkle on the button of each Nazi soldier's uniform. Eventually, old and modern buildings began to alternate frequently on both sides of the road. More and more clear images appeared in the dense fog, some of which no longer seemed to be "memories", and their behavior was noticeably different from the previous apparitions. And running around in the fog in a daze, Hethanna pointed to the apparitions and said in a regretful tone, "This is the unlucky guy lost in the trap. Some are outliers who have committed serious crimes and are thrown into the fog, and some are poor creatures who have provoked the 'doorman'. There are also some witchers who don't know the height of the sky. No one can compete with the memories of a city of 3,500 years, and it doesn't take long for them to be 'digested' in the fog, and all that remains is a fragmented image of them before they died. I don't know how powerful you are, but don't take it lightly to challenge the defenses of the shadow layer, this thing is not easy to deal with. ”

Heatherena repeatedly emphasized the horror of these traps, and Hao Ren knew that this girl had indeed inherited some kindness factors from Vivien, so she smiled gratefully: "Thanks for reminding us, we will be careful......"

Heather Anna snorted, and turned her head away from him like an awkward child, this action was not threatening, but it still made Hao Ren bored.

At this time, the dense fog around suddenly dissipated, and the vision in front of the group suddenly widened.

"Well, this is it," Hethanna said, gesturing her chin and pointing to the scene below, "Welcome to another Athenian city, one of the few safe places on the planet." ”

"Uh-oh," Lily let out a long sigh as she craned her neck to look into the distance.

The group was now standing on a high platform at the top of a building, and from here they could see a sizable area. The sky seems to be shrouded in a veil, and it seems to be piled up with thick clouds that never dissipate, and the sun and moon are not visible, and under this drowsy sky is a strange city completely different from the real Athens: all the buildings are as if they were moved out of the historical scroll and are full of classical style, huge buildings piled up of rocks and strange sculptures can be seen everywhere, and the most common in the city are round stone columns and spine-roofed houses in the ancient Greek style, But in the middle of these houses you can also see spires or castles that are out of step with their surroundings - the latter of which is a nondescript appearance, but it must be admitted that they can be called architectural treasures when taken out of their own, and the modern rapid stacking of industrial and high-tech buildings cannot compare with any of the houses here, and you will never find the same intricately carved beams and columns, and the meticulously painted doors, and so on The ingenious stone slabs and the delicate reliefs that took great pains to design. Since there is no sun and moon in the sky, the city in the shadows is full of artificial light sources, bright lights can be seen on the tops of buildings and on both sides of the road, but it is not known what the source of energy for these lights is.

Looking at such a city, Hao Ren has a feeling that he has gone on the wrong timeline, and even the wrong world line by the way: classical buildings of various eras and regions are piled up in one city, as if an impatient architect is eager to display all the perfect works in his mind. He couldn't help but point to the nearest bungalow: "This kind of house doesn't look like it was more than 3,000 years ago, right?" ”

"The shelter is not closed forever, and occasionally there are homeless families from other areas who settle here, and many houses of different eras and styles in the city have been accumulated from generation to generation. And some people will be very idle, when they are bored, they will rebuild their own houses, change to a bungalow today, change to a castle tomorrow, and maybe dig a hole in the ground the day after tomorrow to live, anyway, we have plenty of time and energy, and there is nothing to do. ”

"Where did the materials come from to build the house?" Hao Ren asked curiously.

Hethanna had just made up her mind not to deal with Hao Ren's appearance, but after a while, she seemed to have forgotten about this stubble, and at this time she began to answer questions again: "When the shadow fortress was built, those old-timers dragged the two hills directly in, and then we also have a relatively safe channel to get supplies from outside." The Witcher, no matter how big they are, can't monitor the whole world, and they won't know if we're digging for rocks or smuggling things from deep underground. ”

Vivien looked at the city below but only frowned: "It's really not any growth at all...... Net study of these flashy things. ”

Hao Ren coughed dryly twice and muttered quietly: "Ahem...... You said you dreamed of living in a castle......"

Vivien's face turned red and she began to poke Hao Ren's back hard.

Hao Ren felt the kind of eyes like looking at the enemy who killed his mother again...... (To be continued......)
