Murphy and Tracy had done everything they had to do in the swamp ecoregion, and it was supposed that they should leave for the Shadow Valley at night to continue the urgent business there, but they didn't rush to leave, and they waited until noon the next day.

Murphy buys a little fresh ingredients in Wolfsburg and uses the kitchen in the Land of Creation to prepare a rather hearty lunch for himself and Tracey.

The two of them took the time to enjoy the world of the two of them, and the assistant curator Iron Beetle who flew around brought a "visitor application".

It's Shani coming.

The two sides had already agreed on this matter, and Xia Ni needed to enter the Land of Creation to see if she could resolve the entanglement of the illusions that had been bothering her that only belonged to the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan.

Although Triss told her that it was impossible to dismantle, the Thorn Archduke, who had been tortured to the point of a near-nervous breakdown, still stubbornly wanted to try it.

She would be standing at the entrance of the exhibition hall, looking up at this secret area that had been hidden for thousands of years. As a Golden-Tier Assassin, Shani maintained her due caution and did not actively touch any area of the heavy gate in front of her, waiting patiently for Murphy to come and pick her up.

Patience is a quality that Shani is proud of.

She was able to go from a down-and-out royal family to the current Grand Duke of the Blood Clan, all because of her excellent qualities, at least she thought so.

After a few minutes of patient waiting, the steel gate in front of him slowly opened, and Murphy, dressed in a slender and well-behaved curator's uniform, welcomed Lady Shannie with a smile on his face.

Dressed in the silver-gray OL outfit, Trithy, a vampire goblin who dressed herself very well, wore a pair of rimless gold wire glasses and stood behind Murphy with an assistant tablet.

The bewitching face was full of malicious smiles that looked hilarious.

"I'd love to show you around, Lady Shannie, but rules are rules."

Murphy regretfully pointed to the registration device at the door and said:

"Guests entering the exhibition hall for the first time have to remove all psionic items from themselves, this is for safety, not on my own intent, and Tracy and I were almost stripped naked when we first entered."

"Gee, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you about that."

Tracey pushed her glasses and arched the fire beside her:

"My dear Shanny, if you want to come in, you have to take off your clothes first, don't worry, I won't let little Murphy peek."

"I'm a gentleman, how could I do such a thing?"

Murphy snorted, took out a piece of cloth to cover his eyes, and turned around and raised his hands to show his innocence, but Xia Ni was very angry by the singing and harmony of the dog man and woman in front of her.

She also wanted to break in, but as soon as she took a step, she staged the embarrassing situation of Tracey last time.

In the flickering of red light, a virtual prohibition road sign was generated, and a piercing warning sounded, and more than fifty spears and short cannons of various styles ejected from the steel wall, locking on and aiming at Lady Shani in an instant.

The terrifying threat sent chills down the thorns.

Her instincts as an Assassin told her that these things might not kill her, but they would definitely cause her to suffer in an instant a serious injury that would have to be recuperated for decades or even centuries, and that was only the first defense of the Land of Creation.

There's no point in breaking through here by yourself, there must be something more dangerous waiting for you.

"So what are you waiting for?"

Tris crossed her waist triumphantly at this time and said:

"Take it off quickly! Don't worry, I've got you covered. ”

"I think you did it on purpose! Tracey. ”

Xia Ni scolded very unhappily:

"You two did it on purpose, just to see me make a fool of myself! How come I haven't heard of people exploring other creations encountering such a dilemma? Did you design it like this on purpose? ”

"Where else can compare to us?"

Tracey pushed the rimless glasses used for decoration and said in a long voice:

"This assistant warns you that this swamp exhibition hall is one of the few places of creation on the continent that is still functioning, and the mysteries you want to know are hidden here.

You see, I told you yesterday to bring you the shards of jealousy of your Thorn Clan, right?

Don't tell me you didn't bring it?

You want to see the ancient memories hidden in the vampire legacy, you have to pay a price, right? ”

"To be precise, a candidate for the Thorn Clan."

Murphy, blindfolded with strips of cloth, explained:

"This is an ancient mystery that we have only discovered in the last few days, and the fact that you hold the Jealousy Fragment only proves that you are the Grand Duke of Thorns, but to truly obtain the bloodline inheritance of the Thorn Clan, you will have to complete the ritual of the candidate here.

I've done that ritual.

I saw in it some of the memories of the Bloody Vulture Elder Salokdal from the last era, and I must say that the weight of those memories was very heavy.

Not only did it make me lose my appetite for food, but it also helped me recognize the truth of the original sin behind those flying visions, and I guess Archduke Oksana must have left something similar in the blood of the Thorn Clan in the same way.

Lady Shanny, so I'm going to update the agreement between us! ”

Murphy stood with his back to the entrance to the Land of Creation and said in a deep voice:

"I'll tell you what I've seen, and you'll have to tell me what you've seen in your bloodline memories. Each of the seven clans has its own heritage, and we must bring them all together in order to piece together the lineage of the Vampire civilization in the 'Golden Age'.

And how we are reduced to 'eternal sinners' in this age.

Knowing this, of course, is only the beginning, and I want to clear my name as a descendant of eternal sin.

Well, this goal is too ambitious, for the time being, if you want to get rid of the troubles and influences of those past illusions on your spiritual world, we still have to join hands in the future.

Please understand, Shani, this is not something that you or the Thorn Clan can accomplish alone.

The original sin of the year was committed by all the vampire leaders, and we descendants must come together if we want to wash away the shame. ”

Shani didn't answer.

Tracey was indeed provoking her just now, but what Murphy said made her feel a rare sense of pressure, and with what she knew about Murphy, this was no such thing.

To make Murphy say so carefully about the origin of the "Golden Age" and the eternal sin, I think Murphy did see something amazing.

After a brief thought, Shani nodded.

She began to take off her coat and leather armor, and glared hard at Trace, who was still whistling as she was lively.

The latter reluctantly turned away from looking, but fortunately, Xia Ni was not a psionic, her two gold-level classes were related to assassins, and she didn't have many psionic items on her body except for some defensive things.

Not to exaggerate to the point that even underwear is a psionic item like Tracey.

Dressed in close-fitting cloaks revealing her perfect figure, Mrs. Shane completed the visitor registration and was allowed to enter the visitors' hall, where she was temporarily empowered by Murphy, the curator, to enter the biology laboratory on the basement floor.

Murphy has the biopod and certification process in place.

Of course, with Shani's vigilance, she couldn't have completely obeyed Murphy's command, and before she entered the biological pod, she unleashed a secret force that looked like a deterrent.

It was the shadows that converged in the shadows of the three of them, wriggling like living creatures, and it looked very strange.

"If you two want to do something bad, then be mentally prepared."

Shani stood in front of the biopod, unbraiding her hair and scolding the innocent-looking Murphy and Tracy:

"I call this power 'Haunted by Shadows', and it is also the convergence of my power on the path of assassination and shadows, and once I die here, or if I lose my mind and become a slave, then Haunting will be activated.

Your shadows will be the nightmare that haunts you all your lives, and every night, every time your shadows appear, they become my vengeful spirits and take your lives from me.

This is my transcendent law. One, Trissy!

You should know what these three words mean, so I advise you not to do anything during this ceremony, and if you do, it's best to tear it down before I get angry. ”

"Hey, these people just can't learn to trust! Obviously we didn't do anything. ”

Tracey scoffed:

"If it weren't for the pleasant cooperation we've had before, and if it weren't for the fact that we have a common enemy of Dusk, Murphy and I wouldn't have allowed you, one of the best thieves on the continent, to enter the Land of Creation.

This is our secret stronghold!

Now use our power to help you go back to the past, you are still not satisfied! Did you know that Paliano has booked a bio pod for Lord Pa Ying here, and Lord Pa Ying will come here with the Shards of Arrogance to relive the past?

If you don't want it, you can go, no one will stop you. ”

"I'm just talking about the ugly things in front of me, and it's because I know the character of my fellow citizens so well that I'm worried, and you, Tris, though you're trying to be a good person now, were the worst of us back then!"

Shani snorted, tossed the shard of jealousy she had with her to Murphy, and as she undressed and lay down in the bio-pod filled with clear liquid, she said:

"I also know that every Grand Duke is trying with all his might to try to reunite the broken tablets, but I advise you not to bother with that, the seven original shards cannot be remade into one by a simple touch.

I tried it yesterday.

Pablo handed me the Greedy Fragments, and the terrible pirate who seemed rude but was actually shrewd was eager to see if the slate could be reshaped, but it turned out to be disappointing, and nothing happened after the two pieces came into contact. ”

"It was cut open by the ancients."

Tracey shook her head and explained:

"Little Murphy saw the end of the Golden Age, and he even heard the last cries of the ancients in that era, and we can even confirm that it was old Edward who cut the slate of our civilization with his own hands.

He must have done this with some kind of very special Creator power, because it was not only the slate itself that was sliced open, but also the original inheritance of the vampire clans!

Shani, I'm not kidding you!

I now have a terrifying guess, I think that in the Golden Age, vampires had no clans, the power of the seven families was fused together, and a complete civilization tablet could give us a truly complete blood heritage.

But those powers were permanently separated by the slate being cut, leaving the vampires of this era to inherit only one from it.

We used to be incomparably strong, but now we are also reduced to mediocrity. ”

The Scarlet Witch glanced at the Fragment of Jealousy that Murphy had placed on the tray, and said:

"We can get back strong!

The premise is that the leaders of the clan will rediscover the importance of unity after a thousand years of division. That's why Murphy and I must hold this certification ceremony for you, as we want to see the resurgence of the Golden Age of Bloodlines.

It's a big and beautiful dream, but we might be able to take the first step today.

So, don't look at everything today with your bad assassin mentality, it's not a plot in the making! ”

"Well said!"

Shani rolled her eyes and said:

"If it didn't come out of a vampire's mouth, then I'd definitely choose to believe it, and let's get started, let me see those ancient memories."

It was evident that the Grand Duke of Thorns was indeed tormented by the visions that always flashed into his mind at midnight, and it was only then that Murphy realized that Xia Ni had used to wear makeup to hide her bad dark circles every time she met them before.

For a vampire Grand Duke to have such dark circles under his eyes, it has fully demonstrated that Xia Ni is likely to have such a long-term nervous breakdown.

So, without much hesitation, she lay down in the biological pod.

Murphy didn't do anything either, and started the certification ceremony of the vampire civilization thorn candidate as he did yesterday, and after the progress bar appeared, Murphy took a step back and looked at Shanny, who had fallen into deep sleep in the biological pod, and said to Tracy:

"This strange liquid contains some kind of ingredient that can paralyze the gold, maybe we should extract a little bit and do an experiment or something, if we can make a powerful paralyzing toxin from it"

"Don't think about it, I've done the experiment since you fell asleep last night."

Tracey pointed to an unpacked test bench on the edge of the lab, and said:

"The liquid is just a simple nutrient, and what really puts you to sleep is some kind of energy in the biopod.

That's the realm of the Creator, and with my current shallow understanding of Creator technology, I have absolutely no way of understanding how it works. Well? What happened to you? Why is your face so ugly? ”

She noticed that Murphy beside her suddenly shook his body, his breathing became heavy, and his eyes were even bloodshot.

This startled Tracey.

She thought it was yesterday's certification process that caused Murphy some strange injuries and after-effects, but it wasn't, and Murphy couldn't tell Tracey the embarrassing truth.

Because his mind is under the double pressure of reality and illusion.

Perhaps it was the intimacy between Sarlockdal and Lady Oksana during the Golden Age that caused Shane to have some kind of strange "resonance" with the similarly certified Murphy when she browsed "Ancient Dreams".

And give it between him and Shani, but between Salokdal and Oksana!

Murphy's eyes flashed vivid images of Sarlockdale and Lady Oksana in some kind of intimate relationship.

But the worst thing is that Murphy knows that when this ancient dream is activated, the consciousness of the authenticator will be replaced by the protagonist in the memory, that is, the Lady Oksana in those constant images is actually in Shani's mind, and Sarokdal is Murphy's mind.

In this ancient memory, which is viewed by two people at the same time, Murphy and Shani are having some rather "strange" relationship as the ancestors of the two clans.

That's embarrassing!

Murphy could only grit his teeth to keep his mind lucid and keep himself from falling into the strange mental resonance of this damn ancient dream, but in Tracey's opinion, little Murphy's situation was really getting worse.

He was shaking like a bull that couldn't control himself, and his eyes were getting bloodshot.

"Don't scare me! What the hell is going on here? ”

Tracy clenched her hands in a hurry, so that Murphy's wrists felt the pain, and this pain made Murphy sober for a moment, he glanced at the dormant Xia Ni in the biological pod, and turned his head to kiss Triss on the lips.

Damn it!

Ms. Oksana!

As an ancient, don't leave this kind of nasty thing in your heritage, okay? Why do you even carve this kind of thing into your DNA? There was nothing in Salokdal's ancient dream!

Blanch, because of your boring actions, you're going to harm a poor vampire after a thousand years of bad social death.

Fortunately, Ms. Oksana was still a little decent, and the embarrassing memories came and went quickly, the illusion in front of Murphy's eyes slowly dissipated, and the resonance of the ancient dream also ended at this moment.

Obviously, the rest of the information that Oksana left in the bloodline of the Thorn Clan had nothing to do with Salokdal.

Tracy didn't know what was happening, and although she had taken off half of her clothes, she was relieved to see Murphy quiet, and pushed Murphy away in disgust.

Murphy, who had a ghost in his heart, could only laugh and apologize continuously, and after agreeing to the nonsense requests of several of Tracey's excessively standard girlfriends, Mrs. Shannie's biological cabin slowly opened.

Her certification is over.

Tracey stepped forward to ask, but Murphy stayed where she was, and when Shanny woke up, the two looked at each other with a look of embarrassment, both of them seeing the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

All right.

It seems that in that damn "Ancient Peachy Dream", they both recognized each other.

"I saw the full story from Ms. Oksana's perspective."

Xia Ni is a well-informed golden rank in the end, she didn't waste time on those embarrassing details, but put on her coat and whispered with a serious face:

"In that place called 'Eden', the vampire Seven Ancient Grand Dukes have worked together to advance a project called 'Perfect Life', led by His Excellency Vic Fato Fisnoratu of the Mad Blood Clan.

They want to weed out all the weak traits in the vampire's bloodline that are not conducive to survival.

They possess a mystical knowledge called 'genetic recombination' and start an experiment in a place called the greenhouse of life, but this experiment is exploited by the shadows of subspace.

I don't know exactly how it happened, but just as they thought they had the hang of it and started experimenting with humans, a huge subspace rift opened in Eden.

It was the world's first subspace invasion, and it completely destroyed the Eden.

Ah, shit!

This is our original sin, and we have ruined everything. ”

"But what's the matter with that light?"

Murphy asked:

"You should have seen that white light! The white light that blocked the subspace devouring world, do you know what that's all about? Ms. Oksana is a high-ranking intelligence officer in Eden, so she should know more about it. ”

"That light, that's the 'sentinel'!"

Xia Ni rubbed her aching forehead.

She curled up in some fear, and said:

"I just know the name, and I know that Oksana sent a distress call at the last minute to a strange place, a strange group called the Sentinels, who prevented that subspace disaster.

In addition, the Ancients did not lose their memories due to the subspace disaster, they actively erased their memories before leaving the Ruins of Eden.

Not only them, but all the survivors who left Eden had their memories erased.

That process was personally led by Ms. Oksana and Ms. Constance, the high-level researcher at the Energy Research Laboratory in the Eden Sector who specializes in psionic erosion, and one of the people in the place who has the most understanding of the truth of the subspace.

She says that the tainted memories cannot be brought back to the light of day because the corrosion of subspace revives the memories and tempts us to step into the same maelstrom of mistakes again, but now those memories are back.

I have a feeling that this is the last malevolent remnant of the Golden Age.

This may be a trap for us

Charlemagne and Salokdal both died in subspace-related disasters, with Lady Constance, Grand Duke of the Mystic Blood Clan, mysteriously disappearing, and Lady Oksana.

I saw some fragmented images in her last memories.

She had returned to the ruins of Eden before being murdered by Sarlokdal and Charlemagne! Oh my God, there is an invisible hand luring us back to the past, and that may be the original sin tormenting us heirs of the blood of the sin offspring.

Oh, my God!

I lifted the veil of the past, and all I saw was despair.

We

We may have been targeted, we're finished, we"

"Smack"

Murphy's slap hit the already lost Xia Ni in the face, and the anti-virus effect of the Omega program instantly made Xia Ni wake up from that undeserved state, and it was obvious that she had almost fallen into the trap of subspace just now and lost herself.

Xia Ni, who came to her senses, stared at him with a kind of incomprehensible grudge against Murphy, which made Murphy furious all over her body, hell! Shani didn't seem to have fully recovered from Lady Oksana's ancient dreams, and the way she looked at herself was exactly the same as Oksana looked at Salekdal.

Scald!

Things are starting to get weird, do you want to slap Xia Ni again? But will this get you into trouble, such as being targeted by the guys called "Boxers" in the shadows of the subspace?

Just as Murphy hesitated, Tracy reached out and gently patted Shanny's shoulder, and she whispered:

"Be confident, don't guess, we've been targeted for a long time!

Isn't dusk their dog's legs?

It's too late to run, Shani.

Unless you're willing to bow down to subspace, we don't have any more options than to fight. ”
