Lily's series of abnormal words and deeds instantly shocked everyone in the secret chamber and stopped what they were doing. However, Lily seemed to feel nothing. She just kept rubbing her eyes, and the sleepiness and confusion on her face became more and more serious. In this state of confusion, Lily finally noticed the unusual atmosphere. She flicked her tail and looked at Hao Ren. "Mr. Landlord, Mr. Landlord, what's wrong?"
Hao Ren jumped back more than two meters. The first thing that came to his mind was, "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Lily —" Lily continued to swing her tail.
The husky maiden's words came to an abrupt halt. She looked confused and shocked. After a moment, she slowly stood up, like a person who had just woken up from a dream of thousands of years. She began to look around, and the ancient furnishings in the secret chamber came into her eyes one by one.
After a long time, a big teardrop quietly fell from the corner of her eye, but Lily was unaware of all this. Her face was still blank and confused, as if the teardrop was controlled by another will hidden in the depths of her soul, which had died long ago.
"Doggie?" After a few seconds, Vivian tried to call Lily. "You … Did you remember something?"
"I … No, but I just feel strange. This place is very familiar." Lily woke up. She felt a chill on her face. She touched the corner of her eye and was a little surprised. "Ah, why am I crying?"
Hao Ren looked at Lily blankly. For the first time, he felt that the dog maiden, who had always been unusually healthy and energetic, was in an extremely fragile state. Her mind seemed to be greatly shaken. Seeing that Lily's footsteps were a little unstable, he immediately stepped forward to support her and carefully let her sit on the stone bed. "Don't talk and don't think too much. Maybe there's something left in the secret chamber that has affected your mind. I'll let the MDT examine you … "
At this time, an inexplicable conjecture had come to Hao Ren's mind. But this conjecture was so shocking that Lily's worldview collapsed. So he would rather believe that the husky had eaten something on the ground.
Just as he helped Lily to sit down, a cold wind suddenly came from the corner of the secret chamber, and then a translucent black shadow suddenly appeared in the air. This time, the shadow's presence was unusually strong. Hao Ren immediately saw her.
"You are …" Hao Ren looked at the spirit that appeared out of thin air in amazement. He suddenly realized that this was the third time the ghost had appeared. The first time was in the library. She ran into a large bookshelf and disappeared. The second time was in the banquet hall. The figure also appeared out of thin air and finally disappeared into Lily. And in this secret chamber, she appeared for the third time.
The 'ghost' that appeared out of thin air did not speak. She just stood quietly three or four meters in front of Hao Ren and Lily. Her face was blurred, and her body was slightly transparent. But they could still tell that she was a petite woman.
While everyone was shocked, Claude carefully observed the shadow and finally exclaimed, "The Echo of the Holy Spirit?!"
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison, "Speak human language!"
"This is … the echo of the first sage!" Claude explained quickly. "The first sage was killed by the Crimson Moon. Her soul was torn apart, so she could not rest in peace. On the higher floors of the Netherrealm Clock Tower, you can occasionally see an image similar to the first sage walking around. That is the echo of her soul. But the truth of this matter is only known by the twelve sages and us attendants. Ordinary demon hunters will confuse these images with the ordinary space-time illusions that can be seen everywhere in the Netherrealm Clock Tower. Only we know that this is the power left behind by the first sage. "
Hao Ren immediately looked at the phantom in surprise. He did not expect that he had encountered the remnant soul of the first sage twice in a row. What surprised him even more was that after the phantom stood quietly for a while, she suddenly stepped toward him. Her body swayed like water ripples, and her blurred face gradually became clear. Slowly, her eyebrows, lips, facial features, and the appearance of Lily appeared.
Finally, she lunged forward and merged into Lily's body.
"Wow!" Lily subconsciously screamed, and her tail straightened. "Ghost possession! Ahhhhhh!"
"Shut up! You are possessed by yourself!" Vivian was smart and knowledgeable. If she still could not figure out what was going on, it would be a waste of her 10,000 years of experience. Like the others, she found it hard to believe, but she still asked, "Doggie, are you … the first sage?"
Lily stared blankly at them. "Do I look like one?"
"It's not a matter of whether you look like one or not," Hao Ren said as he grabbed Lily's tail and ears. "This, this, this … I thought I was experienced and knowledgeable in the past two years, and I would be able to stay calm in any situation. But when it happens to you, it's still so devastating …"
Lily did not dodge. After Hao Ren grabbed her tail, she exclaimed, "Ah! What are you doing, Mr. Landlord? "
Before her voice trailed off, she slapped Hao Ren on the head. The Steel Membrane Shield glowed.
Hao Ren's head buzzed from Lily's slap. Fortunately, the shield was sturdy. Otherwise, the dog maiden would have slapped him into the ground. He retracted his hand in embarrassment. "Err, I was too concerned. I just wanted to see if there were any changes in you."
At this time, the MDT had circled around Lily a few times. It had recorded the whole process of the phantom merging with Lily. It had finished its analysis. "According to my judgment, you are right: it was not a possession, but a return and integration."
Lily was surrounded by everyone. She looked innocent. "So what should I do?"
Discussion, research, observation, analysis.
The precious ancient files seemed to become unimportant all of a sudden. Hao Ren and his team's attention shifted from the antiques to Lily. Hao Ren used the high-tech MDT. Vivian and Y 'zaks were checking Lily's mental state. White Flame and Teuton, together with Claude, were rummaging through the ancient files about the first sage for evidence.
After a while, things finally became clearer.
"How did Doggie become the first sage?" Even though the facts were in front of her, Vivian still could not believe it. She stared at the cheerful husky and could not associate it with the great leader of the demon hunters. "It's too much …"
Just then, Ymir's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's mind. "If you trust me, maybe I can help you check it out."
A group of people ran out of the secret chamber. Ymir looked at Lily with his eyes wide open. His voice was full of surprise. "I didn't expect the first sage to be reincarnated. It's amazing to be able to do this under the illumination of the Crimson Moon."
"How are you going to check it out?" Hao Ren looked at the guardian giant curiously.
"Check the soul and spirit," Ymir said frankly. "I have been in the Netherrealm Clock Tower for thousands of years. My perception is all over the tower, so I am very familiar with the echo of the first sage. With this connection, I should be able to figure out what is going on with this little girl."
Hao Ren suddenly realized that the most powerful force of the guardian giants was their mental energy!
The demigod creatures created by the goddess of creation had amazing mental energy. Aside from the First Borns, the mental power of the guardian giants was also overwhelming to the mortals. Muru's ramblings in his sleep were enough to create a cult in the Beinz Diocese. Ymir's power was certainly not weak.
After thinking for a while and getting Lily's consent, Hao Ren nodded. "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Then he told the MDT through the mental connection, "You monitor from the side. If there's a problem, immediately cut off their mental connection."
Although Hao Ren believed that the guardian giants were respectable, he was still unfamiliar with Ymir. Moreover, this was a guardian who had lost his memory in the Sin of the Divine Blood, so he had to be more careful. This was not suspicion or conspiracy theory, but the necessary vigilance and responsibility.
After everything was arranged, Lily stood in front of Ymir's huge head, a little nervous. She relaxed her mind as Ymir instructed.
At the same time, countless shining runes appeared on the floor near Ymir's head. They were ancient runes.
"Open your heart …" Ymir's voice echoed in Lily's mind, with a reassuring and peaceful power. "Uncover your dusty memories … Recall the moment when you first opened your eyes in this body … What you saw, I will also see …"
Lily closed her eyes. As her body and mind relaxed, her thoughts sank deeper and deeper, gradually returning to the starting point of her life.
The snow-capped mountain forest whose name she had forgotten, the nameless cold village …
