Hao Ren froze for a moment before he realized that he was lying on Lily's lap. He was a little surprised. In his mind, such a ladylike behavior had nothing to do with the husky. Lily's normal behavior was supposed to be aiming a brick at his head.
"What's wrong with me?" Hao Ren pulled Lily's tail away and sat up. "What's going on in the sky?"
"Mr. Landlord, you just passed out!" Lily wagged her tail happily. She did not know why she was happy, but she was always happy. "Then the giant fell to the ground, and many monsters came out of the giant's body. When Battie saw that the situation was getting out of hand, she summoned the moon. Ah, Battie, you're back?"
Hao Ren turned his head and saw Vivian emerging from a swarm of bats. The vampire maiden looked at the husky with her arms akimbo. "Doggie, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to let Hao Ren have a good rest?"
"But Mr. Landlord is awake!" Lily wagged her tail proudly. "I told you, a beautiful girl's lap pillow is the best. With a beautiful girl's tail, the effect is multiplied by two."
Hao Ren was embarrassed. He coughed and said, "A normal beautiful girl doesn't have a tail."
Vivian came up and shooed Lily aside. She looked at Hao Ren's face with concern. "How are you now? What happened just now? You are still in a deep connection state after Hercules' death. The MDT said that your mind is leading to an unknown target. "
Hao Ren remembered the "illusion" he had just experienced.
The scene in the illusion was still fresh in his mind. The hazy, distorted starry sky and the strange starry sky were deeply engraved in his mind. But what did the illusion mean? He tried to recall what he saw, only to find that it was just a still starry sky. The cold, silent stars seemed to hide countless secrets, but nothing was revealed.
"I should have entered an illusion. Unfortunately, my observation skills are not good enough. I can't understand what the illusion means at all." Hao Ren frowned and shook his head. He then looked at Vivian and the red light behind Vivian. "How are you now? Is summoning the crimson moon very taxing? What happened here? "
"Just like what Doggie said," Vivian said with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I just lost a lot of power, but my mental state is better than ever. I don't know what's going on, but it seems that the sequelae of summoning the crimson moon have disappeared. In the past, every time I summoned this thing, I had to fight with my mental state first, and the moonlight is more dangerous."
At this moment, the crimson moon had passed its peak and was slowly fading. Its moon wheel had shrunk by more than half, and the moonlight was clearer and more transparent. Under the pure moonlight, Vivian seemed to be covered with a layer of glow. Her smile had an inexplicable sense of holiness, which stunned Hao Ren for a moment. He quickly shook his head and exhaled. "It's good that you are okay. I will tell you more about the illusion when we get back. Now let's go back to the tower and find a way to return to the real world. Vivian, do you need to rest for a while? "
"I only lost magic power. Other than that, I am still much stronger than ordinary people." Vivian waved her hand. "Let's go."
On a hill in the wilderness, the old house still stood intact, but the magic tower behind the house was beyond recognition.
Its surface was covered with frightening cracks, and the spiderweb-like cracks made the tower look like it was about to shatter into pieces at any time. The magical metals around the tower all showed signs of melting, and the Letta runes embedded in the bricks had faded, turning into ordinary carvings without any power.
"Master Mohabben is no longer here," Hathaway said faintly as she looked up at the tower.
Lily had not reacted. "Huh? Where did he go? "
Hao Ren covered the husky's mouth and dragged her to the back. He looked up at the magic tower that had lost its function. "I will pray for him. But first, how do we get out of here? "
As soon as he said that, Lily, Vivian, and Hesperides looked at Noobie. The little Malevolence was still in the can, but this time, it was Vivian holding the can. For some reason, the little thing was unusually quiet and did not cause any trouble along the way. But even if she was quiet, no one dared to release her. God knows if this crazy little thing was on cooldown for the next wave of mischief.
When they entered this space and time, it seemed to have something to do with Noobie, but Noobie was not aware of it at this moment. Noticing everyone's gaze, the little thing just shrunk her body, raised her hand, and shouted, "Wow! Hiss … "
"It's like running out of battery." Vivian shook the can. "Maybe it's really hungry this time."
Hathaway smiled. "Don't worry, it's not difficult to get out of here. You just need to return to where you came from and leave the rest to me."
They returned to the big house and came to the corridor where they had just entered this space and time. Hathaway then chanted a spell to reverse the space, and in a flash, light and shadow changed.
Hao Ren woke up from his trance and saw the ruins of the buildings and debris on the ground. The shadows of the forest swayed not far away, and the sound of the leaves rustling came from the forest.
He looked up and through the big hole in the wall, he could see the tower behind the main house. Just as his eyes fell on the tower, the old but still intact building suddenly shook.
The tower was quickly covered with cracks, and silver-white flames emerged from every crack. In just a few breaths, the whole tower silently turned into ashes as if it had never existed.
The air in front of them was slightly distorted, and a slightly illusory figure appeared in the air. Hathaway had also entered the real world. She looked around and let out a sigh. "Ah, two centuries … I have not seen this place for two centuries."
During the days of guarding the cage, she could not leave that space and time. So even though she knew that the outside world had changed and could sense what was happening in the real world, she had never seen with her own eyes what the place she used to live in had become. Now that she finally saw the forest, she could not help but feel emotional.
"We are going to leave here," Hao Ren looked at Hathaway. "What do you have in mind?"
"Me?" Hathaway tilted her head. "I don't know. What do you think a ghost can do? I am already dead, and the world of the living has nothing to do with me. Most of the pleasures in the world are meaningless. So I will probably stay here for a while, even if it's to reminisce about my old friends, and then find a place to wander, or simply say goodbye to this world. Anyway, my mission is accomplished, and I have no regrets. "
Vivian interrupted her. "Let's go to Coldpath."
"Coldpath?" Hathaway was a little surprised. She then shook her head. "I'm afraid they won't accept me. I am a renegade, and a ghost. There is no precedent among the demon hunters in Coldpath."
"As we have said before, times have changed," Hao Ren said, waving his hand. "The demon hunters are not as stubborn as they used to be. The Council of Elders and the Sages have now been replaced by a younger council. They will accept you. Now that the war between the demon hunters and the otherworldlings has just ended, Coldpath is in dire need of manpower. "
Vivian also chimed in. "That's right. You can come with us. We will take you to Coldpath. Those guys should at least give me some face. And the information you bring back can help them fill in the last part of the gap about the Olympian forces. "
Lily nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, we have a lot of influence over there! Let me tell you, I am your former emperor! "
This time, no one stopped her.
But Hathaway did not understand what Lily meant. She just thought for a moment and nodded. "Well, I can't refuse your kindness."
Before leaving this place, there was still some work to be done. Hao Ren and his team first returned to the forest village.
After Hathaway became a ghost, she gained the talent of invisibility. She hid her body and floated behind Vivian.
Just as expected, along with the great changes in the other space-time, the small village in the forest also underwent earth-shaking changes.
It was as if time and space, which had been stagnant for more than two hundred years, had suddenly sped up and filled in the blanks. The village had completed its process of decline in just a few hours. The old wooden houses had disappeared, and the spreading forest had devoured the border of the village. Vines, weeds, and shrubs had almost completely covered all traces. Only some rotten wood and gravel roads between the plants could vaguely prove that there used to be a human settlement here.
The distortion of space and time had completely disappeared.
Using the location of the communicator, Hao Ren quickly found Pierre, who was on guard behind a big tree. The Wang brothers and Catherine were still a little confused.
Only the four of them were left.
