Hallucination? Of course, Hao Ren did not think that what he had just seen was an illusion.
He was sure that what he saw was Rollie, and he was not hallucinating because he missed his family too much. There were plenty of people he could think of. Even if he missed Lil Pea, he would not think of the silly cat who only knew how to meow into his ear every morning, except for scratching the door, stealing food from the sofa, and throwing rats into the pot.
He associated what he saw with the "light eclipse" phenomenon that was happening near the Sunscorch Tower.
So, after giving Veronica a perfunctory answer, Hao Ren found an excuse to leave alone. He looked for the area in the Palace of the Golden Roses where the light eclipse phenomenon was most concentrated. Such areas were not uncommon nowadays. After the energy explosion of the Sunscorch Tower, one-third of White City was involved in a phase anomaly. As he walked, he would see walls, platforms, and even whole houses disappearing out of thin air. Ivy and curtains were floating in the place of the light eclipse, which looked strange and conspicuous.
He did not find the silly cat again, but he saw two nervous maids in front of a pavilion.
The two maids had their backs to Hao Ren, and they did not notice that someone was approaching. When Hao Ren walked over, he heard them talking in a low voice.
"… Did you see that just now? Phew, it went over in a flash. Oh my god, it scared the hell out of me. "
"I saw it too! I thought it was an illusion … That thing that looked like an octopus, with tentacles all over its body, seemed to be floating in the air? That thing was flying towards me! "
"Stop talking, I have goosebumps all over my body, and I saw a man standing behind that thing. Oh my god, I have never seen such an ugly thing in my life … That must be a demon from the abyss of chaos!"
Listening to the conversation between the two maids, Hao Ren immediately thought of the autonomous robots on his spacecraft and Wang Daquan's fresh and unconventional face. He could not help but ask, "What are you talking about?"
The two maids were startled. When they saw Hao Ren, they immediately bowed in fear. "Your Excellency! We … we didn't slack off, we just … "
"Alright, alright, I'm not here to check on you. Don't be so nervous." Hao Ren quickly waved his hand. "What did you say you saw just now? Octopus? And an extremely ugly man? "
The two maids looked at each other, and the panic in their eyes did not recede much. However, after discovering that Hao Ren was really quite amiable, they finally calmed down and described what they had seen before.
They suddenly saw those things when they were cleaning the corridor. Just like how Hao Ren saw Rollie, the scene inside the Petrachelys suddenly appeared in the air, but it was fleeting.
Judging from the time, it seemed to be the moment when Hao Ren saw Rollie.
"Is this the octopus you're talking about?" Hao Ren frowned, opened his dimensional pocket, and released an autonomous robot.
The autonomous robots let out a series of gibberish sounds and happily circled around the two maids.
"Wow!" The two maids exclaimed in unison, and then nodded hurriedly. "That's it! That's it! So it's … your magical pet, Your Excellency? "
There was a little fear and admiration on the faces of the two maids. Apparently, the deeds of Hao Ren had been spread among the servants, so much so that their fear of the octopus had weakened a lot. One of them even nodded. "Actually, it's quite cute. We thought we saw a ghost in broad daylight. "
Hao Ren: "… Hahaha, hahaha …"
After sending the two maids away, Hao Ren began to think about the appearance of these "illusions". At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind. "Partner! Partner! Pattianne calling partner! Pattianne calling partner! Please reply if you receive! "
Hao Ren was stunned, and then he was overjoyed. "I hear you. Have you finished fiddling with the communication device?"
"Motherf * cker, I know! I knew it would work … "The voice of the MDT came clearly, sounding very excited." Partner, your advice last time really worked. We found the relics of the goddess of creation from CARS and built a divine oscillation antenna here. The shielding problem has been solved! You can talk to us normally in the future! "
This was almost the best news at this stage. Hao Ren resisted the urge to cheer and asked happily, "What did you use as the medium? The lifeblood or the Gilded Disc? "
Before the MDT said anything, Hao Ren heard Muru's muffled voice. "It's me."
Hao Ren was speechless.
At this moment, in the outside world, in the "material vacuum zone" of the vast universe, the Petrachelys was cruising among a large number of artillery outposts and production bases. On the top platform of the spacecraft, Muru sat expressionlessly on a giant chair, holding a scepter-like antenna bracket in his hand, and a string of crystal oscillation amplifiers on his head. Nolan's holographic image stood in front of the guardian giant, smiling. "Make do with it a little more. I'm making a more portable antenna device for you in my stomach. The one you're using now is a trial version …"
Muru nodded. "It's okay. I feel good now …"
Hao Ren could not see what was happening outside, but he could guess what was going on. He listened to the MDT's explanation. "I went back and thought about it. You have to find the closest holy relic to the power of the goddess of creation, right? The lifeblood we have is a second-hand product made by Zorm. No matter how powerful the Gilded Disc is, it is just a tool. It is further away from the goddess in terms of 'blood'. So after looking around, the one with the strongest divinity is the goddess' son …"
"Well, you guys are good," Hao Ren said.
"By the way, partner, I want to tell you something. Y 'zaks said he saw —"
"Did you see two girls in maid's clothes?" Hao Ren immediately knew what he was looking for. "I saw Rollie too!"
"Rollie?" The MDT was stunned for a moment before it quickly came to its senses. "No wonder she ran out of the lounge like a madwoman, yelling that Big Boss Cat's ghost was looking for her canned fish!"
Hao Ren said, "… Let Vivian cut her later. Let's get down to business first. It turns out that we have broken through a deeper level of divine blockade. Those were not illusions but signs of two dimensions overlapping."
"Nolan is using half of her computing power to retrace the dimensional readings. Partner, what happened to you?"
"I blew up a seemingly important tower. But it was not a physical explosion. Let me tell you slowly …"
Hao Ren explained what had happened before and concluded, "All in all, there have been all kinds of strange phenomena happening here since then. Although they are not harmful, they are affecting normal life. Recently, the king and his family are also discussing moving out temporarily."
The MDT was silent for a moment. Then it said, "I have a guess."
"Go ahead."
"Partner, the divine explosion you created weakened the goddess of creation's blockade of Collow. But because of the limited energy of the lifeblood, it did not completely 'blow up' the barrier. It only formed a small weak point on the barrier. On this weak point, the connection between the Collow dimension and the real universe became closer, which resulted in the phenomenon mentioned above. Because the divine shield is still working, the matter that can break through the barrier and interact with the real universe on this' singularity 'is limited, and the way of interaction is also limited. Basically, it is limited to all kinds of bizarre hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. As for the 'light erosion' phenomenon you mentioned, it is probably just a by-product of this singularity. "
Hao Ren blinked. "So this haunted illusion will continue here for a long time? It may cause a lot of chaos. "
The MDT was silent for a moment as if it was checking the data. Then it gave a negative answer. "I don't think so, partner. Nolan thinks that the image interaction between the two dimensions is because the Petrachelys happened to fly past your position at that time. That is to say, we were together just now, and the Palace of the Golden Roses and the Petrachelys coincided at the same coordinate."
Hao Ren instantly understood: the Collow dimension and the real universe were like two parallel worlds. Although they could not see or touch each other, their spatial coordinate system was still the same. The Petrachelys kept cruising in the 'material vacuum' of the real universe, and had probably passed by Collow many times. Just now, when he used a divine explosion to create a singularity in the capital of the Kingdom of Taros, the Petrachelys happened to pass by here.
The moment the two dimensions overlapped, they saw each other in the other dimension.
"Partner, if we follow this idea, maybe we can use violence to break the shield of Collow," the MDT said. "We can get tens of thousands of tons of lifeblood and let it go on a rampage. Even if the impact can't completely break the barrier, it should be able to open a crack in the 'shell' of Collow."
"No, we can't do that." A bolt of lightning flashed across Hao Ren's mind. He immediately stopped the MDT's seemingly feasible suggestion.
The MDT did not understand. "Why?"
"Why did the goddess of creation want to seal this place?" Hao Ren asked. "Collow, in the divine language of the goddess of creation, means' prison. 'She deliberately sealed this prison. That Lockmarton, although the local legend says that he is dead, according to the situation of the Tide of Chaos, I think that thing is still alive, just suppressed in the depths of the prison. Before we solve this problem, we must not open the prison door."
The MDT pondered for a moment. "… Well, what you said makes sense. This plan will be put on hold for now. But I have an opportunity to design a way to teleport things to your side based on this idea. There should be no risk if we maintain a one-way teleportation. "
This time, Hao Ren had no objection. "Approved."
After discussing the next material transmission plan, Hao Ren hung up the communication.
He walked aimlessly in the Royal Garden, thinking about how to teach the stupid cat a lesson when he returned. At that moment, he saw a Royal Guard rushing towards him.
"Your Excellency!" The guard stood in front of him and saluted. "His Majesty the King invites you to a meeting. He has something important to discuss with you."
(Meeting in Shijiazhuang. Updates regularly in the next two days.)
