After discovering what Lily was writing, everyone in the family expressed great shock. However, Lily herself did not feel the slightest bit self-conscious. She even felt that they were making a fuss about nothing. In fact, Lily had never hidden her manuscript from the beginning. It was just that the family rarely looked at her when she was writing. There was no other reason other than they did not think that there was anything interesting about an article written by a husky.
Now Hao Ren knew that the dog was not stupid. It was just that when she was using her brain, no one else would notice it …
But when he thought of his adventures being turned into a fantasy novel by a husky, and it was said that the novel was very popular on a certain platform, Hao Ren always felt weird. What was even weirder was that the husky used the royalties to pay the rent, occupying the moral high ground among a group of freeloaders for a long time. Who was he supposed to reason with?
Hao Ren struggled for a long time, but in the end, he did not come up with anything. Anyway, he could not stop Lily from writing. And to be fair, after reading Lily's article, he really found that the straight-A student who had graduated from Peking University four times was indeed different. Although she was not good at writing, she was still good at writing. If she were to write those stories by herself, it would be a bit difficult to sell the waste paper. So, after all, this was a way that only a literary and artistic young woman could master. Looking back, it was actually good that someone could record those stories and act them out, although the protagonist was changed to a husky, and the subject matter was a fantasy novel.
It was already evening when they got home. Amid the hustle and bustle, the house gradually returned to silence. Looking from the outside, only Lily's room was still lit. She was going to work through the night. It seemed that the consequences of not updating for two months were serious.
Hao Ren wanted to sort out the mission report, but when he looked at the time, he decided to postpone it until the next day. He had just completed an epic mission, and he was exhausted. It was inevitable that he wanted to give himself a break. So, after washing up, he went back to his room to sleep.
But it was not a good night's sleep.
All kinds of strange dreams came one after another. Hao Ren seemed to see the early memories in Lockmarton's soul fragment again. Then, the light and shadow changed, and he saw the scene of the Goddess of Creation launching the Seed of Origin from the Star of Creation. His eyes seemed to be tied to the "seeds" flying into the deep space, following them across the cold universe, across the stars, and then taking root on a strange planet, hatching the First Born, creating the first Blood Tide, reproducing life, observing the stars, and sending various signals to the Goddess of Creation. Then, the scene changed again. The sky was dark, and an indescribable dark shadow came down. This shadow spanned across the entire galaxy, and there was a beating red core in the shadow. He saw a goddess holding two long black swords rushing towards the shadow, and her body enlarged almost as big as the galaxy. He saw the Goddess and the shadow being swallowed by the explosion. The primordial energy of the universe flattened everything. The two figures in the center of the explosion entangled and melted. Slowly, there was nothing left except a mass of dark red floating in the darkness. After a while, he heard the sound of rushing water. Hao Ren felt like he was standing by a river. The river was flowing fast, and water splashed from time to time, hitting his face. It was cold.
The cold feeling became more and more real. Hao Ren woke up with a start and realized that there were indeed water droplets on his face.
He propped himself up and saw Lil Pea poking her head out of the water basin on the table next to him. The little mermaid's hair was wet and clung to her body. Her beautiful eyes shone under the moonlight in the dark. Her tail had just landed, making a splashing sound.
"Lil Pea, sleep well." Hao Ren thought the baby mermaid was up in the middle of the night, so he said casually.
"Lil Pea is sleeping well!" The little mermaid stirred the water. "But Daddy is talking in his sleep!"
"Me? Talking in my sleep? "Hao Ren was stunned." What did I say? "
"I don't know. It doesn't sound like a human," the baby mermaid said honestly.
"It doesn't sound like a human …" Hao Ren's expression was a little strange, but he knew that the little mermaid did not mean any harm. He must have been talking in his sleep and could not hear her clearly. What surprised him was that not only did he have a lot of dreams this time, but he also talked in his sleep. Since he became an inspector and received body enhancement, his control over his body was not the same as before. Talking in his sleep was really rare.
After waking up a little, Hao Ren shook his head and lost interest in sleeping.
He gently pressed the little mermaid's head and let her go back to sleep. Then he put on a coat and tiptoed out of the room.
The living room was dark, and only the dim moonlight shone in, bringing a little bit of light to the room. At the other end of the living room, under Lily's door, he could vaguely see the light. Occasionally, he heard the sound of typing on the keyboard. Hao Ren smiled and shook his head.
It was rare to see the husky so diligent.
Not wanting to disturb others, Hao Ren did not linger in the living room. Instead, he quietly opened the back door and came to the open space behind the house.
In the deep winter, the wilderness behind the house was bleak. All the vegetation had withered, leaving only bare land and dark mountains in the distance. The cold moonlight shone on the ground, giving the illusion of frost and snow.
Hao Ren wanted to stand outside for a while and then go back. But before long, he suddenly heard a flapping sound in the night sky.
The undisguised sound was particularly abrupt in the silent night.
Hao Ren looked up and saw a group of small black dots rapidly enlarging in the glow of the crescent moon. Soon, they became a swarm of black bats. The bats flew to the open space behind the house, circled twice, and finally condensed into the figure of Vivian.
"You just came back from a 'walk'?" Hao Ren waved at Vivian.
"I flew around nearby." Vivian floated to Hao Ren like a weightless cloud. "What are you doing? Are you in a bad mood? Did you have a strange dream again? "
Hao Ren was just thinking about how to explain that he did not sleep in the middle of the night when he heard Vivian's concerned question. He could not help but be startled. He did not expect Vivian to know him so well.
"Yes, I did have a dream again." Hao Ren nodded. "I couldn't sleep."
"You're under a lot of pressure." Vivian looked into Hao Ren's eyes. "Don't lie, I can see it. I have lived for 10,000 years, I'm not living like a dog like Lily."
Looking at Vivian's scarlet eyes, Hao Ren finally decided not to be perfunctory. He nodded and looked a little depressed. "You can see it. The truth I found in Collow this time has touched me a lot. I'm afraid the strange dream just now has something to do with it."
"Is it because you suddenly know that the goddess of creation may be the initiator of the deicidal plan? Or because the Mad Lord may be more difficult to deal with than expected? "
"Both," Hao Ren nodded. "But more of a subversion. Many of my previous inferences have been subverted. It makes me feel that things are a little out of control. You know, I don't like things that are out of control. "
"In my opinion, the goddess of creation's plan went out of control from the beginning. When she decided to seal the Mad Lord with memory isolation, it went out of control." Vivian sighed. Although she knew that Hao Ren was talking about another aspect of losing control, she still brought the topic back to the goddess of creation. "I think she never succeeded in sealing those memories. Although she did not realize it, those memories have been affecting her."
Hao Ren looked at Vivian curiously. "What do you see?"
"The wardens of Collow and the guardian giants outside look very similar in other aspects, except for the 'material'. The crystal disc of Collow is obviously the front of the Gilded Disc, and the engine of the Ark of the Sacred Covenant looks like the original version of the Creation's Engine. If the goddess of creation had completely sealed her memory, how did she create those second-generation things? So I think all the memories about the last era have always been hidden in her subconscious, and these 'subconscious' that has not been cleared away is probably the culprit that caused the situation to deteriorate. "
Vivian spoke her thoughts one by one. Her blood-red eyes were full of seriousness. Obviously, she had been thinking about these things seriously.
"I didn't expect you to think so much." Hao Ren said sincerely.
Vivian smiled. "So what I want to tell you is that you're not the only one facing these things. At least I'll bear it with you."
Then, as if she wanted to change the subject, she added, "In fact, even the muddle-headed Doggie would sometimes talk to me about The Plane of Dreams. But her opinions are usually not referential... They all come from her divergent thinking as a novelist."
Hao Ren smiled. "Lily thinks about these things? I really didn't expect that. "
"She thinks about many things." Vivian pursed her lips. "It's just that we normal people can't understand most of her thoughts."
Hao Ren wondered if there were normal 'people' in this big house. Hao Ren thought about it and did not say it out loud. He just nodded at Vivian seriously. "Thank you. I am much more relaxed now. Don't worry, I have seen a lot of things. I won't be intimidated by this little trouble. "
"Now that you are relaxed, go back to sleep." Vivian blinked, and her eyes returned to the black of a human. "Do you need me to hypnotize you?"
Hao Ren was amused. "Have you forgotten that your blood magic doesn't work on me?"
Vivian raised her fist and shook it. A sly smile appeared on her face. "Kinetic hypnosis."
Hao Ren was speechless.
