When the sun shone into the bedroom, Hao Ren was still asleep. Suddenly, a series of shouts from outside the door woke him up. He vaguely heard Lily banging on the door and shouting, "Landlord! Something bad has happened! Landlord, something bad has happened! "
Hao Ren sat up in a daze. Before he could open his eyes, he heard a loud noise coming from not far away. Then he saw two broken pieces of the door flying at him. It was a scene that scared the wits out of him. Hao Ren jumped up with the greatest agility in his life and dodged the first piece of the door. Then, he was slammed by the second piece of the door on the wall.
As the door slid down, Lily pounced on Hao Ren and pressed him against the wall. At the same time, she shouted, "Landlord, something bad has happened!"
Even if Hao Ren was still sleepy, the sudden craziness of the husky had washed over him. He felt blood rushing from his lumbar spine to his brain. He used all his strength to push Lily's head back a little. "What are you doing so early in the morning? Do you know that I'm going to be in big trouble soon? Knock down one-tenth of my Steel Membrane Shield, do you know that? "
Hao Ren was deliberately exaggerating to scare the crazy century-old dog demon. But this time, his tried-and-true trick did not work. Lily was not moved at all. She was still grabbing his arm and pointing out the window. "Landlord! Look outside! "
Hao Ren turned his head and looked out the window. His anger at the husky had been forgotten in an instant. "Holy moly … Someone is finally willing to invest in a theme park in the Southern Suburbs?"
"It's not a theme park!" Lily shouted anxiously. "Everything is in trouble! Everything is in trouble! Big Man and Nangong Sanba just went out and came back with green faces. It's worse in other streets than here! "
Hao Ren's neck was stiff as he turned his head to look at the strange scene outside the window.
A magnificent, ancient Roman-style stone temple stood at the end of the dilapidated street in the Southern Suburbs. If Hao Ren remembered correctly, it should have been the location of the street supermarket. The fat owner of the supermarket finally got his wish and changed his family's old house into a mansion, but the mansion did not look like it was meant for people to live in. Around the Mega Stone Temple, the dilapidated concrete streets were paved with stone slabs. Pedestrians dressed in all kinds of costumes from all over the world, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, shuttled back and forth. Among them, there were also ancient vehicles that seemed to have walked out of history books. There were even all kinds of unknown birds and beasts that flashed by in the corners of the streets. With just a quick glance, Hao Ren could at least distinguish four or five distinctive groups, such as ancient Romans, ancient Egyptians, and ancient Persians. He even saw a group of Ming Dynasty soldiers in bright armor running down the street, and among them were two bare-chested Vikings wielding axes.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and looked further away.
He saw a pyramid standing in the direction of the Southern Suburbs market. Above the pyramid, he could vaguely see a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. Two huge flying creatures that looked like pterodactyls swooped down from the mountain, letting out ear-piercing screeches. On the backs of the two strange creatures, there were also heroic and extraordinary warriors in the style of ancient Greece. But obviously, they were not ancient Greeks.
The ancient Greeks should not have been three or four meters tall.
"Mr. Landlord, did you see it?" Lily's weak voice came from behind, and Hao Ren finally came back to his senses. "The world has turned upside down."
"I saw it, I saw it …" As he spoke, Hao Ren blinked hard and quickly calmed himself down. After all, he was no longer a rookie who would make a fuss when he saw a flying PDA. The visual impact of what was happening in front of him was far less exaggerated than some of the things he had seen before. He was shocked completely because he was not mentally prepared. After all, even with his imagination and ability to accept things, he never thought that he would wake up and see such a strange scene on Earth. But now, the surprise gradually subsided, and he only had a calm attitude when he was thinking.
"When did this phenomenon appear?" After calming down, he began to ask Lily about the specific situation.
"I don't know," Lily shook her head. "When I woke up, it was like this outside. I asked the others, and it was the same when they woke up."
"That is to say, the abnormality outside happened last night, and it was silent. No one noticed it," Hao Ren frowned and nodded. "You just said that Nangong Sanba and Wang have gone out to investigate?"
Lily nodded vigorously. "Yes, they went out to investigate when they saw that something was wrong, and then they found that everything seemed to have changed. At least, when they went to the city and the neighboring city, they saw this kind of abnormal scene."
"Is it a phantom or something else?"
"It's not a phantom!" Lily shook her head immediately. She then took out a gadget and handed it to Hao Ren. "This is what Nangong Sanba brought back from the outside."
Hao Ren took it and found that it was not a very delicate silver coin. With his shallow knowledge of history and cultural relics, he could not see the origin of this silver coin at all. He could only conclude that it was definitely not from China.
"What is this?" he looked up and asked.
"A silver coin from the ancient Persian period," Lily blinked. "Nangong Sanba found it on a Persian soldier who died on the side of the road. The soldier was killed by an ancient Egyptian."
"… That's messy …" Hao Ren said.
"Mr. Landlord, what do you think is going on?" Lily grabbed Hao Ren's arm and shook it. Her tail was stiff because of nervousness. "Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen on Earth … This is a safe zone!"
"Earth is just relatively peaceful, but since I know that the God of this universe is a psychopath, I have been mentally prepared for everything," Hao Ren joked to make Lily relax. At the same time, he grabbed his coat by the bed. "Err … Lily, you go out first. I'll change out of my pajamas. By the way, take Lil Pea out. She's awake. "
After changing, he went directly to the living room. As expected, everyone was already there, sitting around the coffee table. Even the Nangong couple had rushed over. The lineup was quite neat — except for Vivian.
"Where's Vivian?" Hao Ren asked, frowning. Vivian's absence was a rare phenomenon.
"I don't know where she went," Nangong Wuyue answered. "I haven't seen her since early in the morning, and there's no sign that the pots and pans in the kitchen have been touched."
Hao Ren was startled. "Nothing in the kitchen has been touched?"
He instantly felt that something was wrong. For Vivian, the kitchen was almost her inherent territory in the house. One of her most important things every day was to go to the kitchen on time to prepare meals for the family. No matter what happened, as long as she was at home, she would never delay doing it.
Could it be that she was too concerned after seeing the changes outside, so she put aside the housework and flew out to investigate?
Hao Ren quickly threw the conjecture to the back of his mind because it was not in line with Vivian's character. She was a very meticulous and detail-oriented person. Even if there was such an emergency, she would not leave everyone alone. At least, she would leave a note or something.
"Have you looked carefully?" Hao Ren turned to look at Lily. "I mean, with my nose."
Lily scratched her face. "I have. After all, the first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to see what Vivian cooks. Her scent is from yesterday, and there's no trace of her going out at the door. But if she flew out through the skylight, there's nothing I can do. I can't smell her. "
The feeling of unease grew stronger, and it made Hao Ren feel that Vivian's disappearance had something to do with the changes outside. Although it was still a little too early to say that Vivian had disappeared, the series of unusual circumstances made him worry.
Even if she really went out to investigate, looking at the strange situation outside, it was enough to worry him that she went out alone for so long.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go check the basement."
Vivian's room didn't look any different.
Except for the unfolded quilt.
"Vivian wouldn't do that." Hao Ren glanced at the unmade bed. "Getting up early to make the quilt is the first thing she does."
"I never make the quilt," Lily said matter-of-factly with her eyes wide open.
"Nonsense, your room is called a doghouse." Hao Ren glared at Lily and bent down to check Vivian's bed. "She didn't make it. She must have suddenly left after resting on the bed. But I don't see any signs of a fight, and the alarm system around the house didn't respond. So, we can rule out the possibility of someone forcibly taking her away …"
Hao Ren did not believe that anyone on this planet could kidnap Vivian quietly. Even though the latter had been weakening, she was still one of the most powerful creatures on Earth. No one could easily take her away without leaving a trace. Even without considering this, the big house was also equipped with a variety of alarm systems. These were advanced gadgets created by the Xiling Empire. Each alarm system was directly connected to the thinking core of the MDT and Hao Ren's own mind. With these things, even a demigod could not sneak into the house.
So, Vivian left on her own.
"Did she just disappear into thin air?" Lily scratched her face and muttered.
