Vivian seemed to have gone missing.
Hao Ren quickly found Vivian's mobile phone on the bedside table in the basement room. As the first high-tech communication tool Vivian could afford, the mobile phone had always been treated like a treasure by her. Even when she turned into a bat, she would use magic to transform the mobile phone into a different form and carry it with her. The fact that the mobile phone was left on the bedside table and Vivian was nowhere to be seen was enough to prove that the incident was very strange.
Lily, Lorissa, and Nangong Sanba quickly searched around the house, but even with the werewolf's (husky's) tracking skills and the demon hunter's tracking spells, they could not find any trace of Vivian. Vivian seemed to have disappeared directly in the basement.
"No, I've searched everywhere, but I can't find any traces of bats." Lily seemed to be anxious after a long search. As soon as she got home, she shouted, "And there are all kinds of things outside. Even the terrain and roads have changed. If it weren't for my sharp nose, I'm afraid I would have lost my way!"
"Did it just disappear into thin air in the basement?" Hao Ren felt his heart sinking. "This is the domain of a god … That's right! God's protection! With such a big movement on Earth, Raven 12345 should have some reaction, right? "
With this in mind, Hao Ren immediately tried to contact Raven 12345. However, there was still no response from the divine realm, not even the annoying automatic reply.
Lily looked at Hao Ren. Noticing the change in Hao Ren's expression, she could not help but ask, "Mr. Landlord, what's wrong?"
"Communication with the divine realm has been cut off. There seems to be some interference," Hao Ren said, frowning. "This has never happened before."
"The teleportation request to the divine realm has not been answered," the MDT said, floating over. "I have detected that the entire Earth is in a strange state. It is extremely difficult to contact the information stations in the universe. We seem to be in a huge shroud."
Hao Ren frowned. "The entire Earth is in trouble?"
As the situation got out of control, Lily's timid nature was exposed. She looked nervous as she scuttled to Hao Ren. "Mr. Landlord, what should we do? We can't contact the goddess. "
"It's okay. I don't count on her most of the time. Our priority now is not to panic. We must calm down." Hao Ren comforted Lily as he looked around. "I am very worried about Vivian's whereabouts. But the first priority now is to figure out what is happening in this world, or rather, on this planet. Later, I will divide the area. We will split into two groups to investigate separately. Don't miss any details. If anyone encounters an accident outside and is unable to return, such as falling into an illusion, do not wander around. Stay where you are and try to make as much noise as possible. I will find you according to the area that we have divided beforehand. Now that the situation is out of control, we can put the confidentiality bill aside for the time being. "
As he spoke, he glanced out of the window, thinking that with the current situation of the world being filled with demons, even if someone performed a Celestial Flying Immortal in the city center, no one would come to watch it … Speaking of which, with the world having changed to such a state, were the ordinary people on Earth still fine?
Nangong Sanba and Y 'zaks had gone out to check. Although they had just returned in a hurry, they still saw something. According to them, ordinary people in modern clothes could still be seen on the street, but those people were in a very strange state. Hao Ren felt that he had to see it for himself to know how strange it was.
Vivian's "disappearance" made everyone anxious. Even Hao Ren took a while to calm himself down. He was worried about Vivian's condition, but he knew that the only way to find out the cause of the anomaly was to figure out the cause of the anomaly. Perhaps Vivian's disappearance was related to the anomaly outside.
The task of investigating the situation was quickly assigned. Hao Ren asked Rollie to stay at home to look after Lil Pea and prevent Noobie from escaping. He then left with the others.
He and Lily were in the same group. Their main task was to investigate the situation in the Southern Suburbs, while the others went to the city center and the neighboring county. Although Nangong Sanba and Y 'zaks had been to these places before, they were in a hurry. Apart from seeing all kinds of incredible phenomena, they did not investigate the details behind the phenomena in detail. It was far from enough to analyze the information.
After setting off, Hao Ren also released a batch of probes from the Dimensional Pocket. These probes would travel farther than humans could: they would fly to the distance, even to the other side of the planet, to confirm if the entire Earth had undergone the same anomaly.
The once peaceful and peaceful Southern Suburbs had now been turned upside down. It could even be said that it had become a place that Hao Ren did not recognize. When he first left the house, he could still see some familiar streets, but as he continued to walk out, the things in front of him gradually became bizarre and almost illogical.
He saw a triumphal arch standing at the entrance of the Southern Suburbs Primary School. Under the triumphal arch were Great Qin soldiers and Mongolians with machetes.
The place that was supposed to be the Southern Suburbs Market had now become a small desert. The edge of the desert was sharp, as if it was forcibly cut from a map and pieced together on the land. At the end of the desert stood a majestic pyramid. The pyramid and the surrounding open space occupied a very large area, far beyond the size of the market. Obviously, a large number of buildings around the area had been replaced.
He even saw an extremely majestic stone bridge before him. The stone bridge was as large and magnificent as a fantasy building that could only be seen in games. Countless green vines hung down from the stone bridge, and moss spread up the bridge piers for more than ten meters. Around the stone bridge, there was a lush forest and shrubs.
The whole place was a mess.
And he finally saw the existence of "ordinary people."
On a street that barely retained its original appearance, he and Lily saw a few familiar faces. They were the old neighbors of the Southern Suburbs.
A small shop by the street had just opened for business. Old Zhao, the owner of the shop, was laboriously pushing up the old shutter door. Old Wu, the owner of the oil and salt shop next door, was helping Old Zhao. The two of them were chatting as they pushed up the shutter door.
Mr. Zhao shook his head. "This broken door should have been replaced a long time ago."
Mr. Wu wiped his hands. "You said this last year."
"Of course, I also said it the year before last. But my wife refused to let me change it. What else could I do? She said it was better not to waste money if it could still be used. The door was hard to open, and it was perfect to prevent thieves. Thieves were too lazy to open it …"
Beside the two of them stood a few Spartans who were only wearing leather underpants. The two of them ignored each other. It was a very strange scene.
Hao Ren and Lily saw this scene and immediately went forward. They could not help but look at the Spartans who were running naked in the cold wind with strange eyes. They then looked at Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wu, who had a normal expression on their faces, trying to find some clues.
When Mr. Zhao saw Hao Ren, he spoke first. "Hao Ren? Are you here to buy something? Wait a minute, I'm a little late today … "
The wrinkled face of the shop owner was filled with the familiar smile. There was no strange expression on his face.
Even though there was a group of Spartans standing beside him, even though there was a sphinx not far in front of him, even though half of the shop behind him was swallowed by the primitive jungle, and even though a creature that looked like a wild boar was standing on the roof of his shop and howling.
Mr. Zhao turned a blind eye to all of this.
"Uncle Zhao …" Hao Ren kept guessing, but his expression did not change at all. He turned sideways and pointed to the sphinx not far away. "What do you think of this sphinx?"
In an instant, he felt that everything around him was stuck like a rusty gear. Then, with a familiar smile on his face, Mr. Zhao greeted him cheerfully. "Hao Ren? Are you here to buy something? Wait a minute, I'm a little late today … "
Hao Ren looked at the familiar old neighbor again. Behind the lively smile, he saw the stiff and emotionless aura of a puppet. The uncle that he had known for more than 20 years was now like a precise holographic image. Although every strand of hair was exactly the same as a real person, standing face to face, Hao Ren still felt a kind of inorganic incongruity.
Hao Ren quickly left the place with Lily.
"Mr. Landlord … What's going on?" the husky maiden asked, a little scared.
"You're a writer, don't you have any imagination?" Hao Ren did not look back. "Obviously, the real person has been replaced. I'm afraid that except for us, these people have been replaced with something like a projection."
"The ancient people on the street and the ancient buildings …" Lily looked around. A white horse with wings on its ribs was flying low in the air not far away, and a valiant Valkyrie was riding on the back of the horse. "And these guys in the myth …"
"They are also projections, with physical bodies," Hao Ren frowned. "But I don't think they are as simple as projections. Have you noticed that these space-time distortions are getting more and more common, and the 'modern scenes' that should have existed are getting fewer and fewer? When we passed by here just now, there were a few pedestrians in modern clothes on the road, but now there are only a bunch of ancient people and monsters running around. "
Lily shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue. "That Battie, of all times, went missing … Did she do this?"
