Hao Ren wanted to ask Raven 12345 if there was anyone else on Earth who was not affected by the anomaly. Little did he expect that the goddess had already arranged everything before he asked. The people brought by the arcane servant were all familiar faces to Hao Ren, including the demon hunters Hasse and White Flame, as well as the otherworldlings Hesperides and Hessiana. Judging from their expressions, they were obviously in a daze.
But Hao Ren felt that there should be more people who were not affected by the anomaly.
"Don't worry, everyone else has been arranged," Raven 12345 said without waiting for Hao Ren to speak. The goddess seemed to have the ability to see into people's hearts. "In fact, there are many people who have noticed the anomaly. In addition to those who have been affected by my power and can sense the anomaly in space and time, those who are exceptionally sensitive or have particularly developed minds can also sense that the state of the whole world is not right. Because the sovereign hub's security system is automatically activated, there is no precise human scanning, so these people are stuck between the real Earth and the mirror Earth. Except for a few guys who can be of use, I have temporarily 'frozen' these people. When the situation calms down, they will naturally return to their original state. "
The "guys who can be of use" she was referring to were obviously the few people on the platform.
Hao Ren was usually at loggerheads with his boss, but this time, he had to thank him for the arrangement. "You're really good at cleaning up a mess like this …" he said in awe.
Raven 12345 puffed up her chest proudly and said, "Of course. My ability to create a mess is well-known throughout the multiverse. If I didn't have the ability to clean up the mess, I would have been beaten to death by my superior."
Hao Ren was speechless.
This wasn't something to be proud of at all, okay!!
At this time, Hessiana and the others had already seen Hao Ren and his entourage on the platform. These people saw the anomaly as soon as they opened their eyes, and before they knew what was going on, they were brought to this place. As if grasping a life-saving straw, all of them rushed over to ask about the situation. Hessiana was the most agitated one among them. "Hao Ren! What the hell is going on? When I went out today, I ran into a World War II German infantry regiment. I almost had a heart attack! I thought I had robbed too much of Hitler's stuff, and the vengeful spirits were coming for me! "
Hao Ren knew that Vivian and her smurf contributed a lot to the victory of the Allies in World War II. His heart sank when he thought of Vivian. So, he interrupted Little Bat and said, "Be quiet and listen to me."
After omitting the technical details, Hao Ren tried his best to explain the situation in an easy-to-understand way. The four of them were not stupid. Even if the mutation caused by Vivian sounded complicated and bizarre, it was not a problem for them to understand it.
"Lady Vivian dragged the entire Earth into her memory?" Hessiana's understanding of the whole process was not quite right, but it was not a big mistake. "And you want to get her back?"
"That's basically the process, but I don't know how to do it. I'm waiting for the goddess to explain it to me." Hao Ren pointed his chin at Raven 12345, who was standing far away. "She said that you guys can help."
Hessiana stared at Hao Ren. "How could something like this happen when Lady Vivian is with you? Didn't you watch out for her? "
Hao Ren was not happy, but he could not defend himself when he heard what Hessiana said. He knew how important Vivian was to Hessiana. Now that Vivian was missing, it was understandable that Hessiana would say something like that.
But Hessiana's rationality was a little beyond imagination. After venting her anger, she forced herself to calm down. "Forget it. Even you can't guard against this kind of thing. Let me ask you something, and you have to answer me seriously."
Hao Ren did not know what the girl was thinking. He looked at her curiously. "What is it?"
"Is the nature of this incident very bad?" Hessiana asked while carefully peeking at Raven 12345, who was standing in the center of the platform and fiddling with the magic runes. Raven 12345 did not seem to care about what was going on here. "I saw that even the goddess has been frowning."
"She is worried about her year-end bonus, although she has not received it since she took office."
Hessiana felt that she could not keep up with the pace, so she gave up. "... Will Lady Vivian be blamed? After you get her back, does she have to bear the responsibility? Someone has to take responsibility for such a big thing, right? "
It was a tough question, but Hao Ren had already made up his mind. "In any case, it is necessary to get Vivian back. As for responsibility … I personally don't think it should be anyone's responsibility. Vivian didn't know anything during the whole process. She didn't release her power on her own initiative. If you want to find someone responsible, it can only be the Mad Lord or some dark hand in the Plane of Dreams. Of course, if Vivian is to be blamed, I will do my best to fight for what is right. I believe that with our God's temperament, she won't let anyone take the blame for her actions. "
"Didn't you just say that the goddess is worried about her year-end bonus? Won't she get angry? "
Hao Ren cursed in his heart. He could not believe that the goddess's moral problem had been so deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even Hessiana, who had little contact with the divine realm, could say such things. But when he thought about it, it seemed that the negative image of Raven 12345 was spread through his mouth. He had to wipe away the cold sweat that did not exist. "Ahem, don't worry. She still has some moral integrity. Probably — "
While the two were secretly talking about the disrespectful content, Raven 12345's voice suddenly woke them up. "I say, are you guys done whispering? If you are, come over here. It's time for me to tell you about the process of the mission. "
Hao Ren and Hessiana immediately rushed over to listen to the holy teaching with a serious look on their faces.
"First of all, I want to emphasize that the key to bringing Vivian out is to let her 'find herself,'" Raven 12345 glanced at everyone. "She is now in a state of 'self-collapse.' The increasingly strong resonance of the Malevolence and the imbalance between divinity and the power of corruption have caused her to completely lose control of herself, causing the information she carries to overflow and pollute the real world. So as long as she can regain control of herself, the problem will be solved. Thanks to the resonance between the Malevolence, every fragment of the 'divine avatar' is connected. So now Vivian is approaching a 'complete' body, but her own consciousness is sleeping deep inside, which makes her a 'pollution source' that constantly releases energy but has no control system. "
Speaking of this, Raven's eyes fell on Hao Ren. "Hao Ren, I will send you to Mirror Earth No. 2, which is being severely polluted. The erosion on Mirror Earth No. 2 is many times worse than what you saw in Mirror Earth No. 1. The space and time there have been completely cut off, and 99% of the real world of the 21st century that you know has disappeared. You must trace back to the coordinates of 10,000 years ago in the fragmented historical track until you find Vivian, who first arrived on Earth. In theory, that is your goal."
"In theory?" Hao Ren did not expect Raven 12345 to give such an inaccurate term. He could not help but repeat it.
"Yes, in theory," Raven 12345 nodded. "Because the real 'landing point' of Vivian is not on Earth, but on Inferno. She completed the first division there. But the scope of your backtracking is limited to the historical line on Earth, so you can't do anything about a small part of Inferno's history. But according to my calculations, even without this part of history, it will be enough if you can find Vivian, who first arrived on Earth, and reorganize her self-consciousness. "
"Well, I understand." Hao Ren nodded. "But how do I 'wake' her up? Do I go up to her and say hello? And how do I 'backtrack'? It sounds a little vague … "
"The space-time distortion is based on Vivian's' memory break point ', and the memory break point is usually when she wakes up from her slumber. So the first step after you go there is to find Vivian's sleeping place. She usually doesn't go too far when she wakes up. However, the 'memory break point' was not necessarily the exact coordinates. Sometimes, the continuity of time and space would suddenly be interrupted before Vivian went to sleep, and sometimes she would be interrupted while she was sleeping. Therefore, you might encounter Vivian who was awake, crazy, or even more likely to encounter Vivian who was sleeping. As for how to wake them up after you find them … I'm not sure. "
Hao Ren was listening attentively, but his eyes suddenly widened. "Not sure?! You're letting me in just because you're not sure? "
"I can only say that there should be progress after you see her." Raven 12345 spread her hands. "After all, this is the first time I've encountered this. If I'm not wrong, as long as she sees you, she will regain her memory of the real space-time. Because in the severely distorted Mirror Earth No. 2, you are the only 'foreign object'. Your appearance should be a great shock to Vivian, the source of the distortion. This shock should be enough to wake her up."
"What if she doesn't wake up?"
"… Then fight with her. Maybe it will work."
"…"
"In short, you have to find each node one by one. It's like traveling through history and meeting Vivian in different periods. You have to wake them up and get them out of that historical dream. Every time they get out, a part of the distorted space-time will return to its original position, and the power of this' reset 'will push you to the next node. Considering that the historical Vivian will be very different from the one you know, I need someone who is familiar with her to explain to you the key points of dealing with the 'old Vivian' … "
Before Raven 12345's voice trailed off, Hesperides and Hessiana had already reacted. The two nodded thoughtfully. Hesperides said, "So this is why you called us here?"
"Yes, you two know Vivian best, including what she was like in the past." Raven 12345 glanced at the two. "In order to maintain the stability of the 'sandbox environment', Hao Ren must go to those distorted historical space-time alone. Even the MDT cannot go with him. So he will be isolated and helpless there. The information and guidance you provide are the most important thing for him to rely on."
So that was what they were here for.
With this in mind, Hao Ren looked at Hessiana and the others expectantly. After a few seconds, Hessiana told Hao Ren the first important point.
"If you meet a sober Vivian, the first step to building a good relationship with her is to treat her to a meal. If possible, throw money at her …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
