On the Moonlight Grassland, which had been frozen in time and space, the grayish-white moonlight shone on the broken land that was only a few hundred meters in circumference. Boundless darkness lingered in the surroundings, making this small piece of land look like the only island floating in the dark sea of chaos. Vivian, who had just woken up, hugged her knees and sat on the grass with a calm expression on her face.
"I had a very, very long dream," she said. "I dreamed that I became super, super, super, super rich, and lived in a very large castle. The castle was decorated magnificently, and I had many, many treasure rooms filled with gold, silver, and jewelry that I could not finish using. I also had two very beautiful large gardens, and the artistic sculptures in the gardens could fill the Louvre several times over … Sigh."
Lily rolled her eyes. "That's right, that's right. You were dreaming."
Vivian sighed again. "So, the outside world is in chaos?"
During the conversation, she had "once again" heard what happened from Hao Ren. She also knew that Hao Ren had worked hard to save the situation, and she also knew that Hao Ren had successfully "awakened" her once. Unfortunately, the Vivian who was awakened in the Siberian snowfield had entered the deepest part of this distorted space and time. The current Vivian who was awakened at this point in time did not have the memory of that time.
"Chaos is not enough to describe it," Hao Ren shrugged. "I don't know how long the sandbox system can last, but I have to find you from different periods of history as soon as possible. So far, I have only gone back 600 years … Compared to the entire 10,000 years of history, this is just the first step."
"I believe that you can go on." Vivian smiled at Hao Ren and nodded firmly.
There was no overly courteous thank you, no unnecessary encouragement, and no other emotions. Vivian just believed that Hao Ren could achieve this feat, so she said it naturally.
Then she looked at Lily. "Doggie, I didn't expect you to help me so wholeheartedly."
"Hey, can't I come to your messy memory space to digest my food when I'm full?" The husky maiden turned her head away, her tail wagging behind her. "That's why people say that old people are useless. Look at you, you almost got yourself killed in a dream, and I, the wise and mighty, had to come in and save you. You owe me a big favor when we get out of here. Let me tell you, you may not be able to return this favor even if you cook me braised pork ribs for the rest of your life … "
"Okay, okay. Braised pork ribs, I will let you eat until you throw up." Vivian laughed. She then got to her feet and came up to Hessiana, who was still in a 'frozen' state. She glanced at Hessiana and Hasse, and finally at Baptiste, who was still expressionless. "I miss the little girl and Hasse 600 years ago. If I am not mistaken, when I officially 'return,' the two of them will be able to 'enter' through that loophole? "
"Strictly speaking, it is a projection of consciousness into their historical bodies. It is not a full entry." Hao Ren shrugged. "These guys are watching the show and playing mahjong outside. I will feel sorry for the free mahjong tiles provided by Raven 12345 if I don't make use of them."
"You better think about how to explain the big bump on Hasse's head." Vivian grinned and looked at Baptiste.
"This human Magus … I really didn't expect him to be involved in the chaos 600 years ago. I don't have any impression of him at all."
Hao Ren could not help but ask curiously, "I wanted to ask you, how did Baptiste wake you up and lure you here? Shouldn't you be sleeping in the graveyard? How did the one sleeping here become the Malevolence? "
"Baptiste must have come with the purpose of waking me up from the beginning," Vivian said. "As for why I am not in the graveyard, and a Malevolence has taken over my place … Well, that's …"
Seeing the awkward look on Vivian's face, Hao Ren's curiosity was piqued. "What happened?"
"I was probably sleepwalking," Vivian said.
Hao Ren and Lily were speechless.
"I knew you would have this reaction," Vivian said, blushing. "It's just sleepwalking, it's just sleepwalking, okay? It's not a big deal! "
"But you are definitely the first person to sleepwalk in your own dream world." Hao Ren looked at Vivian incredulously. "Next time, I will try to find you directly in the real world. I will never have to deal with your Shadowy Realm again. The space you create in your sleep is like an ancient mystical realm!"
Had it not been for the Malevolence, Hao Ren would not have gone into the Shadowy Realm to confront Vivian's Dream Guards head-on. Hao Ren would have cracked the Shadowy Realm like he did in Siberia.
"Don't worry. Most of the time, it will not be as troublesome to wake me up. Even in the 10,000 years of history, it is rare for me to hibernate to this extent." Vivian smiled a little awkwardly. She then changed the topic. "I really can't remember the farce 600 years ago, especially the part about Baptiste and the Malevolence. I have no recollection of it."
"You have forgotten about it again." Lily crossed her arms and squinted at the ancient vampire. "So many demon hunters have helped you kill the Malevolence, and you have Baptiste as your lackey. But you have forgotten about it. Age has really affected your memory."
Vivian rolled her eyes at the husky maiden. "Nothing good comes out of a filthy mouth."
Vivian then sighed. "But you are right. I have forgotten again. After all, people are usually confused when they wake up. Most of the things that happened at this stage are not clear."
Hao Ren was a little curious. "I wonder what happened on this day in the 'real history' where Lily and I did not intervene."
"Then you can only ask Hessiana or Hasse," Vivian said with a smile. "After all, my memory has always been unreliable."
Vivian's figure gradually became illusory.
"Ah, it is time for me to leave." Vivian looked down at her translucent hands. "Can we only talk for such a short time? It seems that this' sandbox 'system is really not stable. "
"We can meet again in the next era." Hao Ren looked into Vivian's eyes.
"Of course," Vivian smiled and waved at Hao Ren and Lily. "Then we will meet again in the next era."
As her voice trailed off, Vivian's breath completely disappeared from this space.
"That's it?" Lily scratched her head. "Then what are we going to do, Mr. Landlord?"
Hao Ren smacked his lips. "Based on your previous experience, the two guys should be —"
Before Hao Ren's voice trailed off, he heard Hasse's hissing voice. "Are you two really going to fight?"
Hessiana's voice also followed. "Someone is really good at deception. How could I be so easily fooled six hundred years ago?"
Well, everything was as expected. Hasse and Hessiana had entered the arena.
Hao Ren looked back and saw Hasse grumbling as he walked toward him. The big bumps on the old hunter's head were particularly conspicuous. When he was still an 'enemy', he did not show his concern about these injuries. But now, he did not have to pretend anymore. He carefully touched the bumps on his head. "You two are too unkind. Not only did you fool me, but you also hit me with a bump. You don't have to use so much force."
Hao Ren quickly explained, "Hey, be clear. I admit that I fooled you, but the one who hit you with a bump is Lily. I just hit you once, and you didn't faint."
Lily jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on. "Mr. Landlord, didn't you ask me to hit you?"
Hasse was also indignant. "How dare you say that you didn't knock me out? If you had used a little more strength to knock me out, it would have been easier for me! Do you know how uncomfortable it was in your Dimensional Pocket? I had to rely on the demon hunter's meditation to survive. Ouch, it hurts. "
Lily muttered, "Who asked you to be so stubborn? I was still taking it easy."
Hessiana also came over. She glanced at Hasse and said, "Don't complain. You know the situation. Hao Ren and Lily have no choice. You were a lunatic six hundred years ago. You hated everyone except the demon hunters. There was no other way to get you to join them except for kinetic anesthesia."
"Kinetic anesthesia …" Hasse said.
Hessiana sighed. "Hey, I'm also complaining. Hao Ren, can't you wait a little longer? I'm about to win three times in a row."
Hao Ren was stunned. "What the heck? You guys are still playing mahjong outside?"
"I have nothing to do," Hessiana said with her arms akimbo. "The whole earth is frozen. We can't go back even if we want to. Raven 12345's big house is full of things that we don't understand. Nine out of ten doors are guarded by the Divine Servants. We are so bored that we can only play mahjong all day. Fortunately, the flow of time here is faster than the flow of time in the real world. Even if you spend a month here, only two or three days will pass in the outside world. Otherwise, we would have died of boredom waiting outside. "
"… I'm saving the world and you, Lady Vivian," Hao Ren said. "Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
Hessiana spread out her hands. "So I'm here to help, aren't I?"
Hao Ren opened his mouth. He suddenly realized that he had nothing better to do than to argue with the naughty child. So he quickly changed the topic. "Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the current situation. By the way, I'm curious about one thing. In the 'real history,' where Lily and I did not intervene, how did you two solve this farce 600 years ago? "
Hao Ren was simply curious. No matter how he looked at it, what happened here 600 years ago was not a small matter. A Malevolence, Vivian, was about to wake up, a Hunter Group led by an elder demon hunter, a mischievous Little Bat, a wizard with ulterior motives, and a group of witches who did not know what was going on. With so many people gathered together, it would be a shame if something big did not happen.
"600 years ago," Hessiana said with a conflicted look on her face. "To be honest, if I did not have this opportunity to go back in history, I would have forgotten that I almost died in the hands of the demon hunters 600 years ago."
"But she still ran away at the critical moment," Hasse said. "I did lead the team at that time, but just as we were about to attack Hessiana, the 'unknown vampire,' Vivian's seal suddenly broke, and her Malevolence escaped."
Hessiana twitched her mouth. "Then all the demon hunters had to deal with the Malevolence, and I took the opportunity to escape."
"We did not find out that it was a Malevolence in the end," Hasse said with a helpless smile. "My Hunter Group suffered heavy losses. In the end, it was not us who killed or repelled the Malevolence, but the Malevolence suddenly lost interest in us. She left us, and we survived."
"As for the witches and Baptiste, they hardly had any contact with me," Hessiana said. "After all, in the original history, they did not have strong reinforcements like you and Lily, so they did not have many opportunities to be active. But one thing is for sure, Baptiste is very capable. He must have contacted Vivian in some other way. Otherwise, there is no way to explain how he opened the gate of Inferno. Maybe he played a part in the Malevolence's early escape in the original history. Tsk, to be honest, I admire this guy. As a human wizard, he really did something big. "
"He wanted to find his mentor and lover at all costs, even if he had to get involved in the terrible vortex of the demon hunters and the ancient vampires."
Hao Ren muttered to himself, looking at the wizard who stood like a gray statue not far away.
For some reason, he felt that his journey across thousands of years to find Vivian resonated with the wizard's journey to Purgatory.
"But I won't follow your path."
Hao Ren said in his mind.
