Vivian shuddered when she heard the voice outside the antique shop. Without saying a word, she disintegrated into a swarm of tiny bats. Hundreds of tiny bats flew around like headless flies, looking for places to hide. Some burrowed into the corners of the walls, some into the cracks of the door, and some into the spice box behind the counter. Before Hao Ren could react, Vivian had disappeared into the corner of the room. Then, the glass door of the antique shop was violently pushed open, and a short girl ran in happily.
Hao Ren was stunned when he saw the girl. The girl who ran in looked almost identical to Vivian, even the details of her eyes and eyebrows were carved from the same mold. It was impossible to explain them as twins. The only difference between the two was that the girl in front of him was shorter than Vivian, and her hair was shorter. At the same time, the cheerful expression on her face was not something that Vivian usually showed.
She was almost a miniature version of Vivian — one-tenth of the size, and she looked like she had taken the wrong medicine.
Except for Hesperides, who maintained her stiff smile, everyone in the room was stunned. Lily jumped up and said, "So, Vivian has a sister?"
"Who are you?" The miniature version of Vivian who ran in frowned and looked around. "Where is Lady Vivian? I clearly feel that she's nearby … Could it be that she's hiding again? "
"This is Hessiana." Hesperides pointed at the somewhat nervous girl and introduced her to Hao Ren. "Call Vivian out. She won't leave until she sees us."
So, they had to collect Vivian's bats from all corners. Some dug them out from the corners of the wall, and some poured them out from jars. Lily was the quickest to find bats. She had caught at least a hundred bats from all corners. Finally, Hao Ren felt something moving in his clothes. He took out a few bats from his sleeves and trouser pockets. God knows how Vivian got into such a place. After they found a large swarm of bats, they hustled together. Lily waved her broom and shouted, "Come out, big bat! Or I'll pat you! "
The swarm of bats reluctantly wriggled and reformed into Vivian. She smiled awkwardly at Hessiana and said, "Long time no see."
"Lady Vivian, I missed you so much!" Hessiana threw herself into Vivian's arms. Hao Ren swore to Raven 12345 that he heard the crisp sound of bones rubbing against each other. Fortunately, Vivian's physique was extraordinary. Otherwise, her chest would have been flattened. Nangong Wuyue could not help but ask, "Vivian, aren't you going to introduce her to us? Is this your sister? "
Vivian was trying her best to remove Hessiana from her body when Nangong Wuyue interrupted her. She could only twist the miniature version of herself in her arms to get her to leave. "Get out of the way, get out of the way. This is not the place to be crazy. That's why I didn't want to see you, okay? If you don't leave, I'll be really angry. "
Hessiana reluctantly left Vivian's arms and sighed regretfully. "Sigh … I just felt a little bit of home."
She then turned to Hao Ren and the rest, curiously looking at the group of strangers who seemed to be close to Vivian. Her face quickly became serious and she bowed politely. "Nice to meet you. I'm the patriarch of the Hessianite Family, Hessiana Ancestor. Since you're here, it seems that you're people that Lady Vivian and Elder Hesperides trust. I'll skip the pleasantries. I hope you'll have a pleasant stay in this fortress."
The change in Hessiana's style was as if she had switched forms. Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said, "Oh, it's alright. I'm Vivian's friend. You can call me Hao Ren. As for my race, I'm a human. According to your language, I'm a human wizard. And the people next to me are … "
Hao Ren introduced the people around him. The identity that he had arranged for Becky was also a human wizard, which seemed to be quite useful. A moment later, Hessiana looked curiously at Nangong Wuyue, who called herself the Dryland Siren, and asked about the rumors about the siren. Hao Ren seized the opportunity to ask Vivian, "Who is this? Your sister? Sounds like she has the same surname as you. "
"No … her situation is more complicated." Vivian had a very strange expression on her face. "Do you remember what I told you? The bats that I summon will become a living independent life after they get out of my mind control. As long as they can find energy in time, they will never dissipate."
Hao Ren suddenly had a subtle expression on his face. "So this extraordinary woman is …"
"Don't I occasionally forget things?" Vivian covered her face with her hand as if she could not bear to remember. "There was a bat that I let out and forgot about. It took me a thousand years to remember. When I found her, I found that she had already cultivated herself to become a spirit. That's the one." As she said that, she pointed at Hessiana. "Maybe it's because of malnutrition and lack of care when she was a child. She's a little abnormal. She's even more abnormal when she sees me. I've been avoiding her all these years. Of course, it's not all about avoiding her. Sometimes, I really forget … "
Hao Ren could not help but be amazed by Vivian. She was probably the only one in the world who could use 'amnesia' to such a superb level. Furthermore, even a bat that fell from her body could turn into a demon and become the leader of a vampire family. Could it be that apart from being unlucky, everything that was related to Vivian was stronger than her?
At this time, the mutated vampire that split from Vivian had finished chatting with Nangong Wuyue. She looked at the people around her with a strange expression. "Lady Vivian has started to make friends … and I don't know them. Why do I feel like I've been abandoned? "
Vivian quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. You've been abandoned."
Hessiana was speechless.
Lily could not help but pat Vivian on the arm. "Don't be like that. After all, it's a piece of flesh that fell from your body."
"… The way you put it makes me want to bite you."
Hao Ren now realized that although Vivian wandered all over the world, she actually had her own business: Hessiana and the vampire family behind her. If Vivian wanted to find someone to support her, they would definitely come up to Vivian and treat her like an ancestor. Hao Ren was a little curious. "Vivian, so you're not homeless … Why didn't you settle down in Athens like them?"
"I don't like this kind of noisy environment. There are so many families in the same city, worrying about the demon hunters and scheming against each other. People come looking for trouble all the time, be it acquaintances or enemies, it's just annoying." Vivian sighed. "And no matter who I hang out with, I still have bad luck. Sometimes, I can even drag the people around me into bankruptcy. So, I just wander around alone."
Hao Ren was shocked. Vivian's possession was not just a debuff but also a halo effect. Come to think of it, when she was selling spices between Egypt and Rome, she had bankrupted a few of her fellow Blood Clansmen and killed two generations of the Egyptian Dynasty. It did not matter if she was the culprit or not. Hao Ren suddenly broke into a cold sweat. "Wait a minute, then why haven't I gone bankrupt yet? And after signing the contract with the new owner, my income has increased? "
Vivian rolled her eyes at Hao Ren. "It's because you have a powerful backer. Besides, I'm not the Goddess of Misfortune. It's just renting a house, it's not enough to make people go bankrupt. But if your subordinates are a little more powerful, it's hard to say … My luck is very strange. "
Hao Ren felt that he had to study Vivian's luck when he had the chance. He felt that it might be an active skill! In the future, if he did not like anyone, he could just send Vivian over to freeload for a few days. It would probably be twice the result with half the effort …
Hessiana was a little annoyed when she saw Vivian talking to someone else. She pulled the latter's arm to her side. "Lady Vivian, are you here for something? Or are you just here to see me? Oh, I'm embarrassed … "
"I heard that you found a ruin," Vivian went straight to the point. "I'm here for the ruin."
Hessiana suddenly looked disappointed. "Oh, the ruin … Since you've asked, it should not be a problem. But the Lucas Family … This is a little troublesome."
Vivian raised her eyebrows. "Are they still as stubborn as before?"
"There's a new leader, the younger brother of the old leader. He's even funnier than the old one," Hessiana said with a look of disdain. "They're extremely stubborn. They won't cooperate unless there's violence. They won't cooperate even if there's violence."
It seemed that going to the ruin was not going to be easy.
