Vivian gently pressed her temples with her fingers and did not speak for a long time. Hasse looked curiously at Hao Ren and then at Vivian. "Can any of you explain to me what happened?"
"It's Vivian's memory and her confusion." Hao Ren did not know if he could tell Hasse some things. "She sometimes falls into a state of confusion, and she has no memory of what happened at that time."
Vivian suddenly looked up at Hao Ren. "Where's my manuscript?"
Since Hao Ren had a convenient and reliable Dimensional Pocket, he kept some important but infrequently used items in the house, including the ancient manuscript that recorded Vivian's more than 10,000 years of experience. Hao Ren found the piece of white cloth with dense symbols in the Dimensional Pocket and unfolded it on a flat boulder nearby. Vivian immediately went over and looked at it carefully.
At this time, the others did not have time to discuss the problem of going back home. Seeing that there was something interesting to watch, they immediately gathered around.
"… The Middle East in the early days of Olympus … Europe after the Age of Olympus … 1426 in Egypt … The time and place match, and every battle." Vivian's fingers moved quickly between the symbols and pictures, and the time and place matched what Hasse said. "What happened before I went into hibernation …"
Lily looked at Vivian worriedly. "Battie, are you having a relapse?"
"No, I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong with me before." Vivian suddenly looked up and turned to Hao Ren. "Are I hallucinating? Or is my mind being controlled by something else? "
The most inexplicable thing about Vivian's hibernation cycle was her "battle record." According to the manuscript, she would fight a group of twisted alien creatures before she went into hibernation. Although Vivian had no memory of it, the record in the manuscript was extraordinarily true. Initially, Hao Ren had always thought that it was just a memory problem, but now the situation had taken a surprising turn.
If what he said was true, then Vivian was actually fighting demon hunters and otherworldlings — oh, and rats.
This fact was just too confusing.
Hao Ren scratched his chin. "No one can tell what happened to you. Hasse, you are a witness. Did Vivian have any abnormalities when she went on a killing spree?"
Hasse still kept a straight face, but if his muscles were not so stiff, he would have been dumbfounded. "Unusual? When she burned down the entire plain with a lightning storm, who would study her expression? I only know that whenever young people question whether the Countess of the Crimson Moon lived up to her name, the elders would always use these historical materials to educate them. Of course, that does not include the rats. "
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at Hasse seriously. Hasse frowned and thought for a long time before nodding. "Of course, those who have dealt with the Countess a few times will definitely feel that something is wrong. She is a pacifist. Although occasionally moody, most of the time she is very gentle and rarely confronts anyone. So every time she went on a killing spree, some people would find it unbelievable, but we all thought that someone had angered her. After all, even a good-tempered person would get angry. But now it seems that there is another truth? "
"Of course there is another truth," Hao Ren shook his head and sighed. "Do you think a sane, high-ranking Blood Clan member would concentrate on fighting a group of rats? And in the end, she lost! "
Vivian looked into Hasse's eyes. "Sorry, it seems that your eye is indeed my responsibility. If there is a chance in the future, I will help you cure it — if you are willing to let an otherworldling help you. "
This time, even the taciturn Teuton and White Flame, who tried to pretend to be in the background, were dumbfounded. Hasse opened his mouth incredulously. "You … are apologizing to me?"
"What are you surprised about? I'm surprised by your magnanimity." Hao Ren pointed to Hasse's eye with a strange expression. "You were poisoned to blind your eye, and you didn't mention it when you met your enemy? Had I not led the conversation here, you would have pretended that it never happened? "
Hasse shrugged and did not say a word. Probably no one knew what he was thinking. These long-lived creatures had a very different worldview from humans. Their views on hatred and memory were incomprehensible to ordinary people. So, Hao Ren always did not know how to discuss similar topics with them.
After talking about the past, Hasse left with the other two demon hunters. Vivian touched her forehead and asked, "Mr. Landlord, what do you think happened to me back then?"
Hao Ren's brows knit together. "You obviously lost your judgment before each hibernation, and the situation was very serious. Ordinary people and animals became monsters in your eyes. I'm afraid that every battle mentioned in the manuscript is like this. You have no idea how many times you have stirred up other people's mess. "
Lily raised her hand and reminded him, "And the rats!"
Vivian covered her face. "Can we not talk about the rats? At least, except for the rats, I won against everyone! "
Hao Ren waved his hand. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the rats. Anyway, now I finally understand how Vivian got your fame. I thought it was simply because of seniority. "
Vivian's face was bitter. "I didn't think about this at all. I also thought that so many families were afraid of me because I was older than them. Who knew that I had beaten them up? Now I feel so sorry. "
Y 'zaks had roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter. He asked in a muffled voice, "Honestly, no one has pointed this out to you for so many years? Don't you have a few friends? "
"I have friends, but not much communication, and even less contact with others." Vivian shook her head. "More importantly, the otherworldlings have been fighting all year round. It is almost normal for them to form temporary alliances and turn against each other. In such a chaotic situation, someone suddenly flipped the table with someone else would hardly cause much of a stir. Even if the person flipped the table was an ancient one. Of course, someone might have mentioned this to me, but I forgot. "
Hao Ren slapped his forehead. He felt that the last sentence was the truth.
He put away the manuscript, looked at the setting sun, and sighed slightly. "Let's go back first. There are no more clues in this matter, and it will only add to our troubles if we continue to pursue it. We have enough headaches now."
Their next step was to go to the Plane of Dreams to find the whereabouts of the sirens' homeworld, Io. But before that, they had to be prepared. Considering that a brain monster had come to this world through the spatial rift, Hao Ren suspected that there were more of those monsters gathered on Io. Perhaps they had gathered an army near the rift, waiting for their compatriots who had crossed over a hundred years ago to open the door to the Surface World. He had to be prepared in advance.
If there was really an army there, then it would not just be a vortex that they had to blow up. They might even need to request a higher level of armed support to deal with it.
After returning home, Hao Ren immediately wrote a report of the incident in Nasaton and submitted it to Raven 12345. He then checked the armed status of the Petrachelys. At the same time, he also sent the MDT to New Aerym to replenish his regular arsenal.
Since there were three more sirens who wanted to hitch a ride with them, the room in the house that was already stretched to the limit was immediately not enough. After forcing the sirens and Nangong Wuyue to stay together for one night, Hao Ren directly brought everyone to Andrea Castle.
But this time he left the dumb cat to look after the house.
"Big Boss Cat, are you really not going to bring me along?" The cat girl squatted in front of the teleporter and looked at Hao Ren pitifully. Her tail and ears drooped listlessly. "I was very obedient last time."
Hao Ren believed that. The cat girl had performed well the last time they went to Nasaton. She was obedient and fought bravely. She did not do anything like tasting the mermaids (in fact, this was what Hao Ren was most worried about). But this time, no matter what, he did not plan to bring the cat to Io. The reason was simple. Compared to Nasaton which only had one city and the situation was more or less controllable, Io was a more dangerous place.
The cat was far from being able to handle that kind of incident.
Not only the dumb cat had to stay, but Lil Pea also had to stay in a safe house. In order to take care of these two fellows, Y 'lisabet also had to stay. While the little demon was just a child, she had more or less commanded a city when Y' zaks was not around. Sometimes, she was more reliable than other adults.
"You stay and look after the house. Take care of Lil Pea." Nangong Wuyue bent down and patted Rollie on the head. "As long as you listen to Y 'lisabet, we will often take you out to play."
Hao Ren also came up and ruffled the cat girl's ears. "Haven't you already learned how to make your own rice? This time, try to learn how to wash dishes and wipe tables from Y 'lisabet. When you come back, I want to confirm your results with Y' lisabet. If you learn well, I will let you eat grilled fish for a week. "
The demon girl immediately patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, Uncle Ren. I'm reliable! Remember to bring me some interesting machine parts from Io. Aww ~ ~ "
The cat girl looked at Hao Ren's face and found that her master was determined. She could only nod dejectedly. She then turned to Nangong Wuyue and made her last request. "Then turn into a fish tail and let me lick it. After that, I will stay at home."
Nangong Wuyue was speechless.
Hao Ren looked away. "Just let her lick it."
Nangong Wuyue looked up and sighed. "What kind of family is this!"
