Hao Ren did not expect to get so much information from the giant. At first, the giant's attitude even made him feel that he was a stubborn guy. But somehow, he managed to get everything out of him. Perhaps the reason was that the giant was willing to answer all the questions that he and his friends had. Hao Ren believed that if he had rashly asked the giant about the goddess' power and the whereabouts of her legacy, the negotiation would have fallen apart.
It was precisely because all his questions were about investigating the truth of the incident that the giant was so cooperative and trusting.
"Thank you for your patience, really." Hao Ren thought for a moment and found that he could not think of any more questions at the moment. So he nodded sincerely to the giant and thanked him. "I thought you would never cooperate at first."
"I still don't trust you," the giant looked indifferent, but after some conversation, he no longer showed obvious hostility. "But this does not affect me from telling you these things. These things should be made known to you … Every life in this world should know. The sins of the past cannot be washed away by forgetting. "
Everyone could see that the giant was actually in a dilemma: he was rational, so he did not blindly hate like the other mutated guardians. He knew that revenge on the descendants of the treacherous sons was meaningless, but when he saw the "mortals" with the blood of the traitors flowing in their veins, he could not help but feel a knot in his heart. His rationality allowed him to let go of this meaningless hatred, but his emotions made him unable to forget the scene of his mother's death. He had been in this state of dilemma for thousands of years, and it was not surprising that a person who was in such a dilemma would do anything.
Hao Ren was glad that he had stopped the giant before he wiped out the Holletta civilization. Otherwise, he would not be the only one who would regret it.
"Hey, wait a minute, do you know about the Wall of Reality?" Hao Ren suddenly thought of this crucial thing. "Do you know about large-scale transmigration?"
"The Wall of Reality?" The giant frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these people seemed to know many things that were beyond his understanding. "What is that?"
"It's a barrier that separates this universe from another 'twin universe.'" Hao Ren looked at the giant's expression and knew that the situation was not in line with his speculation. "We came from the other side of the Wall of Reality. Theoretically, the two universes have no intersection, but 10,000 years ago, a large number of 'otherworldlings' passed through this barrier …"
Hao Ren briefly explained the Wall of Reality to the giant, but the latter was still confused and frowned. "I don't know about this kind of thing. If there is such a phenomenon in the universe, Mother will definitely tell us. She knows most of the truth of this world."
Vivian rubbed her chin. "Alright, let's not talk about the Wall of Reality for now. Let's talk about the otherworldlings. In terms of time, the arrival of the otherworldlings, the rampage of the First Borns, the fall of the Goddess, and the large-scale failure of the Wall of Reality all happened at the same time, and they were all connected. Do you think that the impact of the fall of the Goddess destroyed the structure of space-time? Some kind of powerful energy … or shock wave or something. "
The giant could not give any answer because the moment the Goddess fell, all the guardians were in great chaos, and the Star of Creation in the depths of the universe was also in great turmoil. It was impossible to observe such an abstract and difficult to perceive phenomenon like the Wall of Reality in that situation. And there was a more important reason: he did not want to recall that moment again in any case. Hao Ren also knew this, so he stopped Vivian from asking any more questions.
After confirming that he could not think of any more questions for a while, Hao Ren decided to leave first: there were still a lot of things to deal with in Holletta. But before he left, he looked at the giant with some embarrassment. "What should I do with you?"
The giant looked around at the crystal container around him. He knew that it was a cage, but he was very calm. "As you wish. I don't care about anything anymore."
"At first, I wanted to lock you up like a prisoner," Hao Ren spread out his hands. "After all, you're too dangerous. But now I feel that you don't seem so difficult to control … It's a bit inhumane to lock you up. "
"Are you going to let me go?" the giant asked faintly.
Hao Ren was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly. Then he operated on the holographic panel beside him, and the crystal wall around the giant disappeared silently in the air. At the same time, several passages around the crystal hall flashed with the light of the barrier. "I can't let you go, because I can't control you. But you can move around in this hall and a few rooms next to it … The range of movement is limited, but at least it's better than a cage. There will be arcane colloids and autonomous robots to take care of your life here. If you feel bored, you can also apply for some film and television entertainment … That's all I can give you now, but after things have progressed, I will come back to you again. I hope we can find a better solution. "
After knowing a lot of the truth, he was no longer hostile to the giant.
The giant, however, did not respond to Hao Ren's arrangements. In fact, the expression on his face had been very indifferent. Apart from showing some excitement when talking about his "mother", his emotions were almost like a walking corpse. "Very well, that's enough."
Hao Ren led the others out of the hall. Before closing the door, he took one last look at the center of the hall. He saw that the giant had sat down. Although the barrier around him had disappeared, he did not move as if he had drawn a prison.
The gigantic figure sat there motionlessly, giving the illusion that he was going to sit there quietly forever.
Crapple Research Station had another special prisoner … Was it really a prisoner?
"Let's observe for a while," Hao Ren sighed. "I have a hunch that he won't be locked up for too long."
"Of course, he's not crazy, just a little dangerous," Lily said. "By the way, Mr. Landlord, how much of what he said is true?"
Hao Ren replied casually, "I think it's all true."
Lily stared at him and asked, "You trust him that much?"
"I used 20 sets of lie detectors," Hao Ren said, waving his hand. "Of course, it doesn't matter. What's more important is that my hunch tells me that what the giant said is very credible. After all, all the timelines match up, and it also matches up with all the information we have on hand. The second point is the key. You can lie to justify yourself, but you can't lie to someone else to justify themselves, right? "
"Your hunch?" Lily looked up and down at Hao Ren. "Is this thing really reliable?"
Vivian did not wait for Hao Ren to answer and said, "I think it's reliable. Have you forgotten the accuracy of his Crow's Mouth?"
Hao Ren wanted to argue that his hunch was not based on the accuracy of the Crow's Mouth, but based on the relationship of the "spokesperson of the true God". But after thinking for a long time, he still felt that the second reason was not as convincing as the Crow's Mouth, so he simply shut up.
When they returned to the spaceship, Lily talked about what happened in CARS to the rest of the crew. They still needed some time to digest such a huge amount of information. Hao Ren tapped his forehead and said, "When I came back, I just remembered … there are still a lot of questions that I haven't asked."
Lily just finished talking and turned to ask him, "What did you forget? I think it's quite comprehensive. "
"A lot, such as whether other guardians can be contacted, what to do if they are contacted, how many races remained 'silent' when the Goddess was assassinated, and how many races survived, and most importantly … what is the origin of the visitor from space?" Hao Ren shook his head regretfully. "And I even forgot to ask him his name. It seems that I have to make a list next time."
Lily bit her lips and said, "That's quite a lot … but I think it's better to ask next time. Now let's hurry to Holletta and have a look. The pope is dead, the sacred mountain is blown up, and the Cult of Origination is finished. I don't know how chaotic it is over there. "
Lily was right. Holletta was really in a mess now, but the mess on their hands would soon be over.
Because Hao Ren would bring them a greater shock — the truth of the fall of the Goddess 10,000 years ago.
