Lily's series of abnormal words and deeds instantly shocked everyone in the secret room to stop their movements, but the person involved seemed to have no feeling at all. She just kept rubbing her eyes, and the sleepy and confused expression on her face became more and more serious. And in this dazed state, Lily finally noticed that the surrounding atmosphere was abnormal, she flicked her tail and looked at Hao Ren: "Landlord, what's the matter?"
Hao Ren immediately jumped back more than two meters, and the first thing that came to his mind blurted out: "Who the hell are you!"
Lily continued to flick her tail: "I'm Li..."
She stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, and the husky girl showed both confusion and astonishment on her face. After a while, she stood up slowly, and began to look around like a person who just woke up from a thousand-year-long dream. The vicissitudes and ancient furnishings in the secret room came into her eyes one by one.
After a long time, a big tear fell silently from the corner of her eye, but Lily didn't know anything about it, and she still had the blank and confused expression on her face, as if the tear was another hidden secret. In the depths of her soul, the long-dead will is in control.
"Big dog?" A few seconds later, Vivienne tentatively called Lily, "Did you... remember something?"
"I... no, but it just feels weird, this place is very familiar," Lily woke up, and only then felt her face cool, she touched the corners of her eyes, a little surprised, "ah, why am I crying? "
Hao Ren stared blankly at Lily, and finally felt for the first time that this extremely healthy and super-spirited dog girl was in an extremely fragile state, and her mind seemed to be in a huge shake. Seeing that Lily's footsteps were a little unsteady, he immediately stepped forward to support her, and carefully let her sit down on the stone bed: "Don't talk, don't think about it, it may be that something left in the secret room has affected your mood. Mind. I'll have the data terminal check for you and check..."
In fact, at this time, Hao Ren had already had a certain conjecture inexplicably in his mind, but this conjecture was too shocking to the world, and it could not be described as a collapse of the three views when thrown on Lily, so he would rather believe that this husky who was constantly in trouble was picked up on the ground just now. Stomach spoiled.
And at the same time he was helping Lily to sit down, a gust of cold wind suddenly came from the corner of the secret room. Immediately afterwards, a translucent black phantom suddenly appeared in the air. This time, the presence of this figure was so strong that Hao Ren saw her immediately.
"You are..." Hao Ren looked at the spirit body that appeared out of nowhere in astonishment. Suddenly realized that this suspected ghost figure had appeared for the third time: the first time was in the library, she ran into a large bookshelf and disappeared; the second time was in the banquet hall, this figure also appeared out of thin air Come out, and finally disappear on Lily; and in this secret room, she appears for the third time.
The "ghost" that appeared out of thin air did not speak, but stood quietly three to four meters in front of Hao Ren and Lily, her face blurred. The body is slightly transparent, but it can still be judged to be a petite woman.
When everyone was surprised and inexplicable, Claude carefully observed the phantom, and finally exclaimed: "Echo of the Holy Spirit?!"
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison: "Speak human!"
"This is... the reverberation of the first sage!" Claude quickly explained, "The first sage was irradiated by the red moon and died. Her soul was torn apart, so she couldn't rest in peace. In the higher bell tower of the spirit world Occasionally on the floor, an image similar to the figure of the first saint can be seen walking around, which is the residual echo of her soul. But the truth of this matter is only known by the twelve saints and us attendants—ordinary witchers will tell these The image is confused with the ordinary space-time illusions that can be seen everywhere in the clock tower of the spirit world, and only we know that this is the power left by the first saint."
Hao Ren immediately looked at the phantom in surprise. I didn't expect that what I met twice in a row before would be the remnant soul of the first saint. And what surprised him even more was yet to come: after standing quietly for a while, the phantom suddenly walked towards this side, her body shaking like water ripples. The blurry face gradually became clear, and the eyebrows were slowly outlined. Outline the corners of the lips, outline the facial features, and outline Lily's appearance.
Finally, she lunged forward and merged into Lily's body.
"Wow!" Lily exclaimed subconsciously, her tail stretched straight, "Ahh!"
"Shut up, you've been caught by yourself!" Vivian Bingxue was smart and well-informed, and if she still couldn't figure out the situation at this time, it would be a waste of ten thousand years of experience. Like everyone else, she asked in disbelief. "Big dog, you... are you the number one saint?!"
Lily's eyes were straight at this time: "Do you look like me?!"
"It's not a matter of appearance," Hao Ren said while grabbing Lily's tail and ears, "This, this... I thought that I had experienced many battles in the past two years and had seen a lot. Everything can be changed without surprise, why is everything that happens to you still so frustrating... "
Lily didn't dodge all of a sudden, and let Hao Ren grab her tail before she exclaimed, "Ah! What are you doing, landlord!"
Before he finished speaking, he slapped Hao Ren on the head, causing the rigid shield to glow golden.
Hao Ren made Lily's head buzz with a slap. Fortunately, the place was solid, otherwise the shy and angry slap of the dog girl would have sent people into the ground. He withdrew his hand embarrassingly: "Uh, if you care about it, you will be confused. I just want to see if you have changed."
At this time, the data terminal has already circled Lily several times, and it has recorded the whole process of the fusion of the phantom and Lily just now, and the analysis has been completed at this moment: "According to the judgment of this machine, you guessed it right: it is not possessed. , but regression and fusion.”
Surrounded by everyone, Lily looked innocent: "So what should I do?"
Discuss, research, observe, analyze.
Those precious ancient files seemed to have become unimportant all of a sudden, and Hao Ren and his party's attention was all shifted from those ancient relics to Lily. Hao Ren used the high-tech data terminal, Vivienne and Yizaks were checking Lily's mental state, Bai Huo and Tutan were working with Claude on those ancient dossiers about the First Saint Search for various evidences.
After some fuss, things finally became clearer.
"How did the big dog become the number one saint..." Even with the facts in front of her eyes, Vivienne still couldn't believe it. She stared at the husky who was happy and happy, and couldn't connect him with the great leader of the witcher at all. , "Without such a super-expanded..."
At this moment, Mimir's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's minds: "If you trust me, maybe I can help to investigate."
So a group of people ran out from the secret room again, and Mimir looked at Lily with wide eyes, and his voice was full of surprise: "I didn't expect that the first saint would be 'reincarnated', and he could do this under the light of the red moon. It's amazing."
"How do you plan to investigate?" Hao Ren looked at the guardian giant curiously.
"Check the soul and spirit," Mimir said frankly, "and I have stayed in the bell tower of the spiritual world for thousands of years, and my perception is all over the whole tower, so I am also very familiar with the reverberation of the first saint. Contact, I should be able to figure out what is going on with this little girl."
Hao Ren suddenly realized: The most powerful power of Guardian Giants is their spiritual energy!
The demigod creatures created by the goddess of creation all have amazing spiritual energy. Leaving aside the eldest son, the spiritual power of the guardian giant is also crushing for mortals. Muru's babbling in his sleep is enough to create a cult in Beinz Parish, and Mimir's power is certainly not bad.
After thinking about it and getting Lily's consent, Hao Ren nodded: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Then he confessed through the mental connection and the data terminal: "You are monitoring by the side, and if there is a problem, immediately cut off their spiritual connection."
It is imperative to be defensive—Although Hao Ren believes that the race of "Guardian Giants" is respectable, he is still very unfamiliar with Mimir, and this is a guardian who lost his memory in the original sin of blood. Just be more careful. This is not paranoia and conspiracy theories, but necessary vigilance and sense of responsibility.
After arranging everything, Lily stood in front of Mimir's huge head with a little anxiety, and relaxed her mind according to the other party's instructions.
At the same time, on the floor near Mimir's head, countless shining runes and ancient runes reappeared.
"Open your heart..." Mimir's voice echoed in Lily's mind, with a reassuring and peaceful force, "Uncover your dusty memories... Recall the moment when you opened your eyes for the first time with this body... What you saw, I will also see…”
Lily closed her eyes, and under the relaxation of her whole body and mind, her thoughts sank deeper and deeper, gradually returning to her life in this life.
That piece of snow-capped mountain forest whose name has been forgotten, that nameless cold village... (to be continued~^~)
