Vivian looked up at Hao Ren. This time, her eyes were finally no longer facing strangers.
Hao Ren knew that his guess was correct: the key to awakening Vivienne was nothing but the key to the house.
That meant the only place for thousands of years where she could truly live in peace and shelter from wind and rain.
This key is so meaningful to her that even when she is trapped in the memory vortex and the time and space are disordered, she still brings it with her in a concrete form, and the weathering and erosion marks on the key should be the result of time and space distortion . From this point, it can also be judged that Vivienne was not really unresponsive before she fell into the memory vortex. She probably had a very short response time to leave a key to "wake up" herself. Given the opportunity, she chose to hold on to the keys of the house.
"You fell asleep." Hao Ren looked into Vivienne's eyes. Although he had only been "separated" from her for less than two days, he now felt as if the two hadn't seen each other for several years. "Then all your evil thoughts The body resonates, and the resonance causes the historical information in your soul to overflow, polluting the real world... "
The sound of wind and snow outside the hunter's hut gradually subsided, and the previous storm that seemed to swallow the world finally died down. It seemed that after the master of this time and space woke up, some kind of turbulent and distorted force subsided and hid again. In the deep darkness. In the quiet hut, Hao Ren was telling the truth about what happened in the outside world and what he knew.
There are many things that may not be easy for Vivian to accept, but he must say everything, because only in this way can Vivian fully recover herself as soon as possible and get out of this dream, so that his journey backtracking can continue go down.
He looked at Vivian in front of him, and knew that the other party hadn't really "woke up". Although she seemed to have recovered her memory and was quite awake, she was still sitting here, which was enough to show that she hadn't escaped from this time and space. So we need to work harder.
"My deep sleep has caused the entire earth to fall into a distorted time and space?" Weiwei quietly listened to Hao Ren's statement, the expression on her face changed from surprise to disbelief, and then gradually calmed down. She knew that the other party would not deceive her, so I chose to believe these unbelievable facts, "And... I am an evil thought body myself? Even the biggest evil thought body..."
"I understand that this sounds a bit unacceptable," Hao Ren chose his words carefully, "but the body of evil thoughts is not necessarily bad, there will also be situations where humans and animals are harmless, don't you see that little weak chickens are usually cute? , you are safer than a weak chicken, after all... you are just poor... "
Vivienne let out a long sigh: "You know you can't comfort people, so you can't hold back?"
Hao Ren: "..."
"You don't need to comfort me." Seeing the tangled expression on Hao Ren's face, Vivian suddenly burst into a smile, "I'm not as fragile as you imagined, and in fact, I vaguely guessed it long before that. what happened to me."
Hao Ren's eyes widened: "You mean... you already feel that you are a..."
Vivienne nodded lightly: "Well - I had a hunch before, and after returning from the ancient city of Etos, I became more determined in this regard. In fact, from the very beginning, I felt that I was constantly splitting the body of evil thoughts. The thing is very strange, I split so many "doubles" with negative factors, and this split phenomenon has never ended, so how can I be completely "pure"? The pollution is in my body, even I am a source of pollution myself, and I have been mentally prepared for this.”
"and you… "
"I will not be overwhelmed by this difficulty, and I have no intention of compromising with the 'pollution' in my body, whether it comes from the Lord of Madness or some third-party behind-the-scenes hand, my will is my own, and no one can Don't try to interfere with it," Vivienne said lightly, "Is this memory vortex trapping me here? On the contrary, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time... I want to let the shadow hiding in my soul know that I am not trapped By its side, but it's trapped by my side!"
Following Vivienne's voice declaring war, the outside of the hunter's hut was finally completely dead silent. It was even more silent than before, as if the whole hut was floating in an empty universe. Hao Ren looked around and found that everything in the hut was fading and becoming still. The crackling bonfire in the firepit turned into a gray and still color, and the dried meat hanging on the wooden wall turned into a black silhouette. Lily, who was stirring the cauldron by the fire pit, also stood still there, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Vivian's figure gradually became unreal, and Hao Ren could almost see the wooden wall behind her: she was waking up and leaving this dream.
"It's time for me to leave," Vivian looked at Hao Ren. "I can feel that this time and space is rejecting me who is getting more and more awake. If I'm not wrong, after I wake up in 'this period', I will first You step into the depths of time-space distortion, where there is a battle that has lasted for ten thousand years. My two parts of the soul have been fighting there until now, and are waiting for the final decisive moment. Hao Ren, every time I sleep is equivalent to being in a A part of my power is left in the historical fragments, you have to go back and help me send these powers into the deepest battlefield... "
Vivian's figure faded faster and faster, and soon there was almost only a vague outline remaining in the air. She speeded up her speech, trying to explain the matter clearly before it completely disappeared: "... be careful of those evil thoughts Body... I am in this time and space, and they will be there too. There is almost a half chance that you will meet them when you find my sleeping place... The barbaric era is full of dangers, many of which you cannot handle... You may meet The former Hessiana, her nature is not bad, if possible, we must win her trust, she likes the novel creations of human beings, likes to eat strawberries and honey... "
Vivian's figure finally completely disappeared into the air, only her faint voice could be heard coming from nowhere:
"Hao Ren, take care of yourself, I will wait for you in the next era..."
Thus ended the brief reunion.
Hao Ren stood up and silently straightened his creased clothes from sitting for a long time. The snowflakes that fell on his collar and shoulders had already melted, and the slight dampness and coldness made him more sober and calm.
This meeting was too short, but he didn't feel depressed, because he had successfully awakened Vivienne once, which meant a correct path, everything was difficult at the beginning, and the whole thing went smoothly Mostly.
Next, he only needs to keep awakening Vivienne in each era until the end of ten thousand years.
Hao Ren looked at the gray and still hunter's hut. After Vivian completely left the dream, the hunter's hut still hadn't collapsed and dissipated. I probably guessed what I should do next. But he didn't leave this place immediately, but sorted out the brief information he got from Vivian just now.
As the creator of this distorted time and space, Vivian herself obviously knows more about this world.
She mentioned that there was a battle in the deeper consciousness, and that battle is still going on to this day.
She mentioned that she was scattered in this distorted space-time structure, and there was a force left in each space-time structure.
In the process of going back, Hao Ren had to awaken Vivian in each historical period. Every time he awakened one, it was equivalent to sending a force to the deepest battlefield and becoming Vivian's help.
In the end, these returning powers will determine the winner of the entire battle, and it will also determine whether it is a divine clone or an unprecedentedly powerful evil body that returns to the real world from a deep sleep.
These were situations that Raven 12345 had never expected when he was outside. Hao Ren felt very lucky to be able to grasp such important information in the first place.
So after sorting out the information, he cheered up and walked towards the wooden door of the hunter's cabin.
Then Lily's bluffing voice suddenly came from behind: "Ah!! Why am I here, the landlord!!"
Hao Ren's mood, which had just been tidied up, was immediately shattered by the husky's bluffing. He almost jumped up on the spot, and when he suddenly turned his head to look, he even heard a loud noise from his own neck. "Crack" sound:
Lily was standing not far behind him, still wearing the worn leather jacket she had in Siberia, and holding the long-handled spoon used to stir the cauldron in her hand, she looked exactly like the "old version of Lily".
However, from the fact that she called out the word "landlord" just now, Hao Ren can be sure that the person standing in front of him is definitely not the old version...
"Lily?" Hao Ren looked the husky girl up and down like a ghost for a long time, and then asked suspiciously, "You are... the Lily of the 21st century?"
"Landlord, what are you talking about, of course I'm Lily!" Lily looked down at the spoon in her hand, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah-this spoon...it's not what I used back then...and this dress is too Back then... wasn't I playing mahjong outside? How did this suddenly come here?"
Hao Ren was taken aback: "Playing mahjong? Why playing mahjong?"
Although Lily has a bit of a personality, she is not slow anyway, so she hastened to make amends at this time: "Ahem, I mean I was waiting for you outside, why did you come here all of a sudden?"
However, Hao Ren already guessed what was going on in the outside world: "I am here to save the world, and you guys are playing mahjong outside?!"
"No... the Nangong brothers and sisters and Lao Wang are fighting the landlord..."
Hao Ren: "..."
