There is still a little time before departure, and everyone is preparing to continue their journey in this "safe house". Hasselblad is checking his weapons and equipment, and Hesperis has brought back his Twilight from Hao Ren. With a scepter and a suit of armor, other people are also busy with their own affairs, and there is no need for redundant communication. Everyone present is a knowledgeable person who has experienced great storms and waves, and knows exactly what they should do when.
After checking her equipment, Hesiana sat down on the spot, and stared blankly at her other self not far away.
After Vivienne left, Little Heatherana fell into a stagnant state like other things belonging to this time and space. She turned into a gray-white "sculpture", with an excited and curious innocent look on her face, lifelike. Her thoughts were forever frozen at the last moment, without the bitter waiting of the following hundreds of years, without the restless hiding and fleeing life after the end of the age of mythology, and without the depressive time of intriguing with others in the asylum of Athens. The little girl who opened her eyes to see the world is like a bug sealed in amber, standing still in this place, and her life is also frozen in this place.
Looking at her, Hesiana suddenly sighed softly.
Lily's ears were sharp, and she looked over curiously when she heard the movement: "What's wrong with you?"
"Perhaps this is an idealized 'I'," Heatherana said softly, "At the most innocent age, I didn't experience dark days, and I didn't have any anxiety. Every day in my memory is happy and satisfied. , and finally found my mother... Although sometimes I don't like your 'landlord', but this time I really should thank him. In this illusory history, all my wishes have been fulfilled. "
Lily didn't know how much she heard, but she heard the last sentence anyway: "That's right, the landlord is very good."
Heather Anna smiled and didn't say anything more, but stood up and was about to leave, but the moment she stood up, something unexpected happened: the figure of little Heather Anna suddenly shook not far away, Then the surface of the gray-white stone-like body suddenly cracked countless fine lines, and before everyone could react, she had already shattered silently, turning into a hazy cloud of smoke and dust.
This puff of smoke flew straight towards the bewildered Hesiana, and disappeared into her body in the blink of an eye.
Lily suddenly jumped up in surprise: "Wow! Heather Anna is possessed by herself!"
Hao Ren also noticed the movement here, but of course he didn't pay attention to the husky girl's crazy thoughts. He just looked at Heatherna nervously: "What happened just now? Where's your 2P?"
Heather Anna was obviously also a little confused. She turned around with a dull expression, and after checking her whole body, she said in a daze, "I don't know what's going on, but suddenly... eh?"
Hao Ren and Lili said in unison: "What's wrong?"
Heather Anna's expression became very dazed for a moment, staggering as if she was about to faint at any time, and she recovered after a full dozen seconds. She blinked her eyes, and the expression on her face didn't know whether it was bitterness or a smile. : "That's how it is... If the other self is nearby when the retrospective is completed, will memory fusion still occur... I feel like a memory suddenly appeared in my head, it was when I was a child, uh, there is you in that memory."
Speaking of this, Hao Ren naturally understood what was going on with the dumbfounding look on Hesiana's face.
He put his hips on his hips and said confidently: "Okay, now I can say that I hugged you when you were a child, not only did I hug you, I hugged you in the form of a little bat - you were still sleeping in my pocket back then." saliva… "
Heather Anna knew that Hao Ren was going to say this, and immediately flew into a rage: "Say it again, I will fight with you!!"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes at Tian: "Anyway, whether I say it or not, the facts are here."
Heather Anna's face was full of tears, and she just said that she envied little Heather Anna as a "perfect version of herself". At this time, the two memories merged together when she turned her face, and the perfect childhood was obtained. Unfortunately, it was This perfect childhood also brought an angry relative who bought one and got one free. She wanted to rush up and nibble on Hao Ren's arm, but as soon as the idea came up, she discovered another sad fact—little Hesianna's love for Hao Ren. Hao Ren's impressions also merged into her own memory. In the little girl's mind, he was a great, bright, correct and super powerful brother... You said that this generation is messed up.
After scratching the formula in Heather Anna's head for a long time, she finally figured out one thing: what happened to her was not just a simple memory fusion, because little Heather Anna was also a "real existence" individual in this time and space, she didn't absorb The memory of the other party was deleted, but his own childhood experience... a paragraph was added out of thin air.
It is impossible for her to hypnotize herself and say that memory is fake...
Hao Ren didn't have the ability to read minds, but he could probably guess the girl's mental state just by watching the changing expression on the little bat spirit's face, and with his own reasoning, so he couldn't help but comfort her. : "Then, don't think too much about it. There is nothing wrong with schizophrenia. Don't you see that your mother is also schizophrenic? Now you have proved that your mother loves you with a genetic disease in your family. At least it proves that your mother is your mother..."
Lily slapped her forehead: "The landlord's mouth seems to have completely given up on treatment..."
Hesperis wandered over at some point, and said leisurely after hearing the words: "Didn't you feel that he did it on purpose?"
Heather Anna didn't bother to answer Hao Ren's gag, she let out a long sigh: "Hey, there is one more ridiculous thing now - I now firmly believe that I have a sister named Hathaway, and she is powerful and omnipotent... no , After I go back, I have to find someone to give myself a deep hypnosis, and at least correct Hathaway, the 'sister'... "
Hao Ren: "..."
This trip back in time really made the little bat spirit accomplish many remarkable achievements in life.
"By the way, your mental state won't affect your next performance, right?" Out of caution, he finally confirmed with Little Bat Jing.
Heather Anna patted her chest: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem, as long as you don't drive me into a fight and ask my sister's name."
Hao Ren curled his lips and turned around to greet everyone: "Are you ready? Let's set off when we are ready. The next stop will be the heyday of the Age of Mythology—Hesperis. Be happy. You can go back and have a look." It's my own home."
Hesperis glanced at the dilapidated temple beside her. Being summoned into the sandbox world at this terrible historical point gave her an unpleasant start to her retrospective journey, but after hearing Hao Ren's words, she Still shaking his head: "Sometimes, it's better to let the past go. If the next stop really has a chance to touch Olympus, I hope to skip it as soon as possible—otherwise I worry that I will accidentally indulge in it." In a false time and space."
Hao Ren understood her feelings, so he didn't say anything more, but just as he was about to walk towards the shimmering temple gate not far away, he found Lily standing there without moving.
"What's wrong?" He asked curiously.
"Landlord, I feel like I can't continue to toss this history with you," Lily scratched her hair in embarrassment, and pointed to her legs, "Look, my WIFI is about to break."
Hao Ren finally saw the changes in the husky girl. Starting from her legs, her body had been covered with a layer of gray and white, and the covered area was slowly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. This scene seemed to be gradually spreading. General petrochemical.
He remembered Raven 12345's exhortation—
As he continues to go back deeper into history, the people around him will lose their connection reference points one by one. After one to two thousand years of their respective birth years, they will inevitably be ejected from this sandbox system.
Only a special individual like Hao Ren who directly enters the sandbox system as an entity can complete the journey of going back ten thousand years.
Lily is the youngest of all, she was born only a hundred years ago in the real timeline, and now the time point backtracked by everyone is 44 BC, a time difference of nearly two thousand years—Lily can come here One step is already the limit.
Although he knew that she would be the first to leave the team, Hao Ren still felt a little sudden at this moment. He opened his mouth: "You... are leaving?"
The husky girl stared: "Landlord, what you are saying is like I am dying! I will go out to rest and return to the auditorium. Don't worry, I am the best at spectating!"
Hao Ren: "..."
The little bit of parting sorrow that just popped up was directly turned back by Husky Jing's ingenious speech, and Hao Ren waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I've been in this time and space for a long time, and I almost forgot about you and me." It's different. Let's go, let's leave the rest to me."
While speaking, the gray-white "petrification" had spread to Lily's chest.
"Then I went out to eat melon!" She looked at Hao Ren with a smile, "You must bring the bat back! She owes me the braised pork ribs forever, and you have to come back whole, you If you don't pay, that poor man will never be able to afford ribs for the rest of his life... "
Before the petrification gradually spread to her shoulders, she suddenly raised her hand, and raised the giant x6 alloy sword high above her head.
"Hey landlord, if I lift this sword up, will it be preserved after I petrify? To be honest, if so, I think it's a bug. Look at the clothes I'm wearing..."
Lily's words stopped abruptly.
Hao Ren looked up and found that the giant alloy sword was also being stained with a strange off-white luster.
He nodded: "When you go out, you have to tell her that there is no bug in it."
