What is recorded in this manuscript is not any ancient magic, nor is it a lost treasure. In fact, it is a rough and highly compressed log. It is something that Vivienne has recorded intermittently since thousands of years ago. The main content is Every time she sleeps and wakes up, as well as some impressive experiences when she is active in the world. Since the manuscript has some content at the beginning of the memory completion, its records can actually be traced back to more than 10,000 years ago—or even longer, because at the beginning of the manuscript there is a scene of the end of the Quaternary Glacier, 10,000 years ago Just a conservative estimate.
But Vivian herself has completely forgotten about this thing. If she hadn't been lucky enough to reunite with Paul, I'm afraid these precious materials that cannot be copied will be lost forever. Thinking of this, even Hao Ren broke into a cold sweat for her: This girl's memory is really disturbing.
Sleeping again and again, and recovering again and again, taking these key events as nodes, the manuscript records the experience and knowledge of an immortal over the past 10,000 years along a vague time axis. The features of the earth's primitive prehistoric period can be seen from those ancient texts, and those ancient gods and demons that have disappeared with the end of the mythical age also frequently appear between the lines.
Hao Ren's thoughts seemed to drift back to the ignorant age of human beings following Vivienne's voice—it just happened not long ago for the earth, but it is an unverifiable ancient time for human beings. At that time, human beings were still savage creatures who dug caves, the earth was ruled by ancient ferocious beasts and the mighty nature, and ancient aliens with god-like power ruled the whole world, and most of them didn't even think of wanting to... Established theocracy in human society—however, their activities had deeply affected the primitive people at that time, so the human beings at that time had the most simple and ignorant belief in primitive gods. They confuse all kinds of natural phenomena with those aliens who can call wind and rain, and list them as primitive gods. At that time, Vivienne was walking aimlessly in the world, and on certain occasions and times, she was even a member of those primitive gods.
It's just that the time she walks in the world is not too long each time: the inexplicable drowsiness always troubles her.
The records on the manuscript are still going on, and now there are sprouts of human civilization. For Vivian back then, this was an interesting phenomenon:
"...was awakened in an underground crack, and the stone room he was in during his sleep was intact. But it had sunk deep underground as a whole, and it seemed that he had suffered an earthquake during his sleep. Fortunately, he didn't fall into the underground magma. It's spring on the surface, and It became strange again. The place that should be a large lake in the impression has now become a grassland, and the nearby soil has become very fertile. I found humans grazing, they no longer wear animal skins, and their villages have grown Changes - some houses, built of stone and wood, they seem to be growing very fast. The clothes on me are already worn out. Maintaining them with magic is becoming more and more unnecessary, maybe something can be gained from humans...
"In addition, I found a lithograph near the place where I fell asleep. It still records the bad mood before going to sleep. It's strange. I don't remember it. But I decided to put These notes are transcribed as they are, and may be useful in the future.
"Following a river, found more fertile land and larger human settlements, they can reproduce in such a large size in the wilderness. Amazing. Something must have helped them withstand the threats around them , Humans can deal with beasts in groups, but they can’t deal with my kind... I went up the river. I found the asylum of human beings, they are old friends. Amon and Osiris. They are protecting a human kingdom, which is very Odd, but also delightful, they have a better attitude towards humans than the rest of my kind... I'm reminded of Zeus and... um, Hella? Or Hera. That couple seems to have something similar I don’t know where they live now, maybe I should go to them, my physical strength is recovering very well, it’s a good time to embark on a journey.
"... I couldn't find the Zeus couple. Because I lost my way in a strange place illuminated by the red moonlight. I feel irritable, and there are villains full of hostility to me here. No matter how many people kill me, it won't help, it can only make the anger worse Yue Lie... Maybe there is some kind of illusion here, anyway, sleepiness hits me, and I must continue to sleep."
Hao Ren frowned, and seemed to find some suspicious points between the lines, but Vivian just continued to translate:
"...Woke up in the water, maybe it has been soaked for a long time. It seems that something changed in the deep sleep, and an underground river poured in. The world is always changing, no matter where you sleep, it is not 100% safe. Even if burying myself underground can avoid the harassment of other people and animals, it is difficult to deal with geological changes after all. I found the notes I left before I fell asleep last time, and it wrote about fighting with people and emotional irritability, but As always, I have no recollection of the eerie emotions of that time, and can only tentatively believe that they really happened. I now have a new way of taking notes, and I can turn things on those slates and rags Copied to the soft yarn that Horus gave me.
"Remembering the previous plan, I set off to find Zeus and Hera. I remember that they settled on a high mountain. According to the orientation of the stars, they should be able to be found. I hope the stars will not change too much.
"...I found the Zeus couple, and I am very happy with them. The human beings they sheltered are also very prosperous. Those humans even built huge cities and wonders of stone. Although those buildings have no magical power, they are almost as large as temples... It seems that Poseidon is a bit displeased with this, he doesn't like to see humans have the ability to build the same wonders as the gods.
"... I sorted out some previous records in my spare time. I was confused about my sleeping and waking up. Others—including those werewolves and undeads—did not have the experience of falling asleep as many times as I did. I found some patterns... "
"Some rules..." Vivienne put down the manuscript for a while, her face a little unsightly, "Landlord, why do I feel weird."
Hao Ren has long felt that the lines in this manuscript reveal something strange, but those things are vague and difficult to grasp. He touched his chin and looked at Vivienne: "You don't remember anything about this manuscript?"
"I have no impression at all," Vivienne frowned, "But according to the sporadic revelations in the manuscript, although I would forget some of the things recorded on it in the previous sleeps, there will always be a little bit of incompleteness left. memory, so I was able to supplement the manuscript based on those incomplete memories later. But in the last deep sleep... I simply forgot all of these, even the manuscript itself."
"The last time you fell asleep...was after the battle with the angry spirit three hundred years ago." Hao Ren looked at Vivienne. "That was the most 'serious' time. Your missing memory happened to be the most important part: You forgot this 'diary' that you have been recording continuously for 10,000 years."
Vivian looked at the manuscript. The crude pictures on it recorded what she had seen and heard on Earth in certain periods, but more of them were various strange and weird "creatures" that looked like monsters. Every time Vivienne goes through a big battle before falling asleep, she wipes out those monsters in a state of irritability and anger, and then falls into a deep sleep because of "drowsiness". The image is drawn, it seems to be to make myself wake up and recognize it, so that I will be more vigilant the next time I encounter these monsters.
Looking at those strange paintings, Vivienne said softly while thinking: "According to my conclusion, there are two types of deep sleep: one is when there is nothing to do—or when the poor are about to starve to death. , I took the initiative to choose to go into a deep sleep to get through the hard days. This kind of sleep is controllable, and there seems to be no sequelae. After waking up, I will only lose a small part of my memory or not lose my memory at all, and there is no sign of a significant weakening of my physical strength. What is recorded in the manuscript is completely the second situation: drowsiness strikes, and I have to sleep."
Hao Ren looked into Vivian's eyes: "After this uncontrollable drowsiness strikes, you will lose a lot of memory, and your body will be extremely weak after waking up?"
"To be honest, I'm not sure," Vivienne waved her hands dumbfounded. "The most difficult thing for an amnesiac is to confirm what he has forgotten. But I do understand many of the details mentioned in this manuscript." Can't remember, and I did feel terribly weak after waking up from a deep sleep a few times...”
"Including the latest time," Hao Ren tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, "Your last deep sleep was after killing the angry spirit, and it was also an uncontrollable sleep caused by sleepiness, so you are now in a weak state?"
Vivian looked at her body: "But I feel that I am quite energetic."
"Don't make trouble, people feel that they have a great advantage before they die suddenly."
"... Landlord, you really can't talk."
Hao Ren coughed dryly: "Ahem, that's pretty much what it means anyway. In short, I don't know if you've noticed a detail: In the records of this manuscript, you will experience the same thing every time before you 'sleep strikes'! "
Vivienne's eyes were fixed: "I noticed, mania, anger, inexplicable disputes with others, and... I don't know who was fighting fiercely. I have never seen the enemy mentioned above, and these paintings also look very strangeness."
"But the manuscript was indeed written by you." Hao Ren stared into Vivian's eyes, "Are you sure you can't remember this part of the content? Even the last time you fell asleep was three hundred years ago, did you have this? Can’t you remember the phenomenon?” (To be continued~^~)
