The southern suburbs are all quiet. There is no light in every house, and not even a cat or dog can be seen in the streets. Except for the street lights that stay on all night long and still give off a cool glow, the entire city
I have been completely immersed in the quiet night, as if frozen in the night.
The dark clouds in the sky covered the crescent moon. Behind the thick clouds, only a glimmer of light leaked out from the gaps in the clouds. The half-covered moonlight seemed to be tinged with a trace of scarlet color. It reluctantly
It fell on the roof of the Hao family mansion, with a vague and illusory texture.
A burst of chaotic flapping wings suddenly broke the silent night that seemed to be frozen forever. The clouds in the sky seemed to retreat all of a sudden. The clear moonlight suddenly fell from the clouds, and in the moonlight, a group of black bats
It circled and descended from high altitude.
This group of bats circled twice over the Hao family mansion in a surprisingly orderly manner, and then flew into the room through the open skylight. The faint moonlight that originally shone into the corridor through the skylight suddenly dimmed, and was captured by the bat swarm.
Cut into pieces, these bats quickly gathered in the corridor, and in the blink of an eye they gathered into an elegant and slightly cold black-haired girl.
When Vivian returned from her "walk", she looked back at the moonlight outside and saw that the moon had been covered by clouds again, and this time even the ray of light was hard to find.
The house was quiet, which was normal. It was already close to 1:30 in the evening. Even if "Go" is a night owl and Elizabeth doesn't like to sleep, she should have gone back to the house to rest. If she could persist in staying up at this hour and go out for a long walk,
The only one in the circle was her, a "vampire" with a unique biological clock. In fact, if she hadn't felt like she wasn't sleeping well these days, Vivian would have even gone shopping for a while.
Thinking of her sleeping problem, Vivian couldn't help but stretch, let out a long yawn, and prepared to go back to her room to rest.
But before returning to the basement, she went to the kitchen. First, she added rice and water to the automatic rice cooker and set the cooking time for the next day. Then she went to the water room to get a large basin of tap water to dry.
In the open space of the kitchen, the former is to save trouble when cooking when getting up early, and the latter is because Doudou prefers to swim in the tap water that has been left out for a few hours, because this can more effectively dissipate the strange smell in the tap water.
After working in the kitchen, she checked the amount of water in the water dispenser again, because a careless big dog often drained out the last drop of water in the water dispenser without changing the bucket; and cleaned up some broken biscuit crumbs on the coffee table.
, that should be evidence that Gun got up secretly in the middle of the night to eat. If he didn't take care of it, that silly cat would probably be scolded by Hao Ren until noon.
Vivian crossed her arms and looked around the living room, feeling full and satisfied.
Finally she returned to her room in the basement.
She did not turn on the light, but just hummed some simple melodies in her mouth. In this way, even if she did not rely on dark vision, the sound waves fed back from the surroundings were enough for her to detect all the details in the dark. The electricity bill she could save in this way was actually minimal.
, but Vivian is very accustomed to this frugal way: even though she has no worries about food and clothing now, some long-established habits are still not easy to change.
She waved her hand again, and a swarm of bats appeared out of thin air and surrounded her, transforming her clothes into a black nightgown. Then she lay on the bed, preparing to fall asleep.
But soon, she sat up again, frowning slightly in the darkness, listening intently to the sound coming from a certain direction.
I heard someone calling my name again, and it was still the inexplicable auditory hallucination.
This is not the first time that these auditory hallucinations have appeared. They have appeared at least seven or eight times in the past few days, and each time it is so real that it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
Vivian shook her head and put her hand on the amulet from Raven 12345 on her chest, and a sense of calm and peace gradually came over her.
The auditory hallucination only happened for a moment, and soon disappeared as if it had never happened before. Under the forced calming effect of the amulet, she felt a little sleepy slowly getting bigger, so she put those unimportant things aside and started again.
Lie on the bed and slowly fall into sleep.
Silence returned to the basement. Only the medical cabins and space transmission devices in the compartments occasionally made one or two slight sounds when they were on standby. Deep darkness gathered from all directions, and everything was silent in the darkness.
But after a while, something vague and difficult to distinguish between reality and reality gradually emerged from the darkness.
In the corner of the basement, on the dark ceiling, beside Vivian's sleeping bed, phantom-like things are gradually emerging. At first they were deep and turbid black, almost blending into the surrounding darkness, but gradually
These things took on more realistic colors and quickly stood out from the darkness of the background. These chaotic and fuzzy shadows became clear and began to take on various forms: birds and beasts, people, chariots and horses, palace walls and pavilions.
, even mountains, forests, lakes and seas...
The space in the basement seemed to have been expanded countless times at once, and it seemed as if the surrounding walls and furniture had disappeared out of thin air, turning into an infinite vast world. In the darkness, except for the bed where Weiwei settled, there were only various objects around.
All kinds of phantoms are moving, and they overlap and pile up together, like scenes of absurd historical dramas with erroneous time and ridiculous logic. All kinds of things that have long since disappeared appear in these dramas.
A Viking pirate came out of the shadows. His upper body was naked, and the horn helmet on his head was cracked with several fine lines. He came to Vivian's bedside, but put one foot in the air and looked into the distance.
With his posture, an unprovoked splash of water rolled up from under his feet, and the wooden side of the ship and messy ropes appeared under his feet.
Then a flash of fire flashed across the sky, and the Viking pirates shattered like glass. A fleet caught up from behind the pirate ship. The fleet flew the flag of the Greek city-state. An ancient Greek naval officer stood on the bow of the ship and drew out
The long knife was pointed at the terrifying sea monster emerging from the water ahead.
Poseidon emerged from Vivian's bedside. This giant with beard and hair as thick as seaweed pointed his trident at the Greek warships, and countless warships were instantly torn into pieces by the wind and waves.
The endless yellow sand replaced the turbulent ocean in the next moment. Persians in robes were trekking on the desert. A businessman driving camels stopped in front of Vivian's bed. He bent down, but his sight was completely
Didn't land on that bed. Obviously, what he saw in his time and space was something else.
A long sword suddenly cut through the illusion of the Persian businessman, followed by crossbow bolts like locusts that covered the sky and blocked the sun. The Persian caravan disappeared, and an army clad in black armor appeared in the distance.
The mighty officer shouted loudly on his horse: "The King of Qin has an order to mark the merits of the enemy with his head. Regardless of his high or low birth, he will kill the enemy bravely!"
However, the general's words were swallowed up by the wind and sand, and his army soon became a phantom floating in the yellow sand. In the dust that blocked the sky, a floating warship that looked like it was made of gold slowly crossed the sky. It was brilliant and brilliant.
The sail is almost as big as the sun.
Countless worshipers appeared, crawling in the yellow sand, crawling beside the pyramids, and crawling in the fertile soil beside the Nile River. No matter the princes, nobles or common people, they all praised the name of Ra and praised the name of Horus.
Prestige.
However, a powerful light struck from the west, the solar ship was torn apart in a big explosion, and the whole of Egypt was plunged into a sea of fire.
The chaotic and complicated history is still unfolding in this absurd drama, but only the small bed in the world is as unaffected as an isolated island. Vivian sleeping on the bed frowned, as if she had dreamed of something bad.
She turned over, and all the phantoms oscillated violently, as if the world collapsed and silently shattered into fragments all over the sky. Mount Olympus collapsed, the temple of Ra also collapsed, Pompeii, Troy
, Asgard, Thinis, Babylon, and the legendary Tower of Babel... everything began to collapse.
But this silent collapse suddenly stopped, because Vivian became quiet again, and she whispered a few words softly, maybe it was tomorrow's menu, maybe it was something to buy at home, or maybe it was the name of a certain TV show, in short
She fell back into a peaceful sleep, and the vision of the basement remained.
After a moment of eerie silence, these illusions receded on their own initiative like a tide, and the original scene in the basement was finally revealed again.
But not everything has faded away. Beside Vivian's bed, something translucent is still there. It is a circle of primitive people wearing animal skins and disheveled hair. They formed several circles and came from another place.
The firelight of time and space shone on their faces, making these primitive people look as scary and empty as ghosts. They worshiped beside Vivian, leaning down to kiss the ground next to Vivian again and again, and their voices came from another time and space.
Came, subtle and vague:
"The Great King of Blood, the Great King of Nightmares, the Great King of Death..."
The deep darkness gathered in all directions, and finally, the last phantom disappeared.
The dark clouds in the sky had dispersed at some point, and a crescent moon reappeared on the horizon. It was about to sink below the horizon, but it was still emitting an almost abnormally bright moonlight. This moonlight passed through a narrow transom above the basement.
Sprinkled into the room, it happened to shine on Vivian.
Under the last ray of moonlight tonight, Vivian turned over again. It seemed that she was affected by the light. She frowned and murmured softly:
