Although there were endless doubts about the mutations in the outside world, Hao Ren still suppressed his urge to continue exploring and returned home before the gathering time. Strange to say, although the entire southern suburbs and even the entire world were undergoing earth-shaking changes, only one
His old house and a small area around it still remain the same, and have not been replaced by those phantoms that disrupted time and space. Just like a safe house in a disaster, the Hao family mansion has now become the only "stable" in the large-scale changes.
place of refuge.
He and Lily were the first group to come back. After returning home, they found that the house was quiet. After looking around the living room, they found that "Roll" had spread a blanket in front of the mouse hole in the corner, and he was lying there sleeping unconsciously.
Personnel, and Doudou's water basin was placed less than one meter in front of her head: this guy honestly remembered the tasks Hao Ren gave her, but she could still do it in this earth-shaking situation.
Is this cat a little too heartless to sleep so peacefully?
However, seeing that the stupid cat was sleeping soundly and Doudou was curled up in the water and taking a nap, the little weakling probably had no intention of causing trouble. In the end, Hao Ren did not disturb their sweet dreams, but came to sit on the sofa.
, while waiting for the others to come back, he and Lily quietly discussed the phenomena discovered outside and guessed where Vivian had gone.
Half an hour later, all the people who went out to investigate the situation finally returned, and they were all safe and sound, which really made Hao Ren breathe a sigh of relief.
"There is no danger outside, at least we haven't encountered any danger," Nangong Sanba said as soon as he entered the door. "Those 'ancients' seem to live in their own time and space. Although they have some connection with the real space, they basically don't understand it.
respond to stimuli other than their own time and space.”
Nangong Wuyue followed her brother. After entering the door, she changed her shoes and said, "We went to the city center. It was covered by a virgin forest. There were only two floors of shops left in the White Stone Building. Above it was an area that looked like an elf village.
There is a small town in the forest, inhabited by a strange race of people who are thin and small."
Hao Ren greeted them: "Come in first, let's summarize the collected information."
Everyone sat down around the coffee table. Hao Ren first looked at Lolisa. When they were divided into groups, everyone was in groups of two. Only Lolisa went out alone to investigate the situation, and she was very confident in her own strength.
In addition, she is not familiar with exploring with others, so she readily accepts this arrangement. She has a wealth of magical knowledge, and as an elf with keen senses, she should be able to use various incredible spells to discern everything.
No one can be better than her in this regard, so Hao Ren wanted to know what this "Elven Queen" thought first.
"First of all, everyone should have used their own methods to verify that all 'phantoms' are actually real," Lorissa nodded, "even though they look very inconsistent, and their responses to external stimuli are not realistic enough.
, but from a material point of view, they are all real. Secondly, I found that all mutations are randomly distributed. I am not very clear about the historical structure of your planet, but I can see that those 'things' should come from different eras.
Different from different cultural circles, their distribution outside is irregular, and the 'interleaving and nesting' between them is very rigid, and they are basically shoehorned into each other. In the end, I guess that the appearance of all these things is not a magical effect.
"
"Isn't it a magical effect?" Yzaks asked with some suspicion.
"I didn't sense any magic fluctuations," Lorissa turned her head, "I released my mental power to a height close to the top of the atmosphere, and then conducted a wide-area scan downwards, so I can be sure that those things that suddenly appeared were not using magic.
Made, they should be a more advanced form of existence."
"A more advanced form of existence..." Hao Ren touched his chin, "Does it directly replace the real world..."
Lily didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Hao Ren waved his hand: "Nothing, let's continue."
After Lorissa finished speaking her opinion, everyone began to exchange what they saw and heard outside. Soon the results of the investigations from all parties were summarized and analyzed by the data terminal. One person observed the totality of things.
There are some things that have been overlooked, but after so many people brainstormed, some regular things gradually became clear. The data terminal summarized a few points:
"First of all, as Lorissa mentioned, the distribution of all mutations is irregular and quite random, and it is not a magical effect."
The data terminal was floating in the air, projecting various images as it spoke. There were images it recorded with Hao Ren outside, as well as images just sent back from the remote detectors, which had already started at this moment.
Active in the Americas.
"Secondly, based on the information sent back by the remote detector, we can basically be sure that this change has affected the whole world. Now the entire earth has been shrouded in this 'real phantom', and even there is a tower full of hangings on the South Pole.
The icy Tower of Babel, a probe just captured a Poseidon swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, we are already deep in this weird dream-like scene.
"Secondly, the house we live in and the small area around the house seem to have become a 'safety island'. Although the changes outside are fierce, they have not affected the fifteen meters extending outward from our home...
…”
Lorissa interjected: "I think this is because of the power of God. After all, Hao Ren is the Pope, and this place is blessed as the Papal Palace."
Hao Ren coughed twice: "I think what you said makes sense."
The data terminal shook its body vigorously in the air, attracting everyone's attention again: "Listen to this unit first. According to the intelligence collected outside, after the mutation occurred, the normal people who originally lived in this world
' are also becoming abnormal. Perhaps the overlapping phantoms of various time and space have caused them to undergo similar mutations. They are now living in an isolated time and space, and they seem to know nothing about the changes around them. This machine does not know
How long can this 'protective response' last, but I'm afraid everything on the entire planet has been 'isolated' like this, except for us."
Lily folded her arms involuntarily: "Why do I sound so scary?"
Nangong and his wife stood up: "We have a problem: we moved out a while ago. We were not living in this 'safe house' when the mutation happened, but it seems that we are not affected now."
ah."
Nangong Wuyue also reacted immediately: "Yes, why are our parents okay? They were outside at the time..."
"Is it because I'm close to you?" Hao Ren scratched his face, "Is it because I'm an auspicious person?"
"Don't be narcissistic. It's because the two of them have also been exposed to the power of Chief Raven and have been blessed." The data terminal ruthlessly interrupted Hao Ren's random thoughts, "This machine speculates on divinity or power related to divinity.
It can resist this mutation. On the other hand, this mutation may also be related to divinity... However, the information in this area is still slightly insufficient, so let’s not jump to conclusions blindly.”
"Can people who have been in contact with ravens resist mutations?" Hao Ren suddenly thought of many other people, "If you say this, there are probably many people who remain normal! Hasselblad White Fire Seasanna, Yagyu Zhaoxi, etc.
King Kong... these people may be fine, but are they confused now?"
"...It's also possible," the data terminal obviously ignored this problem just now, "but we can't contact these people now. Because of global changes, the space-time structure has been 'stratified', and people who remain normal are actually isolated in
It is outside the main time and space, so the original communication methods on the earth must have been paralyzed, at least normal people including us cannot use it."
"Landlord, there is really no signal." Lily said, shaking the phone in her hand.
"These people can be put aside for now," Yzaks said in a rough voice, "The key thing now is that we still haven't figured out how this mutation happened, and we haven't found anything related to Vivian.
clue."
Hao Ren frowned: "I think this mutation itself is a clue related to Vivian."
Yzaks looked over: "What do you mean?"
"Have you noticed that the chaotic 'space-time phantoms' outside are all from the period from the mythical age to the present, and there is nothing beyond this time period, such as dinosaurs and the like."
After his reminder, others immediately reacted. Nangong Sanba nodded repeatedly: "That's right. The earliest things we see are from ten thousand years ago. Animals and plants earlier than that are completely invisible."
Nangong Wuyue scratched his hair: "But I saw a saber-toothed tiger. Isn't that something from the same era as the dinosaurs..."
"The extinction time of saber-toothed tigers was about 10,000 years ago, which means that when Vivian first arrived here, saber-toothed tigers were indeed active on the earth." It was Nangong Wudi who spoke this time. He spoke while looking at
He glanced at Wuyue and said, "I usually read more books. Your brother is better than you in this area..."
May:"……"
"In other words, the changes outside are all things in the bat's memory?" Lily's eyes widened, "Things she has never experienced will not appear in the phantom?"
"It's very possible... no, the scope should be wider," Hao Ren said thoughtfully, "A person's memory will be limited to his perspective, so the scope of the scenes reproduced through memory is limited, and the scope of the space-time phantoms outside
It's obviously too big. But one thing is certain, from the timeline, this change is consistent with Vivian's memory range."
As a writer, Lily's imagination instantly expanded: "So Vivian has lost her memory for many years. Is this a blowout recovery?"
Hao Ren must admit that although this is too imaginative, every time her imaginative words always make people feel that there is some truth in it.
And just when he was about to follow Lily's idea, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in his spiritual world, and then Raven 12345's voice rang:
