Despite all the preparations in advance and the "secret" assistance provided by Raven 12345, Hao Ren still fainted without any accident after reading the "Bible", but this time the duration of coma was shorter: he was
I woke up in time for dinner.
As soon as he woke up, he saw Vivian standing next to him, looking like she had been waiting for a long time, while Doudou was lying on his chest. The baby fish had fallen asleep, curled up into a cute little ball, with its tail
Occasionally, I unconsciously patted his chest once or twice, as if he was dreaming.
"Are you awake?" Vivian saw Hao Ren open his eyes and immediately showed a soft smile, "If I hadn't experienced it once, I would have been shocked again. I checked your body in May, and you are mentally exhausted.
It’s a bit big, but the situation is much better than last time. Is there anything else uncomfortable?”
"...I think I may have believed in a fake God, taken a fake artifact, and read a fake oracle..." Hao Ren rubbed his head, "Damn it, only half of the reason why I fainted this time was due to my mental power.
Exhausted, the other half of the reason is most likely due to anger..."
Vivian looked at Hao Ren curiously: "What did you see in that sacred book?"
It's a shame that this girl is still calling that cheating big black book the "divine book" with awe.
"It's nothing," Hao Ren thought for a while and decided to tell what he saw. Anyway, even the pope dared to curse God, so why worry about his little friend losing his faith? What's more, Vivian didn't even
If you don't believe in any gods, "It says on it that if the Goddess of Creation is really completely corrupted by the Lord of Madness and we happen to meet her, we will take out the Bible and hit her on the head until she wakes up..."
Vivian: "...How about you sleep a little longer?"
Hao Ren: "...I'm awake."
"Well, it seems you are not joking," Vivian said with a dumbfounded expression, "I have spent so much effort to see just such a sentence. It is really a big loss for you to take action this time."
"It can't be said that, apart from this huge cheating 'oracle', there are still real gains," Hao Ren shook his head and turned to look at the big black book lying quietly on the bedside table next to him: He was in the living room.
He fainted, but now it seems that Vivian moved him to the bedroom and brought this book with him. "I passed the test of this artifact. Now... I should be able to use part of its power to some extent."
Already."
As his words fell, the big black book also made a slight sound as if it was inspired, and the sinister-looking black iron chain on the spine also started to sway, filling with energy.
Fierce fighting spirit.
Hao Ren: "..."
Speaking of which, if this thing is inspired by a Bible, the normal reaction would be to at least get some holy light even if it is not to open a scripture! What the hell is the rattling iron chain! So the setting of this thing is just a
Meteor hammer, right?
Feeling the vague connection between the Bible and his own spiritual world, Hao Ren decisively took it back into his personal space and covered half of his face with his hands: "I have decided not to do it again unless necessary."
Touching this thing and communicating with this book will ruin your outlook more than swearing at Raven 12345."
Following his movements and words, Dou Dou, who was sleeping on his chest, finally woke up. When the little mermaid saw that Hao Ren was fine, she screamed happily and jumped over with her tail, making a snapping sound.
A fish hit Hao Ren on the face: "Dad is awake! Is dad okay?"
A fish flapping in his face would definitely make anyone scramble, even Hao Ren. After struggling for a long time, he finally grabbed Doudou's slippery tail and lifted the little guy upside down.
: "How many times have I told you not to jump in other people's faces? Do you know how many people have psychological shadows caused by facehuggers..."
The little guy twisted around in mid-air: "But Doudou is a fish!"
"...The same goes for the facehugger." Hao Ren sat up and handed the little guy to Vivian next to him. "This child is growing up too fast. How can a three-year-old child be so logical and clear-minded?"
"You're wrong. Two hours after I was born, I went to the Purgatory Planet to save a wave of worlds. Genius children don't care about their age..."
Hao Ren: "..."
I always feel that Vivian has become more and more happy recently after shedding all those psychological burdens. Is it an illusion?
When Hao Ren returned to the living room, he saw Gun lying on the sofa with a ball of yarn gnawing at it, while Lily was squatting in front of the TV, clicking through the channels. The others were nowhere to be found: they probably ran to Nangong and his wife.
I went to the restaurant to eat. Looking at the current time, Vivian should be taking care of herself and not bothering to cook. The hungry people at home will naturally go out to find food for themselves when they have no food.
Lily and Gun, these two are not only greedy but also hypocritical, they are probably just waiting here to wait for Vivian to cook.
Sure enough, as soon as Vivian appeared, Lily jumped over and shouted exaggeratedly: "Bat, bat! Go and cook! Go and cook! I'm going to starve to death!"
"You're so loud when you're about to starve to death," Vivian glared at the husky girl and muttered as she walked to the kitchen, "Don't you know you have to find something to eat first? You've been really naughty by eating ribs all day long."
Lily made a face at Vivian's back: "rua"
Then she turned to Hao Ren and giggled: "I knew you were fine, you are as strong as me. By the way, have you seen the revelation?"
Hao Ren's lips twitched, he really didn't want to recall what he saw again...
After finishing the meal, Hao Ren took out the data terminal and began to continue studying the messy historical data. At the same time, he was ready to understand the intelligence sent by various monitoring stations set up in the Dream Plane.
While browsing the observation records marked as key points, he asked casually: "By the way, have you seen the star map projected by the red moon before?"
"Of course, this machine has already archived the star map, but you also know that there are too many missing things in the star map. Even with the performance of this machine, it is impossible to complete it out of thin air, so you must not think about it.
Just use that incomplete star map to forcibly open a map in the dream plane. The interstellar racing gang that runs around without looking at the star map has to know how many overturns they make every year..."
"I know, I'm not stupid," Hao Ren waved his hand, "I just want you to compare that star map with the various star maps we have collected so far. Maybe you can find some overlap, so
At least we can determine which galaxy the star map in Vivian's memory roughly points to."
The data terminal shook its body up and down: "Oh, that's no problem. But to be honest, this computer doesn't think this is meaningful. The star map is different from ordinary maps. It describes more than just three-dimensional space.
, also includes the trajectory of this three-dimensional space under the time scale. Without knowing the transformation guidance data, it is almost impossible for two star maps to overlap... Beep beep beep beep beep beep?!"
Hao Ren was startled by the strange sound that suddenly came from the data terminal: "What's wrong with you! Why did you suddenly become the dubbing voice of a science fiction movie from the 1980s?"
"...This machine found an overlapping..."
Hao Ren blinked, and it took him two seconds to realize what the data terminal meant: "What the hell?"
"Obviously you asked me to find it, so why are you more surprised than me to find it now?"
"You searched too fast! Just now, you threw out a lot of theories saying that it was impossible to find overlapping star maps. Before you even finished saying that, you found out what the hell one was!" Hao Ren looked at the data terminal.
His eyes looked like he was seeing a ghost, "Could it be that you have found it a long time ago and are just waiting for this time to scare me?"
The data terminal shook its body disdainfully and changed the picture on the holographic projection: "You can see for yourself that this machine is so full that I am making this joke to you."
Two star maps immediately appeared in front of Hao Ren.
With his strong skills of Navigation Level 5, Starship Introduction Level 5, and Blind Guessing Level 99+, Hao Ren could almost see at first glance that the two star maps overlapped by at least one-third...
No, not just overlap.
One-third of them overlap, and the remaining parts... actually complement each other!
Together they form a complete star map!
"...Where did that other star map come from?" Hao Ren looked at this incredible scene and couldn't help but muttered to himself and asked, "How could it be such a coincidence..."
"Do you still remember the Purgatory Star? When we were looking for the entrance to the Cave of the Eldest Son, we found the ruins of the Sun Dynasty." The memory of the data terminal was indeed much better than Hao Ren. "In the ruins of the Sun Dynasty, we activated the seal of the Great Pyramid.
During the operation of the pyramid, a star map was projected in the sky. We always thought that the star map indicated the original coordinates of the Purgatory Star when it was in the dream plane. You also specially sent a group of drones to search for that star in the depths of the universe.
The corresponding location on the star map...but I haven't found even a hair."
Hao Ren looked incredulous: "That star map is..."
"Yes, that star map is the missing second part. It and the star map projected by the red moon can complement each other. After recombining the two star maps, this machine completed the restoration of the original star map...
"
As the voice of the data terminal fell, the holographic projection in mid-air began to change again, the two star maps merged together, and all star paths and navigation beacons began to shine at each node.
Hao Ren was still a little confused: "Wait a minute, this is wrong. The star map we saw on Purgatory was not defective. It looked quite complete. Otherwise, I would not have sent a swarm of drones to search for the star map.
It’s marked on the map. How could it be the fragment of another star map?”
"This is because part of it is hidden," the data terminal said while making the holographic projection continuously change. "The missing part of the star map is folded and hidden in a bunch of meaningless coordinates and transformation rules.
At first we thought they were garbled codes produced by the Sun Dynasty in the process of saving or making star maps due to insufficient technology. However, in the process of comparing the two star maps, this machine found a way to expand these 'garbled codes'.
, and this is the result.”
The two star maps merge into one, indicating a mysterious place deep in the dream plane universe.
