Chapter 1466 - New Entrants (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the steppe where space and time stood still, the gray moonlight shone on the broken earth, which was only a few hundred meters across. The surrounding darkness stagnated, making the small parcel of land look like a lonely island floating in the sea of chaos. Vivian was now fully awake, sitting with her legs crossed on the grass. Her face appeared calm.
“I had a long, long dream,” Vivian said. “I dreamed of being super wealthy, living in a super large castle with gorgeous decorations. I had many treasures, rooms filled with gold and silver. There were two beautiful gardens, in which the number of sculptures could fill the Louvre several times over. Sigh.”
Lily rolled her eyes. “Yeah, that’s right. You were indeed dreaming.”
Vivian sighed again. “So, the outside world is already in a mess?”
Vivian learned about the sequence of events from Hao Ren and knew about his efforts to save the situation. She even knew that Hao Ren had successfully awakened her once. After waking up in the Siberian snow land, Vivian had entered into the deepest part of the distorted space and time. Right then, at that point in time, she did not have her memories from Siberia.
“A mess is an understatement.” Hao Ren shrugged. “I have no idea how long the sandbox can hold up, so I have to find you in various times of history. So far, I’ve only gone back 600 years in the past. It’s a small step when compared with your entire 10,000-year history.”
“I believe that you can do it.” Vivian just smiled at Hao Ren and nodded affirmatively.
There was no overly polite gratefulness, unnecessary words of encouragement nor emotional expression. Vivian just believed that Hao Ren could pull it off and told what was in her mind.
Vivian then looked at Lily again. “Doggie, I am pleasantly surprised that you have come to help.”
“Bah, I have overeaten. This is a good opportunity for me to burn some calories.” The husky maiden looked away while wagging her tail. “It looks like age has finally caught up with you. Look at you, you almost buried yourself in your dream. You owe me a favor for saving your life. I’m telling you, you may not be able to repay me even if you cook me braised pork ribs for the rest of your life.”
“I got it. Braised pork ribs. I’ll let you eat until you drop.” Vivian laughed. She then got to her feet with light motion and came up to Hessiana, who had frozen in gray. Her eyes moved from Hessiana to Hasse, and finally Baptiste, whose expression was frozen in time. “The little girl and the Hasse of 600 years ago—I suddenly miss them. If I’m not mistaken, the two of them will enter this space and time after I’m gone, right?”
“Not entirely true, but it is their consciousness that will enter their bodies in history.” Hao Ren shrugged. “Those guys are playing mahjong and watching TV on the outside. I’d feel sorry for Raven 12345 for providing them the free mahjong if I don’t make them work like donkeys here.”
“Maybe you should also be worried about how to explain to Hasse about the bumps on his head,” said Vivian with a wry smile before looking at Baptiste.
“This human wizard… I am surprised to see this fellow at this point in time. But I have no impression of him at all.”
Hao Ren could not help but curiously asked, “I have just wanted to ask, how did Baptiste wake you up and lead you here? Were you not supposed to be hibernating in the cemetery? How come it was a Malevolence that slept in here?”
“Baptiste must have come for the sole purpose of waking me up,” Vivian said. “As for why I was not in the cemetery but a Malevolence was in my place instead…”
Hao Ren was all the more curious when Vivian paused and appeared embarrassed. “What happened?” He asked.
“I must have been sleepwalking most likely.”
Hao Ren and Lily were stupefied.
“I knew that you all would have this reaction.” Vivian blushed. “I was only sleepwalking. It was no big deal!”
“But you must be the first person in the world who could sleepwalk inside your own dream.” Hao Ren was in disbelief. “Next time I must find you in the real world and am not going to go into your shadowy realm. The world you created in your sleep was almost as weird as the ancient mysterious realms.”
Had it not been for the Malevolence’s sudden appearance, Hao Ren would not have entered the shadowy realm and fought with her Soulless Guards. Instead, he would have blown the place up just as he had done in Siberia.
“Do not worry, you are not going to face trouble like this most of the time. I did not usually set up hibernation places like this for most of my 10,000-year history.” Vivian’s smile was a little awkward. She then changed the topic abruptly. Then again, I cannot recall this farce 600 years ago, especially regarding Baptiste and the Malevolence. My memory’s drawing a blank.”
“You must have forgotten all about it,” Lily said with her arms crossed and squinting at the most ancient vampire. “With the demon hunters having to deal with your Malevolence and Baptiste your TaskRabbit, I could not believe that you have forgotten everything about them. It seems like old age has affected your memory, eh?”
“Shut up, Doggie!” Vivian shot the husky maiden a look.
Vivian then sighed. “But you are not entirely wrong. I have indeed forgotten. My mind is usually a muddle after waking up. I could not really recall what happened during that period.”
Hao Ren was curious. “I wonder what the original history was like had I and Lily not interfere with it.”
“Then you can only find your answer from Hessiana and Hasse.” Vivian laughed. “After all, you know, my memory fails me.”
Vivian’s body gradually faded.
“Ahh, it is time for me to leave.” Vivian looked down at her translucent hands. “It looks like we can only have this much time. The sandbox must be very unstable.”
