Chapter 1461 Cemetery
The gate to the cemetery is right in front of you. As Hesiana said, it is a barrier formed by twisted thorns and roses - this barrier full of weird atmosphere blocks the entrance hall on the north side of the castle. It extends infinitely to both sides and above, as if the entire world is divided into two by this barrier. Logically speaking, it is impossible to hide a barrier of this scale. When everyone was in the courtyard, they should have been able to see it standing in sight. However, in fact, Hao Ren and Lily did not see it until they crossed the hall. The existence of the Wall of Roses.
Obviously, this thing is an abnormal space phenomenon, or it may just be a simple mental illusion.
But looking at the piles of bones piled under the Rose Wall, even a fool would not really think that this thing is just a harmless illusion.
"We have seen this barrier," Hao Ren knew that Hesiana was dealing with the control system of the Soulless Guards, but for the sake of safety he still asked, "Are you sure that you can cross this thing as long as you have a firm mind?" ? Lily and I saw at least two to three hundred skeletons down here, many of which looked like giants... and other super races that were shocking at first glance. These guys seemed to be killed by the thorns. "
In such a pile of bones, Hao Ren didn't think there was even a determined guy among them. And speaking of being determined, he thought that he could be said to be determined after strengthening his mental power, but the husky next to him... Are you kidding that he has both a cat and a dog?
It took Hesana two or three seconds to send a reply: "Hey, so this is the last test - in addition to being determined, you must also ensure that you have no malice in order to pass the barrier, as long as there is the slightest bit of hatred towards Lady Vivian. If you don’t have any malicious intent, don’t even think about entering the cemetery. You two should be fine, right?"
Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that the little bat spirit was still waiting for him here. He patted his chest and said, "Just deal with the Soul Guards. We will go to the cemetery to check the situation. But where are you? We'd better move quickly. If we really fight against Vivian's 'incarnation', we may not be able to gain any benefits. We'll still be waiting for the support of your Revenant Guards."
"Don't worry," Hesiana said in a rather impatient tone, "I'm almost done."
After hanging up the communication, Hao Ren and Lily looked at each other and nodded lightly.
Then the two of them walked towards the wall of roses, which looked coquettish and full of strange and dangerous feelings.
A barrier full of thorns and black roses came towards him. Hao Ren was nervous subconsciously, but then he felt that he had just passed through a curtain of cool water. A breeze blew across his face. When he opened his eyes, he found that He and Lily were already standing on a grassland that theoretically should never appear in the castle.
Color reappears.
The night is low, the moon is high, and the bright moonlight shines on the ground. The green weeds, which can reach the calf, spread on the gentle ground, forming an endless, undulating green field. The grassland under the night seems to be endless. In terms of spatial structure, it has completely transcended the old castle in the shadow world, and is more like a deeper alien space.
This place is very different from the "cemetery" Hao Ren imagined before.
Thinking of this, he looked back and found that the old castle had indeed disappeared. Behind him and Lily there was only a Rose Gate standing alone on the ground, with thorns covered with thorns and blood-red roses intertwined. It has grown into the shape of an arch, and several fireflies are flying around on the arch.
He retracted his gaze and looked for the figure of Vivian - or the evil thought body - on the endless prairie.
But nothing was found.
The prairie was empty, and there was no room for hiding or shelter in the moonlit earth. To be honest, if Vivian or the evil body has really awakened, it is unlikely that they will hide themselves, so everything is the same as Hao Ren calculated before:
Vivian has not awakened, and although the evil body has begun to move, it has not yet completely condensed into a physical entity. This is why there is currently only a gathering of negative energy around Harroun Castle, but no clearly observable disaster has occurred.
"Is this the deepest dream that the big bat has set for himself..." Lily smacked her lips, "Hey, she has obviously never even gone to school, and she is quite literary. I thought she was so poor that all she had left in her mind was It’s a big house… Um, landlord, what do you want me to do?”
Halfway through the husky girl's sigh, she found that Hao Ren was looking at her with a half-smile, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Are you still saying that your relationship with Vivian is not good at this time?" Hao Ren looked at the husky girl who was still unresponsive and couldn't help but smile.
"When did I get on well with that big bat!" Lily suddenly jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail. "Landlord, don't talk nonsense like this out of thin air. I'm telling you! Although I'm hanging out with you now, as a sitcom The late emperor who traveled across the country had principles..."
"No one who has any hostility towards Vivian can pass through the cemetery's barrier," Hao Ren said leisurely, "Okay, let me tell you now."
Lily: "..."
The husky girl was speechless, but as soon as she turned her eyes, she saw Hasselblad being carried on her shoulders, and she became confident again: "Then why is it okay if he comes in with him - although Hasselblad is not specifically for killing this time. The bat came, but now he is six hundred years ago. Can you say that he is not hostile to bats at all? So there is still something wrong with the barrier, and it is not allowed at all..."
Hao Ren curled his lips before the girl finished speaking: "Nonsense, this is what I made you smash into a severe coma. Let alone hostility, look at the difference between him and a vegetative state at this time."
As he was talking here, he saw the old hunter who was being carried on Lily's shoulders suddenly twitched his body again and let out a low groan, indicating that he was about to wake up.
Lily threw Hasselblad down almost reflexively, then held the door panel sword with one hand and grabbed the opponent's collar with the other to take aim. Hasselblad's eyes also opened at the same time. The unlucky old hunter opened his eyes. I saw Lily holding up the door panel with a big sword and preparing to shoot down. I immediately remembered the humiliating experience of being knocked unconscious by this crazy girl over and over again. The psychological shock even somewhat overwhelmed his hunting. Instinct made this old hunter, who had always been serious and rigid, unable to help shouting: "Wait a minute, are you being unreasonable..."
"Hey--"
"Lily, wait!" Hao Ren finally stopped the husky girl at the last second before she smashed the door panel with her sword, "No need to smash it!"
"Eh? Don't you need to be stunned this time?"
"It's time for Hasselblad to stretch his muscles," Hao Ren said, looking around for any abnormalities on the prairie, "Look, Vivian is obviously not awake yet, and the evil mind body is also Not fully awake, this time is different from the last time I violently hacked in a Siberian cave. This time Vivian has obviously arranged her sleeping place more perfectly, so we need expert guidance - Hasselblad, we can cooperate. "
Hasselblad glared at Hao Ren, and then stared at Lily with vigilance and hostility - his hunting instinct was being activated, and in this time and space six hundred years ago, he had not yet gotten rid of that kind of simultaneous entanglement. There was a hostile impulse in the demon hunter's blood and soul, so he immediately discovered the alien identity of the girl in front of him. But the hunting instinct that Lily brought to him was not as strong as that of ordinary werewolves: he could only vaguely perceive that Lily was a supernatural creature of mixed blood, similar to a werewolf, but he could only produce less than a quarter of it in himself. The strong urge to fight made the old hunter have doubts in his heart.
Hao Ren laughed when he saw Hasselblad's reaction. Before the "innate hostility" phenomenon was solved, he asked Lily, Hasselblad and other demon hunters to do tests, which proved that the relationship between the husky spirit and the demon hunters was also the same. There are innate hostile effects, but the intensity is much lower than other normal aliens. This is because Lily is not a complete "alien" in nature. The basis for the innate hostile effects to take effect is "any alien from the dream plane with a different race" "Between Species", and Lily was originally a demon hunter, and later turned into a big dog monster that was mixed from soul to blood. She and the demon hunter became different races, but they were not completely different, which led to Her "aura" would confuse witchers.
In short, this is how the witcher felt when he saw her - he clearly thought she was a werewolf, but why did he feel so powerless when fighting her?
Under normal circumstances, a normally out-of-control demon hunter would definitely be too lazy to think about anything when he saw Lily. Anyway, thousands of years of war in the mythical age have turned demon hunters and all other supernatural creatures into unyielding hostile camps. , when you see someone who looks like prey, you just need to draw a knife and chop it, and you will definitely not be unjust, false or wrong, but now Hasselblad obviously does not meet this condition, so after staring at Lily for a long time, the old hunter still turned his head to Hao Ren: " I don’t think there is any need to cooperate with you, especially after you have done a lot of sneak attacks and conspiracies.”
Lily bared her teeth: "Hasselblad's words in this era are really annoying. The one we know is so polite."
"Why didn't the one we know also fight at the beginning?" Hao Ren waved his hand and squatted down to look at Hasselblad, who was unable to move because he was restrained by the energy restraint device. "Actually, our purpose is the same as yours - to get rid of Wei who is about to go berserk. We can save the world in the hands of Vianne Ancesta, but my method here has a higher success rate. I have to tie you here because I have no choice. After all, normal channels cannot allow you demon hunters to cooperate with outsiders."
Hasselblad seemed to have heard some fantasy-like joke: "Haha, do you think I can cooperate with you like this?"
"It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not, what matters is that you are not stupid," Hao Ren laughed, "You must want to know where I took you - come, take a good tour of this place, this is Vivian The deepest space of sleep. Of course I haven't seen where she is yet, but she must be somewhere here. Now she is about to wake up, and you only have two choices - either we can work together to find a way to comfort her. , or you will be tortured to a pulp by the violent countess while wearing this thing."
