Chapter 535 Confused Memory

What is recorded in this manuscript is not ancient magic, nor is it a lost treasure. In fact, it is a rough and highly compressed diary, which Vivian has recorded intermittently since thousands of years ago. The main content is: Every time she falls asleep and wakes up, as well as some of her most impressive experiences during her activities in the world. Since some of the contents at the beginning of the manuscript are supplementary memories, its records can actually be traced back to more than 10,000 years ago - or even further, because at the beginning of the manuscript, the scene of the end of the Quaternary Ice Age appeared, 10,000 years ago. This is just a conservative estimate.

But Vivian herself has completely forgotten this thing. If she is not lucky enough to meet Paul again, I am afraid that these irreproducible and precious information will be lost forever. Thinking of this, even Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat for her: This girl's memory is really disturbing.

Sleeping and resurrecting again and again, with these key events as nodes, the manuscript records the experiences and experiences of an immortal person over the past ten thousand years along a vague timeline. The features of the earth's primitive prehistoric period can be seen from those ancient texts, and those ancient gods and demons that have disappeared with the end of the mythical era also frequently appear between the lines.

Hao Ren's thoughts seemed to slowly drift back to the ignorant era of mankind with Vivian's voice - to the earth, it only happened not long ago, but to mankind, it was already unverifiable ancient times. At that time, humans were still barbaric creatures who lived in caves. The earth was ruled by ancient beasts and the infinite power of nature. Ancient aliens with god-like power ruled the entire world. Most of them had not even thought of wanting to fight. Establishing divine authority in human society - however, their activities have deeply affected the primitive people at that time, so the human beings at that time developed the most simple and ignorant primitive belief in gods. They confuse various natural phenomena with those alien beings who can control wind and rain, and classify them as primitive gods. At that time, Vivian was walking aimlessly in the world. On certain occasions and times, she was even one of those primitive gods.

But she never walked in the world for too long each time: inexplicable sleepiness always troubled her.

The records on the manuscript continue, and now there are the sprouts of human civilization. For Vivian back then, this was an interesting phenomenon:

"... I woke up in an underground crack. The stone chamber I was in during my slumber was intact, but it had sunk deep underground. It seemed that I had suffered an earthquake during my slumber. Fortunately, I did not fall into the underground magma. It was spring on the surface. And it became strange again. What I thought was a large lake has now become a grassland, and the nearby soil has become very fertile. Human beings grazing are found. They no longer wear animal skins, and their villages have become very rich. Big changes - some houses, built of stone and wood, they seem to be growing very quickly. The clothes I'm wearing are getting very worn, and using magic to maintain them seems less and less necessary, maybe something can be gained from humans...

"Also, I found the lithograph I left before I fell asleep near the place where I fell asleep. It still recorded the bad mood before I went to bed last time. This is really strange. I have no memory of it. But I decided to put it as usual. Transcribe these notes as they are, they may come in handy in the future.

"Moving along a river, we discovered more fertile land and larger human settlements. It's amazing that they could thrive on such a large scale in the wilderness. There must be something that helped them fend off the threats around them. , humans can deal with beasts in groups, but they can't deal with my kind... I went up the river and found the protectors of humans. They were old friends, Amon and Osiris. They were protecting a human kingdom, this It's strange, but also very gratifying. Their attitude towards humans is better than other people of my kind... I think of Zeus and... well, it should be Hela? Or Hera. That couple I met back then. They seem to have similar thoughts, but I don't know where they live now. Maybe I should go find them. My strength has recovered well, and it's a good time to embark on a journey.

"...I couldn't find Mr. and Mrs. Zeus because I lost my way in a strange place illuminated by the red moonlight. I was in a irritated mood. There were villains everywhere who were hostile to me. No matter how many I killed, it would not help. I could only let my anger get worse. The acting is getting more intense... Maybe there is some kind of illusion here, no matter what, sleep is coming, and I must continue to sleep."

Hao Ren frowned, as if he found some concerning doubts between the lines, but Vivian just continued to translate:

"...When I woke up in the water, I may have been soaked for a long time. It seems that I encountered some changes while sleeping. An underground river poured in. The world is always changing, and no matter where you sleep, it is not 100% safe. , even if you can bury yourself underground to avoid harassment from other people and animals, it will be difficult to deal with geological changes after all. I found the notes I left before I fell asleep last time, which also wrote about fighting with people and being impatient. But as always, I have no recollection of the strange emotions of that period, and can only temporarily believe that they happened. I now have a new way of taking notes, and I can record everything on those slates and rags. Copied to the veil given to me by Horus.

"Remembering the previous plan, I set out to find Zeus and Hera. I remembered that they settled on a high mountain. According to the direction of the stars, I should still be able to find them. I hope the stars will not change too much.

"...I was very happy to find the Zeus couple. They and I were very happy. The humans they sheltered were also very prosperous. Those humans even built huge stone cities and wonders. Although those buildings had no magic power, they were almost as large as temples. ...It seems that Poseidon is a little dissatisfied with this. He doesn't like to see humans capable of building wonders like gods.

"... In my spare time, I sorted out some previous records. I felt very confused about my sleeping and waking up. Others - including those werewolves and undead, did not have the experience of sleeping as many times as I did. I found some patterns... "

"Some rules..." Vivian put down the manuscript temporarily, her expression slightly ugly, "Landlord, why do I feel weird?"

Hao Ren had long felt that there was something strange between the lines in this manuscript, but those things were vague and difficult to grasp. He touched his chin and looked at Vivian: "You can't remember anything about this manuscript?"

"I have no impression at all," Vivian frowned, "But according to the scattered information revealed in the manuscript, although I have forgotten some of the things recorded in it during my previous slumbers, there will always be a little bit of incompleteness left. memory, so I could later supplement the manuscript based on those incomplete memories. But during my last deep sleep... I simply forgot all of this, even the manuscript itself."

"The last time I fell asleep... was after fighting the angry spirit three hundred years ago," Hao Ren looked at Vivian, "That was the most 'serious' time, and the memory you lost happened to be the most crucial part. : You have forgotten this 'diary' that you have recorded continuously for ten thousand years."

Vivian looked at the manuscript. The simple pictures on it recorded what she had seen on earth during certain periods, but more of them were all kinds of weird and monster-like "creatures". Vivian must go through a battle before falling asleep every time. She destroys those monsters in her irritability and anger, and then she will fall into a deep sleep due to "sleep attack". Before that, she will destroy the monsters of her enemies. The image seems to be drawn so that I can wake up and recognize it, so that I can be vigilant as soon as I encounter these monsters next time.

Looking at those strange paintings, Vivian thought softly and said softly: "According to my summary, there are two types of sleep: one is when you have nothing to do - or when you are poor and about to starve to death. Next, I voluntarily chose to enter a deep sleep to survive the hard days. This kind of sleep is controllable and seems to have no sequelae. After waking up, I will only lose a small part of my memory or no memory at all, and my physical strength will not be significantly weakened. . But what is recorded in the manuscript is exactly the second situation: sleepiness comes over me and I have to sleep."

Hao Ren looked into Vivian's eyes: "After this uncontrollable sleepiness, you will lose a lot of memory, and your body will be extremely weak after you wake up?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure," Vivian waved her hands in confusion. "The most difficult thing for an amnesiac is to confirm what he has forgotten. But I do know many of the details mentioned in this manuscript. I can’t remember, and I did feel extremely weak after waking up from a deep sleep a few times..."

"Including this latest time," Hao Ren tapped the table with his knuckles, "your last deep sleep was after you eliminated the angry spirit. It was also an uncontrollable dormancy caused by sleepiness, so you are in a weak state now?"

Vivian looked at herself: "But I feel like I'm quite energetic."

"Don't make trouble, people feel that they have great advantages before sudden death."

"... Landlord, you really don't know how to speak."

Hao Ren coughed twice: "Ahem, that's pretty much what it means anyway. Anyway, I don't know if you've noticed a detail: in the records of this manuscript, you will experience the same thing every time before you get sleepy!" "

Vivian's eyes narrowed: "I noticed it, manic, angry, inexplicable arguments with people, and... fierce battles with someone I don't know. I have never seen the enemies mentioned above, and these paintings seem to be... Very strange."

"But the manuscript was indeed written by you," Hao Ren stared into Vivian's eyes, "Are you sure you can't remember this part? Even the last time you fell asleep was three hundred years ago, did you have this at that time? Can’t you remember the phenomenon?”
