Chapter 707 Dreamland
No matter what happens to the supernatural races on Earth, life has to go on.
The Nangong couple's small restaurant has begun to operate normally. After the chaos of the first two days, the couple seemed to have accumulated some experience and gradually became more comfortable with their work. The chaos and mistakes like the first day gradually decreased, even though We can handle it even if there are fewer helpers. Now Nangong Wuyue and his brother and sister have gone over to help every day as if they were at work, while the rest of the family would go over to have a look when they have free time. In their free days, everyone has found ways to kill time.
Vivian used her own methods (actually mainly asking Hesiana to help) to contact some old friends from the past. As more and more information is gathered, everyone can now basically determine the "innate hostility" between the aliens. "The phenomenon is receding globally. Ignoring race, ignoring distance, and ignoring the living environment, it is like some kind of automatic program that has set a time. After aliens have been hostile to each other for tens of thousands of years, this "thinking plug-in" that has caused all races to become natural enemies of each other began to be uninstalled at the same time. . Vivian confirmed the thoughts of most of the existing ancient ones. As she expected, the old guys who have survived from the mythical era to this day are very smart and cautious. They have begun to pay attention to the movements of various hidden families in the world to prevent An uncontrollable situation suddenly broke out. After Vivian, the most qualified alien, came forward to organize it, the ancients agreed to keep in touch to jointly cope with the subsequent changes in the situation.
To be honest, the gradual disappearance of hostile instincts is even more stressful than the original "return prophecy", because the latter was just an illusory sentence from beginning to end, and it did not fundamentally change the alien's biggest weakness-division and Internal friction, but the current situation is a real phenomenon right in front of everyone, and it is developing rapidly in a completely uncontrollable situation. This will inevitably give people a great sense of urgency.
Vivian had another phone call with Hesiana today. After she hung up, Hao Ren muttered next to her: "It's funny, at the beginning we always thought it would be great if all the races on the earth could end their fighting and the world would be peaceful. But now that this is really about to happen, everyone is as nervous as if there is going to be a world war."
"Because there is no peace in the world at all," Vivian sighed in confusion, "I wanted to end the wars between the various races on the earth, but I didn't think of using this method... The changes have reached an uncontrollable level, and the balance will be broken, and similar situations throughout the ages have only brought chaos.”
Lily was holding a notebook and checking information nearby. When she heard the two talking, she raised her head and muttered: "In this situation, if the aliens really get together and want to restart the mythical age, there will really be a world war - the third time. The world war took place between aircraft, artillery and magician legions, eh, it’s quite interesting to think about it, isn’t it?”
Vivian glanced at her sideways: "Isn't it a pleasant topic to have some control over your mind once in a while?"
Lily gritted her teeth: "Is there something wrong with my quick thinking as a writer?"
"I have already reported this situation," Hao Ren said while pressing Lily's hair to calm her down. "Raven said she doesn't care about this... and let me handle it with full authority."
"I had already guessed this answer," Vivian said with no surprise on her face. "After all, her duty is only to maintain the balance of the entire universe... Let's figure out our own solutions to regional issues."
Yzaks put down the newspaper with a thoughtful look on his face: "I have been thinking about a question: What is the nature of innate hostility?"
"There is innate hostility between alien species, and there is hunting instinct and natural enemy induction between demon hunters and alien species. These phenomena are basically the same thing, and similar situations in nature on earth are usually caused by biological information. "It's caused by pheromones," Lily raised her head and explained with a serious face, "But I don't think it's that simple among heterogeneous species... Many supernatural races come from different planets in the dream plane, not to mention pheromones, some are connected All five senses are incompetent.”
Hao Ren looked at Lily in surprise: "You know a lot?"
"Nonsense, I'm just too lazy to speak when I don't need to use my own brain," Lily rolled her eyes, "Seriously, I am the most educated person here - I graduated from Peking University several times! "
Hao Ren was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot: "What the hell, how many times have you graduated? What are you doing?!"
"The world was in chaos at that time, so just find a place to stay," Lily curled her lips, "Don't look at me like this, I had a lot of energy back then."
Hao Ren looked at Lily doubtfully, instinctively feeling that this guy was bragging, but he didn't dare to really make this conclusion: after all, no matter how unreliable the person in front of him was, he had lived from a hundred years ago to the present, in that era of chaos. A person who can prosper, with her ability, if she is really determined, Bao Buqi can really rise to the level of a social celebrity in that era, and go down to the three religions and nine schools to build a large group of forces...
What's more, Lily back then thought of herself as a werewolf, which is completely different from the current state where she opens the door to a new world after knowing that she is a husky.
Thinking of this, Hao Ren didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and abruptly changed the subject: "Why do you think this innate enemy suddenly disappeared?"
"It may be related to our activities in the dream plane, but it may also be..." Y'zaks frowned, "I don't know if I'm overthinking it. I also suspect that this is a countdown."
Everyone said in unison: "Countdown?"
"The aliens suddenly developed innate hostility after they came to Earth. When we discussed it before, didn't we all agree that this was because someone had tampered with their blood?" Yzaks nodded, "If it is man-made, Yes, then the current phenomenon may also be part of some kind of 'plan'. This may be a countdown that lasts for ten thousand years, or it may be that some condition has been met recently, triggering some kind of switch in the alien bloodline... Anyway, , it doesn’t look like a natural phenomenon.”
Vivian nodded slightly: "I will notify a few old friends and ask them to monitor several big families and also investigate any suspicious actions of aliens and demon hunters recently to see if they are among ancient ruins. Something like that was triggered. If not...then it can only be interpreted as a countdown."
Hao Ren groaned and looked up at his watch. It was now half past two in the afternoon, but he felt sleepy coming over him: "Yawn...you guys should be busy first. I'll go back and catch up on my sleep, and try to get up before dinner..."
Vivian glanced at him: "Why are you sleeping at this hour?"
"I've been having some insomnia lately. I barely slept last night," Hao Ren waved his hand and walked toward the room, "Now take advantage of the sleepiness to get some sleep."
After Hao Ren entered the room, Lily seemed to mutter to herself: "The landlord seems to have been suffering from insomnia these past two days, right?"
"Maybe it's because of the greater pressure. After all, no matter what happens, he is the only one running in front." Vivian glanced at the door, "Unfortunately, the soothing spells are useless to him... I'll do it later." Let’s go find some herbs.”
Hao Ren didn't know that there would be another medicinal meal waiting for him at night. He was already lying on the bed trying to fall asleep. Maybe it was because he was under a lot of pressure, or maybe it was just because he was in poor condition recently. In short, he had been suffering from insomnia symptoms for three days in a row.
Every night is a light, dreamless sleep. Halfway through sleep, it's as if the brain is wrapped in a hazy yet persistent fog. The brain is filled with fragmented information, unable to stay in the state of half-asleep and half-awake. He extricated himself, but it was rare that he had enough sleep today. Hao Ren felt that his insomnia might finally be over.
He lay on the bed, raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the data terminal lying on the bedside table: "I am going to sleep, please protect the law."
"Protect you, uncle."
It looked like the terminal was in good condition - this was Hao Ren's last thought before falling into a dream.
The next moment, he was awakened by a huge explosion and a burst of gunfire.
Hao Ren suddenly opened his eyes and found that in front of him was not the familiar bedroom scene, but an unfamiliar old street riddled with holes. Collapsed buildings and walls damaged by explosions could be seen in all directions. The road was covered with craters and debris. , looks like a war scene.
Explosions and gunshots came from a distance.
The sight in front of him was shocking, but Hao Ren was not stunned. More than a year of training had an effect. He immediately found a nearby bunker to hide, and at the same time began to distinguish whether the surrounding scene was reality or a dream.
