Chapter 846 - 32: Wizard World - Hiri’s Psychological Shadow (2)
At that time, everything was fine, no problems arose.
There’s no way that in the more than an hour that I’ve been on the ground, aliens would just suddenly invade, right? That would be too fantastical.
"Ye-Yes, that’s it! I just... I just... seem to have found my world!"
The demon hunter girl looked slightly calmer, she instinctively bit her lip hard, glanced around again, and seemed to realize her inappropriate behavior, giving him an apologetic look, then spoke in a hurried and helpless tone.
"Hmm? Found it?"
Gu Mo was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, found it! I think I can be sure... just now, I was trying to open a new world, without much hope initially, but the scenery shown by the probe was very familiar, I couldn’t help but go over to take a look—"
The demon hunter girl took a deep breath, nodded seriously, and said: "Then, I found that the other side was actually near Vizima, well, I mean... It’s a piece of land in Temeria."
Gu Mo gave her a glance, he actually knew, but Hiri probably had no concept of it. Especially with his legendary level constantly increasing, the achievement badge has evolved to golden quality, and actions affecting and rectifying the world line seem to be increasingly amazing.
So unknowingly, the information of Miss Hiri joined in the team was also revised synchronously.
Like in the real world, could no longer find those narrative creations of the past, and didn’t need much effort; even if Miss Hiri learnt intense self-searching on the internet, she wouldn’t find herself originally a fictional character in this world.
"Isn’t this a good thing? Congratulations, Hiri, finally you found the way home."
Thoughts flashed by, Gu Mo said thoughtfully, anyhow, this is indeed good news.
"It’s indeed a good thing... just, just..."
Hiri pursed her lips and nodded, her expression seemed curious yet slightly anxious: "After coming back, I could no longer find that world..."
Came back, then couldn’t find that world?
Gu Mo quickly thought, this should only be the instance he accessed having a registered record, Hiri herself entering wasn’t counted. Probably the system never treated her as a "player", always positioned her as a functional NPC in the instance hosting.
Just the demon hunter girl herself was completely unaware.
"This isn’t urgent, calm down first..."
He basically sorted through his thoughts, casually glanced around, and casually chose a place: "Let’s sit over there, take your time to talk."
"...Hmm."
Hiri took a deep breath, nodded hard, and instantly felt as though she’d found a pillar of support, calming her heart.
Watching the young man walking in front, she instinctively bit her lower lip, at this moment, she naturally had some vague guesses, fearing her abilities might not be breaking through significantly, but... due to this person’s help.
Too embarrassing, before she was complacent about it...
Now even messed up things completely.
......
Under a parasol, found a table and sat down.
Gu Mo looked directly at the demon hunter girl who had calmed down, and bluntly asked:
"If it’s a world you care about, under selectable circumstances, maintaining the passage first should not be a problem, right? Did something happen, making you hurriedly return and shut the passage?"
He vaguely guessed.
"That’s right..."
Hiri looked at the table, seemingly preoccupied, still involuntarily recalling the recent events, couldn’t help but smiled bitterly while speaking: "I hadn’t been there long when the Mad Hunt Demon Spirit appeared, like before, they were chasing me..."
"Then what?" Gu Mo’s gaze was somewhat strange.
"Then... I ran back." Miss Hiri with silver-white hair reflecting shimmering sunlight, seemed somewhat embarrassed when reacting, spoke with head lowered.
"..."
"..."
"Hmm, I basically understand... it’s understandable."
Gu Mo lightly knocked his forehead, without intentions of overly criticizing, despite the girl undergoing a series of customization enhancements earlier, the nanomachines previously acquired were also shared with her, after all, she was an important navigator, needing matching treatment.
Even without mentioning the prior enhancements, the portion of nanomachines given to her was sufficiently potent.
In the Atlantic Anomaly Zone, everyone like dragons, basically due to blessings from Machina God’s Legacy, so a random ordinary resident could live to eight hundred years, an ordinary citizen in Interstellar City could rival heroic spirits, lifespan limitless, only gods could take their lives.
Largely relying on nanomachines’ enhancements, they also deemed themselves as blessed with "steel of the gods" protection —
This isn’t incorrect, nanomachines should initially supplement the Divine Steel Body technology.
Capable of maintaining the vitality of augmented organisms, also able to repair spirit base of heroic spirits, this nanometer scale application technology was indeed versatile and potent.
However, Miss Hiri probably had a severe psychological shadow left by Mad Hunt chasing, early displaced fleeing experience was indeed engraved deeply, likely a deeply rooted conditioned reflex, so facing other vicious monsters, she could still perform normally —
But when facing Mad Hunt Demon Spirit, despite her enhanced to this degree, her first reaction was tactical retreat, even shut the passage in fastest speed, fearing the pursuers... this reaction probably was a conditioned reflex carved in bone, instinctively choosing, didn’t even consider.
Clearly, let alone projection, even if those entities themselves came over, she should easily vaporize them all into blood and brine.
"The issue shouldn’t be too big, if you can open the passage once back, you can open it twice..." Gu Mo pondered, giving what he thought should be feasible advice, "Try more in the coming days, or maybe your world is approaching this world in the void..."
The demon hunter girl vigorously nodded, though with little confidence in her heart.
It seems a world not traversed by this person, she wouldn’t have the perception, only hoping to encounter again... is there such luck?
The next moment, she felt a waft of fragrance from the side —
Then a figure with long golden hair directly sat beside, with a peculiar gaze, eyes glancing at herself.
This made her momentarily unable to react.
Who is this?!
