Chapter 766 Dilemma

Gawain slowly opened his eyes, but this time, there was no Amber's face in his sight.

A slight snoring was coming from the side.

Looking down along the sound of snoring, he saw that the half-elf lady with pointy ears was lying on the desk, with her hands under her head, and she had fallen asleep.

This guy, after falling asleep, it makes people quieter.

Gawain couldn't help laughing. As soon as his body shook, Amber, who was sleeping on the table, woke up suddenly, stared at him and said, "Hey, you're back!"

Gao Wen opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, when Amber immediately followed him and shouted: "Hey, let me tell you, I'm not lazy, I just take a nap, you can't deduct my salary for this, I The six senses are sharp, and they are always awake when they fall asleep..."

Gawain: "...I haven't said anything yet."

Sure enough, this guy's quietness is only limited to when he is asleep - as long as his eyes are open, the noise that an amber can make is definitely more than 2,000 ducks.

"I didn't prepare the words in advance to prevent you from saying anything," Amber wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and while muttering, he looked up and down Gawain's eyes, frowning in confusion, "But then again , it's been a long time this time - what happened over there?"

"I went with Daniel to investigate some things." Gawain nodded, and at the same time, he began to replay this experience of exploring the depths of the spiritual network in his mind. Feeling emotional.

This exploration... I have collected too much information, and a lot of information can make him stunned!

"It seems that the harvest this time is not small?" Amber keenly noticed the subtle changes in Gawain's expression, "And some things are quite troublesome?"

Gawain nodded slightly: "The situation is special, and a meeting is needed. It is tentatively scheduled to convene Carmel, Hetty, Wright, Veronica, um... Pitman also called, plus you."

Amber silently wrote down these names, and then immediately noticed that most of them were related to a certain field.

She raised her eyebrows, and the tip of her ear twitched slightly: "Is it related to a god or a disobedient plan?"

"Yeah," Gawain replied briefly, then thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Also, go and investigate, and investigate the abnormal spellcasting signals recorded by the magic monitoring towers all over the southern region recently, especially the signals of dream magic. , In addition, there is monitoring of various types of psychic communication. In addition, there are records of investigation and arrest of Eternal Sleeper believers."

"Eternal sleepers... The eternal sleepers in the southern border have almost been captured by you," Amber felt a little strange for a while, "There are magic monitoring towers all over the place, and the middle and low-level believers are basically tied up by the regional security team as soon as they go out. The water pipes of the Public Security Bureau are on, and you still have 'special methods' on your side. The higher-level believers have either been deported or are under surveillance to collect intelligence - why is there a large-scale investigation all of a sudden?"

"I may have missed an important target," Gawain said with a serious expression, "a soul body, an archbishop of the eternal sleeper is hiding in the southern region!"

As he spoke, the words that once shocked him appeared in his mind:

Selena Gerfen, Archbishop (death), female, spirit body.

Current Location: Ansu/Modification/Cecil Empire-Southern Territory! !

"This goal is no small matter,

Ordinary security team actions are very likely to disturb her, your MIA operations are secretive, which is more suitable,” Gawain took a deep breath and looked into Amber’s eyes, “I’m not sure if you can really find it, but at least try it—she My name is Selena Gerfen..."

...

Somewhere in the Typhon Empire, in an underground ancient facility, footsteps broke the silence in the dim corridor.

A middle-aged man wearing a white robe with a more refined temperament and a monocle walked in the long corridor covered with slate and carved with reliefs on the walls on both sides. A priest of the Eternal Sleeper with a dark robe and an owl mask on his face.

This man is the "Archbishop Yuri" in the real world.

Compared with the "image" in the mind network, Yuri's temperament and clothes in the real world have not changed much, but his image in the mind network is a young man, while in reality, he is middle-aged, A little more white hair on the head.

"Hey... I'm going to rest," Archbishop Yuri couldn't help complaining while walking on the road, "Archbishop Selena, have you forgotten that people in the real world need rest?"

The flickering light suddenly appeared in the air, and the figure of Selena Gerfen appeared beside Yuri, the female archbishop in a long white dress said indifferently: "You have enough sleep time - in the current situation Now, too much rest is a waste."

Yuri couldn't help but looked beside him, and sighed helplessly.

He knew that Selena Gerfen was not actually in this corridor, not in this facility.

She's not even in this world anymore.

As early as hundreds of years ago, the former saint of the church had been martyred. In the chain reaction that led to the collapse of faith, she used her life to protect the mind and soul of thousands of members of the church. , the body was torn apart by the power of the gods, and the soul was torn apart.

It was Pope Megall III who personally took action to collect the broken soul of Selena Geer and store it in some kind of "container" at the dream level.

To this day, the archbishop's soul is still transferred between containers, and her consciousness is wandering in the spiritual network.

At this moment, Selena in front of Yuri, and Selena in the eyes of several Eternal Sleeper priests behind him are actually just projections in their minds - this projection is so real that even as a high-level peak Extraordinary, Yuri is also difficult to distinguish the illusory place of the woman in front of him, the voice, the smell, the light and shadow and the color... everything is so real.

But if there is a person who is completely unaffected by spiritual magic standing here, he will see that there are actually only Yuri and a few high-level priests wearing masks in the corridor, and there is no so-called female archbishop at all.

"You're right, there's really no time to rest now," Archbishop Yuri shook his head, looking forward, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "This crisis is no trivial matter, if the truth is as you and I guess... ...then we definitely made a nearly irreparable mistake."

At the end of the long corridor, a door depicting many runes, inlaid with crystals and magic metal appeared in front, and as Yuri and others approached, it automatically and silently slid to both sides.

Behind the door is a brightly lit, extraordinarily wide hall.

The hall is rectangular in shape, and there are neat square columns arranged inside. The surface of the columns shines with runes, the light wanders, and there are a lot of "cables" like vines and fleshy fibers wrapped around them, one end of which is wrapped around them. Extending into the ceiling, one end spreads out around the columns, leading to large, neatly arranged seats.

Those seats are distributed around the pillars, forming separate areas. At this moment, about half of the areas are in a "full" state. On the chairs sit the Eternal Sleeper believers in black robes and star pendants hanging from their collars. , Some of those believers leaned on the back of the chair, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep, while others remained awake, but the nerve cords and runes behind the seats were also shimmering.

In the other half of the area, the nerve cord behind the seat was stripped out and extended to a corner of the hall. In that corner, a bed was lined up with dozens of sleepy Eternal Sleepers lying on it. .

Some men in grey or short brown robes walked around the sleepy believers, tending to their compatriots who couldn't wake up because of the pollution.

Seeing this scene, Yuri couldn't help frowning.

He walked towards the area where the bed was placed.

A tall, thin, messy blond priest greeted him, bowed respectfully and saluted: "Archbishop Selena, Archbishop Yuri."

Then he turned to Selena Geerfen: "Archbishop, the number of times of mental comfort has been increased according to your instructions, and the state of those people has stabilized."

This is a middle-level priest, and he does not have a high status in the church. Among the believers at this level, many people don't even know the fact that Archbishop Selena is actually dead-they can always see the latter in the The sect's stronghold appeared, and they could even talk to them occasionally. Under the coverage of sensory projections with no dead ends, Archbishop Selena in their eyes had always been a living person.

Selena nodded to the middle-level priest, and said casually as she walked forward slowly: "Pay attention to the state of those nerve cords, the consciousness of these operators is now torn apart, and the fragments of their minds are deep in No. 1. Deep in the sandbox, once the nerve cord connection goes wrong...they can't come back."

The priest with messy blond hair bowed his head and responded: "Please rest assured, we pay special attention to this point."

Yuri's eyes swept across the people lying on the beds.

Their faces were calm and their breathing was steady, as if they had just fallen asleep in a long dream, but couldn't wake up because they were deeply trapped in it. Shimmering light.

Most of the eternal sleepers can actually directly connect to the network by relying on dream magic, but this connection is not the most efficient, so in this "control hall", the operators who connect to the network need to rely on materialized nerve cords to communicate with each other. connect, join the network.

These nerve cords are technologies from the Death of All Things, which were immature more than ten years ago, but have been improved a lot in recent years, and the negative effects have been greatly reduced.

When the No. 1 sandbox was out of control and the pollution broke out from the inside out, the operators who directly connected to the No. 1 sandbox were hit in this "physical connection" state, and the weak human brain protection faced such a situation. The impact was almost in vain, and the pollution took over the minds of these compatriots almost instantly, and used it as a springboard to enter the spiritual network.

Now, the contaminated ports of these operators have actually been blocked, and the overflow of the No. 1 sandbox no longer uses them as a springboard, but the pollution has already spread to the Brain Array and several virtual connection ports, even without these operators as a springboard, The connection between Sandbox No. 1 and the Mind Network can no longer be closed.

And these operators themselves are still tightly bound by the No. 1 sandbox, and their consciousness sinks in the depths of the sandbox, unable to wake up.

After a long silence, Yuri suddenly said: "If you go deep into their dreams, you may be able to directly observe the situation in Sandbox No. 1."

"But it is more likely to face the deepest pollution and end up the same as these people," Selena Geerfen shook her head. "The human mind is difficult to resist the impact of information on that scale. After all, even an extraordinary level of The strong are still essentially 'mortals'."

Selina emphasized the word "mortal", which made Yuri frown tightly.

"Archbishop Selena, what do you think appeared in Sandbox No. 1... it really is..."

"It's too early to say this, at least until the situation is reported to His Majesty the Pope," Selena said, raising her head and "looking" to the end of the hall on the other side.

She does not have her own eyes that can be opened in the real world, but here, she can "see" everything here through the senses of a large number of believers on site.

In that direction, on the wall at the end of the hall, there are rows of windows arranged neatly. Through the crystal glass covered by the window, you can clearly see that there is another hall on the opposite side.

In that hall, there are more densely packed square columns, each surrounded by rectangular platforms.

A large number of unconscious "brain servants" lie on those platforms, their brain nerves are connected to the nerve cord network in the hall, and their bodies rely on various biomass pipelines for nutrient delivery and metabolic circulation.

"We originally wanted to create a beautiful dream..." Selena Geerfen sighed leisurely, "But it is going to turn into a nightmare after all."
