The eternal dream that was once closed was activated again, and this huge spiritual network gradually stabilized after a wave of fluctuations. The magnificent halls, temples, towers and floating islands rooted in spiritual illusions were re-built, and at the same time, there was no way to Counted Eternal Sleepers have also linked their thinking into this network—they are not only users of this network, but also builders and maintainers of this network. They open their brain computing power to the entire network, allowing this network to Dominate and request according to needs, and the difference between them and those "computing power providers" who are called "brain servants" and lie in hidden temples everywhere like living dead is that they don't need to be In this process, the damage of life and soul is paid.
After all, the eternal sleepers are the masters of the eternal dream, and these masters are not willing to sacrifice themselves before the servants die.
And in the deepest part of the eternal dream, in the "Dream Hall" located underground in the city, the bishops and their Pope are ready.
Twenty-two seats are arranged in the center of the room in a circular and symmetrical manner. Eleven white-robed bishops and eleven black-robed bishops occupy half of the seats as if day and night are separated. A hazy black phantom, the phantom condenses the form of a human being from time to time, but more often it appears as various indescribable clumps with lavender starlight—whether it is in the real world or in this virtual world. In the world, the Eternal Sleeping Pope never shows his true face. In fact, believers even firmly believe that their Pope has already completed the sublimation of life form and has become an existence with the same power as dreams, and this group of illusory lights and shadows is just the pope's presence in the world. The projection is just an "interface" set up to communicate with believers who are still mortals.
Today, the pope will lead his bishops to conduct the eighteenth attempt to decipher Gawain Cecil's memory fragments.
"The Eternal Dream has stabilized, and the spiritual network is well connected."
"The lower-level computing nodes are ready, and the 'brain servant' array is ready."
"The guardianship team has arrived and is ready to respond to emergencies in the real world."
"We are ready, Your Holiness."
The bishops reported the procedures they were responsible for one by one. After everyone was ready, the indescribable hazy light floated slightly, as if to express approval, and his voice echoed in the minds of every bishop中: "Let's get started—go see what's in the memory of that ancient hero."
The information link to the memory fragments was connected, and driven by the huge computing power provided by the entire eternal dream, the terrible memory that had caused hundreds of casualties finally began to loosen—although the real situation is that Gawain deliberately remembered There was a weak spot in the fragment, but apparently the Sleeper himself would not have noticed it.
They are just delighted to see that the long-term efforts have finally borne fruit, and a ray of light appears in the depths of the huge information fog. As time goes by, memory fragments are disassembled bit by bit, and the information that can be understood and recognized by humans Part of it entered the minds of every member of the Episcopal Conference.
In the beginning, they saw a scene of starlight.
The deep and lonely universe, the empty and boundless space, and countless dots of stars dotted the dark and deep curtain. This scene confused the bishops for a moment, but they quickly thought that it was Gawain Cecil's death. Perspective: Will human beings really return to heaven after death
Before the bishops could figure out the meaning of that scene of starlight, the scene in front of them began to change crazily.
They saw the starlight receding one after another, distorted light and shadow appeared in the field of vision, and they saw the owner of the perspective shuttle through the starry sky, passing one planet after another at an unimaginable speed...
They saw the owner of the perspective appearing on a burning battlefield. Huge demons raged on the battlefield, flaming meteorites fell from the sky, and soldiers wearing all kinds of strange equipment and races they had never heard of were constantly rushing to kill on the battlefield...
They saw the owner of the perspective leading a large army to attack a fortress with an incomprehensible architectural style. The fortress seemed to be piled up with the flesh and blood of some kind of creature, and a huge swarm of frightening insects swarmed out of the fortress. Fighting fiercely with the legion led by the master of the perspective...
They also saw that the owner of the perspective suddenly came to a world of ice and snow, and a steel building emitting thick smoke exploded in the wind and snow...
They saw the owner of this perspective shuttle in different worlds, sometimes leading an army to sweep across the battlefield, sometimes destroying the entire country alone, sometimes turning the tide to defend something, but sometimes destroying the entire planet. Under destructive flames, he fights, protects, destroys, creates, and does all of this with an almost bystander-like calm, as if it were all about accomplishing something. tasks, or simply entertainment itself in general.
This "feeling" is fused in the depths of the memory, and it is directly transmitted from the master of the perspective to the brain of every Eternal Sleeper bishop on the scene.
And every time this perspective switches the world, it is accompanied by the same scene: a scene of boundless starry sky, followed by the illusion of passing through the starry sky...
The bishops of the Eternal Sleeper trembled, letting the memory of that scene wash over their minds, they didn't dare to think about it anymore, but the memory was still playing-until the end, they saw the starry sky reappear, and then As the starlight shifts, a star shimmering in the universe appears on the background, and the owner of the perspective jumps at that star—its land is rapidly enlarged in the field of vision, and some details on the land are so breathtaking. Familiar, so familiar that people dare not think about it.
But this time, the owner of the perspective seems to have turned his direction a bit as he pounced on the earth—the Bishops of the Eternal Sleepers saw the starry sky again. They saw dots of light shuttle among the stars one after another, and some kind of huge structure made of metal was hanging high in the sky. An incredible invisible effect was gradually covering the structure and making it disappear. In the eyes of the world.
So much for the memory fragments.
The illusion faded away like a tide, and everyone's sights were refocused. The consciousness of the bishops returned to this hall. They looked at each other in horror, and found that all their colleagues had been soaked in sweat.
No one took the initiative to speak, because everyone couldn't think of what to say at this moment. It was not until half a minute later that the illusory light and shadow in the center of the hall broke the silence: "Let the nightmare mentors waiting outside temporarily take over the eternal dream, the bishops convened An emergency meeting. Today's affairs must not be circulated."
Eternal Dreamland quickly completed the shielding and cutting of information. After the entire hall became a safe and closed space, a white-robed bishop couldn't help but said: "The authenticity of the memory fragments..."
"There is no doubt about its authenticity. I have checked it myself," the voice of the Sleeping Pope sounded. "It is indeed a real memory, not a woven illusion—everything in the fragments is a real experience."
"The resurrection of Gawain Cecil is indeed fake..." Another white-robed bishop's voice trembled, "The one who woke up is not an ancient hero at all! In that body, there is a foreign, inhuman The indescribable...existence!"
"What is his purpose? What will he do?"
"We can't figure out the rules... Those messy and broken memories, those scenes... There is almost no logic to be found! The 'inhuman thing' seems to be traveling through worlds, constantly changing its own body, sometimes it seems like In saving the world, sometimes it seems to be destroying it, and even sometimes, ta is just wandering around in the world, that behavior has no purpose at all—we simply cannot understand how an existence like that thinks!"
"Do those worlds really exist? Those...worlds that are so different from our world, do they really exist, or did they exist?"
"This has nothing to do with us. The biggest problem now is still to figure out the 'inhuman thing' occupying the body of Gawain Cecil, and figure out what he wants to do when he came to our world—'this time' , does he want to destroy, protect, or just pass by? Or... ta will make... more terrifying or weird behaviors that have never been seen in those memories?"
"It's impossible for him to be passing by!" A black-robed bishop who was more concerned about Ansu's situation suddenly said, "He chose to use the body of a founding duke as the carrier of 'this time', and also established a territory near the Dark Mountains , started pioneering construction like a mortal, there must be a purpose for doing so. And he also killed a Bishop of the Eternal Sleeper... "
"The bishop's rash actions caused the disaster," someone interrupted the black-robed bishop. "Of course, without his rash actions, we would not have obtained the current information."
"All in all," the pope suddenly spoke, and the scene immediately fell silent, everyone quietly listening to the pope's voice echoing in their respective minds, "maybe we should use 'he' to refer to that inhuman thing... "
"Your Majesty, what action should we take?" A white-robed bishop asked cautiously, "No matter what that inhuman thing wants to do, it is a huge factor of instability. Should we consider..."
"Don't make a move!" The pope stopped this thought in an unprecedentedly severe tone, "The situation is very likely to get out of control!"
"But the body he's using now is just a mortal, maybe we can destroy his 'vehicle' to banish him to where he came from... maybe even destroy him completely!"
A black-robed man standing opposite the bishop shook his head: "It's too risky. In those memories, we saw him travel through countless dangerous worlds. Those battlefields and desperate situations are more dangerous than any dangerous situation we have ever experienced. Terrifying, in some pictures, we can even see him falling down—but he never died, but can return to the battlefield again and again, which shows that destroying its carrier cannot cause effective damage to it, and even if it Exile, He can also come back. As for the seal... who dares to ensure that the known sealing method will be effective for such an inhuman thing from outside the territory? If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous. And everyone must always remember one thing: the The body is just a 'carrier', and it may be replaced with a new one at any time, so any action on that carrier...is meaningless, but will only make us lose our only clue."
"There is one more important point," added the person next to the black-robed bishop, "Don't forget the last scene we saw in those memory fragments—there is more than one shuttler moving in the starry sky, and there are also A hidden steel palace is still hanging among the stars, which means that the inhuman thing is probably not alone. It has its own kind and a lair. Once we act rashly, it will attract more... "
The bishop didn't continue, but his meaning was quite clear. Everyone in the hall was aware of this hidden danger, so needles could be heard on the spot for a while.
The bishops suddenly felt that this situation was really weird, even so weird that people couldn't laugh or cry.
A group of heretics who are opposed to civilized society... are actually entangled in this kind of thing, entangled in how to deal with an "inhuman thing"-if this inhuman thing really came to destroy the world, maybe they would not be entangled, but the problem The most important thing is that they don't understand what this inhuman thing is here for!
This caused the gang of cultists to fall into a huge state of bewilderment.
The Pope sighed—this was probably his first sigh since he transformed his life form.
I thought that the deciphering work had made great progress, and I could take this opportunity to understand Gawain Cecil's secrets back then and some truths about this world, but who would have thought that the memory fragments would reveal a completely unexpected The clues everyone expected...
Or... is this part of the truth of the world
The phantom of the pope stirred up, ta shook the spiritual power, and sent his words into everyone's mind:
"Remember the lesson of the last 'contactee', don't act rashly, don't try rashly, observe carefully until we have more information, and then contact him carefully."
