After finally figuring out the truth about the No. 0 project of the Eternal Sleeper, and finally knowing what those paranoid and extreme "mind manipulators" wanted to achieve, Gao Wen felt surprised in his heart. Lots of new questions.
"Is this item zero... effective?"
"There should be a certain effect, otherwise they would not continue to promote the project until today, which would require a staggering cost," Daniel replied. Obviously, even though he had been promoted to archbishop, due to the short promotion time, he hadn't had time to get in touch with all of them. The core secrets of the No. 0 project are still limited, and some things can only be speculated, "In the process of communicating with other archbishops, I heard them vaguely mention that, at least before the sandbox gets out of control, Complete 'Godless Existence' has indeed been realized in those dream worlds."
"But the sandbox is still out of control..." Gao Wen frowned, "How exactly did it get out of control?"
"The reason has not yet been ascertained, but Archbishop Selina Gerfen once mentioned one point—in the out-of-control sandbox, it is suspected that traces of gods were found."
Gawain raised his brows slightly. He heard a familiar name in Daniel's report, but he quickly put this matter aside for the time being, because another thing made his heart beat even more:
Traces of the gods! !
"That is to say... the sandbox was polluted by the gods?" He stared at Daniel, "And the way of pollution is completely beyond the understanding of the eternal sleepers, is it a way that even their technology can't lock?"
"Yes, all the information related to the sandbox has been checked, and all the minds that enter the sandbox have undergone extremely strict selection, but the sandbox is still polluted by gods," Daniel said solemnly, "out of control The sandbox is called 'Sandbox No. 1', it is the core of the entire No. 0 project, and it is also the one with the most complete 'world structure' and the longest running time among all testing sandboxes."
Then the old mage paused, and then said: "After losing control, that world is in a state that cannot be closed. It has implemented self-enclosure, and its interior is rapidly evolving under the effect of time iteration. In the first few Within hours, its internal historical process may have completely deviated from the 'script' formulated by the external deduction team, and now no one knows the specific situation there."
Daniel's report is full of professional vocabulary that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and some words feel a bit out of date, but Gawain himself is already a professional in the field of eternal sleeper technology, so he has no difficulty in understanding it.
He then asked: "Then how did this accident affect the normal operation of the mind network?"
"The sandbox has 'overflow'," Daniel replied immediately, "although the sandbox is closed in design, you should know that its manipulation requires the consciousness of the caster to intervene, and the spell of the eternal sleeper is not like The 'immersion chamber' we created doesn't have triple safety tubes and an emergency stop button on the cover, but relies entirely on the caster's own mind barrier to ensure 'safety'... ”
Gao Wen had a deep understanding of the technology of the Eternal Sleeper, and he guessed the truth almost instantly: "The operator is contaminated."
"Yes, the operators who were in charge of monitoring the No. 1 sandbox were contaminated, and then the overflow data used their brains as a springboard, quickly occupied several key ports, and began to spread to the psychic network—the spread was very fast, until the peripheral By the time people realize something is wrong, the pollution is out of control."
"What measures have the Eternal Sleepers taken so far?" Gao Wen asked with a frown, "Have any of them worked?"
"They are constantly resetting and clearing the polluted area, deleting the short-term memory of some polluted nodes, but these measures can only temporarily maintain the status quo, and they also use a measure called a 'retarder', a retarder It can produce reverse time iteration, which successfully reduces the time passing speed of No. 1 sandbox to be synchronized with the real world. This can be regarded as the most effective measure at present—otherwise it will only take one to two days. The pollution of No. 1 sandbox It will evolve to a level that no one can control."
Hearing Daniel's answer, Gawain couldn't help but widen his eyes: "That's all?"
Daniel nodded: "These are the measures currently being taken—because they want to use my capabilities in network architecture and information security to solve the problem, so they have not concealed from me these countermeasures. The intelligence should be Authentic and reliable."
"Didn't they try to forcibly cut off the connection between the sandbox and the backbone network?" Gao Wen was puzzled, "I mean in the real world, forcibly cut off at the physical level."
"This will lead to the death of all the 'brain servants' that make up the sandbox world..." Daniel seemed to have a subtle expression when he answered here, "At least half of the archbishops object to this... Even the Pope expressed opposition."
At this moment, Gawain even suspected that he had an auditory hallucination, and couldn't help but confirm it again: "...they didn't execute the physical cutoff because those 'brain servants' would die, not for any other reason?"
Daniel nodded: "At least that's the information I got."
Gao Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You...I mean them, aren't they cult members?"
"... I am also deeply surprised, but compared with the Church of the End of All Things, the Order of the Eternal Sleeper is indeed a relatively... 'mild' dark sect," Daniel's expression is still subtle, and the more he speaks, the more subtle, "Of course, 'brain The existence of a 'thing' like a servant, I'm afraid I can't say how gentle it is."
"...Maybe it's because they judged that the loss would be too great, and they didn't want to spend a huge amount of money to 'make' a new batch of 'brain servants'. It's the same mentality as cherishing tools," Gao Wen couldn't think of anything more for a while. A good explanation can only be said casually to bypass the topic, "In short, it is obvious that the Eternal Sleeper has no better way to solve the problem now, is that right?"
"Yes, my lord," Daniel replied.
"Then you should do your best to help them find a solution." Gao Wen shook his head, although he felt full of disobedience, he still had to say, "Priority is to keep the spiritual network. Find another way to contact you."
"Yes, my lord..."
Daniel responded respectfully, but just halfway through his words, his expression froze for a moment.
Gao Wen noticed the slight abnormality of the other party: "Is there something wrong?"
"I left a 'clone' in the City of Dreams to deal with the situation, and now the clone has received instructions," Daniel replied immediately, "An overflow pollution area appeared outside the City of Dreams, and this time the pollution area seems to be somewhat It's weird, the Supreme Bishops Council asked me to check the situation with several other archbishops."
"Then go," Gawain nodded, but when Daniel was about to take orders to retreat, he suddenly had some bold ideas, "Wait a minute."
Daniel lowered his head: "Please tell me."
Gao Wen smiled: "I'll go with you."
"My lord?" Daniel was a little surprised for a moment, but soon he understood Gawain's intentions, "I understand—I will prepare enough safety springboards for you."
Gao Wen hummed, and Daniel couldn't help but reminded: "Also, please be careful, I will be accompanied by archbishop-level eternal sleepers, and there may even be the gaze of the Pope. They can easily detect the spiritual network. Abnormal fluctuations in…”
As soon as the words fell, the old mage himself felt that something was wrong. He thought that he should not be so bold as to remind a powerful "outsider wanderer" to pay attention to safety, and said: "I have overstepped, my lord, I should not doubt Your… "
"Don't worry about it," Gawain interrupted Daniel indifferently, "Let's go, to prevent those archbishops from doubting you."
Daniel didn't say anything else, he just saluted Gao Wen, and then the light and shadow scene beside the two suddenly trembled and shattered silently.
The bright sun shone on his body, and in just the blink of an eye, Gao Wen was already standing in that dream city, on a grand circular square surrounded by hundreds of decorative columns and covered with golden leaves. .
There were only a few people standing not far away in the square, and Gawain soon saw the woman in a long white dress with a gentle smile and a lantern in her hand—she was standing facing Gawain, That face was exactly what the latter remembered Selina Gerfen.
The lantern in her hand was obviously a "duplicate" made in the dream world—after all, the original copy was now in Gawain's hands, and it had already been dismantled into parts by a group of people led by Rebecca.
But in this world supported by psychic power, the functions of the copy and the original are no different.
Beside Selina Geer is a tall, slender man with a gentle temperament, wearing a scholar-style robe and a monocle.
Judging from his temperament and standing position, it should be another archbishop of the Eternal Sleeper.
Daniel was standing opposite the two men, talking to them about something.
Gawain glanced at his side, and saw that Daniel, who was standing next to him, had long since disappeared—obviously, his "information" had been re-fused with the "clone" in front of Selena, but there was nothing wrong with this process. People can find out.
In addition to the three archbishops, there are three figures wearing standard black robes and owl masks standing beside them. Those should be the special operations personnel of the Eternal Sleepers-directly under the command of the Supreme Bishops or the Pope, specializing in The kind that handles confidential matters.
Advanced tool people don't need to care much.
Gao Wen confirmed his own state, and walked forward swaggeringly.
Everyone in the square remained indifferent, as if subconsciously ignoring the appearance of the unexpected guest.
Gao Wen couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
If he had just penetrated into the spiritual network, he would not dare to act as boldly as today. After all, he only occupied the authority of a high-ranking believer at that time, and his understanding and control of this network was also very limited. As for seeing the figure of Selina Gerfen, I have to worry about whether I will be recognized, but today is different from the past.
The Psychic Network already has perfect address recognition technology—he designed it.
There is a more efficient identity feature expression technology in the network - also designed by him.
There are also the latest "stealth" exploits, thousands of camouflaged springboards, hidden data ports... or he designed them.
In this way, he came to Daniel's side openly, listened to their conversation, and casually looked at the strange male archbishop with a gentle temperament.
Immediately above the latter's head appeared a light screen undetectable to others, with clear letters displayed on it:
Yuri, archbishop, male, high-level pinnacle.
Current location: Typhon-Soutiny Province-Harentan Valley.
Is this person called "Yuri"...
Gawain glanced at the Archbishop of the Eternal Sleeper named Yuri, feeling a little sigh in his heart.
It's a pity that he is not bald, and the back of the head is not intubated.
Of course, in the real world it could be intubated—or bald.
Gao Wen complained and teased in his heart, but soon he calmed down his slightly divergent thinking in a dull way—he could only tell himself in his mind about these memes from the earth.
While listening to Daniel discussing the details of the action with Archbishop Yuri, he turned his attention to the other priests of the Eternal Sleepers. Words also appeared above their heads, but some were detailed and some were brief.
In the end, his eyes wandered casually to Selina Gerfen.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, because he already knew this "Saint of Dreams". Although he didn't know how she survived to this day like Beltera, he at least knew the truth about Selina Gerfen. identity.
But when the words rose from the latter's head, Gao Wen's eyes suddenly froze.
Selina Gelfen, archbishop (death), female, spirit body.
Current location: Ansu/Correction/Cecil Empire - Southern Border.
