The psychic storm roared and raged, forming a real "storm" in this world formed by psychic power. Where powerful magic power swept across, many things composed of dreams and projections fell apart and disappeared!
Archbishop Magnum raised his hands high, with a happy smile on his face.
In such a strange place, facing a group of distorted projections and sinister traps at the mental level is really not an easy and pleasant experience.
To tell the truth, he is really not good at cracking this layer upon layer of mental traps that are hard to guard against.
But if it comes to the stage where both sides show their blood... oh, he will be refreshed!
After all, he was a priest for the God of War before he took up the dim career of being a cultist.
The God of War sect has weak influence in the Anzu-Cecil area, and the number of believers is not large, but in the Typhon Empire, the Church of the God of War is the most influential sect, and the army of Typhon is full of churches of the God of War The pastors are all grumpy old pigeons...
In the howling mental storm, Gao Wen, who was in a state of psychological invisibility, narrowed his eyes slightly.
The pale golden runes summoned by Archbishop Yuri flickered around the exploration team, forming a solid spiritual barrier. Outside the barrier, there was a powerful storm that seemed to destroy everything. Inside the barrier, there was no waves.
It turns out that these golden runes are used to defend teammates from damage...
With some dumbfounding thoughts in his mind, Gawain looked past the exploration team of the Eternal Sleepers and turned to the church steps not far away.
After all, the psychic storm can only deal with those fragile projected residents and the square space that will not resist. The old priest with strange magic is still standing firmly at the end of the church steps. Some kind of protective spell has helped him resist the damage of the psychic storm. , with a fanatical and frightened expression on his face, he stared at Selina Gerfen who was walking up the stairs step by step.
Obviously, the current Selena is only a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, but as she walks forward step by step with a lantern in her hand, there is a huge and terrifying aura spreading around her, and the aura even gradually suppresses the sky above the church. The holy and majestic sacred music suppressed the divine magic performed by the old priest with all his strength.
Gao Wen was not surprised by this situation.
After all, this exploration team is the elite among the elite of the Eternal Sleepers, and the leader of the team is a legendary strongman known as the "Saint" seven hundred years ago.
Although this legendary powerhouse has fallen in the real world, in this world supported by the power of soul and mind, her strength will not be reduced in the slightest—maybe even stronger.
In the initial exploration, it was the strange characteristics of the Phantom Town itself and the overflowing power of the No. 1 sandbox that surpassed everyone's comprehension, which created the crisis and pressure, but now... it has reached the stage where the two sides face each other, in the face-to-face confrontation , How can a priest who is just a projection be Selina's opponent
"The supreme narrator of the upper class! Lower your strength! Punish these thugs who disturb the peace of the church!" Facing the extremely unfavorable situation, the elderly priest roared. He seemed to have finally made up his mind and was ready to use a huge price to reverse the situation. With the power, the layers of halos behind him suddenly expanded, even covering half of the square, and his voice also merged with the ubiquitous holy music, resounding through the entire town, "May your kingdom come down on earth!" , your will will be fulfilled, may you do it in the world, as in the pure land of heaven—”
Over the church square, the magnificent and holy "Voice of Heaven" became loud and clear again. In the halo behind the elderly priest, layers of phantoms seemed to break through some kind of barrier and "squeeze" into this world. This is similar to the divine descent technique The scene was obviously beyond the expectations of Daniel and others—
Such a projection, believing in the projection of the "upper narrator", can not only release ordinary divine spells, but even perform divine descent? !
At this moment, Archbishop Yuri even hesitated for a moment, he even wanted to wait for the old priest in front of him to complete the divine spell to see what he could conjure—but he immediately suppressed this dangerous idea, because this The idea itself is most likely induced by the enemy.
But before he was ready to interrupt the enemy's God's Arrival with other Eternal Sleepers, the magnificent magic was suddenly stopped.
The sound of the holy music in mid-air stopped abruptly, and the phantoms that emerged from the layers of halos disappeared instantly. The old priest tried his best to perform the divine descent technique, but there was no response.
Even the elderly priest himself was stunned for a moment, and then showed a horrified expression: "Master... why... why?!"
Selena stepped onto the last step in front of the church. She raised her head and looked up at the elderly priest who was in a state of bewilderment and despair. Even though she was looking up, her momentum seemed to be overlooking: "You look surprised... that is to say , your divine art was originally able to summon part of the power projection of the upper-level narrator?"
"You heretic, what did you do!?" The old priest woke up startled, couldn't help taking a half step back, and looked at Selena who was holding a lantern in horror and anger, "Why... why can't I feel the power of the Lord, why? I can not hear… "
"I didn't do anything," Selena looked at the other party quietly, "Need I remind you again? You are just a projection, this town is also a projection, and everything here is a projection.
"If you can still hear the voice of your 'Lord' in the previous prayer, then it must be a hallucination.
"If you can still use the divine spell bestowed on you by your 'lord', then you are only overdrawing the power of this phantom town.
"Because you are just a projection."
The lantern in Selena's hand emitted a milky white light, like the waking sunlight shining into the depths of a dream, piercing through the mental protection of the elderly priest.
And the word "projection" that Selena kept mentioning, also followed the power of this light, piercing into the depths of the opponent's closed and locked consciousness.
The entire phantom town shook violently.
The high and low spiers fell apart silently, and the streets were full of cracks in the blink of an eye. Everything began to disintegrate irreversibly, as if some kind of pillar supporting this world had disappeared. The town came to an end in the blink of an eye.
Obviously, after confirming the power limit of the projection priests in the town, and realizing that the "upper narrator" in the No. 1 sandbox may establish a connection with this phantom town through "magic", Selina Ge Erfen no longer intends to keep this dangerous "sample".
"No... it shouldn't be like this..." The old priest in front of the chapel backed away in horror, until he reached the gate depicting the emblem of the upper narrator. There were black cracks all over his body, and his whole body seemed to be breaking apart rapidly. The scene was terrifying, "The Lord will protect me, the Lord should be omniscient and omnipotent, the Lord...why can't I hear..."
Selena glanced at the projection priest who had begun to question her own existence and even the upper-level narrator with a little pity, and then walked towards the church door ahead: "The mission is over, evacuate."
The members of the exploration team silently followed the figure holding the lantern. One by one, they passed the projection priest whose figure had begun to appear illusory. Shadow, can no longer stop anyone.
Gawain stood quietly from the beginning to the end, watching the members of the Eternal Sleeper Exploration Team pass through the gate of the church one by one, their breaths disappearing one by one in this "town after the bell rings", until He was the last person to leave before he stepped forward and came to the door of the church.
The sky had already darkened, and the town began to gradually collapse and disintegrate from the outside to the inside. Buildings collapsed in the distance, and the torn apart black fragments flew towards the chaotic and gloomy sky like fallen leaves rolled up.
The fragmented body of the projecting priest leaned against the door of the church, with fanaticism and bewilderment mixed in his eyes.
Suddenly, an uninvited guest was reflected in his pair of eyeballs that were about to be shattered.
Gao Wen deliberately removed the effect of psychological invisibility, as if to verify something, he stood quietly in front of this projection.
"Can you see me?" He lowered his head and asked unhurriedly.
"You are..." The projection priest's eyes slowly widened, and he looked at the stranger in front of him in astonishment, "You are... what?!"
"It's interesting to see..." Gao Wen smiled slightly, then shook his head, "It's a pity that you are just a projection, and the connection with the No. 1 sandbox has been lost, otherwise I really want you to tell me something Speak to the upper-level narrator."
The consciousness of the projection priest has begun to slacken, and he subconsciously repeated: "Send a word?"
"Wanderer outside the domain, I will visit your lord soon."
The last ray of light in the town disappeared.
The longest-surviving No. 1 sandbox overflow projection in the psychic network disappeared with it.
In the familiar light and shadow switching and brief dizziness, Gawain returned to the real world.
The sound of crackling melon seeds came from the side, and Gao Wen just turned his head when a handful of melon seeds was handed to him: "Here, eat melon seeds."
Gao Wen didn't take the things that Amber handed over, but murmured, full of thoughts, as if talking to himself: "After this, the Eternal Sleepers should take positive actions against No. 1 sandbox..."
In Phantom Town, the nameless projection priest did indeed use the power of divine magic—although his last divine descent spell failed, "divine magic" itself means that the "upper narrative" in No. 1 sandbox Those who "have already possessed the characteristics of gods on a certain level!
And the deep pollution encountered by Yuri and others in the process of calibrating their minds shows that the "god-like existence" is not just a superficial appearance, but has really been able to produce hidden pollution and have a substantial impact on the outside world!
The Eternal Sleepers will not sit back and watch the development of the situation, even if they take risks, they should take further action.
As for Gawain himself... the last thing he said to the projection priest was not casual, because he had expected that the actions of the Eternal Sleeper would have a high probability of failure.
The upper-level narrators "created" by the Eternal Sleepers themselves are too restrained in their own power.
Gao Wen has already decided to find a way to intervene in the follow-up actions of the Eternal Sleepers, and even... When they opened the No. 1 sandbox, find a way to go in and find out!
Amber was used to Gao Wen being in a daze from time to time, so she put the melon seeds back into the snack box in front of her with ease, and said casually while continuing to chew: "Is there something bigger going on over there?"
"En." Gao Wen casually responded, and then his eyes fell on Amber.
You need to pay attention to things in the mind network, and you also need to pay attention to things in the real world.
The figure of Selina Gerfen appeared in his mind.
"Amber—Is the search task assigned to you still in progress?"
"You mean the whereabouts of Selina Geerfen?" Amber nodded, "It's still under investigation, and I already have a highly suspicious target..."
"Highly suspicious target?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What is it?"
"The Kant area and the Glenn area have temporarily delineated these two suspected locations," Amber put down the melon seeds, clapped her hands, and said seriously, "there was a 'sacred object' of the Eternal Sleeping Order like the 'Dream Lantern' in the former, The latter... Patty's tiara was a very suspect object.
"If Selina Geerfen is transferring her soul with the help of magic props, then these two things are the most suspicious, they may both be 'containers'.
"Of course, the dream lantern has been transferred to Cecil City now, but it has been dismantled into parts by Rebecca, and has been studied by Kamel many times, and it can be determined that its interior is 'empty', so I think, If it's the container, then Selena should have been out of it before then..."
Amber analyzed the situation in an orderly manner, and Gao Wen looked at her with more surprise.
It seems that even if he did not get the key clues in this exploration, the goose in front of him will find the clues of Selina Geerfen sooner or later by virtue of the intelligence power he has at hand. Can narrow the scope to the latter side.
Gao Wen laughed, shook his head, and interrupted Amber's words.
"Make arrangements. I'm going to visit Glenn."
Amber slowly opened her eyes.
After observing Gao Wen's expression for a second, she blurted out: "Oh my god... have I been busy all this time?"
Gao Wen: "..."
Why is this guy getting sharper and sharper recently
