Those onlookers who seemed to be saying goodbye to the corpse finally left.
Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the amber on the nearby easy chair with closed eyes, and then glanced at Tyre who was waiting for "spiritual food" in the corner of the room. , Let yourself enter the spiritual network of the eternal sleeper.
…
Glenn Collar, Stonebreaker Castle, in Patty's bedroom.
The brilliance of the giant sun completely fell on the opposite side of the mountains, and the faint starlight had already appeared at the end of the horizon on the other side. The bright magic spar lamps lit up in the room, and together with the garden lamps and street lamps inside and outside the castle, they dispersed more and more. In the thick night, under the bright light, Patty was sitting at the desk that belonged to her, seriously reading a beautifully printed textbook with simple binding.
The content of the textbook is not difficult, and it is only at the level of elementary education in the Imperial College of General Studies. However, Patty really missed too much education, so that she only started these basic textbooks until now.
But she is still very happy, because being able to sit peacefully on a chair and read like this, without constant pain and convulsions, has been a luck that she has never imagined in the past many years.
A gust of air blew from the vent in the corner of the room, blowing the hair around Patty's cheek. The girl raised her head with a feeling, but saw that there was no one around her.
Patty lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips in frustration.
It had been a long time since she had that unbelievable dream, and she hadn't seen the kind "Sister Serena", or the irascible red-haired uncle, or the big uncle who called himself "Uncle Selsey".
Everything in that dream seemed to have turned into messy fragments along with her muddled days in the past few years, and became blurred in the girl's spiritual world, which was recovering day by day. Her mother told her that those were all for pain relief. The hallucinations induced by the ointment, as the body gradually recovers, that weird and long dream will eventually be forgotten by her, just like every child's childhood fantasy is gradually going away, because Patty... finally grew up.
But Patty still thinks of those dreams from time to time, thinks of those beautiful streets and gardens, and those kind people in the dreams... She has never dared to tell her mother that she really wants to go back to that dream world, goodbye Meet those uncles and aunts.
Because she forgot to say goodbye to them in her last dream.
But mother must have been worried, so Patty kept it all to herself.
Another gust of wind came, but it came from the opposite direction to the vent. Patty turned her head quickly, but still saw no one.
Only when she glanced at the opposite glass window from the corner of her eye, she vaguely saw a warm and familiar lantern floating in the reflection, but when she rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, she couldn't see anything.
…
The light golden rune radiance flowed like water on the surface of the large round table, and under the glimmer of light that was only for decoration, figures emerged around the round table.
Compared with the previous Supreme Bishops' Synod, there were obviously several seats vacant at the round table this time, and the archbishops who were normally present obviously noticed this, but they just glanced at the vacant seats, but no one ask aloud.
Soon, almost everyone's eyes fell on the position next to Selina Geer.
A special "conference participant" was sitting there openly, smiling to meet the eyes of the archbishops.
"Everyone came on time." Gao Wen said with a smile, and looked at several people he knew in the conference hall one by one - Archbishop Yuri's position was several seats away from him this time, and the archbishop's face His complexion was obviously much better than last time, and Archbishop Magnum was sitting opposite the round table. He pursed his lips tightly, as if he had no intention of releasing the Psychic Storm, which made Gawain nod in satisfaction.
It's what it is, don't carve everything into the subconscious mind, are things like psionic storms used for self-defense
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat weird. Obviously, even though this was the second time that wanderers from outside the territory appeared, the archbishops were not very comfortable with the situation of "a large neutral wild monster suddenly becoming a high-level organization". The participants looked at each other in blank dismay, very It was only after exchanging glances that a few people greeted Gao Wen with embarrassment, but more people could only squeeze out a smile, not knowing how to respond to the "outside wanderer" in order to appear to be in danger chaos.
Gao Wen didn't care about this, anyway, he had expected a similar situation, after a brief greeting, he observed the venue, and found that there were a few people missing as expected.
"How many people seem to be absent?" He calmly looked at Megal III floating in the air, "Do you need to wait?"
"Unfortunately, they have been polluted by the upper-level narrator." Megaul III's starlight aggregate slowly squirmed, and a gentle voice came from it, "It is no longer suitable to appear here."
Gao Wen nodded, and said casually, "... Oh, that's really unfortunate."
Even the archbishop of the Supreme Bishops Conference has been included in the purge list... It seems that Megaul III's purge of the church is indeed extraordinary. Is this a preparation for the upcoming sect reorganization and core transfer
It took two or three days to achieve this step, the ability of this dream pope is really extraordinary...
With a little emotion in his heart, Gao Wen shook his head, and brought the topic to the pollution of the upper-level narrator: "Speaking of the pollution of the upper-level narrator, Selena, have the runes I gave you last time produced any effect? "
"It has an amazing effect," Selina responded immediately, with undisguised joy in her eyes, "The compatriots who were polluted while exploring the No. 1 sandbox before quickly quieted down after seeing those runes , now give them a 'rune soothe the gods' every six hours, and the most polluted people have also stopped praying to the upper narrator. The quarantine will continue for a while, after the event is over, if they don't repeat Once it breaks out, it can be declared cured.”
"That's good," Gao Wen said in a good mood, "You see, the upper-level narrators can still be dealt with, can't they?"
The "rune" he mentioned was the siren rune he gave to Selena when she talked with him through the projection of the mind phantom last time, and it was a pattern rubbed from Tyre's sea monster form.
Although there are still many mysteries about the runes derived from the siren, and Cecil's runegraphers have not yet fully deciphered their mysteries, Jenny's research team has sorted out several types of effective rune combinations and combined them. Partially applied. They have been used to cure Daniel's mental illness, have been made into a "mental defense system", and have proved effective against false gods, and now, those runes from the deep sea are even more proven It can effectively fight against the spiritual pollution of the upper storytellers!
Of course, people who recover may fall into squid mania for a short period of time, or become overly excited and optimistic for a certain period of time. The mind becomes a sacrifice for the coming, and these "sequelae" are obviously acceptable, and even negligible.
In all fairness, Gao Wen always felt that the "Let's go dig the giant squid together" rune effect of the Kraken should in fact be some kind of spiritual pollution similar to the erosion of the gods. "Totem" has indeed stolen the God's position of the Lord of Storms, and their patterns in the form of sea monsters are obviously related to the power of the storm, but the spiritual pollution effect of those deep-sea salted fish spirits is so funny that sometimes Gao Wen can't tell the difference. It is clear whether he is an evil god or a evil god, but one thing is for sure, that is, there is no harm in being cheerful and optimistic...
This may be the so-called only spiritual pollution can fight against spiritual pollution...
The archbishops at the scene listened to Gawain and Selina talking about purifying the pollution of the upper narrators, but none of them mentioned those archbishops who were absent today and were declared "believers of the upper narrators". Speaking of the "polluted nodes" that disappeared in the spiritual network in the past two days, everyone has a tacit understanding on this matter—
Some people, polluted by the upper-level narrator, will come back soon after purification, and some people, who are absent today, will really not be able to come back...
"So, let's get back to the topic." After talking about those runes, Gawain ended the topic on his own initiative, and he turned to Megaul III in midair, "Are you ready to take another action against the No. 1 sandbox? "
"Everything is ready," the starlight aggregate in midair swelled and squirmed, "including monitoring and assistance at all levels in the network, as well as shielding and guiding people in the dream world in the real world. As for the specific entry into the No. 1 sandbox Personnel... Having learned the lessons from last time, we will no longer send ordinary priests in, this time there are only three people entering the No. 1 sandbox besides you."
As soon as Megal III finished speaking, the three figures sitting around the round table had already stood up.
Gawain was not surprised to see the three archbishops Selena, Yuri and Magnum.
Obviously, they have personally explored Phantom Town, and they have been dealing with the affairs of the upper-level narrators for a long time, and they have once again become members of the exploration team.
As for Daniel, he was not selected for this operation, and Gao Wen is not surprised by this—as the security director of the Psychic Network, Daniel can play a very limited role in the No. 1 sandbox, and he should be arranged in the backbone network Provide technical support to ensure the stability and reliability of the network environment and prevent unexpected data pollution in No. 1 sandbox.
"A four-person team... less people, less trouble," Gao Wen nodded, seemingly not paying much attention to the specific "teammates". "Is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to?"
A female archbishop wearing a white robe with a slightly gloomy temperament stood up. She seemed to be in charge of the technical aspects: "According to the agreement, after you enter the No. 1 sandbox, we will partially restore the time iteration of the system. The speed of time in the No. 1 sandbox will therefore be increased to ten times that of the real world—this is the highest rate currently supported by the sandbox security system without causing pollution to worsen.”
The voice of the female archbishop fell, and Daniel, who was wearing a black robe, also stood up, and then said: "During this period, the backbone network will use all remaining computing power resources to maintain the stability of the level of consciousness, which can maximize Ensuring that the contamination inside the sandbox does not leak out, this can be supported in the real world for a day... ”
Gao Wen nodded knowingly: "It's easy to understand - relying on the acceleration of time, you have won us ten days to act. During these ten days, no matter how much we make in the No. 1 sandbox, you will do everything possible Make sure the outside world is not polluted."
The gloomy woman nodded: "That's right, you can let go."
Gao Wen asked again: "What if I don't solve the upper-level narrator within ten days, or the operation in the sandbox fails?"
The female priest with a gloomy temperament immediately replied: "...we will destroy all brain servant nodes, and all priests who have established connections with the No. 1 sandbox will also kill themselves immediately to cut off the spread of dreams. We will try our best to prevent the arrival of the upper-level narrator, As for you... we think there must be a way for you to leave."
"I have a way to leave..." Gawain said, his eyes swept over the three people around the round table including Magnum, "The three of them can just..."
"I have written the suicide note." Yuri said calmly.
"Damn it!" Magnum's loud voice rang out immediately, "We agreed that we don't need that stuff!"
Yuri glanced at the red-haired short man: "If you need to make up a copy, I can lend you a pen and paper—in the real world."
"Damn it, I don't need it!!"
Gawain ignored the two archbishops who seemed to have a good relationship, and looked at Selena beside him: "Have you said goodbye?"
"I met once." Selina said calmly.
Gawain nodded: "Okay, let's go."
