Chapter 820: The world after decay

Views:

When those illusory lights came on and those phantom-like spiders came flooding in, Gawain just watched quietly.

He knew that those spiders were menacing, and they might have some weird powers from the upper storytellers, but Yuri and Magnum were the archbishops of the Eternal Sleepers anyway, as long as they were taken seriously, they could last for a long time .

What's more, there is Selina Geerfen, the "spiritual protector" who has broken through the legend, so the situation will not get out of control.

And as for Gao Wen himself... Of course he didn't do nothing.

Since entering this No. 1 sandbox, he has dissipated his spirit and perceived everything in this world. Although this sandbox world has been faked, its essence is still a dream world. In such a dream world, the "spiritual power" is more active and effective than under any circumstances.

At first, he didn't find anything, and all the simulated perceptions from the edge of the mental detection were normal. Even after Duvalte and Naritil appeared, he couldn't detect any violation from each other. But until those spiders appeared, the lights came on, and those "abnormal" things appeared in this "normal" city-state, he finally felt the deep division and disharmony in this world.

Hearing Gao Wen's self-talk, Magnum couldn't help shouting, "What did you find?!"

"We always thought that the biggest change in this sandbox world was the disappearance of all the residents, but in fact... the real situation is more complicated than that, and it's right under our noses." Gawain said unhurriedly, he Slowly opening his hands, some grotesque fragments began to appear suddenly beside him, and the spider shadows growing in the gap between light and shadow in all directions seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and they rushed madly in an instant, as if Wanting to stop Gao Wen's next move.

But what Gao Wen had to do had already been done.

The complex and meaningless historical fragments surged out around him, turning into turbulent currents that ordinary human minds could not handle, washing away everything around them. The expansion speed of this turbulent current even surpassed Magnum's Psychic Storm, surpassed The lights that run through the city and the world—

These are historical fragments that have never appeared in No. 1 sandbox. They are strange data that the entire psychic network has never processed. Some of them are even "knowledge" and "concepts" that the eternal sleepers who created the psychic network have never heard of.

They are vicious bugs to the whole world.

The whole city shakes, the whole desert shakes, and finally, even the whole space shakes—

In the depths of the desert far away from Nim Sandro, standing on the top of the mountain in the yellow sand like an upside-down jointed limb, Duarte tried his best to maintain his balance in the constantly oscillating space. He watched the desert and the distant city-state quickly It fell apart, exposing the real world covered by this layer of illusion—a world ruins that have withered and ended, and his old face was full of astonishment: "How did he find out...how did he do it...these incomprehensible things... yes… "

As Duarte muttered in astonishment, Naritel, who had been sitting on the ground looking at the stars, seemed to wake up from a dream. She stood up suddenly and stared blankly at the city-state of Nim Sandro in the distance. In the dark night sky, a round of silvery white light was reflected in the clear emerald green eyes.

"So beautiful... Daxing."

Duarte followed Naritil's line of sight and saw the strange celestial body hanging in the sky.

It is clear and bright, brighter than any star, but colder and smaller than the sun, it casts a flawless light, and under its light, the "false veil" covering the surface of this world moves at an even more astonishing speed. disintegrating—

"What it is?"

"What it is!"

Magnum looked in shock at the strange celestial body that suddenly appeared in the sky, at the silver disk that was many times smaller than the sun but still able to illuminate the night sky, and saw that the sky around the silver disk was quickly covered with cracks, It was as if the whole world was cracking around him, and he was at a loss for a while.

"It's called 'the moon'," Gao Wen said with a smile, "it doesn't exist in this world."

Gao Wen didn't use the word "month" that already existed in this world, but directly used the language he knew in his previous life to pronouncing it sounded strange to Magnum.

There is no celestial body named "moon" in this world. If we have to look for similar concepts, there are only "moon positions" conceived by magicians when they hold ceremonies, symbolizing the position of the goddess of magic, and used in the calendar to distinguish one The word "month" for the six phases of the year.

These two words have nothing to do with "moon" at all. It was Gao Wen who translated them into "moon" in his mind.

But in the real world, he looked up at the night sky countless times, and all he saw was a moonless and strange starry sky.

Thanks to this sandbox world that is fake and real, he has bathed in moonlight for the first time in countless years—although this moonlight is fake, and even a fatal bug for this sandbox world.

Yuri watched in horror as Gawain smiled happily under the illumination of the strange celestial body, and there was only one thought in his mind—

The terrible extraterrestrial wanderer summoned a certain celestial body in his hometown by virtue of a loophole in the rules, and this celestial body obviously possessed terrible power, and its mere existence was enough to tear the world apart—the extraterrestrial wanderer and his hometown, It was really scary.

Then he was extremely rejoicing: Fortunately, this is only a sandbox world, and wanderers outside the domain can only summon a projection...

At this moment, the shock and disintegration of the entire world finally gradually stopped.

The sandbox system barely recovered its balance under the impact of this terrible bug. As Gao Wen expected, the torrent of erroneous data he created alone was not enough to destroy the entire "world", but he had achieved what he wanted Effect-

Destroy the "veil" that covers the real world.

Selena looked around and found that everything had changed.

The deserted city-state Nim Sandro in the desert has disappeared, and even the entire desert has become a piece of dry and cracked wasteland. The previous lights and spiders have dissipated like a dream, replaced by Numerous ruined city walls, fortresses with disordered heights, unbalanced mountains and rivers, and city ruins layer upon layer, these things are randomly piled up on the endless plain like abandoned models, stacked until the end of sight, stacked up to the borders of the world.

The world was abandoned, and the things that once made everything became a jumbled heap of garbage, left to rot slowly on the ruins of the world.

"It's..." Magnum muttered softly.

"After the end of the world," Yuri frowned, "is this... the real sandbox?"

"On this real world, there is a false veil covered. The previous exploration team failed to see through this veil, and was gradually eroded in the endless battle with the phantom. The scene of "battle" is probably the wrong memory instilled in them by the curtain," Gao Wen said slowly, his eyes gradually moved up, and fell on the huge shadow in the distance, "The most critical issue now is that the upper storytelling By… "

The earth bulges in the distance, forming a structure that looks like a spiral tower and a cone-shaped hill, and an extremely huge body is quietly crawling on its half waist.

It was a black spider, or some kind of "creature" similar to a spider. It...or its scale has surpassed human comprehension, almost as huge as a hill, with countless indistinct patterns covering its carapace and arthropods. Those patterns seem to have life and are still moving.

And the cold moonlight shone down from the sky, sprinkled on the body of the huge spider, which made this huge "monster" not scary, but had a sense of sacredness and stalwart.

And the spider lay prone quietly in the moonlight, as if it had been dead for a century.

A weak and ubiquitous rancid smell filled the space between the heaven and the earth, lingering on the plain after the end of the world.

The god is dead and decayed.

Magnum glanced into the distance, and his eyes fell on the giant spider. In the next second, he felt that his soul was about to be ripped out of his body, and every cell in his body seemed to be about to mutate, and a kind of being robbed The feeling of being wrapped in layers of invisible silk quickly overwhelmed his perception, as if trying to control his thinking and block his thoughts of shouting.

The red-haired archbishop instantly realized what had happened—he was polluted by the upper-level narrator!

"Damn it!" Magnum struggled against the erosion from the spirit, diverted his gaze from the giant spider with all his strength, and then quickly dispersed the "foreign spirit" that had begun to modify his consciousness at various levels. Said laboriously, "Beware of pollution!"

A clear and warm light lit up next to it, quickly weakening the pressure on Magnum and Yuri, and Selina Geer, who was holding a lantern, took a step forward, blocking the influence of the upper-level narrator, while subconsciously watching Xiang Gaowen: "Wanderer outside the territory, that is..."

"It's indeed the upper-level narrator." Gawain's eyes fell on the huge divine spider in the distance, and his tone was indescribably complicated, "It seems that he has been dead for a long time..."

"Dead, really dead..." Magnum put enough mental protection on himself, but still didn't dare to directly observe the huge corpse of the god, and muttered in an unbelievable tone, "Really dead ?!"

"At least it seems so," Gao Wen frowned, "and it seems... He is really a god."

The spider lying prone on the hillside already possessed some of the characteristics of a god—powerful spiritual erosion, which cannot be directly seen or touched. Even if it has turned into a corpse, it is still extremely dangerous to approach rashly without protection, even A high-level powerhouse like Magnum was almost polluted by the deep layer when he first came into contact with it.

Even though there may still be a difference between the upper-level narrators and the real gods in terms of specific "pollution intensity", Gawain has reason to believe that the huge spider has indeed walked on the road of gods.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally confirmed some of his previous guesses about the gods...

As for Gao Wen himself, as expected before, the pollution of the upper narrator is also ineffective on him.

This allowed him to calmly observe the huge spider in the distance for a long time before taking his eyes back slowly.

"Can you still hold on?"

"I've slowed down," Magnum took a long breath, "I suppressed part of my spiritual power to prevent it from unconsciously attracting external pollution, and I still remember this—"

While speaking, he stretched out his hand and sketched out complex rune lines in mid-air. The lines were crooked and had the breath of the deep sea. It was the "Siren Rune" that Gawain gave to the Eternal Sleepers as a gift. .

"The pollution came too fast just now, I don't have time to build runes," Magnum said with a wry smile, and made the rune culture into a fixed light and shadow, rubbing it on his clothes, forming a special "mental protection layer" , "... Phew, it feels better now. When are we going to dig... No, it's nothing."

Yuri and Selena also constructed the siren rune and formed a mental protective layer around them. The former shook his head after doing all this, with a helpless and bitter smile on his face: "Is this just looking directly at the gods?" ... Mortals are really fragile, and they almost died casually."

"Gods are also going to die," Gawain pointed to the giant spider under the moonlight in the distance, "and he's already dead."

Magnum carefully glanced at the cone-shaped hills in the distance, and after confirming that the siren rune can indeed help him resist the spiritual pollution of the upper-level narrator, he dared to move his gaze up: "We are going... over there? "

Gao Wen nodded as a matter of course, turned around and walked towards the hill: "Of course, isn't that why we came here?"

Magnum smacked his lips and shook his head. While following Gawain's footsteps, he muttered to Yuri from behind: "Damn it... Maybe I should ask you to borrow a pen and paper before I leave..."
