Chapter 794?

This is the first time Gawain has entered the central temple of the City of Dreams.

This temple is located in the center of the City of Dreams, and from the structure of the spiritual network, the data that makes up this temple is also located at the deepest point of the entire network - it is directly monitored by the Supreme Bishops Conference, and Under the "watchful eye" of Pope Megall III at all times, all mental activities in the temple area are based on the highest security strategy, and data flow control is extremely strict.

Therefore, for a long time, Gawain had no idea of ​​​​this area. In order to prevent himself as a "stowaway" from being discovered by the temple's monitors, he would not even move near the temple area. .

To this day, Daniel has become the monitor of the temple area and has restructured the data flow in the entire area.

Gawain calmly teleported to the inner corridor of the central temple, and then walked into the splendid rotunda unhurriedly.

In the gorgeous hall illuminated by sourceless light, the figures of the archbishops emerged one after another. The golden round table in the center of the hall was painted with many mysterious runes, and each rune followed the meeting. Sparkling waves arose with the visitor's arrival. Gawain walked slowly to the round table, his eyes calmly scanning the magic and sacred marks floating on the edge of the round table, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart——

People who work on the Internet just like RGB, as if this thing can really improve the performance of the spiritual network...

As my thoughts floated, the figures had quickly solidified, and the archbishops of the Eternal Sleeper Order had arrived. At the meeting place, he came to Gawain.

Gawain looked at the seats at the scene and saw a total of twenty-three seats placed around the gorgeous round table - which corresponded to the twenty-three archbishops including Daniel.

But there is a chair available at the moment.

Gawain thought of the situation reported by Daniel - during the previous exploration of Sandbox No. 1, an Eversleeper archbishop was mentally contaminated by the upper-level narrator in order to protect others, and is now in reality. The world was isolated, and it seemed that the empty seat was hers.

Gawain came to the vacant seat and sat down casually - it was a good seat, it was his now.

Except for Daniel, the archbishops had no idea that the wanderers from outside the territory had arrived beside them. They took their seats around the round table in order. Yuri Chalvin sat on Gawain’s left hand side, and there was another The unknown archbishop sat on Gawain's right side.

Several participating bishops couldn’t help but cast their sights on Gawain’s position. Of course, there was only an empty seat in their field of vision. One of the archbishops shook his head and sighed: "Sigh... I hope Archbishop Wendy can recover as soon as possible."

There were several echoes from the surroundings, and the few glances towards Gawain's position were filled with sighs and melancholy.

Gawain felt a little embarrassed, but he still stayed in his seat with a straight face... After all, Daniel was sitting across the table, and his persona as an outsider wanderer could not be ruined - ZuoAs an outsider, you can't run away from your seat just because of embarrassment.

At this moment, a voice sounded in the venue, announcing the start of the meeting and relieving Gawain's embarrassment: "Everyone, let's get started."

Gao Wenxun's reputation I went and saw Selina Gale sitting in a seat not far from me. She was wearing a simple white dress, and her tone was as calm and gentle as she remembered.

"His Majesty the Pope will also participate in this meeting." Selina continued.

Megor III?

Gaowen's heart moved, and the face of the pioneer who was famous for his loyalty and gentleness in the northward march appeared in his mind, and almost at the same time as his mind wandered, a squirming and deformed... The starlight aggregate floating above the golden round table suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

Gawain’s eyes froze for a moment. The memory of Gawain Cecil was surging in his mind, but he could not connect the indescribable starlight with the “comrade” in his memory. overlap.

He couldn't help but think of Bertila who had transformed into a plant, and of the "Grand Priest" Franken who merged with the body of the false god and died...

Mortals To contend with the passage of time and live through the long years, it seems that there is a huge price to pay.

Subsequently, he heard a vibrato voice from the starlight whose original voice could no longer be distinguished. The voice said to the archbishops present: "We are facing a special event. The crisis - the 'upper-level narrator' brewed in the No. 1 sandbox has begun to infect the real world. I believe you have already understood the specific situation.

"In addition, No. 1. All minds in the sandbox have been confirmed to have disappeared, including three thousand fellow church members who were test entities, and millions of virtual minds formed by the sandbox system.

“We are still unable to confirm the reason for the disappearance of these minds - they may have been 'swallowed' by the out-of-control upper-level narrator, or... they may have been integrated into the No. 1 sandbox in some way, or even fused. Passed through the shield and entered our surface network.”

Megor III’s voice echoed in the hall, and Gawain’s eyes gradually became serious.

The minds in Sandbox No. 1 disappeared...it actually contained millions of minds, most of which were virtual personalities generated by the sandbox system...

The huge number of "virtual personalities" does not surprise Gawain, because what is running in the sandbox is an extremely simulated "real world", and with the development of the internal historical "script", the scale of civilization in the sandbox world is certain It will develop accordingly, and the huge number of "residents" cannot all be real testers-that means that the Eternal Sleepers have to put the entire population of an entire country into their sandbox. This Obviously unrealistic.

So using virtual personalities to act as "NPCs" in the sandbox system is their inevitable choice, and it is something Gawain has already anticipated.

But he didn't expect that Sandbox No. 1, which seemed to be operating normally... was actually empty inside?

Gawain is also very concerned about whether those virtual "NPCs" can simulate the real human mind and achieve high-level artificial intelligence, but he is obviously not concerned about such things now. time.

While Gawain kept thinking, the archbishops in the hall also held a formal meeting and discussion.

The archbishops who participated in the No. 1 sandbox exploration operation told more details about the exploration operation. The technical archbishops headed by Daniel proposed several plans. During the discussion, the severe It is becoming increasingly clear that the pressure of this crisis is weighing heavily on everyone.

Selena stood up, her eyes were calm and her tone was low:

“...As of now, we still cannot confirm the nature of the upper-level narrator. His power is invisible and uncontaminated. For everything that entered Sandbox No. 1, conventional countermeasures were ineffective.

“The advance troops under attack were attacked by invisible enemies after dark. In addition to hallucinations suspected of mental backlash, we Still nothing is known about this attack.

"Compatriots, we are trying to fight against a force that may be superior to the human mind... Conventional solutions are probably useless."

There was a sound in the hall. There was a low discussion, and the archbishops quickly exchanged opinions. Even Gawain, who was observing the meeting invisibly, couldn't help but fall into thinking, and conceived possible response plans based on the large amount of information he had just heard.

No matter what, he still doesn’t want such a useful psychic network to come to an end so soon - not to mention, the upper-level narrator sounds weird and dangerous, and he is not willing to let it happen if possible. That stuff really gets into the real world.

Selina Gerfen quietly looked at the archbishops under discussion. After a few minutes, she suddenly spoke up and broke the silence.

“Compatriots, listen to me——

“Perhaps what I say next will make you feel unbelievable, but the seriousness of the situation has been seen by all, and I hope that all of us can Think carefully about the possibilities.

"In view of the current situation, His Majesty Megall III and I discussed it, and we have a bold plan——"

Gawain subconsciously raised his head, and talked with the other archbishops They looked in the direction of Selina Gerfen together.

"Perhaps, we should seek cooperation from the wanderers outside the territory." Selina said calmly.

The hall was suddenly so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Gawain: "...?"

Daniel: "...?"

The next moment, the buzzing sound of discussion suddenly sounded, and the whole hall seemed to be in an instant It became a pot of boiling soup. When a name that the Eternal Sleeper Order regarded as a "large neutral BOSS in the wild" appeared at this special meeting, even the archbishops of the dark sect could not restrain it.The ground fell into shock and confusion.

At this moment, Selena's voice sounded again, causing the scene to quickly quiet down: "Quiet, everyone, please listen to me - this is not a whim, but a serious idea.

“Through the ongoing observation and analysis of wanderers outside the territory, we should already have a certain understanding of this indescribable existence. Various characteristics show that although He presents extremely high dangers and various weird methods in the process of wandering in many worlds, during a specific journey, He has relatively certain rules of conduct - according to "Outside the World Wanderer" The analysis team's summary of those memory fragments and observations of the Cecil area shows that every time the extraterrestrial wanderer comes to the world, he will have a specific goal, and all his actions will revolve around this goal. In our world, his goal It's...building a new order.

“According to the current various new policies of Cecil’s empire and the details of the religious reforms he implemented, we can be sure that there should be some opposition between his and God’s positions. At least, the two Not a camp.

“Based on this, it is not impossible for us to cooperate with the extraterrestrial wanderers on matters involving the upper-level narrators. "

After Selina finished speaking, the archbishops discussed again. Some people couldn't help but stand up and said: "But we can summarize the 'rules of conduct' of an indescribable person based on the fragmented information we have so far. What? His methods of action and goals may be beyond human understanding. How can we ensure the accuracy of what we have concluded now? ”

Selena looked towards the direction from which the voice came: “I can’t guarantee the accuracy. I can only say that within a specific period and within a specific scope, His goals do not conflict with ours, and we have also cooperated with Him.” possible. "

Someone stood up again: "Archbishop Selina, I think this is inappropriate - the wanderers from the outside may not be from the camp of the gods, but they are obviously not from our side. The Dark Sect is being eradicated in the Cecil Territory, and the Society of the Death of All Things has been uprooted. Our compatriots in the Cecil Territory are also constantly being captured and reformed by the local security forces and the Superhuman Correctional Center. He obviously doesn't like it. We..."

"The order he promoted does not allow the existence of out-of-control and extreme groups like the Dark Sect, but this does not mean that we cannot carry out 'partial cooperation'," Selina added, "The main power of the cult is within the territory of Typhon. We don't have to operate in Cecil, so that we won't directly confront the wanderers outside the territory. Under this premise, we and him may be able to reach an agreement on issues involving 'gods' tacit agreement. ”

Archbishops, you look at me and I look at you. They are obviously still in shock and shaken. Yuri Chalvin, who is sitting on Gawain’s left hand side, can’t help but cast his eyes to the right. He was exchanging ideas with another archbishop one seat away, while Gawain, who was sandwiched in the middle, was leaning on his chair, listening to the group of eternal sleepers discussing themselves, while his head was a little empty, and his mind was wandering...

Obviously, this was a common concern of everyone present, and it immediately aroused the echo of many voices. Yuri, who was sitting on Gawain's left hand side, stood up and looked at Daniel across the table: "Archbishop Daniel, What do you think about this? ”

Daniel: “?”
