The onlookers who seemed to be bidding farewell to the body finally left.
Gawain breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Amber, who was sitting on a nearby easy chair with his eyes closed, and then at Tier, who was waiting for "spiritual food" in the corner of the room. He calmed down slightly. Start to gather your energy again, settle your thoughts, and let yourself enter the spiritual network of the eternal sleeper.
......
Glenling, Cracked Stone Castle, in Patty's bedroom.
The brilliance of the giant sun completely fell across the mountains, and the faint starlight had already appeared at the end of the horizon on the other side. The bright magic crystal lamp lit up in the room, matching the courtyard lights inside and outside the castle. , street lamps together dispersed the increasingly dense night. Under this bright light, Patty was sitting at her desk, carefully reading a beautifully printed and simply bound textbook.
The content of the textbooks is not difficult, and it is only at the level of elementary education at the Imperial College of General Studies. However, Patty has really missed so much education that she has only started to learn these basic textbooks now.
But she was still very happy, because being able to sit in a chair and read like this safely without constant pain and twitching was a blessing she had never imagined in the past many years. .
A wisp of air blew from the vent in the corner of the room, blowing the hair beside Patty's face. The girl raised her head with feeling, but saw no one beside her.
Patty lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips in frustration.
It has been a long time since she had that incredible dream. She has never seen the kind "Sister Serena" again, she has never seen the grumpy red-haired uncle again, and she has never seen the self-proclaimed "Uncle Selcy" again. Big uncle.
Everything in that dream seemed to have turned into messy fragments along with her hazy days in the past few years, and became blurred in the girl's spiritual world that was gradually recovering. Her mother told her, Those were all hallucinations induced by the analgesic ointment. As her body gradually recovered, the weird and long dream would eventually be forgotten by her, just like every child's bizarre childhood fantasy gradually faded away, because Patty... …finally grown up.
But Patty would still think of those things in her dreams from time to time, those beautiful streets and gardens, and those kind people in her dreams... She never dared to tell her mother that she actually wanted to go back. Go to that dream world and meet those uncles and aunts again.
Because she forgot to say goodbye to them in her last dream.
But her mother would be worried, so Patty kept everything in her heart.
Another gust of breeze blew, but it came from the opposite direction to the vent. Patty quickly turned around, but still saw no one.
When only the corner of her eye swept across the glass window opposite, she vaguely seemed to see a warm and familiar lantern floating in the reflection. But when she rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, But nothing can be seen.
……
The light golden runes flowed like water on the surface of the large round table. Under the dim light, which was only for decoration, figures emerged around the round table.
Compared with the last Supreme Bishops Conference, there were obviously several vacant seats at the round table this time. The archbishops who were attending the meeting obviously noticed this, but they just glanced at the empty seats. seats, but no one asked.
Soon, almost everyone’s eyes fell on the position next to Selina Gale’s clone.
A special "participant" was sitting there openly, smiling at the archbishops.
"Everyone came on time." Gawain said with a smile, and looked at several people he knew in the meeting room - Archbishop Yuri was several feet away from him this time. The look on the archbishop's face was obviously much better than last time. Archbishop Magnan was sitting opposite the round table. He pursed his lips tightly and seemed to have no intention of releasing the spiritual storm. This made Gawain nod with satisfaction. .
That’s right. You don’t want to engrave everything into your subconscious mind. Is something like Psychic Storm used for self-defense?
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit weird. Obviously, even though this was the second time the extraterrestrial wanderer appeared, the archbishops were not very adaptable to this situation of "large neutral wild monsters suddenly becoming high-level members of the organization". The participants looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, a few people greeted Gawain with embarrassment, while more people could only squeeze out a smile, not knowing how to respond to "Wandering outside the territory." Only by doing this can one appear to be calm in times of crisis.
Gawain didn't take this seriously. Anyway, he had already expected a similar situation. After a brief greeting, he observed the venue and found that a few people were missing as expected.
“How many people seem to be absent?” He calmly looked at Megall III floating in the air, “Do we need to wait?”
“They unfortunately Contaminated by the upper-level narrator," Megall III's starlight aggregate slowly squirmed, and a gentle voice came from it, "It is no longer suitable to appear here again."
Gawain nodded. , casually said: "...Oh, that's really unfortunate."
Even the archbishop of the Supreme Episcopal Conference has been included in the purge list... It seems that Megall III has made great efforts to purge the order. It is indeed unusual. Is this preparation for the upcoming sect reorganization and core transfer?
To achieve this in two or three days, the Dream Pope’s ability is indeed extraordinary...
With a little emotion in his heart, Gawain shook his head and brought the topic to Regarding the pollution of the upper-level narrator: "Speaking of the pollution of the upper-level narrator, Selina, did the runes I gave you last time have any effect?"
"It produced a surprising effect. Effect," Selina responded immediately, with undisguised joy in her eyes, "The compatriots who were contaminated by exploring the No. 1 sandbox before saw thoseThe runes soon became quiet after that, and they were now given a 'rune tranquillizer' every six hours, and the most contaminated ones also stopped praying to the upper narrator. The isolation will continue for a period of time. After the incident is over, if they do not have recurring attacks, they can be declared recovered. "
"That's good," Gawain said in a good mood, "Look, the upper-level narrator can still be dealt with, right? ”
The “runes” he mentioned were exactly the Siren runes he handed to Selena when she talked to him through the mental illusion projection last time. They were from the Sea Devils of Tire. The patterns imprinted by the form
Although there are still many mysteries about the runes originating from the Kraken, Cecil’s rune masters have still not been able to fully decipher their mysteries, but Jenny’s research team has. Several types of effective rune combinations have been sorted out and used in some applications. They have been used to cure Daniel's mental illness and have been made into a "mental protection system" when fighting against the false god's body. It has proven its effectiveness, and now, those runes from the deep sea have been proven to be effective against the mental pollution of the upper-level narrator!
Of course, those who have recovered may fall into squid mania for a short period of time, Or becoming too energetic, too optimistic and cheerful within a certain period of time, these are all sequelae, but compared to being completely spiritually polluted and becoming a believer of the Unspeakable, or even losing one's mind and becoming a sacrifice, these "sequelae" are obviously It's acceptable, or even negligible.
To be fair, Gawain always felt that the siren's rune effect of "Let's dig for giant squid together" should actually be something similar to the erosion of gods. Spiritual pollution. After all, there is now evidence that the "racial totems" of the deep-sea salted fish have indeed stolen the god of the Lord of Storms. The pattern of their sea demon forms is obviously related to the authority of the storm, but the "racial totem" of the deep-sea salted fish spirits The effect of mental pollution is so funny that sometimes Gawain can't tell whether it is the evil god or the harmonic god. But one thing is for sure, there is no harm in becoming cheerful and optimistic...
This may be the so-called spiritual pollution that can fight against spiritual pollution...
The archbishops at the scene listened to Gawain and Selina talking about purifying the pollution of the upper-level narrator, but none of them No one mentioned the archbishops who were absent today and were declared as "believers of the upper-level narrators". They did not mention the "contaminated nodes" that had disappeared from the spiritual network in the past two days. Everyone was in perfect agreement on this matter. ——
Some people are polluted by the upper-level narrator and will come back soon after purification. Some people are absent today, which means they really cannot come back...
"Then, let's get back to the topic." After talking about the runes, Gawain took the initiative to end the topic. He turned to Megall III in mid-air, "You are ready for another action on Sandbox No. 1. ? "
"Everything is ready," the starlight aggregate in mid-air expanded and contracted.Moving, "including monitoring and assistance at all levels in the network, as well as dream shielding and guiding personnel in the real world. As for the specific personnel entering Sandbox No. 1... Having learned the lessons from the last time, we will no longer Send ordinary priests in. This time, there are only three people entering Sandbox No. 1 except you."
As soon as Megoir III finished speaking, the three figures sitting around the round table had already stood up. stand up.
Gawain was not surprised to see the three archbishops Selina, Yuri and Magnum.
Obviously, they have personally explored Phantom Town and dealt with matters related to the upper-level narrator 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 Gawain was not surprised - as the security director of the Mind Network, Daniel's role in Sandbox No. 1 is quite limited. It should be arranged to provide technical support in the backbone network to ensure the stability and reliability of the network environment and prevent unexpected data pollution in Sandbox No. 1.
"A team of four...with fewer people, there will be less trouble," Gawain nodded, seemingly not paying much attention to the specific "teammates", "What else is there? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
A female archbishop wearing a white robe with a slightly gloomy temperament stood up. She seemed to be the person in charge of technology: "As agreed, when you enter Sand No. After the box is removed, we will partially restore the time iteration of the system, and the time flow rate in the No. 1 sandbox will be increased to ten times that of the real world - this is what the sandbox security system can currently support without causing pollution to worsen. The highest magnification."
After the female archbishop finished speaking, Daniel, who was wearing a black robe, also stood up and continued: "During this period, the main network will use all remaining computing power resources to maintain The stability of the consciousness level can ensure that the pollution in the sandbox is not leaked to the outside to the maximum extent. This can be supported for one day in the real world..."
Gao Wen nodded clearly: "It's easy to understand - relying on time acceleration, you bought us ten days of action. Within these ten days, no matter how much noise we make in Sandbox No. 1, you will do everything possible to ensure that the outside world is not Pollution."
The gloomy woman nodded: "That's right, you can let go."
Gowen asked again: "If I don't do it within ten days. What should I do if the upper-level narrator is eliminated, or the operation in the sandbox fails?"
The gloomy female priest immediately replied: "...We will destroy all the brain slave nodes, all those established with the No. 1 sandbox. The connected priest will also commit suicide immediately to cut off the spread of the dream. We will try our best to prevent the arrival of the upper level narrator. As for you... we think you must have a way to leave."
"I am. There is a way to leave..." Gawain said, glancing at Magnum and the other three people around the round table, "The three of them can just..."
"I have written a suicide note.. "Yuri said calmly.
"Damn it! Magnum's loud voice immediately rang out, "We agreed that we don't need that thing!" "
Yuri glanced at the short red-haired man: "If you need to write another copy, I can lend you paper and pen - in the real world. "
"Damn, I don't need it! ! "
Gawain ignored the two archbishops who seemed to have a good relationship. He looked at Selina beside him: "Have you said goodbye? "
"We have met once. Selina said calmly.
Gawain nodded: "Okay, let's set off." ”
