Chapter 226

Gawain walked on the avenues of this "Imaginary City" with the face of Charles I, without worrying about the risk of exposure.

Because he has seen more than twenty Charles I along the way...

Charles I is not an earth-shattering handsome figure, but it is obvious that walking on the street with the face of Ansu's founding emperor has a different feeling. These eternal sleeper cultists who are immersed in the virtual world still have emotions and desires. mortals who still have personal hobbies in some... strange places.

All of this gave Gawain an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

Is this what the Eternal Sleepers are striving for, trying to create? An illusory, beautiful, even like a mythical world... dream?

Gawain can clearly feel that this virtual world is very different from the illusions he has encountered before. It is not only more magnificent, but also more real, and it is easier to indulge in it. Every leaf here, every ray of sunshine here. , even every speck of dust is shaped and behaves like the real world, while the "residents" who walk the streets enjoy it with contentment and joy, as if they don't remember at all It's like a virtual space.

Gawain was still a little surprised - he didn't expect that there would be so many people in the eternal sleeper.

If this huge city and the floating land and palaces in the sky are full of people, then the number of Eternal Sleeper cultists may reach a sensational level, and it is possible to be as large as one million.

A low-key cult group that's been developing stealthily...could there be such a population?

Gawain walked in this dream city with full of doubts, and in the process of contacting the city's "residents", he gradually increased his understanding of this incredible place.

Crossing the boulevard in the middle of the city, Gawain followed his instincts to wander here, looking for things that might reveal more about the city's mysteries, but when trying to pass through an unvisited dome, he couldn't. Don't stop.

The supposedly perfect "dreamland" had a loophole here. He saw that the light and shadow inside the dome building was messy and broken, and the floor paved with pure white marble only covered less than one-third of the area inside the building. In the vacancy of the marble floor, you can see a large gray-black dull void, and the messy and broken light in the air is connected with the void, forming a chaotic appearance.

This is the fourth "unfinished area" he has discovered in the city.

He thought of the information he had heard from the "resident" before.

This dream city was started in advance. It seems that in the initial plan of the eternal sleepers, they would have to prepare for a long time before activating this huge spiritual network. However, the change of the situation forced them to start all this in advance. As a result, there are many "loopholes" in the city of dreams. And not only is the dream city unfinished, even the lands and palaces floating in the sky are unfinished - many lands are only complete in outline, without any plants and colors on the surface, while the palace is simply an empty shell , which is a "spiritual void" enough to devour the mind.

Gawain didn't know what the "situation change" that prompted the Eternal Sleepers to activate this spiritual network in advance, but he instinctively believed that it was mostly related to the "return of the stars" - Tyre once said that those who were in the sea and the gods were talking with each other. The "Children of the Storm" who fought the siren seemed to know about the return of the stars and the recovery of the gods.

They often held grand astrological ceremonies, or painted paintings related to stars, ancient gods, etc. on the reef, and Gawain had reason to believe that the eternal sleepers who were closely related to the children of the storm must also know this information.

The stars returned and the gods woke up. In order to welcome this event, the cultists had to offer "sacrifices" that were not ready in advance?

This is the only reasonable explanation that Gawain can think of. Although there are still many unknowns, the general direction should be correct.

It's just that I'm afraid any cultist can't imagine that the stars of this world have been positioned correctly sixteen times - their gods still can't wake up.

It is not clear whether there are other gods on this planet, Gawain, but he knows that the only god whose whereabouts are clear is lying on the bottom of the sea, and there is not enough for the deep-sea harmony gods to eat.

In this way, the mental network activated in advance by this group of cultists is a waste of effort, and the loss of human and material resources, plan disruption, and exposure risks caused by their forcible advance in the process will deal a heavy blow to their arrogance. .

Thinking of this, Gawain couldn't help laughing happily, and shook his head and left the impassable dome with a smile.

He knows that the three major dark sects are rich in heritage. Even if all of them accidentally start some large-scale rituals in advance and suffer losses, they will not have any impact on their foundation, but in any case, the loss is loss—— At least in a short period of time, the frequency of their troubles will be greatly reduced.

The "residents" in the city are still "living" happily, and everyone has a beaming look on their faces. They numb their nerves with illusions and dreams, and are immersed in the joy of some long-cherished wish. I just don't know how long their happy mood can last—probably until the stars have passed, but none of them wake up.

In order to avoid trouble, Gawain did not return to the main road of the city, but walked along the path between the buildings, gradually approaching the central area of ​​this dream city, and the moment he stepped into the central area, he felt The surrounding atmosphere changed.

There is a solemn and solemn atmosphere lingering here. The relaxed and laid-back atmosphere of the outer city area disappears as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier. Gawain looked around in astonishment, but he actually saw a An extremely thin, almost transparent "wall" stands behind him, and this wall extends to both sides, seemingly enclosing the entire city center.

Gawain cautiously did not move, but carefully observed the situation around the transparent wall. He soon discovered that almost all "residents" were only moving outside the wall, and only a few "residents" would pass through. The wall, and these "residents" who pass through the wall are divided into two types, some walk in casually like themselves, and some have to stop in front of the wall for a long time, chanting some formulas or pressing their hands on the wall to enter some commands to come in later.

Is this a "permission lock"? Only qualified people can pass?

Gawain glanced down at his body in astonishment. He was convinced that he walked in casually, and even after passing through the wall, he realized the existence of this barrier due to the changes in the surrounding aura.

Do you have some kind of "high authority" here?

Where did this high authority come from... Could it be the "authority" of the eternal sleeper that he devoured?

Gawain frowned, if this is the case, then the group of Eternal Sleepers are really messed up in the permission system, and the members of the cult who have died don't even have their account numbers - they're just messing around wearing vests. come in...

But after thinking about it carefully, he found that this is not really a loophole - under normal circumstances, the death of this person is already equivalent to automatic cancellation. Who would have thought that there is still a devourer like himself wearing a dead man's vest come in...

In any case, Gawain raised a little bit of vigilance and decided to be more careful to avoid contact with others: the higher the authority, the less people can pass, and the fewer people can pass, and he will attract attention. The higher the probability, if the Eternal Sleeper swallowed by him is an existence like the Four Heavenly Kings and the Five Elders in this entire cult, then he will break into the highest authority space with the rest of the Heavenly Kings. As soon as the elder met face to face, everything was exposed.

He's not afraid that his battle at the spiritual level will be lost to these weak chickens who have less than a few hundred years of memory experience, but if he gets kicked out of this spiritual network, it will be a big trouble.

In the process of moving forward in such a low-key manner, he suddenly noticed a small square in front of him. An extremely beautiful light blue crystal was suspended above the ground in the center of the small square. The whole square is mysterious and beautiful, and around the crystal, there are scattered figures standing—they did not talk to each other, obviously they were not gathering here, and Gawain saw that several of them put their hands on them. The surface of the crystal, and the rest of the people just closed their eyes and stood there, as if thinking.

What are the crystals for?

Gawain frowned, and began to search for the memory of the Eternal Sleeper that he had swallowed. After a hard search, he finally found a hint from the messy and broken information - it seemed to be some kind of information used to transmit information. things, but also high-end goods.

Is it the superior communication node of the mind network? "Representational projection" of communication nodes in virtual space?

Gawain hesitated for a while, and decided that he couldn't let go of this opportunity.

He came to the square calmly, and put his hand on the crystal too - the cultist next to the crystal gave him a sideways glance, but no one spoke, the two closest people just moved slightly, Make room for Gawain.

Gawain didn't respond too much, just nodded slightly - he had established a connection with the crystal, and now he must concentrate fully.

After a few unsuccessful attempts, he finally figured out how to use the knowledge he had swallowed. Suddenly, he felt some pieces of information flashing in his mind, and the next second, the huge database was Open the door to him!

It worked!

Huge amounts of data and information were flowing in Gao Wen's mind. He observed in amazement the "database" constructed by these cultists of the Eternal Sleepers in this spiritual network, and once again sighed that the world could not tell whether it was advanced or not. Backward tech tree.

Who would have thought that a bunch of mad cultists would have created a huge network of minds, a huge virtual world, and a huge information exchange and processing structure in such a seemingly backward world like the Middle Ages!

Of course, they built all this rudely with unreasonable magic, and the use of this advanced system is also very primitive and backward. In Gawain's view, they are addicted to creating a virtual world of extreme enjoyment. Far more than using this network of minds to solve various real-world problems, but it is undeniable that this is really a great creation.

So great that Gawain couldn't help but make up his mind...

While the idea of ​​stealing techniques popped up in his mind, Gawain did not stop searching for those information streams—most of this information was useless, because this virtual world had just started, and most of its information network The content was reporting the operation of the illusory space everywhere, but suddenly, a message caught his attention:

"The plan for the eighteenth cracking of Gawain Cecil's memory fragment, and the announcement of the requisition of more computing power."
