Chapter 229 Inhumans

The Eternal Dream, which was once closed, was activated again. After a wave of fluctuations, this huge spiritual network gradually stabilized. Those magnificent palaces, temples, towers and floating islands rooted in spiritual illusions were rebuilt. The Counting Eternal Sleepers have also linked their minds into this network - they are both the users of this network, the builders and maintainers of this network, and they open up their brain computing power to the entire network, allowing this network The network dominates and takes as needed, and the difference between them and the "computing power providers" who are called "brain servants" and lie in hidden temples everywhere like the living dead is that they do not need In the process pay the damage of life and soul.

After all, the eternal sleeper is the master of the eternal dream, and these masters are not willing to sacrifice themselves until the servants are dead.

And in the deepest part of the Eternal Dream, in the "Dream Hall" underground in the city, the bishops and their Pope are ready.

Twenty-two seats are arranged in a circular symmetrical manner in the center of the room. Eleven white-robed bishops and eleven black-robed bishops occupy half of the seats as if separated by day and night, while the center of the ring seat floats a A hazy black phantom, the phantom condensed from time to time in human form, but more often it appeared as various indescribable clumps with lavender starlight—whether in the real world or in this In the virtual world, the Pope of Eternal Sleep never shows his true face. In fact, believers even believe that their Pope has already completed the sublimation of his life form and has become an existence equal to the power of dreams, and this illusory light and shadow is just the Pope in the world. The projection is just an "interface" for communicating with believers who are still mortals.

Today, the Pope will lead his bishopric to conduct the eighteenth attempt to decipher Gawain Cecil's memory fragment.

"The Eternal Dream has stabilized, and the spiritual network connection is good."

"The lower-level computing nodes are ready, and the 'brain servant' array is ready."

"The guardianship team has arrived and is ready to respond to emergencies in the real world."

"We are ready, His Holiness the Pope."

The bishops' conference reports the procedures they are responsible for one by one.

After everyone was ready, the indescribable hazy light and shadow floated slightly, as if to express approval, and his voice echoed in every bishop's mind: "Let's start - go see that What is there in the memory of an ancient hero?"

The information link to the memory fragment was connected, and driven by the huge computing power provided by the entire Eternal Dream, the terrible memory that had caused hundreds of casualties finally began to loosen - although the real situation was that Gawain deliberately There was a weak spot in the memory fragment, but apparently the Eternal Sleeper himself didn't notice it.

They are just happy to see that their long-term efforts have finally come to fruition, and a ray of light has appeared in the depths of the huge information fog. Parts entered the minds of every member of the Episcopal Conference.

At first, they saw a scene of starlight.

The deep and lonely universe, the empty and boundless space, and countless dots of stars dotted the dark and deep curtain. This scene confused the bishops for a moment, but they quickly thought that it was after the death of Gawain Cecil. Perspective: Do humans really return to the sky after death?

Before the bishops could figure out the meaning of the starlight, the scene in front of them began to change wildly.

They saw the starlight retreat, distorted light and shadow appeared in the field of vision, and they saw the owner of the perspective shuttle through the starry sky, passing one planet after another at an unimaginable speed...

They saw the owner of the perspective appear on a burning battlefield, huge demons raged on the battlefield, flaming meteorites fell from the sky, and soldiers wearing various unfamiliar equipment and unknown races were constantly rushing on the battlefield...

They saw the owner of the perspective leading an army to attack a fortress whose architectural style was incomprehensible. Fight fiercely with the legion led by the owner of the perspective...

They saw that the owner of the perspective suddenly came to a world of ice and snow, and a steel building with billowing smoke exploded in the wind and snow...

They see the master of this perspective traveling through different worlds, sometimes leading an army to sweep the battlefield, sometimes destroying an entire country alone, sometimes turning the tide in order to defend something, but sometimes destroying the entire planet. Under the flames of annihilation, he fights, protects, destroys, creates, and does all of this with an almost spectator coolness, as if it were all about accomplishing something Tasks, or simply entertainment itself.

This "feeling" is integrated in the depths of memory, and is directly transmitted from the owner of the perspective to the brains of every Eternal Sleeper Bishop on the scene.

And every time this perspective switches the world, it is accompanied by the same scene: an endless starry sky, followed by the illusion of passing through the starry sky...

The bishops of the Eternal Sleeper trembled, letting the memory wash their minds, they dared not think about it anymore, but the memory was still playing-until the end, they saw the starry sky reappear, and As the starlight shifts, a planet shimmering in the universe appears in the background, and the owner of the perspective pounces on the planet - its earth zooms rapidly in the field of view, and some details above the earth are so Familiar, so familiar that people dare not think about it.

And this time, the owner of the perspective seems to have turned the direction when he rushed to the earth - the bishops of the eternal sleepers saw the starry sky again, in the familiar starry sky that can be seen from the Loren continent. , they saw dots of light zipping through the stars, and some kind of huge, metal-cast structure was hanging high in the sky, and an incredible invisible effect was gradually covering the structure, letting it disappeared from the eyes of the world.

Memories end here.

The illusion faded like a tide, and everyone's eyes were refocused. The bishop's conference's consciousness returned to this hall. They looked at each other in horror and found that all their colleagues had been soaked with sweat.

No one took the initiative to speak, because no one could think of what to say at this moment, and it was not until half a minute later that the illusory light and shadow in the center of the hall broke the silence: "Let the Nightmare Mentors waiting outside temporarily take over the Eternal Dream, and the bishops convened. An emergency meeting. Today's affairs must not be shared."

Eternal Dream quickly completed the shielding and cutting of information. After the entire hall became a safe and closed space, a white-robed bishop couldn't help but say: "The authenticity of that memory fragment..."

"There is no doubt about the authenticity, I have checked it myself," Pope Eternal Sleep sounded, "It is indeed a real memory, not a woven illusion - everything in the fragments is a real experience."

"Gawain Cecil's resurrection is indeed fake..." Another white-robed bishop's voice trembled a little, "The one who woke up is not an ancient hero at all! In that body, there is a foreign, non-human being. Human, indescribable...existence!"

"What is his purpose? What will he do?"

"We can't sum up the rules... Those messy and broken memories, those scenes... There is almost no logic to be found! That 'inhuman thing' seems to be traveling through worlds, constantly changing the body that he uses, he sometimes It's like saving the world, sometimes it's like destroying it, and sometimes it's just hanging out in the world, and that behavior has no purpose at all - we simply can't understand how a being like that thinks! "

"Do those worlds really exist? Those...worlds so different from ours, do they really exist, or did they exist?"

"This has nothing to do with us. The biggest problem now is still to understand the 'inhuman thing' occupying Gawain Cecil's body, and to understand what he wants to do when he comes to our world-'this time ', Does he want to destroy, protect, or just pass by? Or...will he make...more terrifying or weird actions that he hasn't seen in those memories?"

"It's impossible for him to pass by!" A black-robed bishop who was more concerned about the situation in Ansu suddenly said, "he chose to use the body of a founding duke as the carrier of 'this time', and also established a territory near the Dark Mountains. , like a mortal, he started to develop and build, and this must have its purpose. And he also killed an eternal sleeper bishop..."

"That bishop caused disaster by acting rashly," someone interrupted the black-robed bishop next to him. "Of course, if it wasn't for his rash action, we wouldn't have gotten the information now."

"All in all," the Pope suddenly spoke at this time, the scene fell silent immediately, and everyone quietly listened to the Pope's voice echoing in their minds, "perhaps we should use 'He' to call that inhuman thing... …”

"Your Majesty, what action should we take?" a white-robed bishop asked cautiously. "No matter what the inhuman thing is going to do, it is a huge factor of instability. Should we consider..."

"Don't take action!" The Pope stopped this thought with an unprecedented stern tone, "The situation is very likely to get out of control!"

"But the body he uses now is just a mortal. Maybe we can destroy his 'carrier' and banish him to where he came from... Maybe even destroy him completely!"

A black-robed man standing opposite the bishop shook his head: "Too risky. In those memories, we saw him travel through countless dangerous worlds, and those battlefields and desperate situations were more dangerous than any sinister situation we have ever experienced. Terrible, in some pictures, we can even see the scene of him falling - but he never died, but can return to the battlefield again and again, which shows that destroying its carrier cannot cause effective damage to it at all, and even if it is destroyed Even if he is exiled, He can also come back. As for the seal... Who can guarantee that the known sealing method will be effective against such a non-human thing? If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous. And everyone must always remember one thing: He The body used is just a 'carrier', and I am afraid that he can change it at any time, so any action on that carrier... is meaningless, but only makes us lose the only clue."

"There is a more important point," the person beside the black-robed bishop added, "don't forget the scene we saw at the end of those memory fragments - there is more than one shuttle in the starry sky, and there are There is a hidden steel palace still hanging among the stars, which means that the inhuman thing is probably not alone, he has the same kind, and there is a nest, once we act rashly, it will attract more..."

The bishop did not continue to speak, but his meaning was quite clear. Everyone in the hall was aware of this hidden danger, so the needle fell on the spot for a while.

The bishops suddenly felt that this situation was really strange, even so strange that it made people laugh or cry.

A group of heretics who are opposed to civilized society... They are actually struggling with this kind of thing, how to face an "inhuman thing" - if this inhuman thing is really coming to destroy the world, maybe they will not be entangled, But the crux of the problem is that they don't even understand what this inhuman thing is for!

This caused the cultists to fall into a state of great helplessness.

The Pope sighed - this is probably the first sigh since he transformed his own life form.

I thought that the cracking work had made great progress, and I could take this opportunity to understand the secrets of Gawain Cecil back then, and to understand some truths about this world, but who would have thought that the memory fragment would reveal a completely unexpected The clues everyone expected...

Or... is this part of the truth of the world?

The pope's phantom agitated, he shook his spiritual power, and sent his own words into everyone's mind:

"Remember the lesson of the previous 'contactee', don't act rashly, don't rashly test, first observe carefully until we have more information, and then carefully contact them."
