Chapter 302: Meeting Again

Mary looked at her tutor nervously. She didn't really want to know what the words suddenly came out of her meant.

She was afraid of her mentor - even to the point of being a little afraid, if she could, she would have never revealed any magical talent herself, rather than climbed into this decades-abandoned building out of curiosity ten years ago. The Tower of No Lord, and saw the tutor who just moved here in the tower - now she is a second-level official mage, and according to the tutor, "may be able to become a middle-level in her lifetime", but in Mary It seems that becoming a second-level magician is not honorable at all, and it is even better to be an ignorant village woman in a mountain village.

At least, village women don't have to dissect countless animals, cultivate deformed monsters, learn how to connect human brains and monsters, and don't have to bear the pressure of the teacher's deranged mental state.

Daniel is a magician with mental problems. In fact, in the eyes of the few apprentices in the tower, this mentor is basically crazy. He is often immersed in a strange dream state, and even when he is awake, he has no healthy emotions. , He is irritable, irritable, gloomy and terrifying. He will let his apprentices eat rats and poisonous snakes, and he will release terrifying monsters and magical creatures into the tower because of a certain hallucination, and then drive the apprentices to fight those monsters. , not to mention the horrific magical experiments he conducted on himself...

Although Daniel occasionally has a state of gentleness and kindness, his madness is ten times longer than that, and under this madness, his occasional gentleness becomes even more terrifying.

The old mage remained in a sluggish state for more than ten seconds. He finally moved his body, and the young female apprentice raised her head suddenly.

"Teacher..." Mary bent slightly, "you'll be fine..."

Daniel looked at Mary for a while, and seemed to remember that this was his student after noticing the clasp on the other's neck. He muttered some vague words in his throat, then raised his hand and waved: "Clean up the laboratory. Clean, you can rest today."

Mary blinked, feeling genuinely relaxed, then she watched the old mage in front of her slowly turn her body and walked towards the exit of the laboratory. The mage's robe was bulging behind her back, like a snake-like artificial nerve cord. Probing out from the hem of the mage's robe, twitching convulsively.

Gawain didn't stay in the "simulated experimental field" for too long. After confirming that the old mage had been kicked out of the network by himself, he released the data diving state and returned to the surface of the spiritual network.

It was his original plan to put eyeliner in the Eternal Sleeper and look for controllable chess pieces-especially after finding out that the Eternal Sleeper had also made up an "extraterritorial rogue" character, his idea became more and more perfect After all, this cult group is too weird, and it is impossible for him to investigate everything himself, so it is inevitable to find such a chess piece, but that chess piece happens to be a Typhon magician, which is an unexpected gain.

After learning about Daniel's general situation, Gawain quickly sketched out many temporary plans in his mind. He believed that as long as he used it properly, the old mage would play a lot of unexpected roles.

He is not worried that this will increase the risk of his exposure - after successfully destroying Daniel's mind defense, he has already controlled the other party's authority in the mind network, and set up an "activation switch", as long as the other party mentions any "outside the domain" rogues infiltrate the network", the network connection will be cut off immediately,

And even if this security method doesn't work and the news leaks out, how can the Eternal Sleeper find out Gawain?

Their network is riddled with holes. Gao Wen has found countless loopholes and backdoors. First, this primitive and simple network has no real-name system, and second, there are no restrictions on changing skins. Address mapping and feature query are even more messed up. Thinking that it would be more difficult for those cultists to find someone from the spiritual network than to find a spell other than fireball from Rebecca's spell list——

Rebecca doesn't have a spell list.

"Oh, it's the uncle I saw last time!"

A crisp voice suddenly came from the side, and Gao Wen, who was wandering on the boulevard, was awakened by this slightly familiar childish voice.

He followed the sound and saw a little girl with long light brown hair running towards him happily, her footsteps jumping.

The "little girl" you saw last time?

In Gao Wen's mind, he instantly set up a character that corresponds to a standard middle-aged greasy male swindler, and it was also the type with the voice changer Lolita on, so the whole person was instantly enlightened and looked at the "little girl". At that time, there was no fluctuation in his heart: "Patty?"

"Ah, uncle still remembers me!" The little girl suddenly showed a very happy look, and jumped around Gao Wen, "Uncle, are you here again?!"

The corner of Gawain's mouth trembled, and he finally admitted one thing in his heart: the real body behind this little girl is probably not a middle-aged greasy male cultist. The abnormality index of creatures is five plus points higher than that of normal people, and it is quite difficult to jump to such a level, even a sectarian like Solderling can't do it...

Maybe it's a middle-aged greasy female swindler with a too young mentality...

"Uncle, what are you thinking about?" Patty's voice came again, "Uncle, do you like to be distracted?"

Gao Wen lowered his head and glanced at the little girl who couldn't reach his stomach, and found that this guy really couldn't be quiet for a second, so he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you always jumping around?"

"Because I like it!" Patty said with a look of course, and then wrinkled her nose, "But not at home..."

"At home?" Gawain felt that he heard a very interesting word, but before he could ask a question, a soft female voice came from the side: "Patty, are you disturbing a stranger?"

Gawain raised his head and saw a woman wearing a veil and a long skirt standing not far away, frowning slightly at Patty.

Patty immediately jumped over happily: "Ah! Sister Serena!"

Gawain watched the little girl jump into the arms of the veiled woman, who subdued the little girl with ease, and looked up: "I'm sorry, this child is not wary of strangers."

"Uncle is very good!" Patty said, looking up.

Serena bent over and pressed Patty's hair: "Then next time you have a chance to talk to uncle, Patty - you should go to rest."

The expression on the little girl's face suddenly became frustrated: "But I still want to play a little more..."

"You've been playing for a long time," Serena shook her head gently but firmly, "You can't be willful, understand?"

Patty hesitated for a while, but nodded obediently: "...Oh."

With this answer, Gawain saw the little girl's figure quickly fade in the air, and in just a few seconds, it turned into a particle of light that drifted in the wind: she left the spiritual network.

Serena straightened up and smiled politely at Gawain: "Sorry, I made you laugh."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Gawain shook his head, and at the same time made a quick judgment in his heart—

If it wasn't for the Eternal Sleepers playing too high-end, or acting for themselves, then based on the interaction between Patty and Serena and the scene they saw last time... Could it be that the "little girl" is really a little girl?

a small child? Will the eternal sleeper who can access the spiritual network at the age of eleven or twelve be a child? This is unrealistic even if it is a magical genius!

Or... is it a "family member" who was brought into the network by other eternal sleepers?

In this dream city, he has also seen other children, although there are very few, but there are indeed, those children are also in the same situation?

Does the Eternal Sleeper have technology that allows people without magical abilities to connect to the Internet? !

This last guess made Gawain's heart pounding. If this is true... then the technical value of the spiritual network of the Eternal Sleeper will far exceed his previous imagination!

His thoughts were fast, but he didn't show it. Instead, he casually said, "It seems that there are very few children here."

"After all, there are very few eligible situations," Serena smiled lightly, "We can't expose it yet."

The implication is that screening conditions are required... It cannot be exposed, so this is a test project with exposure risk?

Gawain casually chatted with the other party on this topic, but he did not produce any valuable information. After realizing that it might seem suspicious to continue, he calmly changed the subject: "I see The news of the project No. 0 soliciting computing power..."

"It's the time iteration experiment that has a computing power gap," Serena nodded. Those who can come to this area are all middle and high-level sleepers, and those who can stay for a long time are at least at the level of intermediate nightmare bishops. It's not surprising to say a few words on Project Zero, "It is difficult to adjust the deepest time flow rate through thinking acceleration, and the previous longest-running Sandbox No. 1 has only been maintained for a few hundred years - we need more A lot of computing power.”

"Sandbox" - Gao Wen's heart moved, and he heard a very interesting word.

This is a vocabulary that does not belong to the contemporary lingua franca, but is a combination of two words in the ancient Gondor lingua franca. Because of its simple and straightforward meaning, Gawain can understand it directly, but after understanding the word, But he only had more doubts in his heart.

However, he couldn't ask directly, because according to Serena's attitude, the Eternal Sleepers standing in this area should know a lot of truth about Project Zero.

And he asked enough questions.

It's easy to ask a question by picking a single person, so Gawain immediately ended the topic. He has collected a lot of information and vocabulary. Next time, he can find other sleepers in this area to talk about - or Find a way to cultivate the "chess piece" you just found.

After transitioning with some small talk, he nodded to Serena: "It took up a lot of your time, I should leave."

Serena smiled slightly: "It was a pleasure chatting with you."

Then the veiled lady said goodbye to Gawain, turned and walked towards the other side of the road.

The moment she turned around, Gawain's eyes suddenly condensed:

At this moment, this woman looks like Selena Geerfen seven hundred years ago!
