Chapter 759 Promotion

With a slight coldness spreading in his mind, Daniel's slightly chaotic thoughts quickly became sober.

The safety springboard is all normal, the port in the brain has led to the controlled shallow sea of ​​consciousness, the memory camouflage and multiple shells are working as usual, praise the extraterritorial wanderer's own mind is heavily armed, no one can escape from that flawless spiritual barrier There was a shred of abnormality in it.

Even if the other party is a powerful archbishop.

Daniel calmed down in his heart, he knew that he had entered the spiritual world, and in this spiritual world, the expression on his face was not at all abnormal.

"Which archbishop are you?" he asked with just the right amount of respect and calm.

The woman on the opposite side used an unfamiliar face. This face was probably created temporarily for this conversation. It was an act of disguising her identity, but Daniel asked. Normal reaction when talking to an unfamiliar Archbishop.

"Don't worry about it, this face is just an interactive medium, and now the Supreme Bishops' Conference is talking to you," the woman opposite said lightly, "Please be prepared to answer our questions."

Daniel showed a submissive look: "Yes, I will not hide it."

The woman on the opposite side nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Recently, you are investigating the church compatriots in the Aldernan area. Is there any matter?"

"That's true."

"It's not your job as security director, what's the reason for this investigation?"

"There have been many rumors about the failure of the mind network recently, and the security system has also detected abnormal fluctuations in some nodes. I am worried that the network security is threatened, so I launched an investigation."

"Why didn't you take the initiative to report, but chose to do private activities?"

"I'm not sure about the details of the situation, so I want to confirm first if the problem is with the security system. If the problem is related to the security system, I will handle it myself according to regulations. If it has nothing to do with the security system, I will naturally report it to the Supreme Bishops' Conference. This is to save money Religious staff, improve investigation efficiency”

"This explanation is reasonable..." The woman said, her words paused for a while, it seemed that the Supreme Bishops' Conference behind her was conducting quick discussions, and after a while she continued, "You mentioned just now that the security system has detected abnormalities in some nodes. Fluctuation, what is the specific situation?"

Daniel immediately took out his prepared remarks: "I found a 'blank connection', some nodes maintain a connection with the spiritual network, but there is no record of any data transmission, I suspect that a large number of computing resources are using Stealth ways are moved beyond surveillance, or 'swallowed' by vulnerabilities in the network..."

He said it very calmly, because this is indeed an anomaly discovered by his security team in the psychic network recently!

And he is quite sure: those abnormally lost computing power are by no means swallowed up by the master's "origin space", because the computing power quota required by the latter has already been "reasonably allocated" by him from the bottom of the mind network. , is not an "abnormal churn" by any means, and what he and his security team observed is indeed a real "abnormal situation".

These unaccounted-for computing powers must be part of the situation that the Supreme Bishops' Conference is trying to cover up recently.

And Daniel chose to say it at this moment, in addition to judging that the time is ripe and he needs to show his strength and value, there is a very important point

He is the security director of the Mind Network, and the person with the highest authority among the bishops. If the vicious situation of the Mind Network has developed to the point where the Supreme Bishops Council cannot hide it, then he must and must be the first to notice the abnormality!

At this time, if he said that he had not investigated any sensitive information, it would not be protecting himself, but it would be explaining that he had a problem!

The room fell silent for a while.

Daniel suddenly had a vague feeling. He felt that the whole world outside this room had disappeared from his perception in an instant. It seemed that there was only such a quiet room left between heaven and earth. Blocked, watched by every pair of eyes of the Supreme Bishops' Conference.

The woman in front of him just looked at him quietly.

Daniel knows that the final inspection has begun, and if he fails to pass, then his perception of this room will no longer be an illusion. The only "room" between heaven and earth will immediately become his spiritual cage, and his mind will Trapped in this room forever.

The conclusion soon came to him and the woman showed a slight smile.

"Mr. Daniel, are you willing to make a greater contribution to the order?"

"A bigger contribution?" Daniel pretended to be puzzled, "You mean..."

"You now have the opportunity to enter the Supreme Bishops' Conference and become a member of the Archbishop. Your talents in network security and network architecture are very important to us, and your concern about the recent abnormal fluctuations of the spiritual network will also be As you get higher data access rights and get answers," the woman said calmly, Daniel's figure reflected in her eyes, "Mr. Daniel, we will also remind you that a higher status means greater responsibility. , once you face the deeper secrets of the order, there is no chance to turn back.

"So, now you still have a chance to choose what is your choice?" Update the fastest computer ::/

Daniel thought for a moment with a solemn expression, then raised his head and said solemnly, "For the benefit of the sect, I have already put my life and death aside."

As soon as these words fell, the sense of "closed" and "unique" in the entire room immediately vanished, and the stagnant sunlight and dust were torn apart like a cracked mirror, disintegrating and disappearing everywhere, and the original bedroom turned into a blink of an eye. A splendid hall, and Daniel himself, is sitting next to a huge round table in the hall.

At the round table sit many figures in white or black robes. Those robes depicting silent stars and spiral patterns represent "wake dreams" and "peaceful sleep" respectively. These figures come from their seats. He stood up and applauded Daniel.

"Welcome to join us, Mr. Daniel." Across the table, a lady in a long white dress with a gentle and serene smile also stood up, "Your joining is very important to us."

Daniel instantly recognized the lady's identity, and guessed that the other party should be the main personality of the "interface" he had just talked to. He immediately stood up and said, "Archbishop Selena Gerfen."

"No need to be polite," Selena nodded to him, "Mr. Daniel, you have been promoted. Frankly speaking, this promotion is a bit rushed. We didn't have time to prepare a more formal ceremony for you, and we couldn't even show it to you in the real world. You congratulate, all this, and hope you can understand.

"On the other hand, you should still be a little confused right now, and you must be a little dazed about your identity change after becoming an archbishop. Originally, we should have given you more time to get used to it, but now the situation is special, and we need you to understand some things as soon as possible. , enter the state as soon as possible...

"The specific situation, His Holiness the Pope will explain to you personally."

Daniel maintained a polite and calm expression, but when he heard the word "His Royal Highness", he couldn't help but instantly tense up his nerves.

And almost as soon as Selina's voice fell, an amorphous cloud of starlight appeared above the round table.

Daniel had no idea when the starlight cloud appeared. In fact, he even suspected that the shapeless starlight had actually been floating in the center of the venue from beginning to end, but his senses completely ignored the existence of the latter. !

In the next second, Daniel bowed his head and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty the Pope!"

"Let's raise your head," the starlight cloud shrank and wriggled, and a voice sounded directly in Daniel's mind, "I'll go straight to the point, do you still worship the gods?"

Daniel's answer seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times: "I have no respect for the gods, their existence is only terrifying."

This is the standard answer for a true Dark Sect follower.

Countless people in the world who do not understand the truth have only fear and misunderstanding of the three major dark sects. They always think that those dark cults are extreme followers of gods, and they have fallen to the dark side of human nature because of excessive fanaticism and distortion of beliefs, and even some of the bottom cults. At the beginning of the teaching, I would have such a wrong idea, but as long as I have really come into contact with those distorted fallen divine arts, I have truly accepted a higher level of "baptism", and I have been exposed to those hidden knowledge, any dark believer will know them. What is the real "faith".

"Very good..." The starlight cloud group seemed to be very satisfied with Daniel's answer, "Then, what I want to tell you next will be the truth that most people in the world can't imagine... God, not only scary, but also A yoke on all mortals..."

Daniel blinked.

He knows this, and he also knows that the name of this lock is "Soul Seal". His master has been studying this steel seal. In the origin space, there are hundreds of researchers with formal establishments who are studying this lock. Stamp issue.

He even doubted that the knowledge about "Mind Stamp" would appear in Cecil's elementary textbook in a few years.

But here, he still has to show his astonishment appropriately: "A shackle?!"

The Pope's voice sounded in his mind: "Yes, a shackle, and what the Order of the Eternal Sleepers has been doing for seven hundred years is to find a way to break free from this shackle."

This time, Daniel was really surprised.

And he believed that even his master, the outlander, would definitely show a surprised and curious look when he heard this information.

"The way to break free from the shackles..." He couldn't help but repeat, "How can a mortal do this?"

"Let the minds of mortals run in a sandbox world without gods, until the minds of mortals are out of sight of the gods, until the connection between the gods and this world is broken," the voice continued to echo in Daniel's mind, "the The plan...is named 'Project Zero'."

Project number zero!

Daniel's breathing couldn't help but stop for a while, and then what came to his heart was heartfelt joy.

He finally came into contact with this project, and finally was able to understand its true content!

This project, hidden in the fog and directly controlled by the Supreme Bishops' Council, is actually related to the Mind Seal?

Immediately afterwards, he thought of many anomalies that had occurred in the mind network recently, and connected many clues.

This made the expression on his face become solemn and his tone became serious: "Could it be... what's wrong with this project?"

"We suspect..." The answer to him was Selena Geerfen, the archbishop who has survived for seven hundred years and now coexists with the spiritual network in the form of a spiritual body, shaking his head as he spoke, "We It is suspected that the power of God has appeared in a sandbox of Project Zero."

...

In the quiet room in the afternoon, the black-haired Marie was bowing her head, immersed in the ocean of advanced math practice questions.

As the last few numbers and symbols fell on the paper, the female mage who was obsessed with learning finally raised her head and glanced at the tutor who was sleeping peacefully in the easy chair.

The instructor seemed to be sleeping soundly.

For the past many years, it has been difficult for the mentor to sleep so well. The unbearable neurological headaches and auditory and visual hallucinations tortured the spirit of the old master, making him more irritable and irritable, while also depriving him of it. He had the power to sleep peacefully, and this situation lasted for more than ten years.

It was the gift from the "master" that gave the mentor a chance to improve, and indirectly saved every tortured apprentice around the mentor.

That "master" is terrible. Until now, every time Mary entered that "origin space", she couldn't help being a little nervous and fearful, but at the same time, she also had an unavoidable gratitude to that "master".

The instructor moved abruptly, causing Mary to wake up from a brief distraction.

She quickly got up and walked to the easy chair: "Teacher, are you awake?"

Daniel slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar room and a familiar apprentice.

The old master let out a sigh: "This time... something really happened."
