Chapter 761 Looking Back Suddenly, that Person Is... What?
After finally figuring out the truth of the Eternal Sleeper's No. 0 project, and finally knowing what the paranoid "mind manipulators" want to achieve, Gawain's heart bursts with surprise, and there is another Lots of new questions.
"This No. 0 project...is it effective?"
"It should have a certain effect, otherwise they won't continue to promote the project until today, which requires an astonishing cost," Daniel replied. Obviously, even though he has been promoted to archbishop, he has not had time to contact all the people due to the short promotion time. The core secrets of the project, his knowledge of Project Zero is still limited, and some things can only rely on speculation, "In the process of communicating with other archbishops, I heard them vaguely mention, at least before the sandbox got out of control, In those dream worlds, a complete 'Godless Existence' was indeed achieved."
"But the sandbox is still out of control..." Gawain frowned, "How exactly did it get out of control?"
"The reason has not yet been found out, but Archbishop Selena Gerfen once mentioned one point-in the out-of-control sandbox, traces of gods are suspected to be found."
Gawain raised his brows slightly, he heard a familiar name in Daniel's report, but soon he put this matter aside for the time being, because another matter made his heart skip a beat:
Traces of the gods! !
"That is to say... the sandbox has been contaminated by the gods?" He stared at Daniel, "and the way of contamination is completely beyond the understanding of the Eternal Sleepers, is it a way that their technology cannot lock?"
"Yes, all the information related to the sandbox has been checked, and all the minds entering the sandbox have been subjected to extremely strict selection, but the sandbox is still polluted by the gods," Daniel said with a solemn expression, "out of control 's sandbox, called 'Sandbox 1', is the core of the entire Project 0, and the most complete and longest-running 'world construction' of all the test sandboxes."
Then the old master paused, and then said: "After losing control, the world is in a state that cannot be closed. It implements self-enclosure, and its interior is rapidly evolving under the effect of time iteration. Within hours, its internal historical process may have been completely out of the 'script' drawn up by the external game team, and now no one knows the specific situation there."
Daniel's report is full of professional words that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, and some words even feel a little out of date, but Gawain himself is already a professional in the field of Eternal Sleeper technology, so it is not difficult for him to understand.
He went on to ask, "Then how did the accident affect the normal functioning of the mind network?"
"The sandbox 'overflowed'," Daniel replied immediately, "although the sandbox is closed by design, you should know that its manipulation requires the intervention of the caster's consciousness, and the spell of the Eternal Sleeper is not like We made an 'immersion pod' that didn't have triple fuses and an emergency stop button on the lid, and relied entirely on the caster's own mind barrier for 'safety'..."
Gawain had a deep understanding of Eternal Sleeper's technology, and guessed the truth almost instantly: "The operator is contaminated."
"Yes, the operators responsible for monitoring Sandbox 1 at that time were contaminated, and then the overflow data used their brains as a springboard, quickly occupied several key ports, and began to spread to the psychic network - the spread was very rapid, wait until By the time people on the outside realised something was wrong, the contamination was out of control."
"What measures have the Eternal Sleepers taken so far?" Gawain asked with a frown, "Are they all effective?"
"They're constantly resetting and clearing contaminated areas,
Delete some of the short-term memory of the contaminated nodes, but these measures can only temporarily maintain the status quo. In addition, they also use a measure called 'hysteresis', which can produce reverse time iterations. It successfully The time-lapse speed of the box has been reduced to synchronize with the real world, which can be regarded as the most effective measure at present - otherwise, I am afraid that it will only take one to two days, and the pollution of the No. 1 sandbox will evolve to a level that no one can control. "
Hearing Daniel's answer, Gawain couldn't help widening his eyes: "That's all?"
Daniel nodded: "These are the measures currently taken-because they want to use my capabilities in network architecture and information security to solve problems, they have not concealed anything from me in terms of these countermeasures, intelligence should It's authentic."
"Didn't they try to forcibly cut off the connection between the sandbox and the backbone network?" Gawain was puzzled, "I mean forcibly cut off on the physical level in the real world."
"This will lead to the death of all the 'brain servants' that make up the sandbox world..." Daniel's expression seemed to be a little subtle when he answered here, "At least half of the archbishops are against this... Even the Pope is against it."
At this moment, Gawain even suspected that he had auditory hallucinations, and could not help confirming it again: "... They did not perform physical cutting because those 'brain servants' would die, and not for any other reason?"
Daniel nodded: "At least that's what I heard."
Gawain didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You...I mean them, aren't they cultists?"
"...I'm also deeply surprised, but the Eternal Sleeper Religion is indeed a relatively... 'moderate' dark sect compared to the End of Everything," Daniel's expression was still subtle, and the more he said, the more subtle, "Of course, The existence of 'things' like 'brain servants' may not be so gentle."
"...Maybe it's because they judged that the loss would be too great, and they don't want to spend a lot of money to 'make' a new batch of 'brain servants', which is similar to cherishing tools," Gawain couldn't think of it for a while. A better explanation can only be said casually to bypass the topic, "All in all, the Eternal Sleeper obviously has no better way to solve the problem, right?"
"Yes, my lord," Daniel replied.
"Then try your best to help them find a way," Gawain shook his head, although he was full of disobedience, he still had to say this, "The priority is to protect the spiritual network, if you really can't keep it... Evacuate in time, I will I will find another way to contact you."
"Yes, my lord..."
Daniel responded respectfully, but just halfway through his words, his expression froze for a moment.
Gawain noticed the slight anomaly of the other party: "Is there a situation?"
"I left a 'clone' in the city of dreams to deal with the situation, and now the clone has received instructions," Daniel replied immediately, "There is another overflow pollution area outside the city of dreams, and this time the pollution area seems to be somewhat Strange, the Supreme Bishops' Conference asked me and several other archbishops to check the situation."
"Then let's go," Gawain nodded, but when Daniel was about to take orders to retire, he suddenly had some bold ideas, "Wait."
Daniel lowered his head: "Please tell me."
Gawain smiled: "I'll go with you."
"My lord?" Daniel was a little surprised for a moment, but he quickly understood Gawain's intention, "I understand - I will prepare enough safety springboards for you."
Gao Wen snorted, and Daniel couldn't help but reminded: "Also, please be careful, I will be accompanied by archbishop-level eternal sleepers, and there may even be watching from the Pope, they can easily detect the spiritual network. Unusual fluctuations in..."
As soon as the words fell, the old mage felt inappropriate. He thought that he should not be so daring to remind a powerful "foreign wanderer" to pay attention to safety, and said: "I have overstepped, my lord, I should not doubt it. Your……"
"Don't worry," Gawain interrupted Daniel indifferently, "Let's go, to prevent those archbishops from doubting you."
Daniel didn't say anything else, he just bowed to Gawain, and then the light and shadow scene beside the two suddenly shook and shattered silently.
The bright sun shone on his body, and in the blink of an eye, Gawain was already standing in the city of dreams, on a magnificent circular square surrounded by hundreds of decorative pillars, and the edges were sprinkled with golden fallen leaves. .
There were only a few people standing not far away in the square, and Gawain soon saw the woman in a long white dress, with a gentle and peaceful smile, and a lantern in her hand—she was standing directly opposite Gawain. , that face is exactly what Selena Geerfen looked like in the latter's memory.
The lantern in her hand is obviously a "copy" made in the dream world - after all, the original has now been in Gawain's hands, and has been dismantled into parts by a group of people led by Rebecca.
But in this world supported by spiritual power, there is no difference between the role of the copy and the original.
Next to Selena Geer's avatar is a taller, gentler man, wearing a scholar-style robe and a monocle.
Judging from his temperament and position, it should be another Archbishop of the Eternal Sleeper.
Daniel was standing across from the two and was talking to them about something.
Gawain glanced beside him and saw that Daniel, who was standing beside him, had long since disappeared-obviously, his "information" had been re-integrated with the "clone" in front of Selena's eyes, but this process did not Anyone can find out.
In addition to the three archbishops, there were also three figures wearing standard black robes and owl masks on their faces standing beside them. Those special operations personnel who should be the eternal sleepers-directly commanded by the Supreme Bishops' Conference or the Pope, The kind that deals exclusively with confidential matters.
Advanced tool people don't need to care much.
After Gawain confirmed his state, he swaggered forward.
Everyone in the square was indifferent, as if subconsciously ignoring the appearance of uninvited guests.
Gao Wen couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
If he had just penetrated into the spiritual network, he would not have dared to act as boldly as he did today. After all, at that time, he only occupied the authority of a high-level believer, and his understanding and control of this network was also very limited. As for seeing the figure of Selena Gelfen, I have to worry about whether I will be recognized, but today is different from the past.
The mind network already has perfect address recognition technology - he designed it.
There is a more efficient identity feature expression technology in the network - which is also designed by him.
There are also the latest "stealth" loopholes, thousands of camouflage springboards, hidden data ports...he designed them.
In this way, he came to Daniel's side, listening to their conversation, and looked casually at the unfamiliar, gentle male archbishop.
Immediately above the latter's head, a screen of light that no one else could detect appeared, with clear letters on it:
Yuri, Archbishop, male, high peak.
Current location: Typhon-Sutini-Halentan Valley.
Is this person called "Yuri"...
Gawain glanced at the Archbishop of the Eternal Sleeper named Yuri, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Unfortunately, it is not bald, and there is no intubation behind the head.
Of course, in the real world, it might have been intubated—it might have been a bald head.
Gawain complained and joked in his heart, but he quickly gathered up his slightly divergent thoughts in a dull manner—he could only tell himself these stalks from the earth in his mind.
While listening to Daniel and Archbishop Yuri discussing the details of the action, he turned his attention to the other priests of the Eternal Sleeper. The latter also had words on their heads, but some were detailed and some were brief.
Finally, his eyes swept over Selena Geerfen casually.
At first, he didn't care much, because he knew this "Dream Saint". Although he didn't know how she lived like Bertila to this day, he at least knew the truth of Selena Geerfen. identity.
But when the words rose from the latter's head, Gawain's eyes suddenly froze.
Selena Gerfen, Archbishop (death), female, spirit body.
Current Location: Ansu/Modification/Cecil Empire-Southern Territory.
