Chapter 763 Mysterious Church

The distant and mysterious bell suddenly rang in the town, and even the archbishop of the eternal sleeper couldn't help being nervous because of this sudden change. The three archbishops, including Daniel, raised their heads in unison, looking for the direction of the bell. , Selena noticed the changes in the town for the first time——

From the far end of the street, those houses that were originally dark with their doors and windows closed, turned on the lights one by one as the bells kept ringing!

This scene, as if the abandoned houses suddenly have residents, as if this lifeless town is quickly awakening.

Seeing that the lighted house was rapidly spreading towards this side, Selena Geer reacted immediately and shouted to the hut behind him, "Get out now!"

The three priests who were investigating the situation in the hut did not seem to have heard the bell outside at all, but after Selena gave a loud order, they rushed out immediately, returned to the street with a little confusion, and watched Those lights quickly spread from afar.

In just a few seconds, soft and warm lights were also lit up in the hut they were exploring before, and the door that had been opened just now seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand and slammed shut.

There were faint voices of conversation, walking, and moving tables and chairs in the hut.

This eerie scene made people on the street look at each other, and the three high-ranking priests wearing owl masks couldn't help pulling their collars, revealing a trace of fear.

Gawain frowned, came to the window of the hut that had just been lit, and looked in through the gap in the wooden planks of the window.

An Eternal Sleeper priest wearing an owl mask also leaned over, and seemed to want to observe the movement in the house through the crack of the window. Gawain gave way to the side and looked inside the hut together with the other party.

The Eternal Sleeper priest knew nothing about it.

In the hut, the lights were warm and bright, but no one could be seen. Only a bright lampstand was placed on the square table in the center of the main room. In the empty house, vague sounds echoed.

Very weird - Gawain thought.

"It's very strange," the high-ranking priest who was observing the situation in the house with Gawain retracted his gaze, and reported with a trace of nervousness and vigilance, "except for a light on, no residents appeared, and the sound came out of thin air. "

"...It may be memory echoes. In the abandoned mental space, there are still sounds and incomplete images remembered by the collective consciousness, and they are played in a loop as time goes by," Archbishop Yuri calmly analyzed, "Considering that there is overflow here In polluted areas, similar situations are likely to occur.”

"...It seems that there are no additional changes." Selena Geoff nodded after hearing Archbishop Yuri's analysis, and turned her eyes to look at the street - a warm and soft light from every window and Spilled from the cracks in the door, the iron-black street lamps on both sides of the road did not know when they were all lit up. This abandoned town shrouded in clouds was still empty, but it was already illuminated by lights, but the seemingly warm lights did not. It can't give people the slightest sense of security, but it makes every visitor feel a chill in their hearts.

But apart from these lights and inexplicable sounds, there really was no more changes in this town, and nothing dangerous happened.

Selena retracted her gaze and asked the high-ranking priests who had gone to investigate the house before: "Did you find anything inside?"

"There was no one in there,

Archbishop, and there is a long-abandoned 'atmosphere' that we suspect is some sort of residual emotional resonance..."

"There is almost no dust on all the utensils, there is still water in the water bottle, and the flowers have not withered. It seems that there were people living in it one moment ago, but suddenly disappeared the next moment, and this is a bit like the 'long-abandoned' 'atmosphere'. Contradictions, I don't know why."

"The light is suppressed inside, the Illumination can only illuminate a few meters away, and the edges are blurred."

"The dark shadows in the corners of the room are very eerie. I can't see any details in the shadows. It feels like there is nothingness hidden inside, and it's a bit like those undefined areas in the city of dreams."

Listening to the reports of the priests, Selena nodded and turned her eyes to the other direction of the street.

Her vision suddenly froze.

"That church over there..." She frowned tightly and pointed to the small square at the end of the street with her lantern, "Is there one before?"

Several lines of sight were cast in the direction Selena pointed at the same time, and everyone's eyes widened in amazement——

A simple and simple gray-white church with a spire and two small towers is standing quietly in the sight of everyone. The church is dark and quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the lit houses around it, but the church does not seem to be completely It was pitch black, and through a glass window in front of it, Gawain seemed to vaguely see a faint light in the very depths of it.

It doesn't matter what the church itself looks like, what matters is - it doesn't exist at all until the bell rings!

There used to be just an empty square!

The three archbishops couldn't help but exchanged glances. Yuri immediately stretched out his hand and pressed several times in the air, and a shimmering rune appeared beside him. When Gawain guessed whether the rune was some kind of more powerful While using the psychic protection spell, he heard the gentle and elegant archbishop speak: "Monitoring team, are there any new psychic fluctuations around us?"

The rune group rippled a circle of shimmering light in the air, and a young female voice came from the shimmering light: "Report to the archbishop - no new mind fluctuations have been observed."

Yuri nodded to Selena beside him: "It seems that this thing was not sent in from the outside, and there is no new overflow."

Selena frowned, stepped forward and asked the runes, "Have you observed the phenomenon of awakening of consciousness or a second dream?"

"Reported to the archbishop, and did not observe-monitoring shows that there are no large-scale spiritual fluctuations on your side."

With thought, Selena responded after a few seconds: "Got it, continue to monitor."

After dispersing the runes, Yuri asked hesitantly, "Do you want to check that church?"

Selena looked at the hand she brought, and then at the lantern in her hand. After weighing it, she nodded: "Check it out—we have never observed such an abnormal change in the overflow projection before, and it is still A 'church'...that might reveal to us the current state of Sandbox 1."

The Eternal Sleeper team began to cautiously approach the church not far away, while Gawain blinked behind him.

This... It turns out that when they moved, there was a monitoring team at the back to assist?

There was a sigh in his mind, Gawain shook his head, and followed Daniel and the others who were about to arrive at the door of the church.

The small church with a gray-white exterior wall stood quietly at the edge of the square, behind the dim windows there was a faint phantom light. a gap.

All the houses in the whole town seemed to have their doors and windows closed, but this church had its door open.

This abnormal situation made people more vigilant. Selena and others did not enter rashly, but began to collect information about this church from the outside and try to guess its situation.

Selena shook the lantern in her hand slightly, and the mysterious and elegant lantern radiated a peaceful white light. With the illumination of this white light, she approached the door of the church and carefully observed the lines on the ancient door. And the patterns on the walls on both sides of the gate.

Gawain showed some curious eyes, and Daniel stepped forward and asked, "Archbishop Selena, what are you looking for?"

"Sacred mark," Selina replied indifferently, "this is a church, and there should be a sacred mark to indicate which god it worships—perhaps, we can understand the pollution of the No. 1 sandbox by this. Where did it come from?"

Gawain instantly understood Selena's intentions, and also learned a new piece of information-it turns out that the Eternal Sleepers still haven't figured out which god is polluting Sandbox No. 1? !

He couldn't help but become curious about this, and began to follow Selena to check the pattern symbols on the gate and walls.

Sandbox No. 1 should be designed to be a "world" without gods, and the minds entering the sandbox have also been strictly adjusted and amnesticized to ensure that no one will retain memories of gods and have the idea of ​​worshipping gods. Therefore, In theory, there is no such thing as a "church" in Sandbox 1.

In other words, as long as a church or other similar "sacred elements" appear in the projection leaked from Sandbox No. 1, it must be related to the contamination of the sandbox by the gods!

However, after some inspection, neither he nor Selena saw any sacred emblems that matched their memories.

They only saw a fresco on the side wall of the church, which depicted a palm covering the sky and the earth beneath it.

This mural also appears on the walls of every house in the town.

Gawain couldn't help frowning -- could it be that this picture is actually a "sacred symbol", a religious symbol for the "residents" in this town?

While he was thinking about it, Selena and the others had already completed the external exploration of the chapel. After some deliberation, they decided to enter the interior of the church.

Gawain had to put aside the doubts in his heart for a while, and followed the footsteps of Daniel and the others.

Pushing open the hidden door, the wooden door that seemed to be some years old did not make any sound. Daniel followed Selena and Yuri into the church, only to hear a few footsteps echoing in his ears.

The old mage raised his head and saw that the "outer-territorial wanderer" was beside him, walking like a stroll in the dim church, and he felt a little relieved.

Several high-level priests wearing masks walked around the three archbishops, some lighting up the lighting technique, and some using the mental protection spell. In the hazy flickering light and shadow, the scene in the church came into the eyes of everyone——

Rows of empty seats are arranged in a church that is not too big. The old wooden floor is slightly bumpy. At the end of the front of the seats is a platform that is one step above the ground. On the platform are placed books for reading sacred books. On the wooden desk, a black lamppost stood beside the desk. A candle that seemed to be about to go out was placed on the lamppost. It was burning quietly, illuminating a small area around the pulpit.

And while the candlelight flickered, Daniel and the others saw a figure in a gray-white robe kneeling in front of the pulpit, seemingly praying silently.

Due to the dim light, no one noticed a figure that looked like a priest kneeling there before!

Everyone immediately raised their vigilance. Archbishop Yuri had a pale golden rune light and shadow in his hand, and Daniel also had a simple staff in his hand. Staff, or taking out orbs, or silently preparing spells, or unfolding spellbooks that record spells, although they are just a lonely prayer in sight, in this weird "overflow projection" , everyone is facing the enemy.

But with the necessary caution and restraint, everyone did not attack rashly.

Selena made a gesture to signal others to be vigilant, and she slowly walked towards the figure kneeling in front of the pulpit with a lantern in her hand.

The latter only responded when Selena was only a few steps away. The gray-white robe swayed, and the robe-clad prayer slowly stood up. With everyone's nerves tense, The figure turned his head and saw the uninvited guest entering the church.

It was an ordinary-looking old man with kind-hearted eyebrows, white hair and beard, and wrinkles all over his face. He didn't seem to feel the tense atmosphere around him, but he was just a little surprised and smiled happily: "Ah, it turns out that there are guests, On days when the bells are ringing, there are not many visitors to the church."

"A mind that seems to be communicable," said Archbishop Yuri, who summoned the golden rune slightly behind the Eternal Sleeper team, as if talking to himself, "Pause the reset process."

Gawain glanced at Yuri lightly.

On the other side, Selena stood calmly in front of the old man in the gray robe, the lantern in her hand emitted an immersive soft shimmer, and she asked in a natural tone, "What church is this?"

The old man in the gray robe seemed confused for a moment, and then said: "Of course... a church dedicated to the gods..."

Selena frowned: "God? Which god?"

The old man's eyes became even more confused. It seemed that someone asked this question, which itself had greatly violated his three views, but after a brief hesitation, he slowly replied:

"God...of course...the upper narrator..."
