Chapter 765 Return
Gawain stood by and listened to the conversation between Daniel and Selena, but suddenly he couldn't help but think of his experience in Kant a few years ago——
A dream that gradually invades reality, a reality that is gradually absurd and distorted, a nightmare creature that almost enters the real world...
In this world full of extraordinary power, dreams are often not pure dreams, and the boundaries between reality and fantasy... have always been blurred.
What Selena and her fellow church members are most worried about now is obviously that something in the sandbox gets out of control and enters reality, and that thing... I'm afraid it can't be solved by sending an army.
This bunch of dead nerds who are obsessed with cutting-edge technology finally made a big dent in themselves and everyone in the field they are good at.
"What's brewing in the sandbox..." Daniel's tone also became serious. He repeated these words softly, but his eyes couldn't help but swept across this eerily quiet church, and swept over the confused look in his eyes. The gray-robed old man who was standing quietly, "I hope it's not..."
The old mage did not express his concerns, but judging from the deep and solemn eyes of Selena and Archbishop Yuri, it was obvious that they had already thought of something from this church and the "upper-level narrator belief" represented by the church. In this weird place, out of occult common sense, no one says things that shouldn't be said.
"We need to report what happened here to His Majesty the Pope," Archbishop Yuri said after a moment of silence. "In addition, this town must be preserved, and more people will be called to conduct a more detailed investigation in the future."
Selena nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "In addition, regarding this sect that believes in the 'upper narrator', it is also necessary to conduct in-depth analysis of their customs and legends. Logically, any customs and legends are not out of thin air. generated, they most likely hint at internal changes during the out-of-control period of Sandbox 1."
She shook the lantern lightly, releasing the psychological suggestion to the gray-robed old man, then withdrew her gaze from the pulpit and looked at the door at the entrance of the church: "Leave here for now."
Daniel and Archbishop Yuri nodded in response, and the four high-ranking priests wearing owl masks also bowed their heads, and the group walked towards the exit of the church. In the direction where the uninvited guest left, it took a long time for a smile to appear, and he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of covering something with his palm, and said gently: "Safe journey, the upper narrator will bless you all..."
Gawain stood by the pulpit, glanced at the gray-robed old man casually, followed the pace of Selena and the others, and returned to the street outside.
In the small town, the night continued, and the chaotic and gloomy sky enveloped the earth. In the scattered houses, the warm and soft lights were still bright, and the brilliance with a deadly and eerie atmosphere emerged from those curtains or wooden boards. Leaked out of the gaps, and outlined the bizarre shadows on the street.
This made Gawain unable to bear a strange association: the whole town seemed like a shadowy dream, full of discord and weirdness, but the people in it could only realize this on occasional awakenings. A cold sweat broke out.
So... those "testers" who were sent into the sandbox and experienced thousands of years and dozens of reincarnations in the sandbox, did they "awake" for a moment by accident, and then noticed this dream What is the truth of the world? After realizing this truth,
What do they think of the "upper narrator" who created this sandbox world?
Is the old man in the church, his counterpart in Sandbox 1, a lost tester? Or... is the sandbox self-born "residents" to keep it going?
"On the day the bell rings, those who stay on the streets will encounter the sacred 'deletion'..." Selena said as if to herself, "But it seems that we are not affected. It is just not sure that in the real In Sandbox 1, does 'deletion' actually happen to the 'residents' who live in the sandbox."
"I'm more curious about what the so-called 'deletion' corresponds to," Daniel nodded. "When I go back, I will review the early records of sandbox No. 1, and maybe find clues."
Archbishop Yuri came to the center of the square. He was still in charge of the navigation and teleportation of the entire team. Layers of pale golden runes appeared beside him. The gentle and gentle Archbishop of the Eternal Sleeper maintained the operation of the runes and said aloud: "Monitoring team, prepare to lift the shield and perform 'dream jump' in two minutes."
A voice came from the rune: "The monitoring team has received it. After one minute, the shield will be lifted, and the dream jump permission will be enabled after two minutes."
Daniel and Selena walked into the rune range, and the other four high-level priests wearing owl masks were also in place quickly. Gawain swaggered to their side, preparing to return to the city of dreams with this team.
Just like when they came, although those priests could not feel Gawain's existence, they still adjusted their positions subconsciously, leaving a seemingly normal space for one person to stand.
One person moved a little slower.
Gawain couldn't help but glance at the high-level priest wearing an owl mask. In the last few seconds when the pale golden runes around him were about to take shape, he suddenly felt a trace of disobedience.
four people?
"One more person!!" Gawain's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he reminded loudly.
Daniel's response was very fast, and he didn't hesitate, he raised his hand subconsciously, interrupted Archbishop Yuri's dream jumping spell, and warned loudly: "One more person!"
The pale golden rune shattered instantly, and the dream jump that was about to take shape was suddenly interrupted. Archbishop Yuri was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Daniel's warning - as a senior archbishop, he immediately reacted and released the follow-up spell to stabilize The surrounding dreams were shielded, and he quickly ordered the monitoring team behind him: "There is a risk of Class II leakage - block the port in this area!"
The lanterns emitting a psychedelic light floated in the air, and the light rippled in all directions like substantial water waves, as if an invisible breeze was blowing through the heart, everyone felt that their spirits were clear and clear, and the sentence has been away for seven hundred years. The words came into Gawain's ears: "...Guard your mind, I'll sweep away the shadows!"
This made Gawain couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice - Selena Geer broke up holding the lantern and stood in the middle of everyone, with a gentle and peaceful face, but her brows were slightly wrinkled, and her eyes were as deep as water.
The attention of the three archbishops quickly fell on the four high-ranking priests wearing owl masks.
Until this moment, the people at the scene seemed to suddenly remember that there were only six people in the entire team when they set off, including three archbishops and three high-level priests. one extra!
The four priests stood together, masks concealing their true expressions, but judging from their tense limbs and slightly accelerated breathing, they were highly nervous and fully alert.
Under the Archbishop's gaze, they began to look at each other, as if trying to find out who the "extra" was.
Selena maintained the "clear" effect of the lantern, with a serious and low tone: "Recall, when was it abnormal?"
"After checking the hut," Daniel thought for a while, "I can't remember how many people came out, but I remember that four voices made the report!"
Yuri's tone was even more nervous and alert: "After entering the church, I clearly saw four figures - but I was completely unaware of the abnormality at the time."
His words made everyone at the scene realize the seriousness of the problem——
Including Daniel, there are three Archbishops of the Eternal Sleeper!
Every archbishop is a powerhouse in the field of mind and soul, an expert who can detect tiny anomalies in dreams, but in this "phantom town" formed by the overflowing data of sandbox No. I didn't even notice that there was one more person in the team!
This is a mental intervention that can affect high-level, even legendary powerhouses!
Although they woke up from this "confused" state immediately after being reminded, it was still terrifying.
"Start the investigation now," Selina's eyes swept across the four high-ranking priests, the light of the lantern in her hand gradually mixed from milky white to a twilight-like turbidity, "Open your mind and accept the inspection."
The light began to sweep over the four high-ranking priests, and Gawain's eyes fell on them.
The figure of one of the priests suddenly trembled, like a phantom projection with poor signal.
Archbishop Yuri's hand immediately condensed pale golden runes, and the trembling priest instantly turned into a hazy phantom that quickly became transparent in the air.
The light beam condensed from the pale golden runes swept across the phantoms, and vaguely, Gawain seemed to hear an indistinct voice screaming and howling. The phantoms dissipated together.
Daniel looked at Yuri: "Is it destroyed?"
There was a strange look on Yuri's face: "It should have been destroyed...but the 'feeling' is very strange, unlike any kind of mind I have ever destroyed...something like a 'semi-finished product'."
Just when Daniel wanted to ask something else, everyone heard a voice at the same time——
From the small church behind everyone, there was a sigh that seemed helpless and mocking: "Alas..."
With this sigh, the small church with the gray-white exterior wall quickly became transparent and illusory under the eyes of everyone, and gradually dissipated into the air.
The lights of the houses in the town also went out one by one with the disappearance of the chapel, and the street lamps on both sides of the road dimmed one by one.
The whole town returned to the state that Gawain, Daniel and the others had just entered.
But in the eyes of everyone, this place is several times more bizarre and dangerous than before.
The lantern in Selina's hand was still emitting a faint yellow light. Even if the "extra person" who was suspected of mixing in had been eliminated by Archbishop Yuri, she also used the lantern to illuminate everyone on the scene, and waited until everyone was gone. After receiving the inspection and confirming that there was no problem, she showed a slight sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Leave quickly, this place is strange, it is not suitable to stay for a long time."
Archbishop Yuri immediately continued to arrange the ritual of dream jumping, and notified the monitoring team behind to lift the alarm.
Gawain also stood among these eternal sleepers again. This time, he confirmed the number of people around him very seriously, and confirmed that there were no more people.
The pale golden runes gradually formed and closed.
Before the dream jump started, Archbishop Yuri couldn't help but look around, his eyes finally fell on Daniel: "Is there not more people?"
Gawain looked around, then looked down at himself, and nodded to Daniel: "The number of people is normal, not many."
Daniel also nodded to Archbishop Yuri: "The number is normal, not many."
"...I'll take a good rest when I go back," Archbishop Yuri smiled helplessly, and said while starting the dream jump, "I always feel that there is an invisible person standing beside me."
...
In the twinkling of light and shadow, the team returned to the square of the city of dreams.
"Archbishop Daniel, making you a member of the Supreme Council of Bishops seems to be quite the right decision," Selena Geer looked at Daniel for the first time after the teleportation ended, "Your alertness and vigilance allowed us to avoid A danger with unforeseen consequences."
"Checking all parameters and items after each mission is a standard operation for security personnel," Daniel smiled reservedly, "That 'extra man' is actually not very secretive, as long as we go to check, we will find it-- It's just that it weakens our idea of 'checking', and I just happen to have formed an unchangeable habit in this regard."
"Anyway, this reminds us, and it also allows us to accumulate some experience in dealing with the No. 1 sandbox, which can be used in the next exploration," Archbishop Yuri breathed, "Let's be here today. "
One by one, the figures disappeared in the square one by one.
Gawain and Daniel stayed at the end.
"Keep in touch, I will pay attention to this matter at any time," Gao Wen nodded slightly, and was ready to leave, "If there is more exploration, be sure to report."
"Yes, my lord."
