Chapter 783 Seriousness

When the two archbishops, Yuri and Magnum, regained consciousness, Gawain stopped direct communication with Daniel, and reverted to a stray outsider who was quietly listening and harmless to humans and animals.

From a certain point of view, he felt that this "extra person" who was acting with the Eternal Sleepers from beginning to end, but who was unknown, seemed to be the most terrifying element of this strange place...

On the other side, Daniel learned from Archbishop Yuri about his experience in recalibrating his mind.

"You said...you saw the projection of the upper narrator in the depths of your memory?" Daniel looked very serious, staring into Yuri's eyes, "and the part of your memory that symbolizes the 'underlying self' has begun to praise the upper narration By?"

Archbishop Yuri nodded with a gloomy expression, and Magnum next to him also echoed: "I also encountered a similar situation - damn, I went back to when I was a priest in the Church of God of War decades ago. The church was filled with people, and all of a sudden, everyone started praying to the upper narrator...I swear, since I gave up the God of War faith to become a nightmare teacher, until now, the worst nightmare I have weaved is this level It's gone!!"

Gawain listened to the two archbishops talking about their respective experiences, and realized that both of them should belong to the priests of the Eternal Sleeper who were "transformed" halfway. One of them was once a nobleman of Typhon, the other was a priest of the Church of God of War, But it is clear that they have completely broken with the past, and have been promoted to the top of the Eternal Sleeper through their own strength and long-term loyalty.

This is very similar to Daniel's experience - before he became a dark priest, he was a high-level mage who left the Typhon Mage Association, and he was also "transformed" into an eternal sleeper halfway.

"Now I have to confirm one thing," Daniel stared at the two archbishops Yuri and Magnum, "Have you been tainted by the upper narrator?"

Yuri and Magnum looked at each other, and neither showed any dissent.

In the depths of their memories, at the bottom of the subconscious that should belong to them, they have personally experienced the strange erosion of the "upper narrator". Trust your own judgment about your own situation.

After all, if the pollution comes from one's own subconscious, it is impossible for a person to realize that he has been polluted.

Daniel is the security director of the Mind Network, and he has high attainments in the fields of mental early warning and pollution protection. It is very reasonable for the archbishop to check.

But before that, Archbishop Yuri first raised the question: "Archbishop Daniel,

How are you immune to the anomalous environment here? "

The expression on Daniel's face didn't change - because he had already communicated with Gawain, and thought up the answer he should have at this time: "As a security supervisor, I have a habit of working.

"I have never completely immersed my mind in any first level of consciousness, and in doing this exploration I have retained a portion of my thought thread in the shallower layers of consciousness.

"When the town changed, my mind that stayed outside noticed the abnormality, and thus awakened myself."

Daniel was not just talking nonsense. What he said was an effective protection plan that he discussed with Gawain when he communicated with Gawain about the strange situation in this phantom town just now—the only part he lied in front of the two archbishops. , that is, he does not actually have this unique habit, and this exploration has not done any "distribution thinking" operation.

But after going back this time... maybe I really should develop such a "habit".

After all, the psychic network is no longer safe. Before the threat of the upper-level narrator is completely resolved, he, the security director who often deals with network pollution, must protect himself.

The two archbishops Yuri and Magnum seemed to have no doubts about Daniel's words. They nodded, and Magnum, with a loud voice, immediately asked: "How are you going to check whether we have been contaminated by the upper narrator?"

As he spoke, the Archbishop of the Eternal Sleeper, with a small stature and a big name, couldn't help but glance down at himself, and his tone was quite dissatisfied: "This damn place, I still have to use this appearance..."

"Our virtual disguise doesn't seem to work here," Archbishop Yuri glanced at Magnum, "You should calmly accept your real appearance - indulging in your own virtual disguise is not what an archbishop should behave. ."

"I know I know...you talk too much!"

Daniel didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two colleagues in front of him, he just nodded and answered Magnum's question just now: "It's very simple to check whether you are contaminated, but you need some cooperation - let go of your mind and let me Check your superficial memories. Don't worry, I can only check the superficial layers to confirm whether there is any belief about the upper narrator..."

He is hoping to take this opportunity to reasonably check the superficial memory of the two archbishops to collect some intelligence - it will not be too sensitive and offensive to check only the superficial memory, but it still needs reasonable reasons, and now this Seems like a very good opportunity.

Presumably the two archbishops would not refuse on the grounds of "eliminating the contamination of upper-level narrators".

Gawain on the side also showed a faint smile, obviously quite satisfied with Daniel's performance.

However, things did not develop as Gawain and Daniel expected——

Before Daniel could finish his words and before the two archbishops Yuri and Magnum could answer, a voice suddenly came from the nearby streets, it was the voice of Selena Geerfen:

"No need to confirm, Archbishop Daniel - if they were polluted by upper-level narrators, they would have become residents of this town at this moment."

The expression on Daniel's face almost changed, but in the end he remained calm and turned to the direction of the voice - Yuri and Magnum also turned their heads curiously, and saw a lantern first appearing not far away. alley.

Selena Geerfen was also not affected by the strange environment here? !

With the doubts that suddenly appeared in his heart, Gawain also turned his eyes with a little surprise, and saw the figure walking out of the alley with a lantern in hand.

He saw Patty.

The daughter of Lady Grant, a child running in the city of dreams, and Patty who calls Gawain "Uncle Selcy" in the dream world.

As Gawain remembered, she was wearing a pure white dress, long light brown hair draped behind her, her eyes were big, and she had healthy limbs in the dream world, but she was wearing something completely different from what Gawain remembered. His expression: that expression was calm and tranquil, with a poise that did not match his age, and there was a hint of maturity in the depths of his eyes.

She was carrying Selena Gerfen's lantern in her hand, and behind her were four high-ranking priests wearing owl masks who were walking unhurriedly towards this side.

Gawain blinked, calmed down in the shock of the explosion, and realized one thing:

What he saw was not Patty, but Selena Gerfen with Patty's face on.

In this "town after the bell rings", everyone has been stripped of the virtual disguise in the spiritual network, and turned to show the real appearance of the real world. The body of , the ancient soul living in the network with ideology, why does it take on the appearance of Patti Grant?

Patti Grant is Selena Gerfen in disguise? Or...

In a brief moment, Gawain thought of countless clues, and a large amount of fragmented information emerged like an explosion, and was finally connected into a whole by a line. He thought of Patty Grant's crown, and Selena. ·Gerfen took Patti Grant to walk and play on the boulevard of Dream City, and even thought of the lantern that appeared in the Kant area inexplicably, and thought of the scene around Cecil before the Southern Reunification War Traces of the activities of the Eternal Sleeper...

In the end, what he thought of was something he was investigating recently, a passage he saw last time in Selena Gerfen's profile:

Selena Gerfen, Archbishop (death), female, spirit body.

Current Location: Ansu/Modification/Cecil Empire-Southern Territory.

It turned out to be so.

Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, and many thoughts slowly settled in his heart. He was not in a hurry to make any conclusions about Selena Geerfen or Patty's state, but he already had a few more reliable guesses in his heart. When his thoughts were full of thoughts, Selena... Selena with the shape of Patty also came to Daniel and the others.

Gawain's concealment effect was still in effect, except for Daniel, none of the eternal sleepers at the scene knew that there was a bystander standing quietly beside them.

The three of Daniel saw Selena holding a lantern, and they did not hide their surprise—obviously, not only did Daniel see this for the first time, but even the two archbishops Yuri and Magnum saw this for the first time.” With the appearance of "Dream Saint", Magnum was the first to say, "Archbishop Selena, you are..."

"Didn't you guys also restore your true posture?" Selena responded indifferently without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

Her attitude is very calm and steady, and her voice is also the voice of an adult, but all this is placed on a little girl who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it looks extra weird.

In fact, Patty in the real world should be almost fifteen years old this year, but due to injuries, she always looks much thinner than her peers, which also affects her image in the spiritual network, and indirectly in the game. It is reflected in the "true gesture" of Lena Griffin.

"Real posture..." Daniel muttered subconsciously, and it took a lot of effort to keep his expression from appearing too strange.

"...My situation is very complicated, so don't go into it," Selena shook her head, then raised her head, her eyes fell on Yuri and Archbishop Magnum, "You are lucky, you just came into contact with the upper-level narrators. erosion, but not contamination."

"You don't seem to be affected?" Yuri looked at Selena in confusion, and the owl priests behind Selena, "How did you do it?"

Selena glanced at Yuri, lowered her head to look at her young body at the moment, and suddenly there was a hint of self-mockery in her eyes: "The contamination of upper-level narrators will erode deep consciousness... As a pieced together soul, one runs in the network. I have no deep consciousness.

"It is with this particularity that I not only resisted the erosion of this town on myself, but also had the opportunity to shelter other compatriots who were eroded."

As she spoke, Selena looked back at the four masked high-level priests behind her, sighed and shook her head.

"Unfortunately, I am a step behind. The deep consciousness of two people has been polluted, and they have become believers of upper-level narrators and become part of this town. With my ability, I can no longer find them."

The strangeness and danger of Phantom Town made Daniel and others shudder.

Gawain carefully observed Selena and the several "Owl Priests" behind her while she was speaking, especially the latter. In careful observation, he did not find that these people were being attacked by "upper narrators". "The sense of disobedience caused by the replacement, while slightly relaxing in my heart, but I dare not completely relax.

This made him sigh - the "weirdness" brewing in the No. 1 sandbox is really strange and dangerous, especially because it directly threatens people's minds, and it is even more unavoidable, making people never dare to relax their vigilance, even if he seems to himself It can be unaffected, and when faced with upper-level narrators and their related influences, they do not dare to put their hearts down at all!

"Archbishop Selena, we are now trapped in this 'town after the bell rings', and we can't contact the monitoring team at the back," Yuri did not reveal after confirming that the Selena Archbishop in front of him was indeed himself It seems to be relaxed in the slightest, but reports the current bad status quo. "And we still can't perceive the boundary of reality, and we can't directly disconnect from the network. The situation is not optimistic."

"I don't need to perceive the boundary of reality, but I can feel that there is a distorted barrier between this town and the normal network, which should be preventing us from leaving," Selena said in a deep voice, although the calm voice Putting it on a little girl seems a bit disobedient to pretending to be an adult, but no one at the scene cared about it. "I guess the key to this twisted barrier is in the center of the town, where the church stands..."

"Makes sense," Daniel said with a stunned look, "in the first exploration, the church appeared after the bell rang - and this is the town after the bell rang! We are 'outside' The church wasn't found, but it might be here!"

"Let's go," Selena breathed softly, "The church is not far, but we have already wasted a lot of time."

When the words fell, she had already turned around, holding the lantern, and walked towards the town square.

The Eternal Sleepers, who had already been downsized, stepped to keep up, and Gawain also followed silently, and glanced at Selena quietly.

... The short legs are going upside down quite fast, he couldn't help thinking.
