Chapter 784 Spiritual Storm

Under the leadership of Selena, the Eternal Sleeper exploration team with only eight people left began to head towards the center of the town.

The dream lantern slowly swayed in the seemingly eternal darkness, and the dim light sprinkled on the silent and uninhabited streets. Daniel and the others were all on guard, keeping an eye on whether there would be any strange changes in the surrounding streets, while Gawain silently followed. On the side of the team, their eyes fell on Selena Geer.

Patty who likes to run in the dream world, Patty who is weak but still smiling hard in the real world, and this "Patty" with a solemn expression and a lantern in front of him, three shadows are circling in his mind, Overlapped with the scene in front of him, a strange impression gradually formed——

He seemed to see Selena Gerfen holding Patty's hand and walking in front of the team.

He shook his head, tossing the unreliable association out of his mind, and then raised his head, a ray of light rising from the far end of the street reflected in his eyes.

It is the morning glow.

Daniel and the others also stopped, watching a splendid brilliance abruptly cut through the darkness, and suddenly appeared at the end of this town that seemed to have fallen into the eternal night. The brilliance rapidly expanded in the eyes of everyone. Almost in the blink of an eye, it turned into an endless golden-red dawn, splashing recklessly on the scattered roofs of the town, and then the golden-red dawn turned into pale golden sunlight, completely dispelling the dark shadows between the streets.

A giant sun rises slowly in the sky, the light is radiant, and the darkness fades away.

"It's dawn..." Daniel stared blankly at the magnificent scene of the rising sun, as if he was shocked by the magnificent scene beyond words, but he quickly reacted, and a long staff instantly appeared in his hand. A variety of mind-protecting spells were swept across the entire team in just a few seconds.

Its daybreak! This is a sight that this phantom town has never seen before—it is in its third state besides midnight before the bell and midnight after the bell!

In this place, all phenomena that have never appeared only mean danger!

Other eternal sleepers also responded, preparing various offensive and defensive spells, or vigilantly observing the changes in the street, and soon, the changes happened in front of everyone——

A sudden figure appeared on the street.

It's like a phantom that suddenly woke up from a dream and entered reality. The streets of the town were empty one second, and the next second, countless shadowy phantoms appeared, and these phantoms quickly changed in the next few breaths. To be solid and real, they turned into pedestrians coming and going,

Turned into countless residents in the town!

These people wear classical costumes that are different from the real world, their faces are numb and hollow, and they sway on the street like wandering corpses, but they "wake up" quickly and quickly become vivid and flexible. Waiting for people to come and go, walking and talking, it seems that you have been living in this small town normally from the very beginning, as if this town has never been weird or unusual!

Archbishop Magnum's hands were filled with dizzying waves of light, and a powerful mental storm almost came out of his hands, but at the moment when the spell was about to take shape, the hot-tempered archbishop was cut off. own spells, and blocked the actions of others: "Wait a minute! Look at the situation!"

Archbishop Yuri was surrounded by intricate golden runes, and the offensive spells were almost shot. After Archbishop Magnum reminded him, he abruptly stopped casting spells and glanced around—

Those people who came and went on the streets of the town didn't seem to notice Daniel and his party at all. They were still busy with their own lives, busy on the road, busy talking with relatives and friends, the eternal sleepers standing in the middle of the road. The team is obviously so abrupt and eye-catching, but it seems to be invisible in the eyes of all the residents.

Daniel couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead.

This phantom town has become "lively", but this bustling, lively street is even more terrifying than the uninhabited street shrouded in darkness before!

"This is also the projection of Sandbox No. 1," Selena's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the team, "These residents should only be moving according to the data recorded in the projection, such as a large-scale illusion, and will not interact with us. interact."

"...This greatly inspired me to weave nightmares," Archbishop Magnum muttered in a louder voice than ordinary people. "Why didn't I think of such a scene before?"

"Go ahead," Selena shook her head. "Also pay attention to the content of these 'phantom residents' conversations. Their daily conversations may reveal part of the current situation of Sandbox No. 1."

The group continued to head towards the center of the town, walking cautiously on the streets of the town where pedestrians came and went.

Everyone is paying attention to try not to have contact with those "phantom residents" - although everyone is very curious about whether these shadows can be contacted, and what will happen after contact with them, but those who can participate in exploration tasks have at least basic knowledge Be cautious, no one makes such a bold attempt that may lead to consequences under the premise of unknown circumstances.

Gawain took part of his attention and listened carefully to the conversations of the phantom residents: he was also curious about the "life" in Sandbox No. 1.

Most of those conversations were of little value - like any normal, street-level chatter, the "residents" were talking about the weather, the harvest, the short of the family, the firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

The people in the No. 1 sandbox seem to be living ordinary lives. They are born, old, sick, and die in that virtual world. They have their own troubles and their own desires. They are running around for life and worrying about the future...

The only difference from the real world is that from time to time in their conversations, they will refer to the "upper narrator" - they pray to him, swear by him, and even consider it part of their everyday colloquialism.

They will say "even the upper narrator will be surprised" to describe the degree to which a thing is bizarre, and they will say "the upper narrator must know", which is actually saying that they don't know anything about something - Only God knows this.

Gao Wen frowned slightly, his mood fluctuating.

In a sense, the Eternal Sleepers really created a miracle, a miracle larger than the "false god's body" where all things die.

So many people have living real minds and "virtual personalities" created by sandboxes. They live in such a simulated world, and have lived their own colorful lives from generation to generation, with their own joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. And the pursuit of longing, it has been running for more than a thousand years before this world has flaws.

Such superb technology...

But can't you just do some human work?

If these tech nerds use half of their ability to kill to engage in artificial intelligence and other technologies, maybe they will soon restore the iron man's mind of the Gondor Empire! !

Gao Wen had a strong urge to complain, and the entire team had already reached the end of the street and the edge of the square in the center of the town.

The chapel with a gray-white exterior wall and a high spire was standing quietly in the square.

The steeple of the church is bathed in brilliant sunlight, and the outer wall is gleaming under the giant sun, symbolizing that in front of the wall painting of the upper-level narrator, residents are constantly stopping to pay their respects.

An elderly priest in a simple gray robe stood in front of the open door of the church, looking at the crowded square with a smile on his face. Residents stopped beside him and listened to the elderly priest telling about the upper-level narrator. The truth, everything seems so harmonious and beautiful.

It will almost make people forget that this is a strange projection located in the "imaginary number zone", forget that this is a phantom town full of twisted and dangerous forces, and forget that you are in an exploration team with a mission...

Archbishop Yuri woke up from his trance in an instant, he saw a lantern dangling in front of him, and Selena Gerfen's voice sounded in his ear: "Don't relax, remember that this is just a projection, everything here is all fake."

Gawain glanced at the few eternal sleepers in front of him in confusion, and muttered in his heart - what happened just now? Is there some kind of force trying to erode them? Why don't you feel it?

The elderly priest at the door of the church not far away raised his head, smiled and glanced at the eternal sleepers who were on the alert as if facing the enemy, and said softly: "Why resist? This is not a very beautiful world. Is it?"

As the priest's voice fell, in the nearby streets and in the square in front of the church, the town residents who were busy living their lives, those projections who had turned a blind eye to Daniel and others, suddenly all stopped, as if The momentarily still puppet-like stillness.

The next second, they slowly turned their heads in unison, and their eyes fell on several uninvited guests in the square.

The residents of the entire town quietly cast their gazes, and at this moment, even Gawain felt horrified!

Of course, the eternal sleepers are even more like enemies. Only Selina calmly met the gaze of the old priest, and after a few seconds, she slowly said: "Sure enough... you have a soul that is close to the real. You are this The projection formed by the master mind of the town?"

The old priest looked indifferent and shook his head slowly: "I don't understand what you're talking about, I just think you should try to stay here for a longer time - you are lucky to have the land sheltered by the upper narrator, why return to that dangerous nothingness middle?"

Gawain frowned slightly——Dangerous nothingness? What's the meaning?

Refers to the "imaginary number zone" outside this town? Or... some sort of current state in Sandbox 1?

Yuri's gaze fell behind the old priest not far away, and fell on the church with the door open. After carefully perceiving the information structure of this area, he lowered his voice and said, "That church is the exit— It should be connected to the phantom town on the surface and the backbone layer of the spiritual network."

Magnum snorted, "I guess that guy didn't intend for us to swagger in."

Selena slowly raised the soul lantern in her hand, and stepped towards the church not far away: "I'm curious, can your upper-level narrator really bless your soul here?"

"The upper-level narrators are everywhere..." The old priest slowly opened his hands, "Where the Lord's people stand, the Lord is..."

Layers of halos emerged behind the old man, and a huge oppressive force suddenly descended, and an ethereal, holy and mighty sound of sacred music resounded over the entire church square——

Except for Gawain, who could not be observed, everyone at the scene felt more or less that their minds were being pulled away, and their consciousness of resistance was disintegrating.

In this projected town, in the depths of the imaginary number area outside the No. 1 sandbox, an upper-level narrator priest who can only be described as a phantom, with the blessing of a certain "belief", displays A truly powerful magic!

Selena and Gawain, who was in a psychologically invisible state, changed their expressions slightly at the same time. The former took a step forward, and the lantern in his hand shone brighter than ever before, impacting the halo that emerged behind the old man, against the square. The power that pervades and makes people's minds continue to be pulled away.

The golden runes floated around Yuri, expanding into layers of barriers that could protect everyone. At the same time, the archbishop shouted without looking back: "Magnum! You can do something you are good at. !"

The red-haired, short-statured Magnum waved his hands: "Mindstorm!"

In an instant, the whole square was filled with layers of waves of light that seemed to be both real and illusory, and the tide suddenly turned into a splendid storm. Waves of "phantom residents" with fanatical expressions on their faces.

In this projection town supported by spiritual power, the spiritual storm, which should belong to a relatively secret spell, set off a real "storm!"

A large number of ferocious projection residents melted quickly in the storm like wax statues in the raging fire, and were torn apart. Gawain heard the roar of the old priest coming from the front of the church-after he really showed his fangs, the other party had already No longer maintain the pretense of gentleness and politeness before, a crazy, distorted mind is the true form of the other party!

More projection residents rushed out from the streets and alleys, and waves flocked to the exploration team in the center of the square. The owl priests guarding around the team cast mental attack spells one after another, constantly reducing the number of enemies, and Gao Wener On the bank, the thunderous roar of Archbishop Magnum sounded again: "Psychic storm!!"

The new storm hit, the slate floor on the square was torn apart by the "real storm", and the "projected residents" who kept coming in vanished into pieces. Happy, the discomfort in the minds of everyone's mind peeling off and resisting the subsidence of consciousness quickly diminished.

Immediately afterwards, Archbishop Magnum raised his hands again, and his voice was louder than the thunder in the storm:

"Heart-spirit-wind-storm!"

"Heart-spirit-wind-storm!!"
