Chapter 785 Return to Reality

The mental storm roared and raged, forming a real "storm" in this world formed by the power of the mind. Where the powerful magic power swept, many things composed of dreams and projections fell apart and vanished!

Archbishop Magnum raised his hands high, with a happy smile on his face.

In such a strange place, facing a group of distorted projections and sinister traps on the mental level is really not a lighthearted experience.

To be honest, he's really not good at cracking this kind of mental trap that is so hard to prevent.

But if it comes to the stage where both sides are exposed to blood... oh, then he will be in good spirits!

After all, he was a priest for the God of War before committing to the unpromising career of the cult.

The Ares sect has a weak influence in the Ansu-Cecil area, and the number of believers is not large, but in the Typhon Empire, the Ares Church is the most influential sect, and Typhon's army is even more stuffed with the Ares Church The priests, all of them are cranky old pigeons...

In the whistling mental storm, Gawain, who was in a psychologically invisible state, narrowed his eyes slightly.

The pale golden runes summoned by Archbishop Yuri flickered around the exploration team, forming a solid spiritual barrier. Outside the barrier, there was a powerful storm that seemed to destroy everything. Inside the barrier, it was quiet.

It turns out that these golden runes are used to defend against teammate damage...

There were a few thoughts of crying and laughing in his heart, and Gawain's line of sight passed the exploration team of the Eternal Sleeper, and turned to the church stairs not far away.

After all, the mental storm can only deal with those vulnerable projection residents and the square space that will not resist. The old priest with strange magic is still standing firmly at the end of the church stairs. Some kind of protection spell helps him resist the damage of the mental storm. , with a frenzied and frightened look on his face, staring at Selena Geerfen who was walking up the stairs step by step.

It was obvious that Selena was only a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, but as she stepped forward with a lantern in her hand, a terrifying aura spread around her, and that aura gradually suppressed the sky above the church. The holy and majestic sacred music suppressed the divine arts of the old priests with all their strength.

Gao Wen was not surprised by this situation.

After all, this exploration team is the elite of the eternal sleepers, and the leader of the team is a legendary powerhouse who was called "Saint" seven hundred years ago.

Although this legendary powerhouse has fallen in the real world,

But in a world powered by soul and psychic power, her strength will not be compromised in the slightest—maybe even more powerful.

In the beginning of the exploration, it was the strange characteristics of the Phantom Town itself and the overflowing power of the No. 1 sandbox that exceeded everyone's understanding, which created the crisis and pressure, but now... it has reached the stage of face-to-face confrontation between the two sides. How could a priest who is just a projection be Selena's opponent?

"Supreme upper-level narrator! Lower your strength! Punish these thugs who disturb the peace of the church!" Facing the extremely unfavorable situation, the old priest roared, and he seemed to finally make up his mind, ready to use a huge price to turn the situation around. The power of his, the layered halo behind him suddenly expanded, even covering half of the square, his voice was also integrated with the ubiquitous sacred music, resounding throughout the town, "May your kingdom come to the earth. , your will will be carried out, may you walk in the world, as in the pure land of heaven—”

Over the church square, the magnificent and holy "Voice of Heaven" became loud and clear again. In the halo behind the old priest, the layers of phantoms seemed to break through some kind of barrier and "squeeze" into this world, which was similar to a divine descent. The scene is obviously beyond what Daniel and others expected——

Such a projection, the projection of believing in the "upper narrator", can not only release ordinary divine arts, but even perform divine descent? !

At this moment, Archbishop Yuri even hesitated for a moment. He even wanted to wait for the old priest in front of him to complete the magical technique to see what he could summon - but he immediately extinguished this dangerous idea, because This idea itself is most likely induced by the enemy.

But before he was ready to join the other Eternal Sleepers to interrupt the enemy's Divine Arrival, the mighty Divine Technique suddenly stopped.

The sacred music in mid-air stopped abruptly, and the phantoms that appeared in the layers of halos also disappeared in an instant.

Even the old priest himself was stunned for a moment, and then showed a horrified expression: "Lord...for...why?!"

Selena stepped on the last step in front of the church. She raised her head and looked up at the elderly priest who was in a state of dazed despair. Although she looked up, her aura seemed to be overlooking: "You look surprised... Say, your magic can really summon part of the power projection of the upper narrator?"

"You heretical, what have you done!?" The old priest woke up, couldn't help but take a half step back and looked at Selena who was holding a lantern in horror and anger, "Why... why can't I feel the power of the Lord, Why can't I hear..."

"I didn't do anything," Selena looked at each other quietly, "Do I need to remind you again? You are just a projection, this town is also a projection, everything here is a projection.

"If you can still hear the voice of your 'Lord' in your previous prayers, then it must be a hallucination.

"If you can still perform the magic that your 'Lord' bestowed on you, then you are just overdrawing the power of this phantom town.

"Because, you are just a projection."

The lantern in Selina's hand emitted a milky white light, as if the sun shone into the depths of a dream and awakened people, penetrating the mental protection of the old priest.

And the word "projection" that Selena kept mentioning also followed the power of this light and penetrated into the depths of the other party's closed and locked consciousness.

The entire phantom town shook violently.

The high and low spires fell apart silently, the streets were covered with cracks in the blink of an eye, and everything began to disintegrate irreversibly, as if some kind of pillar supporting the world had disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the town was on the verge of ending.

Obviously, after confirming the power limit of the projection priests in the town, and realizing that the "upper narrator" in the No. 1 sandbox might establish a connection with this phantom town through "magic magic", Selena Ge Erfen no longer intends to keep this dangerous "sample".

"No...it shouldn't be like this..." The old priest in front of the chapel stepped back in horror, until he reached the door depicting the emblem of the upper narrator. There were black cracks all over his body, and the whole person seemed to be in It was like a rapidly broken porcelain, and the scene was terrifying. "The Lord will protect me. The Lord should be omniscient and omnipotent. Lord...why can't I hear..."

With a little pity, Selena glanced at the projection priest who had begun to question her own existence, and even began to question the upper-level narrator, then stepped forward and walked towards the church door in front: "The mission is over, evacuate."

The members of the exploration team silently followed the figure holding the lantern. They passed over the projection priest whose figure had begun to appear illusory one by one. The latter stretched out his hand in vain, as if trying to stop something, but he was already thin and illusory. Shadow, can no longer stop anyone.

Gawain stood quietly from the beginning to the end, watching the members of the Eternal Sleeper Expedition Team pass through the gate of the church one by one, and their breath disappeared one by one in this "town after the bell rings" until When the last person left, he stepped forward and came to the door of the church.

The sky has darkened, and the town began to gradually collapse and disintegrate from the outside to the inside. Buildings collapsed in the distance, and the torn black fragments flew towards the chaotic and gloomy sky like fallen leaves.

The fragmented body of the projection priest leaned against the door of the church, and his eyes were mixed with fanaticism and dazed expressions.

Suddenly, the figure of an uninvited guest was reflected in his eyes that were about to shatter.

Gawain deliberately lifted the effect of psychological invisibility, as if to verify something, he stood quietly in front of this projection.

"Can you see me?" he asked casually, bowing his head.

"You are..." The projection priest's eyes slowly widened, looking at the stranger in front of him in astonishment, "You are... what?!"

"I can see...it's interesting," Gao Wen smiled slightly, then shook his head, "It's a pity that you are just a projection, and the connection with the No. 1 sandbox has been interrupted, otherwise I really want you to help me. A word to the upper narrator."

The projection priest's consciousness has begun to slacken, and he subconsciously repeats: "Send a word?"

"Outlander, will visit your lord in the near future."

The last ray of light in the town disappeared.

The No. 1 sandbox overflow projection, which has existed for the longest time in the Mind Network, then vanished.

In the familiar light and shadow switching and brief vertigo, Gawain returned to the real world.

From the side came the sound of sipping melon seeds, and just as Gao Wen tilted his head, a handful of melon seeds were handed in front of him: "Here, eat melon seeds."

Gawain didn't take the things Amber handed over, but he was full of thoughts and muttered as if to himself: "After this, the Eternal Sleeper should take positive action against Sandbox No. 1..."

In the Phantom Town, the nameless projection priest did indeed use the power of divine magic-although his final divine descent failed, the "divine spell" itself meant the "upper level" in the No. 1 sandbox. The narrator" already has the characteristics of a god on some level!

And the deep pollution that Yuri and others encountered in the process of calibrating their minds shows that the "God-like existence" is not just an appearance, but has really been able to secretly pollute the outside world and have a substantial impact!

The Eternal Sleepers are not going to sit back and watch, and even if they risk it, they should take further action.

And Gawain himself... The last words he said to the projection priest were not random, because he had already expected that the actions of the Eternal Sleeper would have a high probability of failure.

The upper-level narrators "created" by the Eternal Sleepers themselves are too restrained in their own power.

Gawain has decided to find a way to intervene in the follow-up actions of the Eternal Sleeper, and even... when they open Sandbox No. 1, find a way to go in and find out!

Amber was accustomed to Gawain's daze from time to time. She put the melon seeds back into the snack box in front of her, and said casually, "It's bigger over there?"

"Yeah." Gawain responded casually, and his eyes fell on Amber.

The things in the spiritual network need to be paid attention to, and the things in the real world also need attention.

The figure of Selena Gerfen appeared in his mind.

"Amber—Is the search mission given to you still going on?"

"You mean the whereabouts of Selena Geerfen?" Amber nodded, "I'm still investigating, and I already have a highly suspicious target..."

"A highly suspicious target?" Gawain raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What is it?"

"The Kant area and the Gelan area have temporarily delineated these two suspect locations," Amber put down the melon seeds, clapped his hands, and said with a serious face, "The former has seen the 'Holy Relic' of the Eternal Sleep Religion like 'Dream Lantern'. The latter... Patty's crown is a very suspect object.

"If Selena Geerfen is using magical props to transfer her soul, then these two things are the most suspicious, and they may both be 'containers'.

"Of course, now the dream lantern has been transferred to Cecil City, but it has been dismantled into parts by Rebecca, and has been studied many times by Carmel, and it can be determined that its interior is 'empty', so I think, If it's a container, then Selena should be out of the way before that..."

Amber analyzed the situation clearly and clearly, and Gawain looked at her with more and more surprise.

It seems that even if he did not get the key clues in this exploration, the goose in front of him will find the clues of Selena Geerfen sooner or later with the intelligence power at his disposal, even if he can't directly lock Patty himself. Can narrow the scope to the latter side.

Gawain laughed, shook his head, and interrupted the words behind Amber.

"Make arrangements, I'm going to go to Glenn."

Amber slowly opened his eyes.

After observing Gawain's expression for a second, she blurted out, "Mom... I've been busy all this time?"

Gao Wen: "..."

Why is this guy getting sharper recently?
