Chapter 806 Departure

Those onlookers who seemed to say goodbye to the remains finally left.

Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the amber on the nearby easy chair with his eyes closed and rested, then glanced at Tyr who was waiting for "spiritual food" in the corner of the room, calmed down slightly, and began to gather his spirit and settle his thoughts again. , allowing yourself to enter the psychic network of the Eternal Sleeper.

...

Grant's Collar, Rock Crack Castle, in Patty's bedroom.

The brilliance of the giant sun has completely fallen across the mountains, and the faint starlight has emerged at the end of the horizon on the other side. The bright magic spar lamp is lit in the room, dispersing together with the courtyard lamps and street lamps inside and outside the castle. In the dark night, under this bright light, Patty was sitting at the desk exclusively for her, carefully reading a beautifully printed and simply bound textbook.

The content of the textbook is not difficult, and it is only at the level of elementary education in Imperial College of Liberal Studies. However, Patty really missed so much education that she has only started reading these basic textbooks until now.

But she was still very happy, because being able to sit in a chair like this and read without constant pain and twitching was a blessing she hadn't imagined for many years.

A gust of air blew from the vent in the corner of the room and ruffled the hair beside Patty's cheek. The girl raised her head with emotion, but saw that there was no one beside her.

Patty lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips in frustration.

She hadn't had that incredible dream for a long time, never saw the kind "Sister Serena" again, never saw the grumpy red-haired uncle again, and never saw the big uncle who called himself "Uncle Selcy" again.

Everything in that dream seemed to have been turned into messy fragments along with her undisturbed days in the past few years, and became blurred in the girl's recovering spiritual world. Her mother told her that they were all for pain relief. The hallucinations induced by the ointment, as her body gradually recovered, that strange and long dream would eventually be forgotten by her, as if every child's childhood fantasy faded away, because Patty... had finally grown up.

But Patty still thinks about the things in her dreams from time to time, the beautiful streets and gardens, and the kind people in her dreams... She never dared to tell her mother, in fact, she really wanted to go back to that dream world, Goodbye to those aunts and uncles.

Because she forgot to say goodbye to them the last time she had a dream.

But mother would be worried, so Patty kept everything in her heart.

Another breeze came from the opposite direction of the vent, and Patty turned around quickly, but still no one was in sight.

Only when the corner of her eye swept across the opposite glass window, she vaguely seemed to see a warm and familiar lantern appearing in the reflection, but when she rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, she couldn't see anything.

...

Pale golden rune brilliance flows like water on the surface of the large round table. Under the glimmer of light that is only decorative, silhouettes emerge around the round table.

Compared with the last Supreme Bishops Conference, there were obviously several vacant seats at the round table this time, and the archbishops who were normally present obviously noticed this, but they just glanced at the vacated seats, but no one was there. Ask out loud.

Soon, almost everyone's eyes fell on the position next to Selena Geer's clone.

A special "participant" was sitting there righteously, smilingly meeting the gazes of the archbishops.

"Everyone came on time." Gawain said with a smile, and looked at a few people he knew in the conference hall in turn - Archbishop Yuri's seat was separated from him by several seats, the archbishop's face His complexion was obviously much better than last time. Archbishop Magnum was across from the round table. He pursed his mouth tightly, as if he had no intention of releasing the mental storm, which made Gawain nodded with satisfaction.

It was originally, don't carve everything into the subconscious mind, is something like a mental storm used for self-defense?

The atmosphere was a little weird.

Obviously, even if this is the second time that an extraterritorial wanderer has appeared, the archbishops are not very comfortable with the situation of "large neutral monsters suddenly become the top of the organization". The participants looked at each other and exchanged glances. After that, only a few people greeted Gawain embarrassedly, but more people could only squeeze out a smile, not knowing how to respond to the "foreign wanderer" in order to appear calm in danger.

Gawain didn't care about this. Anyway, he had expected a similar situation. After a brief greeting, he observed the venue, and unsurprisingly found that there were a few people missing.

"How many people seem to be absent?" He calmly looked at Megall III floating in the air, "Do you need to wait?"

"Unfortunately, they have been polluted by the upper-level narrator," Megall III's starlight aggregate slowly wriggled, and a gentle voice came from it, "it is no longer suitable to appear here."

Gawain nodded and said casually, "...Oh, that's really unfortunate."

Even the archbishops of the Supreme Bishops' Conference have been included in the purge list... It seems that Megall III's efforts to purge the sect are indeed unusual. Is this preparation for the upcoming sect reorganization and core transfer?

To achieve this step in two or three days, the ability of this dream pope is indeed extraordinary...

With a little emotion in his heart, Gawain shook his head, and led the topic to the pollution of the upper-level narrator: "Speaking of the pollution of the upper-level narrator, Selena, did the runes I gave you last time have any effect? "

"It has an astonishing effect," Selena responded immediately, with undisguised joy in her eyes, "The compatriots who were contaminated by exploring Sandbox 1 before quickly became quiet after seeing those runes. , now they are given a 'rune sedative' every six hours, and the most polluted people have also stopped praying to the upper narrator. The quarantine will continue for a while, after the event is over if they do not repeat When the attack occurs, it can be declared cured.”

"That's good," Gawain said in a good mood, "Look, the upper-level narrator can still be dealt with, isn't it?"

The "rune" he mentioned was exactly the siren rune he gave him when Selena talked to him through mental illusion projection last time. It was a pattern printed from Tyre's sea devil form.

Although there are still many mysteries about the runes originating from the siren, and Cecil's runemasters have not fully solved their mysteries, Jenny's research team has sorted out several types of effective rune combinations and put them together. Some applications have been done. They have been used to cure Daniel's mental illness, have been made into "mind protection systems", and have proven their effectiveness against false gods, and now, those runes from the deep sea are proven It can effectively fight against the spiritual pollution of the upper-level narrator!

Of course, after recovery, people may fall into a short-term squid frenzy, or become too energetic, too optimistic and cheerful for a certain period of time. These are all sequelae, but compared with the believers who are completely spiritually polluted and become indescribable, they may even lose The mind has become a sacrifice to come, and these "sequelae" are obviously acceptable and even negligible.

In all fairness, Gawain always felt that the rune effect of "Let's go dig squid together" of the Kraken should actually be some kind of spiritual pollution similar to the erosion of gods. "Totem" indeed stole the god position of the Lord of the Storm, and their sea devil patterns are obviously related to the power of the storm, but the mental pollution effect of those deep-sea salted fish spirits is so funny that sometimes Gawain can't tell the difference. Whether Qingna is a god of evil or a god of harmony, but one thing is certain, there is no harm in being cheerful and optimistic...

This may be the so-called only spiritual pollution can fight against spiritual pollution...

The archbishops at the scene listened to Gawain and Selena talking about purifying the pollution of the upper narrator, but no one mentioned the archbishops who were absent today and declared as "upper narrator believers". When it comes to the "pollution nodes" that have disappeared from the mind network in the past two days, everyone has a very tacit understanding on this matter——

Some people, polluted by upper-level narrators, will come back soon after purification, and some people, who are absent today, will really not be able to return...

"Then, let's go back to the topic," Gawain voluntarily ended the topic after talking about those runes, he turned to Megall III in mid-air, "Are you ready for another action on Sandbox No. 1? "

"Everything is ready," the starlight aggregates in mid-air swelled and wriggled, "including all levels of monitoring and assistance in the network, as well as dream shielding and guiding personnel in the real world. As for the specific entry into the No. 1 sandbox, The personnel... have learned the lessons of the last time, we will no longer send ordinary priests in, this time, there are only three people who enter the No. 1 sandbox besides you."

As soon as Megall III finished speaking, the three figures sitting around the round table had already stood up.

Gawain saw the three archbishops Selena, Yuri, and Magnum without any surprise.

Obviously, they have personally explored the phantom town and dealt with the affairs related to the upper-level narrator for a long time, and they have once again become members of the exploration team.

As for Daniel, he was not selected for this operation, and Gawain is not surprised by this - as the security director of the Mind Network, Daniel can play a very limited role in the No. 1 sandbox, and he should be arranged in the backbone network. Provide technical support to ensure the stability and reliability of the network environment and prevent unexpected data pollution in the No. 1 sandbox.

"A team of four... With fewer people, there will be less trouble," Gawain nodded, seemingly not paying much attention to the specific "teammates", "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

A female archbishop wearing a white robe with a slightly gloomy temperament stood up, she seemed to be the technical person in charge: "As agreed, after you enter the No. 1 sandbox, we will partially restore the system's time iteration. The time flow rate in the sandbox will thus be increased to ten times that of the real world - the highest rate that the sandbox security system can currently support without causing pollution deterioration."

The female archbishop's voice fell, and Daniel, who was wearing a black robe, also stood up, and continued: "During this period, the backbone network will use all remaining computing resources to maintain the stability of the level of consciousness, which can maximize the Make sure the contamination inside the sandbox doesn't leak out, which can be supported in the real world for a day..."

Gawain nodded clearly: "It's easy to understand - relying on time to accelerate, you have won ten days for us to act, and in these ten days, no matter how much we make in the No. 1 sandbox, you will do everything. Possibly ensuring that the outside world is not polluted."

The gloomy woman nodded: "That's right, you can let go of your hands and feet."

Gawain asked again: "What if I don't get rid of the upper-level narrator within ten days, or the action in the sandbox fails?"

The gloomy female priest immediately replied: "...We will destroy all brain servant nodes, and all priests who have established a connection with Sandbox No. 1 will immediately commit suicide to cut off the spread of dreams. We will try our best to prevent the arrival of the upper-level narrator. , as for you... we think you must have a way to leave."

"I have a way to leave..." Gawain said, his eyes swept across Magnum and the other three people around the round table, "The three of them can..."

"I wrote the suicide note." Yuri said indifferently.

"Damn it!" Magnum's loud voice rang out immediately, "We said we don't need that thing!"

Yuri glanced at the short red-haired man: "If you need to write another copy, I can lend you a pen and paper—in the real world."

"Damn, I don't need it!!"

Gawain ignored the two archbishops who seemed to have a good relationship. He looked at Selena beside him: "Did you say goodbye?"

"I met once." Selena said calmly.

Gawain nodded: "Okay, let's go."
