Chapter 811 Predation

Night is getting darker.

According to Selena, the first explorers who entered Sandbox 1 to check the situation were attacked after dark.

Gawain stood in front of the house, looking up at the clear and translucent night sky in the desert area. The surface was calm and calm, but he was secretly mobilizing his perception of the surroundings and mobilizing various arrangements.

Until now, no strange phenomenon has occurred, and no one has been polluted by the mind. Duvalt and Naritel are resting in the house not far behind, while Selena and the three remain alert and take turns. On duty inside the house.

This seems to be a peaceful night.

The desert after nightfall was quite cold, but this temperature did not affect Gawain. He took a deep breath and let the icy air cool his mind. amazed-

Such a real wind, such a real chill, the vast land, the twinkling stars, everything is the same as the real thing, how long did it take them to create such a fake world, and the sentient beings living in this world... How long did it take to realize the existence of box boundaries?

Feeling a move in his heart, Gawain gathered his scattered thoughts and turned his head to look in the direction of the door - Naritel, with long white hair that almost fell to her ankles, quietly opened the door and walked out. She stepped on the ground barefoot, There is almost no sound when walking, but he does not know how to hide his breath.

"Are you awake?" Gawain asked casually, looking at the strange girl.

Naritel quickly looked up at Gawain, nodded slightly, then came to a place not far from the door, sat down like that, put her hands on her knees, and looked up at the sky in a trance.

Although he always thought that the other party was strange and suspected that the other party was a minion of the upper-level narrator or a dangerous mind wandering in the No. 1 sandbox, Gawain couldn't help but asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Look at the stars." The white-haired girl sitting on the ground whispered.

"...It's obvious," Gawain was speechless for a while, and said slightly embarrassedly, "You don't sleep at night, just to run out to see the stars?"

Naritel was silent for a while, and then hesitantly spoke again: "Look at... the stars."

Gao Wen: "..."

He suspected that there was some kind of communication barrier between himself and the other party, but after hesitating for a while, he stood next to Naritel and asked seemingly casually: "How did you and Duvalt know each other? A travel companion?"

"...A traveling companion," Naritel's answer was still very slow and brief enough to be difficult to understand, but at least he was answering Gawain's question, "I don't remember."

"I don't remember how you met?" While understanding the other party's vague answer, Gawain guided the other party to say more things, "Then how long have you been wandering here?"

"Many...many years," Naritel said.

"Do you also believe in upper-level narrators?"

"...I don't know," Naritel shook her head, "I don't remember."

"You've been wandering here all these years? Did Duvalt tell you what the purpose of wandering was? Do you have anything to do?"

Naritel was silent for a while, then shook her head: "Look at the stars."

When Gawain guessed the meaning of the other party's answer, he heard Naritel add another sentence: "You are disturbing me to look at the stars."

Gao Wen: "..."

The communication seemed to be unable to continue, Gawain could only sigh regretfully, and judged that Naritel's mind should have some problems, and the memory and thinking ability were obviously lower than the level of ordinary people.

At this moment, a fire suddenly appeared in his sight.

In the distance, in front of the temple guarded by many pillars and stone statues, which has been abandoned for an unknown number of years, a large-scale bonfire suddenly appeared, and the flaming flames rose from the temple square.

The buildings that were immersed in the dark night a moment ago were instantly illuminated by this bright flame, and then more and more firelights or lights appeared on the top of the stone pillars around the temple, on the streets far and near, and appeared. Inside a house!

The whole city seems to be waking up quickly in the lights!

Gawain's eyes widened, looking at the rapidly spreading lights in the city, then suddenly turned his head to look in Naritel's direction——

Naritel, who was sitting there looking up at the starry sky a second ago, has disappeared for some time.

Gawain didn't even catch her breath change at all, didn't notice when and how she left (or disappeared)!

But he was already mentally prepared to face the strange situation. At this moment, there was no accident. He saw that the door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and the red-haired Archbishop of Magnum rushed out of it in one step: "That's called Du Walter's old man is gone!"

"I know," Gawain replied indifferently, "it's not just him - Naritel is gone too."

Magnum stared at him and noticed the lights that were lighting up all over the city, and his voice suddenly exploded: "All the ancestors of my family!! What's the situation?"

Yuri and Selena also walked out of the house. They had already heard the conversation between Magnum and Gawain outside the house. The lights that quickly spread across the city reflected on their faces. Selena only looked at them. After a glance, he turned his head to look at Gawain: "Is this what you're waiting for?"

"It looks like its patience is worse than I thought," Gawain nodded, "Get ready, the upper-level narrator is here—"

Almost at the same time as Gawain's voice fell, on the street in the distance, in the shadows between the houses, and between the boundaries of light and shadow intertwined by the flickering lights, countless eerie shadows suddenly emerged from the air. !

Those large and small shadows were crawling on the ground, moving quickly along the ground. At first, they looked like only the undulating mist at the border of the lights. It was not until some shadows got close that Gawain realized what it was—it was a spider. , countless spiders crawling on the surface in shadow form!

Countless shadows moved under the lights, and stretched or shortened from time to time as the angle of the light changed, as if there were invisible "real" spiders crawling against the ground, completely transparent themselves, but left on the ground. Strange shadows were cast down, and the moment he saw those shadow spiders, Gawain suddenly thought of what Duwart said to himself:

"There are a lot of spiders here at night, but don't worry, they are all gentle and harmless, and they will take the initiative to avoid people..."

These things don't seem harmless at all now.

Yuri opened his hands in an instant, and countless golden runes swirled around to protect everyone. Soft and warm lights also enveloped the audience. Selena Geer, who was holding a lantern, stepped forward, and the lantern shone Down, all the shadows crawling on the ground were quickly fading, and then, Magnum opened his hands, and his thunderous voice suddenly burst:

"Mind storm!!"

The powerful magic power instantly gathered and formed, and turned into a dim halo that spread in all directions. Wherever the halo passed, all the spider shadows paused for a while, and a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere filled the entire block—

An extremely effective soothing aura, a high-level spiritual spell, which can soothe all mental units, including enemies and allies.

But it couldn't pay Yuri, who was in a state of great consternation. The archbishop with a gentle temperament and a monocle almost exclaimed: "What about your psychic storm?!"

"Damn it! I forgot I'd replaced it with a soothing halo!" Magnum yelled.

Archbishop Yuri, who has a gentle temperament, is probably the first time in his life that he shouted so rudely: "You barbarian! Do you usually use your subconscious to cast spells!!"

"I used to be a priest of the God of War. I'm used to relying on my subconscious to cast spells. What can I do?!"

"Don't use this as an excuse - it's not that I don't know a normal Ares priest!"

The quarrel between the two archbishops from behind made Gawain a little stunned for a while. He never imagined that such a person would exist in the dark sect. These two people reminded him of Philip and Byron. , he even thinks that if Yuri and Magnum arrive at Cecil, I am afraid they will become national first-class comedians within a year...

But a warm and clear light interrupted all the chaos, and the lantern in Selina's hand shone with intense brilliance, and her voice sounded as if with some kind of power that could penetrate the endless curtain: "Quiet! Yuri, Mag Nan, you are affected!

"The darkness here is magnifying your character flaws and negative thoughts, and is confusing your judgment!"

Yuri and Magnum, who were about to quarrel more and more, were affected by Selina's lantern and awakened by her words. They suddenly opened their eyes, and instantly realized this subtle pollution and erosion.

In the next second, an extremely powerful spiritual energy erupted with Magnum as the center, setting off a real "storm" in the entire building and a considerable area around it.

At the same time, more shadows are still gathering in all directions, and more lights are lighting up the streets and alleys of Nim Sandra. The light and shadow seem to form an intertwined grid line, with the temple area as the center, It spread throughout the city, and even weirdly spread outside the city, and spread to the entire desert...

Overlooking all of this from the air, Nim Sandro and a large area around it are shrouded in this web of light and shadow, like a spider web, and the little mental storm that Magnum has set off is located in the center of this huge spider web, like a spider web. The struggling flying insects are like prisoners in the spider web...

In the darkness not far from Nim Sandra, on a strange mountain that stood abruptly in the desert, like an upside-down arthropod, an old cardboard lantern suddenly cut through the darkness, and the dim light reflected The figures of Duvalt and Naritil were revealed.

The former was holding a lantern and was quietly looking in the direction of Nim Sandra, while the city was completely shrouded in a huge spider web, and the shadow of a huge spider slowly patrolled the edge of the web, while the latter sat on the ground. , holding his knees with both hands, and continued to look up at the sky in a trance, staring at the sky full of stars simulated by the sandbox.

"The last prey has begun, Naritel," Duvalt said in a low, soft voice, "won't you come and see?"

Naritel sat unmoved, and said stubbornly, "I want to see the stars."

Duvalt frowned: "It's all fake, what's so good about it."

"But for me... it's true..."

Duvalt frowned and glanced at Naritel, then slowly shook his head: "It doesn't matter - after the predation, the real starry sky is waiting for us."

Naritel was silent, and after a long silence under the night sky, she suddenly muttered softly: "Cake, it's delicious, wine, it's not good."

Duvalt didn't hear clearly for a while: "What did you say?"

Naritel did not speak again.

Duvalt looked down at Naritel for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly: "...It doesn't matter."

Then he looked back and looked again in Nim Sandra's direction, at the final prey after the end of the world.

The net woven by the upper-level narrator will eventually catch the gleam of light from reality...

The shock wave of the psychic storm raged between the streets, tearing apart this world supported by dreams, the shadows of countless spiders were wiped out in the energy surge, and even the nearby houses and slate floors were turned into after several storms. The debris dissipated.

But the shadows were endless, and the lights all over Nim Sandro lit up a large night sky, and in the starry night sky, there were larger and more abstract shadows gathering, like some kind of predatory giant. Approaching the temple area like a beast.

"These things are weird - they can't be killed!" Magnum shouted from the center of the storm. "They must have a source, somewhere we can't see!"

Yuri maintained the protection of the golden runes and also raised his voice: "We should find a way to leave this city, this whole city is probably a trap!"

While trying to deal with the shadows of spiders and the ubiquitous mental pollution, Yuri and Magnum turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction of Gawain——

The upper-level narrators have already started their actions, the extraterritorial rogues... Is it time to do something? !

"Should you take action?!" Magnum shouted uncontrollably, "We can't last long—"

Gawain was standing not far from Magnum and Yuri, standing next to Selena Geerfen, he didn't do anything from beginning to end, just quietly watched the shadows come, As Magnum and others launched a counterattack, he quietly observed the chaos as if it had nothing to do with him.

Selena cared about his quietness, and it made Yuri and Magnum even more nervous.

What are the rogues waiting for? Why doesn't he act?

When such doubts intensified, almost shaking Magnum's confidence, Gawain finally let out a light breath.

"I see……"

(Mom!!!!)
