Chapter 819 Consider the Future

When the morning sun rose, a story that lasted for 1,523 years ended. At the end of the story, the gods did not come to the real world, and the fragile and insignificant human beings once again survived the disaster - the story of many people , it continues downward.

Semler clenched his battle staff and stood in the center of the hall for a long time, surrounded by countless priests and knights with breathless and exhausted faces. The information from the surface was sent to the archbishop just now, but it was as if The strange phenomenon that confuses the reality of the dream made him still afraid to confirm the final result. He and everyone still waited quietly with nervousness and anxiety.

The priests seemed to have waited a century for the brief moment when the light of the early morning light spread across the entire Orandel region.

Then, the starlight finally appeared in everyone's field of vision, and it appeared in the sky above the hall.

Semler heard an old and tired voice enter his mind: "It's over... compatriots, we are safe."

This is the voice of Megall III.

After a short silence, belated cheers suddenly resounded throughout the hall!

"Success!! We stopped a god!" "Outlanders and Selena Archbishop they succeeded!" "We survived, we survived!!"

Amid the tidal waves of cheers from all around, Wendy, who was caring for the wounded, slowly straightened herself up. The contamination in the depths of her spirit was fading. She felt that her soul had finally regained her freedom. She raised her head and saw that she was not Yuri in the distance is also casting his gaze.

"We succeeded..." Wendy slowly raised the corner of her mouth and said with a sincere smile.

Yuri showed a complicated smile. He took a deep breath and muttered as if speaking to himself: "...We finally didn't destroy the world."

A stream of light suddenly appeared in the center of the hall, and as the stream of light converged, a lantern condensed in everyone's sight, followed by a female figure holding a lantern.

"Archbishop Selena," Semler immediately greeted the figure, "You have once again saved the entire church..."

The halo around Selena gradually dissipated. Of course, she was just a projection reflected in the consciousness of the people around her. Facing Archbishop Semler, the lantern saint gently shook her head: "This time, It wasn't me who saved the church."

"Ah, the extraterritorial wanderer..." Semler suddenly reacted, "Where is he now?"

"The extraterritorial wanderer has gone back for the time being. After all, He just descended on a projection in our spiritual network. He will contact us again soon," Selena said softly, her eyes slowly sweeping across the hall, those cheering The priest, the tired but excited knight, and the servants who survived the disaster all came into her eyes. In the end, she lowered her eyelids, "Thanks to your hard work in the real world, we can achieve the final success."

Semler looked at Selena strangely, he found that the archbishop's expression was complicated, and his emotions did not seem to be as relaxed and excited as others, which made him deeply confused: "Archbishop Selena, you look... Something on your mind?"

Selena thought of the figure chasing the stars in the night, and the most difficult question she had ever answered in her life. She was silent for a long time before finally shaking her head: "I'm fine, just suddenly a little confused."

"Puzzled?"

"Archbishop Semler, what do you think is the greatest instinct of a civilization?"

"Instinct?" Semler pondered over this somewhat strange question, and after a while he said uncertainly, "Continuing itself?"

"What about beyond the continuation itself?" Selena asked again,

"Beyond living..."

"I...don't know," Semler shook his head. "It seems to me that it's hard enough for us to continue in this world."

"Yes," Selena paused for a second, then shook her head with a relieved smile, "and this itself is not your area of ​​expertise."

Semler deduced from Selena's reaction that this "Holy Maiden" must have experienced something in the confrontation with the upper-level narrator, and then suddenly showed this seemingly sentimental state, but at this moment, it is obviously not to ask these questions. when it comes to details. In the cheering atmosphere permeating all around, he was the first to calm down and asked, "Archbishop Selena, now that the threat of 'God's descent' has subsided, should we consider the future of the church?"

"Of course," Selena nodded, and restrained her emotions, "Although the situation is encouraging, there is not much time left for us to celebrate.

"I also saw the news from the surface just now. The influence of the upper narrator has spread to the real world. There are too many witnesses to the movement of the Throat of Orlandel. I am afraid the news of this aspect will soon reach Rose. Tower Middle - This headquarters is no longer safe.

"According to the plan drawn up by the Pope, we must immediately start the transfer of the headquarters, all members will leave, abandon the palace, take away all the research materials and materials that can be brought, and destroy the ones that cannot be taken away. Destroy the central pillar, the elemental shell, and the upper dome without leaving any clues.

"The strongholds set up in the empire will also be transferred. Under the chaos, informers and mutineers will soon appear. If necessary, we must be prepared to give up all strongholds.

"All compatriots go dormant, no longer do any church activities, wait for unified instructions, and transfer to Cecil in batches according to the previous plan - this work can be handed over to Yuri."

Selina said one by one, Semler listened with a serious expression, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's finally come to this point... It's a pity that after seven hundred years of business, it's just a matter of time. to the origin."

"It's better than destroying everything," Selena shook her head. "And we still have at least seven hundred years of accumulated knowledge, and a new force willing to accept us. It's not a complete return to the original point."

"What about the mind network?" Semler asked again.

"...After losing the support of the facilities here, the operation of the spiritual network will be greatly affected, but fortunately its foundation is built on our brains, as long as there are enough priests to survive, it can maintain a low level of operation, "Selena has obviously thought about this issue, and immediately replied, "After the transfer begins, the mind network will maintain the basic mode, and the city of dreams will not be opened until we establish a new headquarters in Cecil. His Holiness the Pope In the process of maintaining the sandbox, the loss is very large, and he will spend most of his time recuperating and recovering. The network affairs will be managed by me and Archbishop Daniel - mainly me, Archbishop Daniel is now in Aldernan, considering When it comes to security issues, he will only provide technical support."

"Well, I see," said Semler, nodding. "In this way, as long as the mental network is still there, it will be much easier to coordinate."

Then, Selena looked to the other side of the hall, to the computing node hall where the brain servants were located, and her eyes fell on the observation windows and the gate that was open.

Semler noticed her gaze, and before she could speak, he said with a hint of emotion: "Archbishop Magnum... please rest assured, we will bring him."

Selena shook her head and said softly, "No, bring everyone."

"All..." Semler was a little stunned for a while, then frowned, "You mean all the brains? I'm afraid... No, this will definitely cost more manpower and material resources, and it will affect certain transfers. schedule……"

"I know, but I've calculated everything we need. Our time is indeed limited, but as long as we do our best, we still have enough leeway to move all the brains to alternate safe locations," Selena looked at Semler. Her eyes, this may be her most irrational moment in the past few hundred years, but she will not affect the overall situation due to the flood of sensibility, the arrangements she makes at this moment are the result of careful consideration, "Transfer in batches, transfer in batches. To Orlando South County, Juniper County, Enchhawk County and the Tullenkins area. Cecil Rail Investments will help us arrange trains or hidden cars, the relevant lines will be cleared in the near future, and everything will be arranged properly.”

"...But I'm afraid it can only transfer part of it," Semler frowned. "The key is that there are not only brain servants here, but also in more remote strongholds, in addition to the railway lines invested and controlled by the Cecilians, There are several nodes used to maintain other sandboxes - moving immobile brains is much more difficult than moving normal people."

"Transfer as much as you can," Selena said. "If you can't transfer, try to maintain it wherever possible."

"Maintaining by choice? What's the point of that?" Semler frowned again, "The Mind Network itself doesn't need Brain Servants, they are just used to maintain the sandbox system. Now Project Zero has been terminated, and it will be in the future. It is impossible to enable it again, these brain servants..."

He looked at Selena in confusion, but only saw a pair of deep, calm eyes, unable to analyze her specific thoughts and emotions.

Selena closed her eyes, as if thinking.

It was some kind of redemption, an atonement for this wrong path; it was some kind of self-liberation, the first step in getting the cult of the Eternal Sleeper back on track; it was also a meaningful remedy, Cecil gained the end of all things The biochemical technology of the meeting, where not all brain servants have the possibility of curing...

But at the moment, she has a more important reason, and more convincing to everyone.

"This is the ticket," she opened her eyes and looked at Archbishop Semler, "the ticket for Cecil, for the Outlanders to accept us - Cecil has its own order and rules, and we want to renew it. Back in the sun, these principles must be embraced from now on. Archbishop Semler, make sure everyone knows that for every extra brainmind that survives, the time some of us will be sent to mines and factories in the future It will be shorter."

Then she added: "In addition, I also remind everyone not to take luck, don't think that you have the ability to avoid the incorporation and transformation of foreign wanderers, don't forget, this time He just projected his consciousness into the sandbox and devoured it. He has become the 'upper narrator' of the gods, and long before that, he has penetrated and controlled the entire network of minds."

Semler gradually felt awe-inspiring in his heart. He looked very serious and nodded slowly: "I understand."

Selina sighed with relief, and then a slightly odd expression suddenly appeared on her face: "Now... let's discuss the issue of Archbishop Magnum."

Hearing this name, not only Semler, but also Wendy and Yuri, who had just come to the neighborhood, sank their eyes in unison, with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Archbishop Magnum made a noble sacrifice this time," Wendy said in a deep voice, "perhaps, we should posthumously recognize him as a saint..."

"No, I didn't mean that," Selena raised her right hand, holding up the dream lantern, "I mean—"

The dream lantern burst into layers of gentle light, and suddenly, from the light came a voice with a loud voice that everyone was familiar with: "Hey, hello? Hey! Did anyone hear it? Did anyone hear it? What's up with this damn place, anyone hear?

"Hey! I'm stuck! It doesn't look like Sandbox 1! Can anyone tell me what's going on outside? Anyone? Anyone!"

Selena raised her hand and brushed it over the lantern, releasing the soul contained in the lantern. The scattered brilliance suddenly shrank into a figure in front of everyone. Magnum with short red hair and a short stature stood in the hall, showing his entire body. Out of a translucent state, staring at the surroundings.

The surroundings fell silent in an instant.

"I collected his shards at the 'border', just like the Pope collected mine," Selena's voice broke the moment of silence and embarrassment, "but it looks like it's causing him some trouble. ."

Magnum heard Selina's voice beside him, looked at the familiar hall in front of him in confusion, scratched his hair subconsciously: "What's the matter... I clearly remember that I have..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yuri Charvin standing in front of him.

Embarrassment quickly emerged from the confused expression. The corners of his mouth twitched, barely upward, and hesitantly greeted: "Ah, Archbishop Yuri, it looks like... we succeeded?"

Yuri stared at Magnum in front of him, silent for a few seconds, and then raised his right hand little by little——

Extend your middle finger slowly and firmly.
