Chapter 759： Promotion

With a slight icy feeling spreading in his mind, Daniel's slightly chaotic thoughts quickly became clear.

The safety springboard is normal, the ports in the brain have led to the controlled sea of ​​shallow consciousness, memory camouflage and multiple casings are functioning as usual, praising the extravagant wanderers-their own minds are heavily armed, and no one can go from there flawless Minor anomalies were seen in the barriers of the mind.

Even if the other party is a powerful archbishop.

Daniel settled in his heart, he knew that he had entered the spiritual world, and in this spiritual world, the expression on his face was not abnormal.

"Which archbishop are you?" He asked with just respect and calmness.

The woman on the opposite side used an unfamiliar face. This face may have been temporarily generated for this conversation. This is an act of concealing identity, but Daniel asked it. This is a mindless and ambiguous sleeper. Normal response when talking to an unfamiliar archbishop.

"Don't worry about this. This face is just a layer of interaction. Now the Supreme Bishop is talking to you," said the opposite woman, "please be prepared to answer our questions."

Daniel showed obedience: "Yes, I will never hide it."

The opposite woman nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Recently, you are investigating fellow church members in Aldernan. Is this the case?"

"It's true."

"It's not your job as a security officer. What's the reason for the investigation?"

"There have been many rumors about the failure of the mental network recently. The security system has also detected abnormal fluctuations in some nodes. I am worried that the network security is threatened, so I launched an investigation."

"Why not voluntarily report it, but choose a private event?"

"I'm not sure about the details of the situation, so I want to confirm whether the problem lies with the security system-if the problem is related to the security system, I will handle it according to the rules, and if it is not related to the security system, I will naturally report it to the Supreme Bishops. This is In order to save the teaching staff and improve the efficiency of investigations "

"This explanation is reasonable ..." The woman said, her words paused a bit, it seemed that the Supreme Bishop behind it was discussing quickly, and then she continued to say, "You mentioned that the security system detected abnormalities in some nodes. Fluctuations, what is the situation? "

Daniel immediately took out the prepared words: "I found a 'blank connection'. Some nodes maintain a connection to the mental network, but there is no record of data transmission. I suspect that a large amount of computing power is being used to The covert method was shifted out of surveillance, or 'swallowed' by vulnerabilities in the network ... "

He was very calm, because this is indeed an anomaly recently discovered by his security team in the Mind Network!

And he is quite certain that the computing power lost abnormally is not swallowed up by the "origin space" of the owner, because the computing power quota required by the latter has already been "reasonably allocated" from the bottom of the spiritual network. It is by no means an "abnormal loss". What he and his security team have observed is indeed a "abnormal situation."

These unknown computing powers must be part of the state of affairs that the Supreme Bishops have been trying to cover up recently, and Daniel chose to speak out at this moment, in addition to judging that the time is ripe and that he needs to show his strength and value And there is a very important point-

He is the security director of the spiritual network and the person with the highest authority in the bishop class. If the vicious state of the spiritual network has developed to the extent that the Supreme Bishops cannot hide, then he must be the first person to detect the anomaly!

At this time, if he said that he had not investigated any sensitive information, that was not his protection, but that he had a problem!

Quiet for a while in the room.

Daniel suddenly had a faint faint feeling-he felt that the whole world outside this room disappeared in his perception instantly. It seemed that there was only such a quiet room between heaven and earth, which was blocked here , Blocked, watched by every pair of eyes of the Supreme Bishops' Conference.

The woman in front of him just looked at him quietly.

Daniel knows that the final inspection has begun, and if he fails to pass, then his perception of this room will no longer be an illusion-the only "room" in this heaven and earth will immediately become his own prison of mind, his The mind will always be trapped in this room.

The conclusion came quickly to him-the woman smiled.

"Mr. Daniel, are you willing to contribute more to the Order?"

"Greater contribution?" Daniel pretended to be puzzled, "You mean ..."

"You now have the opportunity to join the Supreme Bishops Council and become a member of the Archbishop. Your talents in network security and network architecture are important to us-and what you are concerned about is the recent abnormal fluctuations in the spiritual network. It will also be answered as you gain higher access to data, "said the woman calmly, with Daniel in her eyes," Mr. Daniel, and we will also remind you that a higher status means Greater responsibility, once you face the deeper secrets of the Order, you have no chance to look back.

"So, you still have a choice now-what is your choice?"

Daniel thought for a moment, with a somber expression, and then looked up, saying calmly: "For the benefit of the Order, I have already set aside my life and death."

As soon as this sentence fell down, the "closed" and "unique" feeling of the entire room disappeared immediately. The stagnant sunlight and dust were torn apart like a broken mirror, disintegrating and disappearing everywhere. The original bedroom was transformed into a blink of an eye. A splendid hall, and Daniel himself was sitting next to a huge round table in the hall.

At the round table, there were many figures wearing white or black robes. The robes depicting silent stars and spiral patterns represent "waking dreams" and "quiet sleep", these figures from their seats Stand up and applaud Daniel.

"Welcome to join us, Mr. Daniel," across the round table, a lady in a long white dress with a gentle smile also stood up. "Your participation is very important to us."

Daniel recognized the woman's identity instantly, and guessed that the other person should be the main personality of the "interface" that he just talked to, and he immediately rose to greet him: "Archbishop Selena Gelfen."

"No need to be polite," Selena nodded to him. "Mr. Daniel, you have been promoted. Frankly speaking, this promotion is a bit hasty. We haven't had time to prepare a more formal ceremony for you, and we ca n’t even ask the real world. You congratulate all of this, and I hope you can understand.

"On the other hand, you should still be a little confused now, and you must be a little confused about the change of status after becoming an archbishop. We should have given you more time to adjust slowly, but the situation is special now. We need you to understand something as soon as possible. , As soon as possible ...

"Specific circumstances, the Pope will explain to you personally."

Daniel maintained a polite and calm expression, but when he heard the word "under the pope's crown," he couldn't help but tighten his nerves instantly.

And almost at the moment when Selina's voice fell, an unshaped star cloud appeared already above the round table—

Daniel didn't know when the cluster of starlight clouds appeared. In fact, he even suspected that the irregular starlight floated in the center of the venue from beginning to end, but his senses completely ignored the existence of the latter. !!

The next second, Daniel bowed his head instantly, respectfully saluting: "Under the Pope's crown!"

"Look up," the starry cloud cluster squirmed, and a voice rang directly in Daniel's mind. "I'll get straight to the point-can you still worship the gods?"

Daniel's answer seems to have been practiced thousands of times: "I have no respect for the gods, and their existence is only frightening."

This is the standard answer for a true follower of the Dark Sect.

Countless people in the world have only fear and misunderstanding of the three major dark denominations. They always think that those dark believers are extreme followers of the gods, and they have fallen to the dark side of humanity because of excessive fanaticism and distorted beliefs. At the beginning of joining the religion, they will also hold such wrong ideas, but as long as they have really come into contact with the distorted fallen divine magic, have truly accepted a higher level of "baptism", and have touched those hidden knowledge, any dark believer will know them What is true "belief".

"Very good ..." Starlight Clouds seemed very satisfied with Daniel's answer. "Then, what I want to tell you next is the truth that most people can hardly imagine ... the gods are not only frightening, but also A yoke imposed on all mortals ... "

Daniel blinked.

He knows this, and he also knows that the lock's name is "Mind Seal". His master has been studying this seal. In the space of origin, there are hundreds of researchers with formal compilations studying this. Stenciled issue.

He even suspected that knowledge of the "seal of the mind" would appear in Cecil's elementary textbooks a few years later.

But here, he still had to show his surprise appropriately: "A shackle ?!"

The pope's voice sounded in his mind: "Yes, a shackle, and what the Everlasting Church has been doing for 700 years is to find a way to break this shackle."

This time, Daniel was really a bit surprised.

And he believes that even his master, the extravagant wanderer, will definitely show an unexpected and curious look when he hears this information.

"The way out of the shackles ..." He couldn't help but repeat, "How can mortals do this?"

"Let the mortal mind operate in a sandbox world where no **** exists, until the mortal mind leaves the sight of the god, until the connection between the gods and the world is broken," the voice continued to echo in Daniel's mind, "this Plan ... is named 'Project Zero.' "

Item zero!

Daniel's breathing couldn't help but pause for half a beat, and then the heart was filled with heartfelt joy.

He finally came into contact with this project and finally was able to understand what it really is!

This project hidden in the heavy fog, which is directly controlled by the Supreme Bishops' Sect, is actually related to the soul stamp?

Immediately after, he thought of the many anomalies that have occurred in the psychic network in the recent past, and connected many clues—

This made the expression on his face dignified and his tone serious: "Is there something wrong with this project?"

"We doubt ..." The answer was Selena Gelfen, the archbishop who has been living for seven hundred years, and now symbiotically with the spiritual network, shook his head while saying, "We Suspected of God's power in some sandbox of Project Zero. "

...

In the quiet room in the afternoon, the dark-haired Mary was lowering her head and immersed in the ocean of high-numerical exercises.

With the last few numbers and symbols falling on the paper, the devoted female mage finally raised her head and glanced at the teacher who was sleeping on the easy chair.

The instructor seemed to be sleeping heavily.

In the past many years, it has been difficult for the instructor to sleep so peacefully-the unbearable neurological headaches and hallucinations afflict the old mage's spirit, while making him more irritable and irritable Also deprived him of the right to sleep, this situation continued for more than a decade.

It was the gift of the "master" that gave the tutor a chance to improve, and indirectly saved every tortured apprentice around the tutor.

The "master" is terrible. Until now, every time Mary entered that "origin space", she could not help but feel a little nervous and afraid, but at the same time, she also had an unavoidable gratitude to the "master".

The instructor suddenly moved her body, causing Mary to wake up from a short walk.

She quickly got up and walked to the easy chair: "Teacher, are you awake?"

Daniel opened his eyes slowly and saw the familiar room and the familiar apprentice.

The old mage sighed, "This time ... but something really happened."
