Gao Wen stood next to him, listening to Daniel and Selena's conversation. Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of his experience at Kantling a few years ago.
Gradually invading the dream of reality, gradually absurdly distorted reality, a nightmare creature that almost entered the real world ...
In a world full of extraordinary powers, dreams are often not pure dreams. The line between reality and illusory ... is always vague.
What Selena and her church compatriots are most worried about now is obviously that something in the sandbox is out of control and becomes reality, and that thing ... I'm afraid it can't be solved by sending an army.
This group of dead house devoted to cutting-edge technology finally pitted themselves and everyone in a field that they are good at.
"What's brewing in the sandbox ..." Daniel's tone also became serious, and he repeated these words softly, but he couldn't help glancing across this weird and quiet church. The old man in gray robe, standing quietly, "I hope it is not ..."
The old mage didn't speak out of his concerns, but judging from the deep and silent eyes of Selena and Archbishop Yuri, they obviously had something to associate with this church and the "upper storyteller faith" represented by the church, only In this weird place, out of mystical common sense, no one speaks out what shouldn't be said.
"We need to report what happened here to the pope," Archbishop Yuri said after a moment of silence. "In addition, this town needs to be retained and more staff will be called for a more detailed investigation in the future."
Selina nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "In addition, with regard to this sect of the 'upper narrator' faith, their customs and legends also need to be analyzed in depth. Logically, no custom or legend is a vacuum. As a result, they are likely to hint at changes that occurred during the out of control of Sandbox One. "
She gently shook the lantern to lift the psychological hint to the elderly man in gray robe, and then looked back from the preaching table and looked at the door at the entrance of the church: "Leave here for now."
Daniel and Archbishop Yuri nodded in response, and the four high-ranking clergymen wearing owl masks bowed their heads and walked towards the exit of the church. The direction that the uninvited guest left, it took a long time to show a smile, reached out and made a gesture of covering the palm with something, and said gently: "All the way, the upper narrator will bless you all ..."
Gao Wen stood by the preaching table, glanced casually at the gray robe old man, stepped up to follow the steps of Serena and others, and returned to the street outside.
In the town, the night continues, and the chaotic and gloomy sky envelopes the ground. In the scattered houses, the warm and soft lights are still bright, and a ray of death and strangeness comes from those curtains or wooden boards. Leaked in the cracks, the strange shadows were drawn on the street.
This made Gao Wen can't help but have a weird association: the whole town is like a dreamy dream, full of contradictions and weirdness, but the people in it can only realize this in the occasional sobriety, being Startled with a cold sweat.
So ... the "testers" who were sent into the sandbox and experienced thousands of years and dozens of reincarnation in the sandbox, did they "wake up" for a moment by accident and then realized the dream What is the truth of the world? After perceiving the truth, how do they view the "upper narrator" who created this sandbox world?
Is the old man in the church the one in the sandbox number one who is a lost tester? Or ... is the "resident" born of the sandbox to keep it running?
"When the bell rings, those who stay on the street will encounter the sacred 'deletion' ..." Selena said as if to herself, "but it looks like we are not affected. It is just not certain that the real Is it true that 'deletion' will happen to those 'residents' who live in the sandbox? "
"I'm more curious what the so-called 'delete' corresponds to," Daniel nodded. "When I go back, I will read the records of the early operation of Sandbox One, and I may find clues."
Archbishop Yuri came to the center of the square. He is still in charge of the entire team's navigation and teleportation. Layers of pale golden runes emerged around him. The swanish archbishop, while maintaining the rune, said aloud: "Monitoring team, ready to unblock, and 'dream jump' after two minutes."
There was a voice in the rune: "Received by the monitoring team. Unblock after one minute, and enable the dream jumping permission after two minutes."
Daniel and Selina walked into the rune, and four other high-ranking clergymen wearing owl masks soon arrived. Gao Wen came to them with a big wave, ready to return to the dream city with this team.
As before, although the priests did not feel the presence of Gao Wen, they still adjusted their positions subconsciously, leaving a seemingly normal space for one person to stand.
One person gave way slowly.
Gao Wen couldn't help but glance at the high-level priest wearing an owl mask. In the last few seconds of the surrounding pale gold runes, he suddenly felt a slight violation.
four people?
"One more person !!!" Gao Wen's eyes sharpened instantly, reminding loudly.
Daniel responded very quickly, and with little hesitation, he raised his hand subconsciously, interrupting Archbishop Yuri's dream jumping spell stiffly and warning loudly: "One more person!"
The pale golden rune was instantly broken, and the dream formation that was about to take shape was suddenly interrupted. Archbishop Yuri first stumbled for a moment, and then heard Daniel's warning as a senior archbishop. He immediately responded and released the follow-up spells to stabilize the surrounding surroundings. Dreamland blocked, while quickly speaking to the monitoring team at the rear: "There is a risk of type ii leakage to block the port in this area!"
The lantern that emits psychedelic light is floating in the air, and the light is rippling in all directions like a substantial water wave, as if an invisible breeze blows through the mind. Everyone feels their spirits are clear and clear, and the sentence has been gone for 700 years. The words passed into Gao Wen's ears: "... guard your mind, I will wipe out the shadows!"
This made Gao Wen couldn't help looking at the direction of the sound. Selena Gell broke up and held the lantern, standing among all the people, her face was mild and quiet, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and her eyes were as deep as water.
The attention of the three archbishops soon fell on the four high-ranking clergymen wearing owl masks.
Until this moment, it seemed that the people at the scene suddenly remembered that there were only six people in the whole team at the time of departure, including three archbishops and three high-level priests. It was only at this moment that they suddenly realized that there were more people wearing masks. One!
The four priests stood together, masking their true expressions, but judging by their tight limbs and slightly accelerated breathing, they were highly nervous and fully alert.
Under the gaze of the archbishop, they began to look at each other, seemingly trying to find out who was the "extra person".
Selina maintained the "clean spirit" effect of the lantern, her voice solemn and low: "Recall, when was it abnormal?"
"After checking the cabin," Daniel thought for a moment, "I can't remember how many people came out at the time, but I remember making four reports at the time!"
Yuri's tone was even more alert: "After entering the church, I clearly saw four figures but at the time did not realize the abnormality."
His words made everyone on the scene aware of the seriousness of the problem
Including Daniel, there are three full Archbishops!
Each archbishop is a strong person in the field of mind and soul, an expert who can detect small anomalies in dreams, but in this "phantom town" formed by data overflowed from the sandbox No. 1, the three of them turned up from the beginning. I didn't find one more person in the team at the end!
This is a psychological interference that can affect high-level and even legendary powerhouses!
Although they were awakened from this "confusing" state immediately after being reminded, it was still frightening.
"Starting investigations now," Selena glanced across the four high-ranking clergymen, and the light of the lantern in her hand gradually mixed from milky white into a trace of dusky turbidity. "Open your mind and be checked."
The light began to sweep across the four high-ranking clergy, and Gao Wen's gaze fell on them.
The figure of one of the priests suddenly trembled, like a phantom projection with poor signal.
The bishop's rune immediately gathered in the hands of Archbishop Yuri, and the clergyman whose figure trembled instantly turned into a hazy phantom and quickly became transparent in the air.
The beam of light condensed from the pale golden runes swept over those phantoms, and vaguely, Gao Wen heard a vague voice howling and howling, and the next moment, the howling howling and the hazy The phantoms dissipated together.
Daniel looked at Yuri: "Is it wiped out?"
There was a weird look on Yuri's face: "It should be destroyed ... but 'feeling' is strange, unlike any kind of mind I have destroyed ... somewhat like 'semi-finished products'."
Just when Daniel wanted to ask, everyone heard a voice at the same time
From the chapel behind the crowd, a sigh like helplessness and mockery came out: "Oh ..."
With this sigh, the small church with a gray-white exterior wall quickly became transparent and unreal under the eyes of everyone, and gradually dissipated into the air.
The lights of those houses in the town also went out one by one with the disappearance of the chapel, and the street lights on both sides of the road dimmed one by one.
The whole town returned to what it was when Gavin and Daniel and others just entered.
But in everyone's eyes, it is several times more weird and dangerous than before.
The lantern in Selina's hand is still emitting a faint yellowish light, even if the suspected "additional person" has been eliminated by Archbishop Yuri, she also used the lantern to light everyone on the scene, until everyone After being checked and confirming that there are no more problems, she just showed a sigh of relief, and nodded, "Hurry up and leave, this place is weird and should not stay long."
Archbishop Yuri began to continue the ceremony of dream jumping, and informed the monitoring team at the rear to cancel the alarm.
Gao Wen also stood among these eternal sleepers. This time, he carefully confirmed the number of people around him and confirmed that there were no additional people.
The pale golden runes gradually formed and closed.
Before the dream jump started, Archbishop Yuri couldn't help but look around, and finally fell on Daniel: "No more people?"
Gao Wen looked around, looked down at himself again, and nodded to Daniel: "The number is normal, not many."
Daniel also nodded to Archbishop Yuri: "The numbers are normal, not many."
"... I need to take a good rest when I go back," Archbishop Yuri smiled reluctantly, and started the dream jump, "I always feel that there is an invisible person standing beside me."
...
In the twinkling of light and shadow, the team returned to the square of the dream city.
"Archbishop Daniel, it seems to be a fairly correct decision for you to become a member of the Supreme Bishops' Conference." After the teleportation, Selina Gell looked at Daniel for the first time. "Your alert and vigilance let us avoid The consequences are unpredictable. "
"It is standard practice for security personnel to check all parameters and items after each mission," Daniel smiled stubbornly. "The 'extra person' is actually not very secretive. As long as we check it, we will find that it is nothing more than It weakens our thought of 'checking', and I happen to have an unchangeable habit in this regard. "
"In short, this reminds us, and also allows us to accumulate some experience in dealing with Sandbox No. 1, which will be useful in the next exploration," Archbishop Yuri exhaled. "Come here today. "
Each figure disappeared on the square for the second time.
Govin and Daniel remained last.
"Keep in touch, I will pay attention to this matter at any time," Gao Wen nodded slightly and was ready to leave. "If there is any exploration, please report.
"Yes, my lord."
