When the two archbishops of Yuri and Magnan recovered their sobriety, Gao Wen ceased direct communication with Daniel and reverted to an extraterrestrial wanderer who was quietly watching and harmless.
In some ways, he felt that the unknown "extra person" who followed the eternal sleepers from beginning to end seemed to be the most terrifying element of this weird place ...
On the other side, Daniel learned from Archbishop Yuri's mouth when he recalibrated his mind.
"You said ... you saw the projection of the upper narrator deep in your memory?" Daniel looked extraordinarily serious, staring at Yuri's eyes, "and the part of your memory that symbolizes the" potential self "has begun to praise the upper narrative By?"
Archbishop Yuri nodded gloomily, and Magnum next echoed: "I had a similar situation, **** it. I went back to the church where God of War was a priest several decades ago. Full of people, all of a sudden, everyone began to pray to the upper narrator ... I swear, from the time I gave up the God of War faith to become a nightmare teacher, to this day, the worst nightmare I have woven is at this level! ! "
Gao Wen was listening to the two archbishops telling their experiences, realizing that both of them should belong to the "immortal" priests who were "transformed" halfway, one of them was a noble of Tifeng, and the other was a priest of the Church of War But it is clear that they have completely broken with the past, and through their own strength and long-term allegiance have been promoted to the top of the everlasting.
This is very similar to Daniel's experience. Before becoming a dark clergyman, he was a high-level mage who had left the Tifeng Masters Association, and was "transformed" halfway into an immortal.
"I have to confirm it now," Daniel stared at the archbishops of Yuri and Magnan. "Have you been polluted by the upper narrator?"
Yuri and Magnum glanced at each other, and neither showed any objection.
In the depths of their memories, at the bottom of their subconscious mind, they have personally experienced the strange erosion of the "upper narrator". They have no contempt for the power that is difficult for humans to understand, let alone blindness. Believe in your own judgment of your situation.
After all, if pollution comes from one's own subconscious mind, it is impossible for a person to perceive that he has been polluted.
Daniel is the security director of the psychic network. He has a high degree of accomplishment in the areas of mental alertness and pollution prevention. It is reasonable and reasonable for the archbishop to conduct inspections.
But before that, Archbishop Yuri first asked: "Archbishop Daniel, how are you not affected by the abnormal environment here?"
The expression on Daniel's face did not change because he had already communicated with Gao Wen and conceived the proper response at this time: "As a security supervisor, I have a habit of working.
"I never immersed my mind completely in any level of consciousness. During this exploration, I also kept a part of the thinking thread in the shallower level of consciousness.
"When the town changed, my thinking outside stayed aware of the anomaly and awakened myself."
Daniel is not talking nonsense. What he said is just an effective protection scheme he discussed when he and Gao Wen exchanged the weird situation in this phantom town. The only part he lied to before the two archbishops was In fact, he neither had this unique habit, nor did he conduct any operation of "distributed thinking" in this exploration.
But after going back this time ... maybe I really should develop such a "habit".
After all, the mental network is no longer safe. Before the threat of the upper narrator is completely resolved, the security director who often deals with cyber pollution must protect himself.
The two archbishops, Yuri and Magnum, seemed to have no doubt about Daniel's words. They nodded, and Magnum with a loud voice asked: "How are you going to check whether we have been polluted by the upper narrator?"
As he said, the archbishop with a short name but a big caliber couldn't help but look down at himself, and was quite dissatisfied: "This **** place, I still have to use this picture ..."
"Our virtual camouflage doesn't seem to work here," Archbishop Yuri glanced at Magnum. "You should be open to accepting your true appearance and indulging in your own virtual camouflage. This is not what a archbishop should be."
"I know I know ... you have too much nonsense!"
Daniel didn't care about the conversation between the two colleagues in front of him. He just nodded and answered Magnan's question just now: "It is easy to check whether you are polluted, but it requires your cooperation to let go of your mind and let me check you. Surface memory. Rest assured, I can only check the surface to see if there is any belief about the upper narrator ... "
He hopes to take this opportunity to reasonably check the surface memory of the two archbishops in order to collect some information. If only the surface memory is checked, it will not be too sensitive and offensive, but it still needs a reasonable enough reason, and now this seems to be A very good opportunity.
Taking the "exclusion of pollution from upper narrators" as the reason, presumably the two archbishops will not refuse.
Gao Wen also showed a faint smile, apparently quite satisfied with Daniel's performance.
However, things did not go as expected as Kovan and Daniel
Before Daniel's voice fell, and two archbishops Yuri and Magnum responded, a voice suddenly came from the nearby streets and lanes, and that was Selena Gelfen's voice:
"No need to confirm, if Archbishop Daniel is contaminated by the upper narrators, they will now become residents of this town."
The expression on Daniel's face almost changed, but in the end he remained indifferent and turned to the direction of the sound. Yuri and Magnum turned their heads curiously, and saw a lantern first appeared in the alleyway not far away. .
Didn't Selina Gellfen be affected by the weird environment here? !!
With the sudden emergence of doubts in his heart, Gao Wen turned his eyes with a little surprise, and saw the figure holding the lantern out of the alley.
He saw Patty.
The daughter of Lady Graham, a child running in the city of dreams, called Gao Wen as "Uncle Celsi" in the dream world.
As Gao Wen remembers, she wore a pure white dress, long brown hair covering her back, her eyes were big, and she had sound limbs in the dream world, but she was completely different from Gao Wen's memory. His expression: The expression is quiet, calm, with a steadyness that does not meet his age, and there is a trace of vicissitudes of maturity deep in his eyes.
She was holding the lantern of Selena Gelfen in her hand, followed by four high-ranking clergymen wearing owl masks, and was walking towards this side in a hurry.
Gao Wen blinked, calmed down in the shock of the explosion, and realized one thing:
What he saw was not Patty, but Selena Gelfen, who was wearing Patty's face.
In this "town after the bell rang", everyone was removed from the virtual camouflage in the spiritual network and turned into a real appearance of the real world. Then Selena Gelfen has lost its reality. Why does the ancient soul that lives on the Internet in ideology appear like Patty Glenn?
Is Patty Glenn disguised as Selena Gell? Or maybe ...
In a brief moment, Gao Wen thought of numerous clues. A large amount of fragmented information appeared as an explosion, and was finally connected by a line. He thought of Patty Glenn's crown, and Selena. Gelfen took Patty Glenn to stroll and play on the tree-lined roads of the city of dreams, and even thought of the lantern that appeared inexplicably in the Kant area, and thought of the emergence around Cecil before the war of southern integration. Traces of the activity of the everlasting ...
In the end, he thought of what he was investigating recently, a passage he saw last time in Selena Gelfen's profile:
Selena Gelfen, Archbishop (Death), Female, Soul Body.
Current position: Anzu / Fixed / Cecil Empire-Southbound.
That turned out to be the case.
Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, many thoughts slowly settled in his heart. He didn't rush to make any conclusions about the state of Selena Gell or Patty, but he already had a few more reliable guesses, and When his thoughts were mixed, Selena ... Selena, who had the shape of Patty, also came to Daniel and others.
Gao Wen's concealing effect is still in effect. No one except the Daniel at the scene knows that there is a bystander standing beside them.
The three Daniels saw Selena holding the lantern, and they did not hide their surprise. Obviously, not only Daniel saw it for the first time, but even the two archbishops Yuri and Magnum also saw this "dream hallowed" for the first time. The "girl" looks like this, Magnum couldn't help but say: "Archbishop Selena, you are ..."
"Don't you also restore your true posture?" Selena responded calmly without waiting for the other person to finish speaking.
Her attitude was bland and steady, and her voice was also the voice of an adult, but all this was placed on a little girl who was only 13 or 14 years old, and it seemed strange.
In fact, Patti should be nearly fifteen years old this year. However, due to injuries, she has always been much thinner than her peers. This has also affected her image in the spiritual network and indirectly played in the game. Lena Girfen's "real gesture" is reflected.
"True gesture ..." Daniel whispered subconsciously, struggling to keep his expression from looking too strange.
"... My situation is complicated, so don't delve into it," Selena shook her head, then raised her head, and fell on Yuri and Archbishop Magnum. "You are lucky, but you have only met the upper narrator. Erosion, but not polluted. "
"You didn't seem to be affected?" Yuri looked at Selena and the owl priests behind Selena in confusion. "How did you do that?"
Selina glanced at Yuri, lowered her head to look at her young body at the moment, and suddenly there was a hint of self-deprecation in her eyes: "The pollution of the upper narrator will erode deep consciousness ... As a combined soul, one runs in the network I have no deep consciousness of my mind.
"It is also with this particularity that I not only resisted the erosion of this town against myself, but also had the opportunity to shelter other eroded compatriots."
As she spoke, Selina looked back at the four masked high-ranking priests behind her, sighed and shook her head.
"Unfortunately, I'm one step behind. The deep consciousness of two people has been contaminated, and they have become believers in the upper narrators. They have become a part of this town. With my ability, I can no longer find them."
The weirdness and danger of Phantom Town made Daniel and others startled.
Gao Wen carefully observed her and several "owl priests" behind her, especially the latter, in the process of Selina's speaking, he did not find that these people were "above narrators" "The sense of disobedience caused by the replacement, while at the same time relaxing slightly, did not dare to completely relax.
This made him sigh that the "weirdness" brewed in the No. 1 sandbox was really weird and dangerous, especially because it directly threatened people's minds, and it seemed even more indefensible, making people never dare to relax their vigilance, even if he himself seemed Affected, in the face of upper-level narrators and their related influences, they dare not relax at all!
"Archbishop Selena, we are now trapped in this 'town after the bell rings', and we can no longer contact the rear monitoring team," said Yuri, after confirming that Archbishop Selina in front of him was indeed himself In the slightest relief, he reported the current bad situation. "And we can't perceive the boundary of reality, we can't directly get out of the network, and the situation is not optimistic."
"I don't need to perceive the boundaries of reality, but I can feel that there is a distorted barrier between this town and the normal network, it should be that it is preventing us from leaving," said Selena in a deep voice, although the calm voice It seemed a bit of a sense of disobedience to the adult on a little girl, but no one at the scene paid attention to it. "I guess the key to this twisted barrier is in the middle of the town, where the church stands ..."
"That makes sense," Daniel looked stunned. "In the first exploration, the church appeared after the bell rang, and here is the town after the bell rang! We didn't find it outside. That church, but it may be here! "
"Let's get started," Selena exhaled softly. "Not far from the church, we have already wasted a lot of time."
As the words fell, she had already turned around and held the lantern in her hand, heading towards the town square.
The sleepers, who had already been downsized, stepped up to keep up, and Gao Wen followed silently and glanced at Selina quietly.
...... The little short legs turned up quite fast, he couldn't help thinking.
