The eternal dream that was once closed was once again launched. This huge network of minds gradually stabilized after a wave of volatility. The magnificent temples, temples, towers and floating islands rooted in the illusion of the soul were reconstructed. At the same time, Counting sleepers also link their thoughts into the network – they are both users of the network and the builders and maintainers of the network, who open their brains to the entire network, letting this The network is dominating and demanding as needed, and they differ from the "computational power providers" who are called "brain servants" who seem to be living in hidden secret temples. They don't need them. In the process of paying for the damage of life and soul.

After all, the perpetual sleeper is the master of an eternal dream. Before the servants die, these masters are not willing to sacrifice themselves.

In the deepest part of the eternal dream, in the "dream hall" of the city's underground, the bishops and their popes are ready.

Twenty-two seats are arranged in the center of the room in a circular symmetry. Eleven white robe bishops and eleven black robe bishops occupy half of the seats as if they are separated by day and night, while the center of the circular seat floats. The black shadow of the group, the phantom from time to time condenses the human form, but more often it is presented as a variety of indescribable clumps with lavender starlight - whether in the real world or in this In the virtual world, the Pope of Everlasting never shows people in true face. In fact, believers even believe that their pope has already completed the sublimation of life form and become the same existence as the power of dreams. This illusory light and shadow is only the pope in the world. The projection is for an "interface" set up to communicate with believers who are still mortal.

Today, the pope is leading his bishops to the 18th trial of Gavin Cecil's memory fragments.

“The eternal dream has stabilized and the mind network is well connected.”

“The subordinate compute nodes are ready, and the ‘brain servant’ array is ready.”

“The Guardianship Team has arrived at the location and is ready to respond to unexpected situations in the real world.”

"We are ready, His Majesty the Pope."

The bishops report on the procedures they are responsible for. When everyone is ready, the unspeakable shadow of the group floats slightly, seemingly to recognize, and the voice of ta echoes in the mind of every bishop. Middle: "Let's get started - look at what is in the memory of the ancient hero."

The information link to the memory fragment was turned on, and the horrible memory that has caused hundreds of casualties has finally begun to loosen, driven by the enormous computing power provided by the eternal dreams - although the real situation is that Gao Wen deliberately There is a weak point in the memory fragment, but it is clear that the perpetrators themselves are not aware of this.

They are only delighted to see that the long-term efforts have finally come to fruition. A ray of light appears in the depths of the huge information fog. Over time, the memory fragments are dismantled a little and can be understood and recognized by humans. Some of them entered the minds of every member of the bishops.

At first they saw a starlight.

The deep and lonely universe, the empty space, the countless stars dotted on the dark and deep curtains, this scene confused the bishops for a moment, but they soon thought that this was the death of Gavin Cecil. Perspective: Is it really going to return to heaven after human death?

Unable to wait for the bishops to replenish the meaning of the scene, the scene in front of them began to change wildly.

They saw the stars retreating, and the distorted light and shadow appeared in the field of vision. They saw the master of the perspective shuttle through the stars and swiftly passed one planet after another at an unimaginable speed...

The masters who saw the perspective appeared on a burning battlefield, the huge demons raged on the battlefield, the flaming meteorites descended from the sky, and the soldiers who wore all kinds of strange equipment and even unheard of races rushed on the battlefield...

They saw the master of the perspective leading a large army to impact a fortress that the architectural style could not understand. The fortress seemed to be piled up with the flesh and blood of some kind of creature, and a huge group of chills swarmed out of the fortress. Fighting with the army led by the owner of the perspective...

They saw the owner of the perspective suddenly came to a world of ice and snow, a steel building with smoke and smoke exploded in the snow...

They see the masters of this perspective in a different world, sometimes leading the army to sweep the battlefield, sometimes destroying the whole country alone, sometimes turning the tide to guard what, but sometimes the whole planet Under the flame of extinction, he fights, protects, destroys, creates, and when doing all these things, he carries a kind of calmness that is almost bystander, as if all this is just to accomplish what Mission, or simply entertainment itself.

This "feel" is integrated into the depths of memory, from the master of the perspective directly to the brain of every innocent bishop.

And every time this perspective switches the world, it is accompanied by the same scene: an innocent starry sky, followed by an illusion of crossing the stars...

The bishops of the eternal sleepers trembled, letting the memories of the scene wash their minds, they have not dared to think about it again, but the memory is still playing - until the end, they see the starry sky appear again, and As the starlight shifts, a planet shimmering in the universe appears on the background, and the master of the perspective flutters toward the planet—its earth is zooming in and out in the field of view, some details above the earth are Familiar, familiar enough to make people afraid to associate.

This time, the owner of the perspective seems to have turned in the direction of the land. The bishops of the eternal sleepers have re-visited the starry sky, in the familiar sky that can be seen by looking up from the Loren continent. They saw one light spot after another moving through the stars, and some huge, metal-cast structure was hung in the sky, an incredible invisible effect is gradually covering the structure, let it Disappeared in the eyes of the world.

Memory debris is here.

The illusion faded like a tide, everyone's eyes were refocused, and the bishop's consciousness returned to the hall. They looked at each other with horror and found that all their colleagues had been soaked in sweat.

No one took the initiative to speak, because everyone could not think of what to say at the moment, until half an hour later, the illusory light and shadow of the center of the hall broke the silence: "Let the nightmare mentor group waiting outside to temporarily take over the eternal dream, the bishops convened An emergency meeting. Today's events are not allowed to be circulated."

The eternal dream quickly completed the shielding and cutting of information. After the entire hall became a safe closed space, a white robe bishop couldn't help but say: "The authenticity of the memory fragments..."

"The truth is unquestionable, I have personally checked it," the voice of the Pope’s voice sounded. "It is indeed a true memory, not an illusion of weaving. Everything in the debris is a real experience."

"Gaowen Cecil's resurrection is really fake..." The voice of another white robe bishop was a little trembling. "It is not an ancient hero who wakes up! In that body, it contains an alien, non- Human, difficult to describe... exist!"

"What is his purpose? What will he do?"

"We can't sum up the rules... those messy and broken memories, those scenes... almost no logic to look for! The 'non-human thing' seems to be moving around the world, constantly changing the body that you use, ta sometimes Like saving the world, sometimes it seems to be destroying it. Sometimes, ta is just hanging around in the world. That behavior has no purpose at all - we can't understand how a kind of existence like this thinks! ”

“Do the worlds really exist? Those...the worlds that are so different from ours, do they really exist, or exist?”

"This has nothing to do with us. The biggest problem now is still to understand the 'inhuman thing' that occupies the body of Gao Wen Cecil, and understand what ta is going to do in our world." This time ', ta wants to destroy, is it to protect, or just passing by? Or... ta will make a more terrible or weird move that has never been seen in those memories?"

"Ta can't be passing by!" A black robe who was more concerned about the situation in Ansu suddenly said, "Ta chose to use the body of a founding Duke as a carrier of this time, and also established a territory near the dark mountains. , like a mortal person to start development, this must have its purpose. And ta also killed a permanent sleeper bishop..."

"The bishop was rashly causing the disaster," someone next to interrupted the black robe bishop. "Of course, without his rash action, we will not get the information now."

"All in all," the Pope suddenly spoke, and the scene immediately quieted down. Everyone listened quietly to the Pope's voice echoing in their minds. "Maybe we should use 'He' to call that inhuman... ..."

"Your Majesty, what action should we take?" a white robe bishop cautiously asked, "No matter what the inhuman thing is going to do, He is a huge unrest factor, should we consider..."

"You can't shoot!" The Pope drank this idea with an unprecedented harsh tone. "The situation is very likely to lose control!"

"But the body that He uses now is only a mortal. Maybe we destroy his 'carrier' and can exile Him to where He came... maybe even destroy Him completely!"

A black robe standing opposite the bishop shook his head: "It's too risky. In those memories, we see that he has traveled through countless dangerous worlds, and the battlefields and desperations are more sinister than any sinister situation we have experienced. Terrible, in some pictures, we can even see the scene of His fall - but He never dies, but can return to the battlefield again and again, which means that destroying its carrier can not effectively damage it, even if it will For exile, He can also come back. As for the seal... Who dares to ensure that the known seal means will be effective for such an inhuman object? In case of failure, the consequences are unimaginable. And everyone must always remember one thing: He The shell used is nothing more than a 'carrier'. He may be able to change it at any time, so any action on that carrier...is meaningless, but it only makes us lose the only clue."

“There is more important,” added the man next to the black robe. “Don’t forget the scene we saw at the end of those memories. There are more than one shuttle in the sky, and still There is a hidden steel palace still hanging between the stars, which means that the inhuman thing is not alone. He has the same kind, and a lair. Once we act rashly, it attracts more..."

The bishop did not continue to speak, but his meaning was quite clear. Everyone in the hall realized this hidden danger, so he could smell it at the scene.

The bishops suddenly felt that the situation was really strange, and even surprised that it made people laugh and cry.

A group of hereticals who oppose civilized society... are actually entangled in this kind of thing, entangled in how to face a "non-human thing" - if this inhuman thing is really to destroy the world, they may not be entangled, The key to the problem is that they can't figure out what the inhuman thing is doing!

This has caused the cultists to fall into a state of great disappointment.

The Pope sighed - this is probably the first sigh since Ta transformed his life form.

I thought that the cracking work has made great progress. I can take this opportunity to understand the secrets of Gao Wen Cecil and understand some truths about the world. But who can think of it, the memory fragment reveals a complete surprise. The clues that everyone expected...

Or... is this part of the truth of the world?

The pope’s illusion is agitated, ta shakes the spirit and sends his words into everyone’s mind:

“Remember the lessons of the last ‘contacter’, don’t act rashly, don’t rashly test, watch carefully until we have more intelligence and then be in touch with it.”
