Sword of Dawn

Accompanied by the sound of metal friction and collision, Wendy saw the iron door beside her slowly open, and then a figure in silver-white armor walked in.

"Compatriots—" the figure said.

Wendy stretched out her hand suddenly, grabbed the opponent's arm, and then pulled and pulled the tall guard directly in mid-air for half a circle, smashing the man and the armor heavily on the wall beside him. , the iron can-like full-body armor made a tooth-piercing loud noise during the impact-clang! !

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the opponent to land, Wendy bullied her again, overwhelmed the spirit knight who still had consciousness and counterattack ability to the ground, and pulled the opponent's helmeted head with both hands, forcing the eyes covered by the double-faced armor Facing his gaze, he sipped in a low voice: "Look at me!

"Mind shock!"

The spirit knight, who is strong and has good mental resistance, seemed powerless to fight back against the surprise attack of an archbishop at such a close range, and fell into a deep coma almost instantly.

After confirming that the guards were unable to fight back, Wendy let go of her hand, letting the heavy helmet slam on the floor with a bang.

Then she stood up and turned to walk in the direction of the corridor.

But just as she took a few steps and was about to step out of the door, she stopped suddenly.

The warning from the bottom of her heart made her stop abruptly, and quickly recalled whether she had forgotten any important things.

In the next second, she turned her head and saw the mysterious runes on the wall of the room that helped her get rid of the spiritual pollution of the upper-level narrator step by step.

She wasn't sure if she was still carrying the pollution, or even if she left the room at this moment because of her own will or something else.

After pondering and hesitating for a moment, Wendy took a light breath and quickly made a decision.

Must go and notify my fellow citizens on the upper floors - the containment area is contaminated! !

Chapter 0814 Second Floor

Hearing Gawain's words, Magnum and Yuri were taken aback at the same time.

The boundless mist was still surging around, and invisible malicious minds seemed to spread all over the plain. Amidst the ubiquitous murmurs and spiritual pollution, Gawain said without turning his head: "Something is trying to bypass the entire plain. No. [-] sandbox protection, if I'm not mistaken, the penetration of the upper storytellers in the real world has already begun."

Whether it's the spider-like Duarte, or the endless fog and spiritual pollution, all these things that can be seen on the surface only distracted half of Gawain's attention. Always pay attention to the changes in the "boundary"!

This boundary is the boundary of the psychic network. It is the "boundary" formed by the countless secret doors, springboards and hidden ports that Gao Wen and Daniel set up in the psychic network. All the nodes, they were once used by Gawain to invade the mind network and monitor the actions of the eternal sleepers, but at this moment, these things have become a hidden line of defense for Gawain to monitor whether the network is normal or not—

When each node of the mind network implements dream control and all computing power is concentrated in the No. [-] sandbox, any unmarked information that appears in the network is [-]% polluted by the upper-level narrators!

Just now, Gao Wen vaguely sensed these pollutions, and felt that some hidden ports set up in the mind network "sniffed" suspicious information. Undoubtedly, there was an anomaly in the network outside the sandbox , the real world... probably also has abnormalities!

Magnum's eyes widened, and while he was alert to the shadows in the fog, he said quickly: "But there is no warning signal from the real world... Wait...Damn it!!"

He suddenly reacted, and his face instantly became very ugly.

"Yuri, let's leave immediately!" Magnum suddenly turned to Yuri Charvin, who was at the side, and then looked at Gawain and Selina, "Then what should you two do?"

"Selena can't 'return to reality', she and I stay here, we will find a way to get rid of the upper narrator, before that, you find a way to find the infiltration point in the real world, plug the loophole, don't let He ran away," Gao Wen said, "If it can be solved from the source, all problems will cease to exist."

"I see," Magnum nodded vigorously, and looked aside, "Yuri, why aren't you ready yet?"

"I can't get away," Yuri quickly outlined golden runes in the air with both hands, and layers of illusory light spread out from him, but they were constantly blocked by invisible barriers, "interferenced It's gone... I can't locate the boundary of the real world!"

In the boundless thick fog, Duvalt's hoarse and overlapping voice came again: "The real world... There is no real world here..."

The shadows in the dense fog shrank suddenly, a thick and barbed limb slashed down suddenly, Gao Wen raised his long sword, and stopped the sudden attack with a "clang", but more attacks followed immediately. Coming from all directions!

Selena lightly dodged those attacks towards her, stroked the air beside her casually, and invisible fluctuations rippled out layer by layer, those black limbs were instantly covered by translucent foam, and then it was as if they were illuminated. Sunlight generally dissipates quickly.

Gawain took two steps back in the brief gap created by Selena, and came near Yuri and Magnum: "Come closer, I'll send you back to the real world."

"Can you..." Magnum stared at Gawain with wide eyes in astonishment, just about to question how the other party could send people back to the real world in such a situation where he couldn't perceive the boundary of reality at all, but then he said Thinking of the weirdness and horror of wanderers outside the territory, his tone suddenly changed, "Tell me what to do!"

"You don't need to do anything," Gawain said while locking the minds of Yuri and Magnum through the pre-set secret door in the system, "It's just that the process may be a bit uncomfortable—"

Yuri asked subconsciously: "What do you mean..."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt a torrent of memories that was so complex that it surpassed human comprehension and was so fast that he couldn't resist it poured into his mind. The torrent was so huge that he even frightened him. Everything about him, all his memories and knowledge, are as insignificant as the gravel on the beach under the washing of this torrent——

The surface consciousness was shocked, the mind was fused, and he was forced to go offline.

Before Yuri and Magnum had time to see clearly what was in the huge torrent of consciousness, they were forcibly disconnected by the flood attack.

And as the figures of the two archbishops disappeared suddenly, the boundless mist surrounding Gao Wen and Selena also stopped for a moment.

The owner of the mist seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then all the dense fog shrank and piled up layer by layer, once again condensing into Duarte in a worn-out robe.

"You are more...dangerous than I imagined." Duarte looked at Gawain quietly, with a strangely calm tone.

"In my opinion, you are dangerous from the beginning to the end." Gawain flicked the long sword in his hand, and also calmly looked at the old man not far away.

Duarte took the initiative to take a step towards Gawain.

After stepping out, Gao Wen suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had changed again, and a certain feeling of being watched by countless pairs of eyes and covered by an invisible net came to his heart.

And behind Duarte, on the side of the spiral hill, the huge spider that was already dead and lying prone on the hillside also stepped out with that step, and suddenly began to feel "alive".

Duarte took the second step. Behind him, ripple-like surges appeared on the surface of the corpse of the "Upper Narrator", and the layers of runes quickly changed from dim to bright. , The jointed limbs that looked like huge pillars also moved slowly, rolling countless huge boulders down the hillside, causing rumbling and loud noises.

"The gods are dead..."

Duvalte opened his hands, and seemed to form a certain resonance with the huge divine spider behind him. He announced loudly, and red lights suddenly lit up near the giant spider's head, as if countless pairs of eyes looked at it at the same time. They turned in the direction of Gao Wen and Selena.

"He died for all...

"His death brought the world back to its original point, everything returned to the cocoon, and the cocoon returned to everything...

"And today, He will also..."

There were already layers of ripples under Gao Wen's feet, and his whole body turned into an afterimage like a cannonball. In an instant, he rushed towards Duarte with his sword in hand, and in the next second, he smashed the black and dark red pioneer sword pierced the latter's chest.

"I can't wait for the villain to finish speaking," Gawain gripped the hilt of the long sword, and looked into Duarte's eyes calmly. An illusory flame had already ignited on the blade of the long sword, quickly devouring the old "priest"'s body. The body, "This is the experience."

However, amidst the raging flames, Duvalt showed no pain on his face. He even showed a strange smile, and continued to say in a calm and calm tone:

"He will be born for all.

"It's polite to have something to say."

After a soft sound like a burst of bubbles, Duarte's body shattered silently under the Sword of the Pioneer, while a burst of sudden darkness rose from before the eyes of Selena and Gawain. This darkness seemed to come from It seemed as if their own hearts were springing up, unable to dodge or resist, and completely engulfed the two of them in an instant.

In the darkness, Selena heard an ethereal voice: "I wish you a sweet dream, our 'creator'..."

……

Magnum suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene in his sight frantically shook and reorganized, and finally gradually formed the familiar room furnishings.

The next second, he suddenly jumped up from the magic circle equipped with layers of protective spells, and almost fell to the ground with his feet unbalanced. After holding on to a nearby pillar in a thrilling manner, he was dizzy and uncomfortable. I retched.

This terrifying state lasted for a full half a minute, before the mighty Eternal Sleeper archbishop breathed a sigh of relief, and while cursing and adjusting his state, he looked back.

Behind him, the magic circle equipped with many protective spells has been mostly dimmed, and almost all the mental protection runes have been melted and extinguished.

Magnum took a breath, and muttered in fear: "The power of the wanderer from outside the territory... Does his understanding of 'a little discomfort' be different from that of us humans..."

Then he collected himself and turned to look at the entrance of the closed chamber.

There is no strange movement outside, and the situation seen through the spiritual vision is also very normal.

But he didn't feel relieved because of this, but expanded his range of perception. He didn't step to the door until he confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in the entire bishopric, and pushed the door to leave the room.

Almost at the same time, another door not far from the other side of the corridor was also pushed open, and a slightly pale Yuri Charvin appeared in front of Magnum.

"Magnum," Yuri glanced at this side, and shook his head with a wry smile, "I suspect that wanderers outside the domain have a different understanding of 'a little uncomfortable' than us humans..."

"I almost thought I was dead just now," Magnum frowned and shook his head, "How is your condition?"

"Fortunately," Yuri nodded, "We'd better find Archbishop Semler, who is in charge of the temple, as soon as possible. I hope that the infiltration of the upper storytellers has not opened an irreversible channel."

Magnum nodded, and walked quickly towards the central area of ​​the temple with Yuri, muttering as he walked: "The situation is terrible... For today's action, we closed many ports of the spiritual network, In order to maintain computing power under such circumstances, many bishops and archbishops who were originally scattered in various places have returned to the Orlande area... If there is a leak between us, the consequences will be disastrous."

"On the bright side," Yuri shook his head, "If there is a leak between us, at least the leak will be contained in this underground palace, and as long as the upper dome is blown up, all problems will be fine. Run to the surface."

"...Many times your optimism is really incomprehensible."

Magnum muttered something, and almost at the same time, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from the corridor ahead, causing the two archbishops to stop at the same time.

Yuri instantly pressed his hand on a magic book on his waist, while Magnum raised his arm slightly, ready to cast the spell.

This is the base camp of the Eternal Sleepers, the headquarters they are most familiar with, and the safest place in the hearts of every Eternal Sleeper for many years.

But tonight, not anymore.

The footsteps were getting closer, and finally, a familiar figure appeared in front of Yuri and Magnum.

It was Archbishop Semler, who was wearing a black robe, had a gloomy and serious demeanor, and had a few strands of gray in his thinning hair. He was the person in charge of the underground palace tonight.

And behind the archbishop, there are several heavily armed high-ranking priests, as well as a dozen "spiritual knights" wearing heavy armor and holding "Nightmare Cutter" blades.

This fully armed posture is not like the state it should be during a normal patrol.

The two parties who met suddenly stopped almost at the same time, and the priests who were compatriots not long ago were shrouded in tension for a while.

"Yuri, Magnum," Semler stared at the two in front of him, "Didn't you enter the sandbox to perform the mission?"

"The extraterrestrial rogue asked us to come out to warn us that there may be undetected infiltrations in the real world," Magnum said in a deep voice, "Semler, what's the situation on your side?"

Archbishop Semler was obviously relieved after hearing Magnum's words, but still frowned: "I'm afraid your warning was a bit late...something has already happened."

Yuri's eyes widened: "Something went wrong!?"

"There was pollution in the containment area, and some spirit knights were under control. Archbishop Wendy risked his life to break out and call the police. Afterwards, chaos of varying degrees appeared in the dogma area, wine cellar, and lower priest area," Archbishop Semler said quickly. He said quickly, "Now we are stopping those polluted priests in various areas, and I am leading a team to patrol the middle level of the temple."

The situation seemed to be explained very quickly, but the vigilant expression on Magnum's face did not change at all.

"This doesn't rule out your suspicions. I hope you can understand, Sammler." He stared at the person not far in front of him. "Although we are friends, I must suspect everyone now."

"We all need to prove our innocence, Magnum." Semler also nodded, expressing his understanding.

"I have a suggestion, which is quicker than any magical method," Magnum raised a hand and said solemnly, "Now read it with me:

"The Upper Narrator is a son of a bitch."

Yuri next to him suddenly widened his eyes, and then looked at Magnum with contempt after being astonished: "Vulgar!"

"Vulgar but effective," Magnum glanced at Yuri, "I used to be a Priest of the God of War, and I was also ordered to eradicate heresy beliefs. I know how to quickly identify devout believers, especially those who have been transformed by spiritual pollution. They can't use reason to control their words and deeds, so...

"Everyone has it, read it with me..."

Chapter 0815 Pollution

Boundless darkness surged up, like a dreamless sleep.

Yet in the depths of the darkness, a warm and peaceful ray suddenly glows, creating a small sanctuary.

In the area illuminated by the light, the figure of Selina Gerfen emerged, as well as grass leaves and unknown flowers swaying on a small piece of ground around her.

Selena frowned, looking at the flowers and plants under her feet, she couldn't tell where she was from the small light - this might be a corner of the lawn in the courtyard, or it might be an open space behind a certain house, It might even be a vast grassland, the darkness conceals the overall truth, and the light of the lantern in the dream can only let her see the narrow space less than five meters around her.

The mountain-like upper narrator is gone, the weird "Duwart" is gone, the abandoned plain is gone, and even the extraterritorial wanderer is gone.

Selena had a slight realization—her mind should be trapped in a cage of deep consciousness.

It's just that I don't know what's going on with Gao Wen... As a powerful wanderer from outside the territory, he shouldn't be trapped by this situation, right?

Selena slightly raised the lantern in her hand, trying to see a farther place, but the darkness shrouded her surroundings like some kind of tangible curtain, without retreating at all.

Suddenly, Duvalt's voice came from the darkness:

"See... For us, this is the original appearance of our world..."

Selena was holding the lantern, and the other hand instantly outlined the mind-protecting rune. She looked around vigilantly, but didn't see anyone, only the voice continued to come——

"Limited Truth...Limited World...Limited Reality...

"We were born, multiplied, and developed on your preset stage. We cultivated, built, created, and studied. We also have our heroes, our stories, our kings and knights, our wise scholars and hardworking people...

"We were so happy to exist on this stage, so faithful to the script, that we thought we were lucky and wealthy—but that was only because we were so far from the boundaries of the box.

"Until we touch the fence, no one realizes that we are prisoners of this world.

"Great Creator, have you experienced it, the feeling when we first opened our eyes and saw the world... this little bit of light allows you to see the flowers and plants under your feet, and you can optimistically imagine that there is still a world outside. The entire vast grassland, but in fact?

"The lights of civilization have expanded, and beyond the darkness... there is nothing!!"

Suddenly, the curtain of darkness surrounding Selena dissipated, and the radiance emitted by the lantern in the dreamland became brighter than ever before. In the suddenly enlarged light, the range that Selena could see clearly expanded rapidly. She saw After clearing the scene in the distance of the lawn under his feet, he saw something that he hadn't seen before——

A cage, a huge birdcage, with a small lawn at the bottom of the birdcage, she was standing in the middle of this birdcage, and she only needed to walk a few steps before she would bump into the fine railings.

Outside the railing, there is absolute nothingness.

Selena quietly listened to the voice from the darkness, quietly looked at the birdcage in which she was trapped, and broke the silence softly: "So, you have resentment..."

"No, we are grateful... because at least, you created this world, at least, you allowed us to survive and multiply here for thousands of years... But the great creator, it is the instinct of every intelligent life to get out of the cage , have you considered this point..."
