The scene in front of you gradually stabilized, and the magnificent palaces and spires of the Dream City appeared again in front of Gao Wen.

Looking at the "incarnation" of the eternal sleeper coming and going in front of him and this quiet city, Gao Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the disguise he set in the network is operating well, and those backdoors installed to sneak into the network are not discovered by the sleeper.

But thinking about it, before computer viruses appeared, who knew what antivirus software was?

This is not the third time he has sneaked into this world once or twice. His direction of action in this spiritual network is already very clear.

Steal technology, install back doors, monitor the actions of the Eternal Sleepers. If you have the opportunity, use this spiritual network to exert some influence on the Eternal Sleepers so that this special cult group can continue to develop in the direction he expects.

Gao Wen bypassed the crowd and arrived at the area where the node crystal is located. After connecting to the main channel, he first confirmed that the "experimental field" he left behind was as usual, and then quietly exited the secret connection and began to search for possible technical information with the assistance of the node crystal.

Although he failed to find effective information in the previous few attempts, Gao Wen did not find nothing in his connections again and again. Through analysis, learning the knowledge of those who have devoured eternal sleepers and the experience of stealing resources in the spiritual network, he has vaguely figured out the principles and structure of this network. He found that he could do more with the vulnerabilities in this network than he thought at the beginning.

This network is directly connected to the spiritual world of every sleeper. In other words, it can theoretically directly connect to the thinking and memory space of every sleeper. Of course, the sleeper itself also knows the risks, so when they connect to the network, they will protect and isolate their consciousness world to prevent someone from invading their thinking through connections. However, in Gao Wen's opinion, their protection is obviously not enough.

Perhaps it was because the Eternal Sleepers did not expect that someone would infringe upon the church compatriots in the "own" network, or perhaps it was because Gao Wen's own soul change was too serious. He had a strong control over his subconscious world, so that in his opinion, all the deceptive and hidden blocking measures in this spiritual network seemed to not exist...

The node crystal that emits a glimmer of light floated quietly in front of Gao Wen. He stared at the surface of the crystal, and his spiritual power gradually spread out. He could feel the truth hidden under the deceptive appearance of this crystal. A large amount of data is exchanged, allocated, and reconstructed here. The thoughts of countless sleepers are fluctuating and turbulent at the bottom of the sea of ​​data. Some of them are powerful and some are weak. Those powerful thoughts are closely connected with the structure of the entire network. As long as they are slightly touched, there is a risk of triggering alarms on the entire network, but those weak thoughts...

They are like seaweed and zooplankton floating among the waves, lacking protection and lacking vigilance.

That is the lower class of the Eternal Sleepers, the most basic group of cultists. Their greatest value in this network is to contribute computing power and to take data pressure as a "buffer" when the network fluctuates violently: for this immature network, fluctuations are very common, and Eternal Sleepers choose the simplest and rough way to ensure the overall stability of the network.

Gao Wen carefully let his spirit continue to permeate. Through the jump of the node crystal, he gradually understood the context of those thoughts and roughly judged what strength the master behind him had. He also began to try to read the shallow memories of those thoughts. This is one of the most basic abilities of the Eternal Sleeper. Although Gao Wen obtained this part of knowledge through devouring, it was the first time he really applied it.

He must be very careful once his infiltrating the Internet is exposed. God knows how extreme the cultists who have long been nervous about "outdoors" will react. Maybe they will pull out the entire server line as soon as they are nervous...

A vague illusion appeared in Gao Wen's mind. He saw countless light spots flashing and flowing in the hazy outline of this dream city. Most of the light spots are on the outer layer of the city, a small part is on the inner layer, and several particularly bright light spots gather in the large palace area in the center of the city.

He carefully bypassed the light spots that were too strong or too close to the central area and began to contact those targets that seemed to be very suitable for the attack.

He saw some flashes of shallow memories, some strange crowds holding gatherings, some dark and desolate castle daily life. In these flashes of shallow memories, he suddenly saw an extra special scene.

An elderly mage who lives alone, a paranoid man who goes astray, a person who is lured and fallen into depravity by the sleeper, and is willing to become a slave in the dream...

He slowly leaned over...

In the Tifeng Empire, among the mountains on the southwestern border, the ancient wizard tower stood quietly on the top of a rocky mountain. At dusk, the dim sky light enveloped the black roof of the ancient spire and spread along the mottled exterior wall of the spire, outlining a hazy golden edge on the tower. However, this light could not dispel the gloomy aura that could not be lingered from the wizard tower at all. Instead, it could only make the tower seem as strange and inexplicable as torn apart from the sky.

The mountain people living in the village at the foot of the mountain are always afraid of the mage tower on the top of the mountain. They know that there is a terrible magician living in the black tower. Whenever night comes, the figure of the terrible mage will be reflected from the highest window at the top of the black tower. The ignorant mountain people always regard the strange wind, lightning, and clouds in the mountains as signs of the mage's anger, and use this to warn the children in the village not to approach the top of the mountain, in case they are bewitched by the magician, and turn into stone statues in the mage tower or those who are kept by the mage and can talk to the mountain people. This is probably the case.

In fact, their fear was not completely unreasonable, because there was indeed a terrible and unnatural old mage living in the Black Tower. It is said that the old mage was from the imperial capital Aldernan and was exiled by the emperor for studying taboo knowledge. He lived alone, had a strange temper, and never communicated with the people in the village. He had a few equally gloomy apprentices, and he would only send his apprentices down the mountain to purchase food or make other transactions. On those apprentices in black robes, the villagers often smelled bloody smells, so the disturbing terrible rumors about the Black Tower spread more and more.

The thin and black-haired Mary left the village in the fearful sight of the mountain people. The uneasy and speculative absurd discussions seemed to be still circling in her ears. She wrapped her black mage robe tightly and covered the cold night wind in the mountains with her hood, and walked alone on the mountain road.

There is only one way from the village at the foot of the mountain to the Mage Tower, but there are countless urges to escape from this road. Mary looked up at the gate of the Mage Tower that had appeared in her sight, and couldn't help but look back at the road when she came.

She touched the metal buckle between her neck, and with difficulty she took her gaze back, and slowly walked towards the mage tower step by step.

The gate of the Mage Tower automatically opened, and the dark door hole made her subconsciously take a half step back. However, the next second, a thin arm stretched out from the darkness and pulled her into the door.

A hoarse and old voice came from the side: "Don't be too slow, the master will be unhappy."

Mary nodded and quickly handed the basket in her hand to the servant who was as gloomy and aging as the entire mage tower, then walked towards the second floor of the mage tower with heavy steps.

The old wizard wrapped in a black robe sat in the magic laboratory. The walls and ground beside him were painted with strange and inexplicable blood-colored runes. The light and dark light flashed between the runes. The old wizard himself slowly raised his head when Mary entered the laboratory.

His white-haired head was as dry as the wind was dry, and his wrinkled skin was full of traces left by the passage of time. He seemed to die at any time, but Mary knew that this old wizard was too early to die. She even suspected that this old and terrible person would live forever, even longer than her.

"You're back... go to work." The old mage looked at Mary with a muddy look. His voice was low and slow, as if he was mumbling, with a strange sense of sluggishness. Mary knew that this was because the tutor was in a special state of "connection". She didn't know what this "connection" meant, because the tutor never allowed her to contact this knowledge. She only knew that this was a "spell" that was completely different from traditional magic. When her tutor Daniel fell into the craziest stage of her life, he suddenly got this "spell", and then began to study it frantically, intoxicated by it, and even angered the magicians of the imperial capital for it, and had to come to this desolate and backward frontier...

Whenever he is in a "connected" state, the old mage's reaction will be so slow, but slowness is just an illusion. His thinking is still quick and his reaction can still be quite fast. If he does not want to be punished, the smartest choice is to obey his orders immediately.

Mary expressed her obedience and walked quickly to the corner of the laboratory. A sample that was desolated was placed on the laboratory bench and used spells to maintain the best research state. Mary recognized that it was a monkey, a monkey that was very common in the mountains.

She began to process the samples as her instructor had told her before. Although she was still twitching slightly, she still mechanically began to peel off her flesh and blood, connect her nerves, and immerse her magic oil...

And halfway through these mechanical movements, she suddenly heard a strange sound from the direction of the instructor.

She looked up in shock and saw that her mentor had widened her eyes. Huge fear was quickly climbing over his old and shriveled face. This old man who had never brought fear to others seemed to have seen something that could scare him to death. He opened his mouth wide and made a strange breath sound. After stiffening for two seconds, the old mage suddenly stretched out his arm, as if he wanted to block something in front of him, but he said something inexplicable:

"Stand and don't move, I've caught you."
