Gao Wen stood by and listened to the conversation between Daniel and Selena, but suddenly he couldn't help but think of his experience at Kant several years ago

The dream gradually invades reality, the reality gradually becomes absurd and distorted, a nightmare creature that almost enters the real world...

In this world full of extraordinary power, dreams are often not simple dreams, and the boundary between reality and illusion... is always blurred.

What Selena and her fellow church members are most worried about now is obviously that the things in the sandbox are out of control and into reality, and that thing... is probably not something that can be solved by sending an army.

These dead-lovers who are obsessed with cutting-edge technology finally cheated themselves and everyone in the field they are good at.

"Things brewed from the sandbox..." Daniel's tone also became serious. He repeated these words softly, but his eyes couldn't help but sweep across this strange and quiet church, and sweep over the old man in gray robe who was standing quietly with confusion in his eyes, "I hope it is not..."

The old master did not express his concerns, but judging from the deep and solemn eyes of Archbishop Selena and Yuri, it was obvious that they had already associated some things from this church and the "faith of the upper narrators" represented by the church. It was just that in this strange place, out of common sense in mysticism, no one said anything that should not be said.

"We need to report what happened here to the Pope," said Archbishop Yuri after a moment of silence. "In addition, it is necessary for this small town to remain and gather more people to conduct a more detailed investigation in the future."

Selena nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "In addition, for this sect that believes in the 'upper narrators', their customs and legends are also necessary to conduct in-depth analysis. Logically, any customs and legends did not come out of thin air. They are very likely to imply changes within the period when Sandbox No. 1 is out of control."

She gently shook the lantern, relieved her psychological hints of the old man in gray robe, then withdrew her gaze from the pulpit and looked at the gate at the entrance of the church: "Leave here for the time being."

Daniel and Archbishop Yuri nodded in response. The four high-level priests wearing owl masks were also bowing their heads to take the order. The group walked towards the exit of the church. The old man in gray robe who gradually woke up from confusion quietly looked at the direction where the uninvited guests left. After a long time, he smiled and reached out to make a gesture of covering something with his palms on it, and said gently: "Peace all the way, the upper narrators will bless you all..."

Gao Wen stood by the pulpit, glanced at the old man in gray robe casually, followed Selena and others' steps, and returned to the street outside.

In the town, night is still continuing, the chaotic and gloomy sky covers the earth. In the scattered houses, the warm and soft lights are still bright, and the silence of the strange light leaks out from the gaps between the curtains or wooden boards, outlining bizarre shadows on the streets.

This made Gao Wen unable to help but have a strange association: the whole town seemed like a shadowy dream, full of dissonance and weirdness, but the people in it could only realize this in their occasional awakening and were shocked and sweated.

So... those "testers" who were sent into the sandbox and experienced thousands of years and dozens of reincarnations in the sandbox, did they "awake" for a moment by chance and then notice a trace of truth in this dream world? After realizing this trace of truth, how do they view the "upper narrators" who created this sandbox world?

Is the old man in the church corresponding to a lost tester in the sandbox No. 1? Or... the "resident" who was born by the sandbox to maintain operation?

"On the day when the bell rings, those who stay on the street will encounter a sacred 'deletion'..." Selena said as if she was talking to herself, "But it seems that we are not affected. It's just that we cannot be sure whether 'deletion' will really happen in the real sandbox No. 1 sandbox."

"I'm even more curious about what the so-called 'deletion' corresponds to," Daniel nodded, "After I go back, I will review the early records of the No. 1 sandbox operation, and maybe I can find clues."

Archbishop Yuri came to the center of the square, and he was still responsible for the navigation and teleportation of the entire team. Layer light golden runes appeared beside him. The gentle and gentle archbishop of the Eternal Sleeper kept the rune running while saying loudly: "The monitoring team is ready to lift the blocking and perform a 'dream jump' in two minutes."

A voice came from the rune: "The monitoring team received it, and the blocking will be released in one minute, and the dream jumping permission will be activated in two minutes."

Daniel and Selena walked into the rune range, and four other high-level priests wearing owl masks were soon in place. Gao Wen came to them swaggeringly, preparing to return to Dream City with the team.

Just like when they came, although the priests could not feel Gao Wen's existence, they still subconsciously adjusted their positions, leaving a seemingly normal space for one person to stand.

Someone was slowing down.

Gao Wen couldn't help but look at the high-level priest wearing an owl mask. In the last few seconds when the light golden runes around him were about to take shape, he suddenly felt a little incongruity.

Four people?

"One person is added!!" Gao Wen's eyes suddenly became sharp and he reminded loudly.

Daniel reacted very quickly, and he had almost no hesitation. He subconsciously raised his hand and interrupted Archbishop Yuri's dream jumping spell, and warned loudly: "There is one more person!"

The light golden rune shattered in an instant, and the dream jump that was about to be formed suddenly interrupted. Archbishop Yuri was stunned for a moment, and then heard Daniel's warning. As a senior archbishop, he immediately reacted. While releasing subsequent spells to stabilize the surrounding dream shield, he spoke quickly to the monitoring team behind: "There is a risk of Class II leakage and blocking the ports in this area!"

The lantern emitting a psychedelic light floated in the air, and the light rippled in all directions like a substantial wave of water, as if an invisible breeze blew across the heart, and everyone felt a clear mind in their spirit, and a word that had been away for seven hundred years reached Gao Wen's ears: "...Protect your mind and I will sweep away the shadows!"

This made Gao Wen unable to help looking in the direction where the sound came. Selena Ger broke up and held the lantern, standing among everyone, with a gentle and quiet face, but his brows were slightly frowning, and his eyes were as deep as water.

The three archbishops' attention soon fell on the four high-level priests wearing owl masks.

It was not until this moment that the people at the scene suddenly remembered that there were only six people in the entire team when they set out, including three archbishops and three high-level priests. It was not until this moment that they suddenly realized that there was one more person wearing masks!

The four priests stood together, their masks obscuring their true expressions, but judging from their tight limbs and slightly accelerated breathing, they were highly nervous and full of vigilance.

Under the archbishop's gaze, they began to look at each other, as if they wanted to find out who was the "extraordinary person".

Selena maintained the "clear" effect of lanterns, and her tone was serious and low: "Recalling, when was it abnormal?"

"After checking the cabin," Daniel thought for a moment, "I can't remember how many people came out, but I remember four voices that reported at that time!"

Yuri's tone was even more nervous and alert: "After entering the church, I clearly saw four figures but was completely unaware of the abnormality."

His words made everyone on the scene realize the seriousness of the problem

Including Daniel, there are three Archbishops of the Eternal Sleeping!

Every Archbishop is a strong man in the field of mind and soul, an expert who can detect tiny abnormalities in his dreams. However, in this "Phantom Town" formed by data overflowing from sandbox No. 1, the three of them did not find one more person in the team from beginning to end!

This is the spiritual interference that can influence the advanced level and even the legendary strong man!

Although they immediately woke up from this "confused" state after being reminded, this was still scary.

"Now start the investigation," Selena's eyes swept over the four high-level priests, and the light of the lantern in her hand gradually mixed from milky white into a twilight turbidity like dusk. "Open your mind and undergo examination."

The light began to sweep across the four high-level priests, and Gao Wen's eyes fell on them.

One of the priests' figure suddenly trembled, like a illusion projection of a bad signal.

A light golden rune condensed in Archbishop Yuri's hand, and the priest whose figure was shaking instantly turned into a hazy phantom, quickly becoming transparent in the air.

The beams condensed from the light golden runes swept through the phantoms. In a vague way, Gao Wen seemed to hear a vague sound that screamed and howled. The next moment, the sound of the screaming and howling dissipated with the hazy phantom.

Daniel looked at Yuri: "Is it destroyed?"

Yuri's face showed a strange look: "It should have been eliminated...but the 'feeling' is strange, unlike any mind I've ever destroyed...somewhat looks like a 'semi-finished product'."

Just when Daniel wanted to ask something, everyone heard a voice at the same time

From the small church behind everyone, a sigh of helplessness and ridicule came: "Oh..."

With this sigh, the small church with a grayish-white exterior wall quickly became transparent and illusory under the noses of everyone, and gradually dissipated in the air.

The lights of the houses in the town also went out as the church disappeared, and the street lights on both sides of the road dimmed one by one.

The whole town returned to the state when Gao Wen, Daniel and others just entered.

But in everyone's eyes, this place is several times more strange and dangerous than before.

Selena's lantern was still emitting a dim light mixed with. Even though the "extra person" who was suspected of being mixed in had been eliminated by Archbishop Yuri, she also used the lantern to illuminate everyone on the scene. After everyone was inspected and confirmed that there was no problem, she showed a slight relief and nodded and said, "Leave quickly, this place is weird and should not stay for a long time."

Archbishop Yuri immediately began to arrange the dream jumping ceremony and notified the surveillance team behind to lift the alarm.

Gao Wen also stood among these eternal sleepers again. This time, he carefully confirmed the number of people around him and confirmed that there were no extra people.

The light golden runes gradually formed and closed.

Before the dream jump began, Archbishop Yuri couldn't help but look around again, and his eyes finally fell on Daniel: "There aren't many people?"

Gao Wen looked around, looked down at himself, and nodded to Daniel: "The number of people is normal, not a single one."

Daniel also nodded to Archbishop Yuri: "The number of people is normal, not a large number of them."

"...I'll have to take a good rest when I go back," Archbishop Yuri smiled helplessly, saying while activates the dream jump, "I always feel that there is an invisible person standing beside me."

...

As the light and shadow flashed, the team returned to the square of Dream City.

"Article Daniel, it seems to be a pretty correct decision to make you a member of the Supreme Bishops' Order," Selena Gerfen looked at Daniel at the first time after the teleportation, "Your agility and vigilance have prevented us from an unexpected danger of consequences."

"Checking all parameters and items after each task is a standard operation for security personnel," Daniel smiled reservedly. "That 'extra' is not very secretive. As long as we check it, we will find that it just weakens our 'check' idea, and I, just in this regard, have formed an irreversible habit."

"Anyway, this reminds us and allows us to accumulate some experience in dealing with sandbox No. 1, which will come in handy in the next exploration," Archbishop Yuri exclaimed, "Let's stop here today."

One by one, one figure disappeared in the square one after another.

Gowen and Daniel stayed at the end.

"Keep in touch, I will always pay attention to this matter," Gao Wen nodded slightly, and was ready to leave. "If you have any further exploration, please report."
Chapter completed!
