Sword of Daybreaker

After a simple attempt, Kovan confirmed that the situation on Daniel's side was indeed different from his own.

Not only is there a significant difference in the environment around him, but more importantly, Daniel does not seem to be in a state that he can leave the network at any time like himself.

After repeated attempts to break away from the Internet, Daniel reported his status with a hint of worry: "... Master, I can't feel the borders of the real world. The hazy and unreal mist here seems to not only block my dream world. The five senses also interfered with my positioning in the real world. If you cannot locate reality, you cannot escape from the Internet. "

Does it interfere ...

Gao Wen did not answer for a moment, but just silently analyzed in his heart.

He can connect to Daniel's consciousness, which shows that the other person's mind is still on the network, but it is blocked by some unknown "power", and the kind of hazy and unreal mist mentioned by the other person ... has the ability to block the five senses, The nature of disturbing the actual positioning may be the manifestation of this shielding power on Daniel's side.

But this interference and shielding power obviously does not work for Gao Wen, an extraterrestrial wanderer who came in through the Internet.

Can this strange "exempt" nature be used to help Daniel get out of trouble?

Gao Wen is not sure about this. He feels that he must at least find Daniel's "location" and verify it after contacting the other party.

In the spiritual network, it is possible to “locate” the azimuth, and this positioning technology is the result of the joint development of Gao Wen and Daniel. The reason why Daniel was successfully promoted from the nightmare mentor to the rank of bishop also contributed to this achievement.

Now the strange "shielding" state that Daniel and others are in seems to interfere with the network's positioning function. When Gao Wen tries to search for Daniel's location, he only sees a shadow of nothingness and confusion.

But just as Gao Wen left a lot of secret ports and exploitable holes in the landing and communication layer of the psychic network, in this positioning system ... he and Daniel plugged almost double-digit "dark lines" into it, These dark lines are almost equivalent to another hidden positioning mechanism, not monitored by the psychic network, or even known to anyone other than Gao Wen and Daniel.

With the idea of ​​verifying some speculations, Gao Wen closed his eyes slightly and quietly activated a network link that had never been activated. In the dim darkness, a flashing "net" appeared in his vision of the mind. And coincide with this weird town.

A flickering light spot immediately appeared, not far from Daniel's mind.

Gao Wen's heart was quite calm, with a calmness that had been expected.

Sure enough, the power of Sandbox No. 1 had no effect on the various "hidden ports" and "hidden links" set by him and Daniel.

Because these hidden ports and links are not known to outsiders, the dormant does not know them, the mind network does not know them, then the sandbox No. 1 built by the dormant and rooted in the mind network ... naturally does not know them.

Just as Gao Wen thought: virtual systems can't simulate things beyond the system itself, and the "weird" brewed in the No. 1 sandbox no matter how powerful it can be, it can't refer to things it doesn't understand.

He himself is not affected by the many strange forces of the No. 1 sandbox. This is also the reason: his “outland wanderer” who came in the net and his soul does not yet belong to this world. It should be the most unnamed, Incomprehensible "things", even ... Sandbox No. 1 should not be able to perceive his existence architecturally.

Just like those dormant priests who have acted with Gao Wen till now, but have never known about the existence of the latter.

But this should be limited to the current situation. When the power of the sandbox No. 1 exceeds the sandbox itself, and it becomes a kind of god-like existence, it will be said whether this restriction will take effect.

In the process of turning his thoughts and various speculations and plans, Gao Wen has walked through the quiet and uninhabited town streets and reached the depths of an alley near the square.

This is where Daniel is shown by the positioning system.

However, it was empty and there were no figures.

Gao Wen closed his eyes slightly. In the imaginary positioning grid, the light spot representing Daniel flickered in front of him, and the signal was clear and stable.

"My lord," Daniel's voice sounded in his mind at the same time, "I sense that you are already nearby, but I can't see you ..."

"I can't see you, but since you can sense my breath, it seems that the" shield "loophole in this sandbox is not small," Gao Wen said lightly in his mind. "It doesn't seem to shield us. A series of 'deep channels' that you should be able to use to get out of the network.

"You try first, but don't really get out of this town. There seems to be a lot of weirdness, let's explore some more.

"And I care a little bit about where the other 'deleted' people are."

"Yes, my lord," Daniel responded respectfully, then quieted down, and began to try to use the "deep channels" that can bypass the surface layer of the mental network to rebuild the connection with the real world. About ten seconds later, his voice was transmitted again Come, with a touch of relaxation and respect, "My lord, as you said! After enabling the deep channel, I re-perceived the boundary of reality and should be able to get out of the current state smoothly."

"Okay," Gao Wen nodded. "Then it's time to find your real position ..."

As he spoke, he looked around, trying to find contradictions.

Daniel's "location" is here. There is no doubt that Sandbox No. 1 cannot shield the hidden links in the "deep channel", so the positioning system should work well, but he can't see people ... Sensory interference? Parallel space? still is……

In thought, his gaze swept across the nearby ground, and a small pool of water caught his eyes.

This moved his heart and couldn't help thinking of the water reflections he saw on the square.

He came to the stagnant water and saw the calm surface of the water reflecting the appearance of the surrounding streets and the reflection of the water on the square. In the reflection, the warm and bright street lights were illuminated in the phantom town. Everyone lights up.

Gao Wen squatted beside the stagnant water, remembering the occult knowledge he had mastered in his mind, and had a clear understanding.

He stretched out his hand and touched it gently on the calm water surface, and a few fine ripples spread out in the reflection. The shadow of the town was shaking and shaking before him. When the water surface gradually stopped, he saw the town in the reflection. The lights had gone out, and it was already shrouded in boundless darkness.

Gao Wen stood up and listened to the faint laughter and chatter in the residential houses behind him. The top of the nearby iron black lamp post sprinkled bright and warm lights, illuminating the street, letting his figure pull out on the road long.

This is the town after the bell rang.

In this way he penetrated some kind of "curtain" and came to the "other side" of this town!

Govin also saw Daniel.

The old mage was standing quietly under a street lamp a little far away, with his waist squinting, his eyes staring blankly forward, as if he was in a trance, and had no response to the appearance of Gao Wen.

Gao Wen frowned. He remembered that Daniel used the image of a middle-aged mage when he entered the psychic network, but now the other party has become a real appearance in the real world. This strange town lifted Daniel's camouflage. effect? Or was Daniel removed from his disguise unconsciously after his mind was disturbed?

Confusion flashed through his heart, and Gao Wen stepped up to Daniel. He first confirmed that there were no other people like Selena and others, and then raised his hand, and patted him lightly on Daniel's shoulder.

This was just an attempt, but it immediately had an effect. Gao Wen could obviously feel that there was some kind of stagnant and distorted breath immediately broken and dissipated after he took a photo with his palm. Immediately lifted, he first instinctively exposed his vigilance, then immediately saw Gao Wen, and saw the streets surrounded by lights.

"My lord," Daniel bowed to Govin immediately, and looked around in confusion, "this is ..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a phantom town after the bell rang," Gao Wensheng said, "I was some unknown force coming in through the reflection of the water to divide the town into bells before the bell rang. After the bell rang, the town was hidden deep after the bell rang. You are trapped here, and everyone else should be the same. "

He paused and said with a smile: "It seems that my existence itself is a kind of disruption to the 'rules' here. I didn't expect that it would be so easy to wake you up. I thought that if a slap didn't work, It's going to be a bit more drastic to break this weird place. "

"Your strength is incomparable," Daniel said immediately with a hint of awe and gratitude, and then he noticed the change in his image, with a confused look on his face, "how did I become like the real world ..."

Gao Wen glanced at the old mage: "I'm also curious you don't know what's going on?"

"It's ... I don't know," Daniel frowned. "Strange, not only has it become the real world, but it hasn't been able to re-pretend ..."

"It may be that the strange power of this town is suppressing foreign objects," Gao Wen said as he looked deep into the street. "Maybe the depth of the town does not support the" virtual image ". In any case, raise the point Be wary, I really feel like ... this town is alive and unwilling. "

"Yes," Daniel said respectfully and followed Gao Wen's gaze into the distance. "Master, what are we going to do next?"

"Find someone else first, and investigate here on the way," Gao Wen casually said. "Using deep channels, you should be able to locate the position of other people, right?"

Daniel tried it first, then nodded: "Yes. I have sensed Magnum and Yuri's position, not far away, they seem to be together."

"Let's go and see what happens."

The two left here and walked deeper into the street, accompanied by the vocals from time to time in the dwellings along the road, and the various lights around the town, a strange and terrifying atmosphere haunting those old and dark Between the houses and corners of the street, Daniel, who was walking next to Gao Wen, wearing a black robe, and his nerves slowly creeping, and his own gloomy temperament, aggravated the effect of this atmosphere.

There doesn't seem to be anything more suitable for this "haunted town" scene atmosphere than a gloomy old wizard in a black robe.

As he walked, Gao Wen couldn't help but glance at Daniel and said casually, "Your mental state should have stabilized?"

The old mage did not know why Gao Wen raised this point suddenly, but still answered immediately: "Yes, thanks for your gift, I have been freed from that terrible mental torture."

"Then don't you consider changing your temperament and style in the real world?"

"This ..." The old mage seemed a little dazed. "Mary did say that she wanted to prepare some new clothes for me, but ... no, nothing, if this is your will, then I ..."

Gao Wen's mind quickly conceived the old mage's style of changing the style in the real world. After a bunch of broken pictures emerged in his mind, he quickly interrupted this somewhat too divergent idea and interrupted before Daniel's voice fell Says: "Forget it, I just said casually, don't take it to heart."

Daniel, as always, has no doubt: "Everything you want."

Gao Wen gave a glance, glanced forward, and stopped slowly.

He saw two figures standing abruptly not far away, and it was the other two archbishops who were "shielded" to "this side" with Daniel.

They were also disguised, restored to the real world, and stood beside the street in a daze.

One of them was wearing a white robe, with a gentle temperament, and wearing a pair of monocles. His appearance could also be identified as Archbishop Yuri, but he was over middle-aged, with a few wrinkles on his face and a lot of white hair on his head. The figure is also slightly blessed.

The other person is undoubtedly the Archbishop Magnum. His physical appearance and "virtual image" have hardly changed compared to his height, but his height has changed from more than two meters to less than one meter five ... almost It's about as high as amber.

Gao Wen silently glanced at the two archbishops not far away, and lowered his head and said to Daniel, "There are also very individual people in the Everlasting."

Daniel: "... Exactly as you said."
