Chapter 226: A big guy mixed in

Gawain walked generously on the avenue of this "city of utopia" with the face of Charles I, without the slightest fear that he would be exposed.

Because he has seen more than twenty Charles I along the way......

Charles I is not an earth-shattering handsome match, but it is clear that walking on the street with the face of the founding father of Ansu has a different feeling, these Eternal Sleeper cultists immersed in the virtual world are still mortals with seven emotions and six desires after all, and they are in some ...... Strange place, still with personal hobbies.

All this gave Gawain an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

Is this what the Sleepers are trying to create? An illusory, wonderful, even mythical world...... Dream?

Gawain could clearly feel that this virtual world was very different from the illusions he had encountered before, it was not only more grandiose, but also more realistic, more addictive, every leaf, every ray of sunlight, and even every speck of dust here was molded and operated as if it were the real world, while the "residents" who walked the streets enjoyed it with satisfaction and joy, as if they didn't remember that it was a virtual space.

Gawain was a little surprised—he didn't expect there to be so many people in the Eternal Sleeper.

If this huge city, as well as the floating lands and palaces in the sky, were filled with people, then the number of the Cultists of the Eternal Sleeper would probably reach a sensational level, and millions of them were possible.

A low-key cult group that is secretly developing...... Is it possible to have such a large population?

Gawain walked through the city of dreams with a stomach full of doubts, and in the process of contacting the "inhabitants" of the city, he gradually increased his knowledge of this incredible place.

Navian wandered through the city's central avenue, following his instincts, searching for things that might reveal more about the city's mysteries, but he had to stop when he tried to make his way through a domed building that no one had visited.

There was a loophole in what should have been a perfect "dream" here, he saw that the light and shadow inside the domed building were messy and broken, the white marble floor only covered less than a third of the building, and in the vacancy of the marble floor, he could see a large gray-black matte void, and the messy and broken light in mid-air connected with the void, forming a chaotic appearance.

This is already the fourth "unfinished area" he has discovered in the city.

He thought of the information he had heard from the "inhabitants" earlier.

This dream city was activated in advance, and it seems that in the original plan of the Eternal Sleepers, they will have to prepare for a long time before activating this vast psychic network, but the change of situation has forced them to start all this in advance, which leads to multiple "loopholes" in the dream city. And it's not just the Dream City that is unfinished, but even the lands and palaces that float in the sky are unfinished - many of them are only intact in outline, without any plants or colors on the surface, and the palace is simply an empty shell with enough "spiritual void" to devour the mind.

Gawain didn't know what the "change of situation" was that prompted the Eternal Sleepers to activate this mental network in advance, but he instinctively thought that it was mostly related to the "return of the stars" - Tyr once said that the "Storm Child" who fought with the Kraken on the sea seemed to know about the return of the stars and the resurrection of the gods, and they often performed grand astrological ceremonies, or painted pictures of the stars, ancient gods, etc. on the reef, and Gawain had reason to believe that the Eternal Sleepers who were closely related to the Children of the Storm must also know this information.

The stars returned, the gods woke up, and in order to welcome this event, the cultists had to offer the "sacrifices" that had not yet been prepared in advance?

This is the only reasonable explanation that Gawain can think of, and although there are still many unknowns in it, the general direction should be correct.

It's just that I'm afraid that none of the cultists would have imagined that the stars of this world have been correctly positioned sixteen times—and their gods still can't wake up.

It was not clear if there were other god corpses on this planet, but he knew that the only god with a clear whereabouts was lying at the bottom of the sea, and it was not enough for the deep sea gods to eat.

In this way, the mental network that these cultists activated in advance is equivalent to a waste of effort, and the loss of manpower and material resources, the disruption of plans, and the risk of exposure caused by their forcible advance in the process will deal a heavy blow to their arrogance.

Thinking of this, Gawain couldn't help but laugh happily, and shook his head and smiled as he left the impassable dome.

He knew that the three dark sects were rich in background, and even if they all accidentally started some large-scale rituals in advance and suffered losses, it would not have any impact on them that damaged their foundations, but in any case, losses were losses—at least for a short period of time, the frequency of their troubles would be greatly reduced.

The "inhabitants" of the city were still "living" happily, each with a beaming look on their faces, paralyzing their nerves with visions and dreams, and basking in some kind of long-cherished joy that had been fulfilled, but they did not know how long their pleasant mood would last—probably until the stars had passed and none of them had woken up.

In order to avoid trouble, Gawain did not return to the main road of the city, but walked along the path between the buildings, gradually approaching the central area of this dream city, and the moment he stepped into the central area, he felt the atmosphere around him change.

There was a solemn atmosphere that hung around the city, the relaxed and laid-back atmosphere of the outer part of the city, which seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier, and Gawain looked around in astonishment, only to see a very thin, almost transparent "wall" towering behind him, and this wall extended on both sides, seemingly encircling the entire center of the city.

Gawain cautiously did not move, but carefully observed the situation around the transparent wall, and he soon found that almost all the "residents" were only moving outside the wall, and only a few "residents" would pass through the wall, and these "residents" who passed through the wall were divided into two types, some of them walked in casually like himself, and some had to stop in front of the wall for a long time, chanting some mantra or pressing their hands on the wall to type some commands before entering.

Is this a "permission lock"? Only those who are qualified can pass?

Gawain glanced down at his body in astonishment, he was sure that he had just walked in casually, and even after passing through the wall, he realized the existence of this barrier due to the change in the aura around him.

Do you have some kind of "high authority" here?

Where does this high privilege come from...... Could it be the "permission" of the Eternal Sleeper that he devoured?

Gawain frowned, if this is the case, then what this group of Eternal Sleepers are really doing in the permission system, and the members of the Order who have died don't even have a pin number - another person wearing a vest actually blended in like this......

However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was not a loophole - under normal circumstances, this person's death was already equivalent to automatic cancellation, who would have thought that a devourer like himself would come in wearing a dead man's vest......

In any case, Gawain raised his vigilance and decided to avoid contact with others more carefully: the higher the authority, the fewer people can pass, and the fewer people who can pass, the higher the chance of attracting attention among them, in case the Eternal Sleeper who was swallowed by himself is an existence similar to the Four Heavenly Kings and Five Elders in this entire cult, then he will be exposed as soon as he breaks into the supreme authority space and meets the remaining Heavenly King Elders.

He wasn't afraid that he would lose to these weak chickens who didn't even have hundreds of years of memory experience in the spiritual level, but if he was kicked out of this mental network, it would be a big trouble.

And in the process of moving forward in such a low-key manner, he suddenly noticed a small square in front of him, and an extremely beautiful light blue crystal was suspended above the ground in the center of this small square, and the shimmering light particles escaping from the surface of the crystal reflected the whole square mysteriously and beautifully, and around the crystal, there were scattered figures standing - they did not talk to each other, obviously not meeting here, Gawain saw that several of them put their hands on the surface of the crystal, while the rest of them just stood in place with their eyes closed, It's like thinking.

What are crystals for?

Gawain frowned, and began to search for the memories of the Eternal Sleeper that he had devoured, and after some painstaking searching, he finally found a hint in the messy and broken information - it seemed to be something used to transmit information, and it was a high-class product.

Is it the parent communication node of the psychic network? The "embodied projection" of the communication node in the virtual space?

Gawain hesitated for a moment and decided that he could not let go of this opportunity.

He quietly came to the square, and put his hand on the crystal—the cultist next to the crystal glanced at him slightly, but no one spoke, and the two closest people only moved slightly, giving Gawain some space.

Gawain didn't respond much, just nodded slightly—he had already established a connection with the crystal, and now he had to give his full attention.

After a few unsuccessful attempts, he finally figured out how to use the knowledge he had devoured, and suddenly, he felt some fragments of information flash through his mind, and the next second, the huge database opened up to him!

It worked!

Huge amounts of data and information were flowing through Gawain's mind, and he observed in amazement the "database" constructed by these Eternal Sleeper cultists in this mental network, and once again sighed that the world could not tell whether it was an advanced or backward technology tree.

Who would have thought that a group of crazy cultists would create a huge mental network, a huge virtual world, and a huge information exchange and processing structure in such a world that seems to be as backward as the Middle Ages on the surface!

Of course, they built it all rudely with unreasonable magic, and the way they used this advanced system was very primitive and backward, and in Gawain's view, they were obsessed with creating a virtual world of extreme pleasure with far more care than using this mental network to solve all kinds of real-world problems, but it was undeniably a great creation.

It's so great that Gawain can't help but make up his mind......

While the idea of stealing technology popped up in his mind, Gawain did not stop retrieving those information streams - most of them were useless, because this virtual world had just been launched, and most of its information network was reporting on the operation of various illusory spaces, but suddenly, a piece of information caught his attention:

"Plans for the eighteenth crack of Gawain Cecil's memory fragments, and a notice of requisition of more computing power."
