Amber circled around the chair with a strange shape, a strange painting style, and a suspicious atmosphere no matter how you looked at it, and finally looked at Gawain with a suspicious look in her eyes: "What do you mean, what kind of psychic network can be used to invade the Eternal Sleeper with this thing?" ”

Gawain laughed, "It's not just hacking into the mind network of the Sleepers - it's just a connecting device, and we can use it to form our own 'mind network' if we want to." Of course, many, many of these devices would be needed. ”

"Weird-looking...... Amber muttered, "it always feels like some kind of sacrificial device from an evil ritual that will burst into flames when you sit on it, and then be sacrificed to an evil god on the spot." ”

I don't know where her rich associative ability comes from......

Gawain ignored Amber's whisper next to him, and he looked at Pittman, "Can this thing be used now?" ”

"The human test of connecting to the magic web has passed - after all, the nerve cord and the communication rune themselves are relatively mature technologies, and there is basically no problem in terms of 'connection', but we have not yet tested the connection to the psychic network," said Pittman, "and the psychic network is connected...... There are additional hidden dangers. ”

Gawain knew what Pittman meant by "extra hidden dangers."

The current set of connection devices on the earth can be said to be a black technology level thing, but in this world it is just a product assembled with a bunch of mature technology, although advanced, but not a high-tech technology, there is Pittman, an industry insider, personally controls the link, the operation risk of this set of equipment itself is actually not high, what really needs to be careful is the exposure risk when using this set of devices to connect the mind network of the eternal sleeper.

Gawain himself is never afraid of being exposed when he connects to the psychic network, this is because he has an "identification port" (devoured) that really belongs to the Eternal Sleeper, and later arranged a "legal identity" for himself through brute force cracking and reconstructing the database, no matter how the security mechanism of the Eternal Sleeper is upgraded, he is located in the dead end of the security system, but this device in front of him ...... Will it be able to bypass the security mechanisms of the psychic network?

Gawain had arranged for Daniel to enter the upper echelons of the Eternal Sleeper, and used this privilege to establish all the security mechanisms of the psychic network, leaving a backdoor in the security mechanism, but so far, no third-party port other than himself has tested whether these "backdoors" can be used.

Although theoretically there is no problem, this is the first test after all, and both Pittman and Gawain himself must be cautious at this moment.

Once it fails, and the top management of the Eternal Sleeper is aware of this network intrusion, then Gawain's various schemes with the help of the Mind Network will inevitably increase many risks, not to mention the full exposure.

Gawain slowly glanced around the entire laboratory.

In addition to the "Big Four" of scientific research, Carmel, Pittman, Rebecca and Jenny, there are more than a dozen researchers here.

All of them are familiar faces.

They are the elites hand-picked by Carmel and others, the apprentices and assistants who have been cultivated for a long time, and to be able to participate in this highly confidential project, the loyalty of these people must also be confirmed, looking into the eyes of these people, Gawain asked, "Who was the first to test?" ”

He himself has no way to be a tester - his own mental structure is too special, it has long been beyond the scope of "human", and he has advanced authority in the psychic network, so there is no point in him taking the test himself, so the first to sit on a chair and immerse himself in the psychic network can only be other people on the scene.

"I'll come."

With that trademark, old-fashioned smile, Pittman stepped forward naturally.

And looking at the reaction of other people on the scene, this is obviously the result of their discussion.

"You?" Gawain glanced at the little old man, "Why?" ”

"I made the core part of this thing, and no one knows it better than I do," Pitman said unhurriedly, "and for other reasons...... You should be able to think of that too. ”

Gawain nodded slightly, understanding what Pitman meant.

The other party was more or less an eternal sleeper, and although he had lost the power of the eternal sleeper, he at least had the knowledge.

Once the process of network intrusion goes wrong, he has the knowledge to at least detect the danger in advance, at least know how to run.

"Then get ready," Gawain exhaled, "I'll get 'over there' ready, too." ”

……

In the city of dreams, in the palace area in the center of the city, Daniel, dressed in a black robe, walked quietly inside a palace of golden splendor.

In this dream world where everyone wears masks, he is no longer an old and ugly twilight mage with a rickety body, but a tall, strong, dashing and graceful middle-aged man.

He was dressed in a classical and gorgeous black robe, his face was serious, his steps were steady, and a thick magic book floated beside him, and a respectful voice continued to come from the book: "The second batch of address indexes has been imported...... The new database test was successfully completed...... The reason for the sudden interruption of block 63 has been identified, and it was a nightmare mentor who accidentally fell into a trap while exploring ancient ruins and died on the spot, and he was carrying out the operation of transferring blocks at that time......"

Daniel's footsteps paused slightly: "...... Exploring ancient ruins while performing major operations in a psychic network? ”

"That Nightmare Mentor has always been skilled......"

"In the future, such dangerous behaviors will be prohibited, and all operations involving network commands must be carried out in a stable environment," Daniel said solemnly, "In addition, all major operations involving database changes and network reorganization must be completed by more than two operators to prevent similar 'sudden death' from causing network failures." ”

"Yes."

Daniel, who had been promoted to Nightmare Bishop, nodded slightly, and continued to walk forward unhurriedly while listening to the reports of the junior cultists.

In order to go to the imperial capital, in order to complete the tasks such as "entering the Typhon Research Department" and other tasks assigned by his master, he rarely had the opportunity to enter the psychic network during this period of time, and occasionally connected to inform the top of the Eternal Sleeper Order about his recent situation, so as to prevent being suspected by the upper echelons or affecting his position in the Order, and now he has finally settled down, has a stable residence in Aldernan, and has also built his own secret laboratory, with a relatively safe and stable environment, he finally has the opportunity to return to the psychic network, Continue to deal with the affairs of the Order—and complete the orders of the master.

Along the way, other high-ranking cultists would pass through the hallway, and most of them would stop by Daniel's side to give a brief greeting:

"Peace of soul, Bishop."

"May you always have good dreams, Bishop."

"Hats off, Master Daniel."

Daniel responded to the greetings depending on his mood.

Lower-ranking members would call him Bishop, while bishops of the same rank would call each other Bishop or Master - within the Order of the Sleepers, this meant an enviable and revered position that Daniel had once aspired to and had worked his way up the ranks to obsessed with dark magic.

But now that these positions are in his hands, he doesn't care much about them.

He is a rising star in the recent limelight of the Order of the Eternal Sleeper, a "pioneer" who has proposed a number of groundbreaking concepts in the field of psychic networks, and a genius scholar who has been valued by the Supreme Bishopric and even paid attention to by the Pope, but these identities are nothing compared to the "emissary of the Wanderer".

He walked through the corridors of the temple with a haughty posture that did not arouse the suspicion of any other believer—for he had always been and was entitled to be.

At some point, Daniel's footsteps suddenly stopped.

He stood there for a moment, then tilted his head slightly, and said to the magic book that kept making sounds, "Let's report here first, I'm going to go there myself." ”

"Yes, Bishop."

The book slowly disappeared into thin air, and Daniel quietly walked over to a piece of crystal at the end of the hallway, placing his hand on it.

In the next second, his figure moved from the hallway to a large room.

This is not so much a "room" as a strange space, with a white floor and a pale golden roof, but no walls around the room, but a layer of dense fog that does not disperse, and a large number of light blue or lilac crystal prisms grow obliquely from the dense fog, forming a neatly structured and orderly crystal array around the room, and a large number of Eternal Sleepers in pale gold or white robes are busy around those crystals, monitoring the vast data flow of the entire psychic network.

This doorless and windowless space is a rather special place in the world of psychic networks, it requires special teleportation codes and identification codes to enter, and it is also a place that Daniel is quite proud of-

This is the "cybersecurity and data center" he built for the Eternal Sleepers.

Built at the behest of the owner.

Most of the worshippers in the space did not leave their posts due to Daniel's arrival, but just turned around and saluted respectfully and returned to work, only a few people came to Daniel, and one of them bowed his head: "Bishop." ”

Daniel raised his hand: "Just keep doing your own thing, I'll personally check the safety record for the recent period, don't bother me." ”

"Yes."

As the idlers retreated, Daniel strolled over to one of the crystal prisms that had grown out of the mist, and placed his hand on the top of the pillar, which brightened up and projected a large number of intricate tables and runes.

Here, no one would question any operation of "Bishop Daniel", here are his most die-hard Eternal Sleeper subordinates, but even these most die-hard subordinates are not qualified to touch the cause of the Extraterritorial Wanderers.

Daniel silently scanned the data, monitoring all the safe channels, and in the midst of the leaping runes and markers, a footnote popped out that only he could notice.

The entire system did not respond to this unregistered message.

Daniel's face didn't change, and an unfamiliar voice came from behind him, "Oh ho, that's good...... They've really got it all done......"

Daniel turned around and saw a stranger in a brown robe, wrinkled, slumped, with messy hair and beard standing behind him, looking around with a playful expression, he was standing here in such a grand manner, but the Eternal Sleepers who came and went in the space were still busy with their own business as if they didn't see the "intruder".

Data camouflage in this area has been initiated.

Daniel left the Crystal Console and walked over to Pittman—however, to the eyes of the other Sleepers, he remained standing still, browsing through the vast amount of recorded information, unmistakable.

This is another of the lord's subordinates?

This is another emissary of the Extraterritorial Wanderers?

Pitman and Daniel looked at each other, and similar thoughts flashed through their minds.

Then both old foxes laughed.

Pittman's wrinkles stretched, "For safety, a code." ”

Daniel nodded slightly: "A hymn to loyalty." ”

"A hymn to loyalty."

The two hands were clasped together, and the two voices said in unison: "For a great cause." ”
