Was it Gawain Cecil's memory fragments? The eighteenth decryption? And even more computing power?
This sudden information immediately attracted Gawain's attention. With a thought, the information that was rapidly refreshing in his mind stopped, and he firmly grasped onto this piece of information.
Obviously, the Eternal Sleepers were quite crude in their data security management. The unencrypted data and the network structure that lacked warning mechanisms were simply defenseless in Gwen's eyes. Even though he was still quite unfamiliar with this mental network, he could use the knowledge he devoured and a series of random operations to figure out how to operate the information in the network in a short time and lock the direction of the information flow.
Of course, this could not be entirely attributed to the Eternal Sleepers' weak security awareness. After careful analysis, Gwen realized that their mental network itself was actually quite secure. First of all, the prerequisite to access this network was to become an Eternal Sleeper. Only by using a special "fallen divine spell" to shape one's spirit and passing the "registration certification" of the mental network of the Eternal Sleepers could a person be qualified to access this network. Secondly, this network itself also had simple identity authentication and authority management. In addition to having the "Eternal Sleeper account" to connect to the network, individuals who connected to the network also had the corresponding authority to move in several areas of this virtual world. The barrier around the city center was the embodiment of the authority system.
Considering that the human spirit could not be replicated under normal circumstances, this kind of "account management" was actually quite reliable.
However, this network had the most fatal flaw: as long as an individual met the two requirements of the network qualification and the corresponding authority, all his actions in this network were uncontrollable. Even if he randomly searched for information like Gwen, tormented the data nodes with various wrong operations, and displayed countless suspicious behaviors, the network would not raise any alarm.
In short, this network was impregnable in the face of external attacks, but it was defenseless against internal threats.
The Eternal Sleepers who created this network certainly did not expect that there would be such an anomaly like Gwen — a "satellite spirit" who could devour the spirit of others and even pretend to have the authority of the mind …
Gwen pretended to be deep in thought and closed his eyes slightly. In fact, he had begun to search the entire network based on the information he had captured. He was trying to get as much useful information as possible from the mental network of the Eternal Sleeper before the connection ended.
There was indeed an unbelievably huge loophole in this network, but Gwen believed that the otherworlders were not fools, and neither were the Eternal Sleepers. The flaw in this network was only because it was still a half-finished product. The Eternal Sleepers would realize this sooner or later.
Only the heavens knew how fast these cultists, who usually had nothing better to do in their dreams, could fix bugs …
After several attempts, Gwen finally grasped the trick of grabbing information from the mental network. He searched with the characteristics of "Gwen Cecil's memory fragments" and unexpectedly found that there was a lot of corresponding information.
The Eternal Sleepers had tried to crack "Gwen Cecil's memory fragments" 17 times, and without exception, all of them failed. The most painful failure was the first time. They organized hundreds of powerful cult members to form a computing array and tried to crack the memory fragments by brute force, but they were all wiped out.
After that, they learned their lesson and no longer tried to crack the memory fragments by brute force. Instead, they tried to cut the memory fragments and vaguely understand them. Now, more than 300 of them had died one after another, and all of them were elites.
And the source of these memory fragments was unexpected but reasonable: they were the memories that the Eternal Sleepers had "secretly uploaded" through their own mental connection when Gwen devoured them.
Before the devoured cult member died, he tried his best to copy some of the memories he saw and sent them to his companions … This really surprised Gwen.
That guy might have wanted to use this method to warn his companions and let them know the truth about 'Gawain Cecil'. It could also be that he simply wanted to send back some valuable information. It was even more likely that he was completely in a frenzy and could not control his actions at all. Regardless, the memory fragments he sent back had become the 'important spoils of war' for the Eternal Sleepers. These cultists seemed to have made up their minds to rummage through these memory fragments to get something out of them …
Gwen carefully read the records of the Eternal Sleepers' analysis of the memory fragments that were circulating on the network. Due to the network's almost unguarded information structure, he could almost see all the information in the database.
After some tracing and locking, he even found the place where the memory fragments were stored.
After confirming that he had not attracted the attention of anyone on the network, he carefully opened the data.
Sure enough, it was the observation record of himself overlooking the earth from space … There was not much data, about seventy to eighty thousand years of high-definition video data.
Even though it was his own memory, Gwen could not help but yawn when he saw the video data. He had to admit that these almost unchanging images were really boring. Come to think of it, those cultists were really pitiful. They had spent a lot of manpower and resources, and in the end, they had succeeded in reading this huge amount of memory, but they could only stare at this meaningless surveillance. And Gwen was almost sure that they did not dare to fast forward …
They were afraid that they would miss the whole world if they fast forwarded. That was pretty much the mentality. Imaginable, imaginable.
Gwen thought about it carefully. As a kind person, he decided to add something not so boring to these boring memory fragments …
After an unknown amount of time, Gawain finally completed the modification of those memory fragments. Since it was his own memory, he was able to manipulate it with ease. However, in order to avoid leaving any traces behind, he spent a lot of time modifying the "characteristics" of the memory fragments and erasing the traces of his own modifications. Although he felt that the Eternal Sleepers, who had a weak concept of information security, would not have thought of this. But it was better to be safe than sorry. What if there was an obsessive-compulsive disorder among the Eternal Sleepers?
And after completing this work, Gwen still felt energetic. He thought about it and did not directly cut off the connection. Instead, he continued to search the massive mental network, trying to find more secrets of the Eternal Sleepers, especially technical data about the principles of the mental network.
The Eternal Sleeper's method of constructing the Human Brain Array was indeed insane, but this didn't mean that all of their technologies were of this style. Or at the very least, there should be gentler and less inhumane alternative technologies. Regardless of whether these technologies could be grasped by outsiders or not, it was definitely profitable to steal them now.
But just as Gwen began to search for this information, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky.
He looked up in shock, only to see that a huge crack had appeared in the originally clear and bright sky. The ugly crack was like a scar that tore apart the world, quickly spreading in all directions. The glorious world that was built by the mental network was quickly falling apart as the crack spread. The city towers in the distance were collapsing, and the floating lands and palaces in the sky were falling to the ground one after another. At a glance, it was like doomsday!
Gwen's first reaction was that his messing around on the network was exposed, or that he had messed up the half-finished mental network. But soon a voice echoed in his mind, and this voice made him understand what was happening.
"The stars have left their positions, and the gods have yet to return. The eternal dream is temporarily closed. Everyone, return to the secondary consciousness network."
The 'residents' in the city looked at each other in shock, and disappointment and anger began to spread in the city. But these cultists did not hesitate. In Gwen's sight, one by one, the figures began to fade: these Eternal Sleepers had logged out of the network one by one.
Gwen smiled and thought of the 'little gifts' he had left in the network. He was satisfied and cut off the mental connection.
After an indescribable but extremely brief trance, the virtual world formed by the illusion disappeared, and the familiar balcony and starry sky gradually appeared in his vision.
There was also Amber, who was jumping up and down and putting her face close to him to scare him.
"Damn it!" Gwen was in a trance at this time, and when he saw Amber jumping in front of him, he was shocked. He almost reached out to grab Amber's ear, but he caught nothing. In the trance, he missed, and the half-elf's ability to avoid the claws seemed to have improved.
"What are you doing!" Gawain glared at the half-elf in front of him. Although he didn't manage to catch the half-elf, his aura had obviously frightened the half-elf. "Are you trying to scare me by jumping around?"
"I saw you in a daze with your eyes closed, and I thought something had happened to you!" Amber put her hands on her waist and shouted loudly. "I'm just showing concern for you, and you're not satisfied?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true." Amber rolled her eyes discontentedly. "And what the hell were you doing just now? Did you just fall asleep standing there? I shouted in your ear for a long time, and you didn't respond! "
"You even tried to wake me up?" Gwen immediately frowned. "I didn't hear anything at all … Well, it seems that next time I have to find a way to pay attention to the movements in the real world, or there will be hidden dangers …"
"What are you talking about?" Amber blinked. "Are you really confused?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Gwen could see that at least half of the half-elf was really concerned about him, so he smiled and waved his hand. "By the way, why are you looking for me?"
Amber suddenly showed a happy look, and took out a deck of cards from her arms. "Come play cards, come play cards! It wasn't easy to trick Tyre into playing cards, and now you're the only one left! "
Gwen's mouth twitched. "Tyre …"
The Shame of the Elves could actually communicate with that crazy Siren? This guy doesn't lose Sanity points?!
Or is it because both of them are the shame of the elves, so they cancel each other out …
"Come play cards, come play cards ~ ~"
