Gwen left the crystal square area, but he did not go to the huge palace-like building in the center of the city. That huge palace was probably where the highest authority of the Eternal Sleepers was located. Although he had high authority in this network and had successfully found many loopholes in the mental network, he did not intend to take the risk for the time being. Unless it was necessary, he did not intend to go to a place that required higher authority.
He left the place where the crystal was placed along a beautiful trail covered with fallen leaves and stopped in a quiet garden. There were only a few Eternal Sleepers here. They seemed to be resting here. These cultists were like ordinary citizens, strolling between the flower beds or chatting casually on the bench. If he did not know the truth of this virtual world, perhaps even Gwen would have been fooled by this peaceful appearance.
Gwen thought about the mysterious cult of the Eternal Sleepers, their future, the virtual reality technology they created, and the experimental field he built.
This Eternal Dream was too useful. Even if Gwen knew how it was built, he could not deny the fact.
Although the original intention of the Eternal Sleepers to build this virtual world was to bewitch mortals, to pursue their own eternal dreams, and to escape from reality, as long as this virtual world was used properly, its value could not be ignored. Gwen had secretly built his own simulation experimental field here. To be honest, he hoped that the experimental field could continue to be used, and even the entire mental network could continue to develop. However, the bloody technology used by the Eternal Sleepers was a big problem.
To build the Human Brain Array at the cost of innocent lives … To be honest, although Gwen had always thought of himself as an "exploiter" who would not let go of any value, his "skill" was not comparable to the cultists. He still could not adapt to this kind of thing.
So he had been trying to figure out the essence of the Eternal Sleepers' technology, to understand the principle of this "Human Brain Array Network". He wanted to find a way to improve it, and he felt that this improvement must exist.
This was because none of the divine spells of the Church of Dreams used the human brain as a casting substrate. Even without the human brain substrate, the divine spells of the Church of Dreams could connect with the human mind. And according to the way the druids transformed nature divine spells into nature spells, the transformation of divine spells into spells did not require any changes in the casting materials. The only thing that changed was the casting process. Therefore, there must be something wrong with the technique that the Eternal Sleeper was using now.
Gwen thought about stealing technology from the Eternal Sleepers and building an improved mental network while looking coldly at the cultists who were moving between the flower paths and the shade of the trees.
These guys didn't seem crazy at all when they were in the Eternal Dream. They seemed to have created everything just to live a good life in the Eternal Dream.
As a cult, these guys seriously lacked professionalism. Shouldn't the real dedicated cultists wear a black cloak when they sleep at home and use the toilet paper with a goat's head painted on it when they go to the toilet? You guys really created an ideal heaven and all of you are addicted to it. What is the meaning of this?
Gawain could not help but mutter in his heart. The longer he stayed in this Dreamscape, the more he could not help but feel that the Order of the Eternal Rest was incomprehensible. They were clearly able to wreak havoc in the outside world and wreak havoc in the entire kingdom. But in this Dreamscape, each and every one of them was actually elegant and courteous citizens. Gawain had been here for so long, but he had not heard a single person discuss the Eternal Rest … Could it be that these people had forgotten that they were actually cultists?
Just as Gwen was grumbling in his mind, a soft and pleasant voice suddenly came from the side and interrupted his thoughts.
"Uncle! Can I sit next to you? "
Gawain's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to calm down before his expression changed. He calmly turned his head to take a look and was surprised to find that it was a little girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old. She was wearing a beautiful light white dress and had soft light brown hair. Her eyes were big and bright, and her lips were thin and curved slightly as if she was smiling all the time.
She was a very beautiful and polite girl, but Gwen would not be fooled by such a superficial appearance. He had experienced the Internet Age in his previous life, and he knew that the Mental Network supported the face-changing function, so he would not be fooled by the appearance in front of him. God knows what kind of guy was behind this cute and sweet girl. Not only would he pick his feet, but he would also sleep in a black cloak and use the toilet paper with a black goat head painted on it.
The image of a typical middle-aged cultist flashed across Gwen's mind, and the sweet girl in front of him was suddenly processed into a pile of mosaics with a filter. He nodded indifferently at the pile of mosaics. "Of course."
"Phew." The little girl came to the bench where Gwen was sitting, turned around and jumped so that she could land steadily on the bench. With a happy smile on her face, she said, "I've been running in the park for a long time! I'm so tired! "
Even her tone was like a little girl's. Gwen could not help but feel a chill.
He knew that there could not be real children in this virtual world. This was the Mental Network of the Eternal Sleepers. The prerequisite for connecting in was to become a devout Eternal Sleeper with a certain level of spellcasting ability. How could a twelve-year-old child project her own spirit into this Mental Network? Therefore, the children's' characters' here were 100% self-made.
Gwen turned his head and looked at the little girl who was happily shaking her legs. He felt cold sweat coming out. He finally saw the Eternal Sleepers in this dream world who fit the characteristics of the cultists. Although they were not cruel, at least they were perverted.
The little girl also noticed Gwen's gaze. She turned her face curiously and asked, "Uncle, why do you keep looking at me?"
And … and she called him uncle!
Had these Eternal Sleepers been addicted to the Mental Network for so long that they had gone all the way to the path of perversion?
Gawain held back the muscles on his face and forced a smile. He decided to play along with the 'little girl' and asked, "Where are your parents?"
"They're not here!" The little girl shook her body as if she could not calm down for a second. "But Sister Selina will take care of me. She lives in the city center!"
City center? That huge palace building?
Gwen's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he even forgot whether the little girl was a middle-aged cultist. If it was the palace building in the center of the City of Dreams, then it should be a place where only the Eternal Sleepers could enter with the highest authority!
He couldn't help but take another serious look at the little girl in front of him. She still had that innocent look on her face, as if those words just now had really come out of her mouth …
Would a cultist of the Eternal Sleepers really be so 'immersed'?
Gwen frowned and asked casually, "What's your name?"
"Patty!" the little girl said cheerfully. "My name is Patty Galen."
It was a name he had never heard of. He had heard of the surname, but there were many people with the surname Galen, so it was not useful.
"Uncle, what's your name?" The little girl blinked and stared at Gawain with a curious look.
"… Sersi, no surname." Gawain thought for a moment and casually made up a name. This mental network did not have a mature ID mechanism, so it was easy to forge a name. No matter how capable this little girl was, she would not be able to find out the real identity of an intruder who had entered through a loophole.
"Oh, what a strange name." The little girl, who called herself Patty, nodded and seemed to want to say something to Gwen. But at this moment, someone called her from the opposite side. The girl immediately jumped down from the chair happily and waved in the direction of the voice. "I heard it, Sister Selina!"
Gwen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman in a lavender dress with a purple veil on her face standing by the flower bed opposite him. The woman's eyes swept over him.
Gwen nodded to the woman indifferently. Patty bowed to him in an exaggerated way. "Uncle Sersi! I'm leaving! "
"Well, nice to meet you. See you next time."
Gawain politely said goodbye to the little girl. Then he saw the girl, who called herself Patty, running all the way to the woman in the veil. Patty excitedly held the woman's hand and said something quickly. It seemed that she was telling the woman what she had seen today and introducing her new 'Uncle Sersi' to the woman. Gawain saw the veiled woman bend down to tidy up Patty's messy skirt. Then, she shifted her gaze to Gawain again.
The woman nodded to Gwen silently, bowed slightly, and then took the little girl's hand and left.
Gawain watched all this with an expressionless face until the two left the garden and disappeared behind a wall.
A strange feeling lingered in his heart. Gwen shook his head, stood up, and decided to leave this place.
He cut off the connection between himself and the mental network, allowing his spiritual senses to quickly spin and fall in the void, before he completely returned to the real world.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Amber sitting opposite him, staring at him with a serious expression as if he was staring at a money bag.
Gawain blinked. Hu Po, who was staring at Gawain, suddenly reacted and jumped in fright. "Wah!"
"Whoa — you scared me." Gwen stretched his stiff neck. "What are you doing?"
"Looking at you," Amber said matter-of-factly. "Didn't you ask me to look at you?"
Gwen's mouth twitched. "Err … I didn't ask you to look at me like that."
"You looked like you were asleep just now." Amber confirmed that Gwen had woken up. He immediately came up to him curiously and circled him as if he was a rare creature. "Were you really sleeping? What did you dream of? "
Gwen looked at the guy helplessly. "I saw a little girl, okay?"
Amber's circling movement suddenly stiffened, and the next second, she jumped two meters away with a horrified face. "You, you, you … you won't even let a little girl go?!"
Before Gawain could say anything, this guy popped up again. "So the novel about you dating more than eighty princesses is actually a documentary?!"
