Chapter 816： Line of defense (2/2)

The never-sleeper never said "wrong", and never believed in the so-called "tension illusion".

They are experts in the field of dreams, explorers of the spiritual world, and have been on the dangerous road of confrontation with God. They are vigilant that almost neuroticism is the professional habit of every eternal sleeper, and some people in the team have seen unusual sights? Whether it's true or not, throw in twenty mind detections first!

However, after all the detection spells were activated, nobody still saw what Magnum mentioned, nor did they perceive an abnormal spiritual imprint in the space near the corridor.

"Nothing was found ..." Archbishop Samler said in a low voice.

"Whether it's discovered or not, stay alert, detection spells are not a panacea-there are too many things that mortals can't see in this world," Yuri reminded, and then looked at Magnum, "You pay attention Look around, something ... maybe only you can see. "

Magnum froze, looking at Yuri's solemn eyes, he understood the other party's meaning.

He had accidentally stared at the upper narrator without protection.

Perhaps some irreversible damage had been left in his soul.

The entire team did not diminish their vigilance and began to return to the central area of ​​the palace.

Behind them, in the long and distant corridor, a vague, almost transparent ghost image flashed again.

It was a spider's arthropod that penetrated walls and roofs, and moved quickly, as if a huge, transparent spider was walking between stones and dirt deep in the ground, weaving invisible cobwebs general.

Magnum and Yuri followed the team led by Semler and finally arrived safely in the central area of ​​the palace. They were also the control center and the largest computing center of the No. 1 sandbox.

This is the most important and core area of ​​the entire Hibernation Headquarters. It is a place where priority must be given to guarding under any circumstances, and it must never be breached.

Relying on the strong barriers and relatively wide interior spaces here, Archbishop Samler has constructed several lines of defense and has urgently formed a "bishop's battle group" composed of leftover archbishops and bishops to guard it. The polluted priests have been concentrated here, and several other teams consisting of spirit knights and combat priests are operating in other areas of the palace. While continuing to suppress those polluted by the upper narrators, they are looking for them. Are there still compatriots who stay awake.

In the large and sturdy hall, there was a tense state of war.

Armed spirit knights guard all the entrances and exits of the hall. Barriers have been placed in the outer corridor and several sturdy rooms connecting the corridors. Combat priests wearing battle robes and light metal armor are standing behind a barrier. , And monitor the mental state of their personnel at any time.

Inside this tightly guarded hall, around the large stone pillars in the central area, the technical priests responsible for controlling the sandbox system and the mental network are connected with nerve cords in their heads, sitting neatly on the control seat, and still maintaining Normal operation of the system.

They have exerted strong psychological hints for themselves before the connection. Even if the hall is breached and the sword has reached their throats, these technical priests will maintain the system to the last moment.

Yuri noticed that there were still traces of fighting in the outer corridor, and some corner of the hall was lying with some technical priests who seemed to have lost consciousness.

He and Magnum have been active in the sandbox world for one day and one night, and the outside time should have passed only two hours, but in these short two hours, so many things have happened in the real world.

Pollution and riots in the underground palace ... maybe even more dangerous than what Semler described.

Before Magnum entered the hall, he first carefully observed the barricades and the configuration of the combatants in the hallway, and then took a look at the weapons and equipment placed against the wall in the hall and the state of the reserve team, and finally a little bit to Semler Head: "Not bad."

As a former War God priest, he can see that the emergency fortifications here have been directed by professionals.

"Several priests were once soldiers. I temporarily elevated their command. Without them, the situation would be even worse," said Semler. "Before I set out to confirm your situation, we There was also a wave of counterattacks, and the polluted spirit knight almost broke through the hall defense ... It was not a pleasant thing to raise a knife to fellow citizens. "

"Professional matters are given to professional people. Your decision is correct. As for raising your sword to fellow citizens ..." Magnum shook his head. "This mess, let's pay it back slowly after we all survive."

"Archbishop Yuri, Archbishop Magnum, I'm glad to see you appearing safely."

A gentle and magnetic voice came, and a gentle female temperament dressed in a long white dress came out of the hall.

"Arch Wendy," Yuri first noticed the women who came out, "I heard it was you ... are these blood ?!"

He looked at the leader of the psionic choir in surprise, and saw that the white gauze dress was stained by blood at the moment, the dazzling dark red was soaked in the fabric, and it was on the chest and skirt of the dress Depicted as a complex and curved rune, it looks weird and mysterious.

But after taking a closer look at those runes, the tension in Archbishop Yuri's heart quickly dissipated. He realized what those runes were--the gifts of wanderers outside the region, and the ability to fight the spiritual pollution of the "deep sea." Gift ".

Wendy smiled, his face was a little pale: "I want to come out to report, but I am worried that the pollution in my body will recur after leaving the room, leaving the runes 'on my body'-blood Is the only 'magic material' I can find below. "

She raised her wrist, exposing the wound on her arm. The wound had healed more than half under the effect of the healing spell, but the solidified blood stains remained, and there was time to wipe it.

It is helpless to describe runes with his own blood. There were originally many contaminated upper narrator believers in the containment area, but Wendy was very worried about the safety of the contaminated blood, so he had to use his own blood to Draw runes.

Looking at the "Soul Song" Wendy who was covered in blood and reporting, watching the battle trails in the hallway outside the hall, watching the barricades set in the underground palace, the priests and knights behind the barricades, Yuri sighed softly.

After sighing, you still have to look up—danger is far from over.
