Chapter 762： Phantom town (2/2)

After reminding them, the sleepers raised their vigilance and began to gradually explore this weird "phantom town".

They first checked the empty streets and confirmed that at least there were no signs of activity around them. Then they confirmed the topographic structure near the streets and roughly grasped the surrounding environment and the distribution of several major entrances.

Throughout this process, Gao Wen has been following them unhurriedly, listening to their conversations, or following them to record maps and check the abandonment of facilities such as wells and street lights.

After completing a preliminary survey of the surrounding environment and confirming that there were no risk factors, the attention of the team of permanent sleepers naturally turned to the houses on both sides of the road.

In this abandoned town, the doors and windows of all the houses are tightly closed. There is no light or sound in the windows. The heavy curtains or criss-crossed wooden boards block the outside sight from peeping into the house. Instead, there is some kind of temptation, even if people feel strange and dangerous, they can't help but want to take a look inside the house.

The Everlasting Team has always treated this town with the utmost caution, so they first checked the street for danger, but no matter what, in order to complete the investigation task, they will sooner or later check the closed houses.

The three senior clergymen wearing owl masks came to a closed door. Before they tried to open the door, Selina Gulfen first took pictures with a lantern in her hand and checked for possible abnormal data. Or a malicious hidden mind, then nodded: "Open the door."

One of the masked priests pushed down the door, but the seemingly weak wooden door remained motionless.

They started to check the locks on the door to see if something was stuck on the wooden door.

Gao Wen came near them, and came to the side of the cottage facing the street. The window was nailed with crisscross wooden boards. There were wide gaps between the boards, and Gao Wen's sight passed through those gaps. Landed inside the house.

It was dark inside, and only the outlines of some furniture utensils could be seen dimly. Everything seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of black gauze.

A crunching noise came from the direction of the doorway, and Gao Wen turned his head to see that the three sleepless priests wearing owl masks had successfully opened the closed wooden door, and a bright light appeared in one of them. The ball and the other two blessed mental spells. The three guarded each other carefully and stepped into the hut carefully.

This is the world projected by the mental network. Everything here is the result of mental simulation. Conventional spells in the real world basically have no effect here. Only the power of the mind can work, and the three eternal sleepmasters use it. Spells such as lighting and mental protection should be a simulated "special effect" to generate stronger spiritual guidance and hints to prevent the caster from losing himself in the network.

Gao Wen's heart was spinning with many rules for acting in the spiritual world, and while walking, he followed the three priests and entered the cabin.

The light ball of illumination emits a pale light, which illuminates the furnishings in the house, but the light seems to be disturbed and suppressed by unknown forces, allowing it to spread only a few meters away and only illuminate the nearby ones. Things, and everything in the depths of the room, in every corner, is still shrouded in shadow like a thick veil.

Gao Wen stared at the shadows, only to feel that those shadows were empty, as if the unlit areas were not only dark, but the real nothing existed. He even made some associations for no reason. When the earth steps into those darkness in the absence of light, it will fall directly into nothingness, and the mind will be annihilated in the hollow of the network.

The three priests responsible for exploring the house apparently realized the weirdness of the shadowed areas. They carefully maintained their actions within the range of illumination, and none of them approached the darkness.

"There is no dust ... but there is an atmosphere that has been abandoned for many years ..." One of the clergymen brushed his finger across the square table in the center of the room, and a low voice came from under the owl mask. "It seems to be a phenomenon of 'emotional resonance'."

"It's possible," said another clergyman, and nodded. "Here is a force that affects people's thoughts, creating an 'atmosphere' that has been abandoned for many years."

The third priest inspected several other places: "Furniture is placed in the place of daily use, there is still water in the water bottle, and the flowers inserted on the wooden pillars have not withered. It seems that the people living here only suddenly go away……"

"This should be the data leaked from the sandbox number one, which is a projection of a town in the sandbox. Judging from the state that the projection has not been distorted, most of it is the situation inside the sandbox number one," The clergyman said lowly, "In the sandbox number one ... is this the scene now?"

"At least one town is this sight."

Gao Wen followed the three priests and followed them to check the situation in the cabin, but found no clues worthy of attention, then turned away from the room and returned to the street where Selena and others were.

While the three priests inspected the house, the three archbishops staying outside were not doing nothing. On the one hand, they maintained the spiritual protection of the area to prevent malicious minds hidden in the town from attacking the priests who entered the house. On the one hand, it monitors the movements of the town and pays attention to whether the town has synchronized what changes have taken place after the three priests entered the house. A similar "joint reaction" must be considered.

Gao Wen heard Selena Gulfen talking to Daniel.

"... This town is not in the 'blueprint' of the sandbox number one," said the woman who raised the lantern lightly. "Also in the follow-up blueprint of the performance, the history that evolved after the sandbox number one went out of control created this small town."

Daniel asked: "Are there any other similar 'self-evolution products'?"

"Yes," Selena nodded. "We have observed a mysterious plain, several broken streets, and a mountain from nowhere. The mountain floats above the city of dreams, if not the pope's crown. Anomaly was detected in advance, and the blockade was conducted in time. I am afraid it will be directly exposed to the ordinary church members. "

Daniel was a little curious: "... these overflows all seem to be around the dream city, but at the most, it only affects the fringe neighborhoods and does not directly erode the central area of ​​the dream city?"

"Yes, the city of dreams is tightly guarded and not so easy to invade."

Daniel and Govin standing next to Selena showed thoughtful expressions at the same time.

Just then, a melodious and mysterious bell rang suddenly in the town!
