Mental pollution is mutual.

At least this is true in Gao Wen's opinion.

According to the experimental reference provided by the Eternal Sleeper and the technical information left by the disobedient, Gao Wen can now almost determine that the birth process of the gods is related to the faith of mortals, or to be more precise, the collective thoughts of mortals are projected into a certain dimension deep in the world, thus giving birth to gods. If this model is established, then the process of dealing with gods face to face is actually a process of losing sans - that is, mutual pollution.

The knowledge of the gods will pollute any mind that establishes connection with it without hindrance (at least Gowen does not know how to block this connection yet). In turn, those minds that establish connection with God must also have a reverse impact, but it is obvious that the mind of ordinary people cannot be compared with the mind of God at all, so this process of losing san becomes a unilateral erosion.

But what if there is a mind that is not influenced by the knowledge of the gods and has a huge memory bank to "connect" with the gods?

The upper narrator, like a mountain, cracked open, and his torso slowly fell down. His remaining power was still trying to maintain himself, but this remaining power also quickly dissipated with the divine patterns. Gao Wen stood quietly, watching all this while constantly suppressing and eliminating the erosion and pollution he suffered.

He was seriously eroded, much more severe than it seemed. This time he was no longer facing the flesh and blood of the gods sealed in the crystal block, nor was he a false god sewing corpse made with biochemical technology. The upper narrator is a real, complete, living god. Even if it is very weak, he has a special person. It is a very risky move to fight for pollution.

But this is the only way Gao Wen can think of.

The sword cannot kill the upper narrator. No matter how high the combat skills are, they cannot fight against the nightmare itself. To destroy the invisible and qualitative gods, they can only use the same invisible and qualitative power. In the previous battle, he used the long sword to fight Duvalt, which was just a guise made by both sides to cover up their own mental pollution.

Gao Wen looked down at his hands and found that his arms had gradually returned to human form, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The upper narrator is a young and inexperienced god, which is Gao Wen’s only advantage. If it is the gods in the real world who have existed for countless years, don’t do such a risky thing anymore.

Deep in the darkness, beside the spider web, the bird cage with unknown material disintegrated silently. Selena felt that the invisible influence of suppressing her own power had begun to dissipate. She quickly came to Gaowen without even having to check her own situation. She watched the other party gradually recover her human posture, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's all over?" She looked at Gao Wen, then looked at the fallen upper narrator, and asked in disbelief.

Gao Wen did not answer for a moment, but stared at the huge spider crawling in the center of the spider web. He was also asking himself - is it really over? That's it?

A trace of doubt came to my heart with alertness, and Gao Wen's face suddenly became serious: "Wait, I'm afraid there isn't yet!"

He stared at the spider god who looked like he had lost his breath, and spoke quickly: "Duvalt said that he was the 'human nature' of the upper narrator... Where is the corresponding 'divine nature'?! Also, before we saw that the upper narrator was protecting some 'cocoons' - what about those cocoons?!"

Selena also suddenly reacted, as if some of the blocked consciousness had been affected in her mind before, and suddenly began to operate, making her realize the key point that she had ignored: "That girl named Naritiel?!"

...

Deep in the underground palace of the Eternal Sleeper, in the corridor leading to the central area, the voice of Archbishop Semler echoed in the long corridor:

"A short time after the operation began, the situation broke out. First, the containment area was contaminated, and then other areas. Many originally completely normal priests suddenly became believers of the upper narrators - we had to face everyone with the highest vigilance..."

"It can be understood," Magnan said in a rough voice, "the upper narrator... this thing is really evil. I just looked at Him in the sandbox and almost couldn't come back! Fortunately, I have found a way to quickly identify polluters..."

"Don't mention your 'methods' again," Yuri interrupted the other party with an unbearable expression of memory. "I have never said such a vulgar word for decades. I now very doubt that you left the Church of God of War not because you privately studied heretic scriptures, but because of your vulgar words and deeds!"

Magnum stared at me: "What's wrong with this charge they gave me?"

Semler's gloomy and serious face was a little darker than before. He ignored the conversation coming from behind, just tightened his face and continued to move forward.

Yuri sighed, stopping her speaking.

Magnan found that no one responded to him, shrugged indifferently, and walked hard, walking in the middle of the team.

The deep and long corridor seemed to have no end, extending all the way to the central area of ​​the underground palace. The light of the magic crystal stone lamp shone on the helmets of the spirit knights beside it, shining with bright light.

A faint translucent phantom suddenly passed through the corner of his eyes, causing Magnan's steps to subconsciously stop.

It seemed to be part of some huge arthropod, transparent and almost invisible, penetrated the nearby walls and ceilings, flashed by the boundary of Magnum's sight, and quickly retracted into the wall.

"Article Magnan?" Yuri noticed that Magnan suddenly stopped, and with a serious expression on his face, he immediately stopped, "What's going on?"

"Yuri, I just saw something flashing over," Magnan said in a serious tone, "like some kind of limb...spider."

Semler immediately frowned and looked around, confirmed his memory just now, and shook his head: "I saw nothing."

Everyone shook their heads, as if only Magnan saw the flash of shadow.

Illusion? Misread? Vision caused by mental confusion and excessive tension?

Several thoughts appeared in the minds of the priests at the scene for less than a second and were directly eliminated. Yuri raised his hand directly, and the invisible magic summoned a tangible rune, and a halo like water waves spread to the entire corridor - "Mental Detection!"

Other priests and spirit knights also acted on their own. Some activated protective spells, some began to scan for unknown spiritual marks nearby, and some raised their weapons to form formations to protect the relatively fragile priests in the center of the team.

The eternal sleeper never says "wrong" or believes in the so-called "illusion of tension".

They are experts in the dream field, explorers of the spiritual world, and are already on the dangerous path of confrontation with God. Beware that almost neuroticism is the professional habit of every sleeper. Someone in the team said that he had seen an abnormal scene? Whether it is true or not, throw twenty mental detections first!

However, after all the detection spells were activated, no one saw what Magnan mentioned, nor did he sense an abnormal spiritual mark in the space near the corridor.

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

"Whether you find it or not, keep your highest vigilance. Detection spells are not omnipotent - there are too many things in this world that mortals cannot see," Yuri reminded, then looked at Magnan, "You should pay attention to the surroundings, and there are some things... maybe only you can see."

Magnan was stunned for a moment, looking at Yuri's serious eyes, he understood what the other party meant.

He once accidentally looked at the upper narrator without any protection.

Perhaps some irreversible damage has remained deep in his soul.

The entire team did not weaken their vigilance at all and began to return to the central area of ​​the underground palace.

And behind them, in the distance of the deep and long corridor, a blurry, almost transparent phantom flashed by again.

It was a spider's arthropod, which penetrated the walls and roofs, and moved rapidly, as if an extremely large transparent spider was walking between the stone and soil deep in the ground, weaving an invisible spider web.

Magnum and Yuri followed the team led by Semmer and finally arrived safely at the central area of ​​the underground palace, and were also the control center of the No. 1 sandbox and the largest computing center.

This is the most important and core area of ​​the entire Eternal Midnight Headquarters. It is a place where priority is required under any circumstances and will never be allowed to be breached.

Relying on the strong barriers and relatively wide internal space, Archbishop Semmer built several lines of defense and urgently formed a "bishop group" composed of left-behind archbishops and bishops to guard the place. At present, all the priests who were determined to be safe and uncontaminated have been concentrated here, and several other teams of spirit knights and combat priests are moving in other areas of the underground palace, continuing to suppress those people polluted by the upper narrators everywhere, while looking for whether there are still compatriots who are still awake.

In the huge and solid hall, there was a tense state of war.

The fully armed spirit knights guarded all the entrances and exits of the hall, and had already set up obstacles in the external corridor and several solid rooms connecting the corridor. The combat priests wearing combat robes and light metal armor were waiting behind the barriers, and were monitoring the mental state of their own 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 spiritual network are connected with nerve cables behind their heads, sitting neatly on the control seat, and still maintaining the normal operation of the system.

Before they connected, they had already imposed powerful psychological hints on themselves. Even if the hall was broken and the sword had hit their throats, these technical priests would maintain the system until the last moment.

Yuri noticed that there were still traces of battle in the corridor outside, and some technical priests who seemed to have lost consciousness were lying in a corner of the hall.

He and Magnan have been active in the sandbox world for a day and a night, and only two hours outside have passed, but in just two hours, so many things have happened in the real world.

The pollution and commotion that occurred in the underground palace... I am afraid it is more dangerous than what Semler described.

Before Magnan walked into the hall, he first carefully observed the barricades and the configuration of combatants in the corridor, then looked at the weapons and equipment placed against the wall in the hall and the status of the reserve team, and finally nodded to Semler: "It's not bad."

As a former priest of the God of War, he could see that the emergency fortifications here were guided by professionals.

"There were several priests who were once soldiers. I temporarily raised their command. If they were not for them, the situation would have been worse," said Semmer in a deep voice. "Just before I set out to confirm your situation, we were faced with a wave of counterattacks. The contaminated spirit knights almost broke through the hall defense line... It is not a pleasant thing to raise a knife to the compatriots."

"Leave professional matters to professionals, your decision is very correct. As for raising a knife to your compatriots..." Magnan shook his head, "This mess will be paid slowly after we all survive."

"Article Yuri, Archbishop Magnan, I'm glad to see you appear safely."

With a gentle and magnetic voice coming, a female priest wearing a long white dress and gentle temperament walked out from the depths of the hall.

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

He looked at the leader of the psychic choir in front of him in surprise, and saw that the other party's long white gauze dress was now stained with blood, and the dazzling dark red was soaked in the fabric. The chest of the skirt and the hem of the skirt were depicted as complex and curved runes, which looked strange and mysterious.

But after taking a look at the runes, the tension in Archbishop Yuri's heart quickly dissipated. He realized what those runes were - a gift from the wanderers outside the territory, and a "deep sea gift" that can fight against the spiritual pollution of the gods.

Wendy smiled, her face pale a little: "I want to come out to report the news, but I am worried that after leaving the room, the pollution in my body will recur again, so I had to 'carry the runes on my body' - blood, the only 'demonic material' I can find below."

She raised her wrist to reveal the wound on her arm. The wound had healed most of the time under the action of a healing spell, but the solidified blood was still left and there was no time to wipe it.

It was helpless to use his own blood to describe runes. There were originally many contaminated upper narrative believers in the shelter area, but Wendy was worried about whether the contaminated blood was safe, so she had to use his own blood to describe runes.

Looking at the "spirit song" Wendy, who was covered in blood and came out to report the news, looking at the battle traces in the corridor outside the hall, looking at the roadblocks set up in the underground palace, the priests and knights behind the roadblocks, Yuri sighed softly.
