Chapter 712 — Beiyila in the Dream
Blade of Dawn · Page 4 of 4
As an old schemer who had devoured the knowledge and memories of the Eternal Sleepers, could move freely through the Eternal Sleepers' psychic network, and had even personally participated in building the Eternal Sleepers' Insecurity System, the Piggyback Lab, and the Psychic Network Vulnerability Cluster, he was intimately familiar with these things.
"Eternal Sleeper technology," Gao Yang said, stepping forward to examine the two extinguished rune pillars. "...These should be auxiliary devices for projecting the user's spirit outward. Don't worry, they're completely scrapped. All the core runes have melted down. They can't be repaired."
Only then did Bard finally breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately after, he instinctively asked, "You... understand Eternal Sleeper technology?"
Gao Rong smiled. "A little. Just a little."
Bard froze for a moment, then quickly adjusted his expression and cautiously made himself as inconspicuous as possible.
He had stumbled upon "His Imperial Majesty's little secrets" again.
But Gao Yang did not mind, because as Daniel thoroughly mastered the security architecture of the Eternal Sleepers' psychic network, and as the various hidden hands, backdoors, and springboards he had originally set up in the psychic network grew day by day into a vast and complex "shadow network," he no longer worried as he once had about the Eternal Sleepers detecting this intrusion.
He had a whole array of methods to reconnect to the network, a whole array of methods to disguise himself and Daniel, and even a whole array of methods to create illusions—illusions of network security, illusions that the intrusion had been eliminated, illusions that there had never been an intrusion at all...
He had even set "Gao Yang Cecil," "Otherworld Wanderer," "Ansan Pioneer," and other such terms as hidden keywords. As long as anyone in the entire psychic network mentioned these keywords, he would know immediately, and before the information could be transmitted outward, he could determine whether he had been exposed, and thus take further action.
Of course, if possible, Gao Yang still hoped the Eternal Sleepers would never detect his intrusion. But from the mere "little secrets" Bard had encountered, he could not yet deduce the connection between Gao Yang and the Eternal Sleepers' psychic network. Moreover... even if Bard left here alive today, he would certainly be under strict surveillance for a long time to come.
With the Long Night cultists in the Southern Region essentially wiped out, a secret that could not be spoken aloud... would remain a secret forever.
Gao Yang turned his head and looked toward the room's exit.
"Now, let us continue the search."
This Eternal Sleeper device could amplify and project a person's dreams, but the device itself did not dream.
In this dark, profound place, there existed... people who could dream.
Judging from the scenes Bard had witnessed in the dream, the condition of these dreamers was likely not good—most of them had probably even lost the ability to control their own minds and bodies.
That made things somewhat easier to handle.
