After finishing the meeting with Daniel, Gawain didn't immediately log out of the network but instead left the virtual space and returned to the conscious flat layer of the mind network.
This layer is also referred to by him as the "visible zone" — opposite to the visible zone are the layers deeper in the network that wouldn't be noticed by ordinary visitors.
His virtual space was created by manipulating those data link layers.
"Massive computing resources with unclear destinations..." Walking down the streets in Dream City Center, Gawain muttered softly to himself, "The mind network is built on active nodes and doesn't need fixed 'servers' like 'Brain Servants'..."
He looked up, seeing the Eternal Sleepers walking past him. Those figures in front of him appeared as living computing nodes, and after completing his missing knowledge, his understanding of the network deepened, gaining more insights into these evil cult followers active in the network.
