Looking around at the so-called Ninth Purification Zone, the people whose minds had gradually cooled down could easily judge their current location.

"Are we in space? Is this a space station?"

From the gap between each of the urban areas, you can clearly glimpse the starry sky in the distance and the nearby green planet.

With this unchanging color, this planet must be where they were before!

"The general direction is correct. Roy led them down the empty streets, "but not the space station." The purification zone does not exist in the physical reality, but in a selected space point in low earth orbit and expands into the enclosed space in which we are now. ”

Therefore, even if Area 9 is fully open, it does not have all the hypoxic and weightless environments that space should have.

It's a sanctuary that they've created to be independent of space.

This is the only way to avoid being invaded by those pan-spirits.

"High-tech......" someone sighed softly.

Everything around is like a scene that only appears in a science fiction movie.

Obviously with such technical strength, why do you want to cower in such a place?

The creatures on the ground looked terrifying, and they were essentially just brainless beasts. It's not hard for humans to find a way to strike, right?

The only problem is that kind of singing......

Is there really no way around it?

All of them let their thoughts wander in the unknown, and cautiously raised a doubt or two.

"Why don't you see anyone else?"

Yes, they have been in here for so long and have not seen a few humans.

Countless high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, giving people the same feeling as walking through a dense forest - only it is even colder here, and it belongs to the coldness of technology.

The square, rigid geometry makes up everything in view, and the light that is as bright as day but does not have a trace of temperature hits down from the central pillar in the sky, casting overlapping blocks of shadows.

The flickering neon still makes its presence visible on the superstructure, and the holographic projections, which run automatically according to the program, weave between the curtain walls.

Light and shadow intertwined.

No man's deep space.

And they are walking "alone" in the vast and silent civilization forest, the cold light is falling high, but on the way it has been blocked by the buildings, leaving only the thin light that can barely illuminate the road ahead.

Even if there are many people of the same kind around, it will not bring much security to everyone.

It's too cold.

Too heavy.

Too dark.

Even if you are in the depths of the city, it is like walking alone at the end of the wasteland.

But the heavens always had a feeling that they were being watched by someone, and he glanced at Duan Keyu beside him, and saw the same guess in his eyes.

Uraya was on the other end of the crowd, and it was unclear if she had noticed anything as well.

Roy glanced back at them meaninglessly, "There are people, but none of them will be outside at this time." ”

"Because of us?" Urya speculated.

"You, there are other visitors from the other world who may exist. Roy suddenly turned around and stopped, and his face that had not fluctuated from beginning to end also revealed a bit of seriousness.

The specific manifestation is that everyone involuntarily stops, stands still about ten meters away from him, and then looks left and right and doesn't know what to do.

The feeling of being watched is even stronger.

It was as if countless eyes were moving unscrupulously over them, with obvious inquiry and vigilance.

The heavens were a little agitated, his keen senses allowing him to clearly feel the gazes that were glued to him, but there was no way to discover their source, let alone block or remove them.

- The other party should be a human from the Ninth District.

- What a damn unfriendly to them!

"Calm down, you're about to blow up. Duan Keyu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "But they are indeed too cautious......

Cautious enough to test any outsider, even their seemingly non-threatening weak chicken humans, a few rounds before daring to make substantive contact.

But...... To be able to develop such a habit, what have the human beings of this world experienced?

The long silence was finally coming to an end, and before anyone could bear to break the stagnation, the temptation of the Ninth District came to its final stage.

A white curtain of light descended from the sky, and the lower end sank into the ground, sliding towards the crowd at a speed that looked slow and practically impossible to dodge.

"W-What?"

The sudden change is instinctively startled, but it is not so much the fear of the light curtain as the fact that the eyes are unable to bear this luminosity for a while after adjusting to the dark tones.

It's visually devastating!

The heavens immediately decided to close their eyes, and it was not enough to block them with their hands—this brightness was no longer something that could be blocked by eyelids.

Other than that, I didn't feel any danger.

Is there any point in this test?

[The highlight check is completed, and no light chasers have been found.] Roy, you can open up information to them further. 】

[I know. 】

Roy responded to the Sector 9 Management Center, watching the light curtain disappear into the darkness, and before the sight of these people could return to normal levels, he began to reveal the world to them.

- Everything about the past and present of the world.

……

The threat of visitors from the other world can be said to be temporary, and there are no light chasers among those who enter the ninth district, but those outside ......

Since you have given up the opportunity to enter, then accept the cleanup.

It is impossible for any decontamination zone to allow humans who have not passed the "native test" to be exposed to the outside environment.

They've had enough of the lesson!

Who knows if they were human or not, and what they were before they became human!

What's more, they are just outsiders, even if all the losses are still within the scope of bearing.

Before they are "reduced", "animized", or "photofactorized", a lethal blow and destruction of the body to the point of losing at least 30% of its mass can prevent a new round of disasters to the greatest extent.

This is the experience that people in this world have been able to survive until now and have practiced countless times.

"Pay attention to the behavior of these people and evaluate them in accordance with the procedure. ”

"But- District Chief, is Site-12's contamination aside?"

“…… The light pollution there has entered the third stage, and it is not something we can stop. ”

"But there's still people alive at Site-12! they're not all contaminated yet!"

"It's been an hour since you got the news, and none of us know what's going on there. I know better than you all what it means to lose a human unit at this time. But we ...... I've sent a message to District 1, I hope it helps. ”

"I remember that when the pollution reached the third stage, there was no means to curb it in the first district...... We had no choice but to abandon Site 12. ”

"Now that Site 12 has been isolated, space banishment can be carried out at any time, District Chief, do you need to set the banishment time in advance?"

Those who are standing here, no, it should be said that those who are still living in this world with a clear consciousness, understand what "light pollution" is.

Life restoration, soul dialysis, light pollution...... Three disasters in a row have brought about the destruction of this civilization, which was originally in the stage of peaceful development.

The most devastating thing is that all three disasters essentially started by the same object, and the effects did not interfere with each other.

That's right, it's Ultramarine's song "The True Name of Life"!

It is estimated that even the creator himself did not expect that this song was not powerful, and the origin of human civilization in this world itself can be called legendary, which led to a series of events later.

Born in this world at the same time, he played a three-point apocalyptic ending of life alienation, animistic fusion, and divine disaster.

A chain reaction at the textbook level.

So, it's a miracle that people here can survive.

[Bright pollution in District 9 will be next......

1. Quickly enter the final stage and break through the blockade

2. It was temporarily contained after the dispatch of personnel from the First District

3. There is a "two-five boy" in the control center - illegal operations due to selfishness

4. Containment failed, and was forced to perform spatial banishment on Site-12.
