There are some things that can only be known more truly when you see them with your own eyes.

It's night.

A thick black fog enveloped the twenty-third city, and dim streetlights barely illuminated the city's streets.

Edward held a cane with divine power, changed into a black tuxedo and a gentleman's hat, and became a handsome and dashing little gentleman.

Cynthia walked half of Edward's body, she was still wearing an ordinary plain dress, but because with Edward's help, Cynthia, who had the aura of an extraordinary person on her body, looked a little mysterious and noble, and was promoted to a god, no matter how much Edward covered it up, the ordinary plain dress still couldn't hide Cynthia's nobility.

Edward and Cynthia walked one after the other on the empty street.

As time passed, the street lamps that brought some light to the dark city on both sides of Edward and Cynthia gradually thinned, and the originally neat ground made of stones of the same length became a gravel road at some point, and finally became a slightly muddy dirt road - the twenty-third city, which had rained shortly before Edward and the others came.

To the west of the twenty-third city, here is the slum.

Slums, refugee camps, this kind of existence is very common in the cities of Shenlu, because from time to time people will flee from the city to the twenty-third city, and the slums in the west of the city are specially provided for these people.

Not everyone in the twenty-third city can have a relatively good living conditions, and in today's difficult access to resources, the twenty-third city certainly has slums.

However, because the number of people in a city is limited, the total population of slums is also regulated, so even slums are in short supply.

Whenever the gates of the twenty-third city were opened in the morning, there would always be hundreds of wanderers in the wilderness waiting outside the gates, praying for the three or five places.

And there is also a requirement for the gathering of this prayer quota, from the opening of the door to the collection of people, the total time cannot exceed an hour, after an hour, those who are not selected will be driven away - by the city guards with muskets, and those who walk slowly will be shot to death!

In other words, if you are slow, sick, or old, the possibility of getting a place is very slim!

The competition for slum places follows the law of the law of survival of the fittest.

However, even with such harsh requirements, only three or five places are vacant in the slums every day.

It's only in the "big picture" that there is a chance to vacate hundreds of thousands of places, and that's the carnival moment for the wanderers in the wilderness – yes, ironically, while some people are ecstatic, but the places are vacated because of death, and the slum places are because people die every day in the slums, and the reasons may be varied.

It is because of all kinds of deaths that those who come after have the opportunity to enter the slums.

And this is only because the city is much safer than the wild, even if the slum street lights are scarce and the night vigil is sparse, it is still tens, hundreds of times safer than the wild!

Once the number of people exceeds five, because of the gathering of intelligent life caused by the excessive number of people, the light of life gathers, and the monsters in the wild can easily capture these people, and death will naturally come.

In the wild, most of them are loners, who endure loneliness and bear dangers, hiding under the hunt of black fog monsters.

The slums are dangerous, but only three or five people die every day in the slums of 10,000 people, which is quite "safe" for wanderers in the wild, where they can at least get a good night's sleep, and every morning there is a bowl of black bread soup with a little lard floating in it!

Edward waved his hand, and the fresh wind of purification blew away, blowing away the black fog dozens of meters in front of Edward and Cynthia, and a corner of the slum was imprinted into Edward's vision.

Low houses made of wooden planks, inconspicuous tents propped up of dirty tarpaulin, irregular simple stone houses...... In the interior of these barely living houses lived one or two people, who hid and curled up in a corner of the room, sleeping and trembling slightly......

In the face of the black fog, Edward frowned, with the naked eye alone, even his vision was not very clear, unlike illusion and ordinary fog, the black fog was a little special, that is, the special black fog could even obscure Edward's vision a little, Edward became more and more convinced that the anomaly of the divine land came from the deep space evil god.

Edward is the archbishop of the Fiogana Star District, and his essence has a super high rank, so he has not reached a certain level of rank, and ordinary obstacles cannot cover Edward's eyes at all, and only the existence of the rank of the Deep Space Evil God can have a certain impact on Edward.

Edward waved his hand again, and the air pierced through Edward's purifying wind.

Edward sniffed slightly, the stench of the sewers, the stench of the air, and the stench of corruption mixed together, causing Edward to frown.

However, Edward did not purify the air, he was searching, looking for danger in the black fog.

In the black fog, Edward's perception was slightly disturbed, so Edward used the most primitive method, but fortunately, because it was special enough, Edward's sense of smell was amazing.

Soon, Edward smelled a familiar smell that came from afar, the peculiar stench of the black mist monster.

Edward looked back at Cynthia, and naturally stretched out a hand to hold Cynthia, and then Edward ran straight up.

Cynthia's system was strengthened by the promotion of gods, and with this and Edward's guidance, Cynthia barely kept up with Edward.

The wind whistled in his ears, and a thick black fog obscured the front.

Over forty breaths, Edward's perception captured a man's ultimate fear of dying, and then the fear abruptly stopped, and the breath of life vanished.

Edward's pupils shrank slightly, and instead of stopping, he rushed towards the place where his life disappeared at a faster speed.

Moments later, a low stone house with a broken wooden door came into Edward's view, and Edward looked inside, only to see a snow-white humanoid crouching in a corner of the stone, viscous blood flowing slowly from its feet.

Monsters are eating!

It's eating people.

Through perception, Edward "saw" the miserable state of the person under the monster, with a terrified expression on his face, his chest and stomach were torn open, his heart had disappeared, and the monster kept grabbing the long intestines, and put them in his mouth one by one, eating with relish.

At this moment, Edward heard footsteps, and footsteps came from behind Edward and the others.

Looking back, I saw a grave keeper wearing a black robe and carrying a shovel walking quickly out of the black fog.

Seeing Edward and the two, the grave keeper was slightly stunned, then nodded lightly and immediately set his eyes on the "murder scene".
