The safe zone of the city of darkness is a city within a city, right in the middle of the city, with a circle of three-meter-high low walls enclosing a large area of buildings, Ye Fang glanced at it, and roughly estimated that this safe zone is at least a hundred thousand square meters.

"Can such a low wall withstand those monsters?" It was a girl who spoke, her name was Chu Qingqing, her face was pale, and she felt that this safe zone under the jurisdiction of Tianli was not safe at all.

Unfortunately, she didn't get any response other than the worried eyes of other students.

Wang Li's ten "natives" were extremely silent, and they never spoke again except for the first time when they reported to their homes.

Ye Fang knew that it was not the wall that guaranteed the safety of the security zone, but the so-called "god".

It doesn't make sense to be tall or short.

From the moment they saw the wall, the number of people they saw became more and more, and many people cut down trees along the river and picked purple and black strange grass on the ground, but they were careful not to go too far outside the wall.

They seem to be following some sort of rule, only moving around the safe zone, and never stepping into the rest of Night City unless they have to.

And when you get into the safe zone, there are even more people.

They were all natives of the Paradise, men and women, old and young, yellow and white, and in this safe zone, shops were open, and the streets and houses were full of traces of human life.

The overall style here is similar to Shanghai in the last century, where people of different colors and cultures gather, but the level of technology and culture are far inferior to the Norton Empire where Sophia lives.

It's more like a survivor base in the apocalypse.

Noticing the outsiders, many of the "natives" of these paradises stopped and cast a slightly cold gaze at Ye Fang and them.

There was some scrutiny and vigilance in the air.

A natural sense of distance.

Just by their attire and temperament, you can tell that they are invitees.

Ye Fang felt that there was a glimmer of chill quietly fearing his back, perhaps it was the adventurer's natural perception, and he felt some extremely imperceptible hostility in these scrutinizing eyes.

However, the procession of the Celestial Council seemed to be quite respected, and the people on the road avoided it with strange religious rituals, and they were not hindered, and soon came to the so-called Celestial Church.

It was a tall complex in the middle of the entire security zone, and unlike the chaotic architecture around it, the church was made of huge rock, majestic and majestic, but with a hint of cold and solemnity.

When they got here, Wang Li and the others no longer led the way: "Go in, the bishop is waiting for you." ”

Ye Fang, the nineteen of them, went all the way into the main hall.

The church was bright and tall, but it was empty, except for two people at the top.

A priest in his forties with a white face and a black robe.

The other was a gray-haired, rickety old man, dressed very casually, just a wide white robe.

And behind these two men are the statues of gods.

The moment he saw that statue, Ye Fang's pupils contracted, and Wei Yuanwu almost screamed.

Because the god they had seen before, humanoid with four hands, colorful, and funny, exactly the same pendant they had found on the vampire before.

And this statue is even more huge, about 19 meters high, the facial features are vividly outlined, and the slightly squinted eyes seem to be looking at everyone playfully, as if they are alive.

Many people have changed color, so Wei Yuanwu's exaggerated expression is not so conspicuous.

And at this time, the old man said slowly in an old voice: "Don't look directly at God. ”

This sound was not loud but very majestic, and coupled with the throbbing brought by the statue, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at it again.

Ye Fang's heart was beating wildly, and as an "adventurer", he felt even more obvious.

And this is just a statue of a god.

Seeing that everyone bowed their heads, the old man smiled slowly and said kindly: "This is the god served by the Night City: the head of the seven gods, the god of drama, and it is because of him that he has the shelter here.

"You don't have to be afraid, and you don't need to be alarmed. Invitees, please sit down. I am Qi Yongning, the bishop of the Heavenly Council of the Night City, and this one next to me is Father Landall. We have no ill intentions, on the contrary, we want to help you live and settle here, because you are not the first to be invited to this church in Night City.

"If I were strong enough, I might be able to help you when you arrive, but alas, I can only discover your presence when you are close to the safe zone, and I am deeply sorry for that. And, because of my old age, although I would like to answer all the doubts you have in your mind, I am not in a position to guide you to take root in this world as is customary, so this time, Father Randall will guide you. ”

With that, the elderly bishop went to the back with the help of Father Randall.

After about ten minutes, the priest returned to the church alone, looked at the impatient crowd that had been waiting for a long time, and said in a relatively calm tone: "Everyone, please be calm, you are not the first to be invited, and I know what your doubts are. I ......"

Before the priest could finish his words, a boy couldn't help but ask aloud, "What the hell is going on?" Did you get us here? And where are the previous invitees? How can we get home? ”

His tone was not very good, Randall only glanced at him coldly, his eyes seemed to have natural pressure, just one glance, these students present were slightly shocked, and they didn't dare to speak casually.

Randall's gaze scanned the audience: "The Heavenly Council and the Seven Gods only guarantee the existence and order of the safe zone. We have set aside areas for the cultivation of special wheat and plants, and provided a means of communication for the people of each city, but every help is for the existence and stability of the safe zone, and it is not gratuitous. You can think of us as an independent organization with a certain ecclesiastical character.

"I hope you will understand that you have come here to have nothing to do with the Celestial Council, which has taken you in and is the Bishop, but I don't like you unbelievers who don't worship God, so I don't have time to answer all your questions, I will only tell you what you must know.

"First of all, I want you to understand that this world is no longer your world, and as for how to return to your own world, don't even think to ask me, because I don't know, no one in the Night City can answer your question, because this is just a poor country, there is neither strong nor knowledge, if you want to seek answers without fear of death, you can go to those real big cities to find answers.

"As for the other invitees, there are two groups of invitees who have been to Night City before you, but they have already gone to other cities, and none of them are still here, so you don't need to inquire about the whereabouts of the other invitees here. Moreover, at the moment your details are probably only known to me and Bishop Qi, if you want to go around preaching about you...... Oh, I don't have a problem with that, but I advise you not to do it. Living your duty is what you have to do.

"Secondly, where you are now, is the Safe Zone of the Heavenly Council of the Night City, the safe zone is the only pure land among the various calamities scattered throughout the Eastern Continent, and the monsters of the Night City can hardly invade here. However, I would like to solemnly state a few caveats, which are the rules of survival and the rules of the Safe Zone in Night City: First, never leave the Safe Zone during the dark of night.

"Second, don't go into any dark part of the city outside the safe zone, even during the day, and it's best not to live outside the safe zone for more than five days, and it's best to limit your activities to within two kilometres of the safe zone.

"Third, never leave the city on foot and go into the wilderness on your own. There are many such safe zones in the Eastern Continent, different scales, located in different places, some places are even absolutely safe, there are no calamities, and those places are more developed and have more opportunities to obtain power and money, however, if you want to go to other cities, every two months the Celestial Council will open a teleportation channel between cities, and you can travel to other cities in this way to trade and even settle.

"Fourth, never leave the room on a foggy night. Every three days, the city of darkness will be filled with fog and cover the whole city, and even the safe zone is no exception, at this time, even in the safe zone, you must not go out, and you must not respond to anything you see or hear.

"Fifth, don't think about being a savior, don't look for the source of the calamity of the Night City, don't ...... Look for death.

"Sixth, the Heavenly Council is only responsible for the existence of the safe zone and the most basic order, we do not guarantee the safety of everyone, only ensure that we will not shelter the most vicious people, if you believe in evil gods and we find out, you will be expelled immediately, but that's all, we will not take the initiative to hunt the monsters of the Night City, nor will we govern or deliberately take charge of the livelihood of the 30,000 people in the Night City security zone, let alone help, if you have any trouble, as long as you can afford the price, you can go and find it." The unveilers' to help you, or you can choose to be the unveilers.

"Seventh, it is better for you to believe in the Seven Gods, who will bless all the people of this land.

"Eighth, and this is the most important point: never snoop into the secrets of this world, I know that you have been indoctrinated with certain information as invitees, but I can tell you unequivocally that it is not all, not even all true, what you know is only what you can see, and there is something deeper in this world, buried in the deeper and deeper sea."

Speaking of this, the priest paused slightly, and said word by word: "If you want to snoop, then ......

"When you find them, they find you.

"When you 'see' them, they see you."
