How do ordinary people survive in a world where there are transcendent visions, where the land is blocked by endless seas, and where guardians and anomalies in city-states are engaged in endless warfare?

Duncan still lacks knowledge of the city-state, but at least where he sees, the ordinary people of this world still live in an environment of order and stability—

They work, they study, they rest, they run shops, they mingle, they go out on their days off, they go to the cinema and restaurants, they go to parks and ports, they visit museums, they gossip with their neighbors after dinner – they live a less than spectacular, but usually peaceful, life.

The steam-powered bus stopped and stopped, sometimes at the platform, sometimes at the side of the road, with passengers coming up and leaving at any time, and the silent driver would occasionally say a few words to the conductor, but most of the time he was concentrating on driving, and the young conductor looked up at the roof from time to time—she seemed to still be thinking about the pigeon.

Duncan sat in his seat, observing everything around him with curiosity, watching the lives of these ordinary people.

It seems that in addition to the need to understand the anomalies and anomalies that exist in the world, and to follow this knowledge as a kind of "safety code", the lives of these ordinary people are not much different from what he has seen on Earth.

As it approached the cross block, the bus stopped again, this time at the platform, where many passengers boarded.

Duncan looked curiously at the scenery on the platform, at the chimneys standing in the distance and at the steam pipes crisscrossing the buildings, but suddenly, he vaguely felt an unusual heat rise up near his chest.

The heat comes from the sun badge that he has hidden closely!

Duncan, who was enjoying the scenery, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the location where the badge was hidden, and the next second, he felt that the badge was not only hot, but also trembling slightly.

He didn't know what was happening, but it was clear that the badge was resonating with something nearby - he was unfamiliar with the source of that resonance through the connection he had made to the badge, and the next second, his eyes were locked on a figure outside the car window who was walking briskly through the crowd.

The figure was wearing a black coat and looked like an ordinary passerby, but the "sense of direction" from the sun badge was correctly pointed at the figure!

Duncan immediately got up from his seat and walked briskly in the direction of the door, and in the blink of his mind, the pigeon Ay also received instructions, flapped his wings and flew off the roof of the car and landed on his shoulder.

The conductor standing near the door watched in amazement, and only after Duncan got off the train did he mutter, "How did this pigeon train......"

But then this little episode of daily life receded from the attention of the conductor lady, who turned to look at the passengers who had just boarded the train: "Come here to buy tickets...... Children also have to buy tickets, no matter how you look at it, it's more than one meter...... Four-year-old? No matter how you look at it, it can't be a four-year-old, and if you cross the line, it's a full ticket! ”

At this moment, Duncan had already walked into the crowd, and he walked briskly through the crowded platforms and intersections, tracking the figure in the black coat.

The man in black walked very fast, and the dense flow of people on the side of the road in the afternoon made it easy for him to avoid the line of sight, in fact, it was only a few minutes before the figure was out of Duncan's field of vision.

However, the resonance of the Sun Badge remains, and the "sense of direction" that comes from the depths of the Badge is always pointing Duncan in the right direction.

Duncan thought quickly as he followed the Sun Emblem's guidance.

There was no doubt that the man in black was suspicious, and the badge must have sensed something before it suddenly reacted...... Perhaps, it is the perception of the same power from the "true sun god".

From the goat's head, he already knew that the badge had the function of identifying his fellow citizens and guiding the "blessing of the sun", but under normal circumstances only believers of the sun god could use these functions or perceive the guiding effect of the emblem.

Duncan had usurped control of the badge with the spirit fire, but at the time he thought his flames had destroyed most of the badge's abilities, but now it seems ...... The recognition ability of this badge is still there!

It's just that this ability to recognize is now used for itself......

Under the guidance of the badge, he gradually left the main road with many passers-by, and gradually walked into the deserted path after three detours.

He saw a suspicious figure again—a figure that was walking quickly across the intersection ahead, seemingly completely oblivious to the presence of a stalker behind him.

Faintly, Duncan felt the badge on his chest become a little hotter than before, and the resonance it transmitted became clearer and stronger.

Duncan quietly drove the spirit fire, reading the message from the sun emblem, and a large number of clearly directed "perceptions" immediately entered his mind.

It felt subtle—even though the Sun Badge didn't have the ability to think, Duncan could feel it excitedly and excitedly conveying a message to himself, telling himself where the other believers were.

He even wanted to remind the badge to be a little reserved - it was a sacred relic of the sun god not long ago, and at this time, the leader would not be as excited as a hand warmer.

At the same time, he became more and more sure that he was approaching a secret meeting place where many worshippers of the sun god gathered.

As he had predicted, more "solar heretics" were gathering in the dark corners of the city-state, and the group that had been wiped out in the sewers was just one of these cockroach-like cultists.

He didn't know what these cultists were trying to do, but he knew that they must know more about ancient history, the Sun Cult, and the Age of Order than Nina's teachers.

To understand the deeper secrets of this world, one needs to reach out to the forces of the otherworldly realm, which is difficult for the church and the city-state authorities to approach through normal means, but the cultists are much simpler—just mingle with them.

Or just mix them up.

Duncan was thinking about this when he suddenly stopped.

He had come to the end of a path, and the sneaky man in black had just slipped into a nearby intersection, and the signal from the Sun Emblem was clear and strong, and there was no passerby in sight.

Through the Sun Badge, he sensed that there were more "sibling signals" close to where he was.

Duncan silently pulled up the lapel of his coat, hiding half of his face in the collar - and almost the next second he heard footsteps appear in the shadows of nearby buildings.

One figure after another appeared.

It was a dozen men, dressed like ordinary citizens - after all, no cultist would walk around in a robe in broad daylight, just like a normal assassin should not wear a thief's conspicuous white hoodie to work on the streets.

Only the constant heat and directional signals from the Sun Emblem convinced him that one of these guys who came out of the surroundings counted as one, and they were all followers of the real Sun God.

Duncan looked up at the end of the road, and saw that the man in black who had been followed by him was also among them, and the other party was looking at him vigilantly, and beside him, a tall and thin young man whispered something to his companion before looking up.

"This is private territory, what are you sneaking up on?" The tall, thin man spoke, and he seemed to be trying to create a feeling that "these are all ordinary citizens, and you are sneaky and suspicious", because he did not know the details of Duncan as a tracker, so he neither rashly did it nor let his guard down.

Duncan muttered in his heart that he was really not suitable for such a professional job as a layman, and at the same time wondered what these cultists planned to do with their trackers if they pretended to be stupid—did they plan to pretend to be a group of dedicated underworld forces to scare themselves away, or did they plan to diligently develop the cult cause and tie themselves up to their sun god and add a meat meal?

"Didn't you hear?" The tall and thin man frowned, and said impatiently, and at the same time as his words fell, the surrounding figures took half a step forward silently, faintly forming a surroundment, "I'm asking you......"

Duncan shrugged his shoulders and casually took out the sun talisman from his arms, and said in a sincere tone: "My own people." ”

Let's get together first, maybe there are a lot of words.

If they don't believe it, then mingle.
