Half a year had passed since the London incident.
As the [London Game. Continuation] had been completely confirmed, it would open in one and a half years.
The explanation would correspond to a larger-scale invasion. Almost all the land deed areas above the medium scale had received the [Game Invitation], including the Original Bodies.
At the same time, Mother Evernight issued the [Trial Policy on the Full Opening of the City of London].
Compared to the original state of seclusion, London was now in an extreme state. As long as the identity of the Hybrid Demons was verified, they would be allowed to enter the city, regardless of whether their origin was clear or not.
After a period of basic life, the outsiders would be able to get a long-term London residence permit as long as they met the basic requirements.
Such a policy attracted two types of Hybrid Demons to a large extent.
The first type belonged to a group of 'loose people' who did not have a direct affiliation.
In the Hybrid Demon group.
Being an unaffiliated person wasn't something that could be done just because one wanted to.
As a large number of Gods existed in the world, they could be found in any corner of the world. A branch, a stream, or a cloud could all symbolize a certain old king. It could be said that believers were everywhere in the world today.
Almost all the Hybrid Demons, and even some wild ones, would join the forces of the old king before they became Hybrid Demons.
Therefore.
Most of the 'loose people' did not belong to any faction, but were exiled because of mistakes.
They would be imprinted with the 'Mark of Exile', which would cause them to be ostracized by other forces. They would even be hunted down and imprisoned by some extremist groups.
The complete opening of the City of London immediately attracted a large number of 'loose people' who tried to live a new life here. Of course, there must be some extremely evil people among them.
Not only would they not be ostracized here, but they could easily get a residence permit if they performed well.
If they contributed, they could even get a gift from the mythical body or even the old king.
However, since they came to the City of London, they had to follow the local rules. For example, they needed to maintain the [Human Form] in the city.
Hybrid Demons who could not be humanized would be prohibited from entering the city.
…
The second type was the 'observers' who came from afar.
They belonged to the special personnel who received the game invitation and came to investigate. The small ones were some very ordinary scouts, and the big ones were the mythical bodies who came in person.
Occasionally, there would be some special observers mixed in … and our vision would be focused on two special observers.
Between the Dark Forest and the City of London, the English Basin.
The villages directly under the administration of the Church were located in the basin area. Some evil rituals, secret research, and executions of serious offenders were carried out in the villages, which were inconvenient to carry out in the city of London. At the same time, the villages also served as sentries.
The basin area was also paved with stone paths leading to various villages, or even to the city of London.
On both sides of the stone path, there were street lamps arranged at intervals. There were dedicated "candle keepers" responsible for ensuring that there would be uninterrupted candlelight throughout the year.
On a stone path that led directly to London, there were two special 'explorers' walking. They were wearing cloaks with enchantment functions. Judging from their posture, the two of them had already achieved 'humanoid form' in advance.
One of them was about 1.7 meters tall.
Inside and outside the cloak, there were books without covers hanging on delicate metal chains. There were many of them, and each book was wrapped with Mana of different attributes.
The other person was a head taller than his companion, about 1.9 meters tall. When he walked, he would make a 'slap' sound, which came from the special structure of his feet.
When the city of London was in sight.
The taller person stopped and looked at a protruding part on the east side of London.
"Pope, did the city of London have this part before? Or was it recently expanded? Why do I feel that this part is very unfamiliar and out of place with Night City? "
When his companion asked this question.
A book on the surface of the shorter person's body began to flip on its own, and then it gave an answer.
"It should be a sub-city that was expanded after the [London Game].
Perhaps it has something to do with the influx of a large number of unaffiliated people. The city of London needs to build an area dedicated to unaffiliated people.
It may also be for other reasons. Let's go and take a look after entering the city. It just so happens that my [Book] doesn't record this part of the information. "
"Hmm …"
When the two of them passed through the monitoring station at the city gate, the inspector was so frightened that he almost shook off the candle on his head.
"Do you two need me to ask my mother directly? You can enjoy the highest treatment with your status. "
The shorter person responded in a rather gentle voice, "No need.
The incident in the city of London should have caused my mother a lot of trouble. We won't disturb her … This time, we're just here for a casual stroll. You just need to get us a pass. "
"Here are two high-level residence permits. They should be able to meet your basic needs."
"Hmm … By the way, we saw that the east side of London seems to be undergoing a large-scale expansion. What project is it? Is it convenient to reveal it? "
"It's a sub-city approved by my mother. We don't know the exact project, but we know that it's related to the Church of Evernight. It's now in the final stage, and unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering.
If the two of you want to enter, you'll need the church's approval. "
"Isn't the sub-city used to manage outsiders?"
"No, London has enough space to accommodate outsiders. After all, we suffered heavy casualties in the last invasion, and the population is sparse.
The construction of the sub-city is related to outsiders, and outsiders are absolutely prohibited from entering. Even members of the church have to obtain the relevant approval. "
"Okay, thank you."
When he felt that it was of no value, he didn't continue asking.
When the two of them officially stepped into London, they immediately walked towards the east.
"It's actually not used to manage 'refugees.' Furthermore, it uses an absolutely enclosed 'city within a city' management … What project could it be?
Could it be that London intends to build a military factory or a super-large portal to deal with the next invasion? "
Pope, who was relatively short, immediately rejected his companion's words. "In terms of the nature of the game, these projects aren't necessary.
Let's just go and take a look … Anyway, it's a little boring along the way. Maybe there'll be more interesting encounters. "
"Pope, are you planning to use illegal means to sneak in?
With your methods, even your mother would need to use the land deed to check before you can be exposed.
Why do I feel that things have suddenly become interesting?
Speaking of which, could it be that there are the invaders captured alive in the last London game? The church's personnel are secretly studying them internally … After all, London's Hybrid Demon technology is relatively advanced. "
"That's possible."
When the two of them arrived at the east side of the city, they found that the east gate had been replaced by a high wall.
Only a stone passage was left, and its width allowed two people to pass through at the same time.
The entrance was guarded by two large priests, and the nearby streets were constantly patrolled by church members. There were also a large number of 'Candlemas' floating in the sky.
As long as the residents stayed on the street for more than three seconds, they would immediately be driven away.
Obviously, the other end of the passage was the mysterious sub-city.
"Huh?!"
Staring at the stone wall in front of him, the shorter [Pop] suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"The other side of the wall is actually branded with a 'Void Mark' that can block all space travel … What is this place?"
"Void?" The tall man was surprised. "Isn't this the ability you're proficient in?"
