No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
Before coming down, these young people still have expectations, thinking that they will make a contribution by finding the [key].
However, this was not Wen Yao's first time coming down, so he had already anticipated this result.
For so many years, every time he came down, it was more like a routine for Wen Yao.
"Has it ever occurred to you that the [key] might not even be here?"
Xu Jiang still did not rush to leave, but sat on the steps and chatted with Wen Yao.
As the two chatted more and more, Wen Yao not only did not see Xu Jiang more clearly, but instead felt that there were more and more mysteries about this man.
"Not here?"
Wen Yao actually guessed it too.
He even thought, could it be that the [key] doesn't exist at all?
"The lower city is huge!"
Xu Jiang looked into the darkness and said slowly, "Every time you come, you only search such a small area. You've almost turned it upside down."
"In fact, you know in your heart that if the [key] was here, you would have found it long ago."
This statement coincided with Wen Yao's thoughts.
"Why not look deeper?"
Xu Jiang asked softly.
Wen Yao pursed his lips and didn't answer.
"Ridiculous uptown people!"
Wen Yao's body stiffened.
"On the one hand, you need people from the lower city to protect you from the monsters."
"on the other hand……"
Xu Jiang laughed: "You are afraid of the people in the lower city again."
Wen Yao frowned and looked at Xu Jiang.
"Did you just say... 'you Uptowners'?"
"Well, what's the problem?"
Xu Jiang's smile was complicated, he stood up and walked towards the [prison gate].
"Didn't you just say that I'm more of a downtown person?"
