At that moment, a blue fluorescent light transformed into scattered stripes that merged into the shops on both sides, and a bright blue starlight flashed inside the windows before quickly fading away.

A white cloud of mist rose from the house's chimney.

Bang!

Victor opened the door and came out, white smoke billowing from his body, as he emerged from the shop.

"This is the first 'dream city' I created—Fengqi Garden."

"The people you see now are not truly alive."

Seeing Viktor appear, and with his detailed explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's unbelievable that in the real world, if such a bustling city with such a large population existed, yet the residents of the capital were completely unaware of it, it would be utterly absurd.

But on second thought, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Could it be that these so-called humans were actually created through magic?

Everyone present was stunned, staring at the residents walking around, speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Dean Rachel spoke up:

"Please wait a moment, Chief Professor Victor."

"I can understand the magic here, but our purpose should be to assess students, not to make them more realistic, right?"

The others listened to the dean's question and felt it made a lot of sense, so they nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, as I said, I don't see what makes this city suitable for students to take exams."

Viktor smiled faintly and responded gracefully to Rachel:

"The assessment has begun, Dean Rachel."

"What?"

Rachel was somewhat puzzled.

Everyone else looked at each other, completely dumbfounded when they heard Viktor say that.

"Haven't you noticed yet?"

At this moment, a gasp rang out from the crowd, drawing everyone's attention.

"Where are the students?! Where have all the students gone?"

Everyone seemed to wake from a dream, turning around to search for the students, but they were nowhere to be seen in the vast space.

Only some newspapers and media outlets stood there dumbfounded, holding their magic crystals, unsure of what to do.

The adults immediately frowned; they had no idea what kind of danger awaited their children in this place called the "copy."

Viktor, hands in his pockets, said calmly:

"As I said, the assessment has already begun."

"Next, you will see something that interests you."

The surrounding space shattered again like a broken mirror, but then the fragments quickly pieced themselves back together, and everything returned to normal.

Countless people stood still, as if their positions had been redefined.

Everyone seemed to have returned to the starting point, and the process of children playing and frolicking in the streets was being repeated over and over again.

The surrounding space shattered and cracked again, and the fragments of nothingness returned and replenished the space once more.

Even pedestrians have returned to the beginning, and the process of children playing and frolicking in the streets is being repeated.

While everyone was still in a daze, someone suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed ahead.

"Look, isn't that Princess?"

Their eyes all followed the finger and saw Aurelion with silver hair walking towards them.

Claudia also saw Aurelion.

This surprised them greatly, but Aurelion acted as if she didn't see them, looking around curiously and exploring everywhere.

She walked straight through the crowd, like a gentle breeze brushing against everyone's body.

Claudia felt the exact same touch as before once again.

Looking at the scene before them, everyone stood frozen in place, like a stone, their bodies stiff and their minds racing.

Seeing that Aurelian had completely passed through the Queen, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

Could it be that...?

Has Aurelion now completely integrated into the city?

And the next moment, they saw it.

A passerby rushed out from nearby and leaned against the shop, shouting loudly:

"Excuse me, is there anyone who can help me?!"

She frantically sought help from passersby, her eyes glazed over, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and her lips trembling slightly.

But the passersby seemed to completely ignore her.

Aurelion frowned, as if she was somewhat annoyed by the pedestrians around her, and then walked over.

"Don't worry, what's wrong? Perhaps I can help you?"

The moment the man saw Aurelion, it was as if he had grasped a lifeline. He grabbed her clothes tightly and shouted:

"Beautiful lady, please help me!"

“I need herbs from outside town to treat my child; she is dying.”

Aurelion quickly tried to calm him down:

"What kind of herbs do you need? I can help you find them."

After being reassured, the passerby gradually calmed down and began to explain to Aurelion:

“I need Fanling flowers.”

"These pink flowers only grow outside the town, and they have a unique fragrance."

"But please be careful, wherever it grows, there are bound to be some monsters nearby."

Aurelion listened calmly to the woman's description, then solemnly said:

"Please rest assured, Madam."

"I will bring it back for you."
