Looking at the magnificent, futuristic city, Meng Feifei scratched her neck and exclaimed in astonishment, "Is this really the capital of our Yan Kingdom? I'm speechless..."
Lu Xiaoda was stunned for a while, then couldn't help but sigh, "I feel like a country bumpkin who came to the city... Hua Lingze, did you grow up in this kind of environment?"
Hua Lingze said calmly and composedly, "In fact, this is only the outer layer of the Fifth Ring Road."
"The Fifth Ring Road? The outer layer?" Yu Yuanyuan asked, puzzled.
Hua Lingze said, "The capital city is divided into five areas from the outside in: the fifth ring, the fourth ring, the third ring, the second ring, and the first ring."
"The closer you are to the first ring road, the closer you are to the city center, the more advanced the technology, the more wealthy people there are, and the closer you are to many human secrets."
"The Fifth Ring Road area is the most populous part of the capital city. The residents here are all fifth-class citizens of the capital city, as well as people from other places."
"...Wait a minute, fifth-class citizens?" Fang Wu asked in surprise, "Are citizens divided into classes here?"
“Yes,” Hua Lingze explained, “In your respective cities before, you probably didn’t have the concept of different classes of citizens. In the capital, fifth-class citizens can only move around in the fifth ring area and cannot enter the fourth ring area. Similarly, fourth-class citizens can only move around in the fourth ring at most, not to mention third-class and second-class citizens, and so on. In the capital, which class of citizen you belong to depends on your birth, talent, strength, wealth, and merits. If you have none of these, you are automatically a fifth-class citizen. Similarly, the welfare benefits that citizens can enjoy are the lowest in the fifth ring and the highest in the first ring.”
Everyone's mouths dropped open slightly, a feeling they couldn't quite describe.
The white beast sneered: "In this extraordinary era, it's no longer surprising that people are divided into different classes."
After a moment of silence, Ye'er said, "We Black Angels also have a similar class system..."
Linna sat in her seat, arms crossed, seemingly reminiscing about her past life.
He then spoke calmly and slowly: "The war has lasted for three hundred years, so this elite training system is not surprising. Humanity currently desperately needs highly talented warriors, and all resources are being poured into these highly talented individuals, while ordinary people can only suffer..."
The monkey, its eyes glazed over, let out a soft hum through its nostrils and murmured, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as suffering 'some' torment, is it?"
Monkeys themselves are people who have undergone genetic modification to climb up.
He originally didn't even have any extraordinary talent.
It is obvious how miserable ordinary people without extraordinary talent are in this era.
Meng Feifei stroked her chin: "Hmm...so what class of citizens are we?"
Truman said, "We are members of the Darkmoon. The moment we joined the Darkmoon, we became first-class citizens."
Meng Feifei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
......
Soon, Linna and the others arrived at the Fifth Ring Branch of the Night Watch in the capital.
Linnaeus approached the front desk: "Hello."
"You are..." The receptionist looked bewildered when she saw so many people, including Lin Nai.
Linna: "We are employees of the Confucian Company. We have been assigned by our superiors to assist you, the Night Watch, in investigating the werewolves."
"Ah...you are Confucianists." The young lady exclaimed in realization, "Wait a moment, I'll call our captain!"
"OK."
A short while later, a middle-aged man came out, looking travel-worn and very tired.
The man extended his hand: "Hello, I am the captain of the fourth squad of the Fifth Ring Night Watchmen of the capital. My name is Jiang Lin."
Lin Nai also extended his hand: "Hello, I am the leader of the Confucian disciples this time. My name is Bai Liao."
Everyone: "......"
"Hello, Bai student." Captain Jiang sighed, "It's really kind of you to make this trip. If we really had no other choice, we wouldn't have asked you Confucian students for help."
Linnaeus: "So what exactly happened?"
Captain Jiang looked around and lowered his voice: "It's not convenient here, let's go inside to talk."
Linna paused, remembering what Instructor Gao Xuan had said about the possibility of spies within the Night Watch who might have defected to the demon race, and nodded: "Okay."
The group then followed Captain Jiang inside.
As she walked at night, her delicate nose suddenly twitched and she sniffed.
Linna noticed the girl's unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong?"
“There is definitely a demonic scent around here,” Night said.
"Is that so?" Linna raised an eyebrow. "So, there are werewolves lurking near this Night Watch headquarters?... Can you smell exactly where they are?"
The girl shook her head: "It seems that the other party used a tool to conceal their presence, and I cannot sense their exact location."
“Hmm…” Linna said, “I’ve also activated the Gray Eyes before, but I haven’t found any suspicious demonic souls.”
“If werewolves don’t enter their demonic form, they not only look like humans, but almost all their other characteristics are also the same as those of demons,” Night said. “Unless a very detailed and thorough physical examination is conducted, it is very difficult to detect.”
Lin Nai nodded silently, indicating that she understood.
Then, Captain Jiang led everyone to a small room of about twenty square meters.
"This room is very safe, everyone can rest assured," Captain Jiang said.
So, Captain Jiang began to explain the whole case to everyone in detail.
"The current death toll is 157."
"Analysis of the demonic DNA detected on the victims' bodies has confirmed that there are at least ten lurking demonic werewolves in the city, and all of them detected so far are at the level of the Wraith."
"These are the current identity information of the victims. Please take a look."
Captain Jiang placed a large pile of documents in front of Lin Nai.
Linnaeus picked it up and examined it carefully.
"These werewolves' activity locations range from the Fifth Ring Road to the Third Ring Road?"
"Yes."
"So, some of them actually have the status of third-class citizens?"
"Yes, it seems that's correct now..."
Lin Nai frowned slightly.
Third-class citizens are not that low; in theory, they have all undergone rigorous identity genetic testing and iris testing.
How exactly did these werewolves manage to obtain third-class citizen status?
“Not only that.” Captain Jiang sighed heavily, “I even suspect that some of us in the Night Watch are in cahoots with those werewolves, deliberately tipping them off.”
Lin Nai raised an eyebrow, surprised that Captain Jiang thought the same way: "Why do you say that?"
