In the Archdiocese, in Lao Le’s yard, an old man and a young boy were eating watermelon.

Since coming to Twilight and becoming a pastor, Levi has been living a rather leisurely life.

He basically didn't have to think about anything and just followed Lao Le around the entire central area every day.

On the surface, this city is much more civilized and harmonious than other underground cities in the East District. Those specially recruited graduates who have awakened to the rules because of the college incident seem to have completely lost their threat as the Tongmenghui is privately and completely controlled by the cabinet, and no trouble has broken out.

As for the illegal refugees who fled from other cities in the Eastern Region, the city that had suddenly become crowded and chaotic was slowly being sorted out thanks to the cabinet's strong orders, the new immigration bill passed by the Council of State, and the strict enforcement of the Criminal Department. All the illegal immigrants were sent back to their place of origin. Although these people committed some minor crimes during this period, they did not expand into bigger troubles.

At the same time, the cleanup of the Green Day remnants within the central government was coming to an end. Some of the secret agents that Green Day had left in various organizations were found, which relaxed the originally tense atmosphere in the city. The cabinet finally had the time and energy to put on the agenda how to solve the recent frequent rebellion problems in the East District.

In this largest underground human city, everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

But after Levi followed Lao Le to observe the entire four central districts, he felt that this place was far from being as prosperous as it appeared on the surface.

The problem of specially recruited graduates has not been completely solved. Chen Guangsheng has already firmly established his foothold in the underground forces of the central government. He is just still in the stage of observation and hiding from the limelight, and has not begun to try to contact those specially recruited graduates who are dissatisfied with the current situation.

The problem of immigration to the central government seemed to have been solved, and all illegal refugees were sent back to their original places. This practice preserved the central government's own stability, but in fact it greatly damaged the city's prestige in the East District. Those refugees belonged to the powerful class in their original hometowns. They almost sold their property in their hometowns and came to the central government with their families to seek asylum, but were eventually driven back.

This approach will undoubtedly make them resent the central government. It is even possible that if there are no special recruits in their own cities to rebel, they will return and take the initiative to declare independence from central control and return to the independent state of the old century.

Although the cabinet had completed the inventory, it was a pipe dream to expect it to return to handling government affairs more efficiently. There was fierce party struggle in the central government itself. The conflict between the Republicans and the Conservatives even spread to the academy, indirectly leading to the death of a prince. It can be seen that the two factions were incompatible.

This kind of factional struggle has been going on for decades, even involving major research institutes, forcing scientists and chosen ones to choose their teams, making the laboratories that should have been otherworldly become full of intrigue.

The situation in other cities in the East Region was even worse because no one stopped the rebellion during this period, and the rebellion began to spread everywhere.

The central government has long been in danger. Levi feels that even if no one interferes later, the cabinet and the royal family will begin to gradually lose control of other cities, unless they put aside internal conflicts and send out those pampered chosen ones from the central government to deal with the rebellion with lightning speed before the special recruits have time to develop and rise. Then there may be an explanation.

But looking at the current situation, the central government is already somewhat overwhelmed.

Listening to Lao Le's words beside him, Li Wei sat on a small stool beside him and took a bite of iced watermelon. He did not respond to the inexplicable sigh, but asked.

"I've been following you around for so many days. Does this help me see Twilight?"

Of course, he has not forgotten why he found the church in the first place.

Lao Le was an old man he met in this game, and he was quite pleasing to the eye. However, he came here to complete a mission, not to socialize with people of different ages. After so many days, of course he had to ask about serious matters.

Lao Le turned and looked at Levi.

He didn't know if it was Levi's illusion, but he felt that compared to the first time he saw the old man more than ten days ago, he had become thinner and older, but his eyes were obviously getting brighter and his spirits were getting better and better.

"How can it not help?"

He said with a smile.

"When you first came to the church, I told you that paradise is twilight, and twilight is paradise. There is no difference between the two things. However, if paradise needs time to spread and spread, if you want to see the most fundamental twilight, you need to wait until paradise is completely spread throughout this city and make this place a suitable breeding ground before twilight itself can appear."

Levi has also studied the Twilight doctrine these days. He is not in vain as an intern walking priest. He just has not joined the Twilight plan.

"Hotbed? Are you referring to the world mentioned in the Twilight Gospel where the Twilight will automatically start after the human race is destroyed?"

"Twilight, the last ray of afterglow before night falls." Lao Le calmly explained the meaning of this term, and shook his head slowly, "But I don't like this word. The sky is getting dark, so what can we do even if we keep this last ray of light? Even the originally bright sun will eventually go out, let alone a ray of twilight?"

Levi couldn't help but tease.

"Pope Twilight doesn't like Twilight?"

"Not only do I dislike it, I have never joined the Twilight Project."

Such an answer made Levi a little surprised. He looked at Lao Le. It was like a restaurant owner never eating his own food or a tea shop owner never drinking his own tea. It made people doubt their own things.

Lao Le naturally saw what Levi was suspicious about, and he chuckled.

"Don't have any doubts about Twilight. There is really nothing wrong with this plan, and its original intention is indeed good. Although the church has lost its doctrine in the past, it has never polluted Twilight."

"Some people forced the position of Pope on me because they were afraid. The thing they used to restrain me was Twilight, just like no prisoner likes the shackles on his body. Regardless of whether I am the Pope or not, I will never like that thing."

Lao Le was just chatting with Li Wei, telling him some secrets that most people in the central government didn't know.

"Besides, I don't like Twilight's teachings that encourage people to obey in this world and look forward to the afterlife. The church's preaching can indeed make some evil people reform, but it often makes those at the bottom live a mediocre life, completely losing their blood and resistance."

Levi agreed with Lao Le's remarks. He felt the same way when he first learned about Twilight's teachings in the Border City of the Sun.

"But let's not talk about Twilight's teachings. Let's just talk about the Twilight Project itself. It is indeed a genius creation."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Lao Le was not stingy with his praise.

"In addition to the brain nerve system that brings together all those willing to join the Twilight Project, the consciousness world that can accommodate these nerve systems is also a very amazing experiment and discovery. Under normal circumstances, a person's nerves cannot represent complete memories. Even if there are complete memories, the memories cannot be equivalent to the same person as before. However, the world that can accommodate Twilight can do this. It is the premise for Twilight's appearance."

After Lao Le returned to the main topic, Levi understood the meaning of his words.

"You mean, if we want to see Twilight in the real world, we have to transform this world into a place where Twilight can exist?"

"There is no need to transform the entire world. That would be too much work. Some things are actually not that complicated. The core principles are quite simple. Strictly speaking, each space in the underground cities where humans live is separated."

Lao Le gestured to Levi to look at the central edge, the sloping barrier covered with trees.

"The barriers on all sides and the dome of light cloud divide all the cities into honeycomb-like spaces. As for the inter-city tunnels, they cannot be considered to have truly connected the cities because there are still no rules in the tunnels. So for the people living in this city, this city is actually equivalent to the entire world."

At this time, Levi finally understood why the church was so actively promoting the paradise plan. He turned his head and looked directly at Lao Le.

"You want to use Paradise to transform this city into an environment where Twilight can appear?"

But Lao Le did not answer this question directly. He just lay down on the recliner and spoke calmly.

"I just borrowed the power of the Twilight Church and used Paradise to invade this city little by little from a domain left by a former great man. Now the changes have begun, but if you want to meet the conditions for the advent of Twilight, you still need to do something yourself."

Levi was a little curious.

"What else am I going to do?"

Lao Le said leisurely.

"According to the rules of Twilight, good guys and bad guys will be distinguished, and the most evil ones will be punished. Paradise covers this city, and can only carry out superficial punishment. In fact, the status and identity of the person in a high position will not change. This requires human intervention."

"You don't have to intervene in everything. After tonight, you just need to intervene in the things that you can control and that you don't like. I will prepare the rest."

Just as Lao Le finished speaking, a task reminder popped up in the player information in Levi's mind after a long absence.
