Everything is ready, and the east wind rises.
Yin Zhu and his companions did not know how the resistance organization had bribed the guards. After investigating their spiritual officers, the guards at the border between the inner and outer city areas chose to let them pass.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The chosen ones have different talents. Although the way to pass the level will vary depending on the choices and talents, in many ways, it is impossible for the chosen ones to be stuck just because they lack certain things.
Therefore, the indigenous people in the resistance organization are naturally also beings that the Chosen Ones can exploit.
"You're just going in to deliver something, so don't wander around."
The security guard, who had a pair of bull horns, tapped around on his tablet: "Let me tell you a few things to be careful about. Once you're inside, don't talk, look, or listen to anything you shouldn't, lest you go in alive but don't come out alive."
"Officer, you're so kind. Thank you so much for your help."
Hirano Shan bowed politely as before, making the gatekeeper's already dark skin, exposed to wind and rain for a long time, even more ruddy. He waved his hand apologetically, "It's nothing, I'm from the outer city too, let's help each other out."
Because of the scan just now, the information about Yin Zhu and the others' benevolent spirits has already been obtained by them.
The gatekeeper sent over the rules for the inner city directly through this link, and also reminded everyone: "If you unfortunately encounter a deity parading through the streets, be sure to lower your head and never look at them."
This sounds familiar?
Yin Zhu suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a similar rule in the outer city: [5. One must not look directly at the gods, or attempt to pry into the secrets behind them.]
In other words, this rule also applies to inner-city areas.
At first, Yin Zhu thought that the rules of Vina City were mainly restrictive to citizens, but now it seems that they might also have some protective meaning? What would happen if you looked directly at the gods?
If we only focus on the gods and don't delve into the secrets behind them, is that considered a violation of the rules, or only a partial violation?
Considering that many rules are crammed into one rule, Yin Zhu estimated that violating the rules is similar to getting pregnant; as long as you violate them, there will be problems—after all, there are only two possibilities for pregnancy: either you are pregnant or you are not pregnant, not that you are even slightly pregnant.
Chosen ones will be corrupted if they break the rules, but not every rule written by some random passerby counts as a rule.
However, Yin Zhu still had some doubts about the security guard's explanation:
"But how can we tell if someone is a deity? What if we accidentally see one? Wouldn't that cause a huge problem?"
The security guard wasn't surprised at all by this question.
He brandished the stun gun in his hand with a hint of smugness, and said to the group with the air of someone who had been there before, "Gods are merciful. If you don't know His identity, you can't pry into His secrets, so you won't be punished; but if you know His identity and still insist on seeing, then even the gods can't save you."
This rule... it sounds familiar...
However, after staying in the outer city for several days, Yin Zhu only clearly sensed that there was an unspeakable rule in one place, filled with an eerie feeling, which was the library that was said to be backed by the God of Dreams.
Other than that, I didn't feel anything.
However, the inner city was clearly different, so much so that Yin Zhu felt a strange excitement as soon as he took his first step inside.
Huh? Why?
Yin Zhu subconsciously covered her neck with her entire right hand, touching it repeatedly, feeling the unusual heat of her palm through her neck.
...Could I have somehow mastered the Flaming Palm technique without a teacher?
With a self-deprecating laugh, Yin Zhu retreated, the peculiar feeling vanishing instantly. This stark contrast convinced Yin Zhu that the cause lay within the inner city.
What's inside?
This instance is called "Cyber Mythology". Could it be that there are some rare and precious treasures inside that want to recognize me as their master?
As a Chinese person, deeply influenced by martial arts and cultivation culture, Yin Zhu immediately thought of countless similar protagonist plots, so she stood there in a daze for a while, which surprised Hirano Shan who turned around to look at her.
"……bamboo?"
Hirano San, with a dark expression, tried to interrupt Yin Zhu's rambling thoughts.
"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going in?" the man codenamed Big Bear asked in a booming voice. "Did you have an upset stomach at lunch? Are you too embarrassed to say you need to use the restroom?"
Yin Zhu suddenly realized what was happening and excitedly grabbed the security guard next to her, asking, "What if I need to use the restroom after I go inside?"
"Once you go in, open the Good Spirit Officer's portal and search for the toilets. It'll cost 10 Vena coins, just like last time. But..."
The gatekeeper looked Yin Zhu up and down, and continued somewhat uncertainly, "The inner city of Vina City places great importance on the environment. You can't urinate or defecate anywhere, or you might become fertilizer."
He wasn't joking.
This security guard once witnessed a country bumpkin from the outer city enter the city with the help of others to broaden his horizons. However, he was caught by a patrol robot because he casually spat out a mouthful of phlegm.
The country bumpkin's friend anxiously asked the team leader what happened to him and how much the fine would be.
But the team leader only gave her a pitying look and told her, "Your friend is not coming back. He violated the rules of the inner city and has been turned into fertilizer. You can't afford to buy a life back from the gods."
In the end, that person could only leave dejectedly.
The gods possess boundless power, are righteous and awe-inspiring, are unapproachable, and are as majestic as a mountain.
Thinking of this, the gatekeeper made a gesture as if praying to the gods.
They became increasingly devout.
Yin Zhu nodded as if she understood, but no one knew whether she had actually listened or how much she had taken in. All they saw was her next move: she turned to urge the worm, "Let's hurry back. After we finish this delivery, I have to go home and cook for my sister."
Hirano San turned her back to the camera and rolled her eyes: Where did this little sister of yours come from?
Because these people reacted normally, the security guard didn't think much of it and waved his hand to let them in.
This time, as soon as Yin Zhu stepped into the inner city, she felt Hirano Shan's burning gaze fixed on her back.
Yin Zhuping remained calm and focused, without letting her mind wander.
She tried to act as normally as possible, and out of her natural curiosity, she began to look around aimlessly, her mind naturally turning into a series of travel reflections:
Wow, the air inside is so fresh.
This is Yin Zhu's most direct feeling.
Because there seemed to be a protective barrier at the boundary between the inner and outer city areas. Although it was inaccessible, the moment Yin Zhu stepped into the inner city, she saw the hazy environment outside disappear, the air become sweet, and a blue sky and green grass appeared in front of her. Even buildings a hundred meters away were still clearly visible, and even her rhinitis improved a lot.
Wait, is there a sweet smell in the air?
Yin Zhu sniffed and could indeed smell a distinct sweetness in the air.
