Even if Xu Xin himself did not know the truth about this world, he would probably feel at ease after learning that there is a city in this world composed of humans and the predecessors of survivors.
At least, in this world, humans still have a home and a large number of companions.
but……
Knowing the truth, he would not be so optimistic.
He didn't believe that the alien invaders who wiped out mankind thousands of years ago would do anything good.
"This city is called City of Hope, and as the name suggests," Shi Wanyun looked at Xu Xin. "The people of City of Hope generally believe that they were brought here by beings with a higher level of intelligence than humans. To them, these highly intelligent beings are like gods, rendering them powerless to resist."
"However, their current comfortable lives have also made them believe that the struggle for survival they experienced was a thrilling selection process. Only those who succeed in the selection are qualified to come into contact with the higher life forms of this world, qualified to live in this world, and qualified to serve them."
"They are very proud of this. Everyone shows a very devout and even somewhat fanatical worship of this highly intelligent creature, of what they call a god."
Xu Xin's heart moved slightly.
This is basically consistent with what Xu Xin said about the image in the crystal house.
Most of the people who were controlled by the alien invaders at that time had an extremely fanatical worship of them, a worship that was almost impossible to betray.
Xu Xin and his team are one of the few people who are immune to mind control.
"So, every year, there will be a fierce selection in the city to select the most outstanding people in the city. They will go outside the city to serve the true masters of this world, the group of more advanced commanding creatures, the gods in their hearts."
Xu Xin revealed a look of understanding: "That towering tree?"
"Well, but that's just one of them." Shi Wanyun looked at the World Tree still growing outside the window and said softly, "There are many trees like that on the back of this planet, and they are of different levels. The one I went to is one of the highest level."
She smiled softly, "Number 228 is very proud of this."
Xu Xin didn't want to laugh at all.
The World Tree...is on the back of the planet, are there many of them?
From this perspective, the selection process in human cities is somewhat similar to the college entrance examination in the world thousands of years ago.
It is a relatively universal selection.
All people of appropriate age can participate. Those who fail to be selected will not be able to enter university. Only those who are selected are eligible to go to university, and universities are divided into good and bad ones.
The world tree that Shi Wanyun went to was one of the highest-level "institutions of learning".
"However, unfortunately, even those who were selected and came to the World Tree have never actually seen any advanced intelligent creatures. Even though No. 228 has a relatively high status, she still has never seen her master, and has only heard of him."
Speaking of this, Shi Wanyun's eyes trembled slightly.
A trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but clench her hands in front of her, trembling slightly.
Then he let out a slow, trembling breath.
"You... have seen it." Xu Xin said softly.
"...Yeah." Shi Wanyun sniffed and nodded slightly, "I've seen it, that... monster."
As she spoke, her hands unconsciously grabbed Xu Xin's arms.
Her hands were already shaking.
Xu Xin could also see that her exposed wrist was covered with goose bumps.
…
That morning, Shi Wanyun was awakened by the mature woman.
Next to the mature woman, besides the reserved No. 228, there was another girl, the one she had greeted before, the one whose hair was covered with worms.
"Help her change her clothes within ten minutes." The mature woman's voice was very cold.
Shi Wanyun did not resist and let the two girls take off the pajamas that No. 228 had prepared for her last night, and then put on some very gorgeous-looking clothes for her one by one.
"What is going to happen..." Shi Wanyun looked at the mature woman and asked in confusion.
"The master is very interested in you, so he wants to see you." The mature woman's tone softened, in stark contrast to her previous coldness. "Although the master doesn't care about our appearance, we can't slack off."
"Master..." Shi Wanyun murmured.
Is she about to meet the real owner of this place?
No. 228 had told her last night that wanting to meet the master here was an extremely honorable thing, but also an extremely difficult thing. Among the people she knew, except for the supervisor, no one else was qualified to meet the master.
Unexpectedly, she, who had just arrived here, was summoned directly?
Beside her, No. 228, who was tidying up her clothes, was also stunned, with his neck stretched out.
The other girl was so shocked that her "black hair" began to twist wildly and even got tangled around Shi Wanyun's arm.

Shi Wanyun's body trembled, and she almost kicked the girl away.
Enduring the physical discomfort, she let the two men help her put on the complicated outfit.
She looked at the mirror beside her.
She looked like an exquisite doll at this moment.
The mature woman looked at Shi Wanyun and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad. You two did a good job. You can have priority in using the genetic medicine next time."
The latter sentence was said to the two women No. 228.
The two women suddenly woke up from their shock and said with surprise: "Thank you, Director!"
"Okay, we should go."
The mature woman nodded to Shi Wanyun and turned to walk out of the room.
The clothes on her body were not very comfortable, and even felt restrictive, making it difficult for Shi Wanyun to move for a while.
"Hurry up and catch up!" No. 228 urged immediately, her eyes filled with envy and jealousy. "Oh my God, you can see the owner the next day after you come here! Hurry up, hurry up, what if the place is full and the supervisor gets angry and doesn't take you? That's all!"
