Gao Wen looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her curiously, which gave people the impression of "pale". Although he had heard the description of the other party from the report before, it was not until he saw it with his own eyes that he truly realized what the other party's "heterotype" was like a human being: the purest black and white that constituted this girl, and there was no color other than that. This ultimate pure color even made the outline between her face look a little blurred, and most people would probably feel creepy when they were staring at her with colorless eyes.

This creepy heterogeneous feeling can even subconsciously ignore the girl's pretty face, as well as the friendly and gentle smile on the corners of her mouth.

But Gao Wen was very knowledgeable after all. After his initial surprise and curiosity, his attitude immediately calmed down. He knew that the other party's appearance should be influenced by Ms. Ye, the "light and shadow master", and the other party's identity...is obvious.

"Hello," he smiled and reached out, "You should be the Miss Morning Star mentioned in the report?"

The silver-haired girl seemed to be startled by Gao Wen's hands that she stretched out. She probably didn't expect that the "Legend of Gao Wen Cecil" would be so approachable. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out carefully. The cold skin touch came from Gao Wen's fingertips: "Hello."

Amber finally realized at this time. She looked at the girl in front of her in surprise for a few glances, and then the corresponding memories appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but exclaim: "It's you! I remember it! I've been dealing with you while wandering in this city before, and there are many people who are similar to you!"

"Yes, that's exactly us, but what you were wandering in the city was just a projection between reality and illusion," said the girl Morning Star with a smile. "At that time, the 'anchored' had not fully played a role, and you had arrived at the border of the Kingdom of God and were in a critical stage of disintegrating from the real world at any time. Therefore, the lady took action to temporarily block part of your self-awareness and memory, allowing you to live in the city for a while. Sorry, in order to make the anchoring process go smoothly, we have been hiding the truth from you."

"It's not the problem," Amber immediately waved his hand indifferently, and his face showed a happy look. "That experience is quite interesting to recall, and you also take good care of me, there is food, drink and living place..."

As she said, her eyes swept across the black cloak of Chenxing. Her eyes remained on the silver-white emblem, and she was silent for a moment before she whispered: "The military intelligence agency's emblem... Although I could probably guess what happened, I still want to hear you tell me in person that Silver-Eyed Corod, who is your person?"

"He is my great-grandfather," Chenxing smiled slightly, "and the founder of the Shadow Affairs Department of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he passed away more than ten years ago, and my father and grandfather took over his "inheritance" in his early years. Now, most of the military intelligence officers in the City of Night are like me, or earlier "third generations". You may think my appearance is a bit strange... This is the proof that the third and fourth generations have completely completed the "shadow affinity."

Amber opened her mouth and scratched her hair awkwardly: "It's not that strange, actually... although I was really surprised when I saw it for the first time."

But Chenxing just smiled indifferently, then took a step back slightly and pointed to the entrance of the night city: "Please follow me, I will take you through this city located on the border between the Kingdom of God and the present world. Director Amber, after that, you will be the real hostess of the city. In addition, I will also introduce you to the situation here on the road. The lost people and their descendants have lived in this world for a hundred years. There are many things here... worth seeing."

...

As its name suggests, the city seems to be covered with a dark and chaotic sky above the city forever, maintaining a contradictory state that seems to have entered the night but has a glimmer of light illuminated the streets.

This is completely different from the desert around the throne of Lady Night, which was always illuminated by the pale daylight...

But even though it is always shrouded in such a dim sky, even if the whole city looks like it is just a strange and gloomy silhouette from a distance, the streets of this "Night City" are actually far more... "Busy and lively" than Gao Wen imagined.

Because there are residents in this city, and there are countless residents.

In the mist, rows of houses lined up next to the streets. Many houses looked like they were stacked in a row from a distance, as if they were contrary to geometric principles. Their upside-down and messy exterior walls even made it difficult to accurately determine the location of doors and windows. On both sides of the road, there were street lights with simple and elegant shapes extending into the distance. The crystal lampshade at the top of the street lights swayed pale and dim light. This light did not seem to be for lighting, but was simply used as an embellishment in the city.

And in the streets and alleys of this city that looked a bit absurd and weird, there were the residents of the night city who suddenly flashed through the walls, the clouds of mists that bustled through the streets, the shadow residents who were surrounded by rune tapes, and the mysterious movements of many shadow residents. There were even many forms that were simply not visible to the naked eye. Only when it sounded in the air, like a whisper, could Gao Wen judge that "there was someone there" from the perception of the breath.

This is the city created by the ruler of light and shadow. It is located on the "gate" of the night border. From the style to the atmosphere, from the buildings in the city to the residents living here, everything here presents a strange state that seems to be intertwined with dreams and reality. It can even be called a "wake dream". Even a person like Gao Wen, who is knowledgeable, is a bit creepy when walking on the streets of such a city, even reminds him of the descriptions in some horror stories:

When you open your eyes and see this place, you feel that there is no figure everywhere. You rub your eyes hard again and find that there are only human figures in this place...

"The painting style of this place finally began to conform to the impression left by the ancient god "Ms. Ye", "Even Amber, who had been "living" in this city for a while, seemed a little uncomfortable. She was walking past a low wall with a "shadow" as flat as paper. As Amber finished speaking, the shadow suddenly "floated" from the wall. Then it seemed to say hello to Gao Wen and others, and then turned into an invisible cloud and mist and gradually drifted away. "I didn't feel that something was wrong when I wandered around this place before..."

"Your self-awareness was not complete at that time, and of course you wouldn't feel any inconsistency," Chenxing smiled on his face. "But you don't have to be nervous. The residents living in this city are the people of Ms. Ye. They have completed their journey of return and regained their rationality from the blind wandering state. Perhaps their form is a bit weird... but everyone is very friendly, and they will treat you as VIPs."

"They are all shadow residents?" Gao Wen opened his eyes wide in surprise, "including the shadow that appeared from the wall just now, and the 'vocals' that... can only hear the sound of talking?"

"Yes, they are all Shadow residents. There are only two types of residents here, either 'lost descendants' like me,' or Shadow residents," Chenxing nodded with a smile, "and the lost descendants occupy a very small population in the entire city."

"...I thought all the Shadow residents had rune tapes wrapped around them, and there was a cloud of clouds floating inside," Gao Wen said in surprise. "It turns out that they have... other forms."

"Shadow residents also have emotions, and naturally have different aesthetics. Everyone was the same when they wandered unconsciously before, but now that they have regained their sanity, they will naturally... dress up," Chenxing said, his tone and expression seem a bit strange. "Of course, their dressing style may be different from the aesthetics of the 'outside'. For example, in the past two years, many Shadow residents seem to regard the 'transparent black matte fog with a concentration of 32% and a gradient of horizontal lines' as a popular aesthetic... Well, to be honest, I don't know much."

Gao Wen thought about it, and finally he could only sigh: "What was Ms. Ye thinking about when she created this race..."

"Ms. He... often acts casually," Chen Xing's mouth curled up slightly. "When I was very young, my great-grandfather told me about his youth. He said that the lost man was not used to it when he first came here. Living next to an unpredictable ancient god brought a lot of pressure to everyone, but later everyone realized that the lady's seemingly 'unpredictable weird temper' was actually just thinking about it one after another, and ignoring Him... it didn't seem to have any effect."

Gao Wen subconsciously glanced at Amber next to him, and then immediately withdrew his gaze before the shadow assault goose noticed it.

Chenxing continued to lead the way forward and suddenly stopped in front of an intersection. Then she raised her hand and pointed forward.

Gao Wen looked in the direction of her finger, and his eyes suddenly stopped in the air.

He saw a flag depicting swords and plows flying high on a spire in the city of night. Although the flag had faded its color and was left with only the monotonous black and white as the surrounding buildings, the pattern of the swords and plows became more and more distinct.

He heard the voice of Morning Star sounding beside him: "Most of the people living in this neighborhood are descendants of the Cecilians, and the Shadow Affairs Department uses it as a stronghold. Here we maintain the laws of the empire, deal with relations with other cities, and deal with the shadow residents on behalf of the descendants of the lost.

"In the past century, we have formed a good 'neighborhood relationship' with the indigenous peoples here, and have learned a lot from the Shadow Residence, about the ancient civilization, and even about the dispute between Ms. Night and the tide. Although the Shadow Residence has been wandering blindly for hundreds of thousands of years, most of them still remember what happened during the wandering, and some of them were originally residents of the Violet Kingdom, who knew a lot of unknown history."

Then she paused, raised her hand and pointed in another direction: "The intersection in front is left, and crossed two blocks, where the descendants of the Tifeng people live."

"Tifeng?!" Gao Wen stopped in surprise, but then he realized that of course there will be descendants of Tifeng people here!

At that time, the dream of the Violet Kingdom suddenly disappeared, and the "strange people" who were swallowed by the fog were not only the operators and transnational merchants from Cecil. At the same time, there were a large number of Tifeng merchants and their own intelligence personnel stranded on Violet Island, and even Tifeng. At that time, there were gray elf vendors from the moss forests, apprentices sent by the Northern City-State Consortium to study, and travelers who crossed the strait in their personal names!

It is true that the Violet Kingdom was a hidden country back then, but only its core area was implemented in the strict blockade policy. The cities on its border were still open to the Loren continent. Under such limited opening, a large group of people were stranded in the fog of Violet!

For Ms. Ye, there is no difference between the Cecils and the Tifengs and the Agures. Since He took action to leave behind the Silver-Eyed Corod, he would certainly treat other "lost people" who also entered the Kingdom of Shadow God... He would of course treat everyone equally.

"As well... Of course there will be Tsing Fengren," Gao Wen exhaled softly, with a curious expression on his face, "What's the situation now?"

"Their leader is Viscount Herbone Reven, a very capable leader. As far as I know, the grandfather of this Viscount Herbone Reven is named Dante Reven, and is a soldier," Chenxing nodded. "We don't know much about the 'Outside World', and all the information comes from the inheritance of our ancestors and fathers. However, considering that the 'Outside World' has not experienced a century of changes like the City of Night, the information we know should not be outdated, right?"

Gao Wen looked at Amber next to him thoughtfully, and the latter nodded for a moment: "Dant Reven, a soldier of Tifeng, he has a cousin named Mariannu Reven. This Miss Mariannu was one of the first Tifeng scholars to study in Cecil."

"Maryannu Riven..." Gao Wen thought for a while and recalled, "Oh, I signed the graduation certificates of those special Tifeng international students at that time. I remember this name."

"It seems that Miss Mariannu's cousin is also one of the people who disappeared in the Violet Mist incident, and his descendants have now become the leader of the Tifeng people in this night city..." Gao Wen said, and couldn't help but sigh, "For those outside, the disappearance of their relatives is just something that happened not long ago, but in this night city, everything is a century ago."

"It seems that we must do some handover work after that," Amber said thoughtfully. "There are not only ours in this city, but also the descendants of lost people from various countries. For those who have lost their news about their loved ones in the Violet Mist incident, the news we brought out... is precious."

Gao Wen nodded.

Compared with the upcoming tide of demons and the Ragnarok plan, this is not a big deal, but for those who are personally involved, these things must be missed by someone.

Chenxing turned his head and pointed to the other side of the block.

"On that side is a neighborhood established by the descendants of the lost people of the Augure tribe and the descendants of the northern city-state. Most of the outstanding craftsmen and brewers are concentrated there. They have a wide connection and are also well-known among the Shadow Inhabitants...

"Four blocks away from here, there is a large residential area called the 'big market', where most of the people living there are descendants of adventurers and independent merchants, and some ancestors are scholars or free mercenaries. The atmosphere of the big market is loose, and there are many entertainment venues. Even the residents of the Shadow often go there to spend time.

"In addition, there are some scattered living places between these neighborhoods, most of which have gradually appeared in the past century... After so long, the descendants left by those lost people at the beginning have undergone great changes. Some people no longer care about the 'inheritance' and 'admonition' left by their ancestors, but overall, everyone is getting along well now..."

Listening to Chenxing’s story, Gao Wen suddenly sighed softly: “Have you changed a hundred years of vicissitudes…”
