Alien Paradise.

Chapter 182 The source of the fog
Just as he was leaving the church, there were several obvious explosions in the south of the city, and the flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the dark horizon. At the same time, there were faint cries from the east of Fafe Street.Tonight is not destined to be peaceful.

Fortunately, he has resurrected all the players and equipped them with two vehicles.Now Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhou Zhi, and Cui Zhenen have rushed to the south of the city, while Anthony and Naruko Asahara are heading to the east. In addition to investigating the situation, they also want to eliminate possible cultists and prevent chaos from spreading to the vicinity of Yeni Temple.

"Why aren't these cultists planning to hide all of a sudden?" Elodie couldn't figure it out. "Even if they can occupy Fort Splendor, the news will definitely attract real troops to encircle and suppress the Old Continent, right?"

Although the city guard army is also known as the army, it is not a concept at all compared with the mainland army that directly belongs to the royal family.The latter has a large fleet to support ocean-going operations, and when the fleet arrives, it will be enough to blow Brilliant Fort to the ground even without docking.

"I don't know, but the enemy must have planned for this day for a long time. Let's get in the car first."

"Where are you going next? South of the city or east of the city?"

"No, let's go to the Lord's Mansion first." Chaoyang shook his head, "If it is captured there, the City Guards will become a mess. Hey—" he turned to Resk, "You come with us too!"

"Should I drive or you?" Alodie asked.

"You, I'm in charge of operating the weapon."

Angel walked quickly to the off-road vehicle, jumped into the driving seat, and suddenly felt that everything he was familiar with had returned: the instrument panel, gear shift lever, clutch and accelerator were all available, and even the seats were replaced by leather chairs with spring cushions , The interior is higher than the previous classic car. I don't know how many grades.

Resker was half-pushed and half-pulled by Chaoyang into the back seat, and looked at everything in the car with some ignorance: they also worked out a steel car when they met last time, but it was much worse than this one.Although he didn't know anything about this means of transportation, it didn't prevent him from feeling the difference between the two.The interior space of the car is huge, much more spacious than that of a carriage, and the seat is quite soft, so it won't be uncomfortable even if you lie down and sleep.The only problem is that the more comfortable and luxurious the furnishings, the thicker the weight. With the metal body, he doubts whether this thing can run better than walking on two feet.

After all, there are no special rails for it to travel in the city.

Chaoyang closed the car door, patted Elodie on the shoulder, "Let's go."

The latter let go of the pedal and stepped on the gas pedal with one foot.The high-pitched roar of the diesel engine brought the car to a sudden acceleration, causing Resker to slam into the seat cushion!

Even in the intersection of half-sand and half-mud, the wide wheels did not slip too much, but with the two-ton body as if walking on the ground, it drove into the gravel road in a short while.

Resk was shocked.

This sharp steering, surging power... even eight horses can't do this!Only Steam Wonder can match it.But this thing is not a strange structure, he is in it, and he can't feel the rhythm of any strange energy.

"Didn't you be seen by others all the way?" Alodi asked curiously.

"How is it possible? On the road from Fafe Street to Zhongyang Street, you can see awakened residents everywhere. There are dozens if not a hundred." Chaoyang said indifferently, "But this is the only way to get to the beach as quickly as possible. I don't care about that much anymore."

After speaking, he looked at Resk, "Tell me about the god you follow... If the God of Hidden Mist belongs to the God of Emeritus as you said, why would it summon fog to cover the entire New World?"

"There's also the disaster at the Acropolis." Alodi added, "According to Dan, the city was suddenly shrouded in fog, causing a large number of refugees to flee, and the casualties are hard to count, right? It's no wonder that other people will Make the Hidden Mist an evil god."

Resker looked at the outlines of the houses outside the car window, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Because the New World is not called the New World at all, and its level of development and development is much stronger than the Land of Hope across the sea."

"Land of Hope...referring to the Old Continent?"

"That's right. At that time, the status of the Old World was the same as that of the New World now... It was a new territory in development. Many adventurers crossed the sea, took root there, and began to build towns and seaports. According to the oracle tablet It describes that for a period of time, human kingdoms spread all over the world, the development of the continents on both sides was full of vitality, and sailing ships could be seen everywhere on the coastline, until the evil god was summoned to the world."

This is... jaw-dropping big news!Chaoyang blinked in surprise, not only Dan Judy didn't know, even Wanliji didn't reveal the relevant history!All historical records start from the Old Continent.

"and then?"

"At first, people only regarded people affected by evil gods as suffering from hysteria, but soon discovered that this kind of hysteria is not only contagious, but also further distorts reality. There is no record of the following things on the slate, maybe the situation took a turn for the worse. Or the slate was destroyed in the chaos. Anyway, the scattered kingdoms in the New World were all destroyed, and the penetration of the power of the evil god has spread to almost the entire continent."

Chaoyang pondered, "I can understand that the disease can be contagious, but what does it mean to distort reality?"

"To put it simply, you will go crazy after getting sick, and the people who see you will go crazy too. When a large number of people around you go crazy, the buildings and machines will decay, and the monsters in your dreams will appear from your dreams, no matter how absurd. All illusions are likely to become reality.” Resk said solemnly, “The only way to eliminate this effect is to forget—only when you can’t see or remember, hysteria will stop spreading; So stuck in fear that I can't do anything."

"So the purpose of the fog cover is not to prevent people from exploring the New World, but to cover up the disasters of the past?" Chaoyang couldn't believe it. According to the post-god theory, this cover-up is the result of many people praying together.

However, in order to achieve a real cover-up, not only the visual field must be blocked, but also the memory must be made a fuss about!Otherwise, even if people no longer set foot in the New World, they can still spread these disasters based on various written records.

"The thing about the Acropolis is because..."

"I didn't participate in it, but the essence is the same. Either the believers of the evil god are too active, or the behavior of some people has exceeded the bottom line, resulting in a high chance of giving birth to the messenger of the evil god. In order to avoid the worst from happening, we The mist must be summoned to cover it up, so that the people involved will completely forget the changes that happened in the city." Resk no longer concealed his mission, "But we are not gods after all, and there is no way for everyone to erase the memory of the Acropolis. Fortunately, the people have already regarded the Hidden Mist Cult as a cult, and the risk of venturing into the Acropolis to find out the truth is much lower."

At this point, Chaoyang already understood everything.Why there was a fog tide the night the train was robbed...why neither the Brotherhood of Miners nor the escaped slave laborers remember Resk's existence...

Because his mission is to make people forget.

Maybe there are many Hidden Mist Cultists like Resk in this world, they are hiding in different cities, observing the threat of evil gods to the world.Once a certain threshold is crossed, they call in a fog that engulfs the city.
