Alien paradise

"And me!" Judy quickly agreed.

Chaoyang looked at the two of them for a long time, and finally smiled helplessly, "But this is your choice."

"Yes!" Their eyes lit up.

"This time we're going to rob a train."

"It turned out to be a train hijacking—ah!?" Judy was stunned.

"The dilemma of the Yeni Holy Church is money, and robbing the rich is the fastest way. Of course, we don't intend to pick on hard bones like banks. The transportation train of Gaotian Mining Company is the most ideal choice at the moment. Anyway, the Holy Church is currently The situation is inseparable from them." Chaoyang gave an overview of the results of everyone's deliberations last night, "Considering that mining companies generally have their own armed suppression forces, this mission will definitely have certain risks, and you don't want to get involved. If so, it’s too late to quit now.”

"I won't quit!" Judy said without hesitation, "Chengbei Police Station must have been under their instructions. The previous accounts have not been settled with them yet!"

"Of course I am too." Dane nodded, "But...are you sure you want to do it between the smelter and the mine? It's a foggy area there."

"Misty area?" Chaoyang raised his eyebrows.

"I think you must have noticed the endless fog in the distance of the city, right?"

He nodded. He had been coming to Brilliant Castle for so long, and he had visited almost every corner. Indeed, when he was in the northeast area, he could always see a cloud of fog. At first he thought it was a very low cloud, a phenomenon unique to the seaside, but for so many days, no matter whether it was sunny or rainy, it seemed to have never moved.

"That's the fog closest to the city, so you can see it. But in fact, the entire New World is covered in fog like this. As long as you leave the city a little bit, you will find yourself in a thick fog that makes it almost impossible to move." .”

"Shouldn't fog be a weather condition?" Chaoyang asked puzzledly. There seems to be no relevant content mentioned in the book "The History of Brilliant Castle".

"Otherwise, let Mr. Chao go and meet him in person!" Judy suggested, "There is a sightseeing bus you can take anyway!"

"Okay, what do you want?" Dan asked.

"In that case, please lead the way."

…

Half an hour later, Chaoyang discovered that Judy was not joking, but that there was actually a sightseeing bus available in the north of the city! Not only that, there are really a lot of tourists coming here!

And the businessmen who run this road are very attentive. For example, the carriage used to carry passengers has four horses pulling it. The carriage is very spacious and can accommodate almost twelve people. In order to ensure the view, the carriage has only one roof and is surrounded by Without any obstruction, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery around you.

"I didn't expect... Brilliant Castle is still a tourist city." After buying the ticket and getting on the bus, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course not." Dane smiled, "Only the rich people in the Old World would see the fog at close range as a pastime. After all, they are far away from the wilderness and are accustomed to the comfort and prosperity of big cities. Forgot what danger feels like.”

Chaoyang looked at the other passengers in the carriage and found that Dan was absolutely right.

These people were obviously not residents of Brilliant Castle. They were all well-dressed. The men all wore patterned shirts or sheepskin vests, and the leather shoes on their feet were also polished. Women basically wear long skirts and burqas, sun hats, and bright pendants hanging from their necks and ears.

Look at the driver driving the horse, as well as the workers washing cars and feeding horses nearby...it seems as if the two are not from the same world.

"Sit down, ladies and gentlemen, we're leaving right away!" Following the tour guide's whistle, the carriage started slowly and headed north along the cement floor below.

Brilliant Castle has no city walls in this direction, and the surrounding houses quickly become sparse and low, replaced by patches of farmland. Not far from the cement road, Chaoyang could see four parallel train tracks spreading across the land and connecting with the factory area to the east.

"Where does this road lead?" he asked Dann curiously.

"It doesn't lead anywhere. It was built specifically for tourists to watch the mist. The end is on a hillside." The latter replied, "The transportation here is all by train. Of course... most people don't want to go out."

"Brilliant Castle is not the only city in the New World, right?"

"Of course not, it is a bridgehead. There are five more bridgeheads like this in the New World, and they are basically close to the sea. Going further inland, there are outpost cities. The one closest to us is called the Dulay Ring."

"Look, look!"

"Oh my God, what is that?"

"It's like a wall!"

The conversation among the passengers in the car suddenly became excited.

Chaoyang noticed that a huge wall of fog suddenly appeared in the originally foggy countryside! It almost rises from the ground to the sky, and it is so majestic that it is breathtaking. He could clearly see many details on the fog wall, such as the layers of gaseous surfaces that looked like a layer of cake, each layer being at least three or four stories high.

Such a solid wall of fog should be clearly visible in the city. Why couldn't he see its entirety until now?

"Everyone, this is the strangest part of the fog! It appears and disappears suddenly!" the tour guide introduced loudly, "If you look farther away, it is just a hazy mist. When you cross the border, it will instantly become A ridge!”

As the carriage continued to run, the second and third fog walls soon appeared one after another - or in other words, they were originally there, but they suddenly appeared due to the change in perspective.

Chaoyang felt a strong sense of depression.

The hazy wilderness in front of us no longer existed, replaced by walls of fog in all directions, which were connected to each other to form a well-organized fold line.

"What will happen if we rush into the fog?" a passenger asked.

"You will lose your way forever and never find your way home again!" the tour guide said in a deliberately scary tone. "This is not the most terrifying thing. There are ferocious beasts, monsters that distort common sense... and evil hidden in the fog. Hidden Mist Cultists, if you encounter them, the end will be worse than death!"

The faces of the tourists all showed expressions of fear.

"Is it true?" Chaoyang asked Dan En in a low voice.

"Half-truth and half-falsehood. The fog mainly blocks your line of sight. If you don't go in far, you can still come out by walking in one direction. Moreover, all navigation tools will fail in the fog. Once you lose your way, there is basically nothing." Correction possible.”

"Then how do people get deep into the interior?"

"I know this, it depends on the spiritual lamp." Judy replied, "Although it is a lamp, it actually uses a special kind of coral stone that is only found in the sea."

"Coral?" Chaoyang couldn't understand. Why can coral be used as a fog light?

"I also heard it from others. It is said that this kind of coral stone can dispel the fog and emit a faint blue light in the fog, so some people call it the moonstone. It is also a major selling point for tourism merchants." Judy is obviously interested in it. The sightseeing process is quite familiar. “You will be able to see this stone later and buy one as a souvenir!”
