Chapter 223 Hotbed

"There are always people in this world who think they are smarter than others."

In the Archdiocese, in Lao Le's yard, an old man and a young man were eating watermelon.

Since coming to Twilight as a priest, Levi has been living a very leisurely life.

He basically doesn't have to think about anything, and walks around the center with Lao Le every day.

On the surface, this city is much more civilized and harmonious than other underground cities in the East District. Those specially recruited graduates who have awakened to the rules because of the college incident seem to have completely lost their threat and no chaos broke out when the Progress Society is completely controlled by the cabinet in private.

And the illegal refugees who fled from other cities in the East District, accompanied by the cabinet's strong order, the new immigration bill passed by the Political Council, and the strict enforcement of the Criminal Department, the city that suddenly became crowded and chaotic was slowly sorted out at this time, and all the illegal immigrants were sent back to their place of origin. During this period, although these people committed some small crimes in the middle, they did not expand into bigger troubles.

At the same time, the cleanup of the Green Day remnants within the central government has also come to an end. Some of the hidden agents left by the Green Day in various organizations have been found, which has relaxed the tense atmosphere in the city. The cabinet finally has the time and energy to propose how to solve the recent frequent rebellion problems in the East District.

This underground city, the largest city of human beings, seems to be moving in a good direction.

But after Levi followed Lao Le to observe the entire four districts of the central government, he felt that it was far from thriving as it appeared on the surface.

The problem of specially recruited graduates has not been completely solved. Chen Guangsheng has completely established his foothold in the underground forces of the central government. He is just still in the stage of observation and hiding from the limelight, and has not begun to try to contact those specially recruited graduates who are dissatisfied with the status quo.

The problem of immigration to the central government seemed to have been solved. All illegal refugees were sent back to their original places. This approach preserved the stability of the central government, but in fact it greatly damaged the city's prestige in the East District. Those refugees were all powerful people in their original hometowns. They almost sold their property in their hometowns and came to the central government with their families to seek asylum, but were eventually driven back. This approach will undoubtedly make them resent the central government. It is even possible that there are no special students in their own cities to rebel. They will take the initiative to declare that they will break away from the control of the central government and return to the independent state of the old century. Although the cabinet has completed the internal investigation, it is a fantasy to want to return to government affairs more efficiently. There are fierce party struggles in the central government itself. The conflict between the Republicans and the Conservatives has even spread to the college, indirectly leading to the death of a prince. It can be seen that the two factions are incompatible. This kind of factional struggle has lasted for decades, and even involved major research institutes, forcing scientists and the chosen ones to choose their teams, making the laboratories that should have been extraordinary and otherworldly become full of intrigue.

The situation in other cities in the East District was even worse because no one stopped it during this period, and the rebellion began to spread everywhere.

The central government has long been in danger. Levi felt that even if no one interfered in the future, the cabinet and the royal family would gradually lose control of other cities, unless they abandoned internal contradictions and sent out the pampered chosen ones in the central government to deal with the rebellion with thunder before the special recruits developed and rose. There might be a reason.

But looking at the current situation, the central government is already a little overwhelmed.

Listening to Lao Le's words beside him, Levi sat on a small bench beside him and took a bite of iced watermelon. He did not respond to the inexplicable sigh, but asked.

"I've been following you around for so many days. Does this help me see Twilight?"

Of course, he hasn't forgotten why he originally found the church.

Lao Le is an old man he met in this game, and he's quite pleasing to the eye, but he's here to do a mission, not to socialize with people of different ages. After so many days, of course he has to ask about business.

Lao Le turned his head and looked at Levi.

I don't know if it was Levi's illusion, but he felt that compared to the first time he saw this old man more than ten days ago, he had become thinner and older, but his eyes were obviously getting brighter and brighter, and his spirits were getting better and better.

"How can it not help?"

He said with a smile.

"When you first came to the church, I told you that paradise is twilight, and twilight is paradise. There is no difference between the two things. It's just that if paradise spreads and spreads, it takes time. If you want to see the most fundamental twilight, you need to wait for paradise to spread thoroughly in this city and make it a suitable hotbed before twilight itself can appear."

Levi has also studied the doctrine of twilight these days. He is not an intern walking pastor for nothing, but he has not joined the Twilight Project.

"Hotbed? Do you mean the world mentioned in the Twilight Gospel that twilight will automatically start after the extinction of mankind?"

"Twilight, the last ray of afterglow before night falls." Lao Le calmly explained the meaning of this term, and shook his head slowly, "But I don't like this word. It's getting dark. What can we do even if we keep this last beam of light? The originally bright sun will eventually go out, let alone a twilight?"

Levi couldn't help but joked.

"Does Pope Twilight actually dislike Twilight?"

Lao Le was not surprised at all that he could guess his identity. Although he did not directly admit it from beginning to end, he did not deliberately hide anything.

"Not only do I not like it, I have never joined the Twilight Project."

This answer made Li Wei a little stunned. He looked at Lao Le. It was like a restaurant owner who never eats his own home-cooked food or a tea shop owner who never drinks his own home-made tea. It makes people have to treat their own things. Create doubt.

Lao Le naturally saw what Li Wei was suspicious of, and he chuckled.

"Don't have any doubts about Twilight. There is indeed nothing wrong with this plan, and its intentions are indeed good. Although the church has lost its doctrine in the past, it has never polluted Twilight."

"The position of the Pope was forcibly attached to my head because of fear. The thing they restrained me was the twilight, just like no prisoner would like the shackles on his body. No matter whether I am the Pope or not, I will not Might like that stuff.”

Lao Le was just chatting, telling Li Wei some secrets that most people in the Central Committee didn't understand.

"Besides, I don't like Twilight's teachings that encourage people to obey in this world and look forward to the next life. Church preaching can indeed make some evil people change their ways, but most of them make those at the bottom mediocre for the rest of their lives. , completely without bloodiness and resistance.”

Lao Le's remarks made Li Wei agree with him very much. He felt the same way after he first learned about Twilight's teachings in the border city of the sun.

"But let's not mention Twilight's teachings, just the Twilight Plan itself. It is indeed a genius initiative."

Lao Le didn't shy away from his praise.

"In addition to the brain nervous system that brings together all the nervous systems willing to join the Twilight Project, the conscious world that can accommodate these nervous systems is also a quite amazing experiment and discovery. Under normal circumstances, human nerves cannot represent complete memories at all. Even if there is a complete memory, the memory cannot be the same as the same person as before, but the world that can accommodate Twilight can do this, which is the prerequisite for Twilight's emergence. "

After Lao Le returned to the topic, Li Wei understood the meaning of his words.

"Are you saying that if we want to see Twilight in the real world, we must first transform the world into a place where Twilight can exist?"

"There is no need to transform the whole world. That kind of workload is too ambitious. Some things are actually not that complicated, and the core principles are quite simple. Strictly speaking, every space in the underground cities where humans live now is divided of."

Lao Le motioned to Levi to look at the central edge, the slope barrier covered by woods.

"The barriers on all sides and the domes on the light clouds divide all the cities into spaces similar to honeycombs. As for the cross-city tunnels, they cannot be considered as truly connecting the cities, because there is still disorder in the tunnels. rules, so for people living in this city, this city is actually equivalent to the whole world.”

At this time, Levi finally understood why the church was so active in promoting the paradise project. He turned his head and looked directly at Lao Le.

"Do you want to use the paradise to transform this city into an environment where Twilight can appear?"

But Lao Le did not answer this question directly. He just relaxed on the recliner and said calmly.

"I just borrowed the power of the Twilight Church and invaded the city little by little using the paradise that was once a big man's domain. Now the changes have begun, but if I want to meet the conditions for the coming of Twilight, I still have to You need to do something yourself.”

Levi was a little curious.

"What else am I going to do?"

Lao Le said leisurely.

"According to the rules in Twilight, good guys and bad guys will be distinguished, and the extremely evil ones will also be punished. The paradise covers the city, and only superficial punishments can be carried out. In fact, the status and identity of the person in a high position remain the same. Nothing changes and this requires human intervention.”

"You don't need to interfere with everything. You only need to intervene in some things that you can manage after tonight and that you can't stand. I will prepare the other things."

At the moment when Lao Le said these words, a task prompt popped up in the player information in Li Wei's mind for the first time in a long time.
