Somus nest is waking up. Although it will not really sleep as a city with an extremely expanding population, it still has a cycle of ebb and flow.

In the city center, the pulse of life is more obvious.

The market gradually opened, merchants were Hawking, and loud priests led the morning prayers, pushing carts and burden peddlers through the open squares, winding alleys and stone paved streets.

Zorg retraced his previous route and tried to recall his impression of the whole city layout when he first came here.

Passing vendors and old people recognized his class and made a gesture of respect for him.

He responded with the same gesture.

Now zorg wants to enter the suburb in the north of the middle layer of chaodu, where there is an organization responsible for low orbit transportation statistics, from which he can obtain the data of low orbit transportation space used by the spacecraft of star knights in recent years, so as to analyze the general situation of each other's actual compilation.

In fact, during this period of investigation, he has vaguely realized that the actual number of star Knights must have exceeded 200.

There is no doubt that a battle group with only 33 people driven out of the home planet can never recover to such a number in such a short time, so there is only one explanation——

The star Knight did the same thing as the star claw in the past and swallowed the remnants of a battle group.

When he found enough evidence, he didn't know whether the judges would appreciate his efforts.

Zorg smiled strangely at the thought of the ironic picture.

Then he backed down to the street and let a truck pass.

Sweepers and machine servants clean slate roads with brooms and buckets of water, and shovel away garbage with dustpans - they work and sing ugly songs.

The city's walls inlaid with painted pottery glittered in the morning light, and bright pottery made up various patterns.

Zorg saw one of the symbols, a double headed eagle made of bright red ceramics. The trained mind was very sure that he had never seen this before.

It also means that he may have taken the wrong turn.

The terrain of the nest is so complex, so many times, the general layout is difficult to remember, just like a cobweb.

Suddenly, zorg stopped and thought about it.

The compass in his mind was confused. He looked at the rising sun and determined which side was East and which side was west.

He slowed down his breathing and let himself sweat for a while to stabilize his condition.

Soon, the spy recovered.

He just walked one more street to the west, that's all. The destination was on his left.

But in fact, when he walked over, he found that it was not so.

His sense of direction rarely went wrong.

Zorg stopped again and resisted the panic that gradually penetrated into his heart.

A water vendor came up and sold him a bottle of purified water.

"No, thank you."

Zorg politely refused.

"May the emperor still love you."

The vendor replied and went on.

Hearing this, zorg trembled.

What happened to me?

Zorg thought that the last time he came here, he easily crossed the streets.

But this time, like a novice, his head was spinning.

This... This is stupid.

He then crossed two busy streets in search of familiar landmarks.

But it seems that the target is farther and farther away from him, as if something is interfering with him and affecting his ability.

On a whim, he put his hand into the small bag on his belt and pinched out the gem hidden in it.

It's about the size of a man's earlobe. It's given to him by his master. It's a very precious "spirit detecting stone", which will respond to spiritual energy.

If it gets hot or shows any signs of dryness, it means there is psionic activity nearby.

Zorg looked at the dark purple gem, which was always warm and dry under the influence of his own power.

But now, the gem in his hand became hot, like burning coal, and shrunk seriously.

He's in trouble.

The gem was warning him that something was nearby and might be hunting him.

"Leave first."

He walked along the street, feeling as uneasy and lost as before.

Then he quickly walked into a square where the crowd was relatively sparse. He hoped that the loose space would help him clear his mind and perhaps let him find out the psionic activities detected by the gem.

But his mind stubbornly refused to become clear.

Suddenly, zorg stopped and slowly raised his eyes.

He was standing in front of a church. Under the high lintel of the temple, there were sculptures made of brass, showing the images of emperors and angels.

What a terrible mistake, what a stupid wrong way brought him here?

This is the area in the whole city that he doesn't want to visit actively. While he looks at it, all the statues seem to be pulsating and stretching, pressing his eyes into his head.

The sun was anxious and dazzling. He retched, but immediately pressed down the hot reflux from his stomach.

His penetration into the city was completely different from that before, as if the city had detected him as an intruder and turned into a big net to catch him.

Some people, some things, are playing with him.

He still couldn't help vomiting, so zorg hurried into an alley next to the temple square, stood in the shadow, bent down and released sour liquid.

Gastric juice spewed out of his throat.

In his weakness, he fell to his knees, shivering and spitting sour water.

Suddenly, two people, who were only dark shadows before, began to walk towards him along the alley.

They are not in a hurry, but there is a posture full of purpose and urgency in their steps.

Zorg immediately stood up and walked in the opposite direction, equally purposeful and unhurried.

Three more people appeared at the entrance of the alley on the other side and walked towards him along the slender and winding alley.

Who are they? rank-and-file soldiers? Law enforcement officer? Judge? Still——

Without much thought, zorg noticed several branches on the side of the alley, so he quickened his pace and turned into the first fork. When he disappeared from the sight of those approaching, he immediately ran.

Soon, he left the alley and came to a strange place.

This is a garden.

In the process of observing the environment, the leaves on his head suddenly trembled in a thin breeze.

Zorg put his backpack on his shoulder and walked quickly through the woodland to find an open area where he could see the sky. He remembered this place - he had hidden in the beautiful garden before, curled up on the lawn behind a tall tree, and tried to relax his mind with some sleep and rest.

But as he moved, a disturbance touched his mind.

The sudden agitation of his heart gathered into a piercing pain between his eyes, which almost appeared before the tinnitus.

Although I don't know what happened, one thing seems certain - there is a new enemy, a new threat approaching rapidly.

Zorg was forced to explore his mind. He had to extract something that could be used for him and some information that could give him the upper hand in the following time.

If he can foresee what will happen next, he can decide where to hide and what identity to disguise.

At first he found nothing.

Zorg tried to spy for more detailed information.

Finally, he found something, but it made him cry out and flinch immediately.

He came into contact with a separate mind, a dark existence, a thing belonging to midnight, which was different from any mind he had ever come into contact with before.

It is very wild, dark, so hot, disgusting, extremely dense and aggressive.
