Chapter 1648: Chapter 1646 Arkham
Arkham
S-01, the world’s largest neutral city, also known as the "City of the World".
Any lifeform can freely enter and exit this city,
However, once you set foot in this highly inclusive city, you must follow the internal rules and not cross specific boundaries.
Although the restrictions in a neutral city are relatively lenient,
there exists a hidden set of rules in Arkham. If you fail to follow them or exceed certain limits on specific matters, the city will directly devour you.
That’s right.
Throughout history, many have tried to cause trouble in Arkham, or some fugitives have attempted to seek refuge in Arkham, only to disappear without a trace.
Because of this, Arkham City is filled with many terrifying legends.
These legends, circulating in every street and alley, along with real cases of missing individuals, keep this demon city surprisingly orderly despite its expected chaos.
Of course.
Such a large, highly inclusive, and commercially strong city naturally has hidden managers.
It is rumored that behind Arkham City, there are at least five Old Kings involved, even involving Middle Rank beings, who have set up city management methods through mutual restrictions.
Should Arkham face a threat or significant turmoil, it might draw the personal descent of the "Old King".
...
The group crossed half the universe via Mi University’s transfer matrix, reaching the star region where Arkham City is located.
This largest neutral city is built on the surface of a planet with an ecosystem similar to Earth’s, also having a single constant star ensuring the temperature difference between day and night does not exceed 40°C.
This planet is also named Arkham Star due to the city.
Whoosh!
The group appeared directly on the planet’s surface, in the farm area less than five kilometers from Arkham City.
Various oddly-shaped fruits grow here,
and a living cargo truck automatically harvests them in the farm, delivering to Arkham City once full.
Pope asked, "Nicholas, you probably haven’t been to alien star regions often, right?"
"If the Black Forest doesn’t count, this is indeed my first time visiting an alien planet managed by demons."
"Let me give you a brief overview.
Due to Arkham’s size taking up about 1/5 of the planet’s total area, and the highly inclusive outer management measures, the number of demons active inside consistently remains at a trillion level.
Thus, the other areas of the planet are transformed into farms to provide sufficient supplies, especially food, for Arkham.
The internal structure and system of Arkham will exceed your imagination; its existence perfectly represents our understanding of the ’Rule Sequence’ in demonic society and vividly expresses a diverse inclusivity.
However, we probably won’t stay too long. Once we confirm the intelligence, we will leave.
Particularly, I warn you,
Arkham has maintained its status as a ’neutral and unordered’ city for tens of thousands of years and has become the universe’s largest neutral city mainly due to the existence of terrifying things on its dark side.
Try not to act alone; if you run into trouble, it could cost a lot of time."
"Mm."
Following the direction in which the farm cargo truck travels.
Arkham City, a few kilometers away, is shrouded in dense mist, and it could even be said that the fog nearly divides the entire planet with no visible end.
Additionally.
Since everyone here is a well-known seasoned professor at Mi University, they can be recognized easily.
To conceal their identities, everyone used various methods of disguise.
Dean Dale kept it simple, encasing his body in a dark gold robe while dragging a worm tail resembling a layered rock structure, several meters long, behind him.
Overall, he looked like an ordinary Giant Devouring Worm traveler.
Professor Warren disguised himself as a very common "Moon Beast," with a plump, smooth white belly and pink tentacles drooping from his giant mouth to his chest.
His rather silly eyes stared ahead.
Anyone attempting to read his body information would be misled by ’Whisper’, yielding incorrect information, making his identity almost impossible to reveal.
As for Professor Karen from the School of Pharmacy, her disguise was rather peculiar.
Possibly intentional,
As a snake-person, she used scaly mimicry to transform herself into a tall white-haired woman with a delicate Eastern face... The only sign of her serpentine nature was the soft white tail dragging behind her.
Her body was also semi-covered in a grey cloak,
With her long, white legs almost fully visible, walking barefoot on the ground.
This appearance forced Han Dong to take several glances, but recalling Kouji’s warning, he immediately turned his gaze away... she used to be the executioner, the executor, at Mi University.
『Due to the smooth operation of the London Game, humans have been readmitted to the world.
Moreover, some demons already like to disguise themselves in human form,
Professor Karen’s disguise should be seen as normal rather than intentional.』
As Han Dong was looking for excuses.
He suddenly sensed the gaze of a pair of cold eyes.
He knew very clearly that Professor Karen was staring at him, although the exact reason was unknown.
To alleviate the discomfort, he had to put his arm around Pope.
Unexpectedly.
Upon contact, Han Dong discovered that Pope also adopted a human disguise.
Identical to his appearance in the "Ladybug Game"... his starry brain replaced with a youthful face that bore an old-soul expression, adorned with dazzling hair, and his eyes appeared in a deep-space state.
"Hm, Pope, your disguise?"
"The human skin is quite useful, lightweight, clean, and not easily noticeable."
"Haha, okay then."
Han Dong continued to wear his Bird Beak Mask, only needing to hide his aura.
And so,
The team headed towards Arkham.
Upon entering the mist, all senses were suppressed to the minimum level, even the Demon Eye was limited to a range of a few meters.
Surprisingly, there was no City Wall structure at all,
After passing through the hundred-meter depth of mist, they directly stepped onto the streets of Arkham... As a neutral city, there was no need for something like City Walls.
"What material is this street made of?"
Han Dong lowered his head, carefully observing the grey street beneath his feet, with hardness between rock and a more solidified gel.
The street has an outrageous ’self-cleaning’ ability,
No matter what kind of garbage, liquid, or solid is identified as non-individual matter by the street, it will be absorbed into underground pipes in a short time and transported to underground garbage processing plants for sorting and treatment.
Oddly shaped tall buildings stood on both sides of the street,
Some resembled a conch, with even seawater oozing from the street to ensure the surrounding buildings’ dampness,
Some were just enlarged organs exuding a strong bloody smell,
And others surpassed comprehension, post-modern architecture made from special stones and some biological hard skin stitched together,
etc... Just this street alone encapsulates over twenty different demon cultures. It seems disharmonious, even repulsive, yet tightly interconnected, collectively forming a part of this city.
"Let’s head directly to the ’Information Harbor’; there might be clues we desire there."
