Attention

The Duke's Merchant Guild, which should have evacuated Loop City, would remain there for another five days due to special circumstances. However, the guild would not conduct any transactions during that time.

Not only that, the three major transportation companies—Rongchang, Black Roundworm, and Mediator—had all adopted somewhat unusual operating methods these past few days. They had cut off several less important trade routes while transferring large amounts of materials from outlying warehouses to their headquarters.

In addition, centered around Loop City, a rumor had begun spreading throughout the Old World.

The rumor claimed that a new moon would rise over Loop City in five days.

Although all the Sick Ones knew perfectly well that the sun and moon could no longer appear in the Old World, most merely treated the rumor as a joke, or as some sort of marketing tactic by Loop City.

But there were still people who believed it, especially among the races that had worshiped the moon since ancient times. Quite a few traveled thousands of miles to reach Loop City.

Because Loop City had recently been sealed off and barred entry, they built nests outside the city, set up tents like humans, or simply rested among the woods by the roadside.

There were quite a few people who had come to witness the miracle. In just two days, several rings had already formed outside Loop City, and the notion of the "best Moon Viewing Area" had even emerged.

Some Sick Ones who called themselves Psyche Prophets raised their brains high, attempting to sense what was happening inside the city. Although they had been blocked, they still claimed to have sensed the moon's existence.

There were even prophets who declared that once the new moon rose, it would mean the Old World was about to break
