But Gerard’s face showed only calm.
“Oh… it seems you already knew,” Oliver slowly regained his composure, “but that’s to be expected, after all, with so many clues in your possession and with your intelligence, it would be impossible not to figure it out.”
Yes, Gerard had long known the operational logic of Lyra City.
Fundamentally speaking, Lyra City was a city created by the Lyra God to sustain life.
He built His vital organs into tall towers and then used the people of Lyra to connect them.
Every citizen of Lyra was like the blood rushing through the body of this giant.
The streets and gear tracks connecting each tower were the blood vessels.
The grievously wounded Lyra God chose to live in this manner, using human effort to replace His organs that could not be restored.
Thus, He implanted the Rule into the minds of every Lyra citizen, forbidding them to leave, forbidding them to do anything unnecessary.
To stay alive, what He needed most was order and stability.

“Is it that you don’t want to say, or that you know you can’t say?” Gerard continued, “The Lyra God is a broken body, and so this new god, the so-called God of Eternal Life that you speak of, born from the body of Lyra, isn’t He flawed as well? Doesn’t He need the people of Lyra to maintain His body?”
Gerard paused.
“If He doesn’t need them, why then does He frantically devour the corpses from the Polluted Land?”
