Honkai Impact: Star Railway: I'm really not a Star God!

Ling Kong: Cough cough cough, something just happened, what's wrong? Little March.

Xing: You have a child? You didn't kidnap one with Sambo, did you?

After opening the picture sent by Ling Kong, the three of them pondered for a moment.

The photo shows a cute little girl with white hair and red eyes, barefoot, posing with Ling Kong in the snow.

The little girl looked at the camera with a slightly shy expression. She was a little curious and a little timid about the new thing, and there was a little milky white substance left at the corner of her mouth.

March 7th: I'm going to call the police.

Xing: Are there any police here?

Danheng: We can consider it.

This is utterly a distortion of humanity! A moral decay!

It was such a freezing cold! Ling Kong watched helplessly as the little girl stood barefoot on the snow!

Don't you know how to protect her?! Quickly, shove her into my arms! (Just kidding)

Ling Kong: What are you thinking about? This girl has some protective power, so she's not afraid of the cold. To be honest, I actually followed Sangbo down here, and we're going to visit a place called the Mechanical Settlement.

March 7th: What about the news from the upper district?

Ling Kong: Don't worry, my friend will handle things properly. I can absolutely trust this friend. As for Sambo... at least he won't harm you.

When March 7 saw the word "friends," she glanced at Sangbo, who was still searching for people, out of the corner of her eye.

In any case, it should be more reliable than this.

Having confirmed their presence in mid-air, the three suddenly heard a commotion coming from the platform on the stairs, and it sounded... somewhat familiar?

Sambo, in particular, froze for a moment and turned around abruptly.

......

When Bronya woke up, she looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. While the doctor was changing her dressing, she quickly ran out of the clinic.

"This place...the lower level...?"

Looking at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar surroundings, Bronya felt a headache coming on. In the last moment of her memory, she seemed to see Sambo's figure.

My fist clenched.

Bronya, completely unfamiliar with the lower levels, wandered around aimlessly like a headless fly.

What puzzled her was why the residents of the lower districts would keep their distance from her whenever they saw her. Had the Silvermane Iron Guards done something to them?

"Mom, that lady is so pretty."

Looking in the direction of the sound, Bronya saw a little girl looking at her with curiosity.

Unlike other children her age in the upper district, the girl had sallow skin and wore tattered clothes, something unimaginable in the upper district.

"Hi..."

Bronya instinctively wanted to greet her, but after the woman with her saw what she was wearing, she pulled the girl back as if she were a venomous snake, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at Bronya.

Common sense in the lower levels: Iron Guard ≠ Good Person.

"I..."

Bronya took a step forward, and the two of them took a step back.

Realizing something was wrong, Bronya swallowed the words she wanted to say. She hesitated, and the girl's innocent gaze fell on her, burning like fire. After a struggle, Bronya turned into a side alley under the woman's wary gaze.

"Mom, why did the older sister run away?"

"Child...you must know...we once had the sky too."

In the alley, Bronya slowly sat down on the ground, pressed against the wall. The lower level... how could it be like this...?

This is different from what her mother told her...

Recalling the orders Cocolia had given her and the intense training she had undergone since childhood, she felt a sense of confusion.

"Can I...really?"

Witnessing the appalling living conditions of the people in the lower tiers severely impacted Bronya's worldview.

Before she knew it, Bronya had walked into a dead end.

"Boss! It's her! They said the Silver Mane Iron Guard they saw was her!"

"The Silvermane Iron Guards have finally met their match? We've got our chance! We've been wanting to teach these ungrateful bastards a lesson for a long time!"

Hearing the voice behind her, Bronya hurriedly turned around and found herself surrounded by several vagrants.

He had left his weapon inside the clinic.

Bronya's expression showed a rare hint of panic, and she quickly shouted.

"who are you?!"

"You still want to know who we are? It's none of your business! All you need to know is... you're not getting away with this today!"

"Oh, judging by his appearance, he's a high-ranking Iron Guard. I wonder if we can use him to blackmail them into opening the passage... or at least get some reward money..."

Backed into a corner, Bronya kept thinking about how to escape. She clenched her fists, preparing to seize an opportunity to break free.

As the commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard, she is no mere figurehead.

But these homeless people were much better equipped than she was.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Attacking the Silvermane Iron Guards! That's a capital offense!"

"Death?! You hypocrites from the upper echelons! You just want us dead!?"

Meanwhile, on the nearby stairs, the three train crew members, along with Sambo, who had heard the commotion, all ran up.

Sambo's face fell when he saw Bronya confronting the wanderer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't just stand by and do nothing! We absolutely can't let this escalate..."

Upon hearing this, March 7th put his hands on his hips, as if he had seized an opportunity.

Now that you mention it, I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing you suffer.

"We'd better not attract too much attention, but we can't just leave the child alone."

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Xing frowned.

"Sambo is right, we can't stand idly by."

Just as they were about to step forward to help Bronya, the situation changed drastically.

The leader of the wanderers glared fiercely at Bronya, aimed his musket at her, and fired a shot.

clang!

The sounds of gunfire and the clanging of metal mingled together, and countless phantom-like butterflies began to gather around.

The butterfly instantly enveloped the bullet, and a graceful figure appeared in the air. The blue-haired girl wielding a scythe cleaved the bullet in two and stood in front of Bronya.

Her gaze sharpened, and a fierce look instantly appeared in her eyes. The leading vagrant was so frightened by this look that he almost fell to the ground.

"Dare to make a move on my turf... Want to exchange a few more blows?"

A sickle stood before them, and the homeless men felt a chill run down their necks.

It seemed that all it took was a slight thought from the blue-haired girl, and their heads would roll.

"Oh no! Run!"

Seeing that things were going badly, the vagrants immediately ran away, while the blue-haired girl said disdainfully.

"A cowardly scoundrel who bullies the weak and fears the strong!"

The author adjusted their mindset and revised this chapter, making the character development more reasonable.

Chapter 52 The Shocking Star

"Miss Seele! Phew, thank goodness you intervened in time, I'm so grateful!"

Seeing Seele save the day, Sambo pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, and the train trio also breathed a sigh of relief.

"These vagrants are really arrogant, daring to start a fight on Di Huo's territory!"

Seele noticed Sangbo's indignant expression and said something without any hesitation.

"Shut up, Sambo. You're not immune to this either. Earthfire has a ton of problems to deal with right now. Do you have to add to the chaos?"

Sambo nodded obediently.

Who knows if he was agreeing with Seele or saying he was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

Ignoring Sambo, Seele looked at the silver-haired girl, a Silvermane Iron Guard, a rare sight in the lower districts.

"I heard a Silvermane Iron Guard has come to the lower districts... Is that you?"

"What are you trying to do by kidnapping me and taking me underground?"

Hearing Bronya say that, Seele's eyes were filled with undisguised sarcasm.

Growing up in such an environment, Seele possesses a wild and beautiful charm.

"Hmph, what exactly is she plotting... She thinks she's still some kind of pampered young lady."

"It's comfortable to be on the ground, right? Do you know what's happening underground? Have you ever considered the lives of the people down there?"

Seele's barrage of questions shut Bronya down, but Bronya still wouldn't allow the Silvermane Iron Guard to be spoken to like that.

"The Silvermane Iron Guards don't stay comfortably on the ground. They are constantly fighting enemies, defending Beloborg from monsters... protecting everyone above and below ground."

"Hey, all talk and no action. What have you been protecting underground? You've deployed all the Iron Guards up there, blocked all the passageways, and all that's supposed to be protecting the so-called city builders, isn't it?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Sambo looked left and right, and who knew if he was watching the spectacle or genuinely worried that the two would fight.

The three train crew members remained spectators, as it seemed they had no opportunity to speak up.

"The Guardian has her reasons..."

Knowing that Bronya had nothing to say, Seele didn't make things difficult for her. After giving a cold snort, she was about to take Bronya away.
