Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Compared to ordinary robots, Schwarz is clearly a bit higher class.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Fang Rui looked at the tightly closed iron gate. Without even looking for the key or giving Sang Bo a chance to explain, he directly steered his motorcycle into the gate.

"..." Without saying a word, Sangbo curled up and gripped the motorcycle tightly.

“(⊙o⊙) Wow!” March 7th screamed, but you could hear a hint of excitement in her voice.

Fang Rui gently touched the button next to the left brake, and an energy shield unfolded, enveloping the entire motorcycle to ensure the safety of the three people.

next second...

boom----

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, a motorcycle sped through the area filled with tents, crashing into the sturdy iron gate and sending shattered rocks and pieces of iron flying through the air.

People stared in disbelief as the robot emitted a sharp, piercing alarm that echoed through the valley like a landslide.

In the central area of ​​the mechanical settlement, Swaro, preparing to leave the settlement and head to the mining area, looked up. His electronic eyes flickered slightly as he looked towards the entrance.

"There are enemies!"

The robots, scattered throughout the mechanical settlement, moved rapidly and converged on the central plaza.

People realized the problem and, without hesitation, fled in the direction away from the central square.

呲——

The motorcycle was parked in the center of the square. Sambo jumped off the motorcycle, trembling, and touched his chest, feeling his heart pounding violently.

"That was so exciting!"

March 7th stood beside the motorcycle, her gaze sweeping around. A restless atmosphere emanated from all directions, and robots of various shapes appeared in her field of vision.

These robots did not attack; they merely surrounded Fang Rui and his group, seemingly awaiting orders.

Fang Rui did not put away the motorcycle. Instead, he activated the transformation function of the Heavy Bunny, turning it into a half-robot that floated in the air, like a guardian spirit behind Fang Rui.

The humanoid robot, Schwarz, slowly walked from the direction of the mansion, without any other people accompanying it.

"Intruders, state your purpose."

"I'd like to know if you know anything about the Star Core. If you do, please tell us."

"Intelligence related to the star core is top secret. The handling method has been changed to eliminate the target..."

Mechanical sounds echoed in all directions, and the robots became restless. Robots with long-range attack capabilities immediately opened fire, and shells rained down from the sky.

"(⊙o⊙)Wow!" Sangbo exclaimed in surprise, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned and ran away.

Fang Rui quickly reached out and grabbed him, also stopping March 7 from casting a shield. The heavily armed bunny, now in robot form, raised its mechanical arm, and a hemispherical shield enveloped the three of them.

All the shells were blocked by the shield, and the scorching flames expanded and compressed outside the shield.

"Phew! That was terrifying!" Sangbo clutched his chest. The moment Fang Rui grabbed him, his past experiences flashed through his mind, and he was almost ready to beg for mercy.

"...That was really exciting!" March 7th was also clutching his chest; all those shells earlier were truly terrifying.

"Get ready, the real battle is about to begin!"

As they spoke, a bunch of robots, each wielding a chainsaw, rushed to the shield, swung their mechanical arms, and slashed at the shield with their chainsaws.

The expected scene did not occur. Instead, the Heavy Bunny picked up March 7 and Sambo and flew into the sky, then threw them with great force towards Schwarzlo.

Fang Rui's speed was incredibly fast. He accelerated to a speed that the robots couldn't keep up with, kicking away all the robots blocking his way and arriving in front of Schwarzro in an instant.

bang bang bang...

Within a second, dozens of impacts rang out almost simultaneously, and dozens of dents instantly appeared on Schwarzro's body surface. Surrounded by dozens of fault alarm messages, Schwarzro immediately knelt on one knee and entered self-check mode.

"Honestly, why are you so excited? I just wanted to ask you for some information."

Fang Rui reached out and caught the two people who were thrown over by the Heavy Bunny.

The two men, whose collars were being held by Fang Rui, were staring at each other silently, as if they wanted to say something, while the other man looked pained.

Sangbo is quite tall, so even though Fang Rui grabbed him by the collar, his feet still landed on the ground.

Considering the suddenness of the incident and the fact that the heavy-duty bunny was thrown with considerable force...

Well, Sambo probably won't be able to move around freely for at least half a month.

"Uh, I'll treat you in a bit." Seeing Sangbo's contorted face, she slapped him on the chest, and the healing energy slowly spread, causing Sangbo's injuries to recover rapidly.

"What a torment!" With the pain gone, Sambo's face returned to normal, and he sighed softly.

Releasing his grip on Sambo's collar, Fang Rui looked at Schwarz and said, "Now... let's talk! Tell me everything about the Star Core!"

“According to statistics, most people who are looking for star cores are probably craving the power of star cores…” Swaro did not explicitly refuse, but his words were full of rejection.

"I'm not bragging, but I don't really care about the power of a mere star core. After all, I'm stronger, so you don't need to worry so much. If I really want to do something, I can do it without a star core..."

As he spoke, he manipulated the Heavy Bunny to transform, and a machine gun with enough power to destroy an interstellar warship appeared in Schwarz's field of vision. The energy fluctuations it emitted kept Schwarz's danger alarm going off.

"I believe you. I will tell you everything about the star core."

Persuaded, Schwarzro began playing the audio recording. Fang Rui watched the video, lost in thought.

The information revealed in the video indicates that the star core has been on the planet for a long time, but it was sealed away.

Later, the seal on the star core was broken, a cold wave descended, and everything on the surface was frozen.

"Then... who broke the seal on the star core that was originally sealed?"

As Fang Rui spoke, he turned his gaze to Schwarz, hoping that Schwarz would provide an answer.

"A guardian, or a researcher?" March 7th guessed.

It is obvious that only a portion of the high-ranking officials have access to the star core, so the problem with the star core must be related to the high-ranking officials.

"So, the current Great Guardian should know where the Star Core is, and at the same time..."

"He might have a problem!"

"Don't think the worst!" March 7th advised. "We should try to think positively. It's such a good thing that everyone works together to solve the problem."

"Unlikely. The relationship between the upper and lower districts is quite poor. They might even fight if they meet. Working together... is unlikely."

Sambo slowly shook his head. "Especially with the current ruler, Jepard is single-minded and only follows orders. Bronya has a high probability of succeeding as the Guardian, and she trusts the current Guardian very much. And the current Guardian, Cocolia..."

"...The conflict between the upper and lower districts was caused by her."

“You know a lot!” March 7th was a little surprised.

“A businessman, of course, needs to be aware of all kinds of information,” Sambo said, shrugging.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say?" Fang Rui's expression was strange; he seemed to have heard two familiar names.

What do Bronya and Cocolia mean?!

'Same name, same surname?!'

'No, given the way the tree and the sea behave, it's possible they share the same name, the same appearance, and even similarities in personality and fate.'

"Huh?" Sangbo was stunned. Did I say anything important earlier?

It seems that it said...

"Tell me about Cocolia and Bronya in detail, and photos would be even better..."

Before Sangbo could ask anything, Fang Rui spoke first about what he was curious about.

Sambo: "…………" Where am I supposed to find their photos for you!

Belloberg's technology appears to be at a medieval stage, but...

Post-disaster reconstruction differs from normal civilization development. Machines like televisions and cameras exist in Belleburg, but the problem is…

Who would take photos of Bellowberg's top two leaders for no reason?

To be precise, these two people... cannot be photographed without permission.

If someone takes photos secretly, they'll probably get caught.

“I have Cocolia’s photos,” Swallow suddenly said.

After he finished speaking, he started playing the video.

If you calculate the timeline, it's reasonable that Schwarz was already active before the upper and lower zones were separated, and that Cocolia had been a guardian for some time. It's quite logical that Schwarz had met Cocolia before.

“Looking at it…” March 7th frowned, “there’s nothing wrong with it.”

"Yes, I've confirmed it, she definitely has a problem."

Although there are some differences, she should be... "Cocolia". Given the lazy behavior of the trees and the sea, "Cocolia's" fate will not... deviate!

In other words, it was destined that Cocolia would be the villain.

As for other situations...

I'll wait until I confirm that my preconceived notions are problematic before I say anything more.

"Huh? Huh! How did you confirm that?!" March 7th was very surprised.

"It's not convenient to say, but I can say the probability is over fifty percent!"

Fang Rui didn't explain, but instead looked at Schwarzro and said, "I need your help."

"What do you need me to do?" Swallow asked without asking why, but instead inquired about what he needed to do.

"Gather the mechanical soldiers and come with me to the upper area. Now that the target has been identified, we need to prepare for action."

Upon hearing Fang Rui's words, March 7th jumped up and said, "Wait, wait, wait, you... you don't mean to use force to subdue the upper district, do you?"

"No, my goal is simple: to bring Cocolia's problems to the forefront..."

"Wait a minute, if Cocolia really is the mastermind, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to provoke her, especially in Beloberg?"

“Belloberg has so many ordinary people.”

Regarding March 7's concerns, Fang Rui explained, "It's very simple. I can defeat Cocolia in an instant, there won't be any problem."

“But what about the star core?” March 7th asked another question.

"Cocolia is connected to the Star Core. If she's captured, will the Star Core remain where it is?"

The star core is very special; it seems to have no ability to move, but it has other ways to move itself...

There's a saying that goes, "If a star's core can corrupt one person, it can corrupt a second."
