Give Star Iron a little MC shock

When did a hole appear in the camp?

Bronya glanced at the hole in confusion, then picked up the paper and looked at its contents.

[Bronya, we have some things to take care of, so we'll head back to Belloberg ahead of schedule.]

"Something's wrong? Something's not right..."

Bronya kept thinking about the hole under the table and felt something was wrong.

After thinking for a moment, he moved the table aside and jumped into the hole in the ground.

She had originally thought that there was no such hole in the camp before, so it must have been dug out recently and shouldn't be too old.

But after walking through the dimly lit cave for several minutes without reaching the end, she began to feel something was amiss.

But she has already walked quite a distance, and if she goes back to call for help to come down, some things may become irreversible.

"I hope nothing bad has happened to Hiluva."

Bronya gripped her gun tightly, forcing herself to overcome her fear of the darkness as she continued forward.

"Phew, finally out! It was so stuffy down there, but it's so cold outside."

The March 7th, which had just emerged from the ground, immediately shrank its neck when the cold wind blew it out.

Xing He reached out and pulled her out of the cave: "If you're still cold, do you want me to give you an iron armor to wear? Although I don't think this iron breastplate will keep you warm."

On March 7th, after recalling Xing He's neatly crafted but somewhat ugly armor in her mind, she immediately shook her head and refused.

"Still not."

After Danheng, who was at the very back, also came out of the cave, the group decided to continue their journey deeper into the snowfield.

However, just as Xing He glanced at the minimap to confirm his location, he noticed that the white dot marking Bronya on the minimap had followed him.

"Xing He, what are you still standing there for? Aren't you going to leave?"

"Don't rush, we still have a tagalong following us."

Chapter 55 Cocolia

"Moonlight? Is this the exit?"

After walking for several minutes in the tunnel, Bronya finally saw a sliver of moonlight shining into the cave ahead and quickly hurried over.

When Bronya cautiously peeked out of the burrow, several weapons were pointed at her.

"Miss Bronya, is stalking legal in Belloborg?"

Bronya's expression darkened when she saw Xing He and the others raise their weapons at her.

"I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be so well hidden. What exactly are you planning to do by kidnapping Shiluva!"

"Kidnapping?"

Hilva paused for a moment, then quickly waved her hand to explain, "No, no, no, Bronya, you misunderstood. I went with them voluntarily; my purpose is the same as theirs."

"Purpose?" Bronya frowned. What could possibly be so worthwhile for them to brave the sub-zero temperatures in the middle of the night to venture out into the depths of the snowfield?

Xiluwa originally intended to explain, but then stopped halfway and turned to look at Xing He and the others with questioning eyes.

Xing He was also hesitant, turning to his companions to ask, "What should we do? Knock her out and leave her here? Or should I just put a boat here and trap her?"

"What's the difference between the two?" March 7 muttered, then glanced around at the surrounding snowfield. "It's dangerous to leave Bronya here alone in this freezing weather, isn't it?"

Xing He scratched his head in annoyance and said to Bronya, "Let's make a deal. Bronya, you can't beat so many of us anyway, so why don't you go back and ask for help first? We won't attack you now."

"impossible."

Bronya resolutely refused. The fact that Xing He and the others were so eager for her to leave meant that what they were about to do was very important.

Bronya would never bow down to anything that could pose a threat to Belloberg!

Seeing Bronya's resolute attitude, Xing He sighed helplessly.

"Should we bring her along? It's good for her to know some things."

Danheng reached out and pulled Bronya out of the hole, then pulled out a rope from somewhere and tied her hands together. He then took out his phone, opened a video, and handed it to Shiluva.

“Miss Shiluva, why don’t you show these video materials to Bronya? After she watches them, she might have a different opinion.”

"it is good."

Hilva nodded, took the phone, and broadcast it in front of Bronya.

Bronya wasn't really interested in watching at first, but when she heard the conversation coming from the phone, her attention involuntarily shifted to the screen.

Before setting off, Xing He didn't forget to take out a block to block the hole.

With Bronya sandwiched in the middle of the group, they slowly continued deeper into the northern part of the snowfield.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Bronya's voice suddenly came from the group.

"Is everything in this video real? Was the cold wave really caused by the Great Guardian activating the Star Core?"

Xing He, who was walking at the front, replied without turning his head: "At least, the guy who provided us with the information has no reason to lie about it, and isn't there a former researcher who studied star cores standing next to you?"

Upon hearing this, Bronya turned to look at Silva, who was holding a phone beside her.

Hilva nodded with a bitter expression: "Bronya, what they said is true... the star core is indeed the culprit behind the cold wave."

"This...it's unbelievable, why did my mother never tell me these things..."

Xing He glanced back at Bronya, who seemed to be having an existential crisis, and comforted her, "As long as the star core is sealed, everything will be alright."

"Yes! Seal the star core!"

Bronya, who had been dejected, immediately perked up, but then looked at Xing He and the others with confusion: "You can seal the star core? Who exactly are you people?"

March 7th stood to the side with a smile on his face, raising his hand to his chest: "We are nameless passengers on the Star Train. You can think of us as professionals at sealing star cores! We came to Yalilo and to Beloborg specifically to seal star cores!"

Hilva also spoke up for Xing He and the others, saying, "Bronya, trust them. You've seen Xing He's amazing abilities before. They'll definitely be able to seal the star core and end the cold wave."

Although Bronya was still somewhat uncertain, things had already progressed to this point, and they would soon be able to see the star core that had triggered the cold wave. She had no choice but to temporarily trust the people on the Star Train.

"We're almost there! The star core is just 500 meters away!"

Xing He, who was walking at the front and keeping an eye on the minimap, suddenly noticed a white dot marking the star core on the minimap and immediately perked up.

However, next to the star core, there was another white dot with the words "Cocolia" written on it.

"Let me ask you beforehand."

Xing He suddenly turned to Bronya in the group and asked, "Bronya, is Cocolia your mother?"

Although Bronya didn't understand why Xing He would suddenly ask this, she still nodded obediently.

"Yes, Cocolia is my mother and the current High Guardian. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just suddenly thought you should let us knock you out, otherwise what happens next might be hard for you to accept."

"why?"

Bronya was completely bewildered. What was going to happen next that she would find hard to accept?

Xing He didn't explain to her, but Bronya quickly understood why Xing He had said that.

Two minutes later, the group finally stepped onto the solid rocky ground. Not far ahead, a shapely figure stood with her back to them. The biting cold wind blew against her, but it did not seem to affect her at all.

"Mother?!"

Bronya recognized Cocolia, whom she had spent many years with, at a glance. There was no way Bronya could mistake her from behind.

Bronya, why are you here too?

Cocolia slowly turned around and seemed somewhat surprised to see Bronya among the group.

This surprise quickly turned into helplessness and sadness.

"Cokolia!"

The moment Silva saw Cocolia turn around, she stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here? Don't tell me that all of this really has something to do with you!"

When Cocolia saw that Hilva had also stepped forward, she sighed and stared at Hilva with a somewhat indifferent expression.

"Silva, did driving you out of the Ministry of Science and Technology back then fail to extinguish your curiosity? Yes, if you're referring to this star core..."

Suddenly, Cocolia raised her right hand, and a star core in her palm emitted a golden glow in the darkness.

"That does have something to do with me."

Chapter 56 Creeper: I'll blow you up!

"Mother, stay away from that star core!"

Although Bronya had already sensed that her mother was likely doing something shady behind her back using the Star Core, she still instinctively chose to run away.

Running away from one's respected mother might indicate the possibility of being a bad person.

"Mother, Mr. Xing He and his group came specifically to seal the star core. Once the star core is sealed, everything will be alright!"

"Bronya..."

Cocolia looked at Bronya, who still cared about her, with a complicated expression.

She sighed softly and stared at the star core in her hand.

“Bronya, do you know? Many years ago, the voice of the [Star Core] first rang in my ears, and like the Guardians of all ages, I closed my eyes and ears. Back then, I was you now, desperately guarding what the Builders called the [Preservation]. My belief was once incredibly firm, until a sudden variable disrupted everything! Another choice was placed before me, which meant overthrowing the old order and welcoming the arrival of a new world.”

"But compared to the ethereal and increasingly distant [preservation], it is so real."

Cocolia's words shattered the last shred of hope in Bronya's heart, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Mother, what are you saying?"
