The Dimensional Book of Collapse

Qin Mo looked at Da Xier who appeared out of nowhere and felt a little strange. He clearly didn't see Da Xier coming.

“That’s March.”

"what?"

Daxier in front of him showed her signature smile of March 7: "Hehe, I was fooled, but your Gaia foundation is really amazing."

Sanyueqi, who looked like Daxier, said, "You just said that if I can use it, please lend it to me."

Qin Mo opened his mouth slightly.

"Okay, I keep my word."

"Great!"

Chapter 40: The Situation of Cocolia

"I think you may not understand yet..."

The red-haired lady sat on a big rock, holding a coffee cup in her hand. Although there was nothing in it, she still made a gesture of tasting coffee.

"Humans have never concealed their desire to control the starry sky, of course, including me."

Xing stood not far away, holding the camera that Sanyueqi never let go of and taking pictures of the red-haired sister.

"How is it? Does it look like it?"

In an instant, the royal sister's temperament disappeared.

Xing gave the other person a thumbs up.

"Is this the Jizi from your place?"

Qin Mo asked Dan Heng who was helping while cooking.

"Um"

Dan Heng glanced at March Seven who was constantly using Gaia foundation to transform himself into other people not far away and sighed. Then he saw that March Seven had transformed into his own appearance, which made his face even darker.

"March 7th is quite lively."

“It’s just too lively.”

Dan Heng also made a rare complaint about Qin Mo's words.

But it makes sense.

Dinner was soon ready. Dan Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that San Yue Qi finally stopped running around like the others, especially not like himself.

"Wow, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, Qin Mo."

Xing also nodded: "It's delicious food."

"Found it, found it, you are here after all."

Just as the meal started, Seele's voice came over, and Seele came over with Bronya.

"Do you mind if we have a meal together?"

"Of course. How come you two came here together? Have your relationship become so good?"

Daxier snorted disdainfully: "Who would have a good relationship with the eldest lady in the upper city? She just said she wanted to find you, and I thought you might be here."

"I asked Xi'er to help me find you."

Xing: "Have you finished talking to Oleg? Is there anything you want to talk to us about?"

"I want to talk to you about the Star Core. Mother, no, the Great Guardian... did you really do something wrong?"

When San Yue Qi was mentioned, he immediately jumped up and said, "Of course. The star core is the source of the cold wave on your planet. But when we wanted to help her solve the problem of the star core, she issued a wanted notice for us."

"The Grand Guardian says that your identities are forged and your true intention is to destroy the peace of Beloberg."

"This guy! What do you think now?"

Bronya shook her head.

"I don't know. I don't know what a star core is. If it is really like what you said, why would the Great Guardian..."

Dan Heng put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Although I didn't know the Great Guardian would betray me, during the first day's conversation, he clearly showed that he understood the Star Core, but he betrayed me immediately on the second day. Combined with what Swarovski said, he might have been bewitched by the power of the Star Core."

Qin Mo also shifted his attention over.

"So, what exactly is a star core? How can it be so deceptive?"

Originally, Qin Mo thought that it was just a huge energy that was difficult to control, but those who used it all ended up badly, so it was listed as a taboo.

"We don't know where star cores come from or what their nature is, but we do know that the characteristics displayed by each star core are not exactly the same. Some star cores simply continuously affect the environment, while others seem to have their own will."

Dan Heng explained to Qin Mo, but in fact this explanation was equivalent to saying it directly. We don’t know either. We just know the facts but not the reasons, so whatever happens is normal.

"Then according to what you said, the star core may also have abilities that you don't know about?"

Dan Heng just nodded in response to Qin Mo's words: "That's true. We can only keep recording the situations we encounter into the think tank as a reference."

"Is there a possibility..."

Qin Mo put down his chopsticks: "I mean it's possible... that means the Great Guardian is dead?"

"How is that possible! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Before anyone else said anything, Bronya became excited.

"I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be in a hurry..."

"Just listen to me slowly."

"Since the star core has all kinds of strange abilities, it is normal for it to have the ability to control others, the ability to control corpses, or the ability to directly create an avatar."

Qin Mo knocked on the table, dipped some water, drew a circle on the table and then divided it with a horizontal line.

"I heard that more than a decade ago, the upper and lower city areas were connected, instead of being completely blocked like now. And this order was issued by the current Great Guardian Cocolia, and it was not when Cocolia first took office."

Qin Mo looked at Bronya and asked, to which Bronya could only nod: "But that is to protect the Lower City from being eroded by the Rift, so that the people of the Lower City can concentrate on digging the earth's marrow."

"But what is the result? Rivet Town has been eroded by the Rift. The mineral veins there are completely unavailable for mining. Cocolia has withdrawn all the Silvermane Guards from the lower city. If it weren't for the appearance of Svarro and Earthfire, the people in the lower city would have died long ago. Then the supply of earth marrow in the upper city would have been cut off. What is the result?"

The result was the destruction of Beloberg.

Bronya could also think of this, but it was still impossible for her to admit that this was intentional by the Great Guardian.

"This is just a failed decision. Even a great guardian cannot take care of everything."

Qin Mo nodded: "Indeed, but what? The incident in Rivet Town is not something that just happened. The upper city and the lower city are not completely disconnected. Isn't it possible for the underground transportation line to transmit information every once in a while?"

"I heard that the Earth Marrow Transportation Line is directly managed by the Great Guardian."

Bronya could only nod in response.

"Then why didn't she do anything about it?"

"I believe you have also seen the living conditions of the people in the lower city. Oleg should have told you about it. After seeing this, can you still tell me that the Great Guardian is protecting the people in the lower city?"

Bronya opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"But there is no way to prove that..."

"Bronya! Wake up!"

Qin Mo slammed the table, shocking everyone. "There are only two possibilities before you now. One is that the Great Guardian whom you once admired, worshipped by the people, and elected by everyone to protect them, is deliberately harming the people of the Lower City and attempting to destroy the entire Beloberg. The other is... the original Great Guardian no longer exists, and the one in that position now is just a puppet controlled by the Star Core."

Compared with an open-ended question, a closed-ended question is more likely to allow people to make a decision. Although there are other possibilities, Qin Mo's statement directly prevented Bronya, whose thoughts were already in chaos, from thinking more.

She just wanted to deny the possibility that the Great Guardian was deliberately killing everyone...

"No... No... The Great Guardian would never do such a thing..."

"So you are admitting that the original Great Guardian has long been dead, and the current Great Guardian is a puppet controlled by the Star Core?"

"Do not……"

Bronya held her head and denied Qin Mo's statement again.

"No! There must be other possibilities! The Great Guardian doesn't know, she doesn't know the dangers of the star core, it must be like this!"

"I wonder what the dangers of the star core have to do with trying to kill the people in the lower city?"

Dashiel suddenly spoke up. Although she was unwilling to use her brain, she was different from Bronya who was determined to prove that the Great Guardian was innocent. From the perspective of the lower city, it was not an exaggeration to say that the current Great Guardian was their enemy.

"Bronya, if you think so, then come with us to find Swarro tomorrow. Swarro has information about star cores, which is also the history of Beloberg. As a great guardian, it is impossible for him not to know these things. If Cocolia regards star cores as good things, then the historical understanding of star cores must be wrong. If the information from Swarro proves that the people of Beloberg once regarded star cores as good things, then your statement is valid."

Qin Mo paused: "On the contrary, it means that what I said is correct."

"Good! Great Guardian, she must be thinking about the people! She is unaware of all this."

"You are such a young lady, and you still say such things now."

Da Xier couldn't bear to listen any more, so Qin Mo quickly stopped her from continuing.

"Okay, Dashier, time and facts will prove everything. We will know everything tomorrow."

"Now, let's not talk about these things, let's eat."

Daxier didn't mention these things and picked up the chopsticks beside her.

"I practiced for the past two days. Let me show you the results of my hard work."

Although she was still clumsy, Daxier did manage to pick up the food with chopsticks.

"How about it!"

"Sure, sure. We can do it if we work hard."

"Of course, that's who I am."

This dinner was spent with everyone's laughter and Bronya's confusion.

Xiao Xier looked at the familiar face. Although she wanted to go forward to comfort him, she thought that the other person was not someone she knew and did not know her at all. She could not offer any comfort and could only give up helplessly.

"It's rare to have so many people here today, do you want to take a hot spring bath?"

Qin Mo asked after dinner.

"Hot springs? Sure, sure!"

March 7th raised his hand immediately.

"What is a hot spring?"

But people like Oshiri and Xing had no idea at all. Bronya actually didn't know either, but she was still struggling with it and didn't join in the conversation.

"Forget about Daxier, but how come you don't know Xing?"

Qin Mo looked at the star. He was a pioneer in interstellar travel, so how come he didn't know this?

"Qin Mo, stop talking. Xing has no memories of the past and has only been awake for a few days."

"Ah, sorry."

Xing shook her head at Qin Mo's apology: "It's okay, I don't care. Compared to the memories of the past, I am very happy with my companions now."

"Okay, that's cool and casual. I'll let you experience the hot spring today. The first experience is precious. Wait for a moment."

As he spoke, Qin Mo walked to an open space in the distance, while San Yue Qi was explaining to Da Xier and Xing what hot springs were.

"Actually, there is so much marrow underground here, why don't you have hot springs?"

"I don't know. Let alone hot springs, there are very few clean water sources underground."

Da Xier shook her head and looked at Qin Mo: "But what should he do? We don't have any hot springs here, otherwise it would have been discovered by the mining team long ago."

"I don't know, but Qin Mo is so amazing. If he says he can do it, I believe he can do it."

Although they have only known each other for a short time, San Yue Qi surprisingly trusts Qin Mo's strange methods.

"Hey? Where did he get such a big brush?"

While San Yue Qi was speaking, he saw Qin Mo pick up a huge brush from the ground and asked curiously.

"Qin Mo just drew a huge brush on the ground, and then this appeared, and the bucket of ink next to it also appeared."
