Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

[Strange knowledge +1.jpg]

Coupled with Ling Ke's current expression of gazing at the sky and letting her mind wander, it's a perfect replica.

"Pfft."

He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The laughter was particularly clear in the quiet square.

Pera and Ling turned their heads at the same time.

All four eyes turned to him.

Lin Si walked over confidently and waved to them.

"Hey~ Ready for a pajama adventure?"

Chapter 19: Finally, we head to the lower levels.

Bronya almost laughed out loud in her mind.

To be honest, this demon king is simply a genius.

When she meets with Pera, it's usually at the training ground, the office, or other formal occasions. They mostly talk about official business, missions, and intelligence analysis.

She had never seen Pera in her pajamas before.

Penguin pajamas.

Black and white, round and chubby, with small eyes and a mouth on the hat, paired with Pera's serious gesture of pushing up his glasses.

Bronya felt that her ability to control her facial expressions was on the verge of collapse.

If she had a camera in her mind, she would definitely have taken a picture of this scene.

That kind of thing, to be treasured forever.

And there's that blonde girl next to her.

Lingke, the third sister of the Langdo family.

She had heard Jeppard mention his sister many times—a girl who loved field surveying, was somewhat introverted, but very capable.

When Jepard talks about his sister, he always has a proud expression that says, "My Lingbao is the best."

Bronya had been looking for an opportunity to get to know him.

As it turned out, our first meeting took place under these circumstances.

Lingke, wearing snow radish and rabbit pajamas, stood under the Eternal Winter Monument. Her rabbit ears swayed slightly in the wind, her face expressionless, and her eyes stared blankly at the sky.

Bronya felt that she would remember this scene for a very long time.

Lin Si had no idea what Bronya was thinking.

He was watching the penguin and the rabbit in front of him with a smile.

"Pera's penguin pajamas are so cute!"

His tone was natural, as if he were praising the good weather today.

"And Lingke's rabbit too."

Pera's face flushed red.

Lady Bronya must have heard everything I just said!

Forget about "gap moe" (a Japanese term for someone with a charmingly contrasting personality) and "super cute"...

She lowered her head hesitantly and muttered softly:

"Bronya is so cute... Bronya is so cute too!"

Lingke stood to the side, still with that expressionless face.

But if you look closely, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned.

A very small amount.

You can't see it at all unless you look closely.

She said softly:

"Thank you, Miss Bronya."

Lin Si raised an eyebrow slightly.

This Lingke seems a bit introverted.

Pera is so lively, but her best friend is such a quiet and reserved person?

Lin Sichao nodded with a smile, then turned to Pera.

"Pera, where do we go next?"

Pera pushed up her glasses, trying to recover from the shyness of being complimented on her cuteness.

She thought for a moment, then began to recount them in great detail:

"There are a lot of fun places to go in Belleburg at night."

"From the observation deck on the rooftop of the Goethe Hotel, you can see the entire administrative district at night. On a clear day, you can also see the distant Evergreen Ridge."

She lowered her voice and said mysteriously:

"And there's the area in the northern part of the administrative district that's been sealed off; apparently, it's haunted there!"

Lin Si: "......"

Ghostly?

Does this game have supernatural elements?

Ling Ke didn't respond, but just nodded slightly, seemingly unaffected by the "ghostly" claim.

Lin Si sighed inwardly.

These places all sounded nice, but none of them were what he wanted.

What he needs is the lower level.

He spoke casually:

"We've been to all these places, haven't we? It's hardly an adventure!"

Pera was taken aback.

Lin Si continued:

"Since it's an adventure, it has to be to go to places we can't normally go, otherwise it won't be as fun, right?"

He turned to look at Ling Ke.

"Ling Ke thinks so too, right?"

As a field surveyor, Lingke certainly possesses an adventurous spirit.

Moreover, Lin Si only asked "What do you think?" and didn't ask anything else, such as whether it was dangerous for the three of them to go.

If Lingke is truly as introverted as he perceives, she would likely only answer his questions and not extend the conversation.

really.

Ling Ke nodded without saying a word.

Seeing this, Pera began to think seriously.

"Places I can't usually go..."

She pushed up her glasses, her brows furrowing slightly.

"I can get permits for most parts of Belberg. But there are places I can't go at all..."

She paused for a moment.

"That means only the lower level area is left."

Upon hearing this, Lin Si's lips curled up slightly.

It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy.

Although he had tried to steer the conversation, he hadn't expected that Pera would so easily bring it up himself.

That's what you call professionalism.

But his expression remained unchanged; he simply appeared to be thinking.

"Lower level area..."

He paused for a moment.

"It's been blocked for so many years."

Pera nodded, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

"Yes. It's been locked down since I was very young. Information from below can hardly get through, and orders from above can't get through either. It's like a forgotten world."

Lin Si remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he looked up at Pera.

"Pera".

"Ok?"

"Are you interested in going to take a look together?"

Pera was stunned.

"Go...go to the lower level?"

Her eyes widened, and her glasses almost slipped off.

"But it's sealed off! The High Warden himself gave the order! No one can go down without permission! Even if Lady Bronya is the Iron Guard Commander!"

Lin Si blinked.

"That's why it's an adventure."

He shrugged.

"If anyone could just go, what would be the point of this pajama adventure convention?"

Pera opened her mouth, only to find that she couldn't refute it.

She looked at Ling Ke with a pleading look in her eyes.

Ling Ke paused for two seconds, then slowly began to speak:

"I know where the entrance to the lower level is."

Pera: "Lingbao?!"

Ling Ke continued, expressionless:

“I passed by it a few times during field surveys. There was an abandoned mine tunnel entrance that led down to the bottom. However, it was guarded by iron guards.”

She looked at Lin Si.

“If Miss Bronya wishes to go, I can lead the way.”

Pera was stunned.

What's going on? Ling Ke actually agreed? And she even wants to lead the way?

Lin Si smiled.

This Lingke is quite interesting.

Judging from her conversation with Pera and her reaction just now, she probably isn't very familiar with Bronya.

If it's someone she knows well, even if she's very introverted, she'll speak up when he and his good friend Pera are discussing where to go together, because her friend Pera is there.

Instead of just nodding.

When she suddenly jumps out to oppose her friend, supports his ideas, and takes action, it can't be explained by simple adventurous spirit.
