Chapter 69 Doctor Natasha

[In the pungent fog, Xing lost consciousness]

[The unconscious Xing sees and feels Cocolia talking to a mysterious voice again.]

She saw Kokolia, who was much younger than she was now, wearing a white uniform, standing in front of a device that was sealing something.

[Young Cocolia's voice trembled slightly]

[…They will suffer, they will sacrifice, they will die at my command.]

[The obscure voice emphasized in a seductive tone:]

“It is not death that greets them…they will be wrapped in the swaddling clothes of a new world.”

[Cocolia questioned:]

"What about the people below? They will lose the protection of the city builders. They will see me as... a tyrant."

[She was silent for a long time before saying the word 'tyrant']

[The voice labeled as the Voice of the Star Core continues:]

"You've seen... the world we promised you."

"A brief misunderstanding...in exchange for eternal prosperity."

"It's your decision... We respect it."

【“…”】

After a long silence, Cocolia replied in a deep voice:

【"I see."】

Naruto World,

In the Land of Rain, Uzumaki Nagato looked at Cocolia in the sky thoughtfully.

"Tyrant, reshaping the world..."

Somehow, Uzumaki Nagato felt a familiar feeling from the star core and Cocolia.

Beside him, the blue-haired beauty wearing a black windbreaker with red clouds took the opportunity to remind him:

"Nagato, be careful of the guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara. He has the same bad intentions as the star core in the sky."

Uzumaki Nagato shook his head and said:

"But we, like Cocolia, don't have much choice, do we?"

"Unlike Beloberg, who can welcome the Star Train."

[After an unknown amount of time, Xing opened his eyes again and found himself in the ward.]

[She saw a well-built older sister with long gray hair and a white coat, talking face to face with Sambo.]

When Xing woke up, the first thing she heard was the impatient words of the older sister in a white coat:

[“——Wake up, your little gadget isn’t that destructive.”]

[Sambo asked doubtfully:]

"Uh, why hasn't she woken up yet?"

"Because she's asleep." The older sister glanced over, and Xing quickly closed her eyes. "She was just mumbling in her sleep... How pitiful! It must have been a terrible nightmare."

After turning her gaze towards Sambo again, the elder sister's tone changed from gentle to serious:

"Tell me the truth, Sambo, what are you going to do with that little girl from the upper class district?"

[Sambo replied subconsciously:]

"What should we do? We'll deal with them together with the others and find a chance to send them back..."

[Suddenly, realizing something was wrong, Sambo stopped.]

"Wait, why are you—"

[The elder sister sneered and shook her head.]

"Do you think you can hide this from me, Sambo Koski?"

"...I didn't intend to bring her with me. The smoke was so thick, and I was so hazy, I don't know how I ended up bringing her down here."

Regarding Zanbo's words, Crocodile, a famous pirate from the One Piece world and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, commented:

"It's a liar."

How could anyone fall for my trick?

The difference between three people and four people is too big.

Crocodile said: Anyone who believes what Sambo says is a fool.

Next to Crocodile, Nico Robin, codenamed Miss All Sunday, fell into deep thought:

"What is Sambo's purpose in bringing them to the lower district?"

The elder sister stared at Sambo's face.

"I really don't know what you're up to, Sambo. What does the higher-ups' affairs have to do with you? Why do you have to wade into this mess? Do you think you're not conspicuous enough? You have to be targeted by the Underworld Fire to be satisfied?"

Sambo immediately waved his hands nervously:

"Don't say that! I, Sambo, always look out for my friends. These people helped me, so I have to repay them."

"Besides, what about the Underworld Fire... maybe these people I brought with me can help it, but it's hard to say."

Nico Robin scoffed at this.

If poking Zombo's butt with the tip of the gun was considered helping him, then wouldn't Crocodile next to her really become the hero of Alabasta?

"Sanbo must have other motives. Perhaps... he is resentful of the Great Guardian and is planning to cause trouble for her?"

"It can't really be about saving the lower district, right?"

The older sister continued to question, "Is this why you let them run around underground?"

"Oh, it was an accident, a complete accident! I'll go get them all right now." Sambo said, and walked towards the door.

The older sister called him and gave him a serious warning.

"That little girl... you'd better find her quickly and keep her under observation. The underground has been sealed off for over a decade, and the children have almost forgotten what people above ground look like. Suddenly, a girl wearing Silvermane Iron Guards clothing appears..."

"Think about what Dihuo would do to her and you if he knew?"

Sambo quickly smiled and said, "I understand, I understand! I'll go find someone right away—Big Sister, please take care of this guest of ours!"

After Sambo left the ward, the elder sister turned her head and fixed her eyes on Xing.

"Sleepyhead, you're finally awake."

[Xing, who felt that the older sister was very kind, opened her eyes.]

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"

[Xing scratched his head and said he had a strange dream]

"Yeah, you keep talking about 'star core' and 'wishes'... It's all just incomprehensible."

"Now that you're awake, stretch your body. I'm Natasha, the doctor from the underground. You've been lying in my clinic all day."

Paradise of the Past,

Eden suddenly frowned when he heard the female doctor's name.

"Natasha?"

Alicia, who was sitting next to him, asked with concern:

"Eden, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just that my name is the same as the heir I'm on good terms with, so I felt a little surprised."

Eden continued to stare at Dr. Natasha in the sky, his expression growing more surprised.

"...If you look closely, they look quite similar."

"How is that possible? There's no way such a lovely girl could enter the paradise of the afterlife without me, Ellie, knowing for sure."

Chapter 70 The Lower Zone and the Underground Fire

Xing looked around. The environment here was very different from the upper floors. Not only was the light dim, but the facilities inside were dilapidated. The wall paint at the joints between the beams was peeling off in large areas, and there was a dull feeling in the air.

[In the other beds in the distance, many thin people with faded clothes were lying.]

Xing remembered the words "upper level" mentioned in the conversation between Natasha and Sambo, and asked, "Is this underground?"

Natasha had no intention of hiding anything:

"Yes, it's the underground world that's been sealed off and left alone for over a decade by the people above. Unlike the glamorous world above, the residents here make a living by digging tunnels and mining."

Fullmetal Alchemist World,

Edward looked at the clinic's outdated buildings and facilities and shook his head.

"No wonder Cocolia thinks the lower-class residents treat her like a tyrant."

"The gap between the lower class and the upper class is greater than the gap between the Ishval settlement and the capital of Amestorius."

The gap between the Ishvals and the Amestrians could be explained by racial and religious issues, but the residents of the upper and lower classes of Beloberg were clearly of the same race.

Alphonse asked in confusion:

"In Xing's dream, Cocolia wasn't completely indifferent to the people of the Lower District. She also felt pain over closing the Lower District... So why did she make such a decision?"

The two brothers discussed this issue for a long time but still could not come up with a convincing opinion.

"Sambo's gone to clean up the mess he made. I'll take care of you for him. But judging by your appearance, your brain and body should be fine. You're in good health."

"If you have nothing else to do, I'll go take care of other patients first."

"How much should the medical bills be..." Xing looked at Natasha uncomfortably.

As an unknown guest who wants to repay a favor, Xing wants to pay a reward.
