Zongman: Live broadcast of the collapse of iron, shocking the world

However, as the rifts widen and monsters become more numerous, the lower town will only become more difficult.

No matter how hard Xier tries to take on management tasks in "Underground Fire", things will only get worse.

This feeling of not being able to see the future... Lu Mingfei understands it very well.

Perhaps Xier's decisive temperament is just a cover for hidden despair.

However, today, perhaps hope has arrived.

Perhaps, Bronya was indeed naive and didn't understand the dangers of the downtown area, so she was deceived by the child.

However, Xier must have heard those words and taken them to heart.

"I have to give him this chance, Xier."

“Because no one else can give it to him.”

This child, Xier, even for many people in the downtown area.

This may be the first light they have encountered in their lives.

Lu Mingfei remembered clearly that he had seen that beam of light when he was eighteen years old.

The man, called him "Ricardo", personally arranged his clothes and drove a bright red Ferrari to pick him up.

Lu Mingfei knew that the trajectory of his life had really changed from that moment on.

Perhaps, Beloberg's future began to change from then on.

Chapter 40: Silk: Cocolia! Bronya and Seele can replace you!

[According to the information Eric left behind, the three of them took a detour through the commercial street, bypassing a bunch of monsters and quickly reaching the orphanage.]

As she climbed the stairs of the orphanage, Bronya felt that many scenes were familiar. This feeling grew stronger and stronger, lingering in her mind.

[While Xier was rummaging through the box, looking for the medical alcohol that Natasha had left behind, Xier was reminiscing.]

[Just then, Xier found a huge white toy in a box. It was a crystal ball craft.]

[Inside the crystal ball, a white bunny is lying on the snow. It's very cute.]

[In the air above him, an owl is flying.]

[After seeing this artifact, Bronya finally activated her long-forgotten memories! ]

"This is... something from my childhood." Bronya held the craft, her upper body trembling slightly.

【"You, when you were a kid?! Are you sure?" Seele couldn't believe it. Wasn't Bronya from Uptown?】

"I used to live here—before the City Builders took me away and Lady Cocolia adopted me—I lived here! I...I'm from the Lower District!" Bronya said excitedly.

"You're... from the lower district? No, you said Cocolia—you're the adopted daughter of the 'Great Guardian'?" Seele was suddenly bewildered by all this information.

"Yes, I am the heir designated by the City Builder. In the future, I will become the "Guardian" who leads Beloberg!"

[Faced with Xing and Seele's doubts, Bronya began to explain the origin of the "Great Guardian" successor - selection. This selection process would last for a long time, from a few years to decades.]

[This selection process is secret, so it's possible that Natasha and Xi'er didn't know about it.]

[Furthermore, the chosen child will forget everything in the past...]

[That's why Bronya's life is so twisted—she has no other identity except the heir to the "Great Guardian"!]

·····

Demon Slayer World.

"Has the memory... been erased?"

Tanjiro Kamado was very puzzled after seeing Bronya's series of experiences.

It's not uncommon for a Great Guardian to seek out a successor to train.

Just like the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, they also have to train successors.

Whether to train the successor publicly or choose the successor secretly is the choice of the pillar.

Tanjiro had heard that the Pillars led the Demon Slayer Corps in collective training.

Some people seek a master individually, and some practice on their own.

However, no matter which method is used, there is no need to erase the memory, right?

In Tanjiro's heart, memory is a very precious thing.

It can make people burst out with powerful power!

When I was a child, my family made a living by chopping wood.

One day, he returned home too late and stayed at Grandpa Sanlang's house, so he escaped the fate of being killed.

After seeing his family die and his sister turned into a demon, Tanjiro was determined to seek revenge, which is why he insisted on joining the Demon Slayer Corps.

Later, because of his sister's situation, he met Urokodaki Sakonji and Satsuma... After starting the mission, he met Zenitsu and Inosuke... These people, these memories, became a huge source of strength for him!

If Bronya could still remember what happened in the past, the situation would definitely not be like this now.

Could it be that Cocolia did this on purpose?

When she found the successor, she deliberately erased Bronya's memory?

What is her purpose?

Could it be that this was also instigated by the Star Core? Is the purpose to alienate everyone?

“I’m so far behind…”

"I witness Iron Guard soldiers sacrificed in the Rift every day, but I still can't bring myself to change my mother's mind."

[As Bronya spoke, her eyes turned red. She turned away, feeling deeply guilty.]

"I knew the lower classes were suffering, but I couldn't do anything to help. My former home had become like this, and I was completely in the dark..."

"In the end, I couldn't [protect] anything. Why was I chosen? How could I be qualified..." Bronya bit her lip, filled with regret.

"Hey—have you said enough?!" A cold voice scolded Bronya.

"You're just saying these few words to yourself, and you think I'll sympathize with you? You can hide in the palace and daydream, and you don't have to risk your life to go to the front lines, but what about the people in the lower classes? They can barely make ends meet, and being alive is considered good!"

In Seele's view, Bronya's suffering is nothing more than the self-pity of the rich and powerful—it is completely incomparable to the lives of the people in the lower city.

If...if Bronya is just this kind of person, she doesn't want to see this person again. The dignity that the people of the Lower Town struggle to maintain is not something that the people of the Upper Town can use to flatter themselves.

“‘Even if I’m just a tiny ray of light, I must illuminate others’—that’s what you said yourself. Don’t you have more important things to do than cry here?!”

Bronya listened to Seele's roar, her lips trembling.

[Every word Xier said was breaking the shell in her heart - self-pity.]

Finally, Bronya's eyes began to regain their firmness, though her mouth was still trembling—obviously because she had been criticized to pieces.

【But she accepted it all.】

"Indeed, wallowing in self-pity solves nothing."

“Usually, when I’m lost in negative thoughts, there’s always a soothing voice beside me. No one has ever dared to wake me up directly like you did.”

"Thank you, Seele." Bronya looked at Seele with a sincere and burning gaze.

·····

The world of the Battle of the Two Cities.

The conversation between Bronya and Seele made Silko's heart surge and he couldn't fall asleep.

The interactions between Seele and Bronya reminded him of Vandel and himself when they were young.

Young and hot-headed, they think they can conquer the world with just their fists...

And they did.

On that bridge, fighting with the Piltover law enforcement officers.

It was supposed to be a significant event recorded in Zaun's history... but obviously, Hilko and Vandel had different conclusions about this war.

Hilko naturally felt that they had fought with dignity - after all, dignity lies only on the edge of a knife!

They should continue to fight against Piltover!

But Van der Leyen felt that the sacrifice was too great, so he decided to rest and recuperate.

In Hilko's imagination, the most powerful combination in Zaun is himself and Vandel managing together!

Van der Leyen is a well-deserved leader who can fight and convince others; he is also good at scheming and can give advice.

Such a combination will definitely make Piltover terrified!

Therefore, Hilco could not accept that Vandel would stop just like that!

Now, since Vandel is old and has no desire to fight again.

Hilco could only find a way to force him out!

Hilco took a deep breath. He and Vandel could no longer turn back... but Bronya and Seele still had a chance.

"Make no mistake, Bronya."

"Make no mistake about your future."

"Make no mistake, this is the future of this country!"

Chapter 41 Star: Seele and Bronya’s CP is so good!

[Seeing that Bronya not only didn't refute her, but even acknowledged her "criticism" of her, Seele felt a little surprised, but also a little happy.]

"Hmph, I can't comfort you. I'll just hit you awake, as many times as I need!"

After saying this with a smile, Seele immediately became concerned about Bronya. "I can tell from the first glance that you're carrying too much baggage inside... Why? Pushing yourself to that point?"
