Oleg's hearty laughter came to my ears:

"Haha! I haven't heard that in a long time. I'll remember you. 'Dihuo' welcomes sincere friends."

The smile on Oleg's face faded a little, and he asked with a hint of seriousness in his eyes:

"So, little girl. You've gone to so much trouble to come here and find the 'Underground Fire'. Do you want us to help you with something?"

Han Xing still had a smile on his face: "Uncle, have you ever thought about reconnecting the upper and lower areas?"

"Oh? Do you have a solution?"

"Yes, it's very simple, but this is no longer the biggest problem we face."

Oleg frowned.

"what is that?"

"'Star Core'."

"...'Star core', I've never heard of this 'star core' you're talking about."

"This thing is the root cause of the 'cold wave' and 'rift creation' that appeared on your planet."

"I don't know, but if it's a secret that even the locals haven't heard of, then I think someone might know something about it."

Xi'er asked, "Is it the 'Great Guardian'?"

Oleg snorted coldly!

"The current 'Grand Guardian' is nothing but a liar. He deceived the lower districts with sweet words and doesn't care about our survival at all—"

Han Xing saw that Bronya's face looked a little ugly, and gritted his teeth and said:

"Stop talking! I won't allow you to insult the Guardian in front of me!"

"Girl from the upper class, my words may sound harsh, but they are all true. You can ask the people in the mining town and find out how they have survived all these years."

"..."

Bronya still had a look of resentment on her face, but she couldn't say anything.

Yes, for so long, the people in the lower class have suffered much more than those in the upper class.

"The lower levels' resentment towards you cannot be fully explained with just a few words, Iron Guard girl. But I respect your request, so I won't say any more."

"Let's get back to the point. The 'person' I was thinking of just now was Swarlow."

As he spoke, Oleg looked at Swarovski and Clara, who had been silent since a while ago.

Swarovski took half a step forward, protecting Clara's figure behind him.

He stared at Han Xing.

"Evaluating the target individual..."

"Target individual's danger level: extremely dangerous!"

"Clara, hide behind me and don't come out."

Han Xing's mouth twitched. "Boss Swarovski, please don't do this. I still want to have a good relationship with little Clara!"

"Analyzing target intent..."

"Analyzing through my eyes...Clara...please hide behind me and put your feet back."

"Please stay away from Clara!"

After saying this, Swarovski had already prepared for defense, and everyone even heard some emotions in the robot's tone.

The field fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Han Xing.

At this point, even if Han Xing had a thick skin, he couldn't hold it in anymore.

Now I really want to find a way to jump into a vein of minerals or find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

March Seven twisted his waist, and Oleg next to him came out to smooth things over.

"Let's put aside this girl's...hobbies for now."

Han Xing's cheek twitched, and then she heard Oleg continue:

"Swarovski, as an ancient robot that experienced that war, if something called a 'star core' really did appear on this planet, your database would probably have a record of it."

"Access to the database... blocked. Discussing the 'Star Core' with unauthorized targets: prohibited."

"You are touching secrets sealed deep within the world. Secrets that no human should know."

"Reassess the target's status—the danger index has risen again!"

In front of everyone's eyes, the light emitted by Swarlow's red camera became brighter.

"I demand that you tell me your true intentions!"

Han Xing walked forward, the embarrassment on his face gone, and he said solemnly:

"We want to find the star core and seal it. I have the energy you most need..."

Before Han Xing finished speaking, Shiwaro on the opposite side interrupted:

"Throughout recorded history, humans have attempted countless times to contact 'stellar cores.' But without exception, they have sought to appropriate the substance for their own selfish ends."

"Instructions from the City Builders: Any attempt to contact the Star Core will result in severe consequences."

"Reassessing - Target threat index exceeds detection range."

As he spoke, several missiles shot out from behind Swarovski and hit the top of the mine. Countless ores fell down. Swarovski picked up Clara and rushed out of the mine.

Han Xing was a little confused looking at the scene in front of him.

Swarovski actually ran away with Clara?

-------------------------------------

Chapter 39: When I wake up, I fear it was all a dream, I have forgotten my past, where is my hometown?

-------------------------------------

Seeing this, Han Xing was not in a hurry to chase after him. Things always had to be done step by step. If he rushed to stop the other party now, the final result would be nothing more than -

Swarovski rises up in resistance—

Han Xing dismantled it for him——

or.

Swarovski rises up in resistance—

Han Xing fought with it until the opponent ran out of fuel—

But God knows whether this ancient robot can fight for days and nights like Captain America.

And if I really hurt Swarovski in front of Clara, I will never be able to gain her favor in the future, my Clara!!!

"Hey, look at it." Oleg's voice came from beside him.

"We've been trying to talk to that guy, but we've been turned away every time. He's convinced that the Underworld Fire is a threat, and it seems he won't listen to you either. This puts us in a difficult position."

"It's okay, things have to be done bit by bit." Han Xing replied with a smile.

Oleg laughed heartily. "Haha! Okay, we'll discuss the specific actions and reconnecting the upper and lower levels tomorrow."

"It's getting late. You must have been exhausted on the journey. Go back to town and rest. I'll take care of everything."

The night in the lower area is particularly quiet and silent.

The dark walls reflect a faint light, as if telling the history and accumulation of this city.

In the night, there are only faint lights on the streets of the underground city. Those dim lights appear particularly small in the darkness, as if they will be swallowed by the darkness at any time.

The group walked out of the mine entrance, and few monsters attacked them along the way.

It seems that this is because Swarovski cleared out most of the Rift Creations when he went out.

Mine entrance.

Oleg looked at Bronya and asked, "Iron Guard girl, are you free? There are some things I want to talk to you about alone."

He turned to look at Han Xing and said, "Silvermane Iron Guard has been gone for a long time. As an underground resident, I just have some questions for her. Don't worry, I mean no harm."

"No, uncle is such an upright person, I feel very relieved~" Han Xing said with a smile.

Oleg raged inwardly, "I don't trust you! I'm also a veteran who's fought monsters on the battlefield." When I said I wanted the Iron Guard girl to stay and talk, I clearly felt a life-or-death pressure looming over me.

Despite complaining in his heart, Oleg still smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone, go to the Goethe Hotel to rest. I will greet the owner there in advance."

The roads in the lower area are particularly quiet and mysterious.

The street was lined with tall buildings and sturdy city walls. Faint lights flickered on the walls, making the entire street pale and hazy.

At the end of the street, an old street lamp emitted a faint light, allowing people to see the place at a glance. The range of the street lamp was very small, illuminating only a small area. If it weren't for the sporadic lights flickering in the town ahead, the rest of the place would be swallowed up by darkness.

Han Xing and his companions had already taken the keys from the host of the Goethe Hotel, but no one seemed to be sleepy.

Han Xing, San Yue Qi, and Wu Wu sat in a row at the entrance of the hotel.

Sanyueqi was the first to speak: "Why don't you go to bed?"

Dan Heng stood aside and replied, "I'll keep watch."

Han Xing's lackey said, "I'll accompany you~" and moved closer to March Seventh.

"You guy, you are really..." March 7 felt his body being wrapped in a warm embrace again.

This time she didn't dodge, nor did she pinch Han Xing's waist. Instead, she enjoyed the warmth of this moment.

"Han Xing, I haven't told you about my past."

Han Xing felt San Yueqi's head resting gently on his shoulder.

"Actually, I have no memory of the past." She looked up at the light above her head and stretched out her hand as if trying to grab something.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve done this.”

"When I first woke up from the ice, I opened my eyes and saw a cluster of stars - so I instinctively reached out my hand, but it turned out to be just the ceiling light of the carriage."

As Han Xing spoke, he saw San Yue Qi in his arms chuckle. "You know what? Everyone on the train was watching. It was such an embarrassing scene."

But then her smile turned into loneliness again.

"Before I was rescued by the train, I was trapped in a large block of ice, drifting in space. Sister Jizi, Mr. Walter, and... someone else, figured out a way to melt the ice and rescued me."

"After waking up, I forgot everything that happened before."

"Who I am, what my original name was, where I came from... I've forgotten all of this. Even the name 'March 7th' was only given to me to commemorate the date I was awakened."

"So I stayed on the train, following it from stop to stop. Hoping that one day I could find my past..."

Han Xing looked at Sanyueqi in her arms and held her hand a little tighter.

Han Xing's body temperature is much higher than that of normal people. In this cold lower area of ​​Beloberg, she hopes to give March Seven some warmth.

She slowly recited a word from the depths of her memory:

"The old plum blossoms in the courtyard are giving off a new fragrance. The old friends from then are no longer around. When I wake up, I fear it was all a dream, my whole life forgotten. Where is my hometown?"

Dan Heng, who was standing beside him, asked with a hint of surprise, "Do you also understand Xianzhou poetry?"

"I understand a little bit, but this sentence is not mine. It is a poem by an old friend. It fits the current situation of Sanyue and me very well."

Han Xing felt San Yue Qi's body stiffen in his arms. "I'm sorry. I don't know why I suddenly thought of all this today. It hurt you too..."

Han Xing smiled and rubbed her head with his cheek, saying, "What's the big deal? I'm just glad you told me this."

Han Xing turned around and faced San Yueqi, looking into his eyes.

"Actually, Jizi is very worried about your condition. Although you have become more and more positive recently, everyone always thinks that you are trying to cover up your real fear with superficial happiness..."

San Yueqi's gaze became a little evasive.

Han Xing hugged San Yue Qi and whispered in his ear, "You can trust me at any time. If you encounter any trouble, please feel free to rely on me."

A pair of slightly cool little hands wrapped around Han Xing's waist, and San Yueqi's response came to her ears.
