This heroine is so despicable

Xing sat up slowly and found himself lying in half a rail car - the car rushed down with unstoppable force, seemed to have smashed some obstacles along the way, then flew off the track and fell several times on the ground. Now only half of the car was left with severe damage.

But fortunately, at least the people in the car were not seriously injured although they were knocked around.

"Where... where are we?" Xiao Sanyue was already seeing stars.

Xing helped her up, and also pulled up the equally dizzy Bronya from the ground: "Maybe... the lower level area?"

[No one told you that there is a lower class area in Beloberg. I hope the customs here are more simple than those in Zaun.]

Dan Heng stood up, leaning on his spear, and suddenly looked outside: "Someone is coming."

Several people wearing simple armor and holding simple weapons, who looked like militia, surrounded them. Judging from their expressions, these people were also shocked and confused by the car that suddenly rushed down.

"Hey, who are you!?"

"Are you out of your mind? Who else could have come down from above except those guys on the ground?"

"Yes! Look at that little girl's clothes. They look like... Silver Mane Guards?"

"What are the Silvermanes doing here? How many years have passed? And they almost broke the platform? What do they want to do? Looking for trouble? Or do they think we are not miserable enough? "

"Hey! I'm asking you a question! What are you doing in the lower level area?!"

The train crew and Bronya jumped off the wreckage of the train. Looking at the people around them who didn't look very friendly, Sanyueqi sighed, "Why does it seem like we're not welcome anywhere on this planet?"

Bronya on the side wanted to take the opportunity to escape again, but Xing was always on guard against her and suppressed her again with his physical advantage: "Stop it."

Bronya resisted in vain and could only glare at Xing: "You bastard! Let me go!"

"No, unless you call me sister."

"you--!?"

“Everyone, get out of the way! What the hell is going on here? Why is there such a big noise?!”

A young girl carrying a sickle and with a fierce look in her eyes came over shouting. She was wearing a unique mix of clothes. Several militiamen around her quickly made way for her and talked about the situation.

Xing was stunned and looked at the girl who was called "Xi'er Big Sister". Sanyueqi beside her was even used to it. He turned his head and looked at her speechlessly:

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Not to mention that this girl also has a sister, and you know her?"

[You always feel that the girl in front of you seems... as if she really has a younger sister... or an older sister? But more fragments of memory came to mind - there were many beautiful pictures of two girls hugging each other, one of which was Xier in front of you. Although she seemed to have a gentler temperament in her impression, it was definitely her, and the other one was...]

Xing was stunned, looked at Bronya who was in his arms, and then pointed at Seele: "Look, your wife is here."

[Or husband? I support this wave 1 duck 0]

Bronya: “……?”

"--ha!?"

Seele, who had just finished listening to other people's chatter, was looking at the train crew and Bronya and her group. When she heard Xing's words, her eyes widened.

"Hey! What the hell are you talking about? Who is her wife? And who are you guys?!"

[Looking at the complicated situation in front of you, you organized your words, but after thinking for two seconds, you gave up - it seems a bit difficult to explain all the ins and outs, and you are an introvert.]

indeed.

【It's better to keep things simple】

Xingzi nodded and asked Xier, "Xier, do you want a wife?"

"...??"

Xier's thoughts paused for a moment, as if they had suddenly crashed.

Everyone else, even San Yueqi and Dan Heng, looked at Xing in confusion.

Xing let go of Bronya and pushed her towards Seele: "Hurry up, that's the most important person in your life from now on, don't disbelieve it."

"...You...you guys from the upper city, are you here to make fun of us!?"

The girl named Xier raised the sickle in her hand angrily.

"Be still! Put down your weapons and follow us! Otherwise... don't blame me for being rude!"

Sanyue sighed again and raised the bow and arrow in his hand: "Why do we still have to face prison in the end? I find that it seems like this happens every time I go through three worlds."

"No, calm down."

Xing put down the baseball bat in his hand.

[Although the girl in front of you seems to have a much hotter temper than the weak girl in your memory, and is more like another her, but Xier is Xier, you are willing to believe in this girl in front of you]

Xing walked forward and looked at the other party:

"We have no hostility, and we are not from the upper city. On the contrary, we are being hunted by the Silver Mane Guards up there."

"Huh? So what? You guys have committed a crime, and you think you can do whatever you want by hiding down there? Well, I have to tell you, you are totally wrong..."

Seele immediately looked at the three members of the train crew more vigilantly, and when her eyes swept over Bronya, her brows slightly frowned.

"Wait, this girl's clothes... Did you tie up a Silvermane Iron Guard? I think her clothes are unusual."

Xing immediately puffed out her chest with pride: "You have good taste. This is Bronya Rand, the daughter of the contemporary Great Guardian Cocolia Rand!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around seemed to be in an uproar.

"Cocolia Rand? Is she the Great Guardian who ordered the closure of the passage between the upper and lower levels? Is this her daughter?"

"What a bullshit Great Guardian! He is a tyrant who completely abandoned us!"

"Oh my God, this is a big deal, we have to inform Chief Oleg right away!"

"Then... the Silver Mane Guards won't chase us down, right?"

"So what, are you scared?"

Looking at the people around her who were noisy again, Xier shouted, "Alright! Be quiet!"

Then, she looked Bronya up and down, and finally snorted coldly:

"The daughter of the Great Guardian? Humph, if she is, you have really brought a big trouble here..."

[Tsk tsk, this is your future wife, don’t be so fierce]

"Come with me, I'm going to take you to see Na... Ahem, to see Chief Oleg! He is the leader of our 'Underground Fire'!"

Bronya seemed to have figured out something. She looked at Xing:

"Is this what you are trying to do? Using me to put pressure on my mother? I can convey your demands to my mother, but your methods will be useless to her."

Before Xing could speak, Xier snorted again:

"Look! What kind of demands and messages are you talking about? Do you think you are still the eldest lady in the upper class?"

[That's right, here we are! You are Xier's little wife! You can bully me however you want, if you want to be on top, you can be on the bottom! 1 is equal to 0!]

Xier's tone was full of sarcasm, even mixed with some anger:

"It's comfortable to stay on the ground and enjoy the sunshine, right? Do you know what's happening underground? Have you ever thought about the lives of the people in the lower class?"

Bronya immediately retorted:

"The Silvermane Guard never stays comfortably above ground! The Guard is always fighting the enemy, defending Beloberg from monsters... protecting everyone above and below ground!"

But such an answer obviously only made Xi'er sneer again.

"Hey! You talk better than you sing! What did you protect underground? Send all the Iron Guards up there and block the upper and lower passages. Wasn't the person who gave this order your mother?!"⑧

Bronya swallowed, but could only say - "The guardian... has her reasons!"

[Oh no, this is really a battle of two cities]

"I don't want to argue with you, just follow me! Boss Oleg will have a lot of questions for you."

Xi'er finished speaking and looked at the three members of the train crew standing by.

"And you, too."

Volume 028: Embark on a journey: The first meeting of the Blue Sea Group was not pleasant○

Three people and a prisoner... well... maybe four prisoners, walking together with Xier on the streets of the downtown area.

For hundreds of years, including the initial city builders, no one knows how long this place has been dug. Now the space of the entire lower city is so large that if you don’t look up, you’d like to imagine that you are still underground.

In the middle of the entire lower area is the huge pillar that Xing and his group came down from - it is almost the light source of the entire underground space, probably some kind of energy center.

Apart from these, the streets in the lower-class areas seem to have no obvious regional planning, and the buildings are mostly made up of messy materials, with no aesthetic appeal at all. It gives a sense of déjà vu of a slum - except that it is relatively clean here and there is no peculiar smell.

Xing noticed that the residents along the road all looked like they had been engaged in physical labor for a long time. They were not as healthy as those in the upper area. Their clothes were very simple, and some of the people who looked like miners didn't even have time to keep their clothes clean.

Everyone walked in a hurry, and even if they saw these strangers dressed strangely, they would just glance at them and then go about their own business.

[It is obvious that people have to work harder to survive here than in the upper areas]

"Have you... always lived underground?"

March 7 couldn't help but ask.

"Oh! I don't mean to offend you. I just... don't quite understand the situation here. Why didn't the great guardian let you go up and even sealed this place off?"

Xi'er shrugged: "Who knows, maybe the Great Guardian is kind-hearted and can't bear to see us lower-class people suffer, so he simply sealed the passage to give us some peace of mind."

"Please don't speak like that, Great Guardian!"

Bronya couldn't help but say.

"She has been shouldering the heavy responsibility for the continuation of Belloberg and protecting all of us!"

"Yes, protecting 'you'..." Xi'er said casually, "I guess the lower class people are definitely not included in the protection duties of the great guardian."

"You don't know her. You may not have been to the surface, and you certainly haven't seen the sacrifices made by the Silver Mane Guards to fight against the monsters of the Rift! When the battle was the most brutal, we didn't even have time to bring back the bodies of the victims. You can't make rash judgments about things you don't understand!"

"I haven't been to the surface? You're wrong, young lady from the upper class, quite the opposite! I have been there - when I was only a few years old, I went to the surface once, and only that time!"

Seeing Bronya's increasingly agitated tone, Seele simply stopped and walked up to Bronya and looked at her.

"At that time, the upper area had not yet been completely isolated. Chief Oleg could not resist my pleading, so he secretly hid me in his supply bag, and we took the cable car back to the upper level. I didn't see any fearless sacrifice you mentioned! Because I had so much fun during those two days!"

"He took me to all the famous places in Belloberg, treated me to delicious food I had never tasted before, and bought me beautiful clothes beyond my imagination. Everything was so happy and beautiful... Then until the evening before I left, he and I sat on a bench in the square waiting for the cable car to go back underground. I watched the people in the restaurant across the street throw away half-eaten meals without hesitation... At the same time, right under their feet, some people in the lower district were starving..."

Seele's tone became increasingly cold and piercing, and she stared into Bronya's astonished eyes.

"All the earth marrow that provided heating and energy for Beloberg was dug out by the people in the lower districts, one pickaxe at a time. After that, some of them even starved to death because they couldn't afford food, or died of thirst because they couldn't drink water... Of course, I don't think this is considered a sacrifice in the eyes of the Great Guardian, right?"

"……I……"

Bronya swallowed her words completely. She opened her mouth repeatedly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

Seeing that her eyes looked like she was about to cry because of what she said, Xier turned her eyes away and snorted coldly.

"...I understand. Just shut up and follow me."

[It's broken, it's a bit too much, why are you still standing here, why don't you do something to fix it? You know, they are all your wings! ]

Seeing that the two future lovers were getting more and more upset, Xing quickly interrupted the conversation to avoid the same fate as Xier chasing his wife:

"Ahem... well, Seele, Bronya is your age too. The order came from Cocolia. What's the point of you being mean to her?"

Xier glanced at Xing, turned around and continued walking forward: "I wasn't mean to her! I was just... telling the truth!"

Xing gently nudged Dayaya, motioning her to follow, while changing the subject:

"Then... now there is no communication between the upper and lower levels? It shouldn't be that bad, right? Otherwise, what would you eat?"

"Humph! Anyway, after the Silver Mane Guards withdrew from the underground more than ten years ago, we almost cut off contact with the surface, except for the exchange of materials around the earth's marrow through the pipelines. Unlike the glamorous world above, the residents here basically make a living by digging tunnels and mining. Beloberg doesn't care about us, but they still care about the earth's marrow."

[This is the original logic of social operation]

Sanyue, who had just been frightened by the heavy atmosphere of the conversation, saw that the atmosphere had eased, and quickly asked:

"Well...well...now that the Silver Mane Guards are gone in the lower area, who are you...?"

"Our name is 'Underground Fire' - just think of us as the underground Silver Mane Iron Guard. Of course, we are definitely more humane than the Silver Mane Iron Guard. After the Iron Guards withdrew from the underground, the order of the underground basically depended on us."

"So… where are we going now?"

"The big mining area, let me make it short - the erosion of the Rift has also spread underground in the past two years. Many mines have suffered and can no longer be mined. The mining area we are going to is relatively intact and the environment is relatively clean. Then a group of wanderers whose hometown was swallowed by the Rift ran there to settle down. In fact, most of these people are honest, but some people..."

Xing nodded: "I understand. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel."

Xier thought about it and nodded: "Is this a metaphor? It is... a little interesting, but I think in this lower-class area, I am afraid that a single rat shit will not completely spoil the whole pot of porridge in the eyes of most people."

[…This is so tragic, it’s like a joke from hell]
