This heroine is so despicable

"If...if there is a bridge that connects the upper and lower layers again...we can definitely go back to the time when there was no distinction between you and me, and fight against the cold wave and the rift side by side."

Seele, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Bronya finally cheer up after her guidance.

At the same time, she also felt that the girl in front of her gave her a feeling of...similar to Nata's firm and gentle temperament, but not quite the same.

Seele is willing to believe that if it were Bronya, these would definitely be possible.

So she looked into Bronya's eyes:

"I'm not like you. I can't come up with so many great truths... But if this is the future you want to see, I'm willing to build this bridge with you."

Bronya retracted her gaze, looked at Seele, and thanked her solemnly:

"Thank you, Xier. Your trust means a lot to me."

Being stared at by Bronya, Seele blushed slightly and turned her head immediately:

“By the way, the next step, you… Wahhhhhh!”

Looking at Xing who had squatted behind the two of them at some point, Xier was so scared that she almost jumped up.

"You, you, you... why are you here? No, when did you come here!?"

"When you taught Xi'er to 'represent the will of the city builders and stick a gun into someone's nostrils.'"

After saying that, Xing rushed forward, grabbed the legs of Bronya and Seele, who subconsciously took a step apart, and hugged them tightly:

"Please don't mind me! Just continue your date! I'm satisfied just by watching!"

"W-what date!? What are you talking about! Let me go!"

Xing still held tightly:

"Please! Please continue. I just admire the pure and beautiful friendship between you! There is absolutely nothing else! Of course, it would be even better if you two could hold hands and kiss!"

Even Bronya blushed a little now:

"Xing! W-what are you talking about!?"

"Please! Just give me a kiss! I'll do anything!"

[You are a person who only thinks about yourself.]

After some fun, Seele and Bronya finally made Xing calm down for a while.

Bronya quickly changed the topic from Xing's "I told you that I was right at the beginning, you two are a perfect match" and "When are you getting married? I'll sit at the children's table" and "If Seele is strong, then Banya will lie on the bed, or if Banya is strong, then Seele will lean against the wall" back to the main topic.

"...Ahem! Pioneer, I have seriously considered your plan. Although you firmly believe that I can't change my mother's mind, but..."

Bronya coughed and looked at Xing, her eyes gradually returning to seriousness:

"Lady Cocolia raised me and taught me many life lessons and virtues. She also taught me how to protect Beloberg and her people. I will never be able to repay her kindness in my lifetime..."

"So... I hope that when we return to the Upper Zone, no matter what happens after that, it will give me a chance to stand in front of her and try to reach a mutual understanding with her."

[She still has a last bit of fantasy about Cocolia, but... you can understand it.]

Xing nodded:

"If we can succeed in our rhetoric, that would be the best, but... we must also be prepared for the second-hand situation - that is, what if Cocolia can't be convinced by you? In other words, you can certainly try to convince her, but... we must find a way to control Cocolia first, at least to ensure that we won't be thrown into prison right away. If things are delayed any further, I'm afraid it will be really dangerous."

Xi'er frowned on the side:

"This horror is not easy, right? The Great Guardian... must be surrounded by a large number of Silver Mane Guards. We can't just charge in straight away, right?"

Bronya thought for a moment:

"Maybe... the Langdao siblings can help us."

"Landau siblings?"

Bronya nodded. "Silva Landau and Jeppard Landau are upright siblings who have extraordinary influence in the city of Beloberg. I trust them 100%. As long as we tell them the truth, I believe they will do their best to help us find the star core."

I'm not sure about Xiluwa Star, but Jeppard...

Xing suddenly recalled Brother Jie’s heavy shield and frowned for a moment.

[Brother Jie doesn't look like someone who can be turned against us...]

Bronya nodded: "I know your concerns, but... please believe me, although Jeppard is very loyal to Lady Cocolia, as long as we explain the pros and cons to him, I believe he will understand."

Volume 059: Under the Sun of Yu Tongheng: Predecessor Literature

The next morning, the train crew and the Blue Sea crew reunited and prepared to set off for the surface.

Everyone had already discussed the specific plan for returning to the ground last night.

To put it simply, it is to find Shiluwa, and then let the sister trick the brother out of the heavily guarded military camp, and everyone persuades the brother.

Then, Jack and Bronya pacified all the Silver Mane Guards along the way, and took the "captured unknown guests" to Kripal Castle to face the Great Guardian.

If the persuasion is successful, let the Great Guardian Cocolia take them to find the star core.

If persuasion doesn't work...

Then let Bronya, who temporarily takes over the role of Grand Guardian due to Lady Cocolia's illness, lead them to find the star core.

"Perfect plan! But... why are you here?"

Xing looked suspiciously at Sambo who was rubbing his hands in front of him.

"Oh, hero! How polite it is to say that! How can I, old Sambo, be left out of such a big event?"

Nata explained:

"Sambo is very familiar with the ground. Considering that the Silver Mane Guards are definitely looking for you, no one is more familiar with how to bypass them than him."

Xing could only nod, then poked Sambo with a baseball bat:

"Don't sell us out."

"I, Sambo, always value integrity when doing business, hero!"

Sambo suddenly put on another slightly exaggerated performance.

"You must have been deceived by those rumors about me. But it's okay. Let's go there and you will know what kind of person I am, Old Sambo!"

[It's so strange, you always feel that this person has other purposes, but... he really doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions]

Sanyue, who was standing by, didn't know why she instinctively disliked Sambo, so she could only shrug her shoulders:

"I hope so. Don't try to be cunning. We are watching you."

Apart from the tram tracks that the train set smashed down, the only thing left that returned to the ground was the furnace core guarded by Svarro. In the passage connecting the ground and the upper and lower floors were spiral stone steps. It was unknown why the builders of the city insisted on such a design instead of building an elevator when they first built it.

The group climbed up all the way and finally reached the ground - probably because no one had been up here for more than ten years, there were not even any Silver Mane Iron Guards guarding here, and the entrance and exit that seemed to be sealed tightly also had a camouflaged gap that people could pass through - it was obviously done by Sambo.

March looked at the blue sky and finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Ah~ I'm finally back! The longer I stay underground, the more I can't tell the difference between the rock and the sky. And this long-lost fresh air..."

Bronya looked around cautiously, making sure no one was paying attention to them, and said:

"Come on, I'll take you to find Shiluva. She should usually be in the machinery house. Just be careful not to be...wait, where's Sambo?"

When they turned around, they found that Sangbo had disappeared without a trace. Xier was so angry that she clenched her fists:

"This guy! Oh, forget it, ignore him, Bronya, you lead the way!"

As the five of them moved forward, they discovered that security in the city was obviously much tighter.

Fortunately, Bronya was very familiar with the Iron Guard's style of doing things, and with Seele leading the way, they all quickly arrived outside the mechanical house - this place was actually right in the administrative district, and even on the edge of the long passage of Krippenburg.

"Silva! Silva!" Bronya knocked on the door quickly.

"Who? Today our store is not...wait, that sound?"

The door was opened quickly, and Xing's eyes suddenly lit up again.

Previously, Bronya had only briefly introduced Silva's identity - a famous rebellious girl in the Landau family, and she even had a good relationship with Cocolia. But somehow something happened later and she was transferred away from the City Builders, so she opened a mechanical house and played music.

But she didn't mention Shiluwa's looks and appearance - I didn't expect that she was such a beautiful older sister with a deep and sexy voice!

This blonde highlights and this rock style outfit!

Xing glanced at the other person's legs again, and was suddenly filled with unexpected delight - it was still her favorite asymmetrical boots!

[Isn’t this… a combination of flavors!? ]

"B-Bronya!?"

Silva looked at Bronya in front of her in surprise.

"You!? I heard you're not..."

"Let us go in first, please!"

So the group filed in, and after making sure it was safe, they all looked curiously at the house full of mechanical gears and other elements - no wonder it was called the Mechanical House.

Because time was tight, Bronya directly told Silva about her experiences over the past two days and their next plans. March, who was standing by, took out her cell phone and played the video copied from Swarovski as evidence.

"Wait a minute, there's too much information coming at once! I need to slow down..."

Xiluwa raised her hand to signal everyone to stop for a moment, then rubbed her head, and after more than ten seconds she managed to organize her thoughts.

"That is to say... the star core is alive, and it can affect people's minds?"

"Huh? You accepted the star core so quickly?" Xing was a little surprised.

Xiluwa smiled bitterly:

"Don't think that I'm just staying in this mechanical room fixing junk and playing music. I used to be a member of the City Builders. When I was working in the scientific research department, I studied star cores, and I have already calculated that star cores are related to the rift... But I didn't expect that star cores are the origin of the rift and the cold wave..."

Bronya was a little surprised.

"I...how come I've never heard you talk about this?"

Shiluwa shook her head:

"I have never seen it with my own eyes. All my research is based on historical data. At that time, I went to Cocolia to look for the star core, hoping that she could assign me a guard team so that I could find a way to save my homeland. But later... you know what happened later. Cocolia expelled me from the City Builders... and so on..."

Xiluwa's expression suddenly changed.

"That means that at that time, Cocolia had already... No wonder... No wonder she suddenly seemed like a different person, becoming so cold..."

Ok?

[You suddenly feel that the emotion in Shiluwa's words seems to be mixed with something else? It's like...]

"You and Cocolia used to have... a good relationship?" Xing asked tentatively.

Xiluwa nodded and sighed with a complicated expression:

"She and I... are old acquaintances. We used to be inseparable sisters. When we were still in the Officer Academy, we were both known for our love of making trouble. At that time, she would even go to the rooftop with me to listen to me sing. But since she became the Great Guardian..."

[Looking at the nostalgia and faint sadness in Shiluwa's eyes, you immediately understood what was going on - it turned out to be her ex! ]

[How come this huge Beloberg is filled with prostitutes? It's simply...]

great!

Xing immediately took a step forward and stretched out his hand:

"In that case, join us and wake up Cocolia together! This is your only chance to save her!"

Sanyue, who was standing by, couldn't hold back any longer: "Hey! Who would understand what you're saying all of a sudden?"

But when Xiluwa looked at Xing, whose eyes were sincere and passionate, she was inexplicably willing to believe the person in front of her.

She grasped Xing's hand:

"Okay, I'll join you!"

“…You really understand!?”

So under Xing's persuasion, the rebel team added another person.

After understanding everyone's plan, Xiluwa began to make suggestions for the next plan:

"My brother usually stays at the front line of the Iron Guard. The security there is very tight, and you need permission to enter and leave. Besides, Beloberg is already full of wanted posters for you guys, not to mention that the news of Bronya's kidnapping has already caused panic among the people. It's too dangerous to go directly to him. If any Iron Guard sees us on the way, please report to Cocolia..."

"Then it's probably going to be another big manhunt." March nodded.

"So can we trick Brother Jie...I mean, Jeppard out?" Xing asked.

Shiluwa thought for a moment:
