I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　In March, he quickly grabbed Xing and started shaking her.

　"Hey, stop fighting."

　Less than half a minute after Lingmo launched the drone, Lingmo's voice came from the medal: "Ahead, about 100 meters away, in the largest snowdrift to Danheng's right, there is a person inside."

　"Also, there is a group of soldiers in standard armor walking in your direction not far away. You can decide for yourselves how to make contact. I will remain silent for a moment, and the subsequent communication will be conducted through earpieces."

　"Oh, by the way, one of my drones has already located their settlement. I'll go in first to scout ahead. If you can get into the city smoothly, you'll probably be able to get the map I've prepared."

　After saying that, Lingmo's brooch fell silent.

　"The biggest snowdrift in the next hundred meters..."

　A spear instantly appeared in Dan Heng's hand: "Then, let's give him a warning first..."

　……

　After splitting up with the three, Suzumo began quickly scanning the terrain of Beloborg according to her plan.

　After all, there is still a "small" technological gap between the advanced drones on the space station and the automated machine soldiers in Belloberg. As long as she doesn't fly to a place visible to the naked eye, Suzumo is still confident that no one can detect her.

　As for why Lingmo didn't choose to travel with Sanyue and the others and obediently follow the main storyline, there's another main reason.

　That is, she didn't want to get involved with Sambo so soon.

　As everyone knows, although this old Sambo looks like an ordinary middle-aged man on the surface, Lingmo, who has a player's perspective, knows very well that Sambo is a Commander-level character that even a fixed-score gun cannot measure, not to mention that he is also a Pleasure Commander.

　Strictly speaking, the encounter between the train crew and Sambo was actually predetermined, part of Sambo's "drama." After all, looking back at Sambo's initial conversation with the main characters after the main storyline, it's clear that there were problems everywhere, almost as if he was just waiting there to explain things to the train crew.

　So, if Sambo were to discover at this point that Suzumo, a mysterious variable, had been added to the train crew, he would likely be subjected to some probing. Moreover, the Black Tower's warning was still ringing in his ears. In the absence of mutual understanding, although Sambo was not a bad person, Suzumo could not guarantee that she would not reveal any flaws.

　Therefore, Suzuma decided to skip this part of the story for now and sneak into Beloborg to find a passage to the lower level. As for meeting Sambo... it's best to postpone that for now.

　As for how to find a way to the lower levels without contacting Sambo... well, it's not like Belloberg is without technology. The Winter City Museum even has a discontinued display screen. Besides, even though the surface and underground are separated, this separation only lasted for a little over a decade. Finding the passage from back then wouldn't be too difficult for Suzuma.

　After finding it... As we all know, although the blocked passage might be impassable, Suzuma didn't necessarily have to become human and go down there!

　Erosion, isn't that amazing?

　"Lingmo, Lingmo..."

　Just as the search operation was in full swing, Suzuma suddenly received a communication from the train crew.

　"What's wrong? Is there any progress on your end?"

　"We have just successfully made contact with the local forces of this planet. Led by the Silvermane Iron Guard, we met with the supreme leader of Beloberg, the Great Guardian Cocolia."

　Danheng's voice came from the other side, along with Xing's excited voice.

　"That Great Guardian is a very nice person. He cooperated with our work very well and even arranged for us to stay in the largest hotel in town!"

　"Uh……"

　Lingmo's lips twitched slightly.

　"Um, Xingbao... actually, I can see what's happening on your side through the badge you're wearing."

　"As for that Great Guardian Cocolia you mentioned..."

　"How should I put it? Although judging people by their appearance might be impolite, whether it's her name or her looks... she shouldn't be considered a friend."

　Bounty (6/16) ~

　I forgot to add it in the previous chapter, so I'm adding it to this one since they're pretty much the same anyway, meow.

　Also, here are two more pictures from today's new storyline, hehe.

　Chapter 87 Land Duck: I'm testing this, how come I encountered a pink-haired female ghost in broad daylight?

　"Hey? Lingmo, why have you suddenly become like Uncle Yang..."

　March 7th scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "I think this Great Guardian is quite cooperative... It's impossible that she's the mastermind behind it all. Although she's friendly to us on the surface, she's actually trying to lure us into lowering our guard so she can arrest us while we're still sleeping tomorrow, right?"

　"March, you..."

　Now it was Lingmo's turn to be dumbfounded.

　All I can say is that this prophecy is truly insightful, even Eriol would recognize its wisdom in March.

　"What's wrong? Is my guess too bleak? How about a classic plot twist? Actually, she was also lured by the star core and had nowhere else to turn, so she had no choice but to..."

　"Alright, March, stop making up those whimsical little stories of yours."

　Just as Lingmo was about to witness the birth of another prophecy, Danheng intervened in time to interrupt March's spellcasting: "Actually, Lingmo is right. When we were talking just now, I saw that Cocolia's expression was indeed a little unnatural. That state... although I can't explain why, it looked strangely familiar to me."

　"It's a bit like that feeling of being on the verge of collapse from the torment of a demonic possession, but on the verge of a final burst of energy. Simply put, even if she's a good person, she's probably carrying an unknown pressure that would crush a normal person..."

　"However, without evidence, we cannot make hasty conclusions or blindly suspect others. So, this afternoon, let's split up and gather some information."

　"I have no objection to that. Danheng and I will each act separately, and you and Xing will be in the same group in March. Look after each other."

　Lingmo nodded and said.

　"Hey, what's with this grouping that makes it seem like I'm being put at the kids' table...?"

　"The children are free to look around and take photos at the children's table; leave the investigation to us."

　"Yay! I'm a kid!"

　"Ugh……"

　Lingmo sighed helplessly, then said, "Danheng, I need some of your help."

　"The train's think tank should have some case studies or explanations about the Star Core Disaster, right? Could you please tell me about them briefly?"

　"You want to... increase credibility by presenting materials? But it might be too late to go back by train now, and besides, most of the entries in the think tank are conclusions; there might not be much that can be used as evidence..."

　"It's okay, I don't need to go back to the train."

　Lingmo's voice suddenly took on a sly quality: "You just need to give me a general description of the situation. I can make some evidence myself."

　"Is Suzuma going to use her abilities to fabricate evidence?"

　Hoshino immediately thought of Suzuma's description of her abilities: "Then... I hope I won't be discovered?"

　"Don't worry, even the Black Tower might not be able to detect the problem with the data I've faked."

　Lingmo chuckled: "If anyone on Yalilo VI can see that my evidence is fake... then this place should ask the Venerable Scholar for help."

　……

　Bronya sat on a chair on the side of the street in the administrative district, looking very melancholy today.

　In the morning, she went to Cripper Castle again, hoping to persuade her mother to change her mind, temporarily tighten the defenses, and reduce the Silvermane Iron Guard's casualty rate.

　After all, Cocolia's appointment recently has been rather strange.

　Putting aside the fact that she made the Silvermane Iron Guards stretch the battle line during the Rift's activity, her occasional, precise orders like "Move a certain position forward five meters" infuriated the soldiers on the front lines.

　If it weren't for the fact that Jepard, the current leader of the Silvermane Guards, is a charismatic leader, and that the Landau family has a long history of military service, her mother would probably have had to find a way to deal with the mutiny in the army before the cold wave and the Rift could defeat Beloberg.

　However, to her surprise, her mother rejected all her suggestions in a rather domineering manner and seemed determined to go her own way.

　If Bronya were truly a blindly loyal subordinate and obedient daughter, that would be one thing. However, Cocolia has raised Bronya very well. At least in Bronya's memories, Cocolia is a fairly competent mother and leader. It is precisely because of this that she cannot ignore what is happening before her eyes.

　However, something unexpected happened to her today. Jeppard just told her that the people she met in Crippleburg were a group of visitors from outer space. They seemed to want to help Belloberg and find her mother... She just didn't know what kind of turning point they could bring to the current situation.

　"These extraterrestrial visitors who claim to be nameless... Should I make time to meet them...?"

　"Want to see me? That's easy enough, isn't it?"

　A voice rang out from beside her.

　"?!"

　Almost at the same time the sound rang out, Bronya, who had been concentrating on her thoughts, suddenly shuddered, almost spilling her drink.

　"Don't be nervous. I just saw you looking so troubled, so I came to check on you. I didn't expect to hear you muttering our names to yourself."

　Bronya then turned her head, and a pink-haired...little sister? immediately came into her view.

　"You are……"

　"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lingmo, one of the nameless passengers from the Starry Sky Train. You probably didn't see me this morning because I wasn't with my companions. However, I've heard about the situation from them."

　The pink-haired girl smiled, showing none of the wariness or aloofness one would show when meeting a stranger. Almost instinctively, Bronya categorized her as one of the more outgoing types.

　However, she did not let her guard down because of this.

　First, to enter Belleburg from the outside, one needs to go through a rigorous screening process. Jeppard told her that there were only three extraterrestrials, which means that the girl was not with them from the beginning, that is to say... she found a way to "smuggle herself into the city".

　Secondly, as the successor to the High Guardian, although Bronya wouldn't dare claim to be extremely powerful, she was definitely among the top in Beloberg. And yet, she hadn't even noticed this girl approaching her and sitting down next to her; if the girl hadn't spoken up…

　"Huh, are you afraid of me? Or are you wondering how I was able to sneak up next to you so quietly?"

　Lingmo tilted her head cutely.

　"How about... you take a look down?"

　"Take a look down?"

　Bronya looked down in confusion.

　In Belleburg, she had met some people with unusual tastes, and many were attracted to her attire. However, this was the first time she had ever been asked to look at someone's feet.

　and many more……

　Bronya's face turned deathly pale instantly.

　Hey sis, where are your feet?!

　It was only then that Bronya realized that the girl who looked so beautiful it seemed unreal was actually just floating around her with only her upper body!

　Chapter 88 Bronya: Oh my god, why is this star core so wicked!

　"you you……"

　In fact, Belloberg has never lacked terrifying urban legends.

　For example, some people say that there are twin female ghosts in the Goethe Hotel, and you can see them if you perform a specific ritual at midnight; while others say that there is a creature called the Pseudo-Man in Belleburg, which behaves strangely, eats people, and is quietly infiltrating Belleburg.

　Although Bronya knew that a significant portion of these urban legends were phenomena resulting from the erosion of the rift, as she dealt with more and more of them, she would inevitably encounter a few mysterious cases whose origins could not be found.

　This leads to Bronya being more likely to believe in such "urban legends" than others.

　"What kind of being are you...?"

　"Heh heh, scared, huh~"

　Lingmo revealed a mischievous smile, and then, in front of Bronya, she completely solidified her body.

　"Actually, this is just my ability. As the Great Guardian, you should know that there is more than one way to protect a destiny in the world, and there is more than one strange ability."

　"As for what happened earlier... I just saw you were too nervous, so I made a little joke to lighten the mood."

　"To liven up the atmosphere..."

　Bronya's expression was a bit strange. After all, who livens up the atmosphere by scaring people half to death? If Suzumo hadn't told her beforehand that she was a traveler from outer space, Bronya would have already been ready to draw her gun on the spot.

　"Alright, alright, let's get back to business."

　Lingmo shrugged: "By the way, let me ask you something first. Do you know what the Great Guardian talked about with us back then? If not, I can give you some information first."

　“Go ahead and tell me… I just left Cripperburg when Mother received you.”

　Bronya paused for a moment, then forced a smile.

　"Okay, actually it's roughly like this..."

　As Bronya grew increasingly lost in thought, Suzuma roughly recounted the conversation between the train crew and Cocolia.

　"So, the reason you're stuck on our planet is because your path was blocked by the star's core, and that the star's core is also the root cause of our cold wave and the resulting rift?"

　"Although it's still somewhat general, that's generally the case."

　Lingmo nodded: "So, do you know exactly where the star core on Yalilo VI is?"

　"I do not know."
