People playing with figurines on Star Railway

Cocolia was taken aback by Liu Yu's words.

My previously confused mind suddenly became clear, as if the clouds had parted.

Yes, these outsiders have appeared. Why can't we change the planet through continuous trade after sealing the star core? At that time, we won't need to rely on mining the earth's essence, and we can even give back to the planet...

But just as she thought of this, a strong shock instantly flooded Cocolia's brain, and countless negative emotions intertwined and disturbed Cocolia's thoughts.

It's the Star Core; the Star Core has made its move.

It originally wanted to see what this person was trying to say.

Unexpectedly... once this guy opened his mouth, he almost verbally brought the guy he had been cultivating and bewitching back on track.

Liu Yu, watching from below, saw Cocolia's expression shift from sudden understanding to a dark and uncertain one, and he knew something was wrong.

It's definitely that Star Core thing that made the move.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu turned and ran away. At the same time, he deactivated the transformation state of Secondary Silver Wings, activated the effect of Fool's Mask to its best state, and suppressed the presence of Liu Yu's identity to the lowest level.

It was at this moment that the door was flung open with a bang, and Randduck led a squad of Silvermane Iron Guards in.

And it was at the very moment the door opened that Liu Yu blended into the Silver Mane Iron Guards, managing to slip away with the utmost minimal presence...

Chapter 19 Liu Yu is just a little scoundrel

Taking advantage of the chaos, Liu Yu slipped out of Kripper Castle and stood in front of the fountain in the main square, looking at Kripper Castle with a somewhat helpless sigh.

I thought that Cocolia was only in the middle stage of being bewitched by the Star Core at this stage, and I was thinking of trying to stabilize her with words. But I didn't expect that she would reach the final stage of being infinitely crazy at this stage. Now she has been brainwashed and overwhelmed by the Star Core and is completely beyond saving.

As Liu Yu thought to himself, wearing the Fool's Mask, his very existence as Liu Yu was now infinitely close to zero.

To outsiders, he was just an insignificant passerby.

It was precisely because of this effect that the Silvermane Iron Guards, who had suddenly gone into martial law, didn't take him seriously at all.

What's more, the High Guardian has chosen a woman who looks exactly like Commander Bronya, and yes! The kind with a better figure.

This passerby is clearly male, so let's skip him.

At the Goethe Hotel, March 7th stood at the window, looking down at the Silver Mane Iron Guards who had suddenly gone on strike, and scratched his head in confusion.

"Xing, tell me what happened? It feels like something terrible has happened!"

"Hmm? Let me see~"

Xing was playing on her phone when she heard this, so she got out of bed and came to March 7's side to look down.

The Silver Mane Iron Guards were swarming the streets, searching for the person. Some even lifted manhole covers to search underneath.

"Wow, it really is!"

Xing was somewhat surprised, but still shrugged.

"Anyway, they're not arresting us!"

"Hmm... Do you think it's possible that Liu Yu went directly to clash with the Great Guardian?"

"No, March, your idea is outrageous."

Xing paused for a moment, then looked at March 7th and smiled.

"Putting everything else aside, Liu Yu is just a nobody, how could he possibly do something like this!"

"???"

Three question marks immediately appeared above March 7th's head.

How can you talk about your own companion like that!

Besides, Liu Yu is a very strong fighter! He has no connection with a nobody like him.

"Hey, anyway, it definitely can't be Liu Yu!"

Xing responded solemnly.

"I don't think it's possible either."

After thinking for a moment, March 7th nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Danheng, who was in another room, saw that something unusual seemed to be happening downstairs, so he went out and went downstairs.

After asking around, he returned to his room, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Danheng, you just went out?"

On March 7th, as I stepped out of my room, I happened to see Danheng coming up from downstairs.

"No, I just went downstairs to ask what happened."

"That……"

"There was a woman who looked just like Bronya who tried to seduce the High Guardian... but the High Guardian saw through her plan and she escaped in the chaos."

"It really wasn't Liu Yu!"

Upon hearing that it was a woman, March 7th immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how bad her biological theories are, it's still obvious whether Liu Yu is male or female.

Therefore, it is definitely not Liu Yu!

On the other side, after looking at it for a long time, Liu Yu took off the Fool's Mask.

This thing is indeed very effective, but when you wear it, it diminishes your identity as Liu Yu. However, when you transform using the figurine, the figurine's identity is strengthened.

When playing a character, this effect is absolutely perfect, because as the identity is reinforced, the other person will gradually trust you more deeply as they come to believe that you are that person.

But now, without needing to play a role or hide himself, Liu Yu naturally took off the Fool's Mask.

"Speaking of which, I think I just saw a random treasure chest next to Cocolia! What a blunder. I should have opened it before sneaking out." Liu Yu shook his head and looked at a mechanical shop called [Perpetual Motion] not far away.

"Since Cocolia is completely unconvincing, why not try her best friend?"

But the next moment, a memory flashed through my mind: someone who used to be a researcher studying star cores, but after Cocolia was brainwashed, she abruptly stopped it...

Um? etc?

After brainwashing me, I immediately stopped her. Why did Cocolia, who doesn't even listen to her best friend, listen to me for so long just now?

Liu Yu, who was inexplicably lost in thought, finally managed to stammer out, "Probably because the duckling looks just like her Bronya."

Liu Yu, who attributed the answer to this, went straight to the [Perpetual Motion] mechanical house.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard a woman's voice from inside, "Wait a moment, I'll be right there..."

Liu Yu confirmed that the voice was speaking to him.

But with such rock music playing in here, why could she hear it so clearly when she walked in through the door?!

Not long after, a woman dressed in a rock-and-roll style with gold-to-blue hair came out.

"We apologize for keeping you waiting, sir. May I ask if you... um?"

Hiluva looked at Liu Yu, who came in empty-handed, and found it rather strange.

People who usually come here are there to repair their machines, right?

"Guest, what brings you here?"

Hiluva looked at Liu Yu strangely and asked...

"Excuse me, let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Yu, and my companion and I come from outer space. As for our purpose..." Liu Yu smiled and looked at Xiluwa.

Hiluva's expression changed slightly, and she silently took out a huge wrench from under the counter and placed it on the counter.

"What is the purpose?"

Liu Yu looked at the large wrench and his lips twitched.

Why does it feel like Shiluwa has misunderstood something?

"Our purpose is to seal the star core."

"Star core!"

Hiluwa paused for a moment, then looked closely at Liu Yu.

"what is that?"

She had no intention of revealing her past identity; she simply wanted to see what this man in front of her wanted to say.

"Miss Hiluva, that's not very nice of you~"

Liu Yu shrugged and said...

"It seems you know a lot!"

Hiluva narrowed her eyes and spoke helplessly.

"That's right, I did research that thing before, but unfortunately, I was stopped by someone before I could figure it out..."

"So you got so angry that you just quit?"

Liu Yu spoke up

"if not?"

"Understood!" Liu Yu nodded, then looked at Xiluwa. "So, what do you think about me saying that we came here specifically to seal the star core?"

"What else can I think... Good luck to you guys!"

Hiluva shrugged and said...

"I've already withdrawn; these things are none of my business."

"So, it's okay if Cocolia dies?"

"What did you say? Say it again!!!"

Hiluva's eyes widened, and she grabbed a wrench from behind the counter and jumped out, pressing the wrench against Liu Yu's throat with a fierce look in her eyes.

Although Cocolia has changed a lot and betrayed their friendship, she is still a good sister recognized by Silva.

Upon hearing that this idiot was going to die, she immediately couldn't sit still...

Chapter 20 Jepard: The Intimidation from My Older Sister!

"Calm down, don't rush, don't rush. It hasn't come to that yet."

Hearing Liu Yu say this, Xiluwa put down the large wrench in her hand.

"But it will be soon!"

"Don't speak in such a halting manner!"

Hiluva's large wrench almost came crashing down.

But she still managed to hold back.

Do you know why Cocolia's personality changed so drastically back then?

Upon hearing this, Hiluva shook her head.

This is actually the thing that has puzzled Silva the most over the years.

Based on her understanding of Cocolia, it's impossible for her to become so extreme overnight.

Furthermore, after that, they directly blocked communication between the upper and lower levels, which was tantamount to completely abandoning all the people in the lower districts.

"Could it be that……"

Thinking about the star core that Liu Yu kept talking about, a terrible thought arose in my mind.

"Is this it?!"

Liu Yu smiled and nodded.

“This star core is one of the very few that possesses consciousness, and while you were studying it, it was also studying you. Ultimately, it chose Cocolia as the Great Guardian and manipulated her.”

"You mean... seduction?"

"To be more precise, it's brainwashing!"

Liu Yu shrugged.

"But there's nothing we can do about it, Cocolia is practically at her wit's end!"

"Desperate? As the Great Guardian, what could possibly be desperate for her?"
