Star Dome Railway, are you a player too?

There was no way Cocolia could pose any threat to him.

Even if Sambo doesn't want to be a buffoon on the edge of the stage and suddenly ends up inexplicably, Ron still has a trump card that can completely solve all troubles...

The pharmacist was still watching him closely.

The option box on the light screen faded away, and new text popped up:

[You decide to put your final trust in Cocolia. 】

[You took a piece of hemp rope and skillfully wrapped Cocolia tightly. 】

[Theoretically speaking, Kokolia, who was tightly restrained by the rope, the curves of her body were tightly highlighted, and her smooth black stockings had deep marks on her thighs. The shameful and resentful Cocolia should now reveal something. There is an unspeakable astringent atmosphere...]

[But under the astonished eyes of everyone, you are like a vegetable seller coming out of the vegetable market, slowly carrying Cocolia, stepping on the vines and crystal rocks that grew out of thin air, stepping across the sky step by step, Walking towards the quiet and mysterious Clipper Castle in the middle of the night. 】

Looking at the text on the light screen, Ron was speechless for a moment.

What the hell do you mean you won’t show me a movie at this time?

Can you respect Cocolia? She has tried her best and you still won't let me see it?

As if he heard Ron's inner complaints, the text on the light screen faded away, and a new picture emerged——

Ron took Cocolia to the depths of Clipper Castle, gently put her aside, and looked at her seriously.

Cocolia was somewhat unskilled in trying to stand firm on the ground while being bound by ropes. You could see that her legs were stretched straight, and the shiny black silk was rubbing between her legs due to the binding, making a sound. There was a faint sound, but he still couldn't control his body and fell softly towards Ron.

Ron calmly caught Cocolia's soft body and pushed her away coldly. With a wave of his hand, a solid crystal rose from the ground and stuck to Cocolia's side, fixing him to the ground.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Cocolia was a little shy, but the slight blush on her cheeks quickly disappeared.

She looked at Ron and was silent for a moment, then said seriously:

"I apologize for everything I've done before, Ron."

"Actually... I am also doing it for Beloberg and the future of this world."

"No matter how ridiculous my behavior may seem to you, and how miserable the result may be, but..."

"I want to save the world too, Ron."

Chapter 57—Ron: Why do you always feel like something is wrong? (4k)

"Belloberg has a short history, but there is no warmth in the words left in the history books."

Cocolia's tone was low, and her cyan purple eyes were filled with haze:

"Every word written in history is cold...Belloberg's history is like an anthill flooded by floods. It is just a group of small people desperately holding on to that point in the despair of facing the end. The story of literary sparks.”

"I am not a qualified great guardian. As Belloberg's last line, I did not protect anyone. Instead, I allowed the whole city to collapse under the cliff, and even kicked it consciously. , expecting it to completely collapse and fall to the bottom.”

"You may think I'm cruel...but what else can I do?"

Cocolia raised the corners of her mouth in a self-deprecating manner and made a silent mockery:

"Like all the great guardians before him, he endured the malice of the star core alone, concealed the existence of the star core, coaxed everyone to burn their dreams and lives, added bricks and tiles to this crumbling city, and forced it to remain incomplete. collapse?"

"This can't be called protection at all... Perhaps the Great Guardian's duty has never been to protect Beloberg, but to deceive everyone while bearing despair alone."

The picture on the light screen paused, and several simple option boxes popped up:

[Kokolia simply made a part of her confession. Faced with her words, you decided——]

【1. Question.

"Failure is just another interpretation of success. Even if the ending of the story is shrouded in despair, there will always be people looking forward to the dawn of hope... How can looking for hope in despair not be called guardianship? You are not a qualified Great Guardian at all, Cocolia.”]

【2. Understand.

"Okay, I have to admit that the future facing Beloberg is indeed cold and full of despair. As the great guardian of Beloberg, no one can protect you in the face of these despairs... What do you do? Not all of this is your fault."]

[3. Don’t speak and let Cocolia continue her confession. 】

Looking at the options on the light screen, Ron frowned and chose option number one without hesitation.

He was definitely going to interrupt Cocolia - the reason was very simple. He and Cocolia were essentially engaged in a negotiation now. He couldn't let Cocolia keep confessing. He also wanted to interject a few words. Only by taking control of the initiative in this negotiation.

After making this decision, it becomes clear whether to choose option one or option two.

Why empathize with Cocolia?No matter what, everything she did can be regarded as the most despicable betrayal of Belloberg...

Ron had already questioned Cocolia's choice... He wanted to hear what reasons Cocolia could give to make it reasonable for her to do so.

The option box on the light screen faded away, and the picture on it continued to play:

"How can finding hope in despair not be called guardianship?"

Ron frowned and interrupted Cocolia's words in a cold tone:

"Failure is just another interpretation of success. Even if the ending of the story is shrouded in despair, there will always be people looking forward to the dawn of hope... Before complete failure, there is always an opportunity to save the world hidden in Waiting to meet you in the dark."

"But because you think this is deception, you abandon everyone's sincerity towards Belloberg and push everyone to death. Are you going to destroy Belloberg and bury it with your stupidity?"

"You are not a qualified Great Guardian at all, Cocolia."

Ron's questioning and scolding were completely unrestrained, and his cold tone and words turned into steel knives, which sounded extremely piercing.

But it seemed that she had expected to be scolded by Ron. Cocolia seemed to be completely unaffected by the spring breeze. She calmly accepted Ron's criticism of her, nodded seriously, and said:

"Yes, Ron, I am indeed not a qualified Great Guardian."

"I put everyone's future on top of everything, and pushed hard towards the edge of the cliff with the crumbling Belloberg, waiting for the city to completely rush to destruction... But there is a reason of."

"No matter how stupid I am, I can't drag the entire Beloberg to destruction just because I don't want to deceive everyone... Beloberg can definitely survive, and even survive for a long time. "

Cocolia said, a flash of memory flashed in her eyes:

"I just...have a better choice than lingering."

"The star core promised me a brand new world - you may find this a bit funny. After all, most of the disasters on this planet are the crises caused by the star core. Even the promise is just from the enemy. It’s just a sugar-coated bullet, so how can you believe it can really be done?”

"But..." Cocolia said, glancing at the exquisite portraits in the corridor of Fort Clipper, on which were painted each generation of heads of the Rand family, namely Belloberg. The former great guardians.

"This is what our most beloved first Grand Guardian, Lady Alisa Rand, did."

"When the battle with the anti-matter army was losing ground, Alisa prayed to the star core, and the planet was dyed pure white, and the anti-matter army was frozen in the ice."

"I repeatedly checked the files of the builders... [Destruction] Nanook sought rebirth after destruction. He indeed ignited one planet after another in the sea of ​​​​stars, and civilization was transformed under the iron heel of the anti-matter army. As embers, but new life grows among these ashes, without causing [destruction] to eradicate the roots.”

"The star core only has an unclear relationship with the [Destruction] Star God Nanook, and maybe it also implements Nanook's will - it promised me a new world after destruction."

"It can indeed realize wishes. Although the method is simple and crude, and there will be side effects that are completely unknown in advance, it is still a feasible way... This is better than lingering on, risking everyone's dreams and lives. It’s much better to just stack bricks and tiles.”

As he said that, Cocolia's eyes ignited with anticipation again, as if he was recalling the infinite possibilities that his previous choices would bring, and his tone was full of sincerity:

"I just wanted to take a gamble."

The picture on the light screen paused again, and a new option box appeared on it:

【1. Question.

"Your possible path is to lead everyone into a pit of fire? You are not betting on a new future at all. You are just too stupid to believe in the star core's bewitchment!"]

【2. Understand.

"This... does have a certain degree of credibility. Carrying the despair passed down from generation to generation by the previous Great Guardian, facing a future where Belloberg will eventually be silent in the wind and snow, bet on the stars The new world brought about by nuclear power may also be a good choice."]

[3. Don’t speak and let Cocolia continue her confession. 】

Looking at the options on the light screen, Ron hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start.

Cocolia's confession moved him for the first time.

To be honest, there is no such detailed mental journey of Cocolia in the original plot... If you only know the plot of the original work, in Ron's view, Cocolia is just a simple lunatic, a person who wants to The rotten man who dragged everyone into the fire pit and headed for destruction.

But now it seems that Cocolia's approach is just seeking survival in death, but it is a bit radical...

Indeed, [Destruction] Nanook's philosophy of destiny is to clean up civilization and pursue rebirth after destruction. No matter how the new world promised by the star core is realized, it does have a high probability of success.

That... was the first time I could understand Cocolia's approach a little bit.

With this in mind, Ron chose option number two.

The option box on the light screen faded away, and the screen continued to play:

"So, this is what you do."

Ron was silent for a moment: "Carrying the despair passed down from generation to generation by the previous Great Guardian, facing a future where Beloberg will eventually be silent in the wind and snow, it might be worthwhile to bet on the new world brought by the star core. A good choice.”

"Yes, it is indeed a good choice..." Cocolia said with emotion, but the topic suddenly changed: "But that is when there is no better choice."

She looked at Ron seriously, her eyes full of expectation:

"You have a way to save the world, right, Ron?"

"Your method must be much safer and more stable than betting on the new world brought about by the star core... I hope that Beloberg can move forward under your control and usher in a real world without pretense." things, we can move towards a rejuvenated future.”

"I do want to save the world, Ron."

The picture on the light screen faded, and a new note appeared on it:

[As the only lone traveler in the apocalypse who carries all the despair, Cocolia confides everything to you. 】

[She trusts you to bring light to the world and a new future for Beloberg, so she hopes that Beloberg can get your leadership...]

[Event: "Confessions of the Doomsday Lone Walker" has been completed, you have obtained the inherent options——]

【1. Nod.

You recognized Cocolia's expectations of you, and you were confident that you could save the world.

After selecting this option, Kokolia Rand, the No. 18 Great Guardian of Beloberg, will join you in meditation and try his best to promote the peaceful integration of the upper and lower areas. 】

【2. Shake your head.

You refuted Cocolia's expectations of you, and you don't think you can save the world.

After choosing this option, Cocolia will lose trust in you and she will choose another way to accomplish her goals. 】

Direct Zen position?Are you still trying your best to promote the peaceful integration of upper and lower districts?

Can Cocolia really do this?

Ron was a little touched for a moment - he didn't expect to get such good treatment from Cocolia. It seems that the prejudice against her really needs to be changed, and she really wants to save Bellobo. It's fine, but I'm really going the wrong way...

But why would she trust me so much?

Ron couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a moment - Cocolia's behavior always made Ron feel a little weird, as if she had known Ron before...

Even Cocolia, the star core that few people know about in theory, tacitly acknowledged that Ron knew about it and directly brought it up as a talking point...

Although theoretically speaking, as the leader of the lower zone, Ron should know that the star core belongs to Shivaro, but Ron still feels that something is not quite right, but he never thinks clearly. I understand what's wrong, and I feel like I'm still close to figuring it out completely, but I'm still stuck here and can't figure it out clearly.

He could only think that it was Sambo's influence that changed Cocolia's appearance...but it made Ron feel a little weird.

What did Sambo boast to Cocolia that made Cocolia trust his ability so much and believe that he could definitely save Beloberg?

Moreover, when Sambo did this, he did not hinder him at all. Instead, he tried his best to help him integrate the upper and lower areas... Ron was beginning to wonder if Sambo was doing charity.

But it’s true that he stole those blessed berries before and left a note threatening him. In theory, he shouldn’t have done this...

Ron was puzzled and could only attribute it to Sambo's deliberate intention in arranging the drama as the Masked Fool.

But regardless of whether this is Sambo's arrangement or not, Ron can't refuse Cocolia - integrating the upper and lower areas is a must-do, and Cocolia can do this to this extent, which is already the best situation. , Ron will never refuse.

If it was really arranged by Sang Bo, then at worst the soldiers would come to cover up the water and the earth - you can't be so suspicious that you won't even accept such benefits.

Ron thought so and chose option number one.

The option box on the light screen faded away, and a new note popped up:

[You have completed negotiations with Cocolia. 】

[You all returned to the tense front together. Under everyone’s expectant eyes, Cocolia calmly announced a simple thing——]

["The upper and lower zones need to be peacefully integrated, and Ron's ability is extraordinary. I will promote the peaceful integration of the upper and lower zones, and prepare to conduct a Zen ceremony to hand over the position of Great Guardian to Ron."]

[Kokolia’s two words broke the silent night sky. 】

[Everyone is excited because of her words. 】

Late night at Clipperburg.
