Zongman, my simulated universe has come true?

Chapter 56 Goodbye Cocolia

"Bronya, I'm going to meet Cocolia now. Do you want to come with me?"

"I... don't need to. I've seen it once before, and I still have a lot of homework to do..."

Bronya declined Mo Li's invitation. After knowing her mother's intention, she didn't want to appear in front of Cocolia with Mo Li.

This might stimulate her spirit, and as the next Great Guardian, she still has a lot to learn, and she will be busy in the future...

"Um...can you take me with you?"

Hearing that Mo Li was going to see Cocolia now, Xiluwa couldn't help but ask.

"can."

"Eh?"

Xiluwa was a little surprised. She didn't expect that he would agree so easily.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, let's go!"

Arriving at the secret underground prison, Shiluwa finally met her good friend Cocolia.

After discovering that Cocolia was not as greasy as she had imagined, and that the cell was not that shabby, and that there were even books and televisions to entertain her, Shiluva finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Cocolia was not abused, which is great...

"Cocolia, are you recovered?"

Mo Li looked at Cocolia in the cell and glanced at her right hand. The traces of ice and snow erosion did not continue to spread...

Just in case, let's check her consciousness space...

Then Mo Li saw Cocolia's spirit body in the spiritual space. Seventy percent of it was dyed with the color of the star core, and the will of the star core had been completely integrated into her...

The erosion was a little deeper than the last time they met, but Cocolia's consciousness did not fall into a coma, which meant that it was undoubtedly her who was controlling the body now.

It's incredible...

Seeing the two people coming, Cocolia felt very complicated.

She was just about to stand up, but suddenly her vision went dark and she almost fell to the ground.

"Cokolia!"

"I'm fine, Shiluwa..."

The caring voice of her friend warmed Cocolia's heart, but at the same time, she felt more and more ashamed of her behavior.

"Mo Li and Xi Lu Wa, I...I'm sorry."

She failed to shoulder the responsibility of the Great Guardian and let them down, instead following the instigation of the Star Core and trying to let the city be swallowed by the cold winter.

She couldn't face them...

"I am an unqualified Great Guardian. Mo Li, your decision is right. If you had allowed me to continue to be in power, I would only have pushed Beloberg into the abyss..."

Even though the star core was still whispering in her ears about the gaze of destruction and the new world, Cocolia no longer paid any attention to it.

She firmly believed that compared to the illusory world promised by the star core, Mo Li and Bronya would open up a real new world and break the deadlock that Beloberg had been in for seven hundred years.

Moreover, she has lost her faith in life and is no longer qualified to guide the future of Beloberg...

"Cocolia..."

Shiluwa had prepared many words, but after seeing Cocolia's current expression, she fell silent.

As a good friend of Cocolia, Shiluwa could see that Cocolia did not need comfort at this time.

Instead, she wanted to be criticized and denied, because only in this way could she feel that she was redeeming herself...

But Shiluva couldn't speak. She and Cocolia were close friends who met during school. She knew how much time and hobbies Cocolia had sacrificed to succeed the Great Guardian...

"Let's not talk about whether you have caused any damage to Beloberg. Your current situation itself is a punishment..."

After seeing her spiritual space, Mo Li now has complicated views on Cocolia.

Her sudden gift of the star core disrupted many of Mo Li's plans. He was originally prepared to assist Cocolia and lie down until the train arrived.

But now she can rely on the remaining 30% of her self-awareness to fight against the will of the star core...

He could no longer tell whether Kokolia's will was weak or strong...

"Why were you bewitched by the star core that day?"

"I...I was not strong-willed enough at that time."

After knowing that Mo Li was engaged to Bronya, Cocolia would not tell Mo Li the real reason.

"The City Builder will soon be compiling your recent schedule report. I can check it slowly myself."

After hearing this, Cocolia knew that she could no longer hide the truth, so she looked in the direction of her friend.

"Shiluwa, could you please step aside for a moment?"

She didn't want to ruin her image in the eyes of her best friends...

"I see..."

After Shiluva left the underground cell, Kokolia hesitated several times to speak, but finally she made up her mind and told her secret.

After revealing her dark history once again, Cocolia just wanted to leave this world as soon as possible and did not dare to look Mo Li in the eye.

"..."

"I know, I...my dark thoughts are just disgusting."

Well, he must be looking at her like she's trash...

"No, this is a very normal thought. After all, I was very cute when I was a child, and I am also very handsome when I grow up. It is normal for the opposite sex to like me when there is such an outstanding person like me around."

Mo Li said this with a guilty look on his face, not expecting that he had accidentally changed Cocolia into his shape...

Good news: The reason why Cocolia gave away the star core for free seems to have been found!

Bad news: He is the culprit!

"Eh?"

Cocolia looked up in astonishment. She had never expected Mo Li to react like this.

Although what he said was right, it was just that when these words came out of his mouth, they sounded a little...

"But this is the truth. I know myself well. Besides, it was just a dream, wasn't it?"

"But I..."

"Nothing has ever happened between us in reality. No matter how close our relationship is in the dream, it is ultimately just an illusory dream and meaningless."

Mo Li seemed to be comforting Cocolia, but in fact he was just trying to absolve himself of the blame.

If you think about it carefully, he would go to Cocolia in his dreams every few days to have sex with her, but in reality she had never attacked him once, which showed how firm her will was.

And if it weren't for that accident, there wouldn't have been a series of chain reactions afterwards...

"For example, if you kill someone in a dream, will you be convicted of it in reality?"

"...But this shouldn't have happened. You were so young..."

Looking at Cocolia, who had extremely normal values, Mo Li wanted to go back to Vesnina's house and bring his "seriously ill" adoptive mother Rose over so that she could listen carefully to these words.

If Rose had one third of Cocolia's self-control, she might still be the head of the Vesnina family, instead of a useless person who abdicated due to "serious illness"...

"Then let me put it another way. Now that I am your son-in-law, Cocolia, do you still have any thoughts about me? Or did you dream about me again?"

"No, and since that day, I have never dreamed of you again..."

"Then let this matter go. I have also studied psychology. You often dream about me. It is very likely that you are under too much pressure and your subconscious mind urgently needs a spiritual sustenance, and I just happened to appear in front of you."

Listening to Mo Li's analysis, Cocolia always felt that something was not right, but she finally accepted it.

Over the years, she has also seen her true heart clearly. She doesn't like Xiao, but simply likes Mo Li...

But it seems that she is not disliked by Mo Li because of this, which is great...

Although she had given up on her feelings for Mo Li, her girlish side still made her not want to be disliked by her first love...

Chapter 57 Star Core: How can you lose if the dragon hits your face?

"By the way, when did the sound of the star core appear?"

Mo Li's question made Cocolia fall into memory, when she was still a young girl who had just inherited the position of Great Guardian.

However, she had just been promoted from the leader of the Silver Mane Iron Guard to the Grand Guardian, and was not familiar with document handling at the time, so she asked Shiluva and the city builders for help.

"After the previous Great Guardian disappeared into the Rift, I inherited the Great Guardian's power. After that, I entered the Rift to retrieve her body. On the way, I heard a voice..."

The day after her mother disappeared in the Rift, Cocolia inherited the miraculous power to command ice and snow.

But when she stepped into the rift and faced the monsters that appeared in the rift, a voice calling out to her ears also appeared.

Perhaps because she was a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, she walked in the direction indicated by the voice.

Then she saw the existence of the star core in Yongdong Ridge, which allowed her to see a new world, a beautiful world without ice and snow, full of spring, abundant supplies, and everyone with a smile on their face.

But Cocolia, who was determined to protect her mother, did not listen to the instigation of Star Core. After failing to find her mother's body, she left.

After listening to Cocolia's description, Mo Li fell into deep thought. He thought that the authority of the Great Guardian came from the star core, so he would hear its temptation after taking over.

But from Cocolia's experience, she didn't hear the sound of the star core until she entered the rift.

Did he guess wrong?

The Great Guardian's power does not all come from the star core, but is deeply connected to it?

Or was it the inheritance left by the first great guardian that was later eroded by the star core?

"Mo Li, I feel that there is something wrong with the power of the Great Guardian. The power is mixed with the power of the star core..."

Cocolia said this, looking at the traces of ice and snow erosion on her right hand with complicated eyes.

Belloberg has never questioned this "inheritance".

The first generation of Great Guardians relied on the power of ice and snow to repel foreign enemies. So when the first generation passed away and the second generation of Guardians suddenly inherited this power, everyone thought it was a legacy between the Great Guardians...

There are also many permissions that can only be obtained after inheriting the power of the Great Guardian, such as reading certain confidential information, and commanding the Creation Engine sleeping in Yongdong Ridge...

But perhaps only the Great Guardians of all generations know that this power is both a blessing and a curse, and it is also the Great Guardian's death warrant...

They knew that if they accepted this power, they would eventually face the temptation of the star core, but in order to protect Beloberg, the guardians of all generations accepted this fate.

This is the reason why the great guardians of all generations have short lives. When they realize that they can no longer resist the erosion of the star core, they will go to the rift to end their lives.

Then this power and curse will manifest itself in the new Great Guardian...

"I'm afraid that after I die, this power will find Bronya, and the star core will also target her..."

Accepting this power means facing the erosion of the star core sooner or later, and Cocolia does not want her beloved daughter to go down this path.

But she had no way to stop the inheritance of this power, so Cocolia could only bear the curse for her daughter and try to support Bronya for a while longer...

At least we can't let that child bear this curse at such a young age...

"I don't know how long I can hold on. Until now, the sound of the star core is still echoing in my ears..."

Mo Li looked at Cocolia in silence. Normally, the star core should dominate the personality.

But she relied on her own will to take back control of her body from the star core...

"If one day you find that I am no longer myself, then please kill me before I do anything to harm Beloberg!"

If buying time for her daughter is her responsibility as a mother.

So now asking Mo Li to kill herself who has lost control is Cocolia's final responsibility as the great guardian.

No Great Guardian in history has ever been a puppet of the Star Core. Cocolia is unwilling to continue to tarnish the glorious history of the Great Guardian...

"From now on, Beloberg and Bronya are in your hands! Don't let that child follow the same path as me..."

Cocolia smiled gently. There was no fear of death in her eyes. Instead, there was only the regret that she would not be able to see the city and her daughter grow up.

She was prepared to die. This was the punishment for her listening to the instigation of the star core, and it was also the price she deserved to pay.
