【Star Railway Story Collection (Excerpt)】
Then the screen went dark.
When it lit up again, everyone on the train appeared on the screen.
They ran quickly in the snow.
Also traveling with them was Xier.
……
On the barrage.
Bronya: "This is Yalilo Six!"
Oleg: "It seems that we guessed it right. This is indeed what happened in another timeline... or it is the plot in the game."
Xi'er: "So in that timeline, I acted together with the Saviors?"
On this timeline, her interactions with the other train members were limited to barrage exchanges.
We have never traveled together.
March 7: "I think I've walked this road before."
Cocolia: "This is the road leading to the star core. I was the one who brought you here."
She finally recovered from the shame of social death.
Dan Heng: "Now I remember it, it is true."
Xing: "I always feel like there's an atmosphere of a decisive battle lingering around us."
……
While the barrage scrolls.
The people in the video have arrived at the location of the star core!
Chapter 70 A female lecturer who is well versed in human nature?
2024-03-13
In the video.
When everyone arrived at the square where the star core was located, Cocolia and Bronya were standing in the center of the square.
Bronya looked a little strange at this moment.
“…No…don’t…” She covered her forehead, as if she was struggling.
Cocolia said: "Don't resist, Bronya - accept the common will!"
"No... this... is not what I want..." Bronya said.
Cocolia continued: “Look at the future they promised, Bronya!
“A world without poverty, cold, and suffering;
“A world where people no longer have to beg like prisoners for their continued existence;
“A world we can protect forever.
“For seven hundred years, we have continued to try and fight, believing that the light of humanity would guide us towards revival.
"The result? We were completely defeated!
“Why is it that when faced with an irresistible force, the first thing we think of is always to resist and plug our ears instead of listening to its demands?
"That is the indelible stupidity and cowardice that lurks deep in human nature.
"Throw them away, and loose the chains that bind you!"
……
On the barrage.
March 7: "Have we heard similar brainwashing arguments not long ago?"
Qingque: "Sure enough, these people in high positions are all masters of public speaking."
Xing: "A female lecturer who is well versed in human nature, right?"
Xing: "Three minutes to make Bronya agree with my proposal to destroy the world."
Cocolia: "I'm sorry, Bronya, for doing this to you..."
Bronya: "Don't say that, you didn't do that. For us, it's just a possibility."
Xiluwa: "Fortunately, this possibility is far away from us."
Cocolia: "Yeah, luckily it didn't turn out like this in the end."
Xi'er: "But what exactly is the Star Core's appeal? If the Great Guardian in the video succeeds, what will become of us?"
Walter: "You will probably be completely swallowed by the Rift. You will all become part of the Rift and coexist with it."
Sylva: "Becoming a Rift Creation, or a being like the Rift Echo? Would that still be considered alive?"
Xier: "That's no different from being dead."
……
In the video.
Cocolia continued to brainwash Bronya: "The star core will lead mankind to evolution, He will..."
But she was interrupted: "So much for the brainwashing, witch!"
“…Seele?” Bronya turned her head and saw Seele and the three members of the train crew.
“…It’s finally here. I thought this blizzard would bury you…” Cocolia looked at everyone.
Xier put her hands on her waist and said, "You wish! We won't fall down until we defeat you!"
Then she said to Bronya: "Bronya! I don't know what happened between you.
“Even if you explain it on the spot, I probably won’t understand those mysterious things.
"But there are two things I know very well—
"First, these guys went through so much trouble to come here just to seal that thing called 'Star Core'.
“Second, remember what I said? If anything happens to you, I will come to rescue you.
“So, do you understand?
"Even if you've been brainwashed by that woman over there and have completely forgotten the agreement between us - I'm still going to knock you out and take you back!"
……
On the barrage.
March 7: "What an enviable friendship... um... should it be friendship?"
Xing: "Rounding this off, it's a confession, right?"
Esta: "You two have a really good relationship."
Sambo: "The rumored girlfriend of the next Great Guardian is actually... exciting, really exciting haha!"
Xier: "I'm not...I..."
Bronya: "Well... I will seriously consider it."
Cocolia: "Actually, I'm not a traditional mother. I don't care."
Seele: "No! Bronya, Great Guardian, don't take everyone's words seriously!"
She now fully understands what social death means.
It is really shameful for "myself" to say such lines in public.
And this video can be seen by everyone in Beloberg.
Now she doesn't know what expression she should use when walking on the street in the future.
……
The video will not stop because of one person's shame and will continue to play.
"We need you." Xing echoed from behind.
"Xi'er, and everyone else..."
"Is that all right?" Cocolia said, "I've given you enough time... time to say goodbye.
"Another reason why I brought you here. It's time to tell you, Bronya."
"..." Bronya turned to Cocolia, waiting for her next words.
Cocolia said: “I want to witness your choice.
"I have told you all the truth; about the deal with the core, about the wish I made for it.
“There are no more secrets between us.
"Many years ago, the voice of the 'Star Core' rang in my ears for the first time, but like all the guardians of the past, I closed my eyes and ears.
"I was you then, guarding the city builders' so-called 'preservation'...
“My belief was once so firm… until an unexpected variable disrupted everything;
"Another choice appeared before me, which meant overthrowing the old order and welcoming the arrival of a new world.
"But compared to the illusory and increasingly distant 'protection', it is so real..."
Bronya was silent.
Kokolia continued, “I have been thinking hard about how to convey all this to you.
"The promised tomorrow will always come, but if you can't stay by my side and watch over that new world with me...
"Then I will be in agony - Bronya, indelible pain!"
Kokolia looked at the people on the train again and said, "Perhaps, I should also thank you, the outsiders.
"Under the pressure you brought... I was finally able to face my last weakness."
Then he said to Bronya: "Bronya, from childhood to adulthood, I have never forced you to obey my will.
"No matter what, you always have a choice - it always has been that way, and it always is today.
"Choose, daughter."
……
On the barrage.
March 7: "As expected of a female lecturer who is well versed in human nature, she is very eloquent."
Shiluwa: "Bronya said, I will not say anything and just watch you act cool."
Cocolia: "I didn't know I had so many words..."
Xing: "Although you talk a lot, it's useless. Obviously Bronya won't agree."
Qingque: "Speaking of this great guardian and Danshu, one wants to welcome the new world, and the other wants to restore the ancient system. If they meet, will they fight?"
Sangbo: "You are raising Gu here?"
……
At this time in the video.
Bronya made her choice...
Chapter 71 Cocolia: In short, I really want to die
2023-10-23
……
Bronya looked directly at Cocolia, took a deep breath, and replied: "Lord Cocolia...thank you for raising me, thank you for leaving me the right to choose.
