Star Dome Railway, why are they also simulating!

PS: This chapter has 5,000 words. Although the updates are not that many, I have started to update it.

My condition is gradually getting better, and I should be able to reach 6,000 tomorrow.

I owed 8.5 chapters before, which is 17000 words. Now I owe 1000 words, so there is still 16000 words to go.

Chapter 4 - Confessions of a Doomsday Lone Walker (k)

The image on the screen paused, and a new option box popped up:

[Faced with Cocolia's request, you were in a dilemma for a moment. ]

[Where should the future of the Upper and Lower Districts go? You will make a choice for this——]

【1. Agree to Cocolia’s request.

Belloberg has been on the verge of collapse under the wind and snow for more than 700 years.

"Brothers quarrel within the walls, but you must defend yourself against external humiliation." - You understand this truth deeply. You must find ways to soften the friction and contradictions between the upper and lower areas. The rift and the antimatter army are the biggest threats. The right way is to unify the power of the upper and lower areas.

You decide to agree to Cocolia's request and hear what she has to say about the future of Beloberg.

You will go deep into Klipper Castle with Cocolia, enter the Builder's Treasury with only the two of you, and have a secret conversation.

After selecting this option, you will start the character event "Confession of the Doomsday Lone Walker". 】

【2. Reject Cocolia’s request.

When the upper and lower classes were divided, did Kokolia ever think about the war that would come? The masters of the upper class would only panic when they were about to die, but they still had to negotiate in such a high-handed manner.

The anger of the lower levels cannot be extinguished any longer. It is time to announce your return with blood and fire.

You decide to reject Cocolia's request. The future of Beloberg should be controlled by you.

After selecting this option, you will start the event "Battle of the Two Cities", and the faction "Lower District" will get a new entry: "Return from the Mud (Gold)". 】

[3. "I don't trust you, Cocolia."

There really shouldn't be any bloody conflict between the upper and lower districts. You hope to peacefully integrate the upper and lower districts, and it would be great if you could negotiate - but that's based on the premise that the Great Guardian is not Cocolia.

Cocolia, who was brainwashed by the Star Core, is absolutely not trustworthy, not to mention that she is very likely to have been arranged into a predetermined drama by the Masked Fool.

After selecting this option, the triggering event will be determined based on Cocolia's trust in you, her favorability, and her personal goals. 】

Looking at the option box on the light screen, Ron almost choked himself to death and felt dizzy.

What's going on? Cocolia wants to negotiate peace?

...Is this something Cocolia can do?

Ron stared at the paused picture on the screen. Looking at Cocolia's friendly and sincere expression on the screen, he was full of vigilance.

Cocolia is not such an easy person to talk to.

What a joke! This guy was always a BOSS-level character in every simulation. Although Ron's operation became better and better, and his level became higher and higher in every simulation, Cocolia became a small monster that could be easily defeated, but Ron was still wary of her.

You know... Cocolia's identity as the phantom god of the civil war was not because she was too weak to cause Beloberg's downfall, but in fact it was she who deliberately arranged it, which led to Beloberg falling into such a predicament.

As Beloberg's strongest fighter, he was able to command the Silver Mane Guards to die but was never overthrown by the uprising. He only caused some dissatisfaction among the Guards. Cocolia, who held all the power of the City Builders in his hands and had complete control over Beloberg, was definitely sufficient in terms of personal ability.

Although she went astray because of the instigation of the star core, it must be said that if Cocolia could become an ally, it would definitely bring considerable help.

...but there's no way I can trust her.

Ron sighed softly. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't think of any reason why he could believe Cocolia.

First of all, the fact that Cocolia knew that the lower district was preparing to attack the upper district must have been Sambo's doing - otherwise Cocolia should not care about the affairs of the lower district. According to the situation in the previous simulation, she should have ordered the Silver Mane Guards to go to the Rift to die.

Secondly, Cocolia has long been bewitched by the star core, and her thinking is different from that of ordinary people... Under Sambo's calculations, no one knows what Cocolia, who is bewitched by the star core, will do.

At least, that would definitely not be a good thing.

Ron frowned. He really didn't want any conflict to occur between the upper and lower levels, but his reason told him that he couldn't choose option number one...

Let’s take a gamble and choose option number three.

Maybe I can talk to Cocolia again, test her ideas, and come up with a more reliable option...

Ron sighed and clicked option number three on the light screen.

The option box on the light screen faded, and the picture continued to play——

"I don't trust you, Cocolia."

Ron looked at Cocolia seriously, but did not take a step forward to accept Cocolia's friendship:

"The upper and lower areas have been closed for a long time. Have you ever cared about how the people in the lower area live in the mud?"

"Is your friendship really from the heart? The conflict between the upper and lower districts is so acute that they can no longer bear any more lies."

Ron said, staring at Cocolia with sharp eyes, clenching his fists, as if declaring his firm will:

"We look forward to a peaceful future... but we will never accept cold-blooded deception."

"..."

Seeing Ron who was wary of her, Cocolia was silent for a long time. Her purple pupils dimmed a little and her bright golden hair hung down, burying her expression in the shadows, making it hard to see clearly.

She suddenly raised the Spear of Protection in her hand - everyone held on to their weapons tightly because of her action. Ron's pupils also shrank slightly, and the power of destiny of [Protection] and [Abundance] intertwined in his palms. He was ready to fight Cocolia.

…but the results were unexpected.

Cocolia simply raised the Spear of Protection high up—and then thrust it hard into the floor, locking it firmly in place.

She stretched out her slender, straight legs without hesitation, and then walked quickly towards Ron without any defense.

“…This is my sincerity.”

She stood in front of Ron with a calm expression. She even stretched out her hands to him, revealing her white wrists with pale blue ice crystals on the edges, exuding a chilly feeling:

"I don't mind if you use any means to restrain my movements - ropes or shackles?"

"If you don't like Klippelburg, you can choose a place you like to negotiate."

"I just hope I can have a good talk with you... Of course, only between the two of us."

Her tone was sincere, even disarming.

No matter how untrustworthy Cocolia is emotionally, at least at this moment, Cocolia has proved herself to be harmless.

She did come with sincerity.

The image on the screen paused, and a new option box appeared on it:

[Based on Cocolia's trust in you, her favorability, and her personal goals, she chose to disarm herself.]

[In order to gain your trust, she completely disarmed herself and even allowed you to completely restrict her ability to move without hesitation, just to have a secret private discussion with you.]

[Faced with this situation, you pondered for a long time and finally made a decision——]

[1. Act ruthlessly.]

No matter how harmless the disguise is, it is only a deception in the end. You will never trust the Great Guardian Cocolia Rand, who is bewitched by the star core and guided by Sambo. As the biggest obstacle to your unification of the upper and lower regions, you decide to completely eradicate it here.

After selecting this option, you will trigger the event: Battle of the Two Cities (Extreme), and your faction will gain a new entry "Return from the Mud".

Bronya Rand's favorability towards you will be greatly reduced. Power: The favorability of the "Upper District" towards you and your power will be greatly reduced, and all will gain a new entry: Hatred (Black). 】

【Hatred (Black): Death becomes paper, blood becomes ink, hatred becomes motivation, and a curse called hatred is written on it... The hatred between you can never be eliminated, only blood and death can calm it.

Fight, fight, only fighting is the way to solve all problems between you.

You gain a special attack of "hatred" against each other, with a fixed increase of 200% in damage, ignoring 70% of the opponent's defense, and a significant increase in daily stress values. Killing the opponent's forces will reduce stress values. 】

【2. The final trust.】

Cocolia has done her best to be harmless, and we can't ask anything more of her... Why not listen carefully to what she wants to say.

By choosing this option, you will restrict Cocolia's ability to move and take her to a secret meeting deep within Klippelberg.

You will start the character event: "Confession of the Doomsday Lone Walker". 】

Looking at Cocolia on the screen, who looked calm and at ease as she let him do whatever he wanted, and then looking at the option box that popped up again on the screen, Ron was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

No, Cocolia, are you the heroine from some island country's torture sex movie? Why are you so skilled?

...Also, are you really serious?

You'd even go this far just to talk to me?

Ron couldn't help but fall into deep thought - no matter how unreliable Cocolia was before, she was credible enough now.

After all...she was really gambling with her life.

With Ron completely restraining her, Cocolia's life and death was undoubtedly in Ron's control.

If she really just wanted to deceive Ron, there was no need for her to put herself in such danger... She had never had any contact with Ron. Facing Ron, the ruthless leader of the Earth and Fire who could develop the lower area to such a state within a year, how could she be confident that she was prepared to escape safely?

Judging from the fact that she didn't care at all about where they were going to have this secret talk, there probably wasn't any danger in Fort Krippe... She really wanted to talk.

Then there is nothing to hesitate about.

Ron took a deep breath and clicked option number two.

In order to peacefully integrate the upper and lower districts, Ron would rather talk to Cocolia - even if Cocolia really has some bad intentions, it will not pose any threat to him.

With the blessing of two destinies, [Preservation] and [Abundance], Ron's strength is almost on par with his battle with the Vanguard of Catastrophe in the last simulation.

Because of the power of the destiny of [Abundance], his health is now so thick that it is hard to understand. In a real fight, he will be more difficult to deal with than in the final battle in the last simulation...

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

Even if Sambo was unwilling to be a clown on the edge of the stage and suddenly left the stage for no apparent reason, Ron had a trump card that could completely solve all the troubles...

The pharmacist was still staring at him closely.

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

[You decide to place your final trust in Cocolia.]

[You fetched a hemp rope and expertly tied up Cocolia tightly.]

[Theoretically speaking, being tied up tightly with ropes, her curves are highlighted, and her smooth black thighs are deeply wedged. Cocolia, with a shameful and resentful expression, should now reveal an awkward atmosphere that is difficult to describe...]

[But under the astonished gazes of the crowd, you were like a vegetable vendor walking out of a vegetable market, slowly carrying Cocolia, stepping on vines and crystal rocks that grew out of thin air, step by step across the sky, and walked towards the quiet and mysterious Klippeburg in the middle of the night.]

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

Damn it, what do you mean? Why don’t you show me the movie at this time?

Can you please respect Cocolia? She is trying her best, why don't you let me see?

As if Ron's inner complaints were heard, the words on the screen faded and a new picture emerged -

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

Cocolia tried to stand on the ground somewhat unskillfully while being tied up. Her legs were stretched straight and the shiny black stockings were rubbing between her legs, making a faint rustling sound. However, she still couldn't control her body and fell towards Ron.

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

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

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

She looked at Ron in silence for a moment, then said seriously:

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

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

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

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

Chapter 4 - Ron: Why do I always feel like something is wrong? (k)

"Belloberg's history is not long, but the texts left in the history books do not contain any warmth."
