Collapse: Nano Brigade Captain's Journey Across the Galaxy

"Hey, you are also the distinguished guest introduced by Oleg, right? I'm Goldie, and you came with the previous batch, right?"

"Ah, yes."

"Okay, okay, welcome to the Goethe Hotel."

"Ah? Goethe... Hotel?"

"Oh, it seems that you are from the upper district like the previous ones?"

"Ah? How do you know?"

"After all, the last group of people had similar doubts. In short, the Goethe Hotel above was once a branch of the Goethe Hotel. It was only when the Great Guardian ordered the passage between the upper and lower areas to be cut off that it became what it is today."

"Well, thank you for your answer. I'll go in first."

After getting Miss Goldie's approval, Bronya walked towards the Goethe Hotel, but before entering the door, she heard the four people in front of her talking about who would keep watch. She immediately understood why the four people were discussing such a thing. So she took the initiative to move forward and said, "Everyone, I will keep watch."

"Wow, it's Bronya, how are you? Did Oleg give you a hard time? (You don't have to answer, we know)"

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. However, Silver Mane Iron Guard has been away from the lower area for too long. He talked a lot and it was difficult for me to understand him at the moment. Besides, we didn't get along well. There were some things that he and I simply couldn't reach a consensus on."

"In short, I know too many things at once. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. If you trust me... you can let me keep watch."

"Well, let me make it clear first. It's not that I don't trust you. It's mainly because you have seen the current situation in the lower district. Chaos is secondary. The most important thing is that the people in the lower district, especially the wanderers, have great hostility towards the people in the upper district, especially the Silver Mane Iron Guards. If you are here to keep watch, the possibility of something going wrong is greater than ours."

"Huh, if they have similar thoughts, I won't blame them, because I understand their thoughts... We Silvermane Iron Guards really owe them this. To be honest, if someone had stood up and explained to Lady Cocolia the consequences of doing so, maybe... forget it, there's no point in talking after the fact."

"Huh, in short, don't worry about my safety. Since Oleg of "Underground Fire" promised that I would not be hurt, I will definitely believe him. Besides, Chen Ye also gave me a gun." After that, she raised the gun in her hand and said, "I have also received military training. I can play well with anyone. Even if I am alone, my own strength is enough to deal with it. What's more, I still have a gun in my hand. Don't worry about my safety."

"Okay, then... Bronya, be careful. Let's go to bed first."

"OK, good night."

Everyone walked towards the hotel. When they were about to enter the door, Chen Ye suddenly said, "You guys go to bed first. I have something to discuss with Bronya."

"Okay, let's go to bed first."

........................

"Hmm? Is there anything wrong, Mr. Chen Ye?"

"Oh, it is a little bit, because I want to ask you, do you know that the "Star Core" has self-awareness?"

........................

"Cocolia... Cocolia..."

"Who are you? No, that's not right! Who are you! You're playing tricks on me! Come out!" said a female voice, trying hard to suppress her fear and pretending to be calm.

"We are... friends... we are... allies... we are... companions who have protected us for generations."

"What do you want to do?" The female voice had already noticed something was wrong, but although she was terrified, she was still trying to get some words out of that voice.

"Rebuild this dying world and help you realize your wish."

Γ?xφ%&$@&$'*/

"what!"

..............................

"Huh? What happened in there?"

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong inside. It's just that one of my companions has also connected with the consciousness of the "Star Core" and heard some of the conversations that the "Star Core" had with your mother, Cocolia."

"You didn't even go up there, how did you know?"

"I have some means to connect our consciousness, so we will naturally know what just happened."

"Huh, if what you said is true, then it means that you have some attainments in human consciousness, right?"

"Huh, that's right. Otherwise, how do you think I knew that there was something wrong with your mother?"

...........................

"Qiong, are you okay? It was the middle of the night and I suddenly heard your scream! I was so scared that I ran over to check. Danheng, how was your examination?"

"Well, Qiong is fine."

"How is that possible? Then why did he suddenly scream just now?"

"You mean there are people in Beloberg who we can't even detect and can come and commit crimes? Phew, I don't think there are such outrageous people. Anyway, if there is nothing wrong with the body, then there is something wrong with the consciousness. But I don't understand the consciousness aspect, this may have to be called Chen Ye."

"No need to trouble Brother Chen Ye, ha... ha... ha, I must be having a nightmare."

"Ah? A nightmare?"

"I don't know if it counts, but in my dream I heard a voice of an unknown man or woman talking to a woman, and the content of the conversation was this..."

"Oh, I've heard that some activated 'star cores' have their own consciousness, so I've always thought there's a consciousness network between 'star cores'. Plus, there's a 'star core' in your body, so you can hear the conversations between the 'star core' and other people."

"Let's not talk about whether there is a consciousness network between the "star cores", but it is not impossible that the "star cores" you mentioned may have self-awareness."

"So, what I heard was the conversation between the "Star Core" and Cocolia?"

"Ah? Cocolia? How do you know that female voice is hers?"

"It's very simple. We heard this kind of sound when we were in Klipperburg before, so I was just thinking, I seem to have heard these sounds somewhere before, and now I finally remember it."

"Well, after hearing what Qiong said, I now know why we are wanted."

"Ah? Tell me about it. I was still thinking about the "Star Core" and Cocolia, why did you suddenly think of the fact that we were wanted?"

"It's normal. After all, human thinking is always in leaps and bounds."

"Ah! Chen Ye, and Bronya."

"Ah."

"Yes, so this young man is called Dan Heng, right?" After saying that, he looked at Chen Ye for confirmation, and after getting his nod of affirmation, he continued, "I also want to know why Mother wanted you. Since this young man said he figured out why, do you mind if I listen here too?"
