Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Kiana saw March 7 and the others blocking Sambo, so she didn't go forward.

After they finally finished negotiating with Sambo, Kiana, along with Bronya and the captain, stepped forward to officially reunite with the last member of the train crew.

"How's the intelligence gathering going?" Kiana asked, looking at Sambo who was being held down.

"Anyway, Sangbo will take us to find the local organization—Earthfire," Danheng said.

"Before that, shouldn't you introduce this 'Bronya' next to you?"

"I thought you would recognize her as Bronya of this world, just like March and the others."

"First of all, the two women have different temperaments. Secondly, there are no facilities here to provide clothes made of high-end fabrics for people to wear. Therefore, this 'Miss Bronya' can only be someone else."

"It seems you have a sharp mind. Hello, my name is Bronya Zaychek. If you had to say, I would say I am a parallel counterpart of Bronya that you have encountered in this world."

"Although I had heard of this theory before, this is the first time I've encountered it in person. It's amazing that they can look so similar, and even their names are very similar."

"If you ask me, there is a difference, and a very 'big' difference."

As he spoke, Xing turned his gaze to Bronya's enormous heart-shaped eyes, his expression gradually becoming excited.

Bronya felt a little uncomfortable under their intense gaze, crossed her arms, and looked around awkwardly.

On March 7th, he knocked General Xing to the ground with a single blow to the head.

"Don't be a pervert at a time like this!"

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore." The captain quickly smoothed things over. "Danheng, you said that Sangbo will take us to the organization that calls Earthfire. What exactly is this organization?"

"Regarding this point, I think it's better to let the person involved say it again, as it's inevitable that my version will be somewhat inaccurate."

After saying that, Danheng gestured with his eyes for Sangbo to come up and explain.

Sambo, being quite perceptive, stepped forward and continued to act as the commentator.

"The so-called 'underground fire' is a group of pragmatic people who spontaneously organized themselves to maintain order underground. After the Iron Guard withdrew from underground, the order underground was maintained by the 'underground fire'."

"Don't underestimate these guys! There's a saying that there are many hidden masters among the common people, right? The Earth Fire is full of experts. You'll see when you meet them."

"As for the information you're looking for, such as star cores, the only organization I can think of in the entire Rocky Town is the Earthfire Organization. Sending Brother Danheng to the Fighting Club was also to help you become famous faster. That way, you'll have leverage to negotiate with the Earthfire people."

"Could you earn some extra money on the side?" Bronya asked.

"Hey! I disagree! I was the one who went through all the trouble to recommend Brother Danheng to participate in the competition, so he should at least get some compensation for his hard work!"

"Alright, we don't want to listen to your rambling anymore. Just take us to the subterranean fire," Kiana said.

"Don't worry at all! Like I said, Sangbo will never let the guy who helped us suffer a loss."

"We haven't even suffered a loss yet!" Kiana recalled Sambo's decisive act of betraying his teammates in the snowfield, and for a moment she didn't know how to complain.

"So what does this subterranean fire usually do?"

On the way, March 7th couldn't contain his loneliness and asked.

"I did everything. Maintaining order, upholding justice, securing resources, distributing supplies... Speaking of supplies, that's where my meager reputation came from..."

"Huh, Joshua isn't here..."

"What are these shiny ores?" March 7 asked, looking at the ores beside him.

“Oh, this is Earth Essence, a type of ore that can provide heating,” Sambo explained. “Isn’t everything above and below ground completely sealed off? Right now, only the Earth Essence transport line is still running, sending ore up from underground and supplies down from above ground.”

"Most of the people in this lower area are miners who make a living by mining this kind of ore every day. If there were no earth marrow to burn, the people of this world would have frozen to death long ago."

"So this is the Earth's Essence..."

"Um, let's keep going, the person we're looking for isn't here..."

Sambo then led everyone to another place.

"Hmm... Oleg isn't here either, where did everyone go?"

"Are you not leading us on a pointless journey again?"

"Absolutely not! How could that be! Don't worry, we'll find it right away!"

Sangbo's tone carried a hint of panic, perhaps because he was genuinely afraid that March 7 would lose his temper and start hitting him.

March 7th's temper flared up quickly but subsided just as fast; the next second, her attention was drawn to a building in the distance.

"Hmph... what's that big building in the distance...?"

"That's Lu Xin, and it's also the supporting pillar connecting the upper and lower levels. People used to use that pillar to go up and down, but later..."

"What happened next?"

"It's a long story. Anyway, the connection between the upper and lower levels is almost completely severed now."

Kiana, standing to the side, couldn't help but cover her face. So March Seven had completely forgotten all the information she had given him?!

"Apart from you."

Suddenly, Dan Heng interrupted abruptly.

"Oh, my dear brother, you promised not to mention it?! I'm begging you, please don't tell anyone!"

Suddenly, March 7th noticed that a crowd had gathered in front of her. Standing in the middle of the crowd was Bronya from this world, and in front of her stood several people holding simple weapons, confronting her.

"Look, that's Bronya from this world!"

"Was she brought down too?" Xing asked.

At that moment, Sangbo's anxious voice came from behind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't just stand by and do nothing! We absolutely can't let this escalate..."

Now that you mention it, I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing you suffer.

March 7th said, hands on hips.

“We’d better not attract too much attention, after all, we have Bronya here too,” Danheng suggested.

"But we can't just leave that child alone."

"Ah Qi is right, let's go back and rest."

"Do we have anyone named Ah Qi here? Never mind that, let's go help her."

On March 7th, he took Danheng and Xing and prepared to go up and help.

But a new situation seems to have arisen on the other side of the crowd.

One of them finally couldn't hold back and fired a shot at Bronya Rand. The bullet was shattered into pieces by a mysterious woman with waist-length purple hair.

The woman, accompanied by a deep purple light and butterflies, appeared instantly in front of Bronya Rand.

"Dare to make a move on our turf..."

As she spoke, the mysterious woman swung her spear in a flourish and placed the scythe behind her back.

"Want to exchange a few more moves?"

When the troublemakers realized that the newcomers were not to be trifled with, they instantly scattered like birds and left the scene.

"Hmph, you cowardly scum who bullies the weak and fears the strong!"

"Miss Seele! Phew, thank goodness you intervened in time, I'm so grateful!"

"So her name really is Seele," Bronya thought to herself, glancing at the two people beside her.

If she hadn't already prepared herself for this, Bronya would have swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue the moment Seele appeared.

Meanwhile, the dialogue continues.

"These vagrants are really arrogant, daring to start a fight on Di Huo's territory."

"Shut up, Sambo. You're not immune to this either. Earthfire has a ton of problems to deal with right now. Do you have to add to the chaos?"

Faced with Seele's questioning, Sambo didn't offer much explanation, but simply smiled and nodded in response.

"I heard a Silvermane Iron Guard has come to the lower districts... Is that you? And is that your twin sister over there?"

"What are you trying to do by kidnapping me and taking me underground?"

Bronya questioned.

"And I don't have any twin sisters, so are you trying to...!"

"Hmph, 'What exactly are they plotting?'... She thinks she's some kind of young lady from above. Besides, I don't recognize that woman over there. Judging by her clothes, isn't she from your upper-class area?"

"And it's comfortable staying on the ground, isn't it? Do you know what the underground has become? Have you considered the lives of the people on the lower levels?"

"The Silvermane Iron Guards don't just sit 'comfortably' on the ground. They're constantly fighting enemies, protecting Beloborg from monsters... protecting everyone above and below ground. And I'll say it again, I don't have a twin sister!"

"Hey! You talk a good game, but what have you been protecting underground? You deployed all the Iron Guards up there, blocked all the passageways, and all that's supposed to be protecting the so-called city builders, isn't it?"

"The Great Guardian has her reasons..."

Bronya Rand's momentum visibly weakened.

"Anyway, you're coming with me. Chief Oleg wants to see you; he seems to have a lot of questions. And you, you'd better come along too, lest you cause trouble again with that face on your face!"

As she spoke, Seele turned her gaze to Bronya, who simply shrugged.

Just as Seele was about to lash out, Sambo spoke up.

“Miss Seele, please calm down. She’s with another group of people. I happen to have some business to attend to with the leader! How about we travel together? That way, you can keep an eye on the two of them, right?”

"Who asked you to team up with them? Who are these people?"

"Hi Seele, I'm Kiana. You can just call the guy next to me Bronya!" Kiana said.

"What's the use of just knowing the name? And don't call me so intimately!"

"My name is also Bronya, but who exactly is Kiana?"

Bronya Land asked in a firm tone.

Kiana was taken aback by Bronya Rand's renewed assertiveness and was momentarily at a loss for words.

On the other side, Sambo continued to explain.

"It's like this, these are the talents the boss urgently needs, and I'm about to take them to meet Oleg..."

"We're here to find something called the Star Core, the culprit behind all the disasters. Once we find it, we can..."

As always, March 7th was straightforward, so Sangbo quickly interrupted her conversation.

"Miss, don't tell everyone about this. Oleg is the boss, and Miss Seele doesn't understand these things."

“I don’t understand, and I didn’t intend to pass on your message. Earthfire has run into some trouble in the large mining area, and the boss is busy dealing with it. If you really want to see him, come find me at the entrance of the mining area.”

After saying that, Seele left without looking back and headed towards the entrance of the large mining area.

Meanwhile, the two Bronyas were still locked in a standoff on the other side.
