Bengtie: A card pool character who gives knives to players

Bronya's eyes were blank as she looked at Hook in disbelief.

This kid... actually came alone?

Only then did she remember what she had found strange before.

That was when Hook asked back, and the surprised look was not only directed at her and Xier.

There are also Lingzhou and Xing!

Lingzhou saw what Bronya was thinking at a glance, but did not explain.

For the rest of the journey, Bronya remained silent and didn't say a word.

Obviously, this incident had a great impact on her.

At Hook's age, she didn't need to worry about these things, let alone put herself in danger.

Return to Rock Town and give the medicine to Natasha.

Forced by Natasha's praise followed by a stern face, Hook obediently went home to sleep.

After Natasha bowed solemnly to express her gratitude and returned to the clinic to work, Lingzhou took out the photo album he found from the orphanage and handed it to Bronya.

“Is this photo of you?”

Chapter 66 I can’t do anything

Xing: "Of course she did. Bronya was still very thin back then."

Bronya took it doubtfully.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t look, but once you look, your gaze will freeze instantly.

“This person…this person…”

Xier came over and took a look, but didn't think anything was wrong at first.

Until I met the child's eyes.

She took two steps back in disbelief, looking Bronya up and down, especially her eyes.

"How could they be so similar?"

"No... not like..."

Bronya's lips trembled and her face was filled with mixed emotions.

"This is clearly me. I'm an orphan from the lower class, but why do I have no memories of my childhood?"

Xing: "Cocolia did something, but I'm curious why Natasha didn't recognize you."

Xier gradually accepted the fact and guessed:

"Children in orphanages come and go, and there aren't many cases like mine."

"No matter how you look at Bronya now, she doesn't look like the timid little girl in the photo. Plus, more than a decade has passed, so it's normal that Nata doesn't recognize her."

Lingzhou: "Xing, take out the boxes of junk you found at the orphanage."

Xing didn't ask and just did as he was told.

Four large wooden boxes were placed in two rows. Lingzhou opened one of them, waved his hand, and sucked something out from inside.

"The little thing you're holding in the photo must be this."

It was an exquisite snow globe.

Snowy owls circle over the snow, looking for the best opportunity to hunt rabbits.

He had found this thing when Xing was moving out the junk box at the orphanage.

It was just that Clara, Xier and others appeared one after another, so he was not in a hurry to take it out.

I'm not looking for it for anything else.

Just to make Bronya think of the past and quickly recall her lost memories.

Xing: "Lingzhou, have you ever caught a rabbit like this?"

Ling Zhou: "No, I'm not a bird of prey, nor any other bird-like creature."

Players were still discussing whether the snowy owl in the snow globe was Jimi, but they were confused by Xing's words.

The language gives people a very strong sense of déjà vu, and many people subconsciously imagine that situation -

Lingzhou spreads its wings and, like a bird of prey, looks down at its prey on the ground, waiting for its opportunity to strike...

Growing grass!

"The serious plot of unraveling Bronya's life story, and suddenly this nonsensical line comes out."

Old Bear was very happy.

"It's a good thing San Yue Qi wasn't here, otherwise he would have either rolled his eyes and complained, or elbowed me out of habit."

Bronya didn't get distracted by this.

Rather, she had already fallen into a trance after taking the snow globe in a daze.

Many vague and disjointed childhood fragments came to my mind one after another and needed to be pieced together.

Before I knew it, several complete and clear pieces of the puzzle were formed.

Seeing her like this, Seele was a little worried: "Bronya? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

Bronya's tone became more complicated.

She remembered a lot.

Seele: "So, you are not Cocolia's biological daughter, but a child from our lower class district!"

Bronya: "The builders said that the selection process for the Guardian's successor will be carried out throughout Beloberg, and it will take a few years or even decades."

"During this time, every child who is of age is tested, and only one is selected."

"I think... I was chosen from the orphanage in Rivet Town and brought to the surface..."

"But why don't we have any memory of you being adopted?" Xier was very puzzled.

"The selection of the Guardian successor is strictly confidential. The process is not public, and the test items are also..."

Having said this, Bronya was unable to close her eyes, and her voice became more trembling.

"The chosen child must say goodbye to the past, and that is why I became the daughter of Lady Cocolia."

"I'm so far, so far from being the next Guardian..."

"I witness Iron Guard soldiers sacrificed in the Rift every day, but I still can't bring myself to change my mother's mind."

"Now, I know the lower classes are suffering, but I'm powerless to change it."

"My former home was completely devoured by the Rift, and I was completely kept in the dark."

"In the end, I can't protect anything, I can't do anything..."

"Why was someone like me chosen? How could I possibly be the Great Guardian...?"

Ling Zhou: "Are you feeling sorry for yourself already? Don't let us look down on you."

Xier: "Hey - have you said enough?"

Eh?

Bronya was stunned for a moment and looked up at Lingzhou and Xier.

They happened to look at each other, obviously not expecting both parties to speak at the same time.

Lingzhou knew that he had to speak up and scold the person to wake him up.

Even if they don't curse, at least the words cannot be soft and calm.

"Even as you speak, the Rift continues to expand, and monsters continue to threaten your homeland."

"The upper echelons of the Iron Guard die every day, and the lower classes are struggling to find food and clothing. To survive, they're left with no choice but to choose a side, regardless of right or wrong."

"Do you know why I brought you to the lower district?"

Bronya was confused and shook her head subconsciously.

A hint of contempt appeared on Lingzhou's lips.

"That's because as the commander of the Iron Guard, you care about the people, never neglect your duties, and understand the difference between right and wrong."

"I brought you down here so you can see with your own eyes what the mother you trusted has done for over a decade."

"Now you know, but your reaction disappoints me."

"Whether you, the future Great Guardian, are useful or not depends not on words but on actions."

"Oh, sorry, maybe this world won't last until you take over."

"So, you only have two choices now—"

"First, isn't there a museum on the upper floor? When you get back to the surface, crawl into the 'Incompetent Heir' display case and become an exhibit awaiting your demise."

"Second, as the successor to the Grand Guardian, rebel in your own way and rectify the mistakes made by this Grand Guardian."

"Can't do anything, can't protect anything?"

"What a joke! You've already realized you're failing before you even take action?"

"It's not that you can't do anything, it's just that you don't want to and don't dare to do it."

"There's a saying that goes 'ride a donkey to find a horse,' meaning if you don't have a horse, you should ride the donkey first and start on your journey first, rather than waiting until you have a horse."

"The upper guards are bleeding, and the lower-class people are bleeding too. However, their blood means nothing to this dying world."

"If you still remember that you are the Commander of the Iron Guard, the heir to the Grand Guardian, then raise your head—"

"From now on, take your first step on your donkey. Use the gun in your hand to give meaning to the blood shed by your compatriots!"

"Don't be like a hopeless person, crying and making excuses for yourself."

Bronya was completely stunned by Lingzhou's rapid-fire words.

Xier opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but then realized that Lingzhou had finished the words for her.

Much better than her, that's for sure.

Chapter 67: On the Eve of Dawn

[Wow, Lingzhou's words are quite straightforward and realistic.]

【This is the first time I've seen him look like this.】

[I'm just trying to provoke Yaya. Although Yaya can't do anything, the password is correct, but the account is wrong.]

For a moment, the confusion in Bronya's eyes disappeared.

"If you listen to soothing voices too much, you'll become stupid. Thank you, Lingzhou."

When Xi'er heard this, she blurted out, "You have such a heavy burden. Someone should have scolded you long ago."

"Like Lingzhou said, you must be clear about the responsibilities on your shoulders."

"Whether you are the leader of the Silver Mane Iron Guard or the heir to the Grand Guardian, you are destined to make a choice and set an example."

When Lao Xiong saw this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Sometimes people just need the stimulation of talk therapy to become clear-headed."

"Should I say this? Lingzhou is a very competent doctor. He claims he can't cure mental illness, but didn't this long series of talk therapy successfully wake Bronya up?"

"What she just said was really hypocritical. It's okay to feel sorry for yourself."

You're right, this is what a reliable adult is.

[While Ye and Hook were searching, Lingzhou unexpectedly found information about Yaya's background in an orphanage, confirming her adoption.]

[No wonder in the previous storyline, Cocolia was like crazy and didn't seem to care about Yaya's life.]

[Being bewitched by the star core is like this, perhaps it wasn't her original intention.]
