Bengtie: A card pool character who gives knives to players

The core systems are intact, with only minor external damage, which can be easily repaired.

Mr. Swarovski was fine and no one suffered any serious casualties, so everyone was happy.

She was very glad that she had the courage to listen to Lingzhou and make changes.

"Big Brother, two sisters, are you leaving?"

Ling Zhou: "We've accomplished our purpose for coming to the lower district. We'll probably leave tomorrow."

Clara: "I wish you all the best. Clara will remember your help."

March Seven: "You're so sweet and sensible. Clara's performance is great. Sister March Seven will miss you."

Xing: "Without your advice, we probably wouldn't have been able to change Swarovski's rigidity. You really helped a lot."

Clara just shook her head at this.

She just wants everyone to survive and see the blue sky.

When Brother Lingzhou and Sister Xing protected the defeated Swarovski, they were actually protecting her family.

Otherwise, the angry members of the Earth Fire may not give up so easily.

"Mr. Swarovski's calculations cannot be separated from everyone's memories, so... Clara will definitely not forget you."

[Ah——My heart has been hit hard!]

[Clara, my wife, please take me away! ]

Our country has a complete set of criminal laws.

[Luckily Lingzhou is legal, hehe~~]

[Lady in front, please don't be so stuck. I'm also legal. Can I get a V? ]

[Go away, I only love Lingzhou husband! ]

Chapter 74 Flag Lines

After saying goodbye to Clara, the pioneering team was finally able to return to Rock Town and sit down and rest.

Goethe Hotel, in Xing's room.

March 7th lay down on the neat bed, lying in a big letter shape.

"The intense battle took a lot of energy. I'm so hungry. Lingzhou, is there anything left to eat?"

① "Weren't you standing by as a cheerleader when we were beating Swarovski just now?"

② "You eat so much, be careful not to gain weight."

"Huh? Cheerleaders?" Ah Xian curled his lips.

Sanyueqi jumped up from the bed and argued, "What cheerleading?!"

"I'm the long-range fire suppression guy, and I'll give you my blessing."

Xing was unable to explain, "The blessing you're referring to isn't it the shield made of six-phase ice?"

Sanyueqi put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows, with a cute warning look in her eyes, as if hinting to Xing to speak nicely.

"Any questions?"

"No……"

"Then I have to..."

"At best it will break if touched, but the color still looks nice." Xing Shicheng teased.

"???"

March 7th glared with his eyes wide open.

"Don't talk nonsense! Do you believe I can freeze you into an ice sculpture?"

"When are you going to freeze your hands? I'd like to ask for something to eat first."

Xing's eyes lit up when she saw the portable food Lingzhou took out.

San Yue Qi followed the direction of her gaze and couldn't help but give her a blank look.

"Just kidding."

My attention was drawn to the delicious food, so I had no time to argue with this guy.

While replenishing his energy, March 7 asked casually.

"The incident on the lower level has concluded. No casualties have been reported, and our promise to spare Swarlow as much harm as possible has been fulfilled."

"The ending isn't a happy one, but it's at least satisfying."

"And we can go find the star core next. The mission is going well, great."

"We just don't know where the star core is, and the real reason why Cocolia wants to kill us."

Xing blurted out: "Maybe it was taken over?"

Sanyueqi tilted his head: "What top number?"

Xing: "It means being controlled by the star core. Ling Zhou said that the star core of this world has 100% self-awareness."

San Yue Qi looked at Ling Zhou: "What do you think now?"

Ling Zhou pondered, "Cocolia probably knows where the star core is hidden, but we can't go and ask directly. Not only do we have no evidence, but if we meet, it's easy for a fight to the death."

Xing boldly speculated: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Is it possible that she has hidden the star core on her body?"

"Won't."

Lingzhou rejected this possibility.

"We've had close encounters with Cocolia. If the star core is in her possession, the star will definitely sense it."

Xing was stunned: "You told me about that special resonance before?"

"Yes, the principle is currently unknown. Based on the information currently available, it is speculated that only self-aware star cores will behave this way."

"But I..."

"The star core in your body is part of you, so it certainly has self-awareness."

Lingzhou knew what Xing was going to say and gave an explanation in advance.

Xing rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Now that you mention it, I had a strange dream. I heard Kokolia's voice and another voice."

"So-called special resonance, induction, is something like that, right?"

Ling Zhou: "It's impossible to prove it. Not only me, but everyone on the train is seeing a humanoid self-propelled star core for the first time."

When they heard him talk seriously about the humanoid self-propelled star core, many players laughed.

Sanyueqi: "So she can't sense the star core. Does that mean our subsequent actions will become like flying with no head?"

"Pretending to kidnap Bronya and threatening her is useless, poisoning her is useless, that Cocolia is simply unyielding."

“Oh right—”

Thinking about the poison, Sanyueqi realized that he had overlooked a big problem.

"Lingzhou, could Cocolia be...dead? You poisoned her."

Xing also remembered this and couldn't help but look at Lingzhou.

She had seen and experienced firsthand how powerful Lingzhou's poisoning skills were.

Oh no, that’s not poisonous if you experience it yourself.

In short, it is done without anyone noticing.

"Is it called Three Cries and Half Steps of Madness?"

March 7th recalled it carefully and shuddered at the thought of the effect.

"After crying three times, will I really die if I take even half a step?"

"die……"

Lingzhou had just said a word when there was a knock on the door.

"Dear guests of the Earth Fire, I apologize for disturbing your rest. Miss Bronya wishes to see you."

It’s Aunt Goldie, the restaurant owner.

Xing: "Looking to us at this hour, it seems she has figured it out."

Ling Zhou: "Sanyue, weren't you just worried about the next steps? I think going to see her will give you a direction."

Sanyueqi drank the sparkling water in his glass in one gulp: "What are we waiting for? Let's go~"

……

"What? You want to get back to the ground first?"

After hearing Bronya's plan, March Seven was quite surprised.

Bronya straightened her back and gripped the rifle tightly.

"Why did my mother hide this from me? And why did she order the capture of you who knew the true nature of the star core..."

"I must ask her about each and every one of these things in person."

Ling Zhou: "I won't stop you, but I want to know if you are mentally prepared and have a plan for the worst."

"certainly."

Bronya answered without hesitation, her face firm.

"I know you may strongly object, but I feel I cannot escape, let alone waver."

"Lady Cocolia raised me. I will never be able to repay her kindness in my lifetime."

"She taught me many life lessons and virtues, and taught me how to protect Beloberg and the people."

"Even though she's made a lot of decisions lately that I'm confused about, I still can't let go of all the good memories."

"I am deeply moved by Clara's determination, and I am incredibly grateful for the generous support you three provided."

Having said that, Bronya tapped the Iron Guard Medal on her chest with her fingertips.

"Out of both reason and obligation, I must stand before her and bravely express my position and thoughts."

"I hold onto one last glimmer of hope, hoping to reach a mutual understanding with Mother..."

"This is my wish as a daughter, and my unshirkable responsibility as a Silvermane Guardian."

"Three of you, I'm taking the liberty of visiting you tonight because..."

“Stop, stop, stop!”

San Yueqi unconsciously clutched his sleeves, looking worried.

"You're not going to...say something about the Flag line, are you?"

Bronya was confused.

What are Flag lines?

"No need to explain so clearly, Bronya."

Lingzhou glanced at his companions one by one.

"Just leave your back-up to us. We understand your perspective and believe you're not acting on impulse."

Bronya was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

"You really can see through people's hearts, Mr. Lingzhou."

She took out a letter and handed it to Lingzhou.

"If I cannot reach a consensus with Mother, or if something unexpected happens to me, please find an opportunity to give this letter to the Langdao siblings."

"Shiluwa and Jeppard are both upright people and have extraordinary influence in Beloberg. I trust them 100%."

"As long as they see my letter and my handwriting, they will definitely help you find the star core."
