"But... such a sacrifice is meaningless. We now have the opportunity to choose!"
Cocolia, who was standing next to the Guardian's desk, looked at Bronya coldly: "You can leave now, Bronya, the visitor has arrived."
Bronya wanted to say something, but when she found out that the visitors were Pei Guang and Xing Hou, with whom she had wanted to communicate last night but failed, her eyes widened.
"Mother! They are..."
Before she finished her words, Cocolia expelled her again: "Bronya, I say! You can leave now."
After a moment of silence, Bronya's voice calmed down: "Yes, mother."
Feeling Cocolia's anger, Bronya opened her mouth and turned away. Before leaving, she memorized Pei Guang's appearance for the third time.
Last night, when she returned, Pei Guang and Xing were gone, and only some trash cans were left at the scene. Today, she had a conversation with her mother, Cocolia, and Bronya was sure that the other party was an alien. At the same time, she heard the golden light that shot up into the sky and the star destroyer that Pei Guang talked about with Xing.
A ship that can destroy a planet must be able to take away all the people in Beloberg. Although the other party might not respond to her request, Bronya thought that it was worth a try to ask Pei Guang and his group for such an opportunity, even if the success rate was slim.
But she didn't expect that her mother would directly refuse, and the previous policies would continue to be implemented, even...
She memorized Pei Guang's appearance, and she was ready to wait outside for Pei Guang and his friends to come out. This time, she absolutely could not let Pei Guang run away.
Cocolia also looked at Jeppard at this time: "The messenger has told me about their affairs, Jeppard, you can go out. By the way, let Bronya wait for my order outside."
Jeppard said nothing more and turned and left.
With Jeppard's departure, only Cocolia, Pei Guang and a group of four were left in the entire Klipper Castle.
Watching everyone leave, Pei Guang whispered, "See? She's clearing the area. The plot is over and there will be a big fight."
Xing: “I’m ready.”
Cocolia only saw them communicating carefully but didn't hear anything, so she was calm: "Welcome! Visitors from outside the cold wave... no, from outside the sky, right? I am Cocolia Rand, the guardian of Beloberg, and I am here to listen to your intentions."
Xing introduced himself directly: "How do you know where we are from? Don't you doubt us?"
Cocolia smiled: "No, I have no doubt. I can see that you are not from this world. The city builders remember history so that they can strengthen their hearts. I know the distant past..."
Pei Guang didn't listen to a word of the conversation. Because in his opinion, this battle was inevitable. An empty field, a single enemy, and a hostile tone, what did this mean? Did it mean that a fight was about to start?
When Xing and Cocolia were communicating, Pei Guang moved his position and came to the side of March Seven, and blocked Cocolia's sight with his body. March Seven also understood what Pei Guang was going to do, they were fighting side by side, and when Pei Guang made this move, it proved that he was protecting the main C.
As for Sanyueqi, who is an auxiliary and part-time main C, he is ready to provide a shield for Pei Guang.
"We are here to carry out a mission."
Pei Guang was still concentrating on how to start a team fight, but Xing suddenly mentioned the mission. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Xing: "Mission? Where is the mission? I only saw the BOSS!"
March 7: "Who understands what you are saying?"
Dan Heng also realized that the atmosphere was wrong and took over the conversation. However, at this time, Pei Guang had the lid of the trash can on his head, his left arm holding the lid of the trash can, and his right hand wooden sword pointed at Cocolia.
"Dan Heng! Stop talking. The old woman has no intention of saving the world, let alone solving the star core problem. It's useless to say more to her."
After speaking to Dan Heng, Pei Guang interrupted the angry Kokolia and said, "We told you that we were going to find the star core and you gave us doubts? You told me that you didn't know what the star core was?"
This sentence made Cocolia laugh: "Yes, we have encountered these disasters, but..."
Before she could finish her words, Pei Guang said directly: "Your next sentence is, what does it have to do with you?"
Because Pei Guang spoke faster than Cocolia, she repeated Pei Guang's words after he finished speaking: "What does it have to do with you?"
Cocolia's face turned pale, while Pei Guang said slowly: "Our mission is to seal the star core. Once the mission is completed, we will have our rewards. As long as you kill the star core, your world will be safer."
Cocolia suppressed her anger and looked at Pei Guang with an awkward smile on her face: "You..."
Pei Guang spoke faster than Cocolia: "What are you going to say next? "Do you have a way to seal that thing called the star core?"
Cocolia: "Do you have a way to seal that thing called the star core?"
Cocolia's face turned even worse. The rhythm was completely controlled by the stranger, which put her in a very disadvantageous position. She wanted to order him to leave.
However, Pei Guang spoke before she could finish her words. This time, Cocolia had experience and chose to keep silent.
But Pei Guang still guessed what she was going to do.
"In theory, our interests are the same, but you don't want to seal the Star Core, or even verify whether our words are true or false, because you want to use the Star Core to completely destroy the world. Because of this, even though you know what the Star Core is, you have no intention of sealing it at all. So what you are going to do next is to let us go back and rest, and while you say you will provide us with as much assistance as possible, you will privately mobilize soldiers to capture us tomorrow. Do you think I am right?"
Chapter 37 Cocolia: "When it comes to a battle of wits, you're no match for me!"
At this moment, Cocolia's teeth were chattering with anger, because Pei Guang had guessed all her thoughts, without any mistakes, not a single mistake.
Pei Guang smiled excitedly and pointed his sword at Cocolia: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Watching this scene, Dan Heng sighed helplessly. But he did not stop it, because this time he was deliberately trying Pei Guang and Xing. No matter what Pei Guang and Xing chose to do, as long as it did not violate the most basic principles, he would not intervene. But why did he feel so overwhelmed?
Pei Guang took the wooden sword and took two steps forward, pointing the tip of the sword at Cocolia: "Come on! Let me guess. Your first step is to doubt our intentions. Your suspicion seems logical, but in fact it is full of loopholes. You will say, 'If there is really a star core that caused the disaster, there is no connection with us, and I don't believe that we would go to great lengths to help a world that has nothing to do with us and has no intention, right?' Is that right?"
Cocolia didn't say anything, but her face, which looked as pale as pig liver, proved that Pei Guang's guess was correct.
Pei Guang sneered, "Realistic games are good, and the reactions are so real. I have killed at least 800 bosses like you. You pretended to know nothing and even sneered at the kindness of outsiders. Do you know what your biggest mistake is? As a senior executive, especially a leader in the end times, you pursue survival, and survival is the first need of civilization. When facing us who can solve the survival crisis, the first thing you think of is not to verify the authenticity of our words for the sake of survival. Instead, you drive away the possibility of survival. What is your intention, Kokolia?"
Cocolia wanted to speak, but before she could get her words out, Pei Guang interrupted her spell again.
"What do you mean we know? Sorry, I know everything. I once survived in 150 degrees below zero weather with a stove to keep out the unruly people who wanted to visit prostitutes at night. And you are thinking about how to frame us, arrest us after we leave, or even kill us."
"Everything you do is accelerating the destruction of this world and the demise of civilization."
"But if you can become a great guardian, then the background story shouldn't be so stupid. Let me guess, is it that your important relatives died? And then the star core told you that it can revive your relatives, it..."
Before Pei Guang could finish his last words, the temperature in the room dropped rapidly.
Dan Heng was ready to attack. Based on Pei Guang's description and the other party's changes, he was sure that the other party should have been eroded by the star core. Being eroded and tempted by the star core was something that happened in many worlds.
But at this moment, Cocolia smiled brightly, and the temperature in the room returned to normal.
As a great guardian, although Cocolia had fallen into madness, her ability to judge people had not disappeared. She showed a bright smile on her face and spoke at the same time: "Silver Mane Guard! Yes, an assassin."
Outside of Cribb Castle, Jeppard had called Bronya to the door to wait for orders, but when she heard the word "assassin", she rushed over almost immediately. In addition, the Silver Mane Guards who had been deployed to the vicinity of Cribb Castle by Cocolia for various reasons also rushed over when they heard the assassin.
"?"
Pei Guang almost had a question mark in his head. Why did this boss do the opposite? Thanks to his habit of making a few life-saving preparations before fighting a boss, he also prepared to run away in advance.
In fact, Pei Guang guessed wrongly. Kokolia didn't want to kill him when he knew the truth. But when she heard from Jeppard that someone could buff the Silvermane Guard, she was ready to kill Pei Guang and his group. What she wanted was the whole world to be reborn in the Rift, not the Silvermane Guard who rekindled their fighting spirit. She wanted to ban the song and kill the people.
She had finally used various methods to reduce the faith and fighting power of the Silver Mane Iron Guards, and suddenly a song ignited their fighting spirit? This was not good. So from the very beginning, she planned to ruin Pei Guang and his group. Let them make all their efforts in vain, and at the same time she was ready to speed up the action.
What could be more discredited than being an assassin?
Pei Guang discovered the truth? Was he an outsider? So what? Just order all the Silver Mane Guards to kill him, kill him at all costs, and see if he will kill everyone. It would be a good thing if he could kill a few more Silver Mane Guards, so that his plan could be executed faster.
What if the truth was made public? She, Kokolia, was the Great Guardian, and Pei Guang and the others were outsiders after all.
The Silver Mane Iron Guards moved very quickly. When Pei Guang and his group were preparing to fight, the Silver Mane Iron Guards had already broken into the room.
Jeppard immediately gave way: "Protect Lady Cocolia!"
If they were blocked, he was worried that Pei Guang and his group would fight to the death and hurt Cocolia. Only by leaving a way out and allowing them to retreat could Cocolia be safe.
Cocolia smiled at this time: "What can you do to me? In terms of wits, my calculations are better than yours!"
"... "
Pei Guang was silent, while San Yue Qi looked at him and said, "How about we run?"
Dan Heng reminded: "It seems that she has long planned not to let us leave. You have done a good job."
Dan Heng noticed Kokolia's expression and the speed of the surrounding guards. If they were a few minutes slower or had fewer people, he believed Pei Guang would have a way to get rid of Kokolia. But now, seeing Pei Guang's frown, he knew that Pei Guang had no other way.
But should he blame Pei Guang? No, not only did he not think Pei Guang did anything wrong, but he felt that Pei Guang had been very well prepared.
Before coming, he had improved everyone's overall strength. At the same time, he did not attack rashly, but attacked the other party's heart first, and waited for the other party to take the initiative or expose themselves before attacking.
As for being caught? It doesn't matter if it's one day earlier or later. Pei Guang's analysis is correct. Even if they leave today, they will still be caught later or tomorrow. They still have to run away.
On the contrary, face-to-face confrontation helped them find the correct direction, making subsequent actions more convenient.
Xing: "Are we going to be caught?"
Pei Guang: "Stupid! If they kill you in the plot, you will definitely run away. How can you kill all the NPCs in a game to complete a mission? If you kill them all, the magical side quest will be gone."
Thinking of the possibility of getting rich in the future, Xing decided to run away.
San Yueqi behind Pei Guang suddenly thought of something and laughed excitedly, "Huh? I won? How did I win?"
San Yueqi never expected that she would lose the bet she made with Pei Guang on the train. After all, the journey was too smooth, and looking at Pei Guang's final performance, as long as she angered the other party and succeeded in making him take action, she would surely win.
The materials Pei Guang gave her made her understand the destiny of protection more deeply. The shield she released could also withstand more attacks. In addition, this time it was four against one! How could she lose?
But who would have thought that the other party had already planned it, and even prepared to use soldiers to delay. Although they could kill them all, their mission was to seal the star core, not to fight and kill.
San Yue Qi asked excitedly: "Are we going to run away now? But A Guang, you lose! We are going to be caught because of misunderstanding, hehe ~ you lose ~"
Pei Guang: "I lost, I lost~!"
Pei Guang sighed and said, "What a pity! Our main mission is to find the star core, seal the star core, and resolve the crisis brought by the star core. Wushuang can indeed get the star core directly, but killing irrelevant people will reduce the mission evaluation."
Dan Heng: "From the current point of view, running away is indeed the best option, but are you also prepared to run away?"
Pei Guang: "Of course! I'm ready to fail the first wave of challenges due to the plot, but we have to rush out first."
Xing heard Pei Guang's words and remembered what Pei Guang made last night: "Is it that?"
Pei Guang: "Yes! That's it!"
At this moment, Dan Heng's evaluation of Pei Guang was much higher. As a pioneer, he had to be flexible and able to advance or retreat when necessary. No! To be precise, he was very optimistic about Pei Guang from the moment he met him.
Although he looked crazy, he could prepare many things in advance. However, when he saw what Pei Guang prepared for him, his evaluation would probably turn negative.
Chapter 38: Off the beaten path, roadside trash can
Since Pei Guang has made preparations, let's just follow his preparations.
Looking at the iron guards getting closer and closer, Dan Heng spoke.
"Observe the three corners..."
As Dan Heng started to speak, Xing subconsciously continued, "Indecisive."
Pei Guang: “Unexpected!”
March 7: "Here... Wait, stop playing idioms! This is the old code of the train group. When we count to one, we will run. Where are you running, A Guang?"
Pei Guang arranged the things in his backpack into an order that was convenient for taking out, and replied, "I didn't play the idiom chain game. You guys will follow me later. What I am best at is not taking the usual path."
Dan Heng remembered Pei Guang's words and continued: "The king's orders are irreversible..."
Xing and Sanyueqi understood Pei Guang's hint very well. When they were fighting with Pei Guang, when had Pei Guang ever taken the right path? He would just tear down whatever was convenient for him.
Because of the distance, neither Cocolia nor Jeppard's group who surrounded them heard their conversation, and Bronya was also a little confused at this time. Something was wrong at the scene, very wrong. They said there was an assassin, but the problem was that Pei Guang and his group were very far away from Cocolia and didn't even plan to take action. How could it be an assassin?
"Borrow one with the city!"
Pei Guang took the first step. He had a lot of throwing objects in his backpack, and he threw all of them out at this moment.
"Eat my bomb!"
All the suspicious items wrapped in black bags were thrown out.
Jeppard rushed forward without any hesitation and deployed a shield to resist the explosion. He didn't expect Pei Guang and his group to be so crazy and prepare so many bombs. He felt very regretful. If he didn't trust him so much...
Jeppard was ready to die, and even Cocolia subconsciously took a few steps back when she saw so many "bombs". Out of instinct, some of the Iron Guards subconsciously closed their eyes, while some who were not afraid of death opened their arms to resist the explosion and help their comrades survive.
The quick-reacting soldiers even raised their guns to destroy the dozens of "bombs" in the air.
"Mother!"
Bronya also instinctively pounced on Cocolia. Looking at so many "bombs", Bronya had only one thought at this time, which was to protect her mother.
With so many bombs, Kokolia subconsciously prepared to block them. However, when everyone was ready to die, they found that these things did not explode. Instead, their bodies were covered with sticky, soft things with various strange smells.
At this moment, when the rotten egg liquid flowed down her face, Cocolia's mentality collapsed: "Kill them!!!"
This is garbage, the garbage that Pei Guang collected last night. Pei Guang collected this garbage carefully and packed it in the garbage bags he got from the Black Tower Space Station. However, the others are all real garbage, and the smell can be removed by washing. The garbage thrown to Cocolia is not real garbage, but it contains rotten eggs. As for how it smells? Anyway, Pei Guang has not smelled it, so he doesn't know how it smells, but Cocolia can definitely experience its beauty.
When he suddenly threw out such a large amount of garbage with a bomb in his mouth, these people subconsciously tried to block him. Pei Guang wanted their subconscious blocking action.
Pei Guang admitted that these soldiers were very aware. Even with such a wave of soldiers still blocking the gate, who told them that they had to go through the gate?
Just as they were trying to block him, he and his men smashed a hole in the wall and ran away.
Go through the front door? How is that possible? As a player, if there is a choice, I will not go through the front door.
"hateful!"
