Star Dome Railway: The system taught me to be invincible

"I heard that a silver-maned iron guard came to the lower area...is it you?"

Xi'er put her hands on her hips and turned to look at Bronya behind her, her eyes were dark and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Ah."

Bronya nodded slightly.

"Oh? I wonder what you, a young lady from an upper-class district, want to do when you come to our lower-class district?"

Xier clasped her hands on her chest and stared at Bronya closely, pressing closer and closer.

"Isn't it comfortable to stay on the ground? Do you know what the underground looks like? Have you ever considered the life and death of the people at the bottom?"

Speaking of this, Xier's eyes widened and she looked at the pale Bronya with an unkind expression.

Seeing Bronya's brightly dressed clothes, which formed a sharp contrast with the clothes of people in the lower class area, Xi'er thought of some bad memories.

As a child, she had only been to the Upper District once.

That was after she met Oleg—at that time, Oleg was still the captain of the silver-ink iron guard responsible for the security of the lower district.

In order to give her a glimpse of the city she had longed for, Oleg hid her in his supply bag and returned to the upper level through the cable car.

She followed Oleg to visit the famous places in Belloberg, ate delicious food that she had never tasted before, and wore beautiful clothes beyond her imagination.

But she remembers scaring away a group of children with her crude miner slang, which made Oleg laugh.

In just two days, she and Oleg were immersed in laughter every minute.

In the evening before leaving, the two of them sat on a bench in the administrative square, and she stared at the restaurant opposite.

[Is the upper area fun, Xier? Do you want to come again? 】

[Uncle, I have a question. 】

【...What's wrong? Ask. 】

[Those upper-class people only ate half of their food and threw it away]

【…】

Ollie didn't answer and remained silent.

[Do they know there are people underground who don’t have enough to eat?]

Oleg caught Xi'er's expression, and a trace of gloom passed over her young face.

[Let’s go back, uncle. I don't want to come back again. 】

Since then, she has been very unfavorable to the upper class, and it has been a long time now.

Amid Xi'er's continuous questioning, the atmosphere became increasingly tense and explosive.

"The Silvermane Iron Guard is not just sitting comfortably on the ground. The Iron Guard are always fighting the enemy, protecting Beroberg from monsters...protecting everyone above and below the ground."

Bronya couldn't help but start to argue eagerly after hearing Xi'er's words.

For some reason, perhaps due to some inexplicable feeling, she didn't want the girl named Xi'er across from her to misunderstand her.

"Hey, what you say is better than what you sing. What did you protect underground? Move all the iron guards up and block the upper and lower passages. To put it nicely, isn't it to protect the so-called [city builders]?"

Xi'er couldn't help but sneered when she heard Bronya's excuse, but still looked at Bronya coldly, feeling very unhappy.

"The Guardian has her own considerations..."

Bronya had little confidence. If she had been able to firmly refute Xie'er's question before.

But after Lin Shuo's incident, she also began to reflect on whether the Great Guardian was right.

In order to find this answer, she came to the lower area alone, just to find out her true nature.

"Anyway, come with me. Boss Oleg wants to see you. He seems to have a lot of questions to ask."

When Oleg was mentioned, Xi'er's voice softened a bit. This old man had put in too much effort for the stability of the lower district.

"What a coincidence, Miss Xi'er! We also have something to do and want to visit the leader! Can we go together as a group?"

After hearing the news that Xi'er was going to Oleg's place, Sambo, who had been waiting for a long time, spoke.

"Who wants to partner with you!"

"Who are these people?"

Xi'er said coldly, glancing at Lin Shuo and others waiting nearby with confused expressions on their faces.

"We are Sambo's friends!"

Lin Shuo said calmly, he knew that Xier was not very talkative sometimes.

"His friends? Most of the underground are your enemies."

Xi'er's voice had a slightly gloating tone.

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

Sambo rubbed his hands and said with a sly expression.

"Especially this little brother, he is very strong. He is about as high as several floors. Miss Xi'er must have seen it just now."

Sang Bo pointed at Lin Shuo, who had a plain face.

"Okay, but Dihuo encountered some trouble in the big mining area, and the boss happened to be busy dealing with it. If you really want to see him, come to me at the entrance of the mining area."

With that said, Xier left early.

"Miss Bronya, I don't know what happened. Why did you come to this lower area alone?"

March 7 asked curiously.

"Sorry about what happened in the upper area before. I was also ordered by the Great Guardian to arrest you. It was not my original intention."

"Actually, when I first received this order, I had a dispute with the Great Guardian."

"However, she used the power of the Great Guardian to order me to do this."

Bronya apologized to Lin Shuo.

"Well, it's okay, I can probably guess that."

Lin Shuo shook his head. He didn't take this matter to heart.

"Oh? Is there any hidden secret in it?"

Dan Heng calmly asked the key point.

"I don't know. I only know that the Great Guardian has changed a lot. He seems to be more ruthless than before."

"The Great Guardian didn't say what happened, and Jeppard also rushed to the front line. I don't understand why the Great Guardian did that!"

Bronya thought back to the Great Guardian's unsparing words when she was at Clipper Castle.

It was said that Lin Shuo and his party might have, probably had, a criminal motive. This accusation sounded completely unfounded to her.

Hearing these words, Lin Shuo felt a lot certain in his heart.

There is a high probability that Cocolia's consciousness was completely eroded by the star core, and the last trace of clarity was also swallowed up, resulting in inconsistent behavior.

"Let's go, it's time to go have some fun!"

Lin Shuo said.

"However, there is one thing to do before that."

With that said, Lin Shuo dialed Xingmei's phone number.

"Hey, Lin Shuo, what are you doing? I'm busy."

Lin Shuo clearly heard the sound of searching for something coming from Xingmei's end. It was obvious that Xingmei was rummaging for something outside.

"Stop looking for the box and go back and protect Esta. She is sleeping and we have something to do!"

Lin Shuo couldn't help but warn.

"Hey, hey, hey! Lin Shuo, don't talk nonsense, I'm not looking for a box."

On the other end of the phone was Xingmei's confident voice.

"Yes, yes, I'm not looking for the treasure chest, I'm looking through the trash can, that's it!"

Lin Shuo said helplessly, "Just by hearing this voice, it's not like I don't know what you are doing. I originally wanted to save you some face."

"Dudu!"

Xingmei's answer suddenly stalled, and the call was quickly cut off.
