In the story, after fighting Gepard, March 7th began explaining that her group was not affiliated with Sampo, and she took out a photo of the planet taken from outer space.
Looking at the vast white planet, Gepard was inwardly shocked. After thinking it over, he decided to take them to meet Belobog's Supreme Guardian!
Along the way, Gepard began recounting Belobog's history, and the viewers finally learned why the planet had become like this.
First, it had been invaded by the Anti-Matter Legion. Then the Stellaron appeared, freezing the entire planet, including the Anti-Matter Legion.
Under the Builders' leadership, the surviving people had built the planet's last pure land—Belobog—and used it to resist the Fragmentum Monsters created by the Stellaron.
Looking at Belobog in the story, surrounded by towering walls, the barrage began discussing it.
"So that's how it is. There are Builders on this planet too!"
"What a disaster-ridden place—first the Anti-Matter Legion, then the Stellaron!"
"Walls. Such familiar walls!"
"This isn't free at all!"
"One day, I'll drive out every last Fragmentum Monster!"
When Gepard brought them into Kliperberg, Bronya inside seemed to be arguing with Cocolia about something.
Bronya: [...But such sacrifices are meaningless. You can't—]
Cocolia: [You may leave, Bronya. The visitors have arrived.]
With no other choice, Bronya could only leave.
[Yes, Mother.]
Pela, who had been watching the livestream all along, widened her eyes. Even her right hand could not hide her little mouth's astonishment.
Something had felt off ever since she started watching the story. Now that the Former Supreme Guardian had appeared, Pela hurriedly got up and took her phone to report to Bronya.
If she was not mistaken, this should have been the scene when the Star Rail Express had first arrived in Belobog. Then didn't that mean what came next would be...!
Bronya's appearance in the story also sparked discussion among the viewers.
"It's Bronya! I pulled her!"
"A five-star Wind Element Harmony character. She's support—I want a Main DPS!"
"What the hell do you know? Main DPS characters come and go, but supports last forever! Supports are the key, get it?"
"Her Skill can immediately let the Main DPS act. She's a turn-based action-advance support, so her strength should be pretty good!"
"It's just that there aren't enough Skill Points to use her. Her Skill costs one, then the Main DPS costs another—we're getting drained dry!"
"What? How did you know I pulled Eidolon 1 Bronya and her Signature Light Cone? It doesn't feel clunky at all!"
"You bastard!"
"Is that Cocolia the Supreme Guardian? She looks pretty young. She's actually Bronya's mother!"
"Cocolia: How many times have I told you? Address me by my title while we're working!"
After bringing the three of them there, Gepard left. As Supreme Guardian, Cocolia knew some history of the world beyond, and she knew the three were not from this planet.
The two sides began communicating. The Train Crew's purpose was to seal the Stellaron and stabilize the rails. After learning this, Cocolia said she would consult the records and had already arranged accommodations for them.
Then the camera zoomed in on Cocolia, who had been standing in the distance.
That exquisitely modeled figure instantly seized everyone's attention, and Lao Mu became so absorbed in looking that he forgot about the story.
"Oh~ That camera angle wasn't my doing, okay? It's like this in the official story!"
Lao Mu hurriedly raised both hands to declare his innocence, and the barrage immediately grew livelier.
"So huge... no, so white!"
"Holy shit, th-this-this isn't right! That figure..."
"I'd say this Cocolia still has plenty of charm!"
"Bronya, you might be getting another daddy!"
"Young Mother!"
"That's why you watch the streamer. I didn't even notice this when I played through it!"
"I just wonder if Cocolia can be pulled. She could pull me too!"
"Damn it, who keeps saying Mother-Daughter Bowl? Keep this up and my livestream's getting shut down!"
Seeing the outrageous barrage, Lao Mu hurriedly continued the story, afraid those comments would get his livestream taken down.
The next Cocolia seemed to hear some kind of voice and began talking to herself.
"? Who is she talking to?"
"It's over, it's over! The werewolf exposed herself right at the start!"
"Looking at it this way, Cocolia is definitely the big villain!"
"This is interesting. The Supreme Guardian is actually the villain! I'm looking forward to what happens next!"
As the story ended, it entered a free exploration section. Lao Mu saw Pela explaining history to some children.
[Everyone can just call me Pela.]
[Big Sis Pe~la~]
Lao Mu controlled the protagonist into the group and copied the children.
Pela: [...Could certain adults please stop casually imitating children!]
"Damn it, how am I not a child? I'm just a baby who hasn't even reached a full month old!"
From the Embryo Vessel created by Kafka to the current Himeko, strictly speaking, he really was not even a month old yet!
Later in the story, he went to the Mechanics Workshop and met Serval, then checked the current extent of the Fragmentum's corrosion. It had clearly already reached the city's interior.
When he arrived at the road connecting to the Lower City, Lao Mu saw a yellow glowing point flickering on the fence. Thinking there was something there, he clicked on it.
[For some reason, a young girl's voice suddenly rang out in your mind: The area below can be explored later!]
"Holy shit, isn't that our Yuan Nong Zhou meme? Remember to credit the source next time!"
"Hahaha, you lunatic, that actually made me laugh!"
"The official game is using memes!"
"Using memes like this makes me worry about the mental state of the game's writers!"
After making a round, Lao Mu saw another yellow glowing point on a trash can and curiously clicked it as well.
[A completely ordinary trash can.]
[You stared at the trash can for a long time, but it was still a completely ordinary trash can.]
March 7th: [Uh... what are you trying to do?]
[You resisted the urge to open it.]
[You stared at the trash can for a long time. It seemed to have changed—the Cold Iron Barrel was no longer covered in rust, and the dents in its body had become much smoother.]
[A golden glow faintly seeped from beneath the lid—sweet and tempting.]
[For a moment, you even felt that the trash can had become a treasure chest.]
March 7th: [...So this moment has finally come.]
[You took a deep breath, reached out, and lifted the lid: There was nothing inside—]
[No. You bent down, reached into the trash can, and picked up an iron sheet from the bottom. Hard work paid off—you had finally found treasure!]
[You turned around and saw your Companions looking at you with complicated expressions.]
March 7th: [...Don't explain. I understand. For you, that urge is just too powerful.]
Dan Heng: [Once someone sets foot on this path, there's no turning back.]
After the story dialogue ended, he had actually received a trash can avatar!
The barrage was also amused by the absurd writing.
"Hahahaha, wait, digging through trash cans actually gives rewards?"
"What is this, Trash Can Literature?"
"Ah, I can't take it anymore. This game is way too interesting! It has way too many memes!"
"We found a tiny amount of game inside all these memes!"
"March 7th and Dan Heng are probably going to pretend they don't know us anymore, hahaha!"
"This game knows we love rummaging through trash cans and are terrified of missing rewards!"
"I... can't turn back anymore! I'm going to search every trash can in this city!"
Sick Wardrobe, Backup Hidden Energy Activated!
"You're saying that the story in this game might be exactly identical to everything that happened in Belobog before?"
Bronya had learned about the game from Pela. Her brows were tightly furrowed as she pondered something.
If the game's story developed normally afterward, it should show her mother being controlled by the Stellaron and fighting the Star Rail Express crew to the death, right?
Then the truth of the incident she had tried so hard to conceal would be made public too, wouldn't it?
The previous Supreme Guardian had actually been bewitched by the Stellaron and attempted to destroy all of Belobog to create a new world!
If it really came to that, would the people still believe in her, the daughter of the Former Supreme Guardian?
"What are you thinking about, Bronya!"
Seele stood against the wall with her arms crossed. Having also heard Pela's account, she slowly approached Bronya and spoke.
"It's been over for a long time. Under your leadership as Supreme Guardian, everything in Belobog is going smoothly. The Lower City Lockdown has been lifted, people's lives are getting better and better, and we'll all support you!"
Hearing Seele beside her, Bronya felt much more at ease.
She had originally been considering whether to suppress the news, but the truth could not be hidden forever.
Perhaps this was the best time. It could also present the truth more objectively and comprehensively.
After considering it, Bronya decided to have Pela keep watching to see whether the later story matched reality, while she got up to discuss the matter with the Architect Faction.
"Thank you, Seele. I'll do my best!"
Bronya took Seele's hand and looked at her with determined eyes, making Seele feel a little embarrassed.
"Y-you understand, then!"
Pela watched from the side, her heart pounding. So sweet!
Back to the Main Story.
The three members of the Train Crew finished their exploration outside and returned to the hotel. Looking at the Luxury Suite, March 7th was even wondering whether they should have a pillow fight.
March 7th: [Looks like this Trailblaze Mission has gone really smoothly! Not only did we get VIP Treatment, an ultra-luxurious hotel, but we also have the local faction's full support!]
Looking at what March 7th said and recalling Cocolia's strange behavior earlier, Lao Mu said,
"Wow, March 7th, don't raise a flag like that!"
Dan Heng in the story had also noticed that something was off about Cocolia. After discussing it, the three returned to their rooms to rest.
Upon entering his room, Lao Mu immediately set his sights on the Gleaming Wardrobe!
[It was so alluring... alluring enough to make you want to hurry inside and let its scent wrap around your entire body.]
[Whatever—I'm going in, wardrobe!]
[You succeeded—congratulations, you have now become one with the most perfect wardrobe in the universe!]
[Wait, do you hear that? A sound is approaching—click, click...]
[That is the demon inhabiting the Goethe Hotel! It sleeps in a filthy, uncleaned little attic... and feeds exclusively on pitiful, innocent outsiders.]
[...But this time, it picked the wrong opponent! You are the universe-renowned Trailblazer, guardian of the Herta Space Station, the Doomsday Beast's... uh... doomsday. Right—today is the day you rid the people of evil!]
[Room Service... is anyone there?]
[Ha, just what I wanted! All hotel demons love disguising themselves as... How unoriginal.]
