Preparing to Backstab Cocolia

Cocolia's mouth twitched as she looked at the exceptionally intelligent Theresa, but the voice of the Stellaron in her mind rang out.

"No way, no way, Cocolia, you actually believed it?"

"Child, you're getting too caught up in appearances."

The genderless voice of the Stellaron echoed in Cocolia's consciousness, but she didn't respond.

"Uh, Guardian, you don't need to mind her. She gets a bit silly sometimes."

Dan Heng gestured for March 7th and Stelle to block Theresa, saying.

March 7th and Stelle awkwardly smiled and blocked the silly Theresa.

Cocolia thought for a moment.

"Alright, I believe you. If the current situation is truly related to this Stellaron, your arrival will be the hope Belobog has waited for nearly seven hundred years. I am willing to offer all possible assistance to help everyone find the Stellaron."

"It's getting late, and you must all be tired. I can arrange for you to stay at the most comfortable inn in the city to get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow at noon, I will send someone to invite you for a discussion about this matter."

Cocolia said with a meaningful expression. Everyone present smiled with joy upon hearing this, not noticing Cocolia's unusual demeanor.

"Thank you very much, Supreme Guardian."

Dan Heng politely agreed. He vaguely felt something was off about Cocolia. After being interrupted by March 7th, Stelle, and Theresa, Cocolia was being so agreeable?

"I should be thanking you, Travelers from beyond the stars."

Cocolia said with a smile.

"No! We are Trailblazers!"

"I'm not playing Genshin~"

Theresa chuckled intelligently and quipped at Cocolia.

"..."

"Ahem, I apologize, she does have some issues sometimes."

Dan Heng said with a pained expression, gesturing for March 7th or Stelle to pick up the silly Theresa.

"Mm, farewell."

Cocolia bid farewell to the Stellaron Hunters with a fake smile. Dan Heng nodded awkwardly, letting March 7th, holding Theresa, begin to leave. The Iron Cavalry opened the gates, and Cocolia watched the Stellaron Hunters depart, letting out a sigh of relief.

Just then, Theresa suddenly turned her head and stared at Cocolia, startling the already uneasy Cocolia. By the time she recovered, the Stellaron Hunters were long gone.

"Cocolia, you're not seriously scared by a silly little loli, are you?"

"Shut up, you're constantly nagging in my head, are you a chatterbox Stellaron? And you've messed me up like this, do you know how scared I am of being exposed?"

Cocolia shouted angrily in her mind. As her emotions fluctuated, ice-like crystalline formations subtly glowed on her body beneath her uniform.

"Cocolia, have you forgotten our deal? I will promise you a new world, and I need to gain freedom~"

The Stellaron's voice whispered in Cocolia's consciousness.

"I'm just tricking them, what are you rushing for?"

Cocolia replied in her mind to the Stellaron.

"It better be."

The Stellaron's whisper vanished. Cocolia clutched her head and sighed in relief. She gazed out the window, lost in thought, and finally, she made up her mind.

Outside, as the Stellaron Hunters exited the Kremlin, they saw Gepard. His stern expression had eased considerably.

"The Supreme Guardian seems to be quite fond of you. I have received new orders and no longer need to restrict your movements."

Gepard said with a smile. Theresa's expression had returned to normal, and Dan Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"After all, she is the ruler of the city. Such a commanding presence, so majestic!"

March 7th said enviously.

"Heh, I have official duties to attend to and must return to my post soon. I hope you enjoy your time in Belobog."

Gepard said, preparing to leave.

"Wait a moment, could you recommend some attractions? We have plenty of time and would like to explore."

March 7th asked Gepard expectantly.

"Places worth seeing include the Grand Theater and the Belobog Historical Museum. However, the museum requires identification for entry."

"I suggest you visit the Eternal Winter Monument first; it's Belobog's most symbolic landmark."

"If you're interested in music, you can visit the Perpetual Motion Machine House. They occasionally have open-air performances there. As for the performers... you'll know when you see them."

"Also, if you plan to stay at the Goethe Hotel, be sure to avoid the alley next to it where the Iron Cavalry is stationed. It has recently been affected by World of Calamity erosion and has been sealed off."

Gepard said earnestly.

"Has the World of Calamity erosion reached such a severe point? The situation is quite grim, isn't it?"

Dan Heng said to Gepard in surprise.

"Yes, we are fighting against it. I must take my leave now. I wish you all the best."

Gepard said with a wry smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to leave.

"Wait, Gepard."

Theresa said calmly at this moment. Dan Heng's heart tightened. He didn't know what kind of trouble Theresa was planning. After all, it was widely known throughout the galaxy that the masked performer of Joy was the most adept at causing chaos.

"What is it, Ms. Theresa?"

Gepard's expression stiffened as he turned around and asked the cute and beautiful Theresa.

"I'm just curious and want to ask a question. The Supreme Guardian said the Silvermane Guards would welcome us tomorrow, right?"

Theresa asked Gepard with a meaningful look.

"Naturally, you are honored guests."

Gepard replied earnestly.

"Then what if I said, what if she ordered us to be captured? What would you do?"

Theresa asked, smiling at a stunned Gepard. March 7th, Dan Heng, and Stelle also tensed up.

"That's impossible! If she wanted to capture you, she wouldn't have treated you with such courtesy."

Gepard replied, looking at Theresa seriously and warily.

"But what if it's true?"

Theresa chuckled meaningfully. Her adorable smile, however, made Gepard's heart clench.

"Assuming such a situation were to occur, I would make my own judgment."

"Alright, you don't need to worry unnecessarily. If the Supreme Guardian truly had such intentions, you would have already been attacked by the Silvermane Guards."

"I bid you farewell."

After saying this coldly, Gepard left quickly.

"Theresa, did you notice something?"

Dan Heng asked Theresa, who was smiling with deep meaning.

March 7th and Stelle also looked at Theresa curiously.

"Southeast, southwest wind, north, south, are there Silvermane Guards around?"

Theresa said subtly with a smile. Following Theresa's hint, everyone indeed saw the patrolling figures of the Silvermane Guards. March 7th and Stelle looked at Theresa in confusion, while Dan Heng had already understood.

"We're being watched."

"Don't look over there so obviously, pretend you don't know!"

At this point, Dan Heng understood that Theresa's unusual behavior was a pretense of foolishness. After all, who would be wary of someone acting foolishly? Theresa had already noticed Cocolia's strangeness.

Cecilia, who harbored murderous intent on the daily hanging diagram.
