Lin Si touched her chin (though it was Bronya's chin), lost in thought.

If that's the case, then the game's plot becomes very clear.

He needs to cultivate power in the lower districts, subdue the "robot force," then lead the people of the lower districts in a rebellion against the oppression of the upper districts, and finally overthrow the incompetent Grand Guardian...

and many more.

Overthrow the Great Guardians?

Isn't that overthrowing Bronya's mother?

Lin Si looked down at the body she was controlling: Bronya Rand, daughter of the High Guardian.

If the plot really develops to that point, wouldn't that be...?

Love you, Mom, see you at Xuanwu Gate!

The battle at Xuanwu Gate: whoever wins will be the Great Guardian!

Lin Si's lips twitched.

The game's designers have some rather unusual tastes.

At this moment, Bronya's own consciousness also fell silent.

She was too young to understand these things when her mother ordered the lockdown of the lower districts.

At that time, all she knew was that the lower levels were sealed off; some people could no longer come up, and some could no longer go down. Her mother said it was a necessary measure to better protect Belloberg.

She believed it.

But now, looking back... she couldn't understand her mother's thoughts at all.

There are so many residents in the lower districts, so many children like her, who also have the right to live and the right to enjoy everything in Belleberg.

Why lock them up below?

Every time she went to her mother to talk about this, her mother always said to her:

"This is a necessary sacrifice."

"As a leader, you must learn to make choices."

Choices to make...

Bronya pondered those two words, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

She didn't know if what her mother said was right or wrong.

She didn't know what she would do if she were in her shoes.

But she knew one thing: the Demon King's first reaction upon hearing this was to frown, to be puzzled, and to think, "This Great Guardian's head has been squeezed by a door."

Although it was a harsh thing to say, Bronya suddenly felt a little envious of him.

I envy him for being able to judge right and wrong so easily, without having to consider those complicated trade-offs or bear those heavy responsibilities.

In his eyes, this was just a game.

In her eyes, this is everything she will have to bear in the future.

Lin Si and Sang Bo continued walking forward through the wind and snow.

After a long while, Lin Sicai spoke again:

"What's the name of that robot faction?"

Sambo thought for a moment.

"I think his name is...Swarovski? Yes, Boss Swaro. That's what everyone in the Lower District calls him."

Lin Si nodded and memorized the name.

Schwarz, robot, lower level.

I should go and meet them if I have the chance.

He looked up at the city gate that was getting closer and closer, and then glanced at Sambo beside him.

This smooth-talking guy, though unreliable, is certainly well-informed.

It might be useful in the future.

"Okay, I see."

He waved his hand.

"You go."

Sangbo was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? You're just letting me go like that?"

Lin Si raised an eyebrow.

"What else? Should I treat you to dinner?"

Sambo gave an awkward smile.

"No, no, that's not necessary. It's just...wouldn't you like to search me to see if I have any other contraband?"

Lin Si looked at him for three seconds, then slowly spoke.

"You really want me to search?"

Sambo quickly waved his hand.

"No, no! Absolutely not! I was just saying it offhand!"

He took two steps back and waved to Lin Si.

"Well, sister, see you again someday! I'll treat you to a drink next time we meet!"

After saying that, he dashed into the snowstorm and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lin Si watched his retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips. This Sang Bo was definitely more than just an ordinary unscrupulous businessman.

His eyes were so shrewd.

but it does not matter.

No matter how clever an NPC is in a game, they are still an NPC.

What kind of situation hasn't Lin Si seen?

He turned and walked towards the city gate.

At the city gate, two guards saw him and quickly saluted.

"Lady Bronya! You're back!"

Lin Si nodded, and was about to ask something when she heard a series of hurried footsteps in the distance.

Bronya!

A clear female voice rang out.

Lin Si turned her head to look.

A blonde woman was walking briskly towards them, a concerned expression on her face.

Her demeanor was unique, a blend of poise and allure, gentleness and sharpness. Her attire was magnificent yet dignified, clearly befitting someone long accustomed to a high position.

Cocolia, the Great Guardian, Bronya's mother.

The name instantly popped into Lin Si's mind.

Cocolia walked up to him, looked him up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.

"I heard you encountered the rift outbreak in the northern suburbs. The Iron Guards returned first, saying you were covering their retreat alone..."

She paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"I'm glad you're alright."

Lin Si looked at the woman in front of her and suddenly didn't know how to react.

According to the established setting, this is "his" mother.

But the problem is, he's not the real Bronya!

Moreover, what Sangbo had just said gave him a preconceived impression of the woman in front of him.

A great guardian whose head might have been squeezed by a door.

Lin Si's ability to control her facial expressions was put to a severe test at this moment.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Say "Mom, I'm fine"?

That's not his mother.

Say "Hello, Great Guardian"?

That would be too distant.

Waiting online, very anxious.
