Starry Sky Railway: The Warden's Interrogation of Kafka

Cocolia looked somewhat panicked.

Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes showed fear.

"Although the Silvermane Iron Guard has been fighting against the Rift, it has not been able to stop its progress."

"Without a change of fortune, Belloborg's fate will be to be swallowed up by the Rift, without even a chance to escape, and he will be trapped and die in Belloborg."

"Gu Yan..."

Cocolia looked at Gu Yan: "You can travel through the universe, but we can't."

“Ninety-nine percent of the people in Bellberg don’t even know what a ‘cell phone’ is.”

"They have no idea how our war against the antimatter legion, which lasted for more than 30 years, ended."

Cocolia's eyes were filled with resentment and despair.

"What ended the war was this 'star core,' which was feared by the previous guardian, and the cold wave was also brought about by the star core."

"Even so, the rift continues to erode our world."

"Now, only Belloberg remains to live here."

"But...it's all in vain."

Cocolia looked at Gu Yan, her voice gradually rising. Gu Yan could hear the confusion and despair in her voice: "Do you understand? The Rift will devour this world."

"We'll be trapped here and die..."

"We're just making a death throes right now!"

"Compared to the power of the Rift Realm, we are all nothing but a bunch of insects!"

"Only...only..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Gu Yan then let out a laugh: "Haha, only by listening to that star core that I beat into a frenzy, allowing the Rift to swallow Beloberg, and then letting everyone be reborn in the Rift?"

"You believe this nonsense?"

"To turn your people into undead monsters, wandering the empty cities day after day?"

"To become one of those hideous creatures, the Disintegrating Monster?"

Gu Yan stood up and walked to Cocolia.

He placed his hands on the other person's shoulders.

She said calmly, "Cocolia, believe me, you don't want to become like that."

"Or rather... do you really want Bronya to become that inhuman, ghostly creature too?"

"The monsters of fragmentation are to be killed by everyone. If you were to become such monsters..."

"You will...kill us?"

Cocolia interrupted Gu Yan, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Looking at Gu Yan in front of her, her tone was somewhat dejected and speechless.

Gu Yan's identity is the prison warden of the Interstellar Peace Company.

Their job is to arrest criminals.

If they became monsters from the Rift Realm, Gu Yan would probably kill them without hesitation, right?

however.

Gu Yan shook his head, released his hand from Cocolia's shoulder, and then smiled, "No, my approach is very simple."

“I will remove the sin from you.”

"This is one of my abilities. You might not understand it if I put it this way, and of course I hope you won't need to use it."

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

Gu Yan chuckled and said, "Let's talk about why I came here in the first place."

His smile faded slightly, and he looked at Cocolia with serious eyes.

The latter also sensed Gu Yan's seriousness, and she became somewhat nervous and uneasy: "What?"

"I'm here... to help you and save this world."

As Gu Yan finished speaking.

Cocolia was stunned.

She looked at Gu Yan, whose expression didn't seem to be joking.

"Help me?"

"How is that possible... You can't do it..."

"Even you, Gu Yan, could never completely eliminate the power of the Rift."

Cocolia shook her head; she didn't believe what Gu Yan said.

After all, even a being like the Star Core couldn't eliminate the Rift; it could only tell her to assimilate with the Rift and walk in the world in a new life form.

There is no one who can completely eliminate the rift.

Perhaps only the legendary Star God could accomplish that.

"Trust me, Cocolia, stop now, and I will help you."

"But if you insist on doing what you think in your heart."

"Then... I won't stop you."

"However, I need to remind you that a group of pioneers who have been exploring space are heading towards this planet."

"Their goal is the star core."

Gu Yan said in a strange tone.

Upon hearing this...

Cocolia was caught in a tremendous internal struggle.

She saw the end of this world.

But she also wanted to believe Gu Yan.

because...

Cocolia stared blankly at Gu Yan.

This man was the only man in her life.

Do you love me?

Of course she loves it.

She also wanted to have an ordinary relationship like everyone else.

but.

She can't.

Her mission was to save Belloberg and her people.

She is the great guardian of this world.

"I'm sorry... Gu Yan."

"I cannot give up the star core."

Cocolia lowered her head and said in a deep voice.

Upon seeing this.

Gu Yan also sighed.

He shook his head, brushed past Cocolia's body and walked outside, until he reached the door and removed the chains he had locked, preparing to open it.

He then turned his head and said, "I will be here to witness your final moments."

That's all.

Gu Yan opened the door and went out.

With a loud bang.

The gates closed.

Only Cocolia remained in the reception hall.

She lowered her head, her expression turning extremely pained.

Gu Yan... must be very disappointed in me...

I'm sorry... but I have to do this...

To save the world, to save everyone.

I must..

Create a new world.

However, things didn't go as Cocolia expected.

After Gu Yan walked out, his serious expression instantly disappeared.

He curled his lip: "After all these years, you still don't believe me."

"It seems I have to teach you a lesson."

"Hmm~"

Thinking of this.

Gu Yan stretched.

Alright, it's time to go find Lola and Bronya.

We still need to figure out where to stay for today.
