Star Dome Railway, my props are a bit weird

As soon as Zhen Ye finished speaking, the train began to accelerate with a rumble.

The sky outside the observation car gradually turned from gray to colorful.

"It's really possible...you can come to the real world without changing stops at the 'Velvet Gate'..."

After arriving in the 'real world', Zhenye began to purchase various coffee beans, various coffee utensils, various wines and modern kitchen utensils needed to open a coffee shop in large quantities.

"Get some stock of these coffee beans..."

"Huh? "Coffee: From Beginner to Master"? I bought it. I also bought this book "The Essence of Curry". I also bought "The Encyclopedia of Dessert Making"..."

"Modern kitchen appliances...range hoods, refrigerators, etc. need to be updated. Stoves, rice cookers, pots, etc. for cooking curry should also be purchased directly from the best."

"I'd also like to add some green plants indoors, and forget about magazines and the like... Well, there's no need to set up public telephones."

After filling up a utility room in the train, Zhenye checked the necessary items again.After hesitating for a while, he bought some more special tools and materials for making desserts, as well as tutorial books on making desserts.

After preparing the goods in the real world, Zhen Ye returned to Beloberg to prepare and store the items that needed to be prepared.

"Okay, let's get ready to open the store."

……

That night, Bronya also had a dream.

A strange, imprisoned dream.

Chapter 34 Mask of Dominance

Bronya, who has been entangled in various trivial matters recently, looks a little more melancholy.

She can clearly feel that Cocolia's mother has become more and more strange recently.It seems that she is no longer the gentle, kind, considerate and kind mother she remembers.

She became cold, deep, mysterious, and inhumane... Since the arrival of the members of the Star Dome Train, she has shown great interest in the members of the Star Dome Train...

Bronya didn't know why Cocolia's mother had such a change. She just felt that the cloud of destruction was gradually approaching her, like a series of hard chains, binding herself and dragging her into the abyss.

Wow, wow...

The cold chains collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

She seemed to hear the sound of chains, floating velvet feathers and a faint blue light surrounding her with the flying blue morpho butterflies.

Bronya opened her eyes, and suddenly she felt like she was in a nightmare from which she couldn't wake up.She subconsciously stood up, only to find herself in a cold cell.

The ethereal shallow singing came to my ears melodiously, and the "poetry of the soul of all mankind" played was magnificent, full of depression and sadness, like a lost epic.

The ancient torture instruments were always running on their own, and the chilling sounds echoed in the cell.But for this cell, the appearance of these instruments of torture does not seem to be unexpected at all.

Bronya, who was just about to take action, felt as if her whole body was as heavy and weak as if it had been filled with lead.She subconsciously looked at her own clothes, but found that her clothes had also changed from her bedtime pajamas to a black and white striped prison uniform.

She struggled to the cell door and looked at the sky-blue light in the middle of the circular cell.

There was a short desk there, facing the cell where Bronya was. Sitting behind the desk was... a young man wearing a strange black and white smoky mask and a butler uniform.

An assistant in a blue dress who looked about [-] or [-]% similar to her, like a younger version of herself, stood quietly beside the young man.

"Welcome to...the Velvet Room. This is the gap between the material and spiritual worlds, connecting the collective subconscious of mankind and the sea of ​​​​hearts."

"Velvet...room?"

Bronya tilted her head, not understanding such a strange term.

But the young man had no intention of explaining in detail, but chuckled meaningfully: "Haha. You will know soon..."

"The next 'Grand Guardian' of Beloberg, Bronya Rand. The cloud of destruction has hung over your head. Now, it's time to make a painful choice."

Bronya was slightly startled, and immediately showed a more puzzled expression.

"The current Great Guardian, Cocolia Rand, has his will twisted by the star core, and has embarked on a twisted path of justice. If not stopped, Cocolia will covet the Star Train and the Pioneers. Lead yourself to destruction."

Bronya's body trembled. Under the influence of the infectious voice that penetrated the soul, she subconsciously believed the other party's words and then wanted to say something.

She wanted to speak, but she didn't have enough courage to question such remarks immediately.

Because she herself knows that the mother she has today is different from the mother she remembered.

"Do you want to change this situation? Do you want to stop your mother from stepping into the fate of destruction step by step? Do you want... to make your mother change her mind and return to the right path?"

The young man chuckled lowly: "If you want to change everything, tear off the mask of the pretender and wave the flag of rebellion..."

A mask of disguise?Flag of rebellion?What on earth is he talking about?

She was about to ask, but the young man waved to her.

The assistant in the blue dress stepped forward quickly, and as if by magic, he suddenly took out a set of floor-length mirrors and placed them in front of Bronya.

Bronya subconsciously looked at the mirror, but was shocked to find that she had put on a strange rabbit mask at some point.

The mask is mainly red and white, with red facial patterns carved on the porcelain white mask.It is said to be a half-face mask, but in fact it can cover most of the face when worn, just enough to cover the tip of the nose, leaving the mouth and chin intact.

On the top of the mask, you can clearly see the protrusions that look like rabbit ears, about an inch long.One of the ears is erect and the other ear is folded.

The red facial pattern is designed to be asymmetrical like the 'rabbit ears' of the mask.The facial pattern on the half face with erect ears is a delicate 'smiling' face, while the facial pattern on the half face with folded ears is a frightened 'crying' face.

The extremely asymmetrical design is subtly integrated, giving people a cute and cute feeling.At the same time, it also implies the characteristics of the person wearing the mask: half strong and half cowardly.

This mask sticks to your face like your own skin, it's very natural.I didn't feel anything unusual myself.Bronya tried to take off the mask, but felt hot pain coming from her cheek.

The 'younger version' of himself, who was sixty-seven points similar to himself, took out a baton from nowhere and knocked on the iron bars of the cell.

"Look directly into your heart. This is the basis for your journey of resistance."

Looking into your own heart?Embark on a path of resistance?What is this...

Bronya looked at the 'younger version of herself', and she was also looking at Bronya.That look seemed to contain a bit of teasing, but more of it was a strong warning.

A rapid ringing of bells suddenly rang throughout the cell, and Bronya immediately felt that everything seemed to be gradually moving away from her.

"Haha. The time is up, see you in the future."

The young man said and snapped his fingers, and immediately Bronya felt light all over her body, and a dizzying feeling came to her.

Bronya woke up from her dream, and immediately reached out to touch her face.

"...What a strange dream."

She panted rapidly, and it took her a while to recover.

Being teased like this, Bronya almost lost all sleep.She came to the bedside, opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at Belloberg in the darkness, enveloped by the night and cold wind.

Perhaps it was an illusion caused by mental stress. As she watched, Bronya felt that the 'world' in front of her eyes seemed to be distorted.The night under the cold wind is no longer, and the warm warm wind rushes from between the branches and leaves of the towering trees.

In a daze, Bronya seemed to 'see' a towering tree with three big roots, and 'see' her mother.

Cocolia's figure was ethereal, entangled by the thick branches and vines of an adult's arm, and hung in the most conspicuous position on the crown of the World Tree.Her empty eyes were always staring at the 'Garden of Eden' in front of her.

The dragon that swallowed the dusk and the earthly serpent that surrounded the atrium guarded her as if they were worshiping gods.

Bronya almost subconsciously met Cocolia's eyes hanging on the World Tree.Then, Cocolia's originally empty eyes erupted with a terrifying light of dominance.

Bronya felt as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She shook her head vigorously to drive away the hallucination.

"What exactly is that?"

Chapter 35 It’s smaller, the layout is smaller!

At that moment, Silver Wolf, who had just escaped from another world, was asking Zhenye the same question.

"What exactly is that?"

Silver Wolf, who had just made a guest appearance as the 'Velvet Room Assistant', also followed Bronya's 'hallucination' and saw the world of desire in Cocolia's heart.

While greatly shocked, Silver Wolf was also aroused curiosity and desire for challenge.As a 'player', facing such a challenge, she is eager to give it a try.

Zhenye thought about it for a moment, then pinched the black and white smoky makeup mask on his face and explained: "That is the 'Palace of Desire in Cocolia's Heart'."

"Shouldn't the Palace of Desire be a special place like a maze? Why does it look like a big tree?"

"The Palace of Desire represents the 'distortion' deep within a person's heart. The distorter sees 'somewhere' in the real world as 'something', and the Palace of Desire will show a similar appearance."

"It's like a twisted person regards a street in the real world as his own bank, then his palace of desire is a bank... something like this."

Silver Wolf nodded thoughtfully and quickly followed Zhen Ye's thoughts: "In other words... Cocolia regards Beloberg as the 'Garden of Eden'."

The legend of the World Tree also exists in 'this world', and it is also a well-known mythological system well-known among the stars.As a hacker with extensive experience, Silver Wolf naturally knows.

"Yes. The Garden of Eden is the 'origin of civilization' in mythology. It is the paradise of human dreams, a paradise, and a utopia. But in this Garden of Eden, there are also various unpredictable dangers."

"The earthly python surrounding the atrium, Nidhogg devouring the roots, the threat of 'Twilight of the Gods' lurking beneath the stability, the 'forbidden fruit' that induces human corruption..."

Zhen Ye clapped his fingers and told several stories about the various threats lurking under the World Tree.

Silver Wolf was a little surprised by this and asked casually: "Why are you so familiar with it?"

Why is it so familiar?Of course it's because 'I've experienced it'.

To be honest, when I first saw Cocolia's 'Garden of Eden', several corresponding palaces quickly popped up in my mind, including Maruki-sensei's 'World Tree' and 'The World of Evil Trees'. '.

small.

The layout is small!

Compared to the 'Utopia' created by Mr. Maruki that the whole world is immersed in, the layout of Cocolia is really too small.

Mr. Maruki is a 'good guy' who is twisted to the extreme.The Garden of Eden he created caused the whole world to sink into it, allowing people to escape into a false utopia.

He determines the 'happiness' of all people, and while bestowing happiness, he also dominates them.He committed a major crime of distorting reality, but countless people converted and supported him.

Compared to the world created by Maruki, the world and layout of Cocolia are still too small.

Zhenye didn't answer why he was familiar with the halls related to the World Tree. He just shrugged and joked: "How are you? Do you feel the challenge?"

"Who are you looking down on?"

Silver Wolf snorted softly, took out his transforming weapon from the equipment ring and put it on his hand.As she clenched her fist, a light blade shot out with a clatter.

"Templar, showed his light blade..."

Zhenye immediately touched his palms and praised: "Okay, you are very energetic."

【?~】

"Then we will sneak into the Palace of Desire, confirm the route of the secret treasure, and then issue a notice..."

"No, no, no, we can wait for the release of the trailer." Zhenye waved his hand, "The most important 'lead star' hasn't fully entered the stage yet. We can't start the game in such a hurry."

"Ok."

Silver Wolf was slightly disappointed.

Zhenye glanced at Yin Lang's dark circles and saw that she was a little haggard, so he added: "Besides, even if it's not for the protagonist, even if it's for you, I can't start the game in such a hurry."

【??~】

"...Thank you for your concern. But staying up late is just routine for me."

After returning from another world, Zhen Ye and Silver Wolf returned to the newly opened Lu Blanc Cafe.

After opening the door, Yinlang was very keenly aware that there were many modern and unique facilities in this cafe.The coffee rack that was originally empty was now filled to the brim in sequence.

"Looking at you so tired, do you want to eat something? A reasonable meal can relax you."

With the blessing of the shape of sound, Zhenye's words had the power to confuse and penetrate people's hearts.Silver Wolf yawned subconsciously, feeling as if his accumulated fatigue was released by these words.

"Haah~"

The petite hacker girl yawned and rubbed the corners of her eyes sleepily.

"Can you cook? What can you do?"

Zhenye laughed and joked to himself: "Cooking is a required course for us time travellers. The predecessors from the earliest times relied on this skill to capture the hearts of girls."

Silver Wolf faced the radio wave, stretched, and responded with a relaxed smile.

"Seize the stomach before the heart?"

"That's probably what it means."

"Okay, let me see how your skills are."

Zhenye picked up "The Essence of Curry" that was upside down on the table, flipped through a few pages quickly, and then came to the kitchen with confidence.
