……

"Eh, I..."

Bronya's 'lost soul' state lasted for a long time.When the spoon couldn't dig out any more curry, she subconsciously put the spoon into her mouth and sucked it.Then she suddenly came to her senses, put down the spoon shyly, coughed lightly and pretended that nothing happened.

She quietly glanced at the store manager who was making coffee, and found that the other person was also looking at her with a meaningful smile. Bronya was a little at a loss for a moment.

Zhenye kept a vague smile and placed Bronya's coffee in front of her table.

"Your coffee, ma'am. It's ground coffee from Pacamara beans and is characterized by a hint of fruity aroma and an overall refreshing acidity."

With the foreshadowing of the 'Curry' before, Bronya no longer had any doubts about the 'Coffee' that followed.

After all, I ate the weird 'snow mixed with mud' before, and it was very, very... delicious. This cup of 'coffee' may look scary, but it's actually delicious, right?

that's the truth.Bronya picked up the carefully prepared cup of coffee and took a sip slowly, then the curry smell that had not completely dissipated between her lips and teeth was violently invaded again.

An unparalleled mellow coffee smell suddenly spread in her mouth, making Bronya, who had just eaten curry and felt hot in her body, immediately feel more at ease.

A faint fruit aroma, wrapped in sour taste, was like a sharp sword, instantly sweeping away the fatigue she had accumulated during this period.

Bronya suddenly felt something was wrong and put down her coffee cup.

"Nice drink. Thank you, Manager Sakura, for the hospitality."

Zhenye mixed the coffee beans and nodded indifferently.

"nice! You love it."

Bronya took out the Winter City Shield to pay the bill.This thing cannot be exchanged for system currency, and for Zhenye, it is not as useful as more commonly used credits.

However, in order to facilitate this transaction, Zhenye still accepted the pile of currency that was meaningless to him without any care.

"That, I..."

Bronya wanted to say something, but Zhenye spoke before her.

"Bronya, you don't want your mother to continue to 'fall', right?"

Chapter 38 Stealing Cocolia’s Heart

Bronya was confused by Zhenye's enigmatic speech.

"What's the meaning?"

Zhenye did not answer, but shook his finger and asked meaningful questions continuously.

"Do you think you are always on the right path?"

"Do you think your mother is still the same mother you remember today?"

"Do you think... Beloberg, you can still see the so-called [preservation] now?"

"Do you think... what you see is the most real world?"

Bronya was furious.She could clearly feel that the young store manager in front of her harbored a deep malice towards her mother.

"I……"

She opened her mouth and tried to refute.But the terrifying 'Garden of Eden' appeared in front of me.

"Explore your truest heart... Only by tearing off the mask can you see the truth of the world."

Reveal your true identity...?

"See the true face of this world!"

Zhenye's eyes were cold and he shouted in a low voice.

"Well……!"

Bronya felt that the young store manager in front of her suddenly exuded an unspeakable 'distortion'.Her head hurt, and a subtle sense of dissonance spread infinitely in her heart.

"..."

She discovered that the young store manager in front of her had put on a strange butler uniform and a black and white smoky makeup mask at some point.His pupils turned into bright and bright gold.

"where is this place?"

Bronya 'saw' this Garden of Eden again, a withered and decayed paradise with dragons and giant snakes entrenched.

tick, tick...

Drops of blood and tears fell on the back of her hands.

Bronya looked up in shock, only to find that she was wearing the rabbit mask again.At the same time, the 'crying half' of the rabbit mask was trembling slightly, dripping with tears of blood representing fear.

She felt dizzy.

The whole world's malice was rushing toward her crazily.

Swearing, not understanding, not wanting to understand, following the rules, obeying the rules honestly, not being able to control oneself, being constrained in freedom, being constrained in the inner world...

The chaotic murmurs appeared, and the exploding pain in her mind made Bronya's legs weak, and she knelt on the ground, gasping for air.It seems that it can reduce the pain a bit.

A feeling of disgust arose in my heart.

Bronya couldn't understand Zhenye's riddle-like continuous questions, but under the continuous mental pressure and cognitive chatter, she was forced to start asking herself.

If you do this and continue like this... can you really bring peace and freedom to Belloberg?

Was everything he did really to [preserve] Beloberg?Is it really possible to [preserve] Beloberg?

"Has the canary in the cage finally doubted itself? Hehe, hehehe..."

In the heartbreaking pain, Bronya heard the call of a strange woman's voice.

"Well……!"

Bronya knelt on the ground in great pain, and a mirror suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.But at this time, she was unable to notice the earthquake in her own pupils in the mirror, as well as the unruly golden pupils full of struggle.

A trace of black air came out from behind Bronya, but she didn't notice that a female figure in the ice and snow suddenly appeared in the mirror.The figure caressed her mask and whispered in her ear.

"The so-called 'protection' should not mean following the rules, but never compromising!"

"Your protection needs to be accomplished by tearing off the mask and raising a flag to rebel. Then sign the contract~~"

The goddess of shadow in the mirror reached out and gently grabbed Bronya's hands that had no place to rest, and then led the hands to the mask.Touching the mask, Bronya's expression instantly changed from confusion to determination.

Seemingly finding some target, she began to scream in pain and tear off the mask that was attached to her body like skin.

"I am you, you are me...leave the regular self! Only in that way can you realize the 'preservation' in your mind."

In pain, Bronya's hands burst out with astonishing strength. She took a deep breath, endured the severe pain that ripped apart her soul, and with a swish sound, she tore off the 'obedient rabbit mask' even with blood.

Raging blue flames ignited around her, and broken chains appeared one after another.

"I understand...let's make the contract - Skadi!"

"Hehe, hehehe, hehehe~~"

call--

The icy blizzard came from the north, but the extremely cold ice wind did not bring any chill. Instead, it blew a fire in the heart called resistance and rebellion.

The white clothes are fluttering, and the slender figure is filled with traces of black energy. Even under the double cover of the blizzard and black energy, you can still see the cold divinity permeating his body.

The goddess of ice and snow in Norse mythology, the goddess of snowshoes.Therefore, its whole body will be shrouded in a dress made of ice and snow.Its name means "shadow", so its body is covered with traces of black energy.

The pain faded away like a tide. The Ice and Snow Goddess stretched out her black steaming hand and gently touched the sweaty girl who had just experienced a tide of pain.

"Remember the will to resist at this moment...Only in this way can you escape the cloud of destruction."

After saying this, the Ice and Snow Goddess transformed into a blue flame, and finally turned back into the rabbit mask hanging on the side of Bronya's face.

Zhen Ye has been watching this drama of 'awakening', and only now did he sigh in his heart: It's really wonderful.

It turns out that the awakening of the 'Personal Mask' can also be achieved under a different world view...

He looked at the 'rabbit mask' hanging on the side of Bronya's face.At this time, the mask was completely symmetrical, and the facial pattern was no longer a strange crying and smiling pattern, but a unified mocking smile with a rebellious nature.

In addition, one of the broken rabbit ears on the mask has also stood up again. The two one-inch-long ears are covered with bright red facial lines. They look fierce and cute, but also cute.

But... Skadi.

I didn't expect that she would awaken such a persona.

Bronya looked around confusedly, and suddenly realized that her clothes seemed to have changed and turned into a princess dress in the cold winter.

Dressed in aqua and azure blue as the main tone, it seems that it can melt into the wind and snow at any time.

The long skirt is just a disguise. Under the high-slit skirt, there are standard boots and tights.

"Just now I……"

Bronya looked at Zhenye who looked calm and seemed to have expected this.Her intuition told her that the young store manager in front of her knew everything she wanted to know.

Just as she was about to ask, a strong feeling of weakness made her legs weak and she almost fell down.

Zhenye stepped forward to support Bronya, who looked eager to ask something, but was extremely weak.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."

"You have a lot of questions, right? I will tell you one by one."

"First of all, hundreds of years ago...in this world, a catastrophic thing called the 'star core' appeared. The emergence of the star core was the original reason why Beloberg became what it is today."

"Secondly, you have successfully torn off your 'mask' and become a rebel... Please remember your current mood. As long as you still maintain your will to rebel, this power will not be lost."

"Then... the world we are in now is the distorted inner world of your mother, Cocolia. The star core bewitched your mother and made her go astray."

"Finally, in order for Beloberg to continue to prosper...we have to do one thing. That thing is..."

"Steal the heart of your mother, the contemporary 'Great Guardian', Cocolia."

Chapter 39 The Female Pope

"Stealing...my mother's heart?"

Bronya was still panting slightly. The extremely intense consumption during her 'awakening' made her, as a destiny traveler, feel the overdraft caused by overwork for the first time in a long time.

"Xu's voice is trembling. It's better to stop talking and take a rest..."

Zhenye clicked his tongue, shook his head and advised.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to feed people before they were 'awakened'.Otherwise, after the awakening is over, whether we can stand still or not is another matter.

Bronya was silent.

She felt that her physical condition was very bad. Although she was recovering at a very fast speed, it would take a lot of time - she should follow the advice and take a little rest.

Zhenye placed a plate of caramel pudding that had been prepared in front of the table, and carefully prepared the knife, fork, table spoon.

"The dessert I made, you can have some after you recover."

He sat across from Bronya and began to tell her about related terms such as 'persona' and 'palace'.

"...In other words, when you say 'stealing the heart', you mean stealing twisted desires, rather than the true meaning...?"

After listening to Zhenye's explanation of the related terms of 'stealing one's heart', Bronya, who had always been a little uneasy, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What if that's not the case?" Zhenye said with a joking sneer, "What kind of heart-stealing do you think it is?"

Bronya: ...

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhenye laughed casually and said: "Otherwise, I will go directly to Beloberg, find the residence of the great guardian, and tell her, 'Mother-in-law, your daughter will be taken care of by me from now on', or' Lord Guardian, I have always admired you, please marry me'?"

Bronya choked for a moment, then blushed and wanted to say something.

"Just kidding." Zhenye used the ability of 'Shape of Sound'.

He gently waved his hand to Bronya, and then said with a serious face: "Listen, the 'persona' you awakened before represents your will to resist. The stronger your will to resist, the more the persona will change. It’s enhanced.”

He waved in the void as he spoke, and the mask on his forehead roared into a ball of blue flames, and then formed into a beautiful monster thief wearing a top hat, bright red clothes, and black and gold wings.

"Hehe, hahahahaha~ My contractor, what are you calling me for?"

The 'Phantom Thief''s wings trembled, and then fell to the ground with a clatter. He first observed the surrounding environment strangely, and then looked at Zhen Ye, whose face was covered by a layer of black and whose pupils were golden.

"This little girl needs to rest for a while, Raul, use your ability to help her and let her have a good dream."
