Kevin, but with little Ellie as a male mother on Star Rail

Like cancer...

Chapter 8 The big brother with the baseball bat

Shifting the perspective to Pera, who was abandoned by Kevin outside the rift, after realizing that the other party had entered a dangerous situation, and that nothing could be changed if he just stood here, this kind-hearted intelligence officer The officer immediately went to other places and called several silver-maned iron guards on duty.

As long as we haven't gone deep into the depths of the rift, there shouldn't be much danger... right?

"Quick, quick, right here, Mr. Kaslana entered the rift here. It's been so long, he's probably..."

About 10 minutes have passed by now. No matter how lucky you are, you may inevitably encounter wandering world-splitting creatures.

When Mr. Kaslana entered, not only was he not wearing any armor, he was not even equipped with a decent weapon. Pera couldn't believe how such an ordinary person could persist alone in the world for so long.

It's all her fault that she didn't stop him in time, otherwise she wouldn't have...

"Um...Mr. Kaslana?"

The feeling of extreme guilt had just begun to take shape in Perla's thoughts, but when she returned to the place where Kevin entered the rift, she discovered that he had already stood outside the rift at some point.Not only was he completely unscathed, he even had a limited edition baseball bat in his hand.

"Thank God, you are so lucky that you walked out of the rift unscathed. You can't be so reckless next time. You know, even the fully armed silver-maned iron guards will find it difficult to escape from the rift. I escaped completely... What is this in your hand?"

The girl had just regained her anxious attitude and returned to her original calmness, but when she was trying to instill in Kevin the idea that the world should never be approached at will, she discovered that the other party was holding a strange... sphere in his hand. ?

As we all know, human beings' knowledge of the outside world all comes from the process of learning.For example, until a child is told about the dangers of a knife, he or she has no idea that it can easily hurt him/herself.

But looking at the strange object held in Kevin's hand, even though she had never understood what it was, Perla could not help but feel disgust and rejection in her heart.

She trusted her instincts that this was never going to be a good thing.

"This is the core of the Rift, the source of distortion of space and creation of monsters."

Kevin did not hesitate and stated his actions and inferences very straightforwardly: "After losing the most fundamental source point, the distorted space will be corrected by the world spontaneously, and there will be no new world-splitting creations from it. born."

To put it simply, this split world that was originally alive is now dead.

"But, the rift behind you doesn't seem to have changed at all?" At least for the time being, Pera still maintained her tenacious argumentative spirit.

"This is normal. Even if you pull out the knife stuck in your body, the wound will not heal instantly."

Kevin is not a native of this world, and certainly does not understand the specific specifications of this world.It may take only three to five days for such an injury to heal, or it may take three to four years for improvement.

However, judging from the fact that the world has long been eroded by the Rift and is riddled with holes, this time may not be short.

"I'm not good at studying this kind of stuff, so I'll leave it to you."

As he spoke, Kevin even threw the proto-nucleus in his hand casually, and even thoughtfully attached a layer of ice on the surface that seemed weak but was actually indestructible.

".......ah???"

The black and purple proto-nucleus bounced back and forth in mid-air for several times before it was successfully caught by the hurried Pella. But until now, she still couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.

So according to what the other party said, the boundary erosion that has been plaguing the Silver Mane Iron Guards was solved in just ten minutes in such an understatement?

As a top student who was able to graduate early from Beloberg University through self-study alone, Pera clearly remembered that since the death of the first generation "Great Guardian", Beloberg has never been able to successfully counterattack the Rift World. In this case, at best, they can only hold on to the front line under the impact of world-splitting creatures.

Otherwise, why, when it was discovered that the Rift had eroded into the city of Beloberg, the psychological expectations of all those who knew the truth were actually not very good.

What kind of charm does this person from the outside world have...

"Miss Pera, look over there. Why is there a child over there?"

Just as the girl's thoughts were wandering randomly while staring at Kevin, the silver-maned iron guard she had just brought suddenly pointed to the rift space behind.

And following the other person's gaze, Pera actually saw a little girl behind Kevin, only about five or six years old? !

But what is different from those silver-maned iron guards is that the girl's keen insight also clearly discovered that this little girl who seemed to be following Kevin was actually perfectly attached to him. He leaned on the edge of the rift and didn't step out for another half minute.

But faced with this scene where everyone had to squat down and whisper to comfort the little girl, Kevin didn't even turn his head and started walking towards the outside of the defense line without hesitation.

"It's just a body imitated by the Rift World. It may not be offensive. However, any behavior is meaningless to her."

After having a slight insight into the nature of the split world, Kevin could easily see through certain things - Mu Yong questioned that this was indeed a living creature standing there, but it was limited to this moment.

Maybe there was indeed a little girl who was in such a situation in the world, but it was only in the past... This is not even a silhouette in time and space, it is just a simulation of the instinct of the world based on characteristics. It's just a poor imitation.

Of course you can give appropriate care or companionship out of pity, but in the end it is just an act of deceiving and pleasing yourself.

I believe that these silver-maned iron guards have never seen people or things that have passed away in the world. However, such a phenomenon will not make people feel any nostalgia, but will make people feel more fond of the world that caused all this. Anger and hate.

Just like the form shown by the flapping proto-nucleus, the Rift World is completely a parasitic cancer on the world...

At this moment, the brains of Pella and several Silver-maned Iron Guards were still in a state of brain shutdown due to the large amount of information they had just come into contact with in an instant.But the 'little girl' in the split world looked at Kevin's leaving figure, raised her palms high and waved with great effort, just because she was afraid that the other party wouldn't hear her voice.

"Goodbye, big brother with the baseball bat——"

"......"

No one noticed that Kevin's steps were unobservable, and then he slowly left the front line arranged by the Silver Mane Iron Guards as he had done at the beginning, until he could no longer see the place where the boundary was broken.

Well, for the split worlds that belong to different spaces, the sounds echoing in them cannot actually be transmitted to the outside world.

Chapter 9 Should you consider becoming a bassist?

"Mr. Kaslana, why does this thing look so... alive?"

After seeing Kevin leave directly, Perla struggled a little internally, and it was best to continue to follow him.And those few silver-maned iron guards, of course, quickly reported what happened on the Split World side.

The rift that invaded Beloberg has been artificially cleared... Of course, such a thing still needs to be verified through multiple verifications before a final conclusion can be made.

But for Pera, just by relying on the original nucleus in her hand, she was already half convinced.Because even with gloves and ice as a barrier, she could still clearly feel that the moving proto-core was still beating slowly.

She had never seen anything so weird before, and it even somewhat subverted her rational understanding of the world.

"It depends on your definition of life."

Compared to Kevin, who is two heads taller, Pella looks like a little follower. He can only try to raise his head and listen to the other person's story: "It can absorb and digest all kinds of energy, and erodes the world. After completing growth, you can even understand and copy things that exist in the cracked world."

"In a sense, this planet and this world can also be regarded as one of thousands of lives."

If it were Su who was standing here at this moment, I believe he would be able to easily tell many truths to make this young girl fully understand the meaning.But just for Kevin, this is the most straightforward explanation he has given after hard work.

"I see......"

Fortunately, the girl named Pella fully meets people's standards for genius. Not only can she understand the concepts described by Kevin, she can even draw inferences to other cases to a certain extent.

"Mr. Kaslana, in other words, the current proto-nucleus is still not safe, because if it is not suppressed in time, it may even breed new rifts at any time?"

If the person who easily took out the world-splitting core wasn't right next to him, maybe Pella would have shaken her little hand at this moment and dropped this thing that could cause a catastrophe at any time to the ground.

"...It's definitely possible."

When it comes to professionalism in scientific research, Kevin, who has always been a warrior, is most likely not as good as the girl in front of him.It's just that what he sees and feels is far beyond ordinary people.

After receiving a positive answer, Pella lowered her head again and looked at the original core in her hand. She struggled several times in her heart, but finally some impulsive sensibility and strong desire for knowledge overcame the fear in her heart, so she gritted her teeth and asked: " Mr. Kaslana, before the order comes from above, can I take it to my friend's place first?"

"Please rest assured that although she has resigned from her research position, she is definitely the best researcher in the entire Belloberg, bar none."

Having said that, if you think about it, you should know that a place as small as Belloberg cannot afford too detailed research divisions.

For example, like Mebius, even the top biologist from another world would probably only have to move bricks and sweep the floor when he comes here... After all, the environment outside is -[-] to [-] degrees below zero. There aren’t even a few insects left alive, so there’s nothing to study.”

Although he knew that there was a high probability that he would not get any useful feedback, Kevin finally nodded slightly as he looked at the girl who was looking at him intently.

After all, it seems that he really doesn't have anything important to do.

"Okay!...Ahem, I mean, thank you Mr. Kaslana for your support, we will definitely not cause you any trouble. My friend lives in the mechanical house over there, plz follow me."

It didn't take long for Pera to successfully reach the destination with Kevin.It was a building with great cultural flair, and all kinds of mechanical gears were crudely used as decorations on the top. It looked a bit...unique?

However, it is obviously just outside Clipper Castle, and the flow of people nearby is not small at all, but this mechanical room is completely like an insulator. No one wants to enter or stop here.

Don’t even think about it but you should know that there is definitely something wrong with this.

"Well... there are very few people here usually, so you don't have to worry about anyone coming back to disturb you. It's actually quite quiet."

Knowing that Kevin would definitely have doubts, Pera immediately explained the problem from another angle, then took the initiative to step forward and skillfully pushed open the door.

The house that was supposed to be quite spacious seemed very crowded because it was filled with various mechanical products, and even the light coming through the windows was very limited, which finally led to Pella having to shout.

"Shiluva, are you in there?"

"That voice is...Pella?"

"Why did the intelligence officer of the Silver-maned Iron Guard suddenly find the time to come to my shop? Shouldn't you be on duty at this time? Or have you accidentally put me on the suspect list?"

A blond girl suddenly poked out from under the counter filled with sundries - not only her expression, but also the purple highlights hanging down from her forehead unabashedly showed her unique personality.

This made Kevin subconsciously feel that this might be very troublesome...

"Hey, why do you still have a handsome new face? Perla, could this be the bassist you hired specifically for the band?"

"No."

Without waiting for Pera to reply, Kevin crossed his arms and answered the other party's question decisively.

"Eh? In fact, there is no need to refuse so quickly. I think your temperament is very suitable for being a bassist... No, you are just a natural bassist... You really don't want to think about it. ?"

"......"

Realizing that the situation was slightly out of control, Pera immediately stood up and blocked the conversation: "Be normal, Siluva. Mr. Kaslana is a distinguished guest of the "Great Guardian", and we are here for business."

"What, business?"

Who would have thought that after hearing these words, Siluva suddenly felt as if he had been stepped on, and his tone immediately became weird: "I don't think that the big shot sitting in Clipper Castle could come to me for anything serious. .”

Hard, hard, Pella's little fist is going to be hard.

“It’s not because of the ‘Great Guardian’, it’s me who took the initiative to come to you at this moment, you idiot!!”

Chapter 10 Trash cans may be good hiding places

"Well, I'm sorry for my gaffe just now, Mr. Kaslana..."

After hearing Perla clearly describe the purpose of their visit, Siluwa still bowed her head to Kevin seriously.Maybe she is a bit unique in many aspects, but she can still distinguish basic right from wrong.

Logically speaking, if all this is true, then the items in Pella's hands should be delivered to Clipper Castle as soon as possible, but the other party happened to take advantage of the gap before the intelligence was fully confirmed. Got her here.

To put it mildly, this is just a gap in time.But if someone is determined to pursue the case, dismissal from the job can be considered a very light punishment.

"However, if you insist on saying that this gadget is the culprit of the erosion of the world, are you really kidding me?"

Before Kevin even had time to open his mouth to forgive the other party's fault, he saw Sylva holding the original nucleus in his hand. He only weighed it a few times and then gently put the crystal back on the table without any nostalgia. superior.

"With all due respect, I don't think this gadget has that much power. Besides, even if it is really special... Look at the furnishings in this house, doesn't that prove anything?"

"I'm just a mechanic, but this thing can't be considered a machine, right? You can't repair it with just a wrench and a hammer."

"Pella, you'd better send it to where it should be sent as soon as possible... Oh, by the way, and don't delay the evening rehearsal because of work."

Not giving the two a chance to refute at all, Siluwa was talking to herself while stuffing the original core back into Pella's hand, squeezing the two out of the door little by little, and then gave a hearty smile, bang. The door closed with a bang.

And when she turned around again and looked at the mess in the room, the smile that had been on her face gradually disappeared.

Is she just a mechanic who specializes in industry and knows nothing about other research directions?Maybe it is.

But this doesn't mean that she really doesn't know anything about the object that Pella just held in her hand.

The main culprit responsible for the cold wave coming to Belloberg is the star core.There may not be more than ten people in the entire city who know its existence and true appearance, but Siluwa happens to be one of them.

Even though there were actually huge differences in appearance, she could still tell at a glance that this mysterious proto-nucleus was definitely closely related to the star core.

She used to be very good friends with the current "Grand Guardian" Cocolia. They were friends since school, until the other party became the leader of Beloberg, and she was a researcher in the Builder Technology Department. Behind the scenes, they silently support each other.

The close relationship between the two has been maintained until - after Shiluva gradually discovered its great correlation with the main factor that harmed Beloberg [Border Splitting] during her research on the star core, she was ignored. He was driven out from among the builders without mercy.

That Cocolia personally issued the order to expel her best friend, and has never seen her again since then.

People who don't know the truth may still naively think that she was expelled from the ranks of city builders because she never produced any useful research results, or because she messed up some important research.Only she knows that this is definitely because there are some secrets in the research on star cores that must not be disclosed.

But...it doesn't matter no matter what, right?After all, that person was the "Great Guardian" of Beloberg, and she was just a down-and-out mechanic who was fired by the builders.

"Kokolia, what's wrong with you..."

After becoming the "Great Guardian", her friend's temperament changed drastically almost overnight, and she was no longer the enthusiastic and ideal person she once was.

Sometimes Sylva would even wonder if her brain had been taken away by the previous "Great Guardians".And those outrageous policies were also made under the control of other consciousnesses?

What kind of thing can make a person transform into another completely unfamiliar personality...
