After the classic two-question self-reflection.
Bronya gradually remembered some things.
She remembered...
She encountered a wanted fugitive as she descended through the furnace core passage, and during the chase, she encountered people from the lower district who were harboring the wanted criminal.
Then a fight broke out.
Although the scythe girl was quite strong, she was even more powerful, and the battle reached a fever pitch.
And then...
She encountered the so-called miner ghost, and her men were so frightened that they retreated. She was determined to dispel the rumors about the miner ghost.
So they chased after him...
after...
A strong gust of wind swept through her, leaving her with numerous wounds. She was about to raise her gun to shoot when, unexpectedly, the miner's ghost suddenly appeared before her...
Then she lost consciousness, and in her hazy state, she felt as if the ghost had slapped her on the buttocks...
That's outrageous!
Bronya felt a surge of shame and anger at the thought.
She swore!
If she were to encounter that Miner Shadow again, she would represent the will of the city builders and shove a gun up his nose!
...
She got out of bed and stumbled toward the nearest door.
While the clinic was busy, she escaped through the back door unnoticed.
Push open the door.
The terrain and environment visible in the field of vision resembled the lower zone... A cold, strong wind howled from the direction of the rift valley through the town.
Bronya was barefoot, her legs clad in coarse cloth, and her hair was disheveled, making her look like a local from the lower class.
We need to go back to the upper level first...
right.
Report back to the upper district to Mother about the terrible situation here...
She thought to herself, and then walked toward the central furnace core passage.
She was injured and had suffered a concussion, so she walked unsteadily, as if she had been drinking too much.
They hadn't gone far when they bumped into Zhou Xiao, who had just finished talking to Himeko.
Bronya looked up and saw Zhou Xiao's indifferent face. His calm eyes were like an abyss, drawing her thoughts into them.
"You recovered quite quickly."
Zhou Xiao was surprised that Bronya was able to regain consciousness so quickly.
That sound...
Bronya felt the voice of the person in front of her sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before...
Where is it?
Bronya covered her head and tried to recall the events, but the pain in her head worsened with each recollection.
The lower level...orphanage.
The shadow of a miner.
Why are you chasing me for no reason?
Bronya seemed to recall where she had heard that voice before.
The furnace core passage, from the mouth of that miner's shadowy figure...
“You’re the Miner Shadow!” Bronya said, pointing at Zhou Xiao’s nose.
"What 'ghostly shadow'?"
Zhou Xiao felt that Bronya seemed to have been "broken" by him, and was acting strangely.
"You lecher!" Just as he was about to force Bronya to shut down, Bronya uttered an even more shocking title.
"?"
Zhou Xiao frowned at the title.
What are you saying?
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! Why were you patting my butt in the passageway!" Bronya said.
"?"
Three questions.
Zhou Xiao stated that he was a gentleman and would never take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state. Furthermore, even if he were to do so, he would definitely choose mature, older sister types like Himeko or Natasha, not Bronya...
Core channel...
Zhou Xiao thought about it carefully for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said:
"Your spear was clearly stuck in the ground. When you slipped and fell on your butt, the butt of the spear poked your butt!"
He remembered that Bronya had indeed made that embarrassing mistake, a series of bizarre actions that left him both amused and exasperated for a long time...
“...”
Upon hearing this, Bronya's eyes widened slightly, and she was completely stunned.
It sounds like... this is worse than Zhou Xiao patting my butt!
At least if Zhou Xiao patted his butt, he could find someone to take revenge on, and have something to look forward to. But if he was poked in the butt by his own gun butt, it would be a completely embarrassing thing for him!
Bronya touched her buttocks.
Um.
It does seem to hurt a bit.
...
There are few truths in this world; a woman's blush is worth more than a long conversation.
Zhou Xiao's blunt truth made Bronya blush, her fair skin glowing red as if she were on fire.
"No...impossible."
"Absolutely impossible."
Bronya could never admit it; as the next successor to the High Guardian, this past was too embarrassing.
"I..."
"you..."
"wrong..."
Seeing that Bronya was stammering and couldn't explain herself clearly, and seemed to be losing her "little pearl" a bit, Zhou Xiao couldn't help but frown.
I had to force a shutdown...
Then send him to Natasha to get his brain fixed...
Thinking this, Zhou Xiao then slashed out with a backhand chop.
In an instant.
Bronya seemed to be seeing the previous High Guardian... She spun two and a half times in mid-air before finally collapsing smoothly to the ground.
There was no tenderness or pity shown towards women; only pure, simple brutality.
Peace and quiet!
Zhou Xiao patted the dust off his hands and nodded with slight satisfaction.
...
"Zhou Xiao..."
