Chapter 54 Cocolia is actually myself
"Further ahead, everyone arrived at a huge square. Something was emitting a strange light."
"The star can feel it, that's the star core!"
"And those standing in the square are Cocolia and Bronya."
"Don't resist, Bronya. Accept our shared will." Cocolia's voice was filled with temptation.
“No… This is not what I want…”
"Bronya's face was filled with pain. She felt countless voices echoing in her mind, like a vast ocean, trying to swallow and merge her will."
"Look at the future they promised, Bronya. A world without poverty, cold, or suffering, a world where people no longer have to live like prisoners, begging for their survival. A world we can protect forever."
"Cocolia looked up at the sky with empty eyes, as if she saw heaven on earth."
"But anyone who's worked should know that statements like stellar cores can often be summed up in three words: empty promises."
"Painting a pie in the sky? What does that mean?" Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head, looking puzzled.
As the name suggests, drawing a pie in the sky means drawing a big pie.
But what's the deeper meaning behind this?
What does the Star Core's words used to deceive Cocolia have to do with empty promises? Why do you say they were empty promises?
"I have a rough guess." Zhu Gaochi smiled, and the fat on his face shook, making him look kind.
Several people in the hall looked at Zhu Gaochi.
"Boss, please explain it to me." Zhu Di ordered.
"Yes, father." Zhu Gaochi hurriedly bent down and saluted, which looked a little funny considering his chubby body.
Zhu Gaoxu curled his lips in disdain. He looked down on his elder brother.
But it doesn’t matter. His father often told him that the prince was ill and he should encourage him.
He's got a healthy physique, so he'll definitely outlive his chubby older brother! Plus, the Emperor favors him, so wouldn't the future Crown Prince position be his for sure?
"We can all guess what that star core said to Cocolia. It must have been a deception. The star core's purpose couldn't possibly be to rebuild the world."
"Because, on the train earlier, Walter had already said that star cores have descended upon many worlds, and without exception, they have brought disaster and destruction."
"As for 'painting a pie', literally speaking, it means drawing a pie. What's the purpose of drawing it? To deceive ordinary people, telling them that this pie is the reward they will receive in the future!"
"Therefore, I believe that the so-called pie-in-the-sky approach refers to making unrealistic promises, using sweet talk to convince people to act in their favor, and ultimately... these so-called promises are naturally not fulfilled."
Zhu Gaochi spoke eloquently and gave a very clear analysis of the popular Internet terms of later generations.
"Yeah." Zhu Di was very satisfied.
His eldest son is not good at fighting, but in terms of knowledge, he is indeed his most outstanding son!
"So this is just empty talk. This Cocolia is really stupid. If it were me..." Zhu Gaoxu got stuck while speaking.
He suddenly remembered.
My old father often says, "The crown prince is ill, you should encourage him", but the problem is that he has not yet been given the position of crown prince!
If this isn’t just empty talk, what is it?
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Di, but found that his domineering old father actually looked away somewhat unnaturally, pretending not to see him.
No, Father, why are you looking away? Look at me instead!
The emotions in his eyes were very complicated, revealing three parts pain, three parts despair, and four parts disbelief.
Cocolia is actually me?!
I finally fell in love once, but you made me lose so completely! Zhuo!
"The brainwashing stops here, witch!"
"Seele shouted angrily, interrupting Cocolia's chatter and making Bronya feel much better."
““Xi’er?”
"Bronya's voice was even trembling. It was obvious that she was in great pain. If Seele had come a little later, Cocolia's brainwashing might have been successful."
"Xing & Sanyueqi & Danheng: We're here too. Is Xier the only one you have eyes for?"
"You're here after all? I thought this blizzard would bury you..." Cocolia's eyes were cold."
"You wish! We won't fall until we defeat you!" Seele said coldly, "Bronya, I don't know what happened between you. Even if you explained it on the spot, I probably wouldn't understand all that abstruse stuff, but there are two things I know very well."
"Under Bronya's gaze, Seele said this with great solemnity."
"First, these guys are here to seal the star core. Second, remember what I said? If anything happens to you, I will definitely come to save you!"
"So, do you understand? Even if you've been brainwashed by that woman over there and have completely forgotten our agreement—I'm still going to knock you out and take you back!"
"Seele..." Bronya's pupils dilated instantly, and an indescribable feeling of emotion rose in her heart."
"Xing & Sanyueqi & Danheng: "..."
"First, we're not those guys. Second, if you really want to show off your affection, you don't have to mention us."
"What Xier said is that she didn't even act anymore and expressed her feelings directly." A poor scholar was amazed.
He looked around and found that most people had a smile on their faces and were having a great time.
It seems that everyone likes stories between beautiful girls...So, do you want to write a book on this subject?
Make money, not shabby.
Well... okay, he has a rough outline of the plot.
It's a story about five girls who love music and get together for music, drinking tea, chatting, eating snacks every day, and occasionally practicing music.
The name is "The Whispering Girl", um, it's a good name, it will definitely be a big hit!
"Is that all right? I've given you plenty of time to say goodbye."
"Cocolia isn't like those sensible villains who just disconnected when the protagonists were talking."
"The other reason I brought you here is now, Bronya."
"I want to witness your choice. I've told you all the truth; about the deal with the Star Core, the wish I made to it. There are no more secrets between us..."
"Many years ago, the voice of the star core first rang in my ears, and like all guardians before me, I closed my eyes and ears. That's how I became you now, diligently guarding the city builders' so-called protection."
“My belief was once so firm… until an unexpected variable disrupted everything; another choice appeared before me, which meant overthrowing the old order and welcoming the arrival of a new world.”
“I didn’t want to believe it… but compared to the vague and increasingly distant existence, it was so real.”
