Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 50 Silva Landau

Upon hearing the sound, everyone was startled, instinctively assuming that there were still some Silvermane Iron Guards who had slipped through the net among the group of unconscious Silvermane Iron Guards at the entrance to the restricted area.

The two who reacted the fastest, Danheng and Xier, immediately summoned their weapons and then quickly turned around to look behind them.

After turning around, the two finally saw the person's appearance clearly. She was a blonde woman dressed in a very rock-and-roll style. Her top was mainly black and white, but cleverly incorporated blue elements, creating a very striking color contrast.

It was also decorated with various metallic ornaments, which shimmered brilliantly under the light, adding a touch of unruliness and wildness to the woman in front of her.

She paired it with black shorts, the length of which was just right—not too revealing, yet still showcasing her beautiful leg lines.

At the same time, she was also wearing a pair of black pantyhose, which perfectly matched her shorts. The sheer black fabric made her legs look longer and added a touch of mystery.

Seeing that Danheng and Xier were holding weapons, the blonde woman waved her hand in a flustered tone and said, "Hey! Wait, don't take out your weapons, I'm not a Silvermane Iron Guard!"

“Have you heard of the mechanical house ‘Perpetual Motion’?” the blonde woman quickly explained to the two. “Or you must have heard of the band ‘Mechanical Fever’?”

Upon hearing the blonde woman's words, Danheng and Xier exchanged a glance, both showing a look of confusion on each other's faces.

Then, the two men gently shook their heads at the blonde woman, indicating that they were not familiar with the two names.

Seeing the two's reactions, the blonde woman's eyes gleamed with a strange light. She rested her chin on her hand, revealing an expression of great interest.

"Wow, I've never heard of the Mechanical House, and you've never even heard of the 'Mechanical Craze'? You guys... aren't locals in Belloberg, are you?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Who are you and why are you following us?"

Too lazy to waste words, Seele didn't hesitate to hold the sharp scythe to the blonde woman's neck, hoping to force her to explain her purpose.

Feeling the chill emanating from the scythe, the blonde woman, unsure whether Seele would actually strike, dared not make a move.

"Don't get excited! I'm a mechanic from Belloberg, and I run a mechanic shop in the administrative district. My name is Silva Landau, just call me Silva."

The blonde woman, who identified herself as Shiluva, said with a smile.

"As for why I followed you, it's because I saw you sneaking around behind Cocolia when we were in the city, and I followed you out of curiosity."

"But speaking of which," Hiluva suddenly changed the subject, fixing her gaze on March 7th, "what did you say about wanting to do if you met the person who designed this bridge?"

Faced with Hiluva's sudden question, March 7, who hadn't quite caught up, paused for a moment. She suddenly remembered that she had just been complaining about how unreasonable the bridge's design was.

When March Seven saw that even with a scythe held to her neck by Seele, Hiluva was still thinking about asking herself this question, she couldn't help but think: Could it be that she designed this bridge?

With this question in mind, March 7th tentatively asked Silva, "You didn't design this bridge, did you?"

Upon hearing March 7's question, under everyone's gaze, Silva nodded and smiled as she admitted, "Yes, I participated in the underlying logic writing for this bridge before, so I can be considered one of the bridge's designers."

"So, now that the designer of this bridge is standing right in front of you, what are you going to do?" Hiluva smiled at March 7, seemingly waiting for her response.

March 7th gave a slightly embarrassed laugh, then quickly changed her words on a whim: "Uh... if I were to run into her, I would definitely... I would definitely praise her properly!"

"The design of this bridge is simply ingenious and unique; it's truly breathtaking!"

Seeing this sudden change on March 7th, Hiluva couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Haha, to receive such high praise from you, it seems I'm not such a complete failure after all."

At this moment, Danheng, who had caught the key information, suddenly spoke up and asked Shiluwa, "Since you are the designer of this bridge, can you tell us how to cross it?"

"You're going to the other side of the bridge?" Hiluva was taken aback, her smile instantly freezing. "That's 'hell on earth' over there."

When Danheng asked her question, Xiluwa frowned, a hint of doubt flashing across her face.

She didn't understand why this group of people would want to go to the other side of the bridge for no reason. After all, that side was the earliest rift in the world, and it was also one of the largest and most dangerous rifts in existence.

"Forget about 'hell,' just tell us how to cross the bridge! If you cause us to lose Cocolia, you'll be in big trouble later!"

Seele looked displeased, her tone laced with threat, and as she spoke, the sharp scythe in her hand moved even closer to Hiluva's neck.

However, under Seele's threat, Hilva did not show any fear or panic. Instead, she looked at Lin Qiong and the others with unusual calmness.

"I can tell you how to cross the bridge, but in exchange, you have to tell me why you're following Cocolia. That's not an unreasonable request, is it?"

After hearing the conditions proposed by Hilva, Seele turned her gaze to Danheng, her eyes questioning.

She wasn't used to negotiating with others. When she was in the lower districts, if she encountered someone who caused trouble, she would usually beat them up first and then make plans after the person behaved.

Under Seele's gaze, Danheng rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought, seemingly considering whether the conditions proposed by Hiluva were reasonable.

Because he wasn't sure if Hilva was on Cocolia's side, he feared that revealing their purpose to her too soon might cause unnecessary trouble.

Just as Dan Heng was weighing the pros and cons, Lin Qiong, who was standing behind, suddenly stepped forward and told Hilva in detail about the purpose of their pursuit of Cocolia.

Those who witnessed this scene were unclear about Lin Qiong's motives, and they all wore expressions of confusion.

"...Qiong! Why did we tell her our purpose?" March 7 asked Lin Qiong anxiously. "What if she informs Cocolia?"

On March 7th, everyone voiced their questions, and they were all waiting for Lin Qiong to give a reasonable explanation.
