Chang Le Tian, an open-air plaza.
A woman with light makeup, like everyone else, was holding her jade token and watching the content on the screen with relish.
Except, unlike others.
She wasn't playing Honkai: Star Rail, nor was she watching Xiaogui's stream.
She was communicating with her companions far on the other side of the galaxy.
【Silver Wolf】：“Kafka, as you wished, those people on the Star Express have changed course and come to attack Xianzhou Luofu.”
【Kafka】：“Good, that means the corresponding part in my script is complete.”
Not long ago, she had given an impromptu performance on the train.
In fact, she wasn't lying.
The Star Nucleus Hunters did have ulterior motives, but these motives weren't for the Star Nucleus Hunters themselves.
But to connect the Star Express and Xianzhou.
To put it more bluntly.
It was to make Xianzhou owe the Star Express a favor.
In the foreseen ending, the power of the Hunt was unattainable.
Though it had some twists and turns, Kafka still completed her part.
【Kafka】：“So, Silver Wolf, I'll leave opening the Jade Realm Gate to you.”
However, there was no reply from the other side of the screen.
She waited for three minutes.
Kafka couldn't help but send another message.
【Kafka】：“Bao, are you there?”
Another three minutes passed.
【Kafka】“Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?!”
“If you don't act now, the train crew will turn back.”
【Silver Wolf】：“Don't worry.”
“Let me finish farming these materials.”
Kafka:：“……”
【Silver Wolf】：“I'm raising 8 characters at the same time, the materials are simply not enough, it's driving me crazy.”
【Kafka】：“Where did you get so many five-star characters?”
【Silver Wolf】：“I'm also raising some four-star characters, like March 7th, Asta, and Tingyun.”
“Although they're four-star characters, their skill mechanics are very interesting. It's not a loss to raise them before higher-tier replacements come out.”
“Ah, I finished farming.”
【Kafka】：“Can you open it now?”
【Silver Wolf】：“Let me see, oh, they've already entered Luofu.”
【Kafka】：“Huh? Wasn't the Jade Realm Gate sealed ahead of time?”
【Silver Wolf】：“Didn't you see Elio's script?”
【Kafka】：“You know how chaotic fate has become since the emergence of Honkai: Star Rail.”
【Silver Wolf】：“It's sealed there, but it's become a popular tourist spot, with a Luofu connector opening the gate for me.”
【Kafka】：“The origin point of the Star Nucleus explosion becoming a popular tourist spot? The Xianzhou people are really interesting.”
【Silver Wolf has gone offline】
【Kafka】：“Bao, stay and chat with me a little longer.”
【Silver Wolf has come online】
【Silver Wolf】：“You seem very happy today?”
【Kafka】：“Elio's script has me in it, and the Star Rail plot has me in it. How could I not be happy?”
【Silver Wolf】：“When you enter the gacha pool, I'm going to pull you hard.”
【Silver Wolf has disconnected】
Ending the conversation, Kafka finished the Cali Blanc in front of her.
She looked towards the dark, massive buildings in the distance.
“Good times always have an end.”
“A-Ren, wait…”
“I'm coming to save you.”
Xingcha Sea, Sicheng Palace.
Under the guidance of Yuhong, the train crew arrived here.
The moment they entered.
Two holographic projections on the projection sand table looked over with fervent eyes.
“……This is General Jingyuan of Luofu, and this is Master Fu Xuan, the head of the Taibos.” Yuhong introduced one by one.
March 7th suddenly felt a bit awkward, whispering in Star's ear: “There are so many bigwigs right from the start, I'm so unaccustomed to it.”
Star nodded: “Me too.”
Just as Old Yang was about to introduce himself, Jingyuan smiled slightly and said: “Everyone from the Star Express, I've heard of you for a long time and have been longing to meet you.”
“Not only did I hear about you in rumors across the universe, but I have witnessed your pioneering journey from beginning to end in the plot of Honkai: Star Rail, it was truly spectacular!”
March 7th poked her finger a little embarrassedly.
As expected!
This game has already become a hit in Xianzhou.
Even Luofu's general knows everything about it.
“Then explaining many things will be much easier.” Old Yang nodded in agreement.
“That's right! If it weren't for watching the game's plot, the Taibos would definitely suspect that you were in cahoots with the Star Nucleus Hunters.”
Fu Xuan crossed her arms and said,
“But now, I have one hundred percent trust in you.”
“Then let's get straight to the point.”
Jingyuan waved his hand, and the image of a man reappeared on the sand table in front of him.
It was the Star Nucleus Hunter, Ren.
“You should all know this person's identity.”
“Now, Ren is imprisoned in our Luofu's Youqiu Prison. We have foreseen that he will attempt to escape, so we have already dispatched most of our forces to guard there.”
“However, the game plot also foretells another thing, the Star Nucleus is about to erupt.”
“These two major events combined mean that Luofu's current manpower is severely insufficient.”
“This is exactly when the Star Express is needed to lend a hand.”
March 7th's eyes lit up: “I understand! So, General, you want to entrust us with finding clues to the Star Nucleus and sealing it in advance, to prevent the Star Nucleus eruption disaster, right?”
“No.”
Jingyuan looked at Dan Heng with a meaningful gaze,
“We have our own ways of handling the Star Nucleus.”
“I want to ask you… to go to Youqiu Prison, to be a surprise force to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to rescue the prisoner.”
These words were like a bolt from the blue.
Dan Heng, March 7th, and Star were all taken aback!
Not long ago on the train, Kafka had wanted to entrust the train crew to go to Youqiu Prison and help her rescue Ren.
Now, Jingyuan is also asking them to go to Youqiu Prison to prevent anyone from rescuing Ren!
To save, or not to save?
That was the question!
