Inside Gui Nai Fen's livestream.
The current popularity has surpassed more than three times her usual!
A large portion of viewers are anxiously and excitedly watching the unfolding plot.
If the game's content truly reflects real-life events, then today can be considered a historical witness.
At this moment.
Two Star Core Hunters, Kafka and Silver Wolf, have arrived at a monitoring room within the [Black Tower] space.
Silver Wolf, through technical means, has cracked the location of the Star Core.
“There's an independent protection system… Seems like the [Star Core] is no ordinary treasure for the Black Tower.” Silver Wolf said.
“Can we retrieve it?”
“Of course, in the realm of hacking, even the genius Black Tower is no match for me.”
After the conversation.
Kafka walked forward, holding the golden orb in her hand.
This is the legendary Star Core!
Silver Wolf is operating the screen on the other side in an orderly manner.
Projecting an image onto Kafka's front.
She stated: “The carrier is ready.”
“You decide.”
At this time.
In front of Gui Nai Fen and all the players, the screen was completely dominated by the images of two figures.
One male and one female.
Both had a head of gray hair and wore similar black-toned coats.
Beside each character, there was a corresponding sentence.
——Activate carrier [Star]
——Activate carrier [Qiong]
Kafka: “Aeliou said, this choice will change many things.”
Silver Wolf: “Aeliou also said, the one who makes this choice must be you.”
This image directly stunned Gui Nai Fen.
What's going on!?
Aren't the Star Core Hunters here to steal the Star Core?
Why are they suddenly choosing people now!?
“Family, I'm a bit confused, what's going on here?”
……
“Don't even talk about the streamer, I'm equally clueless right now!”
“Isn't this the Black Tower's collection room? How did it suddenly turn into a delivery room?”
“Could this be the true protagonist?”
“Why hesitate! Definitely choose Star, look at those long legs!”
……
Gui Nai Fen licked her lips.
After comparing, she felt the female character was cuter.
Simple and kind-hearted, she looked like a righteous and honest person.
Similar to herself.
She immediately decided on the carrier.
For easy viewing, she directly used the original name—Star.
After selection.
A package of data was sent to Silver Wolf.
Right beside them, Star's body began to be printed.
Kafka, holding the Star Core in one hand, tiptoed towards Star.
Leaning her face close.
She asked: “How much does she remember?”
“At least she'll remember you.”
“Heh…”
Kafka put one arm around Star's waist, and the other hand holding the Star Core directly pressed it against Star's chest.
“Time to wake up.”
No foreplay, no preparation.
Just like that, she shoved the Star Core inside!
Gui Nai Fen was dumbfounded.
Is this how the Star Core is used?
Just force it in!
Taking a deep breath.
Perhaps due to too much immersion, Gui Nai Fen felt a blockage in her own chest, as if something was shoved in.
The scene shifted.
It transitioned to a first-person perspective.
This should be the female protagonist—Star—who was just awakened by the Star Core.
Simultaneously.
Three dialogue options appeared on the right.
【This… is… where?】
【Kafka… Ka?】
【… You are… who?】
Gui Nai Fen decisively chose the second option.
At this moment, Kafka was looking at the protagonist with a “gentle” and smiling expression.
However, because everyone had received information about how insidious and treacherous the Star Core Hunters were, dangerous individuals and all…
So, in Gui Nai Fen's eyes, Kafka seemed to be hiding a knife behind her smile.
Hearing the answer.
Kafka's eyes widened in surprise.
“Great, you still remember me.”
She glanced back at Silver Wolf.
She spoke again: “[Listen to me]: Your mind is in chaos right now. You don't know who you are, why you're here, what you're supposed to do; you feel familiar with me, but you don't know if you should trust me—”
“——But none of that matters. What matters is I'm leaving, I'm going to leave you alone in this space station. So from now on, you don't need to think about the past, and you don't need to doubt yourself anymore.”
“[Listen to me]: You will encounter many dangers, face terrifying situations; but you will also encounter many wonderful things. You will have companions like family, start adventures you can't even imagine.”
“And at the end of your journey, all the puzzles that trouble you will be solved.”
“This is the future that Aeliou foresaw and the future you will reach… Do you like it?”
【I like it… maybe.】
【I don't want to…】
【Where are you going…】
Gui Nai Fen didn't rush to choose.
Her hands kept rubbing her chin, pouting her lips.
“Family! Could Kafka be a riddle person? What does she mean by saying this?”
“Is there any brother in the livestream to explain?”
The barrage instantly flooded.
……
“This [Listen to me] was specially marked by the production team, it's clear that the production team is reminding us that the color of these three words is different from the others.”
“Isn't that obvious?”
“[Listen to me] has a different color because it needs to be declared before calling the function.”
“A person from the Knowledgeable Guild is here too?”
“Stop arguing, I'm the one who's right! —This is Kafka's word-spirit ability, similar to using psychological suggestion to control someone's actions.”
“Damn! Kafka is so powerful? If I encounter her, wouldn't I be played like a puppet?”
“Don't worry, you'll never meet her in your life. Besides, you're already a puppet.”
