Chapter 576
"That guy... he's just playing with me like this!"
At this moment, it was clear to Kafka that Silver Wolf's defenses had been breached by the opponent.
It's important to know that a hacking expert like Silver Wolf is, in his own field, capable of holding his own against even Screwllum from the Genius Club.
Silver Wolf, who could handle even an emperor with ease, has now been so easily broken down...
"What on earth is that guy doing?!"
Thinking of the attack he had faced less than a minute ago, Silver Wolf gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
"This kind of offensive and defensive tactic... I've never seen such a domineering method before!"
"No, it's more like a one-sided 'erosion' than an attack or defense."
"... It seems it's not a coincidence."
As she listened to Silver Wolf's description, Kafka narrowed her eyes slightly.
Earlier, when she heard the black-haired man say "get out, "Silver Wolf was immediately in trouble.
The two are unrelated... She thought Sam probably wouldn't believe it if she told him.
As for why Kafka targeted Lin Yu directly.
Lin Yu is handsome—that's definitely not the main reason.
In fact, after the images appeared in the train carriage, Kafka noticed that the child she had been concerned about was actually focusing her gaze on this man.
As for what emotions were contained in the child's eyes... Kafka could easily see it.
It was because of that child that she developed some interest in Lin Yu.
Unexpectedly, before the probing words could even be uttered, the other party directly used this incredibly domineering method to warn Kafka and Silver Wolf about something through Silver Wolf.
I can locate you at any time, so you'd better not do anything rash.
This time, in order to rescue her companion [Blade] from the Luofu Xianzhou, Kafka had Silver Wolf and herself wait in a star field near the Luofu Xianzhou.
In other words, the train is only two jumps away from the Luofu Xianzhou, so if Lin Yu knew their coordinates, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to catch them directly.
Of course, if Lin Yu simply takes the two of them to the company to collect their reward after catching them, then there's not much of a problem.
Although Stellaron Hunters are extremely wealthy, not everyone in the company that has them wanted is willing to kill them.
In reality, some people in the company have some shady dealings with Stellaron Hunters.
If they were arrested by the company, at most they would become high-class black slaves who couldn't be seen in the light of day; death... they probably wouldn't die.
However, even if Lin Yu catches them, he might not actually hand them over to the company.
Kafka really didn't have much information to draw upon to analyze the thoughts and behavior of this new, unnamed guest.
The footage retrieved from the Herta Space Station after the Silver Wolf invasion is definitely not enough.
If they are not careful in their actions, she feels that the probability of them crashing and burning is quite high.
After clarifying her thoughts, Kafka felt that their plan might need a slight adjustment this time.
The group on the Stellaron Hunters was never one to be trifled with, and now two new nameless passengers have appeared.
According to the footage recorded by the Herta Space Station, this seemingly younger, nameless individual was a ruthless person who could easily crush the Doomsday Beast with his bare hands.
Crushing the Doomsday Beast in one blow is their lower limit, not their upper limit.
Considering what the other party is doing to Silver Wolf, Kafka thinks that unless someone is a fool, they wouldn't 'dispatch' the Stellaron Hunters according to the original plan when such a person appears.
After all, doing so would be much more troublesome, and compared to the negligible gains, she felt that provoking the other party without rescuing Ren was somewhat of an insult to the difficulty of the rescue mission.
Sigh, I only wanted to muddy the waters, but who would have thought that a terrifying deep-sea behemoth was hiding there.
Hopefully, it's a relatively gentle orca, rather than an incredibly ferocious tiger shark, otherwise...
Haha, maybe this time, Ah Ren will fulfill some of his wishes.
Stellaron Hunters. Carriage
"This! Woman!"
After Kafka disappeared, March 7th angrily addressed the crowd.
"She came out of nowhere and left out of nowhere—who does she think she is? Why should we listen to her and change our route?"
"... March is right."
Dan Heng, who had clearly been acting strangely ever since he heard the name Luofu, spoke to everyone in a completely uncharacteristic way.
"I do not agree with going to the Luofu Xianzhou. After the Star Core erupted there, the Luofu Xianzhou has the means to handle it without any need to worry too much."
"After all, unlike Belobog, there are hunting envoys like the 'Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Divine Bow' on that side."
"For the Luofu Xianzhou, which has a command system and a complete crisis response system passed down for many years, extra manpower would only cause some unnecessary trouble."
"Moreover, the timing of our arrival now is too coincidental—at this point in time, they might be thinking 'better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free' and imprison us strangers who 'suddenly visited during the star core's eruption' in advance."
Hearing Dan Heng suddenly speak so much, not only the old train crew members who knew him well, but even Welt, who had only known Dan Heng for a short while, could tell.
This young man, who had been so calm just moments before, suddenly started spouting so many words like a machine gun. It seems he was definitely in a panic.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was a bit off, Himeko, as the de facto deputy of the train crew, immediately addressed everyone.
"Alright, everyone, think it over carefully."
"We still have enough time. It's not too late to make a decision after everyone has discussed it."
"Yes, I understand—Xing, Dan Heng, come here, let's have a proper discussion."
After watching March 7th call Xing and Dan Heng away, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly.
"Sigh, I'm only twenty-eight years old, but why do I always feel like there's a generation gap between them and me?"
"Well, some things aren't about age, but about temperament."
Recalling the details revealed in Lin Yu's actions, Himeko said with great helplessness.
"It's not that you give people the impression of being old-fashioned, it's just that Xiao Sanyue thinks you're not the kind of person who can be easily changed."
"On another note..."
Seeing that the crowd had subtly divided into two factions, Welt asked Himeko.
"I've only been on the train for a short while, and now there's going to be discussion and a vote... Am I going to...?"
"Certainly."
Hearing Welt's question, Himeko smiled and said to Welt.
"Every Train Crew Members we approve of has the right to vote."
"And actually, I'm quite curious now, Mr. Welt, what choice will you make?"
"This is undoubtedly a calculated move."
After expressing his thoughts, Welt went on to share his subsequent speculations.
"After arriving here, I judged from my interactions with everyone that you are all good people."
"Unfortunately, good people often find themselves in a passive position, which is an immutable theorem in our world and the universe."
"Because everyone here is a good person, I think that the moment that woman said 'the Luofu Xianzhou might be in trouble,' I think many things no longer need to be discussed."
"After all, what that woman was implying was—if you don't go, and something happens to the Luofu Xianzhou, then it's your problem."
"This is undoubtedly a blatant act of moral blackmail—which is why I call it a 'open conspiracy'."
Himeko gave a wry smile as she listened to Welt's analysis.
"That's quite right, that's indeed the case. So, if you were to make the decision, what would you think...?"
"—Of course, we should go and find out."
After saying this as if it were the most natural thing in the world, Welt spoke calmly.
"If nothing happens when we go, then at most we can just consider it a mistake."
"But if something really happens over there, we have the opportunity to save more people, yet we choose the wrong path because of suspicion..."
"If that were to actually happen, I think..."
"I'll probably regret this for the rest of my life if I ever think about it again."
PS: 9K, there will be another update, but it will be a little slower.

Trailblaze Chapter 31. Luofu Xianzhou, Go!
Inside the think tank, Lin Yi, who had been brought here by March 7th, watched March 7th speaking incessantly and Dan Heng nodding incessantly, and felt...
Sigh, I felt that in the end, all those words of rejection from Sister March 7th were ineffective.
It's obvious that Brother Dan Heng doesn't want to go to the Luofu Xianzhou, but Sister March 7th says, "I don't want to listen to that woman," but...
Given her personality, she'll most likely end up going to the Luofu Xianzhou because of the information that "not going might result in death."
After all, that's how things are these days. Kind-hearted people tend to set extremely high standards for themselves. When faced with situations where they could have done something but didn't, resulting in problems, they'll start condemning themselves because of their high moral standards—even if the matter has little to do with them.
If you ask her why she's so skilled in this area—it's because her father is that kind of person.
"Anyway, everyone has agreed."
After saying that, March 7th looked at Lin Yi.
"Xiao Yi, what are you thinking? Do you... want to go and take a look at the Luofu Xianzhou?"
"Well, rationally speaking, it's not good to choose a time when the Luofu Xianzhou might have an accident if you want to travel."
After saying that, Lin Yi didn't say anything more.
She already had a choice in her heart, but now, although she knew the general choices of others, she still hoped that she would not interfere too much with their decision-making.
As for which side everyone will choose—Grandpa Welt, a man who would risk his life to save the world, versus her foolish father who could fly alone to the Imaginary Space to seal the Cocoon of Finality, she doesn't even need to guess which side they will choose.
With her included, there are now three votes in favor. In other words, if one of the remaining four people —Himeko, Dan Heng, March 7th, and Xing—chooses to go to the Luofu Xianzhou, then the answer is already determined.
As for the four people whose choices haven't been finalized yet... well, their standards are too high. Apart from Dan Heng seems to have a real hidden story, it would be strange if the others didn't choose to go to the Immortal Ship.
Sigh, just as I thought, when it came time to vote, Sister March 7th was the first to 'defect'.
Belobog
Svarog Koski, who had witnessed the whole spectacle in the city of Belobog, was talking to himself in front of an old television set.
"Hey, brothers and sisters in charge of intelligence gathering this time, you really got me, old Svarog, into a mess."
"Nobody told me that such an unpleasant guest had come to the Stellaron Hunters."
After saying that, Svarog shook his head to himself.
"Luckily, I, Old Svarog, have a snake's way, which saved me from some awkward situations. Otherwise, if I hadn't been wearing my mask, I would have had a real headache if I had encountered this guy."
"But..."
