Star Rail: I, a Researcher, Joined the Chat Group

At this moment, at the Space Station.

The alarms blared incessantly as flames spread everywhere and countless people fled in panic.

Rumble!

A massive breach had been blasted open in the Space Station, and an endless number of Anti-Matter Legion soldiers began pouring inside.

Seeing this scene.

Chen Mu quickly understood.

This was... the beginning of the plot!

The Anti-Matter Legion was attacking the Space Station, while Kafka and Silver Wolf took the opportunity to awaken the Trailblazer.

It was not difficult to guess.

After all, this was Herta's Space Station!

Who would risk Herta finding out just to attack this place for no reason?

Realizing this.

Chen Mu vanished from where he stood in an instant.

"Ensure your own safety first! Prioritize evacuating the ordinary staff!"

"Organize personnel immediately! Gather all available combat forces and clear out the Anti-Matter Legion!"

"Move quickly! Everyone, be careful!"

Inside the Space Station.

At this moment.

As the Station Master.

The moment the attack began, Asta stepped forward to command the entire Space Station, anxiously issuing orders to everyone.

After receiving the orders, everyone in the Space Station hurried into action.

Boom!

Another deafening explosion rang out from somewhere.

Looking at the situation before her, Asta was filled with anxiety, and at the same time, she felt like coughing up blood.

Why did it have to happen today?

Why did something have to go wrong on the very day Xiao Mu was away?

It made Asta feel utterly miserable.

She believed that if Xiao Mu had been here, he would definitely have been able to prevent all this from happening.

There was no particular reason for it.

It was simply Asta's blind trust in Chen Mu.

Of course.

That was only one reason.

The other was that.

Only after the Space Station came under attack did Asta learn that Herta was not at the Space Station either.

Naturally, there was nothing Asta could do about her teacher.

But...

Wasn't this just too unlucky?

The attack had happened at the exact moment when the two most crucial people of the Space Station were both absent?

Asta felt as though she was about to go mad.

But now.

Since it had already happened.

As the only one still at the Space Station, she could only do everything within her power!

At this moment.

Somewhere in the Space Station.

March 7th and Dan Heng from the Stellaron Express had also arrived.

And besides them...

A girl with purplish-red hair, wearing a burgundy coat that tightly wrapped around her body and outlined her perfect figure, had also arrived.

She was one of the Stellaron Hunters—Kafka.

"Looks like the Space Station isn't all that peaceful either."

Unlike the others.

Kafka watched the utterly chaotic Space Station, yet her expression remained calm, even somewhat languid and unconcerned. An air of elegance radiated from her.

Just as Kafka finished speaking.

A light screen appeared before her, and Silver Wolf's voice came from within.

"Looks like it. But this is also part of Elio's script. At 23:44:59 system time, the Anti-Matter Legion will attack the Space Station. The pulse generated by the explosion will directly cripple the Main Control Section."

"So, are we going to fight the Legion?"

Kafka asked, blowing a playful whistle.

"Avoid them if we can. The Stellaron Express crew has already arrived at the Space Station as well. Elio didn't say when Chen Mu would return, so to be safe, we should finish the mission and leave as soon as possible."

"The Stellaron Express...? What a coincidence~ Still, dealing with those Star Rail people is definitely better than dealing with Chen Mu and Herta!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kafka charged out, drawing her twin pistols in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, bullets rained down.

The interweaving bullets formed an impenetrable net, instantly shredding the Voidrangers blocking her path.

In an instant.

Every Voidranger was reduced to fragments and ashes.

Before long.

She arrived in a room and met up with Silver Wolf.

"Don't worry. I've already lured the Anti-Matter Legion's main force over to deal with the Stellaron Express crew."

"And a Doomsday Beast showed up too."

"The Stellaron Express can't affect us. Unless something unexpected happens, this operation is guaranteed to be foolproof."

After meeting up with Kafka, Silver Wolf walked up to her and declared confidently.

"Oh, is that so?"

At that moment.

A voice suddenly rang out from above them.

Along with that voice.

Chen Mu's figure.

Slowly appeared before the two of them.

Kafka and Silver Wolf's pupils both contracted when they saw him.

Chen Mu smiled and said:

"I wonder, does my early return count as an unexpected development for you two?"

"Chen Mu?!!"

"Chen Mu?!!"

Upon seeing Chen Mu.

Kafka and Silver Wolf's pupils shrank, and they both cried out involuntarily.

Though this was their first time meeting him.

Some people were simply like that.

After knowing of someone for so long.

When that person truly appeared before you, you could recognize them at a single glance.

However.

Kafka and Silver Wolf had no mind to care about that now. Turmoil churned in their hearts, and neither of them was calm.

You've got to be kidding?

He came back that quickly?!!

Then what was the difference between him leaving the Space Station and not leaving at all?

Kafka turned to look at Silver Wolf in astonishment.

She couldn't understand what was going on with Elio's prophecy, or whether it had foreseen this situation at all.

Silver Wolf merely rolled her eyes at Kafka.

How did she know?

Elio had only said that Mr. Chen Mu would leave the Space Station today and that it would be the best opportunity. He had never told her this.

If she had known Mr. Chen Mu would return so quickly, she would not have been this careless. She would have made thorough preparations instead.

Then again, Elio had once said that even Aeons could not see through the fate of someone like Mr. Chen Mu. He himself could only catch scattered glimpses of it.

It was simply that Kafka and Silver Wolf had not taken it to heart at the time.

In the end, the two of them had trusted Elio's prophecies too much!

But...

His prophecies had never been wrong.

Wasn't it only natural for them to believe in them?

"What are you two whispering about over the team voice chat? What, are you surprised to see me? This is the Space Station. Isn't it perfectly normal to run into me here?"

Chen Mu slowly descended to the ground and said with a light laugh as he looked at them.

It was a very strange feeling. Seeing people he had once known from the game appear before him, personally witnessing the beginning of the game's story—it was quite fascinating.

Most importantly, this was his world too.

"Oh my~ Elio really didn't tell us that Mr. Chen Mu would return to the Space Station so early."

"He told us that you would be leaving the Space Station today, heading somewhere very far away—so far that even he did not know where that place was. He told us to avoid you at this time today, yet as you can see, we still ran into you."

"Mr. Chen Mu, did you go there and come back already, or was Elio's prophecy wrong? Could you perhaps clear up my confusion?"

Kafka said with a smile at the corners of her lips, looking entirely unconcerned.
