As a Researcher in Star Rail, I Joined the Chat Group

"Is that so?"

Kafka chuckled softly.

Without further hesitation, she pressed the Stellaron into Stelle's chest, pushing firmly until it was embedded within her body.

At this moment, Chen Mu arrived on the scene.

Watching the spectacle before him, his face was filled with a smile.

This was the iconic moment of Stelle's birth, and also the iconic moment of Mommy Kafka's debut.

However...

Upon seeing Chen Mu, the expressions on Kafka and Silver Wolf's faces instantly shifted to shock.

"Kafka!" Silver Wolf shouted.

"Understood." Kafka replied, instantly appearing in front of Silver Wolf.

Originally, with the Stellaron implantation complete, Kafka had intended to soothe the newly born Stelle.

But Chen Mu's arrival clearly left Kafka with no mood for that.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two began their escape. Their bodies rapidly digitized, vanishing right before Chen Mu's eyes.

Chen Mu: "..."

Seeing their actions, the corner of Chen Mu's mouth twitched slightly.

Was he really that terrifying?

He remembered promising that he wouldn't interfere with Kafka and Silver Wolf, didn't he?

Besides, he hadn't acted all that scary during his previous encounters with them, had he?

Was it really necessary to run the moment they saw him?

Forget it.

Watching Stelle's body slowly descend from mid-air, Chen Mu clearly had no time to dwell on such things. With a teleport, he reached out his hands and gently caught her.

Stelle's eyelids fluttered slightly.

It was clear that she was about to wake up soon.

"Where... am I?"

Stelle woke up in a daze, her eyes immediately landing on the figure of Chen Mu.

For a moment, she was stunned into a stupor.

What a handsome man.

Who... is he?

"You're awake?"

Chen Mu looked at Stelle in his arms, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he spoke in a mild tone:

"Listen to me, there's no need to be nervous. Your mind is a complete mess right now; you don't know who you are, why you're here, or what you're supposed to do next. But you don't need to be anxious. None of that matters. What matters is that you've woken up, which signifies a brand-new beginning.

You don't need to dwell on the past, nor do you need to doubt yourself. I promise you that, from here on out, you will have many wonderful journeys, you will encounter many beautiful things, and you will have companions who are like family. Perhaps at the end of your journey, all the confusion you feel now will vanish into thin air."

Stelle looked at Chen Mu before her.

Listening to his gentle words, she only felt her eyelids growing heavy once again.

"If you feel tired, just rest a little longer. Don't worry about a thing."

Chen Mu watched Stelle's expression and said softly.

"Mm."

Stelle responded faintly, then slowly closed her eyes, sinking back into the darkness.

Chen Mu looked at the incredibly peaceful expression on Stelle's face, and he let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

As for him, right now.

He just felt a bit speechless.

Mommy Kafka really is... she gives birth but doesn't raise, completely irresponsible.

She actually just ran off like that?

Can you even call yourself Mommy Kafka like this? You don't deserve to be called a mother at all!

She forced Chen Mu to have to step in.

To settle Stelle's emotions first.

Hm?

Come to think of it, does this count as him stealing Kafka's plot?

Realizing this.

The corner of Chen Mu's mouth twitched slightly.

Damn it!

Chapter 33 Kafka: I feel like I've lost my status as a mother

"The coordinates for this person didn't come from the Space Station..."

"At a time like this, why worry about that? There's a living person right in front of us; we can't just leave them, right?"

"Hey, Chen Mu! Say something over there! What's going on with this person? Their heartbeat and pulse are both extremely weak. We aren't going to have to perform CPR, are we?"

"..."

When Stelle woke up again.

In her daze, she heard chaotic voices around her.

As she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a cute and beautiful pink-haired girl, as well as a young man who looked somewhat serious.

As her memories returned to her brain.

Stelle felt a panic in her heart and instinctively looked around.

Only after seeing Chen Mu's figure not far away did she feel at ease.

"Hey, hey, you're awake? That's great! Are you okay? Can you hear me? Do you remember what your name is?"

Seeing Stelle wake up, March 7th hurried over and asked happily.

Stelle glanced at March 7th but didn't speak; instead, she turned her head to look at Chen Mu, a smile appearing on her face.

"Why are you looking at Researcher Chen Mu? Could it be that you know him?"

Seeing this, March 7th widened her eyes and asked curiously.

"I know..."

Stelle clutched her head, shook it, and said, "I don't know. I... I don't remember anything."

"Eh? Amnesia? That's troublesome. Do you remember your own name?"

March 7th tried to get Stelle to recall her memories, asking, "Do you remember?"

Stelle remained silent.

"Stelle, her name is Stelle."

Just then, Chen Mu stepped forward and finally spoke up.

Stelle was taken aback by his words.

She repeated her name twice in her heart.

Her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Mm, Stelle. My name is Stelle."

Stelle said this with a look of earnestness on her face, casting a grateful glance at Chen Mu.

"Hello. I haven't had the chance to introduce myself yet. My name is Chen Mu. I look forward to working with you."

Chen Mu smiled gently and reached out his hand toward Stelle.

After muttering Chen Mu's name to herself a couple of times, Stelle smiled, reached out, and shook his hand, saying earnestly:

"Mm, I look forward to working with you too, Chen Mu."

"Wait, what?"

March 7th, standing to the side, was dumbfounded by the scene.

"Why do you know her name, Chen Mu, but you two are acting like you're meeting for the first time?"

Chen Mu and Stelle exchanged a look and smiled at each other.

During the time Stelle had been unconscious again, March 7th and Dan Heng had undoubtedly found their way here.

As for Chen Mu, March 7th and Dan Heng naturally knew who he was.

After all, the Astral Express and the Space Station dealt with each other often. Given Chen Mu's reputation, it would have been difficult for March 7th and Dan Heng not to know him.

Chen Mu hadn't been surprised to see March 7th and Dan Heng arrive while he was watching over Stelle.

Chen Mu ignored March 7th's question and began to introduce them:

"They are March 7th and Dan Heng, members of the Stellaron Express. They interact with our Space Station from time to time, and as it happens, they came to help when the Anti-Matter Legion attacked."

"Are we already at the introductions? Hi there, I'm March 7th!"

March 7th said, flustered but full of energy.

"I am Dan Heng."

Dan Heng nodded in response as well.

Stelle nodded back at them. Although she still had many questions, she didn't voice them.

"As for Stelle, she's a special child who has lost her memories."

When Chen Mu introduced Stelle to March 7th and Dan Heng, he thought for a moment before saying that.

"Lost your memories? That's so pitiful. But don't be sad—actually, I'm just like you. I don't have memories of my past either. Besides, even if the memories of the past are gone, we can still create memories for the future!"

Hearing Chen Mu's words, March 7th was startled, then began to gesture wildly, trying to comfort Stelle in her own way.

Stelle heard March 7th's words, and her favorability toward her rose instantly.

"A special child? I wonder what makes her special, Mr. Chen Mu?"

Dan Heng's focus was different upon hearing Chen Mu's words, and he asked thoughtfully.

For some reason, ever since he saw this girl named Stelle, Dan Heng felt that she was far from simple.

"Hmm... if you're asking what makes her special, it's probably the fact that she has a Stellaron inside her."

Chen Mu felt there was no need to hide it, so he spoke directly.
