Stelle had a lot of questions swirling through her mind.
How had her undercover identity been exposed right from the start?
Who exactly was this regional leader, codenamed Green Pheobe?
Even a well-trained Trailblazer like Stelle couldn't help feeling shocked and suspicious.
Just then, the man opposite her, wrapped in bandages, continued:
"Why did the Astral Express come to the Luofu? When did you arrive? Who else is on this Trailblaze mission besides you? March 7th? Welt? Dan Heng? Or Himeko? Surely it isn't Pom-Pom."

He said wearily:
"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon after parting in the Simulated Universe."
