Enough with the small talk.
The Cloud Knights brought Kafka to the center of the Matrix of Prescience, Fu Xuan began casting a spell without saying a word.
As the divine eye on her forehead lit up again, Kafka was also lifted into the air by the pale blue power, but she was not flustered at all. The corners of her mouth even turned up slightly, and she seemed to be enjoying this feeling.
"Aren't you scared at all?!" The onlookers were March 7th.
As expected, with a clear sound, Fu Xuan staggered back half a step, panting heavily. A few minutes later, she was struck again.
This shock was noticeably less intense than the first one; she recovered in a few seconds.
"You... just for this? For something like this?"
"So? Do you like this truth?" Kafka asked her patiently.
"Unbelievable..." Fu Xuan hesitated, "But, Matrix of Prescience is never wrong."
"What did you see?" Xing asked, voicing her most pressing question.
" Kafka has nothing to do with the Stellaron, but you... it's actually you..." Fu Xuan's gaze towards the Astral Express Crew changed.
"Ha! That's actually possible, but it's not exactly absurd."
She had already consulted the Aeon, so the Stellaron Hunters thing wasn't anything surprising.
"No, Your Lord Diviner, don't try to be Riddlers! Explain yourself clearly!"
"Go ask her yourselves... you can ask for as long as you like. I must report to the General immediately, so I cannot accompany you."
"Didn't we agree to share intelligence?" Xing scratched his head. "Tao Bu, you're so heartless. You left without even looking back."
"Sigh~ We'll have to ask them ourselves; I knew it would turn out like this."
After a unanimous decision, Xing took on the responsibility of interrogating Kafka, as she indeed had many questions she wanted to ask Kafka.
On March 7th, she unilaterally decided she didn't want to talk to bad women, thinking, "Be careful, lest you get fooled by a mature older woman again."
Dan Heng rarely gets involved in these kinds of things, and although Welt has many doubts, he can wait.
He was more curious about what kind of answer Kafka would give Xing than about himself.
"Bearing everyone's expectations, I will certainly live up to them."
"Have we forgotten something...? Where did Teacher Ye Yan go?"
"He was already chatting with Kafka while we were voting," Dan Heng said, pointing to Ye Yan, who was sharing milk tea with Kafka in the center of the Matrix of Prescience.
"It seems... that diviner already knows your identity, but unfortunately I didn't see her expression at the time," Kafka said with a hint of regret.
It was because Fu Xuan's reaction wasn't as intense as she had imagined, and because Ye Yan was nearby, that Kafka was able to deduce this information.
"Never mind who you are, would you like some milk tea?"
Kafka:...
She had reason to suspect that Ye Yan's true form was a cup of milk tea the size of the Milky Way.
If Kafka hadn't known Ye Yan's true identity, she would have genuinely thought he was just a dedicated bubble tea shop owner, all to maintain his persona.
But that's not important. What's important is that her hands are now locked, so she can't drink even if she wants to.
Someone's coming to chat with you, I won't bother them, I'm leaving now.
Ye Yan placed the milk tea in Kafka's hand, and Xing then went to Kafka. Her tone immediately softened as she greeted Xing:
"Hi, Xing... you haven't changed much."
"I'm so sorry to have shown you how disheveled I am."
After a long silence, Xing finally uttered four words: "Are you... alright?"
Hearing this, Kafka was slightly surprised, her tone tinged with delight. "Are you concerned about me? I'm fine. The Xianzhou has always treated prisoners very politely."
"I didn't speak to you on the train because I knew then that here, you and I would talk alone. So I thought, why not save everything for now? You seem to have a lot of things to ask me."
What did Fu Xuan see?
Kafka recalled the contents of the Script before it went wrong, "Well... Elio said he foresaw three problems, but they're essentially the same thing. If I hear one of them, I'll tell you the purpose of this trip in detail."
"Since you asked one of those three questions, it means everything has been going well so far. Are you ready to hear my answer?"
Xing quickly changed her tune, looking at the milk tea in Kafka's hand. "What flavor is this?"
"I don't know, do you want some?" She shook her head honestly first, then raised her hands and handed the milk tea to Xing.
"Tell me your purpose first."
"Alright. The chaos surrounding the Stellaron of the Xianzhou is not directly related to us, but if you put yourself in Elio's shoes, then... we can't say the Stellaron Hunters are innocent."
"We foresaw all of this, but we remained indifferent until the opportune moment to intervene. Master Diviner Fu was so surprised because she discovered three facts."
Kafka swirled the milk tea in her hand. "First, you already know that the Stellaron Hunters are not the enemies of the Xianzhou, even though you still don't believe it."
"Secondly, someone else brought the Stellaron into the Xianzhou and activated it. This involves both internal and external troubles. Traitors within Luofu and enemies from the outside world want to overthrow the Xianzhou. The Grand Diviner was in a hurry to find the General, presumably to inform him of this."
Watching Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan walk away, Kafka continued, "But that's all the information Taibu knows, because Elio didn't tell me any crucial information either."
"He foresaw that the Divination Commission would use the Matrix of Prescience on me. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, at this moment, I only know what the Xianzhou Alliance should know."
"As for the third fact, I'm afraid the Xianzhou Alliance would never have dreamed of it... Haha~ The third fact is: if the Stellaron Hunters wasn't the instigator of all this, then why are Silver Wolf, Blade, and I here?"
"For... us?" Xing guessed.
"Sounds absurd, doesn't it?" Kafka countered. "No wonder Master Diviner Fu didn't believe it either, but you know, the Matrix of Prescience doesn't lie, so the answer is just that interesting~"
" The Stellaron Hunters appeared here, Blade was captured, Silver Wolf is missing, and I was lured into this Matrix of Prescience —all to bring you... the Astral Express to the Xianzhou."
In the original Script, Silver Wolf was not supposed to appear on the Xianzhou, but since the garbled code had already appeared, Kafka could only make some minor changes.
The presence of three Stellaron Hunters in Luofu should be enough to illustrate the seriousness of the problem.
"However, your teacher... sped up the story a little." A genuine comment from Kafka.
" Ye Yan? According to you, the Church of Eternity's arrival in Luofu... is also part of Elio's prophecy?"
" The Astral Express is coming to Luofu, that's right, and it's going to do something big on the Xianzhou: in the future Elio has chosen, the power of the [ The Hunt ] is indispensable. For this, you must establish contact with the Alliance..."
"As for [ Eternity ]... you've already met it in Jarilo-VI, haven't you? I don't know much about the Church; it's better to ask Silver Wolf for more detailed information."
That's the truth. Kafka really had no contact with the Church of Eternity. She didn't recognize any of the Chair or priests; she felt like she was out of touch with the times.
