"Or do you tell the other person before you go to their house as a guest?"
"Sigh, I see a shadow of an old friend in you. You know, we Nameless are always polite."
As he spoke, Silver Wolf tapped something in the air. "I understand, it's a difference in customs. Punklorde don't have this tradition, Stellaron Hunters generally don't do things this way either."
"Don't you often see those scenes in movies where the homeowner comes home, turns on the lights, and finds someone already sitting on the sofa waiting for them? Kafka and Blade both like to do that, and Sam won't even let him turn on the lights."
"But I'm different; I'll greet them before they even enter the room."
"Then I feel it would be even more terrifying." Feeling multiple gazes focused on them, Ye Yan an awkward smile.
"Haha... don't mind us, you two chat."
" Teacher Ye Yan... we're talking about your hometown right now! At a time of life and death, is your reaction really this calm?"
" March 7th, you're stupid."
Xing walked over to March 7th and flicked her on the head again.
"Why did you hit me again!" March 7th said, covering her head in grievance.
"Have you forgotten this hourglass necklace? We can conclude that as long as you have a weapon blessed with [ Eternity ], you have a way to seal the Stellaron."
"Oh... I see." March 7th suddenly realized.
"Doesn't that mean that [ Eternity ] Emanator everyone the potential to become a Stellaron Hunters?"
"Blind student, you've spotted the key point." Xing patted March 7th on the shoulder. No wonder she's her best friend! Their thought processes are remarkably similar.
"Of course you can stay out of this. Before the Stellaron pollutes this airspace, you can initiate a jump and go to the next world. But in time, this orbit will be blocked again."
"I can tell you what the future holds..." Kafka repeated the Script she had memorized word for word, "If you don't go to the Stellaron [ Luofu ], the entire Xianzhou will eventually be contaminated, and about half of the inhabitants on board will perish."
"A brave and fearless Trailblazer, Nameless does good deeds... and a highly praised [ Eternity ] Emanator, surely they won't stand idly by." Kafka has a knack for praising people.
Himeko remained silent, unable to draw a conclusion for the time being. "Your companion, the one named Blade, also couldn't escape it, right?"
"Well, I can't comment on that. The coordinates are here; it's up to you to decide."
"Though our goals are vastly different, the orbits of the stars will eventually intersect. Goodbye..."
Just as Kafka was about to leave, a leisurely voice interrupted her, "Wait a minute~"
Kafka paused, a barely perceptible smile creeping from her tightly pursed lips, as if she had already anticipated those words.
" The Astral Express... isn't a place you can come and go as you please. Sir Hunter, if I, the [ Emanator ], were to leave like this, wouldn't I lose face?"
"Oh no, this is bad." Upon seeing this, Silver Wolf immediately cut off the real-time transmission of the virtual image.
March 7th's eyes widened. "You just betrayed your teammates like that?! And then left without even looking back?"
" The Stellaron Hunters are not united..." The naive March 7th was successfully fooled.
"Something's fishy..." Welt keenly sensed something was wrong; the fact that Kafka dared to show herself in the carriage was strange enough.
Although the Stellaron Hunters are a bunch of lunatics, even the craziest wouldn't dare to venture into a tiger's den alone, unless... they're plotting something.
"Since we're heading to a celestial ship we've never set foot on before, how can we do it without a guide?"
"Huh? Wait, wait... why did we ask her to lead the way? I'm getting lost again."
"Perhaps, this is the laziness of ' Eternity '..." Xing said with relief.
Ye Yan, retracing the events of the original story, ignored the silent Kafka and began explaining to everyone:
"Think about it carefully, everyone. Didn't we just say that her companion, Blade, was taken away by the Cloud Knights? This suggests that Kafka herself may very well be hiding in Luofu."
"The eruption of the Stellaron on Luofu will definitely cause a series of upheavals. Our sudden arrival at this time will surely arouse suspicion from the person in charge of the ferry."
"It's very likely they'll insist that the Astral Express colluded with the Stellaron Hunters. In that case, to prove our innocence, we'll be forced, yet willingly, to become bait to reel in the big fish."
"To avoid unnecessary procedures and intrigue, I caught the big fish... Of course, this was all part of her plan."
Ye Yan quickly made amends, and Kafka also cooperated fully.
Even if she doesn't show herself, given Ye Yan's personality, he'll probably use some means to bring her over.
Just kidding, Kafka has heard Silver Wolf tell the story of how she and the Masked Fools joined forces to fight against the Church Chair.
While Sampo distracted Blake, Silver Wolf lurked in the shadows, manipulating the holographic projection, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment.
To everyone's surprise, Blake didn't even glance at him. He casually made a grasping motion in the void, and the Silver Wolf was forcibly dragged to his front by a powerful energy.
Searching for enemies from afar—that's the power of [ Eternity ].
"It's not a plan, it's the [future]. We intervene among countless future possibilities to turn the best [future] into reality."
"Do not elevate us, for Emanator, and all living beings in the world, are Destiny's Slave."
"What nonsense! What do you mean by the best future? Whose best future is it? I don't believe you'd ever think of anyone else." March 7th was the first to refute Kafka's statement.
Kafka, unhurried and patient, explained to March 7th, "For the entire universe... do you believe it? Of course, it's for me."
"Alright. The Astral Express doesn't have the Jepella Brotherhood's interrogation procedures; someone else will be interrogating you. Now... give us some private time."
Ye Yan and Kafka disappeared from the Parlor Car, and the group began to discuss:
" Kafka... well, Pom-Pom doesn't like her; she has a dangerous aura about her. However, the path and goals of the Trailblazer must be chosen by the Trailblazer themselves. This is Lord Akivili's creed."
"How could the mighty Xianzhou Alliance be breached by a single Stellaron..." Welt pondered.
According to his understanding, the Xianzhou Alliance is one of the few factions that draws power directly from the Aeon. Their strength is extremely powerful, far exceeding that of the train under the protection of the deceased Akivili.
The stars scattered throughout the Milky Way may be destroyed by the crisis of the Stellaron, but the Xianzhou is a Lan with the [ The Hunt ] ability. Based on Ye Yan's words just now, it can be deduced that the Xianzhou [ Luofu ] should be threatened by far more than just the Stellaron.
"This is a matter of great importance; I will participate in the operation this time."
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Party Car
"So, how was it acting in a play with the Aeon?"
Kafka breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew~ Good, hopefully it won't happen again."
