Chapter 162

"It's nothing; if it weren't for the query limit, I wouldn't have thought of it."

Kafka replied.

In fact, it was indeed so.

If the number of queries hadn't been limited, Kafka would definitely have tried all the numbers in the list.

Only after failing to find the answer would she consider right and wrong.

But by then, she might have stepped into a dead end.

She might not have thought of the answer.

It can only be said that she was lucky.

Of course.

It's not ruled out that this was an arrangement made by the person who wrote the script.

Subsequent matters.

Were much simpler.

The information queried not only had the location but also the specific method to find the Stellaron.

The two were equivalent to getting a decryption guide.

If they still couldn't find it after following the "guide," the two shouldn't be Stellaron Hunters anymore; they might as well find a neurosurgeon to take a look.

And when that unactivated "Stellaron" appeared before their eyes.

Silver Wolf couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder we couldn't find it; it was hidden deep enough, actually hidden in multi-dimensional space!"

"Even if we luckily found the entrance to this space, if we didn't proceed in the correct order, we would very likely get lost inside!"

"Coupled with various blinders, I suspect even Herta couldn't find it!"

Kafka replied, "Herta can't find Herta's collection in the Herta Space Station?"

"So what if it's Herta? Anyway, I feel that Lin Qi is no longer an ordinary genius! Geniuses also have levels! Why, don't you think so?" Silver Wolf said loudly.

Obviously.

A mission to find a Stellaron made her completely convinced.

She didn't even think about breaking through the barriers set by Lin Qi anymore.

In the future, if she encounters anything related to Lin Qi, she should just look for off-field assistance.

This is not something she can solve.

As for Kafka.

Although she didn't say anything, her admiration for Lin Qi in her heart was no less than Silver Wolf's.

She even couldn't help but think.

Since Firefly could get what she wanted through Lin Qi.

What about her?

Could she also?

Looking back at Silver Wolf.

Actually, Silver Wolf had already found what she wanted.

Which was "adventure."

This script was much more exciting than the original one.

Looking at Silver Wolf's appearance, it's hard to say how much of her heart is still in the Stellaron Hunters.

Maybe...

She also wants to jump ship?

Finally, there's Blade...

Is Blade's immortality really that hard to sever?

Can't even the Star-Falling Heavenly Spear kill him?

If possible.

He doesn't seem to have any need to stay in the organization either, right?

Kafka thought while executing the mission.

This was unimaginable in the past.

For a moment.

Kafka even had a feeling that the Stellaron Hunters were about to break up.

Why?

Because the hearts are scattered, the team is hard to lead!

I don't know if Elio, who can predict the future, predicted this.

Probably not.

Otherwise, would he be so relieved to let them participate in the modified script?

Just as she was thinking.

Silver Wolf's voice sounded.

"Kafka, have you made a decision? About the Stellaron host?"

"Uh... is there a need to choose? Isn't there only one?" Kafka replied.

"The process still has to be followed, but since there's no choice, should I teleport her over?" Silver Wolf said.

"Teleport her; I just don't know how much she still remembers."

"At least she will remember you."

Silver Wolf said, and added in an uncertain tone, "Maybe... she will also remember Dr. Lin Qi?"

104. March 7th: What about the memory loss? How come you know more than me?

Hearing Silver Wolf's words, Kafka paused for a moment.

That the Stellaron host would remember her didn't surprise her.

For one.

This was something mentioned in Elio's script.

Although Elio was unreliable now, its predictive accuracy could still be guaranteed.

And according to the prophecy, she and the Stellaron host would eventually change each other.

So it was normal for the Stellaron host to remember her.

They had spent the longest time together.

And had developed a deep bond.

What about Lin Qi?

Kafka recalled.

The number of times she met the Stellaron host could be counted on two hands~.

And most of them were related to learning.

These things all happened several years ago.

Let alone the Stellaron host losing her memory.

Even Kafka, who had normal memory, had to use recollection to remember.

But listening to Silver Wolf, the Stellaron host wouldn't forget things related to Lin Qi?

"Silver Wolf, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Kafka asked again.

"Not very sure."

Silver Wolf paused and explained, "The reason I said she would still remember the Doctor is mainly because of the Synesthesia Dream in Jarilo; you know, that thing itself has a lot to do with Memetic Entities, and coupled with the Doctor's uniqueness, you know, who can guarantee she would forget it all?"

"Alright, you're right; things involving Dr. Lin Qi really can't be judged by common sense."

Kafka sighed and nodded.

Whether she was willing or not, once things involved Lin Qi, she had to change her way of handling them.

Or rather.

Treat it as an irresistible factor.

Hmm...

But under normal circumstances, people would only regard "Aeons" as irresistible forces.

It can only be said that Lin Qi is too special.

Making even the Stellaron Hunters helpless.

While thinking.

Kafka had already made a decision.

Then.

Silver Wolf didn't talk nonsense and directly teleported the sleeping and memory-lost Stellaron host over through Aether Editing.

And then.

It was what happened in Elio's script.

Lin Qi didn't change this part.

After the Stellaron was implanted into the star body, Kafka said a few more words.

"Listen to me: Your head is a mess right now. You don't know who you are, why you're here, what you're going to do next; you feel I'm familiar, but you don't know if you should trust me..."

"But these don't matter. What matters is that I'm leaving, and I'm going to leave you alone in this space station. So from now on, you don't need to think about the past, and you don't need to doubt yourself anymore."

"Listen to me: You will encounter many dangers next, be in terrible predicaments; but you will also encounter many wonderful things. You will have companions like family, and start adventures you couldn't imagine even in your dreams..."

"And at the end of the journey, all the puzzles that bother you will be... solved?"

Kafka suddenly paused.

She was saying her "lines" according to the script.

But when she got to the end, she found that even she couldn't convince herself.

All the puzzles will be solved?

Whether Elio's script is still accurate is another matter!

As for the future it predicted...

Better not talk about it.

Finally, Kafka didn't say too much.

She just smiled and said, "When you have a chance to make a choice, don't let yourself regret..."

After speaking.

Kafka and Silver Wolf turned and left.

But after leaving, the thought in Kafka's heart became increasingly unable to calm down.

That last sentence, while seemingly said to the Stellaron host, wasn't it also said to herself?

Choice?

Yes!

I have other choices now!

Just like Firefly, who had already gained redemption after jumping ship.

Arriving early at the shore that belonged to her.

Then what about herself?

Is there also this possibility?

Kafka was born on a planet polluted by a Stellaron, so she couldn't feel the existence of "fear."

Although this characteristic made her invincible in missions and battles and played a big role.

But this was precisely what she wanted to change.

Can a person who cannot feel fear still be called a person?

Obviously not.

Kafka wanted to make herself complete.

This was precisely why she joined the Stellaron Hunters, and Elio's promise to her.

And now.

She seemed to have other choices?

Dr. Lin Qi should be able to do it too, right?

"Kafka, you seem a bit absent-minded?" Silver Wolf suddenly asked.

"Uh... maybe, I'm thinking about a very important matter." Kafka said softly.

"Alright, because you're rarely like this, I'm a bit curious. Could it be... because of Stelle? You two really have a good relationship!" Silver Wolf sighed.

"..."

Kafka didn't speak.

To tell the truth.

Stelle's departure also left a deep impression in her heart.

But it was just a departure, not enough to make her melancholy.

However, she couldn't explicitly state the real reason.

She couldn't tell Silver Wolf she wanted to jump ship, right?

But then again, would Wolf also have similar thoughts?

Carrying complex emotions, the two left the space station.

On the other side.

Storage cabin.

Stellaron storage location.

Seele and March 7th arrived here.

"Hey, there's a person here!" March 7th suddenly said.

"What's so strange about someone being here?" Seele carried her scythe, preparing to rush to the next place; she hadn't killed enough yet.

"No, I mean, this person doesn't look like someone from the space station; could it be... a Wingweaver?" March 7th said casually.

"Hmm? Then I have to go see; if it really is, I'll give them a scythe!" Seele said.

All the way here.

Although the space station wasn't severely damaged, it still made Seele very annoyed.

This was the Commander's asset.

How could it be destroyed like this?

Must strike hard against these guys.

So.

Once she discovered anything related to Wingweavers, she wouldn't let it go.

The two came to Stelle and observed for a moment.

It's just a pity that neither of them had deep knowledge.

One had no interest in learning, and the other had a short "school age"; even if her talent was very good, it was impossible to remember so much knowledge in the universe.

Therefore.

The two couldn't make an accurate judgment about Stelle's origins.

Only knowing she wasn't a Wingweaver, nor was she from the Antimatter Legion.

"Ask Asta; she's the acting station master; she should know if this person is an employee of the space station."

March 7th thought for a moment and said.

To this.

Seele naturally didn't object.

Not long after.

Asta gave an answer.

This person wasn't an employee of the space station, but she couldn't say for sure about her specific origins.

Hearing Asta's words.

Seele's eyes became sharp, and she even moved her muscles.

At the same time, she gave a conclusion.

"I suspect she's a stowaway! Or an interstellar thief! Trying to take advantage of the chaos to come to the storage cabin to steal things!"

"Ah? How did you come to this conclusion?" March 7th was dumbfounded.
