Chapter 592

~6 min read 1,195 words

Just at this moment, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

She had a graceful figure and elegant demeanor, using a large black umbrella to cover her face, very mysterious.

"Long time no see, everyone on the Astral Express."

A mature and intellectual voice rang out, and the mysterious intruder moved away the black umbrella that blocked her vision, introducing herself:

"I am Kafka."

Welt Yang pushed his glasses, grabbed his cane, and was ready to activate the Herrscher's authority at any time.

Pom-Pom was panicked, and March 7th hid behind Bai Xuan.

Kafka walked past everyone with elegant steps:

"Ah, the timing is good. Everyone is here—seems to be."

"Charming self-introductions are unnecessary—'Stellaron Hunter'." Himeko's expression was unkind.

"Himeko? Right?"

Kafka smiled evilly, extended her left hand and pointed her index finger at this mysterious navigator.

The two ladies seemed to be tit-for-tat, and both erupted with powerful auras.

If there were elements like "Dou Qi" in this world, the two empresses might have fought to the galactic frontier, and the Paths would have been worn away.

"Sorry to interrupt your party."

"But I believe after hearing my request, you will understand my intrusion."

Kafka's tone carried a smile, walking around the carriage like a tour, her right hand fluttering on the windowsill, as if she were treating it like a piano.

"I want to ask you—to change the destination."

"'Stellaron Hunter,' I've seen you, but it was on the IPC's bounty list, that's an astronomical bounty—and dead or alive. Do you know what your bounty is?"

Himeko stared at Kafka's phantom, tit-for-tat.

Believing such a "Stellaron Hunter" who has stained her hands with countless blood and destroyed countless worlds is worse than believing that the "Destruction" Aeon suddenly turned into the "Preservation" Aeon.

Kafka stopped in front of the blooming flowers, maintaining a leisurely posture, carefully examining the texture on the petals, her expression without half a ripple:

"Not really concerned."

"The IPC's bounty list, rather than saying it's notoriety, it's better to say it's praise—the bigger the number, the greater the praise."

March 7th suddenly inserted into the confrontation between the two big shots, shrugged, her tone a bit helpless:

"You wanted criminals think quite openly..."

"Speaking of which, Herta has also praised you." Taking the lead, Himeko took the opportunity to play.

"'A madman who claims to be able to see fate, leading a group of desperate lunatics, chasing the most dangerous things in the universe!'"

"Herta rarely praises people."

But unexpectedly, as she spoke, Kafka returned to the crowd with a full face of smiles.

"'Chasing the most dangerous things in the universe'?... On this point, your train and I are the same kind of people."

"Moreover, since the Foundation and the anomalies appeared, the name of 'most dangerous in the universe' no longer belongs to the 'Stellaron', right."

"... Am I right, this mysterious little brother?"

"Oh, that's right." Bai Xuan raised his hand to take off the monocle from his right eye, wrapping it in a handkerchief and wiping it constantly.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, and his black, lightless eyes stared calmly at Kafka's phantom.

Just for a moment, Kafka had a very strange feeling.

It seemed that everything about her was unfolded in front of him, no matter what she thought, no matter what secrets she hid in the bottom of her heart, or what color underwear she was wearing today, were all completely known to the other party.

But is this possible?

The one appearing on the "Astral Express" is just a projection, an illusory image with only an appearance.

Just as she was thinking quickly, Himeko spoke:

"You came to the wrong place, Kafka."

"We don't intend to accept your request, nor do we intend to have anything to do with the Stellaron Hunters."

"Glad to chat with you, maybe one day you are willing to visit in person, then we can talk again."

Kafka lowered her eyes and sighed softly.

Such a situation, had been expected, right?

At the moment, only the only option remains—revealing the trump card.

"Have you heard of the 'Luo Fu'?"

Welt Yang and Himeko made eye contact, communicating with their eyes.

Subsequently, this middle-aged gentleman looked at the hunter's phantom:

"One of the six giant ships of the Xianzhou Alliance, Xianzhou 'Luo Fu.' We know."

Kafka maintained a slight smile:

"Hmm, but what you don't know is: this Xianzhou is very close to you now, at a distance that can be reached through two jumps."

"Moreover, 45 system hours ago, a 'Stellaron' exploded on the Luo Fu..."

"A disaster from nowhere... isn't it?"

Welt Yang looked at Kafka with a strange expression:

"'Stellaron Hunters,' what are you planning..."

"The Xianzhou Alliance is not as easy to talk to as we are. Once targeted by the 'Hunt,' you are no longer hunters, but prey, and the Alliance will chase you to the end of the universe."

"Speak directly. Don't play riddles, Kafka." Himeko also frowned.

By the way, suspecting whether Kafka was born as a "Riddler."

"Very simple," Kafka, "This Stellaron has nothing to do with us, but the Xianzhou has already blamed the Stellaron Hunters."

While speaking, Kafka's phantom disappeared and was replaced by a tall, fierce-eyed man.

"My companion Blade was taken away by the Cloud Knights, I want to bring him back, resolve this 'Stellaron' crisis, and clear our suspicion."

March 7th's tone was unkind:

"Nothing to do with you? Who believes it, there is no such coincidence that you appeared just after the Stellaron exploded..."

"Besides, you and us don't have any friendship, whether the Stellaron Hunters are innocent or not has nothing to do with us~"

Bai Xuan patted the bristling pink-haired cat and smiled with narrowed eyes:

"Alright, alright, why are you so angry, be careful of getting pimples on your face."

"Eh?" March 7th was stunned for a moment.

"Moreover, didn't we just deal with the 'Stellaron Hunters,' forgot, that 'Silver Wolf' whose game account was deleted by Herta?"

March 7th nodded, and her anger subsided a lot.

"Moreover, that is Dan Heng's hometown... Fate is truly wonderful, isn't it?" Bai Xuan continued, "Along the way, 'Stellaron' and anomalies have accompanied us."

"This is still a bit too terrifying," March 7th evaluated.

What if.

If it is a what if.

Someone claims that the locations where anomalies are active highly overlap with the trajectory of the "Astral Express."

Then will they be treated as some kind of ominous existence.

Seeing that the pink-haired girl no longer opposed, Kafka listed the options for the train group:

"You can also choose to stay out of it, start the jump to the next world while the Stellaron hasn't polluted this airspace yet."

"But in time, this star rail will be blocked again."

"I can tell you what the future will be like: if you do not head to 'Luo Fu', the 'Stellaron' will eventually contaminate the entire Xianzhou, and approximately half of the residents on the ship will lose their lives……"

"Brave pioneers, Nameless who do good deeds, I think you won't sit idly by."
