At the same time, somewhere in the base cabin of the"Black Tower" space station.

A woman with burgundy hair was playing the"violin" gracefully following the music in the elevator, which seemed out of tune with the chaos in the outside world caused by the invasion of the antimatter army.

Her eyes were closed, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her, only her and her"violin". Her fingers danced on the strings, flowing out a beautiful melody, as if it could soothe all the chaos.

In the outside world, the station chief Esta was also evacuating with all the staff, and Alan from the security department led other security personnel to fight against the invasion of the antimatter army. And everyone on the Starry Sky Train also arrived at the space station at this time.

Suddenly, a loud noise outside the elevator interrupted the interest of this elegant woman and stopped the action in her hands.

She opened her eyes, looked at the alarm in the elevator, frowned, and looked at the virtual screen that suddenly appeared in front of her, but did not show any surprise or nervousness, but said calmly

"It seems that I came at the wrong time~"

The screen was also answering her.

"No, I think you came at the right time."

The voice was free of any other emotions, as if all this was just a game for her.

However, the voice continued without hesitation.

"System time, 23:47:15, you are very punctual, Kafka"

"The future that Elio saw was not wrong. What happened to the explosion just now? Is this also in the script?"

The burgundy-haired woman named Kafka asked calmly.

"Yes, the script mentioned"At 23:44:59 system time, the pulse generated by the explosion caused a large-scale paralysis of the main control system.」"

"Did you do it?" Kafka asked calmly.

"「The"Antimatter Legion" did it. They invaded the space station two system hours ago."

Kafka whistled softly after hearing this. This action seemed to be her assessment of the situation and preparation for the future.

"Do we need to fight the Legion?"

"I don't know. Elio didn't say anything, which means it's not important."

"I see. Then...from now on, I will take over the operation." Kafka said with a smile.

"Got it. Uh, can you let me have more fun this time? The previous operations... were all very boring."At this time, the voice on the virtual screen suddenly seemed a little disappointed.

"Sorry, today's task is also very boring: just"put the target in"."

Kafka couldn't help but smile softly after hearing this, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness and pampering in that smile, and then changed the subject:"But, if you want to have fun, I won't stop you"

"after all……"

Suddenly, the screen disappeared, and the elevator door opened with a whoosh, and outside the door stood a few pawns.

At this time, Kafka walked out of the elevator leisurely."——After all, Elio wasn't in the script.……", then slowly took out the submachine guns on both sides of his waist,"——It doesn't matter!!"

As Kafka finished her words, she gently pulled the trigger, and the submachine gun spurted out hot flames, instantly defeating the approaching virtual soldiers. Her movements were elegant and decisive, as if she was dancing a deadly dance. The chaos and danger in the space station seemed to have no effect on her rhythm and mood. After a moment, Kafka killed all the virtual soldiers, came to the door leading to the corridor, and turned on the switch.

""When did the Antimatter Army become so weak?"

Kafka teased as she walked.

At this moment, the voice that had been heard on the virtual screen appeared again on the communicator.

"This is all the troops I can lure here. You don't want this place to be targeted by the main force of the legion, do you?"

"Even this kind of stuff can't hold back the people from the Star Dome Railway~" Kafka said in a playful tone.

"Don't worry, a Doomsday Beast is here too."

Kafka walked leisurely in the observation corridor of the base compartment, and did not immediately respond to the person on the communicator. Instead, she noticed the electronic portraits arranged in the corridor.

She stopped, looked at the portrait and said,"This is... Zandar, Zandar I. Kuwahara? The first genius in history"

"The legendary person who created Boshizun?" The voice on the communicator was a little surprised.

"Yes, it was him... If the legend is true, then he is the man who created the Star God."

Kafka smiled softly, with a strange light flashing in her eyes,"But how much truth there is in the legend, who knows?"

"It would be better if the legend is not true. I don't want to be a Zandar hunter."The voice in the communicator clearly has a sighing sound.

Kafka did not respond to the voice in the communicator immediately, but continued to walk and observe other electronic portraits.

Until the last portrait. On the picture, there is a mechanical humanoid life form.

At this time, Kafka showed a playful smile.

"Hey! Silver Wolf, look, it's ScrewGum! Your old rival!"

The voice in the communicator was silent for a while, and seemed a little helpless."Alas, I've already said it, I didn't know it was him at that time.……"

"But it was that battle that made Elio take a fancy to you: There is actually someone in the universe who can crack the program of Screw-Gum!... Well, first it was Screw-Gum, then it was Black Tower. I'm afraid no one in the universe has ever offended two geniuses in such a short time. It's fate.~"

"Alas... It seems that I am the"slave of fate"."

The voice in the communicator was a little self-deprecating. Kafka was also tactful and did not continue the topic. She continued to walk forward.

Finally, she came to the sensor door leading to the reception center at the end of the corridor.

After the door opened, she saw several virtual soldiers.

"Oh, it's so numb���"Ah, the coat will get dirty~"

Kafka complained softly, but her movements did not slow down at all. She quickly raised her submachine gun, and a burst of hot flames burst out again, instantly defeating the approaching virtual soldiers. Her movements were still elegant and decisive, pouring out all the bullets until all the virtual soldiers were dealt with, and then she put down her double guns. Then Kafka patted her coat lightly, as if cleaning the dust on it.

However, at this moment, a fish that had escaped the net rushed over from behind, and the arm blade of the virtual soldier stabbed at Kafka's back.

Suddenly, at the moment when the arm blade was about to touch Kafka, the virtual soldier turned into a data stream and disappeared in the current space.

"It's not my job to clean up other people's messes, Kafka."

As the voice fell, a gray-haired girl with blue highlights and blue-purple gradient technology glasses sitting on a desk far behind Kafka jumped off the desk to the ground, chewing bubble gum in her mouth and operating something on the virtual screen in front of her with one hand.

""Okay, okay~Silver Wolf, where did you throw it just now?"

Kafka smiled and looked at the girl in front of her, her tone full of pampering and helplessness.

"I just typed the coordinates casually, there's nothing special about them. Why, are you concerned about the whereabouts of that pawn?"

Silver Wolf said, with a hint of mischief in his tone.

"I don't care~ It's just... No matter how many times I see it, I will always think that your methods are really incredible~"

"It's just a trick to modify the real data. It's not worth mentioning."Silver Wolf shrugged and said calmly. In her opinion, this is not something worth mentioning.

"By the way, what were you looking at just now? Why are you so interested? Let me see it, too."

At this point, Silver Wolf suddenly became interested:"The toys in the Black Tower, the catalog of"strange things" collected by the space station, there are many interesting things in it."

"For example?"Kafka was a little curious about what could make Silver Wolf so interested.

"There is a gun that can score the creatures that appear in the crosshairs, ranging from 0 to 100"

"……Where's the fun in this?"

"Eh? Aren't you curious about how many points you will get?... I'd really like to know."

Kafka looked at Silver Wolf's eyes full of curiosity and expectation, and couldn't help but smile softly.

"Okay, if it’s on your way, let’s go and have some fun. Where is the target location?"

"Going deeper into the corridor behind the door on the left, there is a room with some"strange objects""

"Could it be that……「"The star core" is there?"Kafka widened her eyes and looked at the direction pointed by Silver Wolf.

Silver Wolf smiled confidently and said,"It can tell us where the star core is."

After that, the two of them went deeper into the corridor, and several virtual soldiers that jumped out on the road were also eliminated. In the end, without much effort, they finally arrived at the deepest part of the corridor - the main monitoring room.

The two entered the monitoring room and looked around.

"There is no one here. It seems that the evacuation was done quite thoroughly. Was it the order from Black Tower himself?"

Kafka looked around the empty monitoring room and couldn't help but sigh.

Silver Wolf looked through the message on the arm terminal and said,"Look at the access record... Well, that woman hasn't logged in here for more than half a year. The evacuation work is directed by the acting station chief, a person named Ester."

"Hmm? I haven't heard of the name... Ah, Elio seemed to have said that we wouldn't run into the Black Tower, it seems she really wasn't there.……"

"……So, where is the"star core"?
