Just the next second——

sizzle.

There was a sound like glass being squeezed and broken.

The space showed signs of being shattered, and in an instant it expanded to the entire room with the chest of the virtual soldier as the center.

The department was filled with hundreds of spatial cracks, like an oversized electrostatic ion ball, or glass marbles that had been smashed into pieces and then pieced together again.

"what……?"

San Yueqi stood there in a daze as he watched the changes in front of him.

The next second, a noisy "sizzling" sound was heard, as if someone was sweeping up the broken glass on the ground with a broom.

The outer wall of the "glass marbles" was shrinking continuously, contracting from the wall of the department toward the center, like a tightening fishing net, gathering all the twenty-odd virtual soldiers together, and finally pressing them tightly against each other, squeezing them.

In the end, it really became the size of a glass marble, and it was obvious that all the virtual pawns were compressed into this small dot.

boom!

The glass beads exploded and turned into scattered glowing stardust, scattering in every corner of the department.

The department, which was originally crowded with people, was suddenly quiet.

From the moment An Yi threw out the "Latitude Blade", he put his hands behind his back and did not move.

“Just…just solved it?!”

San Yueqi belatedly put down his bow and arrow.

"Is it the control space? ...Or, latitude?"

Dan Heng put away his spear and said thoughtfully.

"An Yi, is this also magic?!"

Sanyueqi came close to him and said, "I, I thought you only knew the trick of making juice out of it!"

An Yi smiled and patted her shoulder.

"be careful."

After he finished speaking, before San Yueqi could react, the black and gold magic floating cloak pulled An Yi's body and flew quickly towards the road leading to the storage compartment.

"Hey——An Yi, wait..."

In the huge department, only San Yueqi and Dan Heng were left looking at each other.

————————————————————

Black Tower Space Station, storage compartment, where the "star core" is stored.

The members of the "Star Core Hunters", Kafka and Silver Wolf, were looking at the gray-haired girl who was half-conscious in front of them.

Kafka

"Where are you going..."

The girl's voice was very weak.

“Go to the next place and pave the way for a prepared future.”

Kafka responded: “It’s like weaving a tapestry. You and I can only weave one golden thread at a time, but it will eventually become a beautiful picture.”

"How long will it take?"

Silver Wolf urged.

Silver Wolf

"According to Elio's script, the longer we stay here, the more likely we are to run into someone."

Elio, the "slave of fate", is also the core figure of the "Star Core Hunter" and has the ability to foresee the future.

[System time 23:57:49, you should be able to handle the matter well. There is a certain possibility that the man will not meet you and you can leave smoothly.

——There is a certain possibility that the man is not held back by the antimatter army, and you will meet him. In that case, you may be in trouble. Whether you can leave smoothly... depends on his mood. But please rest assured, if this happens, Kafka, tell him what I said...】

This is the "script" that Elio gave them before the operation began.

Silver Wolf glanced at the time and said, "I don't want to run into any troublesome characters... Ah, Elio said that the fate of the universe is in the hands of that guy, is it really that exaggerated?"

"Just a moment, Silver Wolf, I'll finish what I'm saying quickly."

Kafka responded, and then continued to speak to the gray-haired girl:

"Listen to me: someone will come to see you soon, just go with them."

"Ka... Fuka..."

The girl's breath was very faint.

“When you have the opportunity to make a choice, never let yourself regret it.”

Kafka stood up, and as she said this, the girl finally couldn't hold on any longer, closed her eyes and fainted.

"Okay, let's hurry up-"

Silver Wolf's words suddenly got stuck in his mouth.

"..."

"..."

The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Silver Wolf and Kafka stood there, looking down at the ground, not daring to move their bodies.

There are three people in the room, right?

But...why are there four shadows?

Silver Wolf glanced at Kafka, and Kafka returned his awkward look.

It seems that I have encountered it again.

It's a bit troublesome, but according to Elio's script, we should be able to get out of this unscathed.

Thinking of this, the two of them slowly turned their heads back.

Against the wall in the room, there was a man in a black and gold cloak floating.

He was suspended in mid-air, his arms folded across his chest, looking at the people in front of him with an expression that couldn't help but laugh:

"Hmm... am I disturbing you? Please continue. I usually wait for the bad guys to do their bad deeds before catching them red-handed."

He landed slowly, turned sideways, and looked at Kafka as if he were watching some funny play.

His expression was somewhere between being able to hold it together and not being able to hold it together.

His every move seemed to be trying to ease the awkward atmosphere in the room.

In Silver Wolf's opinion, it would not be surprising if he burst into laughter the next second.

Yes, this look made Silver Wolf want to match it with that music:

"What is love?"

Baby don't hurt me

"Don't hurt me no more"

like this:

What Silver Wolf saw (not)

--------------

It's time for the hell joke segment again

Chapter 13: Elio? Let’s go together!

This is not funny.

Because I was facing this man personally.

His smile made me feel dangerous. Maybe the villains in cartoons often smile like this.

Silver Wolf felt her mouth was a little dry, she pursed her lips and then looked away.

Kafka looked at Silver Wolf, who stared at the ground and spoke silently:

"Go and communicate with him."

"……All right."

"Be careful what you say, the fate of the entire universe is in your hands."

Silver Wolf warned quietly.

So Kafka walked forward and gave Anyi a polite and decent smile.

"so……"

An Yi spoke first.

"Do you have to bring your children with you when you go out to work now? It's really hard."

"?"

"?"

An Yi's words made Yinlang and Kafka both stand there in a daze.

Two seconds later, the two of them finally understood what An Yi meant.

"I'm just a little short! I'm not a kid!"

Silver Wolf said this through gritted teeth.

"Do I... do I look as old as a child?"

Kafka's smile froze on her face.

She now had the urge to shoot this man in the forehead, and she probably thought the same thing as Silver Wolf next to her.

No, no, no, we can't conflict with this person for the time being.

According to Elio's prediction, if he and Silver Wolf attacked this man, they would be killed in an instant.

Reason told Kafka to stay calm, so she took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse.

"Ah? Oh... sorry. So what is your relationship?"

"…Um, colleague? Or partner."

Kafka replied.

"Wow, that's strange. Now people in the Antimatter Corps use the word colleague."

An Yi was a little surprised.

"What? No, we are not from the Antimatter Corps."

Kafka thought the other party might have misunderstood something.

"Ha, when the antimatter army attacked the space station, you used space teleportation to come here. Aren't you the mastermind behind it?"

"This assumption is not valid... After the Star Train arrived, the Antimatter Army attacked the space station. Why don't you suspect that the Star Train is the culprit?"

“…………That does make some sense.”

An Yi was speechless, but then shook his head:

"No, no, no, stop talking about that. Based on what you just did, do you have anything else to quibble about before I pack you up and send you to Station Master Ester?"

As An Yi spoke, he raised his left hand and pointed it at the two of them.

Kafka took a half step back, remaining quite alert.

It was exhausting talking to this man, but Elio's words had to be delivered.

"Well, listen to me—"

Kafka sighed and activated her "Word Spirit Technique".
