“Hurry, hurry! Streamer, push the story forward!”
“I need to see if this game is really mirroring reality!”
“Could this actually be the perspective of the Stellaron Hunters back then?”
Gui Naifen licked her lips.
If this game truly reflected
real-life events
, then things were about to get
really interesting
.
Kafka turned to Silver Wolf and asked,
“Where’s the target location?”
“Follow the corridor through the left door. There’s a room where a certain [Curio] is stored.”
“The [Stellaron] (Cancer of All Worlds) is there?”
“It will tell us where the Stellaron is.”
[Herta] Space Station – Conference Room
A staff member watching the stream suddenly
blurted out a curse
.
Before, there had only been
hints
.
But now—
With Silver Wolf’s appearance and her direct mention of the Stellaron…
It was
basically confirmed!
This game was
an exact depiction
of what had actually happened on the space station just days ago!
And yet—
Some
daring
game developer
had the audacity
to turn it into a video game!
Not only that—
The entire
story was told from the Stellaron Hunters’ perspective!
The conference
leader
, who had been rambling on in his speech, suddenly froze.
The rest of the
half-asleep
employees in the room also
snapped awake
.
As realization hit, the leader’s
face flushed red
, as if someone had just
yanked his pants down in front of everyone
.
“You—you trying to get yourself fired?!”
“No! Boss, I wasn’t talking about you!”
The staff member frantically tried to explain.
“I was reacting to this game!”
“You dare play games during my meeting?!”
“Ah! No, I—uh, wait—!”
Five Minutes Later
The
staff member finally managed
to explain everything he had seen in the
mobile game
.
The leader
adjusted his glasses
, deciding
not
to reprimand him for slacking off during the meeting
for now
.
After consulting with the other employees, the decision was made—
Stream the live broadcast onto the conference room’s big screen.
Because—
If this game was truly mirroring
real events
, then something
big
was happening.
It meant the
developer had detailed inside knowledge
of the
space station’s incident
.
Could this be the work of the perpetrator, made to show off their crime?!
This was a
serious case of defamation
, tarnishing the image of both
Herta Space Station and Lady Herta herself!
If proven true—
They
had to file a complaint
against this game
immediately
.
“How did this game even get approved for the market? And why is it allowed to be streamed publicly?!”
At that moment,
everyone in the conference room
put aside their work—
And
focused entirely on the livestream
.
Aboard the Astral Express
Old Yang (Welt) and Himeko were both playing the game, slowly progressing through the story.
Though they already had
a vague feeling
that the game’s plot was
closely mirroring real-life events
,
As
veteran Trailblazers
, they remained
calm and composed
.
However—
The moment
Silver Wolf
appeared as a
Stellaron Hunter
,
Old Yang’s jaw nearly hit the floor.
That voice.
That
hacker identity
.
That
familiar face
.
That’s… Bronya from back then!!!
“Don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you switched to a single ponytail!”
Old Yang was
completely dazed
.
His
right hand trembled
slightly as he picked up the coffee that Himeko had prepared for him.
But the moment he took a sip—
A
sudden, violently bitter taste
made him
spit it out instantly!
“PFFT—!!!”
Himeko:
“???”
“Is my coffee really that bad?!”
Himeko was a
thoughtful
person, though.
She had noticed the moment
Silver Wolf
appeared,
Walter’s expression turned as if he had just seen a ghost.
Clearly, something about
that hacker girl
had
shaken him deeply
.
Old Yang hurriedly apologized, wiping the table with a napkin.
He had been through
countless
hardships in his life—
And yet,
this was the first time he had been so shaken.
The reasons?
The game had the word “Honkai” in its title.
It had suddenly hit him with the appearance of an all-too-familiar face.
The double impact made him momentarily believe that Honkai was still chasing him down.
Himeko
smiled reassuringly
and said,
“The galaxy is vast. It’s only natural to come across familiar faces.”
“But don’t worry—these are completely new personas.”
“Their fates may be similar, but they’re not the same people you once knew.”
Old Yang
adjusted his glasses
and gave a slight nod.
She was right.
It had to be a coincidence.
Back in Gui Naifen’s Livestream
On their way to retrieve the
Curio [Stellaron]
inside the
space station
,
The
Stellaron Hunters
were suddenly
ambushed by Voidrangers.
As soon as the battle began—
A
new character joined the team
Silver Wolf!
By now,
Gui Naifen knew exactly how to unleash Ultimate abilities.
Without hesitation, she
clicked on Silver Wolf’s icon
.
Silver Wolf:
“This combat system needs a serious update.”
The next second—
Silver Wolf’s model expanded dramatically in size.
Under her, a
massive, arcade-style interface
materialized out of thin air.
As
Silver Wolf’s fingers danced across the controls
,
The
score counter on the arcade screen
skyrocketed from
0 to 333
.
“Tch. This speed? Too slow.”
When she finally reached
999 points
,
A
brilliant golden energy beam
shot out like a meteor—
obliterating
the Voidranger below, dragging it into a
black hole
.
Livestream Chat Explodes Again
“No way! You actually made Silver Wolf a playable character?!”
“That Ultimate is way too sick!!!”
“Wait, did I just walk into a rhythm game? What is this?!”
“This game is insane! They gave us such a high-quality character for FREE?!”
“If this is real, I could play this for a hundred years!”
