Guinaifen's Live Stream
Guinaifen had no idea just how many people were tuning in to watch her gameplay decisions unfold.
And yet—
The events in the game were shaping the course of fate itself.
Guinaifen let out a long sigh. "Whew, finally finished reactivating the three main arrays of the Divination Commission's Matrix."
"Wait, isn't this the Divination Commission's job? Why are we the ones doing all the grunt work?!"
A viewer named [Gambling With Cards] immediately chimed in:
"Right?! Even in-game, the Master Diviner slacks off and dumps everything on her subordinates! I bet it's worse in real life!"
"Demand an audit of the Divination Commission! Reduce overtime! More paid leave!"
The chat erupted in agreement—
Except for [Heartless Divination Machine], a top donor, who objected:
"I think the Master Diviner is actually quite admirable! Sure, she's strict, but it's to train her subordinates to become pillars of Xianzhou!"
Under their lead, other fans jumped in:
"Exactly! Lady Fu Xuan is adorable! Whatever a cute girl says is law!"
"Lady Fu Xuan is polite, respectful, and never looks down on others!"
Meanwhile, in the Game…
Fu Xuan: "You've done well. The [Omniscia Spares None] is now operational."
"Next, I'll interrogate Kafka. Those near the array's core may experience… some turbulence."
With Fu Xuan's command—
Kafka was escorted to the scene by the Cloud Knights.
"Do you really need this much security? I said I'd cooperate~" Kafka mused.
But as viewers admired Kafka's stunning appearance—
They noticed something off.
"Wait, why does Kafka have visible eyelashes now?!"
"And her coat's gone?! Is this even the real Kafka?!"
"Uh, do prisoners get to wear makeup in jail?!"
"Mommy nooo, they've mistreated you!"
"Her natural eyes look so gentle…"
"OMG KAFKA WITHOUT MAKEUP IS SO PURE?!"
This moment was paused and screenshotted by countless viewers.
Meanwhile, Outside the Shackling Prison…
A bizarrely harmonious yet chaotic scene unfolded.
And below?
Dan Heng was fighting Blade.
Welt was fighting Luocha.
The sky was lit up with dragons, flying coffins, and black flames—like gods clashing!
Silver Wolf sat casually with March 7th, Stelle, and Yanqing—
While Kafka, Jingliu, and Jing Yuan stood behind them like chaperones.
Everyone was "cheerfully" watching the Honkai: Star Rail livestream together.
Truly, everyone had a bright future…
Back to the Interrogation
Seeing Kafka's bare-faced look, March 7th couldn't help but ask:
"What brand of eyelashes do you use? They're so smooth—not even battles mess them up!"
Kafka smiled. "I'll give you my contact later. The IPC's latest beauty tech~"
Fu Xuan, unamused, began the interrogation:
"You're the one who used the [Arbor's Resonance] to manipulate minds. Your methods are too meticulous."
"I can believe many things—but I only trust the Divination Commission's results."
"The Matrix will extract the truth from you."
Kafka chuckled. "Then let's see what fate decrees."
As Fu Xuan activated the array—
A surge of energy lifted Kafka into the air.
Yet Kafka's smirk never faded.
And when the divination ended—
Fu Xuan staggered back, horrified.
She had seen something unbelievable.
([Looking for trouble? Don't blame me!])
"…How is this possible?!"
"This is the truth?!"
Kafka smiled. "Surprised?"
Fu Xuan, pale, turned to the Astral Express crew.
"Kafka… it's you people…"
"This is the reality?!"
Then, in a rare moment of hesitation—
Fu Xuan waved them off.
"You deal with her. Ask whatever you want."
"I need to report to the General immediately!"
Jing Yuan, watching nearby, let out an amused "Oh?"
Kafka, now unrestrained, turned to Stelle.
"Well, Stelle~"
"Nothing's changed, has it?"
(Sorry you have to see me like this—so undignified~)
[Options Appear]
- [Stop pretending, we both know the truth.]
- [Are you okay? Were you hurt?]
- [You look fine… not undignified at all.]
Guinaifen's Chat
Most viewers immediately spammed the second option:
"ASDFGHJKL LOOK AT HER EYES!!"
"SHE'S SO PRETTY!!"
"NO ONE CAN RESIST HER!!"
On screen, Kafka's lips curled into a faint smile.
[Are you okay? Were you hurt?]
"Worried about me? The Xianzhou treats prisoners quite well~"
"On the Express, I didn't speak to you—because I knew we'd meet here."
"So, why not save everything for now? You have so many questions~"
Kafka's tone shifted.
"Fu Xuan was shocked because she learned three things."
"One—the Stellaron Hunter isn't Xianzhou's real enemy. You already knew that, though you refused to believe it."
"Two—the real mastermind behind the Stellaron's arrival is both an insider and an outsider. Xianzhou's internal strife and external threats are being manipulated."
"But Fu Xuan only knows this much—because Elio didn't share everything."
"He feared she'd act rashly and disrupt fate."
"And three—"
Kafka's gaze sharpened.
"If the Stellaron Hunter isn't the true culprit… then why are Silver Wolf and Blade here?"
"Simple."
"They came for you."
