Dreamflux Reef.
On the rooftop.
Gallagher was sipping beer while gazing at the massive moon in the sky.
Of course.
In this exile zone, there was no true "moon" in the literal sense.
What he considered the moon was actually the massive memory accretion disk in the sky.
Gallagher was in a good mood.
He didn't have to die...
As long as he could keep living, there were more possibilities.
Of course.
The immediate priority was still to help the Astral Express Crew uncover the truth about Penacony.
Just as Gallagher was pondering his next move.
On the street below.
A group of young people suddenly appeared.
These young people looked both excited and curious, examining everything around them.
"Guests who accidentally wandered into Dreamflux Reef..."
Gallagher had seen many such people.
At first, they were all in a dazed state, and some even thought they had arrived in the afterlife.
But this was the first time he'd seen people so excited.
Gallagher didn't pay much attention.
But then.
Another pair of guests appeared on the street.
Followed by.
A third group...
A fourth...
"You're also here for the first time in this exile zone? What a coincidence, so am I!"
"What a coincidence indeed!"
"Brothers, let's be friends!"
"Hehe, we tried it right after watching the storyline, and sure enough, we made it here!"
"Just didn't dare open our eyes, so we didn't get a clear look at Something Unto Death!"
"Fun, fun!"
"So damn thrilling!"
"Honkai: Star Rail, activate!"
More and more people kept popping up!
It was like a supermarket sale!
Gallagher was stunned.
Normally.
Occasionally, some guests would wander into Dreamflux Reef, which was nothing unusual.
But!
This time, so many people came at once!
What is this, a stock exchange?
What's going on!
At that moment.
A black vortex appeared beside Gallagher.
Something Unto Death emerged from it.
Upon seeing Gallagher.
It immediately let out a pitiful whimper.
"Wuwu..."
Gallagher smiled faintly.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm? Were you bullied?"
"You're saying all these people below were brought here by you?"
"..."
Gallagher lightly tapped his forehead.
He instantly understood.
A wry smile appeared on his face.
"Uh..."
"I think I roughly know what's going on."
"After not watching the Honkai: Star Rail storyline for a while, the method to enter Dreamflux Reef was directly exposed."Now this place is going to become an internet-famous check-in spot."
Gallagher patted Something Unto Death.
"Alright, alright. For now, you should stay deep in the Memory Zone and avoid coming out. Try to keep a low profile and stay away from people."
"Once this part of the story is over, things should settle down."
Gallagher said as he spoke.
He pulled out his phone.
Opened the live stream.
To check how far the current plot had progressed.
...
Little Gui's live stream.
After learning part of the truth about the Memory Zone Meme, Something Unto Death.
Guinaifen also felt an impulse to try and see if she could really summon Something Unto Death...
Fortunately.
Little Gui's best quality was her professionalism.
After a brief adjustment.
She continued to immerse herself in the story.
[Until ripples of memories stirred in the silent darkness...]
The expected scene of the land of exile did not appear.
Instead, there was a flashback.
"I never knew you could do something like this."
Firefly's voice rang out.
The scene that unfolded immediately stunned Guinaifen!
There, in a red sports car.
Firefly sat in the passenger seat.
Her face tinged with worry as she looked out the window.
And the driver in the seat next to her was none other than... Blade!
At this moment, both Firefly and Blade were dressed in sharp suits.
Especially Blade.
His crisp suit paired with a bright red tie.
His hands firmly on the steering wheel.
Focused intently on driving.
This scene.
Shocked everyone in the live stream!
...
"What the hell?"
"What... kind of vibe is this?"
"What's going on?"
"Why did Blade suddenly show up?"
"Out of nowhere, he's so handsome..."
"Outside the car, the night is dazzling with lights~"
"Wait, the driver is Blade?"
"Damn it! He can actually sit here quietly and drive? That's so out of character for him!"
...
Firefly continued to ask, "Do you have a driver's license?"
"Yes," Blade replied coldly.
"That's... quite surprising."
"Why, because this is the sinful city of Jepella?"
"Well, no... never mind."
Firefly said helplessly, "I just think, you haven't slept for twenty system hours... are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I won't die. Neither will you."
"I might not be so lucky. Let's drive slower."
"The infiltration is over. You can activate Sam anytime."
"There's still some time before the next scene in the script. Let me stay a bit longer, in this body."
Guinaifen suddenly had a look of realization...
"So this is what happened before the events on Jepella Star!"
"Remember, everyone?"
"This is what happened in that PV where Kafka was on trial... the scene where the Stellaron Hunters made their grand entrance!"
"And this is the experience before that cool appearance."
...
"I can't help but laugh seeing them sitting together!"
"Can a Xianzhou driver's license really be used here?"
"Firefly: You won't die, but I might not be so lucky."
"Is the mark on Firefly's face a sign that she's ready to activate Sam at any moment?"
"Who knew Blade could be so docile in private..."
"Law-abiding Stellaron Hunters, both wearing seatbelts!"
"Watching this makes me feel like I'm about to have a Mara episode!"
"When will this outfit be implemented in the game?"
...
[Then followed a long silence. The two no longer brought up any topics, seemingly accustomed to this silence.]
[Until much later, a soft sigh was heard in the car again.]
Firefly spoke up once more, "This tunnel is so long. When we set off, it didn't feel this lengthy."
"Half a system hour later, it will lead us to Kafka, and then the downfall of the Jepella Brotherhood."
"Is this all part of the script?"
"It's in your script too," Blade replied indifferently.
"Sorry, I didn't notice."
"Even if you choose to ignore it, their fate won't change."
Hearing this.
Firefly sighed.
Blade added, "I told you, it's a bad habit."
"What about you? This time, can you get the death you desire?"
"As always, it's a blank. It's not on this planet. Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Because I'm in a car with a fatigued driver... I hope it can reach its destination safely."
Blade fell silent for a moment.
Finally, he couldn't help but say, "This car has autopilot, I'm just resting my hands on the steering wheel, okay?"
"Just kidding," Firefly said with a laugh.
...
"Firefly's survival instinct is maxed out."
"Blade: I'm just kidding too, I don't have a license, and this car doesn't have autopilot."
"Firefly is so adorable, hahaha..."
"Can you imagine her transforming into a tall and mighty mech later, and then saying to Kafka: You need to stop playing with your prey, Kafka."
"Firefly: Kidding? I'm ready to transform and jump out of the car at any moment!"
"Your Uncle Blade has driven Aurumatons, driving a car is a piece of cake, right?"
"When he's not suffering from Mara, Blade is actually quite gentle."
"This is the true value of the Stellaron Hunters family!"
"I want to join the Stellaron Hunters!"
