"Oh?"
After hearing Dan Heng's words, Ilu blinked in surprise.
She didn't expect that even such trivial details would be noticed by him. It was truly surprising. She could only conclude that Dan Heng was worthy of being the guard of the Astral Express. Not only was he concerned about the safety of his companions, but he was also very observant.
Since he had noticed the presence of Kafka and the others, there was no reason for her to hide it—after all, she didn't want to be seen as an accomplice of the Stellaron Hunters, so she needed to sever her connection with them at this point.
"Not really."
Thinking this, Ilu shook her head slightly and told the black-haired young man her previous experience.
"Before entering the main control cabin, I met two people who called themselves 'Nameless' below. They asked to travel with me for a while. Most of the dead Voidrangers you saw were defeated by us together."
"People who call themselves 'Nameless'?"
Dan Heng frowned. "What are their names?"
"One is called 'Sam.' The other is called 'Blade.' They are very skilled."
"Sam, Blade... them?"
Hearing this, Dan Heng lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He seemed to be contemplating something. After a few seconds, he finally spoke.
"There is no record of these two passengers on the Express. You should not have met another group of 'Nameless,' but other forces disguised as us."
"You mean... there are unknown forces involved in the destruction of the space station?"
"I'm not sure what their goal is, but since they left here, it means their objective is likely to have been achieved."
"In other words, their goal should not be to destroy the space station, but to target something within it?"
"Yes, I think so too. We'll know what's missing from this space station when the time comes."
After saying that, Dan Heng glanced at March 7th and the others, who were almost near Asta, and his tone returned to the calmness it had before.
"We have to wait until Uncle Yang comes back to discuss these matters. Let's go meet up with March 7th and the others first."
"Okay."
...
At the same time, in the real world—
With the help of the fans, Jiahun quickly located Ilu.
"Wow, she's so pretty!"
Controlling the Trailblazer to circle around Ilu twice, Jiahun took in every detail of the silver-haired girl in front of her and couldn't help but admire her exquisite design. The barrage in the livestream room also flooded the screen.
[She's quite small.]
[Don't be embarrassing; she is only 1.5 meters tall; this is already big.]
[Why do I feel that her clothes are a bit similar to Herta's? Is it just me?]
[Move the camera down; let me see her feet.]
[Oh my god! She's wearing white silk ice cream; I have to try it!]
[Jiahun, put the game to max graphic settings; it's a bit unclear.]
"Put the game to max graphic settings, why..."
Looking at the comment, Jiahun blinked in confusion.
When she saw her friend's reply again, she understood what was happening.
[The floor can reflect light; if you put the game to max graphic settings, maybe you can see her her underwear through the floor's reflection.]
"Uh..."
This year's netizens always manage to do something that makes people's eyes widen. Jiahun was no longer surprised by these things. She simply ignored those requests and opened the dialogue with Ilu.
"It's our first meeting. Just call me Ilu."
"March 7's friends are my friends, Stelle. I'm glad to meet you, and I believe we can get along happily in the future.
"Oh my god, her tone is so gentle! I originally thought she would be difficult to approach, but I didn't expect her to be such a soft and cute girl."
Jiahun generously praised Ilu's personality while clicking on the dialog box with the silver-haired girl with her mouse. She selected options that could increase her favorability. Soon, she obtained Ilu's contact information.
"Hey, why did the mission target change?"
It was not until then that Jiahun realized her main mission had shifted from "Finding Asta" to "Talking to Himeko." This side mission, linked by several hidden plots, was perfectly integrated into the main plot.
If one didn't pay attention, they might not notice it at all.
Additionally, there was an option in the task bar—"Ask about Ilu's life experience (optional)."
Seeing this option, Jiahun clicked it without hesitation and the fans in the livestream room had already been successfully tamed by her... Well, it may also be because they were attracted by Ilu's personality.
In short, no comments raised objections to her continuing the main plot. Everyone patiently awaited Jiahun to uncover all the hidden stories.
"I used to be a Glamoth Iron Cavalry Knight. You may not believe it, but I once killed a Propagation Emanator alone and froze the entire galaxy where it was located into ice..."
"Glamoth Iron Cavalry Knight? Propagation?"
Two new terms that she had never heard of suddenly emerged from the silver-haired girl's mouth, and Jiahun couldn't help but feel a bit confused. However, after Ilu's detailed explanation, she quickly grasped the meaning of these terms.
Glamoth was a super civilization that had long been destroyed, and "Propagation" referred to a fallen Aeon. The "Universal Swarm Disaster" he brought had inflicted indelible trauma on this universe.
The silver-haired girl in front of her was the ultimate weapon created by the Glamoth Empire to kill a "Propagation" Emanator, known as the "Glamoth Iron Cavalry."
However, as Ilu narrated her story, the viewers gradually began to realize something was amiss.
[???]
[This combat power doesn't add up?]
[If a Glamoth Iron Cavalry Knivht can kill an Emanator alone, wouldn't the Glamoth Empire be able to dominate the universe?]
"Hearing what you said, I feel something isn't right..."
Jiahun also felt skeptical. Although she didn't know much about the game's setting, she at least understood how powerful an Emanator was. It was a being capable of exploding star systems. Killing them was quite difficult.
If all the Glamoth Iron Cavalry joined forces to wipe out a Propagation Emanator, it would be quite reasonable.
Single-handedly killing one, however, was indeed a bit exaggerated.
If Ilu truly possessed this ability, she would be an Aeon's Emanator now.
"I don't know if it's true or not; let's continue watching..."
Picking up a cup from the side, she took a sip of water and clicked the mouse to enter the subsequent conversation.
"…"
"Unfortunately, there was only one bullet in the gun, and I didn't have enough evidence in the end."
"Ms. Herta believed that my memory was disturbed by the turbulence of time and space, causing cognitive problems. She asked me to stay in this space station for treatment for a while before leaving with the Astral Express."
"Puff!"
After seeing the last sentence, Jiahun couldn't help but widen her eyes and nearly spit out the water she had just drunk.
The chat in the livestream also exploded at this moment.
[???]
[Really funny.]
[I spent a lot of time guessing how she killed him; it turned out she had a mental problem.]
[I believed it at first, but the more I thought about it, the more it seemed off. I said, how could it be true?]
[It's so funny. If she can really kill the Propagation Emanator alone, I will livestream a handstand on a pound of red stone!]
