"Ahem! Wait a minute, I think I spilled some water..."
Setting the cup back on the corner of the table, Jiahun took out a tissue to wipe the screen and then picked up the mouse to continue clicking through the conversation.
"Well... anyway, don't worry; there might be a reversal later."
As she navigated the plot, she expressed her guess.
"I feel that things are not that simple; otherwise, the game wouldn't have created this kind of plot for us to watch. There's a question I've never figured out."
"The other Glamoth Iron Cavalry have all disappeared. Why is Ilu still alive?"
"You know, even the 'Propagation' Aeon is dead, but she—a warrior born to fight against 'Propagation'—can live to this day. Doesn't this mean that Ilu is the final winner of that war?"
"Old soldiers never die; they just fade away. I think Ilu may possess a power equal to that of a Emanator, which is the main reason she has survived until now."
"After being frozen in ice for hundreds or thousands of years, she was still able to wake up normally. If you think about it carefully, isn't this a major plot hole? Who else can do it except March 7th?"
[Fuck! Silly Jiahun, you hit the nail on the head.]
[That's the truth. For people from Ilu's era, living to this day is the biggest buggy ability. I'm willing to believe what she said.]
After hearing her analysis, the comments in the livestream room began to discuss this point. Some viewers agreed with Jiahun's analysis, while others remained skeptical.
Of course, Jiahun didn't have time to pay attention to the comments in the upper left corner. At that moment, her focus was solely on the conversation in the game.
Soon, Jiahun finished the plot related to Ilu.
Just as she was controlling the Trailblazer to leave, the silver-haired girl with eyes as beautiful as fireflies suddenly grabbed her clothes and looked at her pitifully. One sentence detonated Jiahun's livestream chat.
"Trailblazer, are you willing to believe what I said?"
After hearing this sentence spoken softly by the girl, the comments in the livestream room erupted.
[I believe it!]
[I'm convinced! Now I have to believe it.]
[Although I still don't quite believe it, at this moment, I'm willing to deceive myself.]
Despite more than half of the fans stating they did not believe that Ilu had killed the Emanator, upon seeing this option, they still agreed to let Jiahun choose the former—believe what Ilu said.
"Thank you; you are the only one who is willing to believe me."
..
"If I had chosen the second option, I think I wouldn't sleep well tonight."
In fact, regardless of what the comments said in the end, Jiahun would choose the first option because she didn't want to be the sinner who made the silver-haired girl sad.
After finishing the conversation with Ilu, she controlled the protagonist to return to Himeko's side to continue the main quest, while the discussion about this new character in the livestream continued.
[Did you take a screenshot? I took a screenshot, hehe. I used it as wallpaper~]
[Do you think Ilu doesn't have any feelings for her hometown? When she mentioned that Glamoth had been destroyed, she even laughed.]
[Yes, this is very strange. Isn't that her home?]
[Maybe she was freed from the shackles. That place sounds suffocating. If I could be free, I definitely wouldn't want to go back.]
[What is Ilu talking about with Dan Heng? Jiahun, do you want to go over and take a look?]
"By the way, have we made Asta wait too long?"
Looking at Asta standing alone in the distance, then back at the silver-haired girl who seemed to be communicating with Dan Heng, Jiahun felt a little reluctant.
"Let's go to the main plot."
They had spent too much time on the side story; even the audience in the livestream room had forgotten why they came to the main control cabin.
She felt that if they didn't progress quickly, Asta might cry...
...
"The frequency of the projection radar is normal, but the frequency of the telemetry signal is high, so it must be maintained at an average level! According to predictions, the Legion will launch more than ten waves of continuous attacks. Hold on!"
At the same time, the Express Crew approached Asta, who was monitoring the movements of the antimatter legion in the control room. March 7 smiled and extended her hand in greeting.
"Stationmaster Asta, we're back!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Asta was slightly stunned and looked back. After noticing the Express Crew standing behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh, I'm glad you're back safely..."
"Arlan just came here and told me about the containment section."
"And his injury—thanks to your help."
"Hehe, no, no~ It's just a piece of cake."
After a conversation with Asta, Ilu and the others quickly learned about the current situation of the space station.
"Arlan has just been here, and he told me about the containment section."
"And his injury—thanks to your help."
"Hehe, no, no~ It's just a piece of cake."
After discussing with Asta, Ilu and the others learned that due to the massive invasion of the antimatter army, the entire space station was currently in a panic. Fortunately, the situation was still under control; the security system had been slightly damaged, but the core data modified by the invaders was quickly repaired.
As for the Herta...
Just half an hour before the space station was attacked, she disappeared.
No one knew what the great scientist was doing now. All Asta, the acting station chief, could do was keep sending messages to Herta to report the dangers currently facing the space station.
"By the way!"
Suddenly, Asta remembered something and asked eagerly:
"The staff just mentioned that there's a silver mecha that seems to be helping to fight the invading antimatter army. The reason we can calm the chaos in the space station so quickly is thanks to that person's help. Did you see him when you came here?"
"Uh..."
Hearing Asta's question, the expressions on the faces of the Express Crew suddenly became strange, and they all turned to the silver-haired girl standing behind March 7.
"Look... why are you looking at me?"
It was the first time so many people were watching her, and their gazes felt somewhat uncomfortable. Ilu couldn't help but shift slightly.
"Stationmaster Asta, you should know the reason why the Astra Express stopped at the Herta space station this time, right?" Himeko said with a smile.
"Well, of course I remember. You came here to transport a certain 'Curios' to Ms. Herta for identification."
Upon hearing Himeko's words, Asta quickly realized something. She widened her eyes and looked at the silver-haired girl beside her in disbelief.
"Wait a minute, do you mean..."
"Just as you thought, the 'Curios' we transported this time is the silver mecha, and Miss Ilu in front of you is actually the driver of the silver mecha."
"Pah—!"
As Himeko finished speaking, March 7th also clapped and spoke.
"Little Ilu has done a great job~"
Ilu: "..."
Forget it. Don't think about it. Now all the players probably know her.
