Chapter 8: Old Yang: Is Honkai Still Chasing ?
“Hurry, hurry! Strear, push the story forward!”
“I need to see if this ga is really mirroring reality!”
“Could this actually be the perspective of the Stellaron Hunters back then?”
Gui Naifen licked her lips.
If this ga 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 mber watching the stream suddenly blurted out a curse.
Before, there had only been hints.
But now—
With Silver Wolf’s appearance and her direct ntion of the Stellaron…
It was basically confird!
This ga was an exact depiction of what had actually happened on the space station just days ago!
And yet—
So daring ga developer had the audacity to turn it into a video ga!
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 soone 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 mber frantically tried to explain.
“I was reacting to this ga!”
“You dare play gas during my eting?!”
“Ah! No, I—uh, wait—!”
Five Minutes Later
The staff mber finally managed to explain everything he had seen in the mobile ga.
The leader adjusted his glasses, deciding not to reprimand him for slacking off during the eting 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 ga was truly mirroring real events, then sothing big was happening.
It ant 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 cri?!
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 ga imdiately.
“How did this ga even get approved for the market? And why is it allowed to be stread publicly?!”
At that mont, everyone in the conference room put aside their work—
And focused entirely on the livestream.
Aboard the Astral Express
Old Yang (Welt) and Hiko were both playing the ga, slowly progressing through the story.
Though they already had a vague feeling that the ga’s plot was closely mirroring real-life events,
As veteran Trailblazers, they remained calm and composed.
However—
The mont 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 Hiko had prepared for him.
But the mont he took a sip—
A sudden, violently bitter taste made him spit it out instantly!
“PFFT—!!!”
Hiko: “???”
“Is my coffee really that bad?!”
Hiko was a thoughtful person, though.
She had noticed the mont Silver Wolf appeared, Walter’s expression turned as if he had just seen a ghost.
Clearly, sothing 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 ti he had been so shaken.
The reasons?
The ga 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 montarily believe that Honkai was still chasing him down.
Hiko smiled reassuringly and said,
“The galaxy is vast. It’s only natural to co across familiar faces.”
“But don’t worry—these are completely new personas.”
“Their fates may be similar, but they’re not the sa 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 teor—
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 ga? What is this?!”
“This ga is insane! They gave us such a high-quality character for FREE?!”
“If this is real, I could play this for a hundred years!”
