A purple-haired woman in a coat.
Held a katana in one hand.
Effortlessly blocking Xueyi's full-force strike.
Moreover.
A faint smile lingered on her lips.
As if she found Xueyi's actions quite amusing.
Xueyi's gaze sharpened.
Seeing those iconic purple eyes.
She immediately showed a look of suspicion.
Kafka?
Why was it her?!
This woman was all too familiar!
Her image had often appeared on Xianzhou's Wanted Posters.
Now that Honkai: Star Rail was sweeping the universe.
She could also be seen in the game every time, showcasing her methods!
Even.
In Xueyi's own account, she had specifically trained Kafka, forming a DOT team!
"The wonderful times always have an end, it's time to say goodbye~" This phrase was almost engraved into her DNA.
And now.
Before her eyes was not a character from the game.
But the Stellaron Hunter herself!
Kafka gave her blade a shake.
Xueyi's triangular spike nearly slipped from her hand!
Facing the Stellaron Hunter.
Her once proud methods of subduing and capturing seemed like child's play.
"Oh, isn't this the little judge, Xueyi?"
"I quite like you."
Kafka spoke up.
Xueyi's expression was extremely grave.
Her eyes were fixed unblinkingly on Kafka.
She was judging.
Whether this was an illusion created by the Borisin.
But neither her senses nor her intuition detected any abnormality!
The person before her.
Seemed to truly be Kafka!
The Stellaron Hunter had really appeared in The Shackling Prison!
Kafka, at this moment, was like someone teasing a child.
She pointed at the screen in front of her.
"Look, in the storyline, you died~"
Xueyi didn't pay attention to the storyline.
Instead, she questioned, "Why are you here?"
"We're here for sightseeing, believe it or not?"
Xueyi's hand trembled slightly.
[We]...!
She caught this keyword!
Which means!
The Stellaron Hunters are not just Kafka alone!
There are other accomplices!
This is bad!
Trouble!
"Look over there."
Kafka slightly tilted her chin, signaling Xueyi to look into the distance.
Xueyi cautiously turned her gaze.
"Considering we're both characters from Star Rail, I'll tell you this..."
"Hoolay is dead."
!!
What?
Xueyi saw.
On the ground in the distance.
Lay the corpse of a Borisin.
Moreover.
There were intense signs of battle all around.
The ground had even been dented from the force!
But that corpse wasn't Hoolay!
Then,
Where was Hoolay?
Xueyi turned back.
Just as she was about to ask Kafka this question.
She realized the person beside her had already silently vanished.
Leaving only a bewildered Xueyi behind.
"Sister..."
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Hanya emerged from the shadows.
Her expression was equally complicated.
Her lips twitched slightly.
Then she asked, "That person just now... was Kafka, right?"
"Yes. She told me Hoolay is dead."
"Huh?"
Hearing this news, Hanya was also stunned.
The two of them had just been watching the plot unfold.
Hoolay escaping from prison...
Xueyi being instantly defeated by Hoolay...
The Borisin war chief was terrifying...
But now.
They were hearing that Hoolay was already dead!?
The sheer contrast...
Even for the two of them, as judges.
It was hard to accept for a moment!
It felt utterly unbelievable!
Hanya kept glancing at the screen, then at the battle scars in the distance.
Feeling completely out of the loop.
Both nervous.
And at a loss.
In such a situation.
Her talkative nature kicked in.
She began muttering to herself.
"Just now... why was it Kafka?"
"Where's Hoolay...?"
"Did Kafka really take him down alone?"
"How are we supposed to handle this?"
"This is the most absurd case in the history of The Shackling Prison..."
"The Borisin have revolted!"
"Hoolay has escaped from prison!"
"We went after him."
"Then all the Borisin died."
"And Hoolay is dead too."
"Are we really supposed to report this to the higher-ups like this?"
Xueyi sighed.
She spoke up, "Let's go check that Borisin corpse first."
The two approached the body.
Though clad in Cloud Knight armor, the body had undergone severe deformation.
Unretracted mane bristled around its neck.
Through some evidence on the body.
Soon.
They confirmed the identity of this Borisin.
The antagonist in the plot, and the one who helped Hoolay escape—Mok Tok.
This cunning Borisin disguised as a Cloud Knight!
And!
He had committed suicide!
His claws had pierced his own throat.
This fact!
Once again left the two sisters gasping in shock!
"What on earth did this guy go through?"
"Someone like him... actually committed suicide?"
"Damn it, I feel like my logic module is about to overload."
Hanya pulled out her phone.
Now.
Only the plot of Honkai: Star Rail could offer some solace.
At least they could gather some information from the story.
Maybe... perhaps... they could figure out what had happened here?
She opened the livestream.
Continuing from where the plot had left off.
...
Hoolay had already escaped from prison.
The surrounding Borisin let out excited howls.....
Then.
Hoolay confronted Mok Tok, "Seven hundred years... seven hundred years have passed, why have the descendants of Dulan turned into something like you? Answer me, Mok Tok, why have you taken on the form of our most despised slaves and enemies—the foxians?"
Hanya and Xueyi's hearts stirred slightly!
This was also the thing that puzzled them the most!
Now.
It was finally about to be revealed in Star Rail!
"I have been sent here to free you from this detestable prison. This is the will of SainJiyaa (Fate). To do so, I had to consume a potion, don the skin of a lowly beast, and use this disguise to deal with their hypocrisy."
A potion?!
This word immediately made both of them think of a certain organization.
—The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
But whether it was indeed the work of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
That was still uncertain.
Hoolay then asked, "Since you have a plan to escape, tell me, what should we do next to leave this impossibly large celestial ship?"
"My brothers and I will seal the gates of this prison, suffocating the guards inside. This will buy us some temporary breathing room."
"Those brothers of mine, who are also in disguise, will prepare a vessel for your escape. According to the plan, we have a total of two hours to leave this place."
"Originally, I intended to execute the rescue plan tomorrow, but they plan to transfer you to the Xianzhou Yaoqing for imprisonment. I must seize this opportunity to free you."
Hoolay immediately cursed in anger, "A reckless plan, you fool! Even if we have a ship, our chances of escaping are far slimmer than a foxian slipping through my claws!"
"To save you, we have no other choice! The Messenger of the Eternal Lord who sent me here said that only your return can end the long-standing division among the Borisin."
"All the brothers on this mission are prepared to sacrifice themselves—as long as it means you can leave this place." At this moment.
The live chat was also analyzing the situation in real time!
...
"Hoolay is more rational than I imagined. After being tortured for seven hundred years, I thought he'd go mad once released."
"The war leader of the Borisin shouldn't just be strong in combat; he must also be the most strategic."
"The Eternal Lord refers to the Aeon of the Abundance, Plagues Author. The Borisin's faith, and the Messenger here is undoubtedly Phantylia!"
"Damn it! Phantylia is still stirring up trouble!"
"Is Phantylia planning to possess Hoolay's body?"
"Hoolay has been stabbed for 700 years and still hasn't died, which fits Phantylia's standards."
"The Preceptors of the Luofu will definitely rebel! In this storyline, the Borisin are clearly using the Preceptors' magic, not even bothering to hide it!"
"In Bailu's Companion Mission, the Preceptors tried to assassinate Bailu. Now they're colluding with external enemies. Why are these guys still around? It'd be best to eliminate them all to cut off future troubles!"
"From the previous storyline, a group of Preceptors was already dealt with. Once the evidence is confirmed in this storyline, the Luofu will definitely eradicate the Preceptors completely!"
...
