Star Iron: I, who forged my own armor by hand, ascended to the cycle of reincarnation.

Kafka seemed to have grasped something, but the tail of the truth vanished in the next second.

"I had so much more to say, but since you've already said that, I can only feel sorry for you."

Kafka gently supported Xing's back with her left hand, while pressing Xing's core towards Xing's chest with her right hand.

Accompanied by a burst of golden light, until the star core was completely submerged, Xing slowly opened her eyes.

"Kafka"

Hearing Xing call her name, Kaffa's face lit up with a satisfied smile.

"Listen to me, your mind is a complete mess right now. You don't know who you are, why you're here, or what you're supposed to do next. You feel like I'm familiar to you, but you don't know whether you should trust me."

But that's not important.

"Next, you will encounter many wonderful things, you will have companions like family, and adventures you could never have dreamed of."

"And at the end of the journey, all the mysteries that have troubled you will be solved."

"This is the future you are about to arrive at. Do you like it?"

As she finished speaking, Kavka revealed an extremely gentle smile, the kind of tenderness a mother shows when she caresses her child for the last time.

Suddenly, Silver Wolf pulled up a screen with a look of horror on his face.

"Wait, Kaffa! Look, this person!"

"Hmm?" Kafka, slightly annoyed and confused, still looked at the image sent by Silver Wolf.

The person in the picture was walking this way with several fragments in his hand. When she saw the person in the picture and the identity tag on his chest, Kafka had a look of sudden realization.

"He looks so familiar, and I feel inexplicably angry."

Xing's sudden words startled the two of them, then they both burst out laughing.

"It seems she remembers more than just me, Silver Wolf. If it were him, that would be incredibly reassuring."

Kafka gently stroked Hoshi's face. "Go with him without worry. You don't remember anything except me."

Chapter 22 The Butterfly Effect

"What should we make from the remains of this sword? Incorporate it into Himeko's molecular chainsaw? Forget it, that would be too unsightly."

That chainsaw wasn't worth it.

As they passed a control room, the door suddenly opened, revealing a mature woman, a young girl, and a teenage girl—a group of people of all ages.

Dust Calamity stared at them in astonishment, while they looked at him with mockery.

Wait, why is it a joke?

"Alphs Dust, what a strange name. Are you a staff member on this space station?"

"Or are you a thief?"

Thief? Chen Jie's expression changed slightly. What an obscure word it was, yet so fitting for the occasion.

I was trying to help you out of kindness, and you're actually trying to sabotage me? It seems you even intend to smear my reputation? Isn't that going too far?

"A thief? I went to great lengths to upgrade the space station's security, and he took a trivial, unimportant artifact that I collected out of a momentary interest as payment? That seems plausible."

"But you, Star Core Hunter, Kafka, and Silver Wolf, are all individuals with huge bounties, and you're accompanied by an unconscious girl, seemingly with something in mind."

"If anyone is evil, who can compare to you?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Jie immediately launched a counterattack. However, this counterattack seemed to have no effect whatsoever, instead causing the expressions of the two to become even more mocking.

It even gave off a meaningful and eerie smile.

What does it mean?

Kafka gently placed the unconscious girl, who had been leaning on her shoulder, onto the ground.

"We mean no harm, so you don't need to worry. Besides, if we really wanted to take action, as a clerk, you probably wouldn't have the absolute power to resist us, would you?"

As she spoke, Kafka stood up, that meaningful smile still lingering, and it was this inexplicable smile that gave Chen Jie an uneasy feeling.

"I'm entrusting this child to you. I don't think you'll refuse, will you?"

"Silver Wolf, let's go."

Before Dust Tribulation could react, Silver Wolf happily used Ether to edit something, and then the two of them turned into data and disappeared.

At this moment, Chen Jie had a feeling that the two of them seemed to know him.

Was it through fireflies? But he shouldn't have had any lingering feelings for fireflies, except for that necklace.

You can't exactly draw it, can you?

In that instant, Chen Jie seemed to have found the answer to the problem, and rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"It was my oversight; I really didn't anticipate this possibility."

Was Kaffa's last sentence implying that I shouldn't use too much power? After all, she's just a "clerk."

Dust seemed to understand the other party's intentions. He looked at Xing lying on the ground with a complicated expression, then turned and left without looking back, continuing towards his laboratory.

Yes, he turned and left because he sensed that March 7th and Danheng were not far behind him.

Soon, March 7th hurriedly ran ahead.

"Danheng, hurry up! Chenjie is our only friend on the space station. He can't get into trouble. We're counting on him to upgrade our camera!"

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng, who was running, looked on with helplessness. Perhaps the last sentence was the key point?

"As a Dust Raider task force member who upgrades the defense system, his lab is probably the safest place on this space station. March, your thoughts are superfluous."

"Ah? Ah, is that so?"

March 7th stopped and turned around to look at Danheng embarrassedly. Danheng always felt utterly exhausted whenever he saw that awkward smile and head-scratching expression.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Danheng, look, isn't there someone lying down there?!"

Following the direction March 7th pointed, Dan Heng's eyes narrowed. Just as March 7th had said, there was indeed a person lying there, seemingly unconscious.

The surrounding environment suggests that the defense system may have misfired? Did a phantom attack the defense system's firearms?

"Hehe, we're quite useful too, okay? What if we get fake soldiers here while the defense system is on cooldown?"

Upon hearing this, Danheng, unusually, nodded in agreement with March 7th, saying, "Saving lives is the priority."

"Mr. Chenjie's laboratory has beds, and it's very close to here. Let's take him there first."

Supported by the two, Xing walked towards Chen Jie's laboratory. After taking only a few steps, Xing slowly opened his eyes.

For some reason, when Xing opened her eyes, she saw a baseball bat and immediately reached out to grab it, causing San Yueqi and Dan Heng, who were supporting her, to also move forward.

"Hey! You're awake, don't move around too much. Let's take you to a safe place first!"

Compared to March 7th's persuasion, Danheng quickly saw through Xing's intentions, immediately let go of Xing, and swiftly picked up the baseball bat.

"Let's go see Mr. Chen Jie first."

"Dust and Tribulation?"

The group continued walking, while Dan Heng looked thoughtful.

This person's attire doesn't resemble that of a space station crew member. Miss Estella mentioned when introducing him to us that Mr. Dustfall rarely leaves the laboratory.

How did she come to know Mr. Chenjie through those familiar whispers?

Dan Heng vaguely sensed something strange about this, but the person was very weak at the moment, so it wouldn't hurt to ask him about it when they got to the Dust Tribulation Laboratory.

However, the next second, Dan Heng was stunned.

Xing's eyes seemed to sparkle after she got the baseball bat, and she walked right up to the two of them, swinging the bat around.

"Rules are meant to be broken!"

March 7th looked at Xing in surprise, gently nudged Danheng with her elbow, and then slowly placed her left hand to her lips as if to whisper something.

"Danheng, she doesn't seem as weak as she appeared just now, does she?"

Dan Heng nodded slowly. "You seem to be quite lucid now and don't need our help."

Xing snapped out of her daze, scratching her head in confusion.

"Where am I? And who are you?"

March 7th and Danheng: ? ? ?

At that moment, March 7th's eyes widened. "Have you lost your memory?"

"Danheng, it seems we still have to take her to Chenjie. It's too dangerous to leave her to run wild on her own, isn't it?"

Danheng looked at March 7 helplessly. "Why do you like being a good person so much? She said she had amnesia, but did she really have it? Or is she just pretending?"

It must be said that the appearance and actions of the Dust Tribulation have changed many things in subtle ways.

Dust Calamity, witnessing this scene in his office, fell silent. This was different from what he remembered, and all of this was merely a relatively powerful defense system he had built for the space station. The butterfly effect seemed rather absurd.

"Danheng! Stop looking at us like that! We'll get angry too!" March 7th, unable to bear it any longer, became annoyed, her expression extremely dissatisfied.

I'm tired, I don't want to say anything more.

"Since you've lost your memory, come with us to join Chen Jie. Perhaps he has a way to make the elimination of the Void Soldiers move faster."

Xing nodded subconsciously, then smiled sheepishly.

"Thank you"

Chapter 23 Snow Mastiff Armor

Dong dong dong

"Dust Calamity, Dust Calamity, open the door quickly, we're here to protect you!"

After saying that, March 7th stood there with his hands on his hips, looking smug, while Du Xing seemed lost in thought, and Dan Heng appeared somewhat numb.

The door opened automatically, and the voice of Dust Tribulation could be heard.

"Come in, this section is very safe, there isn't a single pawn here."

"Oh? Danheng, have we been found out?"
