Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 88 The Unbound

The celestial vessel "Luofu" returns to Star Harbor.

After obtaining information about Kafka from Yu Kong, the group began to search for Kafka's whereabouts with the help of "Di Ting," a magical creation borrowed from Gongzao Si by Ting Yun.

Relying on their exceptionally keen sense of smell, they followed the scent and guidance left behind by Kafka and arrived at Starport.

"Wang Wang!"

Upon arriving here, Di Ting kept twitching its nose, as if trying to catch a trace of something unusual in the air.

However, no matter how hard it tried, it could never find that aura; it seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"Waaah..."

Having failed to detect Kafka's presence, Di Ting appeared somewhat frustrated.

Its head was lowered, its ears drooped slightly, and its face showed a sense of loss.

"Hmm? The aura just... disappeared here?"

Seeing Di Ting's appearance, Ting Yun, who was searching for Kafka with Lin Qiong and the others, frowned slightly.

Her gaze wandered across the empty space, trying to find a clue nearby.

Apart from the occasional sounds coming from the starship manufacturing device, there was nothing else unusual here.

Seeing this, Lin Qiong knew that this was a carefully planned part of Kaffa's scheme.

She went to such great lengths to lure everyone here, precisely so that they could be captured at the predetermined time.

Therefore, instead of searching for her in the Star Harbor, it's better to let her show herself.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiong took a deep breath and then shouted, "Kafka! Stop hiding, we know you're here!"

His voice echoed over Xinggang, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Lin Qiong's sudden action attracted the attention of others, who all cast puzzled glances at him, seemingly not understanding why he would do such a thing.

"Oh dear, he's a 'Star Core Hunter' with a bounty of billions, how could he just reveal himself like that..."

Upon seeing this, March 7th couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

However, before she could finish speaking, a strange sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"Clang, clang, clang."

The sound of boots stomping on the iron plate was incessant, each step like a unique melody.

"Don't be in such a hurry, there's still some time before the opening ceremony."

Kafka peeked out from the edge of the container above the crowd, smiling as she looked down.

Her gentle gaze swept over everyone below, and finally, her eyes settled on Xing.

Hi, we meet again.

Kafka greeted Xing in the crowd, her gentle voice carrying a subtle hint of warmth.

"Kafka!!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone present exclaimed in surprise.

Walter Young looked at Kafka with wary eyes.

He took a step forward, raised his cane to his waist, and steadily shielded everyone behind him.

"No way, it's really out!"

March 7th covered his mouth with both hands in surprise, his eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief.

She really didn't expect that Lin Qiong's shout just now would actually bring Kafka out.

"Kafka! I..."

When Xing saw Kafka, she became unusually excited, as if she had countless questions deep in her heart that she wanted to find answers to.

Before she could even speak, Kafka shook her head and gestured for her to be quiet.

"Shh... now is not the time."

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Xing revealed a deeper meaning, as if to tell Xing that some secrets need to be revealed at the right time.

Then, Kafka raised her hand and pointed in a direction.

"This doesn't seem like a suitable place to talk. Let's go up ahead."

After saying that, Kafka leaped onto another container not far away.

After several jumps, the containers rattled under her feet, and she quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"We've searched for so long, we can't let her get away! Let's chase after her!"

Seeing this, March 7th shouted anxiously and then chased after Kafka in the direction she had left.

Seeing this, everyone else followed suit.

After a period of pursuit, the group finally caught up with Kafka in an open area.

At this moment, she was standing quietly in the center of the venue, waiting for Lin Qiong and his group to arrive.

"Welcome, fellow train crew members, you've got me!"

When Lin Qiong and the others finally arrived in front of Kafka, she gracefully raised her hands and gently clapped her hands.

The crisp applause echoed across the open space, as if expressing heartfelt recognition of their relentless pursuit.

"Now, the stage of destiny is about to be set!"

As she spoke, Kafka quietly moved her hands behind her back, instantly revealing two MAC-10 submachine guns from their concealed position.

The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Lin Qiong and the others.

Seeing this, Lin Qiong immediately took out the dual-gun form of the Heavenly Fire Judgment and pointed its blazing muzzle at Kafka.

"Oh? It seems that you, no longer bound by Elio's script, have also undergone a significant transformation."

When she saw Lin Qiong pull out two uniquely shaped pistols, a look of surprise flashed across Kafka's eyes.

"Not bound by the script? What does that mean?"

Lin Qiong was completely confused by Kaffa's words. He frowned and looked at Kaffa, trying to get an answer to his question from her.

However, when Lin Qiong asked her, Kafka simply shook her head slightly, a mysterious smile on her face.

"It seems like it's about time."

As she spoke, Kafka, under the shocked gazes of everyone, quickly raised her gun and pulled the trigger towards the space above her head.

"Bang bang bang-"

The muzzles of the two Uzi submachine guns emitted a dazzling light, and bullets rained down in an instant.

Just then, a clear, melodious, and majestic voice suddenly rang out from the sky.

"Hmph, a mere trick!"

As the words fell, a pink figure darted and weaved in mid-air, gracefully dodging every whistling bullet.

At the same time, she skillfully manipulated the fast-flying bullets with her slender fingers, altering their original trajectories.

“Your every move is within the comprehension of the Dharma Eye!”

When the pink figure landed lightly on the ground, the bullets she had manipulated seemed to be imbued with a magnetic force.

They all crashed into other bullets that were still in flight.

The bullets instantly clashed in the air, creating a complex web of bullets, each collision accompanied by a burst of intense sparks.

Like fireworks, it bursts forth with dazzling light.

"I am Fu Xuan, the Grand Diviner of the Grand Divination Bureau. From now on, the criminals will be under my jurisdiction."

Upon hearing this, Kafka wisely threw her submachine gun aside, raised her hands high, and adopted a gesture of surrender.

But at this moment, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a subtle smile.

"The show is about to begin..."
