The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Black Tower Space Station.

The Legion of Destruction suddenly attacked here. The roar of the Legion monsters, the explosion of artillery fire in the space station, and the piercing alarm sounded together, playing this noisy and melody-less movement.

"Silver Wolf, hurry up, we don't have much time to waste."

The purple-haired woman in leather clothes and holding a submachine gun dealt with the Legion soldiers in front of her, yawned lightly, and her beautiful purple eyes drooped, glancing at the top of the head of the girl who was traveling with her.

The girl was petite, with long silver-gray hair combed into a ponytail, spiraling downward, and the corners of the hairband curled up like a pair of wolf ears.

She seemed to have a real body, but if you look closely, you will find that being here is just an extremely real virtual projection.

"I don't think you have the right to say that to me. You are the slowest one."

Silver Wolf's delicate face darkened slightly, and he looked up and stared at his companion: "Also, your eyes are really annoying - is being tall so great?"

"Of course not, but having a comparable companion by your side always makes people feel happy, doesn't it?"

Kafka smiled and raised her hand to touch Silver Wolf's hair: "Okay, okay, no more jokes. Although the Legion came suddenly, with the strength of the space station, it will react quickly. Let's get down to business first."

She raised her eyes and looked at the silver-white metal wall in front of her: "Genius Club The 83rd member, the owner of the space station, Black Tower. I'm really curious about what's in her collection room. Will there be the most popular coat in the universe now? "

"You can ask her about this kind of boring thing yourself, maybe she will answer?"

Silver Wolf stretched out his palm and pressed it on the silver-white wall, as if sensing something: "Found it, worthy of being a genius of the Genius Club, the hiding system of the collection room is really hard to figure out."

She let go of her hand, and the silver-white metal wall rippled like the surface of the water, as if the material was reorganized, and its edges turned into triangular transparent fragments, and extended rapidly to the center.

In just two or three seconds, the original wall disappeared, revealing the passage hidden behind it.

"Well done, but your praise just now was actually a provocation, right?"

Kafka walked into the passage gracefully with her hands behind her back.

What "worthy of being a genius of the Genius Club", saying this after easily opening the other party's collection room, how can it be a compliment?

"Huh~"

Silver Wolf raised his chin slightly and snorted, which was considered to be an approval of Kafka's guess.

It's so hard to meet a "genius", how can I not say hello?

She deliberately fell behind, took out the spray can, and left her own [Hacker Challenge] on the wall of the passage leading to the collection room - a Q version of Silver Wolf's bust.

Blowing colorful gum bubbles, she gave the person in front of her a thumbs up, but the thumb was facing down.

Silver Wolf nodded with satisfaction and threw away the spray can.

Not only here, she also left traces in many places in the space station, as a surprise for the lady in the black tower.

I hope she doesn't refuse the challenge, it would be too boring.

"Ah, I found you."

Kafka stopped and looked at the collection that was tightly bound in the independent collection room - a star core. There was undisguised amazement in her purple eyes: "You can actually use such a clever method to restrain the cancer of the universe (star core). You are worthy of being watched by the genius of Boshizun."

Silver Wolf folded his arms: "Independent protection system... It seems that for Black Tower, the star core is not an ordinary collection."

"Get it out?"

"Of course, in the field of hackers, even the genius Black Tower is not my opponent."

"Okay, I'll leave the preparation of the carrier to you~"

Kafka spoke softly, watching Silver Wolf busy on the side. The calm here formed a sharp contrast with the chaos outside, making her want to play a violin piece at this time.

However, this requires asking the opinions of companions. This is polite and proper etiquette.

Kafka has always been very concerned about these things.

"Do you need a piece of music?"

"No, thank you."

Silver Wolf's refusal was also very polite. While cracking the protection system, he asked casually: "Have you thought of your new name? Elio said that the name 'Kafka' is likely to bring you unexpected changes."

"I haven't thought of it yet." Kafka shook her head and sighed helplessly: "If I can, I don't want to give up my name at all... Silver Wolf, what do you think Elio foresaw?"

"Who knows, anyway, Elio's suggestions have never been wrong." The hacker girl obviously didn't care about these.

"Unexpected change, because of the name 'Kafka'."

Kafka's red lips curled up slightly: "I'm very curious, what exactly is this change, which can make Elio keep silent, it must be very interesting and exciting."

"I don't recommend you to do this, but if you insist, I won't stop you. So do you want to keep a backup in advance? In this way, even if an accident really happens, there is a possibility of remedy."

"Life is beautiful because of its fragility, and I want to face this accident directly."

"It's up to you, just don't be embarrassed to ask me for help when the time comes."

Silver Wolf shrugged, tapped his fingers, and completed the last step: "Open it, take down the star core."

Kafka smiled softly, took a step forward, and was about to take down the star core, but suddenly her face changed, and she and Silver Wolf turned around quickly to look behind them.

At the door of the independent collection room, an old man appeared at some point. He smiled kindly, holding a snake staff, and looked at Kafka with a hint of surprise.

"It's really so similar... This universe is really amazing."

When did he appear? They didn't notice it at all.

Kafka narrowed her eyes slightly, her alertness was at its highest, but she didn't show hostility immediately - facing such a mysterious existence, rash action was the worst choice.

She glanced at Silver Wolf, and saw that the other party shook his head slightly with a serious expression, and she knew that even a hacker like Silver Wolf didn't have the information of the old man in front of him in the database.

"Old man, may I ask who you are?"

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, so rude."

The old man smiled apologetically, tapped the ground with the snake staff in his hand, and the unique fluctuations of the Holy Spirit were revealed undisguisedly, instantly covering the entire Black Tower Space Station.

He said in a gentle voice: "Holy Spirit Empire, High Priest."

The legion monsters that were raging everywhere suddenly froze, and then evacuated from the space station in the stunned eyes of everyone, just like the way wild beasts fled in panic when they encountered something they feared.

If someone could sneak into the internal communication channel of the monsters in the legion at this moment, they would find that they were all conveying the same message: the Holy Spirit Madman is here, and the legion members should evacuate as soon as possible!

Holy Spirit Empire! ?

The Madman Empire that caused a violent turmoil in the entire universe as soon as it appeared? !

The Madman Kingdom with all the envoys and two Star Gods? !

The corners of Kafka and Silver Wolf's eyes twitched at the same time, and they recognized the special fluctuations of the Madman Empire on the old man, and immediately realized that this was the most dangerous moment of their operation.

Why didn't Elio foresee this situation!

Kafka temporarily suppressed her doubts and stared at the high priest, with thoughts surging in her mind.

It is definitely impossible to beat him. Even if you can beat the old man in front of you, you can't beat the Star God behind him-every Holy Spirit person has the ability to call the Star God unreasonably.

The difference is that some Holy Spirit people can only call when they are seriously injured, while others can communicate with their Star God at any time.

Since the man in front of him is the high priest, he might even be able to call on his gods to help him fight the enemy.

——It's just like cheating.

"Are you here for this star core too?"

Kafka thought of the most likely guess and gave up the star core behind him: "If so, you can take it, we won't stop you."

There are many star cores in the universe. If you miss this one, there is another one. If the Holy Spirit group of lunatics hold a grudge against them, then the star core hunters will never have peace.

Who knows why these lunatics are more like patrol hunters than the Immortal Boat Alliance and the Patrol Rangers!

"No, I'm here for you."

The high priest shook his head, his eyes gentle: "Your name is Kafka, right?"

Come for me...name...Kafka's eyes twitched. Could this be the unexpected change that Elio said?

But why is it the Holy Spirit Empire?

"I am Kafka."

Kafka did not deny it, and her eyes were alert but also a little curious: "Why did the high priest look for me?"

"My god awakened me and my dead hometown together. To celebrate this reunion, I want to prepare a gift for Him."

The high priest said softly: "For this, I have thought about it for a long time and asked many people."

Until I accidentally heard a name, Kafka.

The god mentioned the name when he was in Teyvat, and even knew the appearance of this "Kafka", the weapons he used, and other detailed characteristics.

This must be someone the god cares about-the high priest is convinced of this.

So he began to look for and collect information about "Kafka" throughout the universe. Unexpectedly, this information appeared unexpectedly easily.

Kafka, a member of the Star Core Hunter, a wanted criminal with a high reward from the company and the Immortal Boat.

"You want to use me as a gift and sacrifice me to your god?"

Kafka's face turned cold, and he looked at Silver Wolf calmly, ready to fight and retreat.

As for leaving with the high priest and becoming a sacrifice to the Star God... she had no interest in it at all.

"It's a gift, not a sacrifice."

The high priest corrected her statement and said solemnly: "The Lord God never accepts bloody human sacrifices. From the beginning, He believed from the bottom of his heart that this kind of sacrifice is barbaric, feudal and backward."

Kafka didn't bother to pay attention to the words of the crazy priest. She saw the opportunity and countless purple silk threads appeared out of thin air, like sharp blades and spider silk to bind the high priest!

At the same time, Silver Wolf danced quickly with his hands and opened the jump channel to the outside world in an instant.

"Boom."

The high priest looked calm and tapped the floor with his snake staff.

The next moment, space and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The purple spider silk, the jump channel like a torrent of data, and Kafka and Silver Wolf were like insects sealed in amber, unable to move.

The high priest tapped the floor with his snake staff again, and space and time returned to normal, except that Kafka and Silver Wolf had disappeared.

He was about to leave, but he caught a glimpse of something that did not belong to the collection room.

"Huh? This is... an unformed shell?"

The high priest became interested, his eyes moved between the star core and the shell, and he suddenly understood.

"So that's it, is this what you want to do?"

He turned his head to look to the side, and Silver Wolf's figure emerged from the air: "Using virtuality to control reality, it's an interesting ability."

"What did you do?"

Silver Wolf stared at him. She didn't notice anything just now, but the original projection had broken the link with her. When the link was restored, Kafka had disappeared.

"It's just a little trick."

The little tricks of time and space, the little tricks that once annoyed Lord Kami, he had studied for hundreds of thousands of years with the help of Lord Kami, and now he finally mastered them completely with the gift of God.

The high priest raised his hand, and the suspended star core was taken into his hand: "You want to use the star core to awaken the consciousness of this existence, right?"

Silver Wolf looked at him nervously and said nothing.

"Relax, little girl, we are not enemies yet."

The high priest smiled and was about to say something, but his expression suddenly changed slightly, and his old eyes were full of piety.

"Lord God, are you calling me?"

"High Priest, what is around you has caused a violent disturbance in destiny."

Chen Tianfeng's voice rang out from the heart of the high priest, "Open up your horizons and let me take a look too."

"I obey your will, Lord Kami."

The high priest closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his left eye turned into a pale snake pupil.

The sight of God falls here.

Although it didn't need to be such a hassle, it was fun and showed the close relationship between the high priest and the god. At the old man's insistence, Chen Tianfeng finally retained this skill.

"Ha, it turns out to be the 'protagonist'."

Chen Tianfeng spoke in a playful tone and chuckled: "High Priest, choose the empty shell of the female body - yes, it's her, put the star core into the empty shell, and wake her up."

"No wonder the fate has fluctuated greatly. The 'story' is about to begin. How can it be done without the 'protagonist'?"

"Okay, I have something to do here. See you later in the Holy Spirit Empire."

Chen Tianfeng ended the contact, looked at the dark sun in front of him which was like a natural celestial body, grinned, and a pale giant snake as big as the dark sun appeared.

"Ah, that guy led me here so that we can meet?"

The giant snake smiled and taunted, "It is indeed a joy, and the level of provoking troubles is really first-class. What do you think?"

The dark sun trembled slightly, and countless voices sounded at the same time, finally converging into a vague murmur: "It's meaningless... everything is meaningless."

"He's just waiting for a good show. He might even stop Suzaku for this."

"It makes no sense."

"That's all you can say?"

"It makes no sense."

"Oh, joy is very certain. This [existence] of mine will devour your [nothingness]."

The giant snake smiled, not at all annoyed by the calculation.

[Existence], this is another name for Him, it can also be called “Destiny”.

When the [death] of the world is reversed, what emerges is the all-encompassing [existence].

Everything that exists has meaning.

The concept of destiny is so broad that it seems to include everything in the universe. But the conditions for embarking on this destiny are so harsh that most of the creatures in the universe despair - only people with holy spirits can walk on this destiny.

Just like the giant snake [Existence], the only thing He cares about is the Holy Spirit.

It is also worth mentioning that most of the creatures in Teyvat have also joined the Holy Spirit Empire not long ago.

"IX, do you think I'd devour you?"

"..."

The dark sun froze for a moment, and finally gave another answer: "Can you?"

"Of course not!"

The giant snake laughed loudly, "Why do you want to devour you? Whether it is destruction, preservation, or knowledge, harmony, fertility, memory, hunting... all concepts in the universe belong to [existence]."

"I am [existence], the universe, and the essence of the world. Naturally, I will not reject your [existence]!"

He lowered his head, stared at the dark sun, and declared: "[Nothingness] is also a kind of [existence]."

The dark sun was shaken by huge earthquakes, and the stars were shaking. Countless stars that were swallowed by him were shattered and reorganized at this moment, bursting out with dazzling light.

——He seemed to finally get a glimpse of the nature of the monster in front of him at this moment.

"The universe will eventually return to nothingness, and the world is destined to cease to exist."

The dark sun asked the giant snake: "What will you do then?"

The giant snake did not answer directly, but just smiled: "Look, a new story is about to begin."

The emptiness of the universe and the destruction of the world do sound scary, but so what?

It's great if you can stop it, but it doesn't matter if you can't, it's just a new national migration.

Holy Spirit people have enough experience.

For now, just enjoy the moment.

The giant snake suddenly became interested, lowered his eyes, and across the sea of ​​thousands of stars, cast his gaze at the life that was reborn through the star core, lowering the gaze of the gods.

"When one day, you begin to doubt whether your journey really has meaning, whether everything you have experienced is already destined, whether you can really reach the end, and whether you only exist in stories and are controlled by higher-dimensional consciousness. The puppets..."

"Then shout my name and I will give you a chance to jump out of everything and reject everything."

“To face the truth and get the answers.”

"Then answer me..."

"...Are you still willing to go on? If you are willing, take part in the game with your own body."

…

…

"Is this a gift for me? You are really thoughtful, High Priest!"

Chen Tianfeng looked at the deep purple coffin with fine golden lines presented to Him by the high priest, and couldn't let it go for a while: "You still understand me. I haven't slept in a coffin for a long time. I feel uncomfortable all over my body."

The high priest smiled reservedly, but he couldn't hide the pride and joy in his eyes.

The gods like the gifts he prepared, which is really a happy thing.

He stroked his beard and said softly: "By the way, Lord God, there is a little surprise in the coffin, I hope you like it."

"There is another surprise?"

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows, pushed open the coffin lid, and looked down.

A city beauty with purple hair and purple eyes was lying in it, staring at Him, with beautiful fluorescent ribbons wrapped around her body, and delicate little bows tied on her hands and collar.

Chen Tianfeng: "..."

What's going on? ! (End of this chapter)
