Chapter 66 This time, it's my turn to come find you!
Kafka raised her head, her wine-red eyes looking at the silver wolf.
What kind of look was that?
Madness, passion, numbness, anticipation, fear...
Correct.
Scared.
She actually saw fear in Kaffa's eyes...
But now that things have come to this, there's no chance for her to back out.
Silver Wolf swallowed hard, handed the tablet to Kafka, and opened the video.
"Look at this, he was also on the space station when we finished the script."
Kafka turned to look at the screen.
When she saw that familiar back, when she saw that earth-shattering slash.
"Clang—"
The submachine gun in her hand fell to the ground for the second time because of the same person.
Kafka instantly grabbed the tablet with both hands, staring intently at the figure on the screen.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
In her world, only that figure remained.
She won't admit her mistake.
They don't look alike at all.
It's him.
It's really him.
The man who turned into stardust before her eyes and vanished in Putello Port.
The man she buried deep in her memory, a man she dared not even mention again in Elio's script.
Her Ali... he's still alive.
He's back...
An indescribable emotion, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly overwhelmed all her reason and composure.
Ecstasy, shock, pain, confusion...
Countless emotions intertwined and surged wildly in Kaffa's chest, almost tearing her apart.
"Kafka?"
"Hey, Kafka?!"
Silver Wolf was startled by Kafka's pale face and trembling body.
This was the first time she had ever seen Kafka make such an expression.
It was an expression that... was a mixture of extreme pain and extreme ecstasy, looking so fragile that it seemed like it would shatter at any moment.
"Your hand..."
Silver Wolf noticed that Kafka's nails had dug deeply into her palms, drawing blood.
But Kafka seemed to feel no pain.
Her gaze remained fixed on the screen, her lips moving slightly as she uttered a few incoherent syllables.
"Ah... Li..."
Kafka slowly placed her hand on the screen and gently stroked the figure's back.
"You...are still alive..."
Why?
Why are you still alive, but you don't come looking for me...?
Kafka clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain.
Was he angry with Kaffa because she was naughty?
Ah Li, you don't know—
Kafka is very well-behaved now.
She can not only tie her own shoelaces, but also cook for herself.
Even if you hate it, you'll still eat the carrot.
Kaffa, who used to be the only one you could take care of, can now take care of others too...
Or are you lost?
So you can't find Kafka?
Don't worry, Ali.
You used to be the one who came to me.
this time--
It's my turn to come to you.
next second.
Kafka suddenly stood up, grabbed the submachine gun that had fallen to the ground, and turned to walk out.
"Silver Wolf, set the flight path."
"I need to return to the Black Tower Space Station!"
"Hey! Calm down!" Silver Wolf was startled and quickly grabbed her. "It's too late to get to the Black Tower Space Station now."
"I checked before I came; the Star Train had already jumped out of the space station a long time ago."
"Furthermore, I heard that the Interstellar Peace Company has sent the First Special Operations Team, directly under the 'Amber King,' to the Black Tower Space Station in order to find Lu Li."
"If you go to him now, what if the people from the Interstellar Peace Corporation target you?"
"Not to mention, the Black Tower seems to have returned to the space station; going there now is practically suicide!"
"I don't care!" Kafka shook off her hand, her eyes filled with a fanatical madness. "I have to find him!"
"Even if I have to turn the entire universe upside down, I will find him!"
She had waited too long.
In Elio's script, she plays one role after another, leading to one predetermined ending after another.
Because Elio told her.
As long as she follows the script, she can find the "destiny" she desires.
Now, she has finally found it.
So she didn't want to wait any longer.
I don't want to wait even a second longer.
She just wanted to be in front of that person immediately!
Seeing that Kafka was determined to leave.
Silver Wolf immediately spread his arms to block Kafka's path: "In short, I won't let you go to your death!"
"Silver Wolf." Kafka looked at the silver wolf blocking her way, her voice eerily calm.
"I'm saying it one last time, get out of the way."
"you……"
Seeing Kafka's state, Silver Wolf was so anxious that he didn't know what to say.
Just then, the spacecraft's communication system suddenly lit up.
A cold, emotionless, mechanical synthesized voice echoed in the cabin.
[Calm down, Kaffa.]
I know you're anxious, but please wait a little longer.
Kafka stopped in her tracks.
"Elio..." Kafka gritted her teeth and squeezed the name out of her throat.
She turned her head sharply to look at the communicator, two flames burning in her wine-red eyes.
"wait?"
"For centuries, you've been using the same word!"
"He's already back, how much longer do you want me to wait!"
I know what you're thinking right now.
But now is not the time for you to meet.
"opportunity?"
Kafka chuckled softly, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world; her laughter was filled with self-mockery and sorrow.
"I've waited all these years."
"He's right there now, on that train."
"You're telling me I can't see him now?"
"Then tell me, what do you mean by 'timing'?"
"Was it when he disappeared from my sight again?!"
Even if you go, you won't see him.
The Star Trains have entered a warp drive; their warp path is encrypted, and even you couldn't find them in the vast sea of stars.
Elio's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Kafka's nearly boiling madness.
Kafka's body froze.
Yes.
The universe is so vast that a train undergoing a space jump is like a needle sinking into the ocean.
Without coordinates, where is she supposed to look?
A tremendous sense of powerlessness instantly gripped Kavka's heart.
Just a little bit more...
She was so close to seeing him.
Why?
Why does fate always have to play such tricks on her?
Don't rush, Kafka.
Elio's voice remained calm.
You've waited so long, there's no need to rush.
As I promised, I will arrange for you to meet according to the script.
But it must be done according to the script, at the right time and in the right place.
An unplanned meeting will introduce unpredictable variables.
Even the slightest deviation could lead to an irreversible outcome.
【you……】
Elio remained silent for a moment.
[You don't want to see him disappear from your sight again, do you?]
