Tatsuke picked up his phone and clicked on the latest message.
It was from Guinaifen.
"Hahaha, thank you so much, my friend!"
"If it weren't for you recommending this game to me, I would never have known such an amazing game existed in the world!"
"You're literally my savior!"
"Enough said, I'm off to stream. I'll treat you to a meal someday!"
Guinaifen had even changed her signature.
It now read: [Big Boss Yu Ling, my god!]
Guinaifen would never have imagined that the guy she met that night was the developer behind the internet sensation Honkai: Star Rail—Yu Ling.
If you reversed the name, it was his real name. (Lin Yu his chinese name)
Looking at this signature, Tatsuke suddenly realized something!
Even an ordinary player like Guinaifen understood that [Yu Ling] was a super big shot.
How could Kafka and the others not realize this?
Were the Stellaron Hunters all fools?
Was it really this smooth? Did they believe everything he said?
Ordinary people wouldn't believe it, let alone the Stellaron Hunters.
Thinking carefully, something was very off!
Another new message popped up on his phone.
It was from Silver Wolf's alternate account: "I've arrived at Luofu. Where are you?"
Tatsuke immediately focused, staring at the message.
Activating [Eye of Insight]!
Before him, a three-dimensional image materialized.
In a secluded corner, a woman with light makeup was patiently waiting.
This was Kafka's disguise.
Outwardly, she looked like an ordinary office worker, with no resemblance to her true self.
Kafka's disguise skills were indeed masterful!
Tatsuke had realized he had made a fatal mistake.
"I underestimated the Stellar Hunters!"
He quickly replied in the chat box: "Do you really believe I'm [Yu Ling]? That I'm just an ordinary outsider?"
Kafka picked up her phone and replied, "Why not? Wanting to meet your idol isn't a problem, right?"
Seeing this reply, his suspicions were confirmed.
He focused his gaze on Kafka.
[Eye Of Insight] not only allowed him to observe the target's actions but also their thoughts and behavioral logic.
He delved deep into her mind!
The moment he read her thoughts, a cold voice echoed—
"Is it you who's spying on me?"
Tatsuke's hand trembled slightly.
He almost fell into their trap!
He continued to probe.
"Elio mentioned that you might possess [Insight] and [Recording] abilities, so... Silver Wolf and I put on this act."
"If you saw our behavior, you'd probably let your guard down."
Discovering this truth, Tatsuke couldn't help but want to applaud the Stellaron Hunters.
They had played a counterplot against him!
Elio, through calculations and deductions, had concluded that he might possess abilities similar to [Insight].
They assumed he was constantly observing them!
...And everything he had seen before was their performance!
His abilities allowed him to see not only the surface but also the depths.
Kafka's inner thoughts continued.
"Why aren't you replying?"
"Yu Ling, have you noticed something..."
A message notification interrupted Kafka's thoughts.
Tatsuke focused his consciousness and saw the content sent from Kafka's phone.
The sender's avatar was a black cat.
The name was... [Elio].
"Mission aborted. You've been exposed."
Kafka shrugged helplessly.
She took off her glasses and spoke to the empty space in front of her: "It was a good game, don't you think? Yu Ling?"
Tatsuke sighed in resignation.
As expected of the Stellaron Hunters, they weren't so easy to handle.
Another message appeared in Kafka's chat box.
"In the script of fate, only your trajectory is unpredictable."
Tatsuke knew this message wasn't for Kafka but specifically for him.
"Yu Ling, I'm glad the universe has someone like you."
After that, [Elio] said no more.
Kafka put away her phone.
Addressing the air in front of her, she said, "Yu Ling... I'm really curious about what kind of existence you are."
"I'll continue to experience the game you developed. When [I] make an appearance, make sure to design [me] exquisitely, okay~"
"Now, it's time to participate in the next script."
"If you're still spying on me..."
"It's an honor to present the next performance for you."
Kafka waved her hand.
From Tatsuke's perspective, it was as if she was waving directly at him.
"As expected of you..."
Tatsuke opened the system interface.
He couldn't quite tell if he was happy or disappointed.
Thinking about it, if he had easily outmaneuvered the Stellar Hunters, he would have found it boring too.
