Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

After opening the door, Jiang Jiu turned a few steps to a somewhat secluded spot and then closed the door behind him.

"Come out, Kafka."

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

Kafka slowly lowered the umbrella she had been holding above her head, a faint smile playing on her usually dull eyes.

"haven't seen you for a long time--"

"Is that how you should say it? How have you been lately? Are you alright?"

She walked over to Jiang Jiu and looked him up and down.

"You poor thing, are you tired? Would you like to rest for a bit? I can make you a cup of hot tea—"

"Kafka!"

Jiang Jiu took a step back, somewhat puzzled by Kafka's behavior.

Kafka smiled gently.

She wasn't disappointed when she was rejected; she simply changed the subject.

“It seems you’re not used to this kind of greeting.” Kafka closed her umbrella and leaned against the wall. “Alright then, let’s get down to business.”

She toned down her overly affectionate manner, her tone remaining gentle but now carrying a hint of business.

“Elliot has written a new script... He wants to know why you chose this path.”

Jiang Jiu raised his hand, twirling the black card halfway between his fingers: "Because it's the most convenient method, isn't it? Xianzhou won't admit they're conducting dangerous experiments, but once the rumors spread, someone will always investigate—"

"Especially... this matter might affect the interests of certain forces."

"For example, 'company' or 'family'."

Kafka understood.

"They certainly hate instability, but are you sure this news can spread quickly?"

"The Black Tower never does anything it's not sure of."

Jiang Jiu put the card in his pocket and said directly, "Anyway, our goals are the same, so the Star Core Hunters also need to put in some effort. Did you know that I was locked down by the Patrol before?"

Kafka paused for two seconds, thinking of the discarded script.

What do you want me to do?

Jiang Jiu tilted his head: "Don't you know? It should be written in the script, right? I'm going to spread this news widely."

"Tomorrow, I will use the Flowing Light Memory Garden to make the name Shi Jin appear in the world's vision."

"Then, I will declare war on the Immortal Ship under this name."

"I want to place the Immortal Ship on the opposite side of the universe. You know what to do, right?"

Chapter 107 Do what you should do.

Kafka let out a soft "ah," and a hint of understanding seemed to flash in her otherwise unremarkable eyes.

"Declare war on the Immortal Ship?"

She repeated it, her tone tinged with curiosity: "In the identity of the Great Lord Shi Jin of Annihilation? That's quite a grand gesture, but it suits your status perfectly."

Jiang Jiu shrugged.

"I wonder what Elio knows. I'm actually quite curious about how much you all know?"

Kafka thought for a moment and then smiled.

"It was just a glimpse into the future. The future of the story deviated from its original course, and the Immortal Ship strayed from the path of exploration, heading towards its destined destruction."

“In Elio’s script, this is a probability line.”

"With different choices, the probability of success can fluctuate between 30% and 70%, depending on one 'variable.'"

"What variable?" Jiang Jiu asked.

Kafka looked at Jiang Jiu and said, "You."

Jiang Jiu remained silent for two seconds.

Okay, okay, the answer is what I expected.

Seeing that Jiang Jiu had no reaction, Kafka continued, "In the future that Elio saw, if you insist on following the current path, it may trigger a chain reaction."

"The Celestial Ship's launch plan will be accelerated, Ruan Mei's research will be completed ahead of schedule, and even the arrival of the 'End' will be brought forward."

"But if you change your approach... for example, go to the Immortal Ship in person and discuss everything openly, the success rate will drop to 30%, but the consequences will be relatively controllable."

Jiang Jiu raised an eyebrow: "So his suggestion is?"

No suggestions.

Kafka shook her head.

"Elliot only said that he respects your choice."

"But as allies, we feel it is necessary to remind you."

"Time is not a toy; those who play with time will ultimately be devoured by it."

Jiang Jiu paused for two seconds, then scoffed, "These words coming from someone who can see through fate have absolutely no credibility."

“Maybe,” Kafka said without refutation.

Although no useful information was obtained, this exchange at least let Jiang Jiu know that Elio was not omniscient.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. They can only see a part of the end, at most they are just messengers of the end.

"Alright, regarding your suggestion to personally go to the Immortal Ship and lay everything out in the open... I've tried it, and the final result..."

He didn't finish speaking, but simply looked calmly at Kafka.

The answer is self-evident.

The latter exclaimed "Ah!"

"It seems like a terrible experience. Actually... there's still plenty of time, and the future isn't as urgent as you think."

Kafka laughed and said, "Perhaps sometimes, a short rest can help relax your tense nerves a little, which is even better."

"I do not need."

Jiang Jiu interrupted Kafka, his patience wearing thin.

"Do what you're supposed to do, and don't do anything unnecessary."

He didn't understand why Kafka was so inexplicably concerned. To be honest, were they that close?

This timeline should be the first time they met, right?

Logically speaking, even if they are allies, it's one thing if they don't have any sense of vigilance towards us, but what kind of attitude is this?

Very strange.

Even if you put all the timelines together, they still haven't met more than a few times, have they?

Never mind... it's not important.

Kafka's smile faded slightly, and her ever-misty purple eyes gazed quietly at Jiang Jiu for a while.

"......I see."

She said softly, no longer trying to persuade him.

"So, getting back to the main point, you want to declare war on the Immortal Ship, using the name of the Great Monarch of Annihilation to expose the crisis of the Second Universal Locust Plague to the world, forcing the entire universe to focus its attention on the Immortal Ship's plan, right?"

"The Star Core Hunters can spread some information about this and cause a little commotion in the galaxy."

Silver Wolf can do this easily.

And then make a little bigger commotion... um...

"Kafka".

A blue electronic screen appeared beside her. A short man glanced at Jiang Jiu and asked subconsciously.

How's your gaming?

Jiang Jiu: "..."

Silver Wolf seemed to realize that now was not the time to talk about games, so he decided to hack into the other person's phone and ask questions on the phone.

"What's wrong, Silver Wolf?" Kafka asked.

“We should go, Kafka.” Silver Wolf chewed his gum, looking at the data on the blue screen. “The king of Screw Star is here. He detected me when he was operating the space station’s defense system.”

Jiang Jiu shrugged and said directly, "No need to see me out."

Silver Wolf walked to Kafka's side, and just before leaving, red warning signs began flashing wildly on the blue screen in front of her.

Silver Wolf remained completely calm.

"The script says that at this point you should call the owner of the space station."

Jiang Jiu: "..."

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but complain while calling Black Tower, "Aren't you supposed to be the top hacker in the entire universe? You can't even hack this?"

Silver Wolf calmly retorted, "It's not that it can't be hacked, it's just that it's been discovered."

Is that correct?

Did you go out of character?

"Black Tower, release them."

Black Tower responded with an "oh".

"alright."

The sound of screws coming through the communication.

"Note: I did not stop the two Star Core Hunters from leaving; this is just a minor warning."

Jiang Jiu looked at the silver wolf speechlessly, then ignored the two of them and turned to leave.
