Starry Sky Railway: I develop mobile games in Xianzhou...

Silver Wolf set up automatic navigation for his spaceship so he could play the game without worry.

Gazing at the Milky Way outside the window.

Kafka suddenly spoke up: "Silver Wolf, you said..."

Does free will exist?

Silver Wolf was engrossed in playing the game when he heard Kafka suddenly ask such a philosophical question, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh?"

However, I slowed down my operations a little.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "We are [slaves to fate], always acting according to the script."

"From this perspective, free will is a joke to us."

Kafka nodded: "Yes, I used to think that all choices were illusory, just one of the possibilities predetermined by fate, and that free will simply doesn't exist."

"But since the appearance of Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway, this idea has been somewhat shaken."

Silver Wolf sent the footage from Xiao Guizi's live stream to Kafka.

"Then let's give it a try. In this companion mission, select the option to [report Kafka]."

"Reject all the options that come up later, and see what the final result will be."

"If the outcome remains unchanged, it means that what Yu Ling wants to convey is the same as what you thought before."

"If they're different..."

“It will definitely be different,” Kafka said with certainty.

"Its (Honkai: Star Railway) appearance represents a breaking of the rules."

Silver Wolf rolled his eyes.

"Are you also the Galaxy Baseball Man?"

Chapter 124 Silver Wolf: Just enjoy it, who cares about anything else?

You arrived at the gates of the Shence Mansion, and suddenly hesitated for no apparent reason...

"Star: (Let's not alert them, let's confirm Kafka's location first...)"

Saw this scene.

Kafka's gaze darkened slightly.

Of the available options for the mission, only the option to [go to Kafka's location] remains.

Silver Wolf turned the chair around.

He said to Kafka, "See? I told you so."

"How could this kind of task be designed to make you fail from the very beginning?"

"This is just a game!"

"If players had a choice, some would definitely want to skip all the story and just collect the rewards."

Kafka nodded: "So it seems that although the game's plot has different choices and triggers different dialogues, it will eventually converge towards the same ending."

"This is the setting of a game. So, could reality also be a giant game?"

Silver Wolf's lips curled into a smile: "I like your analogy, but why are you suddenly so sentimental today?"

"It's because I just pulled off a big heist, and it coincided with the release of my character's PV and the opening of peer quests... Of course, I need to do some deep thinking."

"Suit yourself, you continue. I still need to farm relics to improve my character level."

Silver Wolf turned around.

He manipulated the free chair to move it to the undisturbed gaming area he had set.

but.

A message was left behind, which drifted back over time.

“I find life interesting and have a lot of fun now, so I’m willing to continue being a Star Core Hunter.”

"Like games...it's all about having fun. As long as it's enjoyable, who cares about anything else?"

Kafka's lips slowly curved into a smile.

Look at the game interface in front of you.

"That's right..."

"This is indeed very interesting..."

…………

Xiao Guizi's live stream room.

After careful consideration.

She chose to return to the observation car first to ask Himeko and Walter for their opinions.

The two gave similar answers—both recommended meeting with Kaffa.

With the affirmation of the two parents from the train crew.

Gui Naifen immediately teleported to the Taibu Si.

The corresponding coordinates have been found.

"Mom, I'm here!"

In a quiet alley.

Kafka was standing in front of a house with lights on, seemingly waiting patiently.

"I knew you would come, Xing."

They came to Kafka's side.

Through the half-open window, Gui Naifen saw Ren inside, who was sitting in a meditation posture with his eyes closed.

"Alright, alright, Mom and Uncle Ren are both here. A family should always be together!"

Step forward.

Speak with Kafka again.

"If we had eyes like Eriol's, the world wouldn't be what you and I see now; countless possibilities would overlap, representing the consequences of different choices. And every moment, these infinite choices would converge into the same point, becoming the present, becoming the past..."

"Is this your choice? To accept my request and help me?"

"Yes, after all, you need my help."

I haven't decided yet.

No, I'm here to reject you.

Think a little.

I chose the third option.

Gui Naifen explained, "When facing my mother, I can't just agree directly, so I have to be a little mischievous!"

Kaffa replied in surprise, "Huh... really? You'll reject me?"

"If you wanted to reject me, why are you here at this moment?"

You're right... I really do want to help you.

Because I want to say no in person.

Because I had no choice…

"Three choices again."

"Now I can speak my mind, but there's no need. I think I can be a little more cheeky."

Gui Naifen selected the third option.

"Yes, we are all... slaves to fate."

“What is called destiny is neither visible nor intangible; yet it is as certain as all the past and present that have collapsed and converged. I call to you, and you come; you have many choices, and everything leads you here…here and now.”

"You came at my summons, and you know that I truly need your help, yet you hesitate. Why?"

I'd like to know more about the situation...

I just hate you.

I don't believe in fate.

The second option is obviously not to be selected.

That's a bit too much.

Therefore, Gui Naifen chose the third one.

Do you believe the universe is free?

"Alright, in that case, you can keep this option—Trail Blazers, will you stay? For me."

at this time.

There are only two choices left.

I'll stay and help you.

I will not stay.

Gui Naifen pondered for nearly three minutes.

Finally, take a deep breath.

"Family members, I feel that we must make the right choice at this time."

"If I refuse again, there may really be no turning back."

"After all, my mother always said, 'When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it.'"

"We've already been cheeky three times already, if we refuse again Kaffa will really be sad~"

I'll stay and help you.

"Thank you. On this celestial ship... you're the only one I can rely on."

at this time.

the other side.

Kafka didn't choose to say, "I'll stay and help you," but instead chose to continue refusing—"I won't stay."

In Kafka's view, although this is a game plot, it should actually be a real event that happened in reality.

Elio will also write a script about this part....

However, with the emergence of "Honkai Impact: Star Railway", everything changed, and the corresponding script was naturally rendered obsolete.

Kafka couldn't predict what would happen next.

“You should know why I’m stopping you… If you leave, the story that follows will be real, it will truly disappear from your future, it will become an unchangeable past, and there will be no chance to go back.”

I still choose: "I will not stay."

"What are you insisting on? The right to choose? Or is it merely a struggle? Don't you understand that even this right to struggle is rigidly limited by predetermined possibilities?"

I will not stay.

“Elio said you would help me. I wonder how many possibilities that truth he glimpsed…”

I will not stay.

Kafka: ...

This time.

The character in the story fell silent.
