What if your Honkai Star Rail was like this?

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: You Know Kafka’s Methods

Qingque continued playing the ”Kafka PV,” but no one was paying attention to the boring fight scenes that followed. The comment section had completely exploded. Everyone was frantically expressing their dumbfounded feelings.

The visual impact of this scene was so strong that language and words simply couldn’t convey the complex emotions in everyone’s hearts. In the end, thousands of words converged into three question marks, flooding the entire comment section.

[Stelle: Oh my mom? Oh my mom!] (pun)

[Interastral Peace Corporation Official: After discussion within the company, we have decided to lower Kafka’s bounty amount.]

[Blade: ...Pfft.]

[Silver Wolf: Hahahahahahaha... Cough cough cough! Laughing like this is so stupid! You guys are laughing like idiots, what’s so funny?!]

[Himeko: Heh, it seems handing Stelle over to our Express crew was truly the wisest choice. If we had let Stelle follow you Stellaron Hunters, hmph...]

[SAM: I kind of want to laugh too, but wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate... Hey! Kafka, Silver Wolf doesn’t deserve to die!]

[Fu Xuan: It was originally hard to imagine, but the person in there really does have Kafka’s face... Then what exactly was the one this seat captured back then?! Damn it, the value instantly dropped.]

[Kafka: ...Everyone, ”listen to me,” shush~]

As soon as this comment from Kafka appeared, half the comment section instantly fell silent.

However, the commotion did not stop there, because the livestream continued. After the previous ”Kafka PV” ended, General Qingque said: ”Don’t worry, that was only the first video. There’s more.”

—There’s more?

The people outside the screen were immediately hooked with curiosity. The first video was already this explosive; what about the second? So looking forward to it, hehe.

And so, the second video began to play:

What first came into view was a front-facing selfie of Kafka. The woman who was usually elegant and mysterious now had an innocent look as she leaned close to the camera. Her clear eyes carefully examined the lens, occasionally making a peace sign or stroking her chin.

Then, after confirming the video had started recording, Kafka waved at the camera with a warm, gentle, and playful voice: ”Hi~ Stelle, long time no see. I wonder if you’ve missed me even a little after leaving for so long.”

”Hehe, I secretly~ secretly~ filmed this video behind Firefly’s back. Otherwise that stingy little ghost would secretly sharpen her blade and ambush me again.”

Kafka bit her finger, looking like she was seriously thinking: ”Oh right, I almost forgot you don’t know me anymore. But it’s okay. As long as you come to the Luofu, we’ll still have a chance to meet. I hope you still have even a tiny bit of impression of me by then, otherwise I’ll be so sad~”

”...”

The second video ended here.

...

The livestream room fell silent! A deathly silence!

After a long while, the comment section slowly updated with a comment:

[March 7th: I-Is this really that Kafka? Why do I feel like her IQ is even lower than mine? She looks so silly and cute.]

[Stelle: Oh my mom!!]

[Welt: The sense of dissonance is too strong, yet Kafka’s face neutralizes it. My brain tells me it’s wrong, but my eyes tell me it’s right.]

[Stelle: Why is no one commenting?]

[Stelle: @Silver Wolf You didn’t hack the livestream room, did you?]

[Silver Wolf: Ai ya, if I could hack it I would have done it long ago, but this livestream’s firewall is too tricky. It would take me a long time to handle it alone.]

[Stelle: Then why is no one talking?]

[Silver Wolf: Oh, although hacking the room is troublesome, doxxing only takes a few finger movements.]

[Stelle: What does it mean?]

Ring ring ring—

At this moment, Stelle’s phone suddenly vibrated, showing an unknown number.

Stelle: ?

With the spirit of ”Trailblaze,” Stelle answered the call. However, before she could say anything, a familiar and gentle voice came from the other end: ”Baby~ ’listen to me’...”

In an instant, Stelle was bewitched by a mysterious power. Her mind became hazy, her eyes rolled back, and she knew nothing anymore.

...

Some time later, in the livestream:

[Stelle: Eh? Did the livestream malfunction just now? Why was it black screen the whole time?]

[Guinaifen: Eh? Mine too, I don’t know why.]

[Sushang: Eh? You guys too? How strange. It just turned into this after I took one phone call. So weird.]

[March 7th: Eh? Didn’t you guys see it? Weren’t they playing the video of Kafka imitating me just now?]

[Stelle: ? Who’s imitating you? Kafka?]

[Stelle: Impossible, absolutely impossible!]

[March 7th: ? H-How is it impossible?! So many people in the livestream room saw it! If you don’t believe me, I won’t be friends with you anymore! @Welt Yang Uncle! Help me testify!]

[Welt: ...Actually my phone also suddenly went black screen just now. I didn’t see it.]

[March 7th: @Dan Heng Then Dan Heng must have seen it, right?]

[Dan Heng: ...Sorry.]

[March 7th: !!! Waaaah— Damn it, why is it like this? Stelle you idiot, I wasn’t lying!]

[...]

While the comment section was exchanging question marks with each other, the livestream progress had also jumped forward a lot. At this time, Himeko and March 7th had already left the Palace of Astrum. It was at this moment that Huohuo appeared again.

”Qingque... I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”

Huohuo said, unable to endure any longer: ”Have you caught Blade? Have you caught Kafka? And you’re still so leisurely here? Playing some ’surprise soldier’ game?”

”Don’t panic, Huohuo dear.”

Qingque said confidently: ”Relax, every single move of these people is under the observation of the All-Seeing Eye.”

”Just rest assured. I have plenty of trump cards. No matter who the mastermind behind this is, I can have a good fight with them.”

”...Do as you wish.”

...

The scene shifted. After closing the holographic projection connection, Qingque slowly exhaled: ”So tiring!”

”I knew I shouldn’t have taken over Jing Yuan’s shift.”

Qingque rubbed her waist, suddenly thought of something, and the corners of her mouth revealed a meaningful smile. She took out her phone and dialed a number:

”Hello? Mm, it’s me, little Fu. Come to my house later.”

”What for? Of course it’s to tutor you. You wouldn’t want to be kicked out of the Divination Commission because of poor performance, right? Hehehehehe...”

[Qingque: ???!!!]

[Qingque: Divination Commissioner! There’s a bad person trying to harm me! This has absolutely nothing to do with me!]

[Qingque: @Host Bro We don’t have any grudge between us, right? Do you have to be so ruthless and target me?]

[Fu Xuan: ...]

[Fu Xuan: Good... This is simply outrageous, complete reversal!!]

[Fu Xuan: Qingque! Come to my house right now. I want to see exactly who is tutoring whom?!]

[Yanqing: ??? This is...?]

[Jing Yuan: Cough cough, Yanqing, don’t meddle in adult matters. Go play with Yunli and stop watching this livestream.]

[Yanqing: Ah, General, please don’t say that. Yanqing will just keep watching the livestream here.]
