Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

Building dreams on the border.

A dazzling golden light appeared on the horizon, giving the entire sky a layered appearance.

During the transition between day and night, the sky changes color from a clear black to a clean white.

On the rooftop of an unfinished building, two girls, one with gray hair and the other with white hair, leaned against the railing, admiring the sunrise together.

Occasionally, a few shooting stars streak across the sky with shimmering tails—a beautiful sight only found in dreams.

"This is my secret hideout. Do you like it?"

Liu Ying looked at the star beside her and asked with a smile.

"I really like it; it gives me a different feeling."

Xing nodded and said very seriously.

“I’m glad you like it.” Liu Ying’s smile grew even brighter as she said, “Actually, I didn’t want to meet you again as a Star Core Hunter. Before you left, we agreed to meet again with completely new identities.”

"But fate is so strange. I revealed my identity the first time we met, but luckily you still accepted me."

If she hadn't run into Silver Wolf, she probably would have remained hidden from Xing for a long time.

She wanted to treat this meeting as a new beginning for them.

Pretend they've never met, start from scratch, and express your true feelings as directly as possible.

Unfortunately, fate is a strange thing; she encountered the Silver Wolf, who had defied the script.

"You are very sincere and beautiful. You are my friend." Xing held Liuying's hand and expressed her feelings affectionately, then said, "I'm just a little curious, what was I like before?"

With a touch of emotion, Liu Ying said, "It was your calm and intelligent companion who helped us escape danger several times."

Xing immediately puffed out his chest and proudly declared, "As expected of me!"

"hehe."

Liu Ying smiled and was happy for her.

Xing then looked at Liuying and asked, "Do you prefer the old me or the current me?"

"..." Liu Ying was taken aback, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, I like both of them."

"..."

Xing felt something was off; she saw a reflection of herself in Liu Ying.

It's like if she had to choose between March 7th and Himeko, she would choose both.

While the two women were exchanging feelings for each other.

Liu Ying's phone vibrated.

She picked it up and looked at it, and found it was a message from Kafka.

Xingye leaned closer and became excited when she saw Kaffa's image. It was like a child seeing its mother and wanting to pat its belly to say it was hungry.

[Kafka: What are you doing?]

Liu Ying glanced at the star beside her and replied, "I'm with the star, enjoying the scenery together."

[Kafka: Oh, I'm sorry to bother you. But we can't get in touch with Silver Wolf. Could you contact Su Chen?]

Silver Wolf sent her a message saying that he was fulfilling the bet and would be back soon, and then there was no further news.

It seemed he didn't want to lose face in front of them before the bet was over.

She was very annoyed by this childish behavior.

Liu Ying shook her head and replied, "No, I don't have his contact information either."

"I do, I do!"

Xing shook Liuying's arm and shouted excitedly.

Firefly smiled gently and sent the message to Kafka.

[Kafka: Thank you so much, Hoshino. You've been a great help again.]

"You're welcome."

Xing touched his head, looking very proud.

……

Soon, the Daydream Hotel will become a reality.

Kafka met with Su Chen in room 217, with Hanabi, Hoshi, and Silver Wolf accompanying them.

However, fireflies did not appear here due to entropy loss syndrome.

She subtly surveyed the group, lingering a little longer on the silver wolf: "Nice to meet you. I am Kafka from the Star Core Hunters."

“I’ve heard about it before.” Su Chen nodded slightly and said, “If you’re here for Silver Wolf, don’t bother. She’ll leave on her own once she wins the bet.”

"Of course, if you're willing to trade what I'm interested in for her freedom, I can agree."

In fact, it's completely irrelevant how Silver Wolf was teased back then. He's already vented his anger, and keeping him around now is just like having reserve food.

When I get interested, I'll try to flirt with her.

Oh no, I mean, let's do a strategy guide.

Even if she gets replaced, it doesn't matter. With Silver Wolf's stubborn nature, she'll come back to deliver it. Just like how she never learns her lesson after infiltrating the Black Tower space station several times.

"What?!" Xing Tong's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Silver Wolf in disbelief: "So you didn't acknowledge Su Chen as your boss, but instead became his slave?"

During this time, when Silver Wolf played with her, he never mentioned this. Instead, he often bragged to her about how many times he had beaten Su Chen and how good Su Chen was to him.

As it turned out, Silver Wolf was putting on a brave face in front of her.

He's lost his freedom to Su Chen; I wonder if he'll get a severe beating tonight. Proud wolf, you've really come to this!

"..."

Silver Wolf reached out and pressed Xing's face, feeling utterly humiliated.

The image that she had painstakingly built up in front of Xing was completely ruined in an instant.

Kafka also arrived before she defeated Su Chen, and I saw her become a slave.

She couldn't help but feel moved. Kafka had actually come to Pinocchio for her sake and personally negotiated with a dangerous person like Su Chen. She was so kind to her.

No, she can't cause trouble for Kafka!

Silver Wolf suddenly looked at Kafka and said righteously, "Kafka, you don't need to save me! I, Silver Wolf, will one day use my own strength to win back my freedom from Su Chen."

"Kafka, go back. Don't beg Su Chen for my sake!"

She stood tall, ready to sacrifice her life for righteousness!

"..."

Kafka gave an awkward but polite smile.

This kid is overthinking things.

She hadn't planned to interfere since Silver Wolf wasn't in any immediate danger. Since the script was already messed up, she figured she might as well give Silver Wolf a long vacation.

Kafka composed herself and said to Su Chen, "I didn't come here for that reason. I trust Silver Wolf completely under your command."

"I have come here today to seek your opinion on where the universe is headed in the future?"

"..."

Silver Wolf froze, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Wasn't it all for her after all?

So what exactly did she say just now?

"Oh dear, someone's just being presumptuous!"

Fireworks whispered in Silver Wolf's ear, laughing merrily.
