vI'm a cornerstone, I'm here to kidnap the robin

Her long hair, a color between dark purple and burgundy, fell to her waist like a waterfall. She wore a pair of black round sunglasses clipped on her hair. The black coat with spider web patterns covered her tall figure, but she didn't actually wear it. Instead, it was draped over the white lining like a cloak.

A black leather belt passed through the chest and armpits, making the outfit tighter and giving the lady a feeling of wearing a restraint suit.

"That's right, Glass. Even among the ten Stone Hearts of the Interstellar Peace Company, it's the most special cornerstone. It's not a true jewel, but more like a consumable item that will break after a certain number of uses. Miss Singer, would you like to guess who holds that cornerstone now?"

Kafka looked at the Universal Singer in front of her, her eyes, as if covered with a layer of purple mist, revealing a hint of scrutiny.

In fact, she and other star core hunters had arrived in Pinoconi very early, almost at the same time as Liuying arrived.

However, she did not choose to appear in front of Jeremy, but hid in Liumeng Reef with others, waiting for fate to come.

In Elio's script, Jeremy will "die" here.

However, Kafka was still a little surprised when she learned from Silver Wolf that Jeramy seemed to have become friends with the target of his mission, and that their relationship even had a tendency to develop beyond friendship.

Falling in love during a mission is not Jeramy's character. Otherwise, with his work efficiency as a senior worker, the Interstellar Peace Company should have opened a separate love statistics office for him long ago.

Therefore, when the robin and Jeremy came to Liumeng Reef together, Kafka couldn't suppress her curiosity and chose to avoid Jeremy's sight and meet the legendary singer in private.

"...Mr. Jeramy, right? I should have thought of it earlier."

Although it was well hidden, the robin was not completely unaware of any clues.

Jeremy's communication with Sha Jin was not completely out of the sight of his family. Moreover, although Robin deliberately avoided his sight when entering Liumeng Reef, he still remembered the direction of the gap that Jeremy had knocked open.

And just now, those who once again supported the sky poured out from the filled gap, temporarily maintaining the peace of Liumeng Reef.

Looking back on their past interactions, Jeremy's concealment was not perfect, whether in front of "Saturday" or in front of "Mockingbird".

After all, she could use the Fool to prove her simultaneous presence in front of Mr. Jeremy, and Mr. Jeremy could also use her to prove his alibi.

Mr. Jeramy, like his cornerstone, was transparent, but the disguise was not completely imperceptible.

Anyone who is willing to get dizzy from it is either naturally careless or deliberately turning a blind eye.

So, am I a fool or a fool?

Taking a deep breath to calm his complicated emotions, the robin looked at the purple figure in front of him and asked calmly.

"Who are you, then?"

"Star Core Hunter, Kafka, you should have seen my name on the company's wanted poster. I was also Jeramy's former boss."

Looking at the robin who quickly calmed the waves in her heart, Kafka nodded in appreciation.

It seems that the person Jeremy likes is not some young lady who only cries when encountering problems.

It’s a pity that I now have to play the bad guy who breaks up the couple.

Nefera, Nefera, your child is really a worry in every sense. Why did he have to hook up with the Son of Harmony who is watched by the Harmonious Ones? This identity does not match that of a Star Core Hunter.

"Now, Miss Mockingbird, for Jeramy's sake, could you please draw a line between you and him after you leave Dream Reef?"

Kafka gave the robin in front of her a kind smile, suppressing the urge to complain in her heart, making herself look oppressive but not aggressive.

After all, even she herself felt that the current atmosphere looked too much like a wicked mother-in-law ostracizing a little girl.

But the problem is, I'm not Jeremy's mother, so theoretically it's not my turn to take care of this kind of thing.

Although Kafka promised Nefera that she would take care of Jeremy, most of the time, she was the one being taken care of. Even the cost of collecting coats was earned by Jeremy as a senior employee in the company.

Fortunately, I don't think I will have the chance to enter the worm abyss that is soaked in nothingness again, otherwise I would not be ashamed to face that good friend whom I only met once.

"Former boss... that kind of status isn't very convincing, and it doesn't even guarantee a close relationship. Ms. Kafka doesn't seem qualified to be so overbearing."

Knowing that this extremely dangerous-looking lady was here to prevent him and Jeremy from taking any further steps, the robin immediately took two steps back cautiously, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes when he looked at Kafka.

"In theory, that's true, but Jeramy's mother and I are old acquaintances. I even risked being swallowed by the void to bring Jeramy out of that world that had sunk into the narrow gap. I also promised his mother that I would protect his growth, so... it's not an exaggeration to say that I am Jeramy's guardian."

As if she had already guessed how the robin would react, Kafka chuckled and retorted slowly.

"Ms. Mockingbird, you should be well aware that the Star Core Hunter and the Son of Harmony are not a good match. Moreover, my suggestion is not just for Jeramy, it is also for your own good."

Lifting up her white sleeves and taking off the purple gloves dotted with spider webs, Kafka showed her right hand to the robin.

The fair forearms are slender and long, and even the protruding joints on the wrists appear particularly delicate, like the most exquisite works of art.

However, above the wrist, the perfect arm suddenly changed style.

The dark mist seemed to cover Kafka's palm, casting a shadow on her smooth and white hand, making it look a little scary.

"You should have seen the person walking on the other side of nothingness. She had a difficult life, but she also had her own unique luck. At least she could walk freely in the underworld devoured by the Sleeping Formless Ones, without having to worry about being shrouded by the shadow of nothingness. But I... am not so lucky."

"About ten years ago, I happened to pass by the star region where the Worm Abyss once stood and accidentally fell into the shadow of nothingness. Although a certain Blood Guilt Spirit helped me, the traces of nothingness still lingered on me. As for Jeramy... He's been in the other side for eight hundred Amber Ages. To what extent do you think he'll be tainted by the shadow of nothingness?"

Mentioning Jeramy's situation, Kafka looked up at the sky above her head, which had been restored to its original state, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Coveted by reproduction, tainted by nothingness, prophesied of doom, guarded and watched... the burden on that child's shoulders is too heavy. This is not intentional on you, but leaving him is indeed the best option for you."

"You are the son of harmony, watched over by those of the same kind. You were born to stand with all creatures in the universe. He, on the other hand, is a complete alien, hardly even worthy of being called a mere human. Aliens... should be associated with aliens."

Taking advantage of her height, Kafka looked down at the singer in front of her.

"Ms. Mockingbird, you don't want the harmonious melody to be ruined just because of Jeramy, do you?"

Looking at the robin who remained silent and listened obediently to the end of her long speech, Kafka sighed inwardly and shook her head secretly.

Was he moved by his own words? This is not something difficult to understand.

Perhaps it was because the amount of information was too much and he hadn't fully digested it yet, or perhaps it was because his mission and identity did conflict with Jeremy's, or perhaps he simply felt it was not worth it.

Even if the singer in front of her was shaken by her long speech, it was not difficult for Kafka to understand.

It’s a pity for Jeremy. It seems that I am the one who broke up their relationship. I hope he won’t hold a grudge against me.

But this is not entirely a bad thing. If that guy never recovers from this, maybe Ah Xing can take advantage of the opportunity. After all, a young man who has been heartbroken always needs comfort.

The two little guys have a good relationship and their personalities are compatible. Although they are not so much best friends as they don't treat each other as human beings at all, it seems that it is not bad for them to just keep playing and fighting like this.

Just make do.

"...Ms. Kafka, are you finished?"

After a moment's silence, the robin, having made sure Kafka had finished her speech, spoke softly.

"If there's nothing more information you can tell me about Mr. Jeramy, could you please leave? I still need to contact my family and ask for timely support for Liumeng Reef."

Looking at Kafkana's eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of purple mist, the robin's gaze was sharp and did not give in at all.

She rarely showed such a sharp side, but something Kafka had just said did indeed anger this usually gentle singer.

At this moment, her sense of oppression was even deeper than that of the notorious Kafka.

"As for leaving Mr. Jeramy... I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"This is Pinocchio. I'm the most outstanding singer here, the tuner of the Oak family, and the son of Harmony whom Hippie looked down upon. I... am the master here. Every blade of grass and every tree on this grand event star belongs to me. This is the same as the lead singer of the Harmony Ceremony, and Mr. Jeramy is no exception."

He spread out his white palms, then slowly closed them.

In front of Kafka, the robin didn't have to force himself to maintain that gentle appearance.

In other words, since Jeremy was not around, she didn't need to suppress her strange emotions.

At this moment, the usually gentle and elegant Universal Singer looked even tougher than his brother.

"If we can't embrace everything, a paradise where everyone agrees is nothing but a superficial boast. Even if Mr. Jeramy is truly an outlier, I will accept him. The paradise I want to build will have room for him."

"He is the most important audience member in my Wanlai Theater. No matter what, I will not allow him to leave me, nor will I let anyone hurt him. Otherwise, Constantina, the chorus of the Wanlai Theater, will pluck her own strings, and some noisy noise will be added to the harmony."

The robin twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a possessive smile as he looked at Kafka in front of him.

Many times, she is gentle, friendly, reserved and non-competitive because her naturally generous character allows her to tolerate many things.

But losing Jeremy was something that Robin could never tolerate.

No one can take Mr. Jeramy away from Pinocchio, not even the woman in front of him who claims to be Mr. Jeramy's guardian.

If Mr. Jeramy is really the company's commercial spy, then it would be a coincidence, and I would have a reason to detain him permanently.

Seeing the Universal Singer suddenly change from being gentle and calm to being bold and domineering, Kafka was slightly stunned, then smiled.

It seemed that she had misjudged him just now. This universal singer was even better than she had imagined.

However, this kind of possessiveness...Jerami, you'll just have to fend for yourself from now on.

"Since you've made up your mind, I have no reason to stop you. Breaking up a couple is not my style."

Putting her gloves back on, Kafka made way.

"Let's go find him after we finish contacting the family. We just used the cornerstone to support the skylight. Even with his special physique, he might not be able to withstand it easily. Maybe now is the time to comfort him."

"By the way, don't tell Jeremy you've seen me. He's always felt guilty about me being infected by the shadow of nothingness, and he's not ready to face me right now."

Volume 84: King Armor Weapon - Spider Walker

Under the night sky of Liumeng Reef, Jeramy sat on the wall of a rooftop, watching the residents of Liumeng Reef gather hurriedly but orderly to the Time Slot Square under the command of Gallagher.

The never-ending evening breeze blew the corners of his clothes, slightly lifting the white shawl on his shoulders, revealing the golden inner surface.

Looking up at the sky that he had restored to its original state, the starlight was reflected in Jeremy's eyes, and it seemed as if everything was as peaceful as usual.

However, through the false starry sky, Jeremy could see countless swarms of real stinging insects attacking the sky non-stop. Even if the cornerstone was liberated to erect a barrier, it would probably not last long.

Light footsteps were heard from behind, and the blue-purple singer walked behind Jeremy.

Thinking back to what Kafka had just said to him, the robin pursed his lips and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Jeramy, I've contacted my brother. The family's dream builders are currently constructing a passage to the Dream Reef, but because of the barrier that suddenly popped up, they can't get in for the time being."

"Don't worry, once both sides are ready, I will remove the barrier. As for those stinging insects that take advantage of the opportunity to get in... I will take care of them."

Holding the venom spray gun left by his mother in his right hand, Jeremy took a last look at the sky above his head, and his eyes gradually became firm.

I carry the heart of reproduction within me, and if the barrier is removed, I will be the first to bear the brunt.

And that would be the best time for others to evacuate.

"Mr. Jeramy..."

Being able to remove the glass-supported skylight, Jeremy's words and actions had almost exposed his identity, but at this moment, Mockingbird had no intention of delving into such trivial matters.

She could feel that the young man in white before her seemed to have made up his mind to do something dangerous.

"Are you planning to stay behind alone to cover the rear?"

No one asked why Jeremy was able to remove the glass-supported skylight. Even without Kafka's exposure, his words and actions had already revealed his identity.

But at this moment, the robin had no intention of dwelling on such trivial matters.

"I'm the most suitable person. There's no better way. Once this canopy is lifted, the insect swarm will definitely target me first. As long as you evacuate before I'm exhausted, you'll be safe."

Touching his heart, Jeremy's fingertips could clearly feel the presence of a certain crystal, which was exactly what the remnants of breeding desired most.

If I use myself as bait, I'm afraid the swarm of insects will swarm over like hungry wolves smelling blood.

Looking at Jeremy who put himself in danger without hesitation, Mockingbird pursed his lips, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

She didn't understand why Jeremy was willing to do so much for these people who strictly speaking had nothing to do with him.

She is the tuner of Pinoconi, and even though Liumengjiao has almost never been under the jurisdiction of the family, she has the obligation to protect it.

But what about Jeremy?

He has no connections with anyone here, and as a corporate spy, he should be in a hostile relationship with Pinocchio.

Why would he take on the most dangerous job without hesitation?

"Mr. Jeremy, why... do you always despise yourself so much? Your life is important too. If anything happens to you, I... Saturday will be sad."

In the middle of his words, the robin paused and forced the name Saturday into his words.

Although it was a bit awkward to do so, the robin always felt that Jeremy might pay more attention to Saturday's mood than his own opinion.

This feeling of not being as good as "myself" is really weird.

"Miss Saturday... I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. She must be very worried about us both disappearing suddenly."

Jeremy stroked the lines on the venom spray gun, and the evening breeze blew his emotions into the night.

I had clearly agreed to look for Xing's whereabouts first, but I turned around and hunted down her family, and fell into the Dream Reef with the robin.

I wonder what Miss Saturday would think if she knew about the bizarre experience they had.

In fact, Saturday is not worried at all, and even wants you to get closer to the robin.

Looking at Jeremy who seemed a little emotional, the robin shook the feathers behind his ears and secretly complained.

However, to Robin's surprise, Jeramie did not avoid his question by mentioning Saturday, but instead threw a counter-question at her.
