📍 The Xianzhou Luofu Divination Commission

Qingque
Qingque
Just a heads up — please don't go running off once we're inside.
Qingque
Qingque
You may be the master diviner's guests, but she hates people who don't abide by rules and regulations, oh — and people who ask too many questions, not to mention... *sigh* Please don't push her buttons.

We're just here for the questioning. We'll leave as soon as it's over.

Enter the Divination Commission

Led by the messenger, Qingque, you arrive at the Divination Commission, which is responsible for calculation and information management in Xianzhou. The eaves of this building build upon each other like rising mountain peaks and exude an aura of mystique.
More mysterious still is the fact that the Commission's doors are shut and show no signs of being prepared for guests, and even Qingque is shut out despite being a staff member.

Hey! I know the food here sucks but that's no reason to shut the gate on our guests!

Maybe something happened inside?

No way — she's already demoted me to managing the repository. What else does she want from me?
Qingque
Qingque
Don't scare me! Master diviner wouldn't let anything bad happen on her watch.

There's no need to panic, okay? This isn't the only entrance into the Divination Commission. I know an emergency access.

Follow Qingque to the Divination Commission's side entrance

Miss Qingque, if you don't mind, may I take a look?

Huh? Oh, uh... no need. Actually I was just being polite, I don't see why not.

Let me show you — this thing is pretty fun.

Qingque
Qingque
Wow, you're amazing Mr. Yang! You handled that well for an outsider. I officially hand over the title of "keeper of the loafing gate" to you!

Go with Qingque to meet Fu Xuan

Though you are guests, you are now breaking down locks and gates like a group of thieves. However, there is no point in being polite when trouble is at your door.
The remaining diviners in the Divination Commission are all worried for their own skins. The variables brought by the Stellaron had far surpassed the limits of the Commission's calculation capacities. Now is the time to ask the master diviner about her plans.

Very well, then I'll keep this brief. The Divination Commission is currently understaffed. I need your help to restart the Matrix of Prescience's base terminals... and eliminate the Stellaron spirits along the way.

Help the Divination Commission to restart the Matrix of Prescience's three base terminals

Jing Yuan postulates that ordinary interrogations will not be effective in learning the true motive of the Stellaron Hunters. Such a goal can only be achieved using the computational algorithm named Matrix of Prescience in the Divination Commission, which can examine the past and future and calculate the truth.
Now, the three great base terminals of the Matrix of Prescience are once again in motion. All is ready for the "interrogation."

Restart the Temporal Terminal

Jing Yuan postulates that ordinary interrogations will not be effective in learning the true motive of the Stellaron Hunters. Such a goal can only be achieved using the computational algorithm named Matrix of Prescience in the Divination Commission, which can examine the past and future and calculate the truth.
However, the base terminals are currently out of commission and their talismans deactivated. Once again, Jing Yuan employs the stratagem of "Since You Are Here" to ask for your help.

It's been a while, my astral guests.

Jing Yuan
Thanks to you, the Luofu has successfully brought Kafka to justice... I am truly grateful — there hadn't been a single Stellaron Hunter arrest since the Interastral Peace Corporation issued their bounty. Hehe, this is a victory for the Xianzhou.
Options
So, are you guys and the IPC in direct competition?
Let's split this huge bounty 50/50.
You didn't give us the full picture of your plan for Kafka.
Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan
How can we compete when our paths diverge? The Alliance has taken an oath to hunt down undying abominations, while the IPC is dedicated to their "preservation." The Alliance and the Corporation occasionally work together, but ultimately, our ways are different.
Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan
Still, it's a pleasure for me to be able to say that the Xianzhou has captured a criminal wanted by the IPC, haha.
Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan
Still...
Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan
Once this is over and the Stellaron curse has been lifted, the Xianzhou will have no more use for Kafka. If you wish to claim the bounty, feel free to take her to the IPC — the Alliance has no interest in the IPC's reward.
Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan
Blade, on the other hand, is a wanted criminal for the Xianzhou — he must remain with us.

Fu Xuan's Matrix of Prescience was able to go one step further than Kafka. To maintain the upper hand, I had to keep it a surprise. I hope this hasn't made you doubt my sincerity?

At present, Kafka has no intention of speaking and the Stellaron Hunters' motives remain unknown. We must rely on the power of the Divination Commission to unearth the truth.

"Unearth the truth..." You mean interrogate Kafka with the Matrix of Prescience?
Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan
Precisely, the Matrix of Prescience is the Divination Commission's ultimate weapon. It was originally used to calculate navigation routes and predict future events...
Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan
...but the secrets of the Stellaron Hunters cannot remain hidden any longer. I have no choice but to move beyond conventional protocol — we must use divination to ascertain Kafka's intent.

Everything hinges on restoring the Matrix of Prescience, which is why I would like you to help Diviner Fu complete the setup. I am eternally grateful for your assistance.
