Chapter 439
This world has experienced a cultural break; there is no concept of reincarnation, nor is there the word "soul."
Therefore, these words can only have come from the classic text jointly written by Lingwu and Nuwa.
The camera wasn't pointed at Ling Wu herself.
It was aimed only at the yellow sand flying everywhere and the prisoners with duct tape over their mouths.
Their eyes still held disbelief at their "mother's" betrayal.
Then, all the audience members heard a woman laugh.
"Soul?" Her voice rose slightly at the end, but there was no doubt in her tone; rather, she seemed slightly surprised.
The sound was extremely pleasant, like a clear spring flowing in the desert, making it irresistible.
"Yes~ it's about the soul. This comes from the Yu family's classic texts. If you'd like to hear about it, I can explain it to you, but it's not convenient to talk here, so... I'll message you privately. By the way~ who are you, sister?"
"Nanbudu underwent a sex change? That can't be right. If he did, his voice wouldn't have become so pleasant all of a sudden."
"Aww, my dream has come true! I finally have a new host! This voice is so beautiful, it can lull me to sleep~ But why hasn't the name been changed yet?"
Suddenly, the tilde (~) appeared more and more frequently in the comments section.
Seeing that they had gone astray, Ling Wu could only walk past a row of prisoners in her combat boots before speaking:
Does anyone know them?
"Aww, big sister~ Look at me [shy.JPG] Even though I don't know them, just say the word and I can go and pull their underwear off right now~"
“…” Ling Wu didn’t say anything more, but bent down and tore the tape out of the prisoner’s mouth.
In the prisoner's bloodshot eyes, he raised his gun and aimed it at the prisoner's temple.
The comments section was still filled with laughter:
"Sister's hands are so beautiful~ Sister, look at me! I can do it! I can 'die' under your gun too~"
"Is this an act? A big star from Planet Blue? But Nanbudu was a star too, so it's normal for a live stream to choose a star after he died. It's just a pity it wasn't Miss Yu, but I think I can handle that voice again!"
"Sister, you're so cool! You can point a gun at me~ I can also be your pet~"
"This actor who plays the 'prisoner' is so dedicated! If I met a beautiful and sweet-voiced woman, I would definitely blush. But this guy's face is full of fear."
Lingwu stared at the prisoner.
The other person's eyes were indeed filled with fear, and when combined with their pale cheeks and bloodless, dry lips, a terrifying sense of impending death was palpable.
She ignored the laughter and jokes in the comments section and offered no further explanation.
He simply asked the prisoner in a gentle tone, "Tell me your name and where you live."
The prisoner remained silent. Lingwu sighed softly, then called out to Nuwa, "Nuwa."
The female robot responded gently, "Understood."
The next second, under the watchful eyes of the entire live stream, the prisoner was injected with a drug, and then his body trembled and his eyes rolled back.
One needle, and the prisoner remained silent.
After the second needle, the prisoner gasped for breath.
Three needles, and the captive bleeds from all seven orifices.
When the fourth injection was administered, the prisoner finally couldn't take it anymore and spoke up on his own:
“I, I… my name is Ondus Here, from number 528, 58th Street, Sector 3, Planet Z-528, currently serving in the Imperial Army.”
The laughter and chatter in the live chat stopped abruptly.
Gradually becoming more serious:
"So, even Earth is starting to make movies about planetary invasion now?"
"But sister, this kind of subject matter, which alludes to the invasion of the Imperial Planet and insults Imperial officers, will get you a summons from the Imperial Court. The consequences could be severe enough to enslave the entire planet's citizens. So sister, please don't film this kind of content; it's very dangerous!"
Ling Wu glanced at the comments and ignored them.
Amidst the barrage of messages urging himself to calm down, he pulled the trigger of the gun pressed against the prisoner's sun acupoint.
"Click—"
"Bang--"
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, each drop of red liquid being carried by the yellow sand, rolling several centimeters on the ground before being completely submerged in the gravel.
The prisoner's head lolled to the side and he collapsed.
"Take off his bracelet," the woman on the other end of the screen instructed.
A robotic arm appeared and removed the bracelet.
Those hands, praised by the audience for their beauty, then accepted the bracelet.
Without keeping everyone in suspense, he turned on the bracelet, pointed it at the screen, and announced the prisoner's information.
"I have to say, this production team is really excellent... Wait a minute!"
"Damn it, I'm in Zone 3 of Planet Z-528. Everyone wait a minute, I'm going to go check it out right now! Give me three minutes!"
Lingwu tossed the bracelet down; the silver, shimmering bracelet sank into the sand without making a sound.
Immediately following was a cold statement: "This is the first shot."
The live stream was then shut down.
In the darkened live stream room, countless viewers felt their hearts skip a beat.
Countless posts appeared on the StarNet instantly.
#Imperial troops captured!#
#In-depth analysis of the meaning of "the first shot"#
#Livestream lost on Planet Blue was hijacked by terrorists#
#The person whose head was split open was from the Empire's elite troops!#
#The victim's information is accurate!#
The viral news stories sprang up like mushrooms after rain, one after another, and no matter how much they were deleted, they couldn't be erased.
At that moment, Lingwu tucked the gun away and bent down to wipe the artificial blood off the prisoner who had just been shot.
While waiting for the prisoners to regain consciousness, Ling Wu ordered Jiang Huixiao to leave.
"I want to stay by your side and help you expand your territory," Jiang Huixiao said sincerely.
Ling Wu ignored his roundabout questions and met his gaze. "Minister Jiang, do you want to expand my territory, or are you worried that after a defeat, you will be executed when you return to the Imperial Star?"
One sentence made Jiang Huixiao slightly embarrassed.
Facing that face that was utterly repulsive in her memory, Ling Wu remained expressionless. "I can let you live, and once we go back, you'll only need to suffer a little physical pain to rise to the top. Are you willing?"
It would be a lie for Jiang Huixiao to say he wasn't tempted. He had been in this position for over a decade, and with just a little physical pain, he could rise to the top. He wanted to seize this opportunity more than anyone else!
“Please speak!” He nodded.
Lingwu handed him the safe that Nuwa had given her, saying, "There are three potions inside. Whether you can rise to prominence depends on how strong the person who is injected with them is."
After a struggle with his conscience, Jiang Huixiao finally decided to accept the offer.
Nuwa then began to supplement his knowledge of medicine.
Before leaving, Ling Wu personally escorted him onto the starship, then pointed to her forehead.
Feeling puzzled, Jiang Huixiao silently touched his forehead.
The moment his hand touched her forehead, he understood what Ling Wu meant.
Here is a chip that will self-destruct if it dares to betray the Blue Planet!
Therefore, he only ever had one path.
That means the chip can only be injected into the brains of more capable people.
Besides that, there is only death.
Beneath the starship, Ling Wu removed her fully enclosed helmet, revealing a face even more beautiful and deadly than that of a pure-blooded human.
Then he raised his hand and waved gently at Jiang Huixiao.
Ling Wu opened her lips and said, "Minister Jiang, goodbye."
Jiang Huixiao, his back soaked with cold sweat, stiffly forced a smile and replied, "Goodbye, Miss Yu."
