The time difference between the biochemical world and the continent of Semlia was obviously quite large. When Fang Zheng brought the excited girls to New York again, it was already Christmas Eve. The entire New York City was covered with snow, and the climate was cold and dry.
But this was nothing to the girls. Looking at the city in front of them, which was completely different from their own world, was enough to make them ignore the cold wind.
Fang Zheng did not let these girls stay in a hotel. He had already transferred some money from the FBI and bought an apartment on Manhattan Island for accommodation. Of course, in order to avoid attracting police, Fang Zheng still asked the girls to put their weapons in musical instrument boxes to disguise them. Although it was common in Semlia, if you saw a group of girls walking on the street with various weapons in the United States, you would be called in by the police for questioning.
On the contrary, if you carry musical instruments on your back, it will only give people the feeling of a symphony orchestra.
Fortunately, this off-campus trip went smoothly.
From the beginning, they visited the Twin Towers, the Statue of Liberty, and Times Square, and they did not encounter any trouble along the way. Only when they went to Brooklyn, they were slightly intercepted by local gangsters and robbers... The result is naturally needless to say.
After all, the physical fitness of people in the two worlds is different. Girls like Laura who are good at martial arts can even seize the opponent's weapons before the opponent shoots. Even girls like Alfin and Miaojie can easily dodge the opponent's shooting - how to say it, although it cannot be seen on the surface, the physical fitness of people in the continent of Semlia is more than one level higher than that of ordinary earthlings.
This reminded Fang Zheng of a science fiction novel he had read before, which described a story about Earthlings landing on the moon and then fighting with the local moonlings. According to the setting of that story, because the gravity of the earth is much greater than that of the moon, an ordinary Earthling on the moon is like a superman or a strongman, able to jump tens of meters high and lift huge moon rocks at will.
However, those moon people, born in a low-gravity environment, were completely unable to resist this powerful force, and were eventually defeated by the earthlings and fled in panic.
Now it seems that the gap between the continent of Semlia and the Earth is a bit like this.
Even Qiya, a girl who looks weak, is agile when facing the Earthlings, and can easily dodge their attacks... Of course, considering Qiya's identity as Zero's Treasure, she is not an ordinary person.
Overall, the girls were very satisfied with this field trip, and next up was the opera on Christmas Eve.
Soon, three days passed in a flash, and in the evening of the third day, the girls wore uniforms and carried their instrument boxes to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York to enjoy the opera that was about to be performed there.
Perhaps because it was Christmas Eve, the opera house was full of people, but fortunately Fang Zheng had prepared and purchased group tickets for the VIP seats, so the girls did not have to squeeze with others, but went directly to the seats in the middle of the second floor through the VIP channel.
"I wonder what opera in another world would be like."
Sitting on the chair, Princess Elfin also stared at the stage with great interest. She had also visited a lot in New York in the past three days, but because most of the things were very new and had no comparison with the Empire, she just watched them for the sake of novelty. But opera was different. After all, in the continent of Semlia, opera was currently the most popular form of performance, and as a member of the royal family, Princess Elfin had certainly watched a lot of opera.
Compared to other things she couldn't explain, Elfin believed that she had certain standards for judging opera.
"Opera is so boring. I'd rather play games... I almost fall asleep when I hear people singing..."
Ling yawned and showed a bored expression. Just like some people like to listen to Peking opera while others think it is like the screams of ghosts, not everyone likes opera. To be honest, if it weren't for this "group activity", Ling would have stayed in the bedroom of the apartment and played online games with Tita, Tio and Qia.
In Ling's opinion, it was really stupid for so many people to gather in the theater and watch another group of people running, jumping, singing and dancing. Anyway, she didn't like it very much. With this time, Ling might as well write a few more lines of code or make some interesting games to play. After all, although they occupied Crossbell and became a completely independent country, Starlight Technology still maintained the momentum of releasing new games... There are still many fun games waiting for her.
"This is my first time watching an opera. I wonder if it will be interesting."
Qiya curiously poked her head out and looked at the stage below, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. After all, she was still a child, and she was basically in school on weekdays. As for the theater, it was for adults after all. Fang Zheng had no interest in it, and other people rarely went there, so Qiya naturally couldn't go alone.
Therefore, she is still very much looking forward to this opera.
"beep……"
At the same time, as the bell rang, the lights in the entire theater dimmed, and then the red curtain gradually opened, and the performance officially began.
Fang Zheng didn't really watch opera, so he sat on a chair beside him, watching the performance in front of him bored. At present, to put it simply, this opera was just a clichéd story, about a prince falling in love with a woman, and the king accused the woman of being a witch and wanted to have her burned to death... Well, this kind of story was not uncommon, of course, in the eyes of the girl from the continent of Semlia, it was quite ridiculous.
"I don't know what the king is thinking. If that woman really has magic power, she can protect herself. Ordinary fire can't burn her to death."
Seeing this, Lisha couldn't help but complain, and Liz next to her also frowned.
"The goddess will not let off such despicable and evil people who abuse the name of God to commit their own foolish acts!"
“…”
How should I put it? I feel like listening to them chatting is more interesting than the opera.
Fang Zheng has silently decided that after returning this time, he will ask each of them to write a 1,000-word review of the movie... Well, this is also an old routine.
At this moment, the drama is also going on on the stage below.
"She's a witch, guards, burn her at the stake!"
Following the king's order, the guards stepped forward, and the prince stepped forward to stop them, raising his hands in pain.
“Father! If you must kill her…please allow me to die with her…!!”
Then he saw a woman in a bright red dress walk up to the prince and ask him to stand up. Then the woman turned around and began to sing.
“It sounds really nice…”
Listening to the woman's singing, Alfin and Miaojie showed intoxicated expressions, but Ling and Tio were obviously unmoved.
"What's so good about this screaming thing?"
“I want to go back and play games…”
However, at this moment, suddenly, an unexpected scene happened.
As the girl was singing, the prince and the king standing beside her suddenly burst into flames. They struggled to move back and fell to the ground. The girl was not moved at all and continued to sing.
"Hey? Now it seems to be a little interesting. Is this woman really a witch?"
"Then why did she burn the prince to death? Didn't the prince truly love her?"
For the girls from the continent of Semlia, this was not a strange thing, but at the same time, Fang Zheng realized that something was wrong.
This is not a performance!
Those people are really on fire!
Could this be the legendary spontaneous human combustion?
Just when Fang Zheng was extremely puzzled, he saw the prince, who had been completely engulfed by flames, staggering forward, then falling off the stage and into the audience. For a moment, there was chaos below, and not only that, Fang Zheng also saw that other places around him were also starting to catch fire.
What is this? Spontaneous combustion?
"Instructor, something seems to be wrong."
At this moment, Altina walked to Fang Zheng's side and whispered, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"I saw it... Don't move! Everyone, stay calm!"
At this moment, the other girls also realized that this was not a performance, and they immediately became nervous. However, after hearing Fang Zheng's shouting, they quickly calmed down and looked around. At this moment, the entire theater was filled with flames and screams. A large number of audience members fled outside, and more people started to catch fire on the spot. Not long after, the entire theater suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
"Altina, Liz, take the others and evacuate first. Go back to the apartment immediately."
Seeing this, Fang Zheng also made a decisive decision. He didn't know what was going on. If this was some kind of magic or superpower, then he shouldn't be able to feel anything at all. However, the scene in front of him was indeed strange and abnormal. Just in case, Fang Zheng ordered the others to retreat immediately.
"I understand, what about you, instructor?"
"I'm going to see what's going on. There must be something wrong with that woman!"
At this moment, most of the people in the theater had almost run away, and the remaining ones were basically burnt charcoal. Only the woman was still standing on the stage singing unmoved - Fang Zheng didn't believe that this was because she was as dedicated to her job as those musicians who risked their lives for the better.
After telling everyone else to leave, Fang Zheng leaped down from the second-floor auditorium and ran towards the stage.
He wanted to see what this woman was up to.
