The combined power of Zhou Zhou's sudden disappearance and the words he had just said obviously frightened the people present.
The two subordinates who were holding Zhou Zhou subconsciously wanted to catch him the moment Zhou Zhou disappeared, but they both caught nothing. They widened their eyes in shock, and the remaining touch on their palms made them realize that what had just happened was not an illusion.
Unable to help but take a step back, their eyes still searching around, the two of them were looking everywhere for any trace of Zhou Zhou. The others also looked around them suspiciously, with fear and disbelief evident in their eyes.
Alank didn't believe in ghosts, but a living person disappeared in front of his eyes. Such a scene was indeed very strange. The people in the cab seemed to have forgotten Alank's brutality for a moment. From time to time, someone shouted in panic, asking where the man had gone, and it was indeed a ghost.
He was extremely irritated, but also felt a little bit of fear. In the face of the unknown, even the seemingly fearless Alank couldn't help but feel awe.
Xia Yan was speechless for a moment. He was more rational than others. The current empire had clearly not yet developed technologies such as instant transfer, so where did Zhou Zhou go?
Zhou Zhou’s disappearance changed everyone’s mood. They were filled with fear, panic, and suspicion. All their thoughts revolved around him.
Zhou Zhou, who everyone was thinking about, unexpectedly appeared at the same place a few seconds later.
"grass!"
"There's a ghost!"
The crowd, who were caught off guard, quickly retreated. If they were still confused just now, they were now truly frightened.
Alank, who was closest to Zhou Zhou, almost fell down as he stepped back.
"Who the hell are you?" He shouted at Zhou Zhou in a stern voice.
"I……"
He had just said one word when he disappeared again.
After a few seconds it reappeared.
"certainly……"
It was as if the signal was intermittent. Zhou Zhou disappeared and reappeared, appeared and disappeared, back and forth several times, and couldn't even finish a sentence.
Looking at the group of people who were scared by him, Zhou Zhou felt a little amused and helpless, thinking that this was the achievement of his goal.
He now guessed that the reason for this situation was that the distance between him and the bracelet exceeded fifty meters.
But what was going on with the intermittent appearance? Was Al jumping back and forth across the fifty-meter-long wiring?
Uh...he thought Al wouldn't do such a thing.
Many people have retreated to the farthest place, looking at Zhou Zhou with awe and fear.
Unable to kill or catch, Zhou Zhou passively used the ability of the bracelet to make everyone present panic.
The few people closest to the exit suddenly ran towards the door. Now they no longer cared about Alank and only wanted to stay as far away from Zhou Zhou as possible. When the others saw them running away, they also wanted to run out along the edge of the room.
But when the first person reached the door, the cab door suddenly closed.
A password can be entered on the display screen on the right side of the door to unlock it. The first person who escaped hurriedly entered the password, but the door still did not open.
"What's going on? We can't get out!"
“Why can’t it be opened!”
Others pulled the person who was blocking the display screen away, but no matter how many times he tried, the door of the cab remained motionless.
More and more people gathered at the door, and found that the door could not be opened with the password, so they tried other methods, but the quality of this spaceship was obviously good, and the door could not be opened whether by bombardment or other means.
“Let us out!”
"Open the door!"
After trying in vain, Alank's subordinates banged on the door and shouted.
Suddenly someone thought of Zhou Zhou. Everything was fine before, but after this person got on the spaceship, strange things happened frequently. He must have done something!
"It's you!" someone pointed at Zhou Zhou and shouted.
"What?" Zhou Zhou was confused.
"You must have closed the door, wanting us to die here!"
Zhou Zhou felt wronged: "...I didn't do anything."
Apart from hiding in the beginning, he really did nothing, but these people obviously didn't believe him and scolded Zhou Zhou to open the door immediately.
After all, their hands were stained with blood, and the ferocious roars and curses of these people did look very threatening, but they still stood by the door and did not dare to move a step towards Zhou Zhou, so their threats lacked momentum, and instead looked like trapped beasts with nowhere to go.
The door of the cockpit could not be opened, and Alank realized the problem at the first time. Important areas on the spacecraft require a password to enter. Only when the spacecraft starts the safety mode will the password become invalid. All doors are locked, and only he knows how to turn on the safety mode.
This was originally set up to prevent a mutiny on the spacecraft, but now he clearly did nothing, so why was the safety mode activated?
Alank had no time to deal with Zhou Zhou and hurriedly looked for the cause in the spacecraft's system. He was suspicious by nature, so the most important control of the spacecraft was in his own hands and he never gave it to others.
Although he seems irritable and easily angered, Alank, as a former prince, has a deep understanding of the operation of the spacecraft. He has been hiding from place to place over the years and basically never leaves the spacecraft, so he is very familiar with the spacecraft like his own hands and feet.
But now, he actually lost control of the spacecraft.
Alank broke out in a cold sweat. How could this be possible? If he wanted to change control, he had to get the consent of the original owner, but now he had done nothing! Why lose control!
With trembling fingers, Alank clicked on the screen faster. He wanted to rely on his past experience to regain control of the spacecraft, but he could not succeed no matter what. What's more, the spacecraft was even automatically trying to connect to the interstellar network.
His movements were filled with a hint of impatience, as if he wanted to pierce the screen with such force that even Xia Yan couldn't help but look over at him several times.
At this moment, Alank did not show his emotions as usual, although he knew that as long as the spacecraft was connected to the interstellar network, this unregistered large spacecraft would immediately be exposed to the official sight, and Zeus would be able to find his location through the interstellar network and take over the system of the invading spacecraft.
He has been hiding for so many years and is about to succeed. There is no way he can fail!
Alank thought angrily, Elvia has been caught...where is Elvia?
Alank suddenly raised his head, Alvia! It must be him!
Zhou Zhou was still explaining slowly: "I'm just standing here and doing nothing. Maybe you remembered the password wrong."
"Impossible! There's no way that all of us could have remembered it wrong. It was clearly fine before. You must have done something!"
Zhou Zhou argued seriously with the other party: "Think about it carefully, you were the ones who brought me in, and I have been under your sight since I came in, so how could I have time to do anything."
"Besides..." Zhou Zhou said as he took a step forward. A group of tall and strong desperadoes actually took a few steps back in panic.
Zhou Zhou pursed his lips and couldn't help wanting to laugh. Did he really look scary? Maybe he could go back to his old job and continue being an NPC in dungeons, and the romance NPC could be reemployed as a horror NPC, and the effect might be very good.
"Besides, this is your spaceship. Even if there is a problem with the password, you can still unlock it in other ways. Don't just look for me. I don't know how to unlock it. It's impossible for me to open the door with just my finger."
Zhou Zhou pointed at the door casually. He wanted to find out who had the ultimate control of the spacecraft through the reactions of these people. If that person was in the cockpit, he would try to control him. If he was not here, as long as he knew his name or appearance, he would have a chance to catch him later.
But when he finished speaking and pointed at the door, the locked door suddenly opened.
The people gathered at the door looked at Zhou Zhou even more strangely.
It’s indeed him!
Zhou Zhou raised his hands awkwardly. This was too much of a coincidence.
He quietly withdrew his hand, looked at the door suspiciously, and whispered, "Close the door."
The door actually closed again.
"open?"
The door, which had not yet completely closed, opened again.
Everyone present was certain that it was Zhou Zhou's doing. Even those who had been on this spaceship for many years had never seen such a scene: a door that could only be entered and exited with a password was opened and closed at will by an outsider.
Xia Yan also realized the abnormality. He naturally didn't think it was some kind of ghost story. Zhou Zhou could open the door at will. Could it be that he had control of the spacecraft? Xia Yan immediately looked at Alank and found that sweat was oozing from his forehead, and his fingers, which were tapping rapidly on the screen, were trembling slightly.
Control taken away?
Xia Yan knew that Elvia was very proficient in software systems and the like, and he was the only one who could do this. But he was clearly not in the control room or the cab, so how did he seize control?
Xia Yan couldn't figure out these questions, but that didn't stop him from knowing that Alank was no longer reliable.
He couldn't even keep control of the spaceship, and yet he wanted to capture Elvia. It seemed like he really chose the wrong person.
Xia Yan stretched one arm back and sent a signal where no one could see.
Only a few people thought of this. Most people still believed that Zhou Zhou must have done something. Thinking of the legends about this planet, they finally couldn't hold it back anymore. The first person jumped out when the door opened. His actions inspired others, and several people ran out of the cab immediately.
They were never very loyal to Alank and only followed him for the money. Now that they encountered such a strange thing, they were only thinking about saving their own lives. How could they care about him?
Alank didn't care about this group of people. He tried many times but failed to regain control. He finally panicked.
He began to regret not killing Elvia the first time, but it was too late to say anything now.
Now either escape immediately or take hostages and threaten Elvia.
But Zhou Zhou, the hostage, was too strange. No one knew what method he used to disappear at any time. This method was really unsafe.
If Alank was really a simple-minded fool, he would not have survived until now. After thinking for a while, he was ready to abandon the spaceship and escape, but giving up so easily was not his style.
Stopping his actions, Alank sneered, walked around Zhou Zhou steadily and headed towards the door. Several of his subordinates followed closely behind him. Xia Yan's eyes flashed slightly and he followed.
Zhou Zhou is impossible to kill and can disappear at will. To Alank, this person is of no use.
The door of the cab was closed at this time. Zhou Zhou had tried to see if he could really open and close the door at will, and found that it could really be controlled by sound. However, he still closed the door and would not open it no matter what others said.
Zhou Zhou, who was one of the few people who ran away at the beginning, was already very annoyed. What if they met Elvia when they went out? It would be better for them to be trapped here together. These people couldn’t do anything to him anyway.
But when Alank walked to the door, it opened without warning.
He clearly didn't say anything? Zhou Zhou looked over in confusion and happened to meet Elvia's eyes outside the door.
"Al!" Zhou Zhou immediately waved happily.
Elvia was standing at the door, and not far behind him was a group of people lying, the ones who had just run away.
After the door opened, Elvia's eyes first turned to Zhou Zhou. She glanced over him and found that he was intact. Then she looked at Alank in front of her.
The two men are obviously blood brothers, but they look completely different. One is tall and slender with a great appearance; the other is emaciated with a fierce look.
Alank stared at Elvia, but the other party just glanced at him indifferently.
In front of outsiders, Elvia always appears extremely cold, so this expression is normal. But this cold look made Alank very angry, as if in Elvia's eyes, he was just an insignificant mayfly and meant nothing to him.
"Elvia!"
Alank gritted his teeth and pronounced the other person's name. If it weren't for him, if it weren't for him, he would be the emperor of the empire now.
Over the years, he went to sleep with hatred every day. Everything he did was to return to the throne. He imagined countless times what kind of expression Elvia would have when he saw him next time they met.
Was it the mockery of the victor, or was he still afraid of him? No matter what the attitude was, it was definitely not like it was now, as if he was garbage on the side of the road, and it was very reluctant to even look at him.
Elvia had no interest in the other party's psychological activities. Now that he had control of the spaceship and the star network was connected, he was just waiting for Zeus to infiltrate all the addresses connected to this spaceship. These people were destined to be prisoners in prison and there was no evidence at all.
As for Alank, the sudden resurrection of a man who should have died long ago did surprise him, but since he had not died before, it was not too late to die now.
If it were before, he might still be in the mood to have a good "reminiscent" time with Alank, but now that he has control of the spaceship, he can leave the rest to Zeus. Now he just wants to stay with Zhou Zhou.
The opponent's contempt completely ignited Alank's hatred, and he suddenly took out the mecha.
The narrow space is not suitable for mecha combat. Alank's purpose of using the mecha is to deal with Elvia through the weapons of mass destruction installed on the mecha.
A beam of white light rushed towards Elvia in an instant.
The distance between the two was too close, and the people around them had no time to react.
Zhou Zhou ran towards the door the moment Alank took out the mecha, but his speed was still no match for the opponent. When the particle cannon exploded in the narrow space, countless people were knocked over by the air wave, and even several subordinates who were too close disappeared directly in the white light.
The rectangular gate melted into a circle, and the surrounding walls and ground were still flowing with boiling red liquid metal. It was impossible for anyone to survive such an attack.
Zhou Zhou was now just a projected energy body. He could not feel the huge air wave at all. He just ran towards the door anxiously.
While shouting Elvia's name, he looked for her in the smoke-filled surroundings.
After stepping out of the door that was melted into a circle, Zhou Zhou was suddenly grabbed by the arm.
Just as he was about to resist, Zhou Zhou suddenly realized something and followed the other person's hand.
"Al?"
"Um."
"You scared me to death, are you okay?"
The smoke cleared, revealing Alvia's figure, who looked unharmed. "It's okay. I used my mental power to block the attack."
Zhou Zhou finally felt relieved and looked around. He noticed that the mecha was gone, and Alank and Xia Yan had both disappeared.
“They ran away!”
Alvia had already seen that while attacking him, Alank was already preparing to escape.
After all, he is the person who is most familiar with this spaceship. The current exit is controlled by him, and Alank definitely knows other ways to leave.
"It's okay, don't worry, they can't run away."
Alvia remained calm. Apart from Zeus, he had other backup plans. Neither Alank nor Xia Yan could escape.
