"…………"
The airship shook violently for a moment, then stabilized.
This familiar feeling made Xia Shizhao, who was sleeping, open his eyes and laugh in exasperation.
Ge Shiyi, having removed her blindfold, sat up straight and looked at Xia Shizhao in a daze. "What's going on?"
"Maybe bandits have come..." Xia Shizhao said, speechless.
Day after day, she's the one who might never encounter an interstellar pirate in her entire life.
You can experience it twice while attending school.
Because the airship tickets they bought this time were quite expensive.
Xia Shizhao stood up and quickly scanned the passengers on the bus.
Of the more than one hundred people, at least half were people with a little money.
"Don't move, it's a robbery."
Dozens of people suddenly appeared, pointing guns at everyone inside the airship.
Xia Shizhao, who had covered his ears beforehand, found the airship deathly silent.
Everyone cooperated by leaving their positions, discarding their personal computers, and squatting in the aisle.
Xia Shizhao looked up and exclaimed, "Oh ho!"
Isn't this the Robin Hood-like Star Ocean Robbers, the great 'good robbers' who rob the rich to help the poor?
Of course, he is a good person to those who receive aid, but a robber to the rich.
No wonder the people on the airship were so calm; they generally don't care about their lives, they just want money. They're willing to spend a little money to save their lives.
Their reputation is much better than other bandits. They only rob, and they won't kill unless you anger them. Their management style is very orderly, and they are very strong, even comparable to specially trained interstellar armies.
Rumor has it that the leader of this bandit gang is a graduate of the Star Alliance Military Academy.
The person at the front had a blade of grass in his mouth, one hand in his pocket, and a bag in his other hand, shouting, "Come on, come on, take off all your valuable jewelry and throw it in here. Transfer all the money in your cards to the personal terminal of the person behind me. Men to the left, women to the right, body search. Stand still, no cutting in line."
Xia Shizhao's lips twitched slightly as he looked at this nonchalant girl.
"Zhao, don't be afraid, we'll just give them the money and they'll leave."
Ge Shiyi stood beside her and whispered.
Xia Shizhao nodded. Her black card was at home; this time she brought her own card.
There were only a few hundred thousand yuan in it, so I didn't feel bad about it.
Who is Xia Shizhao?
Suddenly, a sound came from the broadcasting studio.
Xia Shizhao was slightly startled.
They're after me?
Everyone remained silent; no one uttered a sound.
A soft laugh came from the broadcasting studio, "Ten seconds left, if you don't come out and kill one of them..."
Everyone panicked. The people in the front row, seeing the guns pointed at them, screamed in despair:
"Who is it! Come out! Are you trying to kill us?"
"If I die, it's your fault! Xia Shizhao, get out here right now!"
"Come out! Xia Shizhao, you come out here right now!"
No matter how much commotion they caused, Xia Shizhao remained silent.
A countdown began playing in the broadcasting studio.
"10"
"9"
“8”
...
“3”
“2”
Desperate screams and angry curses filled his ears. Xia Shizhao nudged Ge Shiyi, who was holding his hand tightly, to calm her down. He stood up, raised his hand, and said crisply, "I'm here."
"Bring it over."
After the person in the broadcasting studio finished speaking, a piercing beeping sound came through, and the microphone was turned off.
Two women politely approached her and said, "Miss Xia, let's go."
Xia Shizhao nodded. "Good job not forcing me to leave."
As she walked down the corridor, the people who had been shouting the loudest earlier stared at her with tears streaming down their faces and eyes full of resentment.
He pursed his lips, too lazy to say anything, and pushed open the door to the control room.
A woman in a dark blue military uniform crossed her legs, twirling a gun in her hand. She looked up at her and asked, "Xia Shizhao, is that you? Do you have any evidence?"
"Who would impersonate the person you want and willingly go to their death?"
"Yeah, you're right, that's really rude."
With a gun pointed at his head, Xia Shizhao still sat down in the chair next to him with a relaxed attitude, looking completely unconcerned.
He had a "Come on, kill me" look on his face.
"puff."
The woman chuckled and put her gun away. "I never expected the Star Alliance to raise a child with such a temperament as you."
"I never expected that a senior would become an interstellar pirate."
As he spoke, Xia Shizhao waved his hand dismissively.
Without anyone to coordinate with him, Xia Shizhao dared not make any rash moves.
The lives of everyone on the airship were in their hands; they could only wait for the army to rescue them.
"You can call me Sister Lan. Don't be nervous. I'm not here to kill you today. I just want to ask you for a favor."
"As long as the money is right, there's no need to go to such lengths."
"No way, I want to get it for free." He was unreasonable, but his tone was defiant.
"..." Xia Shizhao was speechless. "Shameless."
"I've already become a robber, what do I need to be ashamed of?"
Sister Lan handed her a bracelet. "Please wear this. If you don't, the people outside will die. Don't even think about waiting for someone to rescue you. We've jammed the signal, so they can't receive messages for the time being."
As she spoke, she handed the personal terminal to Xia Shizhao.
There is absolutely no signal.
Sister Lan casually rested her chin on her hand and asked in a relaxed tone, "So? Have you thought it over?"
Xia Shizhao clicked his tongue in annoyance. That was a mental energy interference device, used to prevent high-level alpha mental energy outbursts. "I'm a beta, surely that's not the case?"
Just in case.
Sister Lan looked at her meaningfully.
"If I go with you, will you let the people on this airship go?"
"Yes, after all, we don't like bloodshed, and we won't kill unless absolutely necessary."
Click.
Xia Shizhao put on the bracelet, then felt a sharp pain in his back. He looked at the person behind him in surprise, "I've already put it on, why are you still hitting me? Location..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was electrocuted and collapsed limply into Sister Lan's arms.
Sister Lan looked at her subordinate, who was scratching his head in embarrassment, with disdain: "I told you to watch less TV dramas. You're so quick to get shocked. Technology changes lives. If you were an enemy, you would be dead right now."
"...Who knew TV dramas were deceiving people?" the subordinate muttered under his breath, somewhat unconvinced.
"Your position is off," Sister Lan said, standing behind her. She chopped down with her hand, and the subordinate fainted with a thud.
A seemingly frail woman nearby exclaimed in surprise, "Boss!!! What are you doing!"
Lan Jie hoisted the unconscious Xia Shizhao onto her shoulder and laughed heartily, "Haha, we got him! Retreat! Have someone carry that idiot away. Remember to remove the invisibility device and turn on the autopilot so the airship doesn't crash."
"It's impossible not to pick them; those things are very valuable."
The frail woman pushed up her glasses, a sharp glint in her eyes. She looked at the man slumped on the ground, his crotch still wet, and kicked him with a hint of disgust. "Useless trash. I haven't even scared you much, and you've already passed out."
Otherwise, the autonomous driving equipment could be disassembled by itself.
All the passengers on the airship were tied up and thrown to the ground. Ge Shiyi's pupils constricted sharply when she saw Xia Shizhao being carried away, and she struggled frantically, shouting:
"Let her go!!! How much money do you want! I can give you whatever you want! I'm Ge Wu's granddaughter, I have money! Put her down!"
"It's a bit noisy."
Sister Lan picked at her ear. "I don't care about you for now. Let's knock him out and make our escape."
"yes!"
Ge Shiyi felt a little overwhelmed as she watched the person walking towards her. If she had listened to the arrangement and become a warrior in the mecha department, would the situation have been different?
She suddenly felt dizzy and fainted on the ground.
The others were also knocked unconscious one by one.
