Chapter 58 Escape from the Ice Sculpture Museum
Suddenly, Ning Shuyin felt a chill on her leg.
It was the succubus's tail that wrapped around it.
The heart-shaped tail tip climbs higher and higher.
It's over!
The remaining waiters who hadn't been unlocked formed a circle again, slowly approaching.
Having no other choice, Ning Shuyin directly sought help from the system.
"System, is there any way to teleport me away?"
[Host, the shop does have a one-time use item like this, but it costs 2000 points.]
As expected, I couldn't afford it.
"Is there anything I can afford that can solve my immediate problem?"
[Host, we are filtering for you...]
Three seconds later, two somewhat useless items popped up on the system interface.
[Schrödinger's Love Spray. Effect: Forcibly interferes with the target's hormone secretion for a short period of time, with a 50% chance of calming them down and a 50% chance of making them more excited. Price: 100 points.]
"What Schrödinger? This is just a gambling addict spray," Ning Shuyin complained.
[Palm Sonic Bomb. Effect: Releases a small-range sound wave that can cause temporary dizziness and tinnitus in the target. Minimal effect on professionally trained individuals; the host is immune. Price: 150 points.]
Looking at her pitiful balance of points, Ning Shuyin felt a pang of heartache.
"Exchange for sonic boom grenades, hurry up."
A small card, about the size of a coin, appeared in her hand.
Ning Shuyin clenched her fist and broke the card in half.
"Buzz!"
An invisible sound wave spread out from her center!
The effect was immediate.
Most of the waiters painfully covered their ears, suffering from tinnitus and dizziness.
"It's a success!" Ning Shuyin was overjoyed.
However, amidst the chaos, three figures merely frowned slightly, shook their heads, and then returned to normal.
Even more terrifying is—
The desire and obsession in their eyes faded, replaced by a chilling murderous intent.
The sonic boom grenade's area-of-effect attack acted like a sieve, filtering out the three professionally trained imposters.
Ning Shuyin realized: there was more than one assassin!
In the eyes of those three people, now that their identities had been exposed, they had to "clear the area."
Three figures, from three different directions, rushed towards her simultaneously like arrows released from a bow.
A strong sense of crisis made Ning Shuyin's hair stand on end.
Without thinking, she instinctively used all her strength to push away the dizzy boy beside her and rolled backward.
They narrowly avoided the attack.
The blade sliced through the sofa behind her, leaving three sizzling corrosion marks.
The knife was coated with a highly poisonous substance.
Ning Shuyin cursed Caesar a thousand times in her heart.
By this time, the succubi had gradually recovered from the sonic boom.
"What happened? Did they fight?"
"What's going on? It's murder! Help!"
"Don't pull me, your clothes are scratching my face."
The beast-eared boys were thrown into chaos, struggling to their feet as they tried to escape.
The private room was filled with screams.
The dragon-horned boy panicked and ran headlong into an assassin.
The puppy-like boy stumbled and ran towards Ning Shuyin, seemingly trying to take her away.
Looking at the chaotic scene, Ning Shuyin knew that there was room for maneuver.
She decisively unleashed her remaining supernatural power, rapidly scanning every corner of the room.
She needed to find a place to hide temporarily.
The perceived golden energy lines penetrated the powerless barrier.
She discovered that behind the ornate decorative lights on the ceiling were hidden special fire sprinklers. In addition, there was a ring of concealed metal mesh, like a cage.
Beneath the walls and floor, a dense network of wires converges on the main control panel. There, a power switch is wrapped in red insulation.
A thought flashed through my mind.
The first rule of interstellar law: I will not attack unless attacked. If attacked, I will retaliate.
Since it's a matter of life and death, why not just tear down the private room?
Ning Shuyin was glad that she had F-level combat power.
With a strength slightly greater than that of an average man, she stomped on the coffee table, used the momentum to leap, and vaulted onto the large round table on the side of the room.
"What is she going to do!"
"Grab her quickly!"
The assassins below cried out in alarm, dodging the succubi that were interfering with them, and lunged at her.
However, the shackles around their necks remained in place, severely limiting their speed and explosive power.
Ning Shuyin grabbed the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling and swung around—
It landed on the main console.
Without the slightest hesitation, she grabbed a metal bottle from beside her and smashed it hard against the weakest point on the control panel.
"Bang!"
The console cover cracked instantly.
Without hesitation, she slapped her hand down towards the power switch.
In an instant, the entire space went dark.
However, the emergency power outage can only last for a few seconds, and the backup power supply will start soon.
Ning Shuyin wanted to completely destroy the private room.
The metal bottle flipped in her hand.
The wine gushed out.
The control panel's protective shield was destroyed, exposing the wiring. Expensive, high-concentration alcohol was spilled all over it.
The next second, she casually tossed the bottle aside and, like a nimble cat, slipped out through the gap between the private room's partitions.
The darkness inside the private room lasted for less than a few seconds.
The backup power supply started up quickly.
In that instant, the control panel, which was soaked in alcohol, short-circuited.
"Sizzle!"
A piercing electrical hum emanated from the circuit.
Sparks flew everywhere.
The central security system triggered the security protocol immediately after detecting physical damage to the main control console.
The next instant, the decorative strips on the ceiling disappeared. Dozens of mechanical nets fell down, sealing off the entire private room.
When the fire sprinkler is turned on, it sprays out low-temperature gas instead of water.
The bodies of the 20 boys quickly froze into ice.
The assassin, who had just been threatening, was now frozen and in a sorry state.
Outside the private rooms, the labyrinth of Cupid's revelry continues.
Ning Shuyin leaned against the corridor wall, panting heavily.
The lingering fear of surviving the ordeal and the exhaustion from overusing his powers surged up in waves.
Caesar's seemingly cheerful and unrestrained face flashed into her mind.
What date? It was just a test.
They disregarded her life.
Just as she had initially judged, none of these dates were pleasant people.
It's not that she doesn't get angry.
But in the face of absolute power, her anger was useless.
But at least she escaped.
"System, is there any way to get back to Planet A?" Ning Shuyin took a breath and asked in her mind.
Searching...
[Host, the docks on Chaos Trading Star offer warp drive rental services. The rental fee to Star A is approximately 5 million star coins.]
Indeed, in the world of trading, money is everything.
Ning Shuyin quickly made a decision in her mind—her current goal was to make money!
"System, guide me to the market where I can sell the pandemic module."
[Host, we have retrieved the nearest trading market for you.]
The system listed three locations for her.
Ning Shuyin glanced at it quickly.
The Shadow Abyss Auction House sees record-breaking prices every week on average.
The Scepter Auction House operates on the principle of meritocracy. In case of disputes, a free arena is provided, and spectators are exempt from tea fees.
Raven's Nest auction house typically offers moderate prices. However, it boasts a top-tier reputation for zero fraud and grants sellers a high degree of autonomy. The most recent auction was held today.
"Let's go to this crow's nest."
Ning Shuyin slipped through the fire escape to the back door of the building.
Leaving the pink Cupid's labyrinth, she hurried toward the unknown black market, "Raven's Nest."
