Chapter 163 The New Owner of the Opera House
The beam of particle energy fired from the gun instantly shattered the one-way glass screen of VIP Box Number One.
Sharp fragments rained down, and a few screams echoed from inside the private room before falling silent. This sudden turn of events silenced the other seven private rooms for a moment, before erupting into terrified cries.
"Ah! What's going on!"
"Guards! Where are the guards?!"
The once high-and-mighty guest's face turned panicked.
They rushed towards the exit of the private room in an attempt to escape, only to find that the alloy door was locked.
After the one-way glass in VIP Box shattered, the one-way view function of all VIP boxes simultaneously failed. The originally highly private VIP area was transformed into a completely transparent glass cage.
One terrified face after another was clearly exposed before Ning Shuyin's eyes.
Her gaze swept over each of the transparent private rooms.
The list of eight distinguished guests present today, their identities, and even the strength of their respective superpowers—this information, which the theater had gathered to ensure the safety of the game, was completely known to the reconnaissance unit dispatched by Kross.
At that moment, the gates of the opera house's passageways were opened, and the newly released girls filled the corners of the theater.
The character has been completely redeemed.
The hunter became the prey, and the honored guest became the prisoner.
The girls looked at the guests trapped in the transparent boxes, their eyes no longer filled with fear.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Ning Shuyin's voice rang out from the center of the stage, "the underground opera house will disappear from this star system starting today. This stage will usher in a new era."
As soon as she finished speaking, the stage trembled slightly.
Not only the stage, but the entire theater felt the tremor.
"What did you do?" the director asked in horror, as if he had guessed something. "Did you start the stage? How could that be!"
"Yes," Ning Shuyin calmly admitted.
A rumbling sound came from beneath their feet. Everyone felt a change in gravity. The entire circular theater, this luxurious yet sinful stage, was actually moving.
Actually, this opera house was never built on the planet's surface.
The opera house's foundation is a large, abandoned aircraft. Now, this aircraft has been activated and is taking off at extremely high speeds.
This is one of Kroos's abilities.
The mechanical royal family possesses a unique ability to interact with devices that have been implanted with specific control modules via bio-waves.
Last night, Ning Shuyin used her perception to thoroughly investigate the structure of the opera house.
Kloss's small robot infiltrated the main control core, implanted the control module, and repaired the major mechanical faults.
Now he can control the spaceship to take off simply by emitting bio-waves.
The only drawback to doing this is that it consumes a great deal of his energy.
At this moment, Klose, standing in the shadows of the stage, glanced at those ants he had no interest in at all.
He looked at the petite and elegant figure in the center of the stage.
This was his first mission after acknowledging God. His initial resistance and refusal were soothed by his subconscious obedience, making it feel somewhat unfamiliar and novel.
As the perfect creation of the mechanical race, every day after he came of age was spent executing the most efficient annihilation, a monotonous and repetitive task.
This time seems a little different.
She didn't let him turn this stage of evil to dust. Her request was unusual.
The VIPs in the crystal boxes, the theater owner and his henchmen, were ejected from the ship and thrown into the icy turbulent meteorite flow.
She brought these released girls together.
Some of the girls still had tear stains on their faces, their eyes filled with confusion. Others clenched their fists, looking at the new ship owner with unease.
“I know you’re all scared right now. If you want to go home, I’ll take you to Lilith Space Station 1. There are routes from there to the Alliance and other star systems outside the world.”
Ning Shuyin's sincere gaze quickly calmed the girls down.
She continued, "Once we arrive, everyone is free to leave and go home."
“I want to stay and follow you.” The girl who had shared food with Ning Shuyin spoke. “I have had no home since my family chose to sell me.”
"I'll stay too!"
"I have nowhere to go, and my family has been sold off. Please let me stay..."
One girl after another stepped forward.
After the girls confirmed their itinerary, Ning Shuyin began to consider the issue of money.
Whatever plans she wants to make next, she will need money.
She thought of the strange beasts that had brought them endless fear in those iron cages.
"Kross, go to G1 and sell the cargo on the ship for money."
"Yes, Master."
This flying opera house, carrying its new owners and first crew, embarks on its voyage.
Klose felt a faint sense of accomplishment.
He tried to analyze the source of this unusual emotional fluctuation. He concluded that it might be a positive incentive generated by the mental chains to make him a more efficient servant, to make him feel pleasure in serving his master.
Thinking of this, the chill around him intensified. To break free of the chains, he had to become stronger and find a way to cultivate more efficiently.
The newly named "Opera House" spacecraft is traveling at high speed through the sparse region of the Lilith asteroid belt, heading towards star G1.
...
At this very moment, on Planet A.
On the VIP helipad on the top floor of the Royal Hospital, the Mirage sped up and then came to an abrupt stop, creating a gust of air.
The hatch opened.
Zhou Zhiheng was wearing a black trench coat, and his beautiful purple eyes were filled with suppressed impatience.
"Hello sir, may I ask...?" The shuttle operator was startled by the imposing manner and was about to step forward to greet him.
Zhou Zhiheng seemed not to hear him at all, and continued walking towards the hospital's internal entrance without stopping.
The senior manager at the reception desk immediately noticed the commotion. He rushed over to greet him: "Chairman, hello! Long time no see..."
"Where is Loran?" Zhou Zhiheng interrupted abruptly, his tone unfriendly.
"Dr. Lorraine is in his office. But he has instructed that he will not receive visitors today."
Zhou Zhiheng strode forward, completely ignoring any attempts to stop him. When he reached the door of that familiar office, he raised his hand and banged on it loudly.
With a final thud, he smashed the office's alloy door to the ground.
"Zhou Zhi, didn't anyone teach you what manners are?" Luo Lan's cold and displeased voice rang out.
Zhou Zhiheng glanced around and found that he wasn't the only one in Luo Lan's office.
Situ Linchen was also there.
Both men, dressed in light underwear, sat in medical chairs with their sleeves rolled up. An automatic injector was slowly injecting blue medicine into their arms.
Zhou Zhiheng's brows were furrowed tightly.
There was a tacit understanding between the two that he couldn't quite grasp, as if they were keeping some secret together.
When Luo Lan saw Zhou Zhiheng, who had come uninvited, she merely glanced at him indifferently before looking away, her expression neither warm nor cold.
When Situ Linchen saw him, his dark eyes flickered: "What are you doing here?"
"What am I here for?" Zhou Zhiheng sneered. "I'm here to ask why the remains of those three assault ships were examined at your Royal Hospital for three days, but the results were kept secret."
