Chapter 87: Interstellar First CommanderâVajra Lop-eared Rabbit
As the light dissipated, everyone opened their eyes and saw hundreds of transparent “Shadow People” appearing out of thin air in the center of the stage. Two of them were holding Isphine hostage, with pulse guns pressed tightly against her chin.
“Y-You… who are you?”
“Let me go, let me go quickly!”
Isphine tried to drive her Xinxisu, but it was useless.
“Dear idol lady, please don’t waste your precious S-grade Xinxisu anymore. It has no effect on robots. You should save some for Dr. Lauren to study.”
Laser cannons, robots, Dr. Lauren… these keywords all reminded Su Miantang of the Shadow Robots that had kidnapped Jun Chengyin.
Recently, he had reopened the case and showed her the files.
The “Shadow Robots” were an extremely evil organization. They targeted S-grade females, S-grade males, and even SS-grade males with special functions and excellent genes. They made plans to kidnap them and hand them over to their leader, Dr. Lauren, for genetic research and recombination. Their goal was to artificially create the world’s most perfect and powerful male and female Xinxisu or combat levels.
Back then, they had set their sights on Jun Chengyin’s innate double-pupil power. Now, they must have targeted Isphine’s nature-given voice.
Taking advantage of the war between Central Star and Planet X, which left the military strength depleted, they had locked their hijacking location here. First, they used laser cannons to temporarily blind everyone, then quickly kidnapped the target in broad daylightâthe exact same method used to take away Jun Chengyin.
“Let go of Miss Isphine!”
At the scene, several excellent A-grade combat male bodyguards rushed up to protect Isphine, but before they could get close to the shadow people, they were knocked unconscious by pulse guns.
As the gunshots rang out, the audience in the concert all panicked. They fled in all directions, crashing toward the doors, leaving Isphine on the stage in tears.
“Tangtang, run!”
Bai Weiwei only pulled her once before being quickly swept away by the crowded mob.
They were robots, uncontrolled by Xinxisu, and they held powerful weapons. One would likely be killed the moment they showed their head. Aside from escaping as quickly as possible and notifying Jun Chengyin to send people to investigate, there really seemed to be no better way.
Just as Su Miantang was about to turn around, she heard Isphine’s cry.
“Save me, save me…”
“Please, please, save me, okay?”
The mermaid’s voice did indeed seem to have a heart-bewitching power.
Hearing that desolate, pitiful, and sorrowful cry for help, she found herself unable to move her legs. She turned to look at the stage; the Shadow Robots had already put shackles on Isphine’s hands and feet.
Tears flowed down her beautiful and fragile face, turning into white pearls that fell despairingly to the ground, as if she had already foreseen her own tragic fate.
[That organizationâs members are extremely cold and cruel. They will unhesitatingly remove any part of your body. The beautiful become unrecognizable, and the talented become useless. Blindness, deafness, mental disability, loss of limbs… these are common. Some are even made into specimens and permanently soaked in formalin.]
[Once, they also wanted to dig out my double pupils, but they didn’t succeed. I escaped and became the only person to ever walk out of that experimental base alive.]
[But until now, no one knows the location of their base, the members, or their traces.]
Jun Chengyin’s words kept flashing through her mind.
Perhaps this kidnapping could provide some new clues for the case, or perhaps it would be in vain.
But Isphine’s fate was already predictable.
If no one saved her…
Su Miantang closed her eyes slightly and made a decision. A plan quickly formed in her mind.
After the Shadow Robots completely controlled Isphine, they opened the massive Super Canopy dome, summoned a starship, and released another laser cannon.
“Ahâ”
Amidst the screams of the crowd, they disappeared into the starship with Isphine. As they closed the hatch, they didn’t notice at all that the young girl, who had dropped “Void Essence” on herself, had also sneaked in.
Moon Comet Star.
The Yue family.
“Xian’er, youâre back?”
“Coincidentally, Mother is organizing some photos. Have a look!”
Duchess Hillary actively spread a pile of photos of high-quality females before her son, letting him choose.
“This is Clara, the youngest daughter of the President of the Interstellar Federal Bank, Faith. S-grade female, only 20 years old this year. She has grown up to be very beautiful. You met her at the last banquet; she came over specifically to offer a toast.”
“This is Berry, the younger sister of the Chief Justice of the Military Court, Ederson. Also an S-grade female. She has admired you for a long time and has visited our home four or five times.”
“This one is even more noble. Not only an S-grade female, but also the President’s own niece. Currently working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairsâa career-oriented female. I heard she often asks her superiors about you. Do you like her?”
She spoke incessantly for a long while, only to find her son simply unfastening his mecha helmet, tossing it aside carelessly, and then picking up an urgent intelligence report from his desk to read. He didn’t even glance at her photos.
“Xian’er.” She walked to his side dissatisfied and snatched the report. “You’re getting more and more disrespectful to your mother. You won’t even look at the photos.”
“Mother.” Yue Zhongxianâs long fingers rubbed his brow, his hard alloy faintly glinting with a charming, clear luster under the light. “Iâve said it many times: I don’t have a female I like yet.”
“You haven’t even looked, so how do you know you don’t like any of them?”
Duchess Hillary scolded, “I see you’ve grown used to being the ‘favored child of heaven.’ You’re always so arrogant. You don’t know how popular these top-tier excellent females are on other planets. Itâs just that our Moon Comet Star has more females, and it just so happens that all the excellent ones have set their sights on you, the Interstellar First Commander…”
“Take another look. There are all kinds here: charming, delicate, slender, plumpâevery type. I guarantee thereâs one youâll like.”
“Oh.”
Yue Zhongxian took the thick stack and, like dealing cards, quickly tossed them one by one. The plastic photos rubbed against his metal fingertips, making a pleasant sound.
“This one is too thin.”
“This one is too fat.”
“This one is too tall.”
“This one is too short.”
“This oneâs hair is too short.”
“This oneâs hair is too long…”
Beneath the steps, a dozen attendants were sweating profusely from exhaustion, barely keeping up with his speed to catch them.
Duchess Hillary initially thought he was carefully choosing, but after listening, she realized he was clearly playing.
“Xian’er, how old are you? Why are you still as mischievous as a child?”
“Mother, Iâm only 22. Iâm very young. Why are you in such a hurry?”
The corners of his sharp eyes curved slightly, as if he were handsome enough to emit an electric spark.
It made Duchess Hillary feel both pampering and helpless. “Your mother just feels she must have cultivated great fortune in her past life to be able to give birth to an SS-grade combat male for the herbivore clan, something unprecedented. Such excellent genes should naturally be passed on as early as possible.”
“Don’t you want to strengthen the Moon Comet Galaxy? Become the hegemon of the interstellar world?”
Through the method of reproduction?
Yue Zhongxian sneered.
Little rabbits really could breed.
“You don’t know, but I heard a miracle recently occurred in the Central Galaxy. An SSSS-grade female was bornâa supreme existence. I can’t even imagine how good it would be if she were on our Moon Comet Star. What high-quality genes and grades she would give birth to. Itâs a pity…”
As Duchess Hillary spoke, she suddenly thought of something and looked at him with a wary expression.
“By the way, I heard from your sister that an ‘unhealthy trend’ of preferring males has been spreading on the planet recently. You don’t like this female, and you don’t like that female. Could it be…”
“You also like males?”
Translator’s Note: Aha! New character alert! Yue Zhongxian (ćä¸äť) is a lop-eared rabbit! He’s the “Interstellar First Commander” and an SS-grade beastman. “Vajra” (éĺ) implies he’s incredibly tough. And the Duchess thinks he might be gay because he’s so picky? That’s hilarious! Also, Su Miantang is using “Void Essence” (č犺粞ĺ) to go invisible. Go Tangtang!
