"Should I stop them?"
[Task: Escape from the interstellar pirates and save Qin Muyi.]
"Do I need to bring him with me?"
[Yes, Master. The plot won't go on without him.]
"Are there weapons inside the space button of the general that I can use?"
[Let me check, Master.]
A sword appeared in her hands. She immediately hid it inside her space button. Shang Ruoyan glanced at the man sleeping beside her and sighed.
I don't want to save someone from the Qin family who abandoned the original Shang Ruoyan and embarrassed her.
But I guess I have no choice.
The alarm system inside the starship suddenly blared, alarming everyone inside. Guards roamed the area, and military men hurried to secure the civilians. The lights were blinking abnormally. Then, a loud explosion was heard at the back of the ship.
"Yuebao, give me a map of the ship."
A map appeared on the holographic screen. Ruoyan memorized the route and kept sitting in a relaxed position. She was waiting for the rebels to enter the scene and create chaos. She pressed the acupoints of Qin Muyi beside her, and he fell into a deep sleep. Then, she transferred him into the sleeping storage.
"Don't move!"
"Move or die!"
The rebels had arrived on the scene.
"Yuebao, can you identify how strong they are?"
Yuebao sent the details, and they appeared on the holographic screen that only Shang Ruoyan could see. The highest person from the rebel team was only at B-peak level, whose almost reaching a breakthrough. It was enough for her to take down that man first, but she needed to stay low-key.
Someone was shot for struggling, and the crowd suddenly panicked and rushed in different directions. The military knew the situation was out of their control, so they chose to protect people in power who boarded the ship with Shang Ruoyan.
Shang Ruoyan hid her face and used a mask, and she slowly drifted with the crowd to get to the power user with the highest level in the rebel team. When she reached the hallway, she saw a woman and a man talking in hushed voices.
"You need to go back with me!"
"No, I won't go anywhere!"
"You need to go back with me, Feng Ruyi!"
Shang Ruoyan's eyes widened.
[Master, the heroine has appeared. Let's escape!]
"Yuebao, does she have enough power to turn over the situation? She's the heroine after all. So, there must be a way to save everyone on this ship, right?"
[Master, run!]
Shang Ruoyan hurried out of the hallway and hid herself.
"Who was the heroine tangled with?"
[Master, that's the fifth man under her skirt! The second commander of the Lightning Interstellar Pirates Guild.]
"She's really capable!"
Shang Ruoyan went to the monitoring system of the ship.
Several men were injured and unconscious on the ground. The rebels have seized the ship by controlling the monitoring system first and blocking all signals. Shang Ruoyan planned to infiltrate and take control of the monitoring room. Then, she would contact the nearest fleet for rescue.
When Shang Ruoyan reached the door, she knocked on it.
As the door opened, Shang Ruoyan used the sword in her hands and injured three people at once, then she made them unconscious. She locked the door and scanned the interior of the monitoring room.
"Yuebao, give me a manual on operating the monitoring system and tell me which military fleet is the nearest."
[Fourth Military Fleet.]
[General Wang Xinrui.]
[Operating and Monitoring System Manual - Opened.]
Shang Ruoyan read the manual as she was forced to operate the emergency system of the ship. She got control of the operating system at the same time and forcibly landed the ship on a barren planet. The rebels were panicked. They did not know why their plans deviated. Their task was to get all the valuables from the civilians and kill the VIPs.
Someone came to the door, but Shang Ruoyan did not care. With the emergency protocols active, none of the main panel doors would open unless given access by the people operating inside.
She sent a request for rescue to the nearest fleet.
She had witnessed how chaotic it was inside the ship. Several civilians and military personnel were injured. Some were killed ruthlessly.
"Yuebao, can you help speed up the arrival of the rescue request, send them to other fleets nearest after the Flourth Military Fleet."
Shang Ruoyan silently cleaned her traces and left the monitoring room.
Then, she hid herself. She was not strong enough to look for trouble. She did not have a big family to back her. She could not abuse her strength. So she decided to stay off the radar.
When the military arrived, several explosions and a heavy battle occurred. They were not expecting the rebels to be prepared for the trouble. The battle on the ship resulted in deaths and heavy casualties. But Shang Ruoyan felt uncertain about the outcome.
"Where is the heroine? Why did she not participate in the rescue? Don't tell me she was only bathed in filter and she lacked the skills to back her reputation?"
[Master, the heroine has already left the ship.]
"She left with the second commander of the enemy?"
[No, Master. She left with her other admirer.]
"Is that man a powerful player in the novel?"
[No, Master. But he is extremely rich.]
"So the plot is deviating from the original novel?"
[Yes, Master.]
"It won't be hard to change the ending."
When the military successfully subdued the rebels, several rescuers started to evacuate people. Shang Ruoyan blended silently and boarded the Fourth Fleet's warship.
She sat with the rest of the passengers, and the sleeping Qin Muyi appeared beside her.
The military was now investigating how the pirates took control of the ship.
"All the rebels who seized control of the monitoring room are heavily injured, but no one died. Someone must have taken action, but there were no records of the person invading the room. We suspect that the person did not want to be found."
"General, the records in the hallway were also erased for a few seconds."
"So, the person who sent the distress signal must be someone of high power."
"But General, we have checked the list of the names of the passengers and even the VIPs with high power levels. None of them left their places during the hostage."
"Let's keep the details confidential. We don't want to offend a powerhouse."
