Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Flight N-177.

Slightly sighed as he retrieved his gaze from the side window.

“Looks like they're not going to let me go home. ”

The side glanced at Professor Leonard, who had almost shrunk under the chair, and the ark was silent for a while, speaking to him in a voice only two people could hear.

“We have to find a way out of here. ”

“Escape? How do you plan to escape?” Professor Leonard glanced down his eyes and lowered his voice to ask, "Don't do anything stupid, they're just trying to make money, usually this kind of empty thief takes the ransom and releases people. ”

Looking at Professor Leonard, who was scared, the Ark gave him an emotional look at his ignorance.

“… I don't know what the 22nd century spacecraft was like, but looking at whether the thrusters should still be used as an electric push, there may be a difference in shipping lanes, but the flight logic and I shouldn't have changed much at that time. At current speeds and flight conditions, they are compressing the deceleration window period with life… I am not sure how much fuel is left, but it is already very difficult to slow down by 80%. ”

Especially from the thrust behind it, the civil transport ship, which doesn't know how much energy is left, is probably still moving at full speed.

Thinking about it, the ark had a headache.

He thinks it's a very troublesome insulated body. How did he get into this 22nd century? He ran into all the shit.

If only Wang Peng were here...

Looking at the trembling citizen of the Empire next to Cesar, the ark silently sighed in silence for a while.

Knowing that he couldn't count on this guy most of the time, he used his left index finger to open the cuff of his right hand by half an inch, revealing a compact bracelet, while observing the environment in the cabin and looking for a chance to save himself.

There are only two things that can be helped.

A magnetic slingshot with a reasonable amount of lethality, and a nitrogen shield that has not yet been used and does not know if it is working.

Em sent a biomimetic to barely count as a help, but at this point it's too far apart, standing by the luggage compartment as something between the luggage and the people.

And that guy is just a bodyguard sent by Em, not remotely controlled by Em. Faced with these armed to the teeth, the odds are unknown...

Just as the ark was thinking about how to break the line, a baby's cry suddenly sounded in the cabin.

It was the same cry that made him have a tight heart and suddenly mentioned the eyes of his voice.

“Shut it up. ”

With a hint of cruelty and impatience, the hijacker in the ship's compartment, dressed in an exoskeleton, cast a cold gaze at the woman holding the child.

The moment she looked at her, the woman's face suddenly lost its blood color and turned pale like cement ash.

“... I'm so sorry, son... he may be hungry. Me, me...”

With a stuttering voice, the woman looked at the hijacker and begged.

However, that crying voice did not restore some humanity to that ruthless gaze.

Instead, it gives off a beastly, cruel light.

“I'll give you 10 seconds to shut it up,” grinned brutally, the man lifted the gun slightly, pointing at the baby in her arms “or I'll help you. ”

The woman panicked and begged.

“No... I beg you, don't do this...”

“9.”

The countdown has begun, with a slight teasing tone.

And under pressure from that hijacker, the woman holding the child had panicked completely.

She covered her child's mouth so desperately that she tried to stop him from crying, but the more so, the louder the child's crying voice became.

Leonard's face was pale and his shaky lips seemed to be struggling with something.

After a struggle, however, the fear of death eventually triumphed over the sense of justice in his mind, and eventually he did nothing, just as the vast majority of people would make the choices at this time.

“Wait a minute! ”

At this point, a voice suddenly appeared next to him, and a girl with short, shoulder-length hair appearing to be of Chinese descent raised her hands and stood up in awe.

Almost as soon as he stood up, the hijacker pointed the gun at her.

And this motion also allowed everyone in the cabin to bring the heart up to their voices in fear that he would pull the trigger and let them see the flesh flying across the scene.

Fortunately, the hijacker had not fired, but the words he had spoken seemed to be just one thought away from the gun.

“You interrupted my countdown, and I hope you'd better ring for me. ”

“He's just a kid, so it only makes him cry more and more...” Fear notwithstanding, the girl said with a trembling voice, "Can I... calm him down? ”

The hijacker raised his eyebrows and seemed to think of something interesting, so he put a muzzle next to him.

The girl relieved herself, held the seat next to her, carefully walked to the woman holding the baby, gave her a reassuring look, and took the baby from her arms full of despair.

She tried to overcome her fears and calm herself down, holding the child in her arms, singing the lullabies softly and patting the beat gently on the swaddle with her hands.

Soon, the soft voice soothed the cry, the noise of the originally noisy baby was getting weaker and weaker, breathing back evenly and sleeping in the swaddle.

“Here.”

Giving the child back to the woman, the girl gave her a reluctant but reassuring smile.

“Your child… is adorable. ”

The woman looked at her with gratitude and swallowed.

“Thanks.”

“You're welcome, I just--”

The cough coming from the side interrupted this touching scene.

“Have you forgotten your current situation? ”

When I heard that, the girl was all stiff.

Looking back at the hijacker, and the gun to herself, she held the position of surrendering with her hands raised and said with a trembling voice.

“I don't mean to offend you… I'll be right back. ”

“Who told you to go back?” The hijacker had a cruel smile on his face, "you interrupted my penultimate account. ”

With that cruel smile on her face, the girl's heart was desperate, her lips trembling and she couldn't say a word.

The woman sitting next to her, holding the child, while trying to plead for help for her helper, looked at the bloodthirsty expression on the hijacker's face and couldn't say a word.

The hijacker grinned brutally, lifting the gun to the girl's forehead.

“I'll give you a chance to spare your life if you report exactly how many seconds have passed. ”

“Or think about it when you get down there. ”

How is that possible to answer?!

The girl trembled and sweated in front of her forehead.

I had a feeling what a bloody picture would be, and Professor Leonard, who had been watching from the beginning, couldn't help but close his eyes.

Yet, just when everyone had no doubt that the girl was finished, a buzzing softness came suddenly from the side.

There's no time for defense.

I can't even react.

The side of the hijacker's helmet made a crisp sound without warning.

It's like being draped there by a pointy hammer, and the flat helmet suddenly enters the entire recess from one side and comes out of the hole from the other.

The last words were too late to tell, and the hijacker was pushed aside and his head crooked, and he fell silently and silently to the ground.

The girl covered her mouth with her hands, restraining a scream that had almost burst into her voice.

Just when she had no idea exactly what had happened, not far from where she was, a handsome man sat up from his seat.

Just above his right wrist, a few metal balls about the size of half a peanut are cluttered around, as if held up by some invisible force field.

Looking at the descendants of the wooden chickens in the cabin, the ark gave them a reassuring smile and then made a silent gesture, walking next to the body and picking up the rifle that had fallen on the ground.

He wiggled it in his hand and looked back at Professor Leonard, walking back to him and asking.

“Do you know how this thing works? ”

His lips trembled and Professor Leonard squeezed a sentence out of his throat for a while.

“… the insurance is open, just pull the trigger. ”

“As it turns out, there seems to be no change in weapons. ”

“What are you doing? ”

“What else can we do besides get the ship back? ”

“... are you crazy? Do you know how many hijackers there are on board?” Professor Leonard stares at him with his eyes wide open, "you'll kill everyone! ”

The ark smiled lightly.

“Do you think if you don't do anything, you won't die? ”

At the current speed of the ship, these robbers had no intention of bringing them back alive.

If he wanted to choose a way of dying, he would rather choose a decent one.

Just as the ark was headed to the luggage compartment to wake up the imitator sent by Little Al, Russus stood in the cockpit and suddenly a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

On the screen, the crew marked number three, has turned gray.

At the same time, the voice of teammates was heard on the communication channel.

“Number three disconnected… cardiac function stopped. ”

“Got it," the index finger of his right hand gently pushed away the insurance, then mounted on the trigger, and Russus' smile gradually imprinted a bloodthirsty and cruel.

“Let me see which unsettled guy is messing around in the back...”
