NOVEL NEXT c30 - Sonic Attack
The winter sun was particularly gentle.
Beams of light descended from the sky, reflecting off the unmelted snow in the base area, casting a clean glow.
Shen Han was still patrolling with the same teammate as yesterday.
Shortly after leaving the duty room, Shen Han pulled her partner aside and said in a negotiating tone, “Brother Shi, can you switch posts with Ning Xi today?”
Not giving him a chance to refuse, Shen Han quickly explained, “It’s like this, she’s been in a bad mood lately, right? I just thought I’d keep her company and talk to her, try to cheer her up.”
“We’re all comrades. Brother Shi, you wouldn’t want to see her wither away day by day, would you?”
The Alpha called Shi was first stunned, then became suspicious.
He thought, you two are stuck together every day, do you really need this little bit of time from switching posts? You must be up to something again. I can’t let myself be tricked by you.
So, Shi put on a troubled expression and said, “The posts are all arranged by Instructor Liu. If we exchange privately, wouldn’t that be violating discipline?”
Shen Han thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, “How about I pay you some money?”
Shi’s eyes lit up, but he said, “I’m not that kind of person.”
“2000 yuan.”
“Alright then!”
The quick turnaround in his words made Shen Han’s teeth ache.
They transferred the money on the spot, and Shen Han waved towards the corner of the corridor.
Immediately after, Ning Xi, with a sneaky look on her face, ran over.
The two patrolled the entire foreign guest reception area along the road.
When passing by Prince Walker’s piano performance spot, Shen Han paused.
She stood in place, squinting and looking around, as if she was investigating, or perhaps admiring the snowy scenery of the area.
Ning Xi, exhaling misty breath beside her, asked softly, “Boss, are you really going to do this? If we get caught, won’t it turn into a diplomatic incident?”
After selecting the most satisfactory position, Shen Han led her companion to continue walking towards another patrol point.
As they walked, she said in an anguished tone, “Don’t you find that prince from the Jiying Empire annoying? Using his diplomatic status to come here and make a fuss every day.”
“This is where Her Majesty the Empress handles state affairs. His behavior is completely noise harassment. How can we pretend not to see or hear it?”
Ning Xi actually also disliked that self-proclaimed romantic foreign prince.
Because his expressions of admiration for the Empress were too obvious.
Moreover, using the convenience of his status for public confessions was a provocation to all the staff at the base.
It felt like he was saying: I have privileges you can’t even envy, I can pursue the one you look up to, you’re not happy about it, but what can you do?
Pulling back her wandering thoughts, Ning Xi also threw caution to the wind.
She clenched her fist at Shen Han and suggested, “Why don’t I quickly get you a speaker too? That way, the interference will be even greater.”
Shen Han patted the side of her military jacket, smiling mysteriously, “No need. The smaller this thing is, the higher its pitch.”
Time quickly arrived at 5 PM.
Winter daylight hours weren’t long, and there was already a hint of evening at this time.
The last rays of the setting sun slanted across the base, coating everything with a thin layer of golden light.
In the foreign guest reception area.
On a quiet and tidy small square.
Prince Walker was standing straight next to a piano, giving a very gentlemanly bow towards a certain window on the second floor not far away.
Although he didn’t know if Gu Junwan was still sitting by the window.
But he knew she was in that room.
That was enough!
The small square was covered with thick, soft white fur carpets, with an all-black piano placed on top.
Prince Walker sat down gracefully, his long fingers dancing over the keys, bringing forth beautiful and moving melodies.
Having differentiated as a B-class Alpha, Prince Walker was destined to be ineligible for the throne.
But he was of noble birth, handsome in appearance, and with his decent artistic talent, many noble Omega ladies in the Jiying Empire viewed him as the perfect lover.
And at this moment, this perfect lover of the Jiying Empire’s upper echelons was playing wholeheartedly for the goddess in his heart.
The desire to conquer is an innate gene in every Alpha.
Romance was Prince Walker’s most proficient weapon.
He just couldn’t believe that with his daily performances here, rain or shine, that Empress Omega’s heart would remain unmoved.
Expensive audio equipment amplified and projected the elegant piano music.
Melodies full of tenderness and admiration spread to every corner of the foreign guest reception area.
And at this moment.
A highly penetrating sound suddenly rang out.
The sound was loud and prolonged.
As soon as it appeared, it tore through all of Prince Walker’s music, leaving it in disarray.
Hearing that strange tone, Prince Walker was first stunned, then like a provoked lion, he immediately switched to a more passionate piece.
He also ordered the person controlling the audio to increase the volume.
Not far from the small square, in an office building, Shen Han was leaning against a window on the 7th floor.
She inwardly laughed coldly and intensified her playing of the instrument in her hand.
Ning Xi, while keeping watch for her, looked at the person on the windowsill with shock in her eyes.
In fact, from the moment Shen Han started playing through the open window, her mouth had remained wide open.
She had never known that such a small instrument could unleash such destructive power!
The sound was like a surging tide, directly sweeping across the entire base area.
It was impossible to tell where the source of the sound was coming from for a moment.
Shen Han had originally thought that not having played the suona for many years, it might be quite strenuous to play.
But to her surprise, her performance today surpassed any previous time.
Perhaps it was the Alpha bloodline of this world, superior to ordinary people.
Or perhaps it was Prince Walker’s actions that had stimulated her competitive nerve.
After completely crushing the prince’s piano sound, she wanted to roll over his face mercilessly.
On the small square, Prince Walker felt like he was about to collapse.
In his perception, he wasn’t facing a musical challenge, but was under sonic attack!
If it weren’t for not wanting to lose face in front of Gu Junwan, he would definitely have jumped up from the piano bench in a rage.
Then ordered everyone to mobilize and drag out that Alpha hiding in the shadows.
He didn’t believe such a hair-raising tone could come from an Omega or Beta.
Prince Walker’s hands were shaking.
It wasn’t clear if it was from anger or from being shaken by the sound waves.
Shen Han jumped back inside from the window ledge, but didn’t stop playing.
The suona, known as the rogue among instruments, didn’t earn its reputation for nothing.
To completely crush Prince Walker’s confidence, she changed her tune and continued to bombard the little piano prince not far away.
When the suona sounds, a cloth is laid, the whole village waits for the feast.
The coffin is lifted, the earth is filled, relatives and friends cry, never to return to this world!
Inside the elegant room where Gu Junwan was in the foreign guest reception area.
The envoys from the Jiying Empire were all in an uproar.
“What is this? Is it an enemy attack?”
“Guards, quickly go protect and guard Prince Walker!”
“Your Majesty, what’s going on? Why is there such a thing in your territory?”
“Heavens! Is this the legendary mysterious Eastern power?”
Hearing the commotion, Gu Junwan didn’t feel offended.
She gestured for everyone to calm down, then stood up and walked to the window.
Her golden phoenix eyes slowly scanned the area, but she didn’t spot the player.
She only saw Prince Walker, his face ashen, looking like he might be blown over by the sound waves at any moment.
For some reason, although the explosive and unfamiliar melody was stirring up a storm in the base, Gu Junwan didn’t feel the slightest bit angry.
Seeing Prince Walker finally unable to restrain himself and standing up in a rage, she even felt extremely refreshed.
The frustrations of the past few days seemed to have been washed away by those sound waves.
The corners of the Empress Omega’s lips unconsciously curled up slightly, looking incredibly alluring.
Assistant Xu Zhao coughed lightly beside her as a reminder.
After all, there were still many Jiying envoys in the room.
It wasn’t appropriate for the Empress to appear too pleased.
Gu Junwan suppressed her smile, and when she turned to face the people in the room, she had regained her original coldness and dignity.
Just as she was about to say a few words to stabilize the emotions of the envoys.
The mysterious melody outside the window also abruptly ceased at this moment.
This was, after all, the Federation government’s base. Gu Junwan still had to make a show of her stance publicly.
She blinked at Xu Zhao, then spoke, “Find the person who made that sound. Prince Walker and the envoys are honored guests of the Federation. We cannot show the slightest negligence.”
Xu Zhao immediately obeyed and left.
She had seen the Empress’s subtle gesture and understood the hidden meaning in her words.
She just needed to put on a show with her people later.
If the Empress truly wanted to catch that person, she would have directly mobilized the guards to do so.
In a room of the office building.
Ning Xi urged anxiously, “Quick, let’s go! I see people have already started searching around here.”
Shen Han hid the suona and nimbly closed the window back to its original position.
“What are you afraid of? Our duty today is also to patrol this area. Come on! Let’s go out and help with the search.”
Hearing her matter-of-fact tone.
Ning Xi suddenly felt that her psychological resilience needed more training.
The two moved quickly, soon blending into the search team.
They even caught a suspicious-looking person.
It was a Beta wearing butler’s attire, surrounded by a group of Alpha soldiers, looking like he was about to cry.
“I assure you, I’m not the person you’re looking for. I’m in charge of controlling the audio for Prince Walker.”
Shen Han spoke up to inquire, “What’s an audio technician doing here?”
The man replied with a dejected face, “I was following that strange sound.”
Shen Han and Ning Xi exchanged a covert glance, then asked him, “Did you discover anything?”
“No, I had just arrived when I ran into you all.”
Hearing this, Shen Han and Ning Xi both inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Xi stepped forward and slapped him on the head, feigning anger, “You didn’t find anything, yet you dare to talk nonsense! I think you’re just not being honest. Take him away!”
