The time difference between the Resident Evil world and the Semlia continent was clearly huge. When Fangzheng brought the excited girls to New York, it was already Christmas Eve. All of New York City was covered in snow, and the weather was cold and dry.
But this was nothing to the girls. Looking at the city in front of them that was completely different from their own world was enough for them to ignore the cold wind.
Fangzheng did not let the girls stay in a hotel. He had already transferred a sum of money from the FBI to buy an apartment in Manhattan as accommodation. Of course, in order to avoid causing a commotion, Fangzheng asked the girls to put their weapons in musical instrument cases as camouflage. Although this was common in Semriya, if a group of girls strolled on the street with all kinds of weapons in their hands in America, they would be called in for tea by the police.
On the contrary, if they carried musical instruments on their backs, they would only give people the feeling of a symphony orchestra.
Fortunately, this trip went smoothly.
From the beginning to visit the Twin Towers to the Statue of Liberty, and then to Times Square, they did not encounter any trouble along the way. Only when they went to Brooklyn did the girls get slightly intercepted by the local gangsters and robbers …. The result was obvious.
After all, the physical qualities of the people in the two worlds were different. Girls like Laura who studied martial arts could even seize the opponent's weapon before the opponent could open fire. Even girls like Elfen and Miao Jie could easily dodge the opponent's shots. Although it was not obvious on the surface, the average physical quality of the people of Semriya was more than one level higher than that of ordinary Earthlings.
This reminded Fangzheng of a sci-fi novel he had read before. It described the story of Earthlings who landed on the moon and then fought with the local people on the moon. According to the setting of the story, because the gravity of Earth far exceeded that of the moon, an ordinary Earthling on the moon was simply like a superman or a hercules. They could jump tens of meters high and lift huge moon rocks with their hands.
The people on the moon, because they were born in a low-gravity environment, were unable to resist such a powerful force. In the end, they were defeated by the Earthlings and fled like rats.
Now, it seemed that the gap between Semriya and Earth was a little similar.
Even a seemingly weak girl like Qiya was agile when facing the Earthlings. She could easily avoid the opponent's attack …. Of course, considering Qiya's identity as the Treasure of Zero, she was not an ordinary person.
All in all, the girls were very satisfied with this trip. Next up was the opera on Christmas Eve.
Soon, three days passed. On the evening of the third day, the girls came to the Metropolitan Theatre in New York in uniforms and musical instrument cases to enjoy the opera that was about to be performed here.
Perhaps it was because it was Christmas Eve, but the opera house was filled with people. Thankfully, Fangzheng was prepared. He had bought group tickets for the VIP seats, so the girls did not need to squeeze together with the others. Instead, they passed through the VIP passageway and went straight to the seats in the middle of the second floor.
"I wonder what the opera will be like in the other world."
Elfin, who was sitting in a chair, stared at the stage with great interest. She had toured a lot in New York in the past three days, but because most of the things there were new and could not be compared to the Empire, she was only interested in seeing something new. But opera was different. After all, opera was currently the most popular form of performance in Semriya. As a member of the royal family, Elfin had of course seen many operas.
Compared to other things that she could not describe, Elphine believed that she had a certain standard for judging opera.
"Opera is too boring. I want to play games more …. I'm falling asleep listening to people singing those things …."
Ling yawned and revealed a bored expression. Just like how some people liked listening to Peking Opera, some people thought it was a ghost's scream, not everyone liked something like opera. To be honest, if this was not a "group activity", Ling would have been playing online games with Tita, Tio and Qiya in the bedroom of her apartment.
In Ling's opinion, it was stupid for so many people to gather in a theater to watch another group of people run around, jump, sing and dance. He did not like it very much anyway. If he had the time, Ling might as well write a few more lines of code or play some interesting games. After all, although he had occupied Crossrail and became an independent country, Starlight Technology still maintained the momentum of releasing new games. However, Starlight Technology still maintained the momentum of releasing new games. There were still a lot of fun games waiting for him.
"This is my first time watching an opera. I wonder if it'll be interesting."
Qiya poked her head out curiously and looked at the stage below. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity. After all, she was still a child. She spent most of her time in school. As for places like theaters, they were meant for adults. Fangzheng wasn't interested, and the others seldom went either. Qiya naturally couldn't go alone.
Therefore, she was looking forward to the opera this time.
"Beep …."
At the same time, the bell rang, and the lights in the theater dimmed. The red curtain gradually opened, and the performance officially began.
Fangzheng did not really watch operas, so he sat in a chair next to him and watched the performance in front of him in boredom. Simply put, this opera was just a cliché story. The story was about a prince who fell in love with a woman, but the king accused the woman of being a witch and wanted to have her burned to death.... Hmm, this kind of story wasn't uncommon. Of course, in the eyes of a young girl from the Semulian continent, it was a bit too much.
"I don't know what the king is thinking. If that woman really has magic, she can protect herself. Ordinary flames can't burn her at all," Leah could not help complaining.
Lisa couldn't help but grumble, while Rize knitted her brows.
"Abusing the name of the goddess to carry out his own foolish actions. The goddess will not let such despicable and evil people go!"
"…."
How should he put it? Listening to them chatting was more interesting than the opera.
Fangzheng had already decided that when he went back, he would make each of them write a thousand-word review of the performance … Well, this was an old trick.
Meanwhile, the plot continued on the stage below.
"She's a witch! Guards, tie her to the stake and burn her to death!"
Following the king's order, the guards stepped forward. The prince stepped forward to stop them and raised his hands in agony.
"Father! If you must kill her … please allow me to die together with her …!! "
Then, a woman in a bright red dress walked to the prince's side and asked him to stand up. She turned around and began to sing.
"It's so beautiful …."
Elfen and Miao Jie were intoxicated by the woman's singing, but Ling and Tio were obviously unmoved.
"What's so good about this damned thing?"
"I want to go back and play games …."
However, at this moment, an unexpected scene occurred.
While the woman was singing, the prince and the king standing next to her suddenly burst into flames. They struggled desperately to back away, then fell to the ground. The woman, on the other hand, remained unmoved and continued to sing.
"Huh? Now it seems a little interesting. Is this woman really a witch? "
"Then why did she burn the prince? Isn't the prince truly in love with her? "
To the young ladies from the Semriya Continent, this wasn't anything unusual. But at the same time, Fangzheng sensed that something was amiss.
This is not a performance!
Those people were really burning!
Could this be the legendary spontaneous combustion of the human body?
Just as Fangzheng was feeling puzzled, he saw the Prince, who had been completely engulfed in flames, stagger forward, then directly fall off the stage, falling into the audience. For a moment, the audience was in chaos. Not only that, Fangzheng also saw that in other places around him, there were also spectators who started to catch fire.
What is this? Collective spontaneous combustion?
"Instructor, something doesn't seem right."
Yaltina walked up to Fangzheng and whispered. Fangzheng nodded.
"I saw it … Don't move! Everyone, stay calm! "
The other girls also sensed that this was not a performance, so they immediately became nervous. But when they heard Fangzheng's shout, they quickly calmed down and looked around. The whole theater was filled with flames and screams. A large number of spectators fled, but even more people started to catch fire on the spot. It didn't take long before the whole theater turned into a sea of fire.
"Yaltina, Liz, take the others and evacuate first. Go back to the apartment immediately."
Seeing this, Fangzheng made a decisive decision. He couldn't figure out what was going on. If it was some kind of magic or superpower, it was impossible for him not to sense it at all. However, the scene in front of him was indeed abnormal. As a precaution, Fangzheng ordered the others to retreat immediately.
"Understood. What about you, instructor?"
"I'll go and see what's going on. There must be something wrong with that woman!"
By now, most of the people in the theater had run away, and those who were left were basically burnt charcoal. Only the woman was still standing on the stage singing. Fangzheng didn't believe that it was because she was like the musicians who risked their lives to be professional.
After instructing the others to leave, Fangzheng jumped down from the auditorium on the second floor and ran towards the stage.
He wanted to see what the hell this woman was up to.
