VCRMM: Chapter 156

Xu Sili didn’t look at Wang Kun and examined his own situation.

His body was imprisoned in the card and still maintained his original forward walking posture. Apart from the small movement of his hands and head, all other parts were fixed.
Fortunately, he had just been taking a small walk. If he had been running, he would be embarrassed right now.

Xu Sili tilted his head slightly and his eyes fell on the external environment.

It was a small room and the decor looked a lot like a spaceship cabin.
Due to the needs of space navigation, the design wasn’t as casual as it was on land. There were many necessary things that couldn’t be changed and the materials used were mostly special, lightweight building materials.

There were also many items with obvious personal style in the room. This made the originally metal-style cabin a bit more wild and rough.
The most conspicuous thing was the large symbol on the wall behind Wang Kun. It was composed of flames and foxes, which reminded him of the codename of the organization, the Flaming Fox.

All passengers who came to Kechibal Star had their vehicles parked at a designated location and weren’t allowed to land… so did he really leave Kechibal and was taken to the Flaming Fox’s spaceship?

Xu Sili analyzed the current situation and looked at Wang Kun again. He opened his mouth but found that he couldn’t speak.
He frowned slightly. So this was their attitude when asking someone to do something?
It should be said that they really deserved to be perverse and bold star thieves. They never thought he would refuse to conform or leave behind any hidden hands. Or were they… confident?

“Brother Wang, don’t be pretentious. Hurry up and let Angelia do it.”
Kuris urged weakly from next to him.
His condition didn’t look very good. Xu Sili glanced at him and secretly used an Insight technique on him.

[Kuris Bard]
[Identity: NPC
Faction: Flaming Fox Star Thieves
Personal level: Lv 38
Health: 105,231/135,025
Magic: 4,486/15,508
Profession: Card Master
Status: Exhaustion (physical recovery rate -50%, reaction speed -80%).]

Xu Sili’s heart moved slightly. According to the system message, this Kuris was the one who used Card Transformation on him and swapped him.
Was his exhausted state related to the use of these two skills? Moreover, his magic was almost equivalent to being consumed. It seemed that the card skills consumed a lot of magic.

To be honest, Xu Sili would like to know about the profession of card master if it wasn’t for the current situation.
This should be a second combat class beside the elementalist, right?

These thoughts just flashed in his mind. Xu Sili was still staring at the two of them vigilantly.
He was now a card and his vision was limited. He couldn’t see where ‘Angelia’ was, let alone what Kuris meant by letting her act.

At this time, another young female voice was heard in the room. It should be the one called Angelia.
“Kuris, you had better rest for a while.”
The female voice said softly, “Looking at your appearance, you seem as if you are about to faint at any time. You also know that my ability is useful for card life. I must cooperate with a card master or it would be easy to backfire.”

There seemed to be a special magic in Angelia’s voice, which made people feel very intimate and have an inexplicable sense of stability and trust.

Kuris originally wanted to refute it but suddenly quieted down. He yawned and said, “Indeed, I need to sleep to regain my strength.”
“Hey, this skill is easy to use but the consumption is too large. I feel like I am going to die every time I use it.”
He grumbled. Then he lay down on the sofa and went straight to sleep.

Xu Sili’s heart jumped.
He had been turned into a card but his abilities still seemed to be working. He could feel the sound elements becoming active when Angelia spoke.
This girl…
It was surprising that she could control her voice and use it in daily speech. He just didn’t know if it was intentional or unintentional.
In either case, it made him feel terrible.

It seemed that among the star thieves, there were indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There was no shortage of talented people. He had been too careless before.
Xu Sili couldn’t help reflecting on himself.
He glanced at the sleeping card master. Perhaps… could he take advantage of this time to summon Si Sheng? It seemed that Kuris wouldn’t be able to use the card-based skills in a short amount of time.

At this moment, Xu Sili felt he was floating again. It was Wang Kun who took him to move locations. Then he was able to see Angelia.

She was probably in her early 20s. Like her voice, this girl looked gentle. She belonged to the soft type that made people unable to be on guard against her.
In this room full of the rough star thief style, her delicate appearance and soft dress had a sense of incompatibility with the surroundings.

“Hello, Mr Xu.”
Angelia looked at him and smiled softly.

Xu Sili registered a false identity on Kechibal Star and used a homonym of his original surname. The people of the Flaming Fox only read the passenger information of Kechibal Star so they didn’t know his real name.

In the face of the girl’s overtures, Xu Sili just frowned and stared at her coldly, ready to call Si Sheng over at any time.
The only thing that made him hesitate now was whether there were other card masters on this spaceship or other unknown mysterious professions.
Would there be any problems if he rashly summoned Si Sheng?

“Mr Xu, please don’t look at me like that.”
Angelia still had a smile on her face.
“We don’t have any malicious intentions. We sincerely hope that we can reach this deal with you. It is due to various reasons that we had to take you away in this way.”

She wasn’t lying. Wang Kun had been noticed by the police of Kechibal Star due to the traitor’s car accident. Later, he forcibly hacked into the hotel’s management system and retrieved the information of Mr Xu and his companions.
What’s more, he contacted them illegally at the black market.

During the time when he was at the black market, Wang Kun received news that the police of Kechibal Star had completely locked onto them and were rushing over to arrest them.

They were interstellar wanted criminals but they acted so blatantly that they violated the bottom line of Kechibal Star’s governments.
If they were allowed to disrupt the order, it would be devastating for this tourist star that relied on the tourism industry as the backbone of their economy.

So in this urgent situation, Wang Kun and Kuris made a quick decision and chose to take away this person with them. As for the transaction with Blood Dance, it was natural to agree upon another location.
However, the deal between Flaming Fox and Blood Dance could be terminated if this Mr Xu could really save their boss.

In comparison, the people of Flaming Fox naturally hoped to find another way to save the boss. It was best not to trade with the people of Blood Dance, so everyone was extremely active.

Xu Sili couldn’t speak and could only continue to respond with a cold and hard expression.
Despite this, Angelia chatted with him in a very good-natured manner, as if she couldn’t see his bad mood at all.
Wang Kun next to her seemed to have seen the strangeness and touched a computer again, tapping on a virtual keyboard.

Slowly, Xu Sili sensed that something was wrong.
He felt that the sound elements were becoming more and more active. The group was moving toward him, as if trying to influence him.
His judgment wasn’t wrong. It was because—

[Ding~ ‘Angelia’ is casting ‘Appeasement’ on you.]
[Appeasement: You can soothe the target’s heart through sound and let the target have a sense of trust in you.]
[You are a sound elementalist and the sound elements are under your control.]
[Appeasement has no effect on you.]

Appeasement? This girl Angelia could really influence others through her voice.
Xu Sili quietly softened his expression and pretended to be affected by her skill. At the same time, he used Insight on this girl.

[Angelia Eyre]
[Identity: NPC
Race: Half merfolk.
Faction: Flaming Fox Star Thieves
Personal level: Lv 35
Health: 155,000/155,000
Magic: 16,080/16,080
Special Ability: Sound manipulation.]

Xu Sili was slightly taken aback. He thought that Angelia had some special profession. He hadn’t expected it to be her race.
Half merfolk?
So her special ability to control her voice was related to her bloodline?

Xu Sili once again felt the strength of the Flaming Fox group. However, among the three people he had come into contact with so far, their levels weren’t much higher than his and his amount of health was between two of them.
This gave him a bit of confidence.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to give up on calling Si Sheng for the time being. It was because from Angelia’s words, he knew they were going to the headquarters of Flaming Fox right now.

The seriously injured Mu Xingzhou was protected at the headquarters base. They were worried about accidents so they didn’t take him with them when they came out to trade this time.
Now they were taking Xu Sili to the headquarters to treat Mu Xingzhou. As for the reason why they dared to take him back directly and weren’t afraid he wouldn’t cooperate, he understood it now.

They were confident because of Angelia’s special ability.
It was a pity that they didn’t know he was a sound elementalist and was immune to sound hypnosis.

Xu Sili listened to Angelia’s words and cooperatively made his expression gentler. He thought in his heart that when he arrived at the headquarters of Flaming Fox, he would summon Si Sheng over and reward them with a Thunder Judgment.
Now he couldn’t startle the enemy, let the star thieves conceal the location of the base and he had to bother to investigate it.

Angelia didn’t know what plan Xu Sili secretly had in his heart. She saw that the face of the person on the card gradually softened from coldness and her lips curved in satisfaction.
In fact, what she had said to Kuris was just to relax this person’s mind a bit so she could take advantage of it.

Her ability didn’t require Kuris’ cooperation.
Any being who heard her voice couldn’t escape her control. Angelia was full of confidence about this point. Her expression naturally became gentler.
In fact, she liked this card quite a lot. This Mr Xu had a really impeccable appearance.

However, his abilities still need to be tested.
If it was really useful, they would bring him back with them to treat the boss. Otherwise, there was no need to waste time.
IF not, she didn’t know if Kuris would give her this Mr Xu card…

Angelia walked away. She raised her smiling face again, controlled her voice and said softly in a bewitching manner, “Mr Xu, I have a little rabbit that has been injured. Can you save it?”
“I will be extremely grateful to you if you can cure it.”

Xu Sili wanted to roll his eyes but he held back for the sake of acting. He didn’t immediately agree and looked at her arrogantly. He seemed to struggle for a while before nodding in agreement.
Angelia thanked him and gave Wang Kun a look.
Wang Kun agreed and soon went out and returned with a rabbit.

Xu Sili glanced at it with Insight and found that this rabbit wasn’t simply injured. It was covered in blood and was on the verge of death. The health bar would soon run out.
He frowned and stared at the rabbit. His lips moved slightly and he used Sprouting on the poor rabbit.

He couldn’t speak but as a sound elementalist, he could completely control the sound elements to make sounds through his spiritual power. It was just acting and he was mute the whole time he went through the full set.

Soon, the rabbit’s health bar completely recovered thanks to his Sprouting.
Just now, it was in a near-death state. After only around five minutes, it jumped around alive again. Wang Kun and Angelia couldn’t help their eyes widening.
Then they unanimously decided that Mr Xu must be brought back to headquarters! After he saved Boss Mu, he could stay at the base!
