"Finally … I can take it back …"
The strange-caped girl in front of me said as she slowly turned around and pulled back the large hood that covered her face.
A familiar face appeared in front of us, and right after that, Shallow Shallow and I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Pandora!?"
That's right, Pandora, it was Pandora! No matter what, I wouldn't make a mistake at a time like this. The face that appeared in front of me was indeed Pandora!
But, there seemed to be a slight difference.
Even though she had the exact same face, the "Pandora" in front of me had expressions that I had never seen before: anger, excitement, anticipation, and even a hint of madness. Such a variety of expressions appeared on that cold, statue-like face that I was used to, and it felt so out of place. Her eyes were also different from the Pandora I was familiar with. Due to the "model", Pandora's eyes were usually gray and unfocused, and it was almost impossible to tell what her gaze was. But when she was in battle, Pandora's eyes would turn a bright purplish-red, which would increase her observation and attack accuracy by tens or even hundreds of times. When she was calculating and processing huge amounts of information at high speed, Pandora's eyes would turn a beautiful icy blue, and there would even be tiny specks of light swimming in them — I should also mention that at this time, Pandora's stomach would always make a very interesting "beep" sound …
Cough cough … What I mean is, the eyes of the Pandora in front of me were completely different from the obedient little sister I knew. Her pupils were actually blood-red like a cat's! I clearly remembered that Pandora's eyes didn't have such a state!
But even though there were so many differences, the girl in front of me really did have the exact same face as Pandora. There was no way I would mistake that icy face that always appeared by my side.
"Pandora? Hehe … "The" Pandora "in front of us repeated in a low voice. At the same time, she chuckled. But in the next second, a crazed expression took over her face. The girl waved her arms violently and shouted angrily at us," Pandora!? Why!? Why should his name be taken away!? Why do you have to call me Pandora!!! Why does Pandora have her own name, but I don't even have a reason to exist!? I'm also Pandora! I'm also Pandora! We are all Pandora! But … why do we not even have the meaning to exist … "
In the end, the frenzied roars gradually turned into choked sobs. The girl's eyes were filled with sorrow, and her voice was filled with sobs. However, not a single tear fell from those strange cat eyes.
"Pandora, you …" I opened my mouth hesitantly. To be honest, I didn't understand a single word that the girl in front of me said — — Even though I understood every single word, why was it so hard to understand when they were put together into a sentence? Could it be that my precious little sister has gone crazy?
"You're not allowed to call me Pandora!" The girl in front of me suddenly used a threatening tone that sounded like a beast's growl. Even though she didn't move, a strong sense of danger suddenly appeared in my heart. Almost subconsciously, I pulled Shallow Shallow and jumped to the side. Almost at the same time, two pitch-black energy beams pierced through the ground that we were just standing on, whistling and disappearing into the endless gray sky.
You're Yamata no Orochi! Why don't you explode your Spiritual Energy Pillar! Could it be that you still know how to use Sunlight!
Alright, the above is a chaotic roast in my mind while I'm still in a state of shock. Please choose to ignore it.
The sudden attack made me dazed for a moment. Pandora? She actually attacked me?!
"You're not Pandora." Shallow Shallow glared at the girl in front of her with a cold gaze. The attack just now had angered her. "Tell me your name. I don't like creating nameless corpses!"
… Shallow Shallow, you scared me …
But Shallow Shallow's words suddenly made me understand. The strange behavior of the girl in front of me and her unique eyes finally had an explanation — — She only looked similar to Pandora, but she was definitely not the real Pandora.
I was finally relieved. As long as the person who attacked me wasn't Pandora, everything would be fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to accept this reality. However, my doubts only increased because of this. The girl in front of me looked so similar to Pandora. Even the length of their hair was identical. I couldn't help but suspect that she was somehow related to the real Pandora. Since this matter involved my younger sister, I couldn't just ignore it.
More importantly, I wanted to know if this girl was the reason why our movements had been accurately grasped by the enemy all this time. Even the fact that they were able to set up such a huge trap for us in the Endless Sea was because of this girl. Since she could easily infiltrate the central computer room, which was set up in a parallel dimension and had an unknown number of layers of spatial locks, it wouldn't be difficult for her to grasp our intelligence. However, we still couldn't explain why we were ambushed in the territory of the other races. Especially when it came to Pandora and Sandora. They were together with the dragons at that time. Even we didn't know where they were. Could it be that this girl had been following them all this time?
I recalled Lin Xue's prophecy. In the near future, Pandora would stand on the demon's fortress and attack us. It seemed that the girl in Lin Xue's vision of the future wasn't Pandora. Instead, it was this girl who had the exact same appearance as Pandora.
At that moment, I felt as though the clouds in my heart had cleared. Even though there were still many suspicious points, as long as Pandora could escape from this quagmire, I would be satisfied. Now, it seemed that my determination to not suspect Pandora was indeed a foresight! Who said that a man's sixth sense wasn't useful? Our seventh sense is so accurate!
Very good. From now on, please address me as the Emperor of Premonitions. Thank you …
Unexpectedly, the cloaked girl (…) who had just attacked us didn't take advantage of the moment when Shallow Shallow and I were stunned to continue attacking us. Instead, she suddenly froze on the spot and looked at us with panicked eyes. It was as though she couldn't believe what she had just seen. Then, she waved at us in panic. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I … I didn't want to attack you … I really … "
"Is she crazy?" I whispered to Shallow Shallow.
Shallow Shallow didn't answer me. Instead, she opened her arms slightly and looked forward with a more cautious gaze.
The slightly crazy girl waved at us in panic as she walked towards us with small steps. Then, she stopped five meters in front of us. Suddenly, she revealed an expression filled with anticipation. She smiled and said, "Big brother, come home with me!"
I: "?"
Shallow Shallow moved closer to me. "Yep, she's crazy."
To be honest, I had already made all the preparations for battle. Super Dimensional Firepower, Mental Barrier, all kinds of summoning power that transcended time and space. Basically, I had prepared all the battle skills that I could use at the same time. As long as the other party showed any intention to attack, I would be able to attack her before she could. However, despite all my calculations, I never expected that this crazy girl would say something like that!
"You … You're not joking, right?" I felt cold sweat dripping down my forehead.
"Can't I?" The other party revealed a disappointed expression. Then, she suddenly revealed a determined expression. She smiled and said, "Then, stay here and accompany me!"
I was stunned. "What?"
"Ah Jun, behind you!"
Shallow Shallow suddenly shouted. Then, I felt the hairs on my back stand at attention. Because I felt something with astonishing power charging towards me.
"Disappear into the wrong history!"
A loud explosion could be heard. However, the strange thing was, other than the real explosion, I didn't see anything when I turned around. Everything that had happened just now was like an illusion.
"Hehe …" The cloaked girl laughed. "As expected of Big Sister Shallow Shallow. You can actually change history, causing the Glutton Missile to explode before it could be launched …"
"Who exactly are you?"
Shallow Shallow's voice was unprecedentedly cold. The two consecutive sneak attacks had drained her patience. No matter what the girl in front of her said, she wouldn't let her go.
"Hehe, I am …"
"I am … I am …"
The strange girl seemed to have fallen into some kind of error loop. Her eyes glazed over and she kept repeating two simple syllables. Just as Shallow Shallow and I were about to make our move, she suddenly came back to her senses and shouted, "I am Pandora! I am Pandora! We are Pandora! Hahaha! Hahaha … "
The crazy girl shouted and laughed maniacally. Then, she started crying uncontrollably. "We are Pandora … Many, many Pandora … At first, we were given the name Pandora … But there is only one Pandora … So, we can't be Pandora. I don't have a name because I am Pandora, so I don't have a name …"
What kind of nonsense is this?
Shallow Shallow and I exchanged glances. We both felt like we had met a lunatic, a genuine lunatic at that. I didn't know what else Shallow Shallow was thinking, but a phrase popped up in my head: System error.
She doesn't have a name, so she is called Pandora, and many, many? Is there really no grammatical error in linking these words together? If this girl in front of me was a Fallen Apostle, wouldn't her AI module have already been destroyed?
I was hesitating about whether or not I should make my move while she was in a state of insanity. However, I hesitated for some reason. She kept repeating the name Pandora, and she even mentioned the word "name" more than once. This made me extremely curious. Just what was the relationship between her and Pandora? Did she know Pandora before she went insane? Did she really have enmity towards us?
This last point sounded really strange. She had clearly ambushed us twice already, so the conclusion should have been unquestionable. However, the panic and guilt she showed after the first attack seemed so real. And after the second attack, it was obvious that she had gone insane. I really didn't know what this girl was thinking.
Also, looking at this girl's face that was almost identical to Pandora's, I really couldn't bear to make my move …
Shallow Shallow was obviously hesitating as well. After changing her personality, although Shallow Shallow appeared to be very cold, she still had feelings for her family. No matter how fierce her words were, she still couldn't make a move on a girl who was highly likely to be related to Pandora — especially when the other party was a pitiful lunatic.
"Big brother!" At this moment, the crazy girl suddenly returned to normal. She stared at me with her bloodshot eyes, her expression filled with anticipation. "Name!"
I expressed my confusion. Truly, the words of a lunatic were very confusing.
"Name!" The girl repeated again. "Big brother, give me a name! I want to know who I am. I want to know who I can be other than Pandora … "
I took back what I just said. This girl wasn't normal at all!
