Today was definitely the day that Pandora spoke the most ever since she was born. I even suspected that she had said all the words that she hadn't said in the past hundreds of thousands of years. By the time she told me about the 'Immortal' plan and her clones, almost two hours had passed.
Even though Pandora's expression was still calm, I knew that Visca's appearance must have affected her greatly. If it were me, I might not even be able to accept such a thing. So, after comforting Pandora, I half-forced her to lie down and rest immediately. She didn't want to think about Visca anymore. She had already been under too much pressure for the past few days. I really couldn't bear to see her go through even more.
Even though Pandora was a powerful general of the Empire, in my eyes, she was just a little girl, just my little sister …
I left Pandora's room with a heavy heart. I tried to calm down my thoughts.
Visca's fate was tragic. She was born as a clone, and then because her experiments were terminated, she was thrown into a dead star to fend for herself. Just a system error caused her and countless sisters to kill each other until the last one was left. She didn't even know the value of her own existence. She was only able to maintain her actions because of an endless loop of system commands. I really couldn't imagine a fate more tragic than this. It was true that she was our enemy, but now I felt that she was more like a little girl who deserved our sympathy.
What made me feel even more conflicted was that Visca had already wholeheartedly regarded me as her brother. Even though this was an error in judgment due to her chaotic state of mind, or even a product of her intense self-hypnosis, I didn't know why I really cared about her. If it was possible, I really wanted to save her from her madness and loneliness.
If I really wanted to do that, I had to hurry. Visca was still in the other camp. Even though she wasn't willing to hurt us, her mind wasn't clear. It was highly possible that she would cause huge trouble for us before she realized it. Moreover, the commanders of the Fallen Apostles might make use of Visca's madness to make her do something that she would regret for the rest of her life. If that day really came, regardless of whether it was us or Visca, it would be an incomparably regrettable matter …
Just as I was struggling to make a decision regarding Visca's matter, I suddenly heard footsteps that were deliberately louder.
I turned my head and saw Lin Xue walking towards me. She was wearing baggy pajamas with cartoon characters.
Alright, when I saw the cartoon pajamas, I was embarrassed.
Lin Xue? That mischievous young lady whose number one goal in life was to cause trouble, whose greatest joy was to oppose me, and who would normally announce the weather conditions of the next afternoon as a prophet, was actually wearing a cartoon pajamas in front of me!? Cough cough … I know, cartoon pajamas aren't something strange.
Ahem … I know, cartoon pajamas aren't anything strange. The key is that Lin Xue's usual behavior in front of me has given me a rather mystical impression of her. To put it simply, she is the image of a demon king and a schemer who is covered in a dark aura, draped in a black cloak, and holds a glass of blood-red wine in her hand while laughing sinisterly at the huge moon in the sky. Fine, I admit, this image is already filled with all sorts of things to complain about. In short, this rich young lady who always uses all kinds of weird ways to show off her existence is definitely not an image that an ordinary human can have. And now, the legendary Miss Lin is actually wearing a cartoon piggy pajamas in the hallway …
I had the strange feeling of personally witnessing Archimonde holding a rose while standing under Nagato Youshi's window and singing "Conquer".
Crap, Lin Xue's cartoon pajamas had too much of an impact on me. It even made my poor brain cells display an extremely dangerous situation …
"What are you looking at!" Noticing that my gaze was focused on her body, even with Lin Xue's facial armor, she felt a bit uncomfortable. Especially when she suddenly remembered that she was wearing pajamas … Although it was a very conservative style, it was still a bit inappropriate to wear pajamas in front of a man …
What a miscalculation! What a waste of my status as a prophet! I actually forgot this guy's identity as a man! Speaking of which, wasn't I a bit too unwary of this extremely dangerous upstart recently?
Lin Xue shouted in her heart. She was extremely dispirited by her own carelessness. At the same time, she started to plan how she would get back at this despicable guy in front of her.
After being yelled at by Lin Xue, I also came back to my senses. Only then did I notice that her face was slightly red. I didn't know if it was because of shyness or anger.
At this moment, I actually felt a bit stunned.
To be fair, Lin Xue was a very beautiful girl. Even if she usually had a terrible personality, the elite education she received since she was young caused her to unknowingly reveal the temperament of a lady from a noble family. Now, under that slightly shy expression, in addition to Lin Xue's cartoon pajamas, the Lin Xue in front of me actually gave me a feeling of elegance, quietness, and cuteness mixed together.
I rubbed my eyes and then burst out: "Crazy girl, you can't have been transmigrated right?"
… After saying that, I regretted it.
Lin Xue was a 5th dan sanda. This was something she bragged to me once during a chat. But I felt that, after practicing real combat on me for so long, this guy's level had at least reached the peak of the 6th dan …
After an almost routine real combat, I easily swatted away Lin Xue's claws that were about to continue attacking me. I asked: "You still haven't answered me. What are you wandering around for instead of sleeping?"
The encounter with the enemy had been tormenting us for almost half the night. Everyone's mental strength was not light. Right now, it was only the wee hours of the morning. If it wasn't for my mental strength mutation, I would have already been extremely sleepy. How could Lin Xue still have the energy to wander around?
"I just saw a wretched and suspicious looking older brother sneak into a cute and naive little sister's room late at night for two hours before coming out. I was deeply curious, so I decided to come and watch. At the same time, I will do justice for the heavens and eliminate this bastard."
Without any hesitation, Lin Xue used a serious and formal tone to say those words that could make a person collapse.
I was hit so hard that I couldn't think. Three seconds later, the corner of my mouth twitched and I choked out a sentence: "Can't you think of something more sunny?"
"Sorry, I can't think of a sunny scene when I see your face …"
… This girl's glib tongue has leveled up!
Bickering is bickering, but I still know that Lin Xue didn't go to sleep at this time because of some bullsh * t reason. She is a prophet. If you ignore her nasty personality that makes people itch, she is a true observer. That's why there are usually other hidden meanings behind her actions. Maybe it's to fine-tune the not-so-optimistic future, or maybe it's to verify some ambiguous prophecy. She needs to use some actions that I think are completely unreasonable to strengthen her prophecy ability and stabilize the direction of fate. Of course, in many cases, I still believe that it's just a clumsy sophistry she used to explain why she suddenly gave me a combo hit …
Alright, I digressed. Actually, I wanted to say that there must be a reason why Lin Xue appeared in front of me at this time. She definitely didn't just want to compare notes with me and ridicule me for going into her little sister's room at night.
"How do I say this, I'm not too sure why I'm telling you this …" It's rather rare for Lin Xue to reveal a puzzled expression. Then, she suddenly put on a serious expression. "The illusory future presents an unprecedented scene of turmoil. A mistake made in the distant past will bring about a tragic ending. Either you do your best to remedy it and reverse that hopeless fate, or you let the tragedy end even more tragically and welcome an irreversible death …"
When saying this, Lin Xue's expression suddenly became completely unfathomable. A kind of energy field that seemed real and illusory enveloped a three meter radius around the girl. That usually incomparably familiar face was now filled with a calm and convincing feeling. The mysterious surreal power seemed to have caused her physical body to become unstable in the material world. Perhaps right now, she was already standing in a certain space-time coordinate in the future, looking at everything that is still ethereal to us. What I see, is only an illusion that she left in the present space-time … A thought uncontrollably spread out: This is a prophet, an eternal sage who has seen through all things in the world …
That's what Lin Xue completed in her mind …
The real situation was, when I saw Lin Xue suddenly reveal a mysterious expression and say those words that were unfathomable, but what I really wanted to say was words that tormented the human brain cells, I jumped up without hesitation and accurately smashed her head with a karate chop.
"Speak human language!"
"I saw a girl who has the same appearance as Pandora. You must help her, because one day in the future, she will become a decisive force. Otherwise, you can just wait for death!"
Isn't that the end of it? She clearly knew that my ability to understand was limited.
It seems that Lin Xue's random prophecy ability was working again, allowing her to see through some fragmented fragments of the future. However, the uncertainty of fate made it necessary for her to warn me in advance. This way, the still turbulent karma could be confirmed. Of course, because what she saw was only fragments, Lin Xue knew nothing about the girl who would appear by our side in the future. She also didn't know how to help that girl, but that wasn't important.
The important thing was that now I could finally make up my mind.
