In the end, I decided to skip class.
This was something that couldn't be helped. Bringing an unknown lolita-like creature to class was something that would attract a lot of attention. Optimistically speaking, the teacher in charge of the class, who had severe menopausal syndrome, would definitely take this opportunity to give me a thorough education. However, if I had to put aside this unknown dangerous creature … According to most movies and novels, this would only result in a lot of trouble. After analyzing everything, the best option was to skip class. Besides, wasn't I feeling unwell? That was reasonable, that was reasonable!
My older sister had already gone to work, so there was only Pandora and me at home. I had to hurry up and finish educating this unknown lifeform.
"Alright, remember, your name is Pan Lili now," I repeated. "You are my long-lost younger sister. Unless there are no outsiders present, you are not allowed to talk about the Xiling Empire in some unknown corner of the universe. En, let me take a look at the mark on your arm. Very good, magical constructs are indeed powerful to be able to do this. You just have to remember not to expose yourself in front of my older sister."
"Yes … Big Brother." Pandora seemed to be unaccustomed to this new form of address. She hesitated for a moment before saying it.
This was my plan! I would let Pandora pretend to be my long-lost younger sister. After all, I was an adopted orphan and no one knew of my background. This way, no one would find it strange that I suddenly had a younger sister. However, why did I feel that something was amiss?
I frowned as I sized up Pandora, who had already changed into tattered clothes. I felt that something was amiss, but I couldn't pinpoint what exactly was wrong …
Er, I realized …
"Pan … Lili, don't you know how to smile?"
This was the crux of the problem! Only now did I remember that the little girl in front of me hadn't smiled since we met. Not only did she not smile, it should be said that she didn't show any expression at all. Her entire being was like an exquisite doll. Furthermore, other than when she explained the situation of the Xi Ling Empire to me, she had been a person of few words, to the point that it was shocking. This kind of personality shouldn't be present in a fourteen-year-old girl no matter what.
The above was only a secondary problem. After all, an extremely autistic personality could still be dealt with by making up a corresponding life experience. What was worse was another aspect — Pandora's eyes!
There was no focus at all, it was just an ornament. (Even though she imitated a human's body structure, Pandora's perception of the outside world was still different from humans. At the very least, her vision didn't need to rely on simple and crude organs like her eyes. Such a pair of eyes would be the first focus of attention no matter where she went.
It seemed that in order to successfully deceive Pandora, I had to work harder on my studies.
※ ※ ※
A day passed quickly. On this day, I tried my best to tell Pandora the way of life of humans. As for whether she could remember it or not, I wasn't worried at all. During this period, I also learned more about the Xiling Empire from Pandora, who was a woman of few words like gold. Of course, this included the 99.99999999% … unusable command set that I was most concerned about.
According to Pandora's explanation, because the nearest void node was too far away, all the command information that I sent out had to travel a long distance to the nearest Schilling colony. This distance was so far that when the signal was transmitted, it would be completely indistinguishable from the cosmic microwave background radiation. This kind of signal, of course, could only be treated as noise. As for the long-range firepower support that I triggered yesterday morning, it was a very rare coincidence. Our great star gave me power at that moment, allowing me to instantly contact the mother planet of West-Hill on the other side of the universe.
"I can be used as an emergency Schilling terminal," Pandora said. "But with my enhancement, I can only forward less than 10% of the vague command, and the forwarding conditions will be very harsh. Do you need to build a Schilling outpost on this planet? After the base is built, you can launch a war at any time and turn this world into the new frontier of the Empire. "
"Forget it," I rejected the very tempting suggestion with cold sweat. "I have no plans to conquer the world."
Are you kidding me? Build a Schilling outpost? Then what? Summon a large number of Schilling troops? Conquer all of humanity? Rule the world? Then like in most hot-blooded novels, as a brutal conqueror is killed by some undying hot-blooded cockroach?
According to the previous rough search, the messy commands I received last night were basically related to war, including the mobilization of troops, long-range bombing, strategic strikes, and all kinds of things that were contrary to today's world peace. I can't use those weapons of mass destruction against humanity, right? Therefore, those command sets are useless to me. Building such a base is a complete waste.
As for using these very fierce sounding things as a secret weapon to teach some ignorant second generation a lesson and conquer the hearts of girls in the future …
Are you stupid? If someone touches you, you will use the Schilling Directional Annihilation Cannon to bombard the earth? You know, a hyperspace firepower support system is absolutely not suitable to be used to show off …
"Brother, there is a carbon-based life moving here, please confirm the identity of the other party."
"Sister is probably back." I looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Also, Lili, don't talk in this way in the future. You have to try to make people feel like you are a human."
As I was talking to Pandora, I heard the door open.
"I'm back," the sister said with a slightly tired voice, followed by a somewhat surprised voice, "Hm? Ah Jun, this child is? "
"This is Pan Lili," I gently pushed Pandora forward and tried to look excited, "She is my sister!"
"Sister?" The sister was taken aback. The next moment, she thought of a possibility and couldn't help but exclaim, "You said she is your sister? Your biological sister? "
"Yes," I said with a smile. "I thought my original family is no longer in this world. I didn't expect that I still have a sister."
"Hello," Pandora nodded slightly and greeted in her unique emotionless tone.
The sister frowned as if she was bothered by Pandora's cold reaction. Seeing this, I immediately explained, "Lili's life in the past wasn't very good, and … She experienced some bad things, so her personality is a bit strange."
At that moment, the sister noticed the tattered clothes Pandora was wearing. There was a trace of sympathy in her eyes, but the suspicion in her eyes didn't completely dissipate.
I knew what she was suspecting. When I was brought back, I wasn't even one year old. It was impossible for me to have any impression of my own family, not to mention this younger sister who wasn't even born yet. My sister was worried that I had been deceived.
I smiled and pulled Pandora's arm, rolling up her right sleeve.
It was a similar triangular birthmark the size of a fingernail. I also had the same mark on my arm.
"This seems to be a hereditary mark in our family. It's not a birthmark, but a mark that every direct blood relative has. Besides, although it sounds a little mysterious, there seems to be some kind of connection between Lili and me. I'm completely sure that she's my biological sister."
Thank God for giving my sister a biological brain. Otherwise, she would have seen through my clumsy lie very quickly. How could there be such a strange inheritance in this world?
Fortunately, my sister had never seen a biological creature before, so she immediately believed me. At the same time, she also noticed the abnormality in Pandora's eyes.
"Ah Jun, this child's eyes …"
I showed a pitiful expression and stroked Pandora's hair. "Didn't I tell you before? She experienced some bad things, and from then on, she couldn't see, and her personality became like this … "
I felt that it was a great loss for the entertainment industry that I didn't act in a movie.
My perfect acting immediately made my sister's maternal instinct burst out. Almost instantly, my sister let go of the doubts in her heart.
"Poor little sister …" The elder sister's voice was choked with sobs. She bent down and pulled the expressionless Pandora into her arms. "Where do you live now? If it's possible, move in with us. I will take care of you like a sister … "
My sister, who was already bursting with sympathy, completely ignored how I could understand her sister's past in just one day. She didn't even remember that she should take Pandora to do a genetic test first.
I'm sorry, sister. I can only hide it from you. After all, the truth is so extraordinary that it's not suitable for ordinary people to know …
