Pandora and Visca led their pack of ferocious Empire soldiers several tens of thousands of light-years away. I was like a father whose daughter was going on a long journey for the first time. I couldn't sit still at home, worrying about nothing.
If I were to say that I was worried, I really couldn't say what I was worried about. Pandora and Visca were two lolis who could roar through a mothership that was dozens of kilometers long. Their height of 1.2 meters wasn't as simple as buying a child's ticket on a bus. They were synonymous with terror on the battlefield. If you don't believe me, you can compare your height with them. And these two little fellows were leading hundreds of giant motherships that could turn the entire solar system into dust in a matter of minutes, as well as countless Empire soldiers who had been wreaking havoc in the multiverse since tens of millions of years ago. We had every reason to believe that the latter were already shooting machine guns when Tyrannosaurus Rex first learned how to use its tiny claws to crack open human skulls. With such a group of skilled and skilled Empire soldiers on the battlefield, there really wasn't anything for me to worry about.
But you have to understand, this is humans, humans. When you don't have to worry about something, it's the embodiment of human nature. It's the same logic as Old Man Sun on West Street worrying about 2012 every day. He's already 98 years old and has severe diabetes. Not only does he not care about his illness, he also worries about world peace every day. What the hell is he worrying about!
I was worried that Pandora and her sister were also worrying for nothing. No matter how strong the two little girls were, they wouldn't be able to stop accidents, right? Back then, when Pandora went out to buy soy sauce for the first time, I also couldn't sit still for half an hour. Of course, that time was mainly because I was worried that if the supermarket didn't give her change, Pandora would blow up the earth in a fit of anger.
"I say, Ah Jun, can we not beat around the bush?" Shallow Shallow was lying on the sofa playing games. At this time, she couldn't help but look over. Sandora was sipping tea at the coffee table on the other side. She said to me helplessly, "It's just going out to war. Isn't this something normal for them?"
I shrugged. "Yes, but it's unusual for me."
This was the truth. Ever since the two sisters became family members, this was the first time they led an army to fight against an unknown enemy. In the past, due to various reasons, every time the sisters went to war, I would definitely be present. In other words, as the saying goes, 'personally leading the army'. Every time I personally led the army, it was because I subconsciously felt that the two of them were too reckless, and I was afraid that they would suffer a loss on the battlefield.
Of course, I also knew that it would be impossible to make them suffer without a heavy fleet.
Shadora rolled her eyes at the sky. She understood what I was thinking.
Of course, my worries weren't completely out of my imagination. One of the important reasons was the slyness of the enemy. This time, the enemy was no longer a soft persimmon that could be easily pinched, but an old apostle that was as strong as the Empire's regular army. Furthermore, they were a group of walking corpses that had already lost their souls and only knew how to kill based on their instincts. We all knew that the aggressive were afraid of the reckless, and the reckless were afraid of the reckless. However, there was another saying: The reckless are afraid of the dead. The Avengers loved to carry out suicide attacks, and it was even more so after they became shells. Pandora and Visca especially loved to charge into the densest areas of the enemy and launch AoE attacks …
"Anyway, I don't know what's going on this time, but I just feel uneasy." I scratched my head and mumbled.
The elder sister happened to walk into the room at that moment. She knew which nerve of her brother's had the upper hand when she saw my expression. However, she didn't say anything else and nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's a little risky to let Pandora and Visca personally organize an ambush when we can only guess the enemy's movements."
I didn't even have the time to go forward and kowtow to the elder sister before she continued, "But there's no one here who can stop those two little girls. Also, Ah Jun, you should know that you and Sandora need to personally oversee the Divine Fog Planet. You can't always tie the two of them to yourself. "
"Why don't we take a look at the tarot cards?"
Shallow Shallow raised half of her body from the sofa and said on a whim.
I slapped my head. That's right! I almost forgot that a certain young mistress had left me an unlimited respawn bag.
I reached into my pocket and instinctively took out a card. Shallow Shallow hopped over and snatched the card from my hand. She threw it back after taking a glance at it and continued to play on the sofa.
I looked at the card. There was a passerby with a big pancake face drawn on it …
That was Lin Xue's style. Apart from the end of the world, she would unswervingly diss and ridicule me at any other time.
However, after Shallow Shallow's reminder, I suddenly thought of something. The current situation was confusing. Why didn't I think of contacting Lin Xue?
We were all confused in this universe, but Lin Xue probably didn't have the concept of being confused. Although the scale of the prophecy was limited and she probably didn't know much, she should be able to give us some hints, right?
Based on Lin Xue's repeated reminders before we left, I deduced that she had a sense of what we would encounter in this universe. Now that we had more information, wouldn't the future in Lin Xue's vision be clearer? Wasn't that how it was in RPGs? If you couldn't complete the mission, you could go back to the village and ask the prophet. Maybe the prophet would ask you to buy a bottle of soy sauce next door and you would be able to trigger the plot to defeat the Demon Dragon. Of course, we could discuss the relationship between the Demon Dragon and soy sauce later.
At this moment, I felt like I was wasting God's gift. There was such a great prophet at home, yet I had forgotten about it and was so anxious. But this also had something to do with Lin Xue's style of prophecy. Usually, I couldn't think of her abilities at home other than when I was reading the weather report …
Well, to be honest, I do miss that girl a little now. Although my days were much quieter without that troublesome amalgamation teasing me every day, without that fellow's constant chatter, I felt like I was missing something in my heart.
My connection with Lin Xue was quickly connected. We were using the spiritual network used by high-level apostles. Not only could this network be used to converse, it could also be used to selectively transmit part of the thoughts of both parties. Thus, the moment the spiritual connection was connected, before Lin Xue could say anything, a bunch of messy images and sounds appeared in my mind: A gloomy, smoke-filled sky, corpses strewn all over the land, a cold wind lingering in the air, and a distant and dreary female solo singing. The melody sounded like it was from a domestic drama series …
I was stunned by the scene that suddenly appeared in my mind. Even when Lin Xue said 'hey' a few times, I still couldn't react. After a long while, I finally understood: That was what was reverberating in Lin Xue's mind!
Instantly, my heart sank. Just a few words from the prophet could guide the future, not to mention it was a 3D scene. Look at what was that? Smoke, corpses, cold wind, and a domestic drama series. The most tragic things in the world had all appeared. Could the future be good? My heart is so cold. '
"Hey!!! Blockhead!! If you don't say anything, I'm going to hang up! "
Lin Xue's shout finally brought me back to my senses. I stammered an "oh" and asked subconsciously, "What are you doing?"
Lin Xue's baffled voice sounded in my mind, "You're asking about my private life when you're making a long-distance call? Well, at least you have some conscience — I'm watching a movie, a World War II documentary. "
I knew where the smoke came from, but I still had a question, "Then why is there an interlude in a domestic drama series?"
"My little brother, he's watching Princess Pearl."
"…"
I think there must be something wrong between the two of them!
While I was in a daze, Lin Xue started chattering again. Although her tone sounded a little impatient, I could feel her unconcealable happiness from the depths of my heart. It was obvious that she was very happy to receive a call from me after more than half a month. At the very least, she was much happier than when she first saw a dozen German soldiers explode into the sky. I felt a little guilty about that. I didn't have time to talk to this girl before, and now I realized that I had neglected her a little. Lin Xue wasn't a girl who would take the initiative to talk to me on the phone. To put it simply, she was a tsundere.
I briefly told her about the developments in this universe. She only made a few noncommittal noises. I remembered that she was probably peeping at me every day, so I felt a chill down my spine and changed the topic. I asked her if she could make a prophecy based on the current situation.
Of course, I didn't dare to trouble her about Pandora and Visca. I knew that I was worrying for nothing. If I told Lin Xue, she would definitely laugh at me for being narrow-minded: I don't know who is narrow-minded, the talented and bold Empire's Chancellor or the venomous-tongued, tsundere Missy. Of course, I wasn't that talented and bold.
Lin Xue was silent for a while. I could imagine Missy suddenly going into charlatan mode and muttering to herself. Then, she suddenly said, "Blockhead, Sandora hasn't been in a good mood recently, right?"
"Nonsense, how could you be in a good mood when you beat up your little brother?"
"… It's hard to say, it depends."
I asked, "… Is Lin Feng really your little brother?"
"Alright, I won't joke around. I can't tell you the specifics, but there are two things I want to tell you. The first thing is for you to relax. Things won't get any worse. The Revenge Army hasn't betrayed anyone, and they haven't suffered any attacks. The second thing I want to tell you is: keep an eye on that little girl named Milia. She has already disappeared from my sight. I can only determine that she is still alive by observing the actions of the people around her. Remember what I told you before we left? Milia is an inconceivable existence. She is the key to two completely different futures. "
As usual, Miss Lin told me a few metaphors in a nagging manner, but the clear instructions she gave me were still quite useful. After that, we chatted about our lives for the past few days. Well, although it was just a segment that appeared when ordinary couples talked on the phone, the lass's habitual venomous tongue really made one feel helpless, although that was also one of her cute points. At the end of our conversation, I suddenly thought of something. I stammered and asked, "Lass, why didn't you say that you wanted to come this time?"
In the past, Lin Xue couldn't bear the loneliness. Even if we told her to stay at home, she would often suddenly appear in front of us. Even if she didn't appear, she would make harassing phone calls every now and then to vent her frustrations. Only this time, Missy seemed to have finally settled down a lot. Almost a month had passed, and she could actually stay at home and watch TV. Was this still the all-powerful Missy Lin from back then?
Lin Xue was silent for a moment. Then, she lazily replied, "In any case, I won't be able to come this time. You guys should be back soon." Then, she hung up the call.
I was stunned by Lin Xue's last sentence. The first half of her sentence was strange. She didn't say that she didn't want to come, but that she couldn't come. But she didn't want to say it clearly. Perhaps she had some personal matters to attend to and couldn't come. I understood the second half of her sentence. Could it be that the matter here was going to be resolved soon?
I talked to Sandora, but both of us felt that it wasn't possible. The current situation was confusing and confusing. It could be said that we haven't even started a full-scale battle yet. How could it be resolved so soon?
However, as a lazy person who was just eating and waiting to die, I had an advantage. I didn't think about things that I couldn't understand. This was something that I had in common with Shallow Shallow. Of course, this also caused us to be in a very ethereal state. While everyone else was strategizing, we would always be like the scenery on the side, daydreaming …
"Is Miriya still with her uncle?"
I still remembered Lin Xue's reminder. In her prophecy, Miriya seemed to be a very important character. However, I couldn't understand how an ordinary human girl could have the power to change the course of history.
"I think so." Sandora was drinking tea as she looked at the holographic projection in front of her. "Zaku talked to her for almost a day after he came. However, no one was monitoring them, so I didn't know what they were talking about. After that, Zaku stayed here, in the same residential area as Miriya. "
I nodded and stood up to walk to the teleportation device. I sent Miriya a message and told her that I would be there in a while. I asked her and Uncle Zaku to wait in the room.
Since the prophet had spoken, I had to find out about Miriya's secret no matter what. Uncle Zaku had rushed over in a hurry, but he relaxed after seeing Miriya. I felt that it was a little strange.
The God Fog Planet's main base had been expanded to a very large size. Its core was still General City, but outside General City, there were satellite areas that were three to four times the size of General City. One of the satellite areas was a new residential area for non-combatants. Miriya was staying there temporarily. She was fooling around with Ling Meng and the other fellows who were purely here to cause trouble.
There was a teleportation device between all the satellite areas. I said that I would be there in a while, but in reality, I arrived at Miriya's dormitory within a minute. Orange Meow was hugging her tail at the door, concentrating on applying hair gel on it. She looked like a kitten guarding the door (of course, this job didn't seem to be done by a cat). I had no idea where Blue had gone to sunbathe. I could only use a pile of biscuits to coax this monster who liked to run around everywhere away. I also noticed that there was only half a bottle of hair gel left in her hand. There was only a small dot of hair gel on her two swaying tails. I had no idea where she had applied it. I hoped that she hadn't secretly drunk it.
"Miriya, I'm coming."
I noticed that the door was open. The moment I approached, it slid open soundlessly. So, I walked in. The moment I entered the living room, I was stunned by what I saw.
Miriya and Uncle Zaku were sitting opposite each other. Their expressions were unusually solemn. Of course, whether their expressions were solemn or not wasn't the main reason why I was stunned. What really stunned me was that there was something on the coffee table between them.
It was a black metal box. There weren't any unnecessary decorations on the surface. There were only a few shimmering energy patterns on it. There was also an external locking device on the box. The more I looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
"This thing … Isn't this thing in the research institute?!"
My sudden voice brought Miriya and Uncle Zaku back to reality. They turned their heads to look at me. They asked in unison, "You (brother) have seen this thing before?"
This time, I was the one who was confused. "Of course I have. This is an ancient relic that we found on Planet Brown Earth. It should be being dismantled in the research institute. How did it end up in your hands?"
Hearing that, Miriya and Zaku revealed expressions of disbelief. They looked at each other and said in unison, "Impossible! This belongs to our family! "
I instantly realized that the situation was too complicated.
Zaku and Miriya didn't have to spout nonsense on such matters. At that moment, I had the time to carefully observe the metal box on the coffee table. As expected, it was different from the one we had found on Planet Brown Earth. First of all, the surface of this box was much cleaner. Moreover, there were a few corners that looked clear and shiny. It seemed to be the result of careful cleaning. The one we had found on Planet Brown Earth looked much cruder. There was another difference with the box in front of me. It seemed to be missing something on the lid. I linked to the database and pulled out the picture that I had taken on Planet Brown Earth. After comparing it, I found that it was similar to a mobile data interface. This box didn't have it.
"A few days ago, not long before Planet Brown Earth was attacked, it suddenly started operating on its own. Look at these glowing energy patterns. They had originally dimmed three hundred years ago. However, I don't know where they got the energy from, but they've started to shine again." Uncle Zaku muttered in confusion. I curiously went forward and opened the lid of the box. The locking mechanism of this thing had obviously failed. I pressed it lightly and the lid of the box sizzled and split into a few pieces that slowly slid open.
It was empty inside. The inner wall was made of a transparent material that had a crystalline texture. As the energy supply had been restored, it was glowing with a faint blue light. I thought of the Mother Nest Crystal.
Of course, based on the energy reaction, it wasn't the same thing as the Mother Nest Crystal. However, its style was obviously a product of the Empire.
An inner tank made by the Empire was wrapped in a mechanical shell made by the ancient Mobrador civilization. Many ancient relics had such a structure. However, this one obviously had a more subtle meaning.
"What exactly is it?"
Uncle Zaku revealed a nostalgic expression and said softly, "The first time I saw Miriya, she was lying in this box. Of course, she was still a baby then …"
