Sandora and I sat side by side. In front of us was Visca, who was clutching her head and twisting around restlessly. Pandora was sitting not far away with a blank expression. She had already closed her eyes and entered standby mode. Only the occasional beep in her pocket indicated that she was still awake.
Jingle had a tired expression as she lay in my shirt pocket. She rubbed her eyes and crawled back into my pocket. As she did so, she muttered, "Good night, Ah Jun … Don't button up your shirt."
She had completely treated this pocket as her second home.
"How do you feel now?" I stroked my hair that was messed up by Visca and asked with concern, "Do you feel dizzy?"
"I'm fine." Visca's cat eyes were gradually turning into mosquito coils. She let out a long yawn. "Brother, I want to sleep now."
This was the biological clock that Madam Sis had adjusted. A child who wanted to sleep when it was time was so obedient. It was a pity that Visca wouldn't be able to sleep so early today.
Although this was a nonsensical and ridiculous logic, it was necessary for me to connect the dots. Just now, the remains of three imperial starships with enough power to fry Earth exploded on Weska's Stronghold Planet. Not only that, these explosions weren't blocked by the starship's shields or interception mechanisms at all, and they struck the main body of Weska's Stronghold Planet. Strictly speaking, Weska's Stronghold Planet was the cat-eyed little girl in front of me. In other words, her head had taken at least three hits from the main cannon. Even though the Stronghold Planet's astonishing defense only caused her to smash the furniture in front of her, I was very worried that this little girl would suffer some sort of after-effects. After all, this little girl's brain wasn't normal to begin with.
"If there is a malfunction, it should be on the Barrier Planet. I just felt dizzy for a moment." Visca continued to twist her head around. She looked like she wanted to twist her head off. Although the three attacks had hit the moon, Visca's side had a completely synchronized reaction. This was extremely strange. Even Sandora couldn't explain this phenomenon. However, I was more concerned about whether I should send this stubborn brat for a checkup.
"Why don't you go to the Shadow City for a checkup? It won't take long anyway."
I reached out to pinch the cat-eyed girl's cheeks and asked with concern.
"Oh, this is troublesome." Visca rubbed her hand and crawled over. She curled up next to me and said, "I can do the checkup myself. Brother, don't worry. I'm really fine!"
Seeing how resolute Visca was, I couldn't force her. However, I couldn't help but worry in my heart. Perhaps the expression on her face was too obvious, but Pandora suddenly stood up and silently stood next to her sister. Under my baffled gaze, she tugged on the latter's collar and said, "Get up. Let's do the checkup."
It was Pandora's trademark short speech. This time, Visca didn't protest to her sister out of habit. Instead, she pouted and stood up, closing her eyes.
Pandora extended her right hand. I was surprised to see that her index finger had turned into a fifteen-centimeter long needle that sparkled with blue sparks. She used the needle to gesture at Visca's neck before stabbing it into the latter's neck without hesitation. This ferocious scene made me shudder. Even though I knew that it wouldn't do any harm, I couldn't help but shrink my neck. These two brats are weird in every aspect.
After stabbing the needle with an unknown function and shape into Visca's body, Pandora's eyes turned ice-blue due to high-speed calculations. A continuous' beep beep beep 'sound came from her body. I couldn't help but wonder if this brat wanted to change the battery. Visca moved his neck awkwardly, but Pandora gave him a karate chop on the spot and he quietened down.
Following the final 'zi zi' sound of energy turbulence, Pandora's eyes returned to their original gray state. She retracted her right hand and her index finger returned to its normal state. Then, she nodded at Sandora and me, "His head is damaged. Everything else is normal."
The corner of my mouth twitched twice. I wondered when Pandora had become so unforgiving. Visca was instantly enraged. He jumped up and challenged his sister to a duel. Just like that, the two brats unknowingly started to make a ruckus in the living room. This time, it was Visca who didn't know how to control his strength. Pandora, who had been trained by her sister to be even more well-behaved at this time of the night, had the upper hand. She successfully pressed Pandora down on the blanket. She giggled and extended her right hand. Her index finger mimicked her sister's and turned into a needle that had the ability to scan the body. She stabbed it into Pandora's neck. "Hehe, idiot, it's my turn to examine you!"
Of course, Pandora wasn't to be outdone. Taking advantage of the fact that Visca was busy analyzing the data, she sneakily lifted her hand. With a 'zi zi' sound, the needle that was flashing with electricity stabbed into the back of Visca's head. Instantly, the two of them started to shiver.
Just like in the past, the two little brats, who were around 1.2 meters tall, rolled on the carpet as they fought. One of them grabbed my hair and the other bit my ear. This time, there was a new show, which was to transform their fingers into something long to examine their sister's body. Apart from the two brats' shouts, there was also the 'zi zi' sound of the system's self-examination restarting. It sounded really lively. As the central system was constantly being scanned and interrupted, the two of them even accidentally twitched a few times while they were fighting. I only watched for two minutes, but the things I filled in my head were already enough to write more than two million words. The entire living room was filled with beautiful lilies. It was really pleasing to the eye.
However, just as Sandora couldn't stand it anymore and was about to carry the two brats who had forgotten what they were supposed to do, Pandora and Visca suddenly shivered at the same time. Then, they lay there motionlessly.
I was shocked. Sandora went forward to check and shrugged at me, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Both of them crashed … It would be strange if they didn't crash after going through so much trouble in the final core. This is great. I set them in a forced hibernation mode. They should be able to sleep until 8 am tomorrow."
After sending the two brats back to their rooms, I returned to the living room and nodded at Sandora. "Alright, what did you want to say just now?"
"Telepathy." Sandora smiled warmly. "Do you think Visca's condition is normal?"
I was stunned. "Are you saying that the warning system of the moon base is offline?"
"That's right. All this while, the warning system of the moon base's defense perimeter has been fully delegated to the defense platform on Planet Barrier. The various anti-enemy radars that we have installed in the base are also attached to the secondary equipment chain. If they fail, it would mean that all of the warning radars on the moon base are down. But that is impossible. Before the collision, all the radars showed that everything was normal. There were no attack signals at all."
"You mean …" I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at Sandora. I was starting to get worried.
"I still can't figure out why Visca could have the Glory Starship. You should know that the Glory Starship is a projection of the Shiring Apostles' mental image when they reach the peak of their power. It requires the projection to have extremely powerful spiritual power and soul strength. However, over seven hundred thousand years ago, Visca didn't even have a complete personality. She couldn't even think sequentially. It's unbelievable that she would be able to launch an extremely complicated planet battleship in such a state."
I didn't interrupt and waited for Sandora to continue her speculation.
"It's still too early to explain why Visca could build the Glory Starship even when she was unconscious. We can temporarily treat it as an extremely low probability of coincidence. However, it's obvious that the starship is faulty. The connection between it and Visca seems to be too strong and it can't be turned off. This is a very troublesome hidden danger. If there was a meteor shower, I'm afraid Visca would really have to switch to vibration mode."
I was speechless.
"Of course, the most important thing is what's wrong with its warning system. Why didn't it react at all when there were three huge starship wreckages?"
That should be the key problem! That vibration mode just now could be treated as a one-time use point and thrown away!
"I'm afraid we'll have to ask Visca herself when the time comes, right?" I saw that Sandora didn't speak for a while, so I asked tentatively.
"But I'm worried that her emotions will become unstable again." Sandora frowned. "From the beginning, what she was most worried about was being treated as an alien or an inferior imitation of Pandora. That's why she's so competitive. As long as Pandora does something, she must do it just as well …"
"She can cause more trouble than Pandora. This is where she's better than her sister." I nodded.
Sandora pinched me. "Don't change the topic. What I'm saying is, if Visca knows that the Glory Starship that she's always been so proud of is actually a defective product, will she go crazy again?"
I looked at the worried girl in front of me and suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" The blonde girl looked at me with dissatisfaction. "If you laugh again, I'll eat you!"
I shivered. "Ahem, I didn't expect you to be so attentive. You seemed to be careless in the beginning."
Sandora bared her teeth. "I'm also a girl! It's normal to be attentive! Plus, I've been with you for a long time. I've been infected to the point where I like to let my imagination run wild. "
I smiled and rubbed Sandora's blonde hair. This girl was also so cute when she was angry. Because she wouldn't be angry in front of me. She was just showing her teeth now to show her existence. As for her worry for Visca, I actually had that thought too. But I suddenly understood. "I think, there shouldn't be a problem if I talk about it. That little guy is much gentler than you think."
"You're very confident in your big brother aura?"
"Not only that. More importantly, did you realize that the intimacy between Visca and Pandora has reached an unbelievable level?" I pinched the tip of Sandora's nose. "What were they doing when they were fooling around? They were using needles to stab each other's core! It's true that high-level apostles and above have the ability to revive, but would they allow someone else to mess with their core just because of that? Tyson isn't afraid of getting beaten up, right? But if he wants to beat someone up, he must have a relationship with someone above his father … In summary, the current Visca doesn't care if he's a replica of Pandora. He also doesn't care if he'll be seen as a burden by others. He just likes to be together with his sister. Even though they are always fooling around, I dare to guarantee that if one of the sisters were to suffer a loss on the battlefield, the other would be able to gather forty armies in two seconds to take revenge. "
"Alright, I understand." Sandora punched me. "But when will you get rid of your bad habit of going off topic every three sentences?"
"Cough cough. Anyway, I think it's better to talk to Visca about this. Look, her Glory starship's defense has malfunctioned, but she doesn't know it at all. Has she never used her Glory form in the past? How did she deal with such a situation in the past? Or could it be that this' malfunction 'only appeared recently? I'm afraid only she can explain these things clearly. "
"But that requires time. Visca wouldn't like to reminisce about those things."
"Of course." I sighed. "If it's possible, no one would want Visca to reminisce about those days. But I'm really worried that this problem isn't solved. What if there's a meteor shower one day? Wouldn't Visca be shaken for an entire day? Plus, this Glory starship doesn't even know how to protect itself. If, and I'm just saying if, someone really attacks our capital world, the moon will be a lethal target! "
"It is indeed a hidden danger. Until now, I still don't understand how the three collisions evaded the moon base's countless layers of defense systems. The starship's early warning radar, starship shield, deflection force field, and even the simplest mass sensor were blinded before the collisions happened. There were no reports … I didn't realize that Visca's barrier star had such an exaggerated malfunction. It has been performing normally in all the tests!"
"The defense department will figure it out." I came before the holographic projection in the middle of the living room. The image was still showing the scene of the first collision. The huge, twisted piece of metal stood at the bottom of the crater, constantly bursting with blue flashes. The leaking psionic energy flowed through the cracks of the crater that had turned into crystals. It looked dimmer than before. It seemed that the psionic energy from the collision had dissipated during the explosion. Now, it was in a weakened state. "What are the other two extraterrestrial visitors?"
"When you sent the two kids back to their room, the other scouts reported back. However, the three fragments are similar in nature." Sandora came before the holographic projection. "The second fragment is the same size as the first one. Although it is distorted beyond recognition, it should be the same type of module. The third fragment is as big as the first two fragments combined. It's super huge. Not only did it break through the moon soil, but its subsequent explosion even evaporated the moon's crust within a few hundred kilometers. Take a look."
As Sandora spoke, the image changed. A shocking flatland appeared before me.
A crater? Perhaps that was the general shape, but this time, the bottom of the 'crater' wasn't made of black, crystalline moon soil. The violent impact had evaporated the rocks and soil inside the crater, revealing a large area of silvery-white armor plates. There were traces of ablation on the armor plates. I even saw a blood-red triangular mark. It was Visca's logo, which could be seen everywhere on Planet Barrier. The first collision object was embedded in the center of the alloy ground that had been melted and forged at high temperatures. It was smoking and flashing with electricity. There was a circle of black radial impact scars on the ground.
"It could be an energy buffer unit on a large spaceship. When the collision occurred, it was filled with psionic energy. This thing was at least three kilometers long when it was intact. It's a pity that we couldn't find its interface, so we couldn't determine what kind of spaceship it came from."
"Even an expert like you can't tell? Such a big thing should have a special function, right? "
"Even an expert can't tell." Sandora sighed. "I told you, it's a universal module. There are many modules in the Empire's large spaceships that are universal. One module can be used in more than twenty spaceships. The only difference is the interface adapter, but the adapter is usually the easiest to damage. Right now, the only conclusion we can make is that these three fragments came from the same spaceship. This spaceship should be at least ten kilometers in size, so it should be at least expeditionary grade or at most Eternal grade. In any case, an Empire spaceship disintegrated in a faraway space, and its wreckage fell into this universe. Then, it passed through our warning system and directly exploded on the outer shell of the moon base. Fortunately, Visca's Planet Barrier is known for its defense. This kind of impact, which was enough to blow through the main armor of a spaceship on a normal planet, only caused a few moon quakes and indirectly destroyed our coffee table and sofa. Ah Jun, can I eat them for supper? I haven't eaten my fill tonight … "
I realized something. Sandora's actions seemed to change according to whether she was hungry or not. The only thing that could affect the queen's judgment was the leftover food!
Sandora quickly and efficiently disposed of the wreckage in the living room. The whole process was unbearable. I really didn't know how her small mouth chewed through a pile of wood and marble. After she finished eating, she leaned over and kissed my nose. "Smell it. There's no smell. You can't dislike me because of this …"
I knocked her on the head and looked up at the time. Anveena had already gone to the kitchen to do the midnight cleaning. It was already half past eleven at night.
At this time, Mercury Lamp was definitely asleep. That girl had a habit of waiting for me to come back when I was out. But when I was at home, she was more carefree than anyone else. She slept when it was time and never left the door open. If I went back to my room now, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that I would wake her up. Then, I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.
"Sandora, let's go to your room today."
I chuckled and quickly lowered my head to kiss Sandora's ear. "We haven't been alone for a few days …"
Sandora's face immediately turned slightly red. Even the iron queen could be shy and gentle. Then, she giggled and pointed at the pocket in front of my chest. "You think of a way to deal with this little thing first. I guarantee that she will wake up the moment you take off your clothes. Then, she will lie between us and ask a hundred thousand why's. You will use one night to tell her a hundred thousand why's …"
Me: "…"
You can't play like this! Next time, I can't let Jingle stay in my pocket after ten at night!
