A Beauty Visits

(This chapter is free)

The next few days were calm. The mysterious attack in the market a few days ago seemed to have completely disappeared without a trace. If Pandora hadn't reported to me that the two mysterious attackers had escaped, I would have thought they had been blasted into dust by the ubiquitous Shilin Space Weapons.

Today was a rare day off. At noon, my sister personally cooked, saying she wanted to make up for Pan Lili's welcome party that she had missed due to being too busy with work – although the person concerned had no interest in this at all.

It was called a welcome party, but the only people attending were Pandora, my sister, me, and Xu Qianqian, who had come to join the fun. Although there weren't many people, this kind of gathering gave me a warmer feeling, a feeling that those who spent their days socializing at various parties could never experience.

After everyone was seated, my sister spoke first: "Now, let's welcome our sister Lili – although this welcome is a bit late."

Qian Qian and I applauded together.

Pandora remained silent, sitting motionless at the table...

Seeing Pandora's lack of reaction, my sister, whose maternal instincts were in full swing, immediately thought of Pandora's "tragic experiences." She gently held Pandora's hand and said, "Lili, you don't have to worry anymore. From now on, you are a member of this family. I will take care of you like a real sister. No one can hurt you again."

I completely believed the part about no one being able to hurt Pandora, because according to the historical data collected so far, the last civilization that tried to resist the Pandora Legion has already turned into cosmic dust...

Qian Qian also radiated maternal brilliance. She held Pandora's other hand and said, "Yes, sister Lili, you don't have to worry about anyone bullying you anymore. And with us taking care of you, maybe you'll even have a chance to see again!"

Cough cough... What I wanted to say was, actually, Pandora could even see clearly how many E. coli were on your hand...

"A Jun, you say something too," seeing me just focusing on picking up food without saying a word, Qian Qian couldn't help but get a little angry. "This is your own sister! And Lili is usually so clingy to you."

I looked up and saw the doll-like cute but indifferent Pandora. Her unfocused eyes turned in my direction. Perhaps it was the telepathy that had developed from communicating with Pandora through mental connection all this time, but I instinctively felt that Pandora's attention was completely focused on the Crispy Chicken Strips in my hand.

"Here, eat." I extended my chopsticks forward, and then, to prove that Pandora really couldn't see, I directly put the chicken strip into her mouth.

Watching Pandora quietly eating, I was quite curious how, as a magical construct life form, she could be interested in the food of these carbon-based life forms.

Qian Qian looked at the interaction between us "siblings" helplessly, covering her forehead with a long sigh: "A Jun, you really are... exactly the same as before, not changed at all."

My sister smiled and smoothed things over: "Although A Jun seems not very good at expressing emotions, he still cares about Lili very much."

"This guy is indeed not very good at it..." Qian Qian suddenly became a little emotional. "Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long time since we've gathered like this, ever since I moved out."

"Yes," my sister also sighed with emotion. "I remember back then you two were just little kids the same age as Lili is now, crying like anything when you parted. Now you're both so grown up..."

"Don't talk about yourself like an old lady," I rolled my eyes at my sister, who was lamenting the passage of time, but felt a little guilty in my heart – for so many years, my sister had carried the heavy burden of the family on her shoulders. She was my sister, but more often than not, she played the role of a mother, so it was understandable that she would have such feelings.

Perhaps, ever since she began to bear the burden of this fragile family back then, her heart no longer belonged to a young girl.

The relatively thick-skinned Qian Qian obviously didn't think so much. She laughed heartily and said, "Exactly, exactly. Sister Chen Qian is still young and beautiful, why say such old-fashioned things? Speaking of which, has Sister Chen Qian found a boyfriend? I wonder which lucky guy will have this honor?"

"You dead girl!" My sister scolded with a smile. "Can't you think of something serious?"

"How is this not serious? This concerns Sister Chen Qian's lifelong happiness!"

They say women have two great skills: chatting and shopping. Now my sister and Qian Qian had perfectly demonstrated the first skill to me. In no time, the two of them were completely in interactive mode, so much so that the original center of this gathering – Pandora – was left aside.

"Ah, I was so busy messing around with you that I actually forgot about sister Lili!" My sister finally reacted and exclaimed, but unfortunately, Pandora had no reaction from beginning to end. Whether she was unintentionally ignored or called by name at this moment, she just quietly ate the food in front of her, occasionally fumbling to pick up food to play the role of a blind girl. She looked as if the whole world had abandoned her.

Pandora, you're going to make my sister feel guilty...

As expected, seeing Pandora like this, the two girls who had been chatting happily just now immediately felt guilty. My sister was the first to pick up the untouched wine glass in front of her and said, "Lili, I'm sorry, I'll drink a penalty!"

I quickly tried to stop her: "Sister, don't..."

Too late...

This process can be simplified into the following words: raise glass, touch lips, sister immediately collapses.

Looking at my sister who had already fallen onto the table, Qian Qian said, "I didn't expect Sister Chen Qian's alcohol tolerance to be so low."

At this moment, Pandora's voice suddenly sounded in my mind: Brother, one of the two carbon-based life forms that attacked us yesterday has appeared.

My heart skipped a beat, but I didn't show it. Instead, while chatting and laughing with Qian Qian, I asked through the mental connection: What's going on? Where is that person? Are they coming for us?

Just outside the door – the other party still has no hostility. The conclusion drawn from analyzing the hormone state in their body is that there is no intention to attack, but the other party's threat cannot be ruled out.

Outside the door?

I pondered for a moment, then replied through the mental connection: Don't stop them, wait and see. If the other party really intends to act, protecting sister and Qian Qian is the priority –

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Huh, A Jun, did you invite someone else today?" Qian Qian asked strangely.

"Oh," I waved my hand, telling the ready Qian Qian to sit down. "It's a friend. You stay with Lili for now, I'll go open the door."

Although Pandora told me that the other party had no hostility, and I also believed that Pandora had the ability to handle everything before the other party launched an attack, the other party was still someone who had ambushed me a few days ago, and that attack method was indeed powerful. Therefore, standing at the door, I was still a little nervous.

However, this nervous feeling immediately turned into surprise as I opened the door.

I had imagined the other party to be a cold-faced young man, a scruffy black-clothed uncle, a scar-faced man with fierce eyes, or even a fully armed terrorist, but I had not expected at all that the other party would be a sweet-looking, tall, beautiful girl.

However, the expression of this beautiful woman with a goose-yellow coat and shoulder-length hair was not very good at this time. Although the other party tried to put on a smile, the deep anger was easily detected by me.

It seemed that the other party must have suffered a lot under those Shilin weapons a few days ago.

Since the other party's appearance was completely beyond my expectation, the words I had prepared for meeting them were completely useless. We looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds, and I finally blurted out: "You have a big life!"

The beautiful woman opposite immediately darkened her pretty face.

Lin Xue was very unhappy now, extremely unhappy!

The reason was the man in front of her.

About ten days ago, a school shooting occurred at the school Lin Xue had transferred to to carry out a mission. Several students were injured as a result. Since her ability was not suitable for this kind of frontal combat, Lin Xue chose to report the situation to her superiors and wait for support. But just as she finished reporting, three armed thugs suddenly fell to the ground, behaving abnormally. Later, after examination, doctors were surprised to find that their IQ had dropped to the level of rats, which meant they had become idiots.

Despite the numerous suspicious points in this incident, no eyewitness could provide any valuable information, except for Lin Xue.

She discovered two things worth noting.

The first was when the three criminals fell. Lin Xue clearly remembered that the three people were standing there the moment before, but in the next instant, they fell to the ground and became idiots. There was absolutely no process of falling in between – it was as if a section of a video had been cut out! Originally, such an obvious anomaly should have been noticeable to anyone, but the situation at the time was too chaotic, and none of the fleeing students noticed this point, to the extent that Lin Xue now even doubted if she had seen it incorrectly at the time.

If there was a possibility of seeing the first point incorrectly, the second point was absolutely certain – after the three criminals fell to the ground, Lin Xue felt abnormal energy fluctuations from the two students opposite.

Lin Xue was 100% confident in her abilities, so she immediately reported this situation to her superiors, who then gave her instructions to test the target individuals.

Then, the nightmare-like day arrived.

Lin Xue clearly remembered that when Lin Feng's wind blade passed by the older boy, the other party didn't react at all. Even the weakest ability user couldn't fail to sense the obvious energy fluctuation that Lin Feng had deliberately emitted. Just when Lin Xue thought her judgment was wrong and that the other party were just two ordinary students, she discovered that not only did those two people immediately notice the trace left by the wind blade, but they were also calmly discussing something!

The other party had discovered her attack long ago and didn't even take such an attack seriously!

Having reached this conclusion, Lin Xue immediately decided to retreat, but it seemed everything was already too late, because a heart-stopping energy gathered above her head almost instantly. Lin Xue even suspected that if such powerful energy were to fall to the ground, it would directly evaporate the entire city!

The expected death did not come. Perhaps out of consideration for the innocent, the other party stopped the attack, and the energy gathered in the sky quickly dissipated – although the energy had already caused a considerable disturbance during its gathering process.

Sensing the other party's power, Lin Xue decisively pulled along Lin Feng, who was still somewhat confused, and began to flee desperately.

They fled for a whole day and night.

The other party didn't seem to intend to kill them; they were just playing with Lin Xue and Lin Feng to their heart's content. An energy beam invisible to the naked eye followed closely behind them without stopping, driving them to run like madmen on the street. Whenever they ran out of energy and had to rest, that energy would also stop. When they finally recovered a little energy, that deadly energy followed again...

This cat-and-mouse game continued until the next morning.

Then Lin Xue and Lin Feng took a taxi back from a nearby town...

Despite being chased so miserably, Lin Xue still didn't dare to offend those two people, because such powerful ability users were too valuable to the organization. No matter what, she couldn't let these two people become enemies with the organization because of her.

Therefore, today Lin Xue suppressed the grievance and anger of being played with and rushed to apologize. Unexpectedly, the other party's first sentence was like that!
