Lying and Mind Control

I had almost forgotten that this girl, who always wore a happy, silly smile by my side, wasn't just an ordinary girl. She was a conqueror capable of leading vast armies to sweep across countless worlds. Even though she was currently in a temporary period of war-weariness, when she became angry, she was still an Empress who looked down upon all living beings.

A formidable aura erupted from Sandora. The three young masters, who were the targets of this aura, were so startled that they couldn't help but retreat two steps. They were surprised to find that the girl who had been gentle and lovely just a second ago was now like an emperor, making it impossible to look directly at her. A terrifying aura they had never experienced before even made them feel the urge to turn and run – perhaps they had seen the aura of those in high positions, but the killing intent carried by a ruler who had experienced countless battles was something they could never have encountered.

It was then that I finally remembered why the few people in front of me looked so familiar – I had indeed seen them before. Not long ago, it was these same people who were bullying a male student from our school at the school gate. It was also at that time that I successfully connected with the Shilin Mother Planet for the first time and launched a cross-space firepower support. After that incident, it attracted many enthusiasts of strange phenomena and experts from various fields to conduct on-site investigations. There were also various theories about why the ground suddenly melted, including some brilliant ideas that, with a little refinement and a talented director, could be directly made into a movie and win an Oscar. Unfortunately, in the end, a few experts' statement: "Actually, this is a normal natural phenomenon," poured cold water on the public's curiosity like hot milk on snow, and the whole incident gradually subsided. Naturally, I also gradually forgot about these few minor characters from that day.

Seeing Sandora's cold face, looking ready to unleash a massacre, I quietly nudged her arm and whispered, "You're not planning to start a human extinction war, are you?"

"Don't worry," Sandora replied, "I know my limits. Go and be with your girlfriend."

"Alright, just don't make too much noise."

I walked over to Qian Qian, patted her shoulder comfortingly, then stroked Pandora's little head and praised, "Little one, well done."

Pandora immediately closed her eyes slightly, looking like she was enjoying it. Sandora's voice sounded in my mind: What have you turned a perfectly good Empire General into? Does this girl have any military bearing left?

I didn't respond to Sandora's grumbling – as an Empire Emperor who had been fighting wars outside for years, how could she understand the essence of Loli cultivation... cough cough...?

"A Jun," Qian Qian suddenly whispered, "That incident at the school gate where the ground melted, was it you...?"

"What do you think?" I said with a smile.

Qian Qian suddenly said sourly, "What's going on with that girl named Sandora?"

"...Regarding her identity, it's very complicated. I can only assure you: my relationship with her is absolutely not what you think. There is a special connection between this girl and me, which is why she likes being with me so much. But this connection is actually more similar to... how should I put it, it should be the kind of connection between Lily and me."

"Between Lily and you?" Qian Qian asked in surprise.

"Similar to telepathy," Pandora's voice suddenly sounded in Qian Qian's mind, startling Qian Qian. But immediately, Qian Qian remembered the other party's identity as an Esper, so she also tried to answer in her mind: Telepathy? Really?

That's right. Although the reason is unclear, Sister Sandora can indeed have telepathy with us.

You said 'us'? Can she have telepathy with all three of you?

Not necessarily three people, because both my brother and I can vaguely feel that there are people who can resonate with us in a more distant place. It's just that the person we have the strongest connection with at the moment is only Sister Sandora. So, Sister Qian Qian doesn't need to doubt the relationship between Sister Sandora and Brother. They just seem close because of telepathy. This feeling is the same as the feeling between Brother and me.

"So that's how it is..." Qian Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her complexion also improved significantly.

Brother, I've covered for you, Pandora's voice sounded in my mind.

I had been eavesdropping on Pandora and Qian Qian's mental connection just now, and at this moment, I couldn't help but wonder, "...I didn't expect your lying skills to be so good. Who did you learn from?"

Based on a comprehensive analysis of Carbon-Based Lifeforms' thinking patterns and human language expression modes, the above information is the optimal processing solution... Pandora's unique way of answering appeared again, but at the end, she added, Brother, don't worry, I will never lie to Brother.

I felt that Pandora was becoming more and more like a normal human little girl, which was a good thing. Of course, the premise was that she didn't learn bad things.

The conversation above seemed to have taken a long time, but since most of it was instantaneous communication completed through mental connection, only a few seconds had passed by the time I explained Sandora's issue to Qian Qian here.

At this moment, Sandora finally withdrew her mental pressure. The few young masters also finally recovered from that terrifying killing intent. They looked at the cold and arrogant blonde girl in front of them with surprise and uncertainty, and for a moment, they didn't know how to react.

Finally, the leading minor character seemed to have mustered up his courage. He saw him steady himself, then took a step forward, and with a "thump," he knelt on the ground.

Huh? What kind of development is this? Could it be that this kid was so scared by Sandora that he couldn't even stand? Or is this another queen-conquered type?

Alright, I admit, the second reason is just for nonsense...

It wasn't just me; everyone around couldn't help but let out a low gasp, caught off guard by this sudden change.

"Liu Shao!" The two super minor character lackeys who had been following the minor character rich kid were slightly stunned, then quickly let out a cry of surprise, preparing to step forward and help their boss who was kneeling on the ground.

Now I finally knew, it turned out that this guy I had long called a minor character was named Liu.

The two minor character lackeys quickly walked forward, then reached out...

Slap! Slap! Two loud slaps!

"Ah!"

"Liu Shao!" The two lackeys simultaneously let out a cry of surprise, then looked at their hands, which were still slightly trembling, with disbelief. "Liu Shao, we..."

"You two..." Liu Shao, who was still kneeling on the ground, finally reacted to what had happened and immediately roared, "Do you believe I'll make your families ruined and your lives destroyed tomorrow!"

The two lackeys had completely lost their composure now. Hearing Liu Shao's vicious threat, their faces instantly turned pale: "Liu Shao, we really don't know what's going on, it just suddenly..."

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

Under everyone's bewildered gaze, the two lackeys, while apologizing to the kneeling Liu Shao with snot and tears, slapped the latter's cheeks with both hands. What was even stranger was that the person being beaten, despite constantly cursing and threatening loudly, had no intention of dodging at all – not only did he not dodge, but he kept raising his face, as if to make it easier for the two people hitting him to strike!

I curiously looked up at Sandora and happened to see her give me a mischievous smile.

So it was this girl who was causing trouble!

"A Jun," Qian Qian suddenly pulled at the corner of my clothes from behind, "What's going on? Why are they hitting themselves?"

I lowered my voice and replied, "This is Sandora's superpower, Group Mind Control."

"Ah—" Qian Qian immediately let out a low gasp, "To actually have this kind of ability... This is too... scary..."

Indeed, mind control is definitely a very unjust ability for humans. Unfortunately, besides this explanation, I really didn't know how to explain the current situation to Qian Qian.

At this moment, I saw that teachers were already rushing over not far away – it seemed that the teachers here had been afraid to show up due to the troublemakers' identities, but now seeing the situation developing in a bad direction, they finally couldn't hold back.

You couldn't blame them. After all, this was a very realistic society. To survive, they had to do this.

I secretly gave orders through mental connection to the few Empire Commanders disguised as school staff nearby, asking them to help deal with the aftermath, and then I loudly called out to Sandora, "Let's go, Sandora, there's nothing more to see. Those few seem to be mentally unstable."

Sandora agreed, happily bounced over, and walked alongside us. Behind us, the sound of "slap, slap" continued to come
