Chapter 7: The Tough Little Sister
A sudden voice from behind interrupted my quiet conversation with Pandora. I turned around and saw Xu Qianqian running towards us
Alright, alright, but you must remember what I tell you in advance
As Pandora's voice fell, the sky suddenly underwent a transformation
At that moment, a loud "bang" came from our left front, and then I saw a large group of students running out from the nearby Canglan Private High School. One student, who was at the front, shouted, "Run! They have guns!"
She let out a soft "oh," and then, realizing that discussing these matters might hurt the little girl's feelings, she took the initiative to shift the topic elsewhere. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, I can no longer afford to consider the underlying story behind the shooting incident that occurred within the prestigious school; I have only one thought: I must stop those three men! Otherwise, every student here could be in danger!
But it is precisely such an absurd situation that I encountered, to be specific, it was a school shooting that took place at an elite school, which I, an ordinary student studying nearby, happened to witness
It is indeed the case, but Lily insists on being with me, so I have no choice but to go along with her. Moreover, Lily has strong self-care abilities; although it is somewhat challenging, she is still able to attend classes in a regular school.
Is that so... However, if that's the case, she should be attending a school for the blind and visually impaired, right? I see that the transfer certificate she is holding is for our school.
Relying solely on my own strength is certainly impossible. If it were the old me, in such a situation, I would only have the option to flee. But now, I have another choice
I looked up and down at Pandora, who was wearing a tight-fitting alloy battle suit, and inexplicably blurted out: "Indeed—completely undeveloped"
A Jun
If Qianqian truly wants to get to the bottom of Pandora's situation, I would really be at a loss to handle it
"Alright," upon arriving at the school gate, Xu Qianqian happily held Pandora's hand and said, "This is the school you will be attending in the future. How is it? Not bad, right... Oh, I apologize, I forgot that you can't see..."
Three armed men, while taking hostages, rushed towards a nearby white sedan, firing indiscriminately in all directions. It seemed that due to their extreme tension, their shots were completely off target. Nevertheless, a few students were still grazed by bullets, falling to the ground in screams—if this continued, it was only a matter of time before a student could be fatally shot
I would be even happier if she didn't go to school
"I don't mind," Pandora said flatly, then gently leaned closer to me, appearing reluctant to be with a stranger
Pandora, did you not say that the Celestial Apostles are a naturally born warrior race? Do you have a way to resolve the current crisis at hetushu.com? I anxiously inquired in my heart
Ah—" Xu Qianqian opened her mouth wide, responding with a hint of disbelief. The scenario of long-lost siblings unexpectedly reuniting was simply too dramatic, something one would typically only see on television. Now, it was happening right before her eyes, leaving her somewhat at a loss for how to react. "Really... it's so incredible. Congratulations to you all..."
Qianqian spoke softly, bending down carefully to touch Pandora's cheek with her hand, "Does your sister really see nothing at all?"
With a sudden scream, I saw three tall men rush out from the school across the street, each holding a firearm, and indeed, they were the real deal! The one in the middle, a robust man who looked like a bull, was dragging someone who was clearly a student. Judging by the bloodstains on the victim's pants, which were already soaked, this was the victim of the gunshot we had just heard.
The information preservation and encryption technology in this world is primitive and backward. Pandora, in a matter-of-fact tone, belittles the modern computing technology that humanity takes pride in.
The first time I encountered such an exaggerated scene in reality, I was surprisingly calm. Should I say that my nerves are indeed quite resilient?
I am not entirely speaking falsely; Pandora's eyes indeed cannot see anything. However, aside from these eyes, the 132 types of multi-band scanning radars she has activated at https://wwwhetushucomcom are certainly not just for show
A Jun, why didn't you come to class yesterday? You didn't even ask for leave... Hmm? Who is this little girl?
What? I was bewildered by Pandora's report and momentarily did not know how to respond
Her name is Pan Lili, and she is my younger sister
In this situation, I can only exclaim: Science fiction, this scene is simply too science fiction...
If everything continues to develop in this manner, the situation cannot be considered too dire; it is merely that there is an additional, rather quiet younger sister in the household. However, I soon realized that the troubles this little girl could bring me were far beyond just that.
"Pandora, are you sure you want to go to school with me?" As I walked on the way to school, I felt a headache looking at the transfer certificate in Pandora's hand. I really do not want such an unstable factor to remain among humans—although I hope she can integrate into humanity as soon as possible, I am still somewhat uneasy about her being alone. While I worry about her being bullied, more importantly, I am concerned about her bullying others.

"Your sister?" Xu Qianqian looked at Pandora in surprise. She was aware of my background, so the sudden mention of an additional sister took her aback. "You have a sister?"
Campus shooting? No way? This is so absurd
As the sole guardian of the emperor within this realm, I must remain by your side as much as possible. The Pandora clock and the books remain unchanged, yet the tone conveys an undeniable sense of authority
Pandora paid no attention to my remarks, but continued to fix her cold gaze ahead.
Thus, Pandora smoothly settled into my home. Although there were still many unclear aspects regarding her identity, my sister seemed to be completely unconcerned, treating her as if she were her own younger sister. Overflowing with compassion, she would never have imagined that the pitiful little sister before her was actually a terrifying unknown entity.
Initially, I was concerned that in this era where citizenship authentication methods are quite sophisticated, Pandora's identity issues would become a significant problem. However, when Pandora privately showed me the complete set of identification and proof of her credentials from her bag, I was thoroughly impressed
However, it is evident that I cannot express this directly.
At this moment, I reiterated to Xu Qianqian the explanation about Pandora's identity that I had discussed with my sister. I concluded by saying: "That's how it is. Since both Lily and I were adopted, we have no idea what our original surname should be. Therefore, I have given up on the idea of having Lily change her surname. She is surnamed Pan, but she is indeed my biological sister"
Indeed, I had not anticipated that either
Accompanied by a terrifying low hum, the sky rapidly transformed into a dark red hue, and countless golden stripes gradually emerged in the atmosphere above us, ultimately forming a golden clock of time and books that covered the entire sky. With the appearance of the clock, everything around us suddenly came to a standstill; fleeing students became motionless statues, swirling dust halted in mid-air, displaying various exquisite particle clouds, and the fluttering scraps of paper eerily froze in place, resembling the uneven spots created by overexposure in old photographs.
Lily's visual nerves are completely fine, but it is possible that due to severe psychological stimulation, she is now completely unable to see anything
At the moment time stood still, Pandora Zero beside me also entered combat mode. Accompanied by a green stream resembling the data flow from a science fiction film, a silver, form-fitting alloy battle suit appeared on Pandora. A translucent light green visor concealed her features from the bridge of her nose downward, leaving only a pair of mutated, pupil-less purplish-red eyes that calmly gazed ahead.

Receiving external command set ... ... Fuzzy command analysis ... ... Executing ! ''
Yes. I gently stroked Pandora's hair, subtly pulling her back a little. Although Pandora had already pretended to be blind as I instructed to conceal her completely unfocused eyes, I still worried that being too close might expose her.
Meanwhile, the voice of the Pandora mechanism echoed in my mind: "One hundred seventy-five meters to the front left, carbon-based life forms with danger markers detected, the opponent is poorly armed, threat level extremely low, should we eliminate now?"
