Chapter 39: Lies and Mind Control

I almost forgot that this young lady that had a happy, silly, smile on her face was no ordinary girl… but a conqueror who had led armies to sweep over countless worlds. As much as she was temporarily not on a warpath—when she grew angry, she was still a true-blue female empress.

A chilly aura emanated from Sandora, and the target of this aura—the three rich kids—were so frightened that they couldn’t help it but take two steps back. They found to their astonishment that the rather warm and gentle young girl a second ago had suddenly transformed into an empress-like person that they didn’t dare to look straight at. A sense of fear that they had never experienced before even triggered a desire to turn and flee. Perhaps they have experienced the aura of an heir to a throne; however, they definitely had not come in touch with someone who had conquered worlds before.

At this time, I finally recalled why these few people were so familiar. I had seen them before. Not long ago, these few guys had bullied one of my schoolmates in front of the school gates. That was also the first time that I successfully managed to connect to the Xyrin home-star and activated the trans-spatial Fire Support System. That incident had also attracted many thrill-seekers and paranormal activity experts to come and investigate. As to why the ground had suddenly melted, many theories had been formed.

Some only needed the gentlest touch and the most brilliant director to turn these theories into Oscar-winning movies and ideas. Unfortunately, in the end, a few experts commenting that ‘this was a natural phenomenon’ had poured cold water on many people’s dreams and ideas. The entire matter soon was forgotten, and I had naturally also forgotten about these few idiots from that day.

Seeing Sandora looking as if she was about to embark on a killing spree, I subtly nudged her and said softly, “Surely, you aren’t thinking to embark on a war to annihilate the human race?”

“Relax,” Sandora answered, “I know my limits. Go over there and accompany your girlfriend.”

“Alright, just don’t blow things out of proportion.”

I walked next to Qianqian and patted her shoulder to comfort her. I then caressed Pandora’s brain and praised, ‘Little lass, good job.”

Pandora immediately closed her eyes briefly to enjoy this moment while Sandora’s voice rang out in my mind: “An actual Empire Warrior had been turned into this by you; does this lass still resemble a soldier now?”

I did not respond to Sandora’s nagging. As a conquering emperor that had been constantly on expeditions, how could she understand the essence of nurturing a true Lolita?

“Ah Jun,” Qianqian suddenly said softly, “That day when the ground melted on the ground; was that you…”

“What do you think?” I smiled and replied.

Qianqian suddenly said sourly, “That girl called Sandora; what’s up with her?”

“… As for her identity, it is very complicated. I can only guarantee that her relationship with me is not what you think. This girl has a special connection to me, and so she likes to hang out with me very much. However, this relationship seems to be more like… how can I put it? Like that between me and Lili.”

“Like Lili and you?” Qianqian asked, surprised.

“It is like telepathy.” Pandora’s voice suddenly rang out in Qianqian’s mind, making her jump. However, Qianqian immediately thought about their identity as ‘persons with special abilities’ as she answered without speaking, “Telepathy? Really?”

“It’s like this. Although the reason is still unknown, Big Sister Sandora indeed has telepathy with us.”

“You said ‘us’? Could it be you three all have this telepathy?”

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be three people. Big Brother and I can vaguely sense that in a faraway place, others who are like us are around. However, at the moment, the one with the strongest connection to us is Big Sister Sandora. Hence, Big Sister Qianqian, you don’t have to be suspicious of Big Sister Sandora and Big Brother’s relationship; they only look intimate because of telepathy. The feeling between Big Brother and I is actually exactly the same.”

“So this is the case…” Qianqian finally breathed out in relief as she looked better as well.

“Big Brother, I have created a good lie for you.” Pandora’s voice rang out in my mind.

I had been listening to Pandora and Qianqian’s spiritual connection. I suddenly asked strangely: “… I did not think that you would be so good at lying; who did you learn from?”

“After doing a comprehensive analysis of carbon-based beings’ train of thought and human language expression methods, the information I have provided to Qianqian seems to be the most ideal way to resolve this matter…” Pandora’s unique answering voice appeared once again. However, she added another sentence, “Big Brother, don’t worry. I will definitely not lie to you.”

Pandora seems to feel more like a normal human girl now than ever; this was really a good thing. Of course, the premise was that she wouldn’t learn all the bad stuff as well.

Although the conversation above seemed to have taken a long time—as most of it had been communicated through a spiritual connection that was near instantaneous, actually only a few seconds had gone by for this explanation to be given by Pandora to Qianqian.

At this time, Sandora had managed to keep her aura in check; and the few rich boys finally managed to recover from her murderous aura. They looked suspiciously at the icy-cold and tall blond lady in front of them as they suddenly didn’t know how to proceed.

Finally, their leader seemed to have mustered some courage as he calmed himself down with much effort. He then took a step forward and—putong!—knelt on the ground.

Ha? What was he doing? Could it be he was so afraid of Sandora that he couldn’t even stand? Or could he be a controlled slave now?

Alright, I’d admit that the second explanation was preposterous.

Not only me, but everyone else watching also couldn’t help but exclaim softly. They were utterly stunned by the change in developments.

“Young Master Liu!” The two followers of this rich boy were stunned as they hurriedly cried out. They were about to help their leader up.

I finally found out that this dude’s surname was Liu.

The two henchmen hurriedly walked forward, stretched out their hands and…

Bam-bam! Slapped him soundly!

“Huh!”

“Young Master Liu!” The two followers exclaimed at the same time. They looked at their hands that were still trembling slightly with disbelief as they continued, ‘Young Master Liu, we…”

“You two…” the still-kneeling Young Master Liu finally came to his senses as he roared, “Do you two believe that I will destroy your families tomorrow!”

The two followers were utterly lost for words now. Hearing Young Master Liu’s devilish threats, their faces immediately turned pale as they protested, “Young Master Liu, we really don’t know what happened. We suddenly…”

Bam-bam! Bam-bam-bam! Bam-bam-bam!

Under everyone’s looks of disbelief, the two followers wailed frantically as they apologized while—at the same time—smacked their leader’s face. What was more astonishing was while Young Master Liu kept on cursing and swearing, he did not seem to try to shy away from the slaps at all. Not only did he not do so, but he even kept on raising his face up high as if making it easier for the duo to hit him!

I raised my head and looked curiously at Sandora, and at the same time, she revealed a mischievous grin at me.

So it was her pulling the strings!

“Ah Jun,” Qianqian suddenly tugged on my sleeve and asked, “What is going on? Why are they fighting among themselves?”

I replied in a very low voice, “This is Sandora’s ability… group mind control.”

“Ah—” Qianqian suddenly gasped, “She actually has this ability… this is too… frightening…”

Indeed, mind control on humans was really a little unfair and improper. Unfortunately, besides this explanation, I did not know how else to explain to Qianqian the current situation.

At this time, I saw that some teachers were rushing over. It seemed as if the teachers that were already present—that didn’t dare to step forward because they knew the troublemaker’s identity—saw that things were escalating; and they couldn’t help it but finally intervene.

They couldn’t be blamed. After all, this was a very realistic society. In order to survive, they had to do so.

I secretly used my spiritual connection to order a few Commanders disguised as school personnel around to come and help to settle this matter as I called out to Sandora. “Let’s go, Sandora. There’s nothing to see here. They don’t seem very normal.”

Sandora answered me as she happily skipped towards us as she walked alongside us. Behind us, the sounds of slaps being administered could still be heard.
