Colonial Suit

Chapter 447: Crisis! Pandora About to Stop!

"Hmm?" Blood Pupil noticed Hake's expression and asked, "What is it?"

Hake ignored him and suddenly asked Pandora, "You are Pandora, the little girl who ran away from the Clay family of the Third World?"

"Huh?"

Pandora was originally very quiet, but her face changed when she heard the name Clay family. Her fair little hands gripped the hem of her maid outfit even tighter. Her eyes revealed a look of horror.

"You… How do you know… Clay… Clay family…"

"Heh…" Hake smiled slightly and shook his head. "I know a lot of things. Like your identity, and how many people are looking for you. I knew you were by Blood Pupil's side a long time ago, but this is the first time I've really paid attention to you. How is it… are you used to life outside the laboratory?"

"Laboratory…" Pandora's face turned even paler, and the look in her eyes turned to fear. Unconsciously, her body began to tremble slightly.

"No… I don't want to go back…"

At this moment, Pandora was so panicked, looking like a little deer being targeted by a hunter. She was trembling all over, her fragility arousing pity. Even Blood Pupil felt a little unbearable when he saw it and was about to persuade Hake, but then he heard Hake say.

"Don't act like that. It's useless on me. Speaking of which, I really admire the civilization that created you… they even simulated this kind of emotion so vividly. I wonder if your core also understands the meaning of fear at this moment?"

"You… What are you talking about… I… I don't understand," Pandora said timidly, moving her feet little by little, trying to hide behind Blood Pupil and Robbie.

Looking at her fearful expression, Hake shook his head again. "Forget it, I'm not interested in you. With Blood Pupil protecting you, I won't touch you. But I want to remind you, although you can go on this trip to the Fourth World, you better know how to disguise yourself a little. You should know how much the Fourth World desires you right now. If you get caught, don't expect me to intervene."

"That's a death wish, I won't do that."

"Is it that serious?" Blood Pupil, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject, "I don't seem to have noticed anyone searching for her. The mercenaries' intelligence didn't show anything either…"

"If you knew, would it still be called a game of the higher worlds?" Hake sneered in response. "To tell you the truth, Pandora is much more important than you think. As far as I know, not only the Fourth World, but even the Third World is determined to get her. If you're not prepared to protect her, you better leave her here."

"It's just… it looks like even if she stays here, she won't live for more than a few days."

"What!?" Hearing the last sentence, Blood Pupil and Robbie exclaimed in surprise. They never expected Hake to suddenly say something like that.

Won't live for more than a few days… This… Why?

"Surprised?" Hake smiled slightly, walked to the beautiful lakeside, sat down, picked up the fishing rod next to him and started baiting. While doing so, he said.

"You guys, don't you know what she is?"

"…………" Blood Pupil was silent. Of course, he knew that Pandora was an artificial life form. In fact, Robbie also knew. But after adventuring for so long, he had gotten used to treating Pandora as an ordinary person, no, or more importantly, as his companion, family. But now that Hake suddenly said that Pandora was about to die, how could he not be anxious?

The main thing was that he hadn't seen anything unusual about Pandora so far. He didn't even know where the danger of death came from.

"Energy…" Hake baited the hook, then cast the fishing rod into the water. Looking at the ripples, he said softly, "Artificial life forms… can't move indefinitely. Do you think robots can move without energy?"

"But…" Blood Pupil hesitated. He wanted to say that Pandora could eat and obtain energy, otherwise she would have stopped moving a long time ago.

"But what, eating?" Hake grinned and shook his head again. "Actually, since I knew Pandora was by your side, I checked her information. Hmm, it's not simple. In fact, the Clay family of the Third World has a very tight blockade. But I still managed to get some through some channels. How should I put it… she can indeed obtain a certain amount of energy through eating, but the core energy cannot be replenished. I don't know how the Clay family did it. In fact, even I can't believe that they actually created a life."

"But no matter what, artificial life is artificial life… you can't expect it to really live like a person. If she can really obtain all the basics of survival from food, then I have to say that the Clay family shouldn't exist in the Third World."

"Core energy…" Hearing this keyword, a flash of light crossed Blood Pupil's eyes.

He didn't understand how the Clay family did it either, but presumably this core energy would definitely not be simple, and it couldn't be replenished by conventional means. Pandora had been with him for quite some time. If he really had to calculate, he estimated that her core energy would be almost exhausted. After all, the Clay family was not an ordinary small force. As a large family in the Third World, they would definitely guard against the artificial life form they created. Blood Pupil even suspected that some control devices might be implanted in Pandora's body, which would be activated when a certain distance was reached.

But these were all things to consider later. The top priority now was to find a supplement for the core energy.

With this in mind, Blood Pupil said to Hake, "Sir, do you have a way?"

"Hey…" Hake rubbed his nose, a trace of embarrassment on his face. "You don't think I'm omnipotent, do you? I can't avoid this kind of thing. What's more, the technology on her is too sensitive, how dare I intervene casually?"

"But Pandora is my companion," Blood Pupil said solemnly, emphasizing his tone.

The beautiful lakeside was gently blown by the breeze, lifting Blood Pupil's short hair. At this moment, his eyes were so serious, without any trace of decadence. And as he spoke, Robbie quietly stood behind him.

In this lonely universe, companion… is definitely a term worth giving one's life for. People who have not personally experienced mercenary life can never understand how important this word is in a mercenary's life. Not to mention in Blood Pupil's highly cohesive small group.

"…………" Hake fell silent. His eyes were just quietly looking at the float on the lake. His expression was very calm, and it seemed… there was a hint of nostalgia. After a long time, he whispered, "Companion… what a good word… but… I haven't heard from them for a long time… I wonder if they are still doing well now…"

"Sir…" Blood Pupil spoke again.

"I know." Hake waved his hand, interrupting Blood Pupil. "This matter is very difficult, but… if you insist…"

Hake hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth. "I… I'll try…"

"Thank you, sir!" Blood Pupil's eyes lit up. If Hake took action, it would mean hope for him. Although he still didn't know how much power Hake had, a planetary-level existence, and a top planetary-level existence in the Fourth World. Such an existence was enough to make people tremble even thinking about it.

If Hake was willing to help, maybe Pandora… could survive.

Thinking of this, Blood Pupil's face finally looked a little better. Turning his head back, he saw Pandora's grateful gaze and Robbie's trusting smile.

"I've always said that you're a bastard, but you're also a very good companion," Robbie said in a low voice.

"Thank… Thank you… Master," Pandora thanked timidly.

At this moment, Hake by the lake spoke again. He said seriously, "Don't be happy too soon… this matter is much more difficult than you think. In fact, even I… have no confidence."

"I can only take you to one of my friends, maybe we can find some hope from him. But I'll say it first, if he can't do anything, you better prepare for the worst."

Leave Pandora and watch her stop moving, or… send her back to the Third World, that cold and cruel laboratory.

These were the words Hake didn't finish, but Blood Pupil and the others understood what he meant.

"Whatever." At this critical moment, Blood Pupil was always surprisingly decisive. He replied decisively, "As long as you have a way, sir, we have to try no matter what. If it succeeds, of course it's good, if it fails…"

Blood Pupil paused, looked back at Pandora's flawless face, and looked at Robbie's smiling gaze. He repeated seriously.

"We will make sure there is no failure."

No failure!!

What a resolute… overbearing statement. If an ordinary person said such words, it would only make people laugh, but when Blood Pupil said it at this moment, it made people feel like it was a matter of course. It was as if he said there would be no failure, then there would definitely be no failure.

That was a collection of confidence and will. It was so resolute and absolute that even Hake felt that what Blood Pupil said would become reality.

But he thought for a moment, and his face changed slightly. He said seriously, "Blood Pupil… you, don't mess around."

"I won't mess around," Blood Pupil replied, looking at Hake seriously. "I just do what I should do, before I… reach that moment."

That moment…

Is it the moment when he can't break through the meteor and burns to death?

Looking at Blood Pupil's resolute expression, Hake vaguely understood what he meant.

For some reason, at this moment, Hake suddenly felt like he saw a shadow. A shadow that was equally overbearing, but warmed him for half his life. It was the figure of a woman, but her temperament was extremely similar to Blood Pupil's at this moment. It even made Hake lose his mind slightly.

Almost dazed, he murmured.

"So… that's how it is…"

"If this is your will… then… I will complete it… I definitely will…"
