Chapter 425: Pandora

Ling Chen snorted and said:

"Speaking of which, you can't stop for a while. It won't be easy to stay in this state for a long time."

"I'm used to it, I'm not tired at all."

"You're not tired, I'm tired. I have to concentrate all the time, for fear that I will consume too much and affect my next actions."

The witch looked up at the sky, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes, and said:

"I have already said that this is due to a special constitution. It is not as convenient as a curse. It can be turned off at a glance."

This was the first time that Ling Chen saw real emotions in her eyes.

For a moment, she was not wrapped in a protective shell called "Witch", but had a subconscious true feeling revealed.

However, this moment was very short, and it even made Ling Chen wonder if he had seen it wrong.

After taking a deep breath, the witch regained her composure.

She closed her eyes and said calmly:

"Apart from being out of control, there is nothing wrong with it. With this kind of physique, sometimes you can defeat the enemy smoothly without even using spells."

Ling Chen sighed and said:

"Because of your physique, everyone keeps away from you. After all, no one wants to be suddenly confused while chatting. I think... you are very tired."

The witch was slightly shocked and turned her head away, not looking into Ling Chen's eyes.

"...Stop being so self-righteous."

After a while, she turned back again with a smile on her face:

"But maybe you're right."

What appeared at this time was not the shy smile she would have had, nor the words of thanks...

Ling Chen was able to get a glimpse of the real her, not the infamous "witch" that others said.

"You are such a strange person. This is the first time I have seen someone react like this."

She looked at Ling Chen with a smile and said:

"Isn't the general focus of contractors always to inquire and find out how I did it? Isn't it enough to arouse your curiosity for an ability that doesn't rely on spells?"

Ling Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"I don't want to ask you about your secrets, are you still not happy?"

The witch said with a proud smile:

"Are you in charge?"

Ling Chen shrugged:

"I have always been very self-aware. Regardless of whether you will tell me or not, but even if you tell the truth, what will happen?"

"Everyone has their own areas of expertise. Knowing the principles of your constitution does not mean that you can do the same thing. Otherwise, there will not be only one witch in the circle of contractors."

She was a little surprised, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly and she said:

"Call me Pandora, the so-called 'witch' is just a title given by others."

Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, chewed on the meaning behind the name, and murmured:

"Pandora, the legendary person who opened the Box of Disaster. In my opinion, she also seems to be a witch..."

Witch, Pandora licked her lips and said calmly:

"At the very least, this is the name I chose myself. It is not the name of a witch imposed by others."

Ling Chen said:

"Okay, I will call you Pandora from now on. And you can just call me 'Zero'."

Pandora bit her lower lip and interrupted:

"No, I heard your conversation with that aboriginal clearly. Your name is Ling Chen, right? Moreover, you seem to know a little bit about the background of this copy."

"I originally planned to find a way to dig out all this information. However, since you are the fourth person who can make me speak the name Pandora, I will let you go this time."

Ling Chen's expression was very helpless, and it took him a long time to say:

"Thank you very much for your generosity."

Pandora's purple lips were slightly raised, showing a proud smile, and said:

"You're welcome. I have no other advantages, other than being approachable."

Ling Chen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and spit out three words:

"You are cruel."

Pandora nodded matter-of-factly and let out a sweet laugh. This silver bell-like laughter sounded like the whisper of a devil to Ling Chen's ears.

After a while he said:

"Allow me to ask, who are the other three people who know your name?"

Pandora combed her hair, glanced at him sideways and said:

"No need to ask, they are all dead."

All dead?

Ling Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered:

"Hey, hey, don't talk half-hidden. Did you kill them, or did they die naturally? Your name seems like a curse."

"Everyone who knows is dead. In this case, I really doubt your purpose of telling the name."

"I didn't do anything to accidentally make you unhappy, right? Are you trying to kill me? Please show your respect."

Pandora showed a half-smiling expression, and suddenly said playfully:

"...who knows?"

"Maybe I told you my name because I was in a bad mood. Just take your time and guess it yourself."

Ling Chen had the urge to kill someone, so he glared at her and said:

"Don't get confused by being ambiguous! Let's be clear..."

Pandora stood up and interrupted:

"It's getting late, it's almost time to leave."

Ling Chen was stunned, shook his head, and stood up as well.

"If you don't want to say it, just let's go."

According to the original plan, Ling Chen and Pandora took the cloth bags and walked towards the vicinity of the orc tribe.

Of course, the truck was damaged by this time and they could only rely on their legs to get on their way.

Fortunately, the distance here is not too far, so there is no need to travel too hard, which is conducive to keeping your physical strength strong.

By the way, before setting off, Pandora said that she was just a weak woman and did not have the strength to carry heavy objects.

Therefore, the two big bloody cloth bags wrapped with hind leg meat were all carried by Ling Chen alone. He was good at strength, so there was nothing wrong with him doing some heavy work.

In the final analysis, although Pandora is scary, she is still a woman, and they always have some privileges when facing certain things.

It's like a man and a woman going shopping. No matter how many things they buy, it will definitely not be picked up by the girl herself. It is almost customary for boys to have shopping bags hanging all over them.

Although Ling Chen and Pandora were not familiar with each other to that extent, it was hard to be shy and let a contractor who was obviously not a close combatant do the menial work.

Based on previous field surveys, Ling Chen knew that there was a hillside with a relatively open view about one kilometer away. From there, the orc tribe could be clearly observed.

The two of them carefully climbed up the mountain, found a suitable open space, and looked down for a while.

They found that all the orcs were staying in the tribe. Obviously it was not hunting time and there was no need to go out. In this way, it was very suitable for action.

Because the mission Ling Chen received had clear requirements. It specified that all orcs must be annihilated. Even if one fish slipped through the net, it would not be considered complete.

Therefore, he is naturally quite happy about the current situation.

Without further ado, he quickly untied the two cloth bags and threw the two thick thighs into the open space next to them.

...snap!

Two bloody thighs landed on the ground, splashing a little blood and staining the sand and grass red.

Suddenly, the smell of blood mixed with a strange aroma hit your nose and gradually spread to the distance.

Ling Chen clapped his hands and said:

"It's done! Now all that's left is to wait. This place is only about five or six hundred meters away from the orc tribe. The orcs have a very sensitive sense of smell. It won't take long for them to pick up the scent."

Pandora tilted her head and said:

"Is it that easy? I feel like I haven't done anything yet?"

Ling Chen said angrily:

"Because you really didn't do anything."

"Besides, this is not easy at all, okay? I first asked Kenneth and then made a series of preparations."

"All the preliminary work has been completed, that's why you feel so relaxed. But don't misunderstand and think that this task is very simple."

Pandora shrugged and smiled at Ling Chen:

"That's right. So, according to the original plan, after the orcs are divided, we will set off separately?"
Chapter completed!
