Chapter 317 - 317 317 Counseling and Pandoras Little Tragedy

?Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Counseling and Pandora’s Little Tragedy Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Counseling and Pandora’s Little Tragedy Under the clear skies and blazing sun, despite the weather forecast that had started telling the citizens three days prior that our city was about to welcome a week of heavy precipitation, meteorologists still faced a tragic 5 percent error rate when the heavens weren’t cooperating. Last night, I even noticed on TV that the long-haired MM presenting the weather forecast had been replaced by an unfamiliar cream-faced youth; maliciously, I wondered if the original broadcaster had resigned due to excessive psychological pressure.

Under the detection of a small squad of Lost Shadows, we spent half a day scanning the underground research base, located 200 meters beneath the surface, from the inside out. The 3D projection images submitted by Sivis were so clear they even depicted a half-rolled toilet paper. Then, with precise pinpoint space transmission, and unbeknownst to the teachers and students above, we had cleared out all the Xyrin Equipment from the underground base. After completing this task, more Lost Shadows split up and headed deeper into the earth, planning to expand the search area under the entire K city to a range of one kilometer within the next week. Just as I had initially suspected, if the people who built the base chose such an unsafe location, it proved that their research had to be conducted nearby. The discovery of a large amount of Xyrin Equipment made this conjecture even more accurate: it’s very likely there are more Xyrin Items beneath K city, and I couldn’t help but think, maybe we could find a Xyrin Relic or something…

This possibility wasn’t out of the question. Based on the analysis of the retrieved Xyrin Equipment, those antiques were at least several hundred thousand years old. Considering the changes in the Earth’s crust over hundreds of thousands of years, a relic buried underground could be pushed into any corner. But the idea that the site of a Xyrin Station, established on Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago, might be right beside us… such a dramatic turn of events left me speechless.

As for those so-called “paranormal events”, our current guess was that they were related to the Xyrin Equipment. Although Xyrin-made items are renowned for their quality, everything has an expiration date, even if they’re exceptionally well-made. The energy protection devices mounted on those ancient relics buried underground for hundreds of thousands of years were more or less damaged. Given the abnormal energy storage capacity of the Ghost Energy Crystals, there remains some energy in these devices, which was probably the culprit behind the paranormal incidents at the old high school and indirectly led to Xiao Ling’s danger. This explanation, though still full of loopholes, was the most reasonable one I could think of. At least, Anwina, the genuine Undead creature, had confirmed that within a thousand miles of K city and its surroundings, there were no energy bodies like ghosts. Most of the vividly portrayed background stories of these events are probably just figments of bored high school students’ imaginations. I can’t believe I almost believed them and even considered the absurd idea of capturing an Earth-native ghost to see who was more powerful compared to our housemaid…

Speaking of Xiao Ling and Liu Fan, as I’ve mentioned before, they’re currently living with us temporarily—this was Lilina’s request. The fake Lolita has been worried that Medusa, who had fled previously, might reappear and fatally hurt her precious sister. Although the likelihood of such an event happening is quite small, with Medusa’s sanity intact, having two more… ahem, refugee students isn’t a big deal. As someone who used to idolize Uncle Lei Feng until I was seven, I readily agreed to Lilina’s request.

While feeling a little guilty towards a certain tragic character, in truth, it was only Xiao Ling that Lilina had asked me to protect at that time; Liu Fan was regarded by Lilina merely as an accessory to her sister…

Lilina, the contrarian, has really made me anxious these past few days.

Her sibling, whom she had not easily come in contact with, was right next door. Multiple times she had lingered in front of the bedroom door but simply couldn’t make up her mind, twisting by herself until she was almost dead. As soon as she lost sight of Xiao Ling, her little face would instantly show more sorrow than a Korean drama, so much so that now, aside from the few heartless brats at home, even Sandora would start worrying about her after a satisfying meal.
