Talulah, I'm still a child.

Just as Mandela revealed her strong murderous intent towards Mei Xue, she was so focused that she forgot to be careful of her surroundings. Standing under a four-story building on such a windy day was not a safe thing to do, especially since there was a bunch of potted plants on the top of the building.

These potted plants were originally protected by a fence, but unfortunately, the fence around one of the small potted plants was made of wood and had rotted over time. So... Mandela heard the sound of something flying at high speed in his head.

"I can't possibly be that bad..."

The word "mold" was slammed back by a flowerpot bigger than Mandela's head. Passersby who witnessed this were all stunned and subconsciously worried about their own heads.

"Something's wrong! Someone call an ambulance right now!"

Having witnessed everything in the pastry shop, Mei Xue couldn't help but sigh at how dangerous the world truly was. Then she turned back to continue eating her cake, without any worry, because she had just sensed that the danger had been resolved.

When did Laterano become so dangerous?

"...It's better than a bunch of people causing a bomb in the street, right?"

As everyone talked, since they had no idea what Mandela was planning to do, Mei Xue took a bite of her ice cream and noticed that the blue butterfly had flown away.

It seems Mandela's days are numbered.

Chapter 243 Will Amnesiac Mandra Become a Pet Cat?

A headache was the only feeling Mandela had right now. She didn't even know who she was; she just felt a headache, and she couldn't hear or see her surroundings.

"This young lady is really unlucky to be knocked unconscious by a flowerpot falling from the sky. Hopefully, it won't leave her with any lasting effects."

The doctor shook his head helplessly. The blow had really hit Mandela hard, and she almost lost her life. Fortunately, an ambulance was nearby at the time. However, Mandela only had her ID card and some cash on her. If she hadn't been dressed relatively well, she might have been mistaken for a homeless person from somewhere.

After the doctor's diagnosis, it was a miracle that Mandra was still alive; as for the fee... well, although Laterano has always been a troublemaker, this lady doesn't seem to be wealthy, so let's just consider it charity.

The Lateran people are known for their optimism and sunny disposition. If they encounter someone begging on the roadside, they won't care whether the person is faking it or not, and they won't hesitate to give help. This isn't the first time Mandela has been in such a situation.

As the doctors and nurses left, Mandra felt the noise in her ears subside considerably, but she still couldn't open her eyes. In fact, she felt as if she couldn't control her body at all, as if her soul had left her body.

Moreover, compared to all those trivial matters, there was a more important issue that Mandela had to seriously consider.

Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? How did I end up here?

Mandra's little head was filled with all sorts of philosophical questions about life. The intense shock she had experienced earlier had a significant impact on her brain, resulting in a lot of memory loss. She even had to think carefully about what her own name was.

Outside the ward window, the butterfly that flew out of Mei Xue's tail flew directly through the glass and landed on the bedside table, looking at Mandela.

As a good older sister, Su Xue'er naturally had to protect her younger brother. Mandela's appearance was an unexpected surprise for her, since this guy really wanted to kill Mei Xue, and she didn't have any qualms about doing it.

The problem is that this guy is Felin, not Walper, which makes Su Xueer particularly disgusted. She had originally set her sights on Linglan, but she couldn't bring herself to do it for fear of being disliked by her younger brother later.

The cat in front of me... well, it's not my original species, and its chest is particularly flat.

(He's much worse than I used to be.)

The more she looked at it, the more disgusted she became. Su Xue'er decided that she should get rid of this body. At the very least, she should find someone like Shining. This Mandra... clearly lacked nutrition.

Of course, this guy had always harbored ill intentions towards his younger brother, and Su Xue'er wasn't exactly a saint either; she was bound to kill him.

(But... well, I'll just make him Meixue's pet.)

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Su Xue'er thought it would be good to give this guy to her younger brother as a bodyguard or pet; in any case, his specific role would depend entirely on how Mei Xue used him.

(As a toy... it might not be very durable, but I don't think Meixue will break it.)

Su Xue'er thought about it. Mei Xue was always so well-behaved, cute, and sensible, and the little fox had indeed planned to raise a cat before. So, she decided to give him a cat, but she hoped it wouldn't be too playful.

The next moment, Mandela, who had finally remembered her name, felt a headache coming on again. The intense pain exceeded her brain's limit, and she fainted.

A pale blue butterfly flew into Mandela's subconscious, began to peruse and revise it.

On the other side of the street, Raphsini, who had been waiting impatiently for Mandela's arrival, thought that even though Mandela had a bad temper, he shouldn't be late.

"Did you hear? Just now, a tourist from out of town got hit on the head by a flowerpot on the street over there."

"I didn't just hear about it, I saw it with my own eyes. My God, it was terrible. The blood was flowing like it was free."

"It's definitely better to put away flower pots and such in this windy weather."

Listening to the conversation among the passersby, even though they didn't say what the person looked like or what race he was, Raphsini had a premonition that no one but Mandra could be this unlucky (Theresis sneezed).

In fact, Raphsini had already sensed that something was wrong. She felt that she and Mandela had been particularly unlucky ever since they left the deep pool, and she didn't know why, but she was sure it was related to Mei Xue.

"There's definitely something fishy about Theresis assigning us this task..."

Lafsini clenched her fists, but had no choice but to let them go. Even if there were ghosts, there was nothing she could do. Deep Pool did need partners. Theresis and the Sarkaz under her command were already a force to be reckoned with in Victoria.

Moreover, more important than anything else is to check on Mandela's health right now, but we already don't have much money, and now... damn it.

So, should we go buy groceries first?

"No, let's just go to my place. There's a supermarket nearby where I can buy groceries."

"Hey, I'm going to party with Mei Xue until late tonight!"

"Um...but Sister A'Neng, Kal'tsit said that children who stay up late will not grow tall, and I don't want that."

Just as Raphsini was about to go find Mandra, Mei Xue and the others were also heading to Exusiai's house. Watching the group of five walk past her, Raphsini suddenly wanted to make a move right there, but after weighing the strength of both sides, she decided to give up.

"Ok?"

Sensing a familiar presence, Mei Xue turned around and happened to see Raphsini, wearing sunglasses, looking her over, but the next moment the other woman turned and left.

"What's wrong, Mei Xue? Did you run into someone you know?"

"No, it's an older sister I don't know, but..."

"But what?"

"It's nothing, I was just overthinking it."

Mei Xue took a bite of ice cream. He wouldn't tell anyone about Talulah, but the older sister from earlier clearly looked like his own sister to the little fox. It wasn't Waifan, but Drak.

Of course, the little fox might have misread it. Anyway, it doesn't matter which way it is, it has nothing to do with him. Compared to those things, he is more concerned about what to play and what to eat today, hoping that it won't just be apple pie.

While Mei Xue was carefree, none of the Rhodes Island team members were at ease, especially Lin Qingyan, who wished he could carry the vehicle straight to Laterano and was always at the forefront.

"Kal'tsit, what are you thinking about?"

Ling put the gourd of wine aside and glanced at Kal'tsit with great interest. Louisa, who was speeding in front, was also curious about this, as Kal'tsit hadn't said a word since they set off.

"nothing."

"Stop pretending. When you're nervous, you always keep a cold face and don't say a word. Otherwise, you'll say something."

Leaning back in my seat and looking out at the vast wilderness, I couldn't help but feel a little bored, but even more so, a sense of worry.

"We're all worried about the same thing, that's why we're here, isn't it..."

"Then why do you ask so many questions?"

Kal'tsit closed her eyes. She shared the same worries as Ling. Logically speaking, Mei Xue was unlikely to encounter any accidents at this point, but there was one aspect that could not be ignored.

"Because I'm very curious, Kal'tsit. Having lived for tens of thousands of years, what you know is no less than what Sui knows, no... it might even be more than that. You've known about Mei Xue from the very beginning, but you couldn't get close to him because of his sister."

Louisa, sitting in the front row, suddenly felt that perhaps it would be more appropriate for her to pretend to be deaf at this moment. What had she heard? Although she had long guessed that her teacher was definitely older than she knew, tens of thousands of years... Her teacher was just Philin, right? How could she have lived for so long?

And they even mentioned Mei Xue. Is the little fox that old too?

What do you want to ask?

"As expected, it's easier to talk to smart people. Tell me... what exactly is Mei Xue?"

A fatal problem, so much so that Louisa only heard background noise in the second half of the sentence, but Kal'tsit heard it clearly. Her silence was the best answer to this question, whether she didn't know or couldn't say.

But perhaps because Ling met the requirements, Kal'tsit pondered for a moment and then raised her finger, pointing above herself, and looked at Ling with her usual indifference, but her eyes revealed a rare hint of anxiety and unease.

"Time is running out."

Yes, time is running out. This is the conclusion the Sirens reached after communicating with Ulpian. They are glad that they have evolved fast enough that protecting themselves is not a problem.

"Suddenly I feel that Terra is quite dangerous. There are so many monsters and demons watching over this continent, and there are so many sea creatures in the sea."

"Even though they've recognized the crisis they're in, the various factions on Terra are still busy scheming against each other. Don't these guys have any sense of crisis?"

"After all, that's what humans are."

The Sirens couldn't help but complain. The more they studied Terra's movements over this period, the more they felt that "destruction is the best outcome for Terra."

"Sherag, what era is this? The train only just got running here. What use will it be in the future? Are they hoping that their Yeragand will descend from the sky to protect them from the Sea King or the demons?"

"And this Iberia, really... how can they possibly save Terra with these insects?"

"That Agor is something else. He used to be so arrogant, but look at him now. He's even produced a bunch of traitors."

Listening to the group of girls chattering away, even making a rant about their hometown, Ulbian felt incredibly conflicted. He couldn't argue back, though he felt sorry for their misfortune and angry at their lack of ambition. Agor's current predicament was indeed largely due to the arrogance of the Agorians themselves.

However, he was glad that at least these Sirens were on the opposite side of the Sea Siren. Even though they had accepted the fact that they evolved from the Sea Siren, these guys were all incredibly powerful. Even the weakest one could go toe-to-toe with him, and that was without all the restrictions being lifted.

And the Sirens' level of science... it's just so magical. Yes, Ulpian doesn't know how else to describe their excellence except with the word "magical."

He simply couldn't understand how these guys, who didn't even know what basic circuitry was a few months ago, could build a warship that even Agor couldn't build from a small, dilapidated Iberian ship.

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about all that nonsense. Let the land people handle their own affairs. How are the sisters who went to Agor doing?"

"We just received a message that they discovered something strange about the cities in Agor; one of them is located less than 100 kilometers from the Iberian coast."

“Blow it up!” Ulbian answered without hesitation. “It’s a trap, a trap to lure Skadi in the future. I saw this plan in Sirose’s letters.”

"It would be such a waste to blow it up."

Amaya thought about it. Fifty Sirens could easily wipe out a city in Agor, but there might be some good stuff inside. For the Sirens, who were currently lacking everything, they should save as much as possible.

"We're just about to move, so let's move there instead."

"Then what about this island/reef?"

"Of course we took it all with us. By the way, where's Levi? We still haven't seen him. Did he kill himself doing experiments?"

Although they had long known that Levy was no good, the Sirens still needed his brains.

In the laboratory on the other side, Levi looked at the experimental data in his hand and fell into deep thought. Just as he thought, Terra was indeed not his original world. Although the two worlds showed a high degree of similarity, there were also considerable differences in the fundamental laws of the worlds and the composition of matter.

But what Levi couldn't understand the most was that he discovered that the Originium in this world was not simply inorganic matter, but rather exhibited properties that only living organisms possessed, like... like a collection of nanobots.

However, this substance does possess considerable energy, and its use as an energy source alone has promising prospects. But using it as an explosive only allows for the activation of a portion of its energy, which is quite strange.

Most importantly, Levi discovered that Originium and his own cellular tissues are mutually exclusive, or more accurately, not compatible. This means that he will not be infected with Oripathy like the land dwellers that Amaya and others have suggested.

"It seems this world is more interesting than I imagined..."

Levi adjusted his glasses, becoming curious about the level of development of the ancient civilizations in this world. He personally speculated that it was far more advanced than he had previously thought, because they could even create a completely new species that could adapt to various environments.
