The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"…Forget it, I'll order you some takeout."

Otherwise, staying here will not only lower the intelligence level of the entire room, but also make the atmosphere develop in the direction of comedy.

"Yeah."

Long I nodded happily, whistled, and went upstairs to wait for the takeaway.

After sending away a certain idiot who looked like a human but was actually as intelligent as a gorilla, the atmosphere on the scene finally felt like one where people could talk about serious matters.

Lin Qiao looked at Zhantu and said, "Have you brought the things?"

"Well, here it is."

He nodded seriously and carried out a black, square-shaped metal box with some kind of patterns on the surface from the other end of the room.

——Pandora's Box.

After receiving the message from Sougo, who had teleported back to the coffee shop via a smoke gun, Battle Rabbit specially borrowed it from Himuro Taizan.

As mentioned before, Lin Qiao had already told them about the situation on the Three Crows side.

Although they were enemies, and their leader Saruto Ikkai would be his opponent in future representative matches, Sento did not want to just watch the Three Crows meet their tragic end of being physically destroyed.

So Pandora's Box became the only solution.

"But are you sure this is okay?"

Battle Rabbit frowned and looked at the Pandora's Box in his hand.

It has been a full ten years since the discovery of this thing.

We can’t say that there has been no progress, but it has more or less stagnated.

At present, except for Ishido Soichi, no one else can use it, let alone do the most basic activation - and the consequence of the former's use was that it directly led to the sky tragedy.

He temporarily had doubts about whether Lin Qiao could use it, especially to save people.

Although he is not the only one who is skeptical about this.

"I'm not sure at all about that."

Lin Qiao shook her head and answered truthfully.

There is a way to turn someone who has become a Lost Slammer back into a normal human being - the Genius Bottle is the answer.

But the bad thing is that the current version really can't produce a genius bottle.

Not only has the most critical material, the Pandora Panel, been taken away by Evolto, but even the danger level of the Battle Rabbit has just exceeded 4.0...

Even if he was given a genius bottle, he couldn't use it now!

So for now, we can only rely on Pandora's Box...

And if all else fails, then we'll have to keep the three of them tied up until Battle Rabbit creates the Genius Bottle and then let them go.

"But let's try it first."

Thinking of this, Lin Qiao placed his hand on Pandora's Box.

"!"

Before Lin Qiao could figure out what to do, the moment he touched Pandora's Box, some information flooded into his mind.

Specifically, it's probably...an instruction manual?

"So this thing comes with an instruction manual?"

Even the content can be said to be extremely detailed, including but not limited to operations such as how to create a new world using white panels.

Even someone with an IQ like Long would probably be able to figure it out... Well, this is indeed a bit difficult.

So how did Evolto manage to carry around Pandora's Box for so many years without even knowing about the white panel, and even the Lost Full Bottle was only accidentally created after coming to Earth?

It can't be that this is a function that only he or killbus can use?

[Yes, this function can only be used by the owner with the highest authority...]

A message like this suddenly came to my mind.

Lin Qiao nodded. With the help of the instruction manual sent from Pandora's Box and similar intelligent assistance, he roughly understood it.

In short, to be honest, he has the same power as Killbus and is completely the same body in a parallel world. He has the highest level of management authority over Pandora's Box.

As one of the royal family of Blood Star, Evolto only has the right to use it... As for how to use it, you have to figure it out on your own, don't even think about the instruction manual.

The remaining Blood Star trio was even more miserable as they didn't even have the right to use it.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Seeing Lin Qiao showing no movement for a long time after touching Pandora's Box, Sougo shook his shoulder worriedly.

Lin Qiao, who was immersed in exploring the functions of new toys, was brought back to reality.

He scratched his head and responded, "Ah, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that this thing has too many functions and I was a little overwhelmed by it."

"So you can really use it?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Zhan Tu's face, and then he looked up and down at Lin Qiao again with a suspicious look.

'Is this guy a Martian?'

Well, based on the information currently available, it is reasonable to deduce this result.

But if Bernaju, the real Martian, came online and knew what he was thinking, it would probably give Zhan Tu some Martian surprise.

"Anyway, there is a way to solve the problems of the three of them..."

Although it is impossible to cure the problem directly like the Genius Bottle for various reasons, the most it can do is to offset the effects of excess nebula gas and awaken their sanity, so that the cancellation of the transformation will not directly lead to the destruction of the body.

——To be honest, being able to achieve this is enough.

"I'll make it clear in advance that although I really want to give you an anesthetic, I don't think any anesthetic will work in your current state."

Apart from anything else, the three crows in the Smasher state have already gone beyond the category of carbon-based creatures.

Not to mention whether conventional anesthetics are effective, just wanting to pierce their danger level 5.0 armor is a difficult task.

And even if they could be knocked unconscious through Pandora's power, there was no guarantee that the defeat conditions would not be triggered, causing the Three Crows to be defeated.

So just in case, it's better to stay awake.

"It doesn't matter, it just hurts a little."

Besides, it only hurts a little - it's not Lin Qiao who is in pain anyway.

The hand patted lightly on Pandora's Box.

A beam of light shot out from Pandora's Box, then split into three beams, shining on the three crows respectively.

"Hmmm! Aaaaaaahhhhh!"

The next second, the three of them screamed like pigs being slaughtered, and even I, who was ordering takeout upstairs, was startled.

Enemy...enemy attack?

Looking at the miserable state of the three crows, everyone except Lin Qiao felt their scalps tingling.

To be honest, this looks like it's more than just a little painful.

Chapter 444: It’s time to go, Rabbit!

Finally, after some efforts, the three crows were able to safely transform back to human form from the power of Pandora's Box used by Lin Qiao, and eliminated the effects of the excessive nebula gas...

However, these are only temporary solutions and not a complete cure.

The side effects caused by excessive transformation still exist in their bodies, but they will not affect their sanity.

The most intuitive example is that once they choose to transform again, even if it is just the most ordinary slammer type, their bodies will still be destroyed after being defeated.

Although the three crows saved their lives, they fell into a coma after the treatment.

Although she won't become a vegetable and sleep forever like in some TV dramas, judging from the name Lin Qiao, there is probably no hope for her in the short term.

...But in a way, this is good news.

After all, no matter what they do at this critical juncture, it will probably be quite troublesome... It is definitely impossible to let them go back to Beidu, but it doesn't feel right to let them stay.

Besides, there will be three more idiots who are on par with Long Wo. Just thinking about it makes me feel overwhelmed.

Therefore, it was actually the best outcome for them to faint... By the way, Lin Qiao took the opportunity to read and clear their memories and obtained a lot of useful information.

After that, Lin Qiao studied the use of Pandora's Box a little more and returned it.

It’s not that he’s honest or anything, it’s mainly because of a certain stinky little brother’s messing around that the panel and the full bottle are gone.

As a result, Pandora's box is not fully opened at the moment, most functions are unusable, and the role it can play is relatively limited.

Even if he has the highest authority... after all, this is a hardware deficiency.

But the solution is simple.

In addition to replacing the panels and full bottles, randomly sacrificing a Blood Star to recharge Pandora's Box is also a solution.

——However, if I really use the latter method, I will expose myself. Besides, the situation is not yet to the point where I need to do so, so I will not adopt it for the time being.

It was just that he couldn't use his authority to take out the things inside in advance, which made Lin Qiao, who wanted to secretly absorb a wave of energy sealed in it by Evolto, feel quite regretful.

Fortunately, there are three refined lost bottles sent by the other party as consolation prizes.

Evolto, who was unaware that his home was almost stolen, was still busy with his own plans.

As the representative battle approached, he contacted Zhantu by phone.

The place where the two met was a square in Dongdu.

Although it is usually crowded with children playing and their parents accompanying them, now that the war has broken out, it is as deserted as anywhere else.

"what do you want to do?"

He asked directly and to the point.

Although Lin Qiao said it was no problem, Zhan Tu looked serious after seeing the person who was once called the "store manager".

"Don't be so cold. I just came here to check on you after hearing that you were chosen as the representative of Dongdu."

Compared to the stern expression of Sento, Evolto, who was sitting there with his legs crossed and taking a bite of a chocolate bar from time to time, looked much more relaxed.

He casually threw the empty chocolate bar bag on the ground, stood up from the bench and looked at Zhantu.

"How is it? Do you like the new props I gave you?"

“You…!”

It would be fine if it wasn't mentioned, but as soon as it was mentioned, Zhan Tu felt so angry that his teeth itched.

You actually threatened your own mother, you bastard!

"Don't be so angry, I didn't do anything."

Evolto spread his hands innocently, and then continued: "By the way, how do you get along with that boy named Zi-O? You should know a lot of interesting things from him, right?"

“…It has nothing to do with you.”

"You are so heartless. You can't even satisfy my little curiosity... But never mind."

Evolto chuckled. From Zhantu's reaction, he probably guessed that the other party probably didn't know his true identity and plan.

——That is to say, the one called Zi-O should have his own little thoughts.

Well, I have to say, this did save him a lot of trouble.

"But let's get back to the point. How are you preparing for the representative match? Are you confident that you can beat Grease?"

As he said this, Evolto deliberately moved closer, looking around as if he was worried that someone would notice him, and whispered:

"I heard that he was furious because of the Three Crows. What do you think? Are you confident that you can win?"

"They must have been deceived by you to become like that!"

"Ah, don't think so badly of me. After all, they did it voluntarily, and most importantly, it wasn't me who killed them."

"..."

So he doesn't know that Three Crows is alive yet?

The moment he realized this, Zhantu chose to give up arguing with the other party - there was no need to expose his own information just for the sake of speaking quickly.
