Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

"Well, let me believe that you hurt me just now to show Zeus a play. Then... You obviously have the ability to weave illusions, but now you take me out and pretend to want to talk to me alone, What's the point?"

"...I was created by Zeus. Forgive me, I really can't understand. You would say in front of me that you want to deceive Zeus...Aren't you afraid that I will tell him all this?"

Pan Duoduo looked at the god in front of him who was covered in embarrassment all over his body, finally straightened his face, and asked what was in his heart.

"First answer your second question. In my opinion, you are more afraid than me that Zeus will know everything that happened here... What will happen to a disobedient pawn, you don't need me to say more. "

"As for why I'm talking to you alone...it's because those two are idiots."

Prometheus glanced at his son and younger brother who were still weeping, his dark green pupils revealed a look of disgust, "Not only can they not understand the situation, but they are very likely to add to the chaos."

Pan Duoduo didn't like to hear these words anymore.

However, when she turned her head following his gaze and saw the two crying out of shape, she couldn't find any words to refute...

——Because it looks really stupid... Even if it is stupid, it cannot be separated from the fact that it is stupid...

"Although it's a great honor for a god like you to think highly of me, you seem to trust me more than your own son and younger brother? This makes me feel unreasonable." Pan Duoduo turned her head back, He retorted, "As for you saying that they... are stupid, such reasons are not convincing at all. A person's wisdom cannot be used as a criterion for judging whether he is trustworthy."

Prometheus fixedly looked at the girl in front of him, moved his chapped lips, his voice was hoarse and calm.

"Little girl, I brought you out to talk to me alone, not because I trust you, but because I know that you are the one who wants to talk to me this time."

"That idiot Epimetheus is absolutely guilty after accepting Zeus's gift against my request. According to my original thought, he will probably hide from me for the rest of his life... As for Deucalion, he is a very sensible man. child……"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Pan Duoduo always feels that his words "sensible" are a bit forced...

After all, they are still shouting "Bad Dad" over there...

Prometheus paused for a moment, then continued: "Deucalion knew that the journey was far away, so he would never take the initiative to ask Epimetheus to take him on the journey... Excluding the two of them, the rest You are the only variable..."

"It was you who induced them to come to visit me, and that's what made me what it is today."

"So, little girl, with an identity that I absolutely hate, you have come all the way to meet me. What answer do you want to get from me?"

When Pan Duoduo heard this, she didn't show any surprise.Instead, she smiled slightly at the god in front of her, with a bit of ridicule in her tone, "Why can't I insist on dragging Epimetheus around in front of you, so that you can see for yourself the gift from Zeus, the deliberate anger?" And you?"

"If you are as you said, then Epimetheus would never dare to appear in front of me today." Prometheus snorted and laughed, "Although he is a fool, he is not so stupid that he can't be saved. Medicine——unless you really have something to admire, he will never bring you here rashly, and even wants to get my approval."

"You really deserve to be a god who is regarded as a 'sage'," Pan Duoduo returned the honorific, and gave a slight salute to the god in front of him.

The stabbing just now really made her sense of Prometheus drop to the bottom.But now, she had to show him basic respect again.

I still hate him though.

"Then, let's not go around the bush? Tell me, why are you trying so hard to see me?" Prometheus's deep emerald eyes were full of scrutiny.

"Please let me confirm again, Zeus will never hear everything said here?" Pan Duoduo asked again and again.

The girl's caution finally darkened the eyes of the god a little, and he nodded, "We have not deceived each other once or twice."

The implication is that it has been done very skillfully.

Pan Duoduo remembered that he had taught humans to cheat Zeus on sacrifices, and remembered the isolation audition technique that Epimetheus had learned from him, and suddenly felt that he was an old hand, with a high probability of being credible, so she finally I opened my mouth.

"To be honest, this meeting is very different from what I expected. In the original plan, Diu Diu and Amy would say something nice for me..." Pan Duoduo said, looking not far away Two hallucinating eyes.

Prometheus snorted inexplicably.

Pan Duoduo didn't care much, and continued to talk, "As a god with 'foresight', you must already know a lot about me—my name is Pandora, and I was created by Olympus Female human being. In Olympian parlance, I was created as a messenger, responsible for delivering blessings from the gods to humans."

"The twelve main gods each gave me a gift, so that I can better spread the blessings of the gods in the human world... But when I was sent to Epimetheus, I learned of your prophecy—— The realization that I am a 'gift' that will bring disaster... I am terrified."

"Amy and Diudiu saw me pitiful, and took me in with compassion. However, their kind and friendly treatment also made me feel worried day after day... I don't want to hurt them at all, but your prophecy It has to be noticed..."

"I have heard for a long time that you have extraordinary wisdom and can guide the lost to find the right direction... So I discussed with them, hoping to get a good answer from you as a 'wise man'—— And that's why we came before you today."

Having said that, Pan Duoduo stopped talking.She looked at the god bound by chains frankly and sincerely, her blue pupils reflected his face, as if she was really expecting him to give an answer.

Prometheus' locks of hair hung from his forehead, covering most of his cheeks.The girl's eloquent narration didn't make him show any superfluous expression, and because of this, Pan Duoduo couldn't understand what kind of opinion he had in his heart after listening to this passage.

"Your words are very pale." The god suddenly pointed out, "If you can't be honest, then I can't give any answers either."

"...I only told Epimetheus and Deucalion - 'Do not accept gifts from Zeus on Olympus', never emphasized that 'gifts' will bring disaster...then you Where does this intense self-knowledge come from, that one's own existence will eventually invite disaster?"

"In my opinion, you should know exactly what Zeus wants to use you for."

When Pan Duoduo heard this, she only smiled slightly.Of course, she never thought that she could fool the god in front of her with the previous words, and it would be a matter of time before she was exposed.They are not familiar with each other, so she can only test it little by little-as for the frankness he said, she may give a little as sincerity at her discretion, but she must have reservations.

Even if the god in front of her was always considered to be just, considered to be on the side of humans, she still couldn't fully trust him.

But since the other party pointed this out at this time, it doesn't hurt to say it.

"You guessed right, maybe something happened when Olympus gave me a gift. I accidentally learned that Zeus endowed me with endless curiosity about everything in the world. However, he gave me After being curious, I was given a box that must not be opened... This can't help but make me feel contradictory and strange..."

Seeing that Prometheus's expression was getting serious, Pan Duoduo persisted and said: "Every time I see that box, I can't help but want to open it. Curiosity keeps driving me... But remembering Zeus' entrustment , Thinking of the curiosity he gave me, the contradictions in it made me very hesitant, not daring to open it..."

"I have a premonition in my heart, it seems that opening it will cause something big..." Pan Duoduo murmured in a low voice, a struggling and puzzled expression appeared on her face just right, she seemed to hesitate, He continued, "In addition, Amy once told me about your past quarrel with Zeus, your negative 'prophecy' to me... I am at a loss for various reasons, so I want to sincerely seek your guidance."

"That's what I want to confess to you."

Presumably, with the wisdom of Prometheus, after hearing her words, he must be able to know what Zeus's plan is.

Sure enough, the god pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you bring that box?"

"Do you know what's in the box?" Pan Duoduo looked at Prometheus expectantly, but didn't answer his question.

Prometheus squinted his eyes and looked at her for a moment, and finally slowed down his voice: "If you guessed correctly, what is contained in the box should be the source of disasters that can destroy human beings... Zeus gave you curiosity and gave you one at the same time. The box that must never be opened is to allow human beings to destroy themselves one day...It can not only achieve his wish, but also keep his hands clean to the greatest extent..."

"Although it's simple and rude, I still have to admit that it's a good idea."

It fully grasped the weakness of Epimetheus who is easy to be soft-hearted... If it really develops in the way Zeus designed, when the real overthrow occurs, he who is thousands of miles away can only watch in a hurry, helpless .

But at this moment, the key piece in Zeus's plan came to him all the way and told him.Not only did he expose the plan, but he also turned to him for help. No matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

Zeus' plan was exposed so easily and unclearly?It feels ridiculous and extremely unreal to think about it...

The current situation made Prometheus feel for the first time that he was in a foggy situation.Before meeting the girl, the frequent small deviations in the predictions he was proud of were enough to confuse him; now that he saw the girl, instead of making things clearer, it became even more confusing...

He couldn't tell whether the girl in front of him was telling the truth, or acting for him according to Zeus's guidance, setting a deeper trap...

In the final analysis, the problem still lies with this girl made by God who is full of strangeness.

After listening to Prometheus' analysis, Pan Duoduo immediately showed a terrified look, and she said, "So, I am really a thing as you said in your prophecy. A gift that shouldn't be accepted? I don't want to open the box according to Zeus' arrangement to harm others, but I'm afraid that if I disobey Zeus, I will be punished by him... What should I do?"

"You don't need to act in front of me." Prometheus commented with some disgust, "Maybe you can fool Epimetheus and Deucalion, two idiots, but such exaggerated acting skills are in front of my eyes. It just makes you look ridiculous."

What is this peerless straight man speaking?

Pan Duoduo was not annoyed at being exposed, but she felt that the other party's ignorant words made her want to roll her eyes.

"You already know Zeus' intentions and what's in the box... even what's going to happen in the future... It makes me feel weird... Honestly, are you really a human made by Olympus? "
