Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

It was Pan Duoduo, covered in black and ash again, holding the work results handed in by Chiron with her clean hands, and was about to go back to the room, but she didn't want to take a few steps, and saw a black standing at the end of the corridor. The shadow seemed to have been waiting for her there for a long time.

"It's hard for you to wait." The shadow whispered.

There is a large arched window on the wall at the end of the corridor, and the outside is the deep blue sky and fine stars.Backed by the moonlight, the shadow's face is very blurred, only a thin layer of moonlight as light as mist outlines the shadow's beautiful curve.

"Is there anything you want from me?" Pan Duoduo stopped in her tracks.

"Prophecy, I want to know the prophecy you heard from unknown sources."

Pan Duoduo was not surprised, she shook her head, "I think I've already said it, sorry for the inconvenience."

Shadow was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then let out a series of careless but piercing laughter.

"Sister Sisina also said that you are a kind child, but in my opinion, your heart is very cunning... You seem to mention this incident casually... I am afraid that you have been waiting for me to come to you on your own initiative. ?”

The shadow left from the window and took a few steps closer to the girl, the face hidden in the darkness gradually faded away.The light blue skin with a slight flesh-colored color is much darker in the night, but it does not prevent people from identifying her identity.

--Medusa.

"I thought you didn't care." Pan Duoduo stared at the Gorgon that suddenly approached in front of her. After a previous experience, she was able to keep calm when those snake heads approached again.

"Tell me, what price do I have to pay... to take out what I want to hear from your mouth." The purple lips approached the pinna between her hair, and whispered threateningly with a vague breath .

"You're too close. My lover will be very angry if he finds out." Pan Duoduo reached out to put his hand on the opponent's shoulder unceremoniously this time, and pushed the banshee who was sticking to him by an arm's length. "Here It's not a good place to talk, it will disturb the sleeping child. Please wait a moment, I will talk with you outside after I put things away."

The gorgon was obviously taken aback by her actions, but when she felt the strength coming from her shoulders, the corners of her purple lips were slightly pursed.

"Human, you are bold..."

Halfway through the words, they silently stopped in the dark night.

Pan Duoduo walked towards the study, and Medusa followed her closely like a floating shadow.After Pan Duoduo put away the precious materials that Chiron had sorted out, she turned around and nodded to signal the gorgon to come with her.

……

The autumn nights in this area are not very cold.Under the ignorant moonlight, a gray bird flapped its wings and landed among the black tree shadows, bending a cluster of branches and leaves in shock.The rose bushes on the fence were slightly blue under the night, and occasionally faint insects could be heard rustling from the black corners.

"Now, you can talk." Medusa's snake hair sensed the surrounding environment, and they had already arrived at a nearby grove.

"Before that, I have something I want you to try." Pan Duoduo said, and took out a square box from his modified pocket.

"This is……?"

Medusa took the box hesitantly, opened it, and saw a strange thing inside - a short metal rod connected to two thin circular metal frames, and a layer of metal was embedded in the frame. Thin and transparent, with a hint of smoky lavender in it.On both sides of the round frame are two metal frames, which seem to be used to hang on something.

She immediately realized how to use this thing, picked it up and put it on her face through the mask.

Just right.

"Is it what I thought?"

Sensing the excitement in her tone, Pan Duoduo shrugged and said, "I don't know either, so I need you to try it on."

Medusa paused, then smiled and showed her sharp teeth, "Aren't you afraid that I will test you and turn you into a stone statue?"

"No." Pan Duoduo shook her head, "Because you already know that I may be able to replace Hephaestus to create what you want. I think you will not only not attack me, but you will also care about it My safety."

"Sly child." Medusa stretched out her hand to gently stroke her soft cheeks, and said slowly, "I hate it, but also kind of like it."

Pan Duoduo pushed away the paws on her face, "You should try it quickly, I will stand behind you. There are flowers and trees here, and there are many nocturnal birds, you can try to see through this pair of glasses Go see them."

"Glasses? The name of the image."

Medusa murmured, and took off the mask behind Pan Duoduo's back.Then I put on those foggy purple glasses.

Pan Duoduo couldn't see her face, but from the moment she took off the mask, her mind inevitably became tense, and the beating of the organ in her chest tensed several degrees.

Oh, really.Every day I feel that my life is hanging on the wire, and I feel distressed.

"I'm about to open my eyes. Huh, it feels good to take off the mask." The gorgon's voice was full of relief.

"Okay, don't turn around, first look at the animals and plants around you."

"Are you afraid?" Medusa smiled smugly.

"I'm scared, I'm really scared, please try it out." Pan Duoduo said perfunctorily.

Medusa snorted and began to look around as she said.In fact, the girl's understanding is somewhat inaccurate. It's not that everything they look at will turn into stone, but whoever sees their eyes will be petrified.

There is still a big difference between the two.

——So, it’s useless to just look around casually, you have to catch something small and pull it in front of you to have a look.Thinking in this way, with a thought in her mind, a strand of the snake's hair stretched out in the blink of an eye, grabbed a sparrow hiding among the branches and leaves, and then retracted it instantly.

Pan Duoduo: ...

Just, a little suddenly, can the hair still be used like this?It's all-powerful.

The long, sharp nails cut through the sparrow's feathers, and the sparrow, the size of a bean paste bun, trembled in the hands of the banshee.Medusa lowered her head to meet the sparrow's eyes, and after a while, the sparrow let out a scream and passed out.

However, there is no petrification.

Medusa was overjoyed.She turned the sparrow's eyes with her hands, and stared at them for a long while, the warm fur balls in her hands didn't turn into cold hard stones.

"It really works! You are very good! As a human being, you actually created such a thing!" Medusa praised excitedly. She sent the unconscious sparrow back to the branch with snake hair, and caught other sparrows. Nocturnal animals come here.

The grove was full of chaos for a while.

Fortunately, there are not many stones in this forest.

Pan Duoduo was also very happy, she just tried it casually at first, she didn't have any confidence in her heart, she didn't expect the result to be good.

It seems that there is a high probability that she can get what she wants...

"Now... can I turn around?" Medusa hesitated when she said this.

"Turn around."

"You are so refreshing." The banshee flicked her snake's hair enchantingly, "Aren't you afraid that I will throw you away after using you up, and just raise my glasses to petrify you?"

"A word of caution, this thing is very brittle and fragile, and maybe it will wear out gradually. Therefore, there is a high probability that in the future, if there is a problem with it, I will be responsible for repairing it." Pan Duoduo was not at all afraid Such threatening words are shameless.

In fact, they were just two thin and transparent amethysts. At most, they were covered with a film made of the power of faith just to be on the safe side... There was no technical content at all, but why did she tell them?

"...Sometimes I really doubt whether you are Hermes' twin brother or sister. You and his face are really annoying." Medusa slowly turned around while talking.Under the lavender crystal, a pair of reptile-like vertical pupils are staring at the girl in front of them as if locking prey.

Those pupils are like the opal queen of gemstones, exuding a charming pale golden light in the darkness of the night.

"Beautiful eyes, very unique." Pan Duoduo sighed sincerely, "It's amazing."

Medusa looked at her for a long time with those dangerous and beautiful eyes, and finally smiled, "Take back the preface, I like you more than Hermes."

"First of all, thank you for creating something for us. I think this item will be of high value to us... What do you want? Rare gems, sharp weapons... Even the right side of our body can make living things Blood that can quickly bring the dead back to life... as long as you want, we can give it to you."

Pan Duoduo shook her head.

"Is it possible that what you want is the poisonous blood on the left side of our body that has the effect of killing quickly?" Medusa was a little surprised. In her opinion, the value of life is higher than death.

"I want a promise." Pan Duoduo said, "I hope you can do something for me unconditionally."

"what's up?"

"I don't know now, I still need to think about it." The main reason is that they appeared too suddenly, and she hasn't figured it out yet... There are some outlines, but I have to think about it...

"You are very cunning. A promise is worth more than a treasure." Medusa was a little unhappy.

"It won't make it difficult for you. It must be within your ability. I think, let's do it today. You go back and discuss with your sisters to see if they agree."

Pan Duoduo yawned, and a few tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.Sleepy, sleepy, staying up all night is not kind to her beautiful blonde hair.Besides, her lovely boyfriend is still waiting for her to go back to bed.

She walked back with every step, but the hem of her clothes was caught by a hand.

"Wait, you haven't answered my original question. Where's the prophecy I want?" Medusa asked.

"Since our first deal is about to be concluded, I won't charge a reciprocal price." Pan Duoduo smiled, "It's my little sincerity. However, the content of the prophecy may be different." It makes you feel very unhappy, are you sure you want to listen?"

In the dark night, the golden-green pupils were like two clusters of dark fire.

"I like your sincerity, of course I want to listen."

"Oh." Pan Duoduo nodded.

"It's a fable I got from Prometheus." She said in a serious manner, decisively pinning the blame on the annoying Prometheus-who made him famous for "foresight"?

"He mentioned that he foresaw—that a Gore would be decapitated by the son of Zeus. That head would be mounted on a shield and made into an invincible weapon."

The girl's voice was like a ghost in the dark night, it sounded like she was whispering an ancient word spirit.

"...I also just heard from Epimetheus that only you—Medusa, do not possess the 'immortality'."

In the blink of an eye, Pan Duoduo suddenly felt the cold and slippery snake wrapped around her neck, the fine and hard scales scraped against the skin, and many soft and boneless snake bodies entwined around her delicate throat, gradually tightening.

The feeling of suffocation came slowly.

"I'm just a narrator, so it's boring." Pan Duoduo said, casually raised his hand and swiped all the snakes off his neck.

She glanced at the banshee behind her out of the corner of her eye, and walked away.

"Sincerely, I wish you good night."
