Chapter 858: Chapter 862: Myth (Four More)

Lin Shihai took a step back, pulling away from Yang Gang, and only then did the trembling of his soul stop.

"Hmph! I don’t know where you got your information, but your statement is wrong! Indeed, we humans of Pandora Star are suppressed by other intelligent beings, but we are not slaves. We have our own nation, our own land, and a mighty army capable of repelling foreign invasions!" Lin Shihai said.

"So, you think you have the right to mock us, the people of Earth?" Yang Gang scoffed.

"I!" Lin Shihai, known for his volatility, was taken aback for the first time by someone from Earth.

At that moment, Yang Gang suddenly switched to a more playful expression, "Officer Lin, didn’t you come to Earth to capture Shishan? Just catch him quickly, and then you can leave Earth."

Lin Shihai was bewildered by Yang Gang’s abrupt change in style.

After a moment of thought and a sigh, he said, "Alas, even if I catch him, I cannot return. The truth is, I don’t know the way back to Pandora Star. Pandora Star possesses Super Space-time Jump Technology, but it is not open to humans."

Yang Gang’s mouth twitched slightly, "After all this time, it turns out that you can’t break out of the universe either."

Lin Shihai was greatly embarrassed, "Although we lack space jump technology and can’t jump directly from Pandora Star to Earth, our ships have no problem crossing a little Solar System!"

"Then how did you get here?" Little suddenly asked.

After thinking for a while, Lin Shihai answered, "I pretended to be swallowed by a Monster, successfully avoiding the routine check for space jumps. After reaching Earth, I cut my way out. Shishan used the same method to escape to Earth."

"Meow, humans are too crazy. Even ordinary Monsters’ stomachs have super strong corrosive power, and although Pandora Star’s humans are physically strong, it’s hard for them to withstand the Monster’s stomach’s corrosive digestive forces. Plus, they have to face the difficulty of hypoxia. One misstep, and you really become a meal in the belly of a Monster," Little said.

"But if I can kill Shishan, it’s all worth it!" Lin Shihai once again showed his fierce temper.

"That..." Yang Gang leaned in front of Lin Shihai and inquired meekly, "Did Shishan deceive you emotionally?"

"Ha!" Lin Shihai roared furiously, "Don’t spout nonsense! Who would..."

Lin Shihai’s words suddenly stopped short.

Yang Gang smacked his lips, damn, it really is an emotional dispute!

After a moment of silence, Lin Shihai said indifferently, "The one he deceived was my sister."

She paused, then continued, "My sister had a happy family, a loving husband, and a beautiful daughter. But then that devil Shishan appeared. I don’t know how, but he managed to steal my sister’s heart. For him, she abandoned her husband and child and even risked being convicted to provide him shelter. Later, when their hideout was exposed and the police surrounded him, that devil used my sister’s body to shield himself from bullets! As a result, he escaped successfully, and my sister died."

Upon hearing this, Yang Gang remarked dispassionately, "That was your sister’s own doing. Frankly, not cursing her is already merciful; there is just no reason to feel sympathy."

"It’s not like that!" Lin Shihai shook his head, "I am not making excuses for my sister. My sister was a very traditional person; she truly loved her husband and would not have fallen out of love that quickly. Shishan must have used some despicable method to forcibly twist my sister’s will. My sister, on her deathbed, holding her husband’s hand, said, ’Husband, I love you.’ Those were the last words of her life, and I believe that was her true heartfelt sentiment."

Lin Shihai paused, then her gaze suddenly became stern, "Shishan must be brought to justice quickly, or more women will become victims."

"Forcibly twisting someone’s will?" Yang Gang frowned slightly. If Lin Shihai was not lying, then this Shishan was indeed very dangerous.

Recalling the look in Shishan’s eyes when he watched Zhang Miao, Yang Gang’s pupils flashed with a thick intent to kill.

He clenched his fists, his gaze steely, deep in thought.

Gathering his emotions, Yang Gang promptly grasped Lin Shihai’s jade hand and said, "Officer Lin, I have an irreconcilable vendetta against Shishan. I am willing to join forces with you to confront him."

"You?" Lin Shihai shook her head, "No, no, it’s not possible. Do you have any idea how dangerous Shishan is? He once slaughtered a hundred thousand people, committing heinous crimes beyond measure. You are no match for him."

Yang Gang said indifferently, "I know I am not his opponent. But if a man doesn’t even have the courage to protect his own wife, then what difference is there from being a waste?"

"Wife?" Lin Shihai was slightly surprised, "You’re already married?"

"After the New Year, on February 15th, I will be getting married. If it’s convenient for you, Officer Lin, you are welcome to attend my wedding," Yang Gang said with a smile.

"Er, if I have time, I will attend," Lin Shihai responded lightly.

"Well, if there’s nothing else, we should head back now. The family is worried," Yang Gang thought for a moment, picked up Little Little, and then said, "By the way, Officer Lin, I heard that this thing is quite precious on Pandora Star?"

Little Little waved its front paws in protest, "This feline is not a thing!"

Lin Shihai nodded, "Indeed, it’s quite precious."

"Then what use does this thing have?"

"It’s not a thing!" Little Little protested again.

Lin Shihai looked at Little Little, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Treasure hunting, also known as Goddess Tears."

"Goddess Tears? What is that?" Yang Gang asked curiously.

"Goddess Tears is a type of crystal. Its composition is the same as the Crystal Core inside High-Level Beasts. According to the legends of the humans of Pandora Star, those crystals are the tears shed by a goddess, hence the name Goddess Tears. The official term is Spirit Crystal Stone."

Lin Shihai explained, "Because the humans on Pandora Star have long entered a highly flourishing age of gene civilization, there is a great demand for Crystal Cores. But as you might have heard, we humans are the oppressed on Pandora Star, and obtaining Crystal Cores by hunting High-Level Beasts is extremely difficult. Therefore, the alternative is to use Spirit Crystal Stones, which have the same composition as Monster Crystal Cores. However, Pandora Star is too vast, and finding Spirit Crystal Stones is even harder than hunting High-Level Beasts. But if a Bora Blue Cat is present, searching for Spirit Crystal Stones becomes much easier."

After finishing her explanation, Lin Shihai added, "Of course, the Bora Blue Cat is almost entirely useless on Earth, as Earth is resource-poor and is unlikely to contain any Spirit Crystal Stones."

Little Little waved its front paws in protest, once again.

"Hm... Pandora Star also has mythological legends, huh." Yang Gang was even more curious about this.

Lin Shihai nodded slightly, her expression a bit puzzled: "More than twenty years ago, before the first Monster descended, there presumably hadn’t been any contact between Pandora Star and Earth. So why do Earth’s mythological tales contain the name Pandora?"

"Oh, you mean the Pandora from Greek mythology. I remember, she was the first woman made of clay by Hephaestus as a punishment for Prometheus’s theft of fire, sent to humanity," Yang Gang paused and then said, "It’s probably just a coincidence."

After giving it some thought, Lin Shihai nodded, "Yeah, probably."
