Chapter 316 Personal Feud
At the same time.
Sunnyvale, California.
In this area untouched by any resistance or mob, two women are having a barbecue in a cheap room at a motel.
"This barbecue is fucking awful." Inside the room, Pandora complained bitterly as she used her fork to remove the skewers from the grill and put them on a plate. "I don't understand why we woke up here, and why someone specially prepared this hellish meal. The most ridiculous thing is... we have to eat it."
"It's not just a simple hellish dish." Yu Yu didn't look too good either, with a bandage wrapped around his neck and his right hand in a cast, but his expression was still relatively calm.
She picked up a piece of bacon roll that looked spoiled, put it in her mouth without flinching, and took a sip of wine as well. She said slowly, "It's just that the process of converting data was too rushed, so there were some problems. Don't be fooled by its disgusting taste and appearance. This is several times better than Eoubs' special healing potion."
“Crazy… Could it be that one of the operatives in your branch responsible for reinforcements took pity on us because we were in such a sorry state and made this meal that’s practically a members-only restaurant?” Pandora’s expression of disgust deepened upon hearing this.
“Of course not. Right now, access to the Mirror of Eternal Dreams has been blocked, so no one will come in to die.” Yu Yu shook his head and then explained, “These things were all made by 252.”
Pandora was stunned for a moment after hearing this before asking uncertainly, "Wait, do you mean... 252 has already escaped from the wormhole level?"
“What else?” Yu Yu swallowed the bacon roll with difficulty, let out a long sigh, and continued, “I woke up an hour earlier than you, and she told me a lot of things.”
"For example—she spent hundreds of thousands of years at the wormhole level, where time flows very slowly, or rather, almost completely still. Then she said that she didn't actually have much time to feel bored there because she had a lot of things to do, such as going to parallel universes every day to kill those superfluous elements that were enough to threaten our universe, or cooperating with the leaders of another relatively normal world with forbidden objects, Eoubs, to carry out some activities called 'liberating humanity'; oh right... the idea of barbecue came to her while eating the staff meal. Her godlike data control and almost humane methods of execution are a DOJ-level disaster when it comes to cooking."
"Furthermore, I heard that in another parallel universe, 252 actually took the time to participate in a competition called 'Hellish Gourmet,' and even won first place... I was telling her before that if our universe becomes peaceful in the future, you two won't need to live in seclusion in the mountains anymore. Just open a restaurant and sell this kind of dark cuisine. You'll definitely make a fortune."
"This is fucking outrageous!" Pandora was completely taken aback upon hearing this and immediately questioned, "We've been sisters for so many days, and she didn't even wake me up to catch up?"
“That’s how people in a hurry are,” Yu Yu chuckled, then picked up a piece of mutton that looked rather horribly presented and slowly began to savor it. “I haven’t finished yet, don’t rush me.”
"The girl you met in the data world is an old acquaintance of hers. That bastard probably had a grudge against 252, but he didn't kill you. He just symbolically blocked the methods that 252 left for you."
"What?!" Pandora belatedly realized that she wanted to manipulate some data code to interfere with reality, such as the pile of barbecue in front of her that would be considered a favor if thrown into a latrine—but... there was really no reaction.
"It's a minor issue, just a temporary block." Yu Yu only answered when the other party asked a question, as if the situation was already stable. She added, "Besides, the characteristics of that manipulating code, which digitizes food, are too damaging to you."
“252 told me that once you’re fully adapted, that ability will naturally come back.”
Pandora remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.
During this time, she put away her previously agitated expression and became thoughtful.
After a moment, the girl spoke again: "I just think that we don't need to shorten our opportunities to meet so much."
"After all, in today's world... especially in a society where humanity is darker than the forbidden things, there are not many people like her anymore."
“Indeed.” Yu Yu’s reaction remained very calm.
“She also told me a lot of things, such as everything you experienced in Jerusalem, and your connection with Lilith.”
“Let’s not talk about those things.” Pandora’s eyes immediately showed disgust when she heard the word Jerusalem.
“She has no other trustworthy people to entrust her with, and the deal between 252 and He Yu has been completed, so for now... she is a free person. Given the problems Eoubs is currently facing, the people in charge do not have time to manage a taboo object that can now freely jump between cosmic layers.”
“Speaking of the deal, I’m actually quite curious.” Pandora asked directly when she brought it up, “I’ve asked He Yu many times before, but that bastard never told me. He’s such a nuisance, he’s infuriating.”
Now it was Yu Yu's turn to be silent, but only for a few seconds.
"When she first came out of the battle royale game world, he used the 656's compatibility with all forbidden things to bring her out of the data world and integrate her into the entire human society for observation."
