"despair!"
Richard stopped looking for the eight-armed skeleton Anan, glanced at Pandora sitting in front of the door, raised his eyebrows, and stepped closer.
They walked close, next to Pandora, and sat down together in front of the door, keeping quiet and not speaking for more than ten seconds.
After more than ten seconds, Richard turned his head slightly, looked at Pandora and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Pandora tried her best to lift her feet, making a gesture of flying. Then she put her feet back on the ground and replied with a pouted mouth, "I just suddenly felt a little bored."
"Boring? That's easy." Richard said, "I'm preparing to leave here and go to a distant place. When I get there, it will be a completely new environment. You can treat it as a trip - although the place may be a little barren, But there’s also a barren landscape, isn’t it?”
"Okay." Pandora nodded and responded a little feebly.
Richard frowned, looked at Pandora and asked worriedly: "Are you sick?"
"No." Pandora shook her head and denied, "I won't get sick at all."
"Then what's going on? Why do I feel that your state is different from usual? It has changed a lot." Richard said, letting go of his senses and carefully feeling Pandora's state. He was sure that there was nothing abnormal, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"This—" Pandora hesitated for a moment and explained, "Maybe it's because I've been calculating too many numbers recently, and I feel a little dizzy. Now I don't want to think about anything, and I don't want to do any calculations."
"Okay." After hearing this explanation, Richard couldn't help but smile and said, "You are just tired of studying. Although studying seriously is worthy of encouragement, you must also balance work and rest. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Relaxing properly can not only adjust your mood, but also improve your efficiency.”
"Is that so?" Pandora nodded doubtfully.
"Give it a try. Don't be busy these two days. You can just find something else to do." Richard said.
"Okay." Pandora agreed and smiled.
After seeing this, Richard gently rubbed Pandora's hair, got up and walked away.
As soon as Richard left, the smile on Pandora's face disappeared, her expression returned to its original state, and her high mood dropped, and even she didn't know why.
Richard continued walking towards the distance, thinking about Pandora as he walked: What is this? Examination syndrome? Are you in a bad mood, depressed, or restless because you study too much and have exams coming soon
But now there is no exam at all.
In view of Pandora's rapid progress in learning, her good attitude towards conscious learning, and her high self-learning ability, he has not assigned special test questions to Pandora for a long time.
Besides, even if the exam really happened, Pandora shouldn't be under so much pressure.
With this thought, Richard walked dozens of meters away. He was considering whether to give Pandora some psychological counseling alone after communicating with the eight-armed skeleton Anan, when he suddenly thought of something and stopped suddenly with a "pop".
His eyes shrank slightly, the hairs on his skin suddenly stood up, and many muscles subconsciously contracted. He felt a cold air rising, and a strong sense of danger enveloped his whole body. He suddenly realized something:
Examination syndrome? take an exam
Examination syndrome in a narrow sense refers to a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as uneasiness, mental anxiety, memory loss, and slow thinking due to poor psychological quality and fear when a person faces an upcoming exam, which affects himself or herself. Ability to exert, thereby leading to failure in the exam.
The broad examination syndrome does not specifically refer to examinations, but is more broadly applicable to all stressful events—any uncomfortable reaction in the face of known stress can fall into this category.
In other words, with known pressure, "examination syndrome" can occur.
What are the known stresses of Pandora
As far as he knew, there were no foreseeable pressures.
What about unforeseen stress
Unpredictable!
He couldn't foresee it, but Pandora could.
Because Pandora is the same as Ximu, a special kind of immortal high-level life, a dragon. Due to talent and instinct, Pandora has the ability to predict, and she has demonstrated it many times.
Not long ago, it was Pandora who used her prophecy ability to determine the identity of the eight-armed skeleton Anan as a "good guy".
Pandora has a special sense of unforeseeable things, and can detect dangers in advance, or see the results of some things in advance. But because Pandora is too young, she cannot fully master this prophetic ability, so its use is relatively "rudimentary".
The specific performance is as follows: when predicting some simple things, such as predicting the answer to a multiple-choice question, it will be more clear. When predicting some complicated things, it is relatively vague. Sometimes even Pandora herself cannot be sure whether the prediction is true or false, and it is more of a vague feeling.
And feelings affect emotions.
If the things prophesied are complex enough, the feelings generated are secretive enough, and the emotional changes caused are bound to make people confused, just like now.
Of course, Pandora might just be simply upset, but what if she really predicted some danger
"Hoo-ho-"
Richard took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide, turned around quickly, and walked back to Pandora.
"How..." Pandora asked a little strangely when she saw Richard go and come back.
"Don't talk yet." Richard stretched out his hand to hold Pandora's shoulders, looked into Pandora's eyes, and asked seriously, "Pandora, please recall carefully first, when did you start feeling bored? Why? If this happens, do you subconsciously feel something is going to happen?"
"This—" Pandora frowned, as if she didn't know how to answer.
Richard frowned and asked again from a different angle: "In this way, you can free your mind and think about one thing: If you were free from any constraints, what would you most want to do?"
"I-" Pandora lowered her head, thought seriously for a while, then raised her head and replied, "Maybe I will take a walk."
"A walk? Where?"
"Outside, of course."
"Where outside?"
"It's better to be farther outside..." Pandora said calmly, but in the middle of her words, her body suddenly shook and her eyes widened. His breathing was inexplicably rapid, and his voice sped up a bit, as if all the emotions hidden in his heart were suddenly released, and he entered a sleep-like state, "It's best to leave. The further away from here, the better. A perfectly safe place to walk.”
"So, it's dangerous here now, right?"
"It's not dangerous now, but I think it's going to be dangerous soon."
"How long will it be soon?"
"I don't know, but it should be a very short time." As Pandora spoke, she couldn't help but clenched her fists, showing a very nervous look.
"Then what's the most sensible thing to do?" Richard asked aloud.
"Leave immediately."
Pandora shouted, almost with all her strength.
As soon as she said these words, Pandora suddenly woke up from a sleep-like state and returned to her normal self. She was no longer depressed, but just a little confused. She blinked, looked at herself and asked: "Li Cha, I...what's wrong with me?"
"You..." Richard thought for a while and replied with a serious expression, "You... may have completed an advance prophecy under my guidance."
