The Question was almost laughing in anger: "Never mind that you have no basis for this; even if what you say is true, why would I do such a thing?"
"Because this is the only chance to resolve the Sin." Pandora's obsession was deep.
The Question felt something was off; Pandora's state was not right.
"Pandora, how long have you had the Magic Box?"
However, Pandora looked up, and there was a faint, almost imperceptible red light in her eyes. On her forehead, an indistinct eye seemed to be visible, an omen of being bewitched by the Magic Box.
"Pandora, quickly put down the Magic Box; your state is very wrong!"
Pandora, however, smiled and replied: "Of course, I will, as long as you are willing to accept it, I will put it down."
But The Question now dared not take this deadly item. Even Pandora, who was originally the least likely to be affected, had been bewitched. He didn't have the confidence that he would be unaffected.
So, facing the Magic Box Pandora offered, The Question instinctively dodged.
But Pandora was relentless: "Why do you dodge? We can end this chaotic World immediately and let the World return to Eden."
"That's impossible, Pandora. Eden can never be restored from the day it disappeared. Even if it could, it would absolutely not be by such a method."
"You leave me no choice, The Question," Pandora said, pulling out the pistol from her waist.
She raised the gun and aimed it at The Question: "Don't move, or I'm not sure where I'll hit."
But how could The Question fall for such a threat? He turned and ran!
"Bang"—!
Pandora fired the gun. The Magic Box needed The Question to open it, but it didn't need him to be unharmed.
Even if The Question was injured, he could still complete the task.
But the bullet Pandora fired was stopped in mid-air. A hand reached out from the void, its index finger and thumb pinching the still bullet.
Then, the man behind that hand stepped out.
It was Phantom Stranger!
"This is a mistake, Pandora, wake up quickly! Don't be misled by the power of the Magic Box!"
"Judas? I didn't expect to see you here." Pandora merely smiled when she saw him.
For her, it didn't matter whether The Question or Phantom Stranger opened the Magic Box.
And in case The Question wasn't qualified, she could seamlessly transition and hand the Magic Box to Phantom Stranger to try; that would be even better!
So Pandora not only didn't stop but her attacks became more urgent and dense.
And this time, what she fired from her hand was no longer a copper bullet, but magic bullets, which had higher speed and stronger penetration than ordinary bullets.
But these magic bullets failed to penetrate the copper wall and iron barrier laid by Phantom Stranger. Compared to Pandora's self-taught magic spells over many years, Phantom Stranger's inherited power originated from the heavenly system, making it more advanced.
However, Pandora's original purpose was not to fight Phantom Stranger to the death. She merely wanted to attract his attention so that he would overlook her true target.
Pandora spread her hands, and dark magic diffused from her, instantly enveloping the surrounding area. Phantom Stranger and The Question were simultaneously covered.
Phantom Stranger's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately began to break the magic, but then he heard a scream from behind him; it was The Question's voice.
He tore open the Black Room and looked back. The Question was already holding the Magic Box, and under the erosion of its power, three red eyes were growing... Given that he had no facial features, he now looked more like a three-eyed monster.
"What a pity, you're not the one either..." Pandora muttered, looking at the wailing The Question.
Phantom Stranger saw that under the power of the Magic Box, The Question's face suddenly showed a tendency to gradually become clear, as if he was about to regain his appearance.
He was suddenly startled and quickly pounced.
"No!"
As one of the three original Sins at the time, he knew more than Pandora. He knew who The Question's true identity was, but precisely for that reason, he absolutely could not let The Question remember his identity.
Just as the Wizard Council had judged him, he was one of the most heinous Sins in human history!
