She received the gift of God [Greek mythology]

Seeing that Pandora had a question mark on her face, and obviously wanted to ask another question, Apollo turned over directly, expressing a resolute attitude that she would not make any more answers.She shrugged: "Thank you, then goodbye, Mr. Caterpillar."

Apollo immediately turned back and corrected angrily: "It's the caterpillar sage!"

But Pandora has gone far.

At the end of the mushroom forest is a lake.Pandora looked around, there was no boat, the other side was just a thin line in the distance, and the water looked very deep, so she couldn't just swim across it, could she?Although I don't know when the Mad Hatter's tea will start, it will definitely be too late.

Pandora wanted to find an aborigine to ask how to cross this swamp, but unlike before, she didn't encounter any strange creatures here.A certain nasty cat is still missing.There is an outdoor dining table on the shore of the lake, next to a wooden sign that reads succinctly: Lake of Tears.What a strange name.She couldn't help but took a sip of the lake water.Really salty, same as tears.

In other words, as long as the lake is salty enough, she won't sink.

Looking at the table again, there is only a tray on it, holding a small cupcake, and a white chocolate sign on the top of the frosting cream, very suspiciously written in cursive with chocolate sauce "Eatme eat me" typeface.Do you try to swim to the other side directly, or take a bite of this cake first?

There are too many strange things from falling into the rabbit hole, and Pandora has completely accepted that this world has no logic at all without knowing it. Rather, this kind of disordered madness is the order that this world should have.So since the cake says to ask her to eat it, then she should be respectful rather than obedient...

Delicate and lovely looking cupcakes taste amazing, literally nothing at all.Not even that chocolate sign is sweet.

However, after Pandora swallowed the first mouthful, she suddenly found that the Lake of Tears became a little smaller.No, she got bigger.She looked at the small cake she had taken a bite out of, and took another bite out of nowhere.Immediately she grew bigger, crushing a sign by the lake with one kick.Take another bite, and bite, until the entire little cake is eaten.The originally vast water surface has become a small pond that can be crossed in a few steps.Pandora can even clearly see the scenery on the other side.She saw a small house with a garden, and somehow she was sure that was where the Mad Hatter was.

It won't be too late now.

Pandora took off her shoes and socks and held them in her hands, and stepped into the Lake of Tears (pond) barefoot. After confirming that she could move on, she strode across the lake and walked towards the opposite bank.When she got to the shore, she suddenly realized a problem. Now that she is so huge, even if she gets near the Mad Hatter's house, she can't get in at all?

Thinking of this, she stepped out of the pond and took half a step cautiously towards the house with red roof tiles.Huh?strangeness?The distance has not shortened?With the courage to accidentally trample on the flower garden at the entrance of the house, Pandora took another big step.The small house at the destination seems to have taken a big step backward.Pandora backed away, but it didn't move in place.Pandora quickly realized that for some reason, she couldn't get close to that house.

Apollo said that if she wanted to see the Mad Hatter, he could find her.But now she crossed the Lake of Tears with such thoughts, but she couldn't go any further.Ah, so the Caterpillar Sage did only tell her how to "find" the Mad Hatter's house, but not how to get into the house or the garden.Hateful words say half of Apollo!

"My God, my God, it's her, and she appeared again!"

"She appeared again!"

"Hurry up, someone has to tell the Mad Hatter!"

"Don't push me, go yourself!"

"Of course you have to go!"

The noise on the shore turned out to be three crows sitting on a willow tree and arguing non-stop.

"Look, why is she standing still?"

"Tsk, what a bad memory you are. How normal is this."

"That's right, that's right, she was standing so stupidly back then, the queen didn't allow such tall things to exist, and those card men threw javelins at her, trying to knock her down and behead her. She cried in pain , just this lake. I remember it clearly, and in terms of memory, I am the best among the three of us!"

Finally, Pandora couldn't help but look at the crows in the meeting.Mowlos and Apollo acted as if they knew her, and the caterpillar asked her how much she remembered now.Could it be that she had really been here before, and was the culprit of this lake, as the crows said?Then she remembered that the card soldiers had another charge against her: swallowing the Queen like a cake.

Uh, she just ate a weird cupcake.It feels very subtle.

"Hey, she's looking! She's looking at us!"

"What to do, she found us!

"It's all your fault. You spoke too loudly, and she stared at you..."

"No, it's you she's looking at!"

"It's you!"

"It's obviously you!"

Fluttering, the three crows wanted to take off and escape.But Pandora has already stepped over and grabbed them all.The sharp crow's cry gave her a headache, and she couldn't help threatening: "If you call me again, I will throw you all into the water."

"Alas--"

"Don't...don't...I hate water..."

"It's both their fault, I didn't do anything!"

It's probably impossible to shut them up.Pandora breathed out: "You guys know me, right? So can you tell me, how can I get into the Mad Hatter's house?"

"I can't say that."

"I can't say either."

"I... I can't say either."

Pandora was a little annoyed, why one or two of them couldn't understand what they said: "Why can't you say it?"

"Because... because time is listening, we dare not violate the rules and provoke it."

"Time? I thought it had been killed."

The crows trembled together: "No, no, they didn't die!"

Pandora couldn't tell the reason, but she became genuinely anxious: "Then tell me everything you can say."

The crows exchanged their eyes and whispered for a while, and one of them jumped on the tip of her middle finger, as if speaking as a representative: "My name is Kakoy, let me speak."

"What do you say……?"

The crow looked around and said: "Hey, the first story. There used to be a tyrant, her name was Destiny. But one day, she was eaten by a guy who didn't know where she came from, haha. She should be beheaded The murderer who was sheltered and sent away by someone has disappeared since then. And the crazy country has since gotten rid of the cruel rule of fate. Congratulations, congratulations, the end of the first story.

"And then there's the second story. The Mad Hatter wasn't that crazy before, but one day, for some reason, he had a falling out with time, and time cursed him, and he was forever trapped in the time before the tea party, waiting The guests who will come. How poor, how pathetic. And the second story is over."

The other two crows nodded in agreement: "These two stories have nothing to do with each other, ahaha. By the way, my name is Pernoy."

"Yes yes, it has nothing to do with it. My name is Nosoi."

Pandora frowned: "Since the Mad Hatter is cursed by time, the tea party will never start, so there is no way to be late?" The White Rabbit and Mowlos did not say so.

Kakoy tilted his head: "For the tea party, no one will be late, but for the reason of the Mad Hatter, it is not necessarily so."

Pandora was silent for a moment before asking: "Then... what should I do?"

The three crows looked at each other, unable to answer.

"Isn't the method on you?"

Pandora turned around when she heard the sound, loosened her hands, and the three crows flew away immediately.

Of course, it was the elusive Mowlos who spoke.He squatted on the top of the tallest treetop, compared to the gigantic Pandora, he was only about the size of her arm, really like a cat.

Pandora got angry when she saw this guy's smiling face, and she spread her hands to show him: "On me? There's nothing on me—?" little bottle.It was the one she had casually put in her pocket before.It actually grew bigger with her.

The label text that was originally difficult to read was slightly recognizable because it was enlarged, and it was vaguely...

"Drink me drink me?"

Mowlos flicked his tail leisurely: "So what are you going to do?"

Nonsense, of course drink it.

With a bang, Pandora uncorked the bottle, held her breath, and didn't care what the taste of the liquid would be as it slid across her tongue, she drank a mouthful.

It was as if a heavy punch had been taken in the chest, and the heart almost stopped for half a beat in bewilderment.

Pandora's body seemed to be dragged vigorously from below, and her feet were weighed down, as if she had fallen into a rabbit hole again.

No, she jumped down by herself.

The adventures she had forgotten were replaying rapidly in her mind.

More than ten years ago, she chased a boy with rabbit ears and jumped into the hole where he disappeared.The bottom of the rabbit hole leads to a house. She goes out, steals a small cake with the words "Eat me" written on it in the kitchen, immediately smashes the house, and becomes as tall as a giant.The queen of fate will cut off her head, because no one can look down on fate.The card man threw a spear and fired a feathered arrow, which hurt like a needle when it fell on her.She cried out in pain, and her tears became a lake, which wet the card men who attacked her.

She abandoned her pursuers, followed the suggestion of Meowlos who appeared suddenly, went into the mushroom forest to find the caterpillar sage, and got the formula of the great antidote from Apollo.So she embarked on a journey to collect antidote materials. Her traveling companion was a thief and liar wearing a hat. Everyone called him the Mad Hatter, because there was nothing he dared not steal, and there was no one he dared not lie to. Only madmen do that. bold.

Later, new partners joined: the rabbit boy Faol, the lady Hecate... It was a thrilling and joyful journey, and finally they successfully collected the ingredients for the formula, and Hecate formulated the antidote.But at that moment, the Queen's own army came after her.Fate will make a judgment on all those who have helped Pandora and cut off their heads.

As long as the queen exists, everyone except Pandora must bow to her.The Queen of Destiny is so pompous, yet so small.

So Pandora reached out and lifted her up from the throne of fate.The chubby queen exuded the sweet aroma of marshmallow hot cocoa, and the girl Pandora swallowed the queen with a thought.

She ate Tyrant Fate.

The ocean-like card army rushed towards Pandora, even if she maintained her huge form, she couldn't escape.But the next moment, she was standing on a pile of dead leaves under the rabbit hole.Not only that, but she returned to her normal size, and for the first time had to look up to see the Mad Hatter's face.He stole the vision of time, time was going to be confused for a while, and they went back to the moment she fell down the rabbit hole.said the thief in the hat calmly.She had to escape before the enraged Card Army could execute her.

"Then what do you do? What will happen to you?"

Hearing this, the young man with black hair and green eyes took her hand, put the small bottle containing the antidote back into her palm, pressed her fingers to make her close her palm, and squeeze it tightly.

The gray mist rushed towards them, which was the prelude to returning time to the right track.

The Mad Hatter gave her a little nudge, and she fell out of the mist, waking up from a strange dream under the oak trees of the old house.Like most dreams, the things in the dream faded quickly, then completely lost their shape, and were completely forgotten by her, including the last words that the young man said to her with a smile when he disappeared before the mist:

"Next time you come again, let's have a tea party. Just as we agreed before."
