In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"A large portion of Rhodes Island's population consists of infected people..."

Texas explained, turning his head again to look at the confused Maria.

"As I told you before, although many of the infected are somewhat crazy, not all of them are just crazy. There are also many who try to live a peaceful life."

"But that kind of life is hard to find."

"The Terran nations have varying attitudes towards the infected... but they generally don't consider the infected as normal citizens."

"Organizations like Rhodes Island, however, can provide these infected people with a place to live a normal life... This leads to their internal cohesion being much higher than you might have seen."

Having said that, Texas also sighed softly.

"But... it's also because of this reason that many people have different views on Rhodes Island. Some people think that Rhodes Island is a huge bomb, operating with a number of small bombs."

"There are also other people who believe that Rhode Island is a place full of tolerance..."

"Although from what I understand, Rhodes Island is indeed a relatively kind and gentle place, it is not suitable for many ordinary people to live here."

"Even if the infected here consciously restrain themselves, the spread of infection is ultimately difficult to control."

"But I think that since these people have chosen to join Rhodes Island, they are probably prepared to be infected themselves."

Texas said, and Yugi was silent.

She admired Rhodes Island and was willing to cooperate with them, but if she was asked whether she was willing to join Rhodes Island, she would have a hard time answering.

Even she had no fear of being infected by Originium.

Being infected with Originium is a terminal illness in this world... This is also the reason why she often condones Lappland's somewhat excessive actions.

Because in her opinion, she needs to take a lot of responsibility for Lappland being infected with Originium disease.

After listening to Texas' explanation quietly, Maria fell into silence.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked again.

"So... when did Originium disease appear?"

"When will it appear?"

Texas was also a little confused when he heard Maria's question.

She really hadn't thought about this question.

She felt that Originium disease was like a cold. Everyone knew about it and had some understanding of it, but as for how and when the cold appeared in this world, they could only say...

“It’s been around since the beginning of civilization.”

Texas answered Maria.

Seeing Maria looking at the infected people without saying a word, she was also a little confused.

"Have you...thought of anything?"

"...I just have some feelings. Ya."

Maria slowly narrowed her eyes, and her answer to Texas' question was very vague.

This made Texas a little confused.

But soon, she had no time to wonder.

A chilling feeling suddenly ran through her body!

She turned around almost subconsciously and looked around suddenly!

"Ok?"

Maria turned her head to look at Texas, and when she saw her put her hand on her weapon, she also looked strange.

She didn't know why Texas had such a big reaction.

I didn't feel anything.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel like... there are dangerous people around here."

Texas also realized how strange her sudden movements were, but she just felt uncomfortable all over.

It’s like... I need to sleep on a guillotine, and my neck needs to be placed on the incision of the guillotine!

A feeling of nervous tension surrounded her.

But sooner or later, she would have no time to care about the enemy who was nowhere to be found.

A bigger enemy appeared in front of her!

"Maria~"

The big yellow dog suddenly pounced towards this side!

Chapter 136 There is something dirty!

"Maria~"

Just as Texas was concentrating on the alarm emanating from her body, a yellow figure tore through the defense she had built around Maria without hesitation and excitedly threw himself into her arms.

When she turned her head to see the other person clearly, she was surprised to find that this was the Rhodes Island member she had seen before...

"It's you...puppy."

Although Maria sensed the other person's presence when she ran towards her, looking at her happy look, Maria said nothing in the end. She just gently stroked her head and looked at the silly smile on her face.

It was strange to say, from Maria's point of view, her contact with the girl was not deep, nor did it last long, but in that short time, the girl remembered her...

All I can say is that a person's weight is always unknown to himself.

"Hey hey hey~Maria~"

The silly puppy girl seemed to enjoy Maria's touch very much, and a bright smile was visible on her face.

The twitching tail slapped against his body with some weight.

Although Ceobe usually smiles like this, it is obvious that her smile is brighter than before.

Even many operators passing by were surprised by this.

Although Operator Ceobe was enthusiastic and welcomed everyone, she had never done such an intimate act as hugging with many people.

Who is this woman...?

For a moment, everyone started to murmur.

But Texas was in no mood to think so much.

She just stared blankly at the puppy clinging to Maria's body without any pressure, and her expression suddenly became very subtle.

Whether out of jealousy or something else, she coughed twice, trying to make the other party understand that they were in public and should restrain themselves.

But unfortunately, Texas still didn't understand the girl Ceobe. She wouldn't listen to too many people. She just enjoyed the hug that belonged to her alone at this moment.

Warmth enveloped her whole body once again...

She fully monopolized Maria at this time~

"Maria~"

With her hands tightly wrapped around Maria's slender waist, the puppy girl smiled and looked at the face in front of her that had not changed in more than ten years.

"Rhode Island...home! I found it!"

She excitedly reported her victory to Maria... Since they parted ways, she has never forgotten Maria's warning to her.

Maria said she would return to her own when she found a home.

And she also excitedly announced that she had found her home.

Rhode Island...it's a great place.

Many people would give her delicious food.

And let her beat up the bad guys!

This is my home!

Maria also returned to his side...

Great!

A puppy's happiness is so simple.

This place is simply paradise!

"...You still remember it."

Maria hesitated for a moment and took off her gloves, a rare occurrence.

The cool and delicate fingers gently touched the girl's cheek, and the thumb deep inside gently scratched the girl's lips.

The corners of his eyes, which were originally calm and cold, now revealed a hint of softness.

She had just casually mentioned a direction, and her main purpose was to hope that the girl could walk out of the forest after she left.

But what she didn't expect was that the girl actually remembered her words all the time...

And I have always believed...

Even Maria could feel a bit of warmth from such trust.

Especially gaining the trust of a child like this...

Such a child...

After rubbing her fingers a few times, Maria suddenly paused and then withdrew her hand.

"Ok?"

The silly girl didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet. She just raised her head and looked at Maria in confusion, with her head tilted, looking a little confused.

Maria, however, narrowed her eyes silently and stared at the puppy in front of her.

"Originium disease...are you infected?"

"...Woo!"

When the puppy girl heard Maria mention Originium disease, she hesitated for a long time, but finally she understood what Maria was saying and lowered her head with a little loss and timidity.

The pitiful eyes kept on looking at Maria.

Maria probably understood the other party's concerns. After hesitating for a while, she reached out her hand again and stroked the girl's face.

Although Maria said nothing, this action gave the puppy girl confidence.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded silently.

"Infected..."

She said this like a child who had made a mistake.

"Sure enough."

Maria was not surprised; rather, this was within her expectations.

Just now, when she reached out and touched the girl, she also felt the aura of the beast coming from her...

This was the second time Maria felt the breath of the beast in this world.

The last time this happened was when she and Chen were taking a bath together.

At that time, as she touched him, the aura of the beast also spread from the other person's body.

This once left Maria puzzled.

Because whether a person is a beast is an affirmative proposition.

A beast is a beast, and if it is not a beast, it is not a beast.

It is impossible to show a certain behavior because of someone's touch.

Later, the analysis of the puppet and Xiao Baohan led to a conclusion.

Maria's touch will cause those infected with Originium disease to transform into beasts...

It’s just that Maria has never had the opportunity to verify this guess before, so it’s difficult to confirm.
