Chapter 38

With Kong's joining, the atmosphere between Maria and Texas has obviously eased a lot.

From the original solemn silence, he gradually regained some vitality.

It's a pity that after everyone just chatted for a while, Kong left because of his unfinished idol work.

After she left, Maria also stood up silently.

"Is that... the end?"

Texas was also a little surprised when he looked at Maria in front of him.

She still had a lot to say to Maria.

But Maria shook her head.

"The tea party will have to continue later. Now, we need to take care of some other things..."

"Other...things?"

Texas was a little confused, but Maria silently turned her head and looked out at the crowd...

Outside, on Longmen Commercial Street, a dense flow of people were jostling each other.

She could feel that ever since Kong arrived, there had been a vague gaze watching her.

And as Kong left, the sight also dissipated.

This made Maria alert.

When she turned her head, she quickly locked onto her target.

There were several strange figures acting suspiciously, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

……

"Is it her?"

Several people murmured and carefully followed the Lupo girl with bright yellow hair in front of them, holding a promotional photo in her hand.

The person in the photo was actually Sora!

"It should be her... That's right." Another companion also murmured in a low voice, "I heard that she is very close to the people from Penguin Logistics... I just saw her having dinner and chatting with someone from Penguin Logistics. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be the target we are looking for."

"In that case...are you all ready?"

The man spoke again, asking quietly.

And what he got were affirmative answers.

Since everyone has gathered here, it means that everyone is ready.

At this point, they couldn't retreat.

"I'll count to three, two, one, and then everyone can do it together, okay?"

"Ok!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Their restless hearts made them all nervous, and many of them felt themselves trembling all over.

But even so, their eyes looked extremely crazy.

Obviously, at this point, they still have no intention of turning back.

But before they could really take action, two cold women silently blocked their way.

Without a word of nonsense, and without even giving these people time to react, Maria decisively kicked one of them and knocked him unconscious to the ground.

The dull low sound spread and quickly attracted the attention of passers-by.

They immediately noticed Maria and the others who were in a standoff, with their brows slightly frowned, and some of them wanted to step forward to dissuade them.

But when they saw the face of the man lying on the ground, they all showed fear and hurriedly left.

It was like seeing some plague god.

At this time, Maria also saw the strange stones on the other person's face and slowly frowned.

"You'd better not touch these things."

Texas frowned and silently stopped Maria from touching him.

Although simple contact will not cause people to be infected with oripathy, not everyone is in the mood to understand this matter.

Most people simply regard patients with protolith disease as an incurable source of plague, and they can easily be infected as long as they come into contact with them.

And Maria's dress is so unique that once she reaches out and touches it, it won't be long before everyone knows what's going on here.

By then, many people will surely begin to secretly talk about Maria... Texas doesn't want Maria to encounter such a scene.

"is it?"

Maria remained silent.

But she did listen to Texas' words and did not choose to continue touching it with her hands. Instead, she turned her head and looked at the few people who were still standing.

Her sharp eyes allowed her to quickly notice the paper in the other person's hand.

Her decisive character made her not care about the other person's hostile expression at all. She walked forward on her own and snatched the note from the other person's hand.

"As expected... your target... is Sora?"

Maria said, her words clear and calm.

And the people around him also understood something from this sentence.

"These guys...these guys want to attack the flight attendant?"

"Sure enough, the infected are just a bunch of beasts!"

"Hit him! Beat him!"

All of a sudden, voices of condemnation came from all directions.

Everyone's face showed extreme disgust.

Many people even picked up weapons on the spot and threw them towards this side.

In just a few hits, the few people who were still in a daze were beaten to a bloody mess.

A few people fled in a panic, but one person didn't have time to escape and was surrounded by the remaining crowd.

Although no one dared to approach him, the various garbage thrown out successfully blocked his escape route.

"Wait...don't leave me!"

The man called out to his companion.

But unfortunately, faced with such a crisis, none of the companions dared to turn back or stay for long.

The noisy sounds were endless.

Maria now understood what Kong had meant when they had spoken not long ago, that he was quite popular, and she also understood why it was so difficult for the infected to survive.

A man wants to attack Sora... Such a thing will naturally be despised. Some people are fans of Sora, so it's natural for them to be angry.

But these people's reactions now obviously exceeded Maria's expectations... In her impression, there were very few things that would make a group of people who had nothing to do with each other accuse one person so unanimously.

She instinctively realized that these people were not all accusing the man of wanting to attack Kong.

Most of the time, it's simply because of the so-called Originium disease that people are blaming each other.

This made Maria fall into silence. She turned around and ignored the people around her, staring silently at the pale man in front of her.

Facing the overwhelming curses and hostility from all around, facing the crowds rushing in from all directions, blocking him completely, and looking at the space above his head that was blocked by the tall buildings...

The heavy pressure continued to destroy the sanity of the men who remained here.

His breathing became more and more rapid, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression became more and more ferocious.

Later on, he gradually gave up on blocking the stones and garbage thrown by others, and stopped covering his face with his hands. Instead, he stared ferociously at everyone around him like a beast that was cornered!

Maria keenly sensed that something was wrong.

She was very familiar with this look.

Countless people who were forced into a dead end by her would show this expression.

They will not pin their last hope on defense, but choose to fight back without hesitation in the last moment of their lives!

Use violence to vent your despair.

"Everyone! Back off!"

Maria snorted instantly.

But the crowd around them was still a beat slower.

The crazy man's eyes were bloodshot.

Roaring, he rushed towards the crowd around him.

The blazing light gathered on his body, and in an instant, everyone understood what this guy was going to do.

He wants to self-destruct! He wants everyone here to be infected with the Stone Disease!

In an instant, the people who were just filled with righteous indignation were terrified and wanted to escape in a panic.

The crowd dispersed, but there were always children who didn't run fast enough and were bitten by the other party.

Maria, who was standing by, naturally would not watch such a thing happen.

Without any hesitation, Maria rushed up and decisively kicked the guy into a shop nearby.

But at this moment, the flames had surpassed the sound and rushed to Maria!

There was no time to escape with the girl, so Maria decisively used her windbreaker to wrap the girl in front of her tightly.

A penetrating roar was heard in an instant, and Maria could clearly feel the girl in her arms trembling so hard that she couldn't even cry.

The vibrating ripples continued to surge out, and glass fragments mixed with all kinds of things whistled past her ears!

Orange-red flames gushed out, spewing out thick black smoke.

After a moment, everything stopped...

The people who survived the disaster around them raised their heads tremblingly, and many people who were affected by the aftermath were wailing on the spot, but more people still did not lose their conscience and did not choose to make trouble at this time, but chose to work hard to help others.

In Maria's blurred vision, a lady with furry hair was rushing towards her with tears on her face.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be the girl's mother.

Maria lowered her head and looked at the little girl in her arms, whose eyes were wide open and filled with tears but she had forgotten to cry. She stood up silently.

"Madam, your child..."

"Eva!"

She snatched her child from Maria's arms, hugged her baby tightly, and stared at Maria in front of her with horror.

She didn't express her gratitude, didn't leave a message, and didn't even say the most basic thank you. She just looked at Maria as if she were looking at a disaster.

Then he left with his children.

Looking back, everyone nearby looked at Maria with hostility.

Not long ago, Maria could still see a few teams looking at her with admiration, but now... everyone's eyes were filled with hostility and vigilance.

And all of this stems from the crystal that was stuck on Maria's shoulder...

A piece of black Originium crystal...

Chapter 39 Sorry, Maria

Is it because of this...

Seeing the sharp stone that pierced her shoulder, Maria remained calm and pulled it out of her body bit by bit in the horrified eyes of everyone.

Although the sound of flesh, bones and stone rubbing against each other was faint, it made anyone who heard it shudder.

They simply couldn't imagine that someone could keep a straight face in such pain.
