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

After waiting for a while, Xingxiong, who had been cleaned, walked out wearing a loose shirt and was too lazy to button it up.

She looked at Maria in front of her, whose expression remained calm. After hesitating for a moment, she gave a helpless smile.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

"Ok?"

"Although Chen is ruthless and has a very old-fashioned personality, and isn't even good at cooking, she is indeed a good girl... Do you have any ideas?"

“…I don’t understand what you mean.”

Maria tilted her head, looking a little confused.

After seeing Xingxiong sitting next to her confidently, she even left some space for him.

After listening to Xiao Baohan's explanation, Maria also realized that she seemed not suitable for overly close contact with others, and she should pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

However, Xingxiong understood it in a different way.

"Do you think it's bad to have more contact with me since you're with Chen?"

Xingxiong raised the corners of his mouth helplessly and sighed.

Although it's a bit strange, this Maria might be a good candidate.

"So...Maria, how did you conquer Lao Chen?"

"Strategy?"

"Even though Lao Chen didn't say anything, I've worked with her for so long. How could I not know what she's thinking?"

Xingxiong smiled and opened a can of beer for himself.

"She looks reluctant, but actually she's more or less accepted you... I've never been in a relationship before, so I really don't understand this."

Xingxiong drank the beer in his hand in one gulp, then scratched his head awkwardly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

She just asked Lao Chen what was going on, but no matter how she asked, Lao Chen seemed to be stupid, squatting alone in the corner of the bathroom.

This situation made Xingxiong have no idea where to start.

After struggling for a long time, she had to admit one thing.

But I came back at the wrong time.

"Forget it, just pretend I'm not home tonight. I'll pack my things and leave... I'll be back in two or three days, remember... Tsk, forget it, Old Chen should know his limits."

"Proportion?"

"It's an adjective, meaning that one consciously limits the extent of their actions... I think it's this awareness. I'm not from Yan Country, so I'm not particularly familiar with this... Tsk, after all, this is my home."

Xingxiong scratched his head and turned away.

Maria was left standing there in a daze, her face full of confusion.

"Strategy? Measure?"

……

"Ah...what am I doing?"

Squatting in the bathroom, Chen felt mixed emotions.

To be honest, she really couldn't figure out what was going on.

I just want to come and visit my companions today, right?

As a result, they were attacked by members of the Integration Movement on the way.

I originally thought it was just a small incident that was not commonplace, but I found that there was something more hidden in it.

After finally arriving at Xingxiong's house, I ran into Maria and almost...

what……

Chen felt more and more that there was something wrong with his brain.

"Could it be... the influence of these things?"

After hesitating for a moment, Chen silently raised his arm.

Just on her unknown inner side, there was a tiny bit of black attached to it.

Because it is so small, if you don’t look carefully, many people may think it is a mole.

But in fact, Chen was very clear.

This is... this world's terminal illness.

Symptoms of Originium Disease...

Chapter 57: Lao Chen, Don’t Leave Tonight

isn't it...

Shaking his head, Chen also understood that this was just his own fantasy.

After all, not everyone will be affected by Originium disease in their brain. Generally speaking, ordinary people don't even live to see the time when Originium disease affects their brain.

Her condition was slightly better, but she also understood that her mind was clear...she was still herself.

A guy who was infected with Originium disease but was not exposed and still appeared in the public eye.

Sometimes Chen would wonder if he was really qualified to treat those captured Originium patients like that...Longmen implemented very strict Originium disease control regulations. Generally speaking, Originium patients were not even allowed to have too much contact with normal people.

This made Chen couldn't help but doubt, are his actions really reasonable?

You know, she is also a patient with Originium disease...but because of her identity and other reasons, she still enjoys treatment that ordinary people cannot enjoy, but she acts to exclude other patients with Originium disease.

This kind of me...

"It's really ridiculous..."

Chen sighed and leaned aside silently.

His swaying gaze unconsciously fell on his exclusive weapon beside the bathroom.

Chi Xiao.

This is an extremely unique Originium weapon created by Thor Industries. It itself has many mysteries. It can even be said that this is a weapon with its own consciousness.

It will decide who is its master and whether to pull it out... At least so far, Chen has never pulled it out completely.

As a weapon forged from Originium, the power it can exert is astonishing. Even if it is only emitted occasionally, it is enough for Chen to perfectly display his Originium skills and do things that many ordinary people dare not even think about.

But this is not without cost.

After long-term exposure to such high concentrations of Originium, Chen's body was inevitably affected to a certain extent.

Originally, Chen thought everything was under control, but it was not until a few days ago that she discovered that she had been infected with Originium disease.

In this world, Originium disease is, in a sense, more terrifying than a terminal illness.

At least, she knew that with Originium disease, it was unlikely that she could continue to serve as the leader of the special operations team of the Lungmen Guard Bureau.

This made Chen a little overwhelmed.

You know, the reason why she is working so hard now is, on the one hand, that she wants to do something with her own strength, and on the other hand, she also wants to prove her ability and prove to her uncle, Wei Yanwu, that she is no longer the child who can do nothing.

but……

"I still haven't done anything yet."

Chen looked at his pale hands with his eyes half closed.

After complaining for a while, feeling the water temperature gradually getting lower, Chen did not stay in there any longer, but turned around and stood up.

After wiping the sweat off her body in front of the mirror, she also turned her head away.

But...what surprised her was that her clothes had been taken away without her knowing when.

"Is it Xingxiong?"

When she came to Xingxiong's house before, she would also take a bath. Every time, Xingxiong would take her clothes and his own clothes out to wash in the washing machine. During this time, she would wear something else to cover herself up temporarily.

If it's just facing Xingxiong, such behavior is nothing.

After all, the two of them are old acquaintances and remember each other's measurements, weight and height clearly.

But the problem is...

"That Maria is still here..."

A flush of red appeared on Chen's skin.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but inexplicably, her view of Maria was different from that of others.

After hesitating for a long time, she approached the door cautiously.

"Star Bear? Star Bear?"

She squatted at the bathroom door and called out to her companion in a low voice, hoping to get a response.

Now she is naked!

"what happened?"

A muffled sound came from the door. Although it was strange, Chen didn't have time to think too much.

"Um... do you have any extra clothes?"

"Extra clothing?"

"Yes, anything, lend me a set..."

"……I see."

At the door, footsteps were heard.

Soon after, the sound of footsteps slowly came.

"I'll leave the clothes at the door."

"Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"……Um."

Chen let out a long sigh and felt relieved.

After waiting for a while, she carefully opened the door a crack.

Through the gap, she could see the neatly folded white dress shirt and black trousers at the door... The dress shirt had beautiful lace at the collar, decorated with a mirror emerald.

"Strange, Xingxiong would buy this kind of clothes?"

In Chen's memory, Xingxiong always wore whatever was comfortable for her in daily life. This kind of clothing was unlikely to be something she would wear.

Instead it's like...

"What's wrong?"

Right next to the wall where Chen couldn't see, Maria squatted curiously, looking at the stiff little girl with a strange expression on her face.

"You don't know how to wear this kind of clothes?"

“…No, not…you…”

"If you don't know how to put it on, I can help you."

"Ah! Don't open the door! Don't..."

In the bathroom, Chen's face turned red with shame, and he tried desperately to stop Maria from entering the bathroom.

But unfortunately, compared to Maria, Chen's amazing strength seemed like a child's play.

Maria opened the door without even feeling any resistance.

Chen shyly tried to cover her body with her hands, but Maria forcefully pried them apart with her hands.

"Actually, this dress is quite nice to wear...and very comfortable, don't worry."

"Woo..."

In the bathroom, Maria forced the innocent Chen to change his clothes like a doll.

Xingxiong, who had just packed up his belongings, shook his head helplessly and continued walking.
