Maria suddenly asked.

This question also made the girl in front of him, who was crying, freeze in place.

When he came to his senses, Maria had already stuffed a piece of old-looking candy into the other person's hand, and turned to look at the documents beside him.

"no!"

The girl saw this and tried to stop it.

But then she was surprised to find that Maria got fire from somewhere and ignited the documents on the ground.

The girl stood there in a daze as she watched the precious document gradually burn.

"I don't know what you think of me, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm just an ordinary passerby... So, can you relax a little now?"

Maria looked down at the girl on the ground, and after seeing her tears gradually stop, she continued to stroke the girl's cheek calmly and slowly.

The slightly cool fingers lightly touched the girl's dirty skin. The girl widened her eyes and looked at the cold woman in front of her in disbelief.

Although her appearance seemed sharp and untouchable, her gentle movements could not be faked.

She leaned her back against the sky and gently wiped the girl's tears.

The girl also widened her eyes and silently let the other person touch her cheek.

The long-lost tenderness and sense of security once again enveloped her, making her feel at ease again.

Maybe... this person... can be trusted?

The thought flashed through the girl's mind for a split second, but even faster, she desperately tried to distance herself from Maria.

Just when Maria thought her comfort had failed, the girl spoke timidly.

“Don’t…don’t touch me.”

"I...I am infected."

She spoke very firmly, but her words could not hide her inferiority.

The Originium crystals on her body were not obvious, so it was normal that Maria did not see that she was infected.

Although she is young, she is fed up with the discrimination against infected people in this world.

She stubbornly believed that Maria's kindness to her at this time was kindness towards a strange child, not kindness towards an infected person.

Once the other party knows that they are infected, they will definitely show a disgusted expression and leave.

That expression...

That kind of discriminatory, contemptuous, even resentful and angry expression...

She didn't want to see it anymore.

But, what surprised her was

Maria didn't react much when she heard her say that she was infected. She just walked over silently and pulled the girl up from the ground.

"What's your name?"

She continued to ask questions.

The girl next to her was also stunned for a long time, and then she explained in a panic.

"I, I'm infected!"

"I know... I don't think I'm young anymore, but my ears are still useful. So, what's your name?"

Maria asked calmly, and her gentle and steady tone made the girl in front of her hesitate for a long time.

She stared blankly at the precious candy in her hand, which she had not eaten for a long time. A sense of peace that she thought she would never get again gradually came over her.

The bitter pain made her tears flow uncontrollably again.

"Misha..."

She choked up, lowered her head and said her name. Her timid look made people feel distressed.

But Maria didn't do much, she just reached out and rubbed the other person's floppy-looking ears.

Although they are called bear ears, the internal structure should be a little different from normal ones... They are made of cartilage, which feels very comfortable to pinch, and will bounce back when pressed... However, this does not seem to be a comfortable action for the girl, and after they bounce back, she will shake twice as a conditioned reflex.

"Misha? It's a unique name."

Maria said calmly, then half-knelt on the spot and looked at the girl.

"You're from Czernobog, aren't you?"

"Ah."

"…Do you need help?"

Maria was silent for a while and then asked again.

At the same time, her brain was thinking quickly.

Obviously, judging from the girl's behavior just now, she should not be a girl from an ordinary family... At least it is unlikely that an ordinary family would raise a girl who would not consider protecting her own safety first in a critical moment but instead turn around and choose to destroy documents.

After all, everyone values ​​their lives, and without strong enough beliefs, few people can do such a thing.

Judging from the importance the other party attaches to the document, the secret hidden in it must be very important.

In fact, this may no longer be a level between individuals or organizations.

It is very likely a connection between mobile city-states.

The girl was contacted through Chernobog, which was said to have been conquered by the Reunion Movement.

This document may contain some great secrets.

However, Maria didn't really want to deal with matters of this magnitude.

It’s not that she can’t handle it, it’s just that she simply doesn’t want to find things to do.

Sorry, my appearance fee is very high and this job is not suitable for me.

Besides, even if she was willing to help, it didn't seem like things could be resolved in a short time.

The best way is to hand it over to capable people.

For example...the detective girl Maria met before.

From what I'd learned during the previous conversation in bed, this detective girl must be eager to make a career, and this girl, who might be hiding a big secret, might be able to do her a favor...

It's a good thing.

But just when Maria was waiting for the girl to reach out to her for help.

A purple crossbow arrow flew past her side.

The little bear girl was obviously frightened and her body shrank suddenly.

Maria looked back with a calm expression.

Not far away, a figure named Bonebreaker was slowly walking towards this side.

"Give her to me..."

Chapter 67 A solemn atmosphere

"Oh my~ Isn't it a bit crowded here?"

While standing on a high place, Archangel launched attacks on all enemies within his sight, while curiously asking the little girl who looked no more than a teenager beside him.

What a surprise.

Although she had heard before that the mighty Rhodes Island was led by a little girl, after actually seeing the other party, Angelica was still a little surprised.

The other person is only thirteen or fourteen years old, right?

He actually leads the entire Rhodes Island?

Is it so powerful?

"I'm sorry, Miss Exia, for getting you involved in this."

The girl named Amiya extended her hand as she spoke.

The condensed spells bombarded the enemy one after another.

But obviously, compared to the Archangel who has been baptized in the struggle, Amiya still has some idealism.

Although her blows were heavy, they were never fatal.

This made the Archangel standing by feel helpless.

But he was the boss after all, so they couldn't say much.

"So, where is the cargo you're delivering? And where are you sending it to? After all, we have a companion who's gone somewhere unknown. Even though we haven't been in contact for long, we're still worried about her."

"It would be best if this could be dealt with sooner... Ah, I don't mean to dislike you~"

As Archangel spoke, he mercilessly killed several thugs.

But Amiya on the side showed an embarrassment.

"About this... I'm sorry, Miss Exia, we haven't found it yet."

"Eh?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Kal'tsit probably didn't tell you our goal... We came to Longmen this time to seek cooperation, and one of the purposes of that cooperation is to find a girl. Her father is a senior executive of Chernobog. She is hiding something very important, so no matter what, we must protect her before the Reunion Movement captures her."

"Hey, is that so?"

After hearing Amiya's explanation, Archangel didn't react much.

After hearing the strange but calm female voice in the headset, she turned around without hesitation, aimed at another direction and started attacking.

"So... does that mean our next mission is to find her so we can continue delivering the goods?"

"……Is such that."

Facing the lively Archangel, Amiya also forced a comforting smile.

"I'm sorry to have put you in danger. If you're in a hurry, I have photos here. You can..."

"Oh my, don't be so formal~"

Hearing Amiya's words trying to let herself and others go first, the Archangel also laughed.

"It's already this late, how can we leave first? Besides, even if we leave, I guess the other members of the Reunion Movement won't let us go... It's better to just defeat them all here."

"Really, thank you for your help."

Little Amiya still felt a little sorry about this matter, and the cold female voice came again in the combat communication.

"Amiya, move your position with Exia and get ready at the B2 area platform."

"Ah, yes, Doctor!"

Hearing the familiar female voice, Amiya came back to her senses. She nodded to the Archangel beside her and began to move.

While running, Angel of Power asked curiously.

"Do you trust this doctor?"

"……Um."

After a moment of silence, Amiya nodded decisively.

"The doctor... is amazing. She's always been like this."

"I am only the nominal leader of Rhodes Island, but in reality, it is Dr. Kal'tsit and the Doctor, as well as everyone who silently follows their lead, who truly drive Rhodes Island's actions."

"I'm actually... not as great as everyone thinks."

"Eh~ Is that so?" Exia showed a surprised expression.

After seeing the lonely expression on the little black rabbit in front of him, he felt a little embarrassed.

She's not one to comfort anyone or anything.

After hesitating for a while, she suddenly came to her senses.

"I'll introduce her to you next time."

"Eh?"
