The cursed children, who have received this blessing, will embark on a new path!
Chapter 164 A Glimpse of the Star God! The Divine Messenger Descends!
The sewers where the Cursed Children lived were attacked by Gastrea. Although all the monsters have been killed and the threat eliminated, their safety cannot be guaranteed going forward.
Therefore, under Elder Matsuzaki's arrangement, everyone decided to move to another underground living quarters.
There's nothing we can do about it...
If we stay at the scene, it will be troublesome if Gastrea reappears in the sewer.
While the elders and girls were moving things, the five people who had gained special powers started chatting.
Why would gastrulators appear in the sewers?
"Yes, aren't the megaliths supposed to keep out Gastrea?"
"Regarding this... I read in the newspaper that although the megaliths can prevent their large-scale invasion, they cannot guarantee that they will filter out Gastrea 100%, because some viruses can even attach to plants and drift into the city."
In this situation, even staying in the city center could result in being attacked by Gastrea.
With the above explanation, the girls suddenly felt enlightened.
Because everyone is currently living in the outer district, district 39, which is a wasteland that will not be rebuilt.
If gastrulatory viruses attach to the surface of plant seeds and drift into the city, the ruins will be the first area they pass through.
The people living here include not only the cursed children, but also poor vagrants, hunted criminals, and various wild animals.
If anyone is infected with gastroenteritis...
The consequences can be imagined.
Halfway there, Lena suddenly stopped and frowned.
Her gaze moved toward the northwest.
At the edge of the field of vision, there are several large nuclear power plants protected by walls.
Lena couldn't understand this...
"Nuclear power plants are dangerous, aren't they? I remember the elder saying, what if it were attacked by Gastrea and exploded?"
Upon hearing Lena's words, the girls around her seemed confused.
She had never formally attended school; she only knew some basic arithmetic and literacy skills taught to her by the elders and professors.
and so--
People started speculating.
"There will be lightning? Because of the place where the power is generated." 060
"That's true. Could it be like thunder on a rainy day? After lightning strikes, it rains."
"Does that mean if a nuclear power plant is damaged, it will rain?"
"Actually, I quite like rainy days because that way I can't smell the bad odors."
The girls chatted amongst themselves.
The last person mentioned that the stench came from another direction.
That is, the southeastern area of the ruined capital—
There is a central landfill there.
All the garbage in human cities is transported to landfills for burial or incineration.
Therefore, the girls often smelled various foul odors carried by the wind.
It's annoying, but no one can stop it.
As cursed children abandoned by human society, they have no human rights whatsoever; instead, they are treated as monsters and props.
"Alright, alright everyone, let's move the stuff to the basement first. Also, don't forget my previous warning: never go near nuclear power plants or landfills."
"kindness!"
The girls nodded when they heard what the elder said.
There were reasons why the elders told them not to go near the two facilities.
First: Nuclear power plants are dangerous, and there are security personnel who will not show mercy to the cursed son.
Secondly, the landfill is not just a place to burn garbage from human life; the elders once saw the corpse of a cursed girl who had been tortured and murdered there.
The elders, who hope everyone can grow up well, will do their best to protect the students in front of them.
However, he did not forget everything that had happened before.
Five girls...
In addition, there is a sixth person who is blind.
They gained power beyond cognition.
It's not just the ability of gastrulatory viruses, but something much more special.
Based on the girls' answers, everyone said they saw the silhouette of a deity.
So!
If there truly are gods in this world, and they are willing to bestow blessings upon children—
The elders were willing to give everything they had, hoping that the deity would give them more attention.
Thinking of this, the elder suddenly stopped in his tracks.
There were two figures ahead, carrying bags, panting and looking very flustered.
Since their neighboring property was the safe basement everyone was heading to, the elder pondered how to solve the current problem.
Should we wait for the two to leave, or take the initiative to negotiate?
Unable to find an answer, the elder quickly locked eyes with one of them.
The hooded man suddenly grinned and said to his companion beside him...
"Hey, did you see that? Those are those monster kids, and the man next to them looks like he's taking care of them?"
"So what?"
"We can't get away like this, but things are different now... we have a bunch of scapegoats! Anyway, we'll have a chance to get these things later!"
After saying this, the two threw the bags they were carrying at the feet of the elders and girls.
At the same time, the duo who threw the bag immediately rolled on the ground, taking off their coats and deliberately making themselves very dirty.
The elder looked puzzled, and the girls frowned as well.
"What happened to them?"
"It could be a mental illness."
"It's mentioned in the book that he's not mentally normal."
Should we give them candy?
"What a joke."
Before the girls could reach a conclusion, they heard the roar of a car engine.
Not long after, three police cars came into view.
They all stopped at the intersection not far away.
Six police officers then arrived at the scene with guns.
"We received a report that someone stole someone else's goods!"
"And they are all dangerous weapons!"
"Even if you escape to the outer area, don't even think about getting away!"
The police surrounded the scene while they were talking.
The two people who had been carrying the bags immediately knelt on the ground.
They pretended to be terrified and shouted.
“We saw it! Those cursed children killed a man and took what was theirs!”
"The cursed child? You mean those little things over there?"
"That's right! That's right! They even threatened us! If we didn't lie, they'd kill us too!!"
The two began to fabricate lies.
The police then pointed their guns at the elders and the girls.
The girls naturally did not accept this slander and accusation.
"You're lying! This bag is yours, not ours!"
"Yes! You liar! You want to eat a thousand needles!"
"You guys just threw it over there, we had no idea."
However, the words of the cursed son were even less credible to the police.
Seeing this, the elder immediately stepped in front of the children.
"Officers, there should be surveillance cameras on the street, right? This bag doesn't belong to us. These kids have never stolen other people's money, let alone killed anyone."
"You man, how dare you protect the cursed child? Are you out of your mind? Or have you been threatened by these little things? Don't worry, we're here!"
Knowing that the cursed children possessed extraordinary powers, the police who arrived at the scene drew their automatic weapons.
The next moment, the gun was pointed back at the elder and the cursed child behind her.
Seeing this, the five girls who had previously defeated Gastrea were not afraid.
"We can start now..."
"We need to... protect everyone."
Listening to the girls' speeches, the elder looked at everyone.
