Chapter 97: New Friend (1)
The sunshine was bright, shining upon the girl in her pajamas, yet she felt no warmth at all.
Maryse appeared calm as she walked down the street barefoot.
Many passersby were staring at her with strange expressions.
Without having combed her hair or washed her face, wearing only her pajamas, with bare white feet, she wandered the streets like a lost soul.
Maryse’s irritation grew stronger as people’s gazes multiplied.
She had no idea when her walk would end, but the urge to return to her small sanctuary became increasingly powerful.
But haven’t I played enough yet?
This thought flashed through Maryse’s mind, and she halted momentarily, wondering what she had been doing all this time.
Eating, sleeping, playing, and repeating daily…
Very happy.
Is this the freedom and life I yearned for?
Even though there were people waiting for her and pursuing her, what was she truly accomplishing?
A dark silhouette suddenly darted across her field of vision.
Maryse paused briefly, unable to see clearly.
At that moment, two fashionably dressed young women approached; one of them crouched down with a smile and looked at her.
“Little sister, what’s wrong with you? Why are you walking on the street in your pajamas?”
[The short video for today has been recorded. Does this little girl have an issue? Why isn’t she speaking?]
[Let’s film this, it should attract lots of attention.]
[How should I phrase this to get the most gifts…]
Get lost!
Confronted by the two women blocking her path, Maryse’s mind instantly filled with malice. Even if she could speak, she refused to say anything.
The inner thoughts of these two girls reminded her of… her father.
Soon, her mental powers activated.
Maryse’s eyes gradually shifted to silver-white, controlling the two girls and compelling them to turn around and leave.
Heh, I thought they would receive some excitement. Weren’t they seeking more attention?
She considered this as she headed to the nearby cinema.
Whenever staff or patrons noticed Maryse, their eyes would briefly glaze over before they continued their routines, seemingly oblivious.
Thus, she quietly entered the projection hall, and after repeatedly using her psychic abilities to probe people’s thoughts, she observed the film playing on the screen.
Maryse felt slightly dazed.
She had watched this movie before with her mother.
That was twenty-one years ago… It had been such a long, long time since then…
That family contained countless traces of her existence, and she shouldn’t have been the one to leave.
She stared at the large screen, trying to recapture past emotions, when she noticed something unusual.
What is that?
Within the large screen stood a hazy smoke figure. It was composed entirely of black smoke particles, resembling the silhouette of a modern detective wearing a hat.
Was that the shadow from earlier?
Maryse fell into contemplation. If she wanted to complete the task quickly, she needed to force it out immediately.
“The target is that one! How about setting fire to it?”
She startled slightly—how had she spoken? Wait, her body, which should have been completely controlled, had suddenly experienced a moment of freedom?
Maryse was elated!
Then, she worried briefly that the Savior might have perished, although he had always manipulated the fragile body of the poor little girl like a maniac, he had ultimately given her much and helped her escape danger.
Maryse grew anxious, knowing that those who were kind to her were in peril; she felt frightened and nervous.
I haven’t repaid the favor I owe you yet!
Take care and stay out of trouble!
However, she soon realized her body remained under his control.
Oh, that’s all right then. You’d better hurry up and get into trouble…
Maryse quickly grasped the situation—she could now speak, and that was all.
“Ah, is the mouth unsealed?”
Maryse extended her pink tongue and wiggled it rapidly, understanding inwardly.
“Hmm, the tongue can move now, so might other parts be freed too? Oh Savior, please help me! Pretty please!”
“By the way, wasn’t my suggestion just now rather good? Why not try setting a fire? Hello, hello, can you hear me speaking, oh dear Savior?”
Then, Maryse discovered her body had actually moved.
She exerted her Psychic Domination over a man, who retrieved a lighter and approached slowly.
The Savior had actually followed her suggestion!
Hooray!
However, igniting the big screen with a lighter seemed rather challenging, but Maryse paid no attention to that and continued speaking.
“I have several things to say. Could you please warn me next time before manipulating me? I willingly accept your control now, but I still have my dignity!”
“What if I had been showering or forgotten to put on pants? Walking around like that would be social suicide, wouldn’t it? Oh, it seems the Thought Filter can block it out, like wearing a mask or something.”
“But that’s still terrifying. Hey, did you even hear what I was saying?”
Maryse fell silent, knowing her words were futile. How frustrating!
The lighter was combined with some combustible materials and aimed once more at the big screen, and finally the flames erupted.
The people in the theater were shocked to witness this scene, all frozen in place.
“What is that person doing?”
“I don’t know.”
“What’s happening? He’s burning the screen!”
The blaze steadily intensified, smoke billowing outward. People quickly fled while the staff who attempted to extinguish the fire were all driven away by Maryse’s psychic power.
