Chapter 129: The inhuman enemy was completely annihilated, and Mary stood in a pool of blood...
The enemy was completely annihilated. Mary stood outside the pool of blood and felt that her ability had declined slightly.
In the past, when she fought with ordinary people, her face would not be stained with blood.
A warm tongue licked her bloody cheek. Mary tilted her head and saw the wolf cub's furry head. Its eyes were a beautiful lake blue, sparkling.
Seeing that Mary's mood had improved, Diego knew that he had done nothing wrong, and put the little wolf in Mary's arms.
The wolf cub's body was very hot, like a small stove. It curled itself into a soft, round ball and nestled in Mary's arms, tilting its head back and licking Mary's chin furiously.
It seems that this little guy is hungry and is begging for food.
Seeing Johnny's stinky face, Jero said in disbelief, "Are you crazy? You're even jealous of animals. Are you still human?"
"None of your business." Johnny glared at Jello, then resignedly pulled out some chewy beef jerky from his backpack and waved it in the wolf's direction. "Little guy, if you're hungry, come and eat quickly. It'll be gone if you're late."
Although it was just a small animal, the little wolf seemed to understand Johnny's words completely. It whimpered a few times, jumped out of Mary's arms, and ran towards Johnny with its short legs.
Seeing its persistence, everyone's brows relaxed and the previous sense of urgency disappeared.
Unfortunately, the little wolf was too impatient and didn't notice the thickness of the ice. He stepped on a cracked area. With a loud bang, the little wolf fell straight into the icy lake.
Johnny, who was closest to the wolf cub, rushed down quickly and tried to pull the wolf cub's struggling hind legs, but unexpectedly he lifted up a skeleton.
"Oh my god?!" Johnny was so frightened that he almost fainted. How did he pull out the little wolf's bones? But when he looked closely, he found that they were actually important parts of the saint's body!
Without time to rejoice, Johnny casually tossed the body to Mary and quickly carried the little thing out. The wolf cub was soaked in water and shivering with cold. He crawled directly into Johnny's arms, crying out in grievance.
It was freezing and snowy, and there was no way to make a fire. Johnny had to wipe the little wolf with his handkerchief, then took out another piece of his clothes and wrapped the poor little thing.
After he put the little wolf to rest, he found that Mary was still holding the body in an awkward manner. He couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Mary, what are you doing...?"
What they got this time was the remains of a leg, which was much larger than an ear, so it was impossible to put it in the bag.
“I’m wondering how to put this thing…”
Johnny was even more puzzled: "How do I put it?"
Diego looked at Mary's face, his handsome brows slightly furrowed. "Mary, do you have any concerns? Why not keep the remains inside? This is obviously the safest way."
Although he was willing to stay with Mary, he never forgot his original intention, which was to become the champion of the game. The battle had already wasted time, and he didn't want to waste time on trivial matters.
After hearing what happened next, everyone except Manden who had received the body fell silent.
"Put it in? How do I put it in there?" Mary put the body against her legs, but the body remained motionless, like an ordinary mummy, making the whole scene even more eerie.
Mary couldn't accept the saint's remains?
How is that possible?
Could it be that... she's not a Stand user at all?!
Jello and Diego looked at Mary in surprise, but Johnny behaved out of character.
He took the body naturally, and said in a very natural tone: "Then Mary, leave it to me for safekeeping."
As he spoke, the remains merged into Johnny's body. Johnny's expression was gentle and natural, impeccable. But Jero had a feeling that Johnny must have been certain of something, which was why he was so calm.
What on earth did he think of? What on earth did he figure out?
Although Jero wanted to ask, now was not the right time. Many riders had already caught up from behind, and their advantage had shrunk.
There was no time to dwell on such a trivial matter. Zero drove Valkyrie to the front. With such a formidable opponent present, Diego and the others dared not be distracted and gave their best efforts.
Johnny was a little slow because he couldn't stop himself from recalling those words.
…
"Wow... Are you sure you didn't use the wrong word?" Johnny didn't know if it was because the desert was too cold, his teeth even began to chatter slightly.
The Keyin's words shattered his last illusions. "I'm not wrong. I dug Mary out." He pointed at the demon's palm and said, "Our tribe calls this place a forbidden area, but I'm naturally curious, so I came here on my own."
Johnny felt that the musician's narration was a bit lengthy. He just wanted to hear about Mary, but of course he didn't show it and looked patient.
"I never expected that after coming here, I would gain such magical abilities. After making sure that I was conscious and that the abilities wouldn't backfire on me, I brought my sister with me, and she also luckily became a Stand user.
This incident makes me ecstatic, and I feel that our tribe has the ability to protect itself. Unfortunately, there are many stubborn people in my tribe. If they knew that I came here secretly, they would definitely scalp me.
The sound man glanced into the distance and found that no one was paying attention to them before he continued, "So I wondered why this desert had such magical power, and whether there was something causing trouble. So one night, I quietly dug.
I used my Stand's abilities to dig down layer by layer, until I had dug a hole nearly ten meters deep. Just as I was about to stop, I saw blood.
The voice of the musician grew deeper, but his speech became faster and faster: "Why is blood oozing out from underneath this?" I hesitated for a moment, but still went to dig at the bleeding spot. Just like that, Mary was found by me little by little from the dark place.
Perhaps you can't understand what I felt at the time, but I was horrified, even terrified. I simply couldn't understand why a white woman was buried in Indian soil. Furthermore, her breathing was steady, as if she were in a dream.
Because the whites and Indians were already at loggerheads by that time, I learned a lot about white people and discovered that the woman's clothing didn't belong to this era. A woman wearing clothes from a century ago, opening her eyes in front of you...it was like a corpse coming back to life.
I'm so sorry... The moment she opened her eyes, I stabbed her in the heart. She stared at me silently, her eyes empty, completely hollow. I even wondered if she had a soul. I couldn't help but let go of the knife, and then I watched her wound heal with visible speed.
Johnny, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up: "What is your purpose in saying this?"
Under the night sky, the blond man slumped on the ground stared at the lucky guy in front of him with his blue pupils: "Why are you telling me all this, and why should I believe your nonsense?"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you should know better than me." Yin Ren dismissed the question lightly, "I don't think you're so clueless as to not notice anything."
After hearing this, Johnny smiled bitterly.
How could he not notice that Mary was different from ordinary people?
Mary didn't know hot or cold, nor did she understand hunger or fullness. She ate three meals a day out of imitation.
Mary always took whatever was put before her, no matter how much or how little.
After knowing each other for a few years, Johnny discovered that her hair hadn't grown an inch longer, not to mention her nails. At first, he thought Mary had trimmed her hair while he was away, but when he cleaned up later, he found only golden hair on the floor.
When he saw these things, he never dared to think too deeply, because if he thought too much, he would feel an uncontrollable sadness in his heart.
And now, Yinren told him everything directly and without any hesitation, letting him know that Mary was not human.
"The reason I tell you this is because you are special in Mary's heart."
The sound man's crisp and clear words made Johnny a little stunned. He had just thought that the sound man wanted him to give up and then he could get a piece of the pie.
Compared to Johnny, Yinren's situation was still less secure. His tribe was weak, and everyone struggled to integrate into society, let alone establish themselves. But with Mary's protection, Yinren could at least be guaranteed a life of ease and peace. Now it seemed... he had misunderstood.
"I'm telling you this because I hope you can make up your mind. Choose to stay with Mary or say goodbye. I've already told you that Mary isn't a normal person. She might have a lifespan beyond our imagination."
Yin Ren took out the extremely sharp knife from his waist and pointed it at Johnny's nose. "If you stay with Mary, and Mary's appearance remains unchanged over time, then you will most likely have to move and start a new life with Mary. But you have to be aware that you might go from being a lover to being regarded as Mary's father, or even grandfather. Are you willing to do that?"
Johnny bit his lower lip and said nothing.
The man's words were sharper than his sword. If he hadn't been wearing primitive clothing, he would have suspected he was a well-educated white man.
"If you feel you can't do it, then stop immediately and let Mary withdraw from your relationship in time. If you can do it, please do it to the end." Yinren retracted his knife, and a quiet sadness appeared in his emerald eyes.
Johnny thought that the sound man would threaten him, and he must treat Mary well and not let her down, but he was wrong again.
The musician lowered his head and said softly, "Please, Mary has suffered too much. Don't give her something sweet and then make her suffer again."
At that time, Johnny didn't understand the humbleness of the music man, but now he understands that the music man can't even guarantee his own future, let alone protect Mary.
He wanted to gain Johnny's oath with simple words.
He thought that by doing this, he could get a better future for Mary.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to do more, but with his own life in jeopardy, he can only do so much.
Johnny, however, couldn't give a direct answer at that moment. He looked palely at Jeroboam, who had greeted him, and wondered silently in his heart, "Can this guy do it?" Or, in other words, could anyone among Mary's admirers truly accept that, when they were gray-haired and hunched over, they could still boldly hold Mary, who looked as beautiful as ever, and close their eyes peacefully?
Johnny didn't know it at the time, but now he has great hope.
He hoped to gather the remains of the saint, which would surely bring about miracles, and make a wish before them. If he could obtain the same lifespan as Mary, he would never hesitate or show mercy again. He would defeat his all-too-hated rival and be with Mary openly and forever.
