Nuri headed towards the Flying Bus Stop, once she reached the destination, she was to follow the rules and then enter the stop line, everything was new to her at this point, and she was both amused and scared.
From what the voice said, it was clear that she was a great threat to the people living in this city. She can't even make eye contact with someone for fear of losing control. And it was clear that people will hate her once they see her appearance which has no resemblance to theirs in any kind.
So even when waiting for the bus, she had her head lower, trying her best to not meet anyone's eyes as far as possible.
The bus stop was no different than how it used to be in her era, the only difference was that it was built in the air and was floating, but there was a science behind it, no magic so far, this city was full of science and technology.
While she was waiting for the bus to arrive, her eyes lingered on the digital poster which was hanging on the bus stop shelter walls, and even on the other side of the bus stop flag.
She slowly took a step and stood close to the digital poster. It was a child of no more than nineteen years on the screen, he was like a hybrid between lion and wolf. His eyes were golden, flowing with sacred energy even through the poster, ears like a wolf..dark black color. A tail like a lion with a golden color brush at the end of the tip, his whole body had a light golden color and had two long fangs.
Even though he looked so different from hers, even his picture was giving out that charming feeling. Among all, she felt like her heart was about to beat faster. She found him handsome.
At first, Nuri felt nothing but the more she stared at the poster, the more she felt mesmerized, what is this feeling?
Her right hand moved on its own and the next second she was caressing the picture gently. Her eyes were locked on his poster.
Who knows if it were his features which were attracting her towards him or if it was the charm working on it, but she felt an unimaginable attraction towards him as if there was something between them. Was it her thoughts again or not, she has no idea.
' Hey! Do you think I can get overworked even while looking at someone's picture? I mean, can I lose control over myself even if I don't directly meet his eyes and only see his photo? ', Nuri asked in her mind.
They were using telepathy right now, so she didn't need to talk aloud for that invisible person to be heard.
[ You can't. As long as you don't meet someone's eye directly, you will not lose control over your body. In general, it's impossible. But I can tell you one thing if you are getting attracted to someone even without looking at them in actuality, it means you are lusting after them. I hope this answers all your concerns regarding how you are staring at that boy ]
The moment he mentioned Lust, her face flushed red with embarrassment.
'H...How can that be possible, it's impossible, I have never felt this way before, I can never feel that kind of urge towards someone ', Said Nuri.
She was all worked up and that pretty much told everything.
[ You are nervous, this means I am right about you. But it's not a crime to feel the urge to touch someone, it's the basic nature of living beings. But just so you could know, get your hands off that poster. You look weird touching a criminal's face ]
Nuri got her hands off the photo the moment he said criminal and then she once again looked at the picture, but this time she focused her eyes on the text written around the picture rather than the boy himself.
' WANTED CRIMINAL of Mybara, killed five people, currently on run. If found, please contact this number 2XXXXX6X5. Santiago Ortiz? '.
She read everything in her mind. And the name Santiago Ortiz imprinted in her mind perfectly that now even if she wanted to forget him, she would not for sure. It was just a name that wasn't common and that was the reason she might remember him.
[The bus is here, let's leave]
The bus came, it was running in the air path. Nuri felt like she was in a dream but it was reality. Seeing the bus was coming, everything stood in a queue, Nuri followed their technique and stood in the queue as well.
The bus arrived, it stopped and then people started getting out from the front door one by one at a normal speed. As people walked out, the backdoor filled with people as everyone started getting in.
All of them get in and so does Nuri. The inside view was no different from any ordinary bus, but it was cold inside. As if there were ACs installed inside to let people experience the cold sensation. Or in other words, people were not tolerant of the heat.
Nuri saw an empty seat beside that person and sat down beside him. As she scanned her eyes around, she noticed that there were Cooling applications installed inside the bus.
' How much time before we leave this city? ", She asked the invisible person.
[ Two hours. It's safe in here and I don't think those people will be able to catch up to us as I have blocked all the cameras in the city, but make sure you stay alert. And...dont make eye contact with anyone. Just control yourself for two hours ]
For some reason, he was warning her again and again. She just pout and felt unfair how he kept nagging her. When her eyes fell on the man who was sleeping soundly while his face was against the window, she felt her heart beating once again.
It was the same feeling she had a while ago while looking at that criminal, Santiago Ortiz.
