Capítulo 199: Ma-IX Corner Bus Stop (1)

After Kristelle's laughter tone down, Joey found himself lost in his own thoughts. The two of them settled in awkward silence as they sat in uncomfortable atmosphere around them.

"Location?" the elder man who was the conductor of the bus took a stop at their side to ask for their destination. He was holding a ticketing device on his hand and he looked at them in the eye. He waited for them to respond.

"Ma-IX Corner," Kristelle answered.

Hearing this location, Joey instantly trembled but he quickly pretended to be busy looking outside the bus. He secretly took an earphone from his bag and plug it on his ear. 

The conductor also took a step back and examined the girl's face to see if she was serious.

"Pardon?" he asked to confirm her location.

The Ma-IX Corner was not a place that any civilian would make a stop. Even buses in their district would refuse to drop a passenger in this location despite having a bus stop.
