The golden light enveloped Blake briefly, then faded.
Everyone held their breath.
Finally, the light disappeared entirely. Blake collapsed, unconscious but alive.
A stunned silence filled the bus as dozens of eyes turned toward Naina... full of shock, gratitude, and disbelief.
They couldn't believe their eyes.
"Am I... am I truly seeing a talisman?" Jamie asked in a stuttering voice while everyone felt hope lighting up in their chest.
What was a talisman? It was a hope for many, a legendary piece of paper capable of single-handedly protecting them!
Ordinary people don't even have the fortune to see it in their entire lives.
Some even have talismans in their house decorated as an heirloom.
And now... they were seeing Naina use it so freely...
Though their hearts ached, at the same time, all of them lit up with hope.
Suddenly to them, Naina wasn't a human anymore... but a god. Even the panic in their heart reduced by more than half.
Naina quickly turned toward Maya.
