In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

It wasn't body odor, nor was it perfume, but simply the smell of gunpowder mixed with sweet apple pie...

"You came here after realizing this?"

"Not entirely. I did want to scare you just now... I still remember the last time your tail stood up. Dexas, show me that again? That one~"

The smiling words of the Archangel are hard to understand.

But...Texas did feel the other party's concern.

As companions of Penguin Logistics, she and Exia have spent the longest time together.

Although they don't say it, the relationship between them is indeed very close.

It was also because of this that Exia chose to come to the rescue after noticing Texas's vigilance.

Just now it seemed that Archangel was getting closer and closer to Maria, but in fact, her hand never left her weapon.

Exia also understood that the person who could make Texas look like that was definitely not a simple person...

"So... is she from that family you mentioned before?"

Angelica remembered that Texas had mentioned several times before that she was once a member of a family.

Although the family no longer exists, the debt is not really written off.

It's just that for some reason, she finally chose to come to Longmen... Although she never had any intention of hiding it, everyone in Penguin Logistics knew that something extraordinary must have happened to this girl in the past.

It's just that everyone was gentle and didn't mention this matter specifically.

but……

Maria's appearance made Exiah feel that he needed to ask something.

Before Maria appeared, even if they were besieged by three or four gangsters at the same time, this Lupo woman would not show the slightest fear.

But just now, when he was separated from Maria by a pillar, Archangel could clearly see the changes in the expression on her face.

Who is that Maria...?

An enemy? Or a friend or foe like that strange Lappland? Or something else entirely?

Exia is very curious!

But Texas, which never hides anything, refused this time for the first time.

"I can't say..."

"Eh? I just want to ask if she is a member of the family... Can't I tell you this?" The Archangel was a little disappointed, and the girl's good mood was also reflected on her face.

Her little face fell instantly.

"I don't mean to hide it, but... Angel, it's best if we don't have too much contact with that woman."

Texas covered his face, his face pale.

She hesitated, then raised her head and looked at Maria's receding back. After hesitating for a while, she turned around, walked around the Archangel, and left here resolutely.

The Archangel standing by was also a little surprised and turned around to chase after him.

"Hey, Texas, wait for me."

"Don't walk so fast~"

Chapter 24: Star Bear and Maria

"Strange woman..."

After leaving the two women, Maria recalled the feeling of contact with each other.

Maria was absolutely certain that she had never seen the other person.

But the other party seemed to know him, with a look of surprise on his face.

Did you recognize the wrong person?

Or……

"system?"

Maria whispered to her system.

"I am here……"

The system's slightly regretful voice was still weak.

Obviously, Maria's previous dislike still made her feel a little bit uncomfortable.

Woo woo woo, I am a useless system...and as a system, if I can't even help my host, then what's the point of me?

My system career... is over...

"..."

Maria fell silent after hearing the strange whispers in her head.

Is it her imagination?

I always feel like I haven't met a truly normal person since I came to this world...

"Is it caused by the beast transformation?"

After thinking about it, Maria felt that this guess was possible.

After all, up to now, she seemed to have never seen a real "human being". They were either silly puppies, crazy men, or refugees.

Although the two girls just now looked good, they were not human and their non-human features were still very obvious.

This speculation made Maria even more determined to hunt the giant beast!

"As expected... the existence of giant beasts in this world only brings abnormalities?"

Maria sighed, shook her head, and ignored the strange mutterings in her mind. She turned around and began to wait patiently.

Another moment passed, and after the staff came on stage, the crowd began to line up for inspection.

This time, the other party didn't ask about anything big, he just wanted to know what Maria was doing here.

Maria simply replied that she was here for tourism and was let in.

This also made Maria gradually realize something.

"As for those whose origins are unknown, the people in this world seem to take those 'infected' more seriously, huh?"

"So...what exactly are the infected?"

Maria pondered, and walked step by step into the real Dragon Gate...

……

After coming out of the sparsely populated intersection, there were already quite a few drivers parked outside.

They also noticed Maria, who was dressed neatly here, and after realizing that this might be a wealthy customer, they immediately came over to talk to her eagerly.

But unfortunately, knowing that she had no money, Maria refused them all.

I was just walking alone in this city.

She was thinking about a question...

"Although I want to make some money, but...I don't seem to have any skills suitable for making money in peacetime?"

Maria looked up at the sky and couldn't help frowning.

When it comes to hunting and fighting, Maria is top-notch.

But other than that, she really doesn't have any other abilities.

Cooking, carving, crafts, art, research...

Maria had no experience in many types of work.

And in such a city, it is impossible for battles to happen casually.

If that's the case, what else can she do?

Maria fell into confusion for a moment, and her thoughts began to gradually diverge.

At this time, she also walked into a bustling urban area.

Most of the people walking around here are engaged in manual labor. They wear simple and rough clothes. Even if they are dirty, they will not deliberately deal with or hide them. Instead, they will show them openly. While drinking beer, they play games that Maria cannot understand with red faces and thick necks.

In contrast, Maria's exquisite dress-like outfit is particularly eye-catching.

Many people have noticed this.

Although most people just remained curious and didn't think too much about it.

But Maria could also feel that there were still some people who harbored ill will towards her.

This made Maria frown.

She didn't want to cause trouble as soon as she arrived in this city...

As she thought about it, she turned around and quietly walked into the small path beside her.

After several men noticed this, they looked at each other tacitly and followed quietly.

Many people realized what was about to happen, but everyone just kept their heads down and did their own thing.

There is no intention to intervene.

In this chaotic outer ring of Longmen, the best way to protect yourself is to ignore everything and just do your best.

Just when they thought another tragedy was about to happen, a tall woman stood up silently.

The other party was dressed casually, his posture was relaxed, and he didn't even have his iconic weapon with him.

But even so, her 1.80-meter tall stature and distinctive horn make her far more imposing than others.

"Lao Yang, I have something to deal with first. Can I pay you next time?"

The woman with the ghost horns started talking, and the stall owner whom she called Lao Yang also took a look, smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, then be careful."

"It's just a small matter."

The woman smiled, and then, not caring about the strange looks from others, she walked straight towards the alley where Maria and the man disappeared.

……

"Tsk... is that young lady from that family here again? I feel like I've seen this happen more than once recently."

The woman with ghost horns rubbed her head.

Although a little beer didn't make her feel uncomfortable, she still felt a little tipsy.

She was just a little weird.

Have you encountered such things frequently recently?

"But... the most urgent thing now is to find those guys as soon as possible, right?"

"Those brats should have been more careful. Stealing money is fine... but if that little princess from who knows whose family got hurt, it would be a big problem."

"Really, it's just a lot of trouble."

The woman shook her head and sighed.

At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly reached her nose...

"Is this...blood?"

There was an extremely faint smell of blood in the air... Although it was very weak, Xingxiong, who had been in fighting scenes for many years, could immediately tell what it was.

This discovery also shocked her.

His footsteps also quickened.

No way?

Did those brats really take action?!

Although I don’t know who that woman is, she must be someone important to wear such nice clothes, right?

I heard that a lot of people from Ursus have come to Longmen recently... Could they be the children of wealthy Ursus businessmen?
