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

Maria, however, did not say anything more in the face of the other party's strange chatter. She just lowered her eyes and continued speaking.

"I was there when Kal'tsit woke you up... She seemed very surprised to see you?"

Maria calmly tested the other party's attitude.

"Aren't you the one she's looking for?"

"correct."

The woman didn't notice Maria's abnormality. She just squinted her eyes, leaned on the sofa beside her, and her tone became softer.

"She didn't actually want to awaken me, but one of my... a companion."

The woman spoke with a hint of helplessness and regret, and there was a strange pause in the middle, as if there was something unusual about calling her "companion".

But in the end, she still didn't say anything, but continued to speak.

"There are some differences in personality between me and my companion... At least, if it weren't for her, the name Kal'tsit probably wouldn't exist."

"..."

Maria paused for a moment, "You mean, Kal'tsit wasn't called this before?"

"...You know very little indeed, my fellow man."

The woman slightly opened her gray eyes, revealing a bit of brilliance.

She looked at Maria, as if puzzled, as if examining her, but in the end, she smiled to herself.

"But before we entered hibernation, we had already lost contact with the outside world for several years. Perhaps in the outside world, our mission had already been deemed a failure."

“But now it seems that there is indeed such a trend.”

After saying that, she closed her eyes again, like a sick beauty, leaned on the sofa beside her, and continued speaking.

"The long time has made her quite wise, but she still has a ridiculous idea about us..."

"Of course, her idea can't be said to be wrong. At least, if it were her, she might really be convinced."

The woman's voice became softer and softer, and her tone became slower and slower, until finally, it was completely silent.

When Maria looked back, she found that the other person had fallen asleep.

Although she has adjusted her body in the past few days, it is obvious that the damage to her body caused by the long sleep cannot be recovered in a day or two.

It will take her a long time to truly recover...

Maria turned her head and continued to watch the retreating group of refugees without saying a word...

……

A few months passed quickly.

During this period, Maria and the woman spent most of their time walking on the road... Thanks to Theresa's several reforms, Kazdel now has a public passage.

Although it is still not developed, it can be connected between major cities.

Occasionally, we would encounter roaming bandits.

But in Maria's hands, they didn't even have the chance to resist and disappeared silently from this world.

During this time, the two of them climbed over mountains, looked across rivers, and observed the lives of the people of Kazdel in this era.

Unlike what Maria thought, women are not as heartless as she said. Occasionally, when she has the strength, she will find ways to help ordinary people.

This changed Maria's opinion a little.

But it's just a simple change.

As time passed, the food supply in their convoy was also decreasing day by day.

Although Maria can fully rely on her ability to hunt to meet the food needs of two people.

But the woman felt that was enough.

She has seen a corner of this world.

She spoke in a calm tone, as if she had expected this.

Maria thought for a while and then began to plan her return trip without saying anything more.

It is also on days like this that night falls...

Maria, who was originally parked in the car, suddenly opened her eyes. Her gray eyes emitted an unsettling luster in the dark night, but after just a moment, Maria slowly retracted them.

She just heard the puppet's voice.

Although it was only for a moment, and although it was very weak, it was interrupted directly as if it was strongly interfered with by something.

But Maria still knew that this was a reminder from the doll.

If nothing unexpected happens, she won't have much time left here.

After a few moments of silence, Maria hesitated for a moment and then sighed softly.

Standing up and looking at the empty sofa opposite, Maria slowly got out of the car.

And by the bonfire outside, the woman was outlining her body, sitting quietly on the ground, watching the flames flicker.

After noticing Maria's arrival, she smiled.

"You can't sleep either?"

"Ah."

Maria nodded and sat down across from the woman.

After spending some time together, the relationship between the two has obviously improved a lot.

But obviously, compared to their friends whose lives are at stake, the relationship between the two of them is neither good nor bad.

Maria sat opposite her, slowly put the long knife aside, and fanned the bonfire.

The woman watched all this quietly.

The night always makes people confused about the passage of time.

After a long while, the woman raised her head and sighed softly.

"To be honest, I used to say that I was the one who kept her company, but now it seems that she was the one who kept me company... I'm a little homesick."

Maria didn't say anything, just looked at the woman silently.

The woman didn't keep the secret any longer, but sighed softly.

"At first I thought you were a survivor from another project... but then I realized you seemed to have no idea what happened back then."

"Later, I suspected that you were a fake person specially created by Kal'tsit, in order to deceive my trust, find out her location, and then find her... But you didn't do such a thing."

"To be honest, I'm a little confused... Who are you?"

The woman turned her head and looked at Maria through the flickering flames, her expression calm.

Maria was not in a hurry and just spoke slowly.

"Is this important?"

"...It really doesn't matter. It's already this late. It really doesn't matter anymore."

The woman smiled and took out a slightly yellowed piece of paper from her pocket. She was wearing a brown sweater and handed it to Maria.

The papers were folded together, as if there was some important information hidden inside.

"I've seen Kal'tsit's calculations. She's very smart... but she doesn't know that she and I swapped positions in the life support chamber at the last minute... If I'm not mistaken, this should be her location."

The woman said this and slowly stood up as if she had already made a decision.

Maria, however, held the note in her hand, frowning slightly.

"You don't plan to go back?"

If the woman wanted to reveal the location of her companion, she could have told Kal'tsit herself. The reason she had to ask Maria to pass it on...

It was obvious that she had no intention of going back.

"Even if I go back, she'll just keep me under house arrest, right?"

The woman smiled without any concealment.

Her relationship with Kal'tsit is not bad, but it is definitely not close.

And it is these women who have almost irreconcilable conflicts of ideas.

After another pause, she turned her head and looked at the beautiful starry sky.

Above the sky, the two moons have different movement trajectories, one is faster, the other is slower, one rotates counterclockwise, the other rotates right... To be honest, this is a very strange sight, but to two people who know the inside story, it seems extremely normal.

Of course, they don't rotate that fast, and the speed at which they wax and wane varies.

The woman watched all this, squinting her eyes silently.

"Although you don't know what happened back then, you should already know about Godan, right?"

"Do you also call it Godan?"

Maria blinked, but the woman smiled.

"There are always people in history who push everything to overlap..."

After saying that, she continued to look at the sky.

The bright stars flicker, bringing with them a dazzling sense of coolness.

The mysterious starry sky and the moody ocean have always been the favorite worlds of artists. In their eyes, there seems to be endless beauty waiting for them to explore.

Of course, Maria didn't like this.

She doesn't have much affection for the deep sea or the starry sky.

The woman continued speaking without caring.

"It's easy now that you know..."

"How do you think we can survive... facing those things?"

The woman's words were soft and vague, like smoke, which was disturbing.

The air around them seemed to pause for a few seconds because of this question.

The moon gradually grew brighter, and the beasts of burden around them shifted their kneeling feet restlessly.

The wind blew, and the dark green grass, like steel needles, swayed slightly.

Maria did not give her own answer... because she did not dare to make any guarantees about what she would do next.

She could only promise that she would bet everything she had.

The woman asked this question not because she really wanted to get an answer from Maria.

She just laughed softly in silence.

"The only way for us to survive is to let it pass us by, to ignore us... Only then will we have a chance to survive."

"Do you think this is okay?"

Lowering her head, she looked back at Maria.

Maria also remained silent and shook her head slightly.

"I can't judge whether something of this magnitude is right or wrong, but in my opinion, for the continuation of civilization, as long as we don't deviate from our original intention, then everything is fine."

"Yeah...as long as you don't stray from your original intention."

The woman half closed her eyes.

"But... Kal'tsit gave up all of this..."

As the woman spoke, her eyes grew colder.

It was as if her gentleness all along was just a pretense, and at this moment, she was her true self...

But this kind of coldness only lasted for a moment, and then it returned to normal. The woman squinted her eyes and smiled again, her tone calm.

"I can understand why she did that, but I don't agree with her doing it."

"She hopes that I can help this civilization to rise again and lead it forward..."

The woman spoke slowly and calmly.
