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

Zuo Le, covered in blood, sighed.

"Just like before, these people also think they are the only ones who can carry out the mission, but they have no idea how to carry out the ritual."

Zuo Le has a headache.

In the past half month, they have been searching with all their might.

But the result is the same every time.

Whenever they thought they had found the other party's core, they would send someone in to check, only to discover that these people regarded themselves as the most important part of the entire ceremony.

But in fact, it is meaningless for them to capture Godan and other members of Shanhai in the entire Da Yan.

The real enemy is always hiding in the dark...so much so that Zuo Ledou is a little doubtful, are these people really here to cause trouble?

Why do they look like a mob?

"Um……"

Maria nodded slightly, appearing remarkably calm about all this.

She has infiltrated quite a few times during this period, and the results she got each time were almost the same as Zuo Le's this time.

"However...there does seem to be one person who is a little different among this group of people."

After sighing a few times, Zuo Le suddenly spoke.

After seeing Maria turning around, he also told her about the man with strange hands.

"The color and shape of his hands are strange. They don't look like the hands of a normal human..."

Zuo Le spoke, his words a little unclear.

Maria frowned, turned around and went in to check without saying anything else.

After a few strokes, she walked out holding a severed hand.

"Eh?"

Zuo Le was stunned, with a look of surprise on his face.

But Maria just looked at it for a while and then threw the arm directly to Zuo Le.

"Eh?"

Zuo Le caught it subconsciously, and then his expression became subtle again.

Although he had seen many corpses as a candle holder, he still felt a little nauseous when he suddenly grabbed a severed arm.

"Give this thing to the old Taoist priest. She should know what it is."

Maria's voice was as calm as ever, but her eyes flickered.

On this arm... she felt a very familiar feeling...

It’s like... the feeling of the first batch of hybrid warriors produced by Dayan a long time ago.

But it looks a bit rougher.

It's like a child using a detailed plan to piece together a rough model.

This plan is undoubtedly the original version of the hybrid warrior plan.

The old Taoist priest guessed correctly. Being able to get this kind of thing meant that there were indeed people from Baizao among the other party.

His status and position are probably not low!

When it comes to this aspect, the old Taoist priest may need to step in to resolve it.

Maria herself is qualified enough, but the prerequisite is that she must regain her status as the general who conquers evil spirits...

"Ah...yes..."

Although Zuo Le was stunned, he instinctively nodded to express his affirmation.

For some reason, Maria's every move was filled with a very subtle military spirit. In front of her, Zuo Le always felt like a rookie.

After hearing Zuo Le's answer, Maria did not stay long. She turned around and prepared to leave.

Zuo Le suddenly came to his senses at this time. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

“Please… please wait a moment!”

"Ok?"

Maria looked over in confusion.

Only then did Zuo Le smile helplessly.

"Um... I, I might not be able to see the old master..."

Although the Zuo family is considered a prominent family, it is obvious that compared to the old monster who has survived since the era of General Zhengsui, he, a junior, is still not qualified to meet him directly.

If he was a high-ranking official of the Zuo family, then maybe...

This was Maria's negligence.

But she only thought about it for a few moments before casually throwing her sword to the other party.

"This thing is my token. You can use it to go directly to the old Taoist priest."

Zuo Le subconsciously reached out and caught the weapon.

He thought that the weapon Maria was wearing on her waist would not be too heavy, but when he reached out to catch it, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground!

"Woo!"

Hands hanging down...

Although the long sword was as light as a feather in Maria's hand, Zuo Le's face turned red and he had to use both hands to barely lift it.

After seeing this scene, Maria sighed helplessly and shook her head slightly.

"You still need to exercise more..."

"Woo..."

Zuo Le's face flushed red, and he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

……

After leaving the scene, Maria quickly returned to Yharnam.

The puppet has been waiting here for a long time.

"hunter……"

"Ah."

Maria nodded, her expression softening slightly.

"You look a little tired...are you okay?"

The puppet stepped forward and gently adjusted Maria's collar.

I don't know if it's Maria's imagination, but the doll seems a little bolder since the last time...

Although she still restrains herself from time to time.

"Um……"

Maria shook her head slightly.

But the doll could see that Maria was just hiding her weakness.

Last time, for Logos, Maria took the initiative to find Godan who was still in hiding, raised herself to the level of a superior, and then suppressed herself again.

It is impossible that nothing was paid in this process.

Her body had become frail to an alarming degree.

And this fragility did not heal with the passage of time. On the contrary, her body seemed to be damaged in some way, and her life was constantly slipping away.

In order to repair this wound, Maria needs to fall into a deep sleep for a period of time.

But... Maria didn't want to fall asleep yet.

"Are the results out?"

What Maria was asking about was, of course, the previous experiment of traveling through time to determine how many times she could travel through time at most.

"It's already out."

The puppet sighed inaudibly, then nodded slightly.

"According to your physical condition, we can make a maximum of three consecutive crossings... According to your plan, after Godan is pulled into the ground, his body will be divided into five parts. Your original plan may..."

The puppet's words were as calm as ever, but the meaning they conveyed made Maria frown.

According to the ritual plan, Godan's body will be divided into at least five parts after it descends.

And according to the meaning of the puppet.

She can handle a maximum of three...

"Do not……"

Maria lowered her head, frowning slightly. "In the ideal scenario, in our current era, there will be a moment of lunar conjunction... In that case, combined with three time travels, I can handle at least four aspects..."

"But there's one aspect missing, isn't there?"

The doll knew what Maria meant, but she just sighed.

Maria just likes to show off her strength and always thinks that she can bear everything by herself.

But the fact is, Maria is unwilling to abandon her human body, so she is still unable to fight against Godan.

And the most appropriate method is what they mentioned before.

The idea of ​​a faux hunter.

"The appearance of the Deep Sea Hunter proves that you have made your decision... isn't it?"

The puppet spoke slowly, soothing Maria in a calm tone.

Maria also lowered her eyes slightly.

"I'll go...think about it for a while."

Maria did not answer directly, but gave a roundabout answer.

The puppet did not continue to dwell on this issue, but just took a step back.

"The bath on the second floor is ready for you..."

"Um……"

……

"Did she ask you to give it to me?"

On the other side, in the Baizao conference room.

The old Taoist priest looked at the blade and arm placed on the table and also raised his head.

Just at the door, Zuo Le's face flushed and his chest heaved.

On both sides, the Sui family members are also here.

They were originally in a meeting, considering how to uncover the enemies within Baizao.

Then... Zuo Le came over with Maria's token.

Maria obviously underestimated the weight of this weapon and overestimated the strength of the Terrans...

After being sent all the way back to the conference room from the suburbs, Zuo Le felt as if he had been forced to do extra training... He almost fainted from exhaustion several times!

"Yes, it is."

Zuo Le spoke, his words coming out in between breaths.

The old Taoist priest also lowered his head, carefully observed his arm, then reached out and cut a small wound on his hand.

She watched the blood flow out and dripped it onto her arm.

Then...

"Gulu~"
