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

"This is a swimming pool made by the doll based on my height. Your height...is not quite suitable for this pool. Do you want to go to a shallower area?"

Maria asked, also looking to the side.

There is actually not only one large bathtub on the entire second floor. In fact, the doll took into account that Maria might invite other people to rest here in the future, so they specially created various different pools to facilitate people of different heights to rest.

And at this moment, this is the water area that is suitable for Maria's height.

"Need not!"

Xi knew that she had just embarrassed herself again, and she was a little unwilling to give up. Being stubborn, she was not willing to admit defeat, but she did not dare to continue moving in the pool. Instead, she sat on the flat ground beside her.

Maria did not continue speaking, but remained silent for a few moments, allowing Xi to think carefully about what she had just said.

Xi himself is not a stubborn guy who is particularly willing to listen to others, but Maria's words are different.

Maria is the only friend that he has had in this world for so many years and her importance is undeniable.

And this weight still carries a lot of weight even in today's Suijia era.

Even someone as tough as Xi would bow to Maria.

After a moment's silence, Xi's slightly trembling voice rang out again.

"So... in your eyes, I'm just a person imitating someone who is 20 years old?"

"..."

Maria turned her head and looked at Xi beside her.

At this moment, the little girl was obviously in a state of doubt about her self-identity. Her pupils gradually lost the ability to focus, and her body became more and more stiff and hunched.

Apparently, she gradually realized that Maria was serious.

A large part of her personality comes directly from her age!

She didn't find herself like her brothers and sisters.

At this moment, she can still only be called the clone of the year-old!

Maria also noticed this, paused, and turned her head back.

"At least, it's not on my side..."

Maria's words were not consolation, she meant them as such.

Just like a puppet... From the moment she was born, she was defined as an imitation of Maria, but even now, Maria never thought that she was just a puppet.

"I hope I can enlighten you, but I don't think it's necessary... All issues of self-identity can only be resolved by yourself."

"She should understand this too... So, the message she wants me to convey to you isn't about differentiating between her feelings and yours, nor is it about allowing you to find yourself directly... She probably hopes you can calmly accept yourself as someone who has been influenced by external forces..."

"You are a life born from a body of a year old. Your very existence is filled with unusualness. From the day you were born, you have already carried the mark of someone else... This is something that cannot be denied."

"It's impossible to simply accept or resist it... I know you've definitely thought much more about this issue than I have. You can definitely do better in this regard..."

Maria comforted Xi softly.

But Xi didn't think so.

"I can not do it."

Xi opened her mouth, lowered her head, and silently looked at her reflection in the pool.

It's exquisite and small, yet it reveals in every way that it doesn't look like someone who lives in this world should...

Perfect, yet a little too fake.

Perhaps... from the beginning to the end, she never had her own consciousness.

She just thought she had self-awareness and followed what was stuffed into her.

In fact, she has always been a puppet being controlled...

"..."

Maria did not force the girl, but reached out and gently rubbed her ears.

Let those slightly empty eyes look into yours.

"You just lack a little bit of self-awareness."

Maria whispered, her voice very soft.

"Right...according to?"

Xi murmured.

“Humans are creatures that need comparison… We compare ourselves to the world to determine our place… If we can understand others, we can understand ourselves; if we can understand the distant, we can understand the near. Comparative cognition always comes in pairs.”

Maria said.

She may not be a genius or a wise person.

But Maria still has a lot to say about self-identity.

"I was once confused, confused about who I was and what I wanted to do."

"But later, when I came to my senses, I realized that I didn't need to think about this problem."

“Just do it, and then wait for the results…”

"The world runs on its own. As long as you do something, there will inevitably be feedback."

“If you like something and don’t feel anything about it, then keep doing it. If you don’t like something and feel disgusted by it, then don’t do it.”

"Then, through these different things, the concept of 'I' will eventually take shape..."

Maria spoke slowly, looking at the girl in front of her.

Reaching out, he gently stroked the side of the other person's face.

“Don’t be in a hurry to question yourself what you are.”

“Thinking is important, but... taking action is even more important..."

……

Maria was not sure whether Xi had listened to her words. In fact, as she had said before, the concept of self was something rare in this world and could not be taught.

Everyone can only rely on his own life to find a shape that suits him in this world where everything is squeezed against each other.

The only thing she could be sure of was that when she came to her senses again, she would be much more sober.

At least, I will be more sober than now.

Maria let out a soft breath.

On the side, the puppet slowly arrived.

"hunter……"

"Ok?"

"They are coming..."

Chapter 387: Take it off!

"Wuhu~"

Inside Yharnam, the high-speed express train is moving forward in an amazing way.

Although the new Yanan that had just arrived had undergone many transformations and had become quite suitable for human life, the ruins and debris left on the ground from who knows when still blocked the way.

But even in such chaos, the black armored vehicle was rushing towards the core of Yharnam at an astonishing speed.

The maid who was cleaning nearby was so frightened when she saw this scene that she squatted behind the flower bed with her head in her hands!

Just as the armored vehicle was about to collide with the flower garden, the red-haired Sakota man in the cab suddenly slammed on the brakes.

The steering wheel jerk.

The whole car began to spin rapidly in a gyroscope-like posture!

The car's tires rubbed against the ground, leaving a long, black, rubbery arc. Then, it tilted sideways at a large angle, and finally crashed into the ground narrowly!

"Bangdang..."

Everyone in the car trembled.

"Eh?"

In the garden, Xiao Baohan, who was hiding behind the flower bed, raised her head cautiously. While she was still marveling at the fact that she was still alive, she looked at the armored vehicle in front of her in surprise.

She couldn't figure out who on earth dared to come here at such a speed?

Doesn't she know whose home this is?!

"Wuhu~"

Soon, the armored vehicle was opened.

The red-haired Sakota man got out of the car with a smile and stretched happily.

He seemed very satisfied with his thrilling move just now.

On the passenger seat, black-haired Rupert also got out of the armored vehicle. She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and took out a box of chocolate cookie bars from her pocket with a slight trembling.

But after seeing that almost all the biscuit sticks inside were broken, she pulled out a broken one and stuffed it into her mouth with a bit of helplessness.

"I think, Exia, it would be better if I could drive next time."

Texas said, his brow trembling uncontrollably.

Obviously, she wasn't in as good a condition as she appeared to be.

But the girl next to him was smiling.

"Hey, it's just a small matter... Oh, we meet again."

The Archangel waved to the little one hiding behind the flower bed.

Xiao Baohan responded subconsciously a few times, then his face was full of question marks again.

"You...why are you here?"

In her memory, these two people didn't come here very often.

Most of the time, they honestly shoulder their express delivery responsibilities... slowly delivering a box of envelopes to the outside world, finding the local Penguin Logistics to distribute them, and then bringing back a bunch of food for delivery.

There are only a few opportunities to come here.

Most of the time, it was to pick up and drop off Keobe.

Why are they here today?

"It's just to send someone here."

The Archangel smiled and then waved behind him.

"She's in here."

"Ok?"

Xiao Baohan followed the gaze of the Archangel.

Soon, a strange group of three women and one man appeared in front of her.

Except for the man, the rest of them all had white hair and red eyes... The cloak-like attire and the unique hat that each of them had made Xiao Baohan subconsciously think of that woman.

and……

Looking closely, these people more or less have some of her characteristics...

what happened?

Did that woman have so many descendants?

"Thanks for your help, the trip was very smooth and I am very satisfied with it."

The tall woman spoke slowly in a cold tone not much different from Maria's, and her words made Xiao Baohan look surprised.

She turned her head and looked at the road where the Angel had just come from.

The traces of friction between the black rubber and the ground still silently describe the wild driving skills of the Angel.
