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

"Although I don't know your origins or your abilities, I did see you walking in the deep sea... and I've also checked your person recently, and you're not carrying any technological gadgets... You're completely using your body to withstand the water pressure!"

Helatia's voice was very soft, and her words were placed close to Maria's ear, so that only the two of them could hear each other.

"I believe you have no ill intentions. You're hiding something simply because it's inconvenient to explain. I understand... but at the same time, I hope you can trust my good intentions."

"I'm curious about you... pure curiosity, not the kind of curiosity that Maritus wants to dissect you."

"I'm willing to trust your judgment, but I can't use that as a reason to stop our operations... You should have sensed some kind of danger here. I don't know how dangerous something is that would make you tell me not to approach it, but I do know that if something unexpected really happened, our operations would suffer heavy losses."

"By then, the plan to return to Agor will also be delayed..."

Helatia revealed her sharpness at this moment.

From the very beginning, she had realized Maria's specialness.

It was simply because of various reasons that she didn't say it.

At this time, Maria actually took the initiative to say that this place was dangerous. Considering that Maria's origin was already very mysterious, Helatia was willing to believe her this time.

"Perhaps, for your own sake, and for mine, you could help us a little this time?"

"Just think of it as... a free ticket to ride this ship?"

After saying this, Helatia stepped back and faced Maria with a smile.

During this period of time, she has gradually understood Maria's personality.

Maria wasn't someone who was particularly difficult to approach, but equally, she wasn't someone who could be easily bossed around.

She has a strong sense of independence and will never blindly follow someone's orders.

What really motivates her is her slightly soft emotions and appropriate interests.

And this is what Helatia is doing at this moment.

After a few pauses, Maria nodded slightly.

"Okay... but I won't do too much. Moreover, if necessary, I will take action and even become a real enemy of you."

Maria said this, and her words were also a warning to Helatia.

She will really do it!

"I'm sure you'll be able to do that."

Helatia smiled, but her face still had that unfathomable expression.

……

The efficiency of the Agor people is indeed very high.

In less than ten minutes, several sets of deep-sea action suits were arranged.

Maria herself didn't actually need protective clothing, but Helatia insisted that Maria must wear it.

This bulky suit, which looks like an oversized space suit, is not only a tool for resisting water pressure and providing the necessary conditions for survival, but also a comprehensive suit that integrates exploration systems, life support systems and combat systems.

Of course, although these things actually have almost zero significance for Maria's enhancement.

But since the other party asked for it, Maria just chose to accept it silently.

As several people finished dressing, they were soon connected to life-support tubes and slowly moved towards the ground...

After about twenty minutes of diving and adjusting their positions, the few people quickly arrived at the center of the entire deep-sea ruins.

And here, a strange, seemingly simplified pyramid building with the top removed is located.

The cold white iron door leaned there quietly, as if it had not been opened for a long time.

There was a lot of mud and dust on it.

Maritus beside him was fascinated by the pattern on it that was full of rational beauty, and a bit of illness appeared on his face.

The blue-haired woman next to her curled her lips in boredom, then took out the equipment she was carrying and carefully prepared to open it.

Although it is a pre-civilization, it is fortunate that today's Agor civilization is of the same lineage as the pre-civilization... The underlying codes of many things are not much different.

It shouldn't take much time to crack this door.

But unfortunately, the blue-haired woman didn't do much, but Maritus next to her decisively stopped her.

"What are you doing?!"

Maritus's slightly angry voice came through the communication machine with some distortion.

This instead caused the woman to be puzzled.

"Am I opening the door?"

"Open the door now?!"

"Then... when else?"

The woman was a little confused.

But Maritus just snorted coldly.

"You techies just don't use your brains... We're still not sure if the main structure is sealed. With the technological level of previous civilizations, creating a sealed environment wouldn't be difficult. If you rashly open it, what if seawater floods in and destroys the precious data?"

"So what do you think we should do?"

Women are not unreasonable people.

After listening to Maritus' explanation for a while, she had to admit that the other party's considerations were indeed more thoughtful.

The destruction of the previous civilization was too mysterious for them. The only thing they knew was that the previous civilization had a more advanced civilization system than their current one.

Therefore, what the man said, that this building might still be sealed after tens of thousands of years, is indeed credible to a certain extent.

but……

No matter how you look at this relic, this is the only place that is the most valuable, right?

If this door is not opened, where else can they look for research and treatment?

"Go find..."

Although Maritus is somewhat obsessed with research, it is obvious that he is not a completely brainless madman... His madness is only reflected in his love for studying the history of pre-civilizations.

"When we first arrived, we saw a lot of internal structures that were protruding and damaged due to movement and changes, right? Perhaps we can find a way to the interior from those places."

Maritus made his proposal, but it was quickly rejected by Heratia.

"I told you we can't get too deep."

"But……"

"No buts."

Helatia does have a leadership temperament... It's not that she has any special personal charm, but she can really keep her word and treat everyone equally.

She even scolded Maritus, the scientific executive whose status was second only to hers in the entire team.

This made Maritus's face stiffen for a few seconds.

Although he was very unwilling, he still lowered his head and chose to accept it.

This move also caused Maria to feel helpless.

She realized that if they really only collected reliable information from some places around them, they might really waste a lot of time here.

After a moment of silence, Maria walked to the door without saying anything and gently placed her hand on it.

Maria's slender spiritual perception slowly extended, and after simply confirming that there was no problem inside, she slowly turned her head.

"Let's make a promise..."

"Ok?"

When everyone heard Maria's words, they turned their heads in surprise.

But Maria just looked at them.

"There are multiple layers here... How about taking the first layer for ten minutes and then leaving?"

"Ok?"

When everyone heard Maria's words, they were obviously stunned for a few seconds, and some of them didn't quite understand what Maria meant.

Maritus next to him thought for a while, then frowned and asked a question.

"How do you know the multi-layered structure inside?"

While ancient civilizations often built structures like this to store important equipment, this wasn't the only way they did it.

In some information, there are also some venues where the gate is the only solid part.

There is currently no research to show what characteristics can be used to prove either of them.

How did Maria know for sure?

"I didn't ask you that question."

Maria's answer was as calm and infuriating as ever.

There was really no need for her to state this directly.

Maritus also turned his head and looked at Helatia beside him, as if asking for her opinion.

"This matter is up to you to decide."

Helatia's answer was very formal. She was only responsible for supervising these people on this trip. As for the details, they were not within her job scope.

"..."

Maritus was silent.

He lowered his head, but he was not thinking about Maria's words, but wondering why Maria said such words.

Beside her, the blue-haired woman nodded slightly.

"I have no objection..."

She didn't think much about it.

As a technological consul, she actually cared very little about what these former civilizations had left behind.

Most of the time, she simply transformed the technologies that had been analyzed and confirmed by the Science Archon into technologies that could be used directly.

So she didn't really care how much she could take away this time.

But Maritus was obviously in a dilemma.

After a moment of silence, he turned his head and looked at Maria.

Although he was unwilling to believe that Maria, a land dweller, had discovered the path to the interior of the building earlier than any of them, Maria's words had to attract his attention.

His interest in the relics of previous civilizations was undoubtedly fanatical.

Although he knew that even if they didn't take anything this time, they could still come here to collect documents later.

But every night this happened, he felt uncomfortable.

But Helatia did not allow them to take a detour to enter the building.

It seems... the only option is to agree with Maria's words?

Maritus was visibly troubled.

"How... did you determine the situation inside?"

Maritus still wanted an explanation.

But Maria's words were as calm as ever.

"That's not the question I'm asking you, sir. Agree or refuse, that's the choice you should make."

Maria's voice was calm, but her words were pressing.

For the first time, everyone's attention was focused on Maritus, which brought him tremendous pressure.
