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

But before leaving, many things need to be taken care of.

For example, Tallulah has returned to normal.

The black snake's influence on her seemed to be more than just occupying her body. She also knew what she had done some time ago.

So after she recovered, her state could be described as distraught.

As for someone with such a special identity, the detective girl does not want her to be detained by Longmen, and after careful consideration, Rhodes Island does not intend to take on such a dangerous person.

On the contrary, it was the puppet who felt that the other party had great potential, so he took the initiative to propose exiling him to the edge of Yharnam.

Maria never refuses the doll's proposal.

As for the members of the Shield Guard Yeti Squad, they seemed to have had some discussions among themselves, and in the end the Patriot was persuaded to accompany the Yeti Squad to settle in the north of New Yharnam.

Among them, the Snow Monster Team is considered to be the puppet's reserve hunter training group, and Frost Star, who is already half Maria's follower, is naturally recommended as the contact person to connect with the puppet.

Their job is similar to that of a guard.

Because the assimilation of Platform 17 is not perfect, those crazy monsters still surge from time to time.

Their responsibility is to ensure the safety of the middle and inner layers of Yharnam.

As for this request, Shuangxing agreed very readily.

In their opinion, they have already taken advantage of many things by being able to live in Yharnam without discrimination, have safe food, and even passively control the infection of Originium. It is only right for them to accept the simple guarding work.

Besides, their bodies would not die under the influence of the giant light.

But Maria still reminded them not to die too many times.

After all, losing your respect for death is not a fun thing.

Among them, the Patriot wanted to say something to Maria several times, but in the end he just remained silent.

As for Rhode Island.

Maria didn't know how to deal with this strange obstacle.

Since the battle ended, their top leaders seemed to have held a meeting.

Many of them had quarrels.

But in the end, they still planned to communicate with Maria in a formal capacity, and arranged for some operators with more serious infections to come here to rest.

The blood demon they had seen before also came here.

It's just that the other party seemed very reluctant, and it could even be said that he was sent here tied up.

As soon as she got here, she squatted in her basement and refused to go out no matter what.

Maria didn't care about this.

After all, all she required of Yanan was just a means of transportation.

She is a puppet. She hopes that Maria can live in a normal place, so she has been trying hard to make Xinyanan a normal yet somewhat special place.

To achieve this, tools, personnel, and other miscellaneous things are essential.

But she didn't want Maria to worry about these things, so she took care of them all.

"It's gradually getting on track... Next, we need to attract more people... especially technical personnel to rebuild the city."

Although the environmental puppets in Yharnam are more familiar, the new city seen through Maria also gave the puppets a lot of ideas.

Especially those tools powered by Originium, which made her feel novel.

That's why she used her limited ability to move outside of Yharnam to go find Wei Yanwu.

The man was cunning, even sinister.

But...what does it matter?

After the puppets briefly showed their fists and intentions, the other party weighed the pros and cons for a while and happily gave them a lot of supplies.

As for his so-called diplomats, who are actually his spies and others such as the Longmen Guard Bureau, he seems to be indifferent to them.

"Thank you for your hard work, puppet."

Maria nodded and held out her hand.

After being stunned for a moment, the doll gave Maria a reproachful look, then naturally moved its face closer and rubbed it slightly.

"Gentle Hunter..."

She whispered, her voice soothing.

Ever since he revealed his true feelings to Maria last time, Maria didn't know what she was thinking, but she seemed to have become a little more enlightened.

Although she still didn't understand many emotions, she knew how to reward the doll with some intimate gestures.

The doll has told himself more than once not to be greedy for this moment of emotion.

But every time Maria reached out her hand, she couldn't help but want to go over.

Over time, she got used to it.

Who makes me such an easy person to deal with?

The hunter just had to wave his hand and his heart couldn't help but jump.

I clearly don't have the heart...

As it rubbed, the doll suddenly remembered something and raised its head again.

"One more thing, Hunter."

"Ok?"

"I've made some progress on the matter you wanted me to investigate."

"What is it?"

"This is it."

The puppet took out a small piece of torn cloth from its arms.

These are the clothes of those sharp blades...After they were alienated, even their clothes became unusual.

But Maria sensed a familiar aura from it.

However, she didn't think much about it at the time, and just took some and gave them to the puppet to investigate... She thought that any result from the investigation would be considered a win, but unexpectedly, the puppet gave her a big surprise at this time.

"This thing... is related to the umbilical cord..."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Maria's brows furrowed decisively.

As a result, the puppy on his knees frowned.

Maria hesitated for a few moments before relaxing.

He asked softly while rubbing the other's head gently.

"Something to do with the umbilical cord?"

"Um……"

The puppet nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken."

"Maybe, there's an umbilical cord...that's been resurrected!"

Chapter 212 Simulation Again

The puppet took a step forward and slowly handed the piece that Maria had given it back to Maria's hand, touching it gently a few times.

What was surprising was that as the puppet's aura spread, this group of small steps actually began to curl up on their own as if they had consciousness!

The characteristics of this creature should definitely not appear on a piece of man-made debris!

"As you can see, this thing is very sensitive to our scent, even to the point of being alert."

The puppet placed its hands on its abdomen and bowed slightly.

"Is there... the power of the umbilical cord on this?"

Maria frowned, then clenched it again and felt it carefully.

"It's not that strong." The puppet shook his head.

Maria had been fighting those monsters for too long, so some of her perceptions had become dull, so she didn't take it seriously. But the doll was different. As a man-made creature, she always kept herself in the best condition, so she could feel that extremely faint breath.

"These fragments are only slightly contaminated with the aura. The real infectors might still be those sharp blades..."

"..."

"But, since even the clothes you wear are stained with the aura, it means that the power of these blades is highly active." Facing the puzzled Maria, the puppet continued to explain, "Just like the slight evolution of your clothes, the blades are in the same state... but not as pure."

"So, I guess that there might be a section of the umbilical cord that somehow came back to life and dispersed its power."

"is that so……"

Maria frowned, her fingers gently kneading the big dog girl lying on her knees.

The slightly cool fingers seemed to touch some sensitive spots, causing the girl's face to turn slightly red in her sleep.

There was another moment of silence before Maria turned her head and looked at the doll beside her.

"So… do you have any ideas?"

Maria now has two choices.

Continue to Bolivar, or turn around immediately and go to Ursus to get the umbilical cord that is already known.

But both options have their pros and cons, and Maria couldn't make a balance for the time being.

"...My idea is to continue to Bolivar." The puppet was obviously prepared for this, so he spoke decisively after Maria asked.

Don't look for the umbilical cord, it's better to go to Bolivar first.

"Bolivar... why?"

“That’s a little more beneficial for our current situation.”

The doll shook its head and looked at Maria with its gray eyes.

"Although the umbilical cord has revived, its instincts are incomplete... The ancient beings' abilities are unique, and they are now under your control. This means that no matter how much the umbilical cord stirs, it won't do anything significant. On the contrary, for you, understanding what is happening in this world today is the most important thing."

"The umbilical cord can move in the country called Ursus. You can go and capture it at any time, but on the contrary, keeping it temporarily may lead to the real crisis of this world."

"What's more, since it chose to give its power to other lives, it also means that the threat it poses itself is not too great."

"In contrast, you don't have to focus your important energy on something that can be dealt with at any time. Going to Bolivar will be more beneficial for you to understand the hidden things in this world..."

The puppet spoke its own words, detailing bit by bit how the umbilical cord was not dangerous and how Maria deserved more important things to do.

After thinking for a while, Maria reached out and pushed away the scroll on the small table beside her.

A map of the entire Terra continent was drawn on it.

Bolivar, on the other hand, occupies a large area on the westernmost side of the continent.

Ursus spans the top of the entire continent, stretching out a long area.

The border between the two is not particularly far apart. If we are only discussing the national border, the transfer between the two does not even take a week.

At this time, Maria and others were at the westernmost part of Yan Country...

"Levitania and Syracuse on the left... Ursus above, and Rembil below..."

After a moment of silence, Maria also fell silent.

But after a moment, she made a decision.

"Let's go to Syracuse first."

"Ok?"

"We'll head to Syracuse, then head directly to Ursus... Crossing countries one by one might cause us unnecessary problems. In that case, we can simply use Ursus's territory and head towards Bolivar."

Maria finally made the decision.

Obviously, although the doll said that the umbilical cord was not a big deal, Maria was not that generous after all.
