"She didn't give us a name, nor a purpose. She simply left us behind, gave us abilities, and then chose to sleep."

"One day, she will wake up and take back everything we have..."

Shu spoke slowly, and his tone became more and more sad.

She sighed a few times, then raised her head and looked at the sky again.

"When that time comes, our lives will also come to an end..."

"Are you afraid?"

Maria blinked and looked at Shu.

But Shu just smiled.

"I'm not afraid of dying... but I don't want to go back either."

"Ok?"

"If it were me at the beginning, perhaps I would have accepted this fate, but it's different now..."

Shu lowered his head, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the wave-like rice, with his eyes slightly drooping.

"I have found the meaning of my life... I am also trying to work hard for it. I don't want to leave here until I fulfill this wish..."

As Shu spoke, his tone gradually became firmer and his eyes became sharper.

Maria, who was standing next to him, also lowered her eyes slightly when she saw this scene.

"Is this...your choice?"

"Ah."

"I understand."

……

Time returns to the present.

After Shu discovered the unusual stream under the ground, Maria's voice gradually sounded.

She was silent, looking at the girl in front of her.

The calm posture does not hide the slightest bit.

At this time, Shu discovered that the blood on Maria's left hand was flowing like water, constantly dripping onto the ground and gradually blending into the ground...

"What's this?"

Shu gradually realized something and his pupils slowly widened.

"My blood..."

Maria's tone was very calm, as if she was doing something very ordinary.

And all around, the donated blood flowing from underground gradually gathered together.

They approached step by step, and in front of Shu's terrified eyes, they enveloped him bit by bit...

Unexpectedly, when Shu was wrapped in the donated blood, he did not feel the uncomfortable sticky feeling...

On the contrary, she could feel an indescribable strong sense of security!

It's like...

She returned to a gentle motherly embrace...

What surprised her even more was...

As the blood seeped out, she suddenly found that her body was gradually becoming heavy.

She could feel as if there was a huge stone in her body.

She was no longer a dandelion floating in the air, but gradually turned into a tree with its own roots!

She...can feel her own entity!

Maria... snatched her from the hands of the year-old? !

“These things.”

The more he felt it, the more he realized how incredible what was happening in his body was.

She stared blankly at Maria, awe gradually welling up in her eyes...

But Maria didn't say much, just shook her head and walked forward step by step.

And Shu also noticed that Maria's body gradually became illusory.

This made her breath hitch.

She wanted to say something.

But the surging blood gradually drained her strength.

Her voice gradually faded away.

The evil demon in the distance seemed to have sensed Maria and stopped going crazy. Instead, it squatted on the ground tremblingly, staring at Maria silently.

It breathed, its scarlet eyes growing sharper.

In desperate situations, it seems as if its biological instincts have awakened.

It no longer dodged, but gritted its teeth and glared at Maria!

Several members of the Sui family nearby could not escape Maria's "poisonous hands" and were covered by the blood released by Maria.

Their bodies gradually escaped the control of age...

"I hope she won't be mad later."

Maria sighed, blinked, and turned her head to look at the ferocious beast in front of her.

"But, before that..."

"You should rest..."

Chapter 330: Is it cheating?

When Maria opened her eyes again, time had returned to reality.

And in her hand, a small section of shriveled umbilical cord was lying quietly.

In the fireplace next to it, the bonfire was still burning, and the doll was still standing there calmly, smiling at Maria.

"Welcome back, kind hunter..."

"Ah."

Maria stood up, rubbed her brow, and handed the umbilical cord to the doll.

The puppet was not polite at all. It took it with both hands, held it quietly in its hands, and then closed its eyes.

The light gradually gathered in the palm of her hand, and turned into specks of starlight, gradually blending into the entire New Yanan.

Maria's strength recovered a little.

After doing all this, the puppet raised its head again and looked at Maria.

"How was the operation this time?"

"…It's hard for me to describe it, puppet."

Maria slowly stood up.

The puppet next to her also quietly brought Maria a glass of drink.

But Maria refused.

"If I have to define this operation as success or failure, then I think it should be considered a failure..."

"Failed?"

The puppet tilted its head, expressing its objection.

After all, she and Maria are fundamentally one.

So she also knew what Maria saw and heard when she traveled through Yan Country for the second time.

In her opinion, this move was not a failure.

Of course, if we really want to use the original purpose as the standard, then it may indeed be a failure...

Maria still had no idea how to pull the giant beast Godan into the ground.

only……

"You've witnessed another event, and you've also reclaimed the power that originally belonged to you... Isn't this wonderful?"

The puppet squinted its eyes and smiled.

Maria shook her head and sighed helplessly.

"I'm not as optimistic as you think, Puppet... Recovering the umbilical cord is certainly a cause for joy, but it can't replace the original purpose. Failure is failure, there's nothing to say."

"is that so……"

The puppet shook its head, not commenting.

"But in my opinion, recovering the umbilical cord isn't the biggest gain of your trip..."

"Ok?"

Maria turned her head.

If even the umbilical cord isn’t considered a harvest… then what else is a harvest?

"You saw your friend again, didn't you?"

The puppet narrowed its eyes with a teasing expression.

Maria was also stunned for a few moments, then shook her head helplessly.

"Millet is not a year... They are not a year..."

"Besides... Puppet, I think you're overthinking it. I don't have any particular thoughts about any particular person. I treat everyone the same."

Maria spoke calmly, and her unhurried tone fully demonstrated her calmness and composure as a special being.

But the puppet just quietly uttered a name.

"Lamaren."

"..."

Maria was silent.

Obviously, although Maria spoke decisively, she did not really treat everyone equally as she said.

At least, she couldn't do it when it came to Lamaren.

The doll's eyes blinked playfully a few times.

After a while, he slowly spoke.

"Your love... is truly heavy..."

"Don't remind me, puppet, I know."

Maria rubbed her brows, her face became unusually embarrassed, and even her thoughts were a little confused.

"Besides, that's not love..."

"So how do you plan to explain the child named Logos?"

The doll did not directly refute Maria... because she knew that Maria was just that stubborn.

Normal things are fine, but once it comes to issues like personal feelings, she will become obviously hesitant and confused.

Finally, a feeling of denial is formed.

This is not okay.

People still have to face their feelings!
