The doctor told the whole story in one breath, his tone a little hurried.

But what surprised her was that after hearing these words, Precious did not give an immediate answer.

After a moment of silence, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the doctor.

"You...why do you trust her so much?"

"Forehead……"

When the doctor heard this, his tone suddenly paused, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

She didn't understand why Precious brought up the issue.

But Precious shook his head.

"I also traveled with Maria for a while. Although I hated her, I have to admit that she is indeed a very mysterious and reassuring woman. It's as if standing behind her, I don't have to think about anything... But I hate this feeling. It makes me feel like a useless burden. Standing on her side, I will never be qualified to solve problems head-on."

Precious said as he stepped forward.

Although she was slightly shorter than the doctor, the doctor felt a little uneasy at this moment.

"And...she's too powerful. She's so powerful that she doesn't seem like a normal human being, even though she still calls herself a human."

"When we're around her, we're always unconsciously drawn to her. We subconsciously look towards her, trying to find a sense of relaxation from her..."

"What do you mean?"

The doctor frowned. She felt that there was something behind Precious's words, but she was not sure what she was talking about.

This answer made Precious silent for a few seconds, but then, as if doting on someone, he continued to answer.

"What I want to say is... don't you think that your trust in her is too strong right now? It's like there's a voice telling you to believe in her all the time?"

Precious turned his head and looked at the doctor with a dim gaze, but the words he uttered stirred up some kind of storm in the doctor's heart.

The doctor suddenly came to his senses and found that his body had become more than twice as heavy, as if a drifting cloud suddenly had substance. He looked at his hands with his eyes open in confusion.

Precious had made it very clear that they shouldn't trust Maria so much?

"Maybe...she can understand what we say?"

The doctor tried to struggle a few more times. Perhaps their trust in Maria was not affected by something, but by themselves?

After all, Maria could understand what they said. Perhaps this meant that they had already regarded Maria as one of their own?

After all, that's how she rose to prominence.

But this time Precious did not answer.

She just looked at the doctor silently, watching her comforting herself and reflecting on herself.

It is true that Maria can understand what they say, which makes them regard her as a survivor of the previous civilization. It is natural for everyone to have initial trust, but... isn't it strange that Maria can understand but can't speak?

Add to that the possibility of this world's bizarre Originium skills, and the subsequent irrational acceptance of each other's trust in them as they come into contact...is there anything else to think about?

The doctor understood what Priss meant and pursed his lips slightly, revealing a bit of struggle.

And Precious also noticed this.

She did not ask the doctor to accept her idea immediately, but after a moment of silence, she turned around and asked again.

"Now that you're back, where did she go?"

"she?"

The doctor paused and spoke in confusion.

"She went to stop Godan..."

"one person?"

"one person……"

The Doctor's words grew increasingly silent, and Precious's words opened up a horrifying possibility for her, but such a possibility made her uneasy.

But then, Precious tore off the veil.

"Remember our research? Humans can't kill these monsters."

Precious took a deep breath and spoke coldly.

"Their life forms are entirely in a world we've never set foot in. Their forms, their minds, and their thoughts cannot be described or speculated using the methods we're used to... But one thing we can be sure of is that humans cannot kill these monsters, unless..."

"Unless... we also become them..."

The doctor continued the conversation for Prisseth, which completely tore apart the last bit of vague thoughts in the doctor's mind.

Precious had made it very clear, Maria... was not the same kind of life as them.

It's not just a comparison with their previous civilizations.

But compared with them, the entire Terra, and all the life that has appeared on this land.

Maria is an outlier!

She is not on my side!

The doctor's breathing paused deeply, and his expression became more and more ugly and tangled.

When Precious saw the doctor's expression, he finally stopped questioning Maria, shook his head slightly, and continued speaking.

"I know you might be a little skeptical and uneasy about this idea. Believe me, I am too. But we can discuss these issues later. Now, I want to tell you something else."

Precious spoke, but the Doctor just raised his little face, looking confused.

She couldn't accept the fact that Maria was a monster.

And Precious was a little conflicted, but soon she focused on what was really important.

"I've spent the past few months researching the history of this world...especially the history of the Sarkaz. I've discovered that our lost controller is very likely related to this group of Sarkaz."

"Sarkaz?"

The doctor paused, his eyes a little vague.

And Precious raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you find it strange? Although many races in this world are susceptible to Originium disease, only the Sarkaz can be said to be naturally adapted to Originium..."

"I've studied their history and bodies, and I'm certain this isn't prejudice stemming from history, culture, or habits. Even in a peaceful environment, under the same level of pollution, the Sarkaz are still more susceptible to infection... It's as if their bodies were born to spread Originium."

"I've discovered a lot of interesting things in their history. The most obvious one is probably the guy they call the First Demon King."

Precious' words came out, and after a moment, she looked at the doctor.

"If we want to retrieve Ananna, the controller, perhaps we should start with the Demon King."

Precious explained his idea to the doctor.

The reason why she cooperated with Tracy was, on the one hand, because the other party's power was indeed ready-made and did not require her to continue to develop, and on the other hand, because the goals of both parties were the same.

It’s just that Tracys wanted the identity of the Demon King, while Priss wanted the Demon King’s Black Crown, which has not been recorded much until now.

She realized that there might be what she was looking for in there.

But the doctor was not in the mood to care about these things at the moment. Her mind was now full of the question of whether Maria was a human or not.

But at this moment, a muffled sound suddenly erupted!

"Bong—"

Just like a silent explosion pushing the air, a dull sound suddenly exploded in the air and quickly spread in all directions.

Everyone felt a little difficulty breathing almost at the same time, and the muffled sound caused a strange buzzing sound in their ears.

At this moment, the wailing and screaming in the streets seemed particularly harsh.

Everyone looked up in surprise.

Shortly after the muffled sound occurred, something unusual happened in the whole world.

The originally dim lights on the roadside were dyed with a strange golden brown.

These lights shine on people, revealing a strange color.

Several soldiers on guard were illuminated by the light. Guided by the light, they vaguely saw that a human figure seemed to emerge on the other side!

At this moment, its original body is struggling rapidly with its body, as if fighting for control of the body!

"This is?!"

Such a strange scene made the priest, who was seeing something unusual for the first time, stunned.

But the Doctor and Precious next to them already knew what had happened.

Although this was their first time reading it, they had already read the relevant reports countless times.

When Tracy saw this scene, he could no longer maintain his composure on his face. He turned around with a serious expression.

This wasn't the first time he had seen something like this, but... the last time he saw something like this was in Kazdel.

"where is it?"

Tracy immediately asked the doctor beside him.

When she looked confused, he immediately followed up and asked.

"Maria...where is she?!"

Tracy was 100% sure that the current problem must be caused by Maria.

He didn't know whether this meant Maria had the upper hand or the enemy had the upper hand.

But he was sure that if he didn't take action now, he might not even have the chance to do so later.

The doctor also reacted.

After exchanging glances with the priest, they turned around without any hesitation and started running towards their destination with a few people!

The actions of several people were not carried out in a high-profile manner, but were covert in order not to cause more unrest.

Not long after, they arrived at the place where Maria had just fought.

The first thing Tracy saw was Maria's back as she stabbed a long knife through her chest and knelt on one knee. Her face almost turned pale.

But soon, he noticed that there was another 'Maria' in the distance.

But Maria stabbed herself in the chest with a dagger and fell to the ground.

This slightly strange scene made him look confused.

Meanwhile, Precious on the side frowned, thinking about something.

But this action did not last long, and soon, Maria slowly opened her eyes.

She didn't say anything, but just exhaled a breath of foul air towards the front and stood up shakily.

"you're awake?!"

Seeing Maria wake up, the doctor beside him couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and a look of joy appeared on his face, even though he had told himself not to rely too much on one person.

Can……

Just as she walked forward and was about to ask Maria about the situation.

On the other side, Maria committed suicide with a dagger.

He also slowly stood up.

"To be honest, I'm a little irritated, fellow countrymen..."

Godan spoke, and the words he uttered made the doctor's heart tremble.

These words, without any surprise, proved that Precious's guess not long ago was correct.

But before she could say anything more, Godan continued speaking.

"This feeling is truly bizarre... I can now understand why you enjoy confining yourself in this ridiculous state."

Godan was like a child who was touching a new toy for the first time, closely feeling the emotions surging in his body.

It was very frustrating, but… it was also a completely new experience I had never experienced before.

Maria looked at Godan in front of her, without saying a word, but silently spat out the blood foam in her mouth.

Her already bright red lips were now even brighter.

Everyone who saw this scene was horrified.
