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

The old Taoist priest also came to his senses at this time and nodded seriously.

She continued to point at the map, and everyone moved slowly along the path of her finger.

"According to current news dating back a long time, a conflict occurred in the border area. A group of Ursus soldiers who seemed to be infected broke into the country and fought with the border soldiers, causing some Ursus people to flee to the territory of Da Yan.

Although most of them have been captured, some did escape... If my previous speculation is correct, then all the chaos that has occurred in Da Yan so far may be related to this group of people... The most important thing is that it was after that period of time that we created this map."

As the old Taoist priest spoke, he looked at the marked location in front of him.

At this time, people like Nian nearby realized why the old Taoist priest suddenly returned to Baizao without any news.

Obviously, someone in Dayan has already noticed that something is unusual.

"If it's just a group of people who came to Baizao destroying everything along the way, then that can only mean they are a group of terrorists."

Maria drummed her fingers on the table.

She could feel that the other party had not finished telling her the story.

And the old Taoist priest indeed nodded.

She lifted up her clothes, took out several photos that she had always carried with her, and handed them to Maria respectfully.

Maria accepted it generously.

But after just a few glances, she frowned.

The old Taoist priest was explaining slowly and calmly on the side.

"If this group of people were simply sabotaging, we would at most hold them accountable internally. How could they have allowed the enemy to enter so easily? But after the Candlelighters investigated the scene, we discovered that this group of people seemed to be more than just thugs... They were an organized, well-planned group."

Maria flipped through the photos in her hands. Most of them were of battlefields ravaged by enemies. Maria was no longer surprised by these things.

What really concerned her were the various slightly weird things in the photos taken at the scene.

Dismembered people.

A strange human body formation that was stripped naked and stitched together with other people in a strange posture.

Man-made monsters, like a group of fleshy chunks condensed from half-melted wax figures.

and various other…

These scenes are almost the same as the ones when Godan attacked Kazdel!

Are these people the remnants of those Godan followers?

but……

Haven't those people already been cleared out themselves?!

Is anyone else alive?

Maria frowned in thought.

The old Taoist priest looked at the current situation and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"But these aren't the most troublesome things after all... From an operational point of view, their next step is to enter Baizao to continue the ceremony. However, we have already made arrangements here. Under normal circumstances, as long as there is any abnormality, we will be able to detect and respond."

"but……"

The old Taoist priest stopped talking here, and Maria continued to speak at this time.

"But you realize that they were able to brazenly break into the core area of ​​Da Yan and remain unapprehended because someone inside joined them, right?"

Maria raised her head slightly and looked at the old Taoist priest in front of her.

The old Taoist priest also nodded.

"Yes... When this group of people approached the central area, we noticed them and sent people to arrest them, but they still broke in."

The old Taoist priest rubbed his eyebrows.

"We've investigated everything we can, but we can't find any clues... In other words, there are only two possibilities for this to happen."

"The first possibility is that they possess some mysterious power, which is causing our repeated failures in capturing them. The second possibility is... they've been planning this for a long time."

The old Taoist priest's words also revealed a bit of helplessness.

Obviously, facing the current situation, she seems a little passive.

Especially after observing the stars and movements recently, she sensed that some kind of crisis was approaching and became increasingly nervous.

But fortunately, at this moment, Maria is still here.

It has to be said that what Maria did in the past has now borne fruit.

At this moment, she was like a golden signboard. Wherever she went, people who knew her had strong trust in her.

This greatly facilitated her actions.

"My original plan was to have the Celestial Masters carry out the operation in secret, have the Sui Family members act behind the Celestial Masters' backs, and I would hide in the middle to investigate."

"But...if you come back..."

As the old Taoist priest spoke, he looked at Maria with an expectant look, as if he wanted to get her answer.

After all, at this moment, there is no one more suitable than Maria to conduct secret investigations.

He doesn't have much of a past background, but he's very powerful and absolutely trustworthy.

For internal review, Maria is the best person!

Maria didn't hesitate.

Rather, after realizing that what was about to happen in Baizao was what she wanted to investigate, Maria herself wanted to join in.

After just a moment's thought, he nodded.

"I'll join."

……

After confirming to join, everyone no longer hesitated.

They began to walk towards their own positions.

While surrounded by the Heavenly Master, the people of the Sui family, the old Heavenly Master and others, Maria also quietly carried out her actions.

Her personality makes her unwilling to simply wait for the other party to take action and reveal their true intentions.

After realizing that this group of people were using the same method as before, Maria knew that this group of people had not given up on letting Godan come.

The reason for choosing Baizao is obviously because of the body of the year hidden underground.

This was something Maria could not tolerate.

After all, whether she is dead or not, she is Maria's friend, and desecrating her body is tantamount to a provocation to Maria!

So she took the initiative to find Kal'tsit and others, and asked them to crack the next ceremony location of Baizao.

Prepare to catch the turtle in the jar.

While Kal'tsit and others were calculating the steps, Maria was not idle either.

She stood quietly on the roof of Baizao under the night sky, feeling the cold wind blowing her windbreaker, letting the moonlight shine on her face, her gray eyes silently gazing at the entire Baizao.

After making sure that there was no problem for the time being, she let out a long sigh and prepared to sit down and rest for a while.

It was also at this time...

“You are here…”

A slim, poor woman came out.

She was carrying two gourds of wine in her hands, with her hair fading from yellow to blue, and she walked up to the roof gently.

Her yellow tail swayed slightly behind her, revealing her nervousness and uneasiness.

Her already gentle face appeared even more reserved and gentle under the moonlight in the dark night.

It's millet.

She came to see Maria...

"How did you come?"

"I'll buy you a drink."

Shu smiled and threw the wine gourd into Maria's hands.

For ordinary people, drinking while carrying out such an important task is a complete dereliction of duty.

But unfortunately, they are not ordinary people.

Maria thought for a while, but did not drink, and looked at the millet.

She knew that the other party's sudden appearance here was definitely not a coincidence.

She came here to find herself.

After seeing Maria's somewhat ruthless gaze, Shu hesitated for a long time, and then shook his head helplessly.

She didn't explain it directly, but moved closer to Maria, then sat down next to her.

The cold wind blew her hair, making it flutter slightly in the air.

"I've always wanted to do this once."

As she spoke, her tone gradually relaxed.

"Always?"

Maria tilted her head, somewhat confused.

But Shu just smiled.

"Find someone, drink some wine together at night, and look at the moon..."

"..."

Maria listened with a puzzled expression.

But Shu just continued talking to himself.

"Since the day I was born, I have often had dreams..."

"In my dream, I ate with a woman, chatted with her, drank with her, and watched the moon with her... We did many, many things together..."

"At that time, I still didn't know who the person in my dream was. I only vaguely felt that she was very important, so I began to search everywhere in the Great Yan Territory..."

"From Shangshu to Longmen, from Yumen to Langyi... I traveled to many places, trying to find that person."

Shu was whispering, as if talking in his sleep.

But such dream talk slowly brought back some memories for Maria.

She stood aside silently and quietly.

But when Shu said this, he suddenly paused, turned his head, looked at Maria's profile, and smiled softly.

"Do you think I'll find her?"

"..."

Maria paused for a few seconds.

What she actually wanted to answer was, you have found it... Both of them knew where this memory of Shu came from.

That was the remaining obsession that Sui had for Maria.

Millet is pushed forward by things that do not belong to it.

but……

The words reached his throat but got stuck.

Maria just remained silent, looking at the woman in front of her with eyes as bright as a child's.

"perhaps."

"perhaps……"

Shu smiled and didn't delve into it.

She turned her head and continued looking at the moon.

"Actually, on the day we met at the restaurant, Sister Xi actually asked me a question... Don't you want to say something after seeing you?"
