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

After making sure that everyone was present, Helatia shifted her gaze and looked at Maria beside her.

Maria turned around and started leading the way as if nothing had happened.

No accidents occurred along the way and everyone arrived at the designated location quickly.

After changing back into my diving suit, I was ready to set off.

At this moment, Maritus suddenly took out three large bags from behind him.

Distributed accurately to several people.

"This contains an important research object, but I can't carry it by myself. You guys carry it first... We can study it for a while on the way back..."

He said this in a calm tone.

Everyone didn't think much about it and just nodded.

Helatia took another look, but when she saw that Maria didn't show any reaction, she said nothing.

Soon, everyone dived into the water and returned to their respective boats.

The people who stayed on the ship didn't know what had happened. After hearing Helatia's order to return, they looked at each other and started to move by controlling the ship.

Maria also returned to her room.

Everything seemed to have returned to its original daily routine.

At least, for the first week, everything felt natural.

And just when they were on their way back, Helatia came to them again.

"What's matter?"

Maria looked at Helatia in front of her with a calm tone.

There was an unremovable solemnity on Helatia's face.

She walked around Maria and entered the room.

After making sure that no one was following him, he slowly closed the door.

"Is it really okay?"

Helatia frowned and looked at Maria.

She still felt something was wrong.

That night, she and Maria mentioned Maritus's abnormality.

But Maria didn't answer anything at that time. She was silent for a while, then nodded to indicate that she would handle it all.

Helatia thought Maria was going to deal with Maritus.

But looking at the results...

Maria didn't seem to do anything?

"It depends on how you define 'okay'."

Maria whispered, and asked Helatia to sit next to her, while she sat quietly on the bed beside her with a calm look in her eyes.

"Ok?"

Helatia's expression suddenly changed, and then her brows furrowed.

"what do you mean?"

"……nothing."

Maria's eyes were calm, and she just looked at the observation port at the side of the room.

Not far from them, two boats were moving side by side.

"It's just... here, apart from you and me, there's no one who hasn't been parasitized."

"Um?!"

After hearing Maria's words, Helatia was obviously confused for a while.

But after just a few seconds, her expression became extremely complicated.

After a long time, she took a deep breath.

"When?"

She didn't think Maria was the type of person who liked to joke, and since she said that, it was almost certain that this was the truth.

"That night, when you opened the 'research materials' he sent you."

Maria said this, her eyes drooping slightly, then slowly moving to Helatia's changing face.

After a long time, she let out a sigh.

"This parasite won't change anything for now, but it's like a hidden toxin that will erupt at the right time..."

Maria spoke, and every word sent chills down Helatia's spine.

"What would happen if you were parasitized by these things?"

Helatia asked almost immediately.

But Maria just glanced at her and pointed to the notebook on the table.

Because life on the submarine was really boring, Maria picked up her painting again, which she hadn't mentioned for a long time, and drew some sea patterns she had seen.

After seeing the strange and bizarre creatures above, Helatia stood up almost instantly.

"no!"

She gritted her teeth and spoke firmly.

"This kind of thing...must never reach Agor."

Helatia's voice was powerful.

But she found that Maria didn't say anything in silence.

Combined with Maria's calmness and composure, Helatia felt even more unbelievable.

"Did you do this... on purpose?"

“…Not really.”

Maria shook her head.

She really didn't do this on purpose.

But one has to admit that this direction of events is more in her interest.

She needed to put pressure on the Agor people. Only in this way could she push the Hunter Plan forward more easily.

As for what kind of consequences it will cause, how many people will die, and how many tragedies will occur...

Maria didn't allow herself to think too much about it.

There is no doubt that this is still an action built on death.

Maria is destined to bear this guilt...

This is also the real reason why Maria didn't care much about any heart-throbs during this period.

Even she sometimes doesn't know if what she does is right.

If Maria needed to sacrifice other people's lives in order to kill Godan, she would do it without hesitation.

But the problem is that this time, she is not sure whether the Deep Sea Hunter Project will lead to success.

Perhaps, she sacrificed many people, but still could not bring back the future of more people.

Then everything will become meaningless.

“…Maria…”

Helatia whispered, her expression becoming increasingly entangled and ugly.

This time, she finally did not give in.

She stood straight in front of Maria, supporting her shoulders with both hands, and questioned her seriously.

"What are you doing? All this...what is it all for!?"

Her voice was like that of an angry female leopard, and her pupils were flashing with rage.

She really didn't mind Maria and herself having some small, hidden entertainment interactions within the rules.

But she also has limits.

Any action under the rules must not really affect Agor.

Just as she had said to Maria before.

She put Maria into Agor in the hope that Maria could revitalize Agor, who was now losing his sharpness.

But she just wanted to activate Agor's fighting spirit, not to destroy Agor!

But at this moment, these creatures called Haisi really have the ability to destroy the entire Agor!

This is something she absolutely won't allow!

"..."

Maria didn't answer, her gray eyes just looked calmly at the woman who was pressing on her.

This indifference made Helatia feel uncomfortable.

"I don't really like threatening people with rules or something like that..."

Helatia looked into Maria's eyes and realized that if this continued, Maria would not reveal the information.

After a moment's silence, she broke her habit.

"But... no matter what you want to do, you should need my identity, right?"

Helatia took a deep breath, and a trickle of blood seeped out of her lips that were bitten by Beibai's teeth and dripped onto Maria's lips.

"Tell me why all this is happening, otherwise... I won't give you any help!"

Helatia spoke, her words firm.

But Maria just looked at the woman in front of her, paused for a few seconds, and then let out a breath.

"You are sometimes very smart, but sometimes your naivety makes me feel childish and ridiculous."

“There’s more than just one collaborator. For those who truly want to achieve a goal, there are always many ways to do it.”

Maria slowly stood up.

Even though Helatia tried to pin him down on the bed, the difference in strength between the two was too great.

In the face of absolute power, Helatia was forced into a corner step by step.

But even so, she still looked at Maria in front of her unwillingly.

Maria held out her hand.

Slowly, caress each other's lips.

Just now, the wound that was bitten by Helatia herself has been completely healed.

Maria only smeared the blood on the back of the opponent's neck last time, and this time she still had some strength left.

"But...you are special."

Maria whispered, her tone calm.

But her words made Helatia stunned.

Am I...special?

why?

She looked at Maria in confusion.

But Maria had no intention of explaining.

There are actually many reasons why she has a good attitude towards Helatia.

This was because Helatia herself helped her a lot, and also because Helatia was Goletia's mother.
