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

After seeing someone raise his hand to cast a spell, he stepped forward decisively and prepared to interrupt.

But before she could do anything, the sorcerer suddenly covered his hand and struggled in pain!

"Ugh——!"

"Ok?"

Chen was a little overwhelmed by this inexplicable scene.

But behind her, Maria's voice slowly came.

"Originium techniques...magical things."

Chen turned his head and saw Maria holding the bear man with rolled eyes in one hand and slowly grasping the air with the other.

"what have you done?"

Although Chen didn't know what had happened, considering that there were only a few people at the scene, he must have done something that made the warlock look so miserable.

"It's just a simple experiment."

Maria didn't explain anything. She threw the unconscious man aside and approached the warlock in front of her.

The Ursus sorcerer looked at Maria approaching with horror, and a strange growl came from his throat.

"It seems... you know more than him."

As she approached the guy in front of her step by step, Maria's eyes slowly narrowed, revealing a bit of sharpness.

Obviously, compared to these guys who are just working to save their lives, this man who can use some strange spells is more elite.

At least, Maria could see that this person had really killed something... otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so decisively just now.

Considering the conversation between these people that he heard not long ago, it is not difficult to imagine that this guy is an undercover sent by the so-called Integration Movement to ensure the completion of the mission.

A guy like this can definitely bring more information to Maria.

And just when Maria was about to torture the other party.

The dragon girl Chen standing by suddenly stood in front of Maria with a serious look on her face.

"Leave this to me!"

Chapter 42: Miss Doll's Skills

Chen stood firmly in front of the infected person and looked at Maria.

Although she felt uneasy, she would not waver in her stance.

"Leave this to me!"

"You handle it? Have you ever tortured a criminal, Detective Girl?"

Maria looked at Chen in front of her, but she was not angry, she just tilted her head slightly.

Maria didn't think she had any special ability to judge people, but she could more or less feel that the girl in front of her was a young girl who had not experienced much of the world... It was also because of this that she did not call her Miss or Madam, but called her Girl.

"This kind of thing isn't something you can just do. If you're inexperienced, you'll only make these guys more arrogant... They're not determined warriors, nor are they coerced. They're just a bunch of pathetic wretches who covet death... Violence isn't the most appropriate method, but it's certainly the fastest."

Maria said, her gaze shifting from Chen to the man, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"..."

Chen didn't reply, but just stood silently in front of Maria.

She never intended to interrogate him herself... Chen also knew that such a thing was beyond his ability.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

The reason why she stopped it now was simply because she didn't want Maria to interrogate her.

As for the reason, it is simple.

Judging from the attitude Maria is showing now, she is definitely planning to do some lynching.

This is something that the upright Chen would not allow.

She also understands that special treatment is required in special times, but... isn't it a special time yet?

The criminals have been caught, and we can just arrange for professionals to deal with them when the time comes... Maria is just an ordinary outsider. If she is allowed to carry out lynchings at will, what is the difference between her and those lawless gangs?

Chen knew that logically, he had no reason to stop Maria.

But she is the superintendent of the Longmen Guard Bureau after all!

The pursuit of justice made her unwilling to watch Maria act arbitrarily.

That’s enough, that’s all. I’ve seen what happened to you, but the rest is up to you to handle!

Maria also stopped at this moment and looked at the other party.

"You are a very interesting young girl... very interesting, but unfortunately, I don't want to tell you too much right now. I need to know some things from him... so please move aside."

Maria said this politely... after all, she really didn't want to conflict with the city's defense forces.

But the current situation does not allow her to retreat.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but as for me, my companions are in danger, and I can't just wait for the outcome."

"We'll take care of this!"

"Of course you have the right to deal with him, and I have no intention of killing him... But before that, I need to interrogate him briefly..."

Maria's request was simple. She just needed some time to ask the other person what she wanted to know.

But Chen's attitude is also very clear.

"You can ask, but can you promise not to do anything?"

"..."

Maria was silent.

Obviously, she knew a way to make the enemy surrender and reveal all their information without taking any action.

Lynching is necessary.

And this is exactly what Chen cannot accept.

"If you can promise that you will never lynch him, then I will agree to your interrogation... but if not, I will not agree!"

Chen continued speaking, and her tone seemed to indicate that she was taking a step back, but in fact, she was rejecting Maria.

"As for your merit in capturing these criminals, please rest assured. After I return and take them away, I will apply for some compensation for you. But the premise is... you must not resort to violence. If you do, I will only define you as an ordinary person who fought with criminal suspects!"

Chen spoke seriously.

But such words made Maria feel ridiculous.

Does she look like the type of person who would care about reputation?

Rubbing her brows, Maria looked up.

"You're starting to annoy me, Detective Girl... This is my last reminder. Get out of the way. I don't want things to get too ugly."

"Are you threatening me?"

Chen gritted his teeth as he listened to Maria speak.

Although her response was firm, her posture was not as confident as her actions.

Her slightly hunched posture spoke volumes of her uneasiness.

To be honest, she didn't really want to conflict with Maria.

But...different standpoints mean that many things are impossible for each other to accept.

Just like Maria, who has been fighting in that crazy place for who knows how many years, she rarely cares about any organization's obstruction. The only one who can stop Maria's actions is herself.

Chen knows that Longmen is far from perfect nowadays, but she is determined to do what she should do and work hard to make Longmen a better place!

She will never allow anyone to trample on the law!

The conflict in identity led to the confrontation between the two people at this time.

The two of them just stared at each other, neither willing to give in.

The atmosphere gradually solidified.

Chen looked at the woman in front of him uneasily, his eyes becoming increasingly fierce with each breath.

Maria in front of him still didn't move, still standing straight, as if her whole body was full of flaws.

But his long-standing intuition told Chen that he should never underestimate the guy in front of him.

The oppressive aura that was blowing towards me was like a man-eating beast!

Chen had never felt such an aura from anyone else.

Savage, brutal, yet rational.

It looks delicate and elegant, but in fact, it is just a ferocious beast disguising itself!

Even his uncle, the controller of Longmen, the mysterious and powerful Wei Yanwu, had never revealed such an aura.

Just standing calmly in front of him, Chen still couldn't help trembling.

This made her even more certain that the Maria in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person!

The atmosphere became increasingly solemn and tense.

And that is when it comes to the critical point where everything will explode.

Maria suddenly smiled.

"Just a joke, you naughty detective girl~"

Maria took a step back, raised her hands, and showed a helpless expression.

The oppressive atmosphere that Chen sensed also dissipated.

But she was not as confident as Maria, so she remained on guard.

Maria shook her head and then looked at the man shivering on the ground.

After pausing for a few seconds, he sighed.

"I agree to your request and will not lynch this guy... However, my interrogation method is a bit special, and his mind may be slightly twisted. Is that okay?"

"The spiritual aspect...is it your Originium skills?" Chen frowned.

"I don't have that kind of useful ability... or rather, I don't know if I even have Originium skills. Don't worry, I just want to have a brief chat with him. As a guarantee, I can interrogate him under your watchful eyes without any physical contact. Is that okay?"

Maria spoke, looking at Chen again, and stated her offer with a smile.

But at the end, she added a sentence.

"If you can't accept this... then I can only express my regret..."

"……Can."

After a long psychological struggle, Chen finally nodded and agreed to Maria's application.

After all, she really couldn't imagine what kind of damage Maria could cause to the target without using Originium skills or even physical contact.

From this point of view, Maria's interrogation is actually similar to the interrogation conducted by the professional negotiator Longmen temporarily hired by the Guard Bureau under normal circumstances.

That's acceptable.

Seeing that the stubborn Chen finally gave in, Maria shook her head helplessly, then closed her eyes silently and asked the existence in her memory.

"Are you ready, puppet?"

Chapter 43 Hunting Ground

Not long ago, when she entered that strange dream, Maria hunted a strange three-headed dog.

After the hunt was completed, the body of the three-headed dog disappeared, replaced by a small section of umbilical cord.

The doll also said that it can transform it into Maria's ability.

It just takes a little time.

Just now, when Maria and Chen looked at each other, the puppet finally digested the power of the umbilical cord, unlocking a new ability for Maria.
