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

When the other party finished explaining the function of the ability, Maria immediately associated it with interrogation.

That's why she could boldly promise Chen not to even have any physical contact with the target.

Because she believed that with this ability, she could ask what she wanted to know even without being touched!

After making sure the doll was ready, Maria turned her head and stared at the man in front of her with wild and bloodshot eyes.

With his eyes wide open, he looked no different from a wild beast.

The angry gaze seemed to want to force Maria to retreat, refusing to give in even a little.

But this kind of eye contact is exactly what Maria needs.

Ancient syllables that didn't seem human could utter came out of her throat...

"Look at me..."

Sen'ao's solemn voice sounded as if countless people were whispering in their ears...

The roar made them feel like their internal organs were about to shatter.

Especially Chen, who was in the best condition, was affected even more profoundly at this time.

Just by breathing, her chest began to ache slightly.

But...compared to her, the man next to her was obviously even worse.

As Maria spoke, his sight seemed to be fixed, and he could only stare at the eyes of the person in front of him.

Looking at those cold grey eyes, they gradually turned scarlet.

His thoughts were gradually stripped away.

……

"Woo!"

The man woke up instantly.

He was covered in cold sweat, his eyes were wide open, and he sat up from the ground gasping for breath.

But after taking a closer look at his surroundings, he was at a loss again.

"where is this place?"

At this time, he had left the original warehouse and came to an unknown place.

A circular flat land... its borders formed by rows of tombstones. Small white flowers covered the entire ground. As he moved, the petals would float up and fly high into the sky...

It was also because of this that the man noticed the strange blue-white moon hanging in the sky...

This moon... isn't right...

too big……

If the moon we usually see is only the size of a button, then the moon at this moment is like it is stuck on his face.

It was so huge that it occupied a full fifth of the sky!

A soft fluorescent light covered the land, and the familiar woman in black was standing quietly.

Next to her, there was another woman who looked exactly like her, quiet and gentle...

"Where is this place? What are you going to do?"

The man looked at the woman in front of him uneasily, his beating heart making him feel even more uneasy.

Something is wrong...very wrong, everything here is so wrong.

But he continued to be stubborn.

"Give up, I won't say anything!"

As he spoke, he struggled to his feet, and even though he knew he couldn't compete with Maria, he still took an offensive stance.

"It is your right."

Maria spoke, but instead agreed with the man's idea.

This surprised him greatly.

But even faster, he felt his line of sight rising higher and higher, and the coldness gradually enveloped his body.

How is this going?

The brain's ability to think gradually slowed down, and before the man could understand what was going on, his consciousness began to flash back rapidly again!

"Forehead……"

His body twitched, and the man suddenly fell to his knees, clutching his neck tightly with both hands.

The intense pain made him feel like his throat was covered with steel needles... His head and body seemed to be divided into two parts, and at this time they were connected by steel needles that penetrated the body!

The feeling of being beheaded made him feel extremely painful, but he was indeed alive...

"what happened?"

He squeezed the few words out of his throat.

"Hunting grounds...my ability."

Maria put down the weapon in her hand and walked towards the man step by step in the moonlight.

Her sharp pupils were hidden under the brim of her hat, and the man could only kneel down and watch her approach.

The leather shoes made a rustling sound as they stepped on the grass. The gentle waves that should have healed people's hearts were as terrifying as poison in the man's mind.

He retreated for a moment.

But the next moment, his pupils suddenly turned black.

When he came to his senses again, he screamed out in pain as his brain was pierced.

He frantically groped his temple.

But there wasn't a trace of blood on his hands...

The feeling of being pierced and the uninjured body formed a sharp contrast.

But he still doesn't understand what happened here!

What kind of Originium technique is this?!

With eyes wide open, the man looked at the woman in front of him frantically. Fear turned into a chill that spread throughout his body...

Maria, however, was very relaxed at this moment.

"This is Yharnam... my territory, the world of dreams."

"The...world of dreams?" The man stared blankly with wide eyes and a pale face.

The doll next to her, which looked almost identical to Maria, continued speaking quietly.

"Here, as long as you kill the opponent, you can take away something from them... abilities, memories, and even life."

"And the outsiders you pulled in here cannot escape unless they obtain your consent or defeat you... I'm sorry, kind hunter, I should have done better, but the umbilical cord is too short. I can only pull the target's soul in here..."

The puppet said this with his head down, a hint of self-blame showing on his delicate face.

But Maria turned the blade in her hand.

"No need to feel guilty, doll, you did a great job..."

"Although this ability reminds me of some bad things, but... a tool is a tool. If it's useful, we shouldn't dwell on how it works."

As she spoke, Maria turned around again, looking down at the man, and danced the weapon in her hand beautifully in a sword flower, making the man's face pale.

"Compared to these..."

A great fear spread into the man's heart!

"Wait a minute!"

He raised his hands and knelt down crying as if begging for mercy.

"I...I'm telling you, don't do it! Please don't..."

The feeling of death was not pleasant. Just two simple temptations had brought his spirit close to collapse.

It was only a matter of a moment, but his brain kept sending back the deep fear.

He didn't want to face this kind of thing again.

But his plea for mercy did not change Maria's expression.

She still had a cold expression on her face, and turned around to press the tip of the knife against the man's brow.

In the moonlight, her eyes were cold and peaceful.

Chapter 44: Integration Movement

"what have you done?"

Looking at the man kneeling and crying in front of him, Chen felt for the first time that his brain was not enough.

She was there the whole time when Maria was interrogating the man... She was sure that Maria didn't do anything and was just asking normal questions.

But the man's appearance has changed a lot.

He began to cry and laugh loudly, and would fall to the ground and twitch from time to time.

The only thing that is certain is that the man had a great fear of Maria.

No matter what Maria asked, he spit out a lot of answers in one breath, and while answering, he carefully looked at Maria's face.

Afraid that something would displease Maria.

This made Chen confused.

After thinking hard and still getting no results, she had no choice but to turn to Maria and ask her what she had done.

And Maria is also honest.

"I just killed him a dozen times..."

"Killed him? A dozen times?"

Chen looked at Maria with a calm expression, hesitated for a moment, and then curled his lips.

Obviously, Maria must have used some Originium technique whose effect she didn't know...but she just didn't want to say it.

Chen wanted to accuse Maria of lynching, but...it had already happened, and it was useless for her to accuse her.

After a moment of silence, she sighed.

She glanced at Maria with a reproachful look, then turned her head and stared at the man with a serious expression.

"Who are you? What's your purpose? Why are you causing trouble in the neighborhood?!"

"..." The man obviously did not have such awe for Chen, but when he saw Maria standing silently behind Chen, his face changed instantly, and then he quickly blurted out everything he knew.

"We...we are from the Reunion..."

"Reunion Movement?! Is it the Reunion Movement of Ursus?"

Chen frowned and his expression suddenly became serious.

On the other side, Maria moved closer to Chen.

"What is the Reunion Movement?"

Although she had heard the name of the Reunion Movement several times, Maria actually still didn't know what the Reunion Movement was doing.

"The Reunion Movement is an organization that protects the rights of the infected, originating in Ursus... I don't know their specific structure, but I remember that they were a moderate organization in the past. However, recently they have suddenly become extreme, harming innocent people everywhere... A while ago, they even planned an attack on a mobile city-state, which led to the forced disintegration of Chernobog."

"Although the outside world claims that Chernobog was struck by a natural disaster... in reality, the integration movement is definitely involved."

Chen explained to Maria in a low voice.

However, due to the height difference between the two, even if Maria lowered her waist, Chen had to tiptoe to be able to speak into her ear.

As she opened her mouth, the strange smell of incense assaulted her sense of smell.

After realizing that this might be emanating from Maria's body, her face also turned red.

Somewhat shy.
