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

But... this is my home? Why do I have to worry about whether it's the right time to go back to my own home?

It’s said that Lao Chen would actually show such an expression... No wonder everyone says that love can change a person.

Turns out it’s true.

Chen stood at the door, lost in thought.

But Maria did what she had to do.

She got up from the bathroom without mercy, nodded to Xingxiong, left Chen who was about to cry, and walked out silently.

As for Maria's temper, Xingxiong didn't say much, but just looked at Chen in the bathtub helplessly with a subtle expression.

……

After leaving the bathroom and drying herself, Maria changed into her classic hunting suit.

This hunting suit has been with Maria for who knows how many years. It is a miracle that it has been preserved. Perhaps because it has been stained with too much strange things such as the blood of ancient gods, this suit now shows many unique characteristics.

For example, if it is stained with blood, it can actively absorb it, and if it is broken, it can repair itself. The contamination will only last for a period of time before it will become clean... In a sense, this thing can be regarded as an alternative creature.

After changing her clothes, Maria did not hesitate. She turned around and went back to the living room, sat upright on the sofa, and closed her eyes silently.

After a while, her consciousness gradually penetrated into her core, and she came to her senses again. She returned to her extremely familiar hunter's cabin.

At the door, the gentle doll had been waiting there for a long time.

"Hello again, kind hunter."

The puppet spoke, still with that barely noticeable smile on his face.

But Maria didn't think much about it at this time, she just lowered her head.

"That is how the matter?"

"Do you mean your companion just now?"

"You can really see outside..."

"I will answer you truthfully at any time you ask, suspicious hunter."

The doll's expression was tiny and delicate, but Maria could sense that she was a little dissatisfied with her tentative questioning.

After all, even if Maria asked a normal question, she would answer it without hiding anything.

This made Maria feel guilty for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Now that you've seen it, then... do you know what happened to her?"

Chen was in a very bad state just now.

At first Maria thought it was just the shyness of a shy girl.

But as time passed, she found that the other party's situation was obviously not that simple.

Those eyes...

"I smell the breath of a beast on her..."

Maria turned her head and looked at the doll beside her seriously.

It has been a while since Maria came to this world. Although she is not completely at ease, she has gradually learned to let go of her vigilance against beasts.

Although many people in this world have the characteristics of wild beasts, Maria did not sense any beastly smell from them.

And Chen originally didn't have it either.

But just now, when the two of them were taking a bath together, Maria suddenly smelled an unusual smell of blood!

There is no doubt that a bit of beast aura is spreading from Chen!

Maria couldn't understand this.

According to her understanding, the breath of the beast will only appear on people who have used blood therapy, and it will not appear suddenly, but will emit a unique breath after the first use. As time ferments, when it reaches a certain critical point, the breath will become disgusting and rotten.

But... I really didn't smell it.

When I was in the Guard Bureau before, when I was capturing the escaped members of the Reunion Movement at the factory before, and when I was eating before.

She was in close contact with the girl several times.

But she certainly didn't smell any different smell on the other person.

But just now, she felt the breath of the beast.

This instantly stimulated Maria's physical instincts.

She pinned the girl down, wanting to be sure.

And when she got closer, she could indeed smell it.

Although it was very faint, Chen's body indeed exuded the smell of an animal!

This made Maria feel irritated.

And that was when she was thinking about how to deal with Chen.

Star Bear is back...

This made Maria choose to retreat temporarily.

On the one hand, she didn't think that someone who had never seen the beast disaster would attack her old friend based on her one-sided story.

On the other hand, Maria couldn't understand why the other person suddenly had the aura of a beast.

So after she came out of the bathroom, she immediately looked for the doll.

After all, so far, only the doll can communicate with her.

When talking about the beast, the puppet's expression became a little more serious.

In response to Maria's question, the doll just shook its head silently.

"I don't have your talent. I can't tell these things apart."

"Then you just..."

"I just understand you, a simple hunter... I believe you would never do anything meaningless."

"...So, no clues?"

Maria lowered her head and pursed her lips, her brows slowly furrowed.

On the side, the gentle doll didn't say much, but just took Maria's hand and walked into the warm hunter's cabin.

And here, by the bonfire in the fireplace.

The geometric lens that had previously possessed Maria was now floating in the air... and with it, a carefully tailored maid costume was also floating.

It was dressed in a maid's outfit, cleaning up the broken ceramic pieces on the floor.

It looks like this thing was once a teacup...

"This is?"

Maria turned her head in confusion.

Although she possessed the abilities of the Outer Gods, those abilities were still too complex for Maria, who still maintained her human form, and her brain was simply unable to utilize those powers.

So the ones who take care of these are also puppets.

"I simply saw the useless thing attached to you and took it for use."

The doll spoke lightly, ignoring the little regret who was trying hard to clean over there, and took Maria to sit down.

"Although I'm not sure what exactly happened, I believe this didn't just happen suddenly. Kind hunter, we've left that nightmare behind. The things you worry about won't catch up with you anymore..."

"……I hope so."

Although she knew that the doll was comforting her, Maria still couldn't feel at ease.

The sudden smell of animality made her emotions a little confused.

Meanwhile, Xiao Baohan, who had been trying hard to clean up the broken pieces of the teacup, came back at this time.

After listening to the conversation between the two people, she thought for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.

"possible……"

Chapter 56: Originium Disease

"People influence each other... Even the simplest contact can have unpredictable consequences."

"Maria, no matter how much you claim to be human, your body is not something that an ordinary human can possess."

"I heard from the puppet before, Maria, you live in a world full of beastmen, right?"

"And it was those Outer Gods who caused the beast transformation... but later you slaughtered those gods and seized their power."

"Perhaps you don't intend to use this power, but... until you fully master it, the original imprint of this power will not disappear, but will gradually emanate with your contact."

"This Chen must have been affected by your power... This might be the reason why you smelled the beast's aura."

In the warm little room, a geometric figure wearing a maid uniform was explaining the reasons for everything to Maria and the doll.

It sounds a bit complicated, but specifically, although Maria has absorbed the Outer Gods into her body, their power is still radiating. Unless Maria fully masters that power, everyone around her will be transformed into a beast...

Things are back to square one.

"In other words, do we need to continue collecting umbilical cord control power..."

Maria nodded, understanding the situation.

but……

"Why only that detective girl?"

"Ok?"

"I've obviously spent more time with the others, but...why do I smell the scent of a beast from that detective girl?"

This is also a problem.

According to common sense, shouldn't the people who spend more time with her be Xingxiong or Penguin Logistics?

Why did I smell the scent of a beast on a girl I didn't have much contact with?

"This……"

Hearing Maria's question, Xiao Baohan couldn't give an answer.

She just scratched her head and hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Maybe... the contact wasn't close enough?"

"Ok?"

"You didn't have direct physical contact with anyone else, but with Miss Chen...

Xiao Baohan said this while cautiously glancing at the puppet beside him.

Just now when Maria was in the bathroom, she and the doll could see everything clearly in this small room.

Xiao Baohan felt that he would never forget the expression on the doll's face at that moment.

It was that expression that made her completely certain that the doll did come from the same place as Maria.

The murderous intent is about to seep out!

But fortunately, she quickly realized that Maria did not suddenly awaken some strange desire, but calmed down after examining the other person's body.

However, I still don't dare to provoke the other party easily.

After all, God knows what this seemingly gentle and yandere woman will do.

She would definitely not do anything bad to Maria... She knew that.

But as a little regret living here, her life will definitely be difficult.

"So... special?"

Maria was thoughtful.

After exchanging ideas with a few people, she did not stay in this space of consciousness for long and turned back to reality.

And here, not much time has passed.
