For Mary, conducting the investigation itself wasn't particularly difficult. She first went to the Unified God Realm and questioned the Night Watch member responsible for guarding the Teleportation Gate. Then she traveled to that world and met with its governor... Perhaps Mary's proper manner and speech eased the governor's worries and suspicions. Or perhaps he truly felt there was nothing to hide, so he quickly explained Duanmu Huai's actions to her.
After compiling all the clues and intelligence, Mary immediately summoned the others and held a quick meeting.
"From the looks of it, there doesn't seem to be any major problem on this planet. At least, no problems have happened yet."
Mary tapped her notebook, but Lorena, sitting beside her, furrowed her brow.
"But we know that having no problems now doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. You've all seen the situation in the lower Hive City... At least Miss Zuo Niao doesn't think so, right?"
"That's right."
At Lorena's question, Minme Satori, who was gazing up at the sky as if admiring the scenery, nodded absentmindedly.
"Those aren't humans. It doesn't matter if we cut them down."
In fact, Mary and the others had originally planned to follow Duanmu Huai's patrol route and walk through it again. However, the moment they entered the Production Zone, Minme Satori's eyes lit up, and she tried to draw her sword and cut people down. Fortunately, Lorena and Ellie were quick enough to grab her and drag her away... Otherwise, who knew what might have happened?
Although Minme Satori's behavior was governed by a chaotic logic, the girls at least understood that she followed her own rules—she didn't kill humans, but she could kill nonhumans as she pleased. Of course, that logic was very much in line with the Inquisition.
