Exactly.
The moment Maria appeared, Su Ye had noticed something was wrong.
There had been over a dozen people in the group. Everyone else had died in the jaws of monstrous beasts, so how could an eight- or nine-year-old girl with no power whatsoever have survived?
Forget that nonsense about hiding in a hollow tree.
A hollow tree was nothing before a monstrous beast's claws.
And the scent of a human could never escape a monstrous beast's nose.
What was more...
Over a dozen people had all died in the same place. Had none of them known to run?
Had the beasts killed all of them in an instant?
But if they had really all been killed together, why had one little girl been left in a hollow tree?
Could someone in the group have foreseen the future, hidden the girl in the tree before the beasts appeared, and then waited to die alongside everyone else?
He had to say, the little girl Maria's appearance was truly... riddled with holes!
As they spent time together afterward, even more inconsistencies had cropped up.
A little girl whose entire family had died had cried so hard she fainted from grief, yet she also had a ravenous appetite and could easily eat an adult's portion.
After learning her mother was dead, she had not even tried to identify her mother's remains, much less keep any of her belongings as a memento. She had simply buried her mother's bones together with everyone else's.
There was another glaring problem... A girl of only eight or nine could not speak the Feng Ying language and could not even read some of the hotel's signs in that language, yet she spoke perfect Federation Standard and communicated with Xu Yinyin without any trouble.
Of course, stranger still...
