I Want to Go Out and Play Too.

"But..."

"Theresis has already left Kazdel..."

Theresa spoke, her smile quite genuine.

Kal'tsit still had some concerns.

"But... those people from the Military Committee..."

"They went with Theresis too."

Theresa answered calmly.

This startled Kal'tsit for a moment, then she looked at Maria beside her with a look of astonishment.

'You killed them all?'

These words almost instantly rose to Kal'tsit's throat, but after a long pause, she ultimately said nothing, shook her head slightly, and chose to remain silent.

She finally realized that no matter how crazy Maria was, she couldn't possibly have killed so many people.

The most likely explanation is that during the time I was away, these two people did something that forced Theresis out of Kazdel.

This made Kal'tsit, while remaining silent, also feel a greater sense of respect for Maria.

Even though you beat me up before, you're still pretty capable...

Theresa, who was standing to the side, didn't dwell on the topic any longer, but instead turned to look at Kal'tsit.

"The person you're looking for... is on this ship, right?"

"... Um."

Getting back to the main point, Kal'tsit no longer looked relaxed.

She hesitated for a moment, nodded, then turned and led the two people forward.

After bypassing the familiar defensive equipment, the two quickly arrived at the familiar coffin-like life support pod.

Perhaps having learned from her previous experience, Kal'tsit did not open the can directly this time. Instead, she simply adjusted the still-running equipment nearby and, after confirming the identity of the person inside, took a deep breath.

"Is it the same as last time?"

Theresa noticed Kal'tsit's nervousness and immediately smiled and spoke up.

Her gentle demeanor makes her the perfect ideal girlfriend.

Kal'tsit was also reminded of these words.

After a moment, she nodded slightly.

"It's alright, she should... be gentler."

At this point, Kal'tsit couldn't help but glance at Maria beside her.

The woman's words about Maria being able to understand them were still echoing in her mind, and she still didn't know Maria's true identity.

The only saving grace is that Maria harbors no ill will towards them... otherwise, Kal'tsit really wouldn't know how to face her.

Maria noticed Kal'tsit's gaze, but she didn't bother to make any promises. Instead, she took a small step back, extended her hand, and gestured for Kal'tsit to move freely, indicating that she wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

And under everyone's watchful eyes, Kal'tsit slowly opened the life support pod.

Inside, the woman Maria truly knew slowly opened her eyes.

When she spoke, she asked the exact same question the woman had uttered when she awoke.

Where is Priestess?

358

Chapter 358 I also want to go out and play.

As the Doctor awoke, she asked the exact same question as the previous woman.

It was only at this point that Maria finally learned the woman's name.

"Priestess..."

Maria frowned, her expression subtle.

In her context, this name... refers to a priestess.

Remnants of Precursor Civilization... a mysterious style... Originium Project... Great Beast...

[Priestess]

Maria narrowed her eyes slightly.

Individually, these keywords wouldn't be a big deal for Maria, but when put together, they made her vaguely sense something unusual.

But in the end, she said nothing, only slightly turning her head to look at the Doctor.

After the Doctor woke up, she also found that the people at the scene were very different from those in her memory, and her brows immediately furrowed.

Fortunately, the familiar presence of Kal'tsit beside her brought her some sense of security.

Immediately, she murmured and looked at the other person.

"Kal'tsit..."

"I'm here."

Like a fledgling returning to its nest, she cautiously took a step forward, but seemed at a loss, her hands clasped together, and she took a small step back.

He dared not meet the woman's gaze.

"What's wrong, Kal'tsit?"

The woman seemed to know Kal'tsit well; she spoke softly and gently, unlike the woman who had just asked everyone where Priestess was. Her gentle demeanor was more like that of a teacher.

She reached out her hand, trying to come out and approach Kal'tsit.

However, it is clear that after being in a deep sleep for an unknown period of time, even with this seemingly mysterious life support system, she could not possibly maintain the same level of health she had when she first entered the system.

After instinctively lifting her legs in the first step, she had no idea that they could no longer support her body.

His body went limp and he collapsed to his knees.

When Kal'tsit saw this, her face turned pale, and the hair on her ears stood on end at a visible speed.

She darted forward, her body transforming into a green blur, and quickly caught the woman, looking over with a panicked expression.

But even faster, she noticed that the woman's eyes were closed and her breathing was weak and rapid.

This intense experience triggered a chain reaction in her body.

This puzzled Kal'tsit.

"This?!"

Almost instinctively, Kal'tsit reached out and pressed her hand firmly against the woman's chest.

Feeling her heartbeat grow weaker and weaker, her spirits sank to rock bottom.

While there were problems when Priestess appeared, it was clear that the Doctor's problems were far more serious than Priestess's at this point.

If treatment is not initiated immediately, it could very well lead to death!

But after only a few breaths, she raised her head again, her gaze sharp.

"Go notify the medical staff..."

Theresa, who was standing nearby, wanted to call the doctor to come and examine her.

But Kal'tsit firmly refused.

"No need, Your Highness."

"But..."

"Please believe me, Your Highness!"

Kal'tsit was unusually flustered... The last time she acted this way was when she witnessed the danger posed by the Skyborne Great Beast Gordan, and before that, when she was brutally beaten by Maria.

But neither of those instances brought as much surprise as the current health problems the Doctor is experiencing.

At this moment, she stared intently at Theresa, her words carrying a hint of pleading.

Even Theresa, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a while. In the silence, she raised her eyes.

Do you need help?

"... No need, Your Highness."

Kal'tsit was silent for a moment, then looked at the woman in her arms with her brows furrowed, a hint of heartache appearing on her face, but she still answered the other's question with a firm attitude.

Unnecessary.

"... I see."

Theresa was not a dull person.

After a moment of solemn silence, she tilted her head slightly and smiled at Kal'tsit.

"I trust you."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving everything here to Kal'tsit.

She knew perfectly well that Kal'tsit's refusal at this moment must have been due to her own secret, a secret she certainly didn't want anyone to know.

She was willing to trust Kal'tsit and not investigate what the secret was.

Now that Kal'tsit has made her own judgment, it is enough for me to choose to support and believe her...

This brought a look of gratitude to Kal'tsit's face.

Maria, who was standing nearby, had also been thinking of leaving with Theresa, completely entrusting the place to Kal'tsit.

But Kal'tsit spoke up first.

"Maria... you know Originium Arts related to blood, right?"

Kal'tsit looked at Maria... This was one of the rare times she had directly communicated with Maria.

What happened back then was a significant psychological trauma for her, but all of that made her give up at this moment.

Saving the Doctor's life is clearly more important than those things.

"... Is there anything I can do?"

Intelligent people don't need too much of a process to communicate. Since Kal'tsit raised this question, Maria understood that the other party needed this ability.

As for Originium Arts that manipulate blood, she doesn't possess those, but she does have a similar ability...

Theresa paused for a few moments before leaving the room completely, leaving the two of them alone.

Kal'tsit didn't waste any words, tearing at the woman's cumbersome clothes while asking questions.

"Could you temporarily bypass some of her blood vessels?"

"Can..."

That's enough.

Kal'tsit truly lives up to her Kal'tsit. Although Maria has never seen her treat other people, every move she makes exudes professionalism.

Maria was also on the side, quietly supporting Kal'tsit.

The Xubai light did not affect Kal'tsit's cutting speed. From beginning to end, she gritted her teeth and kept cutting and stitching.

Sweat gradually appeared on her forehead and other parts of her body, but she could only deal with it roughly and then continue to perform the surgery.

Time passed by like that, and I don't know how much time had gone by.

The Doctor's face remained pale, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Even under these circumstances, Kal'tsit gritted her teeth and fought as if she were battling death, seizing every second she could to investigate the fatal problems within her opponent's body.

Until the end...

"Call..."

Kal'tsit let out a long breath, looking at the slightly bloodied woman in front of her, she pursed her lips, feeling a pang of heartache.

The surgery I just had was also a full-body checkup.
