Maybe It Really Is a Love from a Past Life?

The Doctor beside him tilted his head, revealing a simple and honest look.

"So I was seriously injured and lost my memory, not beaten into amnesia by this old lynx?"

I don't know.

Kal'tsit let out a long sigh.

She, who is known for knowing many secrets, also has some things she doesn't know. For example, with the previous attackers, she not only failed to warn of their appearance, but she didn't even know what organization they belonged to.

Although she had a rough guess, Kal'tsit didn't really want to say it directly, considering her own and the Doctor's relationship with her.

After thinking for a few moments, she gave her answer.

"They... call themselves Gordan..."

Chapter 380 Perhaps it really is a predestined relationship from a past life?

"They... call themselves Gordan."

Kells spoke, causing Maria to furrow her brow slightly.

She paused for a moment, then reached out and gently tapped the table.

The other people in the cafeteria gradually noticed that the atmosphere was becoming somewhat cold. They exchanged glances, and after a moment, silently sped up their eating and left.

Before long, there weren't many operators left around them.

"Ge... dan?"

Maria pondered, then whispered again.

Kal'tsit nodded in agreement.

"Yes, based on the intelligence we have so far, they have directly identified themselves as Gordan."

"Their internal structure is currently unclear, but it is at least certain that they distinguished their social status by the patterns on their clothing."

The sound of fingers tapping on the table lingered slightly, which was somewhat irritating.

"Clatter..."

With Maria's final tap, she raised her head and looked at Kelsey.

"You should know what this name means, right?"

When Maria and Priestess traveled together before, she told me that the name "Gordan" had remained the same from the Precursor Civilization to the present...

This could be due to Gordan's uniqueness, or it could be that Kal'tsit passed down the name from Precursor Civilization to the present.

But regardless, one thing is certain: Kal'tsit must have known what the name Gordan meant.

"I know."

Kal'tsit also unusually showed some signs of headache and remained silent.

From the moment she was born, she knew just how terrifying Gordan was... Although she had never met him, and even while carrying out her mission, she misjudged his potential danger, almost causing the corruption of an entire legion of 400,000.

But now she understands that the thing is a monster that no individual or even a small group can fight against.

So when she discovered that these people called themselves Gordan, she was quite frightened.

Especially at that time, the Doctor was asleep, Priestess was lurking in the shadows, Theresa was searching for the First Originium, Maria was missing, and he had to be wary of Theresis, investigate the enemy, find a way to nurture Amiya, and support Rhodes Island when several of the bigwigs were away.

She's so anxious she's practically falling out of her skin!

Fortunately, she pulled through and also uncovered some things in the process.

"They do possess some strange powers... the system of those powers is peculiar, but I can confirm that they were not generated by Gordan."

Kal'tsit paused as she spoke.

Seeing Maria's suggestive look, she continued.

"We've fought Gordan for many years, so I'm certain that these people's power doesn't come from Gordan ... This name might just be an accident?"

Kal'tsit said, though she herself was somewhat uncertain.

After all, this matter can be explained from both positive and negative perspectives.

These people may indeed be related to Gordan, but Gordan did not give them direct power. Instead, he used other methods to interfere with and help them gain combat power.

It's also possible that these people have nothing to do with Gordan at all, but are simply a group of lunatics who found the name in some ancient texts and used it as a code name—just like someone might name their army after a cheetah or a tiger.

It's even possible that these people just randomly picked this name!

All of these are possible.

All I can say is...

"We still know too little."

Maria frowned and, in a slow, deliberate tone, offered her assessment of Kal'tsit's actions.

This made Kal'tsit somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, Maria didn't mean to embarrass him; after a pause, she continued speaking.

Where are those people now? Have you found anything out?

Regardless of their motives, Maria had to take them seriously since they dared to call Gordan.

When dealing with Great Ones, any degree of vigilance is simply necessary.

There was no overreaction.

"... Sorry, I don't know."

Kal'tsit shook her head.

"After the battle, we did capture some people, but before we could interrogate them, we discovered they had all committed suicide..."

"After that lead went cold, we rarely got any information about them until... recently."

Kal'tsit spoke, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

"Recent?"

Maria paused.

Where they are right now.

It is the core of the Great Yan... Hundred Stoves.

Kal'tsit means...

"We recently received some intelligence from our outpost operators, which confirms that the group calling themselves Gordan has some connection with the Shanhai Assembly within the Great Yan."

Kal'tsit spoke, she threw out the name of another organization that none of them had ever heard of.

But Maria frowned after a few moments of surprise.

"The Shanhai Assembly?"

"Do you know anything about this?"

Kal'tsit was somewhat surprised to see Maria in this state.

The Shanhai Assembly organization isn't exactly a niche entity, but it's certainly not mainstream either.

There are many units in this world that worship Great Beast, but most of them are very secretive and only operate in certain areas.

The so-called "Shanhai Assembly" is the name given to an organization active within the territory of the Great Yan.

Maria had always shown wariness and vigilance towards the Great Beast, so it was no surprise that Kal'tsit knew about the Shanhai Assembly.

But judging from Maria's behavior, it seems she knows more than just that.

"I'd say I've fought against them."

Maria paused for a few moments before giving her answer.

Lamaline to the side, was also somewhat curious.

"You lived in... the Great Yan?"

"Um."

Maria nodded in agreement.

"I've spent some time here and... met some nice people."

"Including that Miss Shu?"

Lamaline chuckled softly, her face beaming, but her eyes held no real joy.

Clearly, Lamaline's magnanimity has a very subtle and flexible nature.

But when she said those words, it was Theresa who felt embarrassed.

Their eyes met, and both of them simultaneously revealed subtle smiles.

Clearly, Lamaline's sudden outburst wasn't just directed at Shu.

"Well... I guess I have some connection with their elders?"

Maria for a moment, then shook her head.

She didn't have many thoughts about Shu, or rather, the goodwill she showed towards the Sui Family, apart from some familiar ones, all came from Sui.

After all, her relationship with Sui was a mixture of friendship, comradeship, and various subtle emotions... which made Maria quite fond of Sui's presence.

This sentiment extends to the entire Sui Family.

It has a feeling of loving the house because of its owner.

"But no matter what..."

Seeing that the two of them had fallen into a mundane, domestic conversation again, Kal'tsit reluctantly changed the subject, pausing for a few moments before continuing.

"That group calling themselves Gordan attacked Rhodes Island when it was weakened. They must pay the price for their actions. This trip to Great Yan is not only to gain the goodwill of the Great Yan government, but we must also investigate who these people are and what their purpose is."

Kal'tsit spoke, thus explaining Rhodes Island's purpose in coming here.

Lamaline to the side, nodded silently.

"The Banshees has always been your partner..."

"Go ahead and do it, Kal'tsit, I believe in you."

Theresa's voice was weak but firm.

Even the Doctor who often clashed with the other party nodded seriously at this moment.

"Just charge in!"

As she spoke, her words, though somewhat crude, were nonetheless an expression of her support for Kal'tsit.

This caused Kal'tsit's eyes to flicker, which was unusual for her.

After thinking for a moment, Maria nodded.

"If you don't mind, I can help you out..."

"This..."

Even though everyone's support was good, the expressions in their eyes became subtle after Maria spoke.

Aside from the Doctor... because she knows nothing.

"Well... actually, it's not necessary yet."

Theresa's expression was complicated.

After all, based on what she knew of Maria, once Maria made her move, she basically left no survivors.

Although she was confident that she and her group could persuade Great Yan to grant them certain auxiliary law enforcement authority, given the things Maria might do, it would probably be difficult to clean up the mess later.

Even Lamaline, who always trusted Maria the most, looked at her with certainty.

Maria's intervention had far-reaching consequences.

Based on the current situation, it's not yet time for Maria to intervene.

Kal'tsit, however, gave a more rational answer.
