The axe is windy.

Babu chopped at least twenty axes.

Driven by the strange energy, it not only wanders in the body, but even infuses the axe, making it indestructible.

Although the monster's muscles and skin are very tough, they have lost the support of their bones and cannot fight against the axe at all, and after the sharp axe, the limbs are separated.

Every time the axe was chopped down, at least one of the limbs was detached, the eight tentacles were cut off, and it became more than thirty segments, the limbs and heads fought separately, and even the torso was divided into several pieces, and soon it was motionless, and all the corpses were scattered on the ground, and the heavy smell of blood was disgusting.

"Whew, whew", Babu gasped slightly, the effect of the attack comparable to a chainsaw was quite satisfactory, Babu quickly adjusted his breathing, and the axe brushed aside the corpse pieces that stood in the way, and walked towards the hostess.

The waitress's tear-stained face, which had already shown the joy of seeing hope, suddenly froze, and she didn't even have time to speak, but she had time to point her finger at Babu.

"Smack", Babu only felt his ankles tighten, and as soon as he lowered his head, a hand covered with sarcoma had already grabbed his ankle. Not only the hands, but also several tentacles of different thicknesses, forcibly spliced together like a child's clumsy puzzle work, extending backwards to the ground.

At the same time, corpses all over the ground suddenly rose into the sky, several tentacle tips first, and other corpse pieces followed, with a high-speed scream, and rushed towards Babu.

Trying to dodge, his steps were restricted, and he wanted to split the restricted wrist, but it was too late, Babu suddenly leaned back, his knees suddenly bent back, and his whole body was folded at a right angle with his knees as the axis, temporarily avoiding the pursuit of the corpses.

But some of the corpses quickly turned in the air, staring at the target of Babu with perseverance, and smashed down with heavy force, while the other part, the tips of the tentacles, chose the waitress and screamed and launched a piercing ejection.

A moment of life and death.

The two of them reached the most critical moment at the same time, and Babu himself could save his life this time, and then took the opportunity to break free from the shackles of the severed hand and completely get out of danger, but the hostess would definitely die. Of course, he can also choose to try to get enough of the hostess, maybe there is a chance to save her temporarily, but it will be difficult to save himself, and in the end, the two of them will lose their lives together.

How to choose, it goes without saying.

But the Báb was not reconciled, only the children made the choice, and the adults wanted all.

He bent his body to the ground, stretched his body and stretched out his hand towards the hostess, of course, there was still a short distance to touch the other party.

At this time, the muscles of Babu's grabbed right leg suddenly trembled, and with a few soft clicks, the joints of the knee and hip joints detached, making his entire right leg elongate a lot out of thin air.

With this sudden elongation, Babu's hand managed to grab the waitress's ankle, and in the screams of pain that the other party finally couldn't hold back, he forcibly dragged her into his arms and out of the range of the corpse.

While protecting the hostess, Babu had already raised the axe in his other hand, using the axe to solve the most threatening pieces, protecting his body with strange energy, and resisting the remaining ones with little threat. This is Babu's plan, to survive the death, to buy a round of time, and then find a way to break the game.

But the axe suddenly paused in the air, and Babu froze for a moment.

Because with the urgency of his heart, it seemed that a string in his brain had broken, and immediately, the space in his field of vision suddenly became two.

One is a normal space, in a tavern, hostesses, monsters, the wreckage of tables and chairs all over the floor, everything familiar and strange.

The other is a strange space, the background can't be seen clearly, the whole space is filled with a thick blood-colored mist, these fogs and the blood mist that came out of the monster's body at the beginning should be very deeply related, not only exuding a similar fishy sweet smell, but also always having some kind of weird resonance.

The two spaces are clearly overlapping, but they are independent of each other, they are twisted together in all directions, devouring each other, squeezing each other, and always entangled.

The boundary of the two spaces touching each other has been moving relative to each other and has never stopped, but Babu can see at a glance that there is only one point on the boundary that has never stopped, and it has always maintained a relatively static state.

From start to finish, it has never changed.

Babu didn't know what he was seeing, and the threat of corpses was imminent, but it occurred to him that he let go of his axe and swung his fist at the still spot in his vision.

"Bang", a punch hit.

The two spaces in the field of vision shattered like mirrors, and Babu's eyes returned to normal, and the corpses flying everywhere seemed to be suddenly drained of strength, crackling and falling to the ground, and the sarcomas on the tentacles and body surfaces quickly shrank, and soon turned into large patches of pus and blood, leaving only stumps and internal organs, making the tavern feel like hell for a while.

The crisis was temporarily lifted, but Babu was a little stunned for a moment, just now when he smashed two strange spaces with one punch, he seemed to sense several different wills at the same time, fleeting, and vague senses, he couldn't even be sure if it was his own illusion.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in his ears, and the sound of three horses approached rapidly from afar, and farther away, the noise mixed with the barking of dogs, also aimed at the tavern. Babu smiled wryly, it seems that no matter which world, the person who controls the situation will always be one step too late.

But whether it was too late or not, at least for the time being, Babu finally let out a long breath, patted the waitress beside him, gave her a thumbs up again, and smiled at her. The moment he saw her, the fragments of memory flashed in front of his eyes again.

Babu had figured out that the memories of this body in recent years had always been stored in his mind, but after all, they were not the past that his soul had really experienced, so if he didn't take the initiative to recall, it would just be stored there, and he would never be able to remember. It is similar to recalling an event or a word in a targeted manner, and you can know the specific content, but if you don't even know the event or the word itself, then the memory is impossible to talk about at all.

For example, the hostess named Jessica, when she saw her clearly, memories of her came out of Babu's head.

The hostess Jessica didn't know what Babu was thinking, her eyes were blank at this point, and she was even a little confused. The broken leg was black and purple, swollen as thick as an elephant's leg, the limb was getting colder and colder, the wound had changed from severe pain to numbness, and there were bouts of dizziness in front of him from time to time, and he barely maintained his consciousness by strong support. But even though she might be unconscious at any moment, her hand still tugged at Babu's arm tightly, like a life-saving straw, and she refused to let go no matter what.

Babu instinctively was a little unaccustomed to it, and wanted to shake off Jessica's hand, but her wrist moved, and finally she stopped with a sigh, and grabbed it if she wanted to, anyway, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance was already outside the door.

"Bang", the gate that had been broken before, finally finished its life, was knocked to pieces, the sound of horses' hooves had not stopped, and a dark shadow had already rushed into the tavern and landed in front of Barbu and Jessica. At the same time as he landed, the shield was already erected in front of him, his body was half-crouching, and the one-handed sword on the other side was already on the side of the shield, which could be split out at any time.

The man who came looked to be about forty years old, with a majestic and unsmiling face, a serious and uninteresting look, and a very skillful tactical move, as if he had done it countless times.

Babu knew this person, the head of the garrison regiment, Gauss, when he wanted to join the garrison a few days ago, he was the same person, who felt that he was timid and afraid of things and did not take responsibility, and refused his request on the grounds that the garrison regiment did not want water armor beasts, and let himself be ridiculed a lot.

Confirming that there was no danger on the surface, Gauss stood up again, looked at Babu with a complicated expression, and then at the waitress, moved his lips to say something, and finally swallowed back, turned his head to the door and raised his voice: "Safe for the time being." ”

The sound of horses' hooves had stopped, and the other two men walked in, looking familiar, but Babu couldn't call names, they were probably members of the garrison.

One of them walked quickly to the two of them to check on their injuries, and with a few skillful movements helped Barb attach the dislocated joint, and then began to concentrate on Jessica, while the other began to examine the stump and pus on the ground, with great care.

"Is it the Illusory Pollution?" Gauss's voice was deep and steady.

"Well, that's where the pollution comes from." The examiner wore gloves and pinched a ring from the shredded clothes, "No purified edge equipment. ”

"Why wasn't it purified?"

"I don't know, this is someone from the security team, it is estimated that when the scavenging team returned to pass through their outpost two days ago, he stole it easily, and it is not that similar things have happened before."

"That's not right, there haven't been any edge shock warnings lately." Gauss asked with a heavy face, "There is no ordinary warning, let alone an edge shock warning above level 3, how can it activate the phantom world pollution?" ”

"I can't explain that." The inspector shook his head, "The scavenging team should know what's going on, if something like this happens, Captain Monica is probably on the way, so I'll ask him later." ”

"Hmm." Gauss turned his gaze to Báb, hesitated, and walked over.

In fact, Babu barely understood what the two of them said just now, and he rarely heard of those terms in his memory, and at most he only had a vague impression, which was probably not something that ordinary townspeople could touch in his past. The word edge concussion has been used several times, and it is said to be a very serious catastrophic event, and the family of this body was killed in the concussion disaster ten years ago, leaving only a little girl who had just been adopted and depended on herself.

Perhaps it was because too much time had passed, and the memory of ten years ago was extremely vague, and Babu had never been able to check it, so he understood at most a third of the conversation between the two, and could only watch Gauss walk in front of him in confusion.

Walking in front of him, Gauss stared at Babu condescendingly, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and Gauss finally made a move.

Bow deeply, bow to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I have to apologize and apologize for my previous actions."

Babu really didn't expect that this old-fashioned and serious guy's first sentence would be this.

"I'm not sure what happened, but I can see that you could have escaped early as Jayne said, but you didn't, you ......" Gauss's gaze turned to Jessica, "You're just a novice to Source Energy yourself, but you still chose to turn around and save her." Can you tell me what you think about it? ”

"I was indeed a coward in the past, cowardly and fearful, and did not take responsibility." The unexpected attitude made Babu scratch his head with a wry smile, and added in his heart that he was not a good person, and then put away his smile and said, "But there are some things...... I'm a man, at least, I can't do it. ”
