"Don't think about it so much, I know you have a lot of things to ask and a lot of things to tell me, and it just so happens that I have one too, and probably more than you." At the door of a building, Monica earnestly instructed, "Go back and rest for a few days first, and then come to me after you have rested." Don't worry about the node, we still have plenty of time now. ”

By this time, Babu had returned to Thor with Monica, the entrance to the Scavengers' headquarters, not far from the center of town.

This is a very inconspicuous small courtyard, compared to the nearby tall and powerful security team station, which is frequently entered and exited, and the garrison regiment with a deep ditch and a strong wall with a nailed wall and a military fortress, the scavenging team's station looks like a larger private house, and there are no guards, Babu met a total of two people in the building, and they were busy preparing for Monica's operation, so they didn't have time to pay attention to him. Come to think of it, it's said that this is an organization with a total of seven people counting itself, how lively can it be?

There are few people at the door, but there is a reason for this, according to the memory, the people of the scavenging team have been cursed, and if they get too close, they will incur disease and calamity, so no one wants to go near the station of the scavenging team. In the past, Babu may not have understood, but now that Babu has turned around in the edge, he has understood that the so-called curse is nothing more than that the scavenger is contaminated with the phantom pollution on the edge, that is, the red mist in his eyes, and this energy will have an impact on the body of ordinary people.

He also figured it out, no wonder when they first met, they felt a faint red mist and a strange fishy sweet smell oozing from Monica's body, which were all the phantom energy in the edge, which was a unique feature of the red mist, and the more frequent the entry and exit, the more it would be contaminated. It is estimated that he has a lot of stains on his body, Babu couldn't help but smell his body, he had just taken a shower and changed his clothes at the headquarters, and several wounds had been treated, and now he couldn't smell the smell of phantom pollution, only the faint smell of mucus and pus and blood, vomit!

Monica has also washed her body and changed into a simple long dress, although it is just an ordinary cloth dress, but wearing it on her body makes her look more tasteful. The wound was also treated, one leg was probably bandaged very tightly, and it was erect straight on the chair and could not move, but even so she was not honest, and she already had a beer glass in her hand, no wonder she smelled wine when we met last night.

Shake off the long hair with water droplets, take a big sip of bubbling beer, stretch your body in the bright sun, stretch lazily, and almost let out a lazy snoring sound. Squirming to change into a more comfortable position, Monica continued: "I'm not kidding, it's really more abundant. Although it was embarrassing this time, it was actually a big gain. First, although you can't directly observe the node, judging from the situation of that Roshan, there are at least second-level nodes below. Second, it seems that the node has just been generated and has not yet spread outward, if nothing else, we still have at least dozens of days to deal with it slowly. That's why I said, we don't have to be in as much of a hurry as I started to expect. ”

"Accident?" Báb asked rhetorically, "Like the kind of accident we had when we were suddenly discovered?" ”

The surroundings became quiet instantly, and neither of them spoke, and after a period of silence, Monica whispered: "I can't think of a reason, this is unreasonable, it stands to reason that we can't be discovered, and we don't need to be as embarrassed as we are now, and even almost lost our lives inside." ”

"I ......" Babu's mind flashed back to the evil thought he had sensed at that time, and it was after that evil thought that everything suddenly slipped, but after a little hesitation, he still hid the secret in his heart and did not continue.

"When you were on the road just now, you showed with practical actions that you don't plan to continue to hide secrets." Monica leaned forward and stared at Babu, her tone becoming more dangerous, "Are you ready to regret it now?" ”

"I took all the advance salary, and I was tied up by you, how dare I regret it." Babu shook the new money bag in his hand, which Monica took the initiative to pay, and it was called the settling-in fee, and Babu also tacitly did not refuse, "Don't worry, I won't regret it, but I still need a little time to think it through, well, give me a little more time." ”

Looking at Babu's back as it faded away, Monica didn't say anything more, waved her hand at it, and then stretched her body and leaned back on the chaise longue to look up at the sky.

"It's so tiring, it's so hard, but is there finally someone to share with me? That's nice. ”

In the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, an inaudible voice was muttering, accompanied by a throbbing pain from the wound, Monica closed her eyes and slowly relaxed her body.

"Whoa, whoa," Babu shook the money bag in his hand, he didn't know why, but he just thought it was one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. Enjoying the pleasant sound effects, Babu slowly walked out of the scavenging team's station and into this familiar and unfamiliar town.

The bazaar in the center of the town, the small garden behind the market, the government office on the hillside, the small fish pond under the hillside, the artisan market in the town, the grove outside the town, and the grass and trees in the whole town are all very familiar.

It seems that there is nothing to recall, just the same boring and boring small town life, not even simple emotions and exciting encounters, nothing new and unattractive. Babu opened his eyes and sighed, and walked into the bustling bazaar.

As soon as he entered the bazaar, a shadow blocked the sunlight, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a tall and strong man blocking the way in front of him. As soon as he saw the other party's appearance, Babu felt a dull pain on his face, and subconsciously touched his eye sockets, which were still a little swollen, and the black green must still be there, no wonder when he was covered in mucus but had a serious expression just now, the woman smiled so happily.

"Jayne?" Babu recognized that this was the guy who had beaten him up last night, one of his peers in town.

"Listen, y'all." The strong man Jayne's face was cloudy, his face turned red and hesitated for a moment, then he suddenly ran to the center of the market, jumped onto a carriage on the side of the road, waved his hands and shouted loudly, "Everyone pay attention, listen to me." ”

The sound was so loud that most of the market quickly fell silent, and Babu looked at his performance with a puzzled expression.

"I'm a coward, I'm a coward, I'm Jayne." After a hoarse roar, the brawny man Jayne jumped out of the carriage, ran away with his head in his hands, and the sound of his footsteps passed like a rhinoceros.

Silent.

Everyone in the bazaar looked at each other, and eventually, every eye was on Báb.

Babu also opened his mouth wide, pointing at Jayne's back, and then at himself, unable to utter a word, and now the only reaction in his mind was: this man must have something wrong with his brain.

Although it is inexplicable, it can't make people angry, but even the only remaining mustard that I didn't know for any reason before has disappeared, and all that is left is the angry and funny contradiction. Babu opened his mouth and pointed at Jayne's back, and before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a sudden commotion around him.

"Haha, I said why did he go here all morning today, it turned out that he was waiting for little Babu."

"Little Babu, I heard you were very brave yesterday."

"yes, I heard that you showed your power and saved Jessica?"

"Oops, yes, will Jessica help you become an adult now, hahahaha."

"How do you talk, you see that little Babu is embarrassed, little Babu don't listen to him, when Jessica helps you become an adult, you must tell us, we will help you come up with ideas, hahahaha."

For a while, the bazaar was filled with a cheerful air, and everyone around was laughing, whether they knew it or not, rubbing their hair, patting their shoulders, giving their thumbs up, and everyone surrounded Babu in the middle.

Especially those who have met at least a few times, they are not stingy with their goods, and from time to time someone stuffs something into Babu's bag and praises twice, as if his own child has become a hero, and after a while, Babu's burlap bag that he doesn't know when is stuffed in his hand is stuffed to the brim, and all kinds of food are estimated to be enough to eat for half a month.

Even though it's full, someone tries to stuff it a little more, the question is...... The uncle who sells bait over there, what are you doing there with earthworms? Be careful, I curse you for fishing with an empty rod every day. Babu snatched the bag and followed in Jayne's footsteps, holding a rhinoceros in his arms, leaving only the sound of distant laughter in his wake.

These guys are really ...... Is...... Thinking of Monica's question last night, the angry look on Babu's face gradually disappeared, and he sighed softly, even if these guys have become strangers, who can be ruthless enough to let them suddenly disappear one day?

What's more, not all of them are strangers, at least there is a little guy in the house who is not a stranger.

Touching the bulging bag, so much food that doesn't cost money, the little guy will definitely be happy, and the appearance of the little guy in his memory automatically comes to mind.

The memory of this body ten years ago is still in a vague state, and the appearance of his parents and family has long been unknown, but this little guy who was adopted by his parents since he was a child has been dependent on the previous Babu for ten years, and everything about her has become the deepest memory in Babu's heart, even if it has changed now, but when he thinks of this little thing, Babu still can't help but smile.

Pinching the bag full of food, Babu himself sped up without understanding why, forget it, since the remaining will is so resolute, then let him go.

Following the memory, soon 17 Merlin Street appeared at the end of the long street, a dilapidated wooden house, but it made Báb's heart warm.

It's home.

Deftly opening the door, Babu entered the house, and as soon as he entered, there was a narrow living room, empty, and the sunlight filtered through the narrow windows, making the cottage appear rather bright.

"Da-da", the sound of slow footsteps, accompanied by the sound of wood knocking on the floor, came from behind the door at the other end of the living room, the sound was getting closer and closer, and the living room door was finally pushed open.

Then, a wooden pole slammed on the ground and protruded from behind the door, followed by a small, thin figure.
