It's hard to tell which comes first and which comes last, but it's better to say that two things happen at the same time.

Babu let go of his left hand, and as he let go, he also saw the whip coming from behind.

As soon as the hand was released, Anna's tiny body slid down little by little, and the tentacles were getting closer and closer to Babu's left chest.

At the same time, a long whip was coming from behind and landed right next to Babu's other hand on the side of his waist, and Babu's hand had already grasped the tip of the whip, and the whip and hand were used at the same time to make Babu begin to move to the side and back.

By the time the tentacles arrived, Babu had already removed the fatal part, but no one knew for sure whether he would be seriously injured.

And there will never be an answer, because at this moment, Babu sensed the malice again, and the malice seemed to be sending out a threatening and unwilling roar, and then in the next moment, the two worlds that appeared in front of Babu's eyes at the same time suddenly shattered, and then the vision returned to normal, turning back to that familiar town.

The anomalies around him also came to an abrupt end.

It's not that everything has stopped, it's just that the mutation has stopped, and everything else continues.

The attacking tentacles were still there, but they seemed to have lost their strength support, and only inertia remained, hitting Babu on the left shoulder, making him feel like he had been punched in the chest, and did not suffer penetrating damage.

The shadows are still there, and although they are not visible from the outside, they are still there when they enter the room, but they seem to have suddenly lost momentum, moving from moving to freeze, the sculpture generally maintains its final posture and does not move, and the shadows are rapidly fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they can no longer be observed.

The whip was still there, and because the master was too urgent and forceful, Babu was dragged up and flew up, and slammed into Monica behind him, and the two rolled together among the rubble of the ruined bricks, turning into a disheveled and gray face.

As for little Anna, of course, she was still there, but the poor child lost his support in his sleep and finally fell heavily to the ground. This time finally woke up Anna, who had been asleep, and the little guy was obviously a little dazed, and sat up slowly, groping on the ground with both hands blankly, his nose constantly twitching to search for the smell, and his little face wrinkled together, revealing an expression that was about to cry.

Fortunately, just before the tears flowed, the little guy made a move, sniffed a few times, and then crawled towards Babu, who was still holding Monica, on all fours, faster than the shadow monster just now.

"Whew", the little guy was as fast as lightning, almost crashed into Babu's arms, and the octopus climbed up to Babu's body, reoccupied the position of his chest, and once again became Babu's exclusive chest pendant.

This knocked both Babu and Monica to their senses, and the two rolled into a ball of limbs before they intertwined, and then the phenomenon of the strange thing gradually fading and disappearing. The strange change made the two of them a little stunned for a while, and they watched in a daze as the shadows faded into nothingness, and their brains realized that the danger seemed to be gone, everything was over temporarily, and everyone was finally safe.

At this time, looking at each other's postures, the breath on each other's faces made the atmosphere seem a little weird, so weird that the two even forgot to separate for a while and got up again......

Then the chest pendant crashed into it and reoccupied its territory.

The two of them woke up like a dream, got up in a panic, looked like they were in a hurry, and wanted to say something, but no one said anything after a few dry coughs, their eyes dodged everywhere, and they never wanted to gather together.

"I ......"

"You ......"

"Outside ......"

However, at this time, the little guy in Babu's arms moved again, she suddenly showed a suspicious look, took a few deep breaths in Babu's arms, and then raised her head vigilantly, gently twitched her nose, and gradually approached Monica's position with her upper body.

Smell, smell, smell.

Recalling the conversation with little Anna about the smell of perfume when he returned home at noon, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Babu's heart, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

Little Anna was like a cat guarding her food, protecting Babu with both hands, and her head rubbed on Babu's chest for a while, leaving her own smell, and then bared her teeth in Monica's direction, with a very, very vicious expression.

"Poof, it's funny that this kid is still jealous." As Anna made a fuss, the awkward atmosphere between the two disappeared, Monica stretched out her finger with great interest, trying to poke little Anna's face, but before she could poke it, she immediately retracted her finger, letting the little guy bite into the air.

"Don't bully Anna." Babu waved Anna away from that hateful finger, pointed out and said, "It's ...... Safe? ”

"Maybe." Monica shrugged her shoulders and poked her head out of the hole in the wall with Babu, just as Victor and Suni outside were also about to come in, and the two sides met with a pair of messages, confirming that the trickery outside had completely dissipated, Monica turned around and raised her voice, and shouted loudly to the townspeople hiding in the building, "Everyone, the monster has faded, the support of the garrison will come soon, and the security officers of the security team, the follow-up affairs will be accepted by them, everyone is safe." ”

Silently, there was a dead silence in the building, and after a few seconds of silence, a cheer erupted in the building. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a sea of cheers, and in an instant, the burst of cheers almost toppled the crumbling roofs, and for a moment, waving arms and weeping townsfolk could be seen everywhere.

"Monica, Monica......"

"Babu, Babu......"

The scene of hundreds of people shouting their names in unison startled the support troops who came one after another, and they thought that they were about to riot, but looking at the excitement of this group of people who survived the catastrophe, no one could bear to stop them.

However, the owners of these two names did not celebrate with the crowd, and they had already entered the guardhouse on the second floor of the security station, looking through the window at the gradually brightening sky outside, and no one could smile on their faces.

"Not all police posts have been attacked."

As the window closed, the smile on Monica's face faded to reveal deep concern. As you can see through the window, there are more and more support troops. At first, only seven or eight people from the garrison group arrived, and after discovering that the situation was critical, they continued to ask for help and began to launch an assault on the strange group. As a result, the enemy suddenly disappeared halfway through, making everyone wonder if they were even dreaming, and the follow-up support was also in vain. It was from the mouths of these people who fluttered into the air that Monica got this message.

"Actually, we were the only ones who were attacked. It's another perverse performance, the situation has been too abnormal for the past two days. ”

"We can think on the bright side, at least this edge shock is over, let's hold on, no one died." Babu let the little Anna in his arms lie on his chest and play with his fingers, and said with emotion, "It's thrilling, fortunately it ended in time, did the previous shocks end so suddenly?" ”

"Of course not, I'm more surprised than you do." Monica smiled bitterly, "Normally, there is a process and signs of edge oscillation, whether it starts or ends, and it is impossible for it to suddenly erupt to the first stage, let alone end suddenly." Therefore, the two edge shocks yesterday and today, whether it is frequency or always, including the performance during the period, that is, only the fact that we were attacked here, are full of anomalies, especially the process of ending, how can the shock stop so easily, just kidding. ”

"Actually, it ended abruptly yesterday, maybe, uh, for some special reason." Babu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say that it might have ended up being smashed by my punch, thinking of the malice he had just felt many times, Babu asked tentatively, "But today, do you say is it possible to ......?"

"If you are sure but don't want to say something, you can not say it, I have no opinion, but if you are not sure, if you have any doubts, just say it." Monica Zhengse said, "Regarding the edge, no one dares to call themselves experts, everyone is actually just relying on groping, so if you have a question, ask it, no matter how bizarre the question, maybe you are right?" ”

"Well, in fact, I just want to ask, is it possible that there is a human factor when the edge shock ends suddenly today?"

"Uh...... It's really unlikely. Monica was stunned, shook her head, and said, "At least as far as I know, no one has ever been able to do such a thing, after all, this involves the edge or even the phantom world, and it is not human control at all." Why, why do you think that? Don't worry, though, to be misleading. ”

"Because of a malicious will." Babu described the induction he had felt by the Roshan on the edge before, as well as the malice he had sensed many times before, "That's why I was so suspicious." ”

"Are you sure you're feeling the malice of 'people'?" Monica didn't say any delusions or other nonsense, although she had only been in contact for a few days, Monica had already had a preliminary understanding of Babu, and this person rarely said the conclusion directly, but once she said it, she must have her own considerations, and it was not just a casual statement.

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"The pollution from the illusory world naturally carries a huge malice towards the breath of life, otherwise the edge monsters and phantom beasts would not specifically pursue the breath of life." "So, can you be sure that the malice didn't come from the Illusory Pollution itself?" ”

Babu spreads her hands, and Anna, who has taken away the toy, protests and snatches her hands back to play with his fingers. Rubbing Anna's hair casually, Babu shook his head and said, "I can't tell the difference, if you follow what you said, then what I feel may indeed be the malice of the illusory world pollution itself." But then I can't think of any reason to explain these two particular shocks. Why, do you still think that it is the node at the edge that causes everything? ”

"Yes, because of the characteristics of edge nodes, it does affect the stability of the present world and the edge, which in turn leads to the abnormal outbreak of edge oscillation. The point is that there is precedent for this impact. Monica suddenly raised her voice and said loudly, "The last time a Level 2 node appeared in the current world where the town is located was ten years ago, and a similar incident happened back then, and it didn't stop until the node was cleared. Right, Gauss, you are the most vocal. ”

"That's true." The sound of armor sounded, and the captain of the garrison strode in, "I don't know what happened on the edge, but the scavenging team did lose most of the damage ten years ago before the crisis was resolved, and the town also lost a lot of people, including your ......"

"My whole family?"
