Chapter 19: I Am the Báb

Captain Gauss didn't answer directly, but smiled very implicitly: "Ten years ago, alas, it feels like something happened not so long ago. I remember Captain Monica, you happened to have come to Thortown with a caravan. ”

Hearing Gauss mention herself, Monica didn't know what to remember, her face became a little gloomy, and she pursed her lips and nodded.

"There were really a lot of caravans in those two years, and I don't know why, usually there may not be one in a year or two." Captain Gauss's gaze fell on little Anna, "By the way, Babu, I remember that this child was also adopted by your parents at that time, and it seems that I don't know which caravan stayed, well, it should also be someone from the outside, I don't know the specifics." Not long after you were adopted, your parents ...... Poor boy, too. ”

Babu looked down at the girl, who knew nothing about the outside world, reached out and poked her face, and was immediately bitten, finally honest.

"Indeed, as Captain Monica said, there were several edge shocks in the town during that time, and the most dangerous situation was even more serious than today, and it has entered the final fourth stage, not only all kinds of monsters have entered the world, but many people in the town have also become monsters. By the way, that time also came to an abrupt end like today, otherwise it might not have been able to survive, and everyone was already desperate at that time, and the shock suddenly stopped. Gauss paused, thought for a moment and added, "However, I don't know if it's related to the node you said, after all, I don't know much about the things on the opposite edge, so you can only judge for yourself." ”

"I had just become a marginal traveler at the time, and I had been traveling with a caravan for less than a year." Monica's face was very bad, but she went on to explain, "As a result, on the edge of this world, I accidentally hit the second-level node, and the team suffered heavy losses. In the end, a few people escaped, I don't know if I managed to survive, I couldn't escape because of my injuries, but I was lucky to be rescued by the town's scavenging team, picking up a life. ”

"I really don't have a clear basis to say that these two abnormal edge oscillations must have been caused by the secondary nodes, but ten years ago, in the same time period, the two conditions of the existence of the secondary node and the occurrence of abnormal edge oscillations were met at the same time, and the edge oscillations stopped at the same time that the secondary nodes were resolved. Now, ten years later, the event happened again, and it was the same two conditions, the secondary node, the edge oscillation. ”

"It seems that you have experienced it yourself, no wonder you reacted so much yesterday, and you have to go in overnight to confirm." Babu sighed, "Maybe your inference is really correct, the existence of a direct correlation between the two is indeed the greatest possibility, and the node must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will ......"

Looking at the girl in his arms, Babu didn't continue, but everyone actually understood that this time it was the town's luck, it happened that the people of the scavenging team were there, and the location where the monsters concentrated their attacks happened to be where Babu's people were, if they weren't there, would they be able to hold on? What if Babu wasn't with Anna when the monster appeared? Will Anna be able to escape the tricks?

"Otherwise, the results will be unimaginable." Monica naturally picked up Babu's words, "This morning...... Ah, I should say that when I came back yesterday morning, I saw that the situation of the node looked like it had just been upgraded to level 2, and I thought that there was still plenty of time, but I was wrong, because no one knows when the next edge oscillation will happen, and the time is ...... It's been a long time since then. ”

"I see, when are we leaving?" Babu stood up suddenly, and the sudden movement startled little Anna, and she hugged Babu's chest and shook her head around, trying to distinguish the dangerous smell from the air, until Babu pressed her head, and little Anna quieted down, retracted into Babu's arms and remained motionless, only the godless eyes blinked, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"You can't be in too much of a hurry, and you can't go to destroy the node without preparation, it's no different from sending it to death." Monica thought for a moment and said, "Let's just tomorrow morning, gather at the headquarters tomorrow morning, and everyone will set off together, if we can't even survive tonight and there will be problems again, then we will be unlucky." How's that, Babu, you're all right. ”

"Anytime." Babu waved his hand, hugged Anna and turned his head to walk out, "Then I'll go back first, ...... tomorrow"

"Wait, Babu, why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?" Monica hurriedly stopped him, "It's okay to go beforehand, find time to go to the headquarters today, and take you to familiarize yourself first." ”

Babu made a gesture that was okay, then turned to leave, looking at his back, Monica's eyes were only puzzled: "What did you suddenly remember?" Ah, by the way, Captain Gauss, I'm going to ask you to borrow a few people temporarily, and the scavenging team will ......"

After shutting down the door, Babu walked out of the police station with Anna in his arms, and as soon as he went out, the lightness and happiness on his face disappeared, and all that was left was confusion.

He didn't plan to leave so soon, after all, he still had a lot of questions in his heart and wanted to talk to this woman, but after chatting for a few words, he found that his emotions seemed to be getting more and more wrong, so he had to leave quickly and adjust his emotions alone.

He had found out from the moment he was almost pierced through his chest by a tentacle just now, not only was he not scared at all, but he felt extremely excited, especially when discussing the impending crisis later, it was clear that the danger was imminent, and the whole town might be destroyed, but he felt his heart beat faster, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to face the crisis.

"I always feel like a psychopath, what kind of person am I?"

Babu patted his head, trying to remember what he had experienced before he came into the world, but as with many previous attempts, he couldn't remember anything. Now that the crisis may break out at any time, the more he understands the world, the more he intuitively feels the seriousness of the crisis, and the greater the pressure on his heart.

"Who the hell am I? Can I really handle those crises? Can I really protect myself, protect Anna, protect those who know me? What should I do? ”

The more Babu thought about it, the more irritated he became, but just as he was about to explode emotionally, he suddenly felt a squirm in his arms.

Looking down, Babu saw little Anna struggling to slide out of his arms and onto the ground.

Babu sighed softly in his heart, this body is still vague and can't remember the events of ten years ago, but he has been with the little guy day and night for ten years, and he remembers everything so clearly. He couldn't be sure if it was the residual thoughts of his body that were influencing him, but the girl's joy and anger would touch his heart deeply, just as he himself had already regarded the child as his closest person. Seeing her, no matter what kind of emotions will come to naught, and in the end only deep pity remains.

As if he had felt the refreshing morning breeze, the little one struggled to slide to the ground, holding Babu's hand and groping forward, although he stumbled after a few steps, he looked extremely excited, and his pale face flushed with a flush.

However, as soon as someone else passed by, the little one sniffed, and immediately became like a frightened quail, stumbling back into Babu's arms, hiding behind his waist and not surviving until the unfamiliar smell was gone, she cautiously poked her head out, sniffed it a few times, and then smiled happily, took Babu's hand and continued to bump around.

Dragged by this little thing, the two ran wildly around the city, and when they looked up, they had returned to the city center at some point.

It was already dawn, and after last night's emergency, the number of people on the street had decreased significantly, but the vendors and the owners of the roadside shops were still holding on, and the goods were still on display.

The little guy followed the smell, grabbed a wildflower on the side of the road and held it in his hand and was reluctant to let go, and put it in front of him from time to time to smell it, feeling the beauty of the world in this way, but after a while, her attention was distracted, and she took Babu's hand and rushed to another stall to smell it.

It's just the most ordinary baked sweet potato, but after buying it for her, the girl hugged the sweet potato and smiled quite brightly, she pulled Babu to find a random step to sit down, sat in Babu's arms by herself, and held the sweet potato and gnawed happily, so happy that Babu couldn't help but pick a piece and taste this kind of food that only exists in memory.

Then I was bitten, and the small tooth marks left were quite painful.

As punishment for knocking on the girl's head, Babu held her and looked at the pedestrians passing by the roadside, and for a moment he felt the girl's dirty little hands rubbing his forehead, rubbing his head full of potato residues. Pull the little hand off her forehead, but the girl's hand will immediately stubbornly return to its original position, insisting on his forehead......

No, Babu suddenly reacted, the little guy wasn't messing around, and he wasn't messing around.

Looking down, the girl was facing him with her little face up, her eyes blank, but her expression was full of pity, and her slender fingers were softening the center of his brow, trying to smooth out the wrinkles there.

It's too sensitive, and besides, I'm actually pitiful for this little thing.

In addition to laughing at himself, a warmth rose in Babu's heart, and he shook the small hand that smoothed his brow. The little hand was swiping rapidly in his palm.

"Tell me."

Babu was stunned and subconsciously wrote about the question he cared about the most.

"Who am I?"

"Babu."

The answer was a matter of course, but the Babu froze at the moment of understanding.

Yes, I'm Babu.

I care who my soul used to be, and who I used to care about my body.

I am the Báb, the new Báb.

I wonder how I used to deal with it, it was a thing of the past, I am a new Babu now, I can deal with it however I want, I used to live well, but now I can't?

Instead of being bothered by those things, let go of the shackles and live as a new Báb.

"That's right, New World, I'm Babu. Isn't it just danger and challenge, just come on, adventure is the ultimate romance for men. ”

Muttering an inexplicable sentence, Barb burst out laughing, took a deep breath of cool air, and shook his fist at the rising sun, then lifted Anna to his neck and ran down the street under the horrified gaze of others. The girl on her shoulder also seemed to sense the change in Babu's mood, dancing excitedly and letting out a silent laugh.
