Chapter 34: Let's Accompany the Funeral
The gunpowder that the town had accumulated over the past few years was almost all packed in two small barrels, sealed and then detonated with alchemical potions. Fearing that the power would not be strong enough, Monica and Babu simply did not do anything, using crossbow arrows to open the way, and shoved the keg and detonator directly into the monster's wound.
Before the monster could react to what was happening, there was a suppressed muffled sound in the body, and after the muffled sound, the body suddenly expanded irregularly from the inside out, and the sarcoma of the whole body exploded directly in half, and the high-pressure gas wrapped in a large mass of flesh and blood erupted from each broken sarcoma, and the scene was as spectacular as when a steam fountain erupted.
When the jet ended, the huge monster shook for a while, stumbling in place and turning around several times, and most of the tentacles were also dragged to the ground weakly, unable to even lift it.
"Garrison regiment, attack with all your might."
At such a good time, Captain Gauss shouted an order while being the first to rush forward with a sword, and behind him, more than thirty big men with a big shape and more than thirty shining long swords rushed forward against the sprayed flesh and blood, sword after sword, desperately slashing at the monster's body. Everyone gritted their teeth and did their best, as if they wanted to tear the monster alive, and as the weapons were raised and dropped again and again, the blood around them became even stronger.
"No, no." Seeing that the situation was good, Babu frowned tightly, his face became more and more stiff, and he muttered anxiously, "There is definitely a problem, something is wrong with this monster." โ
With a snap, Monica slapped Babu the back, almost slapping him into the ground as he was distracted, but it also brought him back to his taste. Monica was also polite, leaning close to Babu's ear and asking loudly, "Tell me clearly, what's wrong." โ
But Babu really couldn't explain it, because in front of his eyes, the state contrast between the two spaces was further deteriorating, as the garrison attacked the monster again and again, the edge space covered by the red mist became more and more condensed, while the normal space became more and more blurred, as if in the next moment, the two spaces would be swapped.
Unfortunately, no matter what he found now, it was too late.
The soldiers of the garrison regiment, full of hatred, have swung their swords one after another, chopping most of the monster into pieces. Seeing that the monster's movements were getting smaller and smaller, and the reaction was getting slower and slower, before the soldiers could cheer excitedly, the monster's body that had not yet been chopped up suddenly exploded and exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
It's the real blood mist.
There was no longer a substance, but a vast shadow formed purely by the mist, which was what Babu had seen in his fantasy twice before. The only difference is that this time it was not only Babu who saw it, this huge shadow really appeared in everyone's sight, showing everyone its indescribable image.
The huge shadow just suspended in the air, suspended above everyone's heads, and a large cloud of blood mist dripped from the main part like droplets, but before it could reach the ground, it returned to nothingness, leaving no trace.
Obviously, it is just a simple existence, and there is obviously no movement, but for some reason, there are thousands of people present, and a fear rises in everyone's hearts for no reason, as if seeing the most fearful thing in the depths of the blood, like facing an irresistible catastrophe.
One step, two steps, the nearby warriors subconsciously retreated quietly, and they couldn't be blamed, because even their most trusted captain Gauss couldn't help but slowly retreat after seeing the giant shadow. In fact, he also wants to continue fighting, but it is just a cloud of mist, how can he fight it? Moreover, the cloud was so large that it could cover the entire town...... Well? What about our town?
Finally, some people discovered that the town where everyone had lived all their lives was suddenly gone. At this time, there was no longer a familiar town around him, but a strange city ruins, the sky was gray, the red mist was filled, there were cloud-like monsters overhead and around, the visibility was extremely low, and he couldn't see anything around him, he could only feel lifeless.
No one moved for a while, but fear and panic were already permeating the crowd, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more depressing, and at some point it would completely explode, and everyone's faces became more and more ugly.
Especially a few people in the scavenging team, others may not know the situation, but they know best, Monica's face turned iron-blue, and her hand grabbed Babu's arm tightly, unconsciously grasping harder and harder, and her nails almost cut out his arm bleeding.
"The Present World...... It's devoured, it's over, and everyone is going to be polluted and mutated by the edges. Even her voice became hoarse, and her body trembled slightly and said, "Edge Shock is obviously not at the highest level, how did it do it?" Did our actions help it? I, I ......"
Smack, another slap, and this time it was Babu's turn to slap Monica hard in the back, waking her up from her confusion.
"Don't worry." Among all of them, only Babu remained calm, although his arm subconsciously protected Anna who was tied to his arms, but at least his face was as usual, and he whispered, "I don't know how it did it, but believe me, if my understanding is not wrong, then this world has not been swallowed." โ
"Huh?" With a calm expression and a calm tone, Monica quickly calmed down and looked at Babu with a puzzled look.
"I'm an observer, I can see it." Babu pointed to his eyes, and did not explain much, but said affirmatively, "There is still resistance in this world, and there is still a glimmer of life. โ
Yes, in Babu's eyes, although the two spaces have been translocated, although the normal one is almost called by the anomalous space, it is still only almost, it is indeed very little, but there are still a few remnants, hazy and difficult to distinguish, but they are still struggling to ensure that they are not completely swallowed up.
"What is this, where am I?"
The two had just communicated for a few seconds, and the others came back to their senses one after another, some people in the crowd were exclaiming, some were screaming, and some were running around aimlessly, but the strange fog shadow covered the entire sky, and the surroundings were full of strange and weird ruined cities, and those who wanted to escape didn't know where to run at all, and the large group of people were scurrying around like headless flies, and after a while, they could only stop at a loss.
There was nothing threatening around, but there was an extremely unsettling feeling in everyone's hearts, especially those who guessed that they were on the edge, and their hearts were filled with fear. They know very well that ordinary people without soul resistance go to the edge, and if they can't get back as soon as possible, there is only a dead end. But now I don't even know how I came from, and how can I get back?
The anomaly beyond common sense made the townspeople who had been struggling for half a night finally unable to support it anymore, many people directly collapsed to the ground, desperately hugging their heads and crying, even the people of the garrison regiment were no exception, in the face of mysterious enemies and strange phenomena that violated common sense, they could not find a way to resist at all, so they could only let the weapons slip from their hands, staring blankly at the clouds of destruction above their heads.
I don't know why, obviously there is no concept of limbs and facial features, but everyone has a feeling that Yin Yun is staring in a certain direction, and looking along the feeling, everyone's eyes are finally focused on Babu and Monica, because everyone finds that Yin Yun seems to be watching the direction of the two all the time.
Again, there was no sound around, but everyone seemed to hear the clouds, and they could hear them very clearly. The hatred in the voice is almost substantial, and it is inevitable that people will be afraid just by listening to it.
"Ten years ago, it was you who stopped me, and ten years later, it will be you again."
"You've wasted ten years of my time, and I'm not going to let you go."
"I'm coming to you, and in half an hour at most, you'll be waiting to be buried with you in this world."
There was no sound, just pure thought, and after the divine thought had transmitted the message, the huge dark cloud that covered the sky suddenly contracted, shrinking smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a dense cloud of smoke, which shrank into a huge hole.
It is the hole where the scavenging team fought not long ago, and the clouds are drilling back into the hole, and if you look down the hole, you can also see that the Roshan tentacles inside are ready to move, and they may reach out to attack at any time.
"Monica." The monster had already burrowed back into its lair, and there was no danger in sight around it for the time being, and people could finally use their brains to think about the current situation, and the mayor and several elders stumbled over for the first time, pulling Monica's arm and crying, "It, was it talking to you just now?" Is it it, that is, the node that killed a lot of people ten years ago? โ
"Looks like he said it to me." Monica sighed, but instead of panicking, she carefully sorted out the long whip in her hand, and said lightly, "I've already asked people to try in the direction of the exit, but don't get too hopeful, it should be useless." I just discussed it with Babu, I'm afraid everything is the ghost of that thing inside, if we solve him, we can return to the present world, if we can't solve him, when he swallows the world, everyone will wait for death together. โ
"It was the town that saved my life back then, and it is my responsibility to deal with this monster for the town and end the ten-year entanglement, so don't worry, Mayor Town, I will rush into his lair and do everything I can to kill it. The fighters in other towns, whether they have soul resistance or not, as long as they have the courage, can go in and fight with me, they may be polluted, they may die directly, but ...... It is also possible that you can really save the town and seize that glimmer of life, and you can decide for yourself what to do. As for you, Bรกb, you ......"
Monica turned to Babu, her eyes were rather complicated, she opened her mouth several times to say something, but swallowed it back, and when she finally made up her mind to speak for the last time, she was interrupted by Babu.
She saw Babu pull out a money bag and sway, the tinkling sound inside was particularly annoying.
"You asked me to help you the day before yesterday, and you paid me this in advance, so you want to take them back now?" Babu's vigilance made Monica cry and laugh, "Let me tell you, there is no precedent for spit back the money I ate, let me return the money?" Don't even think about it. โ
Monica gave the guy a hard look, and although she didn't say anything, she grinded her teeth viciously, and it seemed that she wanted to bite him a bite or two.
"And Anna hasn't woken up yet." Putting away the money bag, Babu no longer laughed, but sighed softly, touched the hair of the girl in his arms and said, "Although I can't figure out the reason, I extremely suspect that her failure to wake up has something to do with the nodes inside and Roshan, so it stands to reason that I must fight side by side with you." โ
"But have you thought about it?" Monica approached Babu and touched the little one's hair while she was sleeping, "What if something happens to you?" โ
"It's troublesome, and there's almost no way to survive." Babu shrugged his shoulders and said as a matter of course, "So I'll just try not to have an accident." โ
"You guy......" Monica choked and found that what he said made sense, and she couldn't refute it at all, so she had to say in a muffled voice, "Forget it, whatever you want, but you don't plan to go down with her, you can think about it." โ
"It would be too dangerous to take her with you." After a moment's hesitation, Babu took out the pen and paper he was carrying, and hurriedly bowed his head and wrote, "I'll leave her a note, so that when she wakes up, I haven't returned, and she'll be scared by herself." โ
"Hey, are you serious? She couldn't see again. Seeing that Babu was stunned and stopped moving, Monica said casually, "But I didn't expect you to be literate, and not only you, she is also literate." โ
Well?
Originally, Babu's writing action had stopped, and when he heard Monica's unintentional words, he suddenly felt like a lightning strike, and he didn't even know that the pen had slipped to the ground, and his mouth was slightly open, looking at Monica who didn't know why.
It dawned on Babu that he had been feeling that he had been ignoring something.
A joking sentence strung together most of the doubts in Babu's heart.
His muscles stiffened little by little, and he looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms.
Anna.
