Little Anna is still asleep.

With yellow blonde hair, a thin face, and a soft and thin body, she shrunk into Babu's arms, her body snuggling up to Babu's chest, and she slept soundly with her fingers pinched. As if feeling a little cold around him, his small body shrank back into Babu's arms, rubbing Babu's dirty clothes hard.

But looking at this face that appeared countless times in his memory, at this time Babu was full of tense muscles, his expression was as stiff as a rock, he only felt that his throat was unusually dry, and his hands were raised several times, reaching towards her neck, but he quickly put it down, and finally did nothing.

"Hey, Babu, wake me up." Babu was awakened from her trance, and when she looked up, she saw Monica's worried face, she was standing in front of Babu, her hands on his shoulders and shaking vigorously, even Anna's head was shaken around by her as if it was broken, and hit her chest several times, "What do you remember?" Don't get distracted by the enemy right now. ”

Babu suddenly pushed Monica away with a sudden force, almost pushing her to the ground, and the rather rough movements surprised both of them. Babu untraceably blocked Anna's touch to Monica's position with his hand, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I remembered some things from the past." ”

"It can make the murderous aura on your body overflow, your past is really exciting." Monica glared at him, "What do you want to think about now, don't get distracted after you set off for a while, otherwise the Roshan below won't let you push him like this." ”

"Not necessarily."

"Huh?"

"Monica." Monica noticed that it was the first time that Babu had called her name so formally, and her face was no longer full of her usual playfulness, and she whispered in a rather serious voice, "You know, I'm not a good person? ”

"Huh?"

"Heh, in my impression, I'm a money-hungry, lustful, petty, selfish, and thrill-seeker." Babu's words were inexplicable, but Monica didn't react unusually, she was not a fool, she had already found out that Babu had her own secrets in the past few days, and she just promised not to delve into it, so she just silently listened to Babu continue, "My favorite thing is gambling, and I enjoy the extreme excitement of the moment when the results are revealed." ”

"So what about ......"

"I figured something out just now, and then suddenly my hands itched and I wanted to gamble." Babu licked his lips, this time without hesitation, raised his hand to touch Anna in his arms, and said softly, "If the bet wins, everyone will be safe, and no one will have to fight for their lives, including you." ”

"What if I lose?"

The Báb did not answer, but smiled very brightly.

"Okay, I see." Monica took a few deep breaths before staring into Babu's eyes and saying, "What are you going to bet?" I followed. ”

"Huh?" Babu was stunned for a moment, and asked with a strange look in his eyes, "You don't even know what I'm going to bet on?" ”

"From the very beginning, I pulled you to help me, and everything you did was actually helping me, including the time you were swallowed just now. No matter how many reasons you find, I only see one thing, and that is that you have been helping me with your life without complaint. Monica sighed lightly, "A self-proclaimed petty and selfish person like you can do this, and I'm not a cold-blooded stone man, do you think I'll not follow?" Whatever you want to do, I'll follow, say, how do you need me to cooperate with you? ”

"It's simple, give me ten minutes to be alone and I'm sure I've found a solution to my problem." "Ten minutes later, if I haven't returned, you'll be able to continue your actions as you please." ”

"You...... Going to deal with it alone? ”

Babu was noncommittal, just kept a mysterious smile.

"I ...... too"

"You can't, you can't go." As soon as Monica spoke, she was interrupted by Babu, who said with certainty, "It's not for your safety, it's just that you go and it's counterproductive, that's the truth." ”

"Okay, ten minutes." Monica closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "Just give you ten minutes, and I will look for you in ten minutes, no matter where you are, no matter what the situation is, I will definitely go to you." ”

"It's settled." Babu raised his fist, and the two hands collided lightly in the air, and the fist parted with a touch, and Babu turned his head like a dark hole in his arms.

"Wait." As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Monica from behind, and when he turned around, he saw that Monica had untied the dagger on his leg, handed it to him, and took one of the two daggers that belonged to him from his hand, and wrapped it around his leg again, so he exhaled with satisfaction, "As you just said, now the trend has changed, and it has been changed to exchange weapons." Go ahead, remember I'm only giving you ten minutes. ”

Babu looked at the dagger in his hand again and was stunned for several seconds, then suddenly shook his head with a smile, waved his hand with his back and didn't stay any longer, and walked straight to the deep cave entrance and looked down, just like just now, the huge mountain of meat was still entrenched in the depths of the cave, and the tentacles loomed, like a spider waiting for the opportunity to hunt.

"The last time I was swallowed by you unscathed, I felt wrong, but I never dared to think about it, and Monica's words just now made me suddenly figure it out." Standing at the entrance of the cave, Babu began to tie climbing ropes to the exposed steel bars, babbling that he didn't know who he was talking to, "These things are taken out separately, and each one of them doesn't mean anything, but once you suspect that something is wrong with you and look back, in fact, each one is very revealing." ”

"Why am I literate and why are you literate too? Is it a coincidence that it is precisely because we are both literate that we can communicate on a daily basis? It's not difficult to teach me to read, there are many explanations, but it's almost impossible to teach you literacy, I can't figure out who can do it, the only explanation is that you are actually literate, and you do it all by your hands, right? ”

"Why is my memory of 10 years ago still blurry? You're a key node, heh, this should be your doing. Even if I suddenly woke up with this body, maybe it was your hands and feet. ”

After tying up the climbing rope, Babu rubbed Anna's hair again, making her lie more stable in her arms, lit the fluorite ball and fixed it on her shoulder, and then quickly slid down the climbing rope without hesitation, without even opening the shield of life breath.

"Ten years, so many things happened ten years ago, people only noticed that Monica was stolen ten years ago, but in fact, you were also ten years ago. And after our parents died, no one can tell when you came or how you came, but it can be determined that it was exactly ten years ago, just after you came, the node appeared, and the abnormal edge shock began, right. ”

Slipping down the rope and stepping on the ground, this is a long underground tunnel, and there are tracks in the middle of the tunnel, and I can't figure out what it's for. Roshan was entrenched not far in front of him, his tentacles and appendages waving slightly, and his body surface contracted and bounced, as before. But even if Babu didn't hide his life, Roshan didn't react, as if he hadn't been discovered at all.

"The night before there was another abnormal edge shock, like ten years ago, and just when it happened, you were inexplicably asleep, no matter how much you tossed, you woke up, and as soon as the shock was over, you woke up. It's like this again today, when the shock starts, you fall asleep again, and you can't wake up no matter how you scream, don't you think it's too coincidental? ”

Babbling and muttering, Babu walked straight to Roshan, unhindered along the way. Looking up at the huge bloated Roshan, and then at the petite and helpless girl in his arms, Babu's eyes were complicated, and he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I also worried about your slumber all night, lest something might happen to you. It's an afterthought, it's hopelessly stupid, even a few minutes ago, I was still worried, still hesitant to take you down, lest this thing hurt you. Oh, how can you get hurt, that's part of you. You're asleep just because the consciousness is here, dealing with this part of the body, right? ”

"You didn't hurt me when you swallowed me just now, you just wanted to tell me that you were waiting for me, and now I'm here, my ...... Anna. ”

As he spoke, Babu raised his hand and pressed it on the surface of Roshan without hesitation, and Roshan seemed to be awakened, and countless appendages stretched out from his body, dragging Babu into his body and swallowing it again.

Revisiting the old place, it is no different from the last time, and even feels a little more relaxed, even if there is one more person in the arms, it will not bring much burden.

You can even look around, and even think wildly.

"Such an ugly monster, is it really you? My Anna? ”

"Why have you been planning for ten years, wanting to invade and destroy this town that raised us?"

"It's been dormant for ten years, why don't you continue to lie dormant quietly, why do you suddenly expose yourself."

"If you have already chosen to be our enemy, why do you want to show mercy?"

"Little thing, I don't have any of these concerns, I don't mind hurting you, and now you dare to let me in, naïve guy."

All kinds of thoughts kept popping up in his mind, Babu protected Anna in his arms with one hand, squeezed away the pieces of meat and mucus that stood in the way with the other, and struggled forward in Roshan's body, the pieces of meat around him still squeezed the bodies of the two people, but as before, he never squeezed hard, without causing any damage.

Following the energy perception, finding a direction and not looking back, soon, Babu only felt that the pressure on the surface of his body was light, and he had returned to the position with the least pressure, and sure enough, the dark red energy source was in front of him, just like the heart contracting and beating, emitting bursts of heat.

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Babu stretched out his hand and gently touched the energy source, the scorching energy source beating extremely strongly, holding it as if he could hear the throbbing sound of puff and puff.

Fingers wiped the surface of the energy source, and Babu grabbed the entire energy source, the power in his hand increased little by little, and the energy source was twisted a little bit in his palm.

Eventually, Babu's other hand touched little Anna's yellow hair one last time, closed her eyes, and slowly pressed her hand down.
