Monica followed the voice and saw a beautiful woman.

Dressing up didn't matter to her anymore, and it was impossible for anyone to take their attention off her looks when they saw her.

Exhausting all the beautiful words, it is difficult to describe one-ten-thousandth of her appearance, and she doesn't even need a smile, a word or a deed, just a simple destruction can make everyone crazy for her.

It's really crazy, because her beauty has almost surpassed the limits of human comprehension, human beings are not only incapable of describing, but also incapable of understanding, even with Monica's more than a dozen experiences in the world, seeing her only feels that her brain is blank, only an urge to bow down and kneel in front of her forever, as long as you can look at her again, even willing to do anything.

I don't know how long it took, Monica's brain finally recovered from the blank, her heart was beating violently, her body only felt weak, and a bone-chilling cold leaked from the inside out, making her feel like falling into an ice cellar even on a warm night. After recovering, I looked at each other, and the feeling just now seemed to be an illusion, although I still felt that the other party was extremely beautiful, but it was not beyond the scope of understanding, and the gray robe on her body also properly covered up her beauty, at least not so much that people wanted to bow and worship.

It must have been her own delusion, Monica wanted to comfort herself in this way, but she couldn't because she was still holding Babu's arm, and Babu was right next to her.

She could clearly feel the remaining fear in Ba'b's heart.

His arms trembled like fallen leaves in the wind, his teeth trembled and clicked, his muscles tensed, and his breath was short like bellows. And that's just a remnant of fear, and Monica can't imagine how much fear Babu endured in the short time before she regained consciousness.

She didn't understand why the Báb was feeling pure fear, because she didn't know what the Báb saw, something very different from what she saw.

The Báb didn't even see this beautiful woman at first glance, but in his eyes, saw an indescribable presence.

As he looked down from above, what he saw was a huge tree, covering the ruins of a huge city on the edge, and countless tendrils spread to every corner of the ruins, passing in and out between the large and small city buildings, as if holding the whole city tightly in his arms. The towering skyscrapers of the city are as small as a miniature model in front of the giant trees, and any branch of the giant trees is wider than the widest main road in the city.

But it's not just a tree, it's not motionless.

The rough epidermis is covered with sarcomas and appendages that symbolize the pollution of the illusory world, and on the canopy-like canopy, each branch twists flexibly like tentacles, and with the twisting of the tentacles, a puff of black gas erupts from the inside of the sarcoma and appendages on the branches, and the black gas burrows into the ground when it lands, and soon turns into tiny shoots that break through the surface and merge into the giant tree, making the giant tree even bigger.

Every branch is wriggling, and the entire canopy is twitching, as if hundreds of millions of poisonous snakes are entrenched in the canopy, giving people a terrifying experience like the deepest nightmare.

The mere existence of such a terrifying giant tree, which is enough to plunge everyone into an inextricable madness.

But what Babu was afraid of was not because of what he saw and understood, although he would feel disgusted and frightened when he saw the giant tree, but just like the other two times he saw those strange existences, he was not afraid at all, let alone fall into madness, what really made him fall into extreme fear was actually the giant tree itself.

Because the faces of the giant trees were looking at him.

Yes, human faces.

The crown of the giant tree resembles a long hair formed by a wriggling viper, and underneath the long hair is the face of the giant tree.

It was a woman's face, but there was no face at all, or rather, it was impossible to understand the other person's face, and what was reflected in my mind was only a piece of nothingness.

Although he couldn't see his face, Babu could clearly feel that the giant tree was looking at him, and there was no friendliness or hostility in his eyes, just the simple act of 'looking' made him feel like a frog stared at by a snake, irresistible, but with nowhere to escape, maybe the next moment, it was like being swallowed by a natural enemy.

However, a wriggling of his chest awakened the Bab in extreme fear, it was Anna, little Anna.

The little thing trembled more than Babu, not only was her face pale, but even her long hair had exploded, but at least she was not so panicked that she lost consciousness, she squirmed in Babu's arms, and instead of hiding behind Babu, she crawled to Babu's chest, trembling and crying, baring her teeth at the giant tree and making a fierce expression.

Babu, who was awakened, gritted his teeth and raised his hand, pressing his big hand on the top of the little girl's head in his arms, the hearts of the two seemed to be one, and fear was also blocked out of the mind, and the next moment, the body would be synchronized with the mind, entering a state of deep integration, just like the experience in Tanuki Town.

But the process came to an abrupt halt, and the fused minds split into two. This time it was Babu who took the initiative to stop, because it was as abrupt as when it appeared, and the terrifying vision he saw in front of his eyes suddenly disappeared, and there was no giant tree, except for a woman in a robe standing there, smiling faintly at the three of them.

Looking at this woman now, it is completely normal, except that her appearance is still extremely stunning and her voice is very dreamy, there is nothing special about it, but whether it is Monica or Babu, I feel that everything I saw just now will be remembered for the rest of my life, and it will never be forgotten.

"You've had a good reaction, and I like it, little sister." The woman's skin is tender, her hair is silky, uneven, and even her voice is full of youth and vitality, "As for you......"

The woman's gaze turned to Babu, both in her gaze and in her tone, with deep doubt: "You are very strange, what exactly do you see?" ”

"What do you say?" The corners of Babu's mouth twitched, and he recalled the terrifying experience just now.

The woman looked Babu up and down and said thoughtfully, "You won't be so lucky. ”

"Huh?"

"You're not unlucky enough to see 'her' in real shape." The woman's originally scrutinizing gaze became quite weird, "Impossible, if you really looked directly at 'her', you would have ...... long ago Forget it, this kind of thing is not for me to take care of, and it is not something I should ask. Since you can get 'her' interested in you, there must be a reason for you, and I don't want to get involved. ”

"So, who is that 'she' we see? Who are you? ”

"Hehe, that's a good question." The woman's laughter was so charming and seductive that Babu always felt as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment, "Before I answer, let me ask you a question." ”

"Huh?"

"You've been through a lot of the present world, ha, I like your look of surprise to hide it, it's almost real, no wonder you just contributed such a wonderful performance." The woman winked at the man and the woman, and continued, "From your knowledge, why do you think some of them are called towns in this world, while a few are called cities?" ”

"Well, that's ......" Monica and Babu looked at each other, stumped by the usual question. Monica hesitated for a while, then said hesitantly, "Is it differentiated by population, the city has a large area and a large population, while the small town is the opposite?" ”

"Wrong, or rather, cause and effect reversed." The woman leaned forward and posed in a curvilinear shape, even the wide cloth robe could not stop her temptation, she smiled and shook her index finger, and chuckled, "Because it is a city, it will be large in area and large in population." Hey, demographic differences are only a consequence, not a cause. As for the reason, in this world, as long as there is one thing, even if it has a population of only a few hundred, it is still a small city, and if it does not, even if it has a population of 100,000 million, it is still a larger town. ”

"So, what's this thing?" Babu seems to have heard similar statements in his sleeping memories of his past life, but the specific memories have never recovered, so he has to pursue the question.

The woman didn't answer directly, but smiled and pointed to the distance behind the two of them. Looking in the direction she was pointing, behind the largest castle, the tallest building in the city, a giant stone sculpture rose from the ground. The female sculpture holding a strange staff has no face, her head bowed and she looks down on the city, and her hand without a cane is stretched out, as if to hold the whole city in the palm of her hand.

The moment he saw the stone statue, Babu suddenly remembered why he felt the woman's voice familiar. It is said that such a special voice will not be forgotten once after hearing it, but Babu did not think about it for a while, only because the voice he had heard before was more coquettish and soul-neutral than a woman's, and the beauty was even more unreal.

It was in a dream on the border of Tanuki Town, and the phrase "I remember you, come to me" is still fresh in Babu's memory.

The two of them looked at the sculpture from afar, and for a moment froze, listening to the woman continue.

"This thing is a temple, and every present world that calls itself a city must have and only one temple. Only with the temple can there be a better harvest, fewer disasters, more travelers and merchants, can we support a larger population, and provide her with more delicious ......" The woman licked her rosy and plump lips, but there was an indescribable chill in her charming smile, "Food, hey, take what you need, fair trade, your businessman's favorite behavior, right?" ”

The two looked at each other, trying to smile, but they couldn't smile anyway.

"So, now you know what you just saw? She's just ...... the three of you," the woman said, gesturing to Babu, who was holding Anna, "especially since you two are interested in seeing you through my eyes, now you see." ”

"Temple ......" Monica felt her throat dry for a while, and when she saw Babu's inquiring eyes, she shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice, "I don't know, I've vaguely heard people talk about temples when I passed through the city before, but I've never had an in-depth understanding, and I don't know if it's true or not." Maybe Judy will find out and ask her a chance. But...... Jinni? How could such an unrealistic thing exist, it's too illusory. ”

"Huh?" The smile on the woman's face disappeared, and she said solemnly, "I only talked about the temple from beginning to end." Have I ever talked about gods? ”

"Huh?"

The woman shrugged her shoulders and regained her charming smile: "I never said that the things enshrined in the temple were so-called gods. ”

Báb asked, "What's that?" ”

"Who knows, I don't care. Anyway, in my opinion, she is her, and it doesn't matter whatever. The woman waved her hand casually, as if she really didn't care, "By the way, she just asked me to tell you something." ”

Seeing that the woman was speaking to herself, Babu nodded.

"You should have remembered her, well, sure enough, so you should know that she has no ill will towards you." The woman pointed at Anna, the little thing had been protected by the awakened Babu from just now, and was poking her head out of his shoulder with a threatening expression, "In her state, even if you use the same method as before, huh...... With you now, a hundred of you are no match for you. So if she really wants to deal with you, there's no need to hide her purpose. ”

Babu nodded in approval.

"Now that she's inviting you to come and play, of course she's saying you're welcome here, at least she's welcoming you. In the days here, you don't need to think about her attitude, just do what you want to do, she likes to watch your performances, hey, actually, I like it too. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Babu asked noncommittally.

"Or else?" The woman smiled mysteriously, "Don't use human thinking to guess what she thinks, one or two people or even one or two in the world, it doesn't matter to her, as long as she finds it interesting." ”

"I see." Babu nodded lightly and asked with a smirk, "What about you?" She's her, so who are you? And I just want to tell us that you don't care? ”

The woman was eating and laughing, and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps in the distance, and Monica and Babu looked up to see that the tailor who had just left was hurrying with two apprentices and a dress in their hands.

By the time the two of them retracted it, the strange woman was gone, leaving only a vague sense in her mind.

"I'm her apostle, and I live in the temple, and it doesn't matter if I'm ...... hee-hee"

The consciousness dissipated, and the tailor and apprentice with the gown were almost in the small garden. Monica and Babu were a little stunned, and the two looked at each other blankly for a long time before Monica sighed and muttered, "How can this happen?" Let's ...... then."

"Now that people have lowered their profiles and made invitations, can we still be scared away like this? Of course, I gladly accepted it. "And I think it's really interesting, both in terms of her presence and her attitude, and now I feel more and more that we can go to the edge together, and it's the right decision I've ever made." Let's go, since the host has invited, then let's go crazy for once, as long as we have fun. ”

Looking at Babu's outstretched hand, Monica's eyes changed from tangled to free, and she shook her curls and shook it: "Okay, just have fun." ”
