Chapter 45: She is with us

Although at the last moment, Monica, with the combat experience accumulated over the years, barely dodged the head-on slap of the corpse hand, but the strength was exhausted, and she could no longer make other change movements, and the empty corpse hand copied it casually, so she held her in the palm of her hand, and while squeezing it hard, she raised her arm into the air and bit down with her long mouth on the prey in her hand.

The corpse fluid burned her skin like a strong acid, and within a few seconds, not only was she dressed in a large amount of clothing, but also her torso and limbs, all the places that were grabbed and stained with corpse fluid, there were extensive burns, and she felt bursts of intense stinging pain.

The corpse crushed every muscle and bone under the skin like a grinding disc, and the powerful force put her body under heavy pressure, even if she mobilized all her source energy to fight, she couldn't get rid of the pressure, and her body soon began to gurgle under the pressure.

There is also invisible but ubiquitous pollution, which penetrates deep into the bone marrow and accumulates rapidly, making Monica feel a throbbing in the depths of her soul, as if she has received some kind of most primitive call, and her will gradually begins to be agitated and confused.

Using the last of her sanity and strength, Monica turned her gaze in the direction of the Báb, and took one last look at the Báb, who was out of danger, who had fallen to the ground and rolled on the ground several times before stopping. I don't know why he didn't get up in time after he landed, but at least he looked intact.

That's enough.

Monica's face, which was already in a bit of a trance, showed a smile of relief.

Sol Town, you sacrificed your life to save me, and you didn't hesitate to be swallowed and eaten by Anna, I will never forget this kindness, and I finally returned it to you today.

I'm very happy to have you with me for less than a month, and it's been the happiest experience I've had since I came to Thor, and it's like the days are back.

Thank you for always being with me, thank you for always accommodating me, it's good to have you, dead child.

I promised to accompany you out, and I have an obligation to keep you safe, at least until I die, and I can't let you have an accident.

This time I finally don't have to watch you die in my arms, this time I finally saved you, you can be safe, it is my greatest luck.

It's a pity, the journey seems to end here, dead child, you have to take care of yourself in the future, my sister can't accompany you.

Seeing the corpse's humanoid mouth getting closer and closer to him, and the strong rancid smell came to his face for a while, Monica slipped a tear from the corner of her eye, but with a smile on her face, she looked at Babu below in a blur, and gradually dimmed her vision, this increasingly familiar figure and the shadow in her distant memory gradually coincided, and it was no longer possible to distinguish each other.

In the last moment, although her arms were tightly pressed to her sides, Monica still struggled to move her fingers, trying to reach out in the direction of Babu, and whispered her truest wish at this time: "I don't want to leave you, save me." ”

"Okay, I'm here."

In a trance, Monica seemed to hear the more and more familiar voice in her ear, it should be an illusion, Monica told herself, and closed her eyes weakly, but just before her eyelids closed, her vision was suddenly filled with a blood-red color, and blood-red light emitted from Babu's position, and in an instant, it devoured Monica, who had been brought to her mouth by the monster.

From the time Monica was caught by the main monster to the time she was about to be eaten by her mouth, it didn't take more than five seconds, but in these five seconds, Babu barely moved, just sat on the ground, staring blankly in Monica's direction, as if she was desperate.

But no, because Anna was still lying in his arms.

At this time, Anna was still obediently lying in his arms, and his arms, for some reason, had sunk into Anna's small body from behind.

Mimicking Abby's gesture of withdrawing her two-handed staff from the statue of Ira a few days ago to cast a blessing in the Temple Square, Babu reached into her arm and grasped the source of energy that was becoming more and more familiar, the core that was most crucial to Anna.

"Knock knock, knock knock", the energy from the core is rhythmically rhythmic, like a regular heartbeat, and the core is very meek and curled up in Babu's palm, just like Anna curls up in Babu's arms on weekdays.

"Okay?" Báb's fingers quickly wrote a word on the core, and in response to him was the little one's happy emotions, and wholehearted trust and dependence. Babu smiled and didn't ask any more questions, and his concentrated spirit quickly penetrated into Anna's body, merging with the energy source in his hand.

It was completely different from the feeling of being completely integrated in Tanuki Town before, at this time Babu had not only roughly sensed little Anna's emotions, but also through the connection of energy sources, he seemed to have peeked into a corner of Anna's consciousness.

It was a barren world.

The sky was filled with endless dust, and the sunlight obscured by the dust made the air extremely cold. There is no day all year round, the temperature is getting lower and lower, there is no life in the world, animals, plants, most of life has withered, only countless abandoned high-rise buildings, still telling the glory of the world.

In the dust, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, the roar is repeated, and there are strong flashes of light in the corners of the world every moment, so I don't know how many years, under the illumination of the flash, it is the corpse that is displayed on the ground, and only the corpse, as if death and destruction are the main theme of this world.

Until one day, the flash and smoke finally disappeared, disappeared forever, and the world fell into a dead silence, as if it was a never-ending dead silence, and in the whole world, there were only some indescribable existences, wandering in loneliness, without purpose, without consciousness, without beginning and without end.

I don't know how many years I wandered, an indescribable being finally came to consciousness, curiously wandering in the dead and silent world, and I don't know how long I wandered, years, decades, hundreds of years, no one could tell, until finally, I encountered the same indescribable existence.

Next, it was pitch black, desperately pitch black, and panic, panic, and flight, until one day, the petite head pillowed a broad and warm chest, and this memory finally came to an end after only a second, or lasted for thousands of years.

It's just a moment, Anna is gone, and Babu finds that there is a pair of strange short blades in his hands, caressing the short knife, obviously the first contact, but it seems to be connected by blood, and even familiar enough that when you hold it, you can sense the power of the short blade and the power it can bring.

Holding the dagger, Babu raised his head and looked at Monica, who had been brought to his mouth, more than ten meters away, but he seemed to hear Monica's trance cry for help.

Babu no longer hesitated, waved his hand forward, and a blood-colored light appeared, and he instantly galloped in front of the monster.

It was a sword light, a blood-red sword light.

The sword light emitted from Babu's hand, and his whole person seemed to have merged into the sword light, and the two merged into one, and without warning, they rose into the sky, and at the speed of real light, they instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and swept past the wrist of the monster holding Monica's body.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment, the monster's long arm stopped in the air, and there was an additional crack in the wrist, and the crack became more and more obvious to the naked eye, and then, the huge corpse hand holding Monica slipped off the monster's bare wrist as if it had lost its support, and the palm that lost its strength opened, and Monica, who was held in the palm of her hand, fell weakly.

After the knife was cut in two, the blood light suddenly reversed, rolling Monica in the fall, and suddenly returned to the ground, the blood light dissipated, revealing Monica's body again.

Monica was reclining on Babu's side, tilting her head, allowing Babu to pour two bottles of purification potion into her mouth, and as soon as the silver potion entered her body, Monica's already scattered gaze quickly became clear again.

"Wow", lost a hand, the main humanoid of the corpse pile, that is, the largest one, held the broken wrist for a while, and the broken hand that had just landed actually floated into the air in the wail, and reconnected with the broken wrist. At the same time, the other monsters also howled at the same time, running around the two people's landing point, and then approached step by step, surrounding the two in the center from all directions, and when the main monster picked up the wrist, the monsters just completed the encirclement, making the two people become impassable.

Monica's consciousness had just come to her senses, and the first thing she saw was the scene of herself being surrounded, and the large group of corpse giants that had to be looked up to was slowly approaching, and the thunderous footsteps alone were enough to make people feel desperate. And his physical condition is known to himself, the muscles and bones of his body are in severe pain, and the polluted energy in his body is soaring at an alarming speed, two bottles of purification potions have no effect at all, and the effect is about to be neutralized, and it is simply unrealistic to recover his mobility immediately, let alone escape from the encirclement.

"I'm sorry, I'm holding back." Monica saw that Babu didn't pay attention to the approaching monster at all, and had to feed him the third bottle of purification potion, so she could only smile bitterly and said, "Okay, don't underestimate me, it's just that it was temporarily successful, and it's not to the point where I want you to fill the medicine, you go out to find Aurora first, don't let her rush in, and I'll be there later." ”

"You think I'm stupid, don't you?" The corners of Babu's mouth twitched, his left hand wrapped around her waist, held her in his arms, grinned, and said mysteriously, "Let's put on something interesting for you." ”

"Huh?" Monica was weak, knowing that it was impossible for Babu to leave herself, and she was desperate for escaping from the encirclement, so she simply relaxed her body and let Babu hold her, her eyes slightly closed on his chest, and when she heard his words, she reluctantly opened her eyes, "What do you see, ah~~"

In Monica's brief exclamation, the blood-red sword light reappeared.

The sword light was as fast as lightning, with a screaming sound that tore through the air, and in a blink of an eye, it was out of the monster's encirclement, and Babu was sheltered behind the sword light, and the person followed the knife, and where the sword light was, the person was there. By the time the blood-colored light had dissipated, Babu had already appeared outside the encirclement with Monica in her arms.

Aurora was standing anxiously aside, looking at the monster's encirclement, a few bottles of cocktails in her hand had been thrown away, but she couldn't find a way to go in and save people, and was in a hurry, when she saw a knife light slashing out, startling her, almost punching her, until he saw Babu holding Monica in the red light.

"Take her back to the present world first."

Babu carefully handed Monica into Aurora's hands, and his solemn expression made Aurora's heart tighten, until she saw that Monica was still alive, and she simply hugged Monica with both hands.

"Don't panic." Monica waved her hand hard, "I'll stay and at least throw a few bottles for you, you let Anna ramble me...... Well? Wait, what about Anna? ”

Monica was shocked to realize that Anna was gone, and her brain had been a little groggy since she was rescued by Babu just now, and she didn't realize at all that the little Anna who was always lying on Babu's body and was silent like a pendant suddenly disappeared, which made her subconsciously turn her head to look around, but she couldn't find any trace of the little guy at all.

"Don't worry, she's always there." Babu patted a feeble Monica and whispered, "She's with us." ”

As Babu lifted his hand, Monica finally saw the source of the red light, a pair of short blades that he held tightly in his hands, blood-red short blades.

The situation of the short knife is quite peculiar, the whole short knife can not see the material, not like metal, not like bones, but with a bit of fleshy texture, the dark red blade looks quite demonic, the blade is straight, but the back is irregular wavy, the grip is a handguard that can wrap the entire hand, and each handguard has a huge eye. But now the eyes are closed, and only the outline of the eye socket and a closed slit in the middle can be seen, and not a single eyeball is turning in the eye socket, but even so, the shape of the short knife still gives people an extremely weird feeling, which makes people feel creepy and uncomfortable.

"Ann Ann Anna?" Monica's mouth grew up, showing an unprecedented panicked look, pointing to the short knife in Babu's hand and failing to say a complete sentence, she stammered for a long time before taking a deep breath and suddenly said, "What did Ira say about the deposit?" That inexplicable blessing from Abby that day? You said you guessed the clue, that's it? ”

"So, rest assured that you can go back to this world and recuperate." Babu rubbed Monica's long chestnut hair and said with a smile, "You've done enough, we'll take care of the rest, and after receiving your advance salary, it's my turn to perform." Third Highness, you take her back first, I'll solve the matter here, it's just a leader-level monster, if you want to threaten me, it's not qualified enough. ”

As soon as the words fell, Babu crossed the short knives in both hands in front of him, and then with a sneer, he rushed forward at the group of monsters, and Aurora no longer hesitated, ignoring Monica's dissatisfaction and protesting and rushed back into the entrance of the present world. And Monica could only smile bitterly and was carried into the present world by her, before leaving, Monica looked back at Babu, just in time to see him open the way with the light of the knife, and the person followed the knife, like a thunderbolt directly hit the highest main monster, and the two sides collided fiercely.
