Chapter 2: New Treasures
The moment she heard the word 'Babu', Monica only felt a shiver on her body, and there was obviously no wind on the edges, but at this time she only felt a chill and her mouth was a little dry.
Recalling the first time they met in Sol Town, he and Gauss both thought that he was a native of Sol Town, and he was raised by the townspeople, even if he had a secret, he would not damage the interests of Sol Town for no reason, and now it seems that he still underestimated the weirdness of these things on the edge, but fortunately, although he was wrong in judgment at the time, at least he didn't see the wrong person, although his secret was a little scary, but at least he was not scary.
Thinking of this, Monica smiled bitterly and sighed, sat down on the embossed arm, pressed the corner of her forehead with a headache, and said softly: "So, what the hell is going on?" It is said that many people in the town watched you be born and raised, how could you ......?"
"Tsk, it looks like I was worried just now." Babu let out a sigh of relief, sat down on the other side of the relief, hung side by side with Monica, and said with a self-deprecating smile, "I even thought about what you would do if you ran away as soon as you heard it. โ
"If that's the case, what are you going to do?" Monica rested her arms on the relief, tilted her head to look at Babu's expression with her chin in her hand, and asked leisurely, "Are you leaving?" โ
Babu didn't answer, just sighed, smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Looks like you haven't thought it through." Monica's eyes wandered, swept across Babu's face, and said with a smile, "You dare to expose it without thinking about it, should you say that you are bold enough, or do you not care at all, and it doesn't matter if you scare me away or not?" โ
"Tsk, it's not that I didn't think about it, but halfway through it, I realized that I didn't need to think about it at all. You may need to think more about others, but you are Monica, how can Monica, who is smart and calm, bold and courageous, be scared away...... Oops, oops. โ
Monica bit her lower lip and grabbed Babu's ears and twisted them around, and the movements were quite smooth, until Babu covered her ears and wailed, she let go of her hand with a cold snort and let go of Babu's red ears.
"I can't hide it." Babu rubbed his ears, put away his smile and sighed, and said honestly, "Some things are fine when I don't notice them, but once I notice them, we are together every day, and it is impossible to hide them from you for a long time." Instead of making you suspicious for no reason at that time, I will tell you the truth directly, anyway, you will not be afraid of me because of this kind of thing, you are even trying to accept it even Anna, let alone me. Moreover, instead of creating a psychological burden in my heart every day, it is better to find someone I trust the most to help me share this pressure. โ
"You're going to find someone, I didn't say I was going to help you share the burden." Monica's cheeks were slightly red, and she muttered a few words in a low voice, and then said, "Your change should have appeared on the night when you singled out the phantom beast, in fact, the details you showed before made me have some guesses, I even considered that you are a soul reincarnation in other worlds, so you have mastered a lot of knowledge and skills that Babu cannot master, but I didn't expect it, my guess is still conservative, let's say, what is the situation?" โ
"Most of what I'm going to tell you is my guess, maybe it's not true, but I don't think it's too far from the truth." Babu looked at his name on the wall and then said slowly, "The real Babu should be dead." โ
"Which do you mean?" Monica gestured to the name on the wall.
"Both are the same." Babu laughed and explained, "The young Babu from Sol actually died with his parents. โ
Monica sighed softly and nodded.
"However, this little thing doesn't know if it's too scared or too lonely, and she wants someone to accompany her, so she really hopes that I can wake up." Babu hugged Anna and fiddled with her arms in a gesture pointing at herself, "So, I don't know what she picked up from the side of the road, she slipped it into the body. โ
The corners of Monica's mouth twitched, only to feel the blood vessels in her forehead jumping, and she said with a smile: "You should know what the thing you described is actually it." โ
"Well, it's a soul I don't know where to find it." Babu smiled bitterly, "This little thing is a stupid person, I can't figure it out, the whole process is ignorant, so I can only guess, but it should be like this." โ
"Well, what about after that?" Monica asked, "According to you, you should have had a change after that catastrophe ten years ago, but according to my research, you didn't see a noticeable change until that time when you singled out the Phantom Beast. โ
"So obvious?"
"Nonsense, at least from that day on, it's not as stupid as before, you always say that people are stupid, people who knew you before have said it, you are also stupid, it's hard for others not to bully you."
Monica saw that he was fiddling with Anna again, and simply snatched Anna over and protected her in her arms. The little thing didn't overreact, let alone resist, just sniffed, and then stretched out his hand to Babu, grinning and making a crying expression by the way, Monica had no choice but to let go of her hand and let the little thing crawl back into Babu's arms. The little thing arched in the familiar bosom for a moment, curled up in a comfortable position, and stuck its tongue out at Monica at an angle that Babu couldn't see.
Monica felt that her blood vessels were beating even more, gritted her teeth and reached over, poked Anna's fleshy little face, and only regained her serious demeanor after poking her anger: "You used to be more stupid than her, but everyone in the town thought that you had awakened the source energy control, and your personality changed greatly after you had self-confidence, and you didn't think about other places." โ
"Well, that's true, I don't know the reason, probably because I don't adapt to the new environment, I've been in a mess before, and I just woke up some time ago." "I can know what I've done and encountered in the past ten years, but it's all from the perspective of a bystander, and in addition to the sense of battle, I also have a lot of knowledge and experience that I shouldn't know, but it's all related to the world on the edge." So I suspect that this little thing picked up the wrong thing when it was stuffed in, and mistakenly picked up a sleeping soul on the edge of the road. โ
"That's how you describe it...... Forget it, whatever you like. Monica said helplessly, "Then you ...... now Memories of this world ......"
"The memory of the soul before, apart from knowledge and combat awareness, is almost a blank for me. Only when I see some special environments, well, it should belong to the kind of memory that is more memorable, and some very vague memory fragments will flash in my mind. โ
"I see, no wonder you said that everything is just your guess, because the memories of both worlds are vague and vague, and you can't even be sure if it was the little Babu in Thor Town who suddenly had some more experience knowledge and memory fragments, or the soul from the edge that entered the body of the little Babu." Monica sighed, her eyes becoming a little pitying, "It's complicated indeed, so, who do you think you're more of?" Little Babu in the town of Saul, or little Babu in the town of Saul? โ
"That's the most critical issue of the day." Babu sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that I don't know either. I struggled with this question at first, and almost drove myself crazy, but this little thing told me the answer, and I stopped dwelling on it. โ
"Huh?"
"A Bรกb is a Bรกb." Babu spread her hands, "Monica with Babu of the Babu Chamber of Commerce." โ
"Hey, you're going to talk, don't you, dead kid." Monica gave him a blank look and patted the handwriting on the wall, "You just remembered some fragments of memories about this place, which is why you became so strange?" โ
"Yes, as soon as I entered the city, I saw a lot of memory fragments, and I knew that I had been to this city." Babu patted the relief under him, "The most fragments are this art museum, and the most profound of them is this graffiti." โ
"You guys must have come to steal from other people, I thought something was wrong with your skills before, plus the belt you got the other day. And not only stole other people's things, but also left messages to ridicule, fortunately people didn't see it, otherwise don't be mad. Monica's expression had relaxed, and she moved to the side, closing the distance a little, "No, I'm going to put my handbag away in the future." โ
"It's useless." Babu stared into Monica's eyes and said meaningfully, "Stealing handbags is the most basic thief's job, and I'm going to steal your other things." โ
"What is it?" Monica looked at Babu with her chin propped up, her gaze like water.
"What is it?" Babu's voice grew quieter and closer, until it reached Monica's ear, and she could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats clearly, "Of course it's ......"
However, before he could finish speaking, Monica kicked him off the relief.
"Dead children who don't learn well still want to do bad things." Monica touched her hot ears, where she still felt like she had just been sprayed with hot air. Letting the roots of her ears cool down, Monica straightened up and jumped off the relief, and gently kicked Babu who was lying on the ground holding Anna and pretending to be dead with her toes, "Get up, don't play tricks here." Even if you feel sorry for others before, you don't have to wipe the floor. I know you're in a bad mood and want to go out and take a walk, but now that you've had enough, it's time to go home. โ
"I'm not just in a bad mood to go around." Babu leaned his arms and looked at the exquisite oil paintings and reliefs on the top of the gate, squinting his eyes and whispering, "As I said earlier, this is one of the most famous art museums in the Western Continent. โ
"Huh?" Monica was stunned for a moment, slowly took a few steps back to open the distance, and looked up at the huge building.
The heavy stone walls, the stone itself has its own color, and the stones of different colors are spliced together to form a huge picture that will never fade. The top of the spire tower is towering into the sky, and on the windows under the top of the tower, the stained glass flashes with colorful light, making the static building move, and there are hundreds of windows distributed on the front wall more than 200 meters wide, and each window is carved with different reliefs of different shapes outside the window frame, none of these reliefs are the same, or people, or animals, or flowers, so that the whole building itself is like a huge work of art.
However, such a scene can only be restored in memory or imagination, and the current art museum is as embarrassed as the city.
The windows, along with the window frames, were almost all smashed, and the reliefs were mostly destroyed, cracks were everywhere in the walls, and in some places they even collapsed directly, and even the two heavy doors had fallen to the ground, and they were falling outward, revealing the black hole inside.
It was daytime after all, and although it was dim, it was still faintly visible, and it was also a mess, more than a bleak scene that could be described as chaos, everything had been turned to the ground, everything was broken and almost turned into pieces, as if it had been combed and sifted over and over again. Not only the things on the ground, but also the paintings and decorations hanging on the walls are gone, some of them still have their frames left to hang on the wall, and some of them don't even have the frames, only one trace of hanging things remains on the wall.
"There may indeed be a lot of treasures here that were originally priceless." Monica sighed in disappointment and shook her head, "But in the current world, there may not be any value. And looking at the way it is now, I'm afraid there is nothing left. โ
"The Dulun Art Museum has the most top-notch security measures, and the highest-level storage room inside is said to be safe enough to withstand the impact of the doomsday, and it has been lost once since it was built."
"And then being taunted for your hospitality?"
"Ahem, that's just a polite greeting, not a taunt, not a taunt." Babu coughed dryly, got up and patted the soil, licked his lips, and his face was flushed with excitement, "Those storage rooms, even the most professional art collectors may not be able to find them, and if they do, they may not be able to enter, not to mention that this situation is only being looted by laymen." I think that unless it was deliberately transferred, there is a high probability that the best collections in it are still kept in the secret room. โ
"Hmm...... I won't ask the art collectors what is going on, but are you sure that the collections you are talking about are also valuable to us now? Don't forget the painting you found from the bank. โ
"It's a fake, it's enough to mess with the real thing, but it can't be counted. And as long as it is a really good thing, the artistic value is often the same, even if it is in different worlds, you can always meet people who know the goods. "And if my memory doesn't fool me, the twenty-five pieces of the highest level of the Dulun Art Museum, oh no, are twenty-four pieces in the collection, including the golden mask of the ancient Pok kingdom, the gem crown of the ancient millera era, and a series of high-value treasures, even if you don't count the historical value and collection value, it is enough to make people scramble for it." โ
"Hiss......" Monica's eyes flickered, obviously tempted, "Such a big building, I don't know how many mutants are hidden in it, if you want to explore, I'm afraid it won't be over in a few days." Let's go home first, Judy is still waiting in the car, go back and take her with you, find a safe camp first, and then come back and explore slowly. This time, you must dig out all the treasures hidden inside, and if not, you can wait for a month's ride. โ
"Hey."
"Hey, let's go."
