"Click."

Judy put down the unprovoked broken quill, looked up at the hazy and gloomy sky outside the canopy, and sighed with a sad look in her eyes. Holding on to the boxes in the carriage, she slowly walked to the door of the carriage, feeling a faint vibration in the distance.

The violent shaking had stopped, and the movement of the battle had long since disappeared, but the faint aftershocks still broke out from time to time, and finally the aftershocks were over, but they waited for another five minutes and couldn't wait for the two to return, not only that, but after five minutes, there was a violent earthquake that was waiting, accompanied by a strong stirring of polluting energy.

After the earthquake, there was silence, no matter far or near, Judy didn't even know what was happening, she could only look worriedly at the direction from which the vibration came, caress the bandage carefully wrapped on her body, and sighed deeply again.

"So focused." Just as Judy was leaning on the caravan and looking into the distance in a daze, a familiar female voice suddenly came from her side, saying with a smile, "Are you worried about us?"

"No, I'm just thinking about how I'm going to take this car for myself and transport it to the present world if you don't come back."

Judy's straight back immediately softened, her eyes were full of joy, but her voice was extraordinarily calm, she turned around tremblingly and leaned on the support beside her, and sat down at the door of the caravan.

"Now that you're back, and you seem to be pretty good, I don't have to worry about not being able to carry the car alone. Well, what did you run into over there? You look like you're happy, so something good must have happened."

"Picked up something interesting." Monica smiled mysteriously, jumped into the caravan and sat down cross-legged, took off her handbag and placed it in front of her.

"Pick it up? The way you pick things up is unique." Judy looked at the direction of the earthquake just now, only to feel that the blood vessels in her forehead were throbbing, and even the wound was faintly throbbing, "Moreover, you used to do business with other people, did you all "pick up" like this?"

"Not normally, but today happens to be unusual." Monica briefly recounted what had just happened, and explained in a serious manner, "The three of us didn't move easily, and after the last surprise attack of the mutants, they lingered for a while and finally left. We waited a little longer to make sure it hadn't returned, and then we lifted the lid on the irrigation canal. But we were still a little worried that the mutants would follow secretly, so we made a big circle, and finally came back from the other side, just in time to see you looking outside worriedly."

"I'm not worried, I'm just looking forward to owning the car." Judy subconsciously emphasized it again, and then couldn't help but sigh, "But you guys are really bold enough, obviously you have already guessed that the mutant is also staring at this thing, and you dare to rob it on the spot, if there is no ditch there, you will be in trouble, huh?" You already knew there was a ditch there?"

"I don't know the path he chose." Monica shrugged and said as a matter of course, "Since he chose, I'll just go along, I should be able to get through."

"It's not common sense to step on a little bit to find a way out before you get a gift." Babu smiled mysteriously, avoiding the irrigation canal he had discovered when he had discovered, and said with great interest, "It should be unusual that so many people robbed this thing, and five lives were lost. Now let's make sure what kind of good stuff it is, and see if it's worth it to keep us blocked for so long."

"Wait." Finding that Babu was about to take out the loot in the storage bag, Judy suddenly raised her hand to stop it, "I suddenly remembered, listening to what you just said, the mutant has been staring at this thing, and as soon as you put it in the storage bag, the mutant was stimulated, which means that this mutant is likely to be able to sense the contents inside, will it be ...... to take it out now?"

"You noticed that too?" Monica was stunned and raised her chin at Babu, "He reminded me just now, so we tested it twice on the way back, and it didn't alarm the mutants. But your worries are justified, we're testing farther away than here, and it's a hassle to get into its sensing range if we get here, so let's move back a little farther away."

"I'll come

Well, I can afford this level of consumption now."

Judy waved her hand and pulled out a thick hardcover book from her robe, and on the dark cover, a red six-pointed star was drawn, and the six-pointed star was full of incomprehensible symbols.

The moment he saw the hard book, Babu only felt a tingling pain in his eyebrows, and his heartbeat was a few beats faster, and then he looked at Monica, and he also frowned and looked vigilant, and found that Babu had some worried eyes, so he explained that when he saw the book, he suddenly felt inexplicable palpitations.

"This is my spellcasting prop, it's normal to have heart palpitations, but it's not normal if you don't have heart palpitations." As he spoke, he glanced at Babu, "Besides, you don't need to be curious about the contents, it's impossible for a normal person to understand it."

"What if you could understand it?" Báb asked.

"Indicates that he is not normal, or has the potential to become a psychic mage, or...... It's just that he's deranged." Judy glared at him and added, "Also, let her stay away, this prop is very important to me, it affects my combat effectiveness very much, I'm really afraid that she will eat my law book."

Babu coughed awkwardly a few times, and hugged Anna back who had come to Judy's side at some point, since Judy had almost recovered, he was no longer willing to get close to Judy, and always kept his distance from her, and today Judy took out the law book and regained it. After being carried away, she twisted her hands and feet unsatisfactorily, and it was not until Babu wrote a few words in her palm that the little one smiled again.

"I want it, chicken legs."

"Before, wasn't it, sweet potato, was it okay?"

"Now, change, chicken legs, better than sweet potatoes, I want two." As he wrote, the little thing bit Babu's wrist and didn't let go, happily never reading Judy's Dharma book again.

Judy breathed a sigh of relief, holding the black book in her left hand, the index finger of her right hand pointed in the air, her lips opened and closed, and several incomprehensible bytes spit out from her mouth. Judy's right index finger pressed against the handbag, and the chanting in her mouth became faster and faster, and her voice became higher and higher-pitched, and during the chanting, the Dharma book automatically turned the page again, this time stopping at a page full of strange patterns.

Something strange happened, as soon as the page stopped this time, the intricate patterns on the page lit up, and each line emitted a faint light, and correspondingly, at the place of Judy's finger, the light also began to glow, and the shimmer quickly extended from point to line, and soon outlined the same lines on the page.

When the last line lit up, Judy spit out the last syllable, and slapped it on the floor of the caravan with her hand, all the patterns suddenly lit up for a moment, and then dimmed, completely disappeared, and Judy slammed the Dharma book and explained: "I temporarily blurred the energy overflow in the car, although I can't hide the energy, but I can make others unable to distinguish the energy characteristics inside, and it is just right to use it here." Well, now you can."

Babu and Monica looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction, Monica picked up her handbag, took a deep breath, and carefully pulled out the backpack in her handbag. At the same time, the figure flashed, and Babu was no longer in place, he had already climbed onto the roof of the car, staring closely in the direction where the mutant had appeared before.

The wind is calm and quiet.

After staring at it for a while, he let out a sigh of relief and flipped back into the carriage, "Safe."

Monica thought about it while holding her heavy backpack, didn't open it, but threw it to Babu, who had just returned: "I remember that you like to do this kind of thing the most, and you have found several good things in a row, so I will leave it to you this time, if you can't find a good thing, you can cook and eat it yourself tonight, Judy and I will eat it with Anna."

"This threat is so vicious, you've finally exposed the true nature of a female businessman, haven't you?" Babu rolled her eyes and protested, but her eyes shone brightly, she rubbed her hands, licked her lips and said, "But since you've asked for so, then you're welcome."

As he spoke, he untied the lacing of his backpack and poured out the contents of the backpack.

Before taking it out, the two of them had already touched it through their backpacks, and it was a rough, hard and heavy overall object, which should be a sculpture or something, but now that they looked, it was indeed a gray stone sculpture.

When the sculpture rolled out of the backpack, Babu reached out to hold it, but the moment his hand touched the sculpture, he only felt a sudden change in the scene in front of him.

It's hard to describe what he saw.

It was an open and open area, surrounded by only endless deep darkness, only the center was bright, as if it was a stage focused by lights, and in that deep darkness, there was a faint shadow wandering around. Although it is not clear how it looks, it can be determined that the shadow has a human form, at least a half-humanoid form, because its right half still looks like a normal person, while the left half of the body, starting from the position of the arm, differentiates into a tentacle, these tentacles twist and snake in the dark, gathering and scattering, shadowy, extremely mysterious, extremely weird.

Once again, without warning, he looked directly at such a strange existence, and the instinctive horror firmly grasped Babu's heart, and Babu only felt like a man's back, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, and a huge pressure rushed towards him, like facing the most terrifying beast, even if the other party was not aware of it at all, the fear from instinct would still make people tremble and be at a loss.

Wrong.

No sooner had the brain comprehended what it was seeing, and the experience engraved in the instinct gave a warning, and the Báb immediately remembered what had happened in the previous similar experiences, and immediately reacted, ready to remove his hand from the sculpture.

At the same time that Babu saw the tentacle humanoid, the tentacle humanoid seemed to sense something, and the wandering body stopped, and slowly turned to the direction where Babu cast his gaze, just as the black shadow turned his body, Babu had already retracted the hand holding the sculpture, and the next moment, the illusion dissipated, and his vision returned to normal vision.

"Ha, ha, ha."

Babu gasped, suddenly came back to his senses, and when his eyes refocused, he saw Monica's somewhat nervous face, and Judy who didn't know why, until he saw Babu wake up, Monica breathed a sigh of relief, handed her water bottle, and asked softly, "Are you okay, do you see those things again?"

"It should be." Babu took the kettle and poured it a few times, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said astringently, "This thing is far worse than when I saw Ira a few days ago, but it puts a lot more pressure on me than the one we scared away in Tanuki Town, which should represent their strength."

"It found you?"

"Not sure, but probably not, I cut ties before it could look at me." Babu sighed and said with a sigh of relief, "Just like the last time I cut contact with Ronak when I spied on him and didn't find out, it should be the same this time."

"What do you mean? Do you see other juggernauts? From this statue? And something similar has happened before? Including the kind of gods like Ira?" Judy's eyes under the bandage widened more and more, and her voice involuntarily raised a lot, and she couldn't wait to ask, "What kind of things do you see?"

Looking at Judy's eyes that were almost flashing, Babu sighed secretly, and patiently described to her the tentacle figure he saw, Monica on the side was a little surprised when she heard it, and couldn't help but shudder a few times just by listening to the description, but Judy's tone was a little strange, and her finger pointed to the side: "Is this image you talking about?"

Judy's finger was the strange sculpture that had tumbled to the ground.

Just now, when the incident happened suddenly, Ba Wei was in it, Monica was concerned, and neither of them had time to look at the statue closely, until Judy reminded them, and their eyes once again turned to the gray sculpture.

It was a humanoid stone sculpture about the length of *** arm, the stone sculpture was wearing a robe-like dress, from the hood to the feet, and the head was lowered, basically no physical features could be seen, the only distinguishable feature was the left side of its body, from under the burqa a few looming tentacles.

Looking closely at the sculpture, Babu found that he didn't notice that the sculpture was the object he saw in his vision, probably not because he ignored it, but because when he observed the sculpture, he needed to pay more attention to understand the morphological characteristics of the statue, otherwise he would turn a blind eye and not react at all. It seems that I had a similar feeling when I saw the statue of Ira before, but it was hard not to focus on such a huge sculpture, so the feeling was ignored by Babu and only now was noticed.

"Phew, why is this thing so scary

people." Before Babu could say how she felt, Monica took a deep breath as if she had woken up from a nightmare, wiped her cold sweat and said, "When I saw it, I felt an inexplicable sense of fear, like seeing a statue of Ira for the first time."

"You feel that way, too?" Judy sighed, "That seems right, this thing is probably the idol of a certain god, although it is not as exaggerated as the main god statue in the center of Donggu City, but at least it is also a god that can be associated with the god, otherwise it will not affect cognition, and it will not have a natural fear effect." Fortunately, it's us high-resistance marginal travelers, if we were ordinary people, I am afraid that the first glance will not be able to slow down for days or even months."

"Idols?" Babu and Monica looked at each other blankly, both feeling a little dry in their mouths, Babu sighed, stared at the sculpture and muttered with a wry smile, "It seems that curiosity can sometimes kill cats, and we have itchy hands for a while, and it seems that we have picked up something terrible." Am I lucky? I don't think I have to cook my own food tonight."

"Okay, that's a bit too much." Monica also kept her distance from the mysterious idol, "As for dinner, I think it's better to think about how many more you can eat first, and I'll make it for you as long as I still have a chance to eat."

"You two ......" Judy raised her hand and covered the sculpture with the tarpaulin next to her, "Instead of flirting with the idol, let's think about how to deal with this trouble first, now that we are involved, throw it away...... It doesn't seem good."

"If we find a lost item, of course we have to return it to the owner, we are travelers, not marginal locusts, how can we do this kind of behavior of coveting other people's valuables." Babu said seriously, picked up the original backpack, and wanted to do it himself, but after a little hesitation, he handed it to Monica, "This thing may come out of the present world on the other side of the river, whether it is or not, go and see it tomorrow, such a troublesome thing, it is best to send it back and break off the relationship with us, I really can't find the owner and then find a way." But I don't really want to cross the river, I always feel like the thing in the river isn't dead yet."

"It's not too early, let's rest for the night today, and then find a way to cross the river tomorrow." Monica took the backpack, put the sculpture back away, and finally hid it back in the storage handbag, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the three small stone houses nearby, then at the direction of the riverbank in the distance, and frowned, "But I always feel that it is worrying to be so close to those tentacles."

"Come with me, I found something else when I stepped on the spot before." Regardless of how the other two understood, Babu picked up Anna, who was deliberately away from the handbag, and stuffed her into the caravan and beckoned everyone, "Come with me, it should be much safer there, it's just ...... Well, I hope it likes it."
