Wu Ye suddenly remembered how he came to this world. Perhaps if he hadn't been so eager to play games, he wouldn't have ended up here. Why did it have to be him? He was forcibly dragged here and thrown into the bloody wasteland. Who was this?

Although he couldn't come up with the answer just by thinking like this, Wu Ye looked at Akara thoughtfully.

But at this moment Akara was also silent, as if both sides had something they didn't want to tell the other.

"Wu, if you encounter anything related to this belief in the future, you must bring it back to me in time. My blind eyes tell me that this is not a good sign." Akara turned the topic to the prayer book again.

Wu Ye replied with a "yes," but since Akara didn't seem too eager to discuss it, he didn't press the issue. After all, even if he knew, what good would it do? He might not even be able to return!

"Grandma Akara, do you know of any houses for sale somewhere? Like, the kind I can afford?" Wu Ye asked Akara tentatively. After all, owning your own house is a very important thing! If I need to do something in the future, I won't have to worry about soundproofing, right?

Akara suddenly laughed when he heard this. Perhaps this young man could really change the world.

"Wu, I heard that you adopted a child, right?" Akara did not give Wu Ye an answer immediately but asked this question instead.

Wu Ye was also very confused. How did Akara know about this? He hadn't told anyone about it! Could it be Leah? That didn't make sense either.

"Yes, Grandma Akara. I did adopt a child some time ago. Her name is Betty. I took her in because I felt sorry for her!" Wu Ye looked at Akara's empty eyes. There were only whites, no pupils. It looked a little scary, though. But she wasn't born like that, was she? Perhaps...

"The child's parents both died on the third floor of the underground cemetery, and they were not killed by monsters! It seems to be man-made, and it may be a fallen person." Akara suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Ye, which made Wu Ye's heart tighten. Could it be that mysterious person?

"The Fallen? Grandma Akara, can you tell me in detail what the Fallen are? The last time we went to rescue Kane, we almost didn't make it back because of the Fallen!"

Wu Ye made many assumptions, such as why they fell.

"That group of people... were seduced by the devil and fell into depravity. They have a very strong evil aura. And this time, Diablo's projection seems to have been made by the fallen. If there were no suppression of the World Stone..." Akara expressed her concerns, and Wu Ye was also very worried about this matter.

If the rules of the World Stone are lost, will levels and equipment stats no longer exist?

Wu Ye once remembered that in Diablo 3, the High Heavens were occupied by demons. No one except Nephalem could defeat Diablo!

So if that person really exists, who is he?

"Grandma Akara, are there good people among the fallen? Or are they all bad?" Wu Ye suddenly felt that he was stupid for asking this question. If they were not bad, how could they become fallen?

"They were all good kids once... But the power of Hell is too strong, and those with fragile hearts are easily bewitched... It's not too late for them to turn back..."

While modern language might describe Akara as a saint, it's precisely because she loves everyone that Rogge's people embrace her so much. After all, fighting one person against another is meaningless. This is a battle between races and worlds!

"It's like this, Grandma Akara, when we went to rescue Kane, the Fallen One didn't kill me. After asking me some questions, he let me go and gave me a piece of equipment." Wu Ye said as he handed the equipment that he couldn't wear to Akara.

It was the call of the skeleton.

Akara used and touched the equipment, shook his head from time to time, closed his eyes and felt the breath and power of the equipment.

"Wu... I roughly know who he is. In the future, you should try not to contact him... Avoid fighting if possible. You must stay alive!" Akara suddenly reminded Wu Ye of the danger of the fallen one.

Wu Ye nodded. After all, this person's strength was probably similar to Kasha's. Because only from Kasha could one feel the same suppressive power as him.

If possible, who would want to face someone who can kill them at any time?!

"Oh, Grandma Akara... you haven't mentioned the house yet!" Wu Ye suddenly remembered why he came here.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, Wu! The little Betty you adopted before actually had a family. I sent someone to find out for you. But the little girl got lost because she wanted to go out to find her parents. Then she met you, so she didn't think about her family before." Akara handed Wu Ye an address. It recorded the location of Betty's previous home.

After a closer look, I realized that Betty's home and the place where I'd met her were at least halfway across Rogue City. No wonder she couldn't find her way. After all, children in the dark world don't tend to wander around, as their parents have always warned them from a young age that there are terrifying demons out there who prey on children.

While there are demons out there, they're not in the city. My heart aches for little Betty. She lost her parents at such a young age... If she hadn't met me, what would have happened if she had encountered those perverts?

Although humans are now united against the outside world, it cannot be ruled out that there are some psychopathic people who want to do something.

Just like the world before I traveled through time, I was abducted by human traffickers as a child. Some people may never know who their biological parents are or where they are. And some people may not even know their parents, even if they are desperately looking for them!

So human traffickers really should be shot! They've torn so many families apart. But I've strayed off topic.

"Go take Betty back and have a look! I'm sure Betty would be happy for you to live with her in that house." Akara said, took a sip of refreshing tea, and then fell silent. She was like an NPC in that respect! After this scene, she was silent!

Wu Ye took the note and left Akara's hut. He walked towards Leah's house thoughtfully.

…………

"When will big brother come back?" Betty hugged Leah's arm and asked her coquettishly.

Leah reached out and touched Betty's head.

"Brother Wu will be back soon! Then we can let him play with you, okay? Now let me play with you first." Leah seemed to like little Betty more and more. After all, obedient children are really cute! Very likable.

"Speaking of which, Sister Leah, why don't you go on an adventure with Big Brother? You clearly want to be with him so much! You're always dreaming of calling him 'Big Brother Wu, Big Brother Wu' and so on!" Betty looked at Leah with curiosity, which made Leah blush. Was Betty hearing such embarrassing things every day?!

"No...no...Little Betty, you're still young! You don't understand yet! You'll understand when you grow up!" Leah said stubbornly, blushing. She acted like a child who shouldn't interfere in adult matters.

"Ha! Big brother is back!" At this time, Betty, who was holding Leah's hand, suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed towards the door.

"Hmph! You still want to lie to me, your sister? I don't believe it!" Leah didn't believe Betty's words at all and thought she was trying to make fun of her!

Betty, who ignored Leah, suddenly stood up and ran to the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Wu Ye who was about to knock on the door!

"Uh! Little Betty, I'm back! And Leah, I'm back!" Wu Ye looked at Betty who was rushing towards him and picked her up. He felt the little girl's movements like a small animal rubbing against his chest. She was madly nuzzling against his chest!

Wu Ye didn't resist Betty, but he saw Leah sitting on the sofa looking at her hairband. Her slightly red cheeks made him wonder what had just happened.

"Big brother! You're finally back!! Sister Leah and I missed you so much!! Sister Leah even secretly learned a lot of snack-making methods from Aunt Mia when you were out! She wanted to wait for big brother to come back and make them for you!" Betty, who sold Leah out right away, didn't feel Leah's anger at all!

Hey, hey, hey! Don't get mad at the kids!

"Hmph... I didn't! I just wanted to eat it!" Wu Ye didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that Leah in front of him suddenly became arrogant! This made Wu Ye very happy. After all, he and Leah were already in a relationship, right?

Suddenly I thought about how happy it would be to return home safely after working hard outside!

"By the way, how did little Betty know I was back?" Wu Ye didn't quite understand. He hadn't knocked on the door yet and hadn't made any noise. How did this little girl find him?

"Betty didn't know either! I just felt that big brother was near me. So I came to open the door for big brother! Sister Leah didn't even believe what I said just now!" Betty pouted proudly, looking very complacent.

Wu Ye was surprised. This little girl... could she awaken to some amazing profession in the future?! But he also had a thought. It would be best if she was just an ordinary person... not fighting or anything like that. After all, people are selfish... who would want someone important to them to risk their life?

"That's amazing! Pat her on the head!" Wu Ye still patted Betty's head with praise. Betty was like a docile kitten, almost purring.

"By the way, Brother Wu. Now that you're back, you should have a good rest before going out on adventures!" What Leah meant was that she should spend more time with them.

Wu Ye also understood the meaning of these words. He had originally planned to practice well before going out, but this time he felt deeply how terrible the stiffness after being beaten was.

Flavius ​​had hit you so hard with a stick that you couldn't even stand up! It was truly speechless! In Flavius's words, you'd been beaten too little!!! You had no resistance to pain at all! Every hit took a long time to react due to the pain nerves.

"Okay...I plan to stay a little longer this time before going out! And...Betty, let me take you home to see someone, okay? Leah, come too!" Wu Ye put down Betty who was holding him, then turned and walked out the door.

Leah followed without hesitation and closed the door.

Betty stood there, held by Wu Ye and Liya's hands, and walked down the street.

Although he felt that people on the street were staring at him, the thick-skinned Wu Ye was no longer afraid!

The three of them walked for a long time...

Next to a tavern, Wu Ye and Bedelia stood side by side.

"Betty, we're here."

Wu Ye felt the hand he was holding suddenly being squeezed tighter.

Suddenly, Betty let go of her hand, walked to the window sill next to her, and took out a key from under a pot of flowers. She walked silently to the door and opened it.

Wu Ye followed him in.

A musty smell hit me in the face... After all, it had been a long time since I had smelled a living person. Maybe there were even rats, cockroaches, or something.

Looking at Betty who was standing in front with her head down and shaking.

Wu Ye walked forward, squatted down and hugged Betty.

The moment Betty was saved by Wu Ye, she burst into tears. She finally didn't have to endure it anymore.

"Be good... Betty! If your parents were still alive, they definitely wouldn't want to see such a lovely daughter of theirs cry!"

To be honest, Wu Ye is not very good at comforting others. It can be said that he cannot stand seeing others cry. Seeing others cry may be more painful than crying himself.

…………

With the combined efforts of the three of them, they finally cleaned the house! Betty's house was a three-story wooden shingle building. It was quite large, perfectly adequate for living, and had three rooms in total. The first floor housed the living room, kitchen, and other amenities. The second floor served as living quarters, and the third floor served as storage.

"Betty...can I really stay here?" Wu Ye couldn't help but ask Betty again, feeling like he had gotten a great deal. Although this was the truth.

"Big brother! Don't you want Betty anymore? Don't you want to be Betty's family?" Betty suddenly looked at Wu Ye angrily. Then she walked up to Wu Ye and gently kicked him. Then she turned her back, pretending to be angry.

"No! No! But I promised our lovely little Betty. I will be your family and will always protect you!" Wu Ye couldn't help but feel ashamed. Children are really difficult to deal with.

Leah, standing by, covered her mouth and laughed. She looked like she was watching a play. She knew that the moment Betty, who had lost her parents, met Wu Ye, it was like the sun suddenly appearing in a cloudy world, dispersing the dark clouds.

"Brother Wu, don't worry. Don't you know Betty is looking forward to your return every day?"

Leah finally spoke, and Betty suddenly snorted when she heard it.

Wu Ye scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

Does this really count as owning a "home"? I'll have to go back to the hotel owner to get a refund for the accommodation fee, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. After all, the hotel owner is actually a pretty nice person.
