Chapter 161 This Child is an Acquaintance
Vic searched for a long time and knocked on the doors of several clothing stores before finally finding one that was open. He almost broke into the door with a knife and stole the clothes.
After buying several sets of children's clothes, I went to look for a bathhouse. Luckily, there was one that was still open.
"Rebecca, just wait outside for a moment. I'll go in and wash him and come out soon."
Vic gave Rebecca some instructions, then took a set of clothes and carried the little guy into the men's bathhouse.
But after a while, Vic came out holding the little guy, and his expression changed a little.
"What's wrong? Why did you come out so soon? You haven't even washed, you haven't even changed your clothes, and your face is still dirty!" Rebecca was a little confused.
"Hehe, this is not a little boy, she is actually a little girl. It's a bit inconvenient for me, so you take her to the women's bathhouse to take a bath. I'll change her clothes into those of a little girl!" Vic said somewhat embarrassedly.
He had always thought that it was a little boy with short boyish hair and a dirty face that made it hard to tell whether it was a boy or a girl. But after he took off the little girl's clothes in the bathhouse, he realized that it was a little girl!
The little girl was still standing there, looking at him with a smile on her face, a little shy. He suddenly became nervous and quickly put clothes on the little girl and carried her out.
Now the little girl is still looking at him with a smile on her face, it's so embarrassing, if you are a little girl, you should have said it earlier, uh, the little girl hasn't spoken a word yet.
Vic ran away with the other clothes as if he was escaping. Rebecca looked at Vic's back with some suspicion. She always felt that there was something she didn't know. After thinking about it for a while, she still couldn't figure out what it was. Forget it, she shook her head and simply stopped thinking about it. She took the little girl's hand and walked into the women's bathhouse.
When Vic came back with the girl's clothes, he saw a little girl wearing a brand new set of boy's clothes. She had sea-blue hair and a cute little face. She stood pretty next to Rebecca. Now she didn't let Rebecca hug her.
Vic took one look and thought, well, it was so cute. He took another look and thought, well, it was still so cute. Vic stared at it for a while. He always felt that this little face was somewhat familiar.
"Now that we've packed up, let's go back. It's too late!" Vic came to his senses, greeted the two of them and walked towards the hotel. Rebecca also wanted to hold the girl's hand and walk forward, but the girl was unwilling.
"What's the matter? Don't you want to go back with us?" Rebecca squatted down and asked softly. Vic also turned around and looked at the little girl.
"Hold me!" The little girl opened her arms towards Vic, her cute little face full of anticipation, indicating that she wanted Vic to hold her.
"Oh, you can speak! Why didn't you speak before?" Vic said as he picked up the little girl. Rebecca pouted beside him. This little girl was really attached to Vic.
"Yes!" The little girl smiled and said one word.
"Ha, you're still speaking word by word. What's your name?" Vic asked with a smile.
"My name is Vic, hehe!" The little girl giggled, as if she hadn't laughed so easily in a long time. That innocent smile was heartbreaking to see.
"Oh, now you can speak coherently! Vic is my name, I was asking your name? Hahaha!" Vic also laughed.
"This little girl is so smart and can read people's expressions at such a young age. What will she be like when she grows up?" Rebecca shook her head and thought to herself.
"Hehe, my name is Ian!" Ian said his name with a smile. Rebecca didn't think anything of it, but Vic was stunned when he heard the name.
"Oh my god! Isn't this the only female student who survived on Zefa's recruit ship? If Rebecca and I hadn't tripped her on the road, would she have run to the hotel and been rescued by Zefa?
No wonder in the previous life, when I watched the movie version of Z, Ein's feelings for Zephyr were not like those of a master and a disciple, but more like those of a father and daughter, and maybe even a hint of admiration.
Could it be that Binz is among this group of people? Let's go to the naval base and ask tomorrow. No, given the high standards of the human traffickers, Binz's appearance is not acceptable to them. He should not be among them, absolutely not. This must be the case!"
"Vic? What are you thinking about? You're in a daze when you hear Ian's name?" Rebecca patted Vic's arm. Ian also looked up at Vic with some confusion.
"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about something. By the way, Iin, I saw you eating a strange fruit before. How did it taste? Did you feel any changes in your body?" Vic remembered that in the movie, Iin was a person with the ability to eat the retrograde fruit, so the one Iin ate before should be that fruit.
"Strange fruit? Could it be a devil fruit?" Rebecca's heart moved.
"Yeah! I saw it falling from the tree when I was running away. It wasn't like that originally, but it changed after it fell. The fruit was so disgusting that I almost vomited. If I wasn't so hungry, I would never eat it. As for my body? I feel like I can mobilize a kind of power now." Iin said with his little face raised.
Vic couldn't help but sigh, what kind of luck is this, God gave me a devil fruit! I couldn't find what I wanted, but God gave it to me when I didn't know anything.
The same is true for Robin's Flower-Flower Fruit. Robin ate the Flower-Flower Fruit in this way when she was a child. At that time, she didn't know what a devil fruit was, and was isolated and bullied by other children as a monster.
"You've eaten a devil fruit. You can't go playing in the sea anymore, or you'll drown!" Vic was sure that Iin had eaten a devil fruit, so he warned Iin.
"Vic, did Ian really eat the devil fruit?" Rebecca asked curiously.
"That should be right. She ate right at your feet, leaving nothing behind!"
"Isn't that the same as you were back then? Not letting go at all!" Rebecca said secretly in her heart. She didn't say this out loud. This little girl was a little bit coquettish, and she didn't dare to reveal it.
"Let's go and see what the ability of Iin's devil fruit is!" Vic said to Rebecca. Iin's face was full of confusion, but as long as he could stay in Vic's arms, nothing else mattered.
Vic found a tree as thick as a wooden barrel near the hotel. He cut off a branch with a knife and looked at the growth rings. There were fifteen circles. It was enough. In the movie version, Big Iin could only make people go back 12 years at most. The young Iin now definitely doesn't have that ability.
"Ian, release the power you sense on this tree and let me see what abilities you gain!" Vic placed Ian at the foot of the tree and encouraged him.
