A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

That's good. I'll tell the doctor about it when I get back. Then I can give her a surprise and she won't have to worry about money in the future.

Even if his body cannot hold on, he can directly cut off the connection between Originium Disease and himself. He can still be a healthy person who does not suffer from Originium Disease, and his safety is absolutely guaranteed.

Although there is a safer method, which is to specifically select patients with ore disease for treatment and extract the Origin Stone from them. Although this method seems to be safe for the body, it is actually more dangerous.

This is a terminal disease. Not to mention curing it, even alleviating and delaying it are currently difficult to achieve. If Yabu suddenly shows too many people the ability to treat Originium disease, then he and the doctor, the two shady people, will probably In a few days, you will face the danger of "just wait for me, we will be at your doorstep."

Even if Zhabu's control ability doesn't cure the person immediately, but just slightly alleviates the symptoms of the ore disease patient, it may attract some very troublesome attention.

As for what some people would think of, locking up a person and using him as a breeding ground to stone him... Hey, you are really one of the best chefs. Can someone please drag out these war criminals and shoot a few of them? minute.

Therefore, if the method of pretending to be a doctor and removing stones from others is not enough, then the next best thing is to use yourself as a petri dish, let yourself grow stones, and then remove them from yourself.

The main ways of contracting Ore Disease are through contact with a large amount of Origin Stone, or due to other reasons such as being scratched by the Origin Stone, causing the Origin Stone to enter the body and cause infection. Then Yabu just needs to find an infected person, drop some stones, and give it to himself. , you should be able to get ore disease.

"Kid, can you hear me?"

After putting on a hood and mask to cover his face, and using his marking ability to confirm that no one around him could see him, Yabu walked into the alley, trotted to the child, and gently shouted the little guy who fell into a coma.

"Huh...ha..."

The little guy didn't respond, he just curled up unconscious and gasped.

Well, it can be seen from the mark that she is in urgent need of treatment. This child is full of problems now. Compared with her, the doctor is healthy.

——Link.

Without saying anything else, Yabu knelt down and immediately deployed his abilities to start treating him. To be on the safe side, Yabu did not read out the name of his abilities in front of outsiders.

When the ability is activated, countless connections between things are visualized in Yanbu's field of vision into interlocking chains, extending inwards or outwards until the ends of the chains begin to fade.

There are too many chains, but Mark's ability can play a supporting role in marking those chains that can achieve the desired result after being cut.

——Mark.

——[Cut off the chain that can cure her ore disease, and mark it with red.]

The activation was completed instantly. After determining the filter words, without any reading time, Mark completed Yabu's request and had some chains wrapped in red, just like adding key props in the game. Like a layer of conspicuous light edges.

All that's left to do now is cut off.

Although the chain looks extremely strong, it does not have any hardness, and it can be cut with just a flick of your finger like butter.

But it doesn't matter even if Yabu accidentally touches an unrelated chain, because only after Yabu touches the chain he wants to cut off and confirms that he wants to cut it, the chain that is confirmed to be cut will be destroyed. .

He used both hands together, and used his left hand to directly break the chains that spread outward, while some of the chains that extended inward in the body, in order to take care of the child's feelings, he would use the branch he carried with him in his right hand to break the chains without touching them. Touch the girl and break the chains in her body.

The branches on the right hand would move across the girl's body as if they were not on the same layer, and the left hand would not stop for a moment, extending its index finger and continuously crossing the air.

Like a music conductor, guiding life to play a symphony of new life.

As Yabu cut off the numerous chains one by one like a conductor, some small kidney stone-like particles were "pushed" out of the little guy's body regardless of the collision volume, as if those particles were transformed into They became phantoms, but after falling out, they fell to the ground in solid form.

The Originium crystals gradually peeled off from the body surface and body. The trembling little guy curled up in a ball slowly calmed down. His body no longer stopped shaking due to pain, and even his breathing began to become smoother.

The results are so quick that field doctors have to call him "nice doctor".

"It's okay kid, you're safe."

After cutting off the last chain marked with red, and using the marked ability to examine the child's body and remove some physical diseases, the little guy's body has become as healthy as a new life.

After thinking that it was enough, Yabu turned off the link ability and looked down at the Source Stone crystals that fell on the ground.

"As for this painful thing, just let me do it."

You can't control this money, the water is deep, let me come.

Then, he lowered his head and started picking up the Originium particles and debris on the ground like picking up rags, regardless of his appearance.

After picking up the large piece of Origin Stone, he held it in his right hand. Some of the tiny Origin Stone particles and debris were carefully gathered into a pile, then scooped up with paper and poured into the prepared plastic bag.

The whole person looks like a dog.

Moreover, because he had not eaten for a day due to acclimatization, and he had been squatting and then suddenly stood up, Yabu's legs and feet were now weak, and he was still out of breath when he walked. It can be said that he looked quiet when he was being treated just now. How solemn, how dignified is the current appearance of kidney deficiency.

However, the efficiency was not slow. After a while, all the Origin Stones on the ground were packed into his pocket by Yabu. The ground was so clean that not a grain of rice was left.

"Okay, then..."

After finishing cleaning up, Yabu turned his head and looked at the children who were huddled together like watermelon bugs because they felt insecure.

The help this little guy needs is probably to survive. Now there is no trace of Origin Stone in her body. Even some hidden wounds and diseases in her body have been cut away by Yabu through the link. The whole person can be said to be unprecedented. of health.

Yabu could feel that the repatriation function of the pendant had gradually begun to take effect. If he wanted to, he could go back immediately, but he could also stay for a while.

He walked to the little guy's side, gently wiped the child's forehead with his sleeve, wiped the muddy water and cold sweat on her face without hesitation, and then took out some money from the change he brought After stuffing it into the pocket of the child's jacket.

The pendant can only be repatriated with dead objects, not living people, which involves some existential issues, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't take the child back.

What he can do is to do his best to take care of the little guy in front of him during the time when he is about to be repatriated, so that she can be more comfortable. Maybe if there is a chance in the future, he will use the marking ability to find this child. See if she is doing well.

"Then, I'll go first...hey hey?"

But the outstretched hand failed to be retracted successfully. Instead, the girl held her tightly in her arms like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw despite being unconscious.

Why does it feel a bit familiar? Do everyone who sleeps in this world like this?

Chapter 14 Why do children today always have weird goals?

Feeling the heavy tug on his arm, Yabu tried to pull his arm out, but his move to leave alarmed the child holding his arm.

As if he was having a stress reaction, the little guy grabbed Yabu's arm and pulled it down suddenly. The huge pulling force almost made him kneel down on the ground.

"???"

No, don't be like this, kid, I've said enough, if you don't leave, it will be rude.

And what is going on, why is a child so strong?

Is this some kind of bear power? It doesn't seem right. What race does this little guy belong to? It doesn't look like he has bear ears.

"Are you awake?"

"Huh...um..."

Well, awake, but not fully awake.

Although the girl responded with a weak voice, trying to show that she was awake, the vague voice could still be heard, and she appeared to be in a state of just waking up from a coma.

"......do not go."

"But it's almost time for me to leave, kid."

And there is no way to do it a second time.

The pendant can be teleported only once to each person, and there will be no second chance. This is to prevent someone from wanting to shake themselves over as soon as something happens, causing the pendant's teleportation to become a directed teleportation to a single person. , so that he has no chance to teleport to other places.

Of course, this kind of pure calculation may sound boring. If you want, you can also understand it in a more fairy tale way. The opportunities for miracles in stories are always limited, just like there are only seven times for seven-color flowers and only three times for magic lamps. But Yabu is not as powerful as them, so it only happens once.

"Don't... don't go, stay with me." The girl did not open her eyes, feeling still groggy, but her hoarse voice was much more urgent, even with a hint of pleading.

It's a bit of a shame, kid, isn't this just like asking for three more wishes?

But listening to the child's pleading voice, Yanbu sat down beside the child helplessly, blocked all thoughts of leaving, and decided to spend the remaining time with the child.

Probably because he was afraid that Yabu would regret it, in the face of Yabu's indulgence, the little guy not only did not let go of his hands, but further occupied the space, hugged Yabu's entire arms and stuffed them into his arms, and his whole body seemed to be hanging on Same as above.

"Well... although it is a happy thing to be trusted by others, you still have to be careful outside, kid. Why do you want me to accompany you?"

If you want something or want to know something, Yanbu can still understand it. After all, this is what he is here to do, but if he wants to accompany him for such a thing, he must not be familiar with this child. Why would he want him? Such a stranger is accompanying me.

"Not a bad person, no noise, not at all, very quiet..." The little guy leaned his head on Yabu's body, squinting his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep again.

"That's right." Yabu nodded as if he understood what the child said.

But in fact, I didn’t understand it at all. I was just trying to coax the kids.

But since the child has said this, it means that she must have her own way of distinguishing good from bad, and she doesn't have to worry about meeting bad people.

"The time is almost up, kid, I should go...hiss." Yabu took a breath of pain, looked down at the little guy who was hugging him tightly and wouldn't let go, "No more. You can’t even use force, kid.”

"why?"

The girl raised her head and opened her somewhat sleepy eyes, leaving the appearance of the cloth in her slightly hazy purple-ruby pupils. However, probably because she was still a little sleepy, the little guy tried hard to lift his head. My head would knock down from time to time, as if I was sleepy in class.

"Well, actually, I am an elf who helps people realize their wishes. I will return to the Fairy Castle when the time comes."

"The pronunciation of this sentence is wrong, it is false..."

"Ah..." Seeing that his words to coax the child were ruthlessly exposed, Yabu turned his head away in embarrassment, not wanting to look at the girl.

"why?"

She wasn't asking why Yabu lied to her. What she wanted to ask was still why Yabu couldn't accompany her.

"Because I was teleported here suddenly, and I will go back after I finish my work. And now the time is coming, and I will be teleported away when the time is up." Yabu had no choice but to truthfully explain the mechanism of the teleportation.

However, he didn't think the children would understand. He just used the way of coaxing the children to explain it, but it was actually because he was afraid that the children would think he was talking nonsense and that he was lying.

Although calling yourself an elf is kind of nonsense.

"This sentence is very quiet, is it true, huh...?"

But the little guy unexpectedly understood, or recognized that what Yabu said was true, and even she herself made a confused sound from her throat.

"...So you will definitely leave?"

"It's great that you understand."

Feeling that his arm that had been "swallowed" by the woman was gradually loosened, Yabu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the girl and asked: "Is there anything else I can do for you? Although there may not be enough time, but if I’ll do my best if I can.”

"What's your name?" The girl took a deep breath, filling her lungs with cool air and waking up her brain a little.

"桠布."

"Can I see you again? Or where should I go to find you?" The girl already understood that Yabu was telling the truth, so she also understood the preciousness of time. She asked what she wanted to know most without any delay. The problem.

"Of course, but I don't have a phone number. If you want to come find me, you can go..." Yabu suddenly paused. He quietly started Mark to search to see if the girl was planning something. Bad things.

After confirming that the child had no bad intentions, Yabu recalled the name of the area they were in that the doctor had mentioned to him when he was talking about moving the city-state.

"Chernobog, the approximate location should be #8 in the core area, but I don't know the specific location."

Because Yabu couldn't read street signs and had no idea what the name of any road was, he usually relied on signs to find things, which was a navigation-style wayfinding.

"I know, I'll find you."

enough.

It's just an area. It's the only quiet thing. You just need to find the quietest place based on the "sound".

Compared with the previous torture where there was no hope at all and just waiting for death in pain, now at least there is a clear goal.

"Is there anything else, kid?" Yabu waited patiently for the little guy.

Any more?this......

The girl felt a little weird.

And...?It turns out that I can still continue to ask for it?

"That's it, um, can you hug me?" The girl's voice was cautious, even stammering and confusing due to nervousness.

Can such an excessive request be met? But I’m so dirty, so such a request probably won’t be met...

But the next moment, a warm feeling enveloped the girl's body.

"Of course, kid, I hope you don't dislike me."

"......what."

This is the feeling.

Can't cry...it will make his clothes wet.

Seven years ago, since he was infected with ore, and after nearly [-] days of suffering, he, a sufferer of ore disease, was finally accepted and embraced for the first time.

People need to embrace such inconspicuous things.

This initial warmth is very simple to achieve, but for patients with oriopathy who are discriminated against, even this simplest need is a luxury.
