A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

On the pendant, there is an additional layer of transparent soft plastic protective shell, which is completely wrapped from the body to the chain, and no trace of the pendant is exposed.

"Didn't you tell me everything? The protective shell literally means to prevent this thing from being damaged." Texas did not immediately push the pendant in front of Lapland. She seemed to have her own concerns about this.

"You keep asking for it back from me, I don't have a problem with it, but when you take it, don't stuff it into your pocket like a cheap toy bought at a local stall. The value of this thing should be something you should I also know that the client requires me to keep it intact. If it gets scratched or damaged due to a bump, I will be the one in trouble."

It sounded extremely reasonable, and she even accused Lapland of treating the pendant she cherished too casually, leaving her a little confused as to how to refute it.

But in fact this was preprogrammed rhetoric from Texas.

Through the discussion with Yao Bu yesterday, she and Yao Bu finally came up with a slight possibility.

There are two possible reasons for Yabu's memory loss.One is caused by a certain triggering condition, and the other is completely random.

The latter cannot be predicted and there is no way to prevent it, so there is no point in continuing to study it, so they focus on exploring the possibility of the former.

After a period of thinking, repeated consideration, and inspection of the status changes of the pendant, and after comparing and checking the situation of the pendant, they vaguely guessed a vague possibility - contact or possession.

Yabu's memory may change depending on who last touched the pendant, or who last held it.

The safest thing is naturally not to let Lapland have contact with the pendant, but this is obviously impossible. Lapland values ​​this pendant extremely, and she will definitely find various reasons to take the pendant back. If De Xus always refused to give it to her, which would definitely arouse Lapland's suspicion.

After Texas put a layer of film on Yabu last night, he tried to let people from the store downstairs touch him after he was ready. However, Yabu did not have amnesia at that time, which means that the trigger conditions It should not be "held".

Then the only thing that needs to be guarded against is contact.

Qian!.,Xun;',;;Free.'"Fei?,'小;'Said.;'skirt!:?:2..5"5;:"5""??9,5'!? !;3:.?;0?0 “Since you want to hold it, then be conscious about protecting this pendant. "Texas pushed the pendant in front of Lapland, his tone of voice was slow and steady, without any ups and downs or flaws, and his facial expression remained calm without any unnecessary emotion.

Although this look sometimes makes people think she is cold, most of the time, it is a perfect disguise. This indifferent and calm look gives people a feeling of having no desires and desires, as if nothing has anything to do with her. This trait often makes people think that she is someone who cannot lie, which is exactly the effect achieved by her indifferent attitude.

"Don't remove the protective film randomly. It's very troublesome. I don't want to do it again."

"I know." After Lapland's dull reply, he grabbed the pendant in his hand, lowered his head and rubbed it with his hands.

There was nothing wrong with Texas' attitude and rhetoric, Lapland understood, but perhaps the fact that the other party was suddenly able to do the same thing as her made Lapland feel a faint illogical dark emotion in his heart. She couldn't understand what it was for the moment.

But Lapland did not reveal this inexplicable negative emotion, or she had no reason to reveal it because of Texas's attitude. In the end, she could only hold back and bury the emotion that had no place to vent deep in her heart and let it boil over. spread.

Probably because he was in a hurry to go to work, Texas lowered his head and ate at a speed that gradually increased. Looking at the other party's indifferent look, Lapland felt a little relieved, but then the sense of security caused by this made her feel ups and downs. tumbling.

The things she cherishes need to be ignored by the other person in order to feel at ease. This cowardly but really thought that appeared in her heart made her feel that the food in front of her became tasteless.

But Texas was actually the same at the moment. She wasn't paying attention to the taste of the food, but another thing.

The conclusion has been drawn, and everything that needs to be done has been done, but after watching Lapland take the pendant in his hand, Texas could not stop muttering in his heart. While he lowered his head to eat, he no longer paid attention. Focus on the food in front of you, but diverge in the direction of the kitchen.

It wasn't until a moment later that Yabu came out with two cups of hot milk, looking like nothing had happened, like a waiter, that Texas's hanging heart relaxed a little.

"The pot is still hot. If it's not enough, tell me and I can cook it for you again right away."

It seems that the inference should be correct and there is no problem with the memory.

*The way to change the pendant is to touch it, not to hold it.

Chapter 79 There is no advantageous interval anymore

The pleasant breakfast time came to an end soon.

Of course, the word "pleasure" may not be comprehensive and appropriate.

Since they all had dinner together, there was no need to act too distant. Texas, as the only person with a car here, naturally assumed the responsibility of the driver and drove Lapland to the company.

However, the two people in the car were silent, each with their own thoughts. There was a low pressure of silence in the car, and the distance between the two people was invisibly widened.

Yabu, who was sitting in the back seat behind the two of them, couldn't find anything to say even if he wanted to say something. He and Texas had only known each other for a day, so they weren't very familiar with each other and couldn't find a topic.And Yabu has no memory of Lapland at all. If he speaks rashly, he may expose the fact that he has lost his memory.

The strange atmosphere made the entire carriage extremely silent, with only the sound of rolling wheels coming from outside.

This silent look made Yaobu ​​a little at a loss. He couldn't understand why the two of them were chatting in a friendly manner when they had just had breakfast, but they became like this as soon as they got in the car.

...Oh, no, it’s not like I can’t understand it, it’s probably because I have to go to work.

Oh, go to work.

The wolf ears of the two people in front looked like they were growing out of the pillows from the perspective of Yabu sitting in the back seat.

It is slightly upturned, showing a hint of ferocity, but the overall furry texture and gentle curvature make it difficult for people to associate it with aggression.

The sudden thought of going to work, as well as the ears twitching from time to time on the heads of the two people sitting in front, made Zibu think of a certain picture.

——Why are dogs so happy every day?

——Nonsense, dogs don’t need to go to work.

Okay, it's a different world now, and the dog needs to go to work.

This other world is so cruel.

But this made Yabu think of what he could say, so he controlled his body to float forward and poked his head forward from the gap between the seats.

Having said that... I am moving in the car like this. Is it moving at the same speed as the car? Is it just moving forward at a speed faster than the car? Or is it inside the car? Is it judged to be an independent space, and my movement is just moving within a space?

If it's the former...

Yabu glanced at the speed display on the instrument panel and silently put the problem behind him, classifying it as an idealistic one.

"Ya Bu, why are you suddenly sticking your head out?" When Lapland saw Ya Bu poking his head, he first turned his attention to Texas. She felt a little unhappy in her heart and frowned. She asked, trying to tell Ya Bu's Bring your attention back to yourself.

"Oh, I just wanted to ask, what is the specific content of your work?" Yabu's eyes moved away from the numerical values ​​​​on the dashboard that did not appear in urban areas, and he was temporarily restrained by Lapland's conversation. The urge to slow down Texas turned to ask the question that he originally wanted to know.

This question can be asked. Last night, Yabu learned some of the current situation from Texas. For example, Lapland joined the company yesterday. For example, he was away all day yesterday, so he didn’t know the specifics of the company. What you do makes sense.

"It's just normal logistics and transportation business. Of course, sometimes we may accept some other commissions, such as your pendant." Before Lapland could say anything, Texas, who was more familiar with the company, took the lead. Answered.

"So, are there any requirements for recruiting people?"

"There are no fixed requirements. If I insist on it...it may just depend on fate."

Texas was concentrating on driving, focusing on the road ahead. He didn't realize that his answer made Yabu's eyes move towards him again.When Lapland, who was in the passenger seat, saw this scene, the corners of his lips twisted slightly, and then he suppressed his expression hard and tried to pretend not to care.But her hands unconsciously clenched the arms she was holding, and her eyes remained glued to Yabu.

"Random?"

"Yeah...just let it go."

After all, whether or not to recruit people depends entirely on what the boss thinks at the time.

Texas seemed to find this answer a bit strange, and she added hesitantly: "We are a regular company."

But as soon as the words came out, Texas himself felt even more suspicious.Regardless of ability or status, and just verbally saying that it is a regular company, such an answer sounds like a place that needs to be closely monitored by the police.

Oh, wait a minute, it seems that he is indeed the target of the police's attention.

That's fine.

"Then can I join the job?"

"Huh? You want to join the job, this..." Due to the special characteristics of Zhe Bu's ghost body, Texas wanted to say that it was probably impossible, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was not impossible.

Although the other party needs someone to carry the pendant to move, which may seem like a disadvantage, but if you think about it from another perspective, this is actually an advantage. After all, as long as you spend a very small space with the pendant, you can have a portable one. Guard.And judging from the feedback from yesterday's kick, what the other party could do in terms of protection was probably enough to make Croissant lose his job on the spot.

As for the boss, you don’t need to think twice to know that Texas will basically not refuse. After all, there is a ghost employee in the company, and this ghost also delivers express delivery. The boss probably laughs out loud in the middle of the night just thinking about it. Come.

"No!" This time, it was Lapland who took the lead to stop the conversation.

When she heard that Yabu might be known to more people, she almost instinctively denied it, but then she realized a problem.

why not?

Texas's peripheral vision and Yabu's eyes turned to Lapland, waiting for her to state the reason why she was not allowed.

Only then did Lapland realize that there had never been any clear rules prohibiting Yabu from communicating with others and being known by others.It was just because Yabu could only chat with her in the past, and Texas kept mentioning the confidentiality agreement, which caused her to have an illusion.

The confidentiality agreement has never prohibited Yabu from doing anything, and Yabu can no longer only communicate with her, Lapland.

All this time, Lapland may have really not considered it, or he may have deliberately avoided a question - what if Yabu wants to contact other people?

In the past, Yabu could only communicate with her. Even if Yabu wanted to communicate with others, he could not do anything, so Lapland did not need to consider this issue.

But now, Yabu has Texas as a person with whom he can communicate, and he has even gained the ability to contact the outside world.

This means that even if he cannot communicate verbally, Yanbu can still communicate with the outside world through writing or through the channel of Texas. She, Lapland, is no longer necessary for him.

-------------------------------------

*An advantage that is unique to her and can make her feel at ease...

*has disappeared.

-------------------------------------

Chapter 80 Are you in charge of the food? Are you in charge of the food?

So if he wanted to... why not?

"Why do you suddenly want to work in the company?" Lapland couldn't think of a reasonable reason for refusal. If he remained silent, it might be regarded as unreasonable.So she answered the question first, bought some time for herself to think, and tried to dissuade Yabu, "You don't think this is interesting, do you? It's just delivering goods from here to there every day. It's not interesting at all." No."

"I can touch things now. Why don't I work with you? In this case, we can make two cents." Yabu didn't understand why Lapland looked unhappy. The only thing he could think of was that maybe it was because of work. Because of this, he thought about whether he could do his part to help. If Lapland could relax a little bit, he might be happier.

"Help me? There's no need for you to do that kind of thing." Lapland was too eager to get Yabu to give up the idea. For a while, he only focused on denying it and didn't consider the hurtful words.

She realized belatedly that her words were like saying that the cloth was completely useless, but the words had been poured out like water that could not be taken back. Lapland could only quickly make amends for her words: "Make money." Two cents is completely unnecessary, and it’s not like I need the money particularly, so there’s no need for you to come and follow me.”

"Being idle is also idle. I just go out and do some work to pass the time."

"You'd better not let more people know about it." Lapland couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so she directly expressed her thoughts, but she immediately noticed that this seemed to be a good reason, " After all, you are an abnormal creature. If you receive too much attention, be careful of being abducted and used for research. For example, the people in Colombia are said to be studying related things, and they may be paying attention to related things. , when I heard that there was such a thing like you, I came to arrest you immediately."

"...Are there any scientists who specialize in studying ghosts?"

Although it is not surprising that a person with superpowers would dabble in metaphysics when developing scientific research in another world, but according to what Yabu has learned from Texas so far, he is such a... very spooky "ghost", Basically it only appears in various works.

There are people dedicated to researching this thing, which sounds like a project to defraud scientific research funds by using the excuse of having a fire-breathing dragon in the garage.

"Will do."

It was not Lapland who answered the question, but Texas, who was driving and listening to the conversation between the two, gave an affirmative answer.

"I've been in Colombia before, and what Lapland said is indeed possible."

Although it sounds a bit abstract, when you think about this happening in Colombia, it instantly feels less abstract and even more reasonable.

That's Colombia... It's basically a superposition of when humanoid stars shine and when human stars shine. She had even heard rumors that savages would chat with plants for a day in the wild. Compared to For such outrageous things, it seems normal to study ghosts.

"Well, look, Texas said the same thing." Although Lapland was a little resistant, since Texas spoke for her, she naturally followed this advice and persuaded Yabu. "It doesn't matter if you follow me and do nothing. It doesn't mean that you have to work. You'd better try not to have contact with the outside world."

"Is that so..."

What Lapland wanted to express was that Yabu shouldn't do anything and just stay there. But like an old man who couldn't have any time at home, Yabu didn't choose to just rest after hearing the dissuasion. , instead, he thought for a moment and then asked: "Does your company take care of the food?"

"What's the question..." Lapland originally wanted to answer Yabu's question, but after hearing this escaping question, he was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

And she really didn't know the answer to this question. She had just joined the job less than a day ago. She didn't listen carefully when Texas explained it yesterday. Moreover, because Yabu didn't show up all day yesterday, Lapland was also upstairs at lunch. The next restaurant casually dealt with two people.

"Except for parties where someone will cook, we usually buy food from outside."

"Then I'll just do this. How about leaving the cooking to me, Lapland?" Yabu turned his head and looked in Lapland's direction, asking for Lapland's opinion, " I can make it for you in advance and put it into a thermos-proof bowl. Of course, it’s okay if you want to eat it out. This kind of thing is not mandatory, okay?”

"Ah, um..."

"What does Lapland like to eat?"

Although Lapland didn't want Yabu to do too much, this proposal was still somewhat attractive to her. Taking care of three meals a day was not a servant's behavior but more like a family member. She really couldn't refuse.

However, I just said that it was okay for Yao Bu not to dare to do anything. If he agreed easily to the other party now and asked what he wanted to eat, his words would be somewhat inconsistent.

So Lapland just whispered, "Anything is fine." Then he propped up his head and pretended to look out the window, but he still propped up his ears to listen carefully to the sounds in the car.

"Same to you Texas, if you have anything you want to eat, you can tell me."

"Huh? Can I do that too?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. We're neighbors, and I don't have anything else to do, so I won't be left unavailable."

Gee...

Hearing this, Lapland pursed his lips slightly while pretending to look at the scenery, praying in his heart that Texas would consciously and politely decline the proposal.

"Thank you, please, I'll pay for the ingredients." But Texas did not decline politely.

After all, judging from the breakfast situation, Yabu's ability in this area is indeed good. If he can find a nanny to cook for himself at the price of raw materials, he will make money no matter how he thinks about it.

“So is there anything you like to eat in Texas?”
