A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

The tight wrapping around his body did not make it difficult for the doctor to move as Yabu thought. After mentioning it to the pilot beside him, the doctor anxiously wanted to move forward.

But as soon as the doctor took a step forward, the man next to him, whom Yabu regarded as his driver, held the doctor's shoulders. Yabu, who was staring ahead, shouted to him: "Wait, Aide! It’s not over yet, the tracing results show that there is a seventh body behind you!”

Aid?

——Click, click...

The name he had never heard before made Yabu briefly confused.

Who is he calling?Is it yourself?

His out-of-the-box thinking caused him to put the focus of his words in the wrong place, completely failing to realize who the other party was talking to.

"Behind!"

After the doctor's voice acted as a mandatory reminder, Yabu, who was distracted, suddenly realized that the name was not the important point, but the second half of the sentence.

He reacted almost immediately and turned around, raising his hand to look at the powered armor that was close behind him. He had not turned off Link's ability. As long as he raised his hand to cut off the connection like before, the machine in front of him would follow it. Like other colleagues, they became a pile of parts.

But after turning his head to face the power armor, Yabu seemed to have seen something. His movements suddenly stopped, and he suddenly stopped his hand that was brushing forward.

'wrong. '

This power armor is weird.

The number of chains and "connections" on it are really too much. Compared with the previous powered armors, it's like comparing a newborn baby with a blank slate to several adults. Same, not the same magnitude at all.

It looks like a ball of yarn, and this number... is the number of connections that only a living person, maybe even an old man who has lived for a long time, can have.

There's... someone in this power armor?

An idea appeared in Yabu's mind, causing him to suddenly get stuck. He stopped waving forward and immediately changed the conditions of the mark.

——[Mark the position where I can avoid the opponent’s attack without being hurt]

First shift to the left, and then according to the marked position, you should squat down to lower your height.

- miss

Chapter 22 Toy Knife

Following the instructions of the mark, Yabu immediately turned sideways to dodge the mecha's attack, and kept his eyes fixed on the mecha.

'This is......'

If you want to fight back, you can just raise your hand, but there...

Can't do it.

——The next attack should be to jump to the marked brick two steps behind.

- miss

Although it is possible to remove only this layer of the machine shell with the matching mark, Yabu cannot guarantee whether the removal of this shell will affect the lives of the people inside. He needs to use the mark to confirm a few times, but now the mark is It is occupied to guide Yabu to dodge.

Yabu must ensure the safety of the people inside. This may sound strange. After all, they have already attacked the opponent. Even if there are live people inside, they are still enemies. The most important thing is to ensure their own safety first.

Naturally, one cannot be lenient towards the enemy, and Yabu understands this truth.

But Yabu still gave up the option of counterattack.

——The next time is the left punch, and you have to run to the marked position in front of the right.

- miss

Because he saw the connection chains extending from the things inside the power armor, one of which penetrated the shell and directly linked to himself.

Yabu had seen such a link before. He had seen such a chain when he was removing the Source Stone from the child named Elena in the alley.

And what this chain represents is...

'Ask for help? '

The cold and ruthless machine didn't care what Yao Bu thought. Not only did Bang Bang's two punches fail, not only did he not slow down at all, but he continued to speed up the punches. He wished that Yao Bu's iron fist, which died on the spot, continued to accelerate and fall ruthlessly. Yabu had no choice but to continue following the mark to dodge.

He followed the mark like a loach, avoiding the attack that would kill him on the spot as long as he was touched. The machine did not even touch him several times.

However, because the opponent's attacks are accelerating, the number of harmless locations that can be marked by markers is also decreasing.

Moreover, not only was the problem of the dodge positions constantly decreasing, but also because he did not exercise much physical strength, it was impossible for him to continue to exercise like this. After these few waves, he was already tired and started to pant.

Okay, okay, fat brother, you are stronger, so he has no choice but to...

"Doctor! Help, help! There are living people here! Can you control this mecha?"

Ah, shake people.

What about teammates? Where about teammates?Help!

If you don't have a move, you don't have a move. If you really can't do it, Yabu won't show off at all. After dodging the incoming iron fist again and getting some breathing time, Yabu directly started to shout at the doctor who was some distance behind him. Ask for help.

And just when Yabu called for help, his voice had not yet completely fallen...

——Just stand where you are.

when--!

With a crashing sound like iron, Yabu, who was resting on the spot following the guidance of the mark, saw something white appearing next to him, which acted as a block, allowing the iron fist of the power armor to have some effect. offset.

Although from the perspective of a spectator, it seemed that the iron fist had narrowly missed Yabu's side, but in fact the white material was extremely strong, and even the aftermath of the iron fist was blocked. It was very reliable. Yabu was not harmed in any way.

The white substance resisted for a moment, but it was enough, because in the next moment, Yabu saw a person who was so fast that he dragged out the afterimage appeared between him and the power armor, like a towering line. The walls there are like a city wall, giving people a sense of stability that will never collapse.

"pass it to me."

"Huh...can you control it without destroying it? There is someone inside." Yabu breathed heavily and adjusted his breathing, in order to prevent her from not hearing what she said before. , hurriedly reminded me again.

Although the fist of the woman in front of him looked white and slender, Yabu didn't know why. Looking at the aura of the other woman, he had an inexplicable premonition that she would definitely blow up the machine with one punch.

"it is good."

After responding crisply, the woman in front of her immediately opened her clenched fists, and without blushing, she received the next punch from the powered armor with her bare hands, and immediately tightened her palms like a hydraulic press. The hand that clamped the power armor.

"...Turtle."

Really just take the damage directly, who raised him to go on the road? Now he has found his big daddy.

Then, the white substance that Yabu had seen before appeared again. The substance began to grow from the palm of the lady's hand, and spread to the entire power armor at an extremely fast speed, as if giving this machine The machine was covered in a layer of snow-white frosting, making it completely unable to move at all.

"Thank you...but sister, you are so powerful, why didn't you come earlier?"

You're watching a show and acting as a teammate, right?

Although it was not polite to ask someone who had helped him, this direct attack was so outrageous that Yabu couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid that the sudden passing will affect you, and..." Looking at Yabu who was bending over with his hands on his knees and gasping for breath, the lady seemed to understand something and immediately stopped what she was about to say. The words that came out of my mouth were, "No, it's nothing."

It seems that at this time, he does not yet have the cyan heart-shaped Origin Stone skill.

"What to do next?"

"Let me take a breath. I'll be fine soon. Let me see if it's safe to peel the person out first."

"Okay." The lady took out some tissues from her pocket and handed them to the sweaty Yabu.

Although it could be vaguely felt that she cared about Yao Bu, because of her cold and cold expression like Tie Shi, she always gave people the appearance of not caring at all, which made Yao Bu feel uncomfortable facing the leader. I felt like I didn’t know if I should answer it for a while.

"This is Ceria."

The doctor who had already walked to Yabu introduced him to the name of the woman in front of him, took the tissue from Ceria's hand for Yabu, and wiped the sweat from his head for Yabu.

"Zhao Bu, how many times has this happened to you now?"

"what?"

"Okay, judging from your expression, I probably know, the first time... no, the second time?" The doctor wiped the sweat from Yabu, and used his other hand to cover her body. From the pocket of her thick coat near her chest, she pulled out a long, dark object and stuffed it into Yabu's hand.

Yabu lowered his head and looked at the "long strip" that was stuffed into his hand. The thing was as long as the palm of his hand. It looked like an unedged toy knife. It exuded a black metallic luster, but if you look closely, But you can see that the entire inside of the knife is filled with the texture of trees, as if the branches of some plant are embedded in it.

"What is this?" Yabu tried to hold the handle of the knife and waved it a few times. This thing felt like it was tailor-made for him, and it was as easy to pick it up as an extension of his own arm.

This is not a description, but it is really like an extension of the arm. Yabu can feel something in his body connected with the knife, just like the water in the pool has found a hole to flow out.

"Your staff, remember to hold this thing in the future, and then use your Origin Stone skills."

"...Why is it called a staff, but it looks like a knife?"

"Because the staff is just another name for this type of tool."

Faced with Yabu's doubts, the doctor immediately gave Yabu the answer as if he was well prepared, with a slight smile on his face under the mask.

I knew you would ask that.

It's really... it's been a long time since I heard you ask me questions again.

Chapter 23 Do you know the value of milking someone with a knife?

——[If the life of the creature inside will not be threatened after the mecha is removed, mark it]

"To be honest, when I heard your voice, Doctor, I thought it was your signal for help."

After all, the teleportation distance this time was quite far from the seeker's location, which was completely different from the previous time when he was directly touching the face.

But there is no problem. The pendant should have some unique insights into safe teleportation, and it is quite smart. If it really threw Yabu directly in front of the power armor, Yabu might be killed by those things before he could react. Hammered into cakes.

After repeatedly confirming with Mark several times, and getting the result that destroying the shell of the power armor would not harm the people inside, Yabu carefully approached the sculpture wrapped in white material, which had been In front of the power armor lying flat on the ground, he raised the staff given to it by the doctor and started cutting the chain.

It feels like...this so-called staff has no bonus at all. If I insist on saying so, it is probably based on the principle that one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. It increases the attack distance of the stick so that he can not use it directly. It's time to disconnect those links.

It's quite easy to use.

Link's ability allows the tools used by Yabu to touch those linked chains. The blade penetrates into the power armor to cut those chains. This pair of eyes is extremely deceptive, which makes people This unedged knife gave me the illusion that it could cut iron like clay.

In order to allow the people inside to quickly put their heads out for air, so as not to cause claustrophobia, Yabu tried to cut off the arm to confirm that it was safe, and then immediately began to remove the head directly.

Just like peeling off a cocoon, first there were slender white arms that looked like women, then some yellow hair, and then the entire face. Following the link related to the power armor, Yabu used a knife to start one from the hand. The roots were cut off, and as a pair of golden eyes like ginkgo leaves were revealed, the face of the person sealed in the iron box was finally revealed to everyone.

"Murseth?" Ceria called out the name of the person asking for help in the mecha in surprise.

"Well..." Mulseth seemed to be unable to control his tongue, and could only make some sounds with difficulty in his throat.

"An acquaintance?" Yabu, who was squatting on the ground, responded strangely, but the movements of his hands did not stop. After the shell of the head was completely removed, Yabu squatted aside and continued to cut other parts. They were old acquaintances and chatted to create a place.

But those golden eyes were always staring at Yabu who had moved to the side, revealing a look of disbelief about something.

It's like facing a situation where you don't believe it at all, but thinking about it when you are in danger, with the mentality of giving it a try, it really turns out to be true. You feel happy and confused about things that are difficult to understand, and at the same time, you are also a little curious.

"Yes, acquaintance, we are looking for her." Ceria took a closer look at the other person's physical condition. "The sedatives, lack of oxygen and mental fear have made her feel paralyzed and dizzy, and she is unable to communicate normally. Can your Origin Stone technique of cutting off connections be able to remove these sequelae?"

"Wait a moment, let me take a look. The problem with the tranquilizer should be solved."

As for hypoxia and mental fear, the former is probably caused by a lack of something. The latter may be achieved by cutting off the hormones secreted by the body, but it may also involve the mental level.

However, if it is a sequelae caused by drugs such as sedatives, which is caused by the excess, it should be possible to remove it.

He didn't go into more details about why Seria knew what his Origin Stone skill was. Firstly, he had already guessed several possibilities of what the situation was like after seeing the postdoc. Secondly, the top priority now was to help the seeker. .

He slashed the knife in his hand to free the opponent's other arm. He ignored the opponent's action of grabbing his cuff for some reason and used Mark's ability to search for a link that could relieve the opponent's negative status after cutting it off. After retrieving the chain, Yabu slashed the opponent's chest with a sharp knife.

"Ah——!...Huh?"

One cut is effective.

Just like doing sit-ups, Mulseth screamed and jumped up. He sat there in panic, waving his hands and touching his chest.

But after touching for a long time, she found that there were no wounds at all on her body, and it didn't hurt at all. She looked at Yabu with an expression of disbelief, and thankfully touched her chest and let out a long breath.

"what......."

"Don't be afraid, there is no entity when cutting. I didn't really stab you." After Yabu Kaka solved the last leg restraint with two knives, he slowly stood up with his legs supported and walked aside to make room for them. Create some space for communication.

"359!" Mulseth, who recovered from the shock, finally realized that now was not the time to be confused. She quickly grabbed Yabu's arm, using Yabu as a crutch, and stood up tremblingly. Looking at Yabu, he hurriedly repeated: "359!"
