A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

And Yabu...

Texas glanced at Yabu. He was probably suffocated by being trapped at home for a long time. After hearing what she said, he also looked very interested in it.

So, wouldn’t it be better if this were the case earlier?This way, everyone can be happy.

'fine. Texas lowered his head, thinking about what was going to happen next, and the corners of his mouth raised a little unconsciously.

That's it.

I am different from Lapland, and I will never restrict Yabu like her.

Chapter 1: I have been working hard for most of my life. What’s wrong with wanting to have a family and enjoy myself?

Probably a long time ago, around the time when Yabo had just lost his memory, Texas actually thought for a moment that if he had less professional ethics, he would stop thinking about the client's mission and ignore Lapland. De took the pendant, or simply told Lapland what he knew and went into the house and fell asleep. Maybe there would be no trouble like amnesia after the thing was in his hands.

But now, she felt that it might be the right thing she did.

Because it gave her a... friend?No, using the word friend may not be accurate.

It’s not that Texas has no friends, it’s better to say that it’s impossible for a person like her not to make friends. Although she looks a little lonely, her heart is delicate enough, allowing her to handle friendly relationships with colleagues and establish good relationships. Friendship, and she often consciously restrains the traces of past experiences on her behavior, trying her best not to make others feel uneasy when getting along with her.

But in the end, this is only at the level of friendship.

This is of course not to say that the relationship of friendship is superficial. Friendship is indeed precious, can be trusted, and has a tacit understanding. This is the depth that a relationship of friendship can achieve.

But after all, it belongs to the category of friendship. This kind of relationship called friendship cannot satisfy the desire deep in the heart.

You can live a colorful life with friends during the day, and there are often exciting parties in the evening. Such a fulfilling life makes people feel satisfied.

But sometimes, there is still an overwhelming feeling.

No matter what you go through outside, when you need a rest, you have to return home to this place. But every time Texas returns home and opens the door, he is greeted by only cold air. This kind of It always feels like something is missing.

When silence returns, when the noise dissipates, all you are left with is darkness and fatigue.

At this time, the satisfaction of life has become the source of fatigue, and the emptiness of being alone is the real pressure.

Before that, she didn't know what was going on with her. She just thought that she tended to think too much at night, and would choose to use entertainment or simply fall asleep to pretend that she couldn't see this feeling.

But it wasn't until Lapland's arrival that she understood what was missing from a person.

To be more precise, I didn't learn it from Lapland, but from the person, or a ghost, who followed Lapland.

"Texas, is there anything you want to eat? If you don't have it at home, you can buy some food from the supermarket and I'll cook it for you tonight."

"..." Texas looked at the source of the sound, and raised his hand unconsciously to touch something. However, thinking that the other party could not be touched at all, the raised hand was quietly retracted. .

It was a... longing for home.

Friendship is like a variety of drinks, they are naturally delicious and have rich flavors.

But in the final analysis, sometimes what you need, what you really want, is a glass of cold water to quench your thirst. It has no unusually attractive taste, let alone an extremely strong taste. It is colorless and tasteless and does not bring any The secretion of stimulating sensation, but it is more thirst-quenching and more comfortable than other things.

She hopes that when she returns home, there will not only be a cold room waiting for her, but someone waiting for her to return home.I hope there is someone in the room, opening the door for me, showing an expression that welcomes me back, caring about me considerately, talking to me, or not talking, in an environment where I am accompanied by someone who can make me feel at ease. Fall asleep inside.

Lapland can experience this kind of appeal from Texas almost every day after getting the pendant.

As mentioned at the beginning, Texas actually felt a little regretful about why he had to be so professional in the first place and caused such trouble for himself.But as she gradually deepened her understanding of the ghost Yabu, she began to feel that it was not a bad thing, and she even understood why Lapland valued the person in front of her and was willing to become friends with him.

Because the other person's unconditional care that is almost doting is not so much a friend as it is a family member who is willing to give everything to you heart and soul.

In the past few days when Texas and Yabu were alone for a short period of time, she had a deep understanding of this.Whether it is the words in the conversation or various small actions, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the other party is seriously thinking about her at all times. Even to exaggerate, this kind of considerate care can sometimes be seen. For such a brief moment, Texas felt like he might be living just for her.

"Texas? What's wrong? Are you going out with your colleagues tonight?" Yabu looked at Texas who suddenly stared at him without speaking for some reason, thinking that his decision had disturbed him. The original plan, so he quickly added, "That's okay, just put me at home later. I can just put away the quilt at home. If you need it, you can tell me about what time you will be back. I'll prepare something for you in advance..."

"No, there's nothing to go out tonight, I just..."

I just have some understanding that Lapland would have that kind of idea.

but......

"I'm just thinking, why don't you go to the vegetable market with me to pick out some things? Put more in the refrigerator so you don't have to go there every day."

"...Isn't this going to be any trouble?"

Texas knew why Yabu asked. In order to prevent him from wandering around, Lapland taught him things like taking you with you in crowded places, so that he could see you if he happened to meet you. And people with good intentions may cause trouble.

How ridiculous. A person who has stayed in Longmen for more than half a month, turns out that he doesn't even know where he is. Apart from his company and home, he has never been to many other places. He can count them on one hand.

But he and Lapland are different.

"It doesn't matter. Even if you meet someone who can see Yabu, you have nothing to worry about. Maybe you can learn more about things related to your amnesia, Yabu. Even if you meet someone with ulterior motives, whether it's me or Penguin Logistics can be solved for you.”

Just like trying to untie the knot left on the packing bag, Texas tried to untie the thoughts that Lapland had instilled in Yabu before, and tried to get Yabu to say what he thought.

"Or is it that, Yabu, you don't really want to go out? In that case, I'll just leave you at home as you said, and then I'll go shopping by myself. That's fine too."

"I'd really like to go, but..."

"Then let's go." Texas didn't let Yabu have time to worry about the rules set by Lapland for him. When he heard that the other party said he wanted to go, he forcefully took Yabu with him. Walk towards your destination.

He was promised that he could communicate with colleagues who couldn't see him in the future, and take him shopping in shopping malls that Lapland had never taken him to. Texas even considered buying a computer. This thing is different from a mobile phone. Cloth can also be used, which gives him an additional channel to communicate with the outside world.

All of these were things that Lapland had not allowed him to do in order to keep Yabu firmly in his hands.

But I am different.

Now, this is your own.

In other words, this was actually his turn, and the person who entrusted him next was himself in the first place. If Lapland hadn't followed him, it would have been natural for him to be the one who found him in the end.

Since this already belongs to him, he will dig out the bad rules and regulations that Lapland left in Yabu, and try to fill his body with his own thoughts.

This sounds like there is no difference from what Lapland did, it's just a different person, but he and Lapland are different, and he will never choose to imprison him.

Although everything was a little off at the beginning, it didn't matter. At least the result now made Texas feel satisfied. During Lapland's absence, she could slowly instill some correctness in him. During this period, he experienced the feeling of home that Lapland had taken the first step to cut off from him, resulting in him not experiencing it.

I have plenty of time, enough to fill in all the things I was missing before...

"Yo, Texas, Jabu."

But maybe, time is not that sufficient.

The familiar voice and the habit of speaking that she had said so many times but the other party would not change made Texas, who was taking out the keys to open the door, know who was coming without turning his head. He turned to look in the direction of the voice. I saw that the door of the next room had been opened at some point, and the familiar figure was leaning on the door next door, waving to Texas and Yabu.

Lapland, who had disappeared for a few days, suddenly appeared as if she suddenly decided to leave. Before Texas could come back to her senses and say something, the cloth beside her floated over first and came closer. He went to Lapland, looked her up and down, and struck up a conversation with her.

"Lapland? When did you come back, and what's wrong with you?

Lapland's current state is definitely not good.

The clothes were wrinkled and the hair was very messy. The originally fluffy and soft hair no longer existed, and it looked like it had not been taken care of for many days.For some reason, there were large bruises on his face, and the area around his eyes was swollen and black. It seemed that he had not slept well in the past few days.

She just stood there as if she was forcing herself. Her whole person revealed a weak and unhealthy feeling from the inside out. Her pale hands were gently placed on the wall, as if she would collapse at any time, and the expression on her face seemed to be crying. It looked like a smile, with a disturbing sense of decadence.

"Who are you...fighting with?" Yabu looked at the miserable look of the other party, and did not bother to ask why he did that to him before, mobilizing his ability to be kind. Treated Lapland's physical problems.

"Fight... there was no fight, just an accidental fall." Lapland lowered his eyelids slightly, feeling the swelling on his cheeks gradually subside, and feeling the red, swollen and inflamed areas around his teeth gradually cool down. There was no more pain, and the fatigue of many days was suddenly relieved, which made her want to hold the soul in front of her even more, lie down on the bed and sleep peacefully.

…But it’s not time to rest yet.

"The excuse of accidentally falling is too perfunctory."

"That's right."

Since Texas did not say that she hit herself, Lapland naturally did not want to mention anything more about this matter and did not continue to answer. When Yabu saw this, he was also very considerate and did not ask any more questions. He lowered his head and concentrated on healing the other person's body, and suddenly there was a silence in the corridor.

But this brief silence did not last long. As Lapland's body gradually completed the treatment, the soft light controlled by Yabu slowly dissipated. Texas also opened the door with the key and was the first to speak, for this The tranquility came to an end.

"Go home first, Yabu." Texas pointed to his room, and only called Yabu's name but not Lapland, "Don't stay in the corridor, go inside."

Yabu, who had followed him for several days, was abducted by Lapland immediately after he came back. Although he knew that it was because Lapland looked bad overall, which caused Yabu's concern, but in the face of this It's all a lie to say that I don't feel uncomfortable.

But in the face of this emotion, all Texas did was point to his room and tell Yabu to go home, venting his emotions in this obscure way.

If Lapland had been faced with this kind of thing before, he would have been furious, and then tried his best to bring Yabu back to him.

But she's not Lapland.

Texas warned himself in his heart that he couldn't do that. He and Lapland were different. He would not and could not do that kind of thing without considering Yabu's feelings.

"...Go home." Lapland repeated Texas' words.

She might have sensed what Texas was thinking, or she might just be repeating what Texas said.

But in short, she then nodded and followed Texas into her home. She did not say anything that could easily cause conflict, nor did she do anything that would make the scene embarrassing like turning around and going back to her own home. .

This gave Texas some relief.

But as the door closed, Lapland's next words made Texas's heart suddenly lift again.

"About what happened before... I wish I could talk to you, Yabu."

Chapter 1 I’m here to sincerely apologize.

Lapland came to talk to Yabu, which was not surprising at all.

"I have no excuse. I'm sorry, Yanbu. I did that to you without any interference from others. It was entirely due to my own reasons."

Even LaPland's rare apology was not surprising in Texas.

"You are the only friend I have... I'm afraid I'll lose the one I have left. I always think Texas is better than me. I think you'll abandon me and choose Texas instead." choose me."

But after hearing Lapland's words, she instantly

Chapter 1 Class D memory erasure technique

Snapped--!

Almost before Lapland's voice fell, Texas' body was aware of the crisis and acted before his consciousness. His swinging arm slapped Lapland's hand like a whip. He knocked the pendant away.

But this didn't seem to have much effect, because the pendant had just taken off and had not flown very far. Lapland, who was only half a beat slower than Texas, also reacted immediately, moving quickly. He clenched his fists, grabbed the chain on the pendant, and pulled hard, pulling the pendant still in mid-air towards him again.

And in mid-air, Texas saw that the moment the pendant flew out, a somewhat transparent thing separated from the pendant in the air like an insect shelling out of its shell.

She knew what it was, it was the protective film she put on the pendant herself.

When was it destroyed?When you were just caressing?How did she destroy it?

No, it doesn't matter. Now is not the time to think about this.

Because the purpose of that thing is to prevent the pendant from being touched by others. If the pendant is touched by others, Yabu's memory will be cleared.

The protective film on the pendant has disappeared at this moment, and it is falling into Lapland's hand under the pull of the chain.

"Protect the pendant! Yabu!" The urgency of the situation made Texas give instructions to protect the pendant in an almost commanding tone, and then called Yabu's name.

Fortunately, in the face of this unexpected incident, Yabu did not stay still. He immediately realized something when he saw the pendant flying. After receiving the order from Texas, he immediately activated his ability on the pendant coat. A layer of green barrier.

One advantage of Texas issuing the order directly is that Yabu, who was aware of it in advance, was urged by the order, allowing Yabu to directly skip the process of being confused about why Lapland did what he did, and succeeded. The pendant is protected from contact.

But equally, this order also has a disadvantage, that is, it makes Yabu focus too much and ignore another problem.

He didn't protect himself.

Lapland has personally killed countless warlocks, and among them, she has already engraved the simplest and crudest method against warlocks into her reaction - if the opponent's Origin Stone skills are very troublesome, then directly use Kill the caster.

It was precisely because of this that when she saw the barrier wrapping the pendant, she did not continue to struggle too much with the pendant. Instead, she immediately and decisively gave up on this goal, and instead reached out to grab the pendant that was close to her. The magician.

"Huh?!" Yabu trembled as he looked at the palm holding his soul. The painful memories he had just experienced not long ago rushed towards him. Faced with the situation of having his soul captured again, He wanted to escape, but just like last time, he couldn't escape at all.

But then Yabu discovered that in addition to the discomfort and discomfort of his soul being touched, the expected pain that made people lose consciousness did not appear, and all the activities in the room were instantly frozen as he was caught. Once there, it became a motionless confrontation.

At this point, everything on the scene stopped.

From the moment when Texas shot the pendant to the end, it may not have even lasted three seconds from the initial movement to the current silence, but whether it is Texas or Lapland, the chest feels the same at this moment. He was up and down, panting as if he was undergoing some strenuous exercise.

The only difference was probably the expressions of the two - Texas's face became increasingly gloomy, while Lapland did not show any joy of victory. Instead, he showed a wry smile while breathing.

"Lapland, you..."
