A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

Not marked.

'So, is he a bad person? '

Choose the conditions and activate the ability.

Not marked.

'...'

None, is it good or bad?Or is it that the judgment of good and bad is too vague to be marked?

Hmm...then use something simpler.

'Do you need help? '

The mark appears in the sarcophagus.

that's enough.

"Mark."

——[Mark the first step required to safely open this sarcophagus. 】

As mentioned before, Yabu had no knowledge in this area, but that didn't mean that Yabu had to mess around in order to open the coffin.It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the relevant operation method, as long as it is like this...

As the ability was activated, something near the sarcophagus was marked, just like the mission guide in the game. The object was traced with a conspicuous outline, telling Yabu exactly how to operate it.

——[Mark the second step required to safely open this sarcophagus. 】

Just mark each step with markers like this, and then follow the steps...

......

——[Mark the three steps No. 20 required to safely open this sarcophagus. 】

You can achieve your goals effortlessly.

hum-

The sarcophagus in the center made a slight sound as Yabu pressed No. 20 three steps. After trying to mark No. 20 four steps, the mark finally fell on the lid of the sarcophagus.

Yabu walked to the sarcophagus with some anxiety. After thinking about what he was going to say next, he slowly removed the lid of the sarcophagus and looked at the inside of the sarcophagus with concentration. He wondered what the creature inside the sarcophagus would look like.

Will he be the kind of macho guy who goes to hell to tear up demons but likes pet rabbits? Or the kind of guy who says "wake me, when you need me. (If you need me, wake me up)" and wears a hood all day long The Master Chief.

But as the sarcophagus lid was opened by the cloth, what came into view was a girl who was completely different from the expected macho man.

"ん?"

Or should it be called female?But this guy is also a bit too thin. This whole skinny guy is about 1.7 meters long. He is lying in the coffin wearing white clothes like hospital clothes. Although it is a bit unlucky to say this, he looks like a skinny guy. The child was covered with a layer of white cloth.

That's not right. To say she is thin is to flatter her. This is the kind of thing that even cannibals have to think carefully about how to eat this thing.

"Hiss...are you still alive?"

What a silly question.

Yabu poked the other person's face nervously. Seeing that the other person didn't respond, he carefully pulled the other person's long gray hair, but the girl showed no sign of waking up.

Wait, wait... Don't worry, I have confirmed with my ability before opening it. Opening the sarcophagus will not cause any harm to her. In other words, it is not because of the machine that she hasn't woken up yet. , maybe there is something wrong with her body, so as long as her physical problem is found and solved, she should be fine.

After clarifying what he should do, Yabu once again said the word to activate the ability out of habit, but this time it was a completely different word than when he activated the mark's ability before.

"link."

This time, the ability does not require any conditions. As the simple words guide the activation of the ability, the girl in Yabu's field of vision is covered with countless chains of different thicknesses. The colors of these chains vary from dark to light. Some extend endlessly outward until they gradually become illusory at the end, while others spread inward and circle around everywhere in the girl's body.

As mentioned before, Yabu itself has some abnormalities. Mark (mark) is one of the two abilities that Yabu has, and the other is the one currently being activated, link (relationship, connection).

Of course, you are right to say link, but this ability cannot be used as a link arrow to summon blue monsters.

The function of this ability is actually to express the connections or relationships between various things in the form of chains. This chain can only be seen concretely by Yabu who has activated the ability.

And adhering to the principle that if you can observe, you can interfere, and if you can interfere, you can control. When Yabu sees these chains, he can also reach out to interfere with these chains.

Well, to put it mildly, it's called interference, but in fact, all Yabu can do is just break the chains of these connections.

But in fact, this is enough. As long as the relationship between the things in the girl's body that bring harm to her is severed from the girl, or simply the relationship between the diseased areas in the body and the concept of existence, the girl's body will be Can return to normal.

However, this ability also has a drawback, that is, every object must have countless connections with the inside and outside. These dense chains have no markings on what they are connected to, except for slight differences in thickness and color. , you can’t see any difference at all, basically you can only rely on guessing.

The only thing that Yabu can guess is that there is a chain directly connected to the earth on every object. That chain is much thicker than other chains, like a bundle that binds people tightly. On the ground, you can guess the connection between the gravity of the planet under your feet and the object.

It sounds like a difficult ability to use, doesn't it? Although it can see the connections between things and intervene, it can't tell what those connections mean, and all Yabu can do is break the chains. , there is no way to connect it back, so I can't try to figure out what each chain represents.

but......

"Mark."

——[Mark the relationship chain between the things in her body that are harmful to her health and her body in red. 】

Yabu has two abilities, and it has never been said that only one can be used at the same time.

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

Chapter 2 It’s already the year of Sword Art Online’s release, why is there such a plot as amnesia?

12 month 23 day.

You may not remember what this day means to you.

This can put you in a very dangerous situation.

......

No, you have to remember.

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

"...There is something wrong with the kidneys..."

She didn't know whose voice sounded beside her, and she tried her best to narrow her eyelids that seemed to be stuck together.

After several unremitting attempts, a bright light gradually appeared in his field of vision. The light source facing him was not too bright, but it was still a bit dazzling for a person who had just woken up, so he had to turn it around again. The opened eyes slowly closed again.

But she was afraid that she would fall asleep directly after closing her eyes, so she stubbornly cheered up and raised her eyelids slightly, and with the cooperation of her eyelashes, she allowed her eyes to receive some hazy light spots, trying to use this method to let her sleep. My eyes slowly adapted to the light.

"Ah... I also have some heart problems..."

Who is speaking?What's wrong with the heart?Whose heart?Is it mine?I......

wait, who am i?

The silt-like doubts were squeezed in the chest and wanted to be expressed, but my whole body felt like a ghost pressing down on the bed. I couldn't speak or move, and I couldn't even use the strength to open my lips.

The fear caused by being unable to control her body as if she was paralyzed made her try her best to prove that she could still move, but the only thing she could control was the slight rise and fall of her eyelids, but in order to be noticed by others She was still alive, hoping that someone could come and help her, so she had no choice but to repeat this subtle movement with great effort.

"No, this location is the aorta, right? Why is there a problem with this? Is this person the kind of person who has some terminal disease and freezes it until technology is developed to treat it later? His status is quite noble... "

"Huh? Are you awake now? That's great. You...oh, something seems wrong. Are you still staring?"

After constantly trying to make movements that even he found difficult to detect, the owner of the voice finally noticed the movement he made. A person walked into his field of vision, where everything seemed to be shrouded in a layer of white mist. Blurred figure.

"...It's okay, I won't let you get hurt in any way, don't be afraid, hold my hand...It's so cool."

When the warm hand touched the palm of his left hand, he trembled suddenly and instinctively twitched back. He seemed to want to get rid of himself, but he immediately restrained himself and did not pull his hand away, but faced him. The cold hand came up, and after a rustling sound, he took off his windbreaker and covered himself along his arms.

"Don't be nervous. Nothing will happen to you, I promise. If you're scared, just hold my hand, okay?"

Very warm.

His voice sounded slower than ordinary people's, but it was not intentional. Perhaps it was because of the sense of stability conveyed by the unhurried voice, or maybe the clothes he wore were wearing it. Due to the warmth, the discomfort everywhere in my body is slowly being stripped away. The contrast caused by the sudden warm relaxation makes people start to feel a little sleepy.

"Okay, take a rest, I'll be waiting here."

Really, you can rest now, then you can take a short nap first, it’s allowed...

She relaxed and slowly closed her eyes. Her vision returned to darkness, but this time there was no panic as before. Her clenched hands were like anchors anchoring herself in the darkness. The darkness was no longer there. It makes people feel scared, but gives them a comfortable feeling of security.

Just sleep for a while...just for a while...

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

"Ha-huh-"

how long has it been?

It's just like when you wake up, thinking about taking a nap and falling asleep for a while.After an unknown amount of time passed, the girl in the coffin was finally full of sleep. Then she remembered that there seemed to be someone beside her. She sat up tremblingly with her right hand and took a few deep breaths to calm her brain. Sober up.

"Unfamiliar ceiling."

Seeing the girl finally getting up, Yanbu said something to the side with seriousness, and tried to use the opportunity of speaking to quietly withdraw his left hand that had been grasped by the girl.

Didn't come out.

His hand, which was so numb that he couldn't feel anything, couldn't be raised at all, and for some reason, it was held tighter by the other party.

"..." The girl looked down at the hand she was holding, and slowly moved her vision along the arm to Yabu. Her gray-blue eyes looked directly at Yabu's eyes. He sat there in confusion, as if he had forgotten how to speak, and said nothing.

Facing the girl in front of him who had just woken up and seemed to have not yet recovered, coupled with the strange atmosphere of the girl sitting in the coffin, grabbing his hand and staring at him but saying nothing, Yabu suddenly Some didn't know what to say, so they had to ask tentatively: "Um...do you feel any discomfort in your body? Or feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

"..."

"Uh, hello? Is there any reason why you can't speak? If so, you can blink, I..."

"Who...are you?" Just when Yanbu thought that the girl had some hidden secrets that she could not speak, the girl suddenly spoke out her doubts, "Who...am I?" ?”

Although the girl's voice was a bit cold, there was a hint of bubbles in it that sounded like she had just woken up, giving people the impression that this person was calm, sensible and reliable, but also a little confused and strangely contradictory.

"?"

But what Yabu was thinking about now was not what the girl's voice was like, but who he was, who was one of the three major philosophical questions in life that the girl asked him.

What's the matter? What I just played was the strange ceiling joke. The source of this joke is E*A, and it's not an amnesia TV series from Bangzi. Why are you just playing with amnesia here?

This wave, this wave should not be my fault. I just broke the relationship chain according to the mark. When I marked it, I carefully added conditions. I belong to the type of person who only has physical relationships and not spiritual relationships. kind.

In other words, the debuff of the opponent's amnesia comes with it.

"Should I look for the user manual or beginner's tutorial?"

"Instructions...? Is it about me? Am I..." The girl lowered her head and touched her body in confusion, as if to confirm whether she was a human being.

"Ah no, I'm kidding, you are not a robot."

"..."

"..."

What should I do? The plot seems to be stuck, and I have to press which button to speak.

Originally, Yabu wanted to ask the other party about the situation here, but now the other party has the same moral character as him, and his understanding of the world is brand new.

It was awkward now, and neither of them knew what to say.

Chapter 3 If there are no novice NPCs, then you have to be the one yourself

"Is there any discomfort in your body?"

"Take your clothes back."

"Well... I don't have any other clothes here, so I'll settle for a while, okay? Don't worry, these clothes are new."

"I don't mean to dislike you. What I mean is, you gave me your clothes. What do you wear? Aren't you cold?"

"It's okay. I'm not cold. You're not feeling well. You should dress first."

The body is cold, but the mouth is hard.

In the center of the room where the sarcophagus is placed and the surrounding ground, there is a raised place like a step. The two people used this step as a natural stool. They sat on it side by side at a distance, and at the same time Carrying out language rehabilitation training.

Although there is still something wrong with the two of them communicating on the channel...

Well, in fact, they are not on the channel at all. These two people have never experienced this kind of situation, and they are very cautious when talking.

But at least it's not like before, with big eyes and small eyes, like a timer, opening its mouth and saying "uh-huh" but not saying a word.

There is progress, there is progress.

After the girl asked the opening question of the classic amnesia plot "Who am I?", Yabu immediately and quietly checked the other party's condition with a mark. The result was that the other party was not joking with him, but was indeed real. Memory is missing.

As for what is missing, it is unclear at the moment. Yabu has no ability to help the other party recover his memory. All he can do is to cut off the relationship instead of repairing it. He also tries to use the ability of marking to find whether there are people in the surrounding environment who can. Something to restore the girl's memory, but nothing was marked as a result.
