A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

The child he met for the first time was groggy the whole time, and believed him because of the voice she said. The lady he met for the second time seemed to know him, or maybe because of Ceria. reasons without raising any doubts.

The first two times were so smooth and fast that Yabu almost neglected to explain who he was to strangers.

"That's right, kid, have you sensed anything before? It should have told you that if you draw a figure, someone will help you, right?" Yanbu didn't know what the so-called figure was, so he had to use His fingers swayed up and down in the air irregularly.

"I...do you?" The girl looked at Yabu in confusion, and then touched her forehead with her hand, as if she was not sure whether she had asked for help.

"Eh?"

——Mark

That's right, the person asking for help is indeed this child.

But that look of confusion was not false. Yanbu had the ability to use markers to confirm that the other party was not lying.

It was indeed the child who was asking for help, but she was certainly not lying when she said that she had never experienced anything.

Or...there was no reason to lie, just because she really thought so.

She thought that she had not asked for help because she had forgotten what she had asked for help from before.

"Child, do you feel uncomfortable in any way? For example, a headache?" Yabu probably already understood what happened to the child. He immediately organized the search terms in his mind and used the marking ability to identify the child's condition. .

Amnesia.

Having learned from the doctor's amnesia, Yabu quickly thought of this possibility, and the results of the marking were indeed what he thought.

Doctor... name...

"My child, do you ever feel like you've forgotten something? For example, do you remember your name?"

No matter what, the name is very important to a person. As I said before, this is not because of the magic power of the name, but simply because of the frequency of occurrence, the name should be very common.

And if you have even forgotten your name, that means...

"Name, name...? My name...I, forgot, did I forget something..." The girl suddenly held her head in painful hands, and He was panting rapidly as if someone was strangling his throat, and he was murmuring with a hint of crying in his voice, "I forgot... What did I forget? Help? I asked for help, I asked for help. .....Who? Why ask for help?"

That means her memory loss is very serious.

"Kid? What's wrong with you? Calm down kid."

Yabu was a little anxious and walked toward the child who kept whispering to himself, but he was afraid that his sudden and rapid approach would irritate the little guy, so he had to approach slowly step by step, and continued to use words to guide him, thinking Let the child get some respite from the pain.

"I asked for help, I...did I ask for help?"

She remembered that with the idea of ​​asking for help, she drew...a what?

"If you can't remember, don't think about those things first. Open your eyes and look around. Don't let yourself sink into memories."

a little closer...

"Thinking, around? Around, around so empty, they...where are they? Where am I? They are in my body, they are stuffed into my body, who are they? Who am I? Wait Wait, I remembered, they are here, they are..."

She seemed to be talking to herself or to many people, her voice rising and falling.

There was obviously something wrong with the other party's condition. If the doctor's amnesia state was like a hard drive that had been wiped out but was still functioning normally, then this child's hard drive was more like it was physically destroyed and completely unable to be used normally.

The memory becomes like a worn-out disc. Whenever you want to play that segment, it will jump directly to the next segment after a brief pause, which is completely unrelated to the previous one.

——Link, Mark

There is something wrong with the other party's body. Although Yanbu doesn't know what it is yet, he just needs to mark the chains that will allow the child to recover after being cut off, and then cut them all off.

The link and the mark began to operate at the same time. After the chain emerged, the faint light of the mark appeared on top of it.

The nearest chain is only a palm away. As long as even one can be cut off, the pain the child is suffering can be reduced.

The surrounding ground began to tremble slightly for some reason, and dust and fine sand floated upward as if blown by the non-existent wind.

A little more...

It's almost there, but it's still a little far away.

'Okay...this distance is enough. '

It's okay, just cut off those connections and the child will recover.

But in this last distance, Yabu, who was eager to help the other party, made a mistake because of the habit he had developed.

What his brain wanted was to take out a branch from his pocket and touch the other person's body, but because he followed the doctor's instructions, he had developed the habit of using the staff. The staff was placed in front of the branch. His body's habit also made him take out the staff.

That...knife.

'wrong!Put the knife back...'

- Bang! ! !

A violent crashing sound erupted from the front of nothing. Yabu seemed to be hit by an invisible truck at full speed, and his whole body was thrown out like a garbage bag.

"They...are all here."

Chapter 33 Patience

If going to another world requires you to undergo the baptism of a dump truck, then Yabu has probably made up for it now.

And it is also a distinguished invisible dump truck.

Should I say he was lucky? Yabu was not directly smashed into the ruins composed of sharp metal and gravel, causing those things to poke a few bloody holes. Instead, he was knocked flying in a straight line. Block the metal door.

But it wasn't much better. The huge impact even made him bounce forward after hitting the metal door, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

The dizziness of the impact was the first to reach his senses. Yabu first felt that his vision suddenly went black after the impact, and when he regained his vision, he was already stuck to the ground. Yabu had never drunk alcohol, so he had never experienced the feeling of being fragmented. Bu, today I have experienced what fragmentation is.

After his mind went blank for a few seconds, the first thing Yabu felt was not pain, but a feeling of stuffiness all over his body, as if he had been wrapped in several layers of clothes. What followed was a burning pain that overwhelmed his whole body. He curled up and collapsed on the ground like a roasted shrimp. He seemed to be twitching from time to time due to the stimulation of pain.

It wasn't until he forced himself to lift up his left hand, which was covered with wounds and dust, and scratched his body several times that his body that was shaking like a sieve slowly calmed down.

"Cough cough...cough cough cough, huh-" Yabu used his left hand to support himself and turned himself over, switching from lying on the ground to lying on the ground, using this to adjust his breathing.

95%

Death is always one step behind me.

But it was just a step too late, and death almost crossed his path. Now his situation can only be described as still alive.

Yabu turned his head and looked at the right hand holding the knife.

The knife was quite strong and did not suffer any damage, but his right hand was not that strong.

The right hand that took out the knife was the focus of the invisible attack. Yabu's entire right hand was severed from the wrist and bent back at an angle that made people's scalp numb just by looking at it.

No part of the nails was intact. Some were peeled off along with the flesh, and some were broken and pierced into the flesh, causing blood to slowly seep out from the cracks and wounds.

There were multiple fractures and the internal organs seemed to be damaged. Fortunately, he reacted in time and used his left hand to protect his head as he flew out. His head was not seriously injured.

However, because the left hand was used to protect the back of the head, the little finger and ring finger were broken under the impact and were hanging uncontrollably.

"...Fortunately, I don't only have 1 HP, otherwise I would have declined."

He slowly stretched out his left hand. While talking to himself in a hoarse voice to distract himself, Yabu pinched his right wrist with the three fingers of his only movable left hand, and tried to slowly He bent his numb wrist back to its original position.

During the whole process, Yabu didn't make a single cry out of pain.

Because he has cut off everything related to it and the connection with pain.

He has never been the kind of ruthless person who doesn't change his face even if a hole is made in his body. On the contrary, Yabu is very afraid of pain, so scared that he even hesitates for a long time to get a needle.

But in order to prevent the pain from making him scream, and to prevent the pain from affecting his thinking, he chose to cut off his perception of pain.

He wouldn't feel pain, not anymore.

This is not an optimal choice. Link's ability is irreversible, and what is reduced can never be regained. And having no pain is definitely not a good thing, as patients with painlessness are the best proof.

The correct approach may be to press the pendant immediately, give up on the child, and return home for immediate treatment.

After all, this child is not Ifrit. There is no need to fight so hard for someone you don’t know, right? Maybe this plot doesn’t need Yabu to participate in the first place. Maybe there will be more professional people to help the child... ...

"......what."

But Yabu, who was lying on the ground, could feel that the ground was still shaking slightly, which meant that the child was still experiencing unimaginable pain.

The child chose to seek help from Yao Bu, and Yao Bu also chose to respond to her. It was impossible for Yao Bu to abandon the child half-way.

"I'm an idiot, but... I can definitely use it for next time."

What an idiot...Look at the surrounding environment and the things around you. Isn't this enough to make you think about what happened?

It looks like the ruins of some kind of laboratory, the thick metal walls, the only remaining child, and the unknown black device on the child. Why didn't you think of it immediately?

Human experiments, human experiments on children.

Yabu felt a little regretful. He was not regretful about why he had to help the child and now he was half-dead. Nor was he regretful about the child who broke his wrist. He only regretted that he was too hasty and regretted that he didn't do it again. Think more.

If you can be patient and don't be so anxious to cut off contact, you won't get the wrong thing.

In other words, even if you really take a knife, if you can patiently understand everything around you, can you remind your child before taking out the knife? Can you give your child a mental health check? Vaccination, so that children will not experience the pain of fear when they see a knife.

"What have I done? It's such a big failure..."

He actually took out a knife from his pocket in front of an uneasy child.

If I could calm down and think more when I came, or if I could be patient and not anxious during the last distance, maybe I wouldn't cause the child any more pain.

With a sound of friction between bones, the position of the wrist has been straightened. Although it cannot be used, and even moving back and forth like this may aggravate the injury, at least it does not look so scary, and it will not scare the child after a while.

He was losing some strength, and the pain was gone, which made him feel unreal no matter what he did. He had to use the palm of his left hand and legs and feet to slowly move his body and lean on the metal door behind him, letting his elbows He exerted force with his back by leaning on the cold metal, pulling his body up bit by bit.

His whole body was like an old seat, and Yabu could feel his body creaking every time he moved. After relying on the metal door to accumulate some strength to shout loudly, Yabu looked at the child and shouted:

"Look up here kid! Listen to me, okay?"

Good, the kid noticed him...although being noticed might not be such a good thing.

But I don't know if it was because of the injury, but it seemed that Yabu could hear the voice of "theirs" in the child's mouth.

[He has a knife in his hand. 】

[He is still alive, why doesn’t he run? 】

[What does he want to do?He is with those people! 】

[Let him disappear from here. 】

Ah... The surrounding environment has begun to tremble. If I don't say something, I will be hit by a dump truck again.

But it doesn't matter, he won't be anxious this time.

"Please believe me children, this knife will not cause any harm. Can I show it to you now?"

Although the pain disappeared, the physical discomfort other than pain still existed, including ringing in the ears, feeling tight in the chest, and a mouthful of ash from the mouth when he fell to the ground, which was dry, bitter and astringent, making people want to Drink some cold water to suppress the nausea.

Yabu used the three movable fingers of his left hand to pull out the dagger from his right hand, raised the dagger and gestured to the child.

Then, he took the knife and stabbed it into his temple.

One knife...and another knife...

He did not stop after stabbing him once. In order to let the children in front of him see more intuitively that this thing would not cause harm, Yabu kept stabbing his head with a knife, one after another, and another. Another knife was drawn out.

The knife was blurred by Link's ability, as if by magic. The knife went in and came out, but Yabu always stood there fine, without any sign of head injury.

"Can you trust me now?"

I don't know if I really believed what Yabu said, or if I was simply shocked by Yabu's somewhat intimidating action. The vibrations around him suddenly became quiet.

"I can help you solve your physical problems. I took out the knife before because I wanted to help you quickly." Yabu stopped stabbing the knife, covered his dizzy head, and calmed down. After taking a breath, he continued to shout from the air.

"I'm just doing this to show you that it won't hurt. I didn't mean to hurt you kid. Since you hate it, I can do without the knife. I'll leave it here without holding it. Okay, kid." ?”

"..." The kitten huddled in the corner still maintained the posture of holding her head because of the pain, but now she seemed to not feel the pain, and stared blankly with her eyes wide open. Holding the cloth, he nodded for a long time before slowly nodding his head, "Okay..."

"Okay kid, I put the knife here, do you see it?" Yabu raised his arms in a surrender gesture, showed the knife in his hand, then slowly bent over and put the knife away. On the ground beside him, "I put it here, now I'm going towards you, I need to get close to you first, okay kid?"

"......Um."

"Okay kid, I'm going to walk to you slowly, so don't panic, let's be patient."
