A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

98%

Because he was afraid that he would fall to the ground due to exhaustion or step on something and trip over something that would frighten the child, Yanbu took every step very carefully. He raised his hands and slowly approached while constantly speaking comforting words in his mouth. .

"There's nothing to be afraid of, kid. No one will hurt you. I won't do anything to hurt you. And you see, I don't have the ability to hurt you at all. I'm a very weak kid. I just said It was shot straight away, like a, um, have you ever played with a rubber ball? It just flew out like a ball."

"Pfft..." Perhaps thinking of the scene where the cloth-style ball was shot away, the little guy let out a rare laugh.

The communication didn't stop for a moment. Yabu kept getting closer and comforting, and even unhesitatingly made the incident of him being knocked out into a joke to make the child happy, even though this incident actually made him almost die.

Perhaps it was Yabu's words and actions that made the little guy truly feel the kindness. The child raised his head that had always been drooping. The shift of attention to real things allowed the child to temporarily ignore the pain caused by brain confusion. His green eyes His pupils were no longer as cloudy as when he endured the pain.

千"'.':寻.::!免;费."?"小,;,"说..!.'裙:2!,5,"5':,!5:'?!9',!,'5?"?3"0.0　　她安静的注视着桠布，虽然眼神中尚有些许提防，但心里却已经开始多了几分期待，期待着桠布这个不一样的大人靠近自己，期待着他真的会帮助自己。

Although Yabu stopped because he hit the metal door and did not fly too far, the distance between him and the child was not particularly long. If he ran, he would probably be there soon.

But his tattered body could only carry him forward with a limp. He walked very slowly, and at every step he had to carefully think in his mind how to lift and where to rest.

After a period of trekking, he finally stood where he was at the beginning and walked up to the child.

Now, I am standing here again, in the same position as before.

But there’s still one final hurdle to go.

[Maybe he can be believed. 】

[Maybe he really is a good person. 】

[He is different from those adults, he can tell jokes. 】

[His voice is very nice. When he talks to us, he is always slow and not aggressive. 】

[Don’t believe him easily, he may be a liar like those people, and he may hurt the kitten]

"Are you protecting her? I won't hurt her. Children, can you please give me a little trust? Please, I can't think of any other evidence I can produce. I can only ask you to give me a little. trust."

99%

Probably because the invisible thing touched his soul when he was knocked away, Yabu could hear sounds coming from nowhere.

"You...can hear them?"

[Can he hear us? 】

"Yes kid, I can hear it."

[What if you lie to us and hurt her? 】

"I promise no one else will get hurt here."

Link's ability is always on, and Yabu can see the chains connecting the invisible children. He looks at their location sincerely, as if he wants to look into their eyes.

"please."

【...】

The surrounding chains left one by one. Instead of disappearing, they all poured into the kitten's body and became entangled with the kitten's own chains.

"Can I trust you?"

The little one looked at Yabu expectantly. The long years of torture made her instinctively put on guard, but she longed to believe Yabu in her heart, so she asked this completely meaningless question, just to confirm again. question.

"If I lie to you, just kick me out like a ball." Yabu responded jokingly and stretched out his left hand. "I will give you the choice, kid. I need to contact you in order to help you." Take care of the physical issues, and if you want to trust me, just hold my hand, okay?”

The little guy can see that they are ugly hands.

The back of the hand was covered with blood and rotten flesh. Only three fingers were left usable, and the remaining two were hanging and shaking as if they were fake.

It's really ugly, ugly, and even a little scary to children.

But she wanted to hold those hands. She wanted to hold this dirty hand more than the white hands under the white gloves.

So, the brain issued such an instruction to hold those hands.

But... after listening to the instructions, it was not her body that had lost its strength that moved, but her own terrifying ability, and she stretched out her hand to him.

Stretched out the "hand" that could crush steel.

"Get away quickly! Go away!!!"

The out-of-control Origin Stone skills cannot be completely controlled by the girl. Even though she is constantly giving instructions to stop in her mind, those invisible hands still have no tendency to stop.

The girl yelled desperately, this was the only thing she could do, she prayed that the other party would react, and pray that the other party could move away.

But she knew in her heart that it was too late, because she could "see" that the "hands" that crushed steel had been intertwined with the cloth's hands. She could already imagine that in just a moment, the person in front of her would... It will be like being thrown into a meat grinder and twisted into minced meat.

It only takes a moment...

......

*But nothing happened.

"......Eh?"

As a green shimmer flashed from Yabu's chest, the "hands" that could crush everything touched nothing, and passed through Yabu's body like they were passing through the air.

"It's okay kid, don't panic, didn't I promise you, didn't I promise you..."

100%

"No one will be hurt here again."

——Patience

——Patience 100%

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

*You're filled with patience

*Now you are full of patience.

PS:

Chapter 34 Stillness does not mean standing still, but waiting for the right time

In fact, Yabu also roughly guessed the nature of this kitten's ability.

After all, similar things have appeared in many works, right? The invisible hand of the Sloth Priest, the transparent hand of the Erziman, and even the universally understood telekinesis, or the substitute and the substitute messenger.

This invisible and powerful ability is difficult to deal with, like a highway full of invisible dump trucks.

But Yabu can see, and Link's ability allows him to see those things. If he is willing, he can even fight back against those invisible things, cut some chains and destroy those invisible things.

But he didn't want to attack or fight those invisible things.

Because those invisible things are the consciousness of each child.

Probably because the ability itself is related to the spiritual level. After the first attack on Yabu touched the white soul on his chest, he began to slowly "hear" the voices of those children.

The voices were sometimes clear and sometimes weak, as if they were mixed together and men and women could not be distinguished. They seemed to have their own ideas, but they always had a common goal - to protect the child.

If those invisible things are destroyed, these children will probably disappear as well.

I can no longer tell what they look like, and I can no longer identify their respective voices. They may also be children who died in human experiments.

The kittens' memories have been damaged. These invisible things are the only remaining proof of their existence in this world. If they disappear due to destruction, then they will usher in the final death called forgetfulness.

But now the attack has come again, and it's too late to dodge. If you don't fight back, you will undoubtedly die.

In Yabu's current state, if he were touched by the "hand" formed by the condensed power of the kitten, he would probably... no, he would definitely die.

It was no longer possible for him to resist such an attack again. It would be better to say that after that kind of powerful attack hit him once, he did not die immediately. This in itself may be attributed to what the white soul did. The effect hung his life.

But in its current state, even if the white soul really had any effect, it wouldn't be able to withstand another attack.

It cannot be destroyed by fighting it.

Unable to withstand this attack.

It was too late to dodge.

Then, let it be unreachable.

The moment before the attack was about to touch, the white soul that had been accumulating for some time underwent a change at this last moment. The inverted white heart shape quickly dimmed and disappeared like a light with poor contact.

But it does not disappear, but undergoes transformation.

The inverted heart shape was reversed 180 degrees into a forward heart shape, and the white was replaced by a shimmering cyan.

——Patience

Different from the white soul, after transforming into a cyan soul, this ability was slowly accumulated by himself and completely derived from his own ability. Even though he did not understand what this ability was, his body already instinctively understood how to use it. use.

The patient uses the Source Stone as a guide for energy and extends the concept of "quietness" from the depths of the soul.

This is the power of waiting, the power of stillness.

So if you want to use this ability...

——Just stand still and don’t move.

The attack that was supposed to hit Yabu's body, followed by a flash of blue light, and the attack "passed" directly through him, as if Yabu standing there was an incorporeal ghost. It is a false phantom that cannot be touched by anything.

After the invisible "hands" passed through the cloth, they continued to move forward along the trajectory until they hit the remains of a metal wall on the way, making a tooth-piercing metal twisting sound before slowly stopping. Disperse.

"It's okay, kid." Yabu still held out his hand. He was obviously the one being attacked, but he still comforted the frightened child with a soft voice, "Don't be afraid."

"I didn't mean to do this, I didn't want to attack you, I wanted to hold your hand, but, but I..."

The little guy wanted to explain clearly with a little cry. She didn't want the person in front of her to think that she wanted to attack him. She wanted to hold the person's hand instead of breaking the other person's hand.

She had a lot of things she wanted to say, but looking at Yabu standing there waiting for her to pass, the little guy realized how bad she was at communicating at this moment. All she wanted to say, there was only one word left. He kept repeating it in his mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She cried silently, like a child who had done something wrong, her ears drooped, and she kept apologizing to Yabu.

She can actually have many legitimate reasons, such as the Origin Stone skill being out of control, the brothers returning to her body and her ability to control it being unable to adapt to it for a while, or her spirit still being in an unstable state, for example......

But there is no example.

[We almost killed him. 】

[He...is he still alive? 】

Although I couldn't figure out how the other party did it, there was no doubt that I almost killed him, and almost killed a good person who was willing to help me.

The girl looked at the metal wall in the distance that was touched by the "hand". The twisted and deformed appearance made her unconsciously take in it, imagining what would happen to the other person's body if it was touched.

If the other party hadn't done it... then what he would have in front of him now would be a puddle of crushed flesh.

This uncontrollable substitution made her feel a chill down her spine, and the heavy guilt made her dare not imagine what kind of alienation Yabu would have towards herself after seeing that wall.

Don't look where...

But the more he paid attention to that direction, the more his attention stayed there. This made Yaobu ​​notice that the girl was looking elsewhere, so he also followed the other person's line of sight and looked where she was.

'Don't look anywhere, please...' The girl's heart suddenly tightened, and she lowered her head tremblingly, not daring to face Yabu's gaze after looking at the metal wall.

I don’t want to be regarded as a monster, let alone be feared and rejected by Zha Bu.

【......sorry. 】

"It's not your fault, kid." After seeing the appearance of the walls, Yabu immediately understood what the little guy was thinking. He sighed, feeling sorry for the little guy's overly rich imagination and worries. Somewhat funny and distressing, "I won't be afraid of you, little one, it's not your fault."

She was probably too frightened for a moment to think clearly. In fact, if she thought about it carefully, she would understand that Yabu would not have any prejudice or fear towards her because of this.

After all, Yabu had already been hit hard by her from the beginning. If Yabu was really afraid of her, he would not come back to her again.

"why......?"

Why could he forgive himself and this bad boy after seeing such a scene?

"What's the reason for this, kid? Look, I'm fine." The crippled Yabu said, "Come on, kid, how about you try to get closer to me? Give me a chance to help you."

"No...no! I, I..."

Faced with Yabu's tolerance, the girl did not choose to move forward again, but timidly stepped back, holding her body tightly against the wall, not daring to step forward again.

What if things get out of control again?

What if his ability attacks him again because of his own thoughts?
