A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

Chapter 76 Honey, it’s time for homework

Homework is children's growth partner. From the fact that children often dream about it in their dreams, we can see how much they care about homework.

Not long ago, Hermer came to Ifrit. After chatting with Ifrit for a while and asking Dalia something, Hermer left. Before leaving, Hermer He also didn’t forget to leave homework for Ifrit.

A full four servings will definitely bring endless happiness to the children!

"So now I have to write down the homework assigned to me by Helmer. I can't tell the story for the time being." Ifrit was writing the homework in front of her with a frown on her face, and slapped the rest of the stacks together in anger. of three.

She glanced at Dalia on the bed beside her, feeling envious that she didn't need to do her homework.

Dalia was holding a storybook and reading it by herself. Although she couldn't read the text, just looking at the colorful illustrations in the book made her very happy.

But complaints are complaints. Although Ifrit wanted to "accidentally" burn her homework, at least she wouldn't do it this time.

After all, when Dalia was sick before, she vowed that she would do her homework well as long as Dalia recovered. Now that Dalia recovered, she would do what she said.

"Why are you wearing such strange clothes?" Ifrit asked, pointing to the clothes on Yabu who was sitting on the bed, cross-legged and looking through her homework.

There were so many things to complain about that she couldn't even count them. Ifrit thought that it would be difficult enough for her to have four more homeworks, but she didn't expect that Yabu's experience after going out was even stranger than her own.

Let’s not talk about why the other party had an extra film growing on his back when he went out. Apart from saying hello to him when he opened the door, the film quietly clung to Yabu’s body without saying a word the whole time. Ifrit After asking a few questions and finding out that the other person was an acquaintance of Yabu, he didn't say anything.

After all, there seemed to be a lot of acquaintances with Yabu on the island. When she said she knew Yabu and had a good relationship with him, many people came to ask her questions.

She didn't care that there was another person in her room. Rather than this, she was more concerned about the clothes on Yabu that looked like purple sweet potato balls. They looked really... She also I can’t describe how I feel.

"...is it ugly?" Yabu, who had no confidence in the clothes he was wearing, when Ifrit said this, his hands began to pick up the corners of his clothes unconsciously, "Yes It won’t look obnoxious.”

"Not really, it just looks a little strange."

Even strange, it was just that the color was a bit strange at first glance. Apart from the fact that it felt a bit tasteless when she first opened the door, Ifrit even felt that this dress was unexpected when she looked at it for a long time. of fit.

"Where's Dalia, what do you think of this dress?" Yabu looked at Dalia aside to see what she thought, but the other party nodded first and then shook her head. Yabu thought he was giving it to the child. What kind of pressure was caused? He smiled at Dalia and said, "Just say it, it's nothing."

"Second brother, it's very beautiful." Faced with Yabu's answer, Dalia closed the book and moved to Yabu's side.

After tilting her head and looking at Yabu, Dalia followed Rosemary's example and lay down on Yabu, and tried to change places constantly, as if trying to find a comfortable position.

Facing Dalia who suddenly came to divide her things, Rosemary pursed her lips in repulsion, but didn't say anything. She just moved to make herself occupy a larger position, and then said: " Yabu looks so cute in this outfit.”

"...Cute is really a strange way of saying it."

"Don't you like being called cute?"

"That's not the case, it's pretty good." Yabu lowered his head and took out the communication device from his pocket and sent a message to Logos, telling him that he didn't have to spend money to buy other clothes.

Since the little ones think it's okay, there's no need to change it. As long as it can be accepted by the children and it really makes the little ones happy, then there is nothing wrong with wearing this clothes.

"Boss, let's come together. It's very comfortable here." Dalia finally found a comfortable place to lie down, and waved her hand to Ifrit as if she wanted to take credit, as if she wanted Ifrit to come with her.

Seeing this, Rosemary, who was already all on Yabu's back, had no choice but to quietly let herself hug her a little harder.

Looking at Dalia, who seemed to be melting into rice cakes and curling up on Yabu, Ifrit seemed to want to try the feeling of lying on Yabu as a pillow, but when she thought about her unfinished homework, , had to suppress this idea temporarily.

"Boss I'm fighting a powerful homework demon."

"Boss, help you fight?" Dalia looked up at Ifrit and made a gesture of clenching her hands while driving.

"You're too young, you can't beat me."

I don’t know if Ifrit has long wanted to say "You are too young" to others. After saying this, she turned her head and sighed, but she could feel that she was not The sigh is more like saying that this is something only you and I can do.

"What about second brother?"

"Yes, Zhebu, please help me take a look."

"Hmm...Okay." Yabu pulled off Dalia and Rosemary who were stuck on their bodies, and put them on the bed gently, letting them play together for a while.

Although Rosemary was not very willing to do this, she still nodded obediently to Yabu's request.

Then, Yabu slowly walked to Ifrit's side, bent down and stared at the homework in front of her, his face gradually became serious, and he fell into a long silence.

"......How to say?"

"I'm sorry, boss, I only know Yanguo's writing."

"Ah..." Ifrit lay down on the homework book in front of her in frustration, her whole face squeezed onto the table like dough.

She just lay there motionless, as if she was recalling her life in a daze, without speaking or making any unnecessary movements.

It wasn't until a moment later that Ifrit slowly turned the face that was covered in the table to Yabu, with a hint of complaint and dissatisfaction in her voice, but she seemed to be really confused about it in her heart: "Yabu, why do you need to study?" Ah, I am obviously very powerful..."

"That question..."

Although he didn't understand why the other party would ask him such a question, since he asked it, Yabu felt that he had an obligation to give the child a correct answer.

He slowly pulled out a chair, let himself sit next to Ifrit, and leaned down slightly so that he and the other party were at eye level. Then, Yabu did not immediately answer Ifrit's question, but stretched out his hand. First, he asked Ifrit a question.

"Ifrit, do you feel that apart from being able to use the knowledge you are learning now to solve problems, many of it is actually useless in real life. Does it feel like there is no point in learning these things?" This time, Yabu did not use the title "boss". , but called the other party's name in a more equal way.

"Yes! Do you actually feel the same way, Yabu?"

Seeing that Yaobu ​​actually said exactly what she was thinking, Ifrit's eyes instantly became a little more excited, as if she had found an organization.

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

*Yabu is trying to persuade Ifrit to learn from him.

Chapter 77 This gives you the power to choose and reach your goals

"Hmm...Have you ever talked about this idea with the person who gave you the homework?"

"Yes, but when I asked Hermer this way before, she always asked me to learn more because I would definitely use it in the future, but how long will it take for me to use it in the future? And even if I don't have this knowledge, there's no problem, right? , I can still perform the task, besides..."

Seeing Ifrit in front of him, who was talking more and more enthusiastically and starting to use body language, Yabu did not rush to interrupt the other person to say something, but held his hands together with a smile, and said to Eve from time to time Nod or repeat what the other person said to show that you are listening.

He just sat there quietly like a tree hole and listened. It wasn't until Ifrit finally poured all the bitter water into Yabu that he tried hard to digest the confusion given by the other party and tried to He said: "I probably understand what Ifrit is thinking."

Through the other party's words, Yabu roughly understood the nature of the other party's distress. The other party was not someone who didn't want to learn and hated learning. On the contrary, she could accept the task that Hemer asked her to study, but because she didn't know why she wanted to I don't know what the use of these is, so I feel that it is a waste of time and boring.

"Studying at the beginning may give people the feeling of being surrounded by a cloud, and the goals may not seem clear at all. This is true. I think you are right, Ifrit. Not all the knowledge you have learned can be transferred. It comes in handy. In fact, even as an adult, I will find that a lot of knowledge that I studied and memorized carefully before is actually useless."

"Right right!"

Yabu did not immediately refute Ifrit's words. Instead, he agreed with part of the other party's ideas. After seeing the other party nodding his head in approval, he made a general suggestion.

"However, if you think about it carefully, it's not all useless, right? Among the knowledge, there should be some that Ifrit can use or even have used, right?"

"Well...there are indeed some, but not many. And even though I know a lot of them, I actually don't understand them at all."

"Because this is hide and seek."

"hide and seek?"

Ifrit tilted her head and repeated Yabu's words. She seemed to find it difficult to understand that Yabu suddenly used an irrelevant game to describe boring study, but because Yabu spoke slowly and in a consultative tone throughout the process While talking to her, Ifrit didn't feel any impatience about it, but chose to wait for the other party to explain to her.

"All the interesting things are hidden, hiding among the things that make people feel confused and incomprehensible. There must be something that Ifrit finds interesting. What are Ifrit's hobbies? Or a specialty?"

"...arson" probably because she felt that something like arson sounded so bearish, and it didn't sound good to say it here. Ifrit hurriedly added: "My fire is super powerful, and I We won’t set fire randomly.”

"It's pretty cool. You can create fire out of thin air." Yabu didn't think that being able to prevent fire was just a matter of sabotage just because the other person was a child. Instead, he showed an expression of admiration for the other person, "Then next time , Ifrit, why not try to ask Hermo to teach you some chemistry knowledge?"

"Huh? Chemistry? What does chemistry have to do with arson?"

千?,!';寻!,免:费!",小"?",说:,裙."""2.::5;"""!5;.5?,."9":?5?,?,;3"!"0?0　　“也许等你稍微了解到一些了，就可以放出不同颜色的火了。”

"Wow, is it true?"

Looking at Ifrit who was interested, Yabu nodded, but did not give a positive reply verbally. Instead, he gave the other party a choice and said: "You will know if you try it, but don't give up if you fail." Don’t be discouraged, you have to try and find it, no matter what it is, Ifrit, you can try and work hard.”

After all, she is still a child, and Ifrit is lucky enough to still have many opportunities to try.

Don't just think about what choice you have to make, don't be obsessed with it.

"It doesn't matter if it's casual, just try to combine what you can learn in the way you want to try."

Maybe at the beginning, those things learned seem useless, but this is a process of accumulation and a stepping stone accumulation.

Stack these stepping stones diligently, don't be anxious, slowly use them to lift yourself up a little higher, and then look wider to find where your goals are.

"In this case, when one day Ifrit figures out what kind of person she wants to be, she will find that, well, it turns out that she has already been prepared and can set off in that direction at any time. "

There must be a lot of roads waiting for you, very, very many. It is a vastness that was completely unimaginable when it seemed to be wrapped in a cloud of mist at the beginning.

At this time, you will definitely be able to use your own feet to reach the destination in your mind.

"The choice is in your own hands. This is super cool, boss." Yabu winked as if he was joking with Ifrit, "If you are willing, I can learn with you, how? Sample?"

"...But don't you know how?"

"That's why I have to learn. Let's start by learning the Chinese characters. I will work hard."

In the future, he will definitely be the Ifrit from before. In this case, Yabu thought it would be better to take this opportunity to study with the other person while also learning more himself. At least he should learn the language that the other person commonly uses, so that he can also use it when the time comes. Help each other better.

"Boss, it's up to you. You know more about this than me. You need to teach me more."

"I...I can't do it."

She didn't have much confidence in her own learning. She was suddenly asked to teach others. Although it was just simple literacy, she was still a little bit overwhelmed.

"Boss is so great, of course it's absolutely okay to do this kind of thing." Yanbu has always praised and encouraged his children. "How about this? You set a goal today, and we will compare who can complete the goal faster. One thing, if you win, how about I take you to buy snacks?”

"Hey, you started learning to read from scratch, how dare you compete with me to see who can finish it first?"

Not sure if it was the snacks that played a role, or simply the desire to win, Ifrit jumped up from her seat, pointed at Yabu and walked out the door.

"Just wait, just wait, I'll ask Helmer for some literacy books."

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

*No one told him this when he was a child, so he took a long detour.

*So he hopes that at least when other children need it, someone can say these words to their children that he does not have.

Chapter 78 Street stall goods, [-] free shipping, I’ll accept it

After receiving the doctor's message, Logos didn't waste much time going to the doctor's location and immediately started to help her check the pendant.

And he gave the results much faster than the Mechanist. He didn't even sit down after he arrived. He just touched it and took a few glances, and then gave his insights keenly.

"Doctor, is this really not a piece of jewelry you just bought from a small shop?"

"Is this thing really that evil?"

Although the doctor had already made some mental preparations for this pendant, he still found it somewhat difficult to understand after hearing such comments from both Mechanist and Logos.

This is completely contrary to the psychological construction done by the doctor.

If the pendant is so sophisticated, the technological content inside it is high, or it contains a high-level mystery, then the doctor may be able to accept it. After all, this is to explain and overcome difficulties on the basis of the existing ones.

But the problem now is that no matter who shows this thing, it is just an ordinary pendant, which is equivalent to asking the doctor to make a time machine from a street stall without any foundation.

"It's okay. If it doesn't work, you can put it away first." The doctor sighed, put the pendant on the table, and then leaned on it and fell into the chair.

After all, studying this thing thoroughly is not the key point, that is secondary, and it is best to study it thoroughly.

The important thing is to keep this thing in your own hands and not let Yabu go back by pressing the button.

If you want to trap Yabu in this place, you must not let him go back.

The Doctor's primary purpose in taking away the pendant was never to decipher the pendant, but simply to take away his ability to go back and forth by pressing the button.

There are only two ways for Yabu to be sent back. This is one of them, and it is now in the hands of the doctor.

As for the other way...

"Hermer has given me information and told me what Dalia's goal is."

Not long ago, Hermer had gone to Dalia to inquire about the other party's goal. Judging from the information sent to the doctor, the child's goal seemed to be just to see Oasis.

Even if such a goal is not achieved, it will not have too bad an impact. The doctor can completely interfere with Dalia and prevent her from seeing the oasis in her future life.

"To be honest, Doctor... I don't think what we are doing now can act as a barrier. After all, what we are doing now may itself be an established fact that happened in the past, and the result has long been determined. "

"I know..." The doctor looked up at the light bulb on the ceiling. Looking directly at the light made her unable to open her eyes, so she could only squint slightly, "Of course I know... ."

But all my actions now are not supported by reason at all.

"No matter what, we must not let him go back."
