A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

But in fact, it is known that it will also bring fear.

Being trapped in a circle-like timeline can indeed make people feel a little hopeless, because there will be a feeling that no matter what you do, it is already doomed.

"But, Doctor, not everything is doomed and meaningless."

Inside the ring is certain, but what about outside the ring?

Passive information only connects a certain item or information into a closed loop. It is just like a bag bulging in a certain part. That part is within the circle, but the timeline is not only that part.

Maybe there is a bigger ring outside the ring, but at least relative to the people in this ring, that is the unknown part.

"So Doctor, although knowing that death is waiting for you ahead does make people feel a little scared, in fact, you see, I don't know much, right? Maybe I'm not dead at all?"

"...No, didn't you say you saw it with a marker before?"

"My mark at that time was to mark me, Yabu, and the result was that there was no second person besides me, but there was no second Yabu, and Yabu was dead, so we cannot draw an equal sign. Yes, there are other possibilities.”

"Then you...use the mark to check."

"If you look at it, it's already known, Doctor. Leave a trace of the unknown and don't observe it."

I want to believe what Yao Bu said.

The doctor also wanted to believe Yao Bu's words, but the brain feedback problem made her feel Yao Bu's intention.

Faced with the reasons that Yabu gave himself to "leave the oasis", it might be right to let himself be confused and not think about it carefully at this time. However, this farewell may never be seen again. The doctor must ask clearly. .

"Are you leaving possibilities for me so that I don't get depressed? But what's the point? These possibilities are just the comfort you give me." The doctor verbally denied Yabu's words, but his eyes Always look at each other.

She wanted to hear Yao Bu refute her, so that she could refute her idea.

"Doctor, do you remember when I talked to you before when you asked me what my goal was?"

"...I have said too much. What did you mean?"

"[Just saying it will affect the outcome.]"

"What's the meaning?"

Yabu gently placed the kitten aside, moved himself to the doctor's side, and was close to the doctor's ear. He covered it with his hand and whispered softly.

He had obviously done all kinds of strange things to Yabu, but when the other party took the initiative to put his ear close to his, the doctor's face still felt slightly hot.

But as Yabu's words poured out, the doctor's slowly shrinking pupils showed disbelief, and his expression became solemn, as if he was afraid of missing or mishearing any word.

Yabu's words did not last long. After finishing speaking, he returned to his original position.

Seeing that Yabu was back, Rosemary pulled herself onto Yabu again as if she was doing a very ordinary thing. It felt like a cat in love with its nest. Yabu seemed to be getting used to Rosemary subtly. There is no response to such behavior.

Normally, the doctor would probably say something when faced with such an enviable... troublesome thing, but at the moment she has more important things to focus on.

"This is real?"

"of course."

"But this is too..."

"This is why I don't let you say it, why I don't mark it. I want to leave unknowns in the future. This is not only so that I can have more unknowns about the future, but also so that you, Doctor, can have a goal and a possibility. .”

If the doctor told accurately, at what time, minutes and seconds, in what place and what kind of death happened.

The words he told would make the fuzzy future in Yabu's heart, because the doctor's words were riveted into that outcome.This will make Yabu always in the fear and anxiety caused by this known death because he is subconsciously guarding against the coming of that moment.

And as long as he doesn't know, he can reluctantly live the future as unknown.

It may sound like a bit of self-deception, but it is not like that. You have to look at it from the perspective of the person involved.

The reason for not letting the doctor say it was to leave the unknown to Yabu.

The purpose of asking the doctor to think about what issues is to leave the doctor unknown.

"One last question, doctor, do you really know how I died? Or even, are you really 100% sure of my death?"

Maybe the metaphor of Schrödinger's cat is not perfect, but the meaning is almost similar. As long as it has not been observed, everything is unknown.

"Just like the known may bring fear, the unknown will naturally bring other things. The unknown does not mean only fear. Precisely because it is uncertain, it may also hide some possibility and some hope. .”

And as long as there are still unknowns, as long as there are still possibilities...

"Doctor, don't underestimate human determination. There are still possibilities ahead hidden in the unknown. Keep your courage and your determination."

99%

Looking at Yabu who was sitting next to him and cheering him on, the doctor opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he seemed to be hesitant to speak. He slowly closed his mouth and looked towards the end of the oasis ahead.

Very dim.

This is also inevitable. The sun has gradually lost its support and begun to fall downwards, and the sky has become darker as a result.

However, as she kept replaying what Yabu had just said to herself in her mind, she felt that something in her heart was slowly getting brighter. She didn't even know if it was the stars rising or something else. The darkness at the end of the oasis was at this moment. There is also a little bit of light shining.

"...桠布."

"What's wrong, doctor?" As if he knew what kind of reply the doctor wanted to hear, Yabu responded tacitly to the doctor calling his name.

千?.,:,寻',:?:免?.'费".';小."''说..?裙?,??'2'"5'?!5.,.,'5;:!9?'!'5.3,?0;':.0　　熟悉的回答，就如当初一模一样。

"You said you would help me achieve my goal, even if my goal has changed. Oh, you haven't said the second part to me yet..." The doctor stood up with his hands supported and hid. Hiding behind his numb feet, "Anyway, you will help me achieve my goal, right."

"of course."

"So, now I have a new goal, what is it specifically..." While saying this, the doctor stretched out his hand to Yabu, waggling his fingers a few times to signal the other party to hold it quickly, "Let you now Come and listen.”

"The doctor's goal will definitely be achieved." As if stating the facts, Yanbu held the doctor's hand and said, "Crown for you."

....伮....

However, because Yabu was carrying Rosemary, he could not be pulled up by the doctor.

Finally, he put the ball of cats aside and then stood up from the ground.

But as soon as she stood up, Rosemary immediately hung on Yabu like a cocklebur. No matter whether the doctor or Yabu asked her, she didn't say anything and just hung there.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more important thing." The doctor seemed to have remembered something, making a fist with one hand and slapping the palm of the other hand.

"Huh? What's the matter, Doctor."

"Many people have taken photos with you, but you haven't taken a photo with me yet." The doctor took out the terminal from his pocket and shook it at the cloth a few times, "I want it too."

Seeing the doctor say such a "very important thing" with a serious face, although Yabu felt a little dumbfounded in his heart, he also joked with the doctor in cooperation: "Of course, doctor, it is indeed very important."

*You hug the lost soul and tell her that one day you will meet again.

*Wait and hope.

Chapter 97 It’s not like I got nothing.

The five people who arrived turned into four.

Just like he appeared suddenly when he came, Yabu left without any warning and suddenly disappeared from his side. Rosemary, who had been lying on him and refused to come down, lost something to rely on and slid forward suddenly. After a while, the tail straightened up.

Fortunately, Yabu was prepared for this and asked Rosemary to use her Origin Stone skills to lift her in advance to prevent her from falling.

"Look, Yabu said he was leaving soon and asked you not to lie on him." The doctor turned to look at Rosemary beside him, who had miraculously learned how to stand without Yabu. He was curious. He opened his mouth and asked, "By the way, why do you insist on sticking to him all the time?"

"I want to see if Yabu can take me with him."

"..."

What a strange brain circuit.

But...if I think about it carefully, I can't seem to find anything special to refute. After all, I didn't say no, and all the clothes on Yabu's body were being teleported with him.

But now judging from the results of the attempts, it is probably that only objects can be brought, not living animals.

Looking at Rosemary beside him who stopped talking and instead lowered his head to write in the small book he carried with him, the doctor no longer paid attention to what Rosemary was thinking at the moment and shifted his gaze to look at the terminal. Here's a group photo I just took.

The time in the photo is already close to night, but because there is still a hint of dusk in the sky and the flames illuminated by Ifrit, clear figures can still be seen in the photo.

In the wilderness at the end of the oasis, stars seemed to be shining with light. In the oasis, the lake in the center reflected the afterglow of the celestial body, and around the people taking photos in front of the lake, there were floating flowers out of thin air for lighting. Small sparks make people feel like they are in a fairy tale.

In the photo, there were doctors, Ifrit and Dalia, and Rosemary floating in the air as if trying to catch something.

But there is no cloth in the photo.

"what......"

He obviously said there were eight or nine minutes left, but none of them were correct. It was only about 9 minutes and 7 seconds.

It must be that Yabu has not recovered from the image of the drug. Although the remaining drugs in his body have been cut off by him, the weakness of his body still exists, making his perception of the outside world weaken.

Yabu's previous physical condition was much worse than what he showed.That appearance of being able to communicate normally was probably a result of the performance to be able to communicate with the doctor and reassure the little ones.

"It can be said that it was caused by me..."

The drug was injected into Yabu himself, which made him feel that the time was wrong. In the end, he didn't even get a photo taken.

He put the terminal away and looked up to the end of the desert outside the oasis, looking at the little lights that were previously regarded as stars.

If you look carefully, you will find that those light spots are actually gradually approaching here.

"Hey...it looks like everyone is here." The doctor sighed helplessly and clapped his hands to straighten his clothes.

Just like a magic trick would look boring if it was illuminated, those little lights are not stars at all. According to the doctor, it was probably some insiders who knew that Yabu was leaving and were driving here.

"If you can do it according to the method I said before, maybe Yabu won't go back." Rosemary asked with a hint of dissatisfaction in her child-like soft but mature voice.

Probably because she felt that the doctor was feeling sad about Yabu's departure, and was attracted by the doctor's sigh, Rosemary also put away her little notebook at this moment and mentioned it to the doctor at the side.

"He will definitely leave, no matter what method is used, because the result has already happened before the cause... Hey, forget it, call everyone else over when the time comes, and I will explain together." The doctor was somewhat agitated. Tired of explaining, even though she didn't do any strenuous physical exercise, she felt that her spirit was exhausted after today's events.

Now the doctor just wants to go back and lie in bed without thinking about anything, and just let his mind go and fall into a dream.

It would be best if I could meet Yao Bu again in my dreams.

"Besides, you are the only case of your method. Whether it is feasible or not is unknown. There is no relevant experimental data in Rhode Island, so it is almost difficult to replicate."

And that itself is too extreme, extracting consciousness and injecting it into your own body...

"Ya Bu said, there is a possibility in the unknown." Rosemary skillfully took out her little notebook and read to the doctor word by word according to the words in it.

"...I can learn how to talk pretty quickly."

And does that mean what he said?People give you longing and expectations for the future, not that you should try something unknown.

"Forget it, it all failed anyway, let's leave it like that... Yabu has gone back, and it's time for us to go back too." The doctor simply lost his strength and leaned back, lying on the blanket without any image, looking at While looking at the sky, he waved his hand to Rosemary, "You are faster. Go and tell those who are rushing here first and let me rest."

Talking to them always goes round and round, which makes them tired and not interesting at all.

In other words, the way of communicating directly and sincerely with others like Yabu is a pitiful way of communication that only exists in fantasy.

Ah...I haven't seen Yabu for almost dozens of seconds. It feels uncomfortable.

Following the gesture from the doctor above, Rosemary did not communicate any further. Following a burst of air flow caused by high-speed movement, Rosemary disappeared in place.

"Second brother, won't you go back with us?"

As Rosemary left, the surroundings that should have been quiet suddenly heard a question that they still didn't understand what was going on.

"Your second brother... he still has something to do. He will leave as he came. He won't come back in a few days."

The voice coaxing the child was that of another child who sounded slightly older than her.

There was a slight timidity in Ifrit's voice at the beginning, as if she was afraid of something, but the next moment she seemed to think of something, as if she had found her backbone, this timidity disappeared instantly.

"...Aren't you afraid that if you kidnap him, um, he won't come back?" The doctor originally wanted to ask directly about death, but then he thought that there was a little bear here who didn't know the situation, so he changed his mind and followed Ifrit's words just now. The comfort asked.

The doctor is certain that Ifrit must have known that what she did was to send Yabu to the past, which was considered to be pushing Yabu to death in disguise.

She was a little curious as to why Ifrit could be so decisive.

"Humph, Yabu will not lie to me."

"Oh? What did he say?"

It's impossible not to be afraid. Ifrit only thinks that one day, she may never see Yabu again, even if she seems to have never thought about such problems in the eyes of others, she will feel very sad. Fear.

But ah...

"He said before that he would come to accompany me to do my homework, so he will definitely come." Ifrit's face was full of determination and trust, as if he was not talking about an illusory verbal agreement, but some kind of agreement. Extremely correct axiom.
