A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

"Zhao Bu is different from adults like you. Whatever he says, he will definitely do it."

"Is that so..."

What a terrible loss... It was clear that Yabu had actually made a promise to him, but in the end, his trust in Yabu was actually surpassed by a child...

"Ha..." The doctor closed his eyes, lay on the ground and laughed softly.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

"I want to laugh, don't worry about it."

In the end, the doctor seemed to have gained nothing but one possibility. It was like he desperately clenched the water in his hand, but more water flowed out...

oh wait.

Something was retrieved by the brain, causing the doctor to open his eyes suddenly, and the corners of his mouth began to rise uncontrollably.

It’s not like I got nothing.

Among the documents that Yabu was asked to fill in, there was one that the doctor helped fill in because Yabu was illiterate and did not know it. That document was framed by the doctor and made several electronic copies.

As for what exactly that file is...

"Are you okay...why are you smiling more and more, uh, bigger?"

Ifrit, who really couldn't think of words like ferocious and arrogant, finally only managed to come up with "big" as an adjective.

"Oh, what's the matter with my smile? Can't I laugh? Just don't worry about it."

What is that document? Anyway, the doctor signed his name on it. What is it specifically...ah, don't worry about it.

Chapter 98 I’m back, I’m all back

Got home......

In this home where no one had been active for two days, Yabu could feel a cold feeling that was less human.

But at this moment, the feeling of returning home after being away for a long time overwhelmed the cold atmosphere, making Yabu feel quiet and relaxed.

Obviously this time the amount of activity was the least. Compared with the previous times, it could be said that there was almost no amount of activity, but Yabu felt much more tired than before.

But... now that no one is watching around, there is no need to brace yourself up to prevent others from worrying. It's okay to take a little rest...

Yabu lay on the bed exhausted, looking at the ceiling, his brain like paste urging him to close his eyes quickly, trying to let him take a rest.

But this idea was suppressed by Yabu the next moment. He took a deep breath into his lungs, letting his spirit regroup with the cold air, and tried hard to cheer up, not to let himself feel warm and soft in this place. place to sleep.

"Let's rest later..." Yabu rubbed his face vigorously and said to himself sleepily, as if he was giving instructions to a machine.

According to the future doctor, she will be back at about eight o'clock at this time, and at any time, there are only about two hours left. In a while, the doctor and Elena will be back.

You need to clean up the house quickly, at least make it look like it hasn't been lived in for the past few days. Otherwise, based on Yabu's understanding of the doctor, the doctor will definitely be able to tell something.

There is no need to disguise the amount of seasonings in the kitchen. Generally speaking, doctors will not go to the kitchen if there is a cloth at home.

Oh, speaking of the Doctor not going to the kitchen, this does not mean that she cannot cook or has any cooking ability deficiency.

If you ask the doctor to cook, she will probably know how to cook. After all, she can memorize all the cooking books at a glance. For ordinary home-cooked meals, just follow the recipes and don't rely on your own imagination to make random mistakes. A little extra work, and there won't be any problems.

But if the doctor were really asked to do it, she would probably choose only to use dihydrogen monoxide at a high temperature of [-] degrees to cook fried carbohydrates that are easy to preserve.

Ah...it's instant noodles. It's not even boiling instant noodles, it's just a very traditional and classic way of boiling water and making noodles.

Remembering the time when the doctor talked about a few dishes with great momentum before going to the kitchen, but when the instant noodles with corresponding flavors were finally served, Yabu couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, if you think about it this way...

"Well... let's go buy some food and cook some food later."

Because of fatigue, Yabu's eyes seemed to be more narrowed than usual. After looking around the house with his hands on his hips, he muttered to himself to keep his mind clear, and at the same time, his body moved a little sluggishly. stand up.

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

"It's quite a coincidence. I was thinking that if Yabu hasn't come back yet, we can stay out for a few more days." The doctor carried the local specialties he brought for Yabu, looked down at his communication equipment, and then Alena on the side raised her eyebrows.

"..."

Facing the doctor's conversation, Elena, who was holding the items in both hands, just nodded and watched intently. Probably for her, where the next step she takes will be more important than the three steps that have been by her side. God's people are much more important.

"Do you hate talking to me so much? Okay, okay, then I won't talk anymore." The doctor made a zipper motion towards his mouth, and pretended to be speechless and called out softly. A few times, "Uh-huh..."

Well, forget it, it doesn’t matter.

Looking at Elena next to him, even though the other person showed no emotion on the surface, through observations over the past few days, the doctor has been able to completely confirm one thing.

This child's heart is like a piece of glass that has been smashed hard, it has already been broken.

"We're almost home." The doctor looked at the lighted home in front of him. He didn't turn his head to look at Elena, but he said words for Elena, "I'm already very tolerant, take care of yourself, understand?" ?Don’t tell me what I know.”

In terms of confidentiality, the doctor is very confident about Elena. This child will never tell the truth, because from the beginning to the end, the doctor has mastered the fatal threat to the child.

Perhaps it was because of what experiences this child had in the past that she longed to be needed, and probably because of the "voice" she could hear, she wanted to stay by Yabu's side.

But it was precisely because she thought too much that she made a mistake from the beginning.

She lied.

If Yao Bu knew that Elena had planned in advance to take him away from the house for treatment, what emotions do you think he would have towards you?

This is a question that the Doctor asked Elena.

In fact, both people who are familiar with Yao Bu's character know that Yao Bu will most likely not have any emotions.

But...it's just a high probability, isn't it?

Even if it is already 99, or even 99.9..., there is still a slight possibility that the other party will be repelled by deception.

And as long as there is even a slight possibility, Elena shouldn't gamble.

But once a person starts telling a lie, he never knows how to stop.

In order not to expose her last lie, she had to do more things, even many things that she might not have been willing to do before.

For example, help the doctor keep secrets.

"Well... don't tell Yao Bu. After all, what you did before was not clean. I don't mind changing things with you."

That's all. Without complete certainty, it is impossible for the doctor to use this method to coerce Elena.

This child, who has been completely broken from within, is no longer a threat to the doctor. He stays here only because...

"By the way, how about telling me the pattern."

"No."

Well, it seems that this child is still holding on to the idea that she is still useful to Yabu and can still stay with Yabu, which is supporting her to prevent her from completely breaking down.

But...the Doctor will find out sooner or later.

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

*While Yabu learned about Dalia’s goal from Ifrit, he also asked about whether he would meet her for the sixth time.

*Have used it four times now.

Chapter 99 Don't turn it off, listen.

Although sometimes I joke and say something like, "36 hours a day _____, do you believe it when you say you don't have cerebral palsy?"

But in fact, the fairest thing in the world may be that there are only 24 hours in a day.

Even if Yabu rushes slowly and hurriedly, using the time planning that he can learn from elementary school mathematics to boil water, cook, and clean the house at the same time, he has to finish it all within two hours, which is a little too much for a person who is exhausted. busy.

"All right......"

But fortunately, I managed to finish it in the end.

The room has been cleaned, and the kitchen that has just been used still smells of oil smoke, making the home "alive" again.

After covering all the dishes on the table with plates upside down to prevent them from getting cold, Yabu put the apron and other things he was wearing on the side where clothes were hung, and then collapsed on the sofa as if he was puddled in mud.

Watching the TV program that he had turned on to add some atmosphere because he felt a bit deserted, after watching it mindlessly for a while, Yabu began to feel a little tired even with his eyes open, so he slowly lay on his side on the sofa and closed his eyes. into his own eyes.

He picked up the pillow beside him and put it in his arms, not only to give himself something to hold and support himself from turning over, but also to make himself feel a little warmer.

Although he knew that it might be warmer to take two steps to get a blanket, he was too lazy to take two more steps to get a blanket to cover himself. Even when he just picked up the pillow, he made up his mind before raising his hand. Take it.

"call......"

The string that had been tight could finally be let go, and a slight snoring sound came from Yabu's mouth, and his mind began to slowly fall into darkness.

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

"We're home, let me see the keys, keys..." The doctor muttered and rummaged through his pockets, trying to make as little noise as possible while rummaging through things.

Although Yabu was most likely at home, and the other party would probably open the door for him if he knocked on the door, the doctor still chose to use the key to open the door.

Because she wanted to try to see what Yabu would be doing if she suddenly entered the door.

He took out the key, put his hand on the door handle and was ready. After aligning the keyhole to ensure that it could be inserted quickly, he pushed it in very quickly and used his other hand to push the door open.

Looking at the doctor in front of her, who didn't know whether she should be said to be childish or simply having fun, Elena, who was holding something in both hands, stood behind the doctor at a loss of what to say.

He probably wanted to distance himself from this weirdo from the bottom of his heart. Even though he didn't want to appear defeated, his body was still stuck in place. He watched the doctor push open the door and walked in for a while before following him.

"Xian Bu..."

Elena, who crossed the threshold, wanted to call out, but before she could finish her words, she sensed something was wrong and closed her mouth.

The room wasn't particularly quiet, but the only thing making any noise was the TV that had been doing its job, and there was no response from Yabu.

I can't feel the thread... Has Mr. Yabu come back yet?

"Shh..."

But as he gradually walked into the room, his eyes moved to the doctor standing next to the sofa. The other person put his index finger on his lips, made a silencing gesture to Elena, and pointed to the person on the sofa. Yabu.

Although he was lying sideways on the sofa with the armrest on the edge of the sofa as a pillow, and his sleeping position seemed a bit awkward, the other person seemed to have fallen into a very peaceful sleep, not being disturbed by the shopping ads that bombarded the audience one after another on TV. arrive.

However, in order to prevent the TV from disturbing Yabu's rest, Elena tiptoed to the TV and reached out to turn off the TV.

But I don’t know if the turning off of the TV and turning on Yabu are connected. As soon as the TV was turned off by Elena, a sound came from Yabu’s side.

"Don't turn it off...I'm listening." Yabu slowly turned over and looked up at Alena next to the TV. There was a sound in his voice that he would have when he just woke up. That kind of dullness and confusion.

But as his eyes gradually became clearer and he saw Elena's expression doubting whether she had done something wrong, this feeling was immediately suppressed by Yabu, making it almost impossible to detect any sense of fatigue, and He smiled and waved his hand to Allen, indicating that the other person should put things away first.

"Oh...it's okay, turn it off."

"...Are you some kind of old man?" Seeing that Yabu woke up, the first thing he did was to say hello to Elena. The doctor stopped lowering his voice and spoke in a normal communication voice.

"Huh? Why?"

"Herag likes to watch TV and fall asleep on the sofa. Several times I went to him to get medicine. He was obviously asleep, but he would wake up as soon as the TV was turned off, and he would say he was watching."

"Hmm... I don't know about the old man's side, but I'm mainly used to having sounds nearby. If it's suddenly quiet, my attention will be attracted because the sound environment has changed."

Of course, the more important reason is that I can’t tell the doctor...

The reason why he woke up was because the doctor touched Yabu's face with his finger.

It felt like the doctor was touching him when he was imprisoned, which made Yabu feel a little frightened, like pouring cold water on him to wake him up from his sleep.

Fortunately, Yabu reacted relatively quickly and did not show any abnormal emotions before the doctor discovered it.

It should... react quickly enough.

"...Is that so?"

I don’t know if it was because of the sequelae caused by the future doctor to Yao Bu, which made Yao Bu, who was not very likely to lie to the doctor in the first place, feel a little panicked.

Even though he knew clearly that the doctor had no ability to read minds, after seeing him, he still felt like he had been completely seen through.

"Well, the rice is ready, go and eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Wanting to change the subject quickly, Yabu stood up from the sofa and walked towards the dining table.
