A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

The mark shows that it is true.

"This trust is really flattering..."

"But Yabu has always trusted me since he got here, hasn't he?"

He would drink the water he poured without hesitation, and he would answer the questions he asked, and no matter from his movements or expressions, Yabu did not be wary of himself because of the unfamiliar things around him.

"That's not trust...it's just a simple confirmation that it's safe." Yabu was not very embarrassed to accept this praise. After all, he would not be wary of Dorothy entirely because of the mark. .

But Dorothy didn't know this. After hearing Yabu's answer, Dorothy blinked a few times, and her ears unconsciously fluttered a few times because of happiness.

...Isn’t that just trusting yourself? Are you embarrassed to express it?

"So, let's get back to the topic." Dorothy, who felt that she had seen through Yabu's thoughts, decided to bring the topic back, "Yabu, can you understand what I mean?"

"It's a little messy, but it's basically OK. It feels like..."

However, for the other party's question, rather than saying that Yabu understood this statement, it is actually more appropriate to say that Yabu had seen it before.

As for where I have seen it... in pre-travel movies, books, and games.

This is not just a joke, it really can be like this.

Although there are also books, games, and film and television works in other worlds, every world has its own limitations, and this can actually be regarded as an advantage for the traveler.

You don’t need to really dig into something. You may be able to find a match in the stories told by things you usually use for entertainment. The advantage of this is that your ability to accept and understand will be stronger. , just like looking for similar things from the database.

What, is this your ideal, lofty ambition, experience, and opinion?

Hey, do you think this is a coincidence?A character in the work next door, ah, people think the same way, and the person next door next door, ah, also thinks the same way.

What Dorothy asked Yabu was actually a vision.

If I want to use a rough word to describe it...

"How should I put it... Shenbei? No, it doesn't seem to be completely correct. It should be more appropriate to describe it as everyone is like a dragon..."

What is the composition of this Rhine life?

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

*Dorothy wants to find people who understand her ideas and listen to their insights.

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

Chapter 119 Are you looking for cyberpunk?

Speaking of which, Rheinland Life's logo is a symbol of an infinite Möbius strip plus a positive and negative pole. It doesn't look like an ordinary camp, it looks like a mad scientist concentration camp.

"Shenbi? What is that?" Dorothy picked up the notebook beside her and wrote down the vocabulary.

Regarding the unknown words that Yabu said, although he didn't understand what they were, he could still roughly imagine some possibilities.

"Nothing, some similar things. If you are interested, I can tell you about it later."

"I'm very interested. Please tell me about it later."

"Ah, okay..."

Facing Dorothy's overly enthusiastic look, Yabu glanced at the self-heating rice that should have been cooked in front of him with his peripheral vision, smacked his lips, and decided to put the self-heating rice thing on hold for now.

"I can sort of understand what you're talking about Dorothy."

In short, it is to create an auxiliary thing for those pioneers, that is, those who work outside, so that they can also use Originium skills to ensure their safety.

But that was superficial. The essence of this inquiry was that Dorothy wanted to smooth out the innate differences in Originium skill suitability between people.

"If this thing is really realized as Dorothy envisioned, the result will be very... great."

"Yeah." Dorothy nodded happily because she was recognized.

If it could be done as Dorothy envisioned, it would be a huge leap in productivity.

Everyone has the same talents and opportunities. This is an ideal state where everyone is equal. In this way, what an individual can get is completely linked to his or her own choices. To a certain extent, it can be said that hard work will definitely be rewarded. .

An almost perfect ideal, where everyone has equal opportunities and only looks at hard work and not talent.

But... the premise is that it can be achieved.

"I feel like there is a problem." Yabu calmly pushed the self-heating rice in front of him aside to avoid being distracted and looking at it again. "I don't understand professional issues, so I may be wrong. If there are any mistakes, I hope Dorothy can correct me."

"It doesn't matter, just follow your own ideas."

It might be rude to say it, but Dorothy couldn't count on Yabu for technical issues. All she wanted was someone who could talk about her thoughts and get feedback, someone who could understand herself and communicate with herself.

However, in order to prevent Yabu from feeling slighted, Dorothy sat up straight and took a note-taking notebook, preparing to write down what Yabu said.

"That is, if the auxiliary device you mentioned is really made, just like the exoskeleton you mentioned Dorothy, a situation may arise." Yabu looked at Dorothy seriously. , hesitated for a moment and then said: "In this matter, we may not be able to achieve the equality you expect, Dorothy."

"Why does Yabu think so?" Dorothy was not bored by Yabu's denial, but looked at the people in front of her calmly, waiting for Yabu to express his opinion.

Seeing that Dorothy was willing to give in, instead of being the kind of boss who only listened to what she liked, Yabu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not too wanton and carefully organized his words to ask a few questions. .

“How do you make sure that the people who really need it can get it and it’s not being taken advantage of?”

"Moreover, what Dorothy hopes for should be equality, but if, as Dorothy said, such an auxiliary product is created that can be used by everyone, then there may be a possibility that there will be Advantaged people become even more advantaged.”

Technology that can strengthen the weak can also strengthen the strong, and even those with more advantages may be better strengthened.

If we go around like this, we may have to go to the Cyberpunk studio next door.

"..."

At this moment, Dorothy slowly put down the notebook for recording, but this did not mean that she no longer took Yabu seriously, but that she no longer needed to record.

Because although the other party's ideas are slightly different from what I thought at the time, the results so far are almost completely consistent.

And since the other party has already thought of this step and said it, it means that the other party may have thought of some solution.

"...Please continue talking." Dorothy looked at the expression in front of her and gradually became serious, and she began to feel more and more that cutting off Yabu's beard was the right choice.

If there are countless choices in a person's life, there may be a mixture of right and wrong choices, or there may be more of one side.

In Dorothy's current view, because she wanted to communicate with Yabu, she reported to the General Administration that she wanted to go to Yabu. This might be one of the most correct choices she had ever made.

Even saying that there may not be one.

People who have no relevant professional knowledge, but can think of themselves, must be able to understand themselves.

"If you focus on strengthening individuals, this thing will inevitably be used in other places, so you should try to..."

To accomplish this goal, what really needs to be done...

The familiar feeling made Dorothy begin to follow the other person's voice in her heart and repeat her original thoughts.

“To focus on the group.”

'The focus should be on the collective. '

As if playing some kind of game of writing down one's thoughts on paper and then revealing them at the same time, listening to Yabu's words, Dorothy took the time to reveal the answer in her heart almost at the same time.

The answer is unanimous.

What Dorothy thought of was to shift the goal of personal enhancement to the group. The more individuals that are incorporated, the more that can be achieved in the end, and the creation must participate in a collective form in order to operate. , so that the problems caused by the differences can be solved.

If in the end, it is completed as she imagined, then all the pioneers will be able to enter a master control center just like going to work, and combine their consciousness to control unmanned equipment to complete the work, which ensures It is safe and eliminates the problem of individual differences in Origin Stone skills.

"However, as a group, that kind of thing is difficult to achieve. After all..."

"桠布."

Looking at Yabu who was still thinking about what to say next, Dorothy suddenly called the other person's name, looked at him with burning eyes and said.

"This goal is achievable."

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

*The two of them don’t seem to be thinking about the same thing.

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

Chapter 1: Dude, which studio are we on?

[Everyone’s persistence and struggle are all to see the farther places with our own eyes. 】

But...but...

Is there really a place further away?Even if such a place does exist, is it really worth the effort?

Traveling long distances is painful, so why don’t people choose to stay somewhere safer?

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

In this room with only two people, in the middle of the night, she seemed to be sharing her treasured candies with him, giving him

Chapter 121 I don’t want others to do anything to me, and I also don’t want others to do anything to me.

I drink wine and you eat drunkenness. Although you are not responsible for me, why should you escape from my responsibility?

This can be said to be the core problem causing Dorothy's current situation.

Her identity at birth and the tragedy of her mother's death due to natural disasters in her childhood made her understand the misfortune of the pioneers and how weak and powerless they were in the face of natural disasters and the dangers of the wilderness itself.

However, after thinking for a long time in her room, her conclusion about this misfortune only stayed at a very superficial level.

——Because people with "gifts" like her took away their chance to live a better life.

The achievements and status I have today are entirely due to my luck being better than theirs. I was lucky enough to have higher talents when I was born.

If the pioneers can be like themselves, if everyone can have equal talents, then their efforts will definitely be rewarded.

Even though he didn't know the past that formed Dorothy's current person, Yabu could still feel and understand Dorothy's almost paranoid emotion.

Because that's what he thought at first.

Why am I the one with this special ability (gift)?If this special ability is given to the right people, they may be able to bring something better to others.

They cannot accept the fact that they are the lucky ones alone.

Just like how Yabu used clever methods to understand Dorothy's thoughts using existing things in other works, if someone who knows Yabu now understands Dorothy, then Yabu will completely Think of it as another work that was used as an analogy.

Dorothy has always thought that she can feel the same kind of feeling in Yabu. This feeling is not groundless. The two people do have many similarities in a sense.

But the difference is that the two have different perceptions of this innate ability.

Compared with Dorothy's talent, what Yabu possesses is a supernatural ability that is completely contrary to common sense, so he can clearly realize that his ability is too abnormal, so abnormal that as long as he has a little common sense, he will know that This thing would cause big problems if left outside.

But Dorothy is different. What she possesses is real talent. Without the reminder of others, sometimes she often falls into a state of being obsessed with authority, and it is difficult for her to understand how exaggerated her talent is.

Because she doesn’t understand how remarkable her talent is, she doesn’t know that if her talent is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, even if she has good intentions, it may be used against her by those people. Where the original intention is contrary to the original intention.

"Dorothy's experiments, if used by someone with ulterior motives, may be used in the exact opposite of what you want Dorothy, such as... human batteries."

When a collective enters a dream state, it has no ability to wake up independently, cannot communicate with the outside world, and it is even uncertain whether the transmitter can be completely controlled by the independent will of the connector.

"After all, the transmitter cannot be completely controlled autonomously. Is it possible that it can be influenced by the outside world to achieve the control effect? ​​Will those subjects be used as batteries to control the transmitter?"

What is this? Isn’t this like using people as human batteries to start machines? Why don’t you remake The Matrix?

Yabu used markers to check if this was possible, and got a positive result, but he did not say it out loud, because this kind of problem requires Dorothy to think about it herself and then come up with the result. Paranoid people often They firmly believe in their own ideas, and speaking too straightforwardly is not as effective as letting them come up with the results themselves.

As for whether Yao Bu thinks too darkly in thinking this way, where is Rosemary's real example? This other world is not a stable and peaceful place. There are really people who can do these things.

"Human battery..." Dorothy repeated the words that Yabu said. It was not that she could not understand the words, but it was difficult to accept the scene that her experimental results were used to seek a future for the pioneers. happened.

As if it was difficult to understand Yao Bu's words, after a long silence, Dorothy seemed to have finished digesting Yao Bu's brief words, and slowly said aggrievedly: "But I just hope they can live a better life. .....”

"I can understand Dorothy that your original intention is good." Yabu nodded seriously to confirm the other party's idea, because the idea itself was indeed correct.

Yabu thought that he had no way to comment on Dorothy's ideas, let alone criticize her ideas.

Because he hasn't experienced it.

Without others suffering, you should not use your own point of view to point out the other person's ideas, so no matter what, he thinks he is not qualified.

So Yabu is still here now. What he wants to say is not to judge the quality of the other party's ideas, but to simply explain the feasibility of this matter to Dorothy.

"I didn't say that this idea is bad, but from a feasibility perspective, I think your idea is wrong." Yabu drew a circle on the table with his finger, and then drew a smaller circle in it, "Science This matter is not independent of society.”

Is there really anything to blame on this idea? In fact, there is no such thing. This is purely a good intention, and the failure to proceed is entirely due to reasons that may be caused by external malice.

I don’t want others to do anything to me, and I also want nothing to be done to others. This is difficult to do in itself.
