A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

"I'm not lying to you. Although I have forgotten a lot, just like I don't know what I just mentioned about Ursus, Gaul, and Yanguo, I still won't forget the most basic thing like language. ." The doctor tilted his head and looked at Yabu strangely.

"Do you have any misunderstanding about the word basic?"

"At least that's what my only remaining memory tells me." The doctor pointed at his head, "It's okay, Yabu, if there is anything you can't understand, you can ask me. I still know a lot. , you can use me as a translator."

Just like finding a field in which you are good at makes people feel relaxed, after the doctor discovered that he seemed to be quite useful, his tone of voice became much more confident.

Moreover, Yabu couldn't read words, which made her feel a... twisted sense of security.

Although not being able to read text may bring a lot of inconvenience to the two people's actions, it will be difficult for Yabu to leave the doctor and act alone when he needs the skill of reading.

But the doctor feels that this seems... pretty good?

At least this way, he can't live without himself in the short term. Without him in this foreign country, he will lose his ability to recognize words.

Although there is also a way to find a professional translator, considering that he is a gangster and has no money, he cannot do it for the time being. This may be used to bully...

"...tsk."

The doctor under the hood frowned, and gritted his teeth to regain stability in his wandering thoughts.

What are you thinking about?How could I think that?Could it be that all that is left in this mind is calculation?

"In short, this method of making money is not feasible. Although it is an option for us to eat in the cell, it is best not to do so." The doctor looked at the books around him and diverted his attention to himself. Stop thinking, "Give me some time to publish. Although these books won't make us money for the time being, we can get information about the world from here."

"Guigui, doctor, can you understand these books?"

You can tell from the criminal law here. The books nearby are not children's books. You can guess from the pictures on some covers that there are even some books on medical knowledge.

You must know that there is an insurmountable gap between simple literacy and understanding the knowledge in books, just like between empty hands and holding weapons.

"Well, yes."

"Tender cow."

"Um......"

I don’t know whether he understood the strange words that Yao Bu said or whether they were translated into something that caused the doctor to misunderstand. After the doctor responded in a low voice, he quietly lowered his hood a little.

The doctor next to him was looking at the books on the bookshelf. His scalp was numb just by looking at them. Because the doctor was too thin, she looked like a very small child. Maybe she was reading When reading those difficult books, it makes people feel that the child is pretending to be funny.

But in fact, if you look closer, you can see from the way she reads carefully that she is not pretending to read at all, but can really understand and understand the troublesome knowledge.

Yabu watched the doctor quietly from the side, watching the doctor beside him absorb the knowledge from the book like a sponge. He also picked up a book with a trying mood. The pattern on the cover looked like salted egg yolk flavor. Candy books.

"Doctor, what is this, a recipe?"

"...Zhaobu, that's a medical book."

"Also...that's about right."

"Can you think about how scary what you said is."

Seeing the doctor pick up the cookbook from his mouth and read it without any hindrance, Yabu suddenly had a lazy thought like "Do I really need to think about it?"

Chapter 8 Now I’m going to tell you about the gold content of this tree branch.

This doll...is a bit annoying.

At the beginning, the doctor's way of reading was relatively normal, reading word for word like a normal person, even slower than normal people because he had to concentrate to understand.

But this so-called "in the beginning" only lasted about two pages.

After the doctor flipped through two pages of the recipe book from Yabu's mouth, something started to feel wrong.

First, the head moved from left and right for reading word by word to moving up and down for reading the whole line. Finally, the head stopped moving and started to hold the edge of the book with hands and turn the pages quickly like reading a comic strip.

At first, Yabu thought that the doctor found the book in his hand boring, and just flipped through it and put it there. However, after the doctor put down the book, he picked up another one, but he still used the money counter. way to read.

"Doctor, are you doing quantum wave speed reading?"

"What's that?" The doctor didn't stop flipping through the book in his hand. He was "counting money" somewhere and had a leisurely conversation with Yabu.

"It's just a made-up nonsense. It's said that you can understand the contents of the book by flipping through it at high speed like shuffling cards. In short, it's a lie." Yabu explained the meaning of this joke to the doctor, and he quite I like to explain the meaning of a certain joke to others and then have fun with it.

"It's so fake. How could such a thing exist?" While saying this, the doctor finished flipping through another book.

There is no such thing as light gong in this world. Everyone must believe in science.

After that, the uncle jumped off the cliff and went home for dinner.

"The thing I'm talking about is probably like what you are now, Doctor."

"I'm different."

"..."

What a confident statement.

"Abu, what I mean is, I'm not reading these books." Probably realizing that his speech was too arrogant, the doctor quickly explained, "I should have understood the knowledge in these books before I lost my memory. , they feel very familiar, and I can probably recall them just by looking at them, so I’m not looking at them, I’m just reminiscing through these things.”

It's okay to be familiar with it. Could it be that you wrote the knowledge in these books?

However, maybe the doctor is actually the smartest person among them all, a big boss who was selected and stuffed into a hibernation warehouse for time migration, or maybe he is like Noah in Noah's Ark, and has some special characteristics.

Thinking about it this way...

"Doctor, do you think you are actually very old?"

"...What's wrong?" After hearing Yabu's question, the doctor's hand while turning the book trembled slightly.

"That's right, if you are particularly old..."

"What if I'm very old?" The doctor stopped flipping through the book, and looked nervously into Yabu's eyes.

Do you think spending time with older people is troublesome?Or do you feel like you can’t talk to older people?Or do you feel disgusted and rejected because you are obviously very old but still have a youthful skin?

"Doctor, do you think that if you are very old, if I touch you, will it be considered as touching an antique and I will be arrested?"

"..." The doctor slowly stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and eyes, feeling speechless at the chaotic inner activities he had just done.

"PhD?"

"...I don't know how to answer this question, but the children's book section is over there. Maybe you can study the text and find the answer yourself, and..." The doctor lowered his hands and covered his face. Holding his hand, he looked at Yabu with some resentment and said word by word, "Leave aside the currently unclear biological age, I am not old."

Leaving aside biological age, what else can we talk about...

Yabu wanted to ask this question, but when he saw the doctor holding his head down and picking up the book again to read, he had no choice but to hold back his words.

He also didn't read the children's books the doctor mentioned, because he couldn't understand even the children's books. Learning from scratch was really uninteresting, so Yabu had nothing to do but stay where he was and listen. The doctor's rustling sound of turning books.

But it's not okay to just stay here without doing anything...

Forget it, but no matter what, it's good for the doctor to read more books here. It's always good to learn and recall things from the past.

After Chu was idle for a while with nothing to do, Chu Bu patted the doctor on the shoulder and said to the doctor: "Doctor, you read here for a while first, don't run around, the book is too high Don’t go get it. I’ll help you get it when you get back. I’ll go for a walk..."

Anyway, I can't read, so I can't do much if I stay here. I'll go out and see if I can find some way to make money.

As for the doctor, Yabu has already seen it with the mark "If it is safe for the doctor to stay here, mark the doctor". As long as he stays here and reads, there will be no danger.

Besides, the doctor is so old that nothing will happen to him even if he leaves for a while. Maybe he wishes he had a clean space to read a book.

But just when Yabu explained it to the doctor casually and turned around to walk out...

pat!

"......PhD?"

The doctor who was reading suddenly closed the book, grabbed Yabu's wrist with his backhand to prevent him from leaving his side, and then turned to look at Yabu.

Just watching.

Perhaps because of the hood, the doctor's eyes were a little dim under the shadow of the hood. Yabu couldn't figure out why the doctor didn't speak and just looked at him.

However, from the reluctance and panic in his eyes, Yaobu ​​probably guessed what the doctor was thinking.

"It's okay, Doctor. I checked it with the marker. It's safe here. You can read without worrying."

Oops, got it.

According to Yabu’s experience of helping to look after children from time to time, children feel insecure in unfamiliar environments.

That's right, aside from physical age, there is also psychological age. The doctor has just crawled out of the coffin. After all, he is actually a child who has just come into contact with a strange world.

Yabu, he always understands.

At this time, just tell the other person that it is safe here. It would be best if they had two mobile phones, but it is a pity that I don't have one.

Hmm... I need to put the purchase of another world communication equipment on the agenda as soon as possible.

"Why? Where are you going?"

Are you going to give up on me and leave me?

Did the way I just asked you to read a children's book make you feel slighted?

I'll apologize for that...

Unlike Yao Bu, who was happily planning how to take care of the baby in the future, the doctor's mental activities were somewhat strangely depressing.

"It's okay Doctor, just walk around."

"Where are you going?" The doctor was obviously not satisfied with Yabu's answer. While grabbing Yabu, he asked again in a more serious tone.

"...Just go out and look for a place like a pawn shop here."

"pawnshop?"

"It's the local doctor who sells things. I brought some things with me when I came here. I'll see if I can sell them for some money." After that, in order to prevent the doctor from being embarrassed to accept the money, Zhebu hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, doctor. I was planning to use these things in exchange for money, they are not important things, they are just for spending money."

He still had some things he brought with him before traveling through time, and he might be able to sell them for some money at a pawn shop or something.

At least I need to get some money before dark so that the doctor can have something good for dinner and find a decent place to live so that he won't sleep in the open and cause problems to the doctor's thin body.

"Really?" The doctor's voice became softer, but his hand still did not loosen.

Don't you want to leave me?

"Well, it's safe here, doctor. Don't worry. I checked it with the mark. If you're worried, I will use the mark from time to time to confirm your safety after I leave." Yabu still thinks that the doctor is afraid of the unfamiliar environment. Afraid, he repeatedly emphasized the safety here, "It is more efficient to operate separately. Doctor, you collect knowledge here, and I will make money, so that you can complete your goal sooner."

"Target......"

She wanted to say that she could just follow Yao Bu without reading the book and then read it later, but in front of a target sentence, she slowly swallowed her words.

Yes... there are also goals. Efficiency is paramount. This is all to achieve your goals as early as possible.

"...Okay, you go." After hesitating, the doctor added in a low voice, "Come back soon."

"Okay, don't worry, doctor, I'll bring you something delicious when you come back."

Looking at Yabu who was gradually leaving and waving to her with a smile, the doctor stood there quietly until he completely disappeared from her sight, then she slowly turned her head and flipped through the books in a trance.

nothing.

It's just that I think too much. Just read a book.

............

"What are you thinking about?" The old man sitting there looked at the branch that Yabu took out with the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone. "I can take away these three rocks, but this branch is fine."

Ballpoint pens, pendants, stones, tree branches, and bandages were the only things he took with him when he traveled through time.

Although the little things I prepared are messy, I understand this.

The pendant is pressed first.

The valuable pebbles are jade and other things bought in some jewelry stores. I want to sell them to make some money to prevent myself from being coerced in a different world because I have no money to start. And in that different world with magic, maybe gems and the like. It's quite useful, maybe it comes in handy.

It does come in handy now.

As for the bandage, I originally thought that after traveling to a world of swords and magic, if I couldn't afford the red bottle in the early stage, or if I encountered a wolf with the classic wind attribute at the beginning and got injured, I could bandage it myself.

The branches are just ordinary branches, broken from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the community. I originally wanted to go to another world to plant some local specialties from my hometown, and maybe if necessary, I could use the new species as an excuse to prove that I am an outsider. identity.

As for whether it is possible to farm...

Isn't there magic in other worlds? Don't ask about other people's magic.

You see, although it sounds like some people's deck construction, it's nonsense. It feels like "mosquitoes will land on the salt and think it's sugar. After eating the salt, they will be very thirsty and drink the rum in Pinggan." , when he was drunk, he tripped over a stick and hit himself to death on a stone." Such a strange brain circuit, but in fact he also had his own ideas.

But looking at it now, the idea is pretty good but a bit poor.

Apart from the fact that stones can be exchanged for some money, there is no full code for other preparations.

"Uncle, you may not understand what this is. If things are relatively expensive, this can be said to be the only thing in the world."
