A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

casualties...?

Is Yabu injured?

"...Both of them have lost their lives as a result of this accident."

But the voice that followed helped her choose between the two words the one she least wanted to choose.

What she heard was the news that her things had been used up and would never be returned.

"lost life?"

lost life?

What is a life lost?What does it mean to lose your life?Why is it said that Yabu lost his life?

The sound of broken bricks and tiles in the house, as well as the subsequent quarrel between Serea and the governor, could no longer reach Dorothy's ears. Dorothy, who was originally thinking about taking Yabu to eat at night, was now dead silent. It's like a machine whose core has been dug out, and it has no energy to continue functioning.

What does it mean to lose your life?Is this some new academic term?Does this word have any other meaning?

There must be some!

There must be...some...

Dorothy felt that all the strength in her body had been drained, her legs and feet were a little weak. The door in front of her became extremely scary and blurry in her eyes. She kept repeating something to comfort herself in her heart, but she still couldn't. Dare to open this door and confirm this with the person inside.

"Kristen, I want to leave Rhine Life."

Until finally, as Celia's voice sounded, the door that Dorothy didn't want to open was opened by Celia from the inside.

"...Dorothy?" Ceria was a little surprised that Dorothy was here.

She can control her emotions very well. Even if she just had a big fight with the commander-in-chief, she would not spread her anger towards Kristen to other people.

"Where's Yabu?" Dorothy asked the question she was most concerned about, even though she already knew the answer in her heart.

"..."

What to say?Say you don't know?

Seria really didn't know, because according to Hemo, Yabu sent Ifrit to her. After confirming that Ifrit had been protected, he suddenly fell forward. Like an overloaded car, it was instantly scrapped into a pile of parts after it reached the end and stopped.

If Hemo hadn't reacted quickly to support him, he would have been face down and in close contact with the earth.

For a moment, Hemo couldn't even feel Yabu's heartbeat. After emergency rescue, a few sips of glucose and a period of rest, his body finally started to function like a human being.

And it was in this state that Yabu was squeezing out a little bit of strength, like a person who had been dug out of a grave and had not yet adapted to his body. He collapsed on the ground like a dead body and blinked slowly, as if to explain his funeral. After whispering something to Ifrit, who had just woken up, and saying a few words like his last words to Helmer, he disappeared from the place without any warning as he had come.

Did he go back to the future?

Or...death?

Ceria didn't know, and she didn't know what Yabu's sudden disappearance meant.

But how to tell Dorothy about the current situation?

"Director Ceria." Seeing that Ceria didn't answer, Dorothy asked again, "Where's Yabu?"

Not far behind her, Kristen was standing there. She could definitely see and hear the exchanges and movements here, but facing Dorothy's question in front of her, Celia had to answer.

If she continues to remain silent, or says she doesn't know, or something different from what she told Kristen before, she will definitely be suspected by the general manager of Rhine Life.

At this time, there was only one left who could answer.

"He died due to an accident in the experiment."

"What does it mean to sacrifice?"

"It's just a loss of life."

“What is the loss of life?”

"It's death."

"...What is death?"

"Death means that there will be no more Zhebu." Faced with Dorothy's child-like self-isolation and unwillingness to face things, Ceria did not intend to continue spending time with her in front of the general jurisdiction. Here, her fantasy was simply shattered.

"Sorry... I still have something to do, Dorothy. We'll talk about this later."

At this moment, she couldn't say anything more. She could only apologize to Dorothy in her heart, preparing to deal with it with such words first, and then explain to the other party in private.

"...Anything else?"

But just as Seria was about to leave Dorothy, her arm was suddenly grabbed by Dorothy, and her fingers were tightly squeezed inward as if they were unaware of the pain.

"Anything else?"

What is your attitude?

Yabu died.

There are no more employees.

My belongings were used and damaged after someone borrowed them.

And your response from Seria was just one sentence, "Is there anything else?"

"What do you mean, is there anything else? Where is Yabu?"

"..."

"Director Ceria, tell me, where is Yabu?"

Ah, I see...

Dorothy understood that Director Seria's attitude must be because she didn't want to give the cloth back to her, and she hid the cloth...

"Stop making such jokes, okay Director Ceria? I can trade you for something else, anything, but this, only this..."

You can take anything, money, reputation, even the results of your own years of scientific research, you can take all of these.

But only this...

"Give him back to me..."

"I can't give it back..."

"Give it back to me!!!"

Dorothy interrupted Celia's words. Dorothy, who always seemed kind and amiable and had never yelled at anyone, suddenly raised her voice a little bit at this moment, leaving Ceria confused for a moment. measures.

"Ceria, give him back to me..."

"...Director Dorothy, there is nothing I can do about this matter." Ceria closed her eyes slightly, unable to bear to look directly at Dorothy's lifeless eyes, "We will talk about this later. Things, okay?"

"..."

Powerless?

Ha...can't do anything?

Do not make jokes.

I don't know whether she accepted the unchangeable result of Yabu's death or realized that praying was useless. Instead of continuing to scream and waffle, Dorothy suddenly calmed down and slowly let go of Ceria's hand, but this kind of The act of letting go made Ceria feel an indescribable feeling.

She just tilted her head slightly, standing in the aisle without saying anything, engulfing Seria's whole body with her eyes, like a madman who had just escaped from a mental hospital, inorganic The sight felt like needles piercing the back of the neck.

"Dorothy?" It was obvious that the other party had let go of Celia, but the situation at this moment made Celia feel turned upside down. She felt that she had to pull the other party back from something.

But the one who responded to her was Dorothy's polite reply.

"...I still have something to do, Director Ceria."

Dorothy closed her eyes for a moment, looked away, and responded to Seria's words again.

"We'll talk about this later."

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

*After that, Seria mentioned to Dorothy in private many times in various ways that Yabu was not dead.

*But they were all ignored by Dorothy in the laboratory as lies and comfort.

Chapter 163 We are safe...temporarily

November 11th should be a very ordinary day for most people.

But for Yabu, it is worth remembering.

Because he survived.

"what......"

Although he knew that he had not escaped from the future of death, Yabu now felt a sense of joy in surviving the disaster.

He thought he was dead this time, and he thought that his ending might be turned into a mature person by Ifrit, but it turned out that Enma didn't have high intelligence at all, and there was no dead end in handling it.

The closed loop about Dalia has also been completed, and in the end, the doctor was not encountered.

In other words, he still has a chance to see the doctor through the pendant, but he has no need to use the pendant recently. After all, the Ifrit matter has been dealt with.

...Great, I must have guessed wrong. It seems that what the doctor didn't say was not fire at all.

Due to lack of strength, Yabu had just been sent back by the pendant, so he knelt on the ground with his hands on the bed. It wasn't that he didn't want to lie down on the bed, but he didn't even have the strength to bend forward.

He is still alive now, thanks to Ceria's first aid skills.

His physical strength was exhausted on the way back. He was able to send Ifrit back only by relying on nearly life-threatening support and a certain mechanism that was initially regarded as a defect. of.

Oh, yes, there is also a transmitter, you can let the transmitter move you to the bed...

This transmitter is really convenient. It may be a little uncomfortable to use at first, but once you get used to the feeling of something extra, it will be like having a prosthetic body that will not get tired and can work all the time.

Although this fake body does not have a large number of transmitters, it can only condense a few hands at present.

But just these hands are also very practical. Judging from the recent results of use, when Dorothy's achievements are fully mature and can be used by everyone, they will definitely be able to promote the progress of the entire world.

Oh, yes...I don’t know what’s going on with Dorothy.

Although Yabu asked Helmer to send a message to Ceria, asking her to help bring a message to Dorothy and tell Dorothy that he was leaving first, but he resigned suddenly without saying hello, which still felt a bit too free. Quite a bit.

But Dorothy should be fine. After all, before he left, Yabu asked Celia to take care of Dorothy a little bit after he left. With someone like Celia taking care of her, Dorothy should be Nothing will happen.

so......

"ended--"

Home, dear home.

Probably because he has been working overtime, it has only been seven days, but Yabu feels as if he has lived another life.

Yabu, who was being held up and lying on the bed, buried his head on the pillow, constantly breathing in the friendly atmosphere of his home. This familiar and peaceful atmosphere made him feel like his heart was a little thicker. Vitality.

But then again, is it because I'm too tired?

Why do I feel a very familiar scent of shower gel on my bed?

Why is he not the only one breathing?

Why, it seemed like a soft thing was sitting on his bed, still stroking himself and blowing hot breath on himself.

"ended?"

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

"It's an illusion, I must be very sleepy." After a few words of laughter, Zhe Buba stuffed his face into the pillow and said, "Good night."

"There's no use escaping reality, even if you bury your head in the pillow, it's no use, Yabu."

"...What a coincidence, doctor, you are also in my room."

What should I do? Is it too late for Slide Rail to apologize now? Would it be better to drag myself with the transmitter to kneel down and beg for mercy?

"Yeah, what a coincidence. I happened to want to go home early, and I discovered that the person I trusted the most had been lying to me." The doctor reached out and kneaded the dry and curly hair on Yabu's head. "Are you hurt?"

"Gu...no."

The familiar voice conveyed words of concern rather than accountability. His body was not beaten by the doctor, but only touched cautiously. However, facing such a doctor, Yabu felt as if he was being looked down upon from top to bottom by some natural enemy. , he could only lie there without daring to move, and his back even began to feel a little cold when he was exposed to the opponent's sight.
