A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

Sure?

Yabu lowered his head and stared at the lines on the floor, but did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he sighed in his heart, without revealing any inner bitterness, and slowly replied: "...Okay."

If Elena couldn't think of doing something again because she didn't leave with him...

"Is this the thing that will kill you? Have you seen the useful mark?"

With the ability to mark, Yabu can avoid any danger, and it is impossible for him to die.

Unless...unless, that's what he knew it might be but still chose to do.

"I can't go and see it, because if I knew it would lead to death, I might not be able to do better..."

If he knows that death will definitely happen at a certain moment, he may no longer have hope, stop trying to keep himself alive, and may be... afraid.

Having the courage to face death does not mean that you will no longer feel fear, but it means that you can maintain your true heart amidst fear.

But Yabu was not sure whether fear and giving up would prevail at some point if he saw the result that he would definitely die.

——If you know in advance that you will die, is it necessary to try to survive?

This mentality of giving up is absolutely unacceptable.

*If the outcome has been decided, then there is no point in knowing the future in advance.

*If fate is unpredictable, there is no point in knowing the outcome in advance.

*I am now.

Chapter 2 Do what you want to do

Once fear takes over, it becomes her slave.

If you want to help others, you must not lose hope earlier than the person who needs help.

"Mr. Yabu." Elena stretched out her bandaged hands and gently touched the marks left by herself on Yabu's neck. As her fingers traced the red marks, the depths of her pupils appeared from time to time. Obsession and admiration.

"You know, I don't want you to die, I'm scared."

"Well..." Yabu's eyes dimmed a little, he lowered his head and said nothing, allowing Elena to touch her wantonly without any resistance.

"You wouldn't let me go with you, would you?"

"Yes......"

He was going to help, but helping one child should not risk the safety of another child. He hoped that Elena could leave Chernobgo safely.

"I'm afraid you'll die, Mr. Jubu." Elena repeated.

"I see."

"so......"

The hands caressing the scars suddenly moved up to hug Yabu's cheeks, moving so that he and Elena's eyes met.

"...Alena?"

"I've been through it."

"what?"

"Mr. Yabu, I have experienced it, so I understand that there are two kinds of human death. One is the disappearance of the body, the heart stops beating, and the brain no longer responds. The other is the disappearance of the spirit, which no longer responds to this. The world clings to longing and hope and loses itself and the meaning of existence.”

"..."

千'寻'免:费;""'小,:':说',.:裙..2::,!5;,!:!5:;.''5;";9.!;:5!;''!3;!!!0!";;.0　　听着艾伦娜那仿佛阐述自我前半生的话，桠布有些惊讶的睁大了双眼，注视着艾伦娜，也注视着对方眼眸中的自己。

There is an indescribable feeling that I have never felt before.

After coming to another world, Yabu saw many pairs of eyes looking at him.

Like a rootless tree teetering on the verge of collapse, overflowing with pain and numbness, surprised and curious, confused with helplessness, innocent and simple longing, full of apologies from unknown sources, fearful but still courageous, and persistent. desire for things.

But Wei Wei has never been looked at like this.

Those red eyes still convey longing, but they are no longer as silent and turbid as a dead pool. They are translucent and pure, like glass made of red gemstones, reflecting the enlightened self of its owner.

"I'm afraid, Mr. Yaobu, I'm afraid that my choice will lead to Mr. Yaobu's death, no matter which way it is."

If you break Mr. Yabu's limbs, keep him by your side, fill his body with silk threads, and only take them out to play with when needed to satisfy your desires.

Then he really won't die.

But Mr. Yabu was already dead.

After all, how can you tell if someone is still alive?

Only when physical life and spiritual life exist at the same time can a "person" be alive.

If you have to say that just being alive is enough, as long as the body is still alive, then for Elena, it is simply denying the first half of her life.

Want to hear silence, want a good night's sleep, want to be acknowledged.

I am afraid, not of death, or of loud noises, or of nothingness, but of being in this world as if "I" had never existed.

What Yabu brought to Elena was not only a physical rebirth, but also a spiritual one.So in the same way, Elena hopes that Zanbu, who has brought both of them to her, will not lose them either.

"I hope that Mr. Yabu will always be Mr. Yabu, and I hope that Mr. Yabu will not die. I am very greedy. Not only do I not want Mr. Yabu to die physically, but I also do not want Mr. Yabu to die mentally."

"But if I force you to go with Mr. Yaobu ​​now, mentally, Mr. Yaobu ​​will probably die immediately."

Is it to choose the forced control that will definitely cause Yabu's self-death, or to choose to let Yabu do what he wants to do, and bet that Yabu will face physical disappearance, or an ending in which both body and spirit can survive.

"I'm afraid that you will die, Mr. Yabu," Elena let go of Yabu's cheek and held Yabu's hand, seeming to be entangled with something, "So, do what you want to do."

"I believe you, Mr. Yaobu, so this is okay. I should leave the choice to you."

"I choose to [submit] to your thoughts."

If Yao Bu is willing to leave with her, that is the result that Elena wants to see most, because it means that Yao Bu chose this result without violating himself.

But if Yabu chooses to stay and take risks to help Zoya, Elena will also understand and pray for Yabu.

"So, Mr. Yaobu, which one do you want to choose? You don't have to worry about me this time. No matter which one Mr. Yaobu ​​chooses, it doesn't matter."

Unlike before, Elena used her own death as an option to force Yabu, this time, she really wanted to let Yabu make a choice.

"I think..." Yabu looked down at his hands, "I think, choose to stay."

"That's it."

Rather, it must have been like this from the beginning. If it was Yabu, it would definitely be like this.

"Then, Mr. Yabu, I will follow your wishes and leave with Mr. Herague. I will wait for you to come back outside."

"But..." Elena lowered her eyes slightly, "If you don't come back..."

If, if... Yabu's death is really this time.

Seeing that Yao Bu in front of her became nervous about whether she would do anything to harm herself because she suddenly made this assumption, Elena smiled, suddenly moved forward and hugged Yao Bu, whispering He whispered in his ear.

"Don't be nervous. If you don't come back, I won't hurt myself, I won't fall into madness, and I won't seek death by not cherishing my own life again."

"If you really don't come back, I will work harder in my future life to search and learn until one day I can get you back."

"But..." Elena held Yabu's wrist with a little force, her voice carrying a hint of threat, "If you didn't come back on your own, but I brought you back, then Yabu Mr. Bu, you'd better pray and pray that I won't do anything excessive to your hands and feet."

"Gulu..." Yabu swallowed the tax deduction unconsciously. The sudden change in tone and the slowly tightening strength of his hands made him feel a little timid and panicked.

W-what do you mean, doing something excessive to your hands and feet...

"Understand, this is my willfulness, and if you can't come back, there is nothing you can do to stop my willfulness."

As for whether I will fail...it doesn't matter.

Even if you don't succeed in the end, when everything is over, at the end of your own time, when you die, you will die, and then you will see Yabu again.

Well, then break his hands and feet.

Want to escape after dying?Stop dreaming, keep your sleep talking to your dreams.

Even death cannot separate you and me.

"So Yabu." Elena pointed to Yabu's hand.

"Do what you want to do."

*Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you, but you shouldn’t impose on others what you want to do to yourself.

*It wasn't until this moment that she finally understood.

Chapter 2 Translation Translation

I am, 7.

I am choosing and trying.

I came to a new class and had a new class teacher.

On the first day she met us, because she wanted to get to know us, she left a homework to write down what she wanted to do in the future.

The students were very happy because the assignment was very simple and very small. They quickly started discussing with each other. It seemed that they all had their own answers and were talking about what they wanted to do in the future.

But I can't write it...

But I don’t want to mess with the past, because I also want to know what people should do in the future.

So after I got home, I asked my mother this question.

My mother is a physics teacher in other schools.

Although I haven’t heard much about physics, I feel it is very powerful. I should know more about it.

“If you really don’t know what to do, then study hard.”

——Then what?

"Get into a good university."

--and then?

"Well, then... you can find a good job and make money?"

——What happens next?

"What do you mean...and then?"

——That is, after making money, I mean, in the end, what should I become?

"..."

——Mom, what kind of person did you want to be when you were a child?

For some reason, my mother looked at me with a look of surprise, and then confusion that she had never seen before. After a long silence, there was only a soft sigh.

"I'm sorry. Mom has forgotten her dream and has become a rotten adult who only thinks about money. If you can, don't become a person like me."

She then pretended to cry, as if she was joking with the child, but also seemed to be warning her true thoughts.

Maybe he wants to be a particularly powerful person?Or find some formula and name it after yourself?In short, she definitely didn't want to be a teacher, but she couldn't remember what it was.

——Is there anything that, as long as you do it, you will definitely not go wrong?

The abnormalities in your body should be used in the right place.

If there is something that is absolutely right, I will do it obediently.

Have it?Is there such a thing?

"......Yep."

Mom told me.
