A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

"If I really have a good relationship with Lapland and am her friend, as you just said, then I shouldn't lie to her. If I tell a lie, I may have to use more lies to cover it up. If this continues It's going to go wrong eventually, and it's better to just admit it from the beginning."

Yabu did not directly accuse the other party of deceiving others and not doing it. It would undoubtedly embarrass the other party, and there might be situations in the other party that he had not considered.

"I think so, but I am a person with amnesia after all. If there is anything I haven't considered, I hope Texas can help me fill it in."

What you should do at this time is try to explain the pros and cons of doing so in your opinion, and let the other party understand what you think. In this way, the other party may accept your explanation and change his mind on this basis, or the other party may do the same. Explain to herself elements of her thinking that she had not thought of.

In the final analysis, communication is a matter of convincing each other, rather than covering your ears and blindly expressing your opinions.

"Well... I didn't explain the relationship between you clearly. It may not be clear to use the term "very good". It should be said that you are very important to her. It may be more appropriate to regard you as her doctor. More appropriate."

"Doctor? Are you suffering from any physical illness?" Yanbu didn't just let the other party talk alone. He also asked some questions at the right time to maintain communication with the other party.

"No...well, actually, but her physical illness has been cured by you. I'm talking about the problem here." Texas tapped his temples a few times, but The words were changed to a more tactful one, "She may have some psychological problems, and you may be her only psychiatrist."

Chapter 76 How do ghosts eat?

"I'm not a psychiatrist. I have no knowledge in that area..."

"But judging from the results, you did alleviate her psychological problems."

Texas has always known that Lapland has some psychological problems, but she only knows that. Some of her own problems sometimes make her feel tired. On top of this, dealing with her colleagues' problems is enough. This was the limit of what she could do with her energy. She really didn't have the time or the means to resolve Lapland's extremely unstable mood.

But now it seems that the other party has got the answer, as if he has touched the rope that can cross the river, and the whole person is gradually freed from the haze of the past.

"She has started to get better now, but the premise of all this is that there is nothing wrong with you. If you suddenly tell her that you have lost your memory, I'm afraid she might not be able to hold on."

If the other party is just getting better, but tells the other party that there is something wrong with the rope that can pull her out of her confusion...

"I don't know if this is accurate, but I feel that you may be her spiritual support now."

Although Texas' appearance may make people feel a little cold, it is not actually the case. She just doesn't show it too much.She is not emotionless, and her ability to empathize can even be said to be very strong, which is why she can have a good relationship with all her colleagues.

It can be seen from Lapland's previous performances that she really cares about this ghost. When he finally handed the pendant to her, Texas could vaguely feel how much heavy emotions the other party placed on her. On top of this.

"I understand that deception will cause a lot of problems, but at least, don't confess this kind of thing directly at the beginning." Texas understands what Yabu means. The deception will be exposed one day, not to mention that he still looks up every day and disappears. The person you meet with your head down.

But she also had her own considerations. She didn't mean to let Yabu pretend to have no amnesia all the time, but...

"We need to do it step by step and slowly let her understand my amnesia. Is this what Texas means?"

"Yes."

Although it may not be easy to distinguish Lapland from normal people, the other person's emotional fluctuations are indeed as if there is no safety valve compared to ordinary people, and it is easier to exceed the threshold and do extreme things.

Suddenly being told that something was wrong with what she regarded as her spiritual support, a normal person might lose control, let alone Lapland, she might really go crazy.

"What do you think about this matter?" Even though everything had been made clear, Texas still asked whether Yabu was willing.

Logically reasonable is one thing, but Texas has not seen people with particularly straight personalities. Compared with whether it is reasonable or not, they always accept a rule and do not accept any compromise.

In the final analysis, it still depends on whether the ghost agrees or not.

"When will Lapland come back?"

"She won't come back here. This is my room. She lives next door." Texas pointed to the wall at the other end. On the opposite side of the wall was Lapland's room.

Looking at the distance that was only separated by a wall, Texas suddenly felt a little lucky. The emperor should have considered that someone might play some noisy instruments or other things in the room. The sound insulation effect of each independent room is excellent. , even if he talks against the wall, Lapland on the other side should not be able to hear the movement on his side.

"Then when will I meet Lapland?"

"Any time, at the latest...can you control yourself from disappearing?"

"This doesn't seem to be something I can actively control."

"The latest will be tomorrow."

After all, Lapland will definitely come to find her tomorrow, and she will definitely see Yabu. If Yabu can control himself to disappear, then she may be able to use Yabu to rest for a little longer.

"Okay, before that, Texas, can you tell me more about Lapland and other things related to me? This way I can act more like myself."

"Okay, but I don't know much about you, but I will try my best to tell you what I know." Hearing Yabu's question, Texas understood that Yabu meant that he had agreed. My body felt much softer on the sofa.

After nodding and agreeing to Yabu's request, she reached out and opened the drawer of the table next to her. Yabu thought that Texas was going to take out something important to explain, but when he looked around, there was something in the drawer. But it was full of biscuits with some kind of packaging that made Yabu feel familiar.

"I don't have much to entertain at home, do you want to eat this?" Texas took out a box and handed it to the guest, Yabu, as if to express his friendliness to others in this way.

"Well... I probably have no body and can't eat." Yabu said this, but his desire for food still made him reach out his hand and try to reach it a few times, but the result was naturally nothing. It went right through unexpectedly.

"Without entity? That before..." Texas paused for a moment, and did not directly say why he felt something was kicked when he kicked you before. After all, using himself as an example of hitting the opponent, Texas was still slightly A little embarrassed.

"That is the product of my ability, not that my body has an entity." Yanbu naturally understood the meaning of Texas' pause, and reached out again, trying to make the ability work, demonstrating for Texas For a moment.

Just like before, the green light gradually solidified to form something like a barrier, as if it turned into a light green transparent crystal, but this time it formed a bigger barrier than what was seen during the previous Texas attack. It was much smaller, like a fingernail, controlled and suspended on the fingertips of the ghost Yabu.

As he gently shrinks the distance between his fingers, the squeeze between the barriers replaces his limbs that can't touch anything, establishing a contact channel with the outside world, allowing him who can't touch anything to be there. This moment can be regarded as "holding" the cookie box to a certain extent.

"Probably...that's it." Yabu shook the biscuit a few times before returning it to Texas, "But only if you can touch it."

After all, he couldn't just put a barrier on his mouth, pretend to be eating, and then let the chewed food pass directly through his body.

Just thinking about that kind of thing makes me feel so sad.

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

*Texas felt a little regretful, she really wanted to see what the ghost looked like when eating.

Chapter 77 Obviously, it was me first

7:13 in the morning.

"We have thought of everything we can think of at the moment." Texas sat at the dining table and looked at the breakfast on the table, but it seemed that he was just looking at it without any intention of eating, "Just follow our agreement first. Come like that."

"Well, Texas, you eat first. I'll go next door and ask Lapland to come over for breakfast. If it's not enough, there will be more in the pot. Of course, the main thing is to eat enough. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. You can put it in the refrigerator and take it later. Come out and heat it up to eat.”

"...Okay." Texas nodded and gave a simple response. Then she kept looking at Yabu without saying anything. It wasn't until he left through the wall from her room that she lowered her head and turned her gaze again. Put it back on the table.

She didn't eat immediately. It wasn't that she didn't like the food in front of her, nor was she dissatisfied with others using her kitchen. Yabu had already asked her about these two things last night and got her consent.

She just didn't expect that the few things in her refrigerator could actually make a decent or even sumptuous breakfast.

Since I usually live alone, it can be said that there is no need to have a fixed location for eating. It is often solved by directly buying food made by others. Apart from some drinks and snacks, there are only some quick meals in the refrigerator.

Not to mention the kitchen at home, he had not even used the dining table seriously a few times. Suddenly sitting down to eat at his own dining table after a long time, Texas really didn't know what to do for a while.

However, after looking at the steam coming from the food on the table for a while, Texas still picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat slowly, putting the food into his mouth and chewing it as he tried.

Breakfast cooked by a ghost.

Although he couldn't see how the other party used the kitchen, Texas felt quite excited when he thought that in other people's eyes, those pots and pans might be floating in the air to prepare the meal, and jumping on the table for breakfast. For fun.

As for the taste of this breakfast, although Texas didn't say anything while eating, and she didn't show a particularly exaggerated expression on her face, judging from her overall state, it should be a taste she liked very much.

The ears on her head twitched slightly, and the act of eating also made the cold feeling on her body much weaker. On the contrary, the state of just waking up in the morning made her look a little fluffy.

Calm and peaceful.

But this feeling only lasted until there was a knock on the door.

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he stood up and walked to the door. Texas knew without thinking that the person outside the door should be Lapland, and the first thing the other party said to him after he opened the door was probably... .

"Yo, Texas."

"Why do you always add "yo" before my name when you greet me?" Texas asked with a hint of helplessness.

"Doesn't this seem friendly?" Lapland smiled casually and gave an explanation that he didn't know whether it was true or not. He looked like he was eager to go into the house and take a look. "Let's not talk about it for now. Yabu said he did Breakfast? Really?"

"Ah."

After looking at Lapland and the cloth floating beside her, Texas sideways gave up his position and signaled Lapland to come in. Naturally, Lapland was not polite and followed. He walked in as if he were in his own home. When Texas closed the door and returned to the dining table, Lapland, who was sitting there and already eating, looked like the owner of the home.

——Oh, you're welcome, just find a place to sit and take whatever you want to eat, don't be embarrassed.

——If I remember correctly, this should be my home, right?

"It's quite delicious. Did you really make this? Can you touch things?" Lapland tasted his own breakfast on the table, but he still didn't believe that it was made by Yabu himself.

"I made it. How does it taste? Is it good?" Yabu wasn't sure whether what he made would be agreeable. After all, it is common for people to disagree.

While asking whether it suited the other party's taste, Yabu also used the other party's words to summarize his situation before amnesia to prevent loopholes.

Although Yabu wanted to make the two of them eat better when it came to making breakfast, in fact, this matter was also a plan that came out after discussing with Texas yesterday.

The purpose is to observe Lapland's reaction through some less deliberate things, so as to guess what state Yabu was in Lapland before.

For example, we can now know that the fact that Yabu can touch the entity is not a known normal thing in Lapland's view. This seems to be a new ability that Yabu suddenly unlocked here in Texas yesterday.

"Not bad." Lapland swallowed what was in his mouth and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue, "Isn't this something you bought?"

"I really did it. If you like it, I can do it for you again and you can watch from the side."

"So you can actually...touch things?"

"Well, how about I show you a demonstration? Do you want milk?" Yabu suggested calmly, wanting to prove through practical actions that he could indeed touch real objects. He tilted his head slightly and pointed gently in the direction of the kitchen with his hand. ,

"Okay." Lapland nodded to express his need, and then watched Yabu float away from his side and headed towards the kitchen.

Until Yabu entered the kitchen, Lapland's face was filled with joy that her friend could touch the items. She squinted her eyes, curved the corners of her mouth into a brilliant arc, and conveyed to Yabu with a smile, "I'm here for you." Feeling happy about this."

At least that's how she looked until Yabu entered the kitchen and left her sight.

'Ya Bu can indeed touch things. '

That is to say...

Chewing and swallowing, Lapland's eating speed gradually slowed down, until she finally stopped completely. She sat upright, with the tableware still hanging in place, stagnant in mid-air.Her eyes were fixed on Texas calmly and firmly, with a look of alarm in them.

This made Lapland feel a little lonely and bored, and an indescribable sadness arose in his heart. After just one night, there seemed to be some change that he didn't know about between Texas and Yabu. , a change that had never happened to her before.

Yabu could touch things. This discovery brought surprise to Lapland, but he also felt vaguely disappointed, because a new side of his things was discovered, but the person who discovered it was not. Own.

and......

"Texas, you can see the cloth, right?"

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

* Lapland felt a little uncomfortable.

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

Chapter 78 A cowardly act

All security before this came from Texas' inability to see, hear, and connect with Yabu.

But now, the two of them have established a connection that belongs to them - this ability to suddenly be able to touch the outside world, but they don't know anything, like an outsider.Lapland understood that this idea was somewhat unreasonable, but he still couldn't ignore the dull pain in his heart.

"Texas, you can see the cloth, right?"

This is not difficult to detect, it would be better to say that the other party has no intention of covering up this matter at all.

"Ah."

"Can we communicate now?"

"Ah."

"That's right...then you know everything related to him and have told him everything, right?"

"I have told him everything I have learned. As for the client, they should contact me later."

From the distant ears of Yabu, who was carefully heating milk in the kitchen, it sounded to Lapland that this was just an ordinary exchange of inquiries with friends at the dinner table.

"Then Texas, give me the pendant first, okay?"

But Texas, who was opposite Lapland, could clearly sense that the other party wanted to take away the pendant this time, and even omitted the reason. It was not so much an inquiry and discussion, but a request that could not be refused. .

The other party's eyes were a little cold, like those of a wolf. He was fiercely grabbing the outsider who stepped into his territory without authorization, warning the other party to leave immediately, otherwise he would bite the intruder's throat mercilessly in the next second. .

"Yeah, sure." But Texas had faced this kind of look many times in the past, so he was already used to it and took it calmly.

She remained unmoved, as if she was not aware of the hostility in Lapland's eyes at all, and calmly swallowed the food in her mouth. Then she slowly put down the tableware, and calmly picked up the napkin on the side and wiped it gently. After lowering his lips, he slowly took out the pendant from his pocket and put it on the table. He looked up at Lapland with clear and calm eyes.

The other party's dull attitude made Lapland feel even more annoyed. However, compared to this, there was another more eye-catching thing that attracted Lapland's attention: "Why, the pendant has an extra layer of protection on the outside." shell?"
