This Text Adventure Game Is Totally Poisonous

Chapter 705: Confused (Not Part of the Main Story)

Mu You and Vivian continued to lead the way.

Lin Xue and Xiao Ya were hanging behind the two of them, discussing private matters in a low voice.

"And then there is..."

"I also watched this..."

Xiao Ya was excitedly preparing to talk about her favorite TV show, but when she looked up, she found that Lin Xue's eyes had already moved away, and her eyes were fixed on the front.

"Why don't you say anything?"

Lin Xue suddenly looked back at her, indicating that she was listening.

"Sister Xue, are you... worried?" Xiao Ya said hesitantly.

Lin Xue was stunned: "Why do you ask that?"

"Because..."

Xiao Ya glanced at Mu You in front of her, then looked at her, not knowing how to explain. Even someone as slow as her could feel that Lin Xue seemed to be talking to her, but in fact his attention was not on her at all, but...

"..."

Lin Xue was stunned.

Since she woke up from her dream before, she had indeed been paying attention to Mu You intentionally or unintentionally.

She thought the experience in the dream was just a trivial matter that didn't need to be taken seriously, and Mu You probably had forgotten it completely, otherwise he would have recognized her when he met her before.

Since the other party had forgotten the dream, she naturally didn't need to care.

However, when Mu You woke up and looked at her, her heart suddenly jumped, because she read Mu You's mind for the first time: he actually still remembered the dream!

Fortunately, he only remembered a vague outline, and he was not sure that the person in the dream was her, and he had no impression of the last kiss at all...

Lin Xue subconsciously pretended to be stupid and muddled through it. When Mu You diverted his attention, she was relieved, but then she had an inexplicable sense of loss.

Driven by this weird feeling, she couldn't help but began to read Mu You's mind over and over again. She was obviously afraid that he would remember it, but she seemed to be looking forward to him remembering it...

Under the two contradictory mentalities, her mental concentration began to decline rapidly, she lost her usual calmness, and became easily distracted.

The reason why she was hiding from Mu You was that from the beginning, once their eyes met, her heartbeat would speed up involuntarily, and the temperature of her face would rise uncontrollably, so she could only avoid him carefully to avoid losing her composure.

Lin Xue thought she had hidden it well, but until this moment, she realized that what she did seemed to be a bit more obvious, and it made everyone see her thoughts.

Lin Xue was still in a daze, but Mu You and Vivian in front of her stopped for a long time and looked back.

Their eyes naturally met, but this time Lin Xue didn't have time to avoid it. She only felt her heart beat violently, and the temperature of her cheeks began to rise rapidly again.

Lin Xue wanted to turn her face in panic, but fortunately at this time, time jumped again.

The surroundings were quietly empty, and the figures of the three disappeared without a trace.

Lin Xue actually felt relieved.

She didn't rush back, but took the opportunity to calm down.

This trip is for serious business, not for thinking about these messy things, concentrate, concentrate...

Lin Xue closed her eyes and brainwashed herself in her heart.

After a few seconds, she opened her eyes, and her eyes and face had returned to normal.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xue prepared herself and adjusted the clock hands.

The surrounding scene changed quietly.

However, the figures of the three people did not appear.

The sky seemed to become a little darker, and the number of clock people who were originally few in the vicinity suddenly became quite dense.

The densely packed clock people carried the goods and passed by her numbly, and did not deliberately avoid her position.

Lin Xue was stunned, and soon realized something, and hurriedly looked at the clock.

Sure enough, the time was wrong.

But it wasn't the clock's problem, it was her own problem: she had actually reversed the hour and minute hands...

Her original time should have been 7:05, but she had just reversed the minute and hour hands and adjusted the time to 1:35, which jumped more than six hours...

Lin Xue couldn't believe that she could be so confused as to make such a low-level mistake.

Without time to think about it, she hurriedly adjusted the pointer back and pressed the knob again.

However, the time did not jump back directly, and she remained in this timeline.

Lin Xue was stunned, and then she remembered that Vivian had actually mentioned a hidden rule just now: the timeline cannot be jumped continuously in a short period of time, and there will be a cooling time after each jump, and the interval depends on the length of the last jump.

If it is within an hour, this interval will be very short, only a few seconds, almost imperceptible, and then it will increase proportionally, and once the jump exceeds five hours, the cooling time will be greatly extended.

And she just jumped for more than six hours, I'm afraid it will take at least ten minutes to jump again.

If that was all, Lin Xue wouldn't be too worried. At most, she could delay here for ten minutes. As long as she remembered the original time, she could go back naturally.

But at this moment, a clock man towing a truck passed by from behind and bumped into her with his back, hitting her elbow.

Lin Xue was fine, but the clock in her hand flew out of her hand and fell at the feet of another clock man. He kicked it out and rolled across most of the street. With a bang, it hit the wall in the distance.

All the clock men around were attracted by the crisp sound. They stopped and turned to look at her.

Lin Xue felt that she had instantly become the focus of everyone.

In the distance, a clockmaker picked up the clock she dropped, ran quickly to Lin Xue, and flatteringly raised the clock with both hands, as if he wanted to return it to her.

Lin Xue hesitated.

Vivian had warned not to communicate with these clock people, and no matter what they did, it was best to ignore them.

However, her clock is still in the opponent's hand. If she doesn't get the clock back, she will lose her only time coordinate.

Lin Xue had no choice but to take the clock from the clockman regardless of the risk.

However, when he turned the clock over and looked at it, he found that the inside of the clock had been shattered. Several conspicuous cracks passed through the power unit in the center of the watch, and the hour and minute hands fell directly from the center.

"Oops..." Lin Xue's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition.

If this watch breaks, she will have to use another clock if she wants to go back. However, in the chaotic timeline, the time of each clock is random. If she gets other clocks, she cannot determine the original timeline correspondence. What should be the time.

This means that she can only try her luck and try to jump second by second. If she is not lucky, she may try thousands of times and never get back to the original time.

Moreover, it was impossible for the watchers around her to give her time to try slowly.

When the clock maker just now saw Lin Xue taking the clock, he was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly got back his goods, ran back to Lin Xue, holding them in both hands, and wanted to hand over the goods to her as well.

Through her mind reading skills, Lin Xue clearly understood the clockman's meaning: the other person did not want to deliver goods to her, but was too tired and wanted her to do the work for a minute, so he took the opportunity to take a rest.

Naturally, Lin Xue did not take the job, because she knew that as long as she accepted one, the other watchmakers would follow suit and continue to entrust her with work until she was assimilated into one of these watchmakers.

Lin Xue shook his head and quickly walked away from the place in full view of everyone.

The clockmaker looked at her retreating back in astonishment, changing from dull, to disappointed, to angry.

Lin Xue heard the movement behind her and turned around to look, only to find that a large number of clockworkers were chasing her, as if they wanted to catch her back to complete their due work.

Lin Xue felt a little numb when she saw it. Originally, she didn't want to go too far because she had to jump back in time. But in this situation, she couldn't run away.

Lin Xue hurriedly accelerated to escape, but more and more clockworkers gathered along the road. They all looked like drowning people grabbing a life-saving straw and rushed toward Lin Xue crazily.

Seeing more and more pursuers from all directions, and Lin Xue was not familiar with the city, he was soon blocked at a street intersection.

The clockmen around him rushed in like crazy, and Lin Xue had no choice but to summon the God Skin and retreat continuously, but there were fewer and fewer retreats, and he was soon forced into a corner.

Just when Lin Xue was about to be cornered and a little desperate.

A hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed her wrist, and led her behind her.

Then a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

The crazy people around them suddenly stopped after the figure appeared. They looked hesitantly at the figure in front of the woman, looking at each other, but no one dared to be the first to step forward.

Mu You glanced coldly at the malicious watchmakers around him.

"roll!"

With a loud shout, all the watchmen trembled, no longer daring to stay, and dispersed like a tide.

The pursuers left just as quickly as they came, and in the blink of an eye, they were the only two people left.

Mu You then turned back to look at Lin Xue, holding her hand but not letting go, because he was worried that she would suddenly jump again. As long as the two people kept their bodies in contact, they would jump together even if they jumped.

Just now they discovered that Lin Xue had not returned for more than a minute after disappearing, so they knew something must have happened.

Mu You used backtracking and time jumps, jumping tens of thousands of times in the timeline of ten hours before and after, before finally finding the timeline where she was.

This time, Lin Xue was caught by Mu You and looked directly at him from a close distance. He could not avoid it. His heart skipped a beat. He blushed and averted his eyes. He said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry... I messed up..."

She thought she had adjusted her mentality just now, but in fact she was still in a state of confusion, and the things she did started to become messy. A series of misunderstandings almost drove her to a dead end...

"It's nothing, but...are you okay?" Mu You looked at her worriedly.

If it was Xiaoya who did such a confusing thing, he wouldn't be too surprised, but it was Lin Xue who fainted.

With Lin Xue's usual rigor and calmness, it was the strangest thing for Mu You that he could make such a low-level mistake.

"Um……"

Lin Xue let out a long breath. After calming down for a moment, he turned his gaze back to Mu You and smiled at him: "I've made you worry, I'm fine."

"Is everything okay?" Mu You was a little doubtful.

"Well, really." Lin Xue smiled and nodded.

In fact, her face was still hot and her heartbeat was still fast, but after all these twists and turns, she was relieved. Just be embarrassed, and escape was never an option.

"That's good……"

Seeing that she had indeed calmed down, Mu You nodded: "I don't have the ability to read minds so easily, and I'm not good at guessing other people's thoughts. You have to tell me what's on your mind. If you can't tell me, just tell me. It’s the same thing with Xiao Yavivian and the others.”

"Okay..." Lin Xue nodded obediently, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

"Then...go back."

Mu You looked a little strange. Lin Xue was indeed too abnormal today. However, he did not ask any more questions at this time. He took out the clock and adjusted the time.

The surrounding scenes jumped for a while, and the two returned to the previous timeline again.

In the distance, Vivian and Xiaoya, who were waiting on the side, saw the two people appear and hurried towards them.

"Sorry, teacher, I made a mistake..." Lin Xue lowered her head embarrassedly.

"It's just an accident, don't worry about it." Vivian flew to her shoulder.

"That's right, I made a mistake several times." Xiaoya also walked quickly to Lin Xue's side, took her arm and comforted her.

Lin Xue was a little moved and a little ashamed. The three of them were taking care of her emotions. Only she was here thinking about it and dragging her feet. It really shouldn't be...

After a short episode, Lin Xue found a new clock nearby, recorded the time, and everyone continued on the road.

After a long journey, the three were actually very close to the city center.

After walking forward for another half an hour, a huge and magnificent palace appeared in the square in front.

In front of the palace gate, a dense crowd of time guards lined up to patrol.

As the four approached, several time guards rushed over with giant axes in hand, blocking their way.

"The time palace is currently not open to outsiders, leave quickly!"

Perhaps due to Mu You's status as an administrator, the time guards did not drive them away directly, but warned them first.

"We are here to see the Queen of Time." Vivian said.

"The queen is resting and will not see guests. You go!"

"Let them in."

A female voice suddenly came from the depths of the palace behind.

Several smoke beasts looked at each other and then made way.

Vivian seemed to have no surprise and flew into the palace. The three hurriedly followed.

Entering the palace, the first thing that caught my eye was the huge transparent cube in the center of the hall, with a side length of at least 100 meters, like a crystal magic cube, suspended in the air.

Around the Rubik's Cube, countless elves in the form of fairies floated, carrying mini square crystals in their hands, busy around the Rubik's Cube, like bees building nests.

And right below the Rubik's Cube was a small throne, on which sat a palm-sized fairy.

The first time Mu You saw the fairy queen, he thought of the time fairy who lived in the pocket watch. The appearance of the time fairy and the fairies present was almost exactly the same.

"Long time no see, Vivian, have you finally figured it out and are you ready to come back to me?" The fairy queen on the throne spoke with an ambiguous smile. (End of this chapter)
