This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 705

  Mu You and Vivian continued to lead the way.

Lin Xue and Xiaoya were sitting behind them, discussing private matters in a low voice.

 “And then there's…”

 “I've seen this too…”

 Xiaoya was excitedly preparing to talk about her favorite TV plot. When she looked up, she found that Lin Xue had already looked away, looking steadily ahead.

"Why are not you talking?"

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

"Sister Xue, are you... worried?" Xiaoya said hesitantly.

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

"because…"

Xiaoya glanced at Mu You in front of her, then looked at her again, wondering 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 startled.

　　Since she woke up from the dream, she has indeed been paying attention to Mu You consciously or unconsciously.

She thought the experience in the dream was just a trivial matter that should not be taken seriously, and Mu You had probably forgotten all about it, otherwise he would have recognized her when he met her before.

Since the other party has forgotten the dream, she naturally doesn't need to care about it.

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

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

Lin Xue subconsciously pretended to be dumbfounded and passed by. When Mu You diverted her attention, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

Driven by this strange feeling, she couldn't help but start reading Mu You's heart over and over again. She was obviously afraid that he would remember it, but she seemed to be expecting him to remember it...

 The two contradictory states of mind caused her mental concentration to begin to decline rapidly, she lost her usual calmness, and became easily distracted.

The reason why she was avoiding Mu You was because from just now, once their eyes collided, her heartbeat would speed up involuntarily, and her facial temperature would also rise uncontrollably, so she could only avoid it carefully. Keep him close to him so as not to lose his composure.

Lin Xue thought she had hidden it well, but until this moment, she realized that what she had done seemed to be a little too obvious, and instead let everyone see what she was thinking.

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

Their eyes naturally met, but this time Lin Xue had no time to escape. She felt her heart skip a beat, and the temperature on her cheeks began to rise rapidly again.

Lin Xue wanted to turn away in panic, but fortunately, time jumped again.

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

Lin Xue actually felt relieved.

She was not in a hurry to go 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 mind.

 A few seconds later, she opened her eyes, and her eyes and face had returned to normal.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xue got ready and adjusted the clock hands.

 The surrounding scene changed quietly.

 However, the three figures did not appear.

The sky seems to have become a little darker, and the number of watchmakers nearby, which were originally few, suddenly became quite dense.

The dense crowd of clockworkers carrying goods passed by her numbly and did not deliberately avoid her position.

Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, then realized something quickly and hurriedly looked at the clock.

 Sure enough, the time is wrong.

It's not the clock's problem, but her own problem: she actually had the hour and minute hands reversed...

Her initial time should have been 7:05, but just now she reversed the minute and hour hands and adjusted the time to 1:35. The time spanned more than six hours...

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

Without any time to think, she quickly turned the pointer back and pressed the **** again.

However, time did not jump back directly, she still stayed in this timeline.

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

  If it is within an hour, this interval will be very short, only a few seconds, almost imperceptible, and then increase in proportion. Once it jumps to more than five hours, the cooling time will be greatly extended.

 And she had just jumped for more than six hours, and it would probably take at least ten minutes before she could jump again.

If it were just like this, Lin Xue wouldn't be too worried. The worst he could do was delay here for more than ten minutes. As long as he still remembered the original time, he could go back.

But at that moment, a clockmaker dragging a truck passed from behind and hit her with his back, hitting her on the elbow.

Lin Xue was fine, but the clock in her hand was knocked out of her hand, and accidentally landed at the feet of another clockmaker. It was kicked out by the other person, and rolled across most of the street with a bang. , hit the far wall.

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

Lin Xue felt that she instantly became the focus of everyone.

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

Lin Xue hesitated for a moment.

Vivian has warned you not to communicate with these clock people, and it is best to ignore them no matter what they do.

 However, her clock is still in the other party's hands. If she does not 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 I turned the clock over and looked at it, I 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 a bad premonition flashed through her.

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. When 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 still not be able to return to the original time.

Moreover, the watchmakers around her couldn't possibly give her time to try slowly.

The clock maker just now was overjoyed when he saw Lin Xue taking the clock. He hurriedly got back his goods, ran back to Lin Xue, held them in his hands, and wanted to hand the goods to her as well. Through mind reading, Lin Xue clearly understood the clockman's meaning: the other person did not want to send her goods, but was too tired and wanted her to do the work for a minute, so he took the opportunity to take a rest.

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

The clockmaker looked at her retreating back in astonishment, changing from dullness to disappointment to anger.

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.

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 towards Lin Xue crazily.

Seeing that more and more soldiers were pursuing him 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 Divine 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 have no choice but to feel 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 originally extremely crazy watchmakers 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 came and left just as quickly. 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 didn't come back for more than a minute after disappearing, so they knew something must have happened.

Mu You used backtracking and time jumps, and jumped tens of thousands of times in the ten-hour timeline before finally finding the timeline she was in.

Lin Xue was caught by Mu You this time 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 mess inside her heart, and the things she did began to be messy. A series of misunderstandings almost drove her to a dead end...

"Nothing, but...are you okay?" Mu You looked at her worriedly.

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

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

"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 escaping 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 conveniently, 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's face looked a little strange. Lin Xue was really abnormal today, but at this time he didn't ask any more questions, took out the clock and set the time.

The surrounding scenes jumped, and the two of them returned to the previous timeline.

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

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

“It was just an accident, don't worry about it.” Vivian flew to her shoulder.

“That's right, I've made mistakes several times.” Xiaoya also walked quickly to Lin Xue, 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. She was the only one holding her back with her random thoughts. She really shouldn't...

 After a brief interlude, Lin Xue found a new clock nearby, recorded the time, and everyone continued on their way.

 After hurriedly walking down the road, the three of them 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 ahead.

 In front of the palace gate, densely packed time guards patrolled in formation.

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

“The Time Palace is currently closed to outsiders, please leave immediately!”

Perhaps due to Mu You's status as an administrator, the time guards did not directly drive him away, but gave him a warning first.

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

 “The Queen is resting and will not see guests. You should go!”

 “Let them in.”

 From the depths of the palace behind, a female voice suddenly came out.

 Several smoke beasts looked at each other and then got out of the way.

Vivian didn't seem to have any surprises. She spread her wings and flew into the palace, and the three of them hurriedly followed.

The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the palace is the huge transparent cube in the center of the hall, with a side length of at least a hundred meters, like a crystal Rubik's Cube, suspended in mid-air.

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

Just below the Rubik's Cube is a small throne, with a palm-sized goblin sitting on the throne.

The first time Mu You saw this Fairy Queen, he thought of the Time Fairy residing in the pocket watch. The Time Fairy looked almost exactly the same as the fairies present.

“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 chapter)
