This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 735

 “Three days…”

Looking at Lin Xue's firm gaze, Mu You hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Yes, but you must always be in my sight this time." Lin Xue's current state may disappear quietly at any time, so he must be by her side at all times to feel at ease.

 “Okay. I agree.”

 For the next three days, Lin Xue was still in bed recuperating, and Mu You stayed with her as usual, but this time he didn't bother her anymore, letting her adjust on her own.

 For three days, Lin Xue was basically in a state of half-asleep and half-awake. Sometimes her brows would suddenly frown, and sometimes she would smile inexplicably. Her state was uncertain.

Three days later, Lin Xue opened her eyes again. Her complexion was indeed much better, and she could get out of bed and walk around normally.

Mu You was worried at first whether she was holding on, but after observing her for a long time, she didn't notice anything strange at all. It seemed that she had really adjusted back to normal.

 “Is everything okay?” Mu You was still a little worried.

 “The only thing that is certain is that I can no longer live without you in my life.”

"In the past few days, I have been asking myself a question repeatedly: If one day, we encounter some kind of unsolvable dilemma, I have to choose between you and the child in order to let one of you survive. , what will I choose then?" Lin Xue said.

Lin Xue lay in Mu You's arms, listening to his heartbeat quietly, and suddenly asked: "Mu You, do you love me?"

 Two years…

　　If it was a thousand years ago, he would have nodded and said love without hesitation, but now, he feels that the weight of this word is too shallow to describe their current relationship.

 In the blink of an eye, it was already the 1784th year that the two of them entered the time cage.

Mu You was also aroused by her sudden appearance and picked her up by the waist.

 After a night of lingering, Lin Xue lay in Mu You's arms, drawing circles around his chest with her fingers, looking at him with a smile: "Do you believe it now?"

A thousand years…

The importance of a child to his mother is self-evident. It is the flesh and blood that has truly fallen from his own body, but she was forced to make such a cruel choice as a mother, and finally chose him... Mu You didn't know what to do. Repay her affection.

 Mu You looked at Lin Xue with some distress.

Lin Xue smiled and didn't answer. She just wrapped her arms around his neck, tiptoed to peck his lips, and then looked at him with charming eyes. The meaning was very clear: no matter how much you say, it will be pale, you can do it yourself. Feel.

“For three days, I have been thinking about this problem non-stop, putting aside all the shackles of hypocrisy and self-concealment, thinking about the real result hidden in my heart... and finally, I got the answer..."

 “Between you and the child, I choose you, you are the one who is more important to me.”

  One year…

 Mu You sometimes even felt that he and Lin Xue had actually skipped the relationship between husband and wife and entered some kind of new stage.

 However, no matter how good the times are, they must eventually come to an end.

Lin Xue's answer was just one sentence: “Because, I figured it out.”

The daily life of the two of them is like a clear spring, full of tranquility that flows slowly.

“I don't know…” Mu You shook his head.

This thousand years is an extremely unremarkable one, but it is also a thousand years when the relationship between the two people truly sublimates.

The setback a thousand years ago almost interrupted their journey. Fortunately, they survived, and the setback was not completely useless. The relationship between the two seemed to have been tempered in that crisis, leading to The next thousand years went by quite smoothly.

“How did you adjust it?” Mu You asked.

When the passion fades and the luster is washed away, the love between the two gradually becomes restrained, subtle, but purer, like an aged wine, the more you taste it, the better it becomes.

 “Think through what?”

 The ordinary days continued, Lin Xue never mentioned the child again, and the two returned to their previous lives, and time passed quickly as the dates and numbers in the notepad continued to accumulate.

You must know that psychological problems are much more difficult to deal with than real illnesses. A mental illness that almost caused her mental breakdown a few days ago was actually managed by her in just three days. Mu You was curious about how she managed Did it.

This thousand years is like a certain node. When the passion dissipates, emptiness and dullness hit the two of them.

Over the past one thousand years, the two of them have tried everything they can think of to keep it as fresh as possible. Now it is difficult to find new things to stimulate their tired souls.

a hundred years…

"And because of this, our children don't need to worry anymore, because the divine power of the God of Death will only take away the person I care about most. I'm pretty sure that person is you, so nothing will happen to our children."

"Me too…"

Lin Xue looked at Mu You: "It's you."

 Ten years…

"Um…"

Mu You can be sure that Lin Xue has really recovered, and has returned to his previous healthy state from the inside out. The smile now is no longer the same as before, the kind of smile that hides one's thoughts, but the smile that truly unties the knot in one's heart and feels relaxed after being relieved.

 The Time Cage also began to truly exert its power at this time.

 The two of them finally realized what Vivian was feeling at the beginning, the boring feeling that life was worse than death. The key was that this boringness did not rise gently, but grew exponentially as the years went by.

The two people naturally began to live together more frequently, from once a month, to once a week, to once every three days, once every two days, once a day...

There is no way, at this stage, apart from love, there is nothing else that can interest them. Many things that used to help them kill a lot of time have now reached the point where they will feel nauseated if they touch it even once. It will be counterproductive.

Even Mu You began to feel visibly uncomfortable, but he never showed it because he knew that Lin Xue was in a worse state than him.

Before entering this place, Mu You had already adapted to the days that passed by countless times. Those experiences were not in vain, silently forging his mind as tough as iron.

But Lin Xue did not have such an opportunity. This was the first time that she had experienced such a long period of time. Mu You admired her for being able to persist to this point.

Since there was really nothing to do, the two of them often fell into a state of trance, relying on each other, sitting on a park bench in a daze, and their minds wandered to the sky for most of the day at a time.

 Needless to say it clearly, both of them knew that this was a sign that their mental state was on the verge of reaching its limit.

Even so, neither of them gave up easily, and continued to think of ways to stay in this world of cessation, sinking, falling, and drifting into nothingness...

I do not know how long it has been. Gradually, even the feeling of love began to disappear.

 An indescribable feeling of emptiness grew in the hearts of both of them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that I was the one holding back... Maybe it would have been better to let Xiaoya come in with you..." In front of the study window, Lin Xue leaned in front of Mu You a little sickly, with her ear close to him. Her chest, listening to the powerful heartbeat, was the only way to make her feel that she was still alive.

Mu You shook his head and said with relief: "What are you talking about? The time we have persisted here is already a length that has never been reached by anyone in history. No one can do it better than you."

Lin Xue smiled, moved closer, put her entire weight on him, and said feebly: "How many years has it been now?"

Long time ago, Lin Xue had already entered a stage of suffering where days seemed like years. In this state, frequent attention time would only increase her mental burden.

 So Mu You took the initiative to record the time, while Lin Xue rarely paid attention to the date. She would only ask him occasionally when she felt that the time was out of order.

  “4107 years.”

Mu You stroked the side of Lin Xue's face and comforted her softly: "We have passed four-fifths of the journey, and only the last short stretch is left. If we persist, the hard days will soon be over."

Lin Xue shook her head bitterly: "Liar."

 “Huh?” Mu You tried to play dumb.

“You idiot, when you lie, the corners of your eyebrows will turn downward unconsciously.” Lin Xue said with a smile.

"Really?" Mu You subconsciously touched his eyebrows. He really didn't know this, and joked: "Then I'll be careful next time and try not to be noticed by you."

Lin Xue turned her head with difficulty at this time, looked through the window sill at a faucet in the park below, and suddenly said: "It should be 2107 now, right?"

“Oh? So you remember the time?” Mu You was a little surprised.

Lin Xue shook his head and looked at the drop of water suspended under the faucet: "The objects in this world are not completely stationary, they are just moved infinitely slowly. This drop of water began to fall around the year 1700. According to the The height it has fallen to over the years, and the ratio of one second here to 1,000 years, the current time should be around 2100. Adding the number you just mentioned, it is probably 2107..."

"Sometimes, I really wish you could be a little stupid..." Mu You smiled helplessly. It was indeed not that easy to hide it from her, and he guessed the year exactly.

Lin Xue showed a proud smile, but she didn't feel any happiness in her heart. Instead, she was full of bitterness, because this was a number that made her despair: she had reached her limit, her real limit, but they didn't even have half the time. Can spend...

 The time cage lives up to its name.

"Muyou, I might not be able to survive..."

Lin Xue suddenly grabbed Mu You's hand and begged: "How about we leave together... As for the digestion of divine power, we will think of other ways after we leave..."

Mu You smiled and said, "Just go out first. Don't worry, I can finish the rest of the time."

This is not that Mu You is boasting about Haikou, but he is really confident.

He is different now than he was at the beginning. Now he has a true love and a responsibility. Just the belief that "Lin Xue is waiting for him outside" is enough to support him to finish the rest of the journey.

Lin Xue sighed: "Forget it, I will continue to accompany you."

She knows that Mu You has a strong endurance for time, much stronger than her, but she doesn't dare to take risks. Mu You is too important to her, and she will go crazy if she loses him.

"Xiaoxue, actually you don't have to..." Mu You hesitated and wanted to persuade.

Lin Xue immediately shook her head to interrupt him, held his hand tightly and said seriously: "Promise me, Mu You, not to make any sudden attacks, otherwise I will really hate you!"

"Even if one day I really can't hold it any longer and want to leave, you can only do it with my consent!"

“Well, I promise this.” Mu You kissed Lin Xue and gave her a reassuring look.

Lin Xue stared at his eyes for a long time to make sure he was not lying. Then she gradually felt relieved, but her eyelids began to fight: "I'm a little sleepy..."

 “Then go to sleep, the most important thing we lack is time…”

Amidst the comforting voice of her sweetheart and under the warm sunshine, Lin Xue felt tired and couldn't help but close her eyes.

Lin Xue suddenly woke up with a feeling of heart palpitations, and what caught her eyes was Mu You's raised palm.

"Wait! Mu You, don't... you promised me..."

Lin Xue instantly understood what was happening and subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop it.

 It's a pity that it's too late.

 “Xiaoxue, it's time for you to leave…”

Accompanied by this elongated voice, Mu You's hand covered Lin Xue's chest.

A strong feeling of falling suddenly hit her. Lin Xue felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. A large number of things around her turned into distorted time and space afterimages and kept passing by her.

Lin Xue suddenly woke up, opened her eyes, and found herself lying on the floor. She saw a familiar study room. The layout of the scene was almost the same as the room she was in just now, but there were many subtle changes.

The noise downstairs, the chirping of insects and birds outside the window, and the roar of cars came one after another. These normal daily noises were like thunder to her, who had just stayed in the realm of silence for two thousand years. The explosion.

Lin Xue groaned, subconsciously covering her ears, trying to adapt to the new environment, and stumbled towards the window.

As expected, the wind outside the window was blowing the leaves, and birds were flying by. The long-lost breeze blew against the face, and it was unusually refreshing. Lin Xue's almost frozen consciousness seemed to be baptized, and it was quickly rejuvenated.

 She finally returned to the real world!

 The feeling of excitement did not last for even half a second, and was followed by a sense of panic and confusion: But why did she go back to the pet shop directly? She was expelled from the Realm by Mu You. Shouldn't she have appeared in the Heart of Time first?

 Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Sister Xue? Are you okay? Why do I seem to hear the sound of you falling?"

 A familiar voice came, it was Xiaoya!

Lin Xue rushed to the door and opened it.

As expected, Xiaoya was standing at the door. She was startled when she looked at her: "What happened? Sister Xue, you look so bad..."

Lin Xue didn't care about this, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked: "Xiaoya, it was you who brought my heart of time back? How long have I been asleep?"

“Where is Mu You? And Teacher Vivian, where are they now?” Lin Xue asked anxiously.

However, Xiaoya's answer made her a little desperate.

“Muyou? Teacher Vivian? Heart of Time? Sister Xue, what are you talking about? Is he a character in the game?”

Looking at the confusion on Xiaoya's face, Lin Xue froze on the spot, and an extremely ominous premonition rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Stop joking! I mean 'Muyou', your boss is also the owner of this pet shop!" Lin Xue held Xiaoya's arm tightly and asked with a trembling voice.

Xiaoya was pinched so hard by her that she looked at Lin Xue with both grievance and worry: "Sister Xue, have you forgotten? The owner of this pet shop... I have always been myself..." (End of Chapter)
