This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

 The family took action.

Lin Xue looked through all the photos in the pet shop, looking for those scenes they had captured together.

However, in all the photos and videos where Mu You was supposed to appear, his figure disappeared as if he had evaporated from the world. Others and the surrounding scenery were slightly adjusted to perfectly replace his position in the photos. No difference can be seen.

The traces on the items disappeared seamlessly, and Lin Xue had no choice but to look for people. She found Fuya and Gargamel in the star spirit world, and Mu You’s colleagues in the Alien Bureau, members of the association, etc. on the earth...

From dusk to morning, then noon, afternoon...until the whole day passed, several people asked almost all Mu You's acquaintances, but still found nothing.

 Now everyone was in despair.

Only Lin Xue is still looking for him. If he has asked all his acquaintances, he will ask passers-by.

Lin Xue caught passers-by on the street and asked them if they had heard of the name Mu You. She seemed to be going crazy, going from a hundred to a thousand, then to tens of thousands...until the nearby passers-by regarded her as a lunatic. , still no one responded to her.

 The answers are all “I don’t know” and “I don’t know”.

 Finally, at dusk that day, Lin Xue sat down slumped on a park bench near her home, her eyes blank. Many onlookers were pointing at her.

“Who are you...Why can’t I remember...Obviously...you are someone who must never be forgotten...Why...I..."

Although in the first few days, she could still feel empty in her heart, but with the company of Xiaoya, Lu Yao and others, she finally let go of her worries, became cheerful again, and finally slowly forgot about this incident. Things have returned to normal life.

Lu Yao cursed a few passers-by on the street who were watching the excitement and had malicious intentions, and dispersed the crowd. Then she walked to Lin Xue and looked at her worriedly: "Xiaoxue, you...are you okay?"

"Hey...you...why are you here...and why am I here..." Lin Xue looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, her eyes blank, and she couldn't remember how she got here.

Lin Xue looked at the few people blankly. It was clear that they were still in pain just now, but looking at the smiles on their faces, it felt like the unhappiness had gradually disappeared with the wind.

“Sister Xue, are you okay?”

Lin Xue held her dizzy head. Although she was in pain, she still tried her best to remember, and finally called out the name again.

 “Yes, Mu You! It’s Mu You!”

 A month passed in a flash...

Lin Xue finally reacted and suddenly turned to look at Lin Hai and said angrily: "Why did you forget it again? He is also a very important person to you. It turns out that you admire him so much. At least remember his name. He Called Mu…Mu…”

 …

"What are you looking at! Get out of here..."

"Call…"

Lin Xue was still a little confused, but under the worried eyes of everyone, she could only nod her head and squeeze out a smile: "Well, okay..."

Lin Xue knelt down on the ground sluggishly, and tears finally began to fall in large drops, falling on the soil on the ground, and soon wet a large area.

 Mianmian nodded her chin and said, "It must be a nightmare, right? I often sleepwalk like this when I have nightmares."

Lin Xue suddenly paused as she spoke, because she was shocked to find that she could not remember the next word of his name.

 For Lin Xue, the following days seemed to be uneventful.

 “Mu…mu…muyou!”

Feeling that new memories were still pouring into her mind, Lin Xue couldn't help but shed tears. She hurriedly wiped them away, gritted her teeth, and started repeating them on the spot.

"No problem. The person I remember and who must never be forgotten is Mu You! Mu You! Mu You! Even if everyone forgets you, I will never forget you. The most important person to me is... "

Lin Xue suddenly stopped.

Xiaoya also stepped forward at this time, held Lin Xue's hand and said sadly: "You must be under too much pressure during this period. Sister Xue, we will not be open for the next few days. We will wait until you recover."

Xiaoya, Lin Hai, Lu Yao and other relatives and friends hurried over. Today they have been following Lin Xue because they could not stop her, so they could only keep following.

Xiaoya helped Lin Xue up, and they walked toward the pet shop together.

Her body began to tremble violently, but she could not remember the name.

“…As for the person you mentioned, let’s ask more people to help you find him tomorrow, okay? That person, that…well, what’s his name?”

 “Sister Xue!”

 “Xiao Xue!”

 “Muyou, Muyou, Muyou…”

"what's your name?"

Lin Xue didn't answer, just sat on the bench in a daze. This position is the one she and Mu You visit most often in Zhijie.

“Sister... let’s go back first. No matter what happens, we’ll find it tomorrow, okay?”

“I am the last person in the world who remembers him. My memory is the last thing he left in this world. What if I forget him?”

Just when Lin Xue was in agony, someone suddenly held her shoulder. She turned around in shock. Behind her, Xiaoya and others looked at her with smiles on their faces.

"Um…"

"You also said that just now everyone was gathering together to chat, but you suddenly ran out shouting and startled us all. Didn't we all come to you quickly?" Lu Yao turned around Roll your eyes.

Lin Hai looked at Lin Xue with the same concern. At this moment, Lin Xue's eyes were dull, as if he had lost all his energy and spirit all at once, which made him anxious.

"Ah, is it...that's it? Sorry, I can't remember..." Lin Xue murmured in astonishment.

“Xiaoxue, what are you doing here? Go home and eat, I’m waiting for you!”

 “Okay, as long as you’re okay, let’s go, let’s go home…”

In the kitchen at night, after Lin Xue finished her day's work, she turned on the coffee machine and made a cup of coffee skillfully. Then she took another cup and turned around with a smile and handed it to the side: "Here, it's yours."

However, the imaginary response did not come out. When she turned around, there was nothing around her.

Lin Xue paused, her hand holding the cup hovering in the air, feeling lost in her heart.

 I don’t know why, but she always feels that there should be someone by her side at this moment...

Just at this time, Lu Yao passed by the kitchen door with a towel on her head. When she saw Lin Xue's hand holding up the cup, she was stunned: "Huh? For me?"

 “Hmm…” Lin Xue felt embarrassed and had no choice but to nod.

"Thanks! I'm really thirsty." Lu Yao grinned, took the cup, raised her head and took a sip.

After drinking, Lu Yao suddenly asked: "By the way, Xiaoxue, have you remembered what happened that day?"

 “What happened that day? What happened?”

“It was that afternoon when you ran out crying.”

 “That day…”

Lin Xue thought for a while, shook her head and said, "My memory of that day is a bit fuzzy. I can't remember it. Why, did I say something that day?"

“Not really. In fact, I don’t remember it clearly. I just vaguely remember that you seemed to have been looking for someone or something, and you were very anxious..."

"Is it…"

Lin Xue frowned slightly and was about to continue asking.

 When he looked up, he saw Lu Yao standing motionless in front of him.

At first, Lin Xue thought she was playing some kind of wooden game, but soon realized something was wrong. The liquid splashed from the edge of the cup in Lu Yao's hand actually hung in the air with her.

More than that, the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet at this moment, and all the noise disappeared without a trace, leaving only her own breathing and heartbeat.

Lin Xue was stunned for a moment. In a daze, she saw a blue butterfly, flapping its wings, quietly floating past the door, passing her, and flying to the window, but when it was about to approach the window , suddenly disappeared.

 The originally static world also resumed operation with the disappearance of the butterfly.

“Forget it, tomorrow is the weekend, it’s time to think about where to go…” Lu Yao’s hearty laughter continued.

Lin Xue was still staring at the place where the blue butterfly disappeared, her eyes blank.

 “What’s wrong, Xiaoxue?” Lu Yao noticed something strange about her.

 “Nothing…probably an illusion…”

 …

 At night, Lin Xue was lying on the bed. Her body after a tiring day reminded her that she should fall asleep as soon as possible, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The scene of the blue butterfly fluttering in the evening kept replaying in her mind.

 An inexplicable feeling of panic hovered in her heart, as if it was reminding her of something.

Lin Xue couldn't sleep anyway, so she had to get up and take some sleeping pills.

 Lying down again, sleepiness finally came over me under the influence of the medicine.

Lin Xue gradually fell into a light sleep...

Drowningly, Lin Xue felt as if she had arrived somewhere.

This is a desolate world, with yellow sand all over the sky, and no plants or animals can be seen. Everything as far as the eye can see is sand and soil blown up by the wind.

Lin Xue was wearing thin clothes and stepped on the ground here with bare feet. It should have been very painful to step on such ground, but Lin Xue didn't seem to feel anything. She walked step by step without feeling any discomfort. The people around her The violent wind could not reach her.

In this world that seems to have no borders, everything as far as the eye can see is endless yellow sand, like a real desert.

 Fortunately, this scenery did not last forever. After walking for a long time, Lin Xue finally saw a scenery beyond the sand.

 It was a mountain made purely of stones, with a height of almost hundreds of meters.

Lin Xue walked over curiously, looked up from a distance, and found a vague figure on the top of the stone mountain.

In such a lonely environment, Lin Xue unconsciously moved her steps, using her hands and feet together, and climbed up the stone mountain with great effort.

 Soon, Lin Xue reached the top of the mountain.

Getting closer, she could finally see clearly the figure on the top of the mountain: he was a man in rags, with an unshaven face and hair that had grown to his waist.

 The man lowered his head, and the hair hanging down from his forehead slightly obscured his face, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

At this time, the man is holding a handful of sand in his hand and keeps pressing it. After it is compacted, he will grab another handful from the side, cover it with the compacted sand again, and then continue to press.

At this time, the man seemed to have noticed Lin Xue. He paused slightly and looked up.

 As he raised his head, Lin Xue finally had the chance to see his face clearly.

It was a weather-beaten face. The cheeks seemed to have been damaged countless times by the strong winds here, and were covered with large and small cracks. The original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

However, when Lin Xue saw this face, she felt extremely familiar, as if she had seen this person more than once in the depths of her memory.

The man had been looking at Lin Xue blankly, but there was no sparkle in his eyes, just like an empty shell with his soul hollowed out.

Lin Xue couldn't help but tilted her head and asked, "Who are you? What...are you doing here?"

This time the man finally reacted. He looked at Lin Xue's face. His chapped, petrified lips wriggled hard, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat.

"who I am?"

The man couldn't help but look down at the sand in his hand.

After a while, until Lin Xue was a little impatient with the waiting, she continued to speak: "...I...don't know..."

"have no idea?"

Lin Xue frowned and asked, "Then, when did you come here and why did you come here?"

The man stared straight at Lin Xue, and then said after a while: "I don't remember how long I have been here, including my identity, name... I don't remember anything... I only remember that I was waiting for someone..."

 “Who are you waiting for?”

"...I forgot, but I still remembered it a long time ago. It was a very important person to me. I read that name every day, afraid that I would forget... However, the time here is too long, so long that I can't remember it. My memories gradually disappeared in infinite time... In the end, I couldn't even remember who I was, and this person's name also disappeared in time..."

 “Oh? How long is it?”

"how long…"

The man couldn't help but look at the rocky mountain at his feet.

“…In this world, a city of ruins will be generated every year. When I destroy all the dilapidated cities, the city of ruins will turn into a grain of sand…This is how all the sand in this world comes from…”

Lin Xue covered her mouth in surprise. If each grain of sand represents a year, how much sand is there here?

 I’m afraid it’s in the hundreds of millions…

 After such a long time, it is no wonder that his memory has completely disappeared.

“Then, what are you doing now?” Lin Xue asked, looking at the sand in his hand.

"this one…"

 The man lowered his head and glanced at the sand.

“I want to leave here, but I can’t find the exit, because this place is endless. The only exit I can think of is..."

The man said and pointed at the sky with his finger.

“So, I will condense the sand into stone, and then use the stones to pile up an infinitely high mountain, and try to see if I can escape...”

"Ah? How is it possible to do that kind of thing... How long are you going to pile it up so high in the sky? Why are you so stupid? Why don't you think of other ways?" Lin Xue felt the same for a moment and became anxious for him.

“Because…there is nothing here, only sand, we can only use sand…”

Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, there was really nothing else she could do in this situation.

 The man suddenly looked at Lin Xue: "Who are you? Why...are you here?"

"I?"

Lin Xue shook her head in confusion: "Who am I...I don't remember either..."

"…Let's go back."

The man sighed, ignored Lin Xue, and continued to sit on the top of the mountain, squeezing his sand: "...This is not the place you should come."

"but…"

Lin Xue couldn't help but stretched out her hand. For some reason, looking at the man's vicissitudes of life, she always felt a little distressed.

 “I always feel like I’ve seen you before!”

This sentence finally made the man freeze for a moment, and he slowly raised his head again.

"You ever met me?"

 “Well, really, absolutely! I must have seen you!”

The more Lin Xue looked at that face, the more familiar it became. The memories that had been sealed in the depths of her mind were pouring out bit by bit. She couldn't help but excitedly said: "Although I can't remember the specific details, but in the distance, We must have met in the past... Then, I... I seem to have been looking for someone, someone who is very important to me... Please tell me, is that person you? "

The man looked at Lin Xue blankly and shook his head: "I don't know... I don't even know my own name, how can I know these things... Since you said you have seen me, then, can you tell me my name? "

 "Name? Yes, name...the most important name is..."

Lin Xue hurriedly covered her head and frantically searched for memories.

 But at this time, she felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, and finally she floated directly from the ground like a balloon.

"ah!"

Lin Xue was startled, and subconsciously reached out to grab the man on the ground, but she was rising faster and faster, so she missed the opportunity.

 Realizing that she was destined to leave here, Lin Xue couldn't care less about struggling. Below, the man was still looking at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

Lin Xue hurriedly continued to think about it, racking her brains to recall those familiar scenes.

 “Name…your name is…is…”

Lin Xue groaned as a sharp pain hit her and covered her head. She felt that her mind was cloudy and all kinds of confusing memories came to her, making her almost collapse.

“Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer and you’ll be able to remember...that name, that...the most important name to me...your name...is...”

Lin Xue flew higher and higher, and soon no one on the ground could be seen.

 “Your name is Mu…Mu…”

 “Muyou!”

Lin Xue suddenly sat up from the bed, her whole body soaked in cold sweat... (End of this chapter)
