This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

“Xiaoya, stand up, I’ll take you somewhere.” Mu You suddenly said to the girl.

The girl raised her head in confusion. Before she could realize what Mu You meant, she felt she was picked up by him and put on his back.

 “Hurry up.”

Mu You carried the little **** his back, and a magic broom appeared in his hand. Holding the broom with one hand, the air flow surged, and the two of them rose up from the ground with a force of lift, and rushed high into the sky.

"ah…"

The girl screamed in surprise. Seeing that the distance from the ground was getting higher and higher, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged Mu You tightly.

Mu You just sprinted all the way with her, and soon reached the edge of the mountain.

The area on the other side of the mountain was dark, with no scenery or even any light. It was like a **** under the Nine Netherworld. Because that was an area that Xiaoya had never set foot in, she could not represent the scene outside the mountain in her dream. Up to here It is the edge of this dreamland, and beyond that there is only nothingness.

Mu You, however, controlled the broom without hesitation and rushed towards the void of darkness.

Seeing that she was about to be swallowed up by darkness, Xiaoya closed her eyes nervously.

 But the pain she imagined did not come. Instead, a dazzling light shone on her eyelids.

The refreshing wind blew past her. Xiaoya carefully opened her eyes, and a burst of brilliant colored lights came from below.

What appeared in front of her was a bustling city night scene.

It is still late at night, but the whole city is brightly lit, high-rise buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, the streets are busy with traffic, people are coming and going, and it is very lively. Countless neon lights are shining with colorful light, decorating the whole city like a fairyland.

The little girl's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide. She had lived in the mountains for many years and had never seen such a prosperous scene. She was shocked beyond words.

 “Brother, is this the fairy world?”

 “No, this is a city.”

 “The city...this is the city...” the little girl murmured, somewhat unbelievable.

“Yes, it’s right behind that big mountain, separated by a mountain.” Mu Youyou said.

Of course, he didn't really take Xiaoya to fly to the city. After all, this was Xiaoya's dream. All the scenes were generated by her cognition, and her world was already trapped in that mountain. Even Mu You , and cannot take her to places other than the mountains.

They are actually still on the mountain at this moment, and what they see in front of them is just an illusion forcibly created by Mu You using magic.

A lot of novel things came into her mind. The little girl was fascinated by them for a while, and a look of yearning appeared on her face.

"Like it?"

"Um…"

"Then, when you are able, you must leave the mountain as soon as possible."

"Leave? But..." The little girl looked at the bustling night scene below and swallowed. Although she was longing for it, her eyes also flashed with deep self-esteem: "Can a person like me survive in the city?"

 “What’s wrong?”

"My family members say that I am stupid and can't learn anything. I always come last in exams and am clumsy at doing things. People like me are destined to live in the mountains all their lives. If I leave them, I can't even survive a day." I can’t go down..." the little girl said worriedly.

Mu You sighed. From her words, you can imagine what kind of virtue her family usually has...

“Then what will you do?” Mu You asked again.

“I can only raise pigs, chickens, cattle, and herd sheep...” The girl stretched out her fingers and counted them carefully one by one. After thinking about it for a long time, all she really knew how to do was raise animals.

“Yes, this is your talent.” Mu You smiled.

"Is this considered a talent?" Xiaoya couldn't believe it. It seemed like anyone could do these things. She just felt safer and more comfortable when getting along with animals.

"This is a very powerful talent, a talent that will make countless people envious and jealous in the future." Mu You said seriously.

"real?"

 There was some surprise on the little girl's face, but more of it was doubt.

 “I’ll take you somewhere else.”

Mu You didn’t explain too much, but took her directly to the ground.

Soon the two landed again, and the scene in front of them changed, and they appeared in a pet shop.

It was a perfect spring day, and several customers poured into the store. A girl with a ponytail and an apron, with an infectious smile, skillfully introduced various small animals to the customers.

“Brother, this person seems to me...”

 The little girl hid behind Mu You, looking at the ponytail girl in the distance, and suddenly felt a very strange feeling.

 She seems to have seen this person before...

“We are in the future now, and the person in front of us is you in the future.” Mu You smiled.

Of course, this scene is also an illusion created by him, but compared to the city night scene just now, this scene is much easier to construct now, because this is the scene he has seen almost every day in the past few years, and every detail is It has been deeply imprinted in his heart.

"This is...me?" The little girl stared blankly at Xiaoya in the distance. She really didn't dare to connect this big sister, who was shining with confidence, with her, the ugly duckling. Together…

Mu You nodded.

People's dreams will dissipate quickly. Even the most impressive dreams will soon forget most of the details after waking up.

 In this case, it is better to give her more impact at once and make her as impressed as possible.

Of course, the result of forcibly inserting memories that do not belong to the dream owner into the dream is that the dream will collapse faster.

At this time, there are already some signs of collapse on the edge of the dream.

“Xiaoya, keep this scene in mind and engrave it in your mind.”

“Whenever you feel pain or hopelessness in the future, think of this scene.”

 “Well, I’ll remember that…”

The little girl nodded subconsciously, turned back to look at Mu You, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and smiled at him: "Thank you, big brother! Today is the happiest day in my life!"

 Under the continuous impact of emotions, she gradually realized that she was dreaming, and the dream began to collapse rapidly. Mu You could not continue to maintain the magic, and the bright scene disappeared in a burst of distortion.

The two of them returned to the dark mountain forest again. The mountain was shaking violently, the earth was shaking, mudslides were rolling down, and the world was like a broken mirror, turning into scattered pieces.

"Brother, are you leaving?" The little girl found that Mu You's body also began to collapse, turning into specks of light and dust and disappearing, and she was extremely reluctant to leave.

“Yes, it seems your wish has come true...” Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. From the girl’s smile just now, he knew that the seeds of hope had been successfully planted.

 “Brother, can I still see you?”

 The white light peeled off, and the two were separated and quickly moved away from each other. The little girl shouted at the end.

"Will do…"

 “In the near future…”

Mu You has been completely engulfed by the white light and disappeared, leaving only a sound, which was carried by the wind in the distance.

 …

 “Poof!”

On the empty street, Lin Xue chopped up a pixel dinosaur with a knife. Just as he was about to continue moving forward, he felt something strange behind him. He stopped and frowned and looked behind him.

She saw the little boy approaching her at some point, squatting on the ground, gently poking her ankles with his fingers, and studying her stockings carefully...

"What are you doing?"

Lin Xue's displeased voice made the little boy tremble, and he quickly stood up and backed away, his face a little embarrassed.

“Ahem...sister, your pants are so strange...this is the first time I’ve seen this kind of material...”

Lin Xue casually harvested a charging monster, glanced at his feet, and then looked at the little boy: "What? Do you think it's ugly?"

“No, she’s very pretty and has a lot of temperament.” The little boy said hurriedly: “Our family runs a shop. I’ve seen many women dressed in fancy clothes, but none of them are as good-looking as you.”

Lin Xue's tense expression changed, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She could tell that this was the boy's true thoughts, not flattery, which made her very satisfied.

 But she quickly put away her smile and looked at the boy seriously: "In the future, don't touch girls' legs casually."

"Why?"

 “Easily beaten.”

"oh…"

The boy responded and followed him honestly, not acting like a monster.

Lin Xue also turned back and continued to clear the way, and the two fell silent for a while. But not far away, the little boy suddenly spoke again.

 “Sister, how old are you?”

　　…26.”

"Married?"

"without."

“Ah, no way, you’re 26 and still not married? When my mother was 26, I was already born.”

　　　…”

Lin Xue’s mouth twitched, and she silently thought to Tong Yan Wuji, and you little guy may not know it yet, but you will be single longer than me in the future...

"This is a matter for adults, and children should stay away from it." Lin Xue said casually without thinking about it.

 As a result, he suddenly paused just after he finished speaking.

Lin Xue frowned and looked at the empty street ahead. What's strange? Why did it suddenly disappear?

 In fact, as she walked along the way, she had already noticed that the number of monsters along the road was slowly decreasing. Until then, the monsters suddenly disappeared completely.

 Has he reached his subconscious destination?

Lin Xue glanced around, but did not find the girl he had a crush on around.

 That's strange. Logically speaking, the spawning of monsters shouldn't stop before meeting that girl...

 “Sister, that…”

Just as he was wondering, the little boy's voice sounded.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xue turned around and saw the little boy lowering the brim of his hat and rolling a boulder on the ground with his toes.

"Actually, I mean...if you really can't find anyone to marry you, you can wait a few more years...When I grow up, I can marry you...it's not impossible."

　　　　???”

Lin Xue was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what it meant.

 “Wait, wait…”

Lin Xue rubbed her eyebrows and quickly sorted out her thoughts in her mind.

What is this scenario?

In the short space of time, she had already read the subtle changes in the little boy's psychology. Coupled with the sudden disappearance of the monster on the street, the answer was actually ready to come out, but she couldn't believe it.

She was supposed to act as a bodyguard, escorting the 'prince' to find his 'princess'. But halfway through, the prince suddenly woke up and realized that the princess was too childish. A guard is true love?

Lin Xue had a headache when she saw the little boy's embarrassed but still serious look in his eyes.

Originally, all she had to do was lead him to find his crush, and everything would end smoothly. However, the boy's target quietly shifted to her. How should she deal with this unexpected development?

Lin Xue was not an indecisive person. Looking at the little boy's serious expression, he quickly made a decision.

 “I can’t marry you.” Lin Xue said seriously.

 “Why?” The little boy suddenly became nervous.

 “Because, I am actually not a human being.”

"ah?"

"look!"

Lin Xue directly summoned the skin of the **** of death on her body, wearing a skeleton and a windbreaker burning with the black flames of hell. In her opinion, it was already the most terrifying image, and it should be enough to scare the little boy: " You see, this is my true body! I am actually Hei Wuchang from hell... You should have heard of it!"

 The little boy was stunned for a moment and took a step back instinctively.

Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Children are really afraid of ghosts. Just when he was thinking that scaring him like this would be enough, he suddenly read the next thought in the little boy's mind.

Only three words: She is so handsome!

　　　…”

Lin Xue looked strange and added hurriedly: "What I mean is... I am a messenger from hell. If you marry me, you will be dragged to **** by me and never recover. Do you understand what I mean? Even so. , do you still insist?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, but suddenly laughed: "If that's the case, then..."

Lin Xue’s original plan was just to scare him, to get him to give up some hazy thoughts about himself, and to get the dream back on track.

 As a result, the little boy opened and closed his mouth and said something very simple, but one that Lin Xue would never forget.

Lin Xue froze on the spot, her consciousness a little divergent, and the divine skin on her body gradually dissipated without even noticing.

 After a long time, she came back to her senses at the boy's call.

Lin Xue looked at the little boy with complicated eyes.

"Sister, are you... okay?" The little boy looked at her worriedly, scratched his head, and suddenly showed a successful smile: "Haha, actually I was just joking, you can't take it seriously..."

 The boy was smiling, but the hint of disappointment in his eyes did not escape Lin Xue's mind reading.

Lin Xue looked at the boy steadily and suddenly walked towards him.

 “I actually don’t like children, really…but this time…”

 “…just think of it as a reward for what you just said…”

"Um?"

The little boy felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing against his face before he knew what it meant.

 Then, a soft red lip touched the side of his face.

 The edges of the dream began to collapse and shatter rapidly, and the fragmentation felt from far to near. In the blink of an eye, both of them were swallowed up by pure white...

 …

 Amidst the sound of the strong wind in the wilderness, Mu You slowly opened his eyes, stood up and looked.

 He was in a deserted grassland, and the Dream Forest that was originally in front of him now appeared behind him.

 A crow landed on the branch in front, and Vivian's voice came out: "Not bad, it seems that everything passed smoothly."

Mu You looked around and saw that Lin Xue and Xiaoya were lying on the grass nearby. They had all woken up, but they had a dazed look on their faces, as if they had not yet completely broken away from the dream.

　　After being stunned for a few seconds, Xiaoya suddenly looked towards him.

“Boss, I remembered! Is that the big brother in the dream you?”

Xiaoya quickly ran to Muyou's side, looking at him with some excitement and some anxiety.

"Yes." Mu You nodded without denying it, and smiled: "Has that dream helped you in these years?"

 “Hmm…well.”

Xiaoya nodded quickly, but her voice was choked with sobs. She wanted to hold it back, but when she heard Mu You's question, she couldn't hold back and suddenly started sobbing on Mu You's chest.

 “What’s wrong, aren’t all the sad days over...”

Mu You hurriedly patted her shoulder to comfort her. Xiaoya has always been a sunny and cheerful image in front of him for so many years, but this is the first time she has cried regardless of her image like this.

 “But, but…”

 Xiaoya cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound. That dream back then was like a beam of light that suddenly lit up in the dark mountain forest, illuminating the way forward for her dim life.

Over the years, she has been supported by that light and has grown up carefully. She has no place to express the pain in the process and does not dare to express it. She can only hide it all in her heart.

 Now that I have met Mu You and learned that he is the only person who can understand me, the grievances that have been accumulated in my heart for so many years suddenly burst out together.

"There are no outsiders, so just cry if you want." Mu You comforted Xiaoya.

This trip to the Forest of Dreams seems to have made some of their forgotten dream memories a little clearer.

Not only Xiaoya recognized him, but he also gradually recalled some outlines of the dream he had when he was a child.

Combined with the fact that several of them entered the forest at the same time, it is very likely that they can match each other's dreams...

　　In this case, the big sister who fell from heaven in his dream at that time must be...

Mu You subconsciously looked at Lin Xue in the distance.

Lin Xue felt his gaze and looked at him, but tilted her head and gave him a questioning look, as if asking him what's wrong?

 “Uh, it’s nothing…”

Mu You felt ashamed. It seemed that he had thought too much. It was also, how could it be such a coincidence...

Mu You's attention quickly shifted, but he didn't notice that just as he turned around, red clouds flew across Lin Xue's face behind him, reaching the roots of his ears... (End of this chapter)
