Chapter 705: Troubled Hearts (Non-Mainline Daily)
Mu You and Vivien continued to lead the way.
Lin Xue and Xiao Ya hung in the position behind the two of them, discussing private words in a low voice.
"And then there'......"
"I've seen this too......"
Xiao Ya was about to talk about her favorite TV plot with great interest, but when she looked up, she found that Lin Xue's eyes had already been removed, and her eyes were looking fixedly ahead.
"Why didn't you say it?"
Lin Xue suddenly glanced back at her and signaled that she was listening.
"Sister Xue, you ...... Is there something on your mind? Xiaoya hesitated.
Lin Xue was stunned: "Why do you ask that?" ”
"Because ......"
Xiaoya looked at Mu You in front of her, and then looked at her, not knowing how to explain. Even someone as sluggish as her could feel that Lin Xue seemed to be talking to her, but in fact, the attention was not on her at all, but ......
“……”
Lin Xue was stunned.
Since she woke up from a dream before, she has indeed been paying attention to Mu You, intentionally or unintentionally.
The experience in the dream, she thought it was just a trivial thing that didn't need to be taken seriously, and Mu You probably forgot it all a long time ago, otherwise she would have recognized her when she met her before.
Since the other party had forgotten that 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 remembered that dream!
Fortunately, he only remembered a vague outline, and he had not yet determined 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 stupid and confused, and when Mu You diverted her attention, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she had 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, obviously afraid that he would remember, but she seemed to be expecting him to remember......
Under the two contradictory states of mind, her mental concentration began to decline rapidly, she lost her usual calm, and became easily distracted.
And the reason why she avoided Mu You was also because from just now, once the eyes of the two collided, her heartbeat would involuntarily speed up, and even the temperature of her face would rise uncontrollably, so she could only avoid him carefully, so as not to lose her temper.
Lin Xue thought that she was hiding it well, but it was only at this time that she realized that what she was doing seemed to be a little overblown, but let everyone see what was on her mind.
Lin Xue was still in a daze, but Mu You and Vivian in front of them stopped for a long time because the two of them stopped for a long time, and they also stopped and looked back.
The eyes naturally met, but this time Lin Xue didn't have time to dodge, she only felt her heart skip a beat, and the temperature of her cheeks began to rise rapidly.
Lin Xue wanted to turn her face in a panic, but at this moment, time jumped again.
The surroundings were quietly empty, and the figures of the three disappeared without a trace.
Lin Xue actually felt a sigh of relief.
She didn't rush back, but hurriedly took the opportunity to calm down.
This trip is to do the right thing, not to think about these messy things, to 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 were back to normal.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xue prepared and adjusted the clock hands.
The surrounding scene quietly changed.
However, the figure of the three did not appear.
The sky seemed to have darkened a bit, and the number of watchmen nearby, who had been scarce, suddenly became quite dense.
The dense crowd of clockmen carrying the goods passed by her numbly, and did not deliberately avoid her position.
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, quickly realized something, and hurriedly looked at the clock.
Sure enough, the timing wasn't right.
But it wasn't the clock's problem, it was her own: she had the hour and minute hands reversed......
Her original time was supposed to be 7:05, but just now she reversed the minute and hour hands and adjusted the time to 1:35, and the time spanned more than six hours at once......
Lin Xue couldn't believe that she could be so confused that she could make such a low-level mistake.
Before she had time to think about it, she hurriedly turned the pointer back and pressed the knob again.
However, time did not jump back directly, and she remained in this timeline.
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Vivian had actually talked about a hidden rule just now: you can't jump the timeline continuously in a short period of time, and there will be a cooldown time after each jump, and the interval depends on the length of the last jump.
If it is less than an hour, this interval will be very short, only a few seconds, almost imperceptible, and then it will increase in equal proportions, and once the jump exceeds five hours, the cooldown time will be greatly extended.
And she had been jumping for more than six hours just now, and I am afraid that it would take at least ten minutes or more before she could jump again.
If it was just like this, Lin Xue wouldn't be too worried, it was a big deal to delay here for ten minutes, as long as he remembered the original time, he would naturally be able to go back.
But just then, a watchman dragging a wagon passed behind and hit her back to her, just hitting her elbow.
Lin Xue was fine, but the clock in her hand was knocked out of her hand, and it happened to fall at the feet of another watch man, and was kicked out by the other party, and rolled across most of the street with a grunt, and hit the wall in the distance with a bang.
All the clock people around were attracted by this crisp sound, and they all stopped and turned their heads to look at her.
Lin Xue felt that she had instantly become the focus of everyone.
In the distance, a watchman picked up the clock she had dropped, ran quickly, came to Lin Xue's side, and raised the clock with both hands as if flattering, as if to return it to her.
Lin Xue hesitated.
Vivien had told her not to communicate with these watchmakers, and that it was best to ignore whatever they did.
However, her clock is still in the other person's hand, and if she doesn't get it back, she will lose her unique time coordinates.
Lin Xue had no choice but to take the clock from the watch man regardless of the risk.
However, when the clock was turned around, it was found that the inside of the watch had been shattered, and 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.
"Oh no......" Lin Xue chuckled in her heart, flashing a bad premonition.
The watch was broken, and she would have to use another clock if she wanted to go back, but under the out-of-order timeline, the time of each clock was random, and when she got another clock, she couldn't determine what the time corresponding to the original timeline should be.
This means that she can only try her luck in the future, trying to jump second by second, and if she is unlucky, I am afraid that she will not be able to return to the original time after thousands of attempts.
Moreover, it is impossible for the clock people around her to give her time to try slowly.
The watch man just now was overjoyed when he saw Lin Xue taking the clock, and hurriedly went to get back his goods, ran back to Lin Xue's side, held them in both hands, and wanted to hand over the goods to her.
Lin Xue clearly understood the meaning of the watch man through mind reading: the other party didn't want to send her goods, but he was too tired and wanted her to work for a minute, so he took the opportunity to take a break.
Lin Xue naturally didn't take it, because she knew that as long as she took one, the other watch people would follow suit and entrust her with their work until she was assimilated into one of these watch people.
Lin Xue shook her head, directly in front of everyone, and quickly walked away from the place.
The watchman looked at her back in astonishment, from sluggishness, to disappointment, to anger.
Lin Xue heard the movement behind her, turned her head to look, and found that a large number of clockmen began to chase her, as if they wanted to arrest her back to complete her due work.
Lin Xue saw that her scalp was a little numb, originally she didn't want to go too far, because she still had to jump in place for time, but at this time, she couldn't run anymore.
Lin Xue hurriedly accelerated to escape, but the clock people along the road gathered more and more, all of them grabbed a life-saving straw like drowning people, and rushed towards Lin Xue frantically.
Seeing that there were more and more pursuers in all directions, and Lin Xue was not familiar with the city, he was soon blocked at a street intersection.
The surrounding clock people rushed like crazy, and Lin Xue had to summon the divine skin and retreated again and again, but there were fewer and fewer ways to retreat, 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 from behind, grabbed her wrist, and led her behind her.
Then a familiar back appeared in front of her.
The people around the clocks and watches, who were originally extremely crazy, died down in an instant after the figure appeared, and looked at the figure blocking the woman with hesitant eyes, looking at each other, but they didn't dare to be the first to step forward.
Mu You glanced coldly at the ill-intentioned watch people around him.
"Get out!"
Under a loud shout, all the clockmen trembled, and they didn't dare to stay any longer, and they dispersed like a tide.
The pursuers came and went as fast as they came, and in the blink of an eye, only the two of them were left in the same place.
Mu You looked back at Lin Xue at this time, grabbing her hand but not letting go, because he was worried that she would suddenly jump again, and the two of them would jump together even if they jumped if their bodies were in contact.
Just now they found that after Lin Xue disappeared, she hadn't come back for more than a minute, and they knew that something must have happened.
Mu You jumped tens of thousands of times in the timeline of ten hours before and after by going back and jumping time, before and after, before and after finally finding out the timeline she was in.
Lin Xue was grabbed by Mu You this time, looked at her up close, there was no way to avoid it, her heart jumped violently, she blushed and avoided her sight, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry...... I messed up ......"
She thought she had adjusted her mentality just now, but in fact, her heart was still chaotic, and even the things she did began to mess up, and under the successive oolongs, she almost forced herself to a dead end......
"Nothing, but...... Are you okay? Mu You looked at her with some concern.
If it was Xiaoya who did such a confused thing, he wouldn't be too surprised, but it was Lin Xue who was stunned.
With Lin Xue's usual rigor and calmness, he could actually make such a low-level mistake, which was the most unusual thing for Mu You.
"Hmmm......"
Lin Xue let out a sigh of relief, and after calming down for a moment, she moved her gaze back, looked at Mu You, and showed a smile at him: "Let you worry, I'm fine." ”
"Are you really okay?" Mu You was a little skeptical.
"yes, really." Lin Xue smiled and nodded.
In fact, her face is still hot, and her heartbeat is still fast, but after all these twists and turns, she is also relieved, lose face, shame, it's not always a way to escape.
"That's good......"
Mu You saw that she had indeed calmed down, so he nodded: "I don't have the ability to read minds, and I'm not good at guessing other people's minds, if you have anything on your mind, if you can't say it to me, just say it to little Yavivian, it's the same." ”
"Good ......" Lin Xue nodded obediently, her voice as thin as a mosquito.
"Then ...... Let's go back. ”
Mu You's face was a little strange, Lin Xue was really too abnormal today, but at this time he didn't ask anything more, took out the clock, and dialed the time.
The surrounding scene jumps, and the two return to the previous timeline again.
In the distance, Vivian and Xiaoya, who were waiting on the side, saw the two of them appear and hurriedly walked towards them.
"I'm sorry teacher, I made a mistake...... Lin Xue bowed her head embarrassedly.
"It's just an accident, don't care." Vivien flew over her shoulder.
"It's just, I've been wrong several times." Xiao Ya also walked quickly to Lin Xue's side, grabbed her arm and comforted.
Lin Xue was a little moved, but also a little ashamed, the three of them were taking care of her emotions, only she was here to drag her feet crazily, she really shouldn't ......
After a short hiccup, Lin Xue found a new clock nearby, wrote down the time, and everyone continued on their way.
After some hurried down, the three of them were actually very close to the city center.
After another half an hour, a huge and magnificent palace appeared in the square ahead.
In front of the gate of the palace, there is a dense line of time guards patrolling.
As the four approached, several time guards rushed in with giant axes and blocked their way.
"The Palace of Time is currently closed to outsiders, leave quickly!"
Perhaps because of Mu You's status as an administrator, the guards did not drive them away directly, but warned them first.
"We're here to meet the Queen of Time." Vivien said.
"The queen is resting, and will not see guests, so let's go!"
"Let them in."
In the depths of the palace in the rear, a female voice suddenly sounded.
Several smoke beasts glanced at each other, and then they got out of the way.
Vivien didn't seem to have any surprises, and flew into the temple with her wings outstretched, and the three of them hurriedly followed.
Entering the palace, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge transparent cube in the center of the main hall, with a side length of at least 100 meters, like a crystal Rubik's Cube, suspended in mid-air.
Around the Rubik's Cube, countless elves in the form of goblins floated, carrying miniature square crystals in their hands, busily around the Rubik's Cube, like bees building nests.
Directly below the Rubik's Cube is a small throne with a palm-sized goblin sitting on top of the throne.
The first time Mu You saw this fairy queen, he thought of the time fairy who was lodged in the pocket watch, and the time fairy was almost exactly the same as the appearance of the goblins present.
"Long time no see, Vivien, have you finally figured it out and are ready to come back to me?" The fairy queen on the throne spoke with an ambiguous smile. (End of chapter)
