In the room is a round table with a layer of red flannel on top of it.

On the flannel, Mu You was filled with a circle of small items, abacus, spoons, ingots, clocks, flutes, jade pendants and so on.

These are all ready-to-grasp items, each with a different meaning.

Yes, today is his daughter's first birthday, and the custom of catching Zhou is not very popular here in K City, and their family doesn't believe in it, but no matter what, the basic sense of ritual is still in place.

Mu You prepared his things early, set up his camera, and after putting everything in order, he hugged his daughter to the table.

Xiao Muling looked at the toys on the table, her mouth let out a giggle, she didn't think much about it, she reached out and was about to take the things in front of her in her arms.

"No, no, baby, pick a favorite." Mu You said softly.

Mu You went to the watch shop outside, found a bunch of mechanical watches, picked the best one and wore it on his wrist, and never left the watch.

In a trance, Mu You came to the tenth year that he had entered the Stopping Realm.

……

……

The books at home, and even the books in the city as a whole, only have the content of those parts that he has read himself, and the rest is all blank, and even if he wants to read books, he can only repeat these things that he is already familiar with again and again.

In this space, all dead objects he touches will be temporarily restored, but there are also many restrictions, such as the inability to use all electronic devices. His contact doesn't seem to allow disembodied energies like 'electricity' to work.

The little hand waved in a circle in mid-air, and finally landed on a 'knife'.

Mu You broke out in a cold sweat.

But all this is plunged into an eerie tranquility, everything around is in a static state, whether it is people, objects, or birds in the sky, insects and flies, all of them are frozen in the painting like a photograph.

The process of awakening is irreversible, the time cage is a 'cage' after all, and the one time Lin Xue wakes up early, she will suffer one more sin.

It was a small scimitar, of course just a plastic toy, and the little girl took the knife in her hand, and played with it to herself, not looking at anything else.

Recently, his fingers had almost touched Lin Xue, but he couldn't help but take it back every time.

Accustomed to the body of a superpower, at this moment suddenly changed to an ordinary physique, Mu You was really a little uncomfortable, and after pedaling the bicycle for two hours, he finally arrived at the nursery in the suburbs.

"Little sticky elf."

Mu You shook his head funny: "You really follow your mother's ......"

Mu You knew in his heart that in 2014, he was still in college, and his parents were still alive, and the second elder was not at home today, so he should have gone to the pet nursery base in the suburbs to buy goods.

Mu You stopped talking in time, moved the two elders back to the house, put them on the sofa and sat down, and then left the nursery base.

Until a certain moment, Mu You suddenly noticed that a little light on his shoulders was overflowing, and his figure was becoming illusory with time.

Hearing this, Mu Ling looked at him blankly with his fingers in his eyes, as if he was sure to choose only one? Shouldn't it be all of them?

Mu You insisted on nodding, otherwise there would be no point in catching Zhou.

At the same time, the cement could not be formed here, so Mu You could only find bricks and wood to build a simple building, which was built and demolished, and demolished and built.

Staying in that kind of space where there is nothing is more likely to lose yourself.

At this moment, he has returned to the state of an ordinary person, and no longer has any superpowers.

The road is full of traffic, with people coming and going on both sides, and it looks very lively.

"Speaking of which, at this time, Lin Xue shouldn't be abroad, right?" On the way, Mu You couldn't help muttering.

Mu You was a little unsure, so he was about to take his daughter to Lin Xue and let Lin Xue listen to what the little girl wanted to express.

……

After confirming Lin Xue's location, Mu You was relieved.

Don't look at my daughter, who just turned one year old today, but because of the previous energy compensation, her body shape is now two years old, plus the child who is a theocracy, her physique is already stronger than ordinary people, and she is actually about the same as a normal three-year-old child, able to run and jump.

Mu You has already considered whether to find a way to imitate the Death Scythe and create an artifact for the little girl to use in the future.

But we must not allow these evil thoughts to grow, once some things are opened, the spiritual level will be slowly corroded, there is a first time, there must be a second time, more times, until the day when the spirit is completely rotten.

The little girl was even more anxious, babbling and shouting: "...... Mom is sad...... Mommy doesn't cry ......"

Mu You complained, but he still hugged his daughter for the first time.

He prepared himself for a huge trip around the world.

On this day, Mu You got up mechanically, numb breakfast, numb logging, numb starting meaningless work......

Mu You bypassed pedestrians, walked out of the commercial street, and walked forward, and the familiar two-story building in front of him appeared in front of him - a strange pet store.

The second is a regular life. After having a clock, Mu You strictly works at sunrise and sunset every day according to the habits of normal people.

All the books that can be read have been turned over by him no less than ten times, and he will feel sick to his stomach when he reads it again.

However, the little girl was only hot for three minutes, grabbed the toy knife and played for a while, and soon lost interest, put the toy aside, crawled towards Mu You, stretched out her hands and coquettish: "Dad...... Hug ......"

At the same time, he stretched out his hands and groped towards Mu You's face.

He struggled to dispel negative emotions and tried to pass the time by sleeping or meditating.

Since you can't stay in a familiar place, a change of environment will always bring something new.

Even if Mu You wants to exercise, there will be no change in his body, because the physical fitness data of this world has been locked from the beginning, and no matter how long he exercises, he will not add any muscles.

Mu You left the Lin family, and even left K City.

Mu You flipped through the pages at home, all mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices could not be used, and the picture was all frozen at the moment when time stood still.

At this time, the second elder was in front of the accounting desk, looking excited, arguing loudly with the bookkeeper.

Unfortunately, the seeds planted in the ground do not take root.

Now he is just an ordinary person, most of the transportation in this world is still unusable, if Lin Xue is really abroad, it means that he has to rely on two legs to go abroad first, so he must not break his legs?

In addition, the car could not be started, so Mu You had to ride a bicycle to travel.

At the same time, not to mention computers, the Internet, mobile phones, etc.

So it's best for him to hold on for as much time as possible first, and then wake up Lin Xue when he really can't hold it anymore.

The real collapse is like this, without warning, quietly beginning, and finally ending in silence.

Later, I prepared a lot of notepads and diaries, and kept the habit of writing a diary every day, and recorded the date by the way.

At this time, the little girl touched his chin, two little hands held his face, and a soft energy gushed out of her hands.

After a short pause, Mu You quickly came back to his senses, he and Lin Xue had just entered the heart of time together, and this was obviously the scene of the time cage.

First of all, the most important thing is to record time, in this kind of world where there is no sun rising and moon setting, and the moment is always still, it is extremely important to maintain a sense of time, and there is hope for a clear time record.

In the whole world, he is the only living person, as if it is a world that belongs only to him, and this feeling is indeed novel at first. But the feeling of depression also comes faster than expected.

He needs to test his extreme endurance, if this endurance can't even reach the minimum standard, then it is better to give up early, lest Lin Xue follow him and suffer.

Finally, there is a pure heart and few desires. In this world where no one is supervised and restricted, everything is decided by oneself, and the human heart will involuntarily emerge a lot of evil thoughts, such as the desire to destroy, the desire to kill, the desire to lust, and so on.

Mu You rode to the Lin family's compound and successfully found Lin Xue in the back garden of Lin Xue's grandmother's house.

Lin Xue was wearing a pale yellow dress and a sunhat, and was watering flowers in front of the flower bed with a watering can.

On this day, Mu You came to Lin Xue again.

Then Mu You started a stable life at home, reading and working during the day, resting at night, and eating three meals a day, although the food here has no taste at all, and he himself will not feel full or hungry, but the sense of ritual should not be less.

During this period, Mu You stood in front of Lin Xue countless times.

Looking at the 'closing' sign at the door, Mu You stepped forward, flipped over his body, took out the key, and opened the door familiarly.

On May 27, 2014, it was 12:55 p.m.

Anyway, this trip to meet my parents can be regarded as untying a knot.

Scenes came to his mind......

But at the last moment, Mu You still stopped his hand.

Sure enough, a large number of pet merchants were queuing up at the entrance of the nursery, and Mu You had also followed his parents to this place several times.

Not because of how determined he is, but because he knows that if only the first 10 years are too much for him to bear, it is simply impossible to complete the long journey of 5,000 years.

He and Lin Xue came in together, but he was the only one who could move at first, and he needed to find Lin Xue first and pull her into the end of the realm before he could start the life of two people.

"What's wrong with Mom? Mom and Dad won't be separated. Looking at the anxious look on the little girl's face, Mu You hurriedly relieved.

Even though Mu You had pretended to be living a normal life as much as possible, the feeling of emptiness still came faster than he imagined.

Only then did he realize that in the Stopping Realm, the real mental breakdown was not felt, such as the moment when he felt extremely empty and frantically wanted to wake up Lin Xue to accompany him, but not a sign of collapse.

'Day 155 of the 76th year'.

Fortunately, he was lucky.

Next, he didn't wake up Lin Xue immediately.

Mu You then stopped studying, changed his lifestyle, and began to farm and build a house.

In the whole world, only Mu You himself can act normally.

"Daddy...... Dad ...... "Mu You was about to put his daughter to sleep, and the little girl suddenly babbled.

Xiao Ling'er obediently opened her eyes wide, looked around, and tried to find her favorite.

Mu You has also entered the stop realm before, but he is basically in battle, and he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to anything else, and he usually spins the top endlessly, and it is only for ten seconds, and it will end in the blink of an eye, and he will not feel anything.

Looking at his parents, Mu You felt a little emotional, moved a chair nearby and sat down, talked with the second elder for a while, and described the situation in the pet store.

Mu You woke up from the chaos, and when he opened his eyes, he was on a commercial street.

Mu You suddenly felt stunned in front of him and stood in place.

It doesn't make sense, but it kills time.

Mu You confided for a while, but soon couldn't continue, and even had a faint feeling of hair in his heart.

Five thousand years, destined to be a long journey, regular life and weak desires, is a necessary condition to ensure that he does not gradually degenerate, after all, he is not just here to stay for five thousand years, during which he must always maintain a stable mental state, once the SAN value is reduced to a certain point, he will be swallowed by prison, and there will be no chance to leave.

The good news is that the world's goods are now at his disposal.

A memory that had been sealed in the dust in the depths of his soul began to loosen with the wash of this energy.

Mu You rode on the road and went straight to the direction of the Lin family.

But I soon found that the more this happened, the more difficult it was to calm my heart.

I don't know if it's the influence of the too abundant blood of the god of death in the body, or the way I'm used to seeing Lin Xue wielding a sickle in her hand, a bunch of small toys, the girl is obviously most interested in this thing that is closest to the shape of the sickle.

"Daddy's here, what?"

Lin Xue in this era is only 19 years old, and both her appearance and temperament are more youthful than Lin Xue in his impression.

However, the actual situation disappointed Mu You, there was no 'world' at all, and the outside world was much smaller than he imagined.

Looking at the girl who remained still in front of her, but was full of youthful vitality, Mu You swallowed his saliva, and his lonely heart was faintly troubled, driving him to slowly stretch out his hand towards Lin Xue......

When there is no positive feedback on doing anything, just a year has passed, and Mu You feels bored.

Vivien is right, the most terrifying thing about the time cage is not the loneliness of being alone, but the pointlessness of doing anything here.

For the next few decades, he didn't leave again, he stayed in K City, and continued to think of various ways to kill time.

The house was empty, there was no one, only rows of various pets kept in cages, all of which remained stationary.

After searching for several hours, I basically rummaged through half of the factory, and finally found his parents in a corner.

Mu You went straight to the door calendar, and the top priority was to determine the specific time of this scene first.

Next, Mu You returned to the pet store and was ready to live alone at home for a long time.

In fact, he originally expected to survive a hundred years on his own, but now he has only lasted three-quarters.

Next, it's time to look for Lin Xue.

Looking at the time recorded in the journalbook, Mu You sighed.

"Daddy...... Mom...... Together...... Don't leave the ......" The little girl said intermittently, obviously wanting to express something, but because she was not proficient in language, she couldn't express it.

Fifteen years later, Mu You traveled all over the places he could and returned to K City.

In this world, he will only generate the areas and cities he has personally set foot in at that time, and in this era, he has never left the province at all, so there are only things in K City and a few surrounding urban areas in the outside world, and the rest of the place is a pure white space.

However, he only persisted in these things for three years, and then he could not repeat them, so he could only continue to switch to new 'jobs'......

A few hours later, Mu You came to Lin's house again and stood in front of Lin Xue.

The little girl skillfully lay in the crook of Mu You's arm, curled up her limbs, her eyes bent, and she had an expression of peace of mind and enjoyment.

Since the sky will not change, it is difficult for him to judge the time, the whole scene is obviously crowded, but the quiet needle drop can be heard, only he is talking alone, unspeakably weird.

It wasn't until now, after spending more than ten hours alone in the Stopping Boundary, that he had a real understanding of the word 'Stopping Boundary'.

Mu You was startled, hurriedly concentrated and stabilized his spirit, and the overflow of light points stopped, and his illusory figure was condensed again.

However, this only refers to the physical state, and in terms of intelligence and experience, it is actually still in the state of just one year old, so it looks like a two or three-year-old child, but it is still used to clinging to its parents like a baby.

But there is no way, this is his limit now, and if he is unstable, he may disappear quietly at some point.

Mu You stretched out his hand to Lin Xue again.

This time he didn't stop, and touched her directly...... (End of chapter)
