Past Events (7) The Butterfly Effect

The family took action.

Lin Xue rummaged through all the photos in the pet store, looking for the pictures they had frozen together.

However, in all the photos and videos that Mu You was supposed to appear, his figure disappeared as if he had disappeared from the world, and the other people and the surrounding scenery were fine-tuned, and his place was perfectly replaced in the photos, and there was no difference in the slightest.

The traces on the items disappeared seamlessly, and Lin Xue could only go to find someone, she found Fuya and Gargamel in the Star Spirit Realm, and found Mu You's colleagues in the Abnormal Investigation Bureau on Earth, members of the association, and so on......

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

Now everyone is in despair.

Only Lin Xue is still insisting on looking, and if acquaintances ask all over it, then ask passers-by.

Lin Xue caught passers-by on the street, and asked if they had heard the name Mu You, and the whole person was like a crazy demon, from one hundred to one thousand, and then to tens of thousands...... Until the nearby passers-by took her for a psychopath, still no one responded to her.

The answer is all that I don't know, I don't know.

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

"You...... Who is it...... Why can't I remember...... Clearly...... It is a person who must not be forgotten...... Why...... I ......"

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

Lu Yao scolded the lively and ill-intentioned passers-by on the side of the street, dispersed the surrounding crowd, and then walked to Lin Xue's side and looked at her worriedly: "Xiaoxue, you ...... Are you okay? ”

"Huh...... You guys...... Why is it here...... Why am I here......" Lin Xue looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, her eyes were blank, and she couldn't remember how she got here.

Lin Xue looked at a few people sluggishly, obviously still in pain just now, but looking at the smiles on their faces, she always felt that those unhappiness were gradually disappearing with the wind.

"Sister Xue, are you okay?"

Lin Xue held her dizzy head, although she was in pain, she still desperately remembered, and finally called out the name again.

"That's right, Mu You! It's Mu You! ”

In a flash, a month has passed......

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

……

"Look at what! Get out of the ...... for the old lady."

"Call ......"

Lin Xue was still a little dazed, but in the worried eyes of everyone, she had to nod and squeeze out a smile: "Well, it's ......."

Lin Xue fell to her knees sluggishly, and her tears finally began to fall in large drops, falling on the dirt on the ground, and soon a large area was wet.

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

Lin Xue paused as she spoke, because she was shocked to find that she couldn't remember the next word of his name.

For Lin Xue, the following days seemed to have become unwavering.

"Mu ...... Bathe...... Mu You! ”

Feeling the new memories that were still pouring into her brain, Lin Xue couldn't help but shed tears, she hurriedly wiped them clean, gritted her teeth, and began to repeat them in place.

"No problem, I remember, the person who must not be forgotten is Mu You! Mu You! Mu You! Even if everyone forgets you, I will never forget, the most important person to me, is called ......"

Lin Xue suddenly stopped.

Xiaoya also stepped forward at this time, held Lin Xue's hand and said distressedly: "It must be that the pressure is too great during this time, Sister Xue, we will not be open for the past few days, and we will talk about it when you recover." ”

Xiaoya, Lin Hai, Lu Yao and other relatives and friends hurriedly came, they had been following Lin Xue all day today, because they couldn't stop her, they could only follow all the time.

Xiaoya helped Lin Xue up, and several people walked towards the pet store together.

Her body began to tremble violently, but she couldn't remember the name anyway.

“…… As for the person you're talking about, we'll call more people to help you find it tomorrow, okay? That man, that ...... Hmm, what's it called? ”

"Sister Xue!"

"Xiaoxue!"

"Mu You, Mu You, Mu You......"

"Your name is ...... What? ”

Lin Xue didn't answer, and sat on the bench in a daze. This position is the position she comes to most often in the Stopping Realm and Mu You.

"Sister...... Let's go back first, and look for it tomorrow if there is anything, okay? ”

"I'm the last person in the world to remember him, and my memory is the last thing he left in this world, what if I forget it?"

Just when Lin Xue was in pain, her shoulder was suddenly held, she turned her head a little stunned, and behind her, Xiaoya and the others were all looking at her with a smile.

"Hmmm......"

"You still said that everyone was going to get together to chat just now, but you suddenly ran out shouting and startled us, didn't we all come to you quickly?" Lu Yao rolled her eyes.

Lin Hai also looked at Lin Xue worriedly. At this moment, Lin Xue's eyes were blank, as if he had lost all his spirit at once, which made him anxious.

"Ah, yes...... Is that so? I'm sorry, I can't remember......" Lin Xue muttered in amazement.

"Xiaoxue, what are you doing here? Come home and eat, it's waiting for you! ”

"Okay, as long as you're okay, let's go, let's go home......"

In the kitchen at night, Lin Xue finished her day's work, turned on the coffee machine, skillfully made a cup of coffee, but took another cup easily, turned around and smiled and handed it aside: "Oh, yours." ”

However, the imaginary response did not sound, and when she turned to look, her side was empty.

Lin Xue paused, his hand holding the cup hovered in mid-air, and his heart was stunned.

I don't know why, she always feels that there should be someone around her at this moment......

At this moment, Lu Yao passed by the kitchen door with a towel wrapped around her head, and when she saw Lin Xue's hand holding the cup, she was stunned: "Huh? For me? ”

"Hmm......" Lin Xue was embarrassed for a moment, so she had to nod.

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

Lu Yao drank and suddenly asked, "By the way, Xiaoxue, do you remember what happened that day?" ”

"What happened that day? What's the matter? ”

"That afternoon, when you ran out crying."

"That day......"

Lin Xue thought for a while, shook her head and said, "The memory of that day is a little vague, I can't remember it, what, did I say anything that day?" ”

"Not really, in fact, I don't remember exactly, but I vaguely remember that you seem to have been looking for someone or something, and you are still very anxious......"

"Yes......"

Lin Xue frowned slightly, and was about to continue to ask.

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

At first, Lin Xue thought she was playing some kind of wooden man game, but soon found out that something was wrong, and the liquid splashed from the edge of the cup in Lu Yao's hand was also suspended in the air with her.

Not only that, but at this moment the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet, and all the noise disappeared without a trace, except for the sound of her own breathing and heartbeat.

Lin Xue was stunned for a while, and in a trance, she saw a dark blue butterfly, flapping its wings, quietly floating outside the door, passing by her side, flying out of the window, but when she was about to approach the window, it suddenly disappeared.

And the world that was originally static has also resumed its function with the disappearance of butterflies.

"Forget it, it's the weekend tomorrow, you should think about where to play......" Lu Yao's hearty laughter continued.

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

"What's wrong, Xiaoxue?" Lu Yao saw her abnormality.

"Nothing...... Probably an illusion......"

……

At night, Lin Xue lay on the bed, and her tired body reminded her that she should fall asleep as soon as possible, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

The scene of the blue butterfly fluttering its wings in the evening kept replaying in her mind.

An inexplicable sense of panic swirled over her, as if to remind her of something.

Lin Xue couldn't sleep, so she had to get up and swallow some sleeping medicine.

Lying down again, under the effect of the drug, sleepiness finally hit.

Lin Xue gradually fell into a light sleep......

In a drowsy state, Lin Xue felt as if she had come somewhere.

It was a barren world, with yellow sand in sight, no plants or animals in sight, and as far as the eye could see, all sand and clods of earth were lifted by the wind.

Lin Xue was wearing thin clothes, stepping barefoot on the land here, stepping on such a ground should have been very painful, but Lin Xue didn't seem to feel anything, walking step by step, without feeling any discomfort, and the violent wind around her couldn't blow her.

In this world that seems to have no borders, there is a long stretch of yellow sand as far as the eye can see, as if it is a real desert.

Fortunately, such a scenery did not last forever, and after Lin Xue walked for a long time, she finally saw a scenery beyond the sand.

It was a mountain made of pure stones, almost a hundred meters high.

Lin Xue walked over curiously, looked up from afar, and found that on the top of this stone mountain, there was a vague figure.

In such a lonely environment, Lin Xue unconsciously took steps, used both hands and feet, and climbed the stone mountain with great effort.

Soon, Lin Xue reached the top of the mountain.

Closer, she could finally make out the figure at the top of the mountain: it was a man dressed in tatters, with a stubbled face and waist-length hair.

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

The man was holding a handful of sand in his hand at this time, pressing it constantly, and after compacting it, he would continue to grab another handful from the side, cover it again on the already compacted sand, and then continue to press.

At this time, the man seemed to have discovered Lin Xue, his movements paused slightly, and he looked up.

And as he raised his head, Lin Xue finally had a chance to see his face clearly.

It was a weather-beaten face, and its cheeks seemed to have been destroyed by the fierce wind here countless times, and there were cracks all over it, and it was almost impossible to see the original appearance.

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

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

Lin Xue couldn't help but tilt her head and asked, "Who are you?" Over here...... Do what? ”

This time the man finally had a reaction, he looked at Lin Xue's face, his chapped lips that seemed to be petrified were squirming hard, and a hoarse voice came from his throat.

"I ...... Be...... Who? ”

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

After half a sound, it wasn't until Lin Xue was a little impatient that she continued to speak: "...... I...... I don't know ......."

"Don't know?"

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

The man stared straight at Lin Xue, and only said in a half-loud voice: "I don't remember how long I've been here, including my own identity and name...... I don't remember anything...... All I remember is that I was waiting for someone......"

"Waiting for whom?"

“…… I forgot, I remember it a long time ago, it was a person who was very important to me, and I read that name every day, afraid that I would forget...... However, the time here is so long that all my memories fade away in infinite time...... In the end, I couldn't even remember who I was, and this person's name disappeared in time......"

"Oh? How long exactly? ”

"How long is ......"

The man couldn't help but glance at the stone mountain under his feet.

“…… In this world, a ruined city will be generated every year, and when I destroy all the ruined cities, the ruined city will turn into a grain of sand...... That's how all the sand in this world comes from......"

Lin Xue covered her mouth in surprise, if every grain of sand represents a year, then how much sand is there here?

I'm afraid it's going to take billions to remember......

For such a long time, it is no wonder that his memories have completely disappeared.

"So, what are you doing now?" Lin Xue looked at the sand in his hand and asked.

"Is this ......?"

The man looked down at the sand.

"I want to get out of here, but I can't find an exit, because it's a place where it's endless, and the only exit I can think of is ......"

The man said, pointing his finger to the sky.

"So, I'm going to set the sand into stones, and then I'm going to pile them up into an infinitely high mountain and see if I can escape......"

"Huh? How could that be done...... With such a high sky, when are you going to pile up? Why are you so stupid, why don't you think of something else? Lin Xue also felt the same for a while, and was anxious for him.

"Because...... There's nothing here, only sand, and only sand......"

Lin Xue was stunned, and after thinking about it, she really couldn't do anything else in this situation.

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

"Me?"

Lin Xue shook her head a little blankly: "Who am I...... I don't remember either......"

“…… Let's go back. ”

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

"But ......"

Lin Xue couldn't help but stretch 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!"

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

"You...... Seen me? ”

"Well, really, absolutely! I've seen you! ”

The more Lin Xue looked at that face, the more familiar she felt, and those memories that were sealed in the depths of her mind were pouring out little by little, and she couldn't help but say excitedly: "Although I can't remember the specifics, we must have met in the distant past...... Then, I ...... I seem to have been looking for someone who is important to me...... Please tell me, that person, isn't it? ”

The man looked at Lin Xue a little sluggishly 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've seen me, can you tell me my name? ”

"Name? That's right, the name...... The most important name is ......"

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

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

"Ahh

Lin Xue was startled, and subconsciously stretched out her hand, wanting to grab the man on the ground, but her rise speed was getting faster and faster, and this time she grabbed a void.

Realizing that she was destined to leave here, Lin Xue couldn't help but struggle. Below, the man was still watching her quietly, waiting for her answer.

Lin Xue hurriedly continued to recall, racking her brains to recall those familiar pictures.

"Name...... Your name is ...... It's ......"

The severe pain hit, Lin Xue snorted, covered her head, only to feel that her brain was cloudy, and all kinds of chaotic memories came one after another, making her almost collapse.

"Hold on a little longer, hold on a little more and remember...... That name, that ...... The most important name for me...... Your name is ...... Called......"

Lin Xue flew higher and higher, and soon he couldn't see the figure on the ground.

"Your name is Mu ...... Mu ......"

"Mu You!"

Lin Xue sat up from the bed suddenly, already soaked in cold sweat...... (End of chapter)
