This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

In front of the forest that stretches for thousands of miles, a group of people flew in from the distant plain at high speed. Led by a blond man at the head, they filed in and disappeared at the junction of the forest and the plain.

 “Area B detection completed, safe!”

 “It’s okay in Area E…”

 …

 Half an hour later, listening to the voices that sounded one after another on the communicator, the blond man felt a little empty in front of him.

A mechanical helmet floating in mid-air appeared, and a familiar mechanical voice came from it: "It's not wrong. According to the detection of the space detector, the last space-time wavelength disappeared near here."

“In other words, those two people are in this forest at the moment?” the emperor asked with a frown.

“Yes, judging from the time it took for the wavelength to disappear, the two of them should not have time to escape from the forest.”

 “Very good, everyone, proceed as planned.” The emperor ordered through the communicator.

“Hurry up and work... Damn, I’ve been chasing you for half a year, I must catch these two guys this time!”

"ah…"

“All members, immediately enter the defense mode and shrink the front line inward.” The emperor ordered into the communicator, turned on the divine skin at the same time, and rushed towards the location of the incident at full speed.

However, when he turned his head, what greeted him was a sickle blade that had not been frozen in time.

The woman's mournful cry rang out, and Hongxiu, who sensed something was wrong not far away, rushed over, but was still a step too late. She could only watch as her husband's body lost all life and fell straight to the ground.

"Other means?" Everyone was shocked. They are all well-armed elites, and their abilities are highly complementary. Ordinary means will not work, and they can achieve the current effect of being invisible. Only divine authority.

The two of them had assigned tasks and were chatting when a scream suddenly sounded from the communicator.

The stop boundary is opened, and the Z Realm Walker turns his head with the victory in hand, wanting to see first who dares to take the initiative to attack him.

All the elites present immediately realized that this time the enemy suddenly came to the Elf Forest. Could it be a 'trap' for them, trying to lure them in, and then use the information gap to kill them in a wave of revenge?

“The spatio-temporal reaction has appeared again...it is in an uninhabited area...the other party is changing position...” Ava's report sounded again.

"who knows…"

Hongxiu rushed toward Lin Xue with the death chain in hand.

Lin Xue just looked at her quietly, holding the sickle with both hands.

“Coordinates R area 145, 265, four members were attacked by enemies and died on the spot!” Ava reported.

“How is that possible? Didn’t you need to be alerted at any time?”

Somewhere on the edge of the forest, Z World Walker looked at the corpses of the four dead players in front of him, gestured to the red sleeves in the distance, and was about to continue to the next location.

Z Jie Xingzhe frowned and didn't pay too much attention. He subconsciously pressed his fingers, and the time around him naturally stopped.

 The limit will be lifted naturally.

Hongxiu was frozen in place, falling into a stasis of time, while her swollen belly squirmed, revealing a baby's face, which was the left mound where Hongxiu's child was reincarnated.

Hong Xiu had just set off when an oval portal appeared not far ahead.

Ten seconds later, she raised her head again and stared at Lin Xue, her eyes red and her face distorted: "I want you to die!"

 The limit suddenly opens at this moment.

“Everyone, be careful, keep a low profile. This is the territory of the elves. When setting up traps, don’t destroy trees casually, as this will provoke the hatred of the elves.”

Opposite, on Lin Xue's body, the shadow of the God of Death appeared for the first time. He stretched out his hand to sweep the soul in the air and swallowed it in one gulp.

However, in the next second, there were several screams in succession, mixed with a man's sneer.

"clear!"

The light of the sword flashed, leaving a line of blood on the neck of Z Realm Walker. Along with the blood, the soul of Z Realm Walker splattered out.

 The voices of the devil and the smile sounded from the communicator one after another.

“By the way, why did these two people suddenly end up in the elves’ territory?”

“Group of four, don’t separate. Those who have divine skins are all on. Those who don’t have wind magic must make sure to have wind magic on hand at all times. Once you receive an alert from Ava, activate the wind wall immediately!”

　　A sound breaking through the air suddenly struck from the side.

This face was looking at Lin Xue across from him with an expression of extreme horror. The death of the Z Realm Walker just now had made him understand something. How could he dare to step forward to fight? He hurriedly controlled Hong Xiu, who was dominated by anger, and turned towards him. Running away in the distance.

The Emperor's calm voice temporarily calmed everyone's nervousness.

 “Haha, it’s too late!”

Hong Xiu was stagnant on the spot, unable to come back to his senses for a while.

 …

 “Poof!”

"No!"

  In other words, the other two have gained new divine power during this period?

Without waiting for this sound, it sounded again and again.

 “What’s going on?” the devil asked quickly.

Hundreds of player teams responded one after another and started busy in various parts of the forest.

"There was no time-space wavelength response in the combat area...the enemy used other means to get close to our members." Ava said.

But just when Hongxiu was about to step into the teleportation formation, a blade pierced Hongxiu from behind, pierced her abdomen, and brought out the unformed baby inside.

The left mound was covered in blood and was impaled on the tip of the sickle. His face was twisted in pain, and the vitality in his body quickly disappeared.

Before he died, looking at the expressionless woman below, he still had one final question in his mind: Why would a time observer appear in this place...

 …

 “What? You said the battle is over?”

“Yes, another group of players appeared on the scene. The opponent should have ambushed them in advance. They just killed two...no, three enemies in a short period of time.”

　　　…”

 …

　　Listening to Ava’s report on the communicator, a group of people from the Emperor and the Divine Right of Kings quickly came from all directions and surrounded the crime scene.

As soon as they arrived at the scene, everyone saw three corpses on the ground, a man, a woman and a baby. Among them, the woman's abdomen was opened, and the fetus in her belly was missing. The woman's body seemed to be aging rapidly and became full of flesh and blood. The old man with white hair and haggard body died with extreme unwillingness and fear.

At this moment, everyone had no time to pay attention to the three corpses. Instead, they stared at the only figure still standing in the field as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

It was a woman wearing a red robe and holding a scythe. Her face was pale and she looked a little sick. Her eyes were bloodshot and the dark circles were extremely thick. She seemed to have not slept for a long time.

Even though this woman looked like she was seriously injured, no one dared to approach her at will at this moment. After all, the Death God skin floating on her body was not a decoration.

Everyone looked at each other, a little shocked.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it was obvious that these three people died at the hands of this woman. You must know that this couple was the enemy that they had been chasing for more than half a year but failed to succeed... Everyone was curious about how strong this woman was. ?

 “Xiao Xue!”

 “Sister Xue!”

Lu Yao and Xiaoya walked out of the jungle next to them and ran quickly to Lin Xue, but they both looked at Lin Xue in horror.

It is now the fourth day since they arrived in the Elf Forest. Four days ago, when Lu Yao heard Lin Xue say that she would ambush the 'Z Realm Walker' here, she was already prepared for a fierce battle. After all, this Z Realm Walker is the most wanted criminal in the world right now. He disappears and disappears all day long. A large number of players have already lost their lives at the hands of the opponent.

As a result, when it came time to actually take action, Lin Xue just asked her to use the relic to help hide her figure, then approached the enemy alone, and then completed the instant kill when no one knew what happened.

“Ahem...beauties, do you also have grudges against these two people?”

Opposite, after the Divine Right of Kings and the others were silent, the most sociable ‘Smile’ spoke on behalf of everyone.

The three people on the opposite side have defeated the Z Realm Walker. Logically speaking, they should not be enemies, but this woman still retains the skin of the God of Death...

You must know that the God of Death has always been the symbol of the accomplice of Z Realm Walker. In the past six months, they have conducted a lot of research on the God of Death, but they did not expect that a new agent of the God of Death would appear now, which made everyone feel a little confused for a moment. Not clear about ourselves and the enemy.

Combining the location and time of the woman's appearance, everyone has already guessed that the two Z Realm Walkers suddenly changed their direction and came to the Elf Forest, mostly to find this woman.

 “They are considered enemies...but this time, the person I really want to find is you.” Lin Xue suddenly looked at the emperor.

 Everyone was stunned and looked at the emperor.

 “I wonder what you want to see me for?” The emperor looked calmly, and while responding to Lin Xue, he quickly communicated with Ava in his mind, asking Ava to find out Lin Xue’s identity.

 In the blink of an eye, Lin Xue’s numerous information on the earth was presented to the emperor.

The emperor was surprised and confused when he looked at these information. What surprised him was that Lin Xue's identity was very ordinary and his behavior was extremely low-key. He never expected that there were such masters hidden among the people in China.

What was at a loss was that he really couldn't see any connection between Lin Xue's identity and background and his.

“You have sealed the entrance to the dream world, right?” Lin Xue asked.

 “I’m right.” The emperor nodded.

"Very good, I need you to help me open the entrance. I want to enter the dream world..." Lin Xue said weakly, her body swaying a little, and Xiaoya on the side quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands.

“…Just think of it as my reward for helping you kill these three wanted persons.” Lin Xue added.

 The emperor frowned when he heard this, looked at the three people on the ground, and then looked at Lin Xue: "Can I ask why?"

He asked why the other party wanted to enter the dream world. As far as he knew, it was already dominated by nightmare beasts and there was no value in exploring it.

 “To save someone.”

 “Who to save?”

 “My lover is also the savior of this world.”

As soon as these words came out, the group of people on the opposite side frowned.

 Savior?

"Beauty, can you make it clearer? What do you mean by savior? Without him, the world will be destroyed?" The devil frowned and asked.

"Yes, this is a world without hope. Because the savior failed to be born, the history of this world line has deviated from the track. Humanity will eventually be defeated by the God-Eating Beast many years later, and in the Catastrophe a hundred years later Extinction." Lin Xue tried to speak as fast as possible, but without being confused. She knew that it would be difficult for the other party to believe her unless she said something clearly.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, and their expressions became even weirder.

 “How do you know this kind of thing?” someone questioned.

"Because, I am not from this time and space, but from another world line - the correct world line." Lin Xue said.

"ah?"

The first person to question was not the people with the divine right of kings, but Lu Yao and Xiaoya. Both of them looked at Lin Xue in shock and confusion.

And when everyone in the Divine Right of Kings saw the behavior of the other three, they felt it was even more unreasonable. Even your own companions didn't know about their feelings? How to make them believe it?

Then everyone asked Lin Xue one after another about many details of the so-called "another world", and Lin Xue answered them one by one.

But when she heard her talk about the last world, where the Emperor and the Divine Right of Kings were defeated by someone else, and the Lord of the City of Order was replaced by someone else, the devil was the first to sneer: "Nonsense, you said the Emperor lost to someone else? Why? Maybe? I don’t believe there is anyone better than the Emperor!”

Lin Xue did not answer the devil, but looked at the emperor and said seriously: "You are very good, but unfortunately, you are not the 'right' person. No matter how powerful you are in cultivation and how capable you are of leadership, you can unite all mankind around the world. , you can’t save the world.”

“Then what kind of person can save the world?” someone asked. Listening to Lin Xue continuously belittling the leader, everyone became angry.

 “Children of time.”

Lin Xue gave a specious answer.

 “Children of Time?”

 “What the hell…”

Everyone on the opposite side started shouting. They all felt that this woman was talking nonsense, and no one believed her. The emperor, on the other hand, had been meditating calmly. Until just now when Lin Xue said ‘son of time’, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at Lin Xue with some surprise.

"There is no time, we must open the dream world immediately, otherwise, I don't know how long he can last!" Lin Xue suddenly urged anxiously.

"Emperor, you don't really believe her words, do you? This woman is obviously a lunatic, she is just talking nonsense! We spent a lot of money to seal the dream world, how can we unblock it at will?" The devil looked at the emperor. persuade.

"A madman can help us deal with the enemy we have been chasing for half a year and have been unable to catch him?" the emperor asked.

 The devil was choked and speechless.

Others were also blushing.

There is no other way. Their real achievements are right in front of them, and everyone has nothing to say.

 The emperor looked at Lin Xue: "Since you are in a hurry, come with me."

 After saying that, we flew deep into the forest.

Lin Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the emperor was persuaded, and let Xiaoya and Lu Yao lead them and followed him.

 Other people with the divine right to kings looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

 The group passed through the teleportation array and soon came to the Emerald City again, under the World Tree.

This time Riley did not stop and directly let the tree people pass, but only Tianzi, Lin Xue, Xiaoya and Lu Yao were allowed to land on the World Tree.

"I believe you, not because you helped kill those two people..."

While the wooden ‘elevator’ was moving, the emperor suddenly opened his mouth to explain.

“It’s because I have had some feelings of confusion in the past, especially after I inherited the title of Lord of Order City. I always felt that my current identity was unreal, as if it was not supposed to belong to me, but to another person…”

"I can foresee that if this continues, the world will eventually reach an ending that I can't handle..."

The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, and the three women behind him also listened without saying a word.

"In short, I cannot let the future of this world be destroyed in my hands... For this reason, I am willing to take a gamble..."

The emperor then turned around and looked directly at Lin Xue: "So, if there is really the person you mentioned...bring him back and restore the world to what it should be..."

 “Thank you, I will do it.” Lin Xue nodded seriously.

She is now very glad that the Lord of Order in this world is the Emperor. Otherwise, if it were someone else, even if they believed her words, there would be a big question mark as to whether they would be willing to give up this 'number one' position and act as a green leaf for others. .

 After a while, the four of them reached the tree crown, and under the leadership of Riley, they arrived at the core of the World Tree, between dreams.

During the deep dream at this moment, the surrounding walls were covered with dense order runes, which were seals that separated the two worlds.

The Emperor took out the Pen of Order, and before taking action, he looked at Lin Xue: "Let me tell you first, although I believe in you, I will not ignore the world."

“In order to prevent the real world from being invaded by nightmare beasts, I will immediately reseal the entrance after opening it to let you in.”

“That is to say, if you die in the dream world, you will really die and have no chance to come back.” The emperor looked at Lin Xue and reiterated the risks of this operation with a serious expression.

 “I understand, let’s get started.”

Lin Xue nodded. From the moment she entered here, she had no intention of coming back.

 “Sister Xue…”

At this time, Xiaoya and Lu Yao behind them both looked at Lin Xue worriedly.

 Lin Xue also looked at the two of them apologetically: "Sorry, I really don't have time to explain. I have to leave immediately... I'm sorry..."

The people she feels most guilty about in this world are Lu Yao and Xiaoya. They have helped her a lot in the past few days, but she didn't even have time to explain the situation clearly... although she did explain that they would soon forget it under the power of correction.

In the blink of an eye, the Emperor was already waving his brush. As the runes of order flowed on the wall, an oval-shaped opening gradually took shape in the middle of the dense runes.

 The emperor nodded to Lin Xue.

Lin Xue quickly ran to a wooden bed, lay down and closed her eyes.

 A dream butterfly hovered naturally on her forehead...

 …

When Lin Xue opened her eyes again, she had already appeared in the dream world.

But the dream world in front of me is very different from what I remember. The originally fairy tale-style world is now filled with dense black shadows.

This kind of thing that looks like a shadow ghost is the so-called nightmare beast.

They have been breeding for countless generations in this uncontrolled world. Looking around at this moment, the surroundings are filled with darkness, filled with such things.

The nearest nightmare beast quickly discovered Lin Xue and roared towards her.

Lin Xue hurriedly manifested the Death Scythe and slashed it out. The nightmare beast was cut in half and turned into black energy and dissipated.

This thing seems to be more fragile than expected, but there are too many of them that it can't hold, and even if it is killed, the black energy will quickly condense and form again in a nearby location.

The surrounding nightmare beasts were awakened by the movement here, and more black shadows rushed toward them. Lin Xue hurriedly continued to swing his sword, killing one nightmare beast after another.

However, looking at the dark sight with no end in sight, Lin Xue could not help but feel a sense of despair in her heart.

To get to the heart of time in the dream world, you must first think about this place in your mind, and then keep walking for a day and night, and then the heart of time will appear.

  In other words, she must fight here non-stop for 24 hours...

Lin Xue tried her best to drag her tired body and swing the knife to disperse the few black shadows around her, but her eyelids felt extremely heavy.

It would be okay if it was normal, but she had stayed up for four or five nights in a row before, and her body was already extremely sleepy. Next, she had to continue fighting with high intensity day and night. Can she really do it? Of course she has enough motivation and perseverance, but some things cannot be done with willpower alone...

Just when Lin Xue felt a little desperate, a ray of green light fell on her, healing her wounds and boosting her spirit and physical strength at the same time.

Lin Xue turned around in surprise and saw Xiaoya behind her in the dream world.

She was only wearing thin clothes, and she barely had a wand in her hand, and she was struggling to maintain the magic.

 “Xiaoya, you...”

Lin Xue was surprised. She really didn’t expect Xiaoya to follow her in.

She came here with the sole intention of going to the Heart of Time to find her true love, and she never thought about leaving when she came in. But what about Xiaoya?

No matter what her reason is, once she enters here, there is no way out. In other words, the moment she fell asleep, she was ready to sacrifice here...

After thinking about this, Lin Xue looked at Xiaoya with both emotion and sadness, not knowing what to say for a moment.

At this time, Xiaoya finally gradually adapted to the rules of reality, gathered more clothes on her body, looked at Lin Xue and smiled: "Sister Xue, you don't have to blame yourself, this is my own decision and has nothing to do with you."

“The moment the emperor opened the entrance to the dream just now, I suddenly felt very familiar. Until I actually came in at this time, I became more and more sure that I must have been here before..."

Xiaoya looked at Lin Xue with tears in her eyes and said with a smile: "Sister Xue, that person who is important to you and me, you must bring him back. This is also my wish!"

Just as she finished speaking, Lin Xue suddenly burst into flames and threw her aside, narrowly dodging a nightmare beast attacking from behind.

 But the two men fell to the ground, giving more nightmare beasts a chance.

Seeing such a good opportunity, several of the nearest black shadows around them rushed towards the two of them like crazy.

But just when the two of them were about to die, several fireballs shot out from behind, hitting several shadows accurately.

 “Lu Yao?”

Lin Xue looked at the acquaintance who had just appeared behind him and was surprised again.

“Sir, why are the local rules so troublesome? Please teach me how to manifest the relics!”

From behind, Lu Yao came up cursing.

After getting closer, Lu Yao met the questioning eyes of the two people and scratched her head, saying awkwardly: "Oh, can you please don't look at me like that? I just couldn't bear to watch you two die one by one, so the boss came in after me. , In fact, I **** regret it so much now! Why did I come in with you and go crazy..."

As Lu Yao explained, more shadows were coming from the surrounding area.

The three of them could only suspend their communication and hurriedly released magic back to back to disperse the nearby black shadows one by one.

“Hey, Xiaoxue, according to you, as long as ‘that person’ you mentioned is rescued, the world will be corrected back to normal, and we will be alive again by then, right?”

Lu Yao asked during the break in the battle.

 “Yes, of course!” Lin Xue nodded quickly.

"That's good…"

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relieved smile: "Otherwise, the three of us will die here together, and no one will burn paper to each other in the future, hahaha..."

　　　…”

Lin Xue was moved in her heart and could not express any more words of gratitude. She only knew that there were two more reasons why this operation must not fail.

 …

With the two people joining us, the originally difficult journey became much easier.

Lu Yao quickly learned to manifest the relics. Under the concealment effect of her relics, the frequency of the three people's battles was greatly reduced.

In this way, he finally succeeded in surviving a whole day and night among countless nightmare beasts.

The next day, the thirty-fifth day after Lin Xue came to this world, the city of time that she had longed for appeared before her eyes again.

The dream forest in front of the city seems to have been eaten away by the Nightmare Beast Gate, and the door to the Heart of Time is so directly open in the fog ahead.

Lin Xue's physical fatigue had reached the extreme at this time, but she still managed to hold on to her spirit and stumbled towards the city gate.

But it was not until she approached the city gate that she realized that the two people behind her were not following. When she looked back, she found that Xiaoya and Lu Yao had been blocked by the nightmare beast, and were almost drowned by the wave of black shadows.

Lin Xue subconsciously wanted to rescue her, but the two people in the distance waved their hands desperately, signaling her to stay away and quickly complete what they had to do.

Lin Xue bit her lip, turned around ruthlessly, and ran towards the city gate even faster, towards the place of heartbreak and destiny...

 …

 In the room, Mu You slowly opened his eyes, with a heavy sigh and a look of vicissitudes of life flashing in his eyes.

Scenes of memories came to mind, and he finally completely remembered the experiences he and Lin Xue had experienced during those two thousand years.

In front of him, his daughter was still fumbling with his beard and babbling: "Mom, don't cry, mom, don't cry..."

“Don’t worry, I promise I won’t make your mother cry again…”

Mu You looked at her daughter with relief, picked her up, and rushed out of the door impatiently.

 In the study room on the second floor.

Lin Xue was sitting in the sunshine on the window sill, knitting a ball of yarn according to the tutorial in her hand.

The sound of footsteps sounded. Mu You held his daughter in his arms and suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

Lin Xue was stunned, looking at his hurried expression, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why are you so anxious? You are a father now, so you need to be more steady..."

“Xiaoxue, I’m back!” Mu You suddenly spoke up, interrupting her.

Lin Xue was startled and looked up at Mu You in surprise.

Looking at his affectionate eyes, the extremely familiar feeling once again returned to the body. Lin Xue quickly realized something, her eyes instantly became moist, and she felt that she had a thousand grievances in her heart that she wanted to tell him.

 The grievances were mixed with a lot of relief and surprises, and finally they all turned into a tearful smile.

 “Well, welcome back.”
