Chapter 142 Autobiography (VII)
Mu Yu turned around abruptly and pressed his back against the wall.
His heart was beating fast and his breathing became quickened silently. He stared straight into the void in front of him and his palms became sweaty.
There was silence in the room behind him for two or three seconds before the sound was heard again.
"What are you looking at?"
"……nothing."
"Then I'm leaving."
"Qu Ge."
"What's wrong?"
"You may be right about one thing," the boy said calmly, "Regarding his return, I have always believed that there is still hope."
There was another silence.
When Qu Ge spoke again, he no longer asked why, but smiled.
"During the three years of high school, I always felt that I was the only one obsessed with you two, but you two didn't seem to have anything in particular to be obsessed with. You didn't care about anything, and Mu Yu was heartless and did whatever he wanted."
"But now, I feel like I should really go back to that time and get to know you two again."
Lu Zhongnian did not respond, and Qu Ge's footsteps came towards the door.
He walked out of the treatment room.
As if he had not noticed at all the strange bronze door that appeared in a corner, he walked through the empty hall and headed towards the internal medicine clinic. Half a minute later, he walked up to the second floor holding a silver pill.
…
Mu Yu flashed out of the inpatient department and returned to the door of the treatment room.
He leaned against the wall, leaned his head slightly, and stared at Lu Chongnian's back in a daze.
The boy stood there, still with his back to him, motionless, not knowing whether he was thinking about something or waiting for something.
In these few seconds of silence, they were alone, yet it seemed as if they were accompanying each other in a wonderful way.
The sound of Mu Yu's heartbeat in his chest was infinitely amplified and echoed heavily.
Lu Chongnian seemed to tilt his head.
Mu Yu shrank his neck, almost thinking that he had discovered him and was about to talk to him.
The next second, he hesitated again - did he need to hide? Could he go out and see him?
But Qu Ge didn't even see the bronze door. Was he just transparent air to them?
Before he could think of an answer, Lu Chongnian suddenly jumped lightly.
He lifted his feet off the ground and flew into the air.
The rope was pulled straight, he disappeared from sight, and Mu Yu's heart suddenly felt empty.
He tightened his hands and his throat felt tight.
After looking up into the sky for a while, his gaze gradually lowered and fell forward.
On the lawn of the empty treatment room, there are five small trees growing scattered around, and their branches are all full of abundant "fruits" - antibiotics.
Five trees.
Correspondingly, there are five skins.
Mu Yu's eyes were dim.
Taking a deep breath, he turned around and cast his eyes towards the red vending machine standing against the wall not far away.
In the air, golden words appeared again, indicating the time.
[The door of wishes will close in one minute, please hurry up. 】
Mu Yu ran towards the machine.
Like the vending machines that had appeared in the copies he was familiar with, the one in front of him also had a horizontal crescent-shaped mark on the top, like a sinister smile.
There are fifteen grids in total, and only the one on the lower left is empty. The product name marked is called "Maximum Attributes", which requires 9 coins.
The difference is that the note for maxing out this attribute is not what he remembered as "You can max out the attributes of the item, but everything is excessive, and the item may not be stable after it reaches the maximum value", but "You can choose an attribute of the item in your hand, and use your imagination to max out this attribute."
In addition, Mu Yu had never seen the other fourteen props sold in this machine.
There is a small toy broom called the "magic broom", a pink Polaroid camera, and some "musician's baton" and "lollipop" - these fancy props look much more interesting, but of course their purpose is completely unclear from the appearance.
And this vending machine contains a dagger and a pair of scissors.
【Thirty seconds left.】
Mu Yu suddenly had a sense of déjà vu - he found that although the golden font reminded him all the time in his field of vision, he did not feel the "sight".
He had never felt this since he stepped into this space and time!
Is it that the thief's sight does not exist in this copy of time and space, or is it that the guardian still exists and He has blocked those sights once again?
No, that's not right. The Guardian couldn't have blocked such a large area of vision, right? Did he just remove him from the Thief's sight? Was this entire time travel a bug that the Thief hadn't anticipated, and the Guardian took advantage of it to send him here?
Mu Yu suddenly had an idea and took out a demon coin from his pocket.
Can he use this vending machine?
He inserted the coin into the slot and pressed the scissors' dedicated button.
Soon, with a thud, the scissors fell from the object collection area - the exchange was successful, and his demon coins could also be used in this time and space!
He had no intention of touching those props of unknown purpose, but quickly exchanged another demon coin for the dagger, and then used 18 demon coins to exchange it for two "maximum attributes".
In his hands appeared two "maximum attribute" stickers.
【Ten seconds left.】
Mu Yu turned around and ran with the four things in his pocket.
He took one last look in the direction of the treatment room, gritted his teeth and rushed back into the bronze door!
*
After stepping back into the living room, Su Mingyun was stunned when she saw what was in his arms: "Ah, you got it!"
But...are scissors and daggers really useful?
Mu Yu's breathing was rapid and his face was pale: "Let's try it first."
He put a "Maximum Attributes" sticker on one of the handles of the scissors.
Su Mingyun was even more confused, but did not interrupt him.
Mu Yu closed his eyes - a question suddenly popped up in his mind.
[Please select one attribute: 1. Its material; 2. The type of items it can cut; 3. Its appearance; 4. Its touch]
Mu Yu chose 2 without hesitation.
Another sentence came to mind.
[Now, please make a bold imagination based on this attribute. Your imagination will be the final appearance of this prop. ]
Mu Yu thought to himself: This pair of scissors can cut through all visible and invisible objects in the universe.
【The attributes have been successfully maxed out. 】
Mu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
How could such an almost cheating attribute be successfully added? Was the space-time thief too generous, or did it think that even if it gave humans such great power, humans would not be able to make any splash?
He used the same method to add the attribute of "being able to cut through all visible and invisible objects in the universe" to the dagger.
With two heaven-defying items in hand, he didn't believe that he couldn't solve the problem of fog on Lu Chongnian's body.
Su Mingyun spoke at this time: "What's inside that bronze door? You looked very unhappy when you came out just now. I thought things were not going well."
Mu Yu was about to answer when he suddenly paused.
His voice dropped. “Do you feel that?”
"What?" Su Mingyun was stunned. The next second, she looked around suddenly and lowered her voice, full of uncertainty, "It seems that the sight has disappeared?"
——Yes, my sight is gone again.
A visual vacuum appeared at their location.
Mu Yu felt that the blood in his body was rushing.
He almost subconsciously looked towards the vending machine on the left - the bronze door had disappeared, and the silent machine reappeared in their sight.
His Adam's apple rolled, he turned around and walked straight towards the machine.
Su Mingyun shuddered - she suddenly remembered that the same situation seemed to have happened when Mu Yu got the mobile phone that belonged to Lu Zhongnian from another time and space!
It turns out that the Guardian has not completely disappeared?
Her heart was beating fast as she watched Mu Yu squat down, put his hand into the deep opening, and then froze.
"…What is it? What's inside?" she asked nervously.
Mu Yu withdrew his hand.
Su Mingyun gasped - his hands were covered in blood.
"Lu Chongnian again?" Su Mingyun squatted down and asked fearfully, "Did you touch Lu Chongnian's hand again?"
Mu Yu shook his head stiffly.
He did feel a hand in the darkness again, but this time it was not Lu Zhongnian's.
This hand was smaller, about the same size as his palm...
…It seemed to be his hand.
And at the moment their hands touched, countless unfamiliar images, countless unfamiliar conversations, shouts, and chaotic sounds flooded into his mind.
The strange and violent flow of information, those things that seemed to be his lost memories, rushed into his brain roughly, causing his thoughts to stop instantly. He could only freeze there, motionless and accept the torrent.
Mu Yu's breathing became heavy.
His fingertips trembled slightly.
His eyes grew hot and his throat became dry.
His series of reactions frightened Su Mingyun.
Mu Yu suddenly rushed over and put his hand back into the access area.
He grasped the hand in the dark that had not yet retracted, and stuffed the scissors that had been fully activated into it. Then he quickly took out his mobile phone, opened the memo, typed some words, and stuffed the phone in as well.
Su Mingyun was stunned: "You gave me your phone too?"
Mu Yu lay down and shouted at the dark hole where the items were retrieved: "Do as I say, quickly! This is the only way to save him! We still have a chance, he will come back!"
He yelled until he was hoarse.
Su Mingyun was so frightened at first that she dared not move. Then, as time passed and Mu Yu's voice became more and more hoarse, she mustered up her courage, moved closer and pulled his hand.
"Is he still there? ... Has he disappeared? Muyu, we still have to complete this copy... Muyu!"
The wood rain suddenly stopped.
His chest heaved violently.
He still stared intently at the depths of the retrieving area.
"Lu Zhongnian is still waiting for us," Su Mingyun said in a trembling voice, "You have done your best, and we have more important things to do now."
There was nearly a minute of silence.
Mu Yu stood up, took off his glasses, raised his hand and wiped them - in the darkness, Su Mingyun couldn't tell whether he was wiping sweat or tears.
She only knew that after the boy in front of her put on his glasses again, his eyes became sharp.
His voice was horribly hoarse.
"Let's go."
