This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous Chapter 1718: Dead Zone: A World of One

A round table is set in the room, covered with a layer of red velvet cloth.

On the velvet cloth, Mu You has arranged a circle of small items: an abacus, spoon, ingot, clock, flute, jade pendant, and so forth.

These are the items prepared for the grabbing ceremony, each with its own aning.

Yes, today is his daughter’s first birthday. In City K, the grabbing ceremony is not very popular, and his family doesn’t believe in it much, but the basic sense of ceremony must be observed regardless.

Mu You prepared the items early, set up the cara, arranged everything neatly, and then carried his daughter to the table.

Little Mu Ling looked at the full table of toys, giggled, and without much thought, reached out to grab everything in front of her.

"No, no, sweetheart, choose just your favorite one," Mu You said softly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ling looked at him with her finger in her mouth, seeming to confirm if she should only choose one, shouldn’t she want them all?

Mu You insisted with a nod, otherwise, the grabbing ceremony would lose its aning.

Little Ling’er obediently widened her eyes, looked around, and tried hard to find her favorite.

Her little hand waved in the air for a mont, and finally landed on a ’knife’.

It was a small curved knife, of course, just a plastic toy. The little girl took the small knife in her hand and began to play, no longer glancing at the other items.

Mu You chuckled and shook his head: "You really take after your mom..."

He didn’t know if it was the overly abundant Grim Reaper’s Bloodline within her or if it was because she was used to seeing Lin Xue wielding the Reaper’s Scythe, but among a pile of toys, his daughter was clearly most interested in the thing that most resembled the scythe shape.

Mu You was already considering whether to find a way to imitate the Reaper’s Scythe and craft a Divine Artifact for the little girl to use in the future.

However, the little girl proved to be only interested for a short ti, holding the toy knife and playing for a mont before she lost interest, discarded the toy aside, and crawled towards Mu You, reaching out her arms coyly: "Daddy... hug..."

"Little clingy bug."

Mu You complained verbally but imdiately picked up his daughter.

The little girl comfortably lay in Mu You’s arms, curled her limbs, and her eyes curved into a look of blissful contentnt.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that his daughter turned one year old today; her energy compensation earlier had made her physical developnt akin to a two-year-old, and as the child of a Divine Authority Holder, her physique was naturally stronger than usual, actually resembling a normal three-year-old who could run and jump.

However, this was only in terms of physical state, her intelligence and experiences still maintained at the level of a one-year-old, so she appeared to be a two or three-year-old but still used to sticking to her parents like a baby.

"Daddy... Daddy..." Mu You was just about to lull his daughter to sleep when the little girl suddenly started babbling.

"Daddy’s here, what’s up?"

"Daddy... Mommy... together... don’t leave..." The little girl said intermittently, clearly trying to express sothing yet unable to due to her undeveloped language skills.

"What’s the matter with Mommy? Daddy and Mommy won’t be apart." Seeing the little girl’s anxious expression, Mu You hurriedly comforted her.

The little girl beca even more flustered, babbling: "...Mommy sad... Mommy don’t cry..."

She reached out her hands, groping Mu You’s face.

Mu You was slightly puzzled, ready to take his daughter to find Lin Xue, wanting Lin Xue to hear what his daughter wanted to express.

At this mont, the little girl touched his chin, her small hands cradling his face, as a gentle energy surged from her hands.

Mu You suddenly felt dazed, standing still.

A segnt of mory sealed deep in his soul began to loosen under the wash of this energy.

Scenes one after another appeared in his mind...

...

Mu You woke up from a state of chaos, opened his eyes, and found himself on a comrcial street.

The busy road was bustling with people, making it seem lively.

However, everything was trapped in an eerie silence, frozen in place like photos, from people, objects to birds and insects in the sky.

The entire world could only move normally for Mu You.

After a brief mont of confusion, Mu You quickly regained his senses; he and Lin Xue had just entered the Heart of Ti, and this was clearly the scene of the Ti Cage.

At this ti, he had returned to his normal human state, no longer possessed any superpowers.

Mu You bypassed pedestrians, walked out of the comrcial street, and continued forward, where a familiar two-story building appeared in his sight—Wonder Pets Store.

Seeing the ’Closed’ sign at the door, Mu You stepped forward, searched himself, took out the keys, and entered with ease.

The house was empty, with no one, only rows of various pets kept in cages, all maintaining their frozen states.

Mu You headed straight for the calendar by the door; the urgent task was to determine the specific ti of this scene.

May 27, 2014, the ti was 12:55 pm.

Mu You understood; in 2014, he was still in college, and both parents were still alive, today they were not at ho, having gone to the outskirts to the pet conservation base to restock.

Mu You rummaged through the house, all mobile phones, computers, and electronic devices were unusable, their screens frozen at this mont of ti suspension.

Moreover, the car couldn’t start; Mu You had to use a bicycle instead.

Habituated to the body of a super-powered individual, suddenly switching to a normal constitution, Mu You found it a bit uncomfortable, huffing and puffing for two hours on a bike, finally reaching the conservation site on the outskirts.
