Tang Xinjue's eyes shrank and his palms tightened.

"It was me who gave you this watch?"

The little boy nodded and shook his head again. He couldn't speak, couldn't make any expressions, couldn't show any direct information. The only answer that can be made is action.

So he moved his finger again and pointed to Tang Xinjue's pocket, the watch belonging to Guo Guo.

Just a slight change in action, but the answer went from clear to vague, as if it still contained other meanings.

Tang Xinjue frowned again, her mind turned sharply: "...when you received this watch, the person standing in front of you was me, but I was not the only one, right?"

"Clap!"

I don't know if I understand Tang Xinjue's words, the little boy suddenly clapped his hands hard, pointed his fingers straight at Tang Xinjue, and then moved to Tang Xinjue's side, in the empty space Poke in the air non-stop, dangling happily ever after.

It is a very strange and abstract action, but for some reason, Tang Xinjue seems to be able to vaguely understand its meaning.

Following this intuition, she spreads her perception and counts in her heart.

One, two, three…

The child pointed out three places in the air.

It was as if there were three people standing there.

Immediately, the child withdrew his hand, took a step back in confusion, and rubbed both hands in the air, as if to erase the position just pointed out.

"Erase" the outermost "people", the child opened his wrinkled coat, took the watch from Tang Xinjue's hand, and put it inside. And then struggling to wipe off the second and third "persons"...

In the end, only Tang Xinjue was "left". The child stomped his feet and stretched out his hands, as if to indicate that he had finished speaking and now asked for a watch.

Tang Xinjue was thoughtful, and after a while, he said quietly, "It's really interesting."

The scene described by the faceless child was unknown to her.

Two completely opposite things cannot be true at the same time. If what the faceless child expresses is true, then what is false is her memory.

So, is the child lying, or is her memory lying?

Seeing that she didn't move, the child stomped her feet anxiously, urging her to give her the watch.

Tang Xinjue raised her eyelids: "You think I already gave it to you, so now the watch is yours?"

The child nodded.

"But I don't remember." The girl's face suddenly evoked a shallow arc: "The one who promised to give you the watch was the old me, the one who got the watch back was the current me, and the two I don't have the same memories, and they can't be confused."

The Faceless Child: "…"

"Besides, your mother hurt me." Tang Xinjue opened his palm and pointed to the almost healed tiger's mouth: "Medical expenses, understand?"

The Faceless Child: "…"

The child rubbed his hands dazedly, and after reacting, he sat down on the spot, shrugging his shoulders, as if he was crying.

After about three minutes, Tang Xinjue pulled her mind out of her tumultuous thoughts, and saw the little boy still sitting on the ground and refusing to move, looking very sad.

With it as the center, the cold feeling quickly released and spread outwards, which lowered the temperature of the entire gas station by more than ten degrees, and it has a tendency to intensify.

In order to prevent this place from becoming an ice cave, Tang Xinjue squatted down, still very gentle: "However, although the watch is gone, I can give you other gifts."

The child ignored it, Tang Xinjue's ruthlessness over and over again has dealt a heavy blow to the ghost's young mind, and it has absolutely no credibility at all.

Tang Xinjue was not in a hurry, she went straight to a cracked ground, grabbed the metal with both hands and pulled it upwards, and threw the refueling gun that had just been thrown over by the depressed young man. The cracked ground was pulled out.

Then she beckoned the child to come over: "How about this, is this gift big enough?"

The faceless child got up in a daze, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was shoved into his arms by the refueling gun, his body swayed suddenly, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Tang Xinjue gently lifted it up: "Such a precious gift, be sure to take it home and keep it well."

faceless child: "!!"

"Yo, why is there a child here?"

The door of the station building was suddenly pushed open, and the depressed young man in yellow uniform finally walked out slowly, seeing the scene in front of him, his face finally showed a trace of interest: "Whose child is this, Why are you still holding... isn't this a refueling gun?"

The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Tang Xinjue said casually: "Anyway, this is not used for scrap, I will recycle it and give it to children to play, and I will ask Grandma Mayas for reimbursement."

“…”

The young man opened his mouth: "Okay, but this gift..."

At this time, the faceless child who saw the youth already cherished and hugged the refueling gun, and dragged it out step by step, clumsily dragging his "gift" into the bushes and disappeared into the depths of the fog.

"...that's so chic."

The young man shrugged and stopped talking, installed the new fuel gun, and quickly filled the convertible with fuel.

"Now you can go on and make sure you reach your final destination safely."

The young man slapped the car door lazily, and when he spoke, his two pale gray eyebrows were pressed down tiredly, making his complexion even paler, as if he was about to die of overwork at any time.

The moment the thought appeared, Tang Xinjue also asked: "You guys have a lot of work here? You seem very tired."

She rubbed her stinging temples and glanced at the empty gas station, as if she was just mentioning it casually.

I didn't have the intention that the NPC would answer seriously. Unexpectedly, the young man glanced at her and said, "I'm a part-time student."

"The regular staff here, there is a small problem, I came here temporarily to take over."

"Student part-time?"

Tang Xinjue caught the word and blurted out: "How many universities?"

…The study of the three universities in the university town has been carved into her subconscious.

She couldn't help smiling, but before she had time to change the words, the young man gave the answer lightly:

"A university."

The hand resting on the steering wheel stagnated, Tang Xinjue stopped the tapping finger.

A thought came to her mind, she said softly: "Which university?"

Then she heard the voice of the youth:

"Students, there is only one university in a university town."

…

University Town.

At this moment, Tang Xinjue understood what the "outside the city road" on the road sign meant.

A peculiar heart palpitation prompted her to raise her head and look away from the road, to the mist-shrouded sky.

This is the world where the game is located, where ghosts are born, and behind the obstacles at the end of the road, may be the truth of this world.

The young man said to himself: "The part-time job is not tiring, the main reason is that the amount of study is a little heavy, so I came out to breathe. Otherwise, I will really die suddenly. Well, you should be fine there. Well, I heard that the three will be easier?"

Tang Xinjue did not answer immediately. After a while, she smiled: "I don't seem to have said that I am a student from three universities."

"How did you know?"
