Tang Xinjue's eyes narrowed and his palms tightened.

"Is it 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, pointing to Tang Xinjue's pocket, the watch belonging to Guo Guo.

Only a slight change of action, but the answer from clear to vague, seems to still contain other meanings.

Tang Xinjue frowned again, and his mind turned sharply: "...When you received this watch, the person standing in front of you was me, but I wasn't the only one, wasn't it?"

"Clap clap clap!"

I don't know if understood Tang Xinjue's words or not, 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 air. It kept poking inside and dangling to and fro.

Obviously, there are ten weird and abstract movements, but Tang Xinjue seems to be able to vaguely understand the meaning.

Following this intuition, she spread her perception and counted in her heart.

One, two, three...

The child is in the air, pointing out three positions.

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 outer layer of "people", the child opened his crumpled coat, took the watch from Tang Xinjue's hand, and put it inside. And then struggling to erase the second and third "people"...

After that, 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."

She didn't know the scene described by the faceless child.

Two completely contradictory 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 stamped his feet anxiously, urging her to give the watch.

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

The child nods.

"But I don't remember." The girl's face suddenly evoked a shallow arc: "The me who promised to give you the watch was the me in the past, and the me who got the watch back is the me now. mixed up."

Faceless child: "..."

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

Faceless child: "..."

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

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

With it as the center, the sense of gloom and cold 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 turning into 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 had already dealt a heavy blow to the ghost's young mind, and had no credibility at all.

Tang Xinjue was not in a hurry, and went straight to a cracked ground, grabbed the metal with both hands and pulled it upwards, and forcibly pulled out the refueling gun that had just been smashed by the depressed youth from the cracked ground.

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

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

Tang Xinjue gently lifted it up: "Such a precious gift, 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 dejected young man in the yellow uniform finally walked out slowly, seeing the scene in front of him, a trace of interest finally appeared on his face: "Whose child is this, why is he still holding... ...isn't that a refueling gun?"

The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Tang Xinjue said casually: "Anyway, this one is also scrapped and can't be used. I will recycle it and give it to children to play, and I will ask Mayas for "milk" and "milk" for reimbursement."

"..."

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

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

"...It's really unique."

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

"You can continue walking now, to ensure that you can 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 from 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 temple, 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 actually said, "I'm a part-time student."

"As for the regular employees here, there is a small problem. I came here temporarily to take over."

"Student part-time job?"

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

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

She couldn't help but smile, but before she could change her words, the young man gave the answer lightly:

"A university."

The hand resting on the steering wheel froze, Tang Xinjue stopped the tapping fingers.

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

Then she heard the youth's voice:

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

...

college town.

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

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

This is the world where the game is located, the place where ghosts and monsters were born, and behind the "mystery" barrier at the end of the road, it may be the truth of this world.

The young man said to himself again: "Part-time job is not tiring, the main reason is that the amount of study is a bit heavy, I came out to get some air. Otherwise, I would really die suddenly. Well, you should be fine there, I heard that the three books will be easier.?"

Tang Xinjue didn't 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?"
