This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

"?"

The continuous prompts startled Mu You.

He wasn't particularly surprised that he died after the attack. What really surprised him was that the text of this death didn't even describe the process at all.

In the past deaths, at least remind the process of being killed and the situation of the killer, etc. For example, when he was killed by that Granny Tang not long ago, the text at least told him that he was killed by a shadow ghost. Not at all.

This kind of death without any prompt is the first time since entering the game.

Mu You hurriedly pressed the pocket watch, and tried other attack methods.

[You switched to a vampire skin, jumped out of the bug swarm again, appeared, and released a small fireball towards the high platform in the distance. 】

【However, before your fireball takes shape, in the darkness above the high platform, there is some kind of terrifying existence that locks on you instantly...】

[You feel a powerful coercion coming, which makes you unable to move, and your consciousness is blurred...]

【You are dead...】

"Backtracking..."

Mu You pressed the pocket watch again helplessly.

I used the vampire skin, but the result is still the same. Except for a slight change in the text, the whole process has been changed. The moment he appeared, a certain 'existence' on it would wake up, and then he would die instantly...

From this point of view, the 'monster' mentioned in Louise's diary is really not just mentioned casually. However, just using 'monster' to describe this thing is too euphemistic.

Then Mu You went back several times, trying to break through from other directions.

In the end, they all failed. The surrounding area of ​​the entire high platform is all the hunting range of that 'thing'. The surrounding ring-shaped Gu pool surrounds the middle high platform like a moat, but it is better to say that this Gu pool is for protecting the high platform Said that these bugs are to separate the high platform from other areas, in case someone strays into it and is swallowed by that thing.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

In just a few seconds, the man with the stick went back and forth, reappearing on the high platform.

"President, what are your orders?"

After a few seconds of silence in the darkness, another voice came.

"Today's Gu pool always feels a little disharmonious... Go and find out if something has been mixed in."

"yes."

The Magan man jumped into the Gu pool immediately, and the surrounding Gu insects were all away in an instant under the threat of the golden silkworm. Wherever he passed, all the insects would consciously give way.

The Ma Ganren just explored the entire Gu pool, inside and out, and found nothing unusual.

"President, there is nothing." The stick man returned to the high platform to report.

"An illusion..."

Another voice said to himself, and then said after a while: "Be careful recently, don't let any creature step into the meeting."

"I understand that the entrance to this place has been well hidden, and I personally guard it. Without my permission, no one can take a step closer to the entrance." Magan said.

"It's not enough to just guard against people. Now that Sky City is docked in the Cook Islands, those fools will always have some strange abilities. You need to monitor the movements of those fools more. It's best not to let even a single bug in! said another.

"yes."

After the magan man finished speaking, he took his leave and disappeared again soon.

Now there was silence again.

A few minutes later, a muffled growl suddenly sounded in the darkness on the high platform.

Accompanied by this sound, the sea of ​​Gu worms below suddenly burst into commotion, and the worms near the side of the high platform receded like a tide, revealing a ring-shaped open space in the pool, and the area of ​​the open space was still getting bigger and bigger. It got bigger and bigger, until the worm wave was squeezed to the limit on the side of the Gu pool and finally stopped.

The bugs shivered and piled up together, not daring to move, and the exposed part on the other side of the Gu pool, everything at the bottom of the pool became unobstructed.

At a certain moment, an extremely tiny object slowly floated up from the crack in the ground and landed on the platform.

It was a broken metal foot smaller than gravel, shaped like the hind leg of an arthropod.

...

On the other side, Mu You had already turned back the same way.

Just now, when he noticed that the stick man was going back and forth, he returned to the sewage pipe ahead of time.

As for the golden silkworm chrysalis, he didn't move it for the time being, after all, someone was watching the Gu pond all the time, so it would be too obvious if it moved.

By the time the game characters climb out of the pipe, the sky is already bright in reality.

Mu You quit the game temporarily and checked the news on the satellite phone.

The overnight meeting held by the exchange group and the Defense Society last night has ended. After a night of discussions, the Japanese side finally came up with a fairly reliable response plan: a thorough nationwide investigation and monitoring!

According to current intelligence, although these shadow people can perfectly disguise themselves as humans, the cycle and cost of obtaining a shadow should not be low, otherwise it would be impossible for them to infiltrate single-digit high-level government personnel after so many years.

As for the few people who did not come to the self-examination last night, after investigation, it was found that they had lost contact for a period of one to two months in the past five years.

From this, a conclusion can be drawn: if these shadow people want to obtain a shadow, they must first kidnap someone, and it will take at least a month before they can replace them.

Therefore, if you want to find these shadow people, you only need to investigate the missing people in the past five years, especially those who have been out of contact for more than a month and then suddenly reappeared. Surveillance cameras are connected to the Internet to search for portraits in this batch of databases in real time.

Mu You didn't care about how the Japanese side planned to investigate.

At this time, in the group of the exchange group, their own tasks have also been released.

The first is a piece of data software, which was shared by Japan. It stores all the files of missing persons in Japan in the past five years. If they encounter suspicious persons, they can compare them at any time.

There is also a map of Japan covered in dense red dots.

"This is the result of marking all missing persons on a map corresponding to where they disappeared."

Director Wang typed and explained in the group.

"It can be clearly seen that the missing persons in Tokyo are regular, especially in this area."

Director Wang also sent out an enlarged partial map. The main area shown on it is a place called 'Qianya District' in Tokyo. The density of red dots in this area is much higher than that in the surrounding areas.

"So, the focus of our search in the next few days is this area."

In the task of the exchange group, it is not mandatory for everyone to go to where to check, but to let everyone go out and investigate freely, and investigate those people and things that make them suspicious. The only thing to pay attention to is to keep the mobile phone unblocked at all times, because recently Shadow ghosts may appear at any time and need timely support.

Mu You is not optimistic about the investigation plan that was exchanged between the two parties. After all, this kind of investigation takes too long, and the boss behind the scenes will escape in two days, so there is no time to find out much.

What he noticed now was another location.

In the game before, the person behind the scenes said a word: the residence of No. 14 is very close to the space crack!

The No. 14 here should refer to Ward No. 14, which is Mianmian.

Then 'the residence of No. 14', of course, is the home of Ye Rumeng and Sister Mianmian in Japan.

Mu You had asked for the address of the little girl's home before coming here, and marked it on the map software.

Open the map software at this time, and compare it with the map of "Qiangu District" sent by Director Wang, everything becomes clear at a glance: the location of the little girl's home is just on the west side of Qiangu District, only 100 meters away from this area. It's about a kilometer away.

It's no wonder that the person behind the scenes did not hesitate to arrange for his subordinates to self-destruct, but also tried their best to divert human attention away from this side.

The space crack is near their key investigation area. As long as they expand the search range a little bit from the original plan, it is possible to cover the space crack.

But about the space crack, Mu You doesn't plan to announce it, otherwise a group of people will come here to search, and they will definitely startle the snake. Once the person behind the scenes is forced to choose to continue to dormant on the earth, it will be very difficult to find him. .

Therefore, this spatial crack can basically only be found by Mu You himself.

This is not urgent, there are many people in the daytime, Mu You plans to wait until night to check.

After checking in in the group, Mu You returned to the game.

[You appeared in front of the Heihe River outside the West District, and there was no one around, and the cleaning robots that were originally salvaging insect corpses by the river were gone. 】

After going online, the robots gathered in this place seemed to have disappeared, and Mu You didn't care, he only thought that they had charged up, and hurriedly controlled the characters to rush to the North District.

[You came to the North District Treatment Hospital and found the front of Ward No. 15. 】

[Looking into the ward through the window, everything in the room has already been cleaned up, leaving only dust and an empty bed board. 】

[You switched back to the vampire skin and used the unlocking spell. 】

[The door lock pops open, and you quietly enter the room, only to find a line of footprints on the floor, judging from the clarity, it seems that they have just been there. 】

[Time is limited, you ignored the footprints, waved your wand and used the search spell...]

[Search successful! You found two items related to Corday Louise. 】

"oh?"

Mu You was overjoyed, unexpectedly found two clues at once?

[You hurriedly searched along the guide, and soon found a note under the wall crack in the corner of the room. 】

[Fragmented pages of Louise's diary. 】

【...Mianmian and I exchange some private messages through notes every night, which made us quickly become good friends. She taught me a lot and helped me quickly adapt to life here... But what makes me strange is that, Mianmian always seems to be very sleepy, and sleeps with her eyes closed whenever she has the chance, and sometimes she even falls asleep suddenly while playing, eating and walking, so she often throws herself black and blue... I once asked Mianmian why She loves to sleep so much, she quietly told me a secret: when she falls asleep, her consciousness will travel into another world, which is a wonderful world, without oppression, without disease, and full of all kinds of things you have never seen before. Every day, Mianmian would tell me what she saw and heard in the dream world, and I was deeply fascinated by the dream world she described... This is what I look forward to most every day for a long time to come thing...

——2/8】

I found the second page of the diary again, this time the diary is all about 'Mianmian', Mianmian really has the ability similar to Ye Rumeng, and can also enter the dream world when falling asleep, it's a pity that there is no space in this place Backpack, otherwise she can escape with the help of the rules of the backpack just like the little girl.

After recovering, Mu You continued to search, and found two clues just now.

[You continue to search along the guide, and finally find a broken music box behind the windowsill. 】

【You open the music box, only to find that it is empty. 】

【Obviously, you came a step late, and the contents inside have already been taken away...】

"Um?"

Mu You froze for a moment, the second clue was broken.

Combined with the 'footprint' reminder just now, it seems that someone really came here before and found the diary in the music box in advance.

Besides him, the humans who can freely enter this abandoned area are obviously only 'administrators'.

[You realize that it may be that some administrator took the clues before you. 】

[Judging from the footprints on the ground, this person is a woman, and the only female administrator you have seen in this underground factory so far is the old lady in green wearing reading glasses! 】

The clue was actually preempted by the administrator...

Mu You frowned, which meant that if he wanted to get all the diaries, he had to grab them.

After thinking about it, Mu You decided to go to the central district where the administrator lived first to find out where this person was.

As a result, when he arrived in the central area, he realized that something was wrong.

[You see cleaning robots and labor robots gathered in the front area one by one, and there are several administrators around, all covered with fangs and claws, wandering in the robot queue, mercilessly Attacking the surrounding robots, one after another the robots turned into scrap iron under their hands. 】

"Destroy the robot?"

Mu You was taken aback, why did he suddenly want to destroy a large number of robots? Could it be that he had already been exposed?

Mu You was thinking about where his flaws were exposed, when a notification popped up on his phone.

【"The robot in front, stop!" You heard a shrill shout from behind. 】

【Looking back, there is an old lady in green clothes walking towards you behind you. 】

[The old man wearing presbyopic glasses looked at you vigilantly, and scolded: "I didn't ask you all to go to the Central District to wait in line for inspection, why didn't you go?" You choose...]

Suddenly someone discovered that Mu You had planned to go back immediately, but it happened to be the administrator in green who found him here...

After a moment of hesitation, Mu You made a decision: Do it directly!

Anyway, he has been exposed, if he doesn't do anything now, there is a high probability that he will be chased and intercepted until he is kicked out. It's better to fight before leaving. It's best to get the things if he can beat him. If he can't beat him, he will only live for one year. That's all.

[You chose to pretend that the track was injured, showed the other party your damaged walking device, and broadcast with a mechanical voice: "The walking device is malfunctioning, unable to move...\
