This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

"Where's the shadow pompom?"

Mu You glanced at the shadow behind Linglong, but didn't feel the presence of Ying Jian.

In Linglong's memory, the part about the shadow pompom is also very vague, it seems that it disappeared a long time ago and never appeared again. As for how it disappeared, because the memory was too messy, Mu You couldn't find it for a while.

"Tricked away by that dead face!" Linglong said angrily.

"A herb picker?" Mu You asked.

"That's right, that guy is too shameless. He said he would return it after borrowing it for a day, but he pretended to have amnesia as soon as he sent it out. I'll say he is 'greedy'!" Looking at Mu You with an aggrieved face, like a child who is looking for an adult to complain: "You have to make the decision for me, the main body, you obviously gave it to me!"

"What does he want the shadow pompom for?" Mu You was a little surprised.

"Who knows, anyway, after Xiaoqiuqiu was taken away by him, I haven't seen it again. I don't know if it was hidden by this guy or lost..." Linglong pouted.

Mu You couldn't help frowning after hearing this. It would be wrong to say that the herb pickers lost the shadow pompom, but it seemed that the herb pickers were indeed doing something in secret.

"I'll go down and have a look." Mu You suddenly got up and said.

Below what he said, of course, is the Dark Cave. From Linglong's memory, he already knew that there was also an entrance to a dark cave in Rose City, and it was in the palace.

"Go, but I won't go, I can't do without me outside." Linglong said indifferently, took out a stone plate from her body, and handed it to Mu You: "Take the twin stones, use this connection if you need something."

Mu You took the stone plate without asking what it was, as Linglong had already given the answer in her memory.

Twin stones, as the name suggests, are two stone disks that will always remain in the same state. If any one of them changes, whether it is broken, bumped or scratched, it will immediately show the same change on the other, which is called magic. Quantum entanglement in the world.

In addition, this thing has the ability to restore itself, no matter what kind of scars appear, it will quickly return to its original form over time.

This is an item that Linglong bought by accident from a traveling merchant on the eve of the Great Disaster Era in the last era.

This thing didn't seem to have any practical use, but Linglong soon discovered that this stone plate could be used in dark caves.

You must know that even the game system can be blocked in the dark cave, so it is difficult for people in the dark cave to transmit information to the outside world, and vice versa.

But the conduction characteristics of the stone plates can cross planes, no matter how far apart they are, the words engraved on one of the stone plates will immediately appear on the other, thus achieving the purpose of real-time interaction inside and outside the dark cave.

Mu You nodded, put away the stone plate, and prepared to leave.

"Don't you need to ask Xiao Lanlan to come with you?" Linglong asked suddenly.

"Uh, don't bother her, I'll just take them..."

Mu You smiled dryly, and pointed to the dozing orange cat and the miniature bone dragon beside the table, with evasive eyes.

He doesn't know what the fairy girl has experienced in the past four thousand years, but to him, the other party is just an NPC who only appeared in a word game the day before. The feelings he showed towards him were obviously a bit too enthusiastic, which made Mu You feel a little overwhelmed for a while, and instinctively wanted to avoid it.

"No need to explain, I understand... But, it's better not to neglect others too much, that child, it's not easy these years..." Linglong gave him a meaningful look.

But just after she finished speaking, her eyes lit up quickly, and she stared straight at the closed door in the distance.

Mu You followed her gaze, and saw that in front of the stained glass door at this time, through the reflection of the outside light, one could clearly see the figure of a woman, crouching stealthily at the door to eavesdrop. That familiar wizard robe shape, who else could it be if it wasn't Fuya?

She probably didn't expect that the glass of this door is one-way...

Linglong instantly regained her spirits, like a hunter who has found a prey, hurriedly made a booing gesture to Mu You, then lifted her skirt, and tiptoed cautiously towards the door.

Mu You shook his head helplessly, ignored the two of them, and walked deep into the palace alone.

Tens of seconds later, Fuya's screams sounded from behind.

At this time, Mu You had already arrived in a basement deep in the palace.

The basement was empty, except for a few round boulders piled up in the center of the ground.

Mu You easily pushed the stone away, revealing a black lacquered entrance the size of a wellhead below.

This is the entrance to the Dark Cave in Rose City. In fact, there are many such branch entrances in Bitter Garden, scattered all over Sky City. These three people have discovered one after another over the years, and most of them have been filled directly. Prevent others from entering by mistake.

"Owner!"

Just as Mu You was about to jump into the cave, a blue figure floated quickly from outside.

The fairy girl stopped in front of Mu You, panting, obviously coming here in a hurry.

"Master, are you going down to the dark cave? Do you need Lan to lead the way?"

"Uh, no need, you can continue to rest, I can do it by myself." Mu You subconsciously shied away.

"Lan doesn't need to rest, and the roads in the dark cave are complicated. If there is no familiar person to lead the way, you may get lost. Let me lead the way..." the fairy girl said expectantly.

"Don't worry, you won't get lost, I have something to guide you." Mu You took out the map fragments and showed them.

The fairy girl was stunned when she heard the words, and was silent for a few seconds before looking at him aggrievedly: "Master, do you hate me?"

No matter how careless she was, she could still sense Mu You's alienation from her.

"how come……"

Mu You hurriedly waved his hands, wanting to explain, but then remembered Linglong's words just now, and stopped on the verge of speaking.

"Okay, you lead the way." Mu You said.

"Um!"

The fairy girl nodded in surprise, like a child who has been affirmed by an adult, and flew into the dark cave with a happy face.

"Ah..." Mu You sighed as he watched the goblin girl disappear, and had no choice but to jump in.

Entering the dark cave, it was as dark as in the text description.

Fortunately, after Mu You took away the unicorn arm before, the wind element in it returned to normal, and it was no longer forbidden to fly.

Mu You directly took out the broom, caught the fairy girl and put it on his shoulder, and flew all the way down under her guidance.

This flying experience immediately felt the difference. When flying in the game before, you would encounter an attack from a dark cave beast basically every one or two minutes, but this time you have been flying for a long time without encountering a single attack. Pass.

"The Lord of Calamity has been slaughtering the Dark Cave Beasts on the road leading to the bottom of the Dark Cave all these years. Over time, the Dark Cave Beasts have formed instincts and dare not approach here again, and this road has become safer. "At this time, the fairy girl seemed to sense his doubts, and took the initiative to explain.

"oh?"

After hearing this, Mu You's heart moved: "Do you usually see the Lord of Calamity in the dark cave?"

"Well, because I often go back and forth between the dark cave and the ground, the Lord of Calamity will take the initiative to find me and entrust me to help him convey any orders and tasks." The fairy girl said.

After hearing this, Mu You quickly asked: "Then do you know what the Lord of Calamity has been doing secretly all these years?"

"I don't know..." The fairy girl shook her head: "The dark cave is really too big, and the Lord of Calamity is always appearing and disappearing. I don't see him many times, and each time there is only a short communication. After that, he will disappear……"

After the fairy girl finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Although he is withdrawn and indifferent, I can feel that he is doing something 'right', and it seems that he has been waiting for you The day I came back..."

"so……"

Mu You frowned and didn't ask any more questions.

Thanks to the fairy girl leading the way, the journey was much shorter than expected, and the two reached the ground in only about two hours.

Mu You saw the only light on the ground at a glance, and controlled the broom to rush towards it, hovering in front of the light.

The source of the light is the barrier that used to be the Fairy King, but now the guards inside have been replaced by beaters.

Contrary to expectations, Mu You originally thought that four thousand years had been spent in such a small space, and the current watchman had either transcended into a Buddha, or collapsed into a mental illness.

However, when Mu You arrived, the watchman was lying on his side in the barrier with a leisurely expression on his face, supporting his head with one hand.

There was some kind of fruit plate on the ground, and Tina was kneeling in front of the fruit plate, carefully peeling and cutting the transparent fruits, and then flying them into his mouth.

"Huh? Main body, long time no see!" The watchman saw Mu You, his eyes lit up, and he sat up on the ground awkwardly: "You should be coming soon, but I didn't expect to show up today!"

"You seem very comfortable..." Mu You looked at the beater with a strange expression.

The appearance of the watchman at this moment looks almost the same as it was four thousand years ago. The only difference is that the dark circles under his eyes have obviously increased, just like Gaara.

"Can't you be comfortable? You don't need to work every day, you can be as lazy as you want, sleep until you wake up naturally, and someone will serve you and feed you. It's a king's enjoyment. You can let me stay here for another four thousand years..." The watchman stretched his waist and said.

"Tina is not serving you! Tina just happened to pick up a bunch of crystal fruits when she went out. In addition, Tina doesn't like to eat sour food. In order to avoid waste, she gave it to you as a merciful reward. Hurry up and shut up Tina and eat it!" Tina seemed to be annoyed by the beater's words, and with a red face, she picked up the remaining fruit and stuffed it into the beater's mouth roughly.

"Every day you sleep, what's the matter with your dark circles?" Mu You asked a little strangely, ignoring the fight between the two.

The watchman swallowed the food in his mouth in a hurry, and then he recovered, and said with a wry smile: "I can't sleep well, it's because Xiaoba bothers me every day, causing my biological clock to be disordered for a long time..."

"Little Ba?" Mu You was stunned.

"Oh, that's the name I gave this guy." The watchman pointed to the top of his head.

"This guy would repeatedly whisper in my ear every night before going to bed, 'I will devour you sooner or later', 'Fear is immortal', etc. It is so expressive, what can I do? I had to hurt each other, The result is that we have to toss every night until we are both tired before we can rest, and it has become like this in the long run..."

The watchman pointed to his eye sockets, and said, "As for Xiaoba, it's because the first story I told him was the story of the loyal dog Hachiko. Can you believe it? He was fascinated by it! It took that name."

"Bastard! I am the snake of the tool, the source of fear in the world! Not a dog!"

Suddenly the deafening sound of a snake came out of the watchman's head, at the same time the snake pupils in the sky opened their eyes, one glared at the watchman, and the other looked at Mu You.

Mu You looked at the snake pupils in the sky, and felt the hairs all over his body standing on end, but that was all. There was no such thing as fear or trembling as described in the previous game, and even the skin of the gods appeared automatically.

Obviously, the power of the snake has obviously declined.

Thinking about it is right, according to the lamp god, it is now the end of the season of fear, the beginning of the season of desolation, and the power of snakes has entered a period of fading.

"Look, this guy is still so active, and suddenly he jumped out and made people jump." The watchman plucked his ears helplessly.

Although the watchman was smiling and talking the whole time, Mu You, as the main body, immediately saw the tiredness flashing in his eyes.

Obviously, four thousand years ago was not as easy as he described.

Thinking about it, I have fought wits and bravery with creatures like snakes for four thousand years. If there is a slight slack in the spirit, there is a possibility that the other party will take advantage of it. I am afraid that even when sleeping and dreaming, you have to maintain your will from the subconscious Be firm, after so many years of persistence, even if you are a watchman, I am afraid that you are already exhausted.

Fortunately, he has come, no matter what, all of this will end today, and the watchman will soon be free.

Mu You shook his head, turned around and walked somewhere behind.

Under the weak light, Mu You could vaguely see something like a statue standing here.

When the watchman noticed Mu You's movement, he immediately waved his hand and threw a beam of light to this side.

As the light shines, something hidden in the darkness is suddenly exposed: a man in a cloak, with one hand raised, remains motionless, like a wax figure.

Mu You sighed, this is exactly his game character, and he still maintains the mysterious person's skin, and maintains the state when he disconnected.

However, at this moment, his character's whole body is covered with a layer of crystal clear crystal, which seals him intact like sealing wax.

"This is?"

"This is the fairy's tears. The tears of a high-ranking fairy have the power to seal and solidify matter." At this moment, Tina floated nearby, and sighed.

"Ontology, for the past four thousand years, the toxin of chaos has been raging on your character. If it wasn't for the little girl who kept suppressing it for you every day, your character would have been swallowed by the chaotic energy long ago." explain.

"Creatures like goblins are very specific, especially goblins who have reached a deep contract. If the contractor is not around, they will be very anxious and anxious, not to mention that you have disappeared for four thousand years..." Tina said .

"For the past four thousand years, she has tried every means to preserve your body every day, and she almost shed tears for this. Don't let her body down..."

...

When the two of them spoke one sentence, Mu You's forehead was sweating.

The fairy girl next to him just looked at him shyly: "This is what I should do..."

Mu You could only smile wryly at this. No matter how simple something is, once it is multiplied by the foundation of four thousand years, it will become extremely terrifying.

It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like to guard an empty shell for thousands of years.

Perhaps it was in the thousands of years of loneliness and anxiety that she changed from the original pure and kind fairy to the current somewhat radical and paranoid fairy.

But the more he understands this, the more difficult it is for him.

The blood-burning effect brought to him by the fairy girl's jealousy is just a small problem. Even if it is the upper limit of 200 points, he now has the ability to easily erase it. Ignoring this side effect, what is really difficult to appease is the psychological debt.

For the fairy girl, it was four thousand years of waiting, but for him it was only a moment. No matter how fierce the fairy girl's feelings for him are now, he can't give the other party the same affection. Even if he shows superficial care and protection, it's just accommodating under the psychology of debt, not real feelings.

Mu You really doesn't know what to do now to repay this big favor.

When he first came to Bitter Garden, the reason why he instinctively avoided the fairy girl was probably because he had already foreseen such a thing.

Mu You shook his head, now is not the time to think about these things.

He took out the pen of order from the ring, and from the perspective of order, the figures in front of him suddenly turned into countless runes of order and chaos.

After observing for a while, Mu You raised his pen and started waving it.

The reason why his game characters can't enter the collapsed state when the game is offline is because they are affected by the poison of chaos and are forcibly anchored in place by the power of chaos.

Now, although he is not yet able to detoxify directly, it is still no problem to slightly relieve some superficial side effects and restore the character to an actionable state.

As Mu You began to swipe his pen, the watchman and Tina consciously quieted down, not daring to disturb him.

However, neither of them noticed that the fairy girl was standing behind Mu You in a daze, watching him in a daze.

Mu You didn't know that as he approached the game characters and started to unblock the game characters, just like when he was able to see the fairy girl's life memory, his memories and thoughts began to be bit by bit by the fairy girl. read.

After being dazed for a long time, the fairy girl showed a bitter expression.

"So it's like this... Did I cause trouble..."

"No, it shouldn't be like this...I can't be a problem...I don't want to be a burden..."

The goblin girl murmured, after a battle between heaven and man, her originally melancholy face quickly became firm, as if she had made some kind of decision, she finally looked at Mu You's face, tears dripping down, and she quietly entered dark.

Mu You waved his pen on the spot for half an hour before finally stopping.

And as the last stroke fell, the crystals on the whole body of the game character in front of him shattered and scattered all over the place.

The game character finally regained the ability to move, and the arm slowly fell, and then it quickly collapsed from top to bottom to a point and disappeared.

Mu You breathed out, this time the game character is finally offline, now go back and start the game again, the character should have returned to normal.

Before Mu You could breathe out, suddenly a burst of golden light surged all over his body, and an extremely huge energy poured into his body for no reason.

While Mu You was stunned, his level began to soar at a speed visible to the naked eye.

21...22...23...

All the way to level 25!

Mu You could feel that the reason why he stopped at level 25 was not because he ran out of energy, but because the bottleneck at level 25 blocked him, and the remaining energy was blocked, otherwise he should be able to continue to rise a little!

"This is?" After regaining his senses, Mu You felt his new level in surprise, and looked at the beater with some puzzlement.

"Sure enough, we guessed before that it might be useful." The watchman had such an expression on his face.

"What do you mean?" Mu You was puzzled.

"Fairies don't have a level and experience system. The experience they gain will be automatically transferred to the contractor. Based on this, No. 2 made a guess. Although you are not in the main body, your character is anchored here by chaotic energy and becomes unable to move. The empty shell, together with the sealing effect of fairy tears, can lock your character status. In this case, the experience cannot be stored, but it will not disappear out of thin air. Maybe it can be stored in the form of a card bug. In the future, when the character is the first time When you unlock the crystal lock, these stuck experience will be returned to you in a wave, and now it seems that you guessed right."

The watchman laughed and said, "So you have to thank the little girl. Every monster she has eliminated over the years has accumulated experience in your character."
