This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

[... You have come to the thirteenth floor of the library. 】

[As you wander in the outer corridor again, all the surrounding scenery becomes distorted and folded, as if you are walking on a muddy yellow swamp road, with countless howls of resentful souls in your ears, all in Persuading and threatening you to stop...]

[The sound of high-heeled footsteps suddenly sounded close at hand, accompanied by an angry reprimand. 】

【You were discovered by Mrs. McKenna! 】

【However, before she gets close to you, the ghost monster behind her rushes towards you with an ax...】

"Backtrack!"

Mu You hurriedly pressed the pocket watch.

[Time flies, you go back to five seconds ago. 】

[Knowing that there is an administrator approaching ahead, you stand still in a hurry and quickly enter a deep stealth state. 】

[The administrator held a lantern, passed by you again, and continued to patrol the floors below...]

This administrator aunt seemed determined to patrol the whole night, wandering up and down non-stop, so dedicated that Mu You had nothing to say.

More importantly, as he walked upstairs, his game characters seemed to have some signs of madness. The san value dropped, the mental state was worrying, and the reminders about the footsteps became more and more vague.

At any rate, he had given him some time to react before, but this time he didn't get a step reminder until he bumped into someone.

Fortunately, there is a pocket watch, which provides Mu You with a very high fault tolerance rate.

Next, under the interference of the two creatures, Mu You moved to the fifteenth floor step by step with difficulty.

【...You are in the corridor on the fifteenth floor, you have completed the fifth circle, and then climbed the stairs leading to the sixteenth floor. 】

[Stepping up the stairs, when you thought you had reached the sixteenth floor, you found that the floor sign in front of you was not '16', but '15'. 】

[Stepping into this hidden floor, you find yourself in a brand new library. 】

[In a space of hundreds of square meters, like an ordinary library, there are a large number of bookshelves, each of which is filled with books covered in dust. History and legends of destruction. 】

[This is the mysterious mezzanine hidden in the Red Rose Library, a campus legend called 'Silent Library'. Those who dare to enter here are all voyeurs who want to pry into the dusty history, remember the rules here and don't make any noise, otherwise it will bring unimaginable consequences! 】

[The moment you step into the library, you immediately hear the sound of a large number of beasts breathing on the roof of the building separated by two walls. Every sound of growling and exhaling seems to be clearly heard in your ears, that is silence The sound of the beast, once you disturb them, they will rush to you through the wall within ten seconds...]

"Finally came in..."

Seeing the text reminding him that he had successfully entered the silent library, Mu You heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't have time to relax, so he immediately clicked the 'Search Curse' in the magic column of the panel.

A text box popped up, and Mu You entered 'City of Dawn' into it.

[You waved your wand, released the search spell, and searched the library for anything related to 'City of Dawn'. 】

[Magic power surges, and countless symbols and words of the astral world emerge from the surrounding books, hovering in front of you like a kaleidoscope. But in order to avoid being noticed by the creatures on the roof, you can only suppress the output of magic power as much as possible, and the search speed has slowed down a lot. 】

[Searching, expected to end in 2 minutes and 34 seconds...]

"Does it take this long?"

Mu You stared blankly. The current time is 0:46 on Friday, and the search only takes two and a half minutes, which is more than enough to finish before 1:00.

However, the problem is that there are still two patrols wandering around repeatedly outside, who knows when they will come up again.

Sure enough, a similar text popped up in the game at this time.

[Because there is too much information stored in the library, the search spell takes longer than you can imagine. If you can't complete the search before Mrs. McKenna searches the top floor next time, the magic power of the search spell will definitely attract the attention of the silent beast following her. 】

[At that time, you will be blocked in the library by the furious silent beasts, be torn to pieces by them, and become a ghost forever. 】

[It's still too late to give up the search and leave. Do you give up action immediately? 】

"no!"

After running around all night, it's finally the end, so we must see the results before we talk.

Moreover, Muyou has teleportation magic, even if he is really blocked in the library by the Silent Beast, he can put down the dark teleportation array on the spot at any time and escape.

Then came the agonizing waiting time.

The first two minutes were passed without any risk.

However, when the countdown entered the last thirty seconds, Yao Mozi still appeared.

[Outside the door, footsteps sounded again. 】

[Ms. McKenna once again came to the stairwell on the nearby floor, and this time, the silent beast behind her finally sensed the strange aura upstairs, and immediately let out a low growl, sending a signal to the other companions on the top floor , asking them to check it out. 】

【Accompanied by this sound, you can feel that the silent beasts on the roof, which were originally stable, also started to riot one after another, and the roars of wild beasts came and went one after another. 】

【You feel the breath on the roof rapidly approaching your direction. Obviously, you have been spotted and you must leave immediately! 】

It was still found.

But since it has been discovered, there is nothing to worry about.

Mu You directly chose to 'cast spells with full force'.

[You still don't give up, you mobilized all the magic power in your body, cast the search spell with all your strength, and the search speed has been greatly improved...]

This increase in speed was really effective, and Mu You watched the countdown of the last twenty seconds, which decreased at an extremely fast speed until it returned to zero.

At the same time, a super long text jumped out.

[The search was successful, you found an article related to Dawn City: ...]

The text below is actually full of protoss symbols, which is a rubbing of the original text in the book for him.

Mu You didn't have time to take a closer look, and clicked the 'Dark Teleportation' on the panel as quickly as possible.

【You put down the dark teleportation array on the spot, and then jumped into the array before countless silent beasts rushed towards you. 】

[After a period of dizziness, you wake up in the captain's room of the Ghost. 】

Fortunately, the transfer was successfully completed.

Mu You first clicked on the teleportation array in the captain's room to try it out.

In the teleportation location that pops up below, there is no option for 'Silent Library' at all, and the teleportation array over there has obviously been dismantled by the Silent Beasts.

When he came back to his senses, Mu You had time to look at the one-and-a-half-page Protoss language text.

After finding a pen and paper and briefly translating the content, Mu You discovered that it was actually a diary.

The owner of the diary seems to be a fisherman who lived more than a thousand years ago. When he went fishing one day, he was captured by the octopus king Zubacz, and he was taken to work in the pirate-infested evil sea area.

And this diary records what happened during his hard work in the Evil Sea.

One day, he suddenly saw a huge floating island falling from the sky and falling into somewhere in the sea of ​​evil spirits. According to the description in the original text, "the tsunami caused by the huge island entering the sea easily destroyed countless ships of the octopus kings and pirates around. , and caused drastic changes in the surrounding terrain, and he was washed away by the tsunami, taking the opportunity to escape the control of the Octopus King...'

The fisherman survived by luck, and after inquiring, he found out that the floating island that fell that day was actually the "City of Dawn of the Sky Clan"...

"City of Dawn actually fell into the sea?"

After reading the translated content, Mu You tapped his fingers on the desk, lost in thought.

There are actually only three key words mentioned in this diary: the sky tribe, the octopus king Zubac, and the sea of ​​evil spirits.

Sky Clan, this supposedly refers to the Clan of Fools.

As for the other two keywords, Muyou searched the forum.

There are relatively few posts mentioning 'Evil Spirit Sea Territory', but there are many mentions of 'Octopus King'.

After reading a few articles, Mu You roughly understood the relationship between these two nouns.

The octopus king Zubac is not another name for a character, but a real giant octopus sea monster. It is said that the body size has reached more than 150 meters, and it has a wisdom no less than that of human beings. It has long been entrenched in the sea of ​​evil spirits.

The Sea of ​​Evil Spirits is a vast sea area located between the Suez Ocean and the Infinite Sea in the south of the Astral Realm. There are more than 300 islands, large and small, in it. There are many important shipping routes in the sea area, which has become a paradise for pirates and a nightmare for sea merchants.

And the octopus king seems to have been cursed, unable to leave the scope of the sea of ​​evil spirits for life, and can only wander in the sea all year round.

In order to maintain order in the sea area, the Octopus King occupied Nax Island in the center of the Evil Spirit Sea as a gathering place for pirates, and transformed an ancient palace connected to the bottom of Nax Island into a submarine prison. Commands, or pirates who behaved mischievously in the sea of ​​evil spirits, will be caught by it and sent to the undersea prison to bear the punishment it formulates.

"Nax Island, the submarine prison..."

Among the information searched in the forum, Mu You immediately noticed the name.

When I met the beaver in the underground river before, it seemed that I had seen a blueprint called "Nax's Submarine Prison Distribution Map" in the chart it sold.

Thinking of this, Mu You logged into the game again, and found the 'beaver whistle' that the beaver had left him before from the items.

[You blow the beaver whistle. 】

Mu You thought it would take at least half a day for the beaver to come over after the whistle was blown.

Unexpectedly, he went out to complete a update task, and when he came back, a prompt popped up in the game.

[A small boat suddenly appeared on the river in front of the Ghost, and was speeding towards you. The person standing on the bow of the boat was the beaver who had dealt with you last time. 】

[The small boat quickly docked next to the Ghost, and the beaver wearing goggles applied to you for boarding. agree or not? 】

[You have granted Beaver's request to board the ship. 】

[The beaver stepped onto the deck of the ghost ship with its suitcase, and politely asked what do you need? and shows you its contents. 】

[Guaro sea area map, Cook Islands sea area map, Nax submarine prison distribution map, Basi sea area map...]

Mu You took a look, and found that there were two new charts in the box, and everything else was exactly the same as the last time he saw it, including the blueprint of Nax's submarine prison.

After thinking about it, Mu You clicked on Beaver's text, and in the interactive options that popped up, he entered 'Sea of ​​Evil Spirits'.

[You try to ask the other party, is there a map of the 'Evil Spirit Sea'? 】

【The beaver immediately nodded and asked you to wait for a while, then left the deck, jumped back to its boat, and found a new scroll in the backpack at the stern. 】

[The beaver returns to the Ghost and tells you that what it holds in its hand is the 'Map of the Sea of ​​Evil Spirits', which sells for an intermediate spell scroll. Do you want to buy? 】

"There are really..."

After a little hesitation, Mu You simply bought the two related charts.

The spell scrolls in his hand now include a high-level 'Searching Curse', and the 'Summon Treants' that he got from the meeting yesterday, which is an intermediate scroll. Buying these two charts is just enough.

After the purchase is complete, Mu You clicks the two charts from the game.

Both charts were sealed in waterproof glass bottles, and Mu You took them out one by one to check.

The Nax submarine prison map has content on both the front and back pages. The front is the structural map of the submarine prison. It draws all the passages, prison distribution, guard distribution, etc., which is quite detailed.

On the other side of the map is the topographical distribution map of Nax Island. The outline of the land on the map looks like a sea turtle, so this island is also called 'Turtle Island'.

Turtle Island is the territory of the Octopus King, and it is also the commercial center and distribution center of the evil spirit pirates. Anyone who comes here must abide by the rules of the Octopus King. Fighting and robbery are strictly prohibited within the island, so this place has instead become a place for pirates to occupy. In the evil spirit sea area, there is a rare safe area.

This chart is equivalent to buying two, which is quite conscientious.

Then Mu You looked at another picture.

The evil spirit sea area map is not as detailed as the previous one. After all, it is a super-large-scale sea map that covers the entire sea area. It can only be said to depict the relative positions of the islands in the sea area, and then clearly mark the important routes. , As for the specific topography of each island, only a rough outline was drawn.

Mu You searched for a while, and found that Nax Island is located southwest of the center of the Evil Spirit Sea, and it is only an inconspicuous point on the entire chart. There are hundreds of islands around the size of Nax Island.

According to the description in that diary, the fisherman saw the sky island fall on the territory of the Octopus King, and the terrain of the point of the fall has undergone a huge change. This should mean that the fall of Sky City formed an island at the point of the fall. such land.

Assuming that the territory of King Octopus here refers to Turtle Island, then each of these islands near Turtle Island may be the crash site of Dawn City.

Mu You glanced at the sea chart again, and couldn't help but secretly sighed.

This chart is still too big. There are nearly a hundred islands scattered around Turtle Island. It is necessary to identify the past one by one and get when.

Fortunately, there is finally a destination.

Mu You re-entered the game and gave the ghost ship a new goal to go to the sea of ​​evil spirits.

[Go to the sea of ​​evil spirits, drive with the wind all the way, it is estimated to arrive in 7 days and 8 hours...]

Nearly a week's voyage is acceptable.

Mu You nodded, took out the map fragment and looked at it.

There are no marks on the two fragments yet, that is to say, all nine fragments of Dawn City have not yet appeared.

"It doesn't matter, let's go there first."

Mu You reckoned that the Son of Heaven's people should also be approaching the Sea of ​​Evil Spirits. If they encountered it on the way, they could try to grab a fragment.

With the Ghost in hand, he still has some advantages in the battle at sea.

After arranging the course of the Ghost, Mu You saved the Elven Horn into the game, and then took the phone into a certain backpack.

The abyss flying dragon that was brought back from the meeting yesterday was being left in the corner of this space.

This flying dragon has woken up, but it is still seriously injured. In addition, the shrinking spell is still in effect, and it is dying and limp on the ground, unable to move.

In order to prevent it from making a fuss after waking up, Mu You specially fed it the 'weakness potion' yesterday, which is a second-order potion, the effect is to make the creature weak and weak, and greatly hinder the recovery speed of the injury.

The Abyss Flying Dragon found someone approaching, and immediately became vigilant and wanted to take off. Unfortunately, it was so weak that it was difficult to even move, let alone flap its wings.

If the flying dragon can make a contract, it would be the best to contract directly as a familiar.

It's a pity that dragon monsters cannot be contracted in the normal way, let alone this adult creature from the abyss, full of wildness, it can only be exchanged for a phoenix egg.

It's just that the flying dragon is now on the earth, and currently creatures cannot access across borders. I don't know if this can be considered as completing the task.

Mu You manipulated the Elven Horn in the game.

[The princess of the Sunshine Elf Clan, Selina Sunshineer, appears in front of you. 】

[You explain to the other party that you have captured the abyss flying dragon alive, but because you are in the forgotten land, you cannot send it to the astral world for the time being. 】

[Selina cast a lie detector spell on you, and after confirming that what you said is true, she said that she can extend your time for a week. 】

[Before next Friday, take the captured Abyss Flying Dragon to Phoenix City, the capital of the Sunlight Elves, and meet Selina to exchange for the original reward. 】

Sure enough, he couldn't collect creatures across borders, but at least he extended the time for a week. It's easy to go to Phoenix City, and just bring it to the other party when he enters the door in a few days.

All that remains is to ensure that the dragon does not die within a week.

Mu You fed the Abyss Flying Dragon another bottle of drowsiness potion, then left the backpack and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Mu You was awakened by the phone ringing.

After taking out the phone, it turned out to be Xue Lin's call.

"Are you awake? Go to the international version of the forum and have a look." After connecting the phone, Lin Xue's voice came.

"Oh? What?"

"It's hard to say on the phone, you'll know after looking."

After hanging up the phone, Mu You immediately opened the forum, switched to the international section and glanced at it.

Then she immediately understood what Lin Xue meant.

At this time, on the homepage of the international section, there was a hot post that was being manually pinned to the top.

"Dawn City Fragment Summoning Order!" "

The name of the post is very explosive, and the person who posted it is also very conspicuous: the divine right of kings - the Son of Heaven.

Mu You immediately clicked on the post and looked at it.

There are three things in total in the post.

The first thing is to announce that their Sovereign Right God-given organization has collected two fragments of Dawn City and is looking for collaborators.

The second thing is to call all the people who have the fragments of Dawn City to visit a certain city in Europe to discuss the opening of Dawn City. As the landowner, the divine right of king will guarantee the personal safety of all participants with the guarantee of reputation.

The third thing is that I hope that the person who owns 'Piece Five' will contact them proactively.

After reading the post, the first thing Mu You did was to log in to the game and check the status of the two map fragments.

Sure enough, the pieces had changed.

[You can see a faint arrow pattern appearing on the back of the two Dawn City fragments, each pointing to the location of the other. 】

Mu You clearly remembered that before going to bed early in the morning, there were no arrow marks on the fragments, but they were there this morning. It seems that in the past few hours, all the fragments of Dawn City were found.

Mu You went to check the status of the Arcane Tower's full server mission.

[Full server mission: Destroy the Arcane Tower (timed out). 】

[A total of 30/36 arcane towers were destroyed during the mission. 】

[The undestroyed Arcane Tower has been transformed into the Eternal Arcane Tower. 】

[The rewards for the unbroken Arcane Tower map fragments have been distributed in other forms. 】

The arcane tower mission just ended three hours ago. In the end, six towers were not pushed down, and the map fragment rewards for these six towers were also distributed in some way.

Probably these six pieces happened to contain the fragments of Dawn City, and this shot completely gathered the fragments of Dawn City.

Looking back, Mu You looked at the post of the emperor again.

Aquarius just told him yesterday that the Son of Heaven gathered three fragments, but the information they announced here is only two fragments.

Comparing the two, Mu You is of course more willing to believe the information of Aquarius, which is obviously a smoke bomb released by the divine right organization.

As for going to Europe as a guest, that's impossible, only fools will go!

This group of people has finished the map, and they are waiting for the fragments to gather on the ground. Once the entrance is opened, they can attack the city.

However, if he doesn't go, it doesn't mean that others won't go.

In order to open the entrance of Dawn City, the nine fragments must converge sooner or later, and the owners of other fragments who do not know the truth may be fooled.
