[You have arrived at the west area of the underground factory. 】
[You pass by disguised as a cleaning robot and clean all the way. 】
[You see that the entrance to the west area in front is covered with checkpoints and monitoring equipment. The yellow lines drawn on the ground represent that this is a prohibited area. 】
[Noticing your approach, the reconnaissance camera above immediately focused on you. In front of the entrance, an elderly administrator wearing reading glasses and sitting on a recliner reading a book also looked up at you. 】
[You had to change direction in front of the prohibited line and continue to sweep forward...]
Mu You looked at the text in the game and found that it was not that easy to enter the place. The entrance here was specially arranged for administrators to guard it 24 hours a day.
Next, he controlled the character to wander around the area. Unfortunately, all places that looked like entrances were tightly guarded, and even cleaning robots were not allowed to approach.
But again, no matter how tightly defended a place is, it can never be airtight.
Since there is a Gu Pond in the Western District, thousands of Gu Insects must produce a large number of insect corpses every day. How to discharge these garbage?
Mu You continued to search patiently nearby.
About half an hour later, he found a place.
[You find a dozen cleaning robots gathered in front of you, guarding in front of a black river. 】
[You step forward and find a large number of Gu insect corpses floating in the river. It is these insect corpses that dye the river water into pitch black. 】
[These cleaning robots stand on both sides of the river just like assembly line workers, constantly fishing out insect corpses from the river and throwing them into the trash cans on their bodies. When the trash cans are full, they are transported out in batches for destruction. 】
[You squeeze into the robot team to help, and at the same time look around, and soon discover that there is a pipe mouth connected to the end of the river, and black water is being continuously discharged from the pipe...]
Mu You understood when he saw this. This pipe was obviously a sewage pipe, and it was probably directly connected to the Gu Pond. As long as you followed this pipe, you should be able to reach the Gu Pond directly.
[You moved away from the river and walked around the pipe at an angle that other robots could not see. 】
[You entered the pipe mouth. The pipe is filled with rotting insect corpses, pushed forward by the flowing water at the bottom. 】
[You walk against the current, and the two mechanical arms push away the insect corpses around you, crawling deeper into the pipe. 】
[Many of the corpses of Gu worms are acidic and corrosive, and will corrode any creature that accidentally enters the pipeline. Even mechanical bodies cannot escape the fate of being corroded. The shell of your mecha is being corroded and softened a little bit. Fortunately, you are equipped with active armor, which can continuously repair your damage. The speed of damage and repair tends to be balanced. 】
[After crawling forward for a certain distance, you find that living Gu worms gradually begin to appear in the pipe, and as you move forward, the number increases rapidly. 】
[All kinds of living poisons are crawling all over your body, constantly swimming on the surface of your body, as if they want to find a breakthrough and penetrate into your body. Fortunately, you are now a mechanical body and cannot be parasitized by poisonous insects. 】
[Although worms cannot burrow into your body, the appearance of a large number of worms will still greatly hinder your progress. In particular, many worms have burrowed into your joints, making body movements more and more difficult. 】
[…The Gu worms have completely blocked all your joints, and you can’t move! 】
"Depend on."
Mu You's eyelids twitched.
A robot with super power can get stuck in its joints by bugs until it freezes. You can imagine how dense the bugs here are.
Fortunately, this is a word game, and a few lines of words passed easily. If it were a 3D game, no one would be able to withstand the impact of this kind of graphics.
Muyou had no choice but to log out of the game and log in again after half a minute.
[You appear in a sewage pipe full of poisonous insects, feeling relaxed and continuing to climb forward. 】
When offline, the character will enter a state of collapse in place. At this time, of course, the bugs attached to the body cannot follow the collapse, and will be naturally expelled and fall back into the pipe. When online again, the game character will become clean. net.
However, this state could not last long. After about a minute, the text informed that the mecha was once again covered with bugs and could not move again.
There was no other way, so Mu You had to go online and offline every minute to clean the bugs on his body.
I crawled through the pipe step by step for more than an hour, and finally, a new prompt popped up.
[You climbed out of the end of the pipe and entered an extremely wide arc-shaped pool. 】
[The pool is filled with dense worms, dozens of times higher than the density of worms in the pipe. 】
[Thousands of insects are squirming and squirming around the pool, making the entire pool look like a boiling insect lake...]
Finally he arrived at the Gu Pond described in the diary. This place was really amazing, the number of bugs was much more than he imagined.
Of course, the more such a place is, the more likely it is that insect nemesis will appear.
Mu You hurriedly controlled the character to continue crawling hard in the Gu pool.
Now his body was pressed to the bottom of the Gu Pond, and his head was covered with a swarm of insects at least several meters high, making it impossible to see what the outside world looked like.
Mu You simply activated the Sand Spider Nest.
[Hundreds of sand spiders emerge from your body and explore in all directions of the insect pool. 】
[A large number of detection screens flash in front of you, but the screens are basically covered by dense insects...]
The scope of this pool was ridiculously large. More than a hundred sand spiders were working at the same time. It took half an hour before the first information was finally transmitted back.
[One of your sand spiders found a crumpled note in a crack in the wall somewhere at the edge of the Gu Pond. 】
Mu You hurried over to check.
[This note was wrapped in an antiseptic book cover, but it was still pitted with insect bites. 】
[You opened the note and vaguely made out the writing on it. 】
[Fragments of Louise’s diary. 】
[...I was taken into the dark underground by that weird Granny Yu, into a dormitory, or a hospital. According to Granny Yu, I contracted a very serious disease and had to undergo treatment here for several years. treatment... When I entered the hospital, I found that there were many children waiting for 'treatment' like me... I was assigned to Ward 15 of the North District Treatment Center. It seemed that there were people living here not long ago, because there were people in the room. There are many items left by the previous owner, but now, they are all mine...
The girl who lives in Ward 14 next to me is a girl named Mianmian. She looks about the same age as me. She has a pair of ruby-like eyes and straight long hair. Her facial features are also exquisite, like a doll. As cute as a doll... I tried to say hello to her, but she ignored me. When she looked at me, there was not even a trace of expression on her face, just like the eternal ice and snow on the plateau, indifferently rejecting people thousands of miles away. This I was a little disappointed... Until that night, when everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep, I suddenly heard a faint knocking sound coming from the wall, coming from Ward 14 next door... I lay on the wall and was trying to listen. Clearly, the knocking sound suddenly stopped, and then a note was sent from the bottom of the wall...
I opened the note and it said "You can go anywhere, but don't enter the West End, there is a terrible 'monster' there"... This was the first time I heard the legend about the 'monster', it came from next door Friendly reminder to patients...
——1/8]
This time it is the first page of the diary. There is not much valuable content on this page. Apart from mentioning the keyword 'monster' again, the only useful information is probably the words 'Ward 15 of the North District Treatment Center' 'This specific location.
The North District is the abandoned area he searched before, but the area is too large. He just passed through most of the places and did not search them with the search spell. This ward is the room where Louise has lived for a long time. There might be other clues inside.
Of course, there's no rush. Let's finish settling the matters in this pool first.
Almost as soon as Mu You finished reading the contents of the diary, a new prompt popped up.
[One of your sand spiders saw a golden light on the other side of the Gu Pond, which looked so dazzling among the black bugs everywhere. 】
[You immediately control the sand spider to get closer and continue to explore. Soon the sand spider emerges from the insect tide and sees a small blank area in front of you. In the center of the blank area, there is a golden silkworm chrysalis, surrounded by swarming insects. The sea surrounded the silkworm chrysalis, but they all seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and did not dare to get close at all. Only then did an open space appear around the silkworm chrysalis. 】
[Golden silkworm chrysalis: The young eggs of golden silkworms can hatch into mature golden silkworms. The contracted golden silkworms will help you swallow the worms on your body at any time and feed them back into your physical strength and magic power. Each time you swallow a Gu insect, you will recover 500 magic points and increase your mobility by 5 points. 】
Mu You's eyes lit up when he saw it, it was indeed a golden silkworm!
Moreover, the specific effect of this golden silkworm also surprised him. Not only can it remove the poison, but it can also help restore physical strength when swallowing the poison.
Eating a Gu can restore five points of mobility. So as long as he can get this golden silkworm, he will have unlimited physical strength when operating in the Cook Sea area from now on!
Mu You hurriedly asked the characters to come closer, preparing to go out of the sea of worms to take away the silkworm chrysalises.
As a result, before he could take action, a new prompt suddenly popped up in the game.
[You are about to approach the chrysalis when you suddenly hear a faint human voice in front of you. 】
["President, everything is normal here, you don't have to worry..." This voice is quite familiar, it is the voice of the Ma Gan man who took you into the underground factory before. 】
[At this time, another voice sounded: "Well, I can't move now, and I need to concentrate on another body recently. I will entrust you with full authority to take care of the affairs in this meeting."]
["What trouble happened in the Forgotten Land?" the voice of the Ma Gan Man. 】
["There is some trouble. I was injured by the Fool's design. Moreover, the Fool seems to have mastered the method of identifying us and started a vigorous search." Another person's voice. 】
["What are your plans?"]
["How long until the next opening of the space rift? I need a specific time."]
["According to the rules, there are still 43 hours and 32 minutes before the space crack opens. This time is the long-lost space wave peak. After opening, the crack will last for up to seven hours. After the crack ends, it will not open again in the future for at least half a year." The voice of the Ma Gan man. 】
["Yes, it seems that Tianshi is on our side, and we only need to survive the exploration of those fools for 43 hours... However, in order to prevent the fools from finding the space cracks in advance, during this period, let Other shadow messengers who are 'sleeping' in the core area put some bait out from time to time. Remember, you must throw the 'bait' away from the cracks to divert the attention of those fools." Another person's voice. 】
["Yes...but, where is No. 14?" The voice of the Ma Gan man. 】
["No. 14... happened to fall into the hands of someone who is not easy to offend, so I can only give up temporarily..." The other person's voice was gritted. 】
["Then... do you need to send someone to monitor the former residence of No. 14? That person has obtained No. 14, and maybe he will investigate." The voice of the Ma Gan man. 】
["Don't create unnecessary complications! No. 14's residence is very close to the location of the crack. If someone is sent there, there may be clues discovered. Instead, it will attract the Fool's attention here."]
[You go tell the other shadow messengers that no one should get close to the crack recently. The highest priority mission of everyone at the moment is to escort me safely back to the Star Spirit Realm. For this, everything else can be sacrificed... You understand me. You mean? "Another person's voice.]
[...Understood. Don't worry, President, I will persuade them to be a good bait with peace of mind. I will also give them a decent ending and let them return to the embrace of the Lord." The voice of the Ma Gan man. 】
["Yeah, very good." Another person's voice. 】
[The conversation ended, and at the same time there was a sound of footsteps. 】
[Through the perspective of another sand spider, you see the Ma Gan man walking down the high platform in the center of the Gu pond and falling into the Gu pond, but there is a golden silkworm's nest fixed on his waist, and a golden silkworm's nest in the silkworm's nest. The silkworm is slowly squirming. 】
[Under the intimidation of the golden silkworm, none of the surrounding Gu insects dared to approach the Ma Gan man, and consciously made way for him. The Ma Gan man walked out of the Gu pool along the road until the footsteps disappeared into the darkness... 】
Mu You patiently read this long text without taking any action along the way.
He didn't expect that someone was standing on the platform next to the Gu pool, only a few dozen meters away from him. Fortunately, he was buried deep at the bottom of the insect tide, so he was not discovered. By the way, he overheard the other person. dialogue.
And this conversation is very informative.
First of all, the other party mentioned space cracks!
In other words, these shadow people have not been traveling to and from the earth through the door, but through the space rift. They can even calculate the exact opening time of the space rift, and the next opening will be 43 hours later. Calculated by time, that is Saturday morning.
This person seems to be planning to let his shadow escape when the space crack opens, and in order to achieve this goal, he even does not hesitate to use other shadow people as bait, just to prevent the space crack from being exposed in advance.
Second, this person just mentioned that he is 'unable to move' now. In other words, in the process of casting the shadow into another world, the shadow man's body will enter a state similar to 'bed rest'. Moreover, this person seems to be the boss behind the Undead Society. He is not locked up with other shadow people, so he needs to pass the message through the Magan people...
But having said that, since the boss of the Undead Society is very close to him now, there is only one person, and he is still in a state of being unable to move...can't he take action directly?
If you can directly kill the behind-the-scenes boss here, many problems will become much simpler.
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately held his pocket watch and gave the game character a 'fight' command.
[You realize that this is the perfect opportunity to kill the opponent's boss. You make a prompt decision and jump directly out of the insect tide. Machine guns, cannons and other weapons appear at the same time, aiming at the high platform next to the Gu pool, preparing for firepower. Fully open. 】
[However, before you can draw your gun, in the darkness on the high platform, some kind of terrifying existence suddenly opened its eyes...]
[You are enveloped by a strong pressure, you are unable to move and your consciousness is blurred. 】
[You feel something coming towards you...]
【You are dead! 】
